00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: Everybody, it is a wild week of free agency trading,

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: so many things to talk about. My co host today

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: after a long layoff, Matt Harrison back, Hey buddy.

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: Hey charch Last time we talked, it was right ahead

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: of the Super Bowl, and now that we're talking again,

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 3: it's the super Bowl of free agent movement and just

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: a frenzy of action this week maybe maybe one of

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: the busiest weeks in the NFL ever.

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. There's a temptation to say it every

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: every year, like, wow, there's so much, so many things happening. No,

16
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: but this is, I swear this is different, way more big. Definitely, Yeah,

17
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: it really does. We're gonna highlight twenty plus guys that

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: have moved and we'll talk through all the new spots

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: now because we're doing twenty this is not gonna be

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: the deepest dive you're gonna get on every one of

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: these guys. But Matt that my challenge to you with

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: each guy is tell me if you think this person's

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: situation represents an upgrade or a down grade from last year.

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 3: All right, I can do that.

25
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: I think we can do it. Let's start the quarterback position.

26
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: We got five guys that I want to that I

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: want to touch on that are all potential starters for

28
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: this year, beginning with the big name, of course, Kirk

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: Cousins now in Atlanta obviously no Justin Jefferson, and I

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: think on that basis alone, you could consider this a

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: downgrade for Cousins. But it's not like he doesn't have

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: to he doesn't have weapons. You get Drake London, Kyle Pitts,

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: b John Robinson. Give me your thoughts on Kirk Cousins

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: and whether or not you feel this is an upgrade

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: or downgrade versus last year.

36
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: Well, I took a look at the way too early

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: ADP's on Fantasy Pros right now, and Cousins was going

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: number nineteen among quarterbacks. What wow, Okay, crazy.

39
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: He hasn't finished that low in about six seven years.

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: That's that's wild.

41
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: Well. I so with this move, I think people are

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: going to be all over this from a fantasy community aspect,

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: because I think that everybody thinks that because it's Pits

44
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: and London and Bijon Robinson, that because those guys were

45
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: all top ten picks, automatically Cousins is in a better spot.

46
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: So I think the fantasy community is gonna think he's

47
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: in a better spot. I'm kind of with you. I

48
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 3: think it's I think it's kind of a wash for

49
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: a spot. But I expect him to rise in ADP

50
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: to I think he's going to be about eleventh when

51
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: it all is said and done in August. I think

52
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 3: he'll leap the guys in front of him right now

53
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: that I was like, he'll jump over all these guys.

54
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: It was Rogers stat effort, golf to uh, Trevor Lawrence,

55
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: Justin Fields and Kyler Murray. And I think he jumps

56
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: all of those guys.

57
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's I think that's probably a fair

58
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: assessment that ADP of nineteen had to be a lot

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: of that's got to be pre draft. You know, we're

60
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: pre trade, you know, baked in, but you didn't know

61
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: where Kirk was going to end up, and you know,

62
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: it could have been a much worse situation in Atlanta

63
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: feels like an offense that's kind of ready to explode

64
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: and take a next big step with with anything resembling

65
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: competent quarterbacking because they haven't had it in so long,

66
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: that's uh. And the weapons they've got, you know, London, Pitts,

67
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: and Robinson are all top They were all drafted in

68
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the like lottery pick, first round.

69
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: Right, top eight, all of them.

70
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, so you know, a great opportunity for Kirk

71
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Cousins to walk in and do really no worse than

72
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: he had been just no Jefferson. You know, he had

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: Jefferson and Hockinson and Addison and those were some you know,

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: great proven weapons. But it's easy to project London, Pitts

75
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: and Robinson being roughly that good. All right, let's move

76
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: over to Gardner Minshew going over to Las Vegas. As

77
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: it stands at this moment, he would be your probable

78
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: week one starter, but I think the Raiders likely make

79
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: a move in the draft. What are your thoughts, And

80
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: you know he does have some weapons there as well,

81
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: and you know, you can make a case for you know,

82
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: in terms of weaponry about the same as what he

83
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: had in Indianapolis. Do you view this as an upgrade

84
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: or a downgrade for Gardner Minshew.

85
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: You know, I kind of look at this as as

86
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: as a wash too, But if you have to put

87
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: one on there, I think it's got to be an

88
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 3: upgrade because I think he's got the opportunity to hold

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 3: this job as long as he can. To me, the

90
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: Raiders look like they're primed to take like the bow

91
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: Knicks or Michael Pennix like in the second round and

92
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: have them as like a project quarterback. It to me,

93
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 3: it looks like it's Gardner Minshew to DeVante Adams all day,

94
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: every day in Las Vegas, all year and and if

95
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: he can hold the job, and you know, Minshew's been

96
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: a solid quarterback. He led the Colts to almost a

97
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: playoff birth last year, and he's to me, he's like

98
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: the best possible like bridge guy you can get in

99
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: the league right now.

100
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: Not only DeVonta Adams but also Jacoby Myers, uh and

101
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Michael Mayer has the right to get better in your

102
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: two right as a highly drafted rookie. So you know,

103
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: there's you know, it's there is. I think the weaponry

104
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: for Gardner Minshew is maybe even a little bit better here.

105
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: You know, you know, Pittman was obviously very good downs

106
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: had moments, but I feel like there's some really established

107
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: good receiving talent for Gardner Minshew. Let's go to Sam Donald.

108
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: Currently your your Vikings starting quarterback, and Vikings probably put

109
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: a draft pick at quarterback. Don't know where that'll be.

110
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: Pick eleven's kind of a no man's land for for

111
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks right now where the Vikings select in the NFL draft.

112
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: So Donald could be your starter for Week one and beyond,

113
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: but this has still got the got some areas to

114
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: change more interceptions and touchdowns throughout Sam Donald's career. Massive

115
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: downgrade for Justin, Jefferson, Hockinson, and Addison now as they

116
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: go from Kirk Cousins to Sam Donald at least for

117
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: the moment. Or a rookie, you know, Bridge type rookie

118
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: quarterback of some kind too is a possibility. What are

119
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Sam Donald personally? For Donald obviously a

120
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: big upgrade going from a backup status to potential starter.

