Welcome to a springtime edition of 6 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. It's only spring for another spring three weeks. 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: It's just barely spring here in Minnesota. We're talking it's 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: more like it feels like autumn. But I woke up 9 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: this morning thirty three degrees. Yeah, I thought it was 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: week five when I woke up today. We've gotta be 11 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: breaking down some matchups right, not yet. It's uh, you 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: can never trust Minnesota. It was eighty five degrees two 13 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: days ago and it was thirty three when I woke 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: up this morning. I struggle when the temperature shifts like 15 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: this too, with like allergies and stuff. I don't know 16 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: about you, but I hate it. From what I understand you, 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: you struggle sexually these big temperature changes, and I can 18 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: I guess you know that's it's nothing to be ashamed of. 19 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: You got films for that. I'm that sedition of Yes, 20 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: this sedition of Fantasy Football Weekly. We will um, you know, 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: performance problems here on thing. We will break down the 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: relevant rookie tight ends, of which there are only a couple. Honestly, 23 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: we're gonna touch on five, but some of these anna 24 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: be very short because I don't think they're very relevant. Um, 25 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: but we'll maybe spend at least that much time and 26 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: maybe more on the two big stories that affect fantasy 27 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: football that have come up this week. And the first 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: is Aaron Rodgers, who does not show for O t S, 29 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: which is not really a surprise and really helps validate 30 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: what has already been widely reported about Rogers and the 31 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: way who By the way, he's in Hawaii loosing it up. 32 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's he's living a good life 33 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: right now. He's got he's uh, he's mastered the he 34 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: looks like Jake Jillen Hall in Nightcrawler too. He's got 35 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: like the nicely greasy like slick back. I don't he's 36 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: living his best life. I guess whatever, however, he deems 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: that his life is pretty good. That's all right. I 38 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: want to I want to talk through Fantasy Valley for 39 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: Rodgers and protecting this right now from people that are 40 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: drafting now in Best Balls or whatever, man he's going, 41 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: he's at a heavy discount, and I think it's a mistake. 42 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: Let's talk through the three realistic scenarios for Aaron Rodgers. 43 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: Number one, he stays in Green Bay, where he is 44 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: scheduled to make ninety million dollars over the next three years. Nine. Now, 45 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: you can be the host Jeopardy and you can do okay, 46 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: you can do a lot of things in life. You 47 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: it is so hard to make that kind of money 48 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: for anybody. He's doing. The one thing that he can 49 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: do they can pay him the most money is to 50 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: be quarterback, and staying in Green Bay still has a 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: lot of possibilities for him he doesn't have. It's not 52 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: like he can absolutely wind his way out of town. 53 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: And if the team plays our ball with him, there's 54 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: a great chance he'll crack because he wants the thirty 55 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: million a year that he that he wants to make. 56 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: So that's scenario number one, and in that scenario, his 57 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 1: fantasy value remains every bit as high as it would 58 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: have been if he stays in green Bay. Scenario number 59 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: two goes to Denver, where they have a far deeper 60 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: set of receivers, they have anybody as good as as 61 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: Davante Adams, but you get Courtland Sutton and Jerry Judy 62 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: and Noah Fant and a couple of running backs and 63 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: catch a bit like Tim Patrick to throw him in 64 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: there too. Aaron Rodgers fantasy valley could be even higher 65 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: in Denver than it is in Green Bay. That's a possibility. 66 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: So in two out of the three realistic scenarios, he 67 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: still has high fantasy value. Then I'll give you the third, 68 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: and I think it's still I think it's the least 69 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: likely realistic scenario. Retires, he says, you know what, forget it. 70 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I've made enough money. I'm gonna be 71 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: comfortable for the rest of my life. I don't want 72 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: to play for for Green Bay. Mout. I think it's 73 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: very unlikely that he walks away from ninety million dollars, 74 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: Like never in the history of sports has anybody walked 75 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: away from ninety million dollars. So, you know, I don't 76 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: believe that that's a realistic scenario at all, you know, 77 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: And if he does that, you know, sure you'd be screwed. 