Speaker 1: just call me franchise. He's the franchise. And then to

19
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: my right here is the wide receiver whisperer, Matt Boy,

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: Young boy Harmon. How you doing what's good Man. I

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: hate that that is on this podcast. JJ literally ruined

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: my life with that. It is a thing. That's not

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: hyperbole at all. It is not hyperboly. That is absolutely

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: a thing. Anyway, we got plenty to talk about on

25
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: this podcast. I'm gonna go through some of what happened

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: last night, the first actual night of preseason football. We

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: we got it delate. We thought we were gonna actually

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: have preseason football on Sunday. That didn't happen. We had

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: a lot of it on Thursday nights. So we're gonna

30
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: talk about some of that, and then we have our

31
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: a f C North preview. Of course, we're gonna have

32
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: some more entrance into the fan league's announced today, and

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: then we'll do daily dabs and get out of here.

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: But plenty to talk about, so let's get into it.

35
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: Starting with some news the camera highlights in the world

36
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: of sport, breaking breaking news, breaking, continue to follow breaking news,

37
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: How's your wife? We will start in San Diego, where

38
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: a Fantasy stronghold favorite, Stevie Johnson, is out for the year.

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: We heard the news last week about the knee injury.

40
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: Had to have surgery on a torn meniscus and unfortunately

41
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: we will not see Stevie Johnson wearing the bolt on

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: the side of his helmet this season for the San

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: Diego Chargers. So it brings up the question who's next.

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, Travis Benjamin comes in and was expected

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: to kind of make an impact anyway, does this does

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: this make a bigger impact for him? Or is there

47
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: somebody else we should be keeping an eye on. Oh,

48
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: you're the wide receiver, guys, I guess I should ask

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: you just wrote he wrote a whole piece on this

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: offense too before. Yeah, that was really I did. I

51
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: did kind of say that they were a top five

52
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: wide receiver cord and then one of their more important

53
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: wide receivers gets hurt. That's great, lovely. Um. I think

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: that this has a two pronged effect. One, I think

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: this means just even more guaranteed targets for Keenan Allen

56
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: because those two kind of win on the field in

57
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: the same way. Um. But the real sleeper here is

58
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: Tyrolle Williams. He's a guy that's gotten a lot of

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: buzz from Chargers camp. He was really productive at in

60
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: college and I think his Western Oregon he broke a

61
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: lot of school records. He was incredibly athletic, over over

62
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: eighty percentile in UH in his Spark score, which measures

63
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: workout athleticism. So he's a guy that's really intriguing. But

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: also you know, he's kind of more in that deep

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: threat mold, a guy that can win down the field,

66
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: and that's what Travis Benjamin will really do. So I

67
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: think just more of those short area possession targets will

68
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: go to Keenan Allen. Now does this impact We talked

69
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: about rookie tight ends and never really doing much and

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: that that has generally been the trend. There's a group

71
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: of rookie wide receiver rookie tight ends this year that

72
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: we kind of talked about the other day. They were

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: all mildly excited about. One of them is Hunter Henry

74
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: down there in San Diego. Obviously, Antonio Gates is still

75
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: the man when he comes to that position. But I

76
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: don't know, does this potentially, I mean I can see

77
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: the charges running some two tight end sets this year.

78
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: Maybe getting Hunter Henry on the field is that move

79
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: tight end? I mean I might am I crazy for

80
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: thinking that right now? Maybe a little crazy? Alright? Sweet uh,

81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: they just have they have so many other guys there too.

82
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: I think this like last year we saw when all

83
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: of their wide receivers died as well. Uh, Danny Wood

84
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: had led the team in targets and receptions. Because he's

85
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: a guy that can work out of the backfield. They'll

86
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: go and put him in the slot because he's a

87
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: match up as he's a mismatch against linebackers there. So

88
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: I I mean, this could be a slight uptick for

89
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry, not to the point I think where he's

90
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: going to be draft relevant or anything. Like Harmon said,

91
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: this is gonna be more guarantee targets for Keenan Allen,

92
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: and then I would think Danny woodhead Antonio Gates also

93
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: pick up some of that slack. Uh. There we go.

94
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Any any other news anything worth talking about in San Diego?

95
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean, any other chart changes you see? I mean,

96
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 1: can I can I use this to fuel the Melvin

97
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: Gordon hype train a little bit more? I don't see

98
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: how you could do that? All right? Probably not. Look, man,

99
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying. All right, let's get to the preseason. Let's

100
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: get to the preseason. There were a number of games,

101
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: uh that happened last night. In fact, there were six

102
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: of them that were played last night across the National

103
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: Football League, and we're just going around the horn here.

104
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: I mean, what, Alex, start with you the biggest takeaway,

105
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: the biggest thing you saw that excited you, disappointed you,

106
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: what have you from last night? Well, there was a

107
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: lot of excitement in the Ravens backfield because we got

108
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: to see Terence West and he looked good. We got

109
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: to see Kenneth Dixon and he looked good against Buck

110
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: guys that aren't gonna make shut up Buck Allen or

111
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And uh, the takeaways that this backfield still

112
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: a mess right now, there could be fantasy production to

113
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: mine from it. We saw some saw a couple of

114
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: guys flash. We saw you know, they looked good, but

115
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: right now they're splitting up the carries. Terrence West had

116
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: ten touches, Kenneth Dixon had nine, and Buck Allen had seven.

117
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: So and Justin Forcett didn't even play because he's still

118
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: coming back from injuries. So for now I'm staying away

119
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: from this backfield. I mean, except for like Terence West,

120
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: Dart throws in MFL tens, but it's definitely a position group.

121
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to watch with a lot of

122
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: interest in the preseason to see if anybody emerges as

123
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: the true number one threat. Uh, franchise anything really blow

124
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: you away last night? Uh, just a couple of nice

125
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver performances. Alan Robinson had a nice day. Michael

126
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Thomas rookie and New Orleans had some amazing catches, which

127
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: is a good sign, even though there's a lot of

128
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: mouse to feed there. I like seeing him do well. Um,

129
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: and Malcolm Mitchell in New England was doing well until

130
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: he hurt his elbow. But I guess it's a little

131
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: less serious than originally thought, which is a good sign.

132
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: But I guess the reporters he'll be out four weeks,

133
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: which is kind of h for a rookie. That's not good. Parliament.

134
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling I keep trying to invite you onto the

135
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan bandwagon, and you keep refusing my invitation. As

136
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: as a kind hearted soul, I'm going to extend the

137
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: invitation to you once again and and hopefully one of

138
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: these times you you decided to take it, well, let

139
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: me send it right back to you. For one just

140
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: just on Chris Hogan. I just don't understand, Like, what

141
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: is the appeal here. At at best, if everything is right,

142
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: he's like the fifth receiving option behind Gronk, Martellis, Bennett,

143
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, and Dion Lewis. So then like that's the

144
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: fifth spot in the pecking order this open and yeah,

145
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: some of those guys have injury questions and he could

146
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: be thrust into a bigger role. It on a week

147
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: to week perspective, You're not gonna ever want to You're

148
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: literally never gonna tell yourself a story where he's going

149
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: to be in your lineup or even really you want

150
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: him as your wide receiver five whatever, So enough of that.

151
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: Stop stop inviting me. I'm not coming to your party. Uh.

152
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: But as far as preseason football, last night, man, it

153
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: was it was awesome. I gotta say I went on

154
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: a run after the game, and uh, I was like,

155
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't even think I actually got any exercise because

156
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: I was just like gliding through the neighbor and so

157
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: exciting to have it back. But yeah, the Malcolm Mitchell

158
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: thing was disappointed because he looks like a player that

159
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: could get involved right away in that offense, and unfortunately

160
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: this elbow injuries sounds like it's gonna keep m out

161
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: four weeks. But um, yeah, a lot of good a

162
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: lot of good takeaways last night. I I we'll talk

163
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: about Baltimore's backfield more when when we talked about them

164
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: later spoiler alert, Yeah, we're we're gonna be talking about

165
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: the teams of the a f C North, So we'll

166
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: get into the Ravens a little bit. For me, I

167
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: took a look at the Broncos a little bit last night,

168
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I know, a lot of the talk

169
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: was about Mark Sanchez and the fact that he was

170
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: kind of a roller coaster, but that that's who Mark

171
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: Sanchez is. I mean, we know that by now. But

172
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: it I really took away from the Broncos is they

173
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: are going to be kind of an old school smash mouth,

174
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: almost like an old Jim harbought team, where the're gonna

175
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: play really good defense and they're gonna run the football.

176
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: And we saw I mean C. J. Anderson only had

177
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: two carries, but you know, two carries for eight yards whatever.

178
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: We saw a lot of Capri bibs later in the game,

179
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: and he looked decent for you know, whatever that's worth.

180
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: But I just it just kind of reinforces to me

181
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: what I expect from this team that they are going

182
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: to be a smash mouth, grinded out team. And if

183
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: they ever get into a situation where Mark Sanchez or

184
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon or Paxton Lynch or whoever it is playing quarterback,

185
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: if they've got to drop back and throw the ball

186
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: forty five times, that means things have gone terribly wrong

187
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: for this group. So yeah, that's a good bump for c. J.

