Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly
Speaker 2: source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and
Speaker 2: whatever stupid stuff they decide to drop into the show.
Speaker 2: Now here's your host, Paul Chargian.
Speaker 1: Welcome, It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchian, my
Speaker 1: co host as usual. Brian Johnson up charge. Oh, I
Speaker 1: just like it be.
Speaker 3: I'm just closest there is that you are.
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's a factor. I mean, Scott Fish lives on
Speaker 1: the total other side of town. Matt Harrison's out in
Speaker 1: the boondocks. Yeah, so we gotta you know, So maybe
Speaker 1: that's it. Maybe they don't actually hate me, which would
Speaker 1: be good.
Speaker 3: I was really soping you're gonna say. No, you're the
Speaker 3: best co.
Speaker 1: Host and you're the best co host. Absolutely absolutely, Before
Speaker 1: we jump into our breakdown of the AFC West and
Speaker 1: the NFC to offseason moves and the most overdrafted players,
Speaker 1: which is really a sleeper and bus segment. If you've
Speaker 1: heard the last couple of weeks, you know we're identifying
Speaker 1: the players who we are and are not targeting. For
Speaker 1: each one of these teams. Before we jump into those,
Speaker 1: a reminder, you can get my cheat sheet Guillotine leagues
Speaker 1: dot Com for free. You can get the premium sheet
Speaker 1: if you want to spend ten bucks. It's got all
Speaker 1: the deep dive data you will want for your guyoteen
Speaker 1: leagues and even on guillotine leagues. We've got a super
Speaker 1: cool new app coming really now, pretty shortly excited to
Speaker 1: show you the new mobile app for guillotine leagues, private leagues,
Speaker 1: public leagues and are super cool, super chop high stakes
Speaker 1: leagues where you can win thousands of dollars. So all
Speaker 1: that going on at guillotine leagues dot Com.
Speaker 3: All open for business.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, baby, Nothing like a guillotine league draft. It's
Speaker 1: so different. The mentality is so different, the drafting's so different,
Speaker 1: the in season management's so incredibly different. Get to work
Speaker 1: your fantasy brain in all new ways in the Guillotines.
Speaker 3: And unlike standard leagues drafting right now, if your first
Speaker 3: round pick goes down, your season's essentially over, but not
Speaker 3: in a because the all you gotta do is not
Speaker 3: come in last, and that still you can do that
Speaker 3: losing a first round pick, say in training camp or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and you just replace him.
Speaker 1: Ye, go to war Go spend some money, and Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey's on the waiver wire after week one, Go spend.
Speaker 1: You can solve that problem.
Speaker 3: Eighteen leagues are the best format to draft early in.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can because you can anything
Speaker 1: that goes wrong, so easy, absolutely, absolutely true.
Speaker 3: Let's go to the FC West.
Speaker 1: Let's just start with Let's go with the Chiefs on
Speaker 1: the AFC West. The Chiefs are the it's the sun
Speaker 1: of the AFC West, and the other three teams just
Speaker 1: revolve around Kansas City.
Speaker 3: Yeah, off season moves that matter. Kansas City let Juju Smith,
Speaker 3: Schuster and Mikole Hardman walk in free agency.
Speaker 1: Those were not barely qualify as moves. They will not
Speaker 1: be missed.
Speaker 3: Kansas City did draft Rushy Rice in the third round.
Speaker 3: People are intrigued by him, big body, wide receiver. We'll
Speaker 3: see how that goes. Also signed Richie James from the Giants.
Speaker 3: Not an offseason move, but Justin Ross, who is freshman
Speaker 3: year at Clemson, looked like he's gonna be the top
Speaker 3: wide receiver in his class. Had the neck issue last
Speaker 3: year put on ir he could make the team. So
Speaker 3: another guy, I want to keep your eye on will
Speaker 3: the offense be better or worse than last year? Not worse.
Speaker 3: If everyone doesn't seem like it, I'll say say better.