121
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 3: Well, I think the Vikings made it clear this morning

122
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: when they made the trade to get pick number twenty

123
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: three from the Texans that they are looking to move up.

124
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: They're gonna bundle eleven and twenty three and either move

125
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: up to four or five or six and get their

126
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: quarterback that they want. Maybe it's even three with New

127
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: England and get one of the top three guys. So

128
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 3: to me, I think, I think Donald is the safety

129
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: valve and the backup, but it seems clear that Quasy

130
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: is making moves to try to get their preferred quarterback

131
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: in the future.

132
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: I think if you had to fight, you had to

133
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: ask me right now who the Week one starter is,

134
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: I would still have to say Sam Donald and Ntil

135
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: I see them actually able to execute that trade and

136
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: land their guy, which is not necessarily going to be

137
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: a given. Jacoby Brissett goes to New England, where he's

138
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: at least for the moment the start her there but

139
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: and should have been the starter at the end of

140
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: last year after the shell shocked Sam Howell got beaten

141
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: into submission over the course of a almost record setting

142
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: level of sacks absorbed for him, Brissette seems unlikely to

143
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: be the Week one starter. However, another scenario where picking

144
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: at three New England likely goes with a quarterback.

145
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 3: So do you remember that the Patriots traded Brissette back

146
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 3: in the day. So do you do you remember who

147
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: they traded him for? Not anymore, no first round pick,

148
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: wide receiver Philip Dorset.

149
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: Oh jesus wow. Wow.

150
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 3: So they the Patriots essentially got Philip Dorset for free

151
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: for a while.

152
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: Really, well, that's a lateral move right there.

153
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean with mac Jones on the move to Jacksonville,

154
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: I think Brissett is kind of the guy that's locked

155
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: in there. And to me it it the Patriots need

156
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: a lot of things to to get better, and it

157
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: seems like they could go, you know what, we want

158
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: to take Marvin Harrison Junior at pick three, or you

159
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: want to trade back and gather more picks. I think

160
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: that there's a pretty real scenario that the Patriots go

161
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: into this year and just go, we're gonna let Brissett

162
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: be the quarterback this year, and we're gonna try to

163
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 3: kind of rebuild this team with girod Mayo as the

164
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: as the new coach and just kind of get that

165
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: edge back before they try to go get the quarterback.

166
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: So I think there's a real scenario that Brissett is

167
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: the starter there.

168
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: I disagree, but we'll we'll find out as it goes.

169
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: And it's obviously an upgrade for Jacoby Brissett. You know,

170
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: the receiving group is so bad. Yeah do you do?

171
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster and Ken Kendrick Bourne and that's a that's

172
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: about it. And you know for Brissette, who's played competent

173
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: ball by the way throughout you know, the latter you know,

174
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: the last two or three years of his career when

175
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: he has been asked to play. You know, but this

176
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,479
Speaker 1: is uh, this might be the worst offensive football potentially.

177
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: I mean they just got Jalen Rager there in New England, right, Yeah,

178
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: he's got that going for him.

179
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is your new starter in Pittsburgh and he

180
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: will be the starter now after the Deontay Johnson trade.

181
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: All he's got to throw to his George Pickens. Other

182
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: than that, it's Des Fitzpatrick and Calvin Austin and maybe

183
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: Pat Fryarmouth makes a step forward. Should be guard now.

184
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: The Russ has never seemed to prioritize tight ends, has

185
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: he I'm trying to leave, has any tight end just

186
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: blossomed with Russell Wilson a quarterback.

187
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 3: Jimmy Graham in the Seahawks day, didn't he go back?

188
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: Didn't he kind of go backwards from where he was

189
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: with the Saints.

190
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably, I think so. I mean, if you ask me,

191
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: it's the biggest winner in free agency so far as

192
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: George Pickens right he got a upgrade at quarterback and

193
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: he his co wide receiver one got shipped out of town.

194
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: It seems like two hundred targets are a lock for

195
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: George Fons right now.

196
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: So for Russell Wilson, is this an upgrade or a

197
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: downgrade from where he was last year in Denver?

198
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 3: You know, it's probably a down grade. Well, you know what,

199
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: I think it's an upgrade. I think just a fresh

200
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: scenario for him. It never was working in Denver, and

201
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: the wide receivers were obviously overrated because we're going to

202
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: talk about Jerry Judy getting moved in the not too

203
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: distant future. But you know, I think with the running

204
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: game and the way that the Steelers are just gonna

205
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: play and play bully ball, I think it's probably a

206
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 3: little bit of an upgrade for Russell Wilson. But he

207
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: still won't be on many of my teams.

208
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm on downgrade, But just because Courtland Sutton is so

209
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: good and way better than what George Pickens has shown

210
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: himself to be. But I do like the idea that

211
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: Wilson's gonna play with a on his shoulder in a

212
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: way that he never has before. I mean, he's playing

213
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: for the veteran minimum. He got ignominiously thrown aside by

214
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: his old team. I'm really curious to see how how

215
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: this ends up working, and if it works at all,

216
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: I guess we'll we'll find out. Let's let's work in

217
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: a quick break, Matt, Let's come back and talk running backs.

218
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: Dus just I don't I can't remember so many big

219
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: name running backs changing spots. We'll check in on Derrick

220
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: Henry and all the rest when we come back. Welcome

221
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: back Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchie and Matt Harris And Matt,

222
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: you've already updated cheat sheets at Shock Fantasy.

223
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the the latest cheat sheet will be fresh up

224
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: on the site later today Friday. So yeah, we're going

225
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 3: to have the dynasty angles all covered for you. And

226
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 3: I think I think I'm excited about making some dynasty

227
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: trades right now. Yeah.

