We tease this subject at 8 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: the end of the show last week, and that is 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: sophomores that we think are going to improve potentially dramatically 10 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: over last year. So these are these are not There 11 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: is not justin Jefferson, although I think he's going to 12 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: improve as well. But these are the guys who under 13 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: kind of underperformed last year and we think can have 14 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: a much better second year. Super Softmares, if you will. 15 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,959 Speaker 1: Before we dive into these guys, let me mention this 16 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 1: Guarante Leagues are live at Guillotine leagues dot com if 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: you haven't already heard about Guillotine Leagues. The premise is 18 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: you start the season with eight teen players. Every week 19 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: the low scoring team gets cut, all their players go 20 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: to the waiver wire, and pandemonium ensues. As a bidding 21 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: frenzy takes hold for those guys. Eighteen teams because we're 22 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: still getting used to the seventeen week regular season, eighteen 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: week regular season, seven games and game regular season. Yeah, 24 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: so it's um, yeah, it's it's tons of fun.

All right, 31 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: second year rookies, So last year was a tough year 32 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: to be a rookie. Brian no o t a s. 33 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: No rookie camps, no mini camps, no training camp, no 34 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: preseason games, I mean, all those things working against that 35 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: rookie class. Last year. They have the Zoom meetings in 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: place of in person meetings. I mean just every almost 37 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: everything outside of like injury that could be folly class 38 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: of rookies happened and for some guys it didn't matter. 39 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson was great last year. He's you know, he 40 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: was Justin Herbert was great, and there were guys that 41 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: didn't matter. But for many, there's every reason to think 42 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: they'll make a big jump in year two with the 43 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: benefit of a season under their belt and a full 44 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: off season program. And now some of these guys will 45 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: talk about didn't necessarily struggle, But when you just look 46 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: at their full season, you know, the landscape of their 47 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: production from last season, it doesn't tell the whole story 48 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: of how big a jump they could make this year. 49 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: I like it. Um Almost every highly drafted second year 50 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: player has got room for improvement. Most players do get 51 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: better in the second year. The one I'll say, the 52 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: one thing they had going for them last year. He 53 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: had all all the detractors, We still had the fans 54 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: in the stands to tell them how much they were 55 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: stud they were, they were getting food by their own 56 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: home fans. Depends how south of them Dixon line you were. 57 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, um, so most of them. I don't think 58 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: there's any need to say for any of these guys, Brian, 59 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 1: you know there's room for him to get better in 60 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: your two. There's room for all these guys get better 61 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: in your two. But we're gonna give Billed a case 62 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: for about like fifteen guys here that we think all 63 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: have the have the potential to take a big step 64 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: up in year two. Okay, I'll go first with a 65 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: rookie that I think has got a lot of room 66 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: for improvement and can can get better in year two. 67 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: That is Gabriel Davis, Buffalo wide receiver. His current ADP 68 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: is around twelve wide receiver sixty, so you know you're 69 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna get him at a at a real value, 70 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: and I like to he took a big jump over 71 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: Buffalo's by week in Week eleven coming out of the 72 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: by his snaps per game jumped by twenty one and 73 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: that helped with injuries to John Brown who's gone and 74 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: gold Beasley who's somewhat healthy. Yeah, but basically slot guy, 75 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: and I don't think that will affect him a lout here. 76 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: After the bye week, his targets for Gabriel Davis jumped 77 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: from three per game to five per game. His yards 78 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: doubled from twenty eight per game to fifty four per game. 79 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: His touchdowns per game doubled from point three to point seven. 80 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: Point seven touchdowns per game is a ton touchdown year. 81 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: That's a double digit touchdown season that Gabriel Davis was posting. 