78 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: But what are the what are the odds that? And 79 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: they were the retirement angles like at most, but I 80 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: mean maybe a little higher. If Green Bay they were 81 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: a contender last year and they they should have won 82 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: their playoff game when they kicked the fuel roll down 83 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: eight with like still obviously we want to revisit that. 84 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, so highly doubt that he retires. But he 85 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: also we want to talk about the ripple effect for 86 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: the packers of skill players. If Rogers leaves and we 87 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: have Davante Adams, who's wide receiver, one wide receiver to 88 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: one or the other. In most people's minds, Aaron Jones 89 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: is a top five, top seven running back as of 90 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, he's sculling in drafts betw Lean the 91 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: end of the first in the middle of the second round, 92 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: those two bumped down around easily. If Rodgers leaves and 93 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: a guy like Robert ton In got a lot of 94 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: love right now undraftable. If Aaron Rodgers leaves, a view 95 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: like he's going at the top ten tight end right now. Okay, 96 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: let's play that out for just a minute, though. If 97 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: he goes to If Aaron Rodgers goes to Denver, which 98 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: I think is the by far the leader of the clubhouse, 99 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: if he's going to go somewhere. Um, if he goes 100 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: to Denver, there's a good chance that Drew lock comes 101 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: back to Green Bay, or maybe Teddy Bridgewater goes back 102 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: to Green Bay where there's some there is you know, 103 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: quasi competent quarterbacking. Not great in either case, but quasi 104 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: competent quarterbacking in each case. What are the chances I've 105 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: seen crazy ideas thrown out there where Denver Tray is 106 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: not only for Aaron Rodgers but Davante Adams too, And 107 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: then Green Bay gets a locker Teddy Bridgewater or both 108 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: of them, and uh and one of those guys. Maybe 109 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: you know they could get they could get younger at 110 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: the position. They can make it work. Those two teams, 111 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: it seems like they can get work. I don't have 112 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: the exact cap numbers in front of me, but they 113 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: both got Uh. Yeah. So that long and short of 114 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: all of this about Aaron Rodgers, draft him, take the 115 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: discount and draft Aaron Rodgers. There's such a high probability 116 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: that he ends up in a fine landing spot chip 117 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: on his shoulder. Um, I think there's I just I 118 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: don't think it's realistic to suggest he won't play. And 119 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: if he's playing in green Bay or Denver, He's gonna 120 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: be fine. Agreed, And uh, what you need to be 121 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: worried about or somewhat worried about the Green Bay guys 122 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Aaron Jones, Robert Tonyan drafting them now knowing 123 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: there's more value. And then on the flip side, and 124 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: the guy like Courton Sulton is going way too late 125 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: already even if Petty Bridgewater Drew Locke is his quarterback, 126 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: but bilow on him right now and that stock goes 127 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: to the roof if Rogers goes to Denver. Obviously agreed, agreed, Um, 128 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: all right, let's talk Julio Jones confirming a story that 129 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: we talked about last week. At this time last week, 130 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: it was more in the rumor mill that Julio Jones 131 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: was possibly leaving Atlanta, So we talked about it a 132 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: bit last week. Well, now it's been confirmed by Julio Jones, 133 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: whether or not he knew he was on national radio 134 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: or not. Um, he's uh, he's he's going. It looks 135 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: like he's going to be leaving. And then the team 136 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: will try to facilitate a trade. Now the team's lost 137 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: some leverage because of Julio coming out and saying he's 138 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: requested a trade. Nevertheless, let's talk about some of the 139 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: landing spots. Brian Tennessee is the one that's most most 140 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: connected to him because it checks all the boxes. Quality quarterbacking. Uh. 141 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: They already have another good wide receiver there, a j 142 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: Brown that would take some of the heat off of 143 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: Julio Jones. He doesn't have to carry the whole receiving offense. Um. 144 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,119 Speaker 1: Plenty of volume would still be there for Jones. And 145 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: you have a win now team For a veteran player 146 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: who wants to go to a winner, he doesn't want 147 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: to go to a rebuilding team. Leo Jones doesn't well 148 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: balanced offensive course with Derrick Henry. Maybe overly balanced in 149 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: the minds of some. I mean it is a run 150 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: first orientation. Tennessee had the third lowest passing play percentage 151 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: last year. Do you think they would change that philosophy? 152 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: Julio Jones is good for five extra percent. We want 153 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: to crap all over Corey Davis, but in this sense 154 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: Weekend he's um. It's just as a quick side know man. 155 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: Julio Jones has played hurt as much as any position 156 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: play over the last five years, dude is so tough 157 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: and I I and he's been so productive despite the injuries. 