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.
Speaker 1: Now here's your host, Paul. Hello, and welcome to Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchi in your host, my
Speaker 1: co host today as he has been for the last
Speaker 1: several shows. Matt Harrison. Hello, Matt. It's May. That means
Speaker 1: it's my month at the Matt the month of May,
Speaker 1: Matt May. From Matt my my phone auto correcx my
Speaker 1: own name. May. It takes time. It takes phones way
Speaker 1: too long to learn all of your special words, you
Speaker 1: know the things. If you're Matt with one T, that's
Speaker 1: a big problem. I never, ever, ever, apple need to
Speaker 1: talk about f I R trees for trees. Never. If
Speaker 1: you ever see f I R, I always mean f
Speaker 1: O R every single time. I don't use the word
Speaker 1: ducking a lot. Never. I'm never ducking. Yes, like I
Speaker 1: I duck occasionally, but I never talked about ducking in
Speaker 1: that tense. No, you know, I've I've thought this many
Speaker 1: times that somebody if Apple would allow it that sold
Speaker 1: a naughty word, you know, injector into your dictionary. So
Speaker 1: all it did was inject all the naughty words in
Speaker 1: so that you wouldn't autocrrect them. How much I would
Speaker 1: pay real money for that, But I'm sure Apple would
Speaker 1: never let that happen. A couple of bucks here and there,
Speaker 1: Sure you'd you'd make two bucks on every Devian in
Speaker 1: America that speaks English. And that's most of us anyway.
Speaker 1: Speaking of deviants, we've got a variety of them. In
Speaker 1: that way, it is mostly wide receivers and one tight end.
Speaker 1: Today we're talking in a follow up from last week,
Speaker 1: we're talking about the dynasty relevant players in the contract
Speaker 1: year uh catchers, yes, yes, of a contract year. Pass
Speaker 1: catchers from tight ends, wide receivers from a dynasty orientation.
Speaker 1: And so these are the guys in the last year
Speaker 1: year deal. We'll talk about each guy if we think
Speaker 1: they're gonna stay, if they don't stay, or do stay,
Speaker 1: Who that helps, who that hurts, the situation surrounding all
Speaker 1: of it. Just like last week, we we we did
Speaker 1: with the runners. This week we will do it with
Speaker 1: everybody else. So that is the plan of action, and
Speaker 1: we begin with this. Do you do you want to
Speaker 1: start with the players or do you want to start
Speaker 1: with the teams that are eligible? To start with the teams,
Speaker 1: because then I think that people in the back of
Speaker 1: their mind while we're talking about some of these players
Speaker 1: can go, oh, maybe this player could end up on
Speaker 1: this team. And here are the top ten teams that
Speaker 1: I found that could need a wide receiver tight end
Speaker 1: next year and have the cap space to do it.
Speaker 1: All of these teams have at least fifty million in
Speaker 1: cap space next year and feasibly could use a pass catch.
Speaker 1: Got it? H The Colts are number one, and and
Speaker 1: I should note we're going to talk about a lot
Speaker 1: of these teams with these players coming up, because a
Speaker 1: lot of their high priced players are coming off, like
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton is an example who will touch we'll
Speaker 1: touch on a little later. H the Chargers, the Jaguars
Speaker 1: are number three, Washington number four, New England number five,
Speaker 1: since the number six, Baltimore number seven. The Jets, Dolphins,
Speaker 1: and Lions are eight, nine, and ten. Okay, so those
Speaker 1: are your top ten teams that are potential buyers next
Speaker 1: off season. Exactly when these players would presumably get to market,
Speaker 1: they have the cap space, and they have a need
Speaker 1: at the past catching position. Now, the most fascinating name
Speaker 1: out of all of the players are going to talk
Speaker 1: about is a tight end. Yeah, and it's George Kittle,
Speaker 1: and it's the only one's the only right. It seems
Speaker 1: unfathomable that the Niners would let him go. I don't
Speaker 1: think he will. The Ninders are fifteenth and cap space,
Speaker 1: I believe, and they've got about fifty little under five
Speaker 1: million dollars depending on who you look at. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: the other receivers are at least right now, they feel
Speaker 1: somewhat unsettled with Deebo Samuel and Brendan Brandon Ayu who
Speaker 1: we think is gonna be really good? You know, we
Speaker 1: don't know yet. So what are your thoughts on Kittle
Speaker 1: as a potential as the potential of him leaving and um,
Speaker 1: hello again, it seems unlikely to me. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's very likely that he leaves. Ross Dwelly is the
Speaker 1: only backup that's really notable behind him, and he's a
Speaker 1: restricted free agent next season. Um, And I think Kittle
Speaker 1: is really a huge part of the way that Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan's offense is functioning. Remember this team, We'll spend money
Speaker 1: on guys who fit that offense. Kyle use Check is
Speaker 1: getting paid five million dollars this year to play fullback
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That's unheard of. And by the way,
Speaker 1: Kyle use Check, he's a free agent after this year too,
Speaker 1: So that opens up a little bit of space for
Speaker 1: George Kittle. I I don't think that they can let
Speaker 1: him go um so from a fantasy's perspective, I don't
Speaker 1: really foresee this as a buy or sells that you tion,
Speaker 1: it's just a hold. So it's kind of a boring
Speaker 1: way to start this conversation. But if Kittle ends up
Speaker 1: somewhere else, it can't be better than this situation. Right
Speaker 1: on your dynasty cheat sheet, who do you have higher?
