Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation,
Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now,
Speaker 1: here's your host, Paul. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. This
Speaker 1: is not Paul Charchion. This is Scott Fish hanging out
Speaker 1: ian Brian john in Uh, Paul Charchion's palatial estate here
Speaker 1: with Brian Johnson. Yeah, I am Brian Johnson. Also not
Speaker 1: Paul Charchi and charge will be back next week. He's
Speaker 1: on the road right now making some training camp visits,
Speaker 1: gathering some intel for all you loyal listeners. And this
Speaker 1: is our last off season show. The off season, well, yes,
Speaker 1: it's not the off season in the NFL. Now, you
Speaker 1: don't call the off season the off season when training
Speaker 1: camp is going. Yeah, there's really no off scene in
Speaker 1: that in the NFL anyway. So but starting next week,
Speaker 1: the long form shows are back. I love it. I'm excited.
Speaker 1: This will be the This is the last kitchen recording,
Speaker 1: the last kitchen will be in the studio for the
Speaker 1: big show starting next week. It's like the lost files
Speaker 1: or something like Paul Charchi in the Kitchen recordings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been I feel like I've been here for like
Speaker 1: a week. I just got here that they lowered the drawbridge.
Speaker 1: I drove across the moats. You don't see a lot
Speaker 1: of moats these days in the United States. I just
Speaker 1: got finished feeding the gators, so they weren't too riled up.
Speaker 1: I hope gators. What are we What are we talking
Speaker 1: about today, Scott? Uh, We're just gonna go over some
Speaker 1: of the early training camp headlines that have that have hit. Um.
Speaker 1: Everyone's in the best shape of their life. Everyone literally everybody. Uh.
Speaker 1: Allen Lazard is a is a Hall of Famer, Derek
Speaker 1: Carr is a Hall of Favor future Hall of Famers.
Speaker 1: Nothing but good news. Uh, nothing but good news, except
Speaker 1: we should start in Tampa Bay. Kind of start in
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Bad news. Not not a not an offense
Speaker 1: well he's an offensive player, but not a fantasy player.
Speaker 1: But All Pro center Ryan Jensen looks like he's probably
Speaker 1: done for the year. Huh. Yeah, that's that's not good
Speaker 1: for for that line. They've they've been building up a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of stuff. They're going and grabbing weapons.
Speaker 1: You know, it is it is a hit, but you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully they can It's early enough that maybe the offensive
Speaker 1: line can gel by the season. Yeah, and I mean
Speaker 1: it's Jensen likely done. And from last year, they're they're
Speaker 1: gonna be missing Ali Marpette who retired and uh, forgive me,
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting his name off top of my head. But
Speaker 1: another starting lineman is now with um the Bengals. So
Speaker 1: it looks like going into the season, the the Bucks
Speaker 1: are gonna be down three linemen from last year. So
Speaker 1: that's that's concerns me a little bit for Leonard four
Speaker 1: Nett and uh, of course Tom Brady and his pass catchers.
Speaker 1: And speaking of tom Brady's pass catchers, think about the
Speaker 1: the Julio signing, hate the number uh signing. Is he
Speaker 1: gonna play tight end? You think? You know he he
Speaker 1: actually was fairly okay when he played and when it
Speaker 1: was fully healthy. Over the last two years, he's just
Speaker 1: missed a lot of games and that's his biggest bugaboo recently.
Speaker 1: In fact, he's had those lower leg injuries his whole career.
Speaker 1: You know, so um that that's that's the concern with
Speaker 1: Julio is the is the injuries. They the Temp Bay
Speaker 1: Buccaneers also uh said they did not put they cleared. Basically,
Speaker 1: they cleared Chris Godwin, So he's not going to be
Speaker 1: on pup. He's gonna actually sounds like he's well ahead
Speaker 1: of schedule. Um and I'm still not convinced he's gonna
Speaker 1: be ready week one, though, we will see. I think
Speaker 1: one thing bringing in Julio does is they can take
Speaker 1: their time with him a little bit. Maybe he doesn't
Speaker 1: start on the PUP, but maybe he's back in a
Speaker 1: few weeks. In My main takeaway from the whole Julio
Speaker 1: signing and then this Godwin news was just how quickly
Speaker 1: everyone has dismissed Russell Gage a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: I'm not either. I mean, outside of Mike Evans, I
Speaker 1: still based on ADP, Julio's ADP is spiked. Gauges has
Speaker 1: fallen Godwin's. Godwin was always getting drafted before Gauge even
Speaker 1: before this news. But uh yeah, based on ADP right now,
Speaker 1: I mean I like Russell Gage more than Julio Seeson
Speaker 1: long I'm not convinced. I mean, Gauge has eight touchdowns
Speaker 1: over the last two seasons. Yea who he has for
Speaker 1: Gauges twice as many touchdowns, he's like twice as young.
