1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntire.

2
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: What is up straight Fire Fame. It's me Jason McIntyre,

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Friday, August the twenty ninth. Boy, it

4
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: has been a crazy week. I mean, oh my gosh,

5
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: so much happening. And then of course the bomb drops,

6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: a nuclear bomb drops on the NFL. On Thursday, Michael

7
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: Parsons traded from the Cowboys, Oh dear, oh dear, to

8
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. So there's a lot here. First,

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: let me just mentioned we have a great podcast today

10
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: with fantasy god gawd Evan Silva from his website established

11
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: the Run. If you're not using Evan, well you're missing out.

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: The guy's good. You're gonna love this stuff today. Okay,

13
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: we'll get to Evan in a minute. Just let me

14
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: riff on Parsons for sac So I just want to

15
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: rattle off the last let's see one, two, three, four

16
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: or five six. So the last six times the Dallas

17
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: Cowboys have been in the playoffs. Here are their losses.

18
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: The last time they were in the playoffs, Oh that's right,

19
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: they lost it home to the Green Bay Packers forty

20
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: eight thirty two. Then the lost of the year before

21
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: that was to the Niners nineteen twelve. Everybody remembers that. Obviously.

22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: The year before that was the devastating Dak Prescott ran

23
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: out of timeouts, they lose to the Niners, So you

24
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: lose Packers, Niners, Niners. Then they lost to the Rams

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: thirty twenty two. That was the game with the Rams

26
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: rush for like two hundred and fifty yards. The year

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: before that lost to the Packers thirty four to thirty one.

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers drawing up a play in the dirt. Oh,

29
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: by the way, that was in Dallas as well. And

30
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: then the year before that was the des Bryant caught it,

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: but they ruled no catch. We don't know what it catches.

32
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: So three of day Dallas' last six playoff losses are

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: to the Green Bay Packers, and the Dallas Cowboys just

34
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: went and traded their best defensive player, you could argue

35
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 2: their best or second best overall player to the Green

36
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: Bay Packers, the team that has continued to confound them

37
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. What this is a funny, funny thing

38
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: I saw on ig Jerry Jones trading his best player

39
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: because he didn't respect a handshake deal like a railroad

40
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: salesman from eighteen seventy three. Listen, I know Cowboys fans

41
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: are like, well, we don't have to pay him forty

42
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: seven million dollars a year. Oh okay, and is that salary?

43
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: And say, yeah, it is. I need to see the details.

44
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: As always, the devil is in the details. Dallas gets

45
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: in return the Packers' first round pick twenty six and

46
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: twenty seven, an aging defensive tackle who will add to

47
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: the Cowboys front no doubt. But the reality is like

48
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: they lose Michael Parsons, their best pass rusher by a mile.

49
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: The Green Bay Packers now have Micah Parsons opposite Rashaan Gary. Now,

50
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: Gary was drafted in the first round, Michigan guy. He

51
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: had a couple really good years and then he hasn't

52
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: been as amazing the last couple of years. I'll tell

53
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: you right now. They you can't double team anybody on

54
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: that defensive line or you or you're gonna get totally screwed.

55
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: They have excellent linebackers. Kay Walker out of Georgia is excellent.

56
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: And who's the other guy? The kid Edge Cooper from

57
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: Texas A and m really showed well last year. So

58
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: this Packer's defense remember they lost their top cornerback, so

59
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: they need to develop more of a pass rush. They've

60
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: got a really good safety and Xavier McKinney, the kid

61
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: out of Alabama. This is going to be an excellent defense.

62
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: If you remember, when Ta was on the pod in

63
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: early August, his pick to come out of the NFC

64
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: was Green Bay. That was before the acquis position of

65
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: a top four defensive edge rusher. Folks, the Packers are

66
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: going to be really freaking good this year, and if

67
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: you put.

68
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: Money on them.

69
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: When Ta said he likes the Packers in the Super Bowl, great,

70
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: I'm the moron who, for some reason, I have all

71
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: these tickets about futures Super Bowl X versus Y. I don't.

72
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: I just checked. I don't have one with the Packers

73
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 2: in it. That's just brook City. I gotta be honest, like, Okay, sure,

74
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: Dallas Scott an you know, two ones and a player wonderful,

75
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: But what's their upside? They're not going anywhere anytime soon.

