Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel will split first team snaps during the week's

44
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: teams Week two preseason game versus Washington on Monday. Who's

45
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: gonna play first? It's a big question. Starter is expected

46
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: to be named on Thursday. Guys, we know our Fantasy

47
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano loves himself Johnny Football because

48
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: running quarterbacks tend to do pretty well. But what do

49
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: you think Johnny Football is Fantasy season is kind of

50
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: playing out to be. Is he a guy that you

51
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: should stash on your roster as a potential QB two

52
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: and standard ten team leagues? Well, let me say this

53
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: hell to then, because when it comes down to Johnny Manziel,

54
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: it just doesn't work that way. I love this talent.

55
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: I think he's going to have a future in the

56
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: National Football League, hence why he was drafted twenty two

57
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: overall in the NFL, but it doesn't translate over to fantasy.

58
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: There's one guy that's the X factor here that gives

59
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: him an ability to be draftable and that's Josh Gordon.

60
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: Everything is based on Josh Gordon. Right now. I have

61
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: him ranked as my twenty one quarterback. He's not draftable.

62
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm staying away from him. You know, I went two

63
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: thousand three. When I say tight hell to the know

64
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: that's gotta be circa ninety four. You know, Johnny Mantel.

65
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: I know why FABS loves him, and I get it.

66
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: The running ability is great, but unless you're gonna take

67
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: a late round flyer and feel like stashing perhaps a

68
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: QB three on your bench, I'm not a big fan

69
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: of his either of far, and I agree with you.

70
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: Everything runs through Josh Gordon. We know the situation there.

71
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: The other pieces on this offense just aren't strong enough

72
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: to warrant playing him, especially when you get into a

73
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: playoff run. Unless he is something that we are just

74
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: not expecting, which hypet. Yeah, don't let his hype, you know,

75
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: destroy your type. You have a certain type for your roster.

76
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: Don't let him do that to you. I do think though,

77
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: that he's maybe rosterable, but maybe not draftable. If that

78
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: makes any sense. You can wait for him maybe in

79
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: week four or five. All right, let's talk Cowboys Cowboys

80
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: owner Jerry Jones told r L d f M that

81
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: Tony Romo will see quote a few series on Saturday

82
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: versus the Ravens. Romo sat out last week's game as

83
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: a precautionary measure. Two offseasons, two back surgeries. He's thirty

84
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: or four years old, and maybe that's why fantasy managers

85
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: are shying away from him. His current average draft position

86
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: has him as the twelfth quarterback taken off the board

87
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: and on average be taken in the eleventh round in

88
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: ten teams. Ten team leaks too high, too low, Elliot

89
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: will start. I would never do such a thing unless

90
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: I was covered by b roll. I would have Tony

91
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: Romo higher than twelve. Think about this. The Cowboys last

92
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: year finished fifth and point score okay? And they finished

93
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: eight and eight? What's wrong with this picture? The defense

94
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: stinks and guess what, the defense only got worse, which

95
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: means the Cowboys are gonna be in track meets? Right,

96
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are in track meets? What's that mean? Fantasy

97
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: points for your quarterback? There is no way, no way

98
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: Tony Romo will be twelve and fantasy points scored. He's

99
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: been a top ten Fantasy quarterback year after year after year,

100
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: but the people don't like him. He yeah, he's gonna

101
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: be sitting there in the eighth or ninth round. That's alright,

102
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: Perl The Houston Chronicle. On Wednesday, Arian Foster and Andrea

103
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: Johnson will turning to practice for the Texas. Both players

104
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: missed most of the training camp do to aftering injuries.

105
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: So here's the question, off bar. If Ryan Fitzpatrick is

106
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: the text soon starting p B, how do you think

107
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: that's gonna impact Andre Johnson's numbers and season. Well, it's

108
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: gonna impact Andre Johnson's number a big time. But that

109
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you don't draft him. You know, there's

110
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: a time that when we looked at Andre Johnson, he's

111
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: a guy that you wanted to grab, you know, as

112
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: high as the second round. Absolutely, he's not in that

113
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: area anymore. He's the guy that I'm looking to grab

114
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: somewhere in the fourth round. That's because you can't rely

115
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: on a guy like Ryan's Fitzpatrick. We saw that throughout

116
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: his career. We saw that in that first preseason game.

117
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't give me any reason to believe that somehow

118
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: he's going to magically get better. But the one good

119
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: thing about Andre Johnson that you can continue to trust

120
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: is that even with match Shop meltdown last year, even

121
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: with case Keenan coming in there unproven, he still was

122
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: able to get his and ball out. So you better

123
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: believe you're getting a great value of the fourth round

124
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: with Andre john I mean Patrick Peterson for two touchdowns

125
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: in Arizona with case Keenan, right, and and to your point,

126
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: something to keep in mind. Uh, in that disastrous Johnson

127
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: still managed to collect a hundred and nine receptions found

128
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: yards five touchdowns. Pretty good top twenty wide receiver, no doubt.

129
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: But let's take a look at the top ten scoring

130
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: whiteouts from last year. Josh Gordon Ryan at the topman,

131
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: this is a guy who might not even play this year.

132
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: It's crazy Damarius Thomas obviously there, Calvin john It's in

133
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: the usual cast of characters. I think the one name

134
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: that does surprise me on that list, and I mean

135
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: no disrespect by this, but Antonio Brown number seven sitting there. Uh.

136
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: You know this is a guy that in the year

137
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: previous wasn't even in your top twenty five, and yet

138
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: he found so great chemistry with Ben Roethlisberger. All Right,

139
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson almost always the first wide receiver taking off

140
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: the board and universal first round pick. But guys, I

141
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: want you to make a case for another wide out

142
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: you think could out transform Megatron. I had the little

143
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: tape deck where the bird I can't remember what that

144
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: guy's name wasn't the only Transformer we could afford. I

145
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: think that would be sound But U K, yes, but

146
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: by your door bigger than me. But but you can

147
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: afford Dez Bryan. You can afford to take him high

148
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: because I think he could outscore Megatron in this year's season.