Speaker 1: For dynasty leagues ranked? Uh? For well for dynast leagues,
Speaker 1: which tight end you have hired? Do you have Kittle
Speaker 1: or do you have Kelsey higher? I have a Kittle higher?
Speaker 1: You have Kittle higher? Kelsey is I think in his
Speaker 1: aged thirty season this year, so that bumps him down
Speaker 1: just a little bit. So that means there's got to
Speaker 1: be what four or five years differential, But the the
Speaker 1: difference in quarterbacking would almost would make up for at
Speaker 1: least a good chunk of that. Hey, both of them
Speaker 1: had Super Bowl quarterbacks this year. There's and you know me,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not fighting Jimmy Garoppolo. Alright, let's
Speaker 1: turn our attention to wide receivers, where I think there's
Speaker 1: this thing gets a little bit more interesting. Chris Godwin
Speaker 1: coming off a monster season last year with a Buccaneers
Speaker 1: Bucks have plenty of cap space, and so you know,
Speaker 1: they if they decide they want to keep them, they can, um,
Speaker 1: but they're also gonna have to you know, they've got
Speaker 1: other things to juggle, including potentially Rob Gronkowski, Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's a lot of things up in
Speaker 1: the air there too. So, by the way, this rookie
Speaker 1: draft that happened, uh what three years ago, now it
Speaker 1: must have been a great rookie draft because it's Kittle, Godwin,
Speaker 1: Juju Smith, Schuster, Kenny Golladay, and Cooper cup who are
Speaker 1: all leaving their rookie deals this year. Um. So he's
Speaker 1: making two point three million this year. The Bucks have
Speaker 1: fifty seven million in estimated cap space. That's that's all right, um,
Speaker 1: Tyler Johnson is a fifth rounder that those of us
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. No. Um, he's on roster through three. Justin
Speaker 1: Watson is signed through one. He's kind of the third
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the mix there now. Um, But there's
Speaker 1: a lot of question marks here. Will Tom Brady return
Speaker 1: in one? Can they afford Chris Godwin because they have
Speaker 1: a lot of work that they need on the defense
Speaker 1: to make that championship caliber team. They already have Mike
Speaker 1: Evans signed for four more years, including this one, but
Speaker 1: his cap hit becomes extremely palatable after this year. So
Speaker 1: could the Bucks elect to trade Mike Evans, take a
Speaker 1: four million dollar cap hit and then sign Chris Godwin. Boy,
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't see it. I mean, if if
Speaker 1: he if he's got a team friendly contract, why would
Speaker 1: you trade Mike evanc Evans doesn't have a team friendly contract.
Speaker 1: His cap hit becomes so it could be easy to
Speaker 1: ship him off and sign Godwin and get something in return,
Speaker 1: rather than let Godwin hit free agency and get really
Speaker 1: nothing back. Now, the reason to sell on Chris Godwin
Speaker 1: right now, in my mind is all right, Tom Brady's
Speaker 1: his quarterback this year, What about next year or the
Speaker 1: year after that? Well, the reason to sell on Godwin
Speaker 1: right now is according to Fantasy Pros Dynasty Composite rankings,
Speaker 1: he's the number ten overall player in dynasty leagues right
Speaker 1: now and he's the number five wide receiver. He's never
Speaker 1: gonna get higher than that. Like this is this is
Speaker 1: peak value for Chris Godwin, and rightly so. But if
Speaker 1: you are a smart fantasy player, you sell when it's
Speaker 1: at that peak point. And this is the peak point
Speaker 1: right now, so it would be really hard to do so,
Speaker 1: but this is the time you sell Chris Godwin. Like
Speaker 1: everything in this world, the people that get ahead are
Speaker 1: the ones that are buying when everybody else is selling,
Speaker 1: and selling when everyone else is buying. You know, those
Speaker 1: the people that have the stones to do that, and
Speaker 1: nobody's trying to. Nobody's selling Chris Godwin right now because
Speaker 1: the value so high and there's so much excitement over
Speaker 1: Brady and we're not saying that he's gonna have a
Speaker 1: bad season or a bad career or anything like that.
Speaker 1: It's just like you could get a lot, You could
Speaker 1: get a ton for him right now if you all right, So,
Speaker 1: let me let me play this out a minute. If
Speaker 1: if I've got Chris Godwin, and I want the third
Speaker 1: pick in this draft? Are you taking that deal? Um?
