Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly
Speaker 1: source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. All right,
Speaker 1: what's up and welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly Podcast, offseason
Speaker 1: edition with your faithful narrator John mcgay's at the same
Speaker 1: handle on the Socials and my buddy mister Jeeke Trobridge Jake.
Speaker 1: We're getting ready to shake the snow globe. Right. Chaos
Speaker 1: is a ladder and we're about to get right. The
Speaker 1: ladder is about to really get extended.
Speaker 2: How you doing, my friend, John, don't use terms related
Speaker 2: to snow globes in my presence. I just got pounded
Speaker 2: by a hailstorm, not two days ago, not two days ago, John.
Speaker 3: It felt like little icy asteroids that were.
Speaker 1: It's eighty here out of my roof. Yeah, I'm in
Speaker 1: New York and it's eighty right now. Two days ago
Speaker 1: we were wearing hoodies and bubbled up. This time of
Speaker 1: year is really is really, really crazy.
Speaker 2: So do it for the draft. I think we should
Speaker 2: point that out. They do this, that we can all
Speaker 2: get extra ampt and on our toes for the draft.
Speaker 1: I'm right, right, Yeah, maybe that's where you were getting
Speaker 1: prepared for football weather right, you're in mid season four.
Speaker 1: Now you get your park on, you're ready to go.
Speaker 1: So that's what's on everybody's mind. I've been delaying it
Speaker 1: as long as possible because I'm really not a prospector,
Speaker 1: nor do I pretend to be. So we're gonna be
Speaker 1: talking about the draft, a couple players that are projected
Speaker 1: to go on the first day that we think will
Speaker 1: impact fantasy leagues. We're gonna do our best to maybe
Speaker 1: find a good landing spot if we're interested at the price.
Speaker 1: If it matters or not, I'll be honest before we
Speaker 1: get started, I just like to go with the meta
Speaker 1: and the macro. For me, again, I led with it.
Speaker 1: I'm not really a prospector, and it served me pretty well.
Speaker 1: I was thinking, Jake, can you even think of like
Speaker 1: a rookie that if you didn't pay a premium for
Speaker 1: so we're talking top twenty five overall, is there ever
Speaker 1: a rookie that if you didn't have them in the
Speaker 1: top twenty five overall, you got burned?
Speaker 3: I mean burned. I don't know about burned.
Speaker 2: You could make an argument maybe for a guy like
Speaker 2: Sayquon Barkley in his rookie year, maybe Zeke Elliott. Those
Speaker 2: running backs tend to be because they are so landing
Speaker 2: spot dependent and sometimes we maybe even overanalyze that part
Speaker 2: of it. But there are a couple of guys here
Speaker 2: and there where you probably felt a little bummed of
Speaker 2: like I could have had them, But I don't think
Speaker 2: it made you lose your league to avoid them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think the opposite is the case where
Speaker 1: there are plenty of rookies where overpaying will certainly burn you.
Speaker 1: So I'd just like to kind of set that because
Speaker 1: when I'm almost a little proud that I don't go
Speaker 1: too crazy into every little minutia with rookies in how
Speaker 1: it pertains to fantasy football, because as somebody who doesn't
Speaker 1: know a lot about them, I tend to reap a
Speaker 1: ton of the benefits, mister Jake, because rookies tend to
Speaker 1: get overdrafted. They tend to start slow and or disappoint
Speaker 1: and or clog up a roster space. They tend to frustrate,
Speaker 1: and there I am to scoop up the sloppy seconds.
Speaker 1: So you know, without any further ado, let's jump into it.
Speaker 1: The big name on the board, of course, Fernando Mendoza
Speaker 1: Raiders on the clock probably the most likely spot. He's
Speaker 1: going EDP one to sixty. Of course out of Indiana.
Speaker 1: All the stats really solid. It looks like the Raiders
Speaker 1: gonna be one, if not the Jets, two, Cardinals three.
Speaker 1: Feels like that pick is he's going in the top
Speaker 1: three overall. Do you have a favorite spot or ideal
Speaker 1: spot or where you think he will go?
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want him to go to the Raiders.
Speaker 2: I've been hyping that anti decision for like the last
Speaker 2: three months. Probably, I just don't think that the Raiders
Speaker 2: are equipped right now for him to step in and thrive.
Speaker 2: They did go ahead and sign Kirk Cousins, so if
Speaker 2: he lands in Vegas, he's probably not gonna start immediately,
Speaker 2: probably gonna have to at least wait a handful of games,
Speaker 2: maybe even half of a season of fall season, who knows.
Speaker 2: But I would much prefer that there's a last minute
Speaker 2: trade from the Cardinals. I think if he went with
Speaker 2: the Cardinals and they have Jacoby Brissett there now, but
Speaker 2: I don't think it quite so set in stone that
Speaker 2: Jacoby has to be the starter. I think that's on
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew as well. But like if if he went.