149
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 1: And basically, here's the thing I already mentioned. The Cowboys

150
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: were fifth in scoring. They lost Jason Hatcher on defense,

151
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: they lost to Marcus Weare on defense, Shaan Lee went

152
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: down to a knee injury off bar. I know I'm

153
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: mentioning defensive players, but Dallas is gonna have to score

154
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: somewhere between twenty six and thirty six a game somewhere

155
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: in that ballpark to beat teams. Who's gonna be the playmaker?

156
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Terrence Williams. Yeah, he's gonna give

157
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: them something. But this is still the number one of

158
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: the offense. And oh, by the way, Jason Witten entering

159
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: year twelve. At some point he's gonna hit the wall,

160
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: which means more production for des Bryant. Well, let me

161
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: tell you who my guy is. It's gotta beat the

162
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas. You remember last year when everybody was so

163
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: concerned about how Peyton Manning was gonna distribute the ball

164
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: between west woke Er, Julius Thomas, Eric acker Will, He

165
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: still was able to be the constant star there for

166
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. We saw that in his production. So

167
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: for me, it's gotta be Demerius Thomas. I mean, he's

168
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: going to go out there and he's gonna get his

169
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: He's going to be immu to Emmanuel Sander, west Walker

170
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: and Julius Thomas production. You can believe that because of

171
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: his physical and athleticism out there on the field. There's

172
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: just not anybody out there. And then you know, Peyton

173
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: man is gonna go out there and just throw the

174
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: ball a ton. I mean they were at the top

175
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: of the league. Go on the ball. So Demerius is

176
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: getting his. Elliott go talk about Brandon Marshall in Chicago,

177
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: all right, Explain me something, Lucy. How does Brandon Marshall

178
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: have eleven more catches, okay, and five more touchdowns and

179
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: al Sean Jeffrey and everybody talks about al Shan Jeffrey.

180
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: How does that happen? I'm just asking, I've throwing it

181
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: out there. How does a guy catch a hundred balls

182
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: with twelve touchdowns and be underrated? Because you know Brandon Marshall, Ah,

183
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: he's in cream. That's wonderful our car. But at the

184
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: end of the day, Chicago, Chicago second in the league

185
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: and scoring last year per game. I love Brandon Marshall's game.

186
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: He is consistent. Why not a bar? Julio Jones is

187
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: a guy that suffered a major injury last year. Can

188
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: he come back and be that fantasy stud again? Absolutely,

189
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: there's nothing that's gonna allow me to believe that Julio

190
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: Jones is gonna be nothing but superb in the two

191
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen season. Think about the first five games.

192
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: That's all I really need to see from the last season. Yes,

193
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: he got hurt, but when you look at those five

194
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: games that he played in last season, a hundred and

195
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: sixteen reception per game. That's big time. So if you

196
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: do that math, whatever that math is, I'm not very

197
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: good at it. But I know that's a lot of

198
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: that's a lot of receiving yards for Julio Jones. You

199
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: can count on him with Roddy White and that that

200
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: running game is gonna come alive. Though I believe DeVonta

201
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: Freeman is gonna get in there with j Quinns Roger.

202
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: That's going to be big for Julio Jones to do

203
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: his thing. And I will say that somebody keep in

204
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: minding PPR leaves. Antonio Brown was the second highest scoring

205
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver in fantasy last year in that format a

206
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: hundred and ten catches. Now, no, Emmanuel Sanders. I'm just

207
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: saying you can get a good profit there. All right,

208
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: Let's throw it over to Molly Caraman Marcus Grant to

209
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: talk about players who disappointed last year blood could come back.

210
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: Big tight toss there, James, I must say, Um, we're

211
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: going to talk about some rebound relationships that we are

212
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: a fan of. Molly Caram here with NFL dot Com

213
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: Fantasy editor Marcus Grant and Marcus, let's talk about some

214
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: players who had a disappointing last year, but you think

215
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: that will bounce back this year. We begin in our

216
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: nation's capital with r G three, who certainly had a

217
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: sophomore slump overcoming that knee injury. He did, and I

218
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: think a lot of it was the knee injury, not

219
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: even physically. I think a lot of it had to

220
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: do with him mentally and whether or not he was

221
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: confident that he could make cuts and he can make

222
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: all the plays that we're used to seeing from him.

223
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: But he's a full year plus removed from major knee

224
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: surgery and he's got a nice new weapon on the

225
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: outside into Sean Jackson to add that to Pierre Garson,

226
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: Andre Roberts coming over from Arizona. Don't forget about Alfred

227
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: Morris in the backfield. There are a lot of guys

228
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: for Robert Griffrom the third to get the football too.

229
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna use that to his best of the best

230
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: of his ability. And let's remember Jan Gruden turned Andy

231
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: Dalton to a top five fantasy quarterback last year. I

232
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: don't think anybody's gonna argue that r G three is

233
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: it more talented and can't reach that same level. How

234
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: about Matt Ryan who gets Julio Jones back in a

235
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: rejuvenated new contract. Roddie White, Yeah, exactly, and you you

236
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: heard talk about Julio Jones and what he offers for

237
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: that Falcon's offense. Now there's no Tony Gonzalez this year,

238
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: but we're gonna spread those targets around between Julio Jones

239
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: and Roddy White. DeVante Freeman is a nice new weapon

240
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: and guy who can catch the ball out of the backfield.