76
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: First of all, they're not even great this year. Maybe

77
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: they win some shootouts because Lamb's healthy, Dack's healthy, and

78
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: Pickens keeps his head in line because he's playing for

79
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: a contract. But the reality is the Green Bay Packers

80
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: got really, really good. They're all in right now if

81
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: Jordan Love can stay upright, I think Lafleur has a

82
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: potential super Bowl team in the Green At Packers. And

83
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 2: you know, Ceedee Lamb was not happy on social media

84
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: about losing Michael Parsons. I don't see how anybody in

85
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: Dallas could be. I got a buddy who texted me,

86
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm crying over here, and I said why and he

87
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: goes Michaeh Parsons got traded because Jerry Jones is a moron.

88
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: And essentially, Jerry Jones like got in a spat, couldn't

89
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: get over it, crashed out and traded him. I mean,

90
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: this kind of spiraled fast now. According to Micah Parsons,

91
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: his after the the rumor about the trade leaked that

92
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: the Cowboys were looking to trade him and maybe the

93
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 2: Packers were interested Michah Parsons. According to Jane Slater, who's

94
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: covered the Cowboys forever, she spoke to Micah and according

95
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: to Jane Slater, Micah and his agent went to the

96
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 2: Cowboys about an extension with quote empathy. The Cowboys response,

97
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: according to Parsons, was play on the fifth year or leave.

98
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I find that very hard to believe that

99
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: the Cowboys would be so short sighted to say play

100
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: on your fifth year or leave. I don't know, guys,

101
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I don't want to make this political

102
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: and say that, you know, Jerry sees a certain guy

103
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: and the president just popping off us constantly on social

104
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: media and just doing whatever the hell he wants and

105
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: saying whatever, Like, you can't do that as an NFL owner. Okay,

106
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: Jerry Stepp didn't here, and yeah, they don't have to

107
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: pay Micael wonderful. But if they had traded him a

108
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: year ago when I said get rid of Micah, then

109
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: you get a haul, you know, maybe then you get

110
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: a bidding war started. Who were the Packers bidding against you?

111
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: Like?

112
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: That's bad business for such a good businessman? How was

113
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: this good business? You didn't try to play I don't know,

114
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: the Bengals against the Packers against this? You don't want

115
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: to get him out of the conference of the AFC.

116
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: I just I just think Jerry bungled this. But then again,

117
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: I'm known as a hater. Anyways, without further ado, let's

118
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: get to our guest. Establish the run Fantasy football legend,

00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: what sports fans want, but for everything he doesn't. He

126
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: knows a guy who does.

127
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: Let's just say, I know a guy who knows the

128
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: guy who knows another guy. All right, let's welcome back

129
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: to straight Fire, one of the fantasy legends in the industry.

130
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: Everybody has their drafts coming up either this weekend next week.

131
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: We are inside a week to play to the start

132
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: of the NFL season. Everybody stoked, so Evansilva joining us.

133
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: He is I mean, honestly, he is one of the

134
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: harder workers. And I love the fact that this fantasy

135
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: guy is in Chicago. Sees one one of my takes

136
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: on Caleb Williams and the Chicago people are like, bro,

137
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: you're an idiot. While you are, it's just they're killing me.

138
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: And here's mister established the run firing dude. I love

139
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: this take, So tell me are you where are you

140
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: on the Bears.

141
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm really on the fence. I think that

142
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: anyone that pretends like they know exactly how this is

143
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 3: going to go is not being truthful. I mean, the

144
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: situation is not fixed. They don't even know who their

145
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: starting left tackle is at this point. You know, a

146
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 3: brand new offense and it's a complex offense. And Ben

147
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: Johnson is trying to get Caleb Williams to play under center,

148
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 3: and he's never played under center, like almost in his

149
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: entire football playing career. They don't have, you know, a

150
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 3: true feature back on offense. They've got a ton of

151
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: injuries in the secondary. Jalen Johnson is questionable for Week one.

152
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: They don't even know for sure who the number two

153
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 3: corner is going to be. It's easy to build a case,

154
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 3: a skeptical case about the Chicago Bears for twenty twenty five.

155
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: There's so much optimism about him in this city. And

156
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 3: I just I'm not gonna say that your take was right.

157
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 3: You lit the Internet on fire with your take about

158
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams, But I mean I kind of understand what

159
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: you're saying. I mean, you were not entirely off base.

160
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that. It just feels like Ben

161
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: is trying to totally fix Caleb. And remember he was

162
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: a backyard football guys. Final year at USC, he was

163
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: a backyard football guy. Last year in the NFL, took

164
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: sixty eight sacks. So two years of basically, hey man,

165
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: run around and make us plays all of a sudden,

166
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: that's going to be fixed quickly. I don't And Ben

167
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: Johnson's never been a head coach, but it's not like

168
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 2: he can only focus on the quarterback. He's got a

169
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: lot of shit to do.

