What's been ready for a week 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.640 seventeen kind of is talk about some injuries with we 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.600 have today doctor right, doctor doctor a of inside injuries? 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.400 Is that would be fun? Continue to kind of recap 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.080 the fantasy football season, call out my rankings, call it 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.920 your rankings. Sure have some fun. Absolutely, that's what we're 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.120 gonna do over the next hour or so, without questions, 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.920 get right into it, right down, doctor right, comes up 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:39.000 at the twenty minutes from now or so um, and 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.360 then we go don't really go over rankings for weeks seventeen, 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.080 we reveal them on the show. I assuming you're not 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.320 doing rankings week seventeen. Yeah, I haven't even told Scott, 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:50.720 so I hope he just knows, dude. Week seventeen rankings. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.560 It's like, it's really it's super hard to figure out, 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.559 like which players are gonna play, how long they're gonna play. 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.920 The Cowboys are saying that they're going to play their starters, 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.360 but if they're healthy. Last time that they were in 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.320 this situation, I believe Ezekiel Elliott dressed but didn't play 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.800 at all, and then Dak and des Bryant both played 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.919 five series each, so they weren't in the game for long. 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.480 It's just Week seventeen is just a mess. I know 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:13.959 a lot of people like to play dfs on this 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.440 slate because there's a lot of players that get opportunities 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.040 to play that normally don't. So maybe that's where you 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:20.840 want to go. I really really hope that your season 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:22.679 long is not going this far, But if you do 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.079 have any calls regarding that, keepers the season as a 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.880 whole life. Yes, we said wrestling. Whatever you want to 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.320 talk about A four, four, three, six, seven nine. Would 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.960 absolutely love that. Um, Frank, I want to start today's program, Uh, 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.120 graduating jimnet winning all of our games earlier this morning, 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.320 all of them. He was fantastic. Yes, he put on 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.600 a show. I'm happy. I'm happy you wanted to join 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.440 my team. If you haven't checked that out, please do. 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.000 It's on the man now. It's our Year and Review special. 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.519 We really focus just on a football. We played a 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.720 bunch of games regarding football. Um, it was fun. It 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.760 was fun. Good job about you, Grady. You know I'm 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.240 hosting putting together some interesting stuff. You went down an 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.760 interesting path in terms of stats that used red zone stuff, 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.600 third down stuff. Yeah, because I mean a lot of 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.960 people don't like third downs. Is like, all right, let 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:13.760 me throw this against the wall and see if it sticks. Right. 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.560 It's like like we all watch the game, but it's 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.359 kind of hard to remember third down. I was gonna 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.280 do more basic stuff and I started it and I 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.239 was like, I could eat it's more fun. Yeah, No, 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.240 I'm cool with that, so I did. Um. I saw 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.600 a Evan Silva tweet of it. Earlier or yesterday, I 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.280 should say who you know? And he like may have 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:39.360 been all against the Sequon Barkley draft pick, saying hey, 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:44.880 like you're totally misunderstanding value in drafts. He basically reinforced 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.960 it yesterday, I saying, listen, the se Quon Barkley drafting 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.280 of the New York Giants. We'll just hurt them this 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:51.920 year or next year over the years to come. This 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:56.120 is a decades long mistake. And I'm just like, oh 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.480 my god. But you know, went to the casual fan, right, 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.440 the person who just watched the Giants weekend and week 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:07.280 out and sees the generational talent at St. Bon Barkley has. 