188
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: Anderson there with how much they're gonna want to run

189
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: and in the backup discussion for him, I know a

190
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: lot of people are high on DeVante Booker, but Ronnie

191
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: Hillman still being the veteran there, got more carries ahead

192
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: of him. And speaking of backfield splits, one other interesting

193
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: one that came up was in Jacksonville because we saw

194
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: t J. Yelton was looking pretty good between the twenties

195
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: and then I soon as I got down here the

196
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: red zone, Chris Ivory came trotting in that story. The yeah,

197
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: their prize acquisition in free agency, but it speaks to

198
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: also because they were so unsuccessful last year in the

199
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: red zone. I tweeted this out during the game, but

200
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: they had Oh and I just screwed up my Twitter

201
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: account here. That's not what I wanted. I don't want

202
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: settings right now. You guys don't care about that. But

203
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: so uh last year in the red zone they had

204
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: forty four attempts and only scored two touchdowns. And Ivory

205
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: came in this game and ran it three times, gatined

206
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: positive yards and two of them and scored once. So

207
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: that's that's why they brought him in. It looks like

208
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: and we'll have to see in the coming games if

209
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: that trend, for lack of a better word, bears out,

210
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: but it seems like it could be a pretty even split,

211
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: and maybe we don't have to be as scared of

212
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: drafting both of these backs and fantasy as we have

213
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: been so far this offseason. UM, real quick before we

214
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: move on to the a f C North teams. Uh

215
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: we I know we were all sitting around when the

216
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: games first kicked off and watching a little bit of

217
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: the Bucks game. Um, Doug Martin five carries thirteen yards?

218
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: Anything really of no to take away from that or

219
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: from anything in that In that bunking Buccaneers game, I

220
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: think Martin looked good. He looked nice, YEA. The one

221
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: thing here, Charles Sims, I think he like had his

222
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: ankle wrapped up a couple of days ago from camp,

223
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: so he didn't get any snaps or anything. We saw

224
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: a lot of Mike James seven carries three yards, also

225
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: had a catch for twice. Six. Yeah, from what I've

226
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: seen from Doug, what I saw from Doug Martin last night,

227
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: it's it's encouraging. He looks like the same guy he

228
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: was last year, and they're going to give him the

229
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: ball a lot and let's go Doug Martin and Ryan

230
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: Matthews too in that same game. I mean it was early,

231
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: a couple of carries, but Matthews was showing the same

232
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: kind of ability that he had last year, where he

233
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: could plant his foot and get up field quickly and

234
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: showed he showed good vision behind the line, a little

235
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: bit of power back there, a little bit of power

236
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: and dragged a couple of people in the end zone there. So, uh,

237
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: Matthews is one of those one of those good guys.

238
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously there's a lot of inherent injury risk

239
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: with him, given his history, but if you start out

240
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: with a lot of wide receivers and are looking for

241
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: somebody that's gonna be a borderline featured running back in

242
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: their offense. Ryan Matthews a great guy to target in

243
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: that fourth to sixth round range. So there are ten

244
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: more games to be played all across the weekend. Uh

245
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: get started at seven o'clock Eastern here on Friday nights.

246
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: Of course, you can see some of those games on

247
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: the you know, actually some point you can probably see

248
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: all those games. Oh yeah network, just set your DVR

249
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: to record like all of the NFL on NFL Network

250
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: before the preseason is over. So certainly keep an eye

251
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: on that. And actually, can we used to you know,

252
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: plug the game pass as well. Yeah, we we all have.

253
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: We all have it, thank obviously because we work here.

254
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: But it's a it's a it's a frustrating product at

255
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: times because it's trying to do a lot. But it

256
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: also is super super useful. If you get game passed,

257
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: you can watch the preseason games live, you can get

258
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: coaches film, you can get everything. All the games are

259
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: in there. It's a super super useful tool for fantasy

260
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,119
Speaker 1: players and just football die And I would say absolutely.

261
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, the the condensed games are it's

262
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: nice to be able to sit and watch a game,

263
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: an entire game, in half an hour. You know, they

264
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: cut out all the between play stuff so you don't

265
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: have to worry about that. It's just play after play.

266
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: So if you are watching for certain things, the condensed

267
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: games are an absolute life. And while we're plugging stuff,

00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: onto the a f C. North. I'll tell you onto Cincinnati,

281
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: but we're starting in Baltimore, so we'll start with the Ravens.

282
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. We know he's elite. That's already been decided.

283
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: We're talking about fantasy though, is he will start with

284
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: you franchise because these are your you know, your your

285
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: hated rivals in the a f C. North, the Baltimore Ravens,

286
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: Um Flacco, you're taking a shot at him in the

287
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: late rounds and that's something you look it up, you're

288
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: looking for. Probably not, No, there are at least twelve

289
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks I have ranked ahead of him. Um. The

290
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: other thing is he's coming off in a c L tear.

291
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: The other thing is like the talent he has, his

292
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: weapons are not what I would call dangerous. So he

293
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: just slandered your own son. Well, all right, camar Akin,

294
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: I like camar Akin. But other than that, Brashad Perriman

295
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: hasn't still played in a preseason game yet. He's still

296
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: coming off a knee injury. Mike Wallace is old. Who

297
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: else is Steve Smith again? Steve Smith. I don't think

298
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: Steve Smith is going to make it back. Maybe he will,

299
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: but if he does, he's not going to be as

300
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: effective as he was to being a limited role out

301
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: of Yeah, and like I I don't know, I'm just

302
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: not pumped up about the Ravens offense this year Man,

303
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: So I'm not taking a chance on Flacco. If I

304
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: can make the case for a Flacco though, I would

305
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: say that that if there's going to be a lot

306
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: of volume, they're the lowest that Mark Trustman's offenses ever

307
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: ranked in terms of past attempts is sixteenth in the

308
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: NFL in two thousand thirteen with Shaka Ago, and that

309
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: was on just a much more functional team. I could see.

310
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: I could see the Ravens pushing. I mean, they were

311
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: number one in past attempts last year, and of course

312
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: they went through a lot of quarterbacks after Flacco got hurt,

313
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: but I could see them pushing the top five again,

314
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: just because this defense is not nearly what it used

315
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: to be. They're going to be in past heavy game

316
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: scripts and it can be a little tricky chasing volume

317
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: over efficiency at the quarterback position. But you know, for

318
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: probably not a top twelve quarterback, but certainly as a

319
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: DFS guy, if you play in two quarterback leagues or

320
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: just a streamer one week, I think they're gonna be

321
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: plenty of times where Flacco makes makes good for your

322
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: line up. And he was not nearly as bad as

323
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: he was builed last year. He just had two horrific

324
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: games against Denver and Pittsburgh on Thursday night. But other

325
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: than it's pretty solid. No, I agree. I was gonna

326
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: peg him as more of a streaming candidate personally, Um,

327
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: he's not like there are other quarterbacks i'd rather take

328
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: my high upside late round shots at. But Blackhaws a

329
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: guy I will be keeping an eye on in the

330
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: waiver wire if he gets hot or one of my

331
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: other picks struggles. He is my second or he's my

332
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: most owned quarterback in the NFL. Tends though, because he

333
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: goes so cheap, and I do think he has high

334
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: weekly upside. But he's not the first quarterback you're taking. No,

335
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: he's normally almost always the second. So our consensus ranked

336
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: two quarterback. You know, as you know, peek behind the

337
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: curtain a little bit on our rundown, you know, as

338
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: Alex puts this thing together, it says, you know, the

339
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: questions here for the Ravens, flaccle light around QB, we're taking.

340
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: Who else is all in on Aiken Wallace's late round targets,

341
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: what the hell with his backfield? Anyone touching a tight

342
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: end here? I would like to take those last three

343
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: questions and just condense them down into one and just

344
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: say who is the who is the one player on

345
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: this roster? Because they have so much depth and so

346
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: much confusion at just about all the skill positions. If

347
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: you have to pick one player on this roster that

348
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: you actually had confidence in to put on your fantasy team,

349
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: who would it be? Can we take camar Akin out

350
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: of this equation, though, because I think we're all pretty confident, right,

351
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: So one one player not named Camarin, then Terence West alright,

352
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: franchise I would say, justin for sett I was gonna

353
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: say Mike Wallace or former Rave or just don't draft

354
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: anyone on this team. And that's kind of what I guess.

355
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: That's where I'm going with this, is that I would

356
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: feel better if Jim Harbaw just came out and said,

357
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: screw you in your fantasy team. We're gonna run thirty

358
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: seven guys. Sorry, John Harbaugh, one of those hardballs. You know,

359
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm all same, same same guys, having his basically same person.

