Now, 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: here's your host, Paul. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I 6 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: am Paul Charge in another post draft edition with Matt 7 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: Harrison at Explosive Output on Twitter. Hello, Matt, hey Charge, 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: how's it going awesome? Last week we broke down the 9 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: running backs that were taken after round one, which was 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: all of them except for one guy. And this week 11 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna turn our attention to the highly touted receivers 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: that went in the draft. Now, just this your volume 13 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: receivers means we're gonna hit them all. But we're gonna 14 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: hit We're gonna hit the guys that matter across the 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: draft landscape and the fantasy landscape, who you need to 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: know about and what they and bring to the table 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: for your fantasy team. That is our goal here on 18 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly today, and we begin first with t 19 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: Higgins who got drafted by Cincinnati. Tell people about te 20 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: Higgins and how you feel he fits into a crowded 21 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: set of wide receivers for the Bengals. Well, it's pretty 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: interesting too because Tee Higgins was the first pick around 23 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: two and there are seven wide receivers picked in the 24 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: second round of the draft, including the first two picks 25 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: of round two. So all these teams had a little 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: while to think about this and they're like, oh man, 27 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: there's wide receiver values still on the board, So te 28 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: Higgins is the first one. Uh, it is suddenly an 29 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: embarrassment of riches that wide receiver for the Bengals with 30 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: a j Green coming back, but he's on the franchise tag. Uh, 31 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,919 Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd and John Ross who both might be out 32 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: of contract at the end of this coming season. So 33 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: Tee Higgins could be your long term wide receiver one 34 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: play in Cincinnati. If you're in a dynasty league, He's 35 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: a super interesting stash because, uh, they got obviously Joe 36 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: Burrow there tossing the ball, So Tee Higgins could suddenly 37 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: be the wide receiver one next year. Right now, he's 38 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: looking at probably wide receiver three on that depth chart, 39 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: but uh, I think he definitely out muscles John Ross 40 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: for playing time and he should be on the on 41 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: the field for most three wide receiver sets for the 42 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: Bengals this year, te Higgins has got out muscle his 43 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: opponents as well. He's six ft four, two fifteen pounds, 44 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: the big catch radius and for a big man's surprising speed, 45 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: he's got these long strides that eat up yards. Tee 46 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: Higgins and incredibly productive the past two years with and 47 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: almost identical stats the past couple of years roughly sixty catches, 48 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: thousand yards, thirteen touchdowns, and that kind of productivity in 49 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: back to back years makes you feel really confident. I 50 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: think he think he flat out beats out John Raw, 51 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: maybe even by week one as the starter on the 52 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: outside opposite A J. Green with Tyler Boyd manning the 53 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: slot position. And I think you're right that a J. 54 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: This may very well be a J. Green's last year 55 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: and Cincinnati same could be said for Boyd and or Ross, 56 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: especially Ross, and Tee Higgins could emerges that number one 57 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: for what could be a decade long career potentially or 58 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: longer with Joe Burrow. And you know that's fantasy gold 59 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: right there. So I agree that in dynasty leagues, in particular, 60 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: Tee Higgins long term really not even that long term 61 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: beginning next year. Potential is really great. And charge I 62 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: made a mistake on Tyler Boyd. He is signed through 63 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: the three season, but he does play the slot. So 64 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: Tee Higgins from the outside is looking at wide receiver 65 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: one numbers in the very near future. There it's John 66 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: Ross that's gonna get pinched on this te Higgins move. 67 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: It's I think it's it's gonna be the it's gonna 68 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: be the odd man out of this deal. All right, 69 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: Let's go to the next player taken in the second round, 70 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: and that was Michael Pittman's kid. And I'm old have 71 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: had Michael Pittman on my fantasy team many times. He 72 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: had a long career in the NFL. Now his son, 73 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: another big bodied kid, goes to Indianapolis and all the 74 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: Colts and Frank Reich have done since the draft is 75 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 1: brag about how much they love this guy and how 76 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: they want to use them this year. What do you 77 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: think about Michael Pittman's fit for the Colts? And his 78 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: dad was correct me if I'm wrong, But the running 79 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: back for the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is 80 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: that correct? That is correct? Senior? There Um, Yeah, the 81 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: path the playing time is really great for Pittman as 82 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: no one is really fearing Paris Campbell at this point. 