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.360 I mean, the guy actually seems like he was touched 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.840 by God or whatever it might be. He's amazing. But 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.600 as we've seen with teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers who 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.080 just kind of like, alright, well, next man up mentality 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.880 like Levian Bell doesn't play. James Conner steps in does 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.120 just as fine. But you know who the Steelers always 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:28.160 have that makes them go. Ben Roethlisberger, the quarterback you 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.360 take away, you know, you take away James Conner from 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.720 the team. J Alen Samuel steps right, in and and 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.560 does great. Now sep Won Barkley is a player that 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.680 can he can outperform the offensive line that's put in 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.919 front of him. I think that we've realized that by now, 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.240 Like the guy's averaging five yards per carry behind that 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:48.320 offensive line. No doubt, he's awesome, He's amazing. What can 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.120 you win with just the running back? And that's what 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.719 it comes down to answer, Probably not? Probably not, that's 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.479 the issue. Realistically, the quarterback that they would have been 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.720 looking at was Sam Donald. And again, you know, we've 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.440 we've spoke about this. This is something that's gonna be 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.120 compared for years and years and years and years. And 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.880 Donald goes on to become, you know, a great quarterback quarterback, 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.720 you know, like if he's solid in The Jets have 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.000 been looking for a quarterback forever to so since man 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:16.840 Donald and sake Bonbarkle, we are gonna be compared for 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.880 a long time. And the next man up, I mean 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.440 you had Josh Allen was the next quarterback taken by 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.960 the Bills. And while he showed some rushing ability, he's 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.080 still pretty raw as a passer. And Josh Rosen is 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.920 this kind of just like um flushed this season down 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.880 the toilet for Josh Rosen because given what he went 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:38.279 through with like changing offensive coordinators, the inept the ineptitude 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.040 on offense, the fact that he you know, he hasn't 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:41.839 had a lot of weapons, he doesn't have David Johnson 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.760 and fits, but like just the way that he was 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.640 used with the offensive coordinators just kind of just like 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.320 all right, we'll sweep this here into the rug. For 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:52.200 Josh Rosen, Um, I think you have to. UM, I 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.560 think you have to because it was the idiot offensive 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.360 coordinator had no business Mike mcquoy being there at this point, Um, 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.839 head coach has never done this before. It was overmatched. 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.440 I think this year and I think you have to 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.560 hope it's more of like a Jared Goff situation. There's 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.160 always a lot of similarities given they went the same 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.080 school or I went playing the same station. To say, um, 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.640 and it looked overmatch and that was a big word 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.159 we have coming back to you when it was about 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.680 Jared Goff. He looked overmatched. The scheme wasn't good enough, 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.359 it was all vanilla. And I think it's a lot 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:23.920 of what you saw this here. I think you'd be 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.960 bringing a brighter offensive mind with Josh Rosen and you 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:28.760 figure out how to get the best out of him. 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.600 There's a lot here, and I ultimately believe you that 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.640 he should get a pass for this. I'm not saying 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.760 that Jared Goff is like a superstar quarterback by any 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:42.360 means um but definitely, but Sean McVeigh gets the best 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.560 out of him. And I think that a bright, young coach, right, 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.760 not even young, a bright, offensive minded coach could get 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.680 the best out of Josh Rosen. And that's why, and 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.520 that's what everyone's trying to find obviously, and I think 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.160 the same. I think the same could be said for 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.000 Middle Drobisky too, right, like he looked over matched last year. 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.120 You're bringing Mattneggie, and I think again, Mr Drobiski has 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.040 worked Mats this year at times. So is Jerry very 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:07.880 raw as a pastor and Jerry cob And I'm not 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.800 saying that Neggie is a coach of Sean Vives or 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.000 Chicago's the offensive weapons that l A does, they don't, 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.360 they don't. You know, Jordan Howard is not Sodd Gurley. 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.720 Sree Cohen's not Todd Gurley. The wide receivers, you know, 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.000 anyone that's like Robert Woods or Brandon Cooks or Cooper 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.640 cop Right, like, so those are not just like apples 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.960 to apples. But Matt Neeggie has been able to get 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.040 the best out of that offense, I believe, and I 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.440 think bringing offensive coach, whoever that may be, will hopefully 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.640 do the same to Josh Rosen in Arizona. I don't 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:36.880 know if you check out these like Dan Orlovsky tweet 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.000 film breakdown things that he does. Yeah, I mean, yeah, 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:43.880 it's it's obviously modeled after um, it's modeled after what 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.720 Brian Baldinger does, but it's fantastic. But yeah, he did 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.920 one yesterday basically with Mattneggie and he was like, you 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.040 know a lot of people break down like cornerbacks and 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:58.880 certain like he basically showed two plays from Matt Naggie. 