170
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben Johnson is the kind of guy rightfully, So,

171
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: I mean he's got a great offense or great offensive

172
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: system once his quarterback to execut his system. Thinking about

173
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: Jared Golf, it's like the ultimate system quarterback, you know,

174
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 3: where it's Caleb Williams. His whole career has been built

175
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: on making plays outside of the system, outside of the structure.

176
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 3: So I mean, you can see a lot of ways

177
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: that this could go south. They also did extend Tyson Beijing.

178
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 3: There's someone promising backup before the season, you know, showing

179
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: some faith in him. There by is in Week five.

180
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: I think that these first four games are going to

181
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 3: be really really interesting.

182
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: Odds that he's benched before Halloween for Tyson Beaje, and I.

183
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: Still got to go pretty low. I mean I'll do

184
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: ten percent.

185
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's that's not nothing. All right, let's get

186
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: to fantasy. I forget who was on, but somebody basically

187
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: said b Jhon Robinson has to go number one. I'm

188
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: just curious, and I know this is granular, but they've

189
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 2: got some offensive line issues suddenly right back done for

190
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: the season. Does Bjon still go number one overall for you?

191
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: No? He is number two overall for me, and I

192
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: could see taking Jamar Chase or Ceedee Lamb over him.

193
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: I have Jamior Gibbs as the number one overall player

194
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: this year. This offensive line situation for Atlanta, it happened

195
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: really late in the process, and it is major Caleb

196
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: McGarry who's the buckle starting right tackle. But because Michael

197
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 3: Penix is left handed, is really the blind side tackle

198
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: for Michael Pennix is out for the year and his

199
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: backup Storm Norton.

200
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: Oh no, just underwent.

201
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: Ankle surgery in the sideline four to eight weeks.

202
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 2: Well, he was terrible with the Chargers anyway.

203
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: Oh listen, he's not good, but he is the backup.

204
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: But I mean, now we're digging into guys that are

205
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: even below him on the depth chart, so it's kind

206
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: of a terrifying situation all of a sudden. Kayleb mcgeary

207
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: also was a great run blocker, which hurts Bjonre. I mean, look,

208
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, we want touches in

209
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: fantasy football, and Bjohn Robinson is really talented, very good

210
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: in the passing game. He's gonna get a ton of touches.

211
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: He's gonna be good in fantasy. But yeah, I mean

212
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit more concerned, Like we took away

213
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: some points from the Falcons offensive projection when Caleb McGarry

214
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 3: and Swilart went out.

215
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: Not ideal. Now I did it. I thought I heard

216
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: you say Chase or Lamb as the number one overall.

217
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: So Lamb needs to make way now for Pickens, who

218
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: we know is going to be like the downfield threat,

219
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 2: and he's playing for a contract, so he's going to

220
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: be incentivized to be like Dak hook me up. And

221
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 2: then you know what about Justin Jefferson. He's really the

222
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: only guy. I guess Adam Delon is there now. Addison

223
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: suspended for a minute but he's dealing with the rookie

224
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: quarterback right, So by does it make sense to have

225
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: Chase as your number one overall? I don't know.

226
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 3: I have Gibbs as number one overall.

227
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: Oh Gibbs, Okay, I'll.

228
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: Just tell you exactly what my top six are, because

229
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 3: I have like a tier of six players, and it

230
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: is Gibbs at one, it is Vijon at two, it

231
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: is Chase at three, Ceedee Lamb at four. Those guys

232
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: are interchangeable to me, Saquan at five, and then Justin

233
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: Jefferson at six, and then I think you can start

234
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: talking about Christian McCaffrey. Yeah, I mean Ceedee Lamb. The

235
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: last time that Dak Prescott played a full season in

236
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, Ceedee Lamb at one hundred and thirty

237
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 3: five catches and was the number one overall fantasy receiver.

238
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: And I think that George fit and I think the

239
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 3: Cowboys are gonna throw the crap out of the ball

240
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 3: this year. They don't have a Pieter back on their roster.

241
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: Their defense is gonna give up a ton of points.

242
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: So they're gonna they play in at you know, they

243
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: play indoors. Ceedee Lam's gonna have an absolute monster season.

244
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 3: I think he's got as good a chance as anyone

245
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 3: to be the number one overall scoring player in fantasy,

246
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 3: not just receiver.