Speaker 3: I think I like you know again, they're not gonna
Speaker 3: miss Juju. They're not gonna miss Hardman. She Rice turns
Speaker 3: out to hit by all means they're gonna be a
Speaker 3: better offense.
Speaker 1: And sky Moork has room to get a lot better.
Speaker 3: Guy More and Kadarius Tony if he can stay healthy.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of receivers there. None of them are
Speaker 3: my most underdrafted player by ADP by the way, they're
Speaker 3: all they're all pretty cheap outside of Mahomes and Kelsey,
Speaker 3: Kelsey and Mahomes.
Speaker 1: Outside of Tyreek Hill in the Mahomes era, every other
Speaker 1: receiver you've drafted, and it's been all of us. Every
Speaker 1: other Chiefs receiver has not worked out out for you. You know.
Speaker 1: Everybody else is just like I just I just want
Speaker 1: to I just want somebody. Patrick Mahomes is throwing too,
Speaker 1: and so you know, go get me Cole Hardman or whoever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's all blown up. All the best ball
Speaker 3: drafts I've done. When I've gotten Kelsey and Mahomes. You
Speaker 3: gotta take them with the first two picks you can.
Speaker 3: It is not hard like I have stacked eight nine, ten.
Speaker 3: Why not like because you can if you got them, Yeah,
Speaker 3: because you can. There, it's not you don't have to
Speaker 3: really reach to get all these guys. But I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go with Jerreck McKinnon going off the board. Is RB
Speaker 3: forty three right now, certainly a premium in PPR formats
Speaker 3: non PPR not as much, but not as many people
Speaker 3: play that these days. But he was a league winner
Speaker 3: last year the second half of the year, eight nine
Speaker 3: receiving touchdowns. So just you know running backs, there's not
Speaker 3: a ton of bell cows, and he's a great pass
Speaker 3: catching back on a great offense. RB forty three, Uh,
Speaker 3: he's a value there.
Speaker 1: I'm shocked it's RB forty three, just briefly, because typically
Speaker 1: if you have the great December and playoff run, everybody
Speaker 1: remembers those recent games and that momentum carries over to
Speaker 1: the drafting the next summer.
Speaker 3: Well, now, Jeric McKinnon, what suppresses value is he was
Speaker 3: unsigned for a while in Kansas City finally signed him,
Speaker 3: but again, his ADP has kind of just been on
Speaker 3: a plateau, which is a I don't know he's a
Speaker 3: steal right now in my mind. Cadarius Tony not a
Speaker 3: steal though. He's my most overdrafted player by ADP. Love
Speaker 3: his potential. He just struggled to stay healthy, so I'm
Speaker 3: not convinced he can do that. What is his ADP
Speaker 3: wide receiver thirty eight, way higher than that got Cadarious.
Speaker 1: I'd rather take a.
Speaker 3: Flyer on Sky More, Rashie Rice, basically all the other
Speaker 3: wide receivers he can get later later in the draft.
Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna buy the most expensive wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the other end of the AFC West,
Speaker 1: Las Vegas a bunch of moves offseason moves. Darren Waller
Speaker 1: traded to the Giants, and then they replaced him at
Speaker 1: the top of the second round with rookie Michael Mayer,
Speaker 1: who was wid widely expected to be taking the first round.
Speaker 1: They got him in the top of the second round.
Speaker 1: They signed Jimmy Garoppolo went foot surgery in March, but
Speaker 1: is expected to start. The team has the option of
Speaker 1: cutting him if he can't pass a physical, though, which
Speaker 1: would void his contract. If Garoppolo is cut, here's who
Speaker 1: you got left, Brian Hoyer or fourth round rookie Aidan
Speaker 1: O'Connell from Purdue.
Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah, that sounds like a Carson Wentz signing would
Speaker 3: be imminent.
Speaker 1: It probably it probably would, It probably would Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: or they just outright tank.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They signed free agent wide receiver Jacobe Myers, who is
Speaker 1: better than any of the Raiders receivers other than Davonte Adams.