83 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: Oh I am he you are I I. Paris Campbell 84 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: to me is one of my favorite deep sleepers for 85 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: this kid. He At this time last year, we're all 86 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: really really excited about Paris Campbell and what he could 87 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: do as a sort of jack of all trades receiver 88 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: for the Colts. But then he had this just torpedo 89 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: this season, and I think Paris Campbell in year two 90 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: is gonna be a lot like the guy who thought 91 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: we were gonna get last year. So I am very 92 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: high in Paris Campbell as a sneaky play. That said, 93 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: still plenty of rome for Michael Pittman to get on 94 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: the field. Sure he comps similar to a Philip Rivers 95 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: old teammate of Mike Williams, who in San Diego and 96 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: l A was a huge red zone target for for 97 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: Rivers who who likes to target both the tight end 98 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: and the big bodied wide receivers in the end zone. 99 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: And that's not t Y Hilton's game. That's definitely a 100 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman's game. So I like him as a red 101 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: zone threat and He's definitely a guy that if I'm 102 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: looking at Best Ball leagues, I could see those games 103 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: coming this year where he might lay a few stinkers 104 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: throughout the year, But in a Best Ball league he 105 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: might be one of those guys who gets a touchdown 106 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: or two uh in four or five different games this year. 107 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: So I kind of like that as a possible wide 108 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: receiver flex starter in Best Ball leagues this year. I 109 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: do too. The concern for Michael Pittman long term is 110 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: we don't know who the quarterback is next year, so 111 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: that's you know, that part could be a bigger issue 112 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: for him down the road. But for this season, those 113 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: big body guys you mentioned it, the touchdown numbers can 114 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: be there. And for Philip Rivers you mentioned Mike Williams. 115 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: Remember before that Vincent Jackson, that big bodied receiver that um, 116 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: many of us we waited a long time from to 117 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: finally break out. He finally did, had some big seasons, 118 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: ended up leaving and then did nothing. But um, that's 119 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: another big body guy that has worked with Philip Rivers 120 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: in the past. Let's go to the next on the Colts. 121 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: I just wanted to mention, do you think there's a 122 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: chance that Andrew Luck returns to the NFL maybe after 123 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: this following year, because they signed Rivers for the year. 124 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: I think he might even be under contract for two. 125 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: But it kind of leaves the door open for Andrew 126 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: Luck to possibly come back someday. I'm not saying no, 127 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: but he's made a hundred million dollars. I just don't think. 128 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that he has any 129 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: any reason too. But you know, I don't have any 130 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: uncanny insight into where what his mind state is. But 131 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't need the money. I know that, so I 132 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: don't I don't think Andrew Luck is gonna come back, 133 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: but man, that would be that'd be awfully nice because 134 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: it's really sad how it ended there. For sure, let's 135 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: go to Jacksonville. Uh. Laviska Chanal is one of my 136 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: favorite players in this draft with I think just enormous 137 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: game changing upside if things can work out for him. 138 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: He was incredibly productive for Colorado and maybe the most 139 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: explosive playmaker in this entire draft, which is saying a 140 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,559 Speaker 1: lot when you've got guys like Ceedee Lamb and Henry 141 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: Ruggs and Jerry Judy. He's the explosiveness is there for 142 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: Laviska Chanald how do you how do you like his 143 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: the way he will fit into the Jaguars. I mean, 144 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: if we went back to our earlier conversation on these 145 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: day to wide receivers, I didn't really like Chanult that 146 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: much because I feel like he's a little bit too 147 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: gadgety for me as a as a fantasy player. He's got, 148 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: you know, the shades of Percy Harvin on the upside, 149 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: but he could comp out more like cor Darrel Patterson 150 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: and that's the thing that kind of scares me about Chinault. 