Speaker 1: Here's here's not thing. Here's the really the real thing
Speaker 1: with Gauge is cost. Like I think he's gonna be
Speaker 1: He's gonna have good games this year. He's probably better
Speaker 1: and best ball as Hill have his spike weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think the big thing with Gauges his price
Speaker 1: was starting to get to the point where you're you
Speaker 1: started to get a little more on the fence. But
Speaker 1: now as prices dropping again, and that's what that's when
Speaker 1: you want to buy on him. And lastly on the Bucks,
Speaker 1: we briefly mentioned him and talking about Jensen and Leonard Bournett.
Speaker 1: Yeah not fat. Yeah, he looked pretty good. Yeah, rumors
Speaker 1: of him being to sixty a few weeks ago reported
Speaker 1: into camp at two forty four, which for the size
Speaker 1: guy he is, like he's he's just a big dude.
Speaker 1: I think he just like went to Taco Bell for
Speaker 1: one last blowout that the day before. He got weight
Speaker 1: in that day. But he's shed all that water weight,
Speaker 1: so not too concerned. We'll see that the b M
Speaker 1: I of Wondard four Nette, Yeah, they we'll see there.
Speaker 1: There always seems to be a little bit of sharing
Speaker 1: down there. But Ronald Jones gone, Rashod White in GEO.
Speaker 1: Bernard should be healthy this year. They they've they've got
Speaker 1: they've got depth behind Fournette, but he should be mostly
Speaker 1: the carrier there, next next guy we want to talk about.
Speaker 1: Let's stay in the division and talk some a couple
Speaker 1: of Saints talking points. I think Micky Thomas is the
Speaker 1: key one here, uh present from day one of camp
Speaker 1: running routes. They're not no one's in pads, but he's
Speaker 1: in uniform. Uh. He looks like he'll be ready week one,
Speaker 1: and mitt no one was convinced he was gonna be
Speaker 1: ready week one all summer long on winter. He was
Speaker 1: getting drafted outside of the top thirty wide receivers are
Speaker 1: right in that range. But if he is fully healthy
Speaker 1: going in to the season, where do you have him think?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you got to treat him as
Speaker 1: a top fifteen option. You could. I I don't know
Speaker 1: that I have him that high, and I don't know
Speaker 1: how much I believe it just yet. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: a he's about three years away from good fantasy production
Speaker 1: at this point. A little over to. It's been a while,
Speaker 1: but back then we were arguing him as the number
Speaker 1: one overall pick in fantasy football, and I wasn't. I
Speaker 1: wasn't too convinced by some of the earlier videos. This offseason,
Speaker 1: we will see I do kind of like Chris Olave's
Speaker 1: skill set with Jamis Winston. Personally, I'm not gonna rank
Speaker 1: him over Michael Thomas probably, but I'm I'm probably still
Speaker 1: avoiding Michael Thomas to pay if he's going that high. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Winston is a guy if you're gonna wait on quarterback
Speaker 1: in your draft, who was very intriguing to me. Now
Speaker 1: with Thomas healthy, you just mentioned a lot that they
Speaker 1: stud rookie. They signed Jarvis Landry, Alvin Kamara, who from
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing, I don't think he's getting suspended this year.
Speaker 1: That's That's what I'm thinking too, because the league is
Speaker 1: not going to do anything until the matter is settled
Speaker 1: outside outside the lines, right, it does, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like any kind of you know, conviction or settled
Speaker 1: whatever is going to happen until after the football season.
Speaker 1: So Jamis Winston, I mean, he's got some weapons, he's healthy.
Speaker 1: It's a good late shot. He can throw a lot
Speaker 1: of picks. Of course, does feel like one of these
Speaker 1: years that in one quarterback leagues you almost don't even
Speaker 1: need to draft one and you can pick one up
Speaker 1: after they're happen. Super flex leagues there they're it's deep.
Speaker 1: It feels like a lot of great late options like Winston,
Speaker 1: I like Davis Mills and Jared Goff is kind of intriguing.