360
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: He's having his brother delivered deliver you know exactly he

361
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: colled him to drop the hammer on stuff. But you know,

362
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: if if I just I guess I look at all

363
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: these position groups and there's so much uncertainty. I mean,

364
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: I know, Terrence West looked really good last night, and

365
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: and he certainly appears to be turning a corner in

366
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: his career. But there is still justin for set, and

367
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: there is Kim Dixon, and there is Buck Allen, and

368
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: you know they've got what three or four tight ends.

369
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: We went through all the wide receivers. I guess I

370
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: I know there's no such thing as a sure thing

371
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: and fantasy football, but this just seems like too much

372
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: uncertainty for me to wait into these writers. I was

373
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: just gonna jump in on Wallace quick because while like

374
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: you said, and quick jump back on Aken be his

375
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: uh in case somebody's listening for the first time and

376
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: hasn't heard us wax philosophic about Aken. He was very

377
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: quietly effective and efficient last year when everybody else on

378
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: this team was injured. His pace over the last eight

379
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: games would have put him on pace for a hundred catches,

380
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: about a thousand yards and eight touchdowns. So he's going

381
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: to be that that short yardage chain mover guy that

382
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: works in intermediate space. But Wallace is that is the

383
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: is the Tory Smith type of player that Joe Flacco

384
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: kind of needs in this offense where you can take

385
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: the top off and you can do those those moonshots too.

386
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: And I'll take a stab at Wallace in the later

387
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: rounds because he's also only like two years removed from

388
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: a solid season in Miami where he had nine or

389
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. I know it's ages ago, but when you

390
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: actually look at it, like, oh wow, that was legitimately

391
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: like two years ago. So he's still got some talent.

392
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: He's only thirty. He's not like pushing thirty seven like

393
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: Steve Smith is. So I'm okay with Wallace as a

394
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: potential number one option in a and also potential high

395
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: volume passing offense. Is my wide receiver four or five

396
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: the backfield, though, while I like so many of these

397
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: players in it, I don't know that I'm gonna be

398
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: touching it. Um. I think Aiken is a pretty like

399
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: he's a locked in ninth round pick to me. Yeah,

400
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: I think he's perfect in that range. I'm writing about

401
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: receivers that could see a Hunter and twenty targets that

402
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: would kind of surprise us. I think he's the top

403
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: of that list, and he's a good player. He I

404
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: wrote Reception Perception on him, and he's like legitimately did

405
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: break out last year. I think he'll be the best

406
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: receiver on there, but the backfield. This is how I

407
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: see it playing out, and anybody can feel free to

408
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: disagree with me. Um, I honestly think that justin forts,

409
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good candidate to get cut out right,

410
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: which which really amazing considering how good he was just

411
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years. He was a top he was

412
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: a top a running back last or not last two

413
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: years or before that. But he's not that good of

414
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: a receiver. I think Buck Allen is locked into that

415
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: role as as the past catching back. He caught a

416
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: touchdown last night. He's he's not like dynamic in the

417
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: passing game, but he's solid. He's got good hands and

418
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: and those big backs out in space can make can

419
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: make pretty good Hey. They're not obviously not going to

420
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: cut Kenneth Dixon, of course, but I would wonder if

421
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: Kenneth Dixon starts taking more of that work though he's

422
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: so sure handed too. He is, but I think he's

423
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: gonna come along slowly because he started off. But if

424
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: he has a dynamic preseason like he's He's the one

425
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: that I think of all these guys could be their

426
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: feature back, but he's still a fourth round rookie. Like

427
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: it just might come along slowly. But I mean, honestly,

428
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: Terence West is building the drumbeat that we look for

429
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: in the preseason. It started in mini camps with though

430
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: he's in the best shape of his life, which we

431
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: write off, but it means something, and he's getting positive

432
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: buzz there. Then all the beat writers are you know

433
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: in lockstep that he looks great in training camp, the

434
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: best player on the team, and then you know he

435
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: comes out runs hard. In the preseason. I don't see

436
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: why they wouldn't give him at least early down work

437
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: and in the go and in the red zone. I mean,

438
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: he scored two TVs last night. Like I think, if

439
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: you're drafting a zero running back team or just even

440
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: going wide receiver heavy, Terence West is kind of the

441
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: ideal guy that you can pluck into late rounds and

442
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: toss out there in the first couple of weeks, even

443
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: if Dixon ends up taking his job. The one thing

444
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: I will say about the Ravens and and you know,

445
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: looking around and I think I think a lot of

446
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: people feel sort of how we do about this confusion

447
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: in the backfield. It is, I think created a situation

448
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: where all these guys have really reasonable draft prices. I mean,

449
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing about Terrence West where that has kind

450
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: of gotten me on board with him, knowing that you're

451
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: getting him almost for free at this point at the

452
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: back end of your draft, and so if it doesn't

453
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: work out, you put him on waivers and you haven't

454
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: really lost a whole lot of anything. But if it

455
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: does work out, then you've got a great gym there

456
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: on your hands. I don't agree with throwing Justin Forcett

457
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: to the wind, though. I think he's going to get

458
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: the shot to be the starter. Maybe he loses the

459
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: job once the season starts to someone else, but I

460
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: think he's going to get every chance to get that start.

461
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. If Justin Forcett does get cut, he'll

462
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: get scooped up at a heartbeat, somebody, somebody will give

463
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: him a chance, or or any of these other guys

464
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: for that for that, Yeah, absolutely, onto Cincinnati, Cincinnati to Cincinnati,

465
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: all right, So a J Green first round or not? Hell? Yeah, yes,

466
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: top five pick in top five now, yeah, I think

467
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: he's the one. I think he's the one point oh

468
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: four clearly, I've held that position for a while. I

469
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: think he's gonna push for a hundred seventy targets, but

470
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: at worst he'll get back into the hunter fifty sixty

471
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: range where he was earlier in his career, when he

472
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: was locked in, you know, top five fantasy receiver. And

473
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: I mean I think he had we we know he's great,

474
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: we know he's a great player. But I think the

475
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: volume will be there. And I know a lot of

476
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: people are kind of hung up on the idea that

477
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: he's followed a week to week and that's certainly been

478
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: the case the last couple of years when there were

479
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: so many talented players on the offense. Last year and

480
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: then the year before he was hurt a lot. But

481
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: I think the week to week consistency is going to

482
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: be there this year. Um all right. I mean, look,

483
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: I I like Adan Green, I love his talent, and

484
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: I guess is it is it that I feel like

485
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: a lot of people are sort of I won't say

486
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: luke warm on him, but he doesn't. He never gets mentioned,

487
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: obviously in the same breath as you know Antonio Brown

488
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: O B J. Julio Jones. He's kind of in that

489
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: next group with you know, the Dez Bryant's, the Allen Robinson's,

490
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: that group, the DeAndre Hopkins. Um is it is it

491
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: fear of Andy Dalton or we or is is it

492
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: fear of a planet that has kind of gotten everybody

493
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: a little bit antsy on A J. Green? Is that

494
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 1: what it is? I think it might be what happened

495
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: last year? He had some weeks where you just couldn't

496
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: start him. He had a lot of like four for

497
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: sixty sort of like just yeah weeks. Yeah, I think

498
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: people are turned off by that. But I mean, you know,

499
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: but things have changed, you know, things have changed drastically

500
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: in the song Well yeah, but I mean on the surface,

501
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: those changes are seemingly for the worst. I mean there's

502
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: no Mohammed Sanu, there's no Marvin Jones, no Tyler Eifford

503
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: for who knows how long. I mean, so you know,

504
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: there there's I guess there's changes, but they're not necessarily

505
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: what I immediately positive. What I would say with those

506
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: changes and how they're positive for A. J. Green though,

507
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: is that one he's tied to? Who's Andy Dalton? Who

508
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: has actually been despite the narratives around him as steadily

509
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: improving quarterback over the last couple of years, and even

510
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: though Hugh Jackson has gone Dalton's quarterback coach for his

511
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: entire career is now his offensive coordinator, there's still consistency,

512
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: so that's going to help him out. He's so A J.

513
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Greens conceivably gonna be getting more targets from a more

514
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: efficient quarterback. Our friend Pat Thorman at Pro Football for

515
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: because it tweeted this out um back in June that

516
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: when Dalton was the overall QB four and his fantasy

517
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: points per drop back were point four nine, which ranked

518
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: twelfth in the league. But last year, before he got injured,

519
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: I think he was still the QB four QB five,

520
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: his fantasy points per drop back were point five nine,

521
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: tied for the third best in the league. He has

522
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: been getting better and in a lot of other stats

523
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: to yards per tempt and things like that. So I'm

524
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm all in on A J. Green too. I think

525
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: he's I wasn't as high as Harmon was early on him,

526
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: but I definitely consider him a first round pick now.

527
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: And I also think we're kind of undervaluing Andy Dalton,

528
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: Like he was. He was great in fantasy last year

529
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: before he got injured. And I don't know if it's

530
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: because he's a ginger or whatever that people now that

531
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: he got injured are just kind of off of him.