Speaker 1: So there's that. Will this offense be better worse than last year? Well,
Speaker 1: they were twelfth in yards and twelfth in scoring last year,
Speaker 1: which is pretty darn good, better than I think most
Speaker 1: people thought. But this is gonna be worse and maybe
Speaker 1: a lot worse, And especially if Jimmy G can't go,
Speaker 1: or if Jimmy G's just off outside of San Francisco. Right,
Speaker 1: you know, San Francisco may have just made him look
Speaker 1: like a palatable NFL starter because he was dumped the
Speaker 1: ball off to all these talented guys. Maybe Jimmy G's
Speaker 1: awful Raiders made no meaningful moves to improve a woeful
Speaker 1: offensive line. Only Colton Miller appeared in the top sixty
Speaker 1: of PFF blocking ranks across all of their starters. On
Speaker 1: the offensive line from last year, and only two starters
Speaker 1: ranked in the top one hundred of blockers for Pro
Speaker 1: Football Focus. So a bad offensive line stays bad. There's
Speaker 1: not a lot to like here. This is an offense
Speaker 1: to avoid. The most underdrafted player is Jacoby Myers. Last
Speaker 1: year he was wide receiver twenty nine on a pretty
Speaker 1: bad passing offense. So he goes to another pretty bad
Speaker 1: passing offense, he's wide receiver fifty four.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love Myners. I think he's a great player.
Speaker 3: It was in a good spot in New England. Not
Speaker 3: a great spot here for him, but he's talented and
Speaker 3: he's been injured too, so that's what that's suppressed. His
Speaker 3: numbers as well, they're great. I love Myers.
Speaker 1: You know Mac Collin was He finished last year's wide
Speaker 1: receiver forty one, and Jacoby Myers is better than Mac Collins,
Speaker 1: who he replaces in Las Vegas. Meyers very guillotine friendly
Speaker 1: last year too, by the way, with just two games
Speaker 1: all season under nine Fantasy points. Super consistent last year.
Speaker 1: So Jacoby Myers is the most underdrafted player. The most
Speaker 1: overdrafted player. Conversely, Davante Adams, wide receiver eight twelfth pick overall.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of downside here, as we've as
Speaker 1: I've already outlined here. Last year with Derek Carr, Adams
Speaker 1: did a lot of his damage on longer passes. He
Speaker 1: led the league with nine touchdowns of more than twenty
Speaker 1: yards out. What's the one thing Jimmy Garoppolo for sure
Speaker 1: can't do pass deep? So you were Jimmy Garoppol's not
Speaker 1: slinging bombs to DeVante Adams, So I'm really nervous here.
Speaker 1: Adams is basically openly said he doesn't want to be
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. This is the rebuild is on. I
Speaker 1: don't like it. I'm out on DeVante Adams as the
Speaker 1: twelfth pick overall. Let's go to our next AFC West
Speaker 1: team and that is the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 3: Edinver Broncos off season moves that matter. Signed running back
Speaker 3: saman J p Ryan coming over from Cincinnati. Probably gonna
Speaker 3: be your weak one starter. We'll talk a little bit
Speaker 3: more about the running back situation in a bit. Denver
Speaker 3: also drafted wide receiver Marvin Mims. Some people are excited
Speaker 3: about him, including me. Tim Patrick should make his return.
Speaker 3: Blew out his knee in training camp last year, so
Speaker 3: kind of a crowded wide receiver room in Denver. But
Speaker 3: I think that that bodes well for Russell Wilson in company.
Speaker 3: I think this offense is gonna be better with Sean
Speaker 3: Payton as the head coach. One would think he could
Speaker 3: only get better. Kevin James playing Sean Payton could make
Speaker 3: this offense better. Compared to last year, it was just
Speaker 3: a total disaster across the board, starting with Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: So there's value every everywhere, right there is literally every
Speaker 1: Bronco feels like a value.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jerry Judy, he's got a premium on him. But
Speaker 3: I really like Courtland Sutton. He's going much later. But
Speaker 3: I'm a I'm gonna go with Russell Wilson. It's quarterback eighteen.