247
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: Hm. I I guess Chase to me is I love

248
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: that call because they have no defense whatsoever, and you

249
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 2: know they're gonna always be chucking and ducking with Burrow.

250
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 2: I am curious about Saquon. You have him at five.

251
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: He's coming off a historically great season. But he had

252
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: three hundred and seventy eight touches. Now. I know that

253
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 2: the magic number used to be three seventy and that

254
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: could be archaic, but that might have been just rushes.

255
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: But three seventy eight is a massive number. And don't

256
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: forget he had postseason touches as well. I mean, do

257
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: you see the Eagles maybe pulling back a little to

258
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: save him and using Will Shipley a little more?

259
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: He uning the playoffs. Sekwon Barkley had four hundred and

260
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: eighty two touches last year, And if you go back

261
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: and watch the Super Bowl, like Sekwon Barkley didn't look

262
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: very good in the Super Bowl, So I you know,

263
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: I wonder and I remember that one year that DeMarco

264
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: Murray had a million touches for Dallas and IF and

265
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: I went back and watched his like late season games,

266
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: and he just looked at of gas. And then they

267
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: let him go and he went to the Titans, and

268
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: he was out of gas, you know. And I think

269
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: that they might scale Saquon Barkley back a little bit,

270
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 3: but I'm just worried about him breaking down physically. I mean,

271
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: he's not a guy who has a clean injury history.

272
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: Number one. Number two Jamiir Gibbs. So, Jamir Gibbs and

273
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: Jon Robinson were both they were born like a month

274
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: or two apart. They are both almost exactly five years

275
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: younger than Saquon Barkley.

276
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: Wow.

277
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: So I mean they're you know, like I'm going with

278
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: the guys who are a half decade younger and aren't

279
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: coming off this monumental historical workload type of season. I'm

280
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: betting on the I still I saw draft Saquon Barkley

281
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: when I'm drafted to fit, and I still even follow

282
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: to six because people are aware of this workload stuff.

283
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 3: But I'm taking Jon Robinson and Jamier Gifts over Amandez

284
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 3: two receivers Jamar Chase and Seeland.

285
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: So is it clear at this point that Gibbs and

286
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: Montgomery are not thunder and lightning. It's really Gibbs six

287
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: seventy percent, Montgomery thirty percent.

288
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: Well, you know, there's a new guy calling the shots,

289
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: you know in Detroit, and I think, you know, one

290
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: of the things that Ben Johnson did is he really

291
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: got everybody involved. He's really good about that. I mean,

292
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 3: they could do whatever they wanted because their offensive line,

293
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: their offensive line looks like it can take a step back.

294
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: They could do whatever they wanted. They kept two running

295
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: backs involved. You know, they got Jamison Williams, they got

296
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 3: Amon Ross saying brown. Tim Patrick would have his moments.

297
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: They used two tight end sets at one of the

298
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: highest rates in the league. They would you know, they

299
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 3: were throwing h they were like throwing touchdown passes to

300
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: that backup offensive tackle you know who, by the way,

301
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: got cut end of end of the end of the

302
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson era. That was kind of like a signature

303
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 3: end of the the Ben Johnson ara. I just think

304
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: that the new guy, John Orton is gonna go with

305
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: the most talented players and at the end of the day,

306
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: like he's gonna lean on Jamior gibb I also think

307
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: that the Lions are not gonna win fifteen games games.

308
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: This is one of the takes that I like that

309
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 3: you had. That you also set the internet on fire

310
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: because I fat the Lions and not make the playoffs

311
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 3: at plus one eighty and that was one of your

312
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 3: hot takes that you fired off. So, I mean, I

313
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 3: still think that they'll be like a ten win team,

314
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: but they're not going to be dominant, and they're going

315
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: to be in more competitive games, and that's I mean,

316
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 3: they're gonna want to play their best players, and that's

317
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 3: your mere gibbs By, you know, by quite at margin,

318
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 3: David Montgommers, good good football player is going to be involved.

319
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: Your gives way better.

320
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: It also feels like the two offensive linemen they lost,

321
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: including the you know rag Noow bailing it late in

322
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: the process, It's not like they have a natural fits. Yeah,

323
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: I'm a little down on the line now. Listen. I

324
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: know it sounds like based on what Evan's saying, you

325
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: know that I'm some kind of hot take artists. But again,

326
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: you every year, crazy shit happens, Sure, Evan, nobody on

327
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: planet Earth had Jayden Daniels doing what he did and

328
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: the Washington making the conference finals. Zero people had that right.