82 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: From week week twelve forward, he was the starter in 83 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: every Buffalo game after the bye, and his average line 84 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: for Gabriel Davis again after the bye three catches, fifty 85 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: four yards and at the point seven touchdowns. I mentioned 86 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: that was good enough for He was wide receiver thirty 87 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: after the bye as a rookie. The attack Buffalo Bill 88 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills, a team that passes all the time. Um, 89 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: there are really no blockers to starting time. I mean 90 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: there's Steffandiggs is gonna be a starter and it's gonna 91 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: be h Emmanuel Sanders at all. Sanders will be uh, 92 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, Sanders will be in the in the mix. 93 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: But no way, no way. They've given him that an 94 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: aging journey and veterans Davis decomposing corpse territory. I think 95 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a guy when you need eleven yards 96 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: and you need somebody just catch the ball that you 97 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: throw to him, that's gonna be. That is gonna be 98 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, Gabriel Davis. So he's my first guy. Who 99 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: is your your second year sophomore that you think can 100 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: do can do better next year? Well, I got no quarterbacks. 101 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: It might have been Jordan's love, but Aaron Rodgers still 102 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: in town. So a nothing to mention at the quarterback position. 103 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: And sadly, I'm not gonna mention Jalen Reagor and the 104 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: Eagles might want me to, but I don't see a 105 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: jump from Reager. It could be a decline, as sad 106 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: as that may be. So the first guy I want 107 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: to talk about is Brandon You of the forty Niners, 108 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: who is already getting drafted as a top twenty five 109 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: wide receiver. He's going right in the Kenny Golladay Cooper Cup, 110 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase, who was a rookie range but which is justified. 111 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: But if he can replicate his epic six games stretch 112 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: he had last year starting in like Week six or seven, 113 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 1: where he totaled or sorry, averaged eleven tar gets, seven 114 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: and a half catches, nine four yards per game, four 115 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: touchdowns during that span with Jimmy Garoppolo and alrighty the 116 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: cast of Castle character C J. Beth. Yes, so people 117 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: are expecting the leap he's getting drafted as a wide receiver. 118 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: Who but have that there's competition, of course, Deebo Samuels, 119 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: their George Kittle and Jimmy Garoppolo rookie Tray Lance at quarterback. 120 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: But still he's gonna make that leap. But he could 121 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: go beyond bottom tier wide receiver two to top tier 122 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: wide receiver two, lower tiered wide receiver one territory pretty easily. 123 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: I think he has got that. If you watch them play, 124 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: he's a freak of nature, like Across and very different 125 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: from Deebo Samuel. Deebo Samuel is yard after catch guy 126 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: you throw to. You throw a bubble screen to him. 127 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: He's so strong he'll break the tackle and get you 128 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: some yards. I Yuk is your big play, splashy down 129 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: field receiver, and Trey Lance has a cannon. I love 130 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: the potential of that connection for years to come. I 131 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: hope we see Trey Lance sooner than later. That's all. 132 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: I hope we see him when the time is right. 133 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: And that's an offensive that's an offensive system that I 134 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: think they'll get that right. The next sophomore I want 135 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: to talk about is Buffalo running back Zach Moss. Current 136 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: ADP is round nine running back forty two, and you 137 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: get the lead back for an NFL team. Last year 138 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: he was a bust and that hurt me. Grievously because 139 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: I had championed his cause and I was mostly wrong. 140 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: Nearly as big a bobo as you are. For Zack Moss, Um, 141 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: the reasons he was a bus last year were opportunity 142 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: and losing rushing touchdowns to his quarterback. The team barely 143 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: ran it all last year, and Zack Moss only averaged 144 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: eight rushes per game through of the time. At minimum, 145 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: it wasn't quite that, but they were. They were. Ye 146 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: hold on, you know go, I might have it in 147 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: my notes here. Um. He never had more than four 148 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: a team touches in any game, Zach Moss, so opportunity 149 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: really hurt him. Buffalo didn't draft a running back, which 150 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: suggests that they are confident in his improvement. And remember 151 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: he said every meaningful Utah rushing records. Zack Moss did 152 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: built to score touchdowns at two thirty pounds, but Josh 153 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: Allen ran the ball eleven times from inside the five eleven. 