228
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: It's always a good time. It's always a good opportunity,

229
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: isn't it. Because everybody in this week this is like

230
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: the buzziest week of the whole offseason until training camp starts,

231
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: and so a lot of opportunity to sort of get

232
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve on some of the big players

233
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: that have moved, like Derreck Henry. Let's talk about him

234
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: as he goes to Baltimore. I think this is an

235
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: upgrade for Derrick Henry because you get a better offensive line.

236
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: This is the PFF's six best run blocking offensive line

237
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. He's got a potential thunder and lightning situation

238
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: with Keaton Mitchell. But he's coming off the ACL in December.

239
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: You know, his status very much up in the air.

240
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: So this thing could be a Derek Henry could be

241
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: your lead workhorse back at least for the beginning part

242
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: of the season, and I'm really intriguing. I feel like

243
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: this is one of the best possible landing spots for

244
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry.

245
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: I do too. I think it's the biggest boom or

246
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: bust play in fantasy for the twenty twenty fourth season too.

247
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: So Henry was PFF's number five graded running back last year,

248
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: and what everybody kind of thought was a down year,

249
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 3: he did pretty well. But I will note over the

250
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 3: last six seasons. He's averaging two hundred and ninety carries

251
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 3: per year, and in twenty twenty one, the year that

252
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 3: he got hurt and missed eight games, he was on

253
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: pace for four hundred and thirty eight carries that year.

254
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: He's got so much mileage. I know right now that

255
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 3: that's the thing that just really worries me. For a

256
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 3: thirty year old running back coming in on his eighth season,

257
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: this will be his ninth season. Actually, yeah, I'm just

258
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: a little nervous that it could be over real quick.

259
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: It could.

260
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 3: It could.

261
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't look like the same guy this

262
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: past year, and you know, we know the end is coming.

263
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: It's just how close can we can we grind out

264
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: one more good season of Derrick Henry? And I want

265
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: to believe you can.

266
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 3: This definitely isn't prime Derrick Henry. And I think people

267
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: are going to draft him like it is prime Derrick Henry,

268
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 3: and he's gonna be like the fifth or sixth running

269
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: back off the board next year. But man, that that

270
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: just seems scary to me.

271
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: He could still be sitting at twelve fourteen touchdowns though,

272
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: just you know, even if he's not great, you know,

273
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: even if he's four yards per carry with a good

274
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: offensive line, all the other threats that defenses have to

275
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: account for, including of course Lamar Jackson, and knowing that

276
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: they don't use Lamar Jackson at the stripe Derek Henry obviously,

277
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, build perfectly for goal line. Use one of

278
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: the best players that way. Ever, man, he could still

279
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: be sitting on double digit touchdowns.

280
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: I agree. That's why it's going to be boom or bust.

281
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: If he can stay healthy and stay on the field

282
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 3: the whole year, with all the miles he's got on

283
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: those legs, I think it could be he could be

284
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: the number one running back in fantasy next year. Deandre's

285
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: downside is he could he could be just destroyed.

286
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: It could be, it could be completely spent. At this point,

287
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift gets a sizeable downgrade in my mind, going

288
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: from the lead back in a powerful offense like the Eagles,

289
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: now he goes to Chicago where he's in a muddy

290
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: time share with Khalil Herbert and Roshawn Johnson. They're likely

291
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: going to start over with a rookie quarterback who's going

292
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: to learn on the job. This feels like a pretty

293
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: sizable downgrade for DeAndre Swift to me, this is.

294
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: I mean, we're gonna start getting into a lot of

295
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: these running backs. A lot of these running backs were

296
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: graded pretty poorly by Pro Football Focus last year. Surprisingly,

297
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: DeAndre Swift twenty seventh graded running back behind guys like

298
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: AJ Dillon and Tyler l Jeer and Cheuba Hubbard. He's

299
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: behind those guys. So here's why I think that this

300
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: could be an upgrade. Though he was just completely blocked

301
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: from ever scoring touchdowns. That is true. He only had

302
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: five rushing touchdowns last year. He had to break all

303
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: those from deep. I think that the Bears are going

304
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: to give Swift the opportunity to be a goal line back,

305
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: something he wasn't in Detroit, something he wasn't in Philly.

306
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: He's got an opportunity here that we've never seen him.

307
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: Have Zack moscoes to Cincinnati and a fascinating move for

308
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: Zack Moss. He'll have to battle Chase Brown, who had

309
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: some moments where he looked really he looked really good

310
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: and he had some big plays for Cincinnati. But with

311
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon gone to Houston, we'll talk about him in

312
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: a second. I think this is a this is an upgrade. Opportunity.

313
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: Zack Moss, who looked really good with Indy went in

314
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: that first portion of the season before Jonathan Taylor came back,

315
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: and head coach Zach Taylor usually has a workhorse back

316
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: and he's not been a committee guy. I think Zach

317
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: Mosks rolls in as the probable workhorse for week one.

318
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: I see it as an upgrade. How do you see it?

319
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's kind of what I was wondering. This

320
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 3: offense has featured one back, but basically since Joe Mixon

321
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 3: got there, and is Chase Brown the chosen one or

322
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: Zack Moss the chosen one? That'll be the interesting thing

323
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: is we near Jill in August to see how they

324
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: treat these guys in training camp, to see who's playing

325
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: in preseason games and how they're playing, to hear all

326
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 3: the coach speak coming out of camp. To me right now,

327
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 3: it's buyer beware on Zach Moss, just because I don't

328
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: know what I'm getting into. It could easily be Chase

329
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 3: Brown's backfield.

330
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 1: Let's go to Joe Mixon, who then goes to Houston.

331
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: This was a baffling move for Houston. Hated their decision

332
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: making on this to let Devin Singletary go and we'll

333
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: talk more about him in a minute, and then give

334
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: a three year contract to Joe Mixon who just looked

335
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 1: washed up and ineffective last year. Plus Houston ranked twenty

336
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: fifth and rushes per game and either heavily pass oriented.