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:00.960 One like they were both on third down, like he's 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.320 in the same play, but like the safety bit up 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.120 too harder like an out route, and the next time 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.920 he did that same exact route, he had the wide 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.200 receiver break up the field when the safety kind of 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.640 like drove on it. And it was just like he's 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.320 just like, this is what you're supposed this is what 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.800 in game adjustments are all about like when you see 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.560 a defensive player, And for for Matt Nagy to do 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.120 that in game, it's just insane, right because it's not 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.160 like it's not he has time to like break down 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:27.920 every single play. It's not like he went to like 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.080 a film room or whatever and like had the time 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.360 to dissect it. Like it's literally in game, like he 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:38.600 saw something a defensive player did and and basically change 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.559 the route on that play. Like having an offensive mind 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.520 like that, it's just awesome, and uh, hopefully the Jets 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.679 and Cardinals can figure it out. There's more offense better 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:53.599 for fantasy. The I want to get into Frankie, we 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.120 got wrong that I was having a lot of fun 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.320 with that yesterday. Of course you were everything I got right. 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.959 You got wrong. It's we got wrong. So I wanted yesterday, 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.360 so I wanted to hit um, we didn't need to 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.959 do the wide receivers yesterday. I kind of skip that 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.840 knowing that we get into that today. So I wanted 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.160 to get into the wide receivers today. That we just 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:18.520 really just crushed right and got right. No, that we 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.599 were low on just just we're wrong. We that we 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:27.559 just were decimated by the first seven receivers. And this 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.800 is again like a yeah, like everyone has the first 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.760 seven receivers and I'm the same. I told him understand 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.960 that we were right, Like the fantas community was pretty 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.360 right with Antonio Brown, DeAndre Hopkins obviously, oh don't work 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.360 out great, But Julio, Michael Thomas, Dabant, Adams, Keenan Allen 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.800 pretty good about that. They all are really good. AJ 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.520 Green obviously got hurt this year, and I wasn't you 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.959 know on AJ Green at all? Um. Actually, I want 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.800 to pull up my rankings where I had a J. Green, 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.160 but I didn't really. I wasn't really in on him 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:54.880 and all of this year. How do you feel about 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.360 him going forward? It's uh. I think he's in an 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.720 interesting place right now because since Sinnati is a team 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.319 that I could see kind of blowing everything up and 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.760 starting over. That's why I've thrown a J. Green's name 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.320 out there as like a candidate to be traded, whether 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.079 it's the Jets are like another team that has a 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.079 young quarterback that needs a legitimate wide receiver. So I 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.679 could see the Bengals kind of parting ways with the 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.959 head coach and Marvin Lewis Party, parting ways with like 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.400 Andy Dalton and really just starting over right and like 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.640 putting putting this offense in the hands of like Joe 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.640 Mixon and like, all right, we'll get a young quarterback 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.720 in here, and these guys will kind of like grow together. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:29.920 H and A J. Green obviously going to be entering 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:34.280 your contract year next year, and it's very injury prone, 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.080 so like if you can get any value out of him, 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.200 like you could probably still trade A. J. Green legitimately 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.520 for like a second round pick in the NFL, So 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.400 that's something that they'll probably look into doing. So I 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.400 think a lot of it is going to be landing spot. 