Speaker 1: Which which side am I getting? You're getting Godwin, I'm
Speaker 1: getting asking. I'm asking for you. You've got the third
Speaker 1: pick overall, and I'm off you Godwin for pick three.
Speaker 1: I would take Godwin in that pick two. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I I think I'd still take Godwin over any of
Speaker 1: the rookie picks. I would take him over any of them.
Speaker 1: It makes it makes it closer and closer and closer
Speaker 1: you get to one. It's and it's not. It's really
Speaker 1: because there isn't a standout number one guy this year.
Speaker 1: There isn't an Ezekiel Elliott for example, who you know?
Speaker 1: It was just such an obvious, no brainer number one
Speaker 1: pick in a rookie draft. It's not even obviously who
Speaker 1: the first pick is in a rookie draft this year.
Speaker 1: It's not a Zeke or sake K one year. Right,
Speaker 1: It's not a sake one here either, Right. Okay, So
Speaker 1: let's let's so, Chris Godwin, we agree that you should
Speaker 1: test the water and see what you can get for Godwin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster is a guy that I'm taking a
Speaker 1: strong stand against this year, which sounds obvious now after
Speaker 1: last year, check right, But I'm seeing places have him
Speaker 1: ranked twelve fifteen. I think there are a lot of
Speaker 1: people that think he's gonna have the bounce back season.
Speaker 1: I don't. He comes in and and the Steelers are
Speaker 1: in real trouble in cap space, Yeah they really are.
Speaker 1: Um they Smith Schuster is only making one point three
Speaker 1: million this year. Uh. The Steelers have twenty two million
Speaker 1: and estimated cap space that's twenty eight in the league,
Speaker 1: so their bottom five UM and they have a lot
Speaker 1: of capital in the wide receiver position. James Washington was
Speaker 1: a second round pick. He's signed through Deonte Johnson, a
Speaker 1: third rounder through Chase Claypool, also a second rounder through three.
Speaker 1: Just kind of like the running backs, which we discussed
Speaker 1: on last week's episode, in the third or fourth round,
Speaker 1: they take a running back every year. In the second
Speaker 1: or third round, they take a wide receiver every year. Um,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of question marks who's the quarterback in
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh after Big Ben because this could be his last
Speaker 1: year And we we touched on this, I believe last week,
Speaker 1: And if it wasn't last week, it must have been
Speaker 1: the week before. There's this could be the for Big
Speaker 1: Ben this season. We don't we don't know how good
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger is right now because we don't have a
Speaker 1: data point on him for the last year and a half.
Speaker 1: You know, all we got was one game out of
Speaker 1: out of Ben last year. What if he what if
Speaker 1: he would have been bad last year, which is, you know,
Speaker 1: at his age is a real step. He's under his
Speaker 1: seventeenth year. Seventeen year for Ben Roethlisberger. The end might
Speaker 1: already be here in twenty might be here right now.
Speaker 1: We just don't make draft class was Eli Manning and
Speaker 1: he retired, He retired, and Philip Rivers is also that
Speaker 1: draft class. So you know, I know, you know, the
Speaker 1: Steelers don't have the cap space to sign him. There's
Speaker 1: already rumors um coming out of Pittsburgh managements saying that
Speaker 1: it's his last year in Pittsburgh. Um. The injuries and
Speaker 1: the fact that the situation in one have have really
Speaker 1: pushed his value down make him kind of an interesting
Speaker 1: speculative by low for me because I think the value
Speaker 1: has really fallen. And if you find you gotta find
Speaker 1: the right dynasty owner. If you have a dynasty owner
Speaker 1: in your league who's like, all right, I'm sick of him.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to give up on this guy. That's the
Speaker 1: time you attack on Juju. But if you're if if
Speaker 1: it's one of those dynasty owners who's reading the positives
Speaker 1: and going, well, he's a top twelve wide receiver in
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues, Nope, not buying him at that level right now.
Speaker 1: I I think the reason to buy Juju is not
Speaker 1: for this year. It's it's one with the hope that
Speaker 1: he's somewhere else better suited for him. I think it
Speaker 1: was a most stable quarterback than whatever Pittsburgh is going
Speaker 1: to have next um. And you know, but when we
Speaker 1: look at the buyer's list that you put together with teams,
Speaker 1: most of them have got a problem at quarterback. As
Speaker 1: it looks right now, Colts have a problem at quarterback.