337
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't see m And I love the Texans.

338
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: They're like my second favorite team. I love what they've built,

339
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: and there's so many things I love about what they're

340
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: doing offensively defensively. But man, this is just such an uninspired,

341
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: baffling move. I don't like it. But it's as for

342
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon personally, I think it might represent an actual

343
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: upgrade over what he had in Cincinnati and how he

344
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: looked in and that team last year. What do you

345
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: think about Joe Mixon here?

346
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: I think it might be a downgrade. And here's why.

347
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: There was a great tweet out there by Scott and Barrett,

348
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 3: And one of the things that Barrett cited in this

349
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 3: tweet is Bobby Slowek has a Shanahan influenced zone running scheme,

350
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 3: and both Damian Pierce and Joe Mixon, while playing in

351
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 3: man gap concept runs, they were both over four yards

352
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: per carry but both were at least twenty percent worse

353
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: in zone concept runs in the last two years. Joe

354
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 3: Mixon a three point three yards per carry, Damian Pierce

355
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: the three point four yards per carry. So this just

356
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: might be the wrong scheme for him. Maybe Joe Mixon

357
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 3: is talented enough to overcome.

358
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: It, but I don't think so.

359
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: To me, Man, I just think that this might be

360
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 3: an issue, and it could be a Pierce mix and

361
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 3: split backfield. We could see Joe Mixon getting eleven twelve

362
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 3: carries a game. That's it. And once you do that

363
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: and we're having CJ. Stroud chuck the ball over the field,

364
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be. I think it's just gonna

365
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 3: be almost like the old Houston Oilers, and it's gonna

366
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 3: be four wide receivers. Let's chuck the ball, run.

367
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: And shoot coming back. Let's go to Josh Jacobs as

368
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: he moves to Green Bay in a bit of a

369
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: surprise move. Overall, he gets a much better total offense

370
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: with the Packers. The improbable signing re signing of AJ Dillon,

371
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: which I did not see coming. I thought they were

372
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: finally going to wash their hands of him. I don't

373
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: think that impacts Josh Jacobs a lot. But Matt Lafleur

374
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: has never used a workhorse back. He's always been a

375
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: rotation guy. So Jacobs comes in off his worst season

376
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: by a mile, but still pretty young. I think he's

377
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: twenty six years old. Green Bay not a great run

378
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: blocking offensive line, the ranked twenty third and run blocking

379
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus sixteenth and run block win rate,

380
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: so kind of middle of the pack, lower middle of

381
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: the pack. But maybe Jacobs, who's always been a workhorse,

382
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: maybe he'll be a workhorse here too. What are your

383
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on Jacobs is this? I think I view this

384
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: as an upgrade over his situation last year. Do you

385
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: view it as an upgrade or a downgrade?

386
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 3: Well, it's got to be an upgrade just because Las

387
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 3: Vegas just botched the offense seemingly all year. Last year. However, Jacobs,

388
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: who was in twenty twenty two the top top rushing

389
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: running back in the league. He was the number thirty

390
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 3: one Pro Football Focus graded running back last year, and

391
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 3: by the way, the Packers just jetted the number six

392
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: ranked running back, Aaron Jones. So it could be that

393
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 3: Aaron Jones, even though he's three years older, he might

394
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 3: have just been the better running back. And is Josh

395
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: Jacobs just walking into an Aaron Jones role where it's

396
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 3: like a sixty forty split with AJ Dillon. There seems

397
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 3: like they know what they want him to do, they

398
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: know what part of that offense they want him to be.

399
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 3: So I just think that he's walking into a split

400
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: backfield situation and he might not be as good as

401
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: Aaron Jones.

402
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: Let's go to Aaron Jones goes to Minnesota. Yeah, Now,

403
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: I think what hurts Aaron Jones here is Kevin O'Connell

404
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: just doesn't run much. He's ranked twenty eighth and thirtieth

405
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: in rushing attempts the past two years. Jones will open

406
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: up some passing opportunities, but Kevin O'Connell hasn't thrown the

407
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: running backs in the past either, Dalvin Cook, who was

408
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: a capable receiver two years ago just thirty nine receptions,

409
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: and last year Alexander Madison, who's not as good to

410
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: receiver just thirty catches. You know, Jones is better than

411
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: any of those in both past protection and as a receiver,

412
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure that you know Kevin O'Connell hasn't

413
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: shown a propensity to want to unlock that part of

414
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: his running backs. I view this as a slight downgrade

415
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: from last year for Aaron Jones.

416
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: How do you see it? You know, I think it

417
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 3: might be an upgrade because we've seen two years of

418
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell and he had Dalvin Cook, who obviously, I

419
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: mean pun intended, was kind of cooked. Like the Vikings

420
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 3: knew at the end of the year, the metrics all

421
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: said it. He just wasn't himself anymore in his last

422
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 3: year in Minnesota, and Alexander Madison was the epitome of

423
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 3: just a guy. He was a warm body out there.

424
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 3: Ty Chandler took over for him in the later part

425
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: of the season, and Kevin O'Connell really hasn't had a

426
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 3: good running back. If Aaron Jones shows anything, he might

427
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 3: be the best running back that Kevin O'Connell's had as

428
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 3: a head coach so far. And I think that having

429
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison and t J. Hawkinson when

430
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: he comes back, I think that'll help open up the

431
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 3: field for Aaron Jones and I think that they might

432
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 3: run a little bit more this year. And it's a

433
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: one year deal for Jones in Minnesota, So they could

434
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: just run him into the ground. They could just go,

435
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 3: we're gonna give you two hundred and fifty carries this year.

436
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: Have at it, bud Well.