151 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: But you can't deny the speed, and you can't deny 152 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: the playmaking ability. But everybody loves d J. Chark as 153 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: the top wide receiver there. Outside of that, d D. 154 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: Westbrook is definitely beat Herble for playing time and the 155 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: Jags just let Marquise Lee go onto New England. Uh 156 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask, is Justin Blackman still under 157 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: contract for the Jaguars. I think he is, but uh 158 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: Chenault probably figures in as the second target maybe or 159 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: or or a guy who could get six touches a 160 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: game something like that, and that's fantasy viable aside from 161 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: the dubious quarterbacking in Jacksonville. This is an awesome landing 162 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: spot for Laviska Chenalt. He walks in with virtually no 163 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: competition to beat DJ Chark is gonna Is is got 164 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: deep playmaking speed. Chanlt is so strong and big bodied. 165 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: He can catch over the middle of the field with 166 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: with DJ Shark opening up the middle of the field 167 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: for him, and I think there's a lot of good 168 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: a lot of good things that can come from that. 169 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: He broke forty four tackles the last two years, the 170 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: most of any receiver in this rookie class. I think 171 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: he is a is a potential absolute fine for fantasy owners, 172 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: and let's just hope the quarterbacking is a requisite of 173 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: it in Jacksonville. I'm I'm pretty high on on Chennault, 174 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: and I think there's uh I think he could be 175 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: a very helpful fantasy player if if things go well. Now, 176 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: he did have a variety of injuries in college, but 177 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: none of them were severe. It was just the kind 178 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: that would knock you out from a game here and there, 179 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: a couple of games, or you play hurt through it. 180 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: That's it's definitely a soft player. Is that That's what 181 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: that's what it sounds like. He's not. He's not as 182 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: tough and and manly as the Mississippi mustache Gardner Minshew though, 183 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: well no, but can't believe you said dubious quarterbacking they 184 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: got Minshew. That's all. That's what I mean, exactly what 185 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: I mean. Uh. Then the next player taken in this 186 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: loaded second round of the NFL draft, the next receiver taken, 187 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: kJ Hamdler from Denver. This was Denver's just loaded on offense. 188 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they went Jerry Judy and then 189 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: they go with kJ Hamler. Now I'm not that high 190 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: on handler, uh, Handler, and I'm I'm worried about all 191 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: the drops in college. We've seen a lot of players 192 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: come to the NFL with drop problems that just don't 193 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: get better. Um, he's really small. I think he can 194 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: only play the slot. I think his upside is Tavon 195 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: Austin at best. And that's gonna mean from a fantasy standpoint. 196 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: In my eyes, he's like a best ball guy. You 197 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: just you hope that you you have you've picked. You 198 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: know there's gonna be four games a year where kJ 199 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: Hamdler can make a difference, and you hope that you 200 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: had him in your starting lineup. Well is I mean 201 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: when you list off the guys in that offense right 202 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: now for skill position players, it's Courtland Sutton, Jerry Judy, 203 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: Noah Fanse, Melvin Gordon, Philip Lindsay. I think all five 204 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: of those guys I would rather target over kJ Hamler 205 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: in the passing game. So he's He's definitely the sixth 206 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: option in in a team that would only play five 207 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: options at a time. But this is definitely the most 208 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: exciting skill position group maybe Denver has ever had. Um Well, 209 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, if you go back, you're 210 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: too young to remember the three amigos, Vance Johnson, Mark 211 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: Jackson and Ricky Natil. I'm telling you those guys were good. 212 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: This was you know, there was Elway throw into those guys. 213 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: Were they good or were they John Elway past catchers? 214 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is Drew Lock if he's average at 215 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: at worst, this is a really good skill position group 216 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: right here. It is. It is a good skill position 217 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: set for sure. And Drew Lock. I mean, what I 218 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: kind of love about this is You're no, You're never 219 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: gonna be able to go back and look at Drew 220 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: Locks career and say they didn't give him enough help. 221 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: Absolutely not from Aaron Rodgers syndrome. Correct. Correct. The next 222 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: player taken was another big body guy, Chase Claypool goes 223 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and there was some talk that 224 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: they were that some teams were gonna We're gonna turn 225 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: him into a tight end, but the Steelers should come 226 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: out and said, no, he's gonna be a wide receiver 227 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: for us. And that really tells you a little bit 228 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: about the big body that Chase Claypool has got. You know, 229 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: I both of us really kind of liked Claypool from 230 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: just the size and ability standpoint. Not super fast, but uh, 231 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, just just a huge body over the middle. 