532
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: But man, he's one of those guys too, were in

533
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: the later rounds. It's not going to be the sexiest

534
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: pick when you make it in your draft, but when

535
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: when Dalton's putting up eighteen twenty points for you on

536
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: a weekly basis, you'll be gravy. Is he a QB one?

537
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no, just on the fringe, on the

538
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: high end QB two, just because I think the last

539
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: time we saw him with substandard personnel and when his

540
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: weapons were hurt, he was the quarterback. He was a

541
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: quarterback twenty three and I don't think he's going to

542
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: be cratered down to there again because they still have

543
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: some decent players around him, but without Marvin Jones, who

544
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: I think Marvin Jones is a difference maker and I

545
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: think that matters. And if Tyler Eiffort is dinged up

546
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: to I don't know that he's going to be putting

547
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: up the fantasy outport that he was last This is

548
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: this I also say that hoping Tyler effort doesn't suffer

549
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: any other setbacks, like Dalton might get off to a

550
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: slow start, but when he has a j green and

551
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: effort and Gio Bernard, I think he'll be that's more

552
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: than enough to help him keep the boat afloat. You

553
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: mentioned Geo Bernard, so that that begs the next question,

554
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: what to do about this back I guess the I

555
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: guess more pointedly what to do about Jeremy Hill, because

556
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: I think we all are in agreement that Jeo Bernard

557
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: is going to be pretty good this year, and I

558
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: think that's a guy that a lot of people are targeting.

559
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: So I guess the question is how do we feel

560
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 1: about Jeremy Hill? Because he wasn't really great. He had

561
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: double digit touchdowns, but that is not necessarily indicative of

562
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: how he played last year. Yeah, I just profiled this

563
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: backfield for the website My Running Back Duo's series here,

564
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: and there's I don't know if I could find a

565
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: reason why Jeremy Hill was so inefficient last year other

566
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: than as we've talked about, like he just didn't seem

567
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: confident he was it was in his head. He was

568
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: trying to do too much he was trying to rip

569
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,239
Speaker 1: off that big run on every play and that's not

570
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: how you that's not how you chip away at yardage.

571
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: Is his yardage total was fewer than eight hundred rushing

572
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: yards and that's horrible. But he had eleven touchdowns. And

573
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: I put in this article, um uh, Geo Bernard and

574
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill are the best buy statistically, the best duo

575
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: running back duo in the NFL over the last two years.

576
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: And I got a lot of heat for that on Twitter,

577
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: people like, what about leve Bell and D'Angelo Williams, what

578
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: about what another backfield? And if you look at the

579
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: stats the Jeremy Hill and Geo Bernard since two thousand four,

580
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: the duo ranks first in total carries, first in total

581
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: rushing yards combined, first in rushing touchdowns combined, and first

582
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: in scrimmage yards combined. So they are one of the

583
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: most productive backfields in the NFL, whether you like it

584
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: or not. And Jeremy Hill is going in like the

585
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth round right now, and he's a candidate

586
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: for the early down work. Again, his role isn't gonna change,

587
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get all the goal line touches and

588
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: I think that's a huge value. He could provide RB

589
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: one upside and you can get him in the fourth

590
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: or fifth round. I read your piece and I thought

591
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: it was really good and convincing a case on both

592
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: of them and what they are. And I think the

593
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: way you profile Geo Bernard was just like a very

594
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: consistent week two week option. And I was listening to

595
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 1: the Living the Stream podcast last night and they made

596
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: a good point about and that's with j J. Zacharies

597
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: and Denny Carter. They made a good point that, like,

598
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, everybody wants to tweet out a picture of

599
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: their roster and it'd be like the sexiest thing ever.

600
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: And everybody's got running back one upside, and Jeo Bernard

601
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: might not have that in his range of outcomes. If

602
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill doesn't get hurt, but he's a good week

603
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: to week floor play and you you outlined a good

604
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: reason for that in your article. Um, but then he

605
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: does have that upside that if Hill got hurt, he

606
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: would already have the passing game role and then would

607
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: get early down work. But your your article also maybe

608
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: just more intrigued with Jeremy Hill because I see him

609
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: fall to the sixth rounds sometimes, yeah, you can get

610
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: him late. I think that there's a pretty good chance

611
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: that with some of the passing game weapons leaving that

612
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: the offense becomes more of a of a pounded out offense,

613
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: and that would lead to Jeremy Hill getting more touches.

614
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: I agree. And something I mentioned about Bernard is he's

615
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: never had more than I think hundred seventy carries in

616
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: his career. We know he's the passing down guy. He's

617
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: a great PPR back, but he's going like in the

618
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: seventh maybe six seventh round, which excites me. I mean,

619
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: if he falls to me in the seventh round, I'm thrilled.

620
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: See I I feel like that's too early for a

621
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: guy who's who doesn't get that much volume, and you're

622
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: just kind of relying on the receptions at for the floor,

623
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: which in a PPR league is great, but in a

624
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: standard league maybe not so much. So. If you can

625
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: get Hill in the fourth or fifth round and Geo

626
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: is going in the seventh round, I would rather take

627
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: Hill and kind of let g O go to someone else.

628
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: Was my argument for Geo, Like falling in twalling in

629
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: my lap and maybe the seventh round is that two

630
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: of us three years in the NFL, he's had twelve

631
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: hundred scrimmage yards or more um. His first two years

632
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: he had the first year he had eight touchdown, second

633
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: year he had seven touchdowns. Last year was a little

634
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: bit of a dug with just the two touchdowns. But

635
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, he as a rusher doesn't blow you away.

636
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: He just had a hundred and fifty carries basically last year.

637
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: But when you look at the overall production from scrimmage,

638
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: I feel a little bit better about what you're getting

639
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: out of out of Geo Bernard. I also like, I'm

640
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: I'm I think I'm excited about you Overnard for what

641
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: I think his expanded role in the offense will be

642
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: both as a pass catcher and his harmon hinted like,

643
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: if they do pound it out more, they're not going

644
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: to feed Hill three hundred some carries. Geo is talented

645
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: as well between the tackles. He doesn't have to be

646
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: a hurry up guy. I could see him snagging a

647
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: few more carries that would help help boost his weekly

648
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: ceiling even a little bit more. But this is the

649
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: committee backfield and probably the least scared about in the NFL,

650
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty happy to get either Geo's price below

651
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: his floor in even in PPR drafts. He's going as

652
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: the running back twenty five and he's never not been

653
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: a top twenty running back in PPR. I mean, you

654
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: talk about this being a committee, Alex, and I feel

655
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: like this is the most well defined committee situation. Yes,

656
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: thank you, Bengals. It's very nice of you. That's so

657
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: nice of you. Um quickly on on Tyler Eiffort. I mean,

658
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna come off the board in drafts because he's

659
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: just too talented. Where are you guys comfortable grabbing this

660
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: guy eighth round? I think that sounds about right. So

661
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: then when you have Tyler Eiffort, who are you drafting

662
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: as your other tight end to kind of get you

663
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: through those first couple of weeks of the season. Jared

664
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: Goat Cook. Yeah, that's exactly. That's the first time Jared

665
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: Cook and goat have ever been used in the same sentence. Well,

666
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Maybe not. There's a lot

667
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: of idiots out there on Twitter, so uh, and we're

668
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: we're definitely some of them. But I, I mean, I like,

669
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: I like Jared Cook this year I'm I'm getting more

670
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: and more, more and more about that life, especially now

671
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: that he's actually playing. You know, I've seen Jared side

672
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,479
Speaker 1: side note to Jared Cook, I've seen him fall to

673
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: like literally my last pick in MFL tens. That's that's

674
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: dumb that it's so exciting twenty round drafts. Don't don't

675
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: talk about it, be about it. Just live it, man,

676
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: Listen joy, enjoy your bounty. I'm here for the people,

677
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: all right. But yeah, Tyler Effort, he's he's super talented.

678
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: He's one of their primary regison weapons. So when he

679
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: comes back, he's going to have reliable production in that offense.

680
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: But you're gonna be missing him for anywhere from one

681
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: to four maybe more weeks, we don't know yet, as

682
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: he works his way back. So that's the part that

683
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: is hard because we don't have any clarity on exactly how,

684
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: but you could probably stream tight ends to worst case

685
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: scenario and find usable production until it comes back. True

686
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: Clive Wolford, anybody Antonio Gates still goes in eleventh round,

687
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: which I find nonsensical. Zap Miller. I think the Gates

688
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: thing is just because you know ancient, you know, onto

689
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland onto Cleveland over to the Do you still call

690
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: it the Factory of Sadness? I mean they're trying to

691
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: they're trying to change their production methods there in in Cleveland.

692
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: Are okay, let's just start r G three or not?

693
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: We drafted him in something that's happening. I want to

694
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: see him in the preseason. Yeah, we gotta watch him.

695
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say we're not drafting him unless you again

696
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: play in a deeper league or in the NFL ten.

697
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: But I think he's a pretty good streamer this year

698
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: because the Browns will fall behind. He can run. I

699
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: saw him. I saw him run in practice and slide.

700
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't see it, but I saw somebody

701
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: vying it. But yeah, he might have learned how to slide.