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.640 But this is you know, this has been pretty consistent 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.200 now with him not being able to finish out seasons 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.199 because if you look at him, as great as he is, 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.160 as long as he is, he's super fragile, Like he's 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:59.040 a skinny dude. He doesn't have doesn't the same kind 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.120 of like monstrous build that like other guys do, like 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.720 Leo Jones that can like play through injuries and all 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.640 these other guys like Davante Adams, who's just like who's 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.480 built crazy. So A J. Green, I think on a 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.480 pre game basis. He could still he could still be valuable, 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.280 but he's just always hurt. I think he's gonna slide 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.520 down draft boards a little bit next year. He wouldn't 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:19.959 surprise me as a guy who goes in the third 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.839 round looking at his year by year production. Right, So, 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.679 like played nine games this year sixteen last year, but 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.319 the actual production was down. He was awesome, but only 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.760 played ten games. So it's like a year on year 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:36.560 off thing. Sixteen only played thirteen games. So I think 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.280 Andy Dalton's uh Andy Dalton, any J. Green are candidates 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.800 to be on other teams. I think A J. Green's 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.440 days of being a first or second round draft pick 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.360 for Fantasy r O I think so too. I think 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.719 we we have finally reached that moment continually down your 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.760 wide or our wide receivers here um admittedly, Greg, I 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.839 just want to bring these up. The vikings. The vikings 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:00.120 were really they were polarizing in drafts. They were very 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.760 hard to figure out. Everyone wanted to not everyone, I 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.960 don't want to speak for everyone. I liked Kyle Rough 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.880 a lot. If you look at the track record of 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.199 her cousins, typically always through to the tight end in 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:14.080 the j Gruden offense in Washington used Jordan Read a lot. 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.400 Whenever Jordan Read was hurt used Vernon Davis. So I 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.680 thought the one lock to be consistent in this offense 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.000 was gonna be Kyle Rudolph. Couldn't have been more wrong. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.920 The most consistent wide receiver was Adam Feeling, a guy 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.080 who also throughout the year dealt with some injuries. Now 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:27.440 two years in a row where he kind of deals 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.280 with some injuries, and I think both guys are super talented. 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.600 But this is just me, Greg, and tell me if 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.640 you thought the same way. I kind of shied away 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.240 whenever I saw Diggs and Feeling like that early third 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.400 round range, I typically went in another direction because I 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.280 didn't want to have to make that decision because I 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.800 didn't know which guy it was gonna be. And now 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.079 we're learning, you know, two legitimate wide receivers and be 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.200 very fantasy viable. You know you have is probably gonna 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.840 be a second round pick next year, second third round pick, 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.079 and Adam Feeling is gonna be in early second round pick. 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.959 Fun Digs at ten, you know Adams thirteen, and I 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.200 had Stefon Diggs at thirteen, Feeland at twelve, I had. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.320 All thirteen of these guys were all super useful for fantasy, 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.680 Like I had Mike Evans at nine, Digs ten, TiO 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.120 Hilton eleven, Tyreek Hill twelve, Adam Feeland thirteen. All those 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.800 guys were valuable this season. Do you try. I don't 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.360 know that I trust Diggs as much as you do. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.600 For some reason, He's just he's not the same player 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.160 when he gets banged up. I gotta look at his 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:27.840 game log. I told you, I told you that's I'm 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.400 gonna that's be my thing next year. I look stefon 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.000 Diggs game log because they feel it's been a little inconsistent. 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.439 It was more inconsistent people realized, like definitely so the 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.280 number because the overall numbers are fantastic, right, ninety four 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.040 not a fantastic good ninety four for nine, seventy four 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:43.840 and eight those are really good. But there are too 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:49.600 many games that we're three for thirty three. That's bad. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:54.920 Week three four for seventeen, Weeks six, three for thirty 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.439 three against the Jets, even for thirty three five for 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.319 forty nine. Were some dozen there, and I mean he 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.320 had eight touchdowns, which I which is good. I don't 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.120 know how well that is. But like even the games 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.640 they touched I'm sorry, even the games he had touchdowns in, 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.679 and I understand that like helps the value obviously three 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.559 forty three with a touchdown he had, I mean it's 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.080 called really good games, of course, but and a touchdown 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.960 that those are I mean game savings. And even even 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.880 that's not enough, right like that in a PPR is 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:29.320 nine points, that's not enough. So it's like, I'm a 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.640 little colder on Stefon Diggs. I think that I thought 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.440 I would be at this point. And he is wide 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.640 receiver fourteen on the year in terms of points per games, 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.080 so so very good. But more of the high end 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.600 wide receiver too. If you remember, towards the end of 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:46.000 draft season, Greg, because of pre season, it seemed like 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:47.800 Kirk Cousins was leaning on Stefan Diggs a lot. I 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.240 remember he scored a few touchdowns in the preseason. Stefon 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.040 Diggs was the one who shot up started going in 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:53.440 the middle of the second round pick. It was a 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.840 very shrewd move by you know, high stakes fantasy players 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.480 starting to really really pull Stefan Digs up to draft board. 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.120 But it didn't work out. Everything that they wanted Stefon 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.560 Diggs to be was what Adam feeling was this season, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.800 what I'm feeling in points per game? Will receive your 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.000 six overall? Will it happen again? Like given, give me 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.480 the numbers and that's great. Are you confident enough to 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.120 draft Adam feeling where he should be going, which is 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.480 the at the turn of the early part of the 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.240 second round. Are you confident to do that next year? 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.040 I'm very confident out of feeling plays plays a lot 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.920 of his snaps in the slot. You know, we've kind 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.920 of beat the dead horse or feed of fed horse. 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.960 The only the only problem is once again, and I 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.520 know for me, one of the we weren't sure who 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.400 would play the slot in Minnesota and one of the 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.880 question marks we had coming into the season was who 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.920 what the new offense is going to look like with 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.880 the Filippo and Kevin's the Fanski in charge. The Filippo's 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.920 gone to Fansky right now, the offensive cording, there's no 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.520 assurances he will be next year. We don't know who 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.640 the offensive coordinator will be in Minnesota next year and 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.440 when they have the same exact questions we had going 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.520 into this year, which you're very frustrating. So the way 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.320 I thought you were gonna go with this is, I thought, 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:05.920 especially if the Vikings win this week and they go 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:07.480 to the playoffs and that's on the back of like 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.920 running the football a lot, and they brings the fans pack, 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:14.600 maybe they trend towards more, you know, being a balanced approach, 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.320 more so than passing as much as they did in 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.520 a lot of games this year. So you know, obviously 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:20.840 more running would lead to less volume than less targets 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.080 for both guys, which could be frustrating. But I think 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.800 Adam feeling just in terms of talent, is warranted early 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.160 to mid second round pick next year. You look at 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.240 here's the thing though, the first half of the season, 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:33.680 right the first eight games. Remember he went over a 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.600 hundred yards for the first eight games of the season. 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:41.440 Each game. Now here the next seven twenty two yards 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.480 in a touchdown, sixty six yards no touchdown, one great game, 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:50.320 twenty eight and one, seventy nineteen yards and zero eight 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.040 and zero. So I know he's kind of dealt with 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.800 like these back injuries, but there's now two years in 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:57.720 a row. But we're like he's kind of trailed off 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.040 in the second half of season, awesome, awesome, awesome, like 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.000 ridiculous first half of the season, Like first eight games 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.199 he was the wide receiver one overall, everyone had him 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.040 like a first round pick. Any it's the next year, 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.840 but you gotta look at the season in totality and 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.200 as consistent as he was in the first half, a 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.000 little bit more in consistent. And second, let's take a 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:16.720 break when we come back and we joined my inside 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.320 injuries is dr a uh talk about all the latest 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.119 injuries with us week and then a little bit later on, 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.159 didn't win the wide receivers and what we're thinking for 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:24.920 next year's stay around.