158 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: And last year was really the first year he missed 159 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,599 Speaker 1: a lot of time in previous seasons. Briant, he was 160 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: hurt a lot. Dude played through it. He had literally 161 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: played pretty well. Yeah, he had over Uh, he's played 162 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: at least fourteen games and every year almost everywhere, only 163 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: played five games, and that and last he played in 164 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: nine games. And those are the only two years he 165 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: finished under a thousand yards. I'm sorry he finished under 166 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: a thousand yards as a rookie. Only played thirteen games 167 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: that year. But Julio, he's thirty two. He's definitely on 168 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: the tail end of his career. And yeah, but that's 169 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: not an ancient no, he's he's got some gas in 170 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: the tank. Us have some gas in the tank. The 171 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: other landing spot he is widely connected to his New England, 172 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: where he becomes the obvious go to receiver, easily topping 173 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: Nelson Aguilar and Jacoby Myers and Kendrick Boorne. The obvious 174 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: question mark here would be quarterback, right, Mac Jones will 175 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: need time to develop. Cam Newton sucks and so that's 176 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: the you know that would be that would be the 177 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: question about you know, who's getting him the ball and 178 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: how well is that guy getting him the ball? For Jones, 179 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: who might otherwise say like no to a try to 180 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: fight a a move to New England, You're you're going 181 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: to the most successful NFL franchise in the last you know, 182 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: twenty five years. And Bill Belichick's there, so you know, 183 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: he may accept that. He may accept that as a 184 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: as a landing spot one other we'll call it a 185 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: dark horse. But Arizona has been thrown out there too. 186 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: And there is a picture of Julio, DeAndre Hopkins and 187 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: A J. Green a few years ago and they supposedly 188 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: were like talking down the line we should all play 189 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: together one day. But uh, I don't know if that 190 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: will happen. That would be deep a receiver. There's no 191 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: way including hitting the draft at it with a midround 192 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: pick at the position. I don't I don't see that happen. Now. 193 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: They probably have to send like ron Dale Moore, who 194 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: they just drafted back to Atlanta with maybe Christian Kurb. Yeah, 195 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: that's so. Where I've got Julio Jones right now is 196 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: wide receiver seventeen, which factors in his age. They you know, 197 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: the injury that seemed to be mounting on him, and 198 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: the fact that I don't know where he's going and 199 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,599 Speaker 1: it may be a less desirable spot than Tennessee or 200 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: New England. Does that sound about right to you? Brian? 201 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: Wide receiver seventeen for Julio Jones, Yeah, right about now, 202 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: and just ranking the standing in Atlanta, which is really 203 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: not gonna happen, but we'll just do it anyway. But 204 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: I would say number one landing s about Tennessee. Yeah, 205 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: staying okay, wait, stop right there, Okay, my number one 206 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: ranked wide receiver is a J. Brown, I understand. And 207 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: that doesn't change that? Would that change? Would that not 208 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: change anything for you? I think it might just make 209 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: him a little make the case a little stronger for 210 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver one. I'm not I would not be upset 211 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: if Julio. A lot of people would be saying, oh 212 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 1: my god, Hulu Jones. Now a J. Brown is not 213 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: gonna produce as much. He might produce more with Julio Jones. 214 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: I think he would. I think he would get less, 215 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: fewer targets, but better targets because defenses couldn't just double 216 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: and triple a J. Brown like they can now. Um, 217 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: and so I I don't know that I I'm kind 218 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: of with you. I don't know that I would move 219 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: A J. Brown out of spot number one. But part 220 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: of my rationale in putting him a spot number one 221 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: was the hundred and sixty targets that he might get 222 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: in that offense. One would assume he's looking at that 223 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: kind of volume, and he only had about hundred little 224 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: over a tick over a hundred targets last year and 225 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: the numbers he put up or top ten, Yeah, we 226 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: all know if he gets that volume to the moon. 227 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: If you were starting a new NFL franchise, what receiver 228 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: would you pick first? Right now? Or we're just doing 229 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: a dynasty draft, right, it's a J. Brown pretty much? 230 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: I yeah, A J. Brown? Right? Yeah? I mean you 231 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: know what, we know there's some guys, Yeah, maybe they 232 