702
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: And even so, like, even if he's not the athletic

703
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: freak show that he was in his rookie year, he's

704
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: still going to book it a couple of times in

705
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: those rushing yards matter in fantasy. And I mean, he's

706
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: got this offense has good weapons, right He's really good weapons.

707
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: Right now. You think about if they're behind and he's

708
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: got Duke Johnson, Barnage, Coleman after a couple of weeks

709
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: Gordon like Higgins slid Uh that's that's that's a pretty

710
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: fun little offense for him to throw the ball too.

711
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: So I could definitely be in as as a streamer

712
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: um or maybe somebody scoop up off the waiver wires,

713
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: but I'd rather take my shots on a Tyrod Taylor

714
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: or somebody else in terms of late round quarterbacks. Quick aside,

715
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: harmon you you write the hype Train smoke screen piece

716
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: that we have on NFL dot com. Yeah, can you do?

717
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: You just do me a solid? Can you have a

718
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: huge Jackson edition smoke screen I think he's I think

719
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: he's the one that should write it. I mean where

720
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: you just basically oh no, because it'll all be hype

721
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: Train if it's you, Like, we need somebody to kind

722
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: of cut through, you know, the the huge speak and

723
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,239
Speaker 1: and you know, tell us what's real and what's not.

724
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: That's just you know, just something to keep in your

725
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: back pocket. Maybe something we you know, we we we

726
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: rolled out just before the seasons. We should just do

727
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: our own, Like, did you just do a separate column

728
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: of like stuff? Hugh says, I honestly, you know, I

729
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: mean I remember that you know there's a Twitter account stuff.

730
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: My dad says, like we should just do stuff, Hugh

731
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: Jackson says, and we can, you know, try and translate it. Um.

732
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of Hugh Jackson and his hype trains, Duke Johnson, Yeah, uh,

733
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson, Isaiah Crowell, I mean, you know, the when

734
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: when you got to Cleveland. I mean, just so much

735
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: praise for these guys. And yeah, okay, first off, who

736
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: do we like better, Duke or or the crow I

737
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: mean Duke is Duke is the guy everybody wants. I

738
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: would think so, right, but crow L is the better

739
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: bargain me. I completely agree with that. Yeah, I'm just

740
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm not about Duke Johnson in like the early fifth round.

741
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: That's way too. That's where he goes. That's where he

742
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: goes in PPR right now, looking at standard as I talk,

743
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: as the page loads, he's probably why he's probably a

744
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: six or seventh and standard he is currently Oh my god,

745
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: this list is hard to read maybe or maybe I'm

746
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: bad at reading. This is good. It is good podcasting. Yeah,

747
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: he has a sixth round six six o seven. He's

748
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: no longer a sleeper. Yeah, not at all. I'm I'm okay,

749
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: with him there. I guess in Standard, depending on my

750
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: roster makeup, I'm not going to take him holistically every

751
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: time in the sixth round. But I certainly like his

752
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: upside in the passing game, and he caught what sixty

753
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: passes as a rookie, and he we know he's a

754
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: dynamic runner between the tackles. He showed that a little

755
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: bit last year. He might not have the complete build

756
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: and skill set of a true featured back, but I mean,

757
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: when you're starting to hit that area, I don't mind

758
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: taking a guy with some upside like that. Do we

759
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: go ahead franchise d having in the fifth of sixth round.

760
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: He's like your RB two at that point, And I

761
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: don't think in a standard league that's not gonna cut it.

762
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna catch like that much more

763
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: than the passes that he caught last years. Like I

764
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: liked him more when Josh Gordon wasn't in the pictures,

765
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: and I know Josh Gordon's touchy subject in this room,

766
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 1: even though James, even though James co seat is absently

767
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: but has really stirred some controversy I think in the

768
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: fantasy community, because there are certain guys Matt Harmon, who's

769
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: an idiot. It's like he's here. But I mean, regardless

770
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: of what you think of Josh God, like Marcus said,

771
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that, he's gonna eat up volume, and

772
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: that volume probably was going to go to h to Johnson. Yeah,

773
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: there's just more better targets in that office. Is there

774
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: chance do any of us believe that maybe at some

775
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: point midway through the year, one of these two guys

776
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: fingers crossed for Duke Johnson just takes the lead in

777
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: this backfield and kind of becomes the guy, or we

778
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: doomed to a rotational year. I think it's a rotation. Yeah,

779
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: I think we're doomed. I think it's But it could

780
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: be a little bit like you know, it's easy to

781
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: make the comparison because he's there, but it could be

782
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: much of like a Bengals light situation where Crowell is

783
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: the early down bang or the grinded out guys goal lineback.

784
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: But the problem is how often are the Browns going

785
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 1: to be in those game scripts that involve a player

786
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: like Crowell. But at the same time he's a ninth

787
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: ground pick. I mean, that's a fine dart brow there. Yeah,

788
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: he'll be like your RB four or five at that

789
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 1: point the franchise. Didn't you have in your piece about

790
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: these backs to which another good one you guys can

791
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: read NFL com slash franchise. Uh didn't Mary kay Cabot

792
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: like double or triple down on Crowell getting a thousand

793
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: yards this year? Three times this season she's posted she

794
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: does like a mail bag thing on her Twitter. She

795
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: said Krawl will rush for a thousand yards, three separate

796
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: articles that she posted, like in one year, all this time,

797
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: all this summer, and you're saying a thousand yards in

798
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: one year, Marcus and he hasn't had a thousand yards

799
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: season yet. I think it was yards the question and

800
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: talking about Hugh Jackson talk talking these guys up, he said,

801
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: I started this piece with all these quotes of coach

802
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: speak about the backfield. He said, these two talking about

803
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: Krol and Duke are as good as I've seen in

804
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: a while. Their talent is extreme. Duke Johnson does so

805
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: many different things that gives your offense a boost, and

806
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: Karl can be a big time runner. And I think

807
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: the thing about these guys is they're so young still

808
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 1: that they're still learning how to develop as NFL running

809
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: backs and that's a big deal this this year in

810
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: camp for them, they're they're learning, they're figuring stuff out,

811
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: and with Hugh Jackson there, I think the potential is great.

812
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: And uh, Karl is a huge bargain. He's going to

813
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: get the red zone work and I don't know, maybe

814
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: six touchdowns in a thousand yards. I wouldn't shock me.

815
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's a I'm going to write

816
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: a piece about the perfect like zero running back or

817
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver heavy running backs to take later in your draft,

818
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: and I think he's at the top of the list. Yeah,

819
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 1: he's got I was actually gonna I'm glad you mentioned

820
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: that because I was going to tease your piece and

821
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: ask you if he would be on the list because

822
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: he seems like that perfect type of one and a

823
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: team that's probably gonna be run heavy because Hugh Jackson's

824
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: offenses I think the last four or five years have

825
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: never not been in the top ten and run rush

826
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: attempt or maybe they had one outlier year. But man, uh,

827
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: but you know you said they're not gonna be in

828
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: favorite game scripts. But if they pound the rock fifteen

829
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: times in the first half early with with Crow l

830
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna be able to give you solid production when

831
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: you have a bunch of elite receivers. Uh. Speaking of receivers,

832
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, we know is suspended for the first four

833
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: games of the season. Um, Corey Coleman, dealing with a

834
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: nagging injury, has yet to be on the field. I mean,

835
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: the question here on the rundown is what do we

836
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: make of the Gordon Coleman split? But I think the

837
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: bigger question is how worried are we about this receiving

838
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: group as a whole, because neither of these guys is

839
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: really getting a chance to work with the team right now. Yeah, man,

840
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Gordon isn't even in shape, and that's

841
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: at least those are the reports, you know. And Hugh

842
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: Jackson himself, Hugh Jackson, the King of Hype, came out

843
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: and said that Josh Gordon's that that's bad, right. When

844
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: the King of hips can't find a way to hide you,

845
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: that's not good. That's not good. Right. Um. I mean,

846
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: I think we know we've we've kind of hashed the

847
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon thing out on this podcast. You know my

848
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: feelings on it, you know everybody else's feelings on it.

849
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: I do think that he is Feelings Podcast, Feelings Podcasts

850
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: as we transition here, um, I think that I think

851
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: that he's a good pick if you're going wide receiver heavy.

852
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: But only if you're going wide receiver heavy. Otherwise you

853
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: just you cannot take that that eight pound or eight pound,

854
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: eight hundred pound gorilla on your on your fantasy squad.

855
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: You can take the eight pounds pretty they can deal that.

856
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 1: That's fine. Her ombe rest in peace. But but Corey

857
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: Coleman Man, I mean, now that Gordon has come back,

858
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: his draft price has significantly decreased. He's now like a

859
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: ninth round pick at wide forty two, and the market

860
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: course corrected on Gordon. When he first came back, everybody

861
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: freaked out and now he's well. No, Corey Coleman is

862
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: Coleman I and I I love that they're our colleague.