Speaker 1: Chargers unknown, Jaguars probably unknown, Unknown, don't talk about the
Speaker 1: Mississippi mustache that way. Washington problem, Patriots problem. Bengals aren't.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know that the Bengals are gonna
Speaker 1: be buying or not Ravens. I mean, the Skills just
Speaker 1: have a lot of open spots on that roster next year,
Speaker 1: which we'll get to in just a couple of minutes. Okay,
Speaker 1: So again I think I don't know the one is
Speaker 1: necessarily going to be better for Juju, but he could
Speaker 1: find himself in a better spot, and that should that
Speaker 1: would be the reason to think of him in Miami
Speaker 1: with TWA. I like that idea. It would be kind
Speaker 1: of a fun spot. Yeah, Um, they could use a
Speaker 1: slot receiver. There we go. Let's go to Kenny Golladay,
Speaker 1: one of our favorite receivers. I if the IF Detroit
Speaker 1: lets him walk their fool. They've got the twelveth most
Speaker 1: caps space heading into this one. And is you've noted
Speaker 1: out in some past shows, their receivers are all on
Speaker 1: expiring deals this year. Yeah, Marvin Jones, Danny Amndola, Geronimo
Speaker 1: Allison all expiring contracts right here. I think that they'll
Speaker 1: let those guys walk and then bring back Kenny Golliday
Speaker 1: quintest cifas the rookie from Wisconsin is their only wide
Speaker 1: receiver under contract. I don't think there's any way Golladay
Speaker 1: hits the market. Um. Although this might be a lame
Speaker 1: duck year for the staff in Detroit, Matt Patricia leads
Speaker 1: the Vegas odds for first coach fired. Oh, I didn't
Speaker 1: know that. Um. The Lions were rumored to be in
Speaker 1: the quarterback market at pick three maybe for two. They
Speaker 1: did not take him, and I think that was a mistake.
Speaker 1: If only to be planning for succession to Matthew Stafford, Well,
Speaker 1: they don't plan for succession when a coaching staffs trying
Speaker 1: to keep their jobs this year, right, Um, so I
Speaker 1: think he's still a bilow. And if we get a
Speaker 1: new coaching staff that comes in and it's a clean
Speaker 1: sweep of maybe some of the bad habits in that
Speaker 1: front office, this could be an upgrade. Um. Is it
Speaker 1: possible that Matthew Stafford retires though? Yes, that's a yes,
Speaker 1: it is. That's a thing that Lions players do. They do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're a good Lions player who's just tired of
Speaker 1: getting beat up and losing, you leave. And that's that's
Speaker 1: what it's been. And you know, and with the injury,
Speaker 1: if Matthew Stafford has another injury like last year, I
Speaker 1: do believe he'll retire. Um. That's a great point. And
Speaker 1: it's a real area of concern because they don't have
Speaker 1: they don't have their next quarterback lined up. They don't
Speaker 1: have anybody to throw to either. So Kenny Golladay could
Speaker 1: be staying for a hundred and eighty targets for the
Speaker 1: next five years. And are they from some awful backup
Speaker 1: or or whisper. I don't know. They might be in
Speaker 1: the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes. They could be if this Stafford
Speaker 1: thing plays out. You know, Stafford goes down to Week
Speaker 1: three with a season ending back into it's Belichick versus
Speaker 1: Patricia trying to get into the case the most games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it could be. So, all right, are we selling high
Speaker 1: on Kenny Golladay now because we you and I both
Speaker 1: just identified some real concerns for next year and beyond. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's just good. He's just really good. And yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the problem. Talent wins out in this in this case.
Speaker 1: So if if there's trepidation by an owner in your
Speaker 1: league and they're like, I might not like this. I
Speaker 1: think it's a by situation. But if you can get
Speaker 1: if you can get a dollar twenty five for a
Speaker 1: dollar on him, I'd sell him. Yeah. I get the
Speaker 1: feeling you can get a lot for Kenny Golladay right now,
Speaker 1: because I don't think most dynasty owners are savvy enough
Speaker 1: to look into that crystal ball very far beyond this year.
Speaker 1: Twitter poll yesterday, UM talking about Calvin Ridley, O'Dell Beckham,
Speaker 1: and Kenny Golladay pick two of the three, and the
Speaker 1: guy who one out as the top player who was
Speaker 1: on most of those teams was Kenny Golladay. So you
Speaker 1: could probably trade Kenny Golladay for O'Dell or Ridley and
Speaker 1: something right now. So that's that's the way I think
Speaker 1: that you have to look at it. Man. Just so
Speaker 1: much of a receiver's capabilities are tied into whoever's throwing
Speaker 1: them the ball, and I just I we can't talk.
Speaker 1: We don't know who the Lion's quarterback is going to
Speaker 1: be next year. Let's move to Cooper cop one of
Speaker 1: my favorite players for this season. I've got him ranked
Speaker 1: really highly. Uh he's his rookie deal is coming to
Speaker 1: an end, like all of these players, and the Rams
Speaker 1: are in a pretty good spot salary cap wise, not
Speaker 1: this year, but next year. This year they're in the
Speaker 1: toilet right now, they're completely but most uh cap space
Speaker 1: next year about fifty million dollars um worth. Noting that
Speaker 1: Bob Woods is under contract through uh. He will make
Speaker 1: around nine million next year and carries too big of
Speaker 1: a cap hit to be cut. Josh Reynolds is an
Speaker 1: unrestricted free agent after this season. Van Jefferson was their
Speaker 1: second round pick and is locked in through I was
Speaker 1: a bit surprised that the Rams weren't in cap hell
Speaker 1: by the way is looking it up, Um, I couldn't
Speaker 1: find a team in the top twenty of available cap
Speaker 1: space where I think Cooper cups um production and value
Speaker 1: would increase. I think he's in a really good spot here,
Speaker 1: So I don't think that he's going to go up
Speaker 1: in value if he moves on, but he could go down.