154 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: Only Cam Newton among quarterbacks had more rushing attempts inside 155 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: the five than Josh Allen did. But eventually almost all 156 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: quarterbacks stop running the ball. It's part of the progression 157 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: of keeping your your quarterback up right and maybe that 158 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: will happen this year with Allen and maybe they'll start 159 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: dialing back some of that running. And then there's Devin 160 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: Singletary who just isn't a very good runner, and they 161 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: could face him out of the running game in particular, 162 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: almost entirely. So if you believe Mosque gets better, you 163 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: think that Josh Allen is not gonna run the ball 164 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: eleven times inside the five, if you think Devin Singletary 165 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: is not that good, there's your window for Zack Moss 166 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: to improve on his current ADP. Right, And I'm right 167 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: there with you, And I was a little high. It's 168 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: about I'm gonna guess it's about sixty eight percent for 169 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: it was sixty two on the season, but the last 170 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: five games it was, which is incredibly high for any team, 171 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: especially Buffalo over the past ten years. Right, correct, Okay, Brian, 172 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: or who is your next sophomore? I'm going with the 173 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: wide receiver of the Los Angeles Rams Van Jefferson, who 174 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: they sunk a lot of draft capital into the seventh 175 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: overall pick overall past and the jettison Josh Reynolds, which 176 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: is fairly significant here, and they signed to Shan Jackson, 177 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: which um I'm assuming he's in a walking boot already, 178 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna call Jefferson the wide receiver three right 179 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: now basically, and and an injury to the big two 180 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: Robert Woods or Cooper Cup opens up a huge door 181 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: of opportunity for Jefferson on an offense that is upgraded 182 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: significantly with Matthew Stafford now the quarterback over Jared goff 183 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: Now Jefferson who has good sized by the way six 184 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: to two d plus pounds. So at least five targets 185 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: in a four games last year. One was in the 186 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: Divisional round against Green Bay, but he had at least 187 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: four catches in each game, and he caught six, including 188 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: a touchdown in that playoff game against the Packers. So 189 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: he's proven to be an able receiver if given the volume. 190 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: So and again, he was a rookie last year. Not 191 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: all wide receiver rookies pop off. He's got the pedigree 192 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: and right now and best best ball redraft, he's going 193 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: wide receiver eight three with Marquez Valdez Scantling and Tyrell 194 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: Williams and Marie Rogers and that's the Packers cast offs. 195 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,479 Speaker 1: I love the upside for Van Jefferson at the bignet 196 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: him at I'm with you on that Stafford is going 197 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: to I think the Rams are a sneaky super Bowl 198 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: team and a Stafford's gonna make that offense much better. 199 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: And Jefferson is a guy you might find in your 200 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: dynasty rookie drafts who just got cast off after last year. 201 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna drop their teams are gonna drop him off 202 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: and how deep. But definitely the next sophomore I want 203 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: to talk about is Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims. His 204 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: current ADP is the fourteenth round wide receiver seventy nine, 205 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: so he's in that same Van Jefferson range. Brian, You'll 206 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: remember that Mims had a triple whammy last year. Like 207 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: all rookies, he missed the whole preseason, then he suffered 208 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: a hamstring injury that costs him the first six weeks 209 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: of the season, and then of course the third whammy 210 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: Adam Gaze. When Mims did play, he started, but he 211 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: wasn't terribly effective. He did not score a touchdown last year. Remember, 212 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: he was the first pick of the second round of 213 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: the deepest wide receiver draft in a generation, and he 214 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: would have been the first wide receiver taken in some 215 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: years drafts in all probability, tall and range, you with 216 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: a massive catch radius, very fast. He'll be catching passes 217 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: from Zach Wilson, who appears to be pretty NFL ready, 218 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: and Wilson throws a great deep ball, and that was 219 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: much of Mims's success at Baylor. Um. It's a crowded 220 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: wide receiver field right now, Corey Davis and Keelan Cole 221 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: and Jamison Crowder um. But Mims has got a pedigree 222 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: that none of those guys really have, and so he's 223 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: got He's got a ton of room to improve here. 224 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: I I don't love Denzel Mims, and I think he'll 225 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: I think this conversation might be better in one but 226 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: this uh he almost by default we'll get better this year. 227 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: He has the potential to I think be the best 228 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver in this draft class in a few years. 