Speaker 1: Maybe Daniel Jones will talk a little more giants in
Speaker 1: a minute. Sure, how about we do that now we
Speaker 1: talked to enough Michael Thomas. Let's talk about say Kwon
Speaker 1: Barkley looking incredible, making some incredible catchet like their highlight reel. Right,
Speaker 1: but like if they quam Barkley is last year. Honestly,
Speaker 1: that ankle injury was kind of a fluke deal, you know.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he just steps he stepped on his teammates, yeah,
Speaker 1: and twist his ankle of the side and got the
Speaker 1: big bulge that we all saw the pictures of. Uh
Speaker 1: if he's a percent back, huge pass catcher in that offense. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: Barkley's a guy I've talked about a few times over
Speaker 1: the last month or two as a great bounce back candidate.
Speaker 1: Last year, it was his first year back from the
Speaker 1: torn a c L or m c L, and running
Speaker 1: backs generally take a couple of years to come back
Speaker 1: from that, two years come back from that. So this
Speaker 1: will be his second year and last year that the
Speaker 1: Giants arguably the worst offensive line in the NFL. They
Speaker 1: made a significant investment in the old line in the draft.
Speaker 1: So Barkley, I've been doing Best Ball draft since February.
Speaker 1: Scott and I remember he was going, uh, mid to
Speaker 1: late third in the winter, and how he's he's climbed
Speaker 1: up to early second, and I think he's once preseason
Speaker 1: games start. He's not gonna play a tone in the preseason.
Speaker 1: But he reels off of seventy eight just one highlight
Speaker 1: play in the in the game, He's going to be
Speaker 1: back in that. Yeah, wait, first mid first round, Conville. Like,
Speaker 1: right now, I'm starting like Barkley more than Nag Harris.
Speaker 1: Who's going before? Do you do rankings? Where do you
Speaker 1: where do you have? I have him at RB eight
Speaker 1: or not RB nine, I think right now, which is
Speaker 1: higher than he's going. I think he's going about RB
Speaker 1: twelve or so. I do them in my head. I
Speaker 1: don't publish any I should, I wish I did. I
Speaker 1: need to do that, but uh yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: he's going too late and I'm going off course a
Speaker 1: little bit here in Dalvin Cook going too late. But
Speaker 1: but if so, if I'm in the late for have
Speaker 1: a late pick in the first round, and I'm going
Speaker 1: running back, running back Cook Barkley all day, I've been
Speaker 1: doing that a ton. I love this RB ten. We
Speaker 1: basically have our nines and tense flipped. So, um, he
Speaker 1: has him at and I have him at nine. Certainly
Speaker 1: ORB one upside if you say absolute RB one upside,
Speaker 1: and you're getting him in the third in a lot
Speaker 1: of cases sometimes the fourth event, which is that's pretty late, honestly. Um,
Speaker 1: let's let's go on to do we want to talk
Speaker 1: about the camp battle between Baker Mayfield and Sam Donald,
Speaker 1: which is looking kind of gross on both ends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not too fantasy relevant. Really, how do you know
Speaker 1: that Baker and d J. Moore have been showing some
Speaker 1: chemistry early on in camp? But I mean it's really
Speaker 1: about who benefits mostly when it comes to McCaffrey d J. Moore.
Speaker 1: Let's let's skip it. It's it's not super super fantasy relevant.
Speaker 1: Let's go over to the Chiefs. The Chiefs lost Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: who's going to replace him? Juju is making great plays,
Speaker 1: sky Moore is the TACA camp. These guys fantasy was
Speaker 1: super fantasy relevant. They've been making h and again, everyone's
Speaker 1: been making great plays in camp so far. Everyone, I'm
Speaker 1: super excited to see any kind of football football action.
Speaker 1: But you know everyone, I was really concerned, Uh, not concerned.
Speaker 1: But let's put it this way. Before Tyreek was traded
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins, it was josh Allen Patrick Mahomes In
Speaker 1: every draft I did, whether it was super flex or
Speaker 1: one quarterback, they were going in that order. They would
Speaker 1: go earlier and super flex drafts. Of course he'll gets
Speaker 1: traded all of a sudden, I'm seeing Herbert going before Mahomes,
Speaker 1: h Lamar Jackson. A lot of times, Mahomes is kind
Speaker 1: of like he's still a top five quarterback based on
Speaker 1: ADP and it was all because he lost Tyreek. But
Speaker 1: now I'm looking at sky Moore and Jujus looking good.