Speaker 3: If you're gonna wait on quarterback and just grab a
Speaker 3: couple towards the tail end of your draft, Russell Wilson
Speaker 3: quarterback eighteen.
Speaker 1: Hopefully.
Speaker 3: You know last year was probably it was a whirlwind
Speaker 3: for him.
Speaker 1: He was it was bad.
Speaker 3: It was it was a disaster. We don't have to
Speaker 3: revisit it. But he did close strong. He had a
Speaker 3: couple good games, allowed him to beat out his toilet
Speaker 3: totals with the farassing touchdowns, So quarterback eighteen with Sean
Speaker 3: Payton in town. Yeah, I'm buying Russell Wilson at that price,
Speaker 3: but who I am not buying the most overdrafted player
Speaker 3: by far to me, And it's not close as Javonte
Speaker 3: Williams going as running back twenty nine right now inside
Speaker 3: the top one hundred overall picks. It's a start on
Speaker 3: ir is imminent in my mind. And you know, if
Speaker 3: this season goes belly up, what's the rush bringing him back?
Speaker 3: His knee injury far worse than Breeze Hall's. They say, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's concern, there's this concern he could not play this year,
Speaker 3: and even when he does come back, the same goes
Speaker 3: for Brees Haul. They're not going to be the player
Speaker 3: you expect, not a.
Speaker 1: Year one, probably not. You know, only Adrian Peterson did
Speaker 1: it and a few others have done it. But it's
Speaker 1: it's you're more likely to get a JK. Dobbins season
Speaker 1: from last year who had a massive reconstruction and then
Speaker 1: he just limped his way through last year. That's the
Speaker 1: downside on Williams.
Speaker 3: Totally with you. So, yeah, that's an easy fade for
Speaker 3: me at that ring. At that point in the draft,
Speaker 3: you can grab p Ryan still a couple of rounds later,
Speaker 3: and I feel much better about that.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Los Angeles Chargers, a team I'm really
Speaker 1: optimistic about. Very few changes here. In the offseason. They
Speaker 1: drafted the kind of the air apparent to Keenan Allen,
Speaker 1: not stylistically at all, totally different guy, but TCU wide
Speaker 1: receiver Quintin Johnston. Once Allen retires eventually and probably goes
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame, the Chargers will have two big,
Speaker 1: physical receivers in Johnston and Mike Williams. They also drafted
Speaker 1: wide receiver Darius Davis, also from TCU, and he is
Speaker 1: stylistically like Keenan Allen. He's a long term dynasty stagh.
Speaker 1: If you're thinking about Keenan Allen's retirement and who's gonna
Speaker 1: fill all those slot reps, it might be Darius Davis.
Speaker 1: If you're in a bigger dynasty league, just keep an eye,
Speaker 1: keep an eye in that kid. Chargers made no notable
Speaker 1: improvements to its offensive line, despite finishing dead last in
Speaker 1: PFF run blocking rankings, but they do get Rashaun Slater
Speaker 1: back and after he had an injury filled season last year.
Speaker 1: This offense, I think it's gonna be a lot better,
Speaker 1: And it's just really this simple. Justin Herbert won't be
Speaker 1: languishing through multiple injuries that clearly affected him last year.
Speaker 1: He had the massive rib injury that he never looked
Speaker 1: the same after that rib injury, I think it was
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game. And then in the off season,
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert had had to have labrum surgery on his shoulder.
Speaker 1: I mean, the dude was just you know, he was
Speaker 1: playing so hurt last year. And then you add In Johnston,
Speaker 1: who should pay dividends immediately, first round wide receiver, and
Speaker 1: so I think this whole offense gets better and leading
Speaker 1: that leads right into my most under rafted player, Brian
Speaker 1: it's Justin Herbert. We love this guy. He is one
Speaker 1: of the five ish best quarterbacks in the NFL and
Speaker 1: maybe one of the three best best arms just on
Speaker 1: just straight arm talent. Justin Herbert's there. You add Quintin Johnson,
Speaker 1: You've got a healthy Keenan Allen at least for now.