229 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: He's not would I know, there's justin Jefferys, I know, 230 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 1: I know right he's ceedee Lamb. He was not in 231 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: good spot last year and it's not still spot. But 232 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: I think if Zach Wilson is his requisite of the 233 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: number two pick overall, then Denzel Mims can grow with him. 234 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,599 Speaker 1: Let me say one of the best. All right, that 235 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: might be a small potential and more sane. Right, let's 236 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, we've got more 237 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: sophomores we thinking have a significant growth spurt this year. 238 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. We're talking about sophomores that 239 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: we think are in a position to have a far 240 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: better season next year. I think if you're redraft or dynasty, 241 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: this is a very salient conversation. I thought of the 242 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: title of the show just now during the break, Sophomore 243 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: slump Busters. I kind of like it. Sophomore. Let me 244 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: write that down slump busters. Okay, so done, that'll be 245 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: the title of the show. I did it. All right, 246 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: we've done it. Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Channel. It's Chanel. 247 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: I found out we've been calling him Channel. I'm yeah, 248 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: you're yeah, You're this moment old, I'm learning at Laska 249 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: che Uh. Current ADP is the ninth round wide receiver forty. 250 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: He gets a massive quarterback improvement going from the combination 251 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: of Mike Lennon, Gardner Minshew and Jake Luton remember him 252 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: to Trevor Lawrence, the first player taken in the draft. 253 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: He's luten free Now, I love it. Uh, you may 254 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: have forgotten. Laviska Chanel scored four times in the final 255 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: five weeks of last year. From week twelve forward. Lavishka 256 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: Chano was wide receiver twenty two. Last year he was 257 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: a stopper. Oh that's pretty good too, that's excellent. It's 258 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: heating up in Minnesota, Keen Keelan Cole, as I mentioned earlier, 259 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: now with the Jets stole a lot of his work 260 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: from the slot last year. Calls gone gone, he leaves 261 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: behind five hundred thirty four snaps. Keiling Cole does so. No, 262 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna be on the field constantly. Remember he was 263 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: a second round pick last year. He's a jack of 264 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: all trades type. They run him a bit. There's a 265 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: lot to like about Laviska sho number two. He's very 266 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: much a Curtis Samuel in the making for sure. I 267 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: think you're right, all right, who's your next sophomore slump buster? Now, 268 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, this guy was gonna bust 269 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: all the slumps because he was gonna be the starting 270 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: running back for the Packers. And that's j Dillon. Because 271 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: we all assumed Green Bay was going to let Aaron 272 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: Jones walk after failing to let him run year after 273 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: a year, but they resigned Jones, so a little bit 274 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: of a pullback on a J. Dillon. I'm one of 275 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: those dynasty owners that was counting on that. But regardless, 276 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: he's he's an absolute monster and it's not a one 277 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: trick pony and this is gonna run you over. He 278 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: does have some wiggle, he can catch the ball. He's 279 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: got a lot of potential, and he figures the factor 280 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: at the goal line this year at the very least 281 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: you'd hope so, and his size demands it. He didn't 282 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: have a ton of opportunities last year, but if you 283 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: really look into his two carries inside, he had nine yards, 284 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: so he basically took every yard that was given to 285 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: him and opportunities no one, and he scored on one 286 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: of them. All right, four carries for sixteen yards inside 287 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: the tent. So he's a force inside, in the in 288 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: the in the gold zone, the infrared zone, whatever we 289 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: call it. But Aaron Jones clearly a blocker. I still 290 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: think Dylan takes a significant leap from last year. They're 291 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: still gonna want to spell Jones at times, especially now 292 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: that they paid him, right, and and they will they 293 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: always do. Jones is never a workhorse. And you know 294 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: with Jamal Williams gone, all that extra works gonna go 295 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: to Dylan. Yeah, I'm with you. And right now Dylan's 296 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: lumped in. He's like RB thirty three ish right with 297 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette, Ronald Jones, Raheem Moster, David Johnson, Kenyan Drake. 298 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: Give me Dylan over those guys all day long. It's 299 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: based on like, of course, one injury to Aaron Jones 300 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: and yeah, that's it. It's to the moon for Dylan. 