He's 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.280 on the road right now making some training camp visits, 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.920 gathering some intel for all you loyal listeners. And this 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.959 is our last off season show. The off season, well, yes, 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:52.680 it's not the off season in the NFL. Now, you 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.680 don't call the off season the off season when training 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.000 camp is going. Yeah, there's really no off scene in 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.040 that in the NFL anyway. So but starting next week, 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.880 the long form shows are back. I love it. I'm excited. 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.560 This will be the This is the last kitchen recording, 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.480 the last kitchen will be in the studio for the 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.240 big show starting next week. It's like the lost files 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.640 or something like Paul Charchi in the Kitchen recordings. Yeah, 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.160 I've been I feel like I've been here for like 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:25.240 a week. I just got here that they lowered the drawbridge. 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.840 I drove across the moats. You don't see a lot 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.360 of moats these days in the United States. I just 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.720 got finished feeding the gators, so they weren't too riled up. 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.319 I hope gators. What are we What are we talking 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.320 about today, Scott? Uh, We're just gonna go over some 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:44.760 of the early training camp headlines that have that have hit. Um. 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:49.240 Everyone's in the best shape of their life. Everyone literally everybody. Uh. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.440 Allen Lazard is a is a Hall of Famer, Derek 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.040 Carr is a Hall of Favor future Hall of Famers. 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.160 Nothing but good news. Uh, nothing but good news, except 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.120 we should start in Tampa Bay. Kind of start in 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.120 Tampa Bay. Bad news. Not not a not an offense 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.760 well he's an offensive player, but not a fantasy player. 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.959 But All Pro center Ryan Jensen looks like he's probably 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.400 done for the year. Huh. Yeah, that's that's not good 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.920 for for that line. They've they've been building up a 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.959 lot of a lot of stuff. They're going and grabbing weapons. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.560 You know, it is it is a hit, but you know, 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.680 hopefully they can It's early enough that maybe the offensive 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.480 line can gel by the season. Yeah, and I mean 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.959 it's Jensen likely done. And from last year, they're they're 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:37.800 gonna be missing Ali Marpette who retired and uh, forgive me, 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.640 I'm forgetting his name off top of my head. But 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.799 another starting lineman is now with um the Bengals. So 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.520 it looks like going into the season, the the Bucks 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.480 are gonna be down three linemen from last year. So 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.799 that's that's concerns me a little bit for Leonard four 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.720 Nett and uh, of course Tom Brady and his pass catchers. 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:01.320 And speaking of tom Brady's pass catchers, think about the 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:05.919 the Julio signing, hate the number uh signing. Is he 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.600 gonna play tight end? You think? You know he he 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.760 actually was fairly okay when he played and when it 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.600 was fully healthy. Over the last two years, he's just 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.519 missed a lot of games and that's his biggest bugaboo recently. 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.920 In fact, he's had those lower leg injuries his whole career. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.920 You know, so um that that's that's the concern with 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.960 Julio is the is the injuries. They the Temp Bay 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:32.720 Buccaneers also uh said they did not put they cleared. Basically, 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.560 they cleared Chris Godwin, So he's not going to be 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.720 on pup. He's gonna actually sounds like he's well ahead 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.920 of schedule. Um and I'm still not convinced he's gonna 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.240 be ready week one, though, we will see. I think 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.800 one thing bringing in Julio does is they can take 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.840 their time with him a little bit. Maybe he doesn't 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.200 start on the PUP, but maybe he's back in a 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.200 few weeks. In My main takeaway from the whole Julio 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.560 signing and then this Godwin news was just how quickly 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.480 everyone has dismissed Russell Gage a couple of weeks ago. 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.560 I'm not either. I mean, outside of Mike Evans, I 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:10.240 still based on ADP, Julio's ADP is spiked. Gauges has 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:14.400 fallen Godwin's. Godwin was always getting drafted before Gauge even 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.400 before this news. But uh yeah, based on ADP right now, 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:21.280 I mean I like Russell Gage more than Julio Seeson 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:26.120 long I'm not convinced. I mean, Gauge has eight touchdowns 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.840 over the last two seasons. Yea who he has for 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.120 Gauges twice as many touchdowns, he's like twice as young. 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.720 Here's here's not thing. Here's the really the real thing 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.000 with Gauge is cost. Like I think he's gonna be 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.440 He's gonna have good games this year. He's probably better 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.680 and best ball as Hill have his spike weeks. Yeah, 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.240 but I think the big thing with Gauges his price 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.320 was starting to get to the point where you're you 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.159 started to get a little more on the fence. But 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.080 now as prices dropping again, and that's what that's when 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.719 you want to buy on him. And lastly on the Bucks, 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.839 we briefly mentioned him and talking about Jensen and Leonard Bournett. 