Speaker 1: You got a healthy Mike Williams for now. Austin Eckler,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously that's hotter catches. So there's
Speaker 1: so many things that can come together for Justin Herbert
Speaker 1: the air bear to come right back. Do we have
Speaker 1: air bear on here, an, let's see. Nope, nope, no fantasy, no, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be You're gonna have to be
Speaker 1: the air bear. I don't have air Bear with me
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 3: Sorry if you said this. New offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kellen Moore's gonna bring competency to this offense that
Speaker 1: we have not seen in years.
Speaker 3: I love Gerald ever too, he's going way too late
Speaker 3: to tight end in my mind too, I think.
Speaker 1: That's a nice angle. Look what Kellen Morri's got in
Speaker 1: good production out of his tight ends throughout his time
Speaker 1: in Dallas as well.
Speaker 3: I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like anybody is particularly overdrafted. Even Austin
Speaker 1: Eckler is going off the board in the top five
Speaker 1: picks your draft. It feels totally appropriate. But I'll go
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen at wide receiver twenty fortieth overall. As I mentioned,
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career, but I think I'd rather get
Speaker 1: out a year early than a year late. On Keenan
Speaker 1: Allen because we're right at the bitter end and if
Speaker 1: he's going to have an Adam Feelin like drop off
Speaker 1: where you just can't separate anymore, then I think we
Speaker 1: got a problem. Yeah, So that's you know, that's the
Speaker 1: worry on Keenan Allen at wide receiver twenty. I don't
Speaker 1: feel like you're getting really a lot of value out
Speaker 1: of him. Let's turn our attention to the NFC West.
Speaker 1: We'll take a quick break, come back and talk through
Speaker 1: San Francisco, the Rams, the Seahawks, and the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Paul Charchi and Brian Johnson with you. You can
Speaker 1: follow us on Twitter at Paul Charchion and at b
Speaker 1: t x J. Also, if you don't know because you're
Speaker 1: listening to the Friday Show, we drop these fantasy football
Speaker 1: weekly micros on a regular basis a ton of fun,
Speaker 1: so you want to check those out on the non
Speaker 1: Friday days as well. Deep dive on one player. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the NFC West. Which team would you like
Speaker 1: to start with?
Speaker 3: Let's get the Cardinals out of the way. Okay, Arizona
Speaker 3: doesn't feel good, does it? No?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 3: Nothing but bad news here released Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 3: AJ Green also retired. Not that anyone's going to miss
Speaker 3: him really prime AJ Green though, Man he was something else,
Speaker 3: But yeah, that was a long long time ago. To
Speaker 3: somewhat replace Hopkins in Green, Arizona drafted wide receiver Michael
Speaker 3: Wilson in the third round, a guy to keep your
Speaker 3: eye on. But outside of that, not a ton of
Speaker 3: movement in Arizona.
Speaker 1: I thought they thought they go I thought they go
Speaker 1: running back this deep running back draft, but they didn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna roll with James Connor and Keyante Ingram
Speaker 3: at running back. Will the offense be better or worse
Speaker 3: than last year? There's kind of a lot to unpack
Speaker 3: here because last year Hopkins was suspended half the year,
Speaker 3: and then Kyler Murray got hurt and Mark Ease Brown
Speaker 3: was playing well, but then he like, they're never on
Speaker 3: the field at the same time. But now Hopkins has gone,
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray unlikely to start the season, So I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna say worse. Basically, Hopkins is not there. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: not a fun offense to target, to stack whatever however
Speaker 3: you want to call it. The most underdrafted player to me, though,
Speaker 3: is tight end Trey McBride going off the board as
Speaker 3: tight end twenty seven right now. I know zach Ertz
Speaker 3: is still there, but McBride as a rookie last year
Speaker 3: really started flash towards the end of the season.