Speaker 1: I like MVS. Now I'm starting to think like it's
Speaker 1: it just won't be centered around one person. It will
Speaker 1: be spread out more. And of course Kelsey is still around,
Speaker 1: So I think people got overreacted a little bit to
Speaker 1: the loss of tyreek Hill. I think the Chiefs are
Speaker 1: gonna be just fine. And uh, Mahomes is still the
Speaker 1: best her back in the NFL. Yeah, talent wise, talent, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's yeah, there's there's that top four or five that
Speaker 1: just like you can, you can flip around however you want,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to be fine with it. Even in
Speaker 1: Scott Fish Bowl, I have seen Mahomes was sliding to
Speaker 1: the QB four QB five range. So if if he
Speaker 1: falls to you in your drafts that far, I think
Speaker 1: it's a gift at this point because I'm not Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hale will be missed, but not not as much as
Speaker 1: I thought initially. Know what do you think about the
Speaker 1: reports of sky More potentially taking some They're saying, uh
Speaker 1: that everybody wants to be the next whatever works last year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they've been showing that those packages in practice so far.
Speaker 1: And Andy Reid said something along the lines of him
Speaker 1: having like running back legs or something like that taking
Speaker 1: plays in the backfield, Tony taking place from the backfield
Speaker 1: debot and uh sky More and Curtis Sam But there
Speaker 1: seems to be a lot of them this year that
Speaker 1: they're like, this guy is going to do this because
Speaker 1: creative guy, right, And we saw Tyreek Hill take some
Speaker 1: carries out of the backfield, so I'm sure we'll see
Speaker 1: some of that from sky more. But uh yeah, everyone's Scott.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough to get over a wide receiver
Speaker 1: wearing the number twenty four, But since it's my favorite number,
Speaker 1: kind of groovy jr. Uh, I'll allow it, and I'll
Speaker 1: probably overdraft him someplace. I I want at least a
Speaker 1: couple just in case, because there's a chance he leads
Speaker 1: leads down the rookie wide receivers in receiving yards this year.
Speaker 1: Let's talk George Pickens. Let's stick with rookie wide receivers. Uh,
Speaker 1: George Pickens Uh with the Steelers, of course, nothing but
Speaker 1: good things coming out of Steelers camp. For those unfamiliar
Speaker 1: with George Pickens, uh tour his knee up last spring,
Speaker 1: he would have been the He's out of Georgia. Basically,
Speaker 1: in my mind, would have been the top wide receiver
Speaker 1: taking if he did didn't stuff with this knee injury
Speaker 1: last spring. He came back last college season, played the
Speaker 1: last three or four games, um looked pretty good. But
Speaker 1: of course it's coming back from a major knee injury.
Speaker 1: But he looks healthy now. And uh, I think the
Speaker 1: Steelers got a steal with Pickens, And of course Jante
Speaker 1: Johnson is still wide receiver one there. But I'm thinking
Speaker 1: I like Pickens more than Chase Claypool going into this year.
Speaker 1: Who Claypool getting drafted before pickings? So I think if
Speaker 1: you incorporate Price, I can definitely see that he's gonna
Speaker 1: get on the field a decent amount. But the wide
Speaker 1: receiver three in Pittsburgh just it has been so boom
Speaker 1: or bust for so many years, and it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's the same coaching, it's different quarterback, but it's everything
Speaker 1: so so much the same there that Um, Yeah, to
Speaker 1: be determined if I really like Pickens is a really
Speaker 1: great high upside late pick, just because the immense amount
Speaker 1: of talent and we've already seen some of those you know,
Speaker 1: one handed catches that he made, especially early in college. Um, uh,
Speaker 1: it camps so far, So I take it back. I
Speaker 1: think Jamis and Williams would have been the top wide
Speaker 1: receiver taken, but he also suffered injuries. National championship game.
Speaker 1: But George Pickens, I think we're not sold on Jamison
Speaker 1: Williams of the Lions of course being ready, Uh not
Speaker 1: at all. Pickens like it will be ready and he
Speaker 1: looks ready for the league right now. But like you said,
Speaker 1: it was all concerned his quarterback really right, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: like all the concerns, like nobody thought Pickens wasn't talented.
Speaker 1: It was just you know, off field and maturity and stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, if if he comes to work as a
Speaker 1: bro like yeah, so, uh, we got some more things
Speaker 1: we want to talk about. That's happening camp so far.