301 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: So expect we're not gonna get the production we were 302 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: hoping for right most like starters production, but he will 303 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: see a significant increase in touches, one would hope. I 304 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: think he's a j. Dylon shaping up as a flex 305 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: level running back this year. The player who has turned 306 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: the most heads in Broncos O t a s. Jerry Judy. 307 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: It's not you, it's it's Jerry Jude Beauty. I like it. 308 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: Current ADP is the eighth round, He's wide receiver, thirty seven, 309 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: his solid rookie season. I think it's been overlooked by many. Brian, 310 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: you had fifty two catches eight hundred fifty yards and 311 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Despite really inconsistent quarterbacking in Denver, he was 312 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 1: held back by drops. He had twelve drops last year 313 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: I saw. I don't have the exact stat but a 314 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: lot of his drops or in completions were accounted to 315 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: the court to Drew Lock. Essentially they weren't really his. Yeah, 316 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: I would I would not be surprised by um. I 317 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: think there's a sixty chance Teddy Bridgewaters the starter. You know, 318 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: Teddy has many deficiencies which long time listeners know how 319 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: I feel about it. But he does catch a very 320 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: he throws a very catchable short pass and so there's 321 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: there's that for Judy. Hopefully it'll be it'll be more 322 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,239 Speaker 1: accurate here. Um. He'll also be helped I think by 323 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: the return of Courtland Sutton, which will mean he will 324 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: not need to carry so much of the burden of 325 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: the receiver's group and he will not he will not 326 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: receive as much coverage because Courtland Sutton is on the field. Also, 327 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: there's a chance Aaron Rodgers is throwing balls to Jerry 328 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: Judy that is that is possible here um. Remember he 329 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: was a first round pick. He has got fantastick folk 330 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: work a great yard after catch at Alabama. So yeah, 331 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy is my next sophomore slump buster. Who is 332 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: your next sophomore slumpbuster. We're going to the tight end position. 333 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: It's a cold commit of the Chicago Bears, who was 334 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: the overall pick last year in the second und got 335 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: a draft capital there, and uh, the Bears were one 336 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: of seven teams last year they got double digit touchdowns 337 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: from their tight ends. Yes, Jimmy Graham accounted for seven 338 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: or eight of those, but and he's still on roster. 339 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: But talk about decomposing corpses, Graham is decomposing more by 340 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: the day. He's gonna be goal line package guy. Most 341 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: likely not gonna factor between the twenties, which isn't great 342 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: for commit. Graham could get cut very Yeah, he's definitely 343 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: gone and age and everything else. Yeah, they drafted him 344 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: to be tight into the future for sure, drafting him 345 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: in the second round last year. And Chicago also top 346 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: twelve in UH tight end catches last year. So there's 347 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: a nice role for commit waiting this year. And there's 348 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: an upgraded quarterback either way, whether it's justin Fields or 349 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: any Dalton over Mitch Drubisky or Nick Foles. So Chicago 350 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: utilizes their tight end, and UH, if I'm investedly heavied 351 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: to the invested. If I'm invested heavily at tight end, 352 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: like drafting Travis Kelsey or Dale and Darren Waller, Uh 353 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: commits a guy I'm looking at, uh tight end eighteen 354 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: right now, he's going right after your boy John U, 355 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: John U. But he's right there with Gronk and Austin Hooper. 356 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: H cam me commits upside here. I like what we're 357 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: gonna see out of him in his the year two. 358 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: My next sophomore slump buster is Raiders wide receiver Henry 359 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: Ruggs ADP is Round ten wide receiver fifty one. Remember 360 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: he was the first wide receiver taken in the draft 361 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: two years ago. Uh, and a disastrous season unfolded for him. 362 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: Despite starting twelve games, he never more than three passes 363 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: in a game and he only scored two times. Do 364 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: you remember either was two touchdowns? Off the top of 365 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: your head, the one was total bs to beat the Jets, 366 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: That's exactly that's right. It was the five seconds left 367 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: on the clock falls on the forty six yard line. 368 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: They have to go forty six yards to pass with 369 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: a touchdown to score, and Greg Williams dials up a 370 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: blitz dumbest call history of football maybe, and it ended 371 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: up ended up being a disaster for the Jets. At 372 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: the time, it was one of the Henry Ruggs touchdowns. 