Speaker 1: And you.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say he's better receiving option than Markuis Brown.
Speaker 3: But outside of that, I don't know. There's Rondell Moore, sure,
Speaker 3: but he's proven nothing. Basically, McBride look good and it's
Speaker 3: tight in twenty seven again if I'm well, we talked
Speaker 3: about Jolwanny Woods last week. These are just guys that
Speaker 3: all just grab two or three of them at the
Speaker 3: tail end of my draft if I'm not getting to
Speaker 3: Kelsey or a Mark Andrews or a TJ. Hockinson type.
Speaker 3: And I'm intrigued by McBride.
Speaker 1: Obviously, zach Ertz's status coming back off ACL is a
Speaker 1: huge factor. And he's as old real he is old.
Speaker 1: That's old fact.
Speaker 3: So I like McBride and I don't like Kyler Murray
Speaker 3: this year. Not that he's getting drafted as early as
Speaker 3: he was last year, but still a quarterback twenty two.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just he's not gonna start the
Speaker 3: season when he comes back, you know, he's coming off
Speaker 3: the ACL. He's essentially a running back who plays quarterback two.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it has a bad arm, but I
Speaker 3: don't think you're gonna get the rushing you want from
Speaker 3: him in a bad offense at quarterback twenty two. Yeah,
Speaker 3: if he hits late in the season, good for you,
Speaker 3: but there's just the risk reward. It's not there for me.
Speaker 3: So at quarterback twenty two, we were talking about you
Speaker 3: can get Russell Wilson right around the same range at
Speaker 3: quarterback eighteen a little earlier, but I'll take my chances elsewhere.
Speaker 3: So I'm off the Murray.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you. I like James Connor where
Speaker 1: he's going. Oh adp is I think he's around running
Speaker 1: back thirty. Just on ball parking that off the top
Speaker 1: of my head, and you get the you know, you
Speaker 1: get the guy who's gonna get you know, tons of
Speaker 1: carries in every game.
Speaker 3: Running back twenty eight, twenty eight. Thank you. Yeah, he's
Speaker 3: the injuries were concerned last year, but he knows.
Speaker 1: That all worked out. You know you're gonna get goal
Speaker 1: line carries. I mean, you know there's no competition for
Speaker 1: usage I like he'd be my most underdrafted cardinal. Let's
Speaker 1: go to San Francisco. The offseason moves that matter start
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo. They let walk. They brought in Sam
Speaker 1: Darnold for a three headed battle with Trey Lance and
Speaker 1: the presumed starter brock Perty, who looks increasingly like he's
Speaker 1: gonna be ready to go. Also of note, they lost
Speaker 1: elite right tackle Mike McGlinchey, a former first rounder and
Speaker 1: free agency. That hurts, and he's gonna be He's expected
Speaker 1: to be replaced by a twenty twenty fifth round pick
Speaker 1: named Colton mc kibbitts, who is barely played in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and that is a sizable downgrade on the offensive line.
Speaker 1: Also of note, team drafted kicker Jake Moody in the
Speaker 1: third round and they cut Robbie Gould, So yeah, that's
Speaker 1: you know, for those who are still playing with kickers.
Speaker 1: Jake Moody looks like a nice long term prospect. So
Speaker 1: the will this offense be better worse than that last year?
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be about the same because it's
Speaker 1: a Kyle Shanahan offense, which you just distribute the ball
Speaker 1: to your playmakers. And you let them go do special
Speaker 1: things Trey Lance would. If Trey Lance wins the job,
Speaker 1: it probably means it's because it's all come together for
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, because otherwise, if they just want like steady quarterbacking,
Speaker 1: brock perty is their guy. But if Trey Lance turns
Speaker 1: out like you can harness the big arm strength and
Speaker 1: the mobility and everything else, that would be some tremendous upside.