Speaker 1: But we're going to take a quick break. You gotta
Speaker 1: pay the bills. Gotta gotta pay some bills. Well, does
Speaker 1: charge need to pay the bills like yourself with just
Speaker 1: sell off some of those gold statues that are in
Speaker 1: the yards, maybe their gold statutes of himself. The water
Speaker 1: is pouring out of it. It's pretty There's one of Scraps,
Speaker 1: there's one of Pepper, the other dog. What's the other
Speaker 1: dog to Pepper? Scraps and Pepper. All right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: take a break. We will be right back in a minute.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm your host today anyway,
Speaker 1: Scott Fish sitting across from me as Brian Johnson. What's
Speaker 1: going on? We're co host. I don't even I'm not
Speaker 1: your host, I'm your co hosts Brian Johnson. Team in
Speaker 1: this tag team? In this one like the what was
Speaker 1: your favorite tag team back in the w w F days?
Speaker 1: I know, what's the w w E Gosh, so many
Speaker 1: good ones. Probably having Nash Scott Hall tag team that
Speaker 1: was a little later than I was. More than you watched.
Speaker 1: You were into wrestling a little later on in life
Speaker 1: than I was. Remember the Rockers? Okay, no, no, I was.
Speaker 1: I was in wrestling at a young age. I just
Speaker 1: don't I don't remember the names as well. You know,
Speaker 1: they didn't have a name, but there was Hack Saw,
Speaker 1: Jim Duggan and who did he team up with? Anyway,
Speaker 1: we're getting off topic. Yere off topic. Now we should
Speaker 1: know this stuff is he's wrestling all day? Think, uh,
Speaker 1: let's let's go over to Buffalo where Isaiah Mackenzie is
Speaker 1: the absolute talk of camp. Right now, how do you
Speaker 1: feel about zam Mackenzie? They just they just signed Crowder
Speaker 1: to take that role and Mackenzie is the one stepping
Speaker 1: up apparently. Yeah, this was like the first like bombshell
Speaker 1: fantasy relevant story out of camp was Isaiah Mackenzie running
Speaker 1: with the ones. Like you said, the Bills signed Jameson
Speaker 1: Crowder in the off season, and Crowder was a guy
Speaker 1: going you know, around eleven twelve ISS in drafts and
Speaker 1: Mackenzie was going undrafted it basically on the last round.
Speaker 1: And now that gap is I don't even see Mackenzie
Speaker 1: drafted any of my drafts I've gone so far but
Speaker 1: before this, right, But I'm not overreacting too much. Um,
Speaker 1: of course, cold Beasley no longer there, but you know,
Speaker 1: Beasley was very, very viable option in fantasy football for
Speaker 1: the last few years in that offense. So it'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see who uh gets the majority of work
Speaker 1: out of the slot for Buffalo. But it's gonna be
Speaker 1: way more of a competition than initially. Josh Allen does
Speaker 1: throw the slot a ton, but was it because of
Speaker 1: what he because he had Beasley there, or or was
Speaker 1: it you know, their their scheme. They also seemingly with
Speaker 1: the addition to James Cook and and the fact they
Speaker 1: went after j D. Mckiss i and think things like that,
Speaker 1: they seemingly want to get the ball to the running
Speaker 1: back in space as well, so that it's gonna be
Speaker 1: interesting what happens behind Diggs there. Yeah, and uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean everyone's expecting a big bump in production from
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis, Dawson Knox uh of course popped off last year.
Speaker 1: He's a red zone threat. So speaking of Digs, I mean,
Speaker 1: one of the best wide receivers in the league, of course,
Speaker 1: but there's just so many feed right now. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: a little worried about Digs when it comes to just
Speaker 1: you know, his fantasy. Potentially he's going to be a
Speaker 1: threat on the field, and his upside is like he's
Speaker 1: still probably gonna finish right around the top twelve wide
Speaker 1: receivers even with the downtick. It just may not be
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one overall upside like it like it
Speaker 1: was a couple of years ago. To hit that like
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty target mark might be tough. I
Speaker 1: think I think the main news here is just the
Speaker 1: way Mackenzie's playing with the ones, the way he's standing
Speaker 1: out and the flashes we saw last year. He's draftable now,
Speaker 1: He's you shouldn't ignore him now. You should probably be
Speaker 1: taking that dart throughout the end. And what people need
Speaker 1: to be also concerned with when it comes to Buffalo
Speaker 1: quote unquote on concerns. They've got a great defense. Uh,
Speaker 1: it didn't show in that the last game against the
Speaker 1: Chiefs in the playoffs. And they're white and a few
Speaker 1: other people, but they're not They're not going to be
Speaker 1: in a ton of shootouts. Are probably gonna get up big.