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: us a J in the next year or two. But yeah, 233 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: I know, he's He's the one I'd go with. Justin 234 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: Jefferson is in that conversation, Ceedee Lamb might be in 235 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: that conversation as young really talented receivers that um, and 236 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: you know what, you know, what we gotta do, maybe 237 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: I'll do it next week. We still a podcast on 238 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: second year rookies that we think can blow up, that 239 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: can be far better than they were in year two 240 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: than they were in year one. And it doesn't mean 241 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: that they were bad in year one necessarily, but guys 242 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: that we think could take a big incremental step up, 243 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: like a Seedee Lamb who right in his second year. 244 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: These are and the reason it's so salient this year, 245 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: no O t A is no mini camps, no training camp, 246 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: no reseason games for all these rookies. So a lot 247 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: of guys that we thought that would be more productive 248 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: than they were have in their second year this year 249 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: roll into O T S and mini camp and training 250 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: camp and preseason games and are going to explode in 251 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: in your number two. I think there's a bunch of 252 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: rookies like that. Sounds like a good idea. Let's do 253 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: that next week. Maybe Matt will do it, though not me. Well, 254 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: that could be why I did something I should know 255 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: scheduling thing. Okay, Well, if the weather keeps shipping in, 256 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: my problems keep I wasn't aware of. That's alarming to me. 257 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: But we'll talk about that off there. Let's go to 258 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: the let's go to the tight ends, the rookie tight ends. 259 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: We're only going to cover the tight ends taken through 260 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: the top three rounds. I don't think any of the 261 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: other ones are probable helpers without getting some serious breaks 262 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: that go their way. Uh from fast stamp out and 263 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: not even these five guys are all helpers. Let's begin 264 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: with Kyle Pitts. Bloud I don't spend a ton of 265 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: time on him because everybody already knows a lot about 266 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts at this point. I think the most salient 267 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: part of the conversation is how and we were talking 268 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: about Julio Jones, So you know, let's assume Jones leaves. 269 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: What do you think Kyle Pitts can do this year? 270 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: Is the is the biggest question. We know. Everything suggests 271 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: long term he's going to be awesome and in a 272 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: dynasty format he could be You're starting tight end for 273 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: a decade. What do you think he could what's a 274 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: reasonable assumption for Kyle Pitts this year? If Julio leaves, 275 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: He's essentially going to play wide receiver because they still 276 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: have Hayden Hurst and he's gonna be the in line blocker. 277 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: He's going to be the more traditional tight end, and uh, 278 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is essentially gonna be running wide receiver two 279 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: opposite of Calvin Ridley. And before this whole Julio drama, 280 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: there's a ton of love for Kyle Pitts in redraft alone. 281 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: He was like tight end four or five. After the 282 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: big families two are taking Hackinson or Pitts. Is it 283 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: too early now? Though, under the assumption that Julio it is, 284 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: is it for me? Well we all know for in 285 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: re draft it is the horrific history of rookie tight ends. 286 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: It's brutal. I got I got some okay, good, alright, go, 287 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna quiz you here. There's been one rookie tight 288 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: end in the history of the NFL to um have 289 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: over a thousand yards and uh, well end more than 290 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. There are two rookie wide receivers that have 291 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: double digit touchdowns. But who has had a thousand yards 292 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: and double digit touchdowns? Only one? Jeremy Shocky. No, I 293 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: thought he had two touchdowns, that was it. Okay, he 294 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: had the second most yards though he had a good year. 295 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: He did seventy four catches nine four yards. Only the 296 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, but for a rookie tight end, and you 297 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: know he was not on your fantasy team or anyone's 298 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: fantasy team. The correct it's Mike ditka is in fourteen games, 299 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: nearly eleven hundred yards in both touchdowns inane but modern 300 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: era it's there's virtually no production for rookie tight ends. 301 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: Gronk Head ten touchdowns, we had like five yards he was, 302 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: so the history is not on pit side. The average 303 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: season for first round tight ends going back to I 304 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: believe it's two thousand and I and these numbers are 305 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: gonna be close, but not exactly corrects. I don't have 306 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: it quite in front of me. The average numbers for 307 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: the season season totals