437
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: I think he'd break down on that many because he

438
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: gets hurt every year. So that's that. I think that's

439
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: the other part way. I don't think he can be

440
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: a workhorse back because you know, the history suggests that

441
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: that he'll end up getting hurt. The knees, the constant

442
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: knee injuries. I want to touch briefly and Gus Edwards.

443
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: As the Charges have roomade their entire offense, I mean,

444
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: no longer Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Austin Eckler. Oh god,

445
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: I mean this is you know, it is such a

446
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: different offense. Gus Edwards walks into a very possible starting role.

447
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: He only has to beat out Isaiah Spiller to win

448
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: the starting job. I think, I think the Chargers are

449
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: primed to draft a running back, but in the moment,

450
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: they haven't done that yet, and Gus Edwards is the

451
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: presumed starter.

452
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and don't you think that this is quite obvious,

453
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 3: Like Jim Harbaugh is gonna draft Blake Koram In like

454
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 3: the third round. It does feel.

455
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: It does feel that way, doesn't it.

456
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 3: Yes, But you know, I think Edwards is I mean,

457
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 3: right now, he's the only guy getting touches on the

458
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 3: Chargers offense. There's no wide receivers to compete with. He

459
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: already beat Isaiah Spiller just by showing up. There's there's

460
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 3: nothing else right now. And you know, you know, the

461
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: Chargers are definitely gonna draft somebody in probably the second

462
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: day or third day of the NFL Draft. But Gus

463
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 3: Edwards surprisingly pretty decent twenty one last year on Pro Football,

464
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: focuses rankings, so and he knows the staff well with it,

465
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 3: with some Harbaugh remnants there in the I always want

466
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: to call him the Clippers, LA see the Chargers. So

467
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 3: let's go over to Austin James Harden. He's got Kawhi Leonard.

468
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: Let's go to Austin Eckler. Since we just mentioned him,

469
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: he now goes to Washington. This is I think a

470
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: pretty sizable downgrade in total total offense and probable role

471
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: he's I think he becomes the receiving back with Brian

472
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: Robinson as the lead back. Although Robinson it's not good.

473
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: So maybe Eckler gets a bigger role than I think.

474
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: But the offensive line also in Washington bad mediocre at best.

475
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: I think they're bad. Watching well, far too much Commanders

476
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: football last year. I see Eckler as a as a

477
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: change of pace pass catching guy, and you an ideal

478
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: scenario could catch fifty passes in the season. But I

479
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: just don't like the totality of that offense very much,

480
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: and I'm worried about Eckler being more than just a

481
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: flex level running back this year. You see this as

482
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: the same downgrade I see it as.

483
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see it as a downgrade definitely for Eckler personally,

484
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 3: but I think it might it might help him because

485
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 3: he definitely was wearing down being the lead back in

486
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 3: Los Angeles over the last few years. And this might

487
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 3: look almost more like when Melvin Gordon was kind of

488
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 3: the lead back for the Chargers and Eckler was the

489
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 3: change of pace guy, and Eckler was, you know, still

490
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: a quality player at that point and a flex level starter.

491
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 3: So that's the hope. But there's a lot of moving

492
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 3: pieces in Washington. There's a new head coach, Cliff Kingsbury

493
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: is the new offensive coordinator. They're going to have a

494
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 3: new quarterback at two, So a lot of different things

495
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: are gonna fall here, and it's going to be very

496
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 3: interesting to see how this all works out.

497
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: Let's go to Devin Singletary, who migrates over to the Giants.

498
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: I again don't understand what Houston did here. They were

499
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: able to utilize Singletary, you know, once they basically locked

500
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: in on Singletary after Thanksgiving last year, the high usage rate,

501
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: and I thought he looked pretty good doing most of

502
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: the things that they wanted him to do. But then

503
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: he goes they let Singletary walk, he goes to the Giants,

504
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: where everything's worse. I think this is a downgrade, right,

505
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: Your quarterback is worse with the Giants, Your offensive line

506
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: somehow worse than Houston, which is saying a lot wide receivers,

507
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: just the whole offense worse. I just I don't love

508
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: this move for anybody involved. I see it as a

509
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: downgrade for Singletary.

510
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 3: Do you feel differently, I mean, the whole offense is

511
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 3: definitely a word, that's definitely a downgrade. But the opportunity here,

512
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 3: I think the opportunity here is really interesting. With Saquon Gone,

513
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 3: I think Devin Singletary pops into almost a Saquon like

514
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 3: role in a Brian Daball offense. And by the way,

515
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 3: those two know each other from Buffalo when they were

516
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 3: back there together. If Dabele thought Singletary was just a

517
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 3: lame player, he wouldn't have brought him in.

518
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: So Yeah, but he didn't use him in Buffalo very

519
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: much at all. He was just a rotational guy for

520
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: day ball in Buffalo.

521
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's true. But I kind of like this.

522
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: I think this one's sneaky unless the Giants draft a

523
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: running back. I think Singletary, out of all of these guys,

524
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 3: might have the ability to be kind of like the

525
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 3: sneaky bell cow out of this bunch.

526
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, obviously gone from the Giants, goes over to Philadelphia,

527
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: hated rival and really a surprise move I think in

528
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: the minds of Benny So he goes from extremely high

529
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: utilization in New York where he was basically the whole

530
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: offense when Daniel Jones went down to a probable time

531
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: share back in Philly because that's what they always have.

532
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: Last year, Philadelphia running backs combined for seventy five receptions.

533
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: I like that Barkley could be sitting on a forty

534
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: to fifty receiving yard year of reception year, and that

535
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: part I like. But you know, we know that you

536
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: have the downside of your quarterback housing your touchdowns anything

537
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: up close. All the easy touchdowns get siphoned off to

538
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. That's a downer. I think almost every part

539
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: of this is down grade other than offensive line for

540
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley.

541
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: I don't know how you can think this is a downgrade.

542
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 3: He went from a horrible Giants offensive line with no

543
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: quarterback to a quarterback that is mobile and can move around.