863
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler wrote a great piece on Coleman, not just

864
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: because he cited me in it. But I'm sure you

865
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: didn't hurt. No, but that didn't hurt. But I, you know,

866
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: I think that Corey Coleman right off the bat, and

867
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: this is a comparison that Ben Natan, who's a Twitter

868
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: account you shouldn't follow, but he writes for he writes

869
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: for Bleeding Cree Nation Eagle's website. He does some NFL

870
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: draft work, but he made a really good comparison that

871
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: from a role perspective, you could see the Browns do

872
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: with Corey Coleman what the Steelers did with Martavis Bryant

873
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: early in his career. You know, not ask him to

874
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 1: be a complete player, but just be a big play threat.

875
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: So as your wide receiver four or something like that,

876
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: you could see him make, you know, some big plays

877
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: for your fantasy squad. Nice all right? Um, By the way,

878
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon's ADP on Fantasy Football Calculator twelve team leagues

879
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: sixth round right now, just stop people, That is way

880
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: way way listen. I'm telling you if if he's your

881
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver four, if you've go on wide receiver heavy,

882
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: that's not bad. But again it's all income man. Sixth round,

883
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: you're not You're not. You're not drafting a wide receiver

884
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: four and then yeah, well yeah you are. I mean,

885
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: I guess if you went, if you if you've taken,

886
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: if taken, if you've got you know, if you took,

887
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: you take like a J Green in the first round,

888
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: Mike Evans are Keenan Allen the second. You know, you

889
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: throw mark Ingram in the third and then in the

890
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: fourth round you've taken another wide receiver. You've got plenty

891
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: of room. I mean, I guess so, but all right,

892
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: don't do it. So Gary Barnkowski is the tight end

893
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: number Marcus will start with you. Wow, I'm gonna say,

894
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: let me think about this. So we got all right, Harmon,

895
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: We'll start with you. Gary Barnag is the tight end?

896
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: What for you this year? I think he's like a

897
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: fringe top ten tight end, just I think the volume

898
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: will be there. I think he's probably still their best

899
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: red zone threat, you know, Josh Gordon notwithstanding, you know

900
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: right now he's going off the board as the as

901
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: a tight end tend in the ninth round. I'm fine

902
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 1: with that. I think he legitimately did take a step forward.

903
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: I think sometimes we see these tight ends come along

904
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: in a slow burn. I currently have him as my

905
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: seventh tight end, and I think that's about where he's

906
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: going to beat me. We're talking about a guy who

907
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: had kind of been a journeyman, who came out of

908
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: nowhere and had a huge season and again. As the

909
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: fantasy skeptic, I always kind of want to see somebody

910
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: do it again. And there. You know, there are a

911
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: lot of guys that I love more than Gary Barnage.

912
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: I just I don't know that I take a chance

913
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: on him, but I think I think because of the

914
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: state of the position, he ends up being a top

915
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: ten guy. But he's like, like Harmon said, he's at

916
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: the back end of that top ten franchise. Yep, I agree.

917
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: I have him as my sixth ranked as my sixth

918
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: tight end for the season, ahead of Travis Kelsey, Julius Thomas.

919
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: But the other thing to remember with him is he's

920
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: not a young guy either. He's thirty years old. Um,

921
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just there's there's I'm just waiting.

922
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm waiting on tight end where I probably won't take

923
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: Barnage in any of my leagues, so I'll let someone

924
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: else deal with him. Yeah, I'm kind of with you. There.

925
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: There's some guys I like to go a few rounds

926
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: later than him that i'd I'd rather wait and to

927
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: scoop up there so I can take a shot on

928
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: more upside guys in the rounds where Gary bonners typically

929
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: goes but onto Pittsburgh. Yeah, so we have our resident

930
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: Steeler fan, the franchise, Matt Franciscovitch in the house. And

931
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: let's start with the question. I actually thought about this

932
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: this morning when when I was at the gym and

933
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: looking on the rag. I always like, I like that sidebar.

934
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: I like that we always kind of just randomly throw

935
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: out like you know, I was, I was, I was

936
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: running after the game gym this morning. I mean, you dots,

937
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: you do look good, but but no, and just the

938
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: like random places that we think about football, Like I

939
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: think that's how that's how that the whole Todd Gurley

940
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: thing was brought about. Like I was sitting alone in

941
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: the living room on a Saturday, like, well, my life sucks.

942
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 1: Let me think about god, girl, that's how our lives work.

943
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: I think about this stuff too much. People always ask

944
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: me to like quick aside about that though, like that

945
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: with you know, because Harmon and I live together, peeling

946
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: back the curtain more like what do you guys like

947
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: like people that to say to us, like you should

948
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: make a reality show out of your life, and I'm like,

949
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,439
Speaker 1: would not be a very exciting, it would be pretty dull.

950
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: We just drink beer and talk about football. What do

951
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: you think about? Well, I don't know, something like we

952
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: can get on a good football run, but sometimes like

953
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: we're off, like if we're not talking about football, like

954
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't think people want to hear about Actually, honestly,

955
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: you should pitch it to NFL, now, Gail Harmon, let's

956
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: do it. We'll pass anyway on the back to the

957
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: Steelers here. I was thinking about this this morning, and

958
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: we obviously know Martavis Bryant is not going to play

959
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: this year. Levian Bell is gone for four games. He

960
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 1: actually shot out of here. And now we're seeing these

961
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: stories about Ladarius Green having recurring headaches and he's on

962
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: the pup list and there's no there's certainly no timetable

963
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: for when he's going to get back in action. This

964
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 1: offense has lost quite a few pieces, and it's starting

965
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: to make me wonder, is I mean, are we still

966
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: confident in Antonio Brown being the number one overall pick

967
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: when they're part of I think what made this was

968
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: offense so good was that it was so dynamic, and

969
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: it's a lot less dynamic now than it was a

970
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: few months ago. Yeah, I'm not concerned about him What

971
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: what makes Brown the number one pick is his his

972
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: volume and how good he is. And you know he

973
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: has done it without He's done it when Martavis Bryan

974
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: has been in there, He's done it. When he hasn't

975
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: been in there, he's don't when Bell has been in there.

976
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: He's done it. When Bell hasn't been in there, But

977
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: he hasn't done it when all these guys haven't been

978
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: in there. But if there's one player that we can

979
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: we can trust to get to get that done, I

980
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: think I think it'll be him. I'm not concerned about him.

981
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm more concerned about this. Earlier in this off season

982
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: was when they signed Ladarius Screen and we thought Martavis

983
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: Bryant was gonna be there. I was like, man, there's

984
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna be so many fantasy points from this offense. And now,

985
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,479
Speaker 1: like you said, Marcus, I feel like they're land mines

986
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: all over the place. Yeah, no, I mean I could

987
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: there are even Bell, Like even if you draft Bell

988
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 1: in the first or second round or wherever he's going,

989
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: like he's got injury risk now he's not. He only

990
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: had he only played sixteen games in one season so far,

991
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I mean when he's in there

992
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: and he's healthy. He's the best running back in the

993
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: league because of his past catching abilities and stuff. But

994
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: I can hear the sadness in your voice. It's just

995
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: so depressing, Like this could be the most exciting offense

996
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and it's just so horrible to see

997
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: these guys not getting the chance to play and they're

998
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 1: just kind of wasting their youth behind the scenes, behind

999
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: the scenes. For all you guys out there listening, Uh,

1000
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: the morning that the news came down about Martavis Bryant's suspension,

1001
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: you know, we all have a little text message chain

1002
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: between us, and I remember which was the first one

1003
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: of us was to drop the oh no, Martevis. But

1004
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: I thought I I wanted to get in my car

1005
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: and drive to Hollywood because franchises texts sounded so despondent

1006
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: over everything. And then later the level the left bel one.

1007
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: He was just like, I'm straight up dead, died Like

1008
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: He's like I got when we got into work together.

1009
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 1: He's like, I've already died like two times today. So sad.

1010
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: But I don't, you know, I guess I'm I'm a

1011
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: little I kind of see your point on Brown Marcus

1012
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: a little bit, just because this offense is clearly a

1013
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: different offense without Mark Davis Bryan on the field. But

1014
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: at the same time, I think he's just so much

1015
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: more I don't want to say safe, but I just

1016
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: like his outlook better than you know, even any of

1017
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: the other guys, even though if Beckham or or Julio

1018
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 1: Jones was to outscore it wouldn't totally shock me. But

1019
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: but he's probably still my favorite Number one. We're all

1020
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: pick the guy I'm I'm not interested in at all,

1021
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: unless you know, you know, literdary screen notwithstanding, because that

1022
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: situation is murky at best. I'm not. I mean Ben Roethlisberg.

1023
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: We've talked about this before, like hands off at current

1024
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: draft price had completely hands off. He's already been a

1025
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: more volable fantasy quarterback than most people even want to admit.