241
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: You still have jack Quiz Rodgers, and maybe Stephen Jackson

242
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: still has something left. But I think Matt Ryan really

243
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: benefits mostly from having Jones back, and I like some

244
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: nice things from him this season. Why will Trent Richardson

245
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: get back on track this year? Because I said so,

246
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: I wish it was that easy, all right season with

247
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: the playbook for Pep Hamilton's I think he's been able

248
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: to watch some film to see where he made his mistakes.

249
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: The biggest key for him is just to be decisive

250
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: with the football. He needs to be one cut and go.

251
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: He can't dance around in the hole. That's his problem.

252
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: But he's gonna get a lot of touches with a

253
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: lack of depth in that Colt's backfield. And I think

254
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: Richardson is going to be a guy that people are

255
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna sleep on this year, but could have some nice number.

256
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: This Texas defense looking pretty good on paper. Jadeveon Clowney,

257
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: the return of Brian Cushing, you're high on them, and

258
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: you've still got j. J. Watt. Of course, he's the

259
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: man that really makes things go for that defense. Jadeveon

260
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: Clowney is going to be a beast to try and block.

261
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: I think having those two guys up front rushing the passer,

262
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: especially with Cushing back as well, is going to force

263
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: a lot more turnovers than what we've seen from the Texans.

264
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: And look at a backward sort of way. Mat Shop

265
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: being gone could help. I know it's a pet peam

266
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: for fantasy owners, but those pick six is count against

267
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: your defense. You don't have that going against you. That

268
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: could help. The Texans numbers this year got as bad

269
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: as they showed last season. Here's a look now at

270
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: your top bounce back candidates. Again, these are rebound relationships

271
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: we are supporting, correct, Marcus. We've got two Dolphins on there,

272
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: and of course the two Texans, So thank you kindly.

273
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: Still to come. How about a game we like to

274
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: call risk versus reward. Our experts tell you which risky

275
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: picks in your draft are worth the reward and which

276
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: guys you need to avoid at all costs. And up next,

277
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: we're talking can all things Packers related? Could Eddie Lacy

278
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: be a top five running back this season? Stick around

279
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: to find out. This is the NFL Fantasy Live. Welcome

280
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: back to NFL Fantasy Live. James co here with Offbara

281
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: and Elliott Harrison, also in a Jordan Cameron look alike.

282
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: Calm down, look at it, Calm down. We talk Packers.

283
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: Say we're tackling the Packers as part of our Fantasy

284
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: two a day series. So, guys, let's start with the

285
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: man under center in Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers. His current

286
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: ADP has him his twenty one, a solid second third

287
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: round pick. Good price for him. Yeah, I think third

288
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: round is right where you have him. I'm totally solid

289
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: with that, Aaron Rodgers. That your main concern is, is

290
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: he gonna hold the ball too long and get himself hurt?

291
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: Off Park You No, I don't think he's gonna hold

292
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: the ball too long. I mean he's got that quick

293
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: release that we've seen out of Aaron Rodgers, and when

294
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: you look at it now, there's receivers. He still have

295
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: the receivers there I mean obviously with Jordan, so he's

296
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: he can find those guys who are gonna get out

297
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: open in the in the zone areas, allow him to

298
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: throw that ball out there for Aaron Rodgers, though, he's

299
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna read quarterback. If people out there and try to

300
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: draft them too high, what you end up with is

301
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: some sort of guy like Toby Gearhard. Because you're running back,

302
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: you don't want that. He's awesome, and sometimes you gotta

303
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: know when to live to play another down. That's all

304
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Could he be better than Breeze this year? Yes, yes,

305
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, No doubt about it. If you

306
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: take him in the third round, he's better than Breeze.

307
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: That's a heck of a price. All right, Well, Eddie

308
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: Lacey be a top five running back in team being

309
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: drafted like he will in a lot of drafts. He's

310
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: the fifth running back off the board. You know, mathematically,

311
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that he's not going to be able

312
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: to do that. And just think about it this way.

313
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: If you think about the top running backs Agent Peterson,

314
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles uh McCoy, once you start going down the list,

315
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, you might where does he fit in. It's

316
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: going to be highly unlikely, but I will tell you

317
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: he will push heavy against the top five numbers this

318
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: year because the way they're going to be committed to

319
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: the run game, they trust the way Eddie Lacey runs

320
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: the game. You think about the zone type running that

321
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna use for Eddie Lacey, find those holes, find

322
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: that lane. It's gonna be Editing is a love child

323
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: and Marshawn Lynch and John Riggins, there's no doubt about that.

324
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: But James, we're talking to commercial break. Okay, I've got McCoy,

325
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: then Charles, then Peterson, then Forte. Then I have Marshawn

326
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: Lynch at the five hole, Eddie Lacey in the sixth whole.

327
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: He is not a top five Yeah. You know. The

328
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: thing with me is I just think that Marshawn he's

329
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: getting up there. Obviously, he's had a lot of carries

330
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: and and I'm pretty confident Seattle really wants to get

331
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: their backup backs some work, especially in terms of a

332
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: financial standpoint. I know maybe people don't want to hear that,

333
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: but I think the team is looking at their salary

334
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: cap number in the future and they want to get

335
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: some of that work in for the some of their

336
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: backup back so they don't have to pay Marshawn Lynch

337
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: the car if he if he hits that wall. Of

338
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch hits that wall all of a sudden, Eddie

339
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: Lacey's number five. Let's talk about wide receivers. Which Packard

340
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver is gonna have the better overall season? A

341
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: very very close Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, act bar talk

342
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: to us about Randall Cob very explosive. I'm gonna go

343
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: with Randall Cop. For me, Randall Cobb is twenty four

344
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: years old. Of course we know that Jordy Nelson just

345
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old. So you look at the age factor,

346
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: then you look at the speed and athleticism factor, it's

347
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: gotta be Randall Cop. Then you look like, who's the

348
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: better guy in space? Come on, it's gonna be Randall Cop.