232 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: But the depth chart is where it loses me in 233 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh because I don't really want Chase Claypool in this system. 234 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: He gets to battle with Juju Smith, Schuster, Deonte Johnson 235 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: and James washing And for snaps, and those are three 236 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: decent wide receivers right there, with Juju being a great one. 237 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: And then he's got Vance McDonald and Eric Ebron filling 238 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: the tight end spots. And Ebron was, you know, a 239 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: good pass catcher in the last few years. Even Jalen 240 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: Samuel's kind of fits in as one of those weird 241 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: flex players who's played running back and tight end. So 242 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: we need to clear some guys off of this roster 243 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: for Chase Claypool to be able to play. And I 244 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: don't think that I would be drafting him in redraft leagues, 245 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: but I think he's a super interesting dynasty stash because 246 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: once a few of these names clear off of this roster, 247 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: I think Claypool could be ah. He could be a 248 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: good find. There's already rumors out there that Juju Smith 249 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: Schuster is not gonna not gonna get a second contract 250 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: with the Steelers, which would be at this time last 251 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: year would have been unthinkable. And maybe people are overreacting 252 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: to what happened last year with the likes of Duck 253 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: Hodges throwing one hoppers his way. But this is a 254 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: make or break year for Juju Smith Schuster, and if 255 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't pay and out, that could open the door 256 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: for Chase Claypool in a big way. When we come back, 257 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: we will talk about another of the players who I 258 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,479 Speaker 1: do not like as much as the team that drafted him. 259 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: Find out why Van Jefferson worries me. For the Los 260 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. When we come back, it's Fantasy Football Weekly. 261 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,359 Speaker 1: I'm Paul Charchi and my co host is Matt Harrison. 262 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: We're breaking down the second set of wide receivers taken 263 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: in the draft. We already did a previous show on 264 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: the first round receivers. Now we're looking at this massive 265 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: second round of wide receivers and a few of the 266 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: guys that were taking in later rounds that we think 267 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: are worth mentioning as well. We turn our attention now 268 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: to Van Jefferson for the Rams. Tell people a little 269 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: bit about that landing spot for Van Jefferson, and then 270 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: I'll talk a little bit about why I'm not necessarily 271 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: crazy about him. Well, Brandon Cooks leaves a hole in 272 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: the depth chart, so that's a nice thing. Van Jefferson 273 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: factor and as the other guy along the outside with 274 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: Robert Woods likely manning the other outside position and Cooper 275 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: Cup in the slot. UH and Brandon Cooks, I mean 276 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: up and down career in the with the Rams. Uh 277 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: specifically with the concussions, but he did put up a 278 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: couple of nice games, not really that many last year, 279 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: but in UH, Cooks did put up some some glimmering 280 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: hope numbers. So, I mean, I guess that Jefferson's interesting 281 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: from that perspective, But we didn't even preview him as 282 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: one of the UH top guys going. I think he 283 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: was outside of our top twelve wide receivers when we 284 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: did our earlier show. So what do you like and 285 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: not like about Van Jefferson? Charge? I only like one thing, 286 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: and that's his ability to get some separation deep um 287 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: and he's got some explosiveness to him. So I guess 288 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: maybe that's two things. But there's a lot that I 289 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: don't like about Van Jefferson. Low productivity in college, he's 290 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: not physical. Contact knocks him off his routes. He needs 291 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: to add weight and strength, which maybe he can do. 292 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: But a lot of the times when guys have to 293 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: add weight and strength, we're talking about a twenty one 294 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: year old. He's twenty three already, and I don't know 295 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: how much more he's gonna build into that frame to 296 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: try to get bigger and stronger. He's never been in 297 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: yards after catch guy. I mean, so you know, you're 298 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: all those things together, and I think Van Jefferson is 299 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: is going to be a high risk. Well, I think 300 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: he was a high risk pick for the Rams. You 301 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: will be if your fantasy team as well. And I 302 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: would not pin my hopes on on him necessarily emerging 303 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: out of that depth chart as being a primary factor 304 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: at least no time soon. And I think his game 305 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: has got to come together in a lot of ways. 306 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: Let's go over to Denzel Mims, a guy that many 307 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: people thought would go at the end of the first round. Potentially, 308 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: this