Murphy 17 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: Esquire Murphy. I know this is a big draft weekend 18 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: for a lot of people, so I gotta ask you. 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: Have you finished all of your drafts or are there 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: still some left in the hopper for you? Got one left? Um, Eric, 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: our friend Ricky Hollywood is creating one with some of 22 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: the A T N guys and some of their various 23 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: talent around the NFL. And I do have a league 24 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: that's like almost like fifteen years old with all my 25 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: friends from home, and I now like want to win 26 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: this NFL league just to beat all those guys and 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: have bragging rights here. So I'm very very excited for 28 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: that one. I think it's coming up in a few 29 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: days here before the first game. But you know, I've 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: been listening to the pod. Obviously I'm producing, but I 31 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: go back and I listened to the tips everyone gives, 32 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: so I'm like, Okay, running backs early and often mid round, 33 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: wide receivers, weight on QB's, weight on tight ends get 34 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: the good value for them. So um me producing this 35 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: has really helped out my my fantasy game. Like I'm 36 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: light years ahead of where I used to be. Well, 37 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: that's good to know. I feel like because you work 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: for the NFL, I feel like the stay as the 39 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: pressure is heightened on you too to be at least competitive. 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: Like if you work for the NFL and your fantasy 41 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: football team stinks, I feel like then you tend to 42 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: get roasted a lot more by the people in your league. 43 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: Only if you have any idea with the text I'm 44 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: getting from my friends for like drafting Jalen Reagor and 45 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Mike Williams and DeAndre Swift, and like, I know, I 46 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: skew younger. I was told actually my draft recap, I 47 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: have the youngest team by far, and all these guys 48 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: now are banged up. I mean, I trust in them. 49 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have pretty good seasons, and I 50 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: got good value for them. But man, man, it is brutal. 51 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: Like all you're supposed to know you're talking about. It's like, well, 52 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: it's a long season. It's a sixteen weeks season. Just 53 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: trust me. Just remember you don't win your league in 54 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: the draft, but it's a good foundation for for what 55 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: you're going to do. So hopefully this show is going 56 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: to be a nice cheat sheet for everybody who is 57 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: getting ready for any draft that are gonna happen over 58 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: the next couple of days.

Are you ready for NFL 79 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: football this year? I can't believe we're here. It's like 80 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: like you said, we're only a few sleeps away. And 81 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: I'm only a few sleeps away of seeing my Kansas 82 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes led team go and kick some 83 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: Houston Texans butt down in Kansas City. I'm sure you 84 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: and the rest of the world saw they just got 85 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: their Super Bowl rings. It really is real. We won 86 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and now we have the season to 87 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: look forward to. We're back for Round two. We're gonna 88 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: take them downs. I'm ready to go. It has been 89 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: a the longest shortest time or the shortest longest time, 90 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: I don't know, between the Super Bowl and the start 91 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: of the season, just because this has been such a 92 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,559 Speaker 1: weird offseason. But I'm glad because, look, I'll be honest 93 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: with you, at this point, I've run out of hot takes, 94 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: so I need actual football to kind of refuel the 95 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: engine so we can get through this. But I do 96 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: want to start for folks who are drafting, who maybe 97 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: are just sort of logging into this thing, just some 98 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: quick dues and don't when they approach their fantasy football draft. So, Kimmy, 99 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: give me one do and one don't. For people who 100 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: are about to build a fantasy football roster, all right, 101 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: let me start with the dues. You do need to 102 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: make a target list of players that you want on 103 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: your squad odd rather than yolloing it on draft day. Now, 104 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: even myself, we sit and our job is to talk 105 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: about fantasy football. But once you're in the moment and 106 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: you were in the draft, sometimes it's a bit hard 107 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: to remember who are the guys you want to target? 108 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: What round do you want to target? You see others 109 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: go on a crazy running back run, and then you 110 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: you guess, oh my gosh, do I need to do that? 111 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: Make a list, take a deep breath, and go from there. 112 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: You want to look and see what are the relationships 113 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: that your guys have with their quarterbacks, who are the 114 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: teammates who could potentially steal the targets, and what's the 115 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: team's reliance on the passing game versus how often the 116 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: team plays from behind. All of that needs to be 117 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: accounted for when you're going into your draft. So I know, me, 118 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: I play with my heart. You know, you guys are 119 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: showing Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey clips. I get it. 120 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: You know, I play with my heart and I take 121 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: them early and I take them often. But you know what, 122 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: you need to make a list and you need to 123 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: go with it now. Onto the don't and this is 124 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: a big one. You don't need to assume the same 125 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: production from players every single year. So if you think 126 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: of the guys, you know a Darrown Waller, for example, 127 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: he was someone who had a breakout season last year. 128 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: That's not something that could be predicted now going into 129 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: this season, a lot of people are putting high and 130 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: lofty expectations on them. But just slow your role, right. 