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.440 Yeah not fat. Yeah, he looked pretty good. Yeah, rumors 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.280 of him being to sixty a few weeks ago reported 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:10.080 into camp at two forty four, which for the size 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.440 guy he is, like he's he's just a big dude. 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.640 I think he just like went to Taco Bell for 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.680 one last blowout that the day before. He got weight 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.440 in that day. But he's shed all that water weight, 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.719 so not too concerned. We'll see that the b M 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.920 I of Wondard four Nette, Yeah, they we'll see there. 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.800 There always seems to be a little bit of sharing 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.320 down there. But Ronald Jones gone, Rashod White in GEO. 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.400 Bernard should be healthy this year. They they've they've got 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.160 they've got depth behind Fournette, but he should be mostly 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:42.119 the carrier there, next next guy we want to talk about. 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.120 Let's stay in the division and talk some a couple 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.240 of Saints talking points. I think Micky Thomas is the 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.840 key one here, uh present from day one of camp 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.840 running routes. They're not no one's in pads, but he's 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.560 in uniform. Uh. He looks like he'll be ready week one, 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.240 and mitt no one was convinced he was gonna be 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.440 ready week one all summer long on winter. He was 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:07.040 getting drafted outside of the top thirty wide receivers are 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.400 right in that range. But if he is fully healthy 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.200 going in to the season, where do you have him think? 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:13.720 I mean, I think you got to treat him as 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.200 a top fifteen option. You could. I I don't know 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:18.839 that I have him that high, and I don't know 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.640 how much I believe it just yet. I mean, he's 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.799 a he's about three years away from good fantasy production 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.080 at this point. A little over to. It's been a while, 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.960 but back then we were arguing him as the number 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.599 one overall pick in fantasy football, and I wasn't. I 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.680 wasn't too convinced by some of the earlier videos. This offseason, 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.680 we will see I do kind of like Chris Olave's 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:42.160 skill set with Jamis Winston. Personally, I'm not gonna rank 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.039 him over Michael Thomas probably, but I'm I'm probably still 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.440 avoiding Michael Thomas to pay if he's going that high. Yeah, 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.720 Winston is a guy if you're gonna wait on quarterback 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.440 in your draft, who was very intriguing to me. Now 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.919 with Thomas healthy, you just mentioned a lot that they 0:06:55.960 --> 0:07:01.800 stud rookie. They signed Jarvis Landry, Alvin Kamara, who from 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.400 what I'm hearing, I don't think he's getting suspended this year. 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.920 That's That's what I'm thinking too, because the league is 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.440 not going to do anything until the matter is settled 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:14.680 outside outside the lines, right, it does, and it doesn't 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:19.680 seem like any kind of you know, conviction or settled 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.760 whatever is going to happen until after the football season. 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:27.760 So Jamis Winston, I mean, he's got some weapons, he's healthy. 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.720 It's a good late shot. He can throw a lot 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.680 of picks. Of course, does feel like one of these 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.280 years that in one quarterback leagues you almost don't even 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.520 need to draft one and you can pick one up 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.400 after they're happen. Super flex leagues there they're it's deep. 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.280 It feels like a lot of great late options like Winston, 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.280 I like Davis Mills and Jared Goff is kind of intriguing. 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.960 Maybe Daniel Jones will talk a little more giants in 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.000 a minute. Sure, how about we do that now we 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.240 talked to enough Michael Thomas. Let's talk about say Kwon 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:58.680 Barkley looking incredible, making some incredible catchet like their highlight reel. Right, 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.960 but like if they quam Barkley is last year. Honestly, 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.440 that ankle injury was kind of a fluke deal, you know. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.840 Oh yeah, he just steps he stepped on his teammates, yeah, 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.160 and twist his ankle of the side and got the 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.200 big bulge that we all saw the pictures of. Uh 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:20.760 if he's a percent back, huge pass catcher in that offense. Um, yeah, 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:25.480 Barkley's a guy I've talked about a few times over 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.679 the last month or two as a great bounce back candidate. 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.280 Last year, it was his first year back from the 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.120 torn a c L or m c L, and running 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.840 backs generally take a couple of years to come back 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.599 from that, two years come back from that. So this 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.960 will be his second year and last year that the 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:45.559 Giants arguably the worst offensive line in the NFL. They 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.880 made a significant investment in the old line in the draft. 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:53.239 So Barkley, I've been doing Best Ball draft since February. 