544
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 3: And really, who's he fighting with Kenneth Gainwell and Boston

545
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 3: Scott for touches. They didn't bring in Saquon Barkley to

546
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: give touches to Kenneth Gainwell. They brought him into carry

547
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 3: the load here. I think he's gonna be a I

548
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 3: think he's gonna be a bell cow here. But I

549
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 3: have the same concern that you do. Will he get

550
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 3: the carries inside the five? I think that that's the

551
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 3: biggest issue. The tush push has been so good for

552
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: the Eagles, and Jalen Hurts has scored so many touchdowns

553
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 3: on the ground that I kind of wonder are they

554
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: bringing in Barkley because they think they can take some

555
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: hits off of Jalen Hurts, Will will the the tush

556
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: push work without Jason kelcey? Uh? I think I think

557
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 3: those are both both interesting things. So I think it's

558
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 3: an upgrade for Barkley and I think that his stock

559
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 3: is going to continue to rise throughout the offseason.

560
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard gets I think will agree on this one

561
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: a downgrade as he goes to Tennessee where he's gonna

562
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: have to battle Tai J. Spears for time. Spears look dynamic, fast.

563
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: I like him better as a sophomore potentially for doing

564
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: a lot of the nuanced work do you want your

565
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: running back to do? And last year prove that poly

566
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: can't be a workhorse. So now he's he's back in

567
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: a back in the time share a little bit like

568
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: he was with Zeke a couple of years ago, where

569
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: Pollard was effective. But the totality of the Tennessee offense

570
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: is a major bummer here, and I see, I think

571
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: Spears is just playing better right now than Tony Bollard is.

572
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that there's no way that you can

573
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 3: look at this and think that Pollard's going to get

574
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 3: anything better than a fifty to fifty split here, right, Yeah,

575
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 3: it just it just seems to me that they're going

576
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 3: to try to have two guys, and they're gonna try

577
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 3: to utilize them in different ways and try to keep

578
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 3: them both fresh. So unfortunately, I think it's kind of

579
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 3: a bummer for both Spears and Pollard because I think

580
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 3: it makes it very difficult to feel confident in starting

581
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 3: either one of them in fantasy games. I was.

582
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: I acquired Spears in so many leagues last year, Dynasty

583
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: and Empire leagues under the assumption that Henry was going

584
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: to leave, which he did, and that Spears would have

585
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: an opportunity to have a big role in this offense.

586
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: Now I'm not so sure nervous about that. Let's take

587
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: a break. When we come back wide receiver moves. We've

588
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: got a handful of guys to talk through, including Marquise Brown,

589
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: new Kansas City Chief. Let's talk through that and when

590
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: we come back. All right, Matt, you're ready to roll

591
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: up your sleeves and wide outs.

592
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: Oh they're already rolled up. Let's go.

593
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm wearing short sleeves. That's how rolled up mine are.

594
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: I almost didn't want to spend you know, we got

595
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: to pick and choose our battles here. Let's just spend

596
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: a second on Darnell Mooney, who goes to from Chicago

597
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: to Atlanta where he gets a big upgrading quarterback, you know,

598
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: right from fields to cousins, from passing acumen. It's not close.

599
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: But he also drops to fourth or fifth in the

600
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: pecking order for balls thrown his way for targets, and

601
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: that worries me about Darnell.

602
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: Mooney well, and then they traded for ronde All Moore too,

603
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 3: And I think those are two like completely perfect guys

604
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 3: that defenses will have to account for, but fantasy players

605
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 3: won't have to put on their rocks because they're they're

606
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 3: never gonna get more than like three or four targets

607
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: per game. They're just there to be decoy's draw the

608
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 3: defenses away from Pitts in London. I think that it's

609
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 3: a perfect landing spot for both, but not if you

610
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 3: want to play them in fantasy.

611
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: Downgrade we agree, And you know what are is Rondell

612
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: Moore gonna have three good games this year? Yes, is

613
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: Darnel Mooney gonna have three good games this year. Yes,

614
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: good luck finding when those are gonna happen. And and

615
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: why would you roster those guys all season waiting for

616
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: those those three games?

617
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? At best, both of those guys are just best

618
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 3: ball league flyers at the tail Indio draft.

619
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: Well, stated Deontay Johnson goes to Carolina. I'll be interested

620
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: with whether or not you think this is an upgrade.

621
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: Similar skill set to Adam Thielen, but we'll certainly start

622
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: along with Adam Thielen. Bryce Young Scott the potential to

623
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: be better than any quarterback that Deontay Johnson has had

624
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: since Ben Roethlisberger if he improves, and I think you will,

625
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, presumably better coaching and Bryce second year for

626
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Bryce Young, he'll get a little better. Do you think

627
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: this is an upgrade or downgrade for Deontay Johnson?

628
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 3: You know, I kind of think it's an upgrade. I

629
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 3: think that Bryce Young has to be better than Kenny Pickett.

630
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 3: The Panthers did invest into two guards for their offensive line,

631
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 3: so that should give him a little bit more time.

632
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 3: And with both Johnson and Feelin out there, and Bryce

633
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 3: Young hasn't been a guy who's like been looking for

634
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: that downfield threat. Right now, it looks like the Panthers

635
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: are going to kind of dink and dunk their way

636
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 3: down the field. It seems like each of these guys

637
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 3: might be sitting on, you know, a hundred receptions this year,

638
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: but they're all gonna be short. They're all gonna be

639
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 3: within five yards of the line of scrimmage. And I

640
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 3: think that that's the way Caroline is gonna play it

641
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 3: and see if Deonta and Theelan can you know, use

642
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 3: their skills to get past and to win some extra yardage.

643
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to Jerry Judy gets traded to Cleveland. This

644
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: is not a surprise. There was talk of him being

645
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: traded at the deadline last year and then he kind

646
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: of got iced out of the offense and he was

647
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: in the doghouse. Sean Payton's doghouse is a freaking mansion.