Speaker 1: So that's why it kind of makes him a cell
Speaker 1: high moment for me, because his value will stay the
Speaker 1: same if he's with the Rams, but it's got a
Speaker 1: better chance of going down if he hits the wrong spot,
Speaker 1: uh landing spot in in in in another place. But
Speaker 1: that also makes a speculative by low on Robert Woods,
Speaker 1: because if you remember two years ago when Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: got injured, Robert Woods moved into the slot, and Robert
Speaker 1: Woods had great production from the slot for those last
Speaker 1: eight games, and where they put there does well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so if they decide, well, we got Robert Woods under contract,
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna try to, you know, mix in
Speaker 1: some rookies here so we can keep the bulk of
Speaker 1: this team together. It might be Robert Woods manning the
Speaker 1: slot next year, and I think you get him at
Speaker 1: a pretty cheap level right now. Uh, that's the guy
Speaker 1: that I'd be speculatively buying low one right now. I
Speaker 1: think Cooper Cup's got a eighty or ninety percent chance
Speaker 1: of staying. I think that you're probably right, yeah, And
Speaker 1: I think his values is I think what it is now.
Speaker 1: I don't know that you're gonna get any more or
Speaker 1: less for him going forward. So I think Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: just he's Cooper Cup. He's Cooper Cup. But but guys
Speaker 1: like inside, by the way, Cooper Cup is Coop a company.
Speaker 1: The kind of insight you can only get on this show.
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Matt, let's take a break. We're talking
Speaker 1: about the dynasty players in the last years of their deal.
Speaker 1: Are you buying low selling high? What could these teams
Speaker 1: look like next year and beyond? Paul Charchi and Matt
Speaker 1: Harrison with you Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Matt Harrison with you breaking
Speaker 1: down dynasty players in the last year their deals. Pass catchers,
Speaker 1: specifically Matt. We did running backs last week. We encourage
Speaker 1: you to check out the podcast on that iTunes, i
Speaker 1: Heart radio, wherever you get your favorite podcast, you can
Speaker 1: find Fantasy Football Weekly all the running back discussion from
Speaker 1: last week. This week, it's the past catchers we've already
Speaker 1: broken down, George Kittle, Chris Godwin, Juju Smith, Schuster, Kenny Gollady,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Let's turn our attention to another five or
Speaker 1: so guys, beginning with Keenan Allen and another pretty unsettled
Speaker 1: quarterback position depending on how you feel about Jordan Law. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I want to note that the first five guys that
Speaker 1: we just talked about, they all haven't made their money yet.
Speaker 1: The next five guys we're gonna talk about, they've made some.
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen making ten and a half million this season,
Speaker 1: he'll be twenty nine next year in season. For a
Speaker 1: guy with that beard, I always think he's about fifty
Speaker 1: two years old. You know, the bald head, the long
Speaker 1: the log, scruffy beard. I'm like, man, he looks like
Speaker 1: an old guy. Already. Let's get him together with Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1: You can't beat the student. Uh. The Chargers have one
Speaker 1: hundred and two million dollars in cap space next year.
Speaker 1: That's the second um. They already picked up the fifth
Speaker 1: year option on Mike Williams for next season. That means
Speaker 1: he's going to make fifteen point six million next year.
Speaker 1: He's done nothing, nothing to earn that. Yet they must
Speaker 1: they must know something we don't know. Well, here's what
Speaker 1: the Chargers know, and here's what we know about the Chargers.
Speaker 1: They're strangely loyal. Two players who don't make a lot
Speaker 1: of noise. Melvin Gordon make made a lot of noise.
Speaker 1: They let him go. Philip Rivers started making a little
Speaker 1: bit of noise at the tail end of last year.
Speaker 1: They let him go. But they're signing Mike Williams to
Speaker 1: a fifty million dollar deal and k J. Hill and
Speaker 1: Joe Reid are the only guys on on the depth chart.
Speaker 1: Beyond that, Keenan Allen is gonna probably stay there. They're
Speaker 1: gonna probably make him a Charger for life. Um, if
Speaker 1: he has any vibe with Justin Herbert at all, I
Speaker 1: think it's a no brainer that they signed him to
Speaker 1: his final contract and he can Larry Fitzgerald his way
Speaker 1: out of the Chargers organization. I said Jordan lod Love earlier,
Speaker 1: it should have been justin Herbert of course. Um So
Speaker 1: for for Herbert, lots of question marks on, you know,
Speaker 1: on what his development might look like when he's gonna start.