131 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: We cannot predict the future, So don't go in thinking 132 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: that the guy who is number one last season is 133 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: going to be number one again. Unless he's Christian McCaffrey, 134 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: then you can go ahead and assume that. But all others, 135 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: all other people, just take a deep breath, uh and 136 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: and go with the flow, and go with your heart 137 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: and not your head. At times, I will say, a 138 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: very wise man once told me, don't draft last year's 139 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: best team. And I think that's a smart way to 140 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: go about it, because so rarely do you guys repeat, 141 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: especially when you talk about the number one spot at 142 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: each position. It's hard to go back to back. So 143 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: I think that's super sound advice for me. One thing 144 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: you should do, go get your guy you like. Can 145 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: you mentioned you have a target list of players? You 146 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: have guys that maybe you studied up on that you 147 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: know you like. Now, let's remember any He is kind 148 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: of a suggestion. It is not a hard and fast rule. 149 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: So if there's a guy that you like, the a 150 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: DP says maybe he should come off the board in 151 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: the fifth round, but you really are the voted to 152 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: putting this guy on your roster, go get him. I 153 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: know there are certainly wide receivers out there. I like 154 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: guys like Michael Gallup that you can get in the 155 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: middle rounds. I feel strongly about him, so maybe I 156 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: will reach a round or so above a DP to 157 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: get him on my roster. A guy like Robert Woods 158 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: is another one who I think has the potential to 159 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: have a really solid season, So maybe I'll get him 160 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier than where the consensus says. You 161 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: want to feel good about your roster when you are 162 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: done drafting, So if that means sort of bucking the 163 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: trend and going a little bit early, go get the 164 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: guy that you want on your team. I don't and 165 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: this seems like a common ideal to go by, but 166 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: don't draft your kicker or defense before the final two rounds. 167 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: I know sometimes people sort of get aunty. Maybe there's 168 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: a defense you want. I know, I just said go 169 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: get your guy. You don't have to do it for 170 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: kicker and defense, right the Patriots were fans stick last year. Defensively, 171 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: you don't have to go get them early. You can 172 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: find another good defense in the last couple of rounds 173 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: of your draft. So don't extend yourself because at that 174 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,679 Speaker 1: point you're gonna miss out on some skill position players 175 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: who could potentially be productive and give you more week 176 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: to week numbers than you would get out of a 177 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: defense or a kicker. So there you go. Don't go 178 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: above your head and get guys that you'll get positions 179 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: that aren't necessarily going to give you good return on 180 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: your fantasy draft investment.

Who is the guy in the early 198 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: rounds of the draft that you have been doing your 199 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: best to try to get on every fantasy roster. I 200 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: feel like you could probably guess this for me because 201 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: I've talked about him so don't much this off season. 202 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: I have the initials for the team he plays for 203 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: right here. They just so also happened to be my initials. 204 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: It is Clyde edwardsy Lair. He is insane. He's incredible. 205 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 1: I'm so incredibly excited for him to have a rookie season. Now. 206 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: I know sometimes in fantasy football it's a little bit 207 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: of a bet to uh to place on a rookie, 208 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: but this is a guy that I'm targeting in every 209 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: single draft. We just did one with all of our 210 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: Fantasy Live squad, and I took to him as the 211 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: fourth overall pick in the first round, which would be 212 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: kind of crazy, but Damian Williams has opted out of 213 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: the seasons due to concerns over COVID nineteen, which means 214 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: my guy is going to be that dude for Andy 215 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: Reid and also Patrick Mahomes. Now, he's a three down 216 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: back who can catch ninety plus passes out of the 217 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: backfield while still rushing for hundreds of yards. Uh So 218 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: I am all in. I know it's a little bit spicy, 219 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: but it's someone who I want to take a chance on. 220 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: Like we said earlier, you kind of gotta go with 221 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: your heart at times, you also got to go with 222 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: your head. Both of my head and my heart are 223 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: saying this is the guy. Andy Reid is incredibly excited 224 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: about him. Patrick Mahomes is excited about him. He's had 225 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: an incredible camp, and I think coming from that l 226 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: s U offense down to a Patrick Mahomes offense, he's 227 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: gonna be right in time to have incredible numbers, incredible production, 228 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: and as a fantasy manager, he's for sure gonna win 229 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: my championship so I can kick your butt and all 230 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: the leagues we're playing in together I've always said if 231 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: you could break upside down into a mathematical equation, it 232 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: would be a combination of age, talent, and opportunity. Clyde 233 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire is a young guy who's incredibly talented, and 234 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: he's going to have a chance to be a three 235 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: down back and arguably the league's most productive offense. The 236 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: upside is huge, and I think he's a guy that 237 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to try to take 238 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: in the first round. All right, middle round, guys, who 239 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: are you looking at in sort of that middle part 240 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: of your draft? So this is someone that you are 241 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: actually all fired up about, and you're firing up. Has 242 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: got me fired up. It's gonna be hate and hers stuff. 