is right around thirty catches, three 308 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: hundred yards and two touchdowns for first round tight ends. 309 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: So for Kyle Pitts to be tight end four or five, 310 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to be like threefold fourfold better than 311 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: than other first round tight ends. And maybe he will be. 312 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's impossible, but as high as we 313 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: are in him, remember you know, we were high in 314 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: t J. Hockenson, you know, and you know, and he's 315 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: gonna have a great career, but it's just the tight 316 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: end position just takes time. Agreed U in Dynasty though 317 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: super flex. I'm not taking Pits first overall in a 318 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: startup or in my rookie draft, but he's the first 319 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: non quarterback off the board. I have no problem with that. 320 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: No problem unless I somehow you know, I'm sitting on 321 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: Darren Waller or something like that. But if I'm not 322 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: holding that guy like wall or if you're holding key 323 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: because now you know Kelsey starting to get long in 324 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: the long in the tooth, no I would. I would 325 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 1: take Pitts. I mean, he's arguing to be the most 326 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: valuable asset moving forward, and Kelsey is still extremely valuable. 327 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: So if your team goes kind of belly up, you 328 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: move Kelsey. So yeah, no problem drafting Pits with Kelsey 329 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: and roster already. The second Tite had taken was Pat 330 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: friar Mouth, and he's an interesting guy that people don't 331 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: know nearly as much about, but I think he's got 332 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: some real potential to him. Um, when we broke him 333 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: down before the draft, we talked about the nickname he 334 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: had picked up, Baby Gronk, and I'm like, you know, 335 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: I had a million guys have been called baby Grind, 336 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: but the reality is he really is kind of a 337 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: baby Gronk. I mean he is. He physically and stylistically 338 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: is really close to Gronk. Um. He's incredibly physical, just 339 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: punishing potential tacklers. Um. He's got good ball tracking skills 340 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: and he is a basketball player turn tight end and 341 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: a lot of times those guys do have good ball 342 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: tracking skills and good hands, which he's got. He gets open, 343 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: he can he can shake defenders, and he's an excellent blocker. 344 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: He is a he is a great fit. Now. He 345 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: went to Pittsburgh, Brian, which means that I think this 346 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: year he platoons with eric Kebron, and it means I 347 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: think he's gonna not gonna be all that startable this year. 348 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: But Ebron is on the last year of his deal 349 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: and Friar Muth is going to be the starter beginning 350 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: next year, and he I think he'll pay dividends at 351 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: that point. I agree. But yeah, this year, I'm a 352 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: little worried about Pat, especially in the red zone with Ebron, 353 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: because you I would still think they utilize Ebron majority 354 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: of the time in the red zone Pittsburgh this year. 355 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: But like you said, this year her future. He's gonna 356 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: he's got top ten, top twelve tight end potential moving 357 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: forward from Pat Frearmouth way off people's radar and in 358 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: in uh in Dynastu rookie drafts. You're gonna be able 359 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: to get him deep in the second round, beginning of 360 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: the third round. And I'm telling you, I think that 361 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: he's got the upside too. It's got the upside. Now 362 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: I can't tell you the Steelers quarterback is gonna be 363 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: next year. That worries me a lot because it's not 364 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: gonna be bad. We're gonna talk more about my distain 365 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: for Steelers this year, uh in a future show. The 366 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 1: next tight end taken was Hunter Long, who went to Miami. 367 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: This is not an ideal landing spot. No Hunter Long 368 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: out of BC in the third round, the eighty first 369 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: overall picked by the Dolphins. Kind of a head scratcher 370 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: because Miami drafted like a sicky in the second round 371 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: right three years ago, and he's evolving into one of 372 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: the better tight ends and football. The Dolph Dolphins also 373 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: have Adam Scheheen, who they kind of like, who's like 374 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: third round picked by the Bears. They traded for Um 375 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: but Miami must really like Hunter Long out of Boston College. 376 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: He does sound like a well rounded tight end, UH 377 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: good route runner in good hands, a really good blocker. 378 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: Miami supposedly wants to utilize like a two tight end formation, 379 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: but he seems like the more inline blocker of the 380 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: two between Giscki or even if I trust Adam Shaheen 381 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: more as a pass catcher at this point, So zero 382 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: readraft value and just still dynasty going forward. He's behind. 