1026
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: He's got some weird home road splits, but you know,

1027
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: as quarterback six in the sixth round, which is falling

1028
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: a little bit no way at the beginning, like this

1029
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: is one one. At the beginning of the year, I

1030
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: was ready to Pensyl benn And as my QB four

1031
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: because of all the all the weapons, and now with

1032
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: everything else, Like I think his volatility is gonna come back,

1033
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: and I'm just in no way, I'm with you. I've

1034
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: I've backed off completely on him. Is he's still a

1035
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback? I have him at I think literally

1036
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: QB ten right now. Yeah, I have to adjust my

1037
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: ranking because I haven't looked at them in a while.

1038
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 1: But I was just gonna surmise he'd be at about

1039
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: QB now mine. But I might even slide him down,

1040
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: like I mean, I'm I'm looking at mine right now

1041
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: and I haven't tweaked mine. I need to go do that.

1042
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: But I I look and I see, I mean immediately see.

1043
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 1: You know, Andrew Luck, Carson Palmer, Drew Brees, maybe Eli

1044
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: Manning certainly all above him. I think Philip Rivers had

1045
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: put above him. Yeah, I think it's you know, you

1046
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: start to get around, like you know what happens with

1047
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. He I think they're kind of in that

1048
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,439
Speaker 1: same area right now because of the Brady suspension keeping

1049
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: him out for four games. So uh yeah, things have changed.

1050
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: I mean I say it all the time, life comes

1051
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: at you fast, and it has come at the Steelers

1052
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: very very fast. I don't know if it's come at

1053
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: anybody faster. Yeah, that's I mean outside of the you

1054
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 1: know or whatever it was when everybody retired, but when

1055
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: the whole team was, as you said, Alex, they were raptured.

1056
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: That was that was life come back to us. All right.

1057
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: So I guess the last question now with his offense,

1058
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: we we have to wait and see what the Darry stream,

1059
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: which is sad. Hopefully he gets better and things like that,

1060
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: because he's an exciting player and nobody wants to see that,

1061
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, recurring headaches happen to him. But Marcus Wheaton,

1062
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: Sammy Coats, somebody's gonna have to step up in this

1063
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: offense as the number two option. Which one do you

1064
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: prefer to draft Marcus Wheaton and round ten ish or

1065
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: Sandy Coats and round fourteen. There's a clear answer here,

1066
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: So is anybody going to give the wrong answer? Well,

1067
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean because of that, because of their draft prize

1068
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: and Sammy Coats. But but but I guess my concern

1069
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: is that they end up kind of splitting those number

1070
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: two receiver duties, Like there's no guarantee that whoever is

1071
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: the starter is the guy that gets the majority of snaps.

1072
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: Like we can see both these guys rotate in all year,

1073
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: it could be super frustrating. You know, Sammy Coates is

1074
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,399
Speaker 1: creeping up right now. He's currently a tenth round pick

1075
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: on on Fantasy Football calculator. Because nobody has been building

1076
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: hype like Sammy Coats. I mean just the buzz has

1077
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: been enormous and from like the immediately like after the

1078
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,439
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and stuff to the like, oh, Sandy Coats

1079
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: is still here, like still working out. He would be

1080
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: a pretty big statistical outlier to go from literally a

1081
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 1: catch as a rookie to then being a big factor

1082
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: in year two. But I think they need eat him.

1083
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: I think he's been in great shape. The team really

1084
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: likes him. You know, he's not Martavis Bryant. I think

1085
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: that narrative is is silly just because they're both big

1086
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: and athletic. But he can do some of those things

1087
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: like when they were getting Martavis the ball on slants

1088
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: and screens. He can do those. He's really dynamic after

1089
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: the catch. He's a cut dude. I mean, like you

1090
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: talk about body envy, man, I wish I looked like

1091
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: Sammy Coates. Uh, that's weird, but that was very weird actually,

1092
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: But as long as he stays like a double digit

1093
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: round pick. I'm totally in on him and I'm completely

1094
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: off market, like completely off Mark Sweten. I wouldn't draft

1095
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: him at all period. Yeah, a couple of knocks we've done.

1096
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: I've taken Wheaton in like the ninth round. That was

1097
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,720
Speaker 1: like weeks ago now, but with all this hype about

1098
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: around Sammy Coats now, I'm just I'm with you. I'm

1099
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: off Wheat and I'm not gonna take him. Yeah, he

1100
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: scares me a little bit. The other thing I've just

1101
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: noticed is D'Angelo Williams ADP has gone up into the

1102
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: fifth round. Are you guys? That's crazy, right, that's a

1103
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: little bit rich for me eye price for four weeks, man,

1104
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: But if you're to make the to make just be

1105
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: Devil's advocate here, like if you're getting an RB one

1106
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 1: for four weeks, like the RB one, if you know,

1107
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: if he does what he did last year, that's not

1108
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: a bad proposition, even if it's only for four weeks.

1109
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: It's also a big if though, as he gets all

1110
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: their an offense lacking everything else. We said, Yeah, and

1111
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: that's that's the biggest thing that I think is becoming

1112
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: less and less appealing about like just going, you know,

1113
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: balls to the wall to get the Pittsburgh backfield. It's

1114
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,919
Speaker 1: just that this offense just might not be as good

1115
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 1: as what we're used to. I could take a huge

1116
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: step back. Let's actually I actually want to look back

1117
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,919
Speaker 1: at what he did real quick in this I would say,

1118
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: I would say the other part of that is not

1119
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: only just talking about what he could potentially do in

1120
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: the first four weeks. Uh, it's what he offers you

1121
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 1: all year long. I mean, even we we saw, even

1122
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: when Levian Bell came back, the Agela Williams still had

1123
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: a place in that offense. And I do believe that

1124
00:50:58,160 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: this was gonna be a year that we would see

1125
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: the Elers use Williams a little bit more in an

1126
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: effort to keep Bell fresh for a playoff run. And

1127
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: so you know, I know we spent some time earlier

1128
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: this offseason talking about a guy like Jerke McKinnon and

1129
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: how McKinnon could really be one of those handcuffs that

1130
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: helps you win a league because of how the Vikings

1131
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: use him. I think similarly, the Angela Williams has that

1132
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: kind of value in Pittsburgh where he's going to get

1133
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: even as the backup enough volume that you can occasionally

1134
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: use him as a flex option and and maybe get

1135
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: some decent production at Yeah, but I don't think he'll

1136
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: return on fifth round value though. No again, I still

1137
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: think fifth round is a little too rich for for

1138
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get out of I mean it. He was,

1139
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: especially in those early goings, he was a little touchdown

1140
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: dependent as far as fantasy goes. He he even did

1141
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: out with some good some good performances later, but he did.

1142
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: He scored three touchdowns in that Week two game against

1143
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: San Francisco, which was a lot of what buoyed his

1144
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: value and had him as the RB one while Bell

1145
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: was gone. So if those if, if some of those

1146
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: scoring opportunities go away, I don't know, man, considering when

1147
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: there are other guys that are going you know, a

1148
00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 1: few who are seven rounds after him that are going

1149
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: to be featured backs or potential RB one's more on

1150
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: a warm weekly basis, uh, you know, like Jonathan Stewart,

1151
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews or Latavious Murray like in in that fifth

1152
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,439
Speaker 1: round and beyond, I'm gonna have a hard time taking

1153
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: T'angel Williams there. Yeah, none of them just have the theoretical.

1154
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 1: None of those guys you just mentioned the theoretical ceiling

1155
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: that Williams does exactly. He's also the prototypical you know,

1156
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about Joe Bernard, like the starter gets hurt.

1157
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: If Levyan Bell, who's want to get hurt, uh, you know,

1158
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: gets hurt again even after coming back from suspension, then

1159
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: you've got a pretty strong RB one on your hand.

1160
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: But you're paying like literally the iron price for yes exactly,

1161
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: which is what scares me a little bit for you.

1162
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: There you go boom. Uh. So that concludes are run

1163
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: through of the a f C North. Of course, we'll

1164
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: have more on Tuesday, and we decided what division we're

1165
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: doing on top. All right, we'll figure that out, So

1166
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: you're just gonna have to tune in and listen for

1167
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 1: that when when we do that on Tuesday. But onto

1168
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 1: what we know that you guys out there have all

1169
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: been waiting for because we see our Twitter mentions on

1170
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: a daily basis, our fan league update. Now, James co

1171
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: isn't here to make any danger zone selections. I know

1172
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: he did a couple in our most recent podcast, so

1173
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 1: he's not here, but we are going to pick a couple.

1174
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna pick a couple today because we're getting close

1175
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: to having meeting to fill these leagues and scheduling our

1176
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: half these drafts. So I guess since we're each doing two, right,

1177
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: we can kind of rotate this gol, Right, why don't

1178
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: have the Beard League start off? All right? Go for

1179
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: it that I don't go for it all right, I'll

1180
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: go first. So I picked a guy. His name is

1181
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: Austin our Tinger. I believe. I don't sorry if I

1182
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: pronounce that wrong, but he engages with us on Twitter

1183
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: a lot. He's one of the regularly it's always favoriting

1184
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: our tweets and conversing with us. And he wrote a

1185
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: really nice review. It's titled I Jive with NFL Fantasy Live.