243 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: That tight end. Now he has joined I know, I'm like, yes, yes, yes, 244 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: I get to talk about your guy. He has joined 245 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons because Austin Hooper is out, and that 246 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: means Hayden Hurst is now in. Now. When Hooper was 247 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcon, there was huge upside for him because he 248 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: was the sixth most fantasy point tight end at that position. Now, 249 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: tight ends last season we're a bit of a dumpster fire, 250 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: and there was a whole lot of wishing and praying 251 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: that yours would put up numbers if you didn't get 252 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: a top three guy like George Kittle or Travis Kelsey 253 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: are zach Ert. So this is a guy who we 254 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: want to take a chance on. This see in and 255 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: next to in stats actually says he's pretty darn fast. 256 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: He's reaching twenty point five miles per hour in twenty nineteen. 257 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: Like I said, Austin Hooper, he was averaging around almost 258 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: fifteen Fantasy points in twenty nineteen, which was the third 259 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: best at that position. So I think the opportunity is there. 260 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: I think him in his very long, lustrous hair that 261 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: was just shown in our lower third of his profile picture, 262 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: he's ready to get to action. And I'm kind of 263 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: fired up about that entire Atlanta Falcons offense. You know, 264 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: we got Todd Gurley in there now, Hayden Hurst, and 265 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: I think there's some options. But I know you're just 266 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: as fired up about him, So this isn't too crazy 267 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: at the take. I feel like I've made my life 268 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: harder because I've talked him up so much. The ADP 269 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: has risen and it's gotten a lot harder for me 270 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: to draft him, and a lot of fantasy teams. Even 271 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: better news is that Matt Ryan says he might be 272 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: the most athletic tight end that he's played with. That 273 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: makes me super excited, and again that's making it harder 274 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: for me to get Hayden Hurst on any fantasy team. 275 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: All right, Now, let's look in the late rounds, when 276 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: you're getting close to the end of the draft and 277 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: you're more drafting on upside and your hope for the best. 278 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: Who's the guy that you've been targeting there? So earlier 279 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: in the show, you were saying, you know, I'm out 280 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: of hot take because I don't know how many more 281 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: I can do. I need real football so I can 282 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: have some more hot takes. This is my hot take, 283 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: and it's very bold and it's very spicy, but that's 284 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: just kind of who I am. And it's gonna be 285 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: Preston Williams at that wide receiver position. Now. He had 286 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: an injury last season in Week nine, tearing his a 287 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: c L and then he was out for the rest 288 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: of the season, which got the Bavard excuse me, DeVante 289 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: Parker all of the opportunity in that Miami Dolphin offense. 290 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: But now I think it's time for Preston Williams to 291 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: come back, and he's going to shine now. Pre injury, 292 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: he was looking at almost five hundred yards and only 293 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: averaging eleven Fantasy points per game. But the rise is 294 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: up now. Right now, He's currently being drafted at the 295 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: ADP outside of the top fifty wide receivers, very similarly 296 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 1: to the way that DeVante Parker was drafted last season. Now, 297 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: Waal Williams was out, obviously, Devanta Parker stepped up to 298 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: get the majority of his targets, his receptions, and his touchdowns. 299 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: But guess what Parker only was to the occasion because 300 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: Williams was out. Williams was the guy first. And I 301 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: think he's kind of a sleeper wide receiver that people 302 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: should be targeting. And he's someone in our Fantasy draft 303 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: that I just got for Fantasy Live in the eighth 304 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: and ninth round, So you know, I think he's someone 305 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: who you can bet your money on. And I know 306 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: that some people are avoiding Davante Parker because of that reason. 307 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I know it's a little bit both, 308 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: a little bit spicy, but I have some faith in 309 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: Preston Williams and that entire Miami Dolphins offense. I am 310 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: a big fan of Preston Williams this year, and he 311 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: is the reason that I have sort of avoided Davanta 312 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: Parker at his a DP. When they were on the 313 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: field together, everything was split fairly evenly, and so I 314 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: think Parker is gonna have a tough time sort of 315 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: duplicating what he did last season. All right, let's get 316 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: down to the nuts and bolts of your fantasy draft. 