Speaker 1: Some people think that much like the Browns a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago with Baker Mayfield and ty Tyrod Taylor,
Speaker 1: that they'll actually start Tyrod Taylor for at least a while.
Speaker 1: We don't know what that development is gonna look like,
Speaker 1: but presumably Herbert's gonna be at least okay, and by
Speaker 1: next year, hopefully he will be a competent star. Is
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen one of those guys that people are just forever,
Speaker 1: but he keeps putting up numbers every year. You know,
Speaker 1: the numbers are good, they're not great, But I think
Speaker 1: there is there is some real on we with Keenan Ellen,
Speaker 1: somewhat on we boredom with Keenan Allen. That drives down
Speaker 1: it just it drives down his value. Right now for
Speaker 1: this year, I believe he's wide receiver twenty five For me, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe that's where I've got, and that's a redraft
Speaker 1: that's low. He finished eleventh last year, I know, but
Speaker 1: it's all the quarterback, you know, it's it's all the
Speaker 1: quarterback changes um and you know, not knowing what is
Speaker 1: he gonna get spirals his direction. I realized that Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers was not very good last year. But and I'm
Speaker 1: probably a little more sour on him than I should be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's had pretty much each of the last town so
Speaker 1: he's bankable. He is bankable. But you're right, he's boring.
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen's he's totally boring. Let's go to a J.
Speaker 1: Green me off a lost season last year, and there's
Speaker 1: plenty of other guys right now to catch passes around it,
Speaker 1: but really only Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins after that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: m four million dollars in estimated cap space, sixth most
Speaker 1: Green obviously on the franchise tag seventeen point eight million
Speaker 1: this year. I'm a little surprised they gave him the
Speaker 1: franchise tag after what happened last year. Who says no
Speaker 1: to eighteen million dollars when you didn't play a snap
Speaker 1: but not on on a on an ankle injury, not
Speaker 1: a broken ankle, a and a sprained ankle, and you
Speaker 1: didn't play a a down all the year. And it
Speaker 1: was weird last year because AJ Greenwood seemed upset about
Speaker 1: many times getting getting injured. I think he wanted to
Speaker 1: be traded last year and then they're like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: know you didn't play last year, but we'll give you
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars and he's like, well, that's right, it's
Speaker 1: not stupid. So um, like you said, Tyler boyd under
Speaker 1: contract through three, which we got right this week, Thank you, Tee.
Speaker 1: Higgins drafted in the second round John Ross. His fifth
Speaker 1: year option was declined, so he'll hit free agency after
Speaker 1: this year. Um, if A J green is Joe Burrows guy,
Speaker 1: I think I think Higgins is gonna be as guy.
Speaker 1: We'll see, well, let's see what happened long this year.
Speaker 1: But if he's his guy, I think that the Bengals
Speaker 1: are another one of those loyal franchises that that will
Speaker 1: bring you back and we'll bring you back at a
Speaker 1: at a salary that uh that works. So um. We
Speaker 1: did talk about Joe Mixon, who also needs a new contract.
Speaker 1: I think if Mixon ends up hitting free agency. I
Speaker 1: think A J. Green will stay, no no questions about it.
Speaker 1: I think that they'll have the money to it, they'll
Speaker 1: just do it. Running Backs just don't don't know. They
Speaker 1: just don't make as much money and they aren't discoveted
Speaker 1: in free agency. Um So, I think that offense is
Speaker 1: going to be better this year. Remember they get first
Speaker 1: round pick from teen Jonah Williams back from injury to
Speaker 1: help anchor that line. How that helps? Um So? I
Speaker 1: think he's a buy low for this year. But you can't.
Speaker 1: It's it's so low, it's historically low on AJ. But
Speaker 1: here's the deal. I think you buy low, and I
Speaker 1: think that you sell as soon as you can. Okay,
Speaker 1: end of the season. End of the season, get eight
Speaker 1: games in and have a J. Green have a three
Speaker 1: touchdown game. That's the moment you sell. Paul Charchi and
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison with you, Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Matt Harrison with you.
Speaker 1: The tempting part on A J. Green is if he
Speaker 1: feels super old right now, right the same ages Julio
Speaker 1: Sat Marture, same draft um famously, they if he if
Speaker 1: he's still got three good more years in him and
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is everything we think he's gonna be. Man,
Speaker 1: it's such a good time to buy and hold him
Speaker 1: for three years. But I don't know that any of
Speaker 1: that is true. So we'll see. Let's move on to
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson. Um, Chicago paid him a bunch of money
Speaker 1: to come over three years ago. He's in the last
Speaker 1: year of his deal. Uh, fifteen million this year. He'll
Speaker 1: be twenty eight years old during the season. He's pretty
Speaker 1: young still, because you're how long I've been talking about
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson. Well, I mean he's one year younger than
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and you called him the old Um. So
Speaker 1: the Bears have twenty four million in estimated cap space.
Speaker 1: That's not good. That's twenty six in the league. Um.