383 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: That's not gonna beat out kick. I watched a lot 384 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: of Hunter Long. He is a good tight end. He's 385 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: just there's n I saw nothing special about his game. 386 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: They threw to him tons at at BC, he was 387 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: the focal point of the whole offense. But he's a 388 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: guy who doesn't He can't like run away from anybody. 389 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: He can't get a lot of separation. He's I just 390 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: he was just kind of a guy to me, and 391 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 1: I just he doesn't have nearly the skill set that 392 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: Kiseki's got, So I just don't see anything here for Hunter. 393 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: He needs injury to pave away for him, and that 394 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: that might even be in year two, year three, year four, 395 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: He's gonna be a helper in reality football, but not 396 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: so much in fantasy. Um, let's go to the next 397 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: tight end taken, and that was Tommy Tremble who ends 398 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: up going to Carolina. Nothing to see here. This is 399 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: a pure run blocking tight end. He was PFF's top 400 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,479 Speaker 1: ranked run blocker at the position. And that's the end 401 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: of it. I mean, you know, you know where the 402 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: people who are affected by Tommy Trumble going to Carolina 403 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: are Christian McCaffrey and maybe Sam Donald, who you know, 404 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: gain a good blocker. That's it. Well, and he's he's 405 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: blocked by Dan Arnold two, so he has no because 406 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: of Tommy Arnold's knees. And then lastly, the final tight 407 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: end taken in the third round was Trey McKitty from 408 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: ends up going to the Chargers where you know, Chargers 409 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: lost Untral Henry. He's got an opportunity here to develop 410 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: in that system. What what are your thoughts on Trey 411 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: McKitty who ends up going by the way he was 412 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: PRIs projections like round six it was a bit of 413 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: a surprise move for the Chargers. Well, I'm not I 414 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: might not be the first one who dubbed him this, 415 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna call him Tray Hello McKie, that's his nicknames. 416 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: Pretty athletic, but he's pretty raw too. Um very limited 417 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: production at Georgia last year he transferred from from f 418 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: s U did not put up big numbers. He's a 419 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: project uh right now. He was drafted for his blocking skills. Uh. 420 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: He'll have an immediate role as an inline blocker, most 421 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: likely with um l A, but uh, the potential to 422 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: make an impact through the air is not gonna be 423 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: there this year. He's Uh. He's been called a body catcher, 424 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: which is not good. His body very very limited route 425 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: tree and but the Chargers do see a lot upside 426 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: in him as a pass catcher. So zero redraft um value. 427 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: But the guy if fifth six round in my rookie draft, 428 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: if I got a spot and at in a tight 429 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: end at six rounds in your rookie draft, you'll take 430 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: anybody with a pulse, and uh, we love the offense 431 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: moving forward for the Chargers. But I don't I don't 432 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: want to. Don't forget Donald parhamham X of XFL fame, 433 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: who came on late last year when Henry was hurt 434 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: at times, and of course Henry gone. Now he's the starter. 435 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: This year, right, don't don't get that twist sneak und 436 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: sleeper in any format. Yeah, keep heke, keep an eye 437 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: on Donald Parham because uh yeah, the Chargers, They're going 438 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: to be a fun team. All right. So next week 439 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: we cover second year players who we think have the 440 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: chance to get a lot better in year two, and 441 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: that that would mean guys like Zack Moss, who I 442 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: think is in a position to potentially get a lot 443 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: better in year two. I've held strong on Zack Moss 444 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: and but it could also be justin Jefferson is going 445 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: to go from being runner up for Rookie of the 446 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: Year to being a top seven wide receiver as an example, 447 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: if you think that's coming, and maybe my boy, you 448 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: know Benjamin will get a carry. Wouldn't that be nice? 449 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: You love the you know Benjamin. At this time last year, 450 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: my first Devy player did not go well. A couple 451 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: of years ago, I took it with my first day 452 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: be player. I made up for it last year by 453 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: taking Kyle Pitts. Al Right, I had no idea who 454 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts was at this time last year. I barely did, 455 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: but uh G new enough good for you. Um And 456 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: then after that I think we start getting into breaking 457 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: down every division and just talking through the four teams 458 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: in each division and everything you need to know about 459 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: those teams from a fantasy standpoint.