648
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: It is epically large, and once you're in it, there's

649
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: no there's no reversing your way out of as Sean

650
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: Payton doghouse. Now, what's interesting about this landing spot in Cleveland?

651
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: Matt Jerry Judy runs primarily from the slot, so does

652
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore. And while both of them can run outside,

653
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,959
Speaker 1: and they do run outside routes. You've always have felt

654
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: like both of them have a natural position in the slot.

655
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: Also in the into the consideration for Jerry Judy is

656
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 1: he goes from Russell Wilson to Deshaun Watson. And I'm

657
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: not sure if that's an upgrade or downgrade. It feels

658
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: like roughly a lateral moved. I'm not a Deshaun Watson guy,

659
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: even as a passer. So what are your thoughts here

660
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: on Jerry Judy? Is this an upgrade or a downgrade

661
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: as he goes to Cleveland?

662
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: I mean it's from the doghouse to the dog pound? Right? Oh? Good?

663
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, very nicely done. Nicely.

664
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 3: The Browns give up almost nothing to just kick the

665
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 3: tires on Jerry Judy for a while. I mean the

666
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: Browns have you know, Elijah Moore was a was a

667
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: high draft pick, Marii Cooper was a high draft pick,

668
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 3: and Jerry Judy was a high draft pick. And now

669
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 3: they've acquired all three of these guys for you know,

670
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 3: late round flyers. I kind of dig the way that

671
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 3: they're just kind of checking out these guys and just

672
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 3: trying to build an offense around in a cheap way,

673
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 3: and they really have to with all the collateral they

674
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 3: gave up to get to Shaun Watson. Problem is, I

675
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 3: think that you kind of stated it is Deshaun Watson

676
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: any good. I don't know. I don't know if he is.

677
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's an upgrade over Russell Wilson

678
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 3: right now. In fact, if I a whole between the two,

679
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 3: I'd probably probably take Russell Wilson right now.

680
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: I can't say. I can't say that I blame you.

681
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: I think the whole you know, obviously, Deshaun Watson was

682
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: a good passer with Houston. I just think the whole,

683
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: that whole two years just sort of broke him. And

684
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: maybe he can come back from that psychologically, but I

685
00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: need to see it first. Speaking of broken players, Gabe

686
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: Davis killing fantasy owners with a season that somehow last

687
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: year was even more all or nothing than the previous ones.

688
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: He'll fill in Jacksonville, he'll fill the void left by

689
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, but I don't feel like he's that. Gabe

690
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: Davis is any safer in Jacksonville then he was in Buffalo.

691
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: He gets a downgraded quarterback, not that Trevor Lawrence is bad. Obviously,

692
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: he's not bad, but he's not Josh Allen, who has

693
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: one of the great long ball arms in the league.

694
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: And that's Gabe Davis's deal. It's catching long bombs. So

695
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: to me, this feels like a downgrade. Do you see

696
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: the Gabe Davis moved to Jacksonville and he differently mat.

697
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a downgrade too. I mean, he

698
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 3: replaces Ridley, but really what happened is Christian Kirk just

699
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 3: took his number one wide receiver role back in that offense,

700
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 3: and I think I think it's Kirk's offense, and I

701
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 3: think Gabe Davis is just gonna be Gabe Davis. He's

702
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 3: gonna pop off every once in a while and have

703
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 3: a good game, and he's probably not gonna be very startable.

704
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 3: He's another best ballflyer me.

705
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: Marquise Brown goes to Kansas City, where he might be

706
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: the biggest gainer that we talk about out of this

707
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: whole list. I think he brings speed back to the

708
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs wide receiver group. Always been a super streaky producer

709
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: where you'd have a run of like three, three or

710
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: four really good games and you're like, oh, it's starting

711
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: to click for Marquis Brown, and then he'd go on

712
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: like a half season long dry spell. Oh guy, killing

713
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: fantasy owners. So the question matt Is can Andy Reid

714
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes help Marquise Brown gain consistency? Upgrade or

715
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: downgrade for Marquis Brown, gotta be an upgrade.

716
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 3: It's one hundred percent in upgrade. Kansas City kind of

717
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 3: just decided a while ago that they were going to

718
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: try to gather up all the wide receivers in the league,

719
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 3: and now they finally shed some of that dead weight

720
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 3: with like Marquez Valdez scambling leaving and a few others.

721
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 3: I think Marquis Brown is now like the solid wide

722
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 3: receiver two there, and they might actually just be rolling

723
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 3: out with two or three wide receivers instead of rotating

724
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: six or seven into the game. So he signed there

725
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 3: in a one year deal. It's definitely a prove it deal.

726
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 3: He's had one hundred targets in each of his last

727
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 3: four seasons. Give him a hundred Patrick Mahomes targets now

728
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 3: and see what he does with them. Yeah, it's going

729
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 3: to be I Yeah, I think that we're looking at

730
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 3: eighty catches and at least a thousand yards for Marquise Brown,

731
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 3: and he's got the ability to break six or seven touchdowns.

732
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: So somebody in your league's going to draft him in

733
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: the third round.

734
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 3: Marquise Brown in the third round, yep.

735
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: I think in every league you get twelve guys together,

736
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: one of those twelve is going to be so tantalized

737
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: by the upside of Marquise Brown catching balls from Patrick

738
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes that somebody's gonna take him that early.

739
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 2: Man.

740
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 3: I just think that there's so many good wide receivers

741
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 3: right now that I mean, everybody knows that he's going

742
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 3: to be the number two there, but I mean you're

743
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: looking at him, you know, probably right around the twenty fourth,

744
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 3: twenty fifth wide receiver off the board that should be

745
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 3: right there, like Mike Evans, DK Metcalf, Tank Dell, DeVonta Smith,

746
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 3: Amari Cooper, Drake London, like those guys are better than

747
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 3: Marquis prot I.