317 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: These are the things everybody wants to know. Who's the sleeper, 318 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: who's going to break out? Who are the guys that 319 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: I should avoid this year? So we're gonna give you 320 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: a quick rundown of the players we think fit into 321 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: some of these categories. Let's just get right into it, Kimmy, 322 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: who is your top sleeper in fantasy football? For so 323 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: already talks about Preston Williams. But I got another wide 324 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: receiver to throw out there, and this time it is 325 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: Kenny Stills. Now, DeAndre Hopkins was traded to Arizona, which 326 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: means that there's a hundred and fifty targets from the 327 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen season that are now up for grabs, and 328 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: some of those grabs could be going to Kenny Stills. Now, 329 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: last season he was sixty three amongst wide receivers, only 330 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: getting under ten Fantasy points per game. But you need 331 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: to look at what happened in the latter half of 332 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: that season and the final four games of twenty nineteen, 333 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: he scored three touchdowns, which goes the show he's starting 334 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: to build that rapport with Deshaun Watson, and that's good 335 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: news heading into this season. Now, he was traded right 336 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,479 Speaker 1: before the start of last season from the Miami Dolphins 337 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: to Houston, so maybe he didn't get that that training 338 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: camp time that he's now had this season. So again, 339 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: this is someone that I think you can target late 340 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: and someone who is still going to be available on boards, 341 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: but has a ton of upside for not a lot 342 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: of draft capital, and considering the injury history of guys 343 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: like Wolf Fuller and Brandon Cooks, there could be some 344 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: big opportunities coming for Kenney Stills in that Houston offense. 345 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm going with Terry McLaurin here, and Scary Terry jumped 346 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: out of a big way. We weren't talking about Terry 347 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: McLaurin at the beginning of last season when we talked 348 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: about rookie wide receivers, but when it was all said 349 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: and done, he was battling to be one of the 350 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: top rookie receivers in all of fantasy football. He's got 351 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: that year under his belt and now his former college quarterback, 352 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins is his pro quarterback and Haskins has been 353 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: named the starter for Week one. This is his job, 354 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: so there is a vote of confidence there for him. 355 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: We know how talented he can be. He gets down 356 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: the field, has excellent speed, great hands, a solid route runner. 357 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: On top of it, he's playing in an offense in 358 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: Washington that really is rebuilding. They are probably going to 359 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: be playing from behind a lot, which means they're going 360 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: to be throwing the football a lot Terry McLaren was 361 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: a guy who was a top twenty five receiver last 362 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: year and has upside in the top fifteen, maybe even 363 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: the top twelve this year. So mclauren's a guy that 364 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: I know a lot of fantasy analysts have loved, and 365 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: he's getting a lot of attention when it comes to 366 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: fantasy draft. Okay, so we talked about the sleepers. Now 367 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: the guys who might break out. Maybe we weren't talking 368 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: about them, but by the end of the year, everybody's 369 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: gonna be wishing they had drafted this guy. Who is 370 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: it for you? Everyone is going to be wanting to draft. 371 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 1: If they don't draft Hade and Hearst, they're gonna want 372 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: to be drafting Blake Darwin at the tight end position. 373 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: And this is this is a guy going to break 374 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: out for the Dallas Cowboys. Now. Something that was really 375 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: interesting that just got reported this last week was that 376 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: executive vice president for the Cowboys, Steven Jones, went on 377 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: record to say that he has been turning heads at 378 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: training camp. He said, I think Blake Darwin has had 379 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: an amazing camp. He just keeps getting better and better. 380 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: His rapport with Dak is outstanding, and I really think 381 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: he's got a chance to step right up there and 382 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: be a really good, if not great tight end for us. Now. 383 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: He only played of the snaps in twenty nineteen, but 384 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: that's because Jason Witten was there and he got seventy 385 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: five percent of the stops. Witness out Blake Jarwin. It 386 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: is indac has a loaded offense and this is a 387 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: guy who I think again you can target later in 388 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,239 Speaker 1: those rounds of your draft, but have huge upside. With 389 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: low draft capital, so I don't know Blake Jarwin is 390 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: going to be great. I'm all in and I'm finding 391 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: myself rooting for the Dallas Cowboys, which is crazy, but 392 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: I'm in on Blake Darwin. Jason Witten was the tight 393 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: end of Levin last year and basically he just caught 394 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: the ball and fell down. So I think a younger, 395 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: more athletic player in that same position could do a 396 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: lot of great things. So I'm definitely in on Blake 397 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: Darwin at the end of draft. I'm also big on 398 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, and I know people will look and say, well, 399 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: hasn't Calvin Realley already sort of broken out? Look, I 400 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: think he can break out even more if that's a thing. 401 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: He is poised to be a huge fantasy receiver this season. 402 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: I know he's still playing alongside Julio Jones, who I 403 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: still think it's somehow underappreciated, but he's in the Atlanta 404 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: offense that has a ton of passing volume. They have 405 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: been among the past happiest offenses in the league over 406 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: the last couple of seasons. Some of that is because 407 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: of personnel, having Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Matt Ryan 408 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: will do that. Some of it is because of circumstances. 