349
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: Randall Cop has the ability to be that number one

350
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the for the Green Bay Packers, And

351
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: to me, I don't know that Jordy Nelson can compete.

352
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he's bad. Don't get me wrong,

353
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying bad, but it is randall Cop. You're

354
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: a smart man, big sexy. Why rand of Cop hasn't

355
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: even had a thousand yards season yet? Okay, Jordy Nelson's

356
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: had one of twelve sixty three and then had over

357
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: yards thirty touchdowns in the last three years. Seven years

358
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: in the league. Dirty, I don't care. Nobody cares. In

359
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy draw, no one's drafting. Say you know, I'm gonna

360
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: take this guy because you know he's an experience. You o,

361
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: guys play random cops. Four years in the league, and

362
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: one of them he got hurt, So all right, so

363
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: you're going on upside. But you can't take somebody based

364
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: solely on upside. If he's got seven years in the league,

365
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: that means he's seven years of film study, seven years

366
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: of being on the field. I don't think you hit

367
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: the wall at eight years the phone. Let me, let me,

368
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: let me end with this. I'll tell you this. He

369
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: has the ability to separate from coverage and that's way

370
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: better than Jody Nelson. That's what makes him fantasy valuable,

371
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: and that's what makes him the number one. I'm not saying,

372
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: what do you think Aaron Rodger wants to get the

373
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: ball to the guy who's separating from coverage. Jeez, Louise,

374
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: he's not Mariano Rivera. I mean he's We could do

375
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: it all day, folks. All right, Coming up is Aaron

395
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: It's so it's so clean. All right, Let's talk about

396
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: some risk versus reward players. These are the guys that

397
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: are either unproven or have a history of injury and Elliott.

398
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: Let's start with Monty Ball, who might not play until

399
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: after the season opener. With that appendepth to me, Yeah,

400
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that he is a high risk guy though, Molly.

401
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because I don't think he's

402
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: going to go that high in draft. Now. I'm a

403
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: little bit concerned about monte Ball, but not so much

404
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: because of the injuries. Look, you don't always you can

405
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: go oh and to get on the waiver wire, pick

406
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: up a good guy, and then monte Ball starts playing

407
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: for you. You'll be line. So the early season injury

408
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: stuff doesn't bother me as much. What does bother me

409
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: is he only had a hundred and forty touches last

410
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: year and no Sean Marino was really the bell cow.

411
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: We haven't seen him do it yet, and with Ronnie

412
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: Hellman still there. Although I never believe in the San

413
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: Diego State that I'm more concerned about that, but I

414
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: don't think that anyone's gonna go too high for monte Ball,

415
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: so I don't consider him a high risk draft pick.

416
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: Bar Let's move on here to Arian Foster. I was

417
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: at Texas training camp, and all the questions were surrounding

418
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: if this guy would be ready to go. Obviously sideline

419
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: with the back last year, but it's got to be

420
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: a good sign that they cut Andre Brown, right, Well,

421
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: yeah it is, because you know that they still believe

422
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: in Arian Foster. But for me, I just need them

423
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. You know that they're going to rely

424
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: on them. They're gonna have to rely on Arian Foster

425
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: because I believe that Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't what they thought

426
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: they were getting when they brought him into the Houston Texans,

427
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: and so Arian Foster is going to be a big

428
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: part of their plan. But my fear is that you

429
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: continue to play him, you continue to use him as

430
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: that workhorse, and all of a sudden, he starts to

431
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: show more of the same thing injury prone, and all

432
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden, last season he missed eight games. What

433
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: if he gets to ten and eleven and twelve games

434
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: this year that he missed. It's just not one of

435
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: those things I'm willing to take a risk. I know

436
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: the one thing that Aaron Foster wants to do is

437
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: be a good fantasy teammate this year. I mean he

438
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: said that over and over. Right, he's just just trying

439
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: to be a better teammate. But I do agree I

440
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a risk in the sense

441
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: that you just don't know if he's gonna stay healthy.

442
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: He already has some nagging injuries here in camp. The

443
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: one piece of advice I'm giving is, if you're taking

444
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: a chance on Arian Foster, go back later in your draft,

445
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: Go pick up Jonathan Grinds as your handcuffs. Just make

446
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: sure you have that insurance. He's not gonna give you

447
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: Foster like production, but you do want to make sure

448
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: that you have that safety. Not just and simply said.

449
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: He's not your number one, he's your number two. You're

450
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of value in him as you're

451
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: running back to if you're looking for him for the

452
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: one production is over. I know at camp they did

453
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: say he wasn't in paths the first couple of days,

454
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: but they do expect him to carry the workload and

455
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: to thrive in the outside zone blocking scheme. So we

456
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: shall see another question mark though Elliott is Doug Martin.

457
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: Remember what I said about and not being that worried

458
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: about ball. Yeah, I'm really worried about that. It's a

459
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: huge risk because I do think there's someone in your

460
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: draft that is gonna take him very high and pressure you.

461
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: If you're in an auction league, that price is gonna

462
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: start going up and you're gonna feel the need to bid.

463
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: Let me tell you he had one thousand, four or

464
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: fifty four yards his rookie year. Last year he had

465
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: a four or five eight. He just didn't have the

466
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: one comma in front of it. He also average a

467
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: yard per carry less and you don't know that he's

468
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: going to play. They invested a third round draft pick

469
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: in a running back. I don't know how much Doug

470
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Martin is gonna play. I e is he gonna be

471
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: a three carrey guy. I don't see it, And I

472
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: think someone in your draft is gonna go for him early.