Speaker 1: They're in division. Ones are going to be interesting with Oakland, Uh,
Speaker 1: the Chargers and the Chiefs, those will be some interesting ones.
Speaker 1: But you're right, their defense is actually it's actually pretty good.
Speaker 1: So yeah, this I'm really just talking to Digs. I
Speaker 1: don't know. The price tag seems a little heavy heavy
Speaker 1: for me, Diggs, and then Gabe Davis is going pretty
Speaker 1: early for me too. But Gave Davis went from a
Speaker 1: guy that everybody loved but that but he was going
Speaker 1: at a reasonable price. And now, like I I mentioned
Speaker 1: this on another show the other day, I saw Gabriel
Speaker 1: Davis Boys wide receiver fourteen in a draft and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that is just ridiculous. Well, there's no greater recency bias
Speaker 1: than plus yeah d four touchdown game which was what
Speaker 1: Davis did uh in that loss to the Chiefs in
Speaker 1: the divisional round last year. Before we leave Buffalo, we
Speaker 1: would be remiss if we didn't bring up Zack Moss
Speaker 1: on this show, a favorite of the show. But I've
Speaker 1: seen little Steve. I've seen a little Moss I had.
Speaker 1: We're talking about a guy who was inactive healthy scratch
Speaker 1: multiple times last year. Is is taking snaps like splitting ones.
Speaker 1: That's come on, we we joke on the best shape
Speaker 1: of their life narrative. But he did look like he
Speaker 1: was in good shape. And it really, it really feels
Speaker 1: like one of those those healthy scratches put something in
Speaker 1: his mind that he's like, Okay, I got I gotta
Speaker 1: step it up. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't call u
Speaker 1: Zack Moss a dead cat just yet. Honestly, I think
Speaker 1: this makes everything worse. I think James Cook had some
Speaker 1: decent PPR upside. I think like as a late flyer,
Speaker 1: he doesn't he never he averaged like seven touches of
Speaker 1: game in college like he's he's not He's not gonna
Speaker 1: be huge, but he would have some weeks and Signletary
Speaker 1: would have some weeks. This just muddies the field even
Speaker 1: more for me right now, the story is the only
Speaker 1: Bill you can feel confident in his Josh Allen there's
Speaker 1: just way too when he mouths defeat in Buffalo. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we shall see what happens. So over to the Packers, Uh,
Speaker 1: Allen Lazard being talked up by his his his quarterback
Speaker 1: Cameron Poe. Uh Watson hurt Romeo Dubbs. You seem to
Speaker 1: like I coming on the draft from like this is
Speaker 1: a nice deep threat that might have some best boss
Speaker 1: Spike Weeks. Uh, what are you liking over there? For
Speaker 1: the wide receivers in Green Bay? Yeah? You mentioned was
Speaker 1: for those who don't know. Aaron Rodgers when asked about
Speaker 1: his thoughts I'm going from um Allen lazarread. He's like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm going from one Hall of Famer to another, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which was in response to Davante Adams who said the
Speaker 1: same thing about going from Aaron Rodgers to Derek Carr,
Speaker 1: going going from one Hall of Famer tune. Now, Lazard
Speaker 1: had eight touchdowns last year, minimal targets and like you know,
Speaker 1: you play the extrapolation game, He's gonna have like twenty touchdowns.
Speaker 1: But again, he had Davante Adams are taking the heat
Speaker 1: off him. He was facing single coverage every snap he
Speaker 1: was on the field. I doubt Alanzar has ever been
Speaker 1: double teamed his entire life. That might happen now, So
Speaker 1: we'll see if he actually can be the guy. I'm
Speaker 1: not fully convinced. We shall see, but uh, that talk
Speaker 1: is uh. I've seen al Moizard's ADP rising over the
Speaker 1: last month or two. He's getting a little price. I've
Speaker 1: done drafts for him and Watson go in a very
Speaker 1: similar area, and I feel like Lizard is just so
Speaker 1: much safer like Watson. For me, is like he played
Speaker 1: at a lower level and he should have been He
Speaker 1: should have been able to do way more than he
Speaker 1: was given his you know, he's kind of a physical
Speaker 1: you know beasts. So I think Watson is a huge
Speaker 1: question mark. I think he could he could like his
Speaker 1: range of aut comps is huge. He could completely bust
Speaker 1: or he could be the Packers wide receiver one. I
Speaker 1: just feel a lot safer with Lizard. Yeah, and Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers tends to trust people he's played with before and Watson.