is the speedster who goes over to the Jets 309 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: where they've got a lot of opportunity to start, and 310 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: Denzel Mims probably on the field opening day Week one, 311 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: in the starting lineup for the Jets, Yeah, I think so. Um, 312 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: he enters an offense that lost, uh, one of their 313 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: top two pass catchers and Robbie Anderson, and the other one, 314 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder, plays exclusively out of the slot. Um. The 315 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: other outside receivers Breshad Perriman, who has a first round 316 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: pedigree but has really only shown you know, three games 317 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: of fantasy viability his entire career, and they all came 318 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: at the end of last season. So uh, if you 319 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: believe that that was a flash in the pan, because 320 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were hurt at the tail 321 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: end of last year. Then Denzel Mims suddenly becomes a 322 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: pretty interesting there. I really liked him. I was surprised 323 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: that he lasted to the end of the second round. 324 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: It would have been I think he should have gone 325 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: ahead of a lot of these guys that we mentioned. 326 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: I probably would have put him as the at least 327 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: in the conversation and the top three wide receivers that 328 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: should have been picked in the second round. But Chinn, 329 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: Alton Hamler, and Claypool and Jefferson went ahead of him. 330 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: So but I do like the landing spot because they 331 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: really gotta get some targets going. There's a lot of 332 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: vacated targets in New York. Bris Shot Payraman is on 333 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: a one year deal, and I think that's important because 334 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: Payraman's deal is straight line speed. Denzel MIM's deal is 335 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: straight line speed. And so while this year that when 336 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: they're on the field together, um because they're so similar, 337 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 1: I worried that defenses will play back, try to take 338 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: away the speed zone deep zone coverage, and it may 339 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: be that the pairman just gets a lot more balls. 340 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: But under a one year deal, I could see next 341 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: year you know, Mims is the go to downfield receiver 342 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: with Pairman gone, and that might be more of a 343 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: twenty one play than a twenty play. Um, he was 344 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: very he was he was productive, and he had lots 345 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: of great plays at Baylor with an amazing combine, very 346 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: productive Senior Bowl and a good Senior Bowl week of 347 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: practice as well. But there's a lot of people who 348 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: feel like he's also very raw and that Baylor didn't 349 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: use him in a sophisticated way, asking him to run 350 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: sophisticated routes. And that made me that he's got another 351 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: reason to think one will be a better year for 352 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: Denzel Mims than necessarily twenty twenty. So I think that 353 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: to me is more of a Dynasty pick, Matt. Yeah, 354 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: I think I can. I can see that, And I'm 355 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: kind of hoping that Adam Gaze has gone from New 356 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: York after this year, which would probably usher in a 357 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: new offensive mind there that UH can really open things 358 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: up a little bit for Sam Donald and crew. So, yeah, 359 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: Mims is definitely a guy that's a stash in Dynasty's 360 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, I think so too. Let's go to 361 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: UH some of the players. Now, all those receivers who 362 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: have talked about. They all won the second round. That's 363 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: just the second round, which is crazy seven of them. 364 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: Let's go to some of the other we've hand picked 365 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: for other receivers that we want to talk about, uh, 366 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: that we think could make a difference or at least 367 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: be notable. Let's begin with Devin DuVernay, who ends up 368 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: going to the Ravens, and this is an opportunity to 369 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: get some playing time because that was a very unproductive 370 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: group of wide receivers last year. Yeah, outside of Hollywood Brown, 371 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,719 Speaker 1: it's pretty much open for business for diverne Um. All 372 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: you gotta do is be about Miles Boykin and Chris Moore. 373 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean that doesn't sound that difficult. I feel like 374 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: thirty nine year old Matt Harrison might be able to 375 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: uh muscle them out for a few targets in the office. Well, 376 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: I'll mention that. Let me mention one thing about Miles 377 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: Boyken and and you know, they probably won't work out 378 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,239 Speaker 1: for him basement. We saw a rookie year, but that 379 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: guy is a crazy athlete, and we knew that it 380 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: was going to be a longer runway for him to 381 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: maybe acclimate to the NFL. But you know, if you're 382 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: a believer in in in spark s P A r Q, 383 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: he is a crazy, crazy spark specimen and people loved 384 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: him coming out