Speaker 1: But only if it all comes together and he starts
Speaker 1: starting at some point the most underdrafted player to me,
Speaker 1: and it's not close. Deebo Samuel going off the board
Speaker 1: wide receiver seventeen one, you're removed from being wide receiver two.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: In the NFL just one year. He's going off the
Speaker 1: board at seventeen, you know. And last year, remember he
Speaker 1: played most of the season hurt. He endured three quarterback
Speaker 1: switches in during the season. And I want to dispel
Speaker 1: the myth that Christian McCaffrey eats into Deebo Samuel's workload.
Speaker 1: Here's some stats for you. Let's break it down. Deebo
Speaker 1: Samuel averaged the exact same number of carries per game
Speaker 1: before and after the Christian McCaffrey trade, and his targets
Speaker 1: went down by just one half of one perception per
Speaker 1: game after Christian McCaffrey showed up, So really he's effectively
Speaker 1: unchanged before the Christian McCaffrey acquisition rushing and receiving. Because
Speaker 1: I hear that about Deebo Samuel, people try to validate
Speaker 1: why he would be wide receiver seventeen. That's crap. Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey's not affecting his usage. He remains Deebo Samuel remains
Speaker 1: the best receiver after after the catch period. End of story.
Speaker 1: Use your eyeballs or use these stats. He finished number
Speaker 1: one in yards after the catch, Brian. He was number
Speaker 1: one in yards after the catch on a per catch
Speaker 1: basis by two and a half yards over the next
Speaker 1: closest receiver.
Speaker 3: That's a lot. That'll sound like a lot, but it.
Speaker 1: Is two and a half yards in per catch. That
Speaker 1: adds up extra out of Deebo Samuel over the next
Speaker 1: closest player. He's that special after the catch. Debo Samuel
Speaker 1: Weeks Wide receiver seventeen is a travesty. The most overdrafted player.
Speaker 1: I think you have to go Christian McCaffrey at running
Speaker 1: back one overall, pick three and no other Niner really
Speaker 1: qualifies here, So I'm just gonna I'm picking the guy
Speaker 1: who's going first, you know. And I have no new
Speaker 1: insight that you don't already know on Christian McCaffrey. But
Speaker 1: a reminder, disaster seasons in two of the last three years.
Speaker 3: Sant disaster, Super Bowl aspirations, and generally you don't run
Speaker 3: your guy into the ground in that scenario, especially guy
Speaker 3: like McCaffrey. They want him for the long haul. So
Speaker 3: Elijah Mitchell is going to factor, whether you like it
Speaker 3: or not.
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks, they made some splashy draft picks this year
Speaker 3: on offense, wide receiver Jackson Smith and Jigba and running
Speaker 3: back Zach Sharbinet really muddies the water for the wide
Speaker 3: receivers and running backs. Seattle'll also drafted running back Kenny
Speaker 3: McIntosh in the later rounds, more of a pass catching
Speaker 3: specialist for Shad Penny now in Philadelphia. But really by
Speaker 3: Geno Smith is all I can say. This offense is
Speaker 3: going to be better with these additions, and he's going to.
Speaker 1: Be your most underdrafted player, right.
Speaker 3: He Yeah, I have to throw an honorable mention to
Speaker 3: Noah fan too. I like a lot his tight end
Speaker 3: thirty one. I just like a lot of these really cheap.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know a fan gives me that
Speaker 3: kind of He could take that Evan Ingram type leap.
Speaker 3: I mean he's got the first round pedigree.
Speaker 1: And would have happened already. Man, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It was first year in Seattle. Last year he was
Speaker 3: competing with more anyway, but it's it is Gino Smith
Speaker 3: top ten potential and he's going He was.
Speaker 1: Top ten last year, he was in seventh last year.
Speaker 3: In total points, he was top five. He's gonna be
Speaker 3: played every.
Speaker 1: Game, that's right, and uh going off the board at
Speaker 1: quarterback seventeen right now, it's absurd.