Speaker 1: You you referring to Christian Watson, of course, when when
Speaker 1: drafted by the Packers in the early second round. Uh, huge,
Speaker 1: huge bumping value. But now he's in danger of missing
Speaker 1: some He's not practicing right now. He had a little
Speaker 1: a minor knee procedure done. They said he probably could
Speaker 1: have played through it, but they figured why why risk it?
Speaker 1: But it might be a slow start for Christian Watson,
Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna see him slide down the
Speaker 1: draft boards a little bit these next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: And Romeo Dubs, I wish he was Dubes d O
Speaker 1: U B S. I guess that's Dubs. Green Bay has
Speaker 1: always got weird pronunciations with their players last names, going
Speaker 1: back to Rhett Favre, but Dubs uh could be a
Speaker 1: steal for both Green Bay and fantasy managers willing to
Speaker 1: draft him. He's good in camp so far, but again,
Speaker 1: these guys are running around in short shorts and no pads.
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna be too much into this Dubs
Speaker 1: Dubs hype just yet. Yeah, stay tuned for next week
Speaker 1: when we talk about training camp battles. Once again, speaking
Speaker 1: of hype for what feels like the third year row
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell sleeper seasons, not even third, it's every year
Speaker 1: like when he came, when he was drafted, like he
Speaker 1: was gonna grow with Andrew Luck. Remember, like it feels
Speaker 1: like it's every year this this comes up. But I
Speaker 1: still kind of believe a little bit. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure Church believes. Charge has always kind of been
Speaker 1: a Paris Campbell fan, but uh, you know it was
Speaker 1: we're talking Colts now, and uh when Colts wide receivers
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman the clear wide receiver one and forever, not forever,
Speaker 1: but ever since the draft, it was Alec Peters and
Speaker 1: those were the only two Colts receivers I saw getting drafted.
Speaker 1: But then as we got into the spring, earlier in
Speaker 1: the summer, Paris Campbell was healthy, and now that gap
Speaker 1: has closed big time. Where now I've seen some people
Speaker 1: take Paris Campbell over Alec Peters. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't want to get hurt again by Paris Campbell. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm resisting unless like he's falling to me in the
Speaker 1: last round. I did a show about six D eight
Speaker 1: weeks ago that I talked about Paris Campbell in a
Speaker 1: sleeper for this season, and I'm pretty sure that's why
Speaker 1: he's now gay draft. No, I'm just kidding. I hope
Speaker 1: he stays healthy, but he's got I gotta see it
Speaker 1: from him before I'm gonna be willing to take him
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver four or five options for me
Speaker 1: on any of my fantasy teams. It's weird to to
Speaker 1: remember that t Y Hilton is still there. Nobody has
Speaker 1: talked about t Y Hilton this entire offseason. It feels
Speaker 1: like t Y Hilton, he's got to be what thirty
Speaker 1: I read it, I read I read a thing the
Speaker 1: other day. He'll still be in the max Um, probably
Speaker 1: just enough to annoy fantasy owners because he won't be
Speaker 1: playing there, because you'll be playing other cult starters. All right,
Speaker 1: this this was the I'm gonna call it a scandal,
Speaker 1: the biggest scandal in preseason so far. This is this
Speaker 1: is this is fun. This isn't fantasy relevant. Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: shows up first day of camp. First off, he was
Speaker 1: in like a vehicle straight out of mad Max Fury Road. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was. And you could tell he's never taken this
Speaker 1: thing off roading once because the tires were like Spotless's.
Speaker 1: That was. That was interesting and interesting vehicle. But he
Speaker 1: jumps out of his tank. That probably costs like four
Speaker 1: dollars to fill up right now, and that was just
Speaker 1: for the drive to the stadium wearing his own jersey,
Speaker 1: Broncos jersey, and it's a throwback jersey. I get they
Speaker 1: wear throwbacks jerseys, but I don't even know where to
Speaker 1: begin with this. People he's wearing the same number number
Speaker 1: three at that Drew Lock war. And people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's given throwing some shade at Lock. But you can
Speaker 1: see a little badge because there's a throwback jersey his
Speaker 1: name in the bottom left. But have you ever of course,
Speaker 1: players wear their own jerseys when they play or in practice,
Speaker 1: and they wear him in commercials or like they go
Speaker 1: to a children's hospital or something like that. But just
Speaker 1: to rock your own jersey like that is so off putting.