473
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: I think he's a major league high risk given on

474
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: the ADP. If you talk about high risk, how about

475
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: Percy Harvin Marcus. I mean, this guy has been injury

476
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: plagued since he played in college and now he just

477
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: injured his ankle on Tuesday. Is he worth the risk here?

478
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: He is not worth a high round risk. And if

479
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: you're taking him mid to later part of your draft,

480
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 1: I think that's a good spot to take Percy Harvard.

481
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: But you know, the injury thing, as you mentioned, that

482
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: is the one thing everybody talks about when you talk

483
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: about Percy Harvard. He's missed twenty two games because of

484
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: injury in the last couple of years. He played one

485
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: regular season game last year. And when he's on the field,

486
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: he's so dynamic. He has great speed, he catches the football,

487
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: he gets it out of the back field. He does

488
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: so many things in that Sea Hawks offense. But Elliott,

489
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: did you like to say sometimes a player's best ability

490
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: ability is his availability. That's the one and because Harvard

491
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: has struggled in that area, he's a guy that I'm

492
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: not putting a lot of stock in unless you're looking

493
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: at him as a third or fourth wide receiver this year.

494
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: Another guy who fantasy owners aren't sure if they can

495
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: trust is one Rob Gronkowski. He missed fourteen regular season

496
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: games over the last two years. What should owners do

497
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: about him because he's so explosive when when he's in

498
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: just still draft him his high I mean, that's what

499
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: it really comes out to. Don't draft him his highs.

500
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: You want to draft him somewhere around the fourth round,

501
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: I think the fourth or fifth round, if he's still available.

502
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: The chances are he won't be because somebody's still looking

503
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: for Rob Gronkowsky to do the ground thing. And Rob

504
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: Romkowsky's had one injury after other injury, and to me,

505
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: this thing starts to see like it's starting to pile

506
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: up for Rob Gronkowski. But I do like Rob Ronkowsky

507
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: and the reason why he's injury prone. I think you

508
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: need to understand that he plays the game on the

509
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: brink of disaster. That means he plays with no personal

510
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: regard or no regard for personal safety, and so that

511
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: always puts him in harm's way. He's physical on the line,

512
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: he's physical in his route running, and he's gonna go

513
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: out there and he's gonna get it. He's going to

514
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: die for the ball. So he doesn't think about safety

515
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: as much. He is as much as everybody else would

516
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: like him to. That's what puts him as a big

517
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: risk just don't draft him. His high. He reminds me

518
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: of Mark Vavarro or Jeremy Shock. He plays physical. When

519
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: you play that physical and you just take on tacklers,

520
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: you're asking for a shoulder injury, you're asking for a

521
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: dislocated elbow. And he plays the game how he lives.

522
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: That's hard and fast. Growing up knocks there all right,

523
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: still to come, We'll tell you which running back to target.

524
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: How's your RV twos? These are the players you need

525
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: to land to solidify your fantasy backfield if you truly

526
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: want to take home the all this year Fantasy Live

527

Speaker 1: rolls on. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. James go

Speaker 1: questions by hitting us up on Twitter at NFL Fantasy.

531
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at the top ten

532
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: of running backs on NFL dot Com based on their

533
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: current draft positions. These are the first ten rbs coming

534
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: off the board right now in the mock drafts on

535
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. No surprise, Adrian Peterson at the top

536
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: of the list. Lashawn McCloy, Jamal Charles Man. I think

537
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: you can really interchange those guys one, two and three,

538
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: Matt Forts, Ryan There, Marshawn Lynch, number five, Eddie Lacy

539
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: Is number six, Aria and Foster, Marco Murray, Levian Bell,

540
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: and Monty fall al Right, guys, let's talk about r

541
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: B two's though. That's a solid cast of characters right there.

542
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: It is. It is. And by the way, Highlander not

543
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: Sean Connery's best film, thank you, very solid film in general,

544
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: though I love the TV show. But moving on, Boddie Bernard,

545
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: this guy is such a hot top it right now

546
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: in fantasy and Marcus, I know you're really really high

547
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: on I am. I think of him. I was calling

548
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: him an RB one and a half. Basically, he's not

549
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: quite a two. He's not quite one. He's kind of

550
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: a tweener. He's a guy see going probably middle aged

551
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 1: second round, possibly in the third round if people are

552
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: sleeping on him a little bit. But I like the

553
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: fact that he's going to get a lot of touches.

554
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: The Bengals are gonna use him in all sorts of

555
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: different ways as a runner, as a pass catcher. I

556
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: like what Hugh Jackson has done consistently with running backs

557
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: in the past. My only fear Jeremy Hill. He's going

558
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: to be a touchdown vulture. And I made the the

559
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: the reference a couple of days ago that Darren mcfatten

560
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: one of his big seasons with Hugh Jackson. He had

561
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: a ton of yards, he had a ton of catches,

562
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: but he wasn't a thumper. Michael Bush led the team

563
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 1: in rushing touches. The problem, Elliott Harrison, Yes, tell him

564
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: why he's wrong. You're wrong because of what you just said.

565
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the problem. That's great if you get

566
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: nine hundred yards rushing in six hundred yards receiving, which

567
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: I could see, but I could also see a five

568
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: touchdown year. And if you're talking about him being a tweener,

569
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: you're saying at the bottom of the first round you

570
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: gotta look at take king him. I think that's a

571
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: little a little early for him. I think he is

572
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: a second round pick. Second round. I think of the

573
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: second round guy. I think I know right now he's

574
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: adp is at three. I think that's moving up. I

575
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: think you'll see him kind of mid to late second round.