373 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: At the time, it was one of the smartest thing, 374 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: right because they were probably still trying to lose unfeeded 375 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: at the time, right, not not undefeated, but yeah, then 376 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: who did they beat? That doesn't matter? But yet, so 377 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: Ruggs walks in this year and they they basically they 378 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: let most half of the receivers go. Tyroll Williams has gone, 379 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: Nelson Agilar is gone. So he's wide receiver one on 380 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: this team. Listen to the other receivers on the Raiders, 381 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: Z Jones, Brian Words who was somehow even worse than 382 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: Ruggs last year, Hunter Renfro who plays the slot, and 383 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: John Brown adds it, I mean Rugs in with his pedigree. 384 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: He is wide receiver one on a team led by 385 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, who was shockingly productive last year. He threw 386 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: twenty seven touchdowns and four thousand, one hundred yards. Twenty 387 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: seven touchdowns are they're not all going to Darren Waller 388 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: next year. So with that, if if you think Derek 389 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: car is gonna be around that twenty seven touchdown range 390 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: and you think Waller is gonna account for twelve of them, right, 391 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: we still fifteen on accounted touchdowns. That gotta go somewhere. 392 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: How about his number one wide receiver, Henry Ruggs, It 393 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: better go to Ruggs again, drafted over Jerry Judy Steedee Lamb, 394 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. I know we we hated that, we hated 395 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: that draft pick them when it happened live. We did 396 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: not like that draft pick. Um. It was a mistake 397 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: for sure, But Ruggs has got massive room for improvement 398 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: and and we'll have the opportunity which is which is 399 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: half of it. Okay, your next guy another tight end, 400 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: and you know most rookie tight ends don't produce, so 401 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: we look at them in a year two. Hopefully Kyle 402 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: Pitts breaks that mold. We won't go there right now. 403 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: And it's Adam Troutman of the Saints, who was a 404 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: high high draft pick by New Orleans last year, the 405 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: undred and fifth overall pick. That's a third round pick. 406 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: And uh, Jared Cook, he gone. Troutman. Troutlan is the guy, 407 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: and right now he's lumped right with committing a DP 408 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: at tight end twenty, going right after Hooper and uh 409 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: Gronk and like I said, commet right in that range. 410 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: And only six team targets last year, not a ton 411 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: of tape on Troutman. Only one went incomplete though, and 412 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna assume it was Taysom Hill's fault on that one, 413 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: so that I don't know he's the starting tight ends 414 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: for the Saints, who had historically utilized their tight ends 415 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: in that offense. There's question marks at quarterback, but I 416 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: don't know there there's a tight end twelve, tight end 417 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: fifteen upside with Troutman if he sees the eight hundred 418 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: targets requisite requisitive getting you there. So I got my 419 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: on Adam Troutman in late rounds too. If you're again 420 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: either gonna just back up an elite tight end or 421 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: if you're just gonna dumpster dive, and you know, hoard 422 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: three of these guys in the late teens and early twenties. 423 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: Troutman is a guy to keep your eye on. But 424 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: I gotta finish this by saying, keep your eye on 425 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: Dan Arnold more than who's going way later than both 426 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: of these guys. Still, I don't get it. But someday 427 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: the world will catch him, all right, done his own 428 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: teams don't seem to don't seem to share that thought. 429 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: As he's a high third team in three years, I 430 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: will have my day, all right. I've got two guys 431 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: that I think are very obvious, So I've left him 432 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: to the end here. Uh And I don't think you 433 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: have any left. I think you're done right, Yes, okay, 434 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: Chief's running back Clyde Edwards Alaire. I think most people 435 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: think like I do. By the way, a DP is 436 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: the third round running back seventeen, It's almost impossible for 437 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: a Chief's running back to be as a mimic of 438 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: a fantasy producer as Clyde Edwards a Laire was last year. 439 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: He only scored four games and during the regular season 440 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: he only topped one hundred total yards twice, and that 441 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: was Week one and Week three, when we still thought 442 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: he was going to be a top ten running back. 443 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: Weirdly underutilized in the passing game despite being a very 444 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: good pass catching running back. He caught zero, one or 445 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: two passes in half of his games that was disappointing, 446 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: and then he battled injury and end up missing a 447 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: month of time at the end of the year as 448 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: people remembered into the playoffs. So here's Kansas City. They 449 