329
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 2: I don't think many people had bo Nicks get to

330
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I don't think so. So every year there's

331
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 2: a bunch of wacky shit that goes down. Do you

332
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: what's your What are some of your hot predictions, either

333
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: fantasy or otherwise that aren't cutter ship? Yeah?

334
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: I really I think the forty nine ers are gonna

335
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 3: blow it up offensively this year. I think they're gonna

336
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: have a huge offensive season. I think that Rockberdy played

337
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 3: the best fotball I don't remember because the six and eleven,

338
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 3: but Rockberdy played the best football of his career last year,

339
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 3: earned that contract. George Kittle's looking great. Ricky Piersoll is

340
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 3: like one of my highest drafted wide receivers in fennisy

341
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 3: football this year. You know, I think they're gonna figure

342
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 3: out what Juwan jenks I mean. Kyle Shanahan just has

343
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 3: a documented record of running high efficiency offenses regardless of personnel.

344
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 3: The forty nine ers also, they they're like remaking their defense.

345
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 3: You know, they drafted like seven dudes on defense, four

346
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 3: or five of whom may start. I think they get

347
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: off to. I think they'll be a shootot team early

348
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: in the year, and we're going to get a lot

349
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: of explosive performances from their offense.

350
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: Any idea if Brian Robinson or Gorndo are clearly the

351
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: number two behind seedback because I'm sure people learned their

352
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 2: lesson last year. You have to If you get Semac Barkley,

353
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: you've got a handcuff like significantly early.

354
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 3: I did Adam Schefter's podcast last week Wow on Friday,

355
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 3: and literally during the podcast he broke the Brian Robinson

356
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 3: he got a call. We had to stop the podcast

357
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 3: because he got a call, and he's like, oh, Brian

358
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: Robinson traded San Francisco for a six round pick. We

359
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 3: had to wait like ten minutes. He was like on

360
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 3: the phone. He tweeted it out one hundred percent. Brian

361
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: Robinson is the number two. They just can't trust Isaac Corena.

362
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 3: Isaac Grenda is really talented. He ever five yards per

363
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: carry as a rookie last year. You can play in

364
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: the passing game. He's very talented. They cannot trust him

365
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 3: to stay help. He was hurt, like throughout his entire

366
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: college career. He missed like all training cap with a

367
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: shoulder injury. It's one hundred percent. Bryan Robinson's one of

368
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: the best handcuffs in fantasy.

Speaker 2: Let's go to the Dolphins. They love to run the football.

374
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: Evan Silva established the run. Here's my thing. Madison is

375
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: on the IR. I just saw today. Jalen Wright, who

376
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: they seemed to like a lot, is dinged up and

377
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: he's not going to be ready to start the season.

378
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: Eight chan, I don't even know the latest. Are you

379
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: even taking a flyer on any Miami running back or

380
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 2: is it like, hey, listen, McDaniel loves to run and

381
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: finds guys. You got to have one.

382
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 3: I am avoiding Devon Hhan at this point. And the

383
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: sleeper in that backfield is Ali Gordon of Oklahoma State,

384
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 3: a big back who had an incredible twenty twenty three

385
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: say he won the Doak Walker Award twenty twenty three

386
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: at Oklahoma State. He ran for over seventeen hundred yards.

387
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 3: He's not incapable in the passing game, and I think

388
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 3: that there's a chance, like, especially if Devon a Chan

389
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: has some sort of a setback, there's a chance that

390
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: Ali Gordon could make starts early in the year and

391
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: be useful or use a bull in fantasy. I think

392
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: he's one of the best sleepers on the board right now,

393
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: all right, to.

394
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: Hold up, I'm looking up his dets. I don't remember

395
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 2: Ali Gordon finishing seventh in the Heisman, but holy snikees

396
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: seventeen hundred yards and twenty one touchdowns, but then the

397
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: following year eight hundred and eighty yards. What happened?

398
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he was hurt, you know, just it

399
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 3: wasn't it wasn't the same. You know, it wasn't the same.

400
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 3: But I mean he's just having one one prolific season

401
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 3: like that on his college resume. He should have gone pro.

402
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: People wanted him to go pro after that, the Doak

403
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: Walker Award winning season. He decided to come back and

404
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: it just didn't go his way. He should have come

405
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: out after the Doak Walker season.

406
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: Do you think he starts Week one over over Achan No.