of the combine last year. So I'm 385 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: not totally writing off Myles Boyken quite yet, is the point. No, 386 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: it's too early to write him off. He's in his 387 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: second year. So uh, Daverne is interesting that they did 388 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: lose some some targets with Hayden Hurst being traded to Atlanta, 389 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: So uh, there's a little bit of opportunity there, and 390 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: you think that they probably want to get Lamar Jackson 391 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: to throw the ball just a little bit more every 392 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: year of his career, maybe take a couple of hits 393 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: off of his body. So uh, I would imagine that 394 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: they're going to target their wide receivers just a little 395 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: bit more this year too, Yeah, I would. I would 396 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: not be surprised if that ends up being the case. Now. 397 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: One concern that I've got for Devon DuVernay is he's 398 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: a He's a slot receiver, and they run Marquise Hollywood 399 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: Brown about a third of his his his runs, his 400 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: routes have come from the slot, so you know, there 401 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: might be a little bit of a battle there for 402 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: a time in the slot. But um, the good news 403 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: is that two thirds of of Marquise Hollywood Brown's stuff 404 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: came from the outside, so DuVernay should be able to 405 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: get some get some time on this excellent hands shorter 406 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: and thicker than most wide receivers, which makes them tough 407 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: to tackle, and the opportunity, as you mentioned, is certainly there. Matt, 408 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: let's go to ourn ex receiver somebody. A lot of 409 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: people are really high and it feels like every everybody 410 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: always taught put this guy on their team as a 411 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: as this late potential star wide receiver. But he ended 412 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: up going fairly early. And that's Brian Edwards for who 413 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: goes to the Las Vegas Raiders. Tell people about that fit. Well, 414 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: it's funny because the Raiders picked uh pick sixteen and 415 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: pick seventeen in the third round, and they took wide 416 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: receiver Lynn Bowden out of Kentucky and wide receiver Brian 417 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: Edwards out of South Carolina in back to back picks. Now, 418 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: they did convert Bowden to running back, but that was 419 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: there at the there in the middle part of the 420 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: third round, and they've already drafted three wide receivers. What 421 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: are they doing defense? They need any defense? So they're five. No, 422 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 1: they don't need that at all. Uh, I mean Edwards 423 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: could feature pretty heavily as an option besides Henry Ruggs 424 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: and Tyrrell Williams. Um. I mean it's all about his health, right. 425 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: He was the guy who was dinged up for most 426 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: of last year and uh if if he's healthy. Everybody 427 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: seemed to think that he was late first early second 428 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: round pick, but he couldn't couldn't stay on the field. 429 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: So uh, Edwards is definitely an interesting guy there. Yeah, 430 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: he broke his foot in February, so you're gonna have 431 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: to really monitor his offseason and how that foot rehabs. 432 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: For if you're thinking about Brian Edwards as a potential 433 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: starter for your fantasy team in Week one, which you're 434 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: probably not. He's a rookie. Most wider workie wide receivers aren't, 435 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: but somebody you'll you'll have to watch that broken foot. 436 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: There's um, there's a lot to like. He's got really 437 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: good ball skills. He wins a lot of contested catches. 438 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: He's a bigger bodied guy, he can break some tackles. 439 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: He's a finisher. There, there is a lot to like. 440 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: He finished it, by the way, as South Carolina is 441 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: all time leader in receiving yards Brian Edwards and um, 442 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: and he makes some beautiful leaping catches that are almost 443 00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham like Brian Edwards. It's um, it's not who 444 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: are crazy to talk about him in that in that 445 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: kind of breath, I encourage you to check out that 446 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: Brian Edwards highlights. Let's go to the final wide receiver 447 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: for us to chat about here, Antonio Gibson, who goes 448 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: to Washington and will also be converted to a running back. Yeah, 449 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: he's already on uh listed on my fantasy league as 450 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: a running back already, and uh, it's really good when 451 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: you're head coach who used to coach Christian McCaffrey compares 452 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: you to Christian McCaffrey right off the bat, that gets on. 453 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: I'm doing a startup auction right now for a dynasty league, 454 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: and in a two d dollar cap, Antonio Gibson's going 455 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: for seven eight bucks, which it's it's kind of shocking 456 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: to me because there's a lot of guys in front 457 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: of him on that depth chart. We have Adrian Peterson, 458 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: we have Darius Geissh. We have Peyton Barber who just 459 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: recently signed there. I believe there's one more on Washington 460 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: depth chart too, but uh, obviously they like Antonio Gibson 461 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: quite a bit. You don't get thrown around with the 462 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: name Christian McCaffrey very often if you're not a half 463 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: decent player. And they let Chris Thompson go, who's been 464 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: their sort of designated past catcher for the past three 465 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: or four years, and you know, with him gone, that 466 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: really does open the past catching role, if nothing else 467 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: to Antonio Gibson, who obviously has a converted wide receiver 468 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: now playing running back, can catch. Two more guys they mentioned. 