576
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: Before it's done. Let's talk about Alfred Morris. Elliott I

577
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: know you're high on him. I am, and I'm actually

578
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: higher on him than Geo Bernard watch out, just just

579
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: so you know, look, the Redskins are gonna have to

580
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: rely on him. R G three took a big step

581
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: backwards last year. How do you help your quarterback out?

582
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: I always hear that it's the tight end. I'll take

583
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: a tail back. This guy proved in his rookie season.

584
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get a ton of work. I

585
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: think this guy will run for at least one hundred yards.

586
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: Hundred yards and he is a first round pick. If

587
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: you're sitting there at eight or nine in the first round,

588
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: you take Alfred Morris. Alright, I'm gonna wax poetic about

589
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: Andre Ellington. I like this guy. Yeah, I like this

590
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: guy a lot, very explosive, love his game, very explosive.

591
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: I love the fact that they're gonna use him and

592
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: fee sure him in Arizona. He had to sit sit

593
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: behind Richard Mendenhall last year. But man, I think this

594
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: year he could absolutely blow up. This is his year.

595
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: Stefan Taylor's is only backup. I don't think it's gonna

596
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: really push him for a lot of carries. I think

597
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the bulk of the word, especially in

598
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: PPR leads. Ellington in limited action last year caught forty

599
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: limited action good receiver. I think last year he had

600
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: about a thousand total yards, four touchdowns, obviously not that impressive,

601
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: but I think this year I could see him surpassing

602
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: total yards, eight to ten touchdowns and fifty catches. If

603
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: you get this guy in a PPR league. Now we're

604
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: pushing him into r V one territory and that those

605
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: are the kind of r V two's you really want

606
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: to get those guys with upside. The only fear for

607
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: me is can he carry that workload over his sixteen

608
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: game season? Just the question We don't know yet. That's

609
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: a very big question, Mark Marcus. I want to stay

610
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: with you, Uh. Toby Gearhard. He had to sit behind

611
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson for a couple of years. Now he's the

612
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: featured back with Jacksonville. There's a lot to like about Toby.

613
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot to like about Toby Garhardt, and I

614
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: think because he sat the at Adrian Peterson. That's one

615
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: of the things that I like about him. You look

616
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: at his numbers and they don't jump out at you.

617
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: Because they have another guy in Minnesota who was pretty good,

618
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: but he's got a lot of tread left on the tires.

619
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: And the opportunities he did get to start and played,

620
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: he made the most of them. You look at the

621
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: numbers in his six career start, sixty seven and a

622
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: half rushing yards. I know that doesn't blow anybody away,

623
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: but he looked good when he got the football down.

624
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: The other thing I like about it is Gus Bradley

625
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. He is a former Seattle guy and he

626
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: has said they want to use Garhart the way the

627
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: Seahawks use Marshawn Lynch. That has to get you excited

628
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: when you look at what else they have in Jacksonville.

629
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: The quarterback situation is still unsettled. They've got a lot

630
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: of young wide receivers they're going to give to be

631
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: Garihart catball. He's going to be their workhorse. He could

632
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: be a guy that approaches three hundred carries this year,

633
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: and that is very rare. Now you know what your

634
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: analysis is excited me and I busted you about Jeero Bernhard.

635
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: One thing you don't have to sub Toby Gerhardt when

636
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: you're inside the five, and that's the problem I worried

637
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: about Jeremy Hill and Cincinnati. Toby Gearhart can stay on

638
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: the field. No reason he can't get eight to ten

639
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. Elliot, I want you to talk about Rashane Jennings.

640
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: This is a guy who's quietly been a contributor in

641
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: fantasy circles for a number of years. I mean he's

642
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: missed a lot of games, yes, but when he gets

643
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: in there, he's actually pretty effective. Can he actually start

644
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: and star for the Giants this year? I think he can.

645
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean we were introduced to Rashad Jennings as a

646
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: handcuff for m j D a few years ago. There

647
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: were some solid starts for this guy in Oakland last year.

648
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: Now in New York, they want to limit Eli Manning.

649
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: They gotta just handed him the ball. They want to

650
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: limit his twenty seven interceptions, which, oh, by the way,

651
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: led the league. How do you do that? You throw

652
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: quick passes and you run the football. Who's gonna be

653
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: catching those quick passes? Number twenty three? Who's gonna be

654
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: running the football? Number twenty three? If he gets you

655
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: a thousand yards rushing and catches fifty balls for you

656
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: and scores eight touchdowns. You're gonna get a steel in

657
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: your draft because I don't think people are gonna be in

658
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: in production. They are not gonna be moving up at

659
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: at pick number thirteen or fourteen for Rashad Jennings. So

660
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 1: I think if you're sitting there and you're in the

661
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: mid mid of the second round or early third round,

662
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: you have to start thinking about take He worries about

663
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: Andre Williams going Brandon Jacobs and getting those goal line touches. No,

664
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: not really. I think every team is going to running

665
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: back by committee. But New York should run the ball

666
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: all more than they did last year. They don't. They

667
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: can't afford Eli throwing twenty seven exceptions forgetting don't want to.

668
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: They can't afford it. In the NFC East, They're gonna

669
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: have to run the football. It doesn't matter if Andre

670
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: Williams gets some care. I will say this, if you're

671
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna draft, if you're gonna draft Shot Jennings, you have

672
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: to absolutely have to handcuff them to Andre Williams. So

673
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: you want to invest there all right? Coming up, our

00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,239

Speaker 1: that board out of their fast straight to my apartment.