407
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 3: I think that they're trying to get Devon Aitchen ready

408
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: to go. But this is a soft tissue. Injury that

409
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 3: occurred late in the process. Dvon a Chen is a

410
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: five eight, one hundred and eighty eight pounds little you know,

411
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: he's built like a scatback. I mean, he's a lot

412
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 3: of fun to watch, but he's so reliant on you know,

413
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 3: speed and agility, and for a guy to have a

414
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: calf injury, a guy like that to have a calf injury,

415
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: that's a little scary.

416
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: That's not good. Breeze Hall versus Braylan Allen, is it

417
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: a battle or is it clearly all It seemed like

418
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: they don't really want to pay him. Allen is only

419
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: twenty one and he has shown flashes. Where are you

420
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: on the Jets?

421
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? I really like Justin Fields this year in fantasy,

422
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 3: I've drafted a ton of him. I think he's going

423
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 3: to run for a ton of yards. I mean, he's

424
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 3: only a few seasons removed from running for eleven hundred

425
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: yards and eight touchdowns for the Bears. You go back

426
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: to the games where he played against Aaron Glenn's defenses

427
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 3: in Detroit, and he ran all over them when he

428
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: was the when he was the Bear starter. So I

429
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: think he's gonna be a lot of fun in fantasy.

430
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: I don't, you know, starter or backup.

431
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: No, I think he's a starter. I have him as Yeah,

432
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 3: I have him as the quarterback six in fantasy right now.

433
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: No, stop at six? Yeah, ahead of.

434
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, way ahead of Penis.

435
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, oh my god. Six. Okay, so obviously

436
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: the big the big guys Burrow, Josh, Lamar, right.

437
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 3: No, I have him ahead of Mahomes, Holmes hasn't Mahmes

438
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 3: hasn't been good in fantasy and in a few years.

439
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 3: Oh my, okay, hurting people, No hurts. Oh, another one

440
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 3: of your hot takes. Although that I don't think that

441
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 3: was that out of a take either. The texts were

442
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: not that hot, like.

443
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, the reaction was, I think people.

444
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 3: Are just oh, of course, no hurts. His uh hurts?

445
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 3: Is my number number four? Uh no, my number three,

446
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,479
Speaker 3: ahead of Jayden Daniels and behind Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.

447
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: So do you have Jayden Daniels regressing a little?

448
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 3: Right?

449
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 2: That's there's no real a little bit.

450
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I have him as the number four overall

451
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 3: quarterback in fantasy. I don't. I don't think he's necessarily

452
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 3: going to get better statistically. Yeah, I mean him as

453
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 3: the number four quarterback in fantas. That's pretty high.

454
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I rode Molik Neighbors to a fantasy title

455
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: last year in an auction league. It was great. I'm

456
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: looking for that guy this year. Some people are telling

457
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: me deep sleeper and this is obviously not a league Neighbors,

458
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: but this Jacory krossky Merritt fellow in Washington. That's why

459
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 2: they didn't want to pay Robinson. And now he's the

460
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 2: backup to Eckler, who has a rich injury history.

461
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jacorey krossky Merrit. I think he's The hype on

462
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 3: him has kind of gotten out of control. Oh okay, yeah,

463
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 3: he did not catch many passes in college. Chris Rodriguez

464
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: is going to be used at the goal line. Austin

465
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: Eckler is going to lead the backfield and snaps. Jaden

466
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 3: Daniels is gonna run. We have room projector for like

467
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 3: nine hundred rushing yards. You know, Deebo Samuel is going

468
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: to get like two to five carries a game. It's

469
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 3: just it's not It is a fun story. And then

470
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 3: when people started taking him in the sixth round, I'm like, no,

471
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 3: if you're looking for it, if you're looking for a

472
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 3: guy who can be like Malik Neighbors in year one,

473
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: and he is a rookie receiver like mylite Neighbors was

474
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 3: a mecca at BUKA. I mean, just all the stars

475
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 3: are aligning for him. Chris Godwin is coming off this

476
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: horrific injury, needed multiple surgeries on his ankle. Mike Evans

477
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 3: is thirty two, Kate Atton, they're starting tight end, just

478
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 3: got Hurd and Jalen McMillan. Their their previous third receiver

479
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: is out until like week ten at best. I think

480
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 3: a Mecca at BUKA is going to catch a hundred

481
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: balls this year.

482
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to butcher how to say this guy's name. Well,

483
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 2: I'll just say his lastning Tooton in Jacksonville. Now you

484
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: would know better than is he ahead of Bigsby on

485
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: the depth charter?

486
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: Now that depth chart is very fluid. I love Basheal Tuton.