748
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: Think so too. I just I just think somebody's I

749
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: think in every league somebody's going to be really fascinated

750
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: by and we'll find out. Calvin Ridley goes to Tennessee

751
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: in what I view as a downgrade and a bad contract.

752
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: I hate this move by Tennessee. You got you don't

753
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: have into solution at quarterback. You sign a guy who

754
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: was highly inconsistent last year to four years ninety two million,

755
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: fifty million guaranteed. He goes from Trevor Lawrence to Will

756
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: Levis at least the time being for Calvin Ridley.

757
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 3: Get this.

758
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: I got a great Calvin Ridley stat for you. He

759
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: finished as a top ten wide out six games last year.

760
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: Man in the other eleven games he averaged wide receiver

761
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: fifty five with an average line of three catches for

762
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: thirty six yards and zero point one touchdowns. That was

763
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: it was? You know did he brought zero consistency to

764
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville offense and now he goes to undisputably a

765
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: worse passing offense in Tennessee. I see this as a downgrade,

766
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: do you yeah?

767
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely? His Pro Football Focus grade he graded out similarly

768
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 3: to Jacoby Myers, Elijah Moore's, Zey Flowers, Adam Felen. Those

769
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 3: are the types of guys that you signed for like

770
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 3: mid level contracts, and they just signed Calvin Ridley to

771
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 3: premium money. And I think that that's just a big mistake.

772
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 3: I don't think the Titans know what they're doing, and

773
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 3: I think that they're going to be selecting a quarterback

774
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 3: next year, very high in the NFL Draft.

775
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: Well by next year, we could be in April. I

776
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: mean they could be going quarterback. What are they their pick?

777
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 3: The seven seven?

778
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that could that could be a quarterback selection right there.

779
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: Final guy to talk about Keenan Allen in a shocker

780
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 1: that really disappointed me. I wanted Keenan Allen to end

781
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: his career where he started it, Hall of Fame level career.

782
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: I wanted him to start and finish his career with

783
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I'm disappointed that this happened to him, and

784
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know if it's something that

785
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen wanted. Maybe he didn't want to be part

786
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: of the Jim Harbaugh reboot, so maybe it's something that

787
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: he wanted. But I just I love it when Hall

788
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: of famers finished with their career where they started it.

789
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: He goes to Chicago, where presumably he'll be matched with

790
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, wh will learn on the job. And the

791
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: great thing about Keenan Allen is he'll be exactly where

792
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be on the route and he'll catch

793
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: everything that they throw to him. And for a young quarterback,

794
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: that is a that is a luxury to have somebody

795
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: like Keenan Allen. But from a pure fantasy standpoint, I

796
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: view this as a as a down grade move from

797
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: where he was as Justin Herbert's lead lead receiver last year.

798
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do too. He also turned thirty one in April,

799
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 3: and he missed four games last year due to injury

800
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 3: and seven the year before after pretty much having like

801
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 3: a mostly injury free prior like eight or nine seasons.

802
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 3: So I'm a little nervous that the age is catching

803
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 3: up to him. But he's a just a route technician

804
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 3: and his hands are as good as can be, So

805
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 3: if he stays healthy, he's he's pretty much a lock

806
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 3: for one hundred catches, don't you think.

807
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you told me he's gonna get well hundreds

808
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, if you told me I'm gonna get

809
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: seventeen games, then yes, I think he'd probably get there.

810
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: But that's just I just don't think Keenan Allen is

811
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: a seventeen game a season guy anymore. And you know, Chicago,

812
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: look Chicago's on Chicago looks like a very promising overall offense,

813
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: but bringing in an aged veteran to me still it

814
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: feels like a bit of an odd move for them.

815
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: But again, he'll offer some value for Caleb Williams and

816
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: that we love that part, all right, Matt, great job.

817
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: We had a lot of fun talking through all these

818
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: guys and it's just so much movement. Heads heads on

819
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: a swivel, right, just like what is happening unbelievable every day.

820
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 3: The rest of the day today. I mean, I know

821
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: we're recording this, you know, Friday around lunchtime, and by

822
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 3: the time that people hear this, there could be six

823
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:35,240
Speaker 3: more moves today, So yest we better hit the button

824
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 3: and get this one out. But I did want to

825
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 3: note charts, there were no real good tight end movers.

826
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 3: But your boy John U Smith is Miami. How do

827
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 3: you feel about John who in Miami?

828
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: Well, it was the perfect landing spot for him. I mean,

829
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: other than the fact that they've got other good receivers

830
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: are gonna get most of the balls, but that is

831
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: a I love. The athletic profile for John new Smith

832
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: has always been off the charts, and they covet that

833
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: in Miami. Man, do they love their their guys who

834
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: are speed athletes, and that's what John who Smith is

835
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: at the tight end position. So I'm really optimistic about

836
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: John who Smith. You have a shock to learn.

837
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 3: Where's John Who's gonna rank next year? Too? Is he

838
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: gonna too?

839
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm gonna John who Smith is

840
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: my second tight end in a lot of leagues. I'll

841
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: tell you that much. Absolutely, I have not refreshed my rankings,

842
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: but I suspect he's gonna clock in and you have

843
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna have him around tight end fifteen sixteen.

844
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: Where do you Where do you have him right now?

845
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 3: Uh? Well, I don't have him in my redraft ranks yet.

846
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 3: I just have him on on dynasty ranks. But okay,

847
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 3: I think he's in the same range right now on

848
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 3: the dynasty side. But I'm shocked that you're saying fifteen

849
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 3: or sixteen and you're not eight right outside top ten there.

850
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 3: And I think by by the time July and August comes,

851
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 3: you will have him in the top ten. That is

852
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 3: that way, that is very you're going to talk yourself into.

853
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: It me talk myself into some guy who I love

854
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: the athletic profile on. Yeah, I can't imagine that happening. Uh. Thanks,

855
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: Thanks Matt, it's been a ton of fun. Next week,

856
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,600