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: were number one and offensive touchdowns two years ago, they 450 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: were number eight last year. They're averaging three point two 451 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: offensive touchdowns per game, last year three point two. And 452 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: as great as Patrick Mahomes is. If if your offense 453 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: is averaging three point two touchdowns per game, shouldn't one 454 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: of those three go to your lead running back? In 455 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: a typical offense, one would think I would think I 456 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: was an English major not great with math, but I 457 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: think that math has doesn't it feel about right? I mean, 458 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: I know Mahomes is, you know, like three passing touchdowns 459 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: a game, but even then some of those should go 460 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: to should go to the running back too. So I 461 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: think his diminutive side, probably dominut diminutive size, caps his 462 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: upside for Clyde Edwards a layer, but it's still feels 463 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: like he's got room to approve on his ADP of 464 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: RB seventeen. And the last Gale mention is another one 465 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: that's obvious that I think most people already think it's 466 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: going to be much better than year two. And that's 467 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: Baltimore running back j K. Dobbins, because he was so 468 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: good at the end of last year. Current ADPs round 469 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: three running back fifteen UM. Dobbin's owner is frustrated with 470 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: that split time between Ingram and Gus Edwards. But Ingram's 471 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: gone and they didn't replace him with anybody who's gonna 472 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: steal carries. It's gonna be Gus Edwards and j K Dobbins. 473 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards, by the way, going really far too low 474 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: to UM. Last year's three headed monsters down to a 475 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: two headed monster. That's you know, we can manage that 476 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: a little bit. Dobbins surged down the stretch of his 477 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: rookie years, scoring in seven straight games, including the playoffs, 478 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: to finish things up, and that's why he's being pressed 479 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: up to the third round right now. When UM, when 480 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 1: he was given at least thirteen carries last year, his 481 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: average game ninety three rushing yards, one touchdown per game, 482 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: and six point six yards per carry. Again, those are 483 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: in games in which he at least thirteen carries. When 484 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: you give j K. Dobbins just the thirteen carries, which 485 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: isn't even close to like the twenty elite back would get. 486 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: He still produces gigantic numbers, so you know the Ravens 487 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 1: are always gonna be run heavy. Um and Lamar Jackson 488 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: opens up a lot of things for his running backs, 489 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: So J K. Dobbins and I know a lot of 490 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: people already on Hilaire and Dobbinson. They barely warrant to 491 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: mention here, but I still wanted to get them in. Yeah, 492 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: and guys that people are on and names you probably 493 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: didn't hear or you didn't hear this podcast, like Jalen Hurts, 494 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: Seedee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, Antonio Gibson, everybody get better, could 495 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: get better already could their household names already, so we 496 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,239 Speaker 1: didn't touch on them. Totally agree. And Tyler Johnson. I 497 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: was hoping to mention Tyler Johnson wide receiver for the Bucks, 498 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: but they just resigned Antonio Brown recently, so it makes 499 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: it top might have to wait another year for Tyler Johnson. UM. 500 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: I thought about Damien Harris, but that were more Uh, 501 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: Stevenson is a real blocker for him. I thought about 502 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: Donovan people showns the Cleveland wide receiver and mentioning him 503 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: because he did. He did show some signs of life 504 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. But it's I don't 505 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: know that he's I don't think he does. Just doesn't 506 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: gonna get starters reps. I don't think I got one 507 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: more three named wide receiver Antonio Gandy Golden. It's that's deep. 508 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: He's He's got bumped down that depth chart pretty well. 509 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: He did in the one season. We'll see that. Bryan 510 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick's gonna help that whole offense. I'm excited, and I 511 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: don't like rooting for the Washington team, but that offense 512 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: is gonna be exciting. You just don't. I mean, it's 513 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: one thing to say you don't want the good things 514 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: to happen to their owner. You know that fan base 515 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: has been through the Ringer Man. They deserve they deserve 516 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: good things. You know, they've had to live with Dan 517 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: Snyder for twenty years as their owner. They deserved good 518 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: things to happen. I used to live out there and 519 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: I interact with a lot of that fan base, so 520 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: I beg to differ.