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:57.120 Scott and I remember he was going, uh, mid to 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:01.080 late third in the winter, and how he's he's climbed 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:05.000 up to early second, and I think he's once preseason 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.319 games start. He's not gonna play a tone in the preseason. 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.720 But he reels off of seventy eight just one highlight 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.120 play in the in the game, He's going to be 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:20.040 back in that. Yeah, wait, first mid first round, Conville. Like, 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.160 right now, I'm starting like Barkley more than Nag Harris. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:24.920 Who's going before? Do you do rankings? Where do you 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:26.640 where do you have? I have him at RB eight 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.560 or not RB nine, I think right now, which is 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.199 higher than he's going. I think he's going about RB 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:35.520 twelve or so. I do them in my head. I 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.600 don't publish any I should, I wish I did. I 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.360 need to do that, but uh yeah, I feel like 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.240 he's going too late and I'm going off course a 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.319 little bit here in Dalvin Cook going too late. But 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.480 but if so, if I'm in the late for have 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.160 a late pick in the first round, and I'm going 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.640 running back, running back Cook Barkley all day, I've been 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.360 doing that a ton. I love this RB ten. We 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.480 basically have our nines and tense flipped. So, um, he 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.240 has him at and I have him at nine. Certainly 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.360 ORB one upside if you say absolute RB one upside, 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:07.559 and you're getting him in the third in a lot 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:13.840 of cases sometimes the fourth event, which is that's pretty late, honestly. Um, 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.000 let's let's go on to do we want to talk 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.360 about the camp battle between Baker Mayfield and Sam Donald, 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.199 which is looking kind of gross on both ends. Yeah, 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.880 that's not too fantasy relevant. Really, how do you know 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:31.200 that Baker and d J. Moore have been showing some 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.400 chemistry early on in camp? But I mean it's really 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:40.440 about who benefits mostly when it comes to McCaffrey d J. Moore. 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.160 Let's let's skip it. It's it's not super super fantasy relevant. 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.320 Let's go over to the Chiefs. The Chiefs lost Tyreek Hill, 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.400 who's going to replace him? Juju is making great plays, 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:54.000 sky Moore is the TACA camp. These guys fantasy was 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.320 super fantasy relevant. They've been making h and again, everyone's 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.160 been making great plays in camp so far. Everyone, I'm 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.199 super excited to see any kind of football football action. 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:08.239 But you know everyone, I was really concerned, Uh, not concerned. 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.160 But let's put it this way. Before Tyreek was traded 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:15.880 to the Dolphins, it was josh Allen Patrick Mahomes In 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.599 every draft I did, whether it was super flex or 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.560 one quarterback, they were going in that order. They would 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.960 go earlier and super flex drafts. Of course he'll gets 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:29.000 traded all of a sudden, I'm seeing Herbert going before Mahomes, 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.839 h Lamar Jackson. A lot of times, Mahomes is kind 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.440 of like he's still a top five quarterback based on 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.640 ADP and it was all because he lost Tyreek. But 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.000 now I'm looking at sky Moore and Jujus looking good. 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.240 I like MVS. Now I'm starting to think like it's 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.079 it just won't be centered around one person. It will 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.920 be spread out more. And of course Kelsey is still around, 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.320 So I think people got overreacted a little bit to 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.840 the loss of tyreek Hill. I think the Chiefs are 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.559 gonna be just fine. And uh, Mahomes is still the 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.680 best her back in the NFL. Yeah, talent wise, talent, Yeah, 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.800 there's yeah, there's there's that top four or five that 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.360 just like you can, you can flip around however you want, 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:09.920 and I'm going to be fine with it. Even in 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.880 Scott Fish Bowl, I have seen Mahomes was sliding to 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.480 the QB four QB five range. So if if he 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.520 falls to you in your drafts that far, I think 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.040 it's a gift at this point because I'm not Tyreek 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:23.800 Hale will be missed, but not not as much as 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.040 I thought initially. Know what do you think about the 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:33.640 reports of sky More potentially taking some They're saying, uh 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:37.160 that everybody wants to be the next whatever works last year. Yeah, 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.440 they've been showing that those packages in practice so far. 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.160 And Andy Reid said something along the lines of him 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.440 having like running back legs or something like that taking 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.720 plays in the backfield, Tony taking place from the backfield 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.640 debot and uh sky More and Curtis Sam But there 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.240 seems to be a lot of them this year that 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.680 they're like, this guy is going to do this because 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.680 creative guy, right, And we saw Tyreek Hill take some 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.480 carries out of the backfield, so I'm sure we'll see 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:08.719 some of that from sky more. But uh yeah, everyone's Scott. 