469 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: I thought Gibson was the last guy up, but it's not. 470 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: I got two more guys who want to touch on, 471 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: at least briefly. Quintess SFAs, who ends up going to 472 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: the Lions. What have you got on him, Well, he's 473 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,959 Speaker 1: on a Wisconsin had a pretty good career there. But 474 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: the interesting thing, if you're looking at a dynasty stash, 475 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: Quintez Cifas will be the only wide receiver under contract 476 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 1: for the Lions in one all of their wide receivers 477 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: have their contracts come up this year. And don't forget 478 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: they traded Golden Tate a couple of years back. They 479 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: could trade Marvin Owns. Kenny Golladay's coming up on a 480 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: contract here too. I though I'm pat sure that they're 481 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: going to resign him. They can't let him go. But 482 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: quintest Cifa's is the only wide receiver that will be 483 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: under contract in season as of right now. So uh 484 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: and if they do trade Marvin Jones, which that's that 485 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: seems like reasonable that you would trade, you know, a 486 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: veteran guy like that, cifas could could suddenly be thrust 487 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: into the starting lineup and uh and and the the 488 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: second half of the season, he could really get some 489 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: balls there, so maybe we don't have to wait for one. 490 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: But if nothing else, you figure he's he He looks 491 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: like the probably probable starter next season, if not this year. 492 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: Last guy I want to mention, Tyler Johnson from Minnesota, 493 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: goes to Tampa Bay. Brashade Pereman leaves a an opening 494 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: for him there. Now. Johnson was a very pro ready 495 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: highly productive player for Minnesota. Chose to skip the combine, 496 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: which gave people a lot of concern, especially about his 497 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: overall speed. But that depth chart for Tampa is kind 498 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: of wide open. They got Godwin playing the slot, you 499 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: got Mike Evans outside the other outside receiver. It could 500 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: easily be Tyler Johnson beating out Justin Watson or Scott Miller. 501 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: It could be Tyler Johnson or sooner than later. It's 502 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: no coincidence that the Minnesota Golden Gophers finished their season 503 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: in Raymond James Stadium, winning a bowl game over Auburn, 504 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: and both Tyler Johnson and Antonio Winfield Junior go to 505 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in the draft. So obviously Bruce arians was 506 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: in attendance at that game and was super impressed by 507 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: Tyler Johnson. So, uh, I think he's got a good 508 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: opening there. The offense should be should be great. Uh 509 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: I just wonder if there's enough targets to go around 510 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: with Evans, Godwin, Gronk, O J. Howard and the running backs. 511 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: Is there enough room for Tyler Johnson to be a 512 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 1: factor this year. I don't know if there is, And uh, 513 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 1: I know that we're from Minnesota. It's kind of a 514 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: homer pick for us, but uh man, I just don't 515 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: think that Tyler Johnson's gonna factor from a fantasy perspective 516 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: this year. No, uh, it'll be you won't have to 517 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: worry about good quarterbacking. He'll get plenty of that from 518 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. But Tyler Johnson is probably the sixth most 519 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: popular target for Tom Brady and Tampa Bay and that 520 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: will limit his limit, his reliability and his upside for 521 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: fantasy owners. Great job today, thank you, Matt. Terrific job 522 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: of breaking down these players, and we've had a ton 523 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: of fun looking at some of the impact players that 524 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: have come out of the draft. We'll start turning our 525 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: attention in the forthcoming shows to UH Dynasty and Empire 526 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: League players as well. That'll be a lot of fun. 527 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: We've mostly been talking redraft since the draft and even 528 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: before the draft, and we haven't spent a lot of 529 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: time on that. Looking forward to getting to that. We'll 530 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: start talking more and more Guillotine League information as well. 531 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: That's coming up, So plenty more coming on Fantasy Football 532 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: over the forthcoming weeks.