Speaker 1: This guy. He is a strange bird man. He doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like a strange burden. But we just had to
Speaker 1: mention that. And you're not if you're not talking wearing
Speaker 1: his own jersey, you're not having real camp. I don't
Speaker 1: know that I've I've seen that too much, Like I
Speaker 1: feel like I would have remembered had I seen that.
Speaker 1: But and Aaron Rodgers shows up like like Cameron Poe
Speaker 1: out of con Air. He uh, nobody? He now who
Speaker 1: was never mind? Yeah, let's he didn't do the proper
Speaker 1: headshake and kind of though he tried with like slicking
Speaker 1: his hair back, but he didn't like pull the full
Speaker 1: Nick Cage effect. But he did a pretty good job.
Speaker 1: Let's go over to the San Francisco forty niners. Maybe
Speaker 1: this is the last one we talked about. We're about
Speaker 1: a half an hour, and so why not Brandon Brandon
Speaker 1: and who apparently has taken a big step. He's starting
Speaker 1: to be more of a leader out there. Um, he's
Speaker 1: not going to get the doghouse treatment he started the
Speaker 1: season with last year. He he you know, rounded out
Speaker 1: the season fairly decent. Um. How do you feel about
Speaker 1: you because like it sounds like everything from majurity, maturity,
Speaker 1: to work ethic to you know, plays, it seems like
Speaker 1: he has taken that step this year. Um. And and
Speaker 1: he's on a good page with Trey Lance. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: looked amazing his rookie year in and like you said,
Speaker 1: last year, he wasn't even really playing when the season
Speaker 1: started and it wasn't because of injury or anything like that.
Speaker 1: And you're just like Oh my god, what's happened to
Speaker 1: Brandon Aiyuk? But then he came came on strong. Uh
Speaker 1: his last season wrapped up, So yeah, I'm I got
Speaker 1: high hopes for him going into this year. It's really
Speaker 1: just a matter of, well, there's a there's a few matters.
Speaker 1: Is Deebo Samuel are going to be back? It's seeming
Speaker 1: like he will be now. Um, I don't think that
Speaker 1: really hurts Auk. It might even help him a little
Speaker 1: more than hurt him. It's really it's Trey Lance ready
Speaker 1: to be a pro quarterback, and we're gonna find out
Speaker 1: there there they're either gonna cut Jimmy G or trade him.
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like anyone really wants to trade for Jimmy
Speaker 1: G right now. So it's Trey Lances team. It's really
Speaker 1: just a matter of how accurate Tray Lance is now
Speaker 1: involved UK is in this offense. Of course, like we
Speaker 1: just said, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle a threat San Francisco
Speaker 1: loves to run the ball. Tray Lance is a very
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback and I have a lot of design runs.
Speaker 1: So that's that That's gonna be the question, you know,
Speaker 1: young quarterback, how many like we are valuing all these players,
Speaker 1: this fantasy assets, how many he can can he truly
Speaker 1: lift up on a consistent week to week basis. But
Speaker 1: the talent right now is there to justify the hype
Speaker 1: for AUK. But I'm concerned that the volume won't be there,
Speaker 1: That's the thing. So I'm kind of off a this
Speaker 1: year so I can like see the volume justify the
Speaker 1: ADP basically if he if he gets a targets, I'm
Speaker 1: in all day, but I don't know if he's It
Speaker 1: does feel like you're concentrated offense though. If if there's
Speaker 1: only four fifty attempts coming from tray lance, which should
Speaker 1: be pretty dang low. Um I could I could see
Speaker 1: a hundred ish going to the three mains. So and
Speaker 1: John Jennings is the wide receiver three, but he was
Speaker 1: utilized last year. There'll be other targets, but I feel,
Speaker 1: I feel, I feel like it will be concentrated to
Speaker 1: those three at least for fantasy output. Alright, well, I
Speaker 1: think I think we hit all the let's call it,
Speaker 1: let's let's call it right right around thirty minutes because
Speaker 1: we gotta do two hour shows coming up. I'm excited.
Speaker 1: I'm actually excited for that. It's not got to do that.
Speaker 1: I I love getting together with two co hosts. You know,
Speaker 1: three of us in the room talking football training camp,
Speaker 1: actual preseason games. Charch Charge will be back hosting. I

Speaker 1: get a lot of me. I'm sorry for that. Guys,