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.320 It's gonna be tough to get over a wide receiver 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.040 wearing the number twenty four, But since it's my favorite number, 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.800 kind of groovy jr. Uh, I'll allow it, and I'll 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.720 probably overdraft him someplace. I I want at least a 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.520 couple just in case, because there's a chance he leads 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.200 leads down the rookie wide receivers in receiving yards this year. 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.960 Let's talk George Pickens. Let's stick with rookie wide receivers. Uh, 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.520 George Pickens Uh with the Steelers, of course, nothing but 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.160 good things coming out of Steelers camp. For those unfamiliar 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:43.480 with George Pickens, uh tour his knee up last spring, 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.320 he would have been the He's out of Georgia. Basically, 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.000 in my mind, would have been the top wide receiver 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:50.840 taking if he did didn't stuff with this knee injury 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.720 last spring. He came back last college season, played the 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.760 last three or four games, um looked pretty good. But 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.760 of course it's coming back from a major knee injury. 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.280 But he looks healthy now. And uh, I think the 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.560 Steelers got a steal with Pickens, And of course Jante 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.240 Johnson is still wide receiver one there. But I'm thinking 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.720 I like Pickens more than Chase Claypool going into this year. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.120 Who Claypool getting drafted before pickings? So I think if 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.800 you incorporate Price, I can definitely see that he's gonna 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:23.640 get on the field a decent amount. But the wide 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:27.000 receiver three in Pittsburgh just it has been so boom 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.160 or bust for so many years, and it's you know, 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.120 it's the same coaching, it's different quarterback, but it's everything 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:36.680 so so much the same there that Um, Yeah, to 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.440 be determined if I really like Pickens is a really 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.920 great high upside late pick, just because the immense amount 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.440 of talent and we've already seen some of those you know, 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:52.320 one handed catches that he made, especially early in college. Um, uh, 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.440 it camps so far, So I take it back. I 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.320 think Jamis and Williams would have been the top wide 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:02.440 receiver taken, but he also suffered injuries. National championship game. 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.960 But George Pickens, I think we're not sold on Jamison 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.280 Williams of the Lions of course being ready, Uh not 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.600 at all. Pickens like it will be ready and he 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.200 looks ready for the league right now. But like you said, 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.000 it was all concerned his quarterback really right, Yeah, and 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:22.440 like all the concerns, like nobody thought Pickens wasn't talented. 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.240 It was just you know, off field and maturity and stuff. 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.400 You know, if if he comes to work as a 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.480 bro like yeah, so, uh, we got some more things 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.520 we want to talk about. That's happening camp so far. 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.640 But we're going to take a quick break. You gotta 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:42.200 pay the bills. Gotta gotta pay some bills. Well, does 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.040 charge need to pay the bills like yourself with just 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.320 sell off some of those gold statues that are in 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:53.360 the yards, maybe their gold statutes of himself. The water 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.680 is pouring out of it. It's pretty There's one of Scraps, 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.240 there's one of Pepper, the other dog. What's the other 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:03.200 dog to Pepper? Scraps and Pepper. All right, we're gonna 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:18.880 take a break. We will be right back in a minute. 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:25.520 Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm your host today anyway, 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.800 Scott Fish sitting across from me as Brian Johnson. What's 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.000 going on? We're co host. I don't even I'm not 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.400 your host, I'm your co hosts Brian Johnson. Team in 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.040 this tag team? In this one like the what was 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.560 your favorite tag team back in the w w F days? 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.520 I know, what's the w w E Gosh, so many 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:49.720 good ones. Probably having Nash Scott Hall tag team that 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.680 was a little later than I was. More than you watched. 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:55.920 You were into wrestling a little later on in life 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.920 than I was. Remember the Rockers? Okay, no, no, I was. 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.240 I was in wrestling at a young age. I just 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.280 don't I don't remember the names as well. You know, 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.560 they didn't have a name, but there was Hack Saw, 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.480 Jim Duggan and who did he team up with? Anyway, 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.440 we're getting off topic. Yere off topic. Now we should 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.280 know this stuff is he's wrestling all day? Think, uh, 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:23.199 let's let's go over to Buffalo where Isaiah Mackenzie is 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.560 the absolute talk of camp. Right now, how do you 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.520 feel about zam Mackenzie? They just they just signed Crowder 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:31.679 to take that role and Mackenzie is the one stepping 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.120 up apparently. Yeah, this was like the first like bombshell 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.760 fantasy relevant story out of camp was Isaiah Mackenzie running 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.240 with the ones. Like you said, the Bills signed Jameson 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.080 Crowder in the off season, and Crowder was a guy 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:50.560 going you know, around eleven twelve ISS in drafts and 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.760 Mackenzie was going undrafted it basically on the last round. 