409 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: They have a defense that gives up a lot of points. 410 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: They have to throw the football to stay in games. 411 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: We know Ridley has a nose for the end zone. 412 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: He should get plenty of looks from Matt Ryan this season. 413 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: And he's a guy who again could knock on the 414 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: door of the top ten or top twelve if things 415 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: go the way we expect them to. So Calvin Ridley 416 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: is a guy that he's still on the board in 417 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: the fourth or fifth round and probably could be going 418 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: higher were not for a glut of wide receivers ahead 419 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: of them. So alright, we talked about the sleepers, We've 420 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: talked about the breakout Canadas. Let's talk about the youth 421 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: movement here. When we're looking at rookies, who you look. 422 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: I know you already mentioned one guy when you talk 423 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: earlier in checks marks the spot, But if we're going 424 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: non c EH division, who is the rookie that you're 425 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: looking at this year? I love it. I get to 426 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: talk about my people, my young guys. And I'm actually 427 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: gonna pick another LSU Tiger coming from a coach o offense, 428 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: and it's Joe Burrow, which I know is crazy for 429 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: fantasy football rookie quarterback. I'm talking non dynasty. I'm saying 430 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: you want to draft him, and he may be somebody 431 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: that you want to target to start in the latter 432 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: half of the season. And that is because Joe Burrow 433 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: is the Patrick Mahomes of college football. Right. Almost six 434 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: thousand passing yards, sixty touchdowns, only six interceptions last season 435 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: at LSU. Right, this is sixty touchdowns in one singular season. 436 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: If he can do this for the Cincinnati Bengals, then 437 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: I want every single part of him on my fantasy team. Now, 438 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: the Bengals through the ball sixty of the time, which 439 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: is the fifth highest in the league, which means he's 440 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: gonna be throwing these balls. The Cincinnati Bengals are going 441 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: to be in a situation when they want to score 442 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: late in the game to catch up. So why not 443 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: take a chance on Joe Burrow. He's my guy, Joey 444 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: b If you see this, call me send me some gear. 445 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: I mean number one than what's up? I mean between 446 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and Claded with Hilaryer and Justin Jefferson, coach 447 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: was going to be smiling a lot on some days 448 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: when he's watching NFL. That's a terrible coach order. That 449 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: was I don't know, coach, you know, And like you know, 450 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: I appreciated the work he did at USC. So I'm 451 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: sorry I did that. Um, not sorry enough to take 452 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: it back, but uh, let me just get out of 453 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: this by talking about Jonathan Taylor, because I did. He 454 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: is set up for a big season there in Indianapolis. 455 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: All signs have pointed to him really not only just 456 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: being a starter, but sort of pushing Marlon Mack into 457 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: the background there in that Colts running game. I mean, 458 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: we know what he did it Wisconsin. This is a 459 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: bruising back who is good between the tackles, who can 460 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: get out into space, make people miss and kind of 461 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: get into the end zone. Fifty touchdowns over his time 462 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: there in Madison, Wisconsin playing for the Badgers. And he's 463 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 1: that guy, especially in Indianapolis, that's going to get that 464 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: short yardage and that goal line work playing behind that 465 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: great offensive line that they've put together in Indie, and 466 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna break out. Even in Week one 467 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: they start the season with the Jaguars. I look for 468 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: the Colts to get a lead on Jacksonville to ground 469 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: and pound at the end against this Jaguars defense that 470 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: has struggled against the run and now doesn't have Jonnick 471 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: in ghonk Way. So I think the JT is going 472 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: to be going early. You're gonna see a lot of 473 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: him this season. And he's a guy that I won't 474 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: mind drafting in the fourth round if you're still there 475 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: in a lot of drafts. So all right, So we've 476 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: talked all the good and in the interests of fairness, 477 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: we got to talk about the guys that maybe are 478 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: will you be so great? So who is the guy 479 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: that you have avoided in most of your fantasy drafts 480 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: this year? Now, this one is another kind of hot take. 481 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 1: But again, that's what you're gonna get with me. And 482 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: I am avoiding at all costs Odell Beckham Jr. Because 483 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: of what he did to me in the twenty nineteen season. 484 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: I took him in the in the first round and 485 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: what did he do? Not so much all of his 486 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: numbers and both sides in twenty nineteen. Now, the lack 487 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: of chemistry between him and Baker Mayfield was evident. His 488 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: usage and the offense was not ideal. And then he 489 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: had an injury with the sports hernia, which kind of 490 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: stunted his effectiveness and proved to be too difficult to overcome. Now, 491 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: as far as we know, he's gonna enter the twenty 492 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: season as healthy as ever. We finally get a legitimate 493 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: chance to build a rapport with Baker Mayfield. They now 494 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: have Kevin Stefanski as a offensive coordinator. But last season 495 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: his a DP was he was the number five wide 496 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: receiver off the board. You know how he finished. He 497 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: only finished as a top ten fantasy wide receiver in 498 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: one of sixteen weeks in twenty nineteen, So I don't know. 499 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: He kind of broke my heart with that much draft 500 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: capital on him. I don't think it's worth it. If 501 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: he has a breakout season and he is the Odell 502 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. That we all know and love, then I 503 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: will swallow my words. I will admit that I am wrong, 504 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: and I will will hope that he can forgive me. 505 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: But right now I'm avoiding them. I just I just 506 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: don't know if it's worth it. Sometimes you have to 507 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: take a stand and maybe you take the l four, 508 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: but you know you you shake it off and you 509 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: come back the next time. I will say that after 510 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: last year, I think a lot of people are hesitant 511 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: when it comes to the Browns because there were high 512 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: expectations and a lot of people ended up getting burned. 513 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: I am worried about getting burned by Aaron Jones this year, 514 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: and I think the real reason is it is sort 515 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: of obvious. He scored nineteen touchdown last season, which is great. 516 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: It's also really hard to repeat that sort of number. 517 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: Our own Michael f Florio pointed out recently that thirty 518 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: six percent of Aaron jones fantasy points came on touchdowns, 519 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: and now this year, not only does he have to 520 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: try to duplicate that number, he has to do it 521 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: with Jamal Williams still there, potentially taking some targets away 522 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: in between the twenties, and now he's got a J. 523 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: Dillon who wild Fantasy Twitter with just a massive thighs 524 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: and huge tree trunk legs. This is a guy who 525 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: probably is going to get some of that work down 526 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 1: near the goal line. So it seems really difficult for 527 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones to duplicate what he did last year. On 528 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: top of it, you're still having to pay a second 529 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: round draft prize for it was a first round prize. 530 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: It's come down, it's still a little bit too high 531 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: for my liking. So I have stayed away from Aaron 532 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: Jones and pretty much every fantasy draft this year because 533 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: I just think what you have to invest is not 534 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: going to be good enough for what you get in return. 535 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: So just be aware you're helping. You're helping improve my 536 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: point earlier. That's don't expect the same for auction from 537 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: last season going into this season. So thanks for getting 538 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: backing me up. This is why I love you so much. Yeah, 539 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: this is why. This is why we're gonna be a 540 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: good team on this Monday show. So I'm looking forward 541 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: to it. It should be fun. So our pel Adam 542 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: Rank hosted a three hour fantasy football extravaganza. It had 543 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: a myriad of fantasy analysts and celebrities across the world 544 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: of sports and entertainment. I was lucky enough to be 545 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: a part of it. You were on that thing as well, right, 546 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: I wasn't. I was too busy getting engaged and taking 547 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: a vacation. So excuse me, take that, But I don't know. 548 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: You said you had all these celebrities and sports analysts, 549 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: but the most important celebrity of all wasn't there, but 550 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: it's pretty good, so you guys should take a look 551 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: and watch. Absolutely. I was on there with Cythia Freeland. 552 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: Work done. Check it out, see what we talked about. 553 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: And we will start though with Warwick, who played obviously 554 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, finished his career with the 555 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Liked it so much he joined the ownership group. 556 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: So we appreciate you getting a little bit of insight here. 557 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Julio Jones, a player that we feel 558 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: gets this. For as great as he is, he seems 559 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: to be disrespected in the fantasy community. What do we 560 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: expect from Julio in Well, I just think in he 561 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: has a lot to approve. I think a guy who 562 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: works hard in the off season, someone who has been 563 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: committed to being the leader of his football team. He's 564 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: going to go out and just lead by example. So 565 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: when this year they're not able to really have playoffs, 566 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: I mean preseason games, so he's gonna have the ability 567 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: to really come out the gate strong. I mean, he's 568 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: already gonna be in great shape. I mean his skill 569 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: love is is unmatched, and he's someone that can catch 570 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: deep ball, the short ball. I mean, I just think overall, 571 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: we try to get him going early, just get him 572 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: into a rhythm so hopefully he can make big plays 573 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: down the stretch for us. Cynthia, what do you think 574 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: about drafting Julio Jones? Where should we be picking him? 575 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: Do you think the second round is a pretty good 576 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: spot for him. You're lucky to get him in the 577 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: second round. You will get him there because last year 578 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: you didn't see as many touchdowns as normal. But here 579 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: are two reasons why you need to take him higher 580 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: than you might think. Right First, their old line only 581 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: played ten percent of snaps together last season. Starters are good. 582 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: Starters are starters for a reason, So it's gonna help 583 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan will have an improvement given the 584 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: fact that last season he took the lowest percentage of 585 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: deep attempts in his career. You're gonna see that rebound 586 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: this year. And just like Work said, you know what 587 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: kind of balls Julio Jones catches? The answer is all 588 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: of them, but also deep passes and deep passes that 589 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: go for touchdowns, first downs, touchdowns, that's what he's there for. 590 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: I'm like, I think he's wide receiver number three for me. 591 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: This season in my preseason rankings, Marcus, where is he 592 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: in your preseason rankings? I think I've got him for 593 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: or for or fourth. I just kind of thinking off 594 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: the top of my head. I mean, it is weird that, 595 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I think what it is rank you 596 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 1: talk about not getting the respect I think he deserves 597 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: in fantasy and I think it's because we've just taken 598 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: him for granted, right, I Mean we see Julio Jones 599 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: be great for so long. Um, you know, we always 600 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: like shiny new things and and I think we just 601 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: look at Julio were like, yeah, I mean he's gonna 602 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: be great. We know that we always want to be 603 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: reaching for something new and shiny. And I think, you know, 604 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: I think there's there's something to be said for a 605 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: guy that you feel like you can you can have 606 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: him on your team. Uh, and he's gonna get you, 607 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: you know, hundred yards every single year. I mean, that's 608 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: that's a hard thing to downplay and and it's a 609 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: hard thing to accomplish. And maybe, uh, maybe we just 610 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: need to stop and look around and sort of appreciate 611 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: the greatness of Julio Jones as it is and and 612 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: start to understand that. Man, it's just the guy you've 613 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: got to appreciate and and maybe we should should give 614 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: him more love than we do. He definitely deserves some 615 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: more love. One of the things we saw in the 616 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: off season two was that there was a lot of 617 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: movement at the running back position. The Falcons will be 618 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: welcoming Todd Gurley, who played college football of course at 619 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: the University of Georgia work. What can we expect from 620 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley this season? Well, I just think they're gonna 621 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: try to really work him in. I know we've had 622 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: issues in short yardage and gold line situations, and Todds 623 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: history is that he scores a lot of touchdowns in 624 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: the red zone, by the goal line. He's a guy 625 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: who has a knight for the end zone. So I 626 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: think his value is going to definitely play in there. 627 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: But he can also help Julio. I mean this is 628 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: a combination. I think that if we can have an 629 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: established running game, you take the pressure, you know, off 630 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback, and now Julio has an opportunity to make 631 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: good play. So I think having Todd really adds a 632 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: lot of value overall to the football team. But we're 633 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: gonna be looking for him to definitely sniff that ends 634 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: on a lot when we're in short yardage and goal 635 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: line situations and getting keep first down throughout the game. 636 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: And city you mentioned the offensive line, I would imagine 637 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: that has to help Todd Gurley in this situation as well. Yeah, absolutely, 638 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: it helps Todd Curley. And you know what else tells 639 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: Tod Gurley the fact that they'll be able to scheme 640 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: to get him on those outside runs. You just saw 641 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: all those lovely highlights of him. He runs outside really efficiently, 642 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: and that wasn't able to happen last season for the 643 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: rams they're online was not so great last season. And 644 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: also the scheme people picked up on it, defenses picked 645 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: up on it. So I think they're gonna have an 646 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: opportunity this season because of Julio Jones, because of Calvin Ridley. 647 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: You've got to account for everybody. So Todd Gurley will 648 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: be a huge factor. He'll get to run on those 649 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: outside edges again. And I think he's around what running 650 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: back nine ten eleven right around there? Where Where is he, Marcus? 651 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: Where do you got him? I've got him, I think 652 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: round ten. Um. What I what I'm really looking forward 653 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: to is is watching the Falcons hopefully integrate him back 654 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: into the passing game. That was such a big part 655 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: of why he was so effective with the Rams for 656 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: all those years is that they used him out of 657 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: the backfield as a pass catcher. Last year, for whatever reason, 658 00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: they went away from that. He just didn't catch the 659 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: ball nearly as much as he had in the past. Uh. 660 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, I think maybe in some 661 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: respects that sort of change the dynamic in the Rams offense, 662 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: I know for us fantasy football nerds, and sort of 663 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: change you know, girls production levels. I think that Matt 664 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: Ryan will get him more involved in the passing game. 665 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: You combine that with what Cynthia was talking about with 666 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: some of those outside runs and look at time and 667 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: wear and tear catches up to everybody. So Ty Gurley, 668 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: obviously this year isn't the same guy we saw a 669 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: few years ago, but I think he can kind of 670 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: get back to what we saw closer to what we 671 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: saw the last couple of years in Los Angeles. So 672 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask a little bit about it though. 