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller is the only wide receiver under contract really
Speaker 1: worth mentioning. Uh. He was the second rounder last year.
Speaker 1: But get this, Allen Robinson's career quarterbacks, Oh, they're bad.
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, Chad Henny, Mitchell Trubisky, and Chase Daniel are
Speaker 1: the players he's caught passes from in his career. It's
Speaker 1: and now we're gonna add Nick Foles to that, and
Speaker 1: Nick Foles is probably by a lot. Yeah, outside of
Speaker 1: his a c L season, he's had over a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty targets and three of his five healthy seasons.
Speaker 1: And the Bears have a coaching staff that could be
Speaker 1: on the bubble as well. If the Bears go, if
Speaker 1: they don't make the playoffs again, if it's something a
Speaker 1: lot like last year, it's over well, I think that
Speaker 1: they might be looking at a complete tear down of
Speaker 1: that franchise. Front office to um Khalil Mack might be
Speaker 1: on the market next year. They might be on the market,
Speaker 1: jettison players left and right. So and I don't think
Speaker 1: it'd be very likely that Allen Robinson signs in Chicago,
Speaker 1: which means there's an upgrade coming for him anywhere else.
Speaker 1: Can't anybody, I think that's right. Anywhere else he could go.
Speaker 1: And by the way, Allen Robinson is really good, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think his numbers do improve with fulls. I
Speaker 1: think this is your last by low opportunity on Allen Robinson,
Speaker 1: which is why in our Empire League, I tried to
Speaker 1: buy him off of you. You you turn him down,
Speaker 1: turn down the trade right, I wouldn't have made you, well,
Speaker 1: I should, I should, I won't. I will not even
Speaker 1: tell people what you wanted to what you tried to
Speaker 1: offer me. For Travis Kelsey, I'll tell Allen Robinson it
Speaker 1: was a first round pick, a second round pick, and
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop. He was a wide receiver that people like
Speaker 1: and he's a huge ceedee. Lamb just destroyed him. Probably
Speaker 1: didn't help. See. I love Travis Kelsey. Kelsey for me
Speaker 1: from a dynasty and empire standpoint, he's just foundational. So
Speaker 1: you know what's great about Travis Kelsey. He's older than
Speaker 1: keenan guy in the NFL, but he was a late
Speaker 1: bloomer because he didn't like a lot of tight ends.
Speaker 1: He got very little action in his first few years,
Speaker 1: so I don't think he's a guy with a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of wear on the tires either way.
Speaker 1: By Allen Robinson now before the season begins, and I
Speaker 1: think that you'll be happy about that. Will Fuller is
Speaker 1: next up. The Texans obviously lost Uma DeAndre Hopkins, gained
Speaker 1: back Brandon Cooks, but they also have Kenny Stills and
Speaker 1: Randall cop So the Texans have twelve million dollars in
Speaker 1: estimated cap space next year. That's terrible of any team
Speaker 1: that's not negative next year already. And by the way,
Speaker 1: they're paying thirty one million dollars this year to their
Speaker 1: top four wide receivers. Randall Cobb, who has signed this
Speaker 1: signing that three year deal. He's got it out after
Speaker 1: year two, but he's stuck on roster and next year
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb is gonna make ten point six million dollars. Unbelievable. Um,
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks will make eight million this year. He has
Speaker 1: an additional three years on his contract, but could be
Speaker 1: cut for no penalty after this season. DAMA I might
Speaker 1: have to do. He will be cut next year, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, it's not good for Brandon Cooks. As
Speaker 1: a side note, we should spend a second on him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because DeShawn Watson's the guy you want to you want
Speaker 1: to invest in. De Shawn Watson to Brandon Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 1: Cooks gets cut next year, it could be Dwayne Haskins
Speaker 1: to to Brandon Cooks, Cooks will be on his like
Speaker 1: seventh teams that's right in six years. Um. Kenny Stills
Speaker 1: is making seven million this year and his contract expires
Speaker 1: this season two. I don't think the Texans can afford
Speaker 1: any of these guys, meaning Randall Cob might be your
Speaker 1: go to on the Houston Texans next year. And can
Speaker 1: you imagine Will Fuller and Washington or Jacksonville or New England. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be bad. He's definitely a cell high candidate
Speaker 1: right now, especially if he has one of those will
Speaker 1: Fuller games and that Yeah, I'm not selling today in May.
Speaker 1: I'm selling on October seven, the monday after he goes
Speaker 1: berserk one weekend, because you know he will, and then
Speaker 1: the following weekend he'll have a hamstring injury that too.
Speaker 1: And but people know this about will Fuller. That's secrets.
Speaker 1: There are no secrets on will Fuller, right, that's everybody knows.