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.920 And now that gap is I don't even see Mackenzie 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.880 drafted any of my drafts I've gone so far but 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:04.600 before this, right, But I'm not overreacting too much. Um, 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.399 of course, cold Beasley no longer there, but you know, 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.919 Beasley was very, very viable option in fantasy football for 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.480 the last few years in that offense. So it'll be 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.160 interesting to see who uh gets the majority of work 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.320 out of the slot for Buffalo. But it's gonna be 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.880 way more of a competition than initially. Josh Allen does 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.200 throw the slot a ton, but was it because of 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.080 what he because he had Beasley there, or or was 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:32.560 it you know, their their scheme. They also seemingly with 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.560 the addition to James Cook and and the fact they 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.680 went after j D. Mckiss i and think things like that, 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.000 they seemingly want to get the ball to the running 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.359 back in space as well, so that it's gonna be 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:46.280 interesting what happens behind Diggs there. Yeah, and uh yeah, 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.440 I mean everyone's expecting a big bump in production from 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:53.600 Gabriel Davis, Dawson Knox uh of course popped off last year. 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.520 He's a red zone threat. So speaking of Digs, I mean, 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.920 one of the best wide receivers in the league, of course, 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:04.879 but there's just so many feed right now. Um, I'm 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.120 a little worried about Digs when it comes to just 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.760 you know, his fantasy. Potentially he's going to be a 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:15.560 threat on the field, and his upside is like he's 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.280 still probably gonna finish right around the top twelve wide 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:21.439 receivers even with the downtick. It just may not be 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.320 a wide receiver one overall upside like it like it 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.119 was a couple of years ago. To hit that like 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.080 a hundred and fifty target mark might be tough. I 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.960 think I think the main news here is just the 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.679 way Mackenzie's playing with the ones, the way he's standing 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.880 out and the flashes we saw last year. He's draftable now, 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.040 He's you shouldn't ignore him now. You should probably be 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.200 taking that dart throughout the end. And what people need 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:46.440 to be also concerned with when it comes to Buffalo 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:51.200 quote unquote on concerns. They've got a great defense. Uh, 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.840 it didn't show in that the last game against the 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:57.720 Chiefs in the playoffs. And they're white and a few 0:19:57.720 --> 0:19:59.800 other people, but they're not They're not going to be 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:02.280 in a ton of shootouts. Are probably gonna get up big. 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:06.560 They're in division. Ones are going to be interesting with Oakland, Uh, 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.720 the Chargers and the Chiefs, those will be some interesting ones. 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.640 But you're right, their defense is actually it's actually pretty good. 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.480 So yeah, this I'm really just talking to Digs. I 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.760 don't know. The price tag seems a little heavy heavy 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.679 for me, Diggs, and then Gabe Davis is going pretty 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.000 early for me too. But Gave Davis went from a 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.120 guy that everybody loved but that but he was going 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:29.879 at a reasonable price. And now, like I I mentioned 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.679 this on another show the other day, I saw Gabriel 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.600 Davis Boys wide receiver fourteen in a draft and I'm like, 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.080 that is just ridiculous. Well, there's no greater recency bias 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:44.840 than plus yeah d four touchdown game which was what 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.840 Davis did uh in that loss to the Chiefs in 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:50.240 the divisional round last year. Before we leave Buffalo, we 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:52.760 would be remiss if we didn't bring up Zack Moss 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:55.040 on this show, a favorite of the show. But I've 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:59.879 seen little Steve. I've seen a little Moss I had. 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:04.040 We're talking about a guy who was inactive healthy scratch 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:10.280 multiple times last year. Is is taking snaps like splitting ones. 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:13.879 That's come on, we we joke on the best shape 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:16.760 of their life narrative. But he did look like he 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:20.040 was in good shape. And it really, it really feels 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.760 like one of those those healthy scratches put something in 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.560 his mind that he's like, Okay, I got I gotta 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.560 step it up. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't call u 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:32.320 Zack Moss a dead cat just yet. Honestly, I think 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.119 this makes everything worse. I think James Cook had some 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.199 decent PPR upside. I think like as a late flyer, 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.800 he doesn't he never he averaged like seven touches of 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:44.160 game in college like he's he's not He's not gonna 0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:46.600 be huge, but he would have some weeks and Signletary 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:48.880 would have some weeks. This just muddies the field even 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:51.200 more for me right now, the story is the only 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.480 Bill you can feel confident in his Josh Allen there's 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:57.200 just way too when he mouths defeat in Buffalo. But yeah, 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:00.480