691
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: Of course. Absolutely pretty sweet. If you came over for draft,

692
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: you'd be pretty impressed. All right, I'll bring pizza, Okay,

693
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: awesome love. We're gonna look at the defenses that allowed

694
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: the most fantasy points on their home turf to quarterback

695
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: last year. So the Raiders, Broncos, and Giants unceremoniously top

696
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: that list. Let's take a look at some quarterbacks who

697
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: face these teams on the road we should boost your

698
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: fantasy roster and Marcus. We start with Colin Kaepernick. I

699
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: know you like him. He plays five of those ten

700
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: teams on the board. Yeah, he does. In fact, he

701
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: starts it with the Cowboys on the road in Dallas,

702
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: and look, I know. Ellen Harrison talked about how things

703
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: are going with the Cowboy defense. They have regressed from

704
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: last year, which saying quite a bit. Plus the way

705
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 1: the Nighters planning to run their offense this year, they

706
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: may not be quite as run heavy. They've added some

707
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: weapons in the passing games. Stevie Johnson comes over in

708
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: the trade, and you still have Kaepernick's ability to run

709
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: the football. There are a lot of reasons to like him.

710
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: The Cardinals being on this list, they were surprisingly really

711
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: bad at home last year against quarterbacks. They may be

712
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: a team that you can take advantage of, especially with

713
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: Daryl Washington not in the mix this year. Yeah, getting

714
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: those NFC East defenses and certainly helps off set the

715
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: legion of pool. Moving on to Philip Rivers another guy

716
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: you're high on because of his road schedule. Yeah, he

717
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: has the games against the a f C West, the

718
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: teams like the Raiders, even the Broncos had some problems

719
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: last year and their secondary. Of course, Philip Rivers had

720
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: a nice resurrection last season under Mike McCoy in the

721
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: first year, and now they've gotten not only Antonio Gates

722
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 1: to the Titans spot, but lad Darius Green could be

723
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: a sneaky weapon. You add that to Keenan Allen and

724
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: the good things could happen for Philip Rivers. Ryan Tannehill

725
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: playing four of those teams that gave up the most

726
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: fantasy points, and he has to be excited not facing uh,

727
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: facing Rex Ryan and Bill Belichick a quarter of the season.

728
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: They're getting break from them, a little bit a break

729
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: from them. I know. It's a little bit of a

730
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: surprise because Ryan Tannehill is not a guy you think

731
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: of immediately, but he gets the Bills on the road.

732
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: He does get the Patriots, who could have some problems

733
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: at times last year on the road. I mentioned the

734
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: Raiders are on that list, the Broncos on that list

735
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: as well, So Ryan Tannehill, he's a QB two and

736
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: a lot of leads, but maybe a sneaky play depending

737
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: on the matchup. That another way to get a competitive edge. Here, Marcus,

738
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: good stuff. That was Greatness on the Road presented by

739
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: Courtyard by Marriott for more. Now, let's send it over

740
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: to James and the guys. Gentlemen, all right, thanks Molly,

741
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 1: James co here with a bar Basha Biamila and Elliott Harrison.

742
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: We continue our fantasy two and days by looking at

743
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings. They had north Turner as the offensive coordinator.

744
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,959
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Kyle Rudolph becomes a pretty chic

745
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: name in fantasy circles. Chic, very che Elliott, talk to

746
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: me about north Turner. What's his impact going to be

747
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: for the Vikings. I think it's gonna be a solid impact.

748
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: When you look at north Turner's history, They're running back

749
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: and tight end position have always has been productive because

750
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: what his offenses due. You're not gonna see a lot

751
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: of spread formations with four wide receivers. The tight end

752
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: is gonna be going out on pass routes most of

753
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: the time. So if you're tighten is primarily a receiver,

754
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: he's going to get more targets. That's the root alf part.

755
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna poopoo that running back musician. Running

756
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: Backs in North's offense always catch passes. Almost every year

757
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: in his offense, the lead running back has called at

758
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: least forty four balls. I mean, you little taken to

759
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: when I was with North Turner with the Oakland Raiders,

760
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: what he did, especially in practice and what we did

761
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: for game planning. He's gonna run a lot of those

762
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: intermediate routes. His intermediate routes are a little longer than

763
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: most tended twelve yards. For the intermediate routes, your post,

764
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 1: your corners, your digs. And then for the deep ones,

765
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: I mean they're running in fifteen eighteen yards. But the

766
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: thing about uh North Turner in his offense, he loves

767
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: to stress the safeties by sending verticals. And then once

768
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: he stresses the vertical routes, all of a sudden, what

769
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: happens those safeties They become like, oh my goodness, what

770
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: am I doing? So now all of a sudden, you

771
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: have those zones that are a lot bigger. So that

772
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: puts the tight end one on one with the linebackers,

773
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: and those zones become very big and that's why the

774
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: receivers as well do really well in North Turner's offense

775
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: if we can. Obviously, he's got some big names that

776
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: he's worked with. Let's take a look at some of

777
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: the notable tight ends and their best seasons. Like Elliott,

778
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: is that Elliott? I don't have a mustache, like relax,

779
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: Pal Elliott, You look like Jordan Cameron from the Antonio

780
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: Gates two thousand nine. And going to what you were

781
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: talking about, you look at the yards per catch. If

782
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: those routes are five yards deeper, that's five more yards

783
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: for your tight end every time he catches the ball.

784
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: And great. Look, he's worked with a lot of teams.

785
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: His one year in San Francisco, Frank gored and ninety

786
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: five yards rushing. That has everything to do with the

787
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: scheme and how he does it. He's gonna stress stress

788
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: your safeties to create zones fantasy prospects for Kyle Rudolphin

789
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: and say, don't team me up. I know what you

790
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: want to say, donation the people out there and what

791
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: you think Kyle Rudolph might do for the upcoming seas. Right,

792
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm ready for you. I think that Kyle Rudolph is

793
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna have a nice season. I think Kyle Rudolph catches

794
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: sixty balls for the Vikings and I gave him six

795
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: to seven touchdowns. I like him in this offense. I

796
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: think he does have talent James and we have seen

797
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: when he's been healthy that he can be a productive toime.