Speaker 1: It might not be sell high, it just might be
Speaker 1: sell yeah, period, just sell get out all right. Last guy,
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, a player I think people are two
Speaker 1: down on after everything that went wrong last year. He
Speaker 1: got hurt. Jacoby percent isn't good. You know, so many
Speaker 1: problems with him. They get Philip Rivers now, who will
Speaker 1: bring back if nothing else, competency add to the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: Chargers fans might argue, but company compared to Jacoby percon
Speaker 1: I think earlier in this podcast, you just said Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers wasn't very good. He wasn't very good last year,
Speaker 1: but I think he'll be far better this year. Behind
Speaker 1: that offensive line. Here you have one of the classically
Speaker 1: immobile quarterbacks playing by the best offensive line in football.
Speaker 1: I think Rivers just set on a nice little bounce
Speaker 1: back season coming, and I think t Y Hilton is
Speaker 1: going to be a big part of it, in part
Speaker 1: because Michael Pittman's a rookie. Paris Campbell's in his second
Speaker 1: year but missed half of last year with that hand injury.
Speaker 1: Just there's so much more experience and productivity with t
Speaker 1: Y Hilton than everybody else. Yeah, and uh, Hilton's entering
Speaker 1: his age thirty season this year. He's making fourteen and
Speaker 1: a half million. Uh. The Colts, however, have the most
Speaker 1: salary cap space available next year at million. They have
Speaker 1: managed their cap so incredibly well in Indy, and I
Speaker 1: think are just waiting for the time to pounce and
Speaker 1: spend all that money and go for a title. It
Speaker 1: might not be with Philip Rivers, and it might not
Speaker 1: be with t Y Hilton on the team either. Um
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell was a second round pick. He's signed through
Speaker 1: the two season. One of my favorite sleeper deep sleepers
Speaker 1: for next year, Paris Campbell and then Michael Pittman was
Speaker 1: also a second round pick. He's signed through Zach Pascal.
Speaker 1: He'll be a restricted free agent after this year, the
Speaker 1: last year he's not a fact. If they resigned Hilton,
Speaker 1: it'll be at a hometown discount. He won't be making
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half million. And in his career, well,
Speaker 1: it depends on what this year, what he does this year,
Speaker 1: but you're right, I don't think he will either at
Speaker 1: this stage of his career. And if we're worried about
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, we gotta be worried about Philip Rivers because
Speaker 1: is he going to be around next year? Who will be?
Speaker 1: Who will the Colts have a quarterback? So while you're
Speaker 1: buying t Y Hilton, well, for this year, i'm buying
Speaker 1: for I'm buying him. I don't know about beyond that.
Speaker 1: I'm selling t Y Hilton right now out even for
Speaker 1: I know, but Christian Peterson always said it's better to
Speaker 1: get out a year too early than a year too late.
Speaker 1: He's been it's been saying that about Adrian Peterson for
Speaker 1: ten years now. He got out a long time he did,
Speaker 1: so I think, uh, I think that I would probably
Speaker 1: try to get out on t Y Hilton while he
Speaker 1: does have some value, especially if he has a couple
Speaker 1: of good games this season, and I think you will,
Speaker 1: I really do. Yeah. And I don't think it's a
Speaker 1: talent thing. I just think it's there's too many question
Speaker 1: marks there. If people want to get your dynasty rankings,
Speaker 1: what should they do? Go find me on Twitter at
Speaker 1: Explosive Output and my pinned tweet has a link to
Speaker 1: all my dynasty rankings. Uh. The trade value charts, as
Speaker 1: they're called. I have one for super flex and one
Speaker 1: four single quarterback leagues, and they're both available for a
Speaker 1: small nominal fee for a guy who's you know, making
Speaker 1: a few bucks here and there in the fantasy world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's what I like best about your trade your your
Speaker 1: dynasty trade value charts. It also includes all the draft picks,
Speaker 1: and you know that's that's awfully important this time of
Speaker 1: year to trade this guy for the fifth pick in
Speaker 1: the first round or the fifth pick in the second
Speaker 1: round or whatever. Well, now we have all the names
Speaker 1: to the draft selection, so we know that Clyde Edwards
Speaker 1: Hilaire because the trade value check, so you can you
Speaker 1: can kind of make those assessments as you go as well.
Speaker 1: Absolutely great work. Will be back next week, I think,
Speaker 1: But I don't know for sure, but I think next
Speaker 1: week's topic is going to be pick number one. Do
Speaker 1: you have to take Christian McCaffrey. I don't know that
Speaker 1: you have to. You know, there's there's a scenario there
Speaker 1: there can we sever there are several other players that
Speaker 1: that you could put into that spot, so it might
Speaker 1: really turn into the five, the top five, you know,
Speaker 1: one through five. But um, I'm fascinated by people with
Speaker 1: the stones to take anybody other than the obvious consents
Speaker 1: this number one guy, and they almost never repeat, and
Speaker 1: so there's you know, there's there's there are people out there.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have the guts to do it and want
Speaker 1: to think outside the box and they're just not going
Speaker 1: to replay last year and assume it it's all going
Speaker 1: to be perfect. We'll see how that goes. We'll see
Speaker 1: I'm excited already. Yeah, I love it. We'll talk to