1186
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: But then in parentheses he put I'm so sorry, So

1187
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 1: it's good. I'll just read his self awareness is a

1188
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: big key. Yes, it sounds like he's got a lot

1189
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: of it. I'll just read his review real quick. He says.

1190
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: Let me start off by saying, this is one of

1191
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,439
Speaker 1: my favorite podcasts, as I've listened to every episode since

1192
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: about April. Fantasy Advice Provided UH is stellar and James

1193
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: co is a fantastic voice and is a great host.

1194
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: I enjoy how the guys not only talking about football

1195
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: but all sorts of things. Daily DAPs is creative, segment,

1196
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: unique and refreshing. I love talking to the guys on Twitter.

1197
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: They almost always respond thank you. I'm dying to get

1198
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: into one of the listener leagues. This is where he

1199
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: got me. I'm very intrigued by the Danger Zone League

1200
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: because I burned my hand on a stove once and

1201
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 1: it kind of gave me a rush. Since you're interested

1202
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: in help for that, yeah, get help, um, But we

1203
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: you are not going in the Dangers only, Austin. We

1204
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: are picking you for the Beard League because you and

1205
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon have discussed on Twitter how you cannot grow

1206
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: facial hair anywhere but your neck. That qualifies you for

1207
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: Battle of the Beards. He says. I love you guys

1208
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: in The podcast is a must listen throughout the year.

1209
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. Um, So, Austin, you're in

1210
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: al right. Welcome, Welcome to the Beard League. Welcome me

1211
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: and Matt Harman there. You should have like a drop

1212
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: for this, like some sort of celebration. Yeah, I thought, well,

1213
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: oroducer sucks? Would you do? These are the kind of

1214
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: things people want to see in the reality show. Wow.

1215
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,600

Speaker 1: Now are we going one and one and one and one?

1217
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: I think that's all right. You want to do your

1250
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 1: So this one comes in from Max Quinn at max

1251
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: Quinn on Twitter. He went all out to get in

1252
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: and I like that. So his review is if you're

1253
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: looking for a fantasy podcast, and I'll preface this this

1254
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: is a lot of puns which started off on a

1255
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: bad notas I hate puns. If you're looking for fantasy plans,

1256
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: why you glare at me all day? Yeah, what's one

1257
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: of the reasons. If you're looking for a fantasy podcast

1258
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: to blow your entire fabiano budget on, get hard to

1259
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: look past this one. Granted, there are plenty of fantasy

1260
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: pods out there, but this is the conly one to

1261
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: harmoniously combine reliable in depth analysis with lighthearted approach continued.

1262
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes they enter a truly rancorous fantasy quagmire called the

1263
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: danger zone, but order is always restored before things become

1264
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: too What is it like franchietic or something covid ficious?

1265
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyways, overall there are and now he's

1266
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: we get good. Overall these legends have helped me stay

1267
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: on high burdler and I'm gonna take the way. I

1268
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: guess that was Francisco Vicious. It is probably where probably

1269
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: take a stronghold on all my fantasy leagues. I trust

1270
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: their analysis to West Virginia. I'm not sure if this

1271
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: place actually exists and back heart emoji and that's great,

1272
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: pretty good review. He's also from Australia. Bonus points there, um,

1273
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: but really where he stood out was he sent us

1274
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 1: a chart. Uh this was late Tuesday night. I think detail,

1275
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,959
Speaker 1: like with all different little things about how to get

1276
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: into the Beard League everything, this is very detailed. It's

1277
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,959
Speaker 1: a zero to one scale for a chance to entry,

1278
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: so zero when league opens, iTunes review, he goes up

1279
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: to a seven. Then the West Virginia tweet he brought

1280
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: himself down to a four. That's good, And he goes

1281
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: all the way up to nine when he put me

1282
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: as Camar Aikin's father on his wick up, which, by

1283
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: the way, that's that's actually franchisees franchise is actually as

1284
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: father to be to be Frank. But and then he's

1285
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: he puts himself down at a two with this dumb graph.

1286
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, that brings you up to ten,

1287
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: I think. And he's got a number, you know, disastrously

1288
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: off Hidja Kids Bird Alert Wide Receiver Prognosticator. I meme

1289
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: bro crying Jordan's I mean it's all on here and

1290
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: the best part is the top right corner. It's got

1291
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: that horrendous picture of Gelhar as a child that he

1292
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: tweeted out. He put that in there, so I mean,

1293
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: this chart is undeniable and Max you are in the

1294
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: Beard League. Well, I do want to say, and you know,

1295
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: I I A lot of you have come out and

1296
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: left reviews, and I know we can't pick everybody, you know,

1297
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: I know we wish we could. I guess we were

1298
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: Scott If we were Scott Fish and we did a

1299
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: Scott Fish bull type thing, we probably could get just

1300
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: about all of you guys in. So it is, it

1301
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: is hard, trust us. It's hard to know that not

1302
00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: all of you can get into this thing. But I

1303
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: will say the creativity and the level of effort that

1304
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: some of you guys have put into this has been amazing, right,

1305
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: And and that's just you know, listen, people that leave reviews,

1306
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: it's like, hey want to be in the league, that

1307
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: you're not getting the better than that you don't have

1308
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: to go all out like this. But you can see

1309
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: like even in the review that Franchise play for Austin,

1310
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: it was just it was just a good whole you know,

1311
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: sincere review like those those are good too. We got those.

1312
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 1: We've got creativity. Now we've got another one for the

1313
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: last entrance into the O G League. Because this is

1314
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: a this is an example of creativity. As well. I'm

1315
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: gonna try and breeze through this because it's it's a

1316
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: little long and we're running along, but it comes Jimmy

1317
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: underscore a whole of h O l U B from Austria,

1318
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: another international listener, but headline, the force is strong with

1319
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: this one. A short time ago in a galaxy not

1320
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: so far away, Fantasy Football Wars episode two a new challenge,

1321
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: he goes on to basically do the an opening crawl

1322
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: from Star Wars, calling himself Darth Jimmy and how he's

1323
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: trying to take on the Dark Council members, which are

1324
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: us in a fantasy league. Jimmy, Uh, it is on

1325
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: for a couple of paragraphs. It's good defeat. It's just

1326
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: defeating the Dark load could be the final step on

1327
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy's path to eternal fantasy glory dot dot dot, and

1328
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: he says, if you made it this far as suppose

1334
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: pretty accurate when that's debatable, and it's great you try

1335

1434
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: junk food to build more muscle. Well, yeah, essentially, because yeah,

1435
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: because I have been on like an outrageously healthy die.

1436

1446
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,840

1448

1454
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: the Olympics have been a lot of fun to watch.

1455
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: I know they've been complaints about NBC's coverage and you

1456
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 1: know whatever, but Simone Manual winning uh A gold medal

1457
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: last night and swimming and becoming the first African American

1458
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 1: woman to win an individual medal in swimming. That was cool.

1459
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: But what was cooler to me was watching her reaction

1460
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: and just seeing you know, how, you know, how she

1461
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: took it all in and how the moment was so

1462
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: big for her, and even just seeing you know, pictures

1463
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: of it and seeing interviews and videos afterwards got me

1464
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: a little bit dusty because it is amazing to watch

1465
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 1: these athletes achieve their dreams and especially to realize for

1466
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 1: so many of them, I mean to realize how young

1467
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: so many of them are. It is absolutely amazing to

1468
01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, be at that level, to be at that

1469
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: pinnacle at such a young age, and so um that

1470
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: you reminded me of that's a that's an awesome story.

1471
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: I want to jump in one more with this fing

1472
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: thing because we talked about a little bit on Slack,

1473
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: but Lily King on Monday, we forgot to do it

1474
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 1: on well, do it on Tuesday because we was the

1475
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 1: that was so awesome. So if you don't know she

1476
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: was in the I think the breaststroke or something for

1477
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: women's swimming, and uh. In the semifinals there was a

1478
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: Russian athlete who I forget her name, had been in

1479
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 1: a doping scandal, but she got through on her appeal

1480
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: and then she won her semifinal heat. So she did

1481
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: like Dikembe Mtumbo no no, no, finger wave at the cameras,

1482
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 1: and Lily King, who's nineteen year old U S Olympic athletes,

1483
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: saw her do that and finger waved her back and

1484
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 1: then beat her for the gold medal, and it was

1485
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: just and just like a total mic drop rocky for

1486
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 1: like knocking out Drago. It was awesome and it was

1487
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 1: so cool to see a nineteen year old swimmer have

1488
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: that much swagger and confidence and then bring home the

1489
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: gold for America. By the way, as great that was,

1490
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: it sort of got overshadowed because it was the same

1491
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: night as Phelps Face, which was also amazing. That was

1492
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: great too. Yeah, well because that guy was dancing in

1493
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,520
Speaker 1: front of him, but it was like air boxing. Yeah,

1494
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,680
Speaker 1: stops is just they're all angry, but Phelps just destroyed him.

1495
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, dayly taps to all of our Olympians. You

1496