798
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: He's a big target for a young quarterback and Bridgewater

799
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: gets in there. Is it if you're Teddy Bridgewater, aren't

800
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: you gonna look for your big target over the middle

801
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: that you can see when you're behind that line. Sometimes

802
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: I wonder, though, when you talk about North Turner in

803
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: the tight ends, is it talent is its scheme? I

804
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit of both. I'm not sure.

805
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph is long on talent. I think he's a

806
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: great blocker, huge guy, and he can make life a

807
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: lot easier for Vero Patterson and of course Adrian Peterson.

808
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: Will be the first time that Kyle Rudolph and his

809
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: crew will have a hundred targets, just for the record.

810
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: Like Jay nov Check five Pro Bowls in five years

811
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals before joining the Cardinals, he had before

812
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: joining Dallas, he hadn't even caught a hundred balls I

813
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: think we can talk about this all day. I just

814
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 1: got to move on. If we talk about Adrian Peterson,

815
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nobody in this room bigger an a

816
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: p then you know you know I love Adrian Peterson.

817
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something for all those haters who

818
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: don't think that Adrian peterson hands are strong, shake his hand.

819
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: I've shut. I mean it's strong. So he has the

820
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: hands to catch the ball. And that's what I expect

821
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: for Adrian Peterson. He is going to be more involved

822
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: in the past game than ever. You talked about Frank Gore,

823
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: Elliott and all the other running backs who receiving yards

824
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: go off. I'm predicting for Agrian Peterson get this five

825
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: yards over sixty reception for this season and then his

826
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: running down. They're going to have to rely on them

827
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: because they're still uncertain at that quarterback position. So if

828
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: it's Teddy Bridgewater, they're gonna rely on Adrian Peterson, if

829
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: it's Matt Castle, Heck, it doesn't matter who the quarterback is.

830
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: You have to rely on the talent like Adrian Peterson.

831
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 1: Talk to me, guys about Cordarrel Patterson. Can he take

832
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: the top off of this defense? And do you see

833
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: North Turner being creative with Cordaryl. Absolutely, And I'll tell

834
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: you why because when we were game planning being with

835
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: north Turner, he would take about four shots a quarter.

836
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: That's about twelve shots a game. He was not afraid

837
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: to throw it down. Where's a lot of quarterback excuse me,

838
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: coaches and coordinators they love to kind of play at

839
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: saye and strategize North. You know what, let's just take

840
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: shots down the field. So that means you're gunning it

841
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: down the field. And again that's going back to sending

842
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: those verticals. You're gonna see a lot of that from

843
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: but only if there's big questions at quarterback, can they

844
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: get it down field. I'm not ready to annoint the

845
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: gold jack at the Corderol just yet. It's year two, okay,

846
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: called forty five passes last year. If Matt Castle is

847
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback a somewhat proven commodity, somewhat, I would take

848
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: Corderol in the sixth round. If it's Teddy Bridgewater, I

849
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: go eighth round. I see a lot of check downs

850
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: for Teddy Bridgewater. I think he will be going to

851
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: the running back and tight end, which of course will

852
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: limit those big vertical plays for Corderyl. I know it's

853
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: not a big part of his office, but I do

854
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: still see north Turner being able to throw some screen

855
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: passes out to Corderial, maybe upping his value in PPR leaks.

856
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: A name to keep in mind if you're drafting Adrian Peterson,

857
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: rookie running back out of Georgia south of Jerick McKinnon.

858
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: You got a YouTube and the kid is solid. When

859
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: do we tell that we've all been waiting for our

860
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: experts reveal who you should draft if you land in

861
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: the highly of the number one pick in your standard

862
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: Snake draft. NFL Fantasy Live is back in the fears.

863
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: I welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live, presented by direct

864
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: t v im James co here with all the guys.

865
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: All right, so we saw the top guns from Manning

866
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: obviously sitting pretty at the top, widely being taken as

867
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: the first quarterback this year. But should he be taking

868
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: number one? Overall? Taking a quarterback as a number one

869
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: sounds like crazy talk, quite frankly, but can anyone here

870
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: actually make a case that Peyton should be taking number one? Marcas,

871
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm not that guy, and I know what he did.

872
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: It was fantastic, unbelievable. But just because there are so

873
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: few bona fide number one running backs, if you're at

874
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: that number one spot, you've got to get one of

875
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: those guys just becausitional scarcity. It really it's exactly what

876
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: it is. You get the guy that there are a

877
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: few of, and so you know, if you have a

878
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: chance that the Shawn McCoy, Jamal Charles, etcetera, that's the

879
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: guy you go get. Well, and also think about this

880
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: too with Peyton Manning. Of course last season was I

881
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: feel like it was an anomal it because you're not

882
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna see that again. And you think about the history

883
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL and think about the guys who've had

884
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: big seasons like like Peyton man and Dan Marino. You

885
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: go back to Tom Brady the next season, they're not

886
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: putting up the same type of number. I mean, there's

887
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: a drastic drop off from what they did the previous year.

888
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: So if you're drafting Peyton Manning number one, thinking you're

889
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna get fifty forty touchdowns, like, stop it, it's not

890
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: going to happen. I want to stay with you. I

891
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: think you're you're you're in that Adrian Peterson camp in

892
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: my right and saying that absolutely, you know you've got

893
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: that number one. Overall, that's what you should do. If

894
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna go number one, you might as well as

895
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: go with the strongest running back. Who oh, by the way,

896
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: has a brand new offensive coordinator who's known from making

897
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: the magic happen with the running backs. It's Adrian Peterson.

898
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: I love Adrian Peterson as the number one pick. I'll

899
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 1: never switch from that idea.