Speaker 3: And they added that the number one wide receiver in
Speaker 3: the draft, and Sharbone is gonna help that offense. Tons,
Speaker 3: So yeah, love Gino Smith. Way underdrafted overdrafted to me
Speaker 3: is Kenneth Walker obviously not a kill shot, but when
Speaker 3: they drafted Sharbonay just brutal for both of them, but
Speaker 3: more so him RB fifteen. Right now, Walker is a
Speaker 3: great player. He was explosive last year, but this is
Speaker 3: gonna be a good offense. So he's gonna get his
Speaker 3: and Charbona is gonna get his as well, and Charbonay is.
Speaker 1: Built more built for the line.
Speaker 3: So I'm taking charbon Ay. If I got to pick one,
Speaker 3: I'm taking Charbona fifty picks later than where Kenneth Walker
Speaker 3: is going. So Walker overdrafted by me right now. Unfortunately
Speaker 3: I kept him in a woman in one keeper league.
Speaker 3: I was so excited about it. Now it's like, yeah, crap,
Speaker 3: I got to keep Kenneth Walker for a yeah, head
Speaker 3: scratching move, but for the offense as a whole, it's
Speaker 3: gonna be pretty exciting times.
Speaker 1: Yes, with sharbon A and Walker, you're never gonna know
Speaker 1: going into any game. Is this gonna be the game
Speaker 1: where my guy scores twice and has the big game,
Speaker 1: or is it gonna be the other guys big game?
Speaker 1: And I get nothing?
Speaker 3: And Walker's not tough that much. He's not a better
Speaker 3: pass catcher than sharbon Ay. They basically equal there. And
Speaker 3: as I said, they signed, they drafted Kenny McIntosh, who
Speaker 3: I think we'll see a fair amount of third down
Speaker 3: work on the longer third down. So yeah, I'm out
Speaker 3: on Walker at that DV.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Rams is not a good there's
Speaker 1: not a good offense. One of the league's worst offensive lines.
Speaker 1: Added to utility linemen Steve Avia with their first pick
Speaker 1: of the draft, and Alan Robinson was traded away. They
Speaker 1: didn't replace him with anybody of note. And really, the
Speaker 1: offense can only get better from what it was last
Speaker 1: year because it was so bad. Cam Akers took three
Speaker 1: months to get right coming off the Achilles. He's back,
Speaker 1: they get Matthew Stafford back, they get Cooper Cup back,
Speaker 1: so obviously the offense is going to be better. The
Speaker 1: most underdrafted player for the Rams by ADP how about
Speaker 1: sixth round rookie Zach Evans. The I think obvious and
Speaker 1: only apparent backup to cam Akers going off the board
Speaker 1: to pick two hundred and two running back sixty four.
Speaker 1: And yes, Acres looked great in December, but he looked
Speaker 1: awful in the three months preceding it. And if Acres
Speaker 1: regresses or he gets hurt, likely Zach Evans steps in.
Speaker 1: Zach Evans had a career average of three and a
Speaker 1: half yards per play, which ranked second best among the
Speaker 1: incoming rookie running back class. So you know, maybe Zach
Speaker 1: Evans is the is the sneaky player. When there aren't
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that I want from the Rams,
Speaker 1: the most overdrafted player is honestly nobody. I expect Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup to have a full recovery here. If I had
Speaker 1: to pick just a name for most overdrafted player, I'll
Speaker 1: take Tyler Higbee tight end fourteen because he's never proven
Speaker 1: to be a reliable fantasy producer. And I'll roll the
Speaker 1: dice on Jolhnnie Woods.
Speaker 3: Sure, Yeah, that's my guy. Pukah Nakua is getting a
Speaker 3: little steam is eat rookie wide or receiver?
Speaker 1: Well, there's gonna be an There's gonna be opportunities out
Speaker 1: opposite Cooper companies. Nobody else has worked out. Van Jefferson's
Speaker 1: been a pretty bitter disappointment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just the guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure. Thank you for listening, everybody.
Speaker 1: We'll be back next week as we break down our
Speaker 1: final set of teams. That would be the North right, well,
Speaker 1: the AFC and NFC North coming up next week. Thanks