673 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: This year, with Deshaun Watson losing DeAndre Hopkins, how do 674 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: we think he's going to play this season. Well, that's 675 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: gonna that's a tough That's a tough loss to me. 676 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: I was, so, how was sock when of Texas? You know, 677 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: shipped them off? But I just think the sun his 678 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: skill level. He has a great skill lego as a quarterback. 679 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: He's going to do a lot more with this feat 680 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: this year. I think. I mean, he's really smart kid. 681 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: But when you take you know, a big play guy 682 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: like that away, I mean, it really puts a lot 683 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: of fresh on the quarterback to come out and be 684 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: the man. So the pressure is going to be on him, 685 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: but I just think the other guys are gonna be 686 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: to step up and make a couple of plays, but 687 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: it's really going to focus on his shoulders and what 688 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: he takes that football team. Cynthia, what do you see 689 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: projection wise from Deshaun Watson? Does he take a little 690 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: bit of a step back this season? He's I think 691 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: quarterback four something like that. I still think it's gonna 692 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: be really high. I don't think he has reliable receivers, 693 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: but I think it's going to be kind of this 694 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: rotational right Like sometimes it was gonna be a Kenny 695 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: Sells game and then you know you're just gonna keep 696 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: going through me Will Fuller game. Hopefully everyone's day is 697 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: healthy enough for that to happen, because Deshaun Watson is 698 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: a special quarterback. And I think work was really diplomatic 699 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: and saying that he was surprised when they shift DeAndre 700 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: Hopkins off. I think it was more like my jaw 701 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: was on the floor and I had to like crane 702 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: it back up for me because what, like what you're 703 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: doing like this is crazy. So I just think unfortunately 704 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson, he's gonna be asked to do more. 705 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: But fortunately for the Texas, DeShawn Watson is really good 706 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: at doing more. So to me, it's good for fantasy. 707 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: Maybe not, but maybe not good for those ws though. 708 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: And Marcus, I will give you the tough question, which 709 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: one of these wide receivers are you targeting from the 710 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: Houston Texas? Uh? You know, honestly, for me, it's been 711 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: Willed Fuller. Um, you know, just because he and and 712 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson have worked together for a couple of years now. 713 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: And I know people are sort of worried because you know, 714 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: Fuller has had some injury issues in the past. I 715 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: don't worry about that. At all. I just look at 716 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,959 Speaker 1: what those two guys do when they are together on 717 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: the field, and they have been incredibly productive. Whether it's 718 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: just throwing the deep ball through those in immediate passes, 719 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: they find ways to score, to get in the end zone. 720 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: And look, that's that's all we're looking for, right, Um, 721 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: So I think you know, a lot of people have 722 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: sort of stayed away, and that's made his fantasy draft 723 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: price I think a lot nicer, and so I'm willing 724 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: to take that shot that the taste of the fantasy 725 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,959 Speaker 1: goodness to him. A little bit bitter that ranked and 726 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: asked me to be on the same time as Johnny 727 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: Banana because I have so many questions about the challenge. 728 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: That's all I really wanted to know. But anyway, if 729 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: you want to get the full experience, you can check 730 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: it out the full Draft Spectacular.

Because this is 741 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: gonna be kind of embarrassing, but whatever, we're a family 742 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: at this point. Mine is a bacon, egg and cheese 743 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: sandwich on everything bagel and lasting Beyonce all day long. 744 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: Before I moved to Los Angeles over a year ago, 745 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: I lived in New York City and a bacon, egg 746 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: and cheese sandwich got me through those late nights. They 747 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: got me through those early mornings. And if they can 748 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: do that, they can get me through a fantasy football draft. 749 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: And as we know, my Queen Beyonce is the soundtrack 750 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 1: for my entire life. To put her with everything bagel 751 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 1: with bacon, egg and cheese on it, you have fantasy magic. 752 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: So that's my that's my draft to go to. Do 753 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: you have a particular spread that you put on the 754 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 1: bagel to go along with the sandwich? No, you know, 755 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: we we just gotta switch it up. Sometimes it's full bacon, 756 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: egg and cheese. Get a little siratch on there sometimes 757 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: we do with spicy a really it's just you know, 758 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: it depends on the day, all right, I'm totally that 759 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: with that. I would throw that together, maybe just for 760 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: breakfast one of my mornings. For me, it's something similar. Look, 761 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: I would tend to just order a whole pizza and 762 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: then try to chow down on as much of it 763 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: by myself as I could, and wash it down with 764 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: a couple of cold, tasty beverages. Because drafting on an 765 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: empty stomach is no bueno. I do not advise it. 766 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: So make sure that you are properly hydrated and properly 767 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: fed when you go into your fantasy draft. So as 768 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: we prepare to say goodbye, just you know whereverybody gets 769 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: their last drafts in before we get to the start 770 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: of the regular season. If you had one last tip 771 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: to give fantasy drafters to me, what would it be? Now? 772 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: My tip is not going to be technical. It's going 773 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: to be more lifestyle and it's half fun. Right.