487
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 3: I love base Shall Tuton. Do you know Ris score

488
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: relative athletics scorer? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's become real popular.

489
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 3: They've been tracking stuff since nineteen eighty seven. They've tracked

490
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 3: twenty one hundred running backs in terms of their overall

491
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: composite athletics score and base Shall Tuton is a top

492
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 3: one hundred out of those twenty one hundred, and he's

493
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: like his best comparable is Reggie Bush. I mean, he

494
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 3: ran a four to three to two coming out of

495
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 3: Virginia Tech, and he can play in the passing game.

496
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 3: I think he's looked awesome this preseason. I think they

497
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 3: might trade Travis Etn or Tank Bigsby before the season.

498
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 3: I know for a fact that they've been shopping those guys.

499
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 3: If they trade one of those guys, like, look out,

500
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 3: great situation for base Shall too. I've been drafting a

501
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: lot of base all two.

502
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 2: That's interesting. So he went from no star recruit to

503
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: North Carolina A and T, then he upgraded to Virginia Tech.

504
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, you know, I spent two years

505
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 2: in Virginia Tech. I don't even remember this guy. Now,

506
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech hasn't been great.

507
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 3: Right, I haven't been good. Yeah, they've been like they've

508
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: been like seven and six, six and seven. Yeah, Virginia

509
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 3: Tech has been real, real, real mediocre.

510
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: As your kid, I'm sure likes to say very mid Evan,

511
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: give me, give me, like you know, a take if

512
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 2: you're do you even do fourteen team leagues, by the way.

513
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: I haven't done in the reason I've done him before.

514
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: I'll say that, yeah, because my brother's in one, and

515
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: you know, he's asking me for guys on the waiver

516
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: wire and I give him a name that I heard

517
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: you say or something, and he's like gone, gone. It

518
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: seems like in a fourteen team league there's no good players.

519
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, do you if you're advising fantasy guys, Hey, man,

520
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: they're they're going fourteen teams.

521
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: Is it just not?

522
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 2: No thanks, I'll pass. I'll find another one.

523
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 3: It's it makes it more difficult, but you can argue

524
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 3: that it you know, it enhances the skill level. You

525
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 3: gotta work a little harder, yeah, to find guys, you know,

526
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 3: you gotta. You gotta hit on some later round picks.

527
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 3: One later round pick that I really like right now,

528
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: after the Panthers just traded away Adam Thielen to Minnesota

529
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 3: is Jalen Cocher, Who's going to be the Panthers big

530
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 3: slot receiver between Ted McMillan and Xavier Legette and Jalen

531
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 3: Cocher was excellent on slot routes last year and that

532
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 3: has been a really profitable fantasy position, you know, I mean,

533
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 3: I'm not comparing him to CD Lamb, but that's the

534
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: kind of role that CD Lamb plays, Like a big

535
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: slot receiver a mon Ross Saint Brown plays that. Larry

536
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: Fitzgerald kind of made that famous Hines Ward in Pittsburgh.

537
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 3: That can be Cooper Cup and with the rams that

538
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: can be really really profitable from a from a fantasy standpoint,

539
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: that big slot rule. And Bryce hung is a quarterback

540
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 3: that he throws the ball all over the middle. So

541
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 3: I think the Jalen Coker is would be an awesome

542
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: pick in a fourteen team league and like you know,

543
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 3: with a chance to be like a legit starter.

544
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: Wow, oh mind, they got a young receiving cord like

545
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: they had Dalan as the veteran. Now every guy's like

546
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: first second year. I don't know, real quick. Tennessee Titans,

547
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: I'm I'm all in on cam Ward. I think they're

548
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: gonna be very good. I'm curious what you think about

549
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: the wide receiver room and running back room because you

550
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 2: look like Burks is down done for the season. Nobody

551
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: believes in Van Jefferson Lockett. I mean he's thirty three

552
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: or almost thirty Calvin Ridley's good, but he's gonna be

553
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: bracketed a ton. Do you like the young kid from is?

554
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: I think it's Stanford io.

555
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 3: Manor Yes, ellok I you Manore, I think you manre Okay, Yeah,

556
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: I mean his you know, his claim to fame is

557
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: that in twenty twenty three he had a game against

558
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 3: Colorado and he burnt up Travis Hunter.

559
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: That's right.

560
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. And our guy you probably know, Mike Ran. He

561
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: used to be at PFF. Now he works for CBS Sports.

562
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 3: He's awesome. He's probably the best draft analyst that there is.

563
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: For my money, he is. And he compared Elec I

564
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 3: am an or to Robert Woods, who had some really

565
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 3: nice he was a big time Fantasy contributor. But I

566
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 3: thought that was a pretty nice comparison for him. I'm

567
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: with you on cam Woard too. By the way, I

568
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: love Tony Pollard this year. Ty J. Spears is starting

569
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 3: the season on IR. Tony Pollard is super, super underrated.

570
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: I think this offense takes a big step in hear

571
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: two of Brian Callahan, his dad Bill Callahan, one of

572
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 3: the best offensive line coaches of all time. Is I

573
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 3: think we see a big step forward from the offensive

574
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: line as well, and cam Ward is a huge upgrade

575
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 3: over Will Levis.

576
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: How are you handling Packers wide receivers? I know everybody

577
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: likes the potential for Golden, but it just seems like

578
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: a logjam with Watson, Dobbs, Wicks, Reid, like, how are

579
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: you handling this well?

580
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: I think that it's kind of evened out. The seas

581
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: have kind of parted a little bit because Christian Watson

582
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 3: is not going to be ready until mid season. Jayden

583
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: Reed it came out this morning, has a Jones fracture

584
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 3: in his foot. He's going to try to play. He's

585
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 3: going to try to play through it without having surgery,

586
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 3: but that's dicey. The more I think about I'm starting

587
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 3: to like Matthew Golden more than I did at the

588
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 3: start of the process. And I'm really big on Tucker Craft,

589
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 3: one of my favorite tight ends to draft. He's got

590
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 3: a little George Kittle too, one of the best run

591
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: after catch tight ends in the NFL, and I think

592
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 3: he can take a big step and maybe be that

593
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: breakout guy that we've been looking for in the Green

594
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 3: Bay Pass Cort Catri Corps this year, Tucker Craft, you

595
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 3: could get him real cheap, like in the tenth round.

596
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: Probably the Buffalo Bill's real quick. Obviously, James Cook a

597
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 2: little bit of a holdout. I just I wonder because

598
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: we saw some numbers on Josh Allen last year. He

599
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: would run a little bit in the early few months

600
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: and then ramp up as the game's got more important.

601
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: But you know they know that this is all about January.

602
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: In the playoff wins. Will we see Josh Allen run

603
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 2: less pass more or do they have like another running

604
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: back though mixed in to keep Cook fresh.

605
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think they really like Ray Davis. I know

606
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: that their offensive coordinator Joe Brady was banging the table

607
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: for them to draft Ray Davis last year. I think

608
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: he could take a little bit of a step forward.

609
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 3: But James Cook is really good, and they show that

610
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 3: they believe that by giving him the money. It's just

611
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 3: it's a rotation. And they also use Ty Johnson because

612
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: they love him in past protection. So you know it's

613
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: they used three running backs. You know they use like

614
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 3: four and five receivers. They used two tight ends. You

615
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 3: got Josh Allen and then you got a bunch of

616
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 3: committee guys all around him at like every position. Tight end,

617
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: running back and receiver.

618
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 2: I love wrap up with the Arizona Cardinals offense. They

619
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: could be stacked. Maybe Kyler Murray finally breaks through. But

620
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Connor and I felt like his workload

621
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: last year was heavy. He is thirty years old. Is

622
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: this the guy you need to handcuff early? And who's

623
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: your Who's Who's the ideal backup? Is it? Is it

624
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,959
Speaker 2: Carter the Mercado? A lot of people like Trey Benson.

625
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: It's Trey Benson the sixty sixth overall pick in the

626
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 3: draft in twenty twenty four, so he was like just

627
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 3: outside the second round. Might I think it was the

628
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 3: first or second pick of the third round last year?

629
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: Greg Coachelly, he uh, he thought that Tray Benson might

630
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 3: that's running back in the draft last year. Wow, But

631
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,239
Speaker 3: Trey Benson had a little bit of a slow rookie year.

632
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: And James Connor is like he's a dog. I mean,

633
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 3: he just he's a freaking workhourd You know, this dude

634
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 3: like beat cancer, you know, coming out of college, Like,

635
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a guy that if you've been betting

636
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 3: against James Connor since he came out of pit, like

637
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: You've been losing those bets like for a decade, you know.

638
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 3: I mean so, and I bet plus trust me, I

639
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 3: say that from experience because I bet against them a

640
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 3: few of the years and that has not gone well

641
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 3: for me. So James Connor is a dog. But yeah,

642
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 3: if you want to handcuff him, Trey Benson, Yeah all right.

643
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,799