Speaker 2: I would rather him get a chance to sit there
Speaker 2: than sit in Vegas, if that makes sense, because I
Speaker 2: don't know outside of the Steelers that he's gonna step
Speaker 2: in and maybe be QB one on day one, or
Speaker 2: do you think he would if he landed with the Jets.
Speaker 1: Well, Jets probably not now right. They kind of landed
Speaker 1: in the same bin as the Raiders went out and
Speaker 1: got a you know, a veteran who you expect to
Speaker 1: start again. I say it with that kind of you know,
Speaker 1: vocal fry because I'm not really sure, but generally a
Speaker 1: team went out and brought in Gino Smith. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna be drafting a quarterback. Maybe Jets kind of setting
Speaker 1: the table. They have a lot of picks coming up
Speaker 1: in the next two years. I wonder if what you
Speaker 1: mentioned is really what's going on. The Cardinals are trying
Speaker 1: to figure out if the Jets are gonna pull the
Speaker 1: trigger and if they need to make this move. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of moving pieces here, so I tend to
Speaker 1: think right now it's Arizona. I like, again, we say
Speaker 1: coaches and teens in general lie all the time, but
Speaker 1: roster moves are truth, and I feel like they brought
Speaker 1: in quarterbacks and maybe they're telegraphing that move, so I
Speaker 1: think that's probably the easiest one. After that, then man,
Speaker 1: it kind of goes crazy. Running back. I want to
Speaker 1: thank you did a really good job of kind of
Speaker 1: shaking out the landing spots. We got the Titans at four,
Speaker 1: Commanders at seven, Vikings, eighteen Seahawks, thirty two Bengals, ten Jaguars,
Speaker 1: fifty six Jaguars. Probably not in contention for the first
Speaker 1: few guys, especially this first gentleman, Jeremiah Love, six foot,
Speaker 1: two hundred pounds out of Notre Dame. He scored a
Speaker 1: ninety one on the Rookie Supermodel. That's Dwaynemcfallen's lovely work
Speaker 1: at Fantasy Life. You got to check that out. It
Speaker 1: really helps to shorthand people that are not the prospecting type.
Speaker 1: So that's the question is where do you think Love goes?
Speaker 1: The Titans at four. I know people are calling for that.
Speaker 1: We've spoke about running backs being a luxury pick. I
Speaker 1: don't think the Titans are in a position to add
Speaker 1: a running back to a team that needs ale lot So, Jake,
Speaker 1: you have a stance on Love and to the player
Speaker 1: itself is love it.
Speaker 2: I mean, the player himself, it's pretty clear to me
Speaker 2: that he's the undisputed one oh one in any rookie
Speaker 2: draft format, and that includes superflex leagues. So if you're
Speaker 2: on the clock in your super Flex Dynasty league, I'm
Speaker 2: taking Jeremiah love Wow over Mendoza, and I'm not thinking
Speaker 2: twice about it. I think with you know, with Mendoza,
Speaker 2: one little cap on him is like he is not
Speaker 2: the most exciting prospect. He doesn't have the most upside
Speaker 2: to me. You know, he's good in structure, he's not
Speaker 2: really an improviser. He's like the reverse Caleb Williams. It's like,
Speaker 2: you know what you're getting. I don't know if you
Speaker 2: love it With Jeremiah love you know what you're getting
Speaker 2: and you do love it or I do love it anyways,
Speaker 2: because he does comp out to that Bejon Robinson type
Speaker 2: of upside. I mean, that's that's basically the guy that
Speaker 2: you want in dynasty leagues right now. So why wouldn't
Speaker 2: I try to get the next possible version of him.
Speaker 3: He's devastating.
Speaker 2: If you love to smash the spin button in Madden,
Speaker 2: you know, if you like to jam that circle button. Oh,
Speaker 2: it feels so good to watch him break ankles. But
Speaker 2: I would say best landing spot John for me is
Speaker 2: probably the Commanders get him just a wide open runway
Speaker 2: alongside a QB that makes defenders think twice with their legs.
Speaker 3: I'd like to see what happens.
Speaker 1: One thousand percent we're in lock stuff. I will also,
Speaker 1: I had a moment of feeling young because the spin
Speaker 1: button is still the circle in Madden I did. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna date myself. I remember buying Madden ninety two on
Speaker 1: the Sega Genesis and it was like, in fact, I
Speaker 1: thought it was the best version until we hit the
Speaker 1: PS style. So yeah, looking look at that circle button.
Speaker 1: One thing I like to always look at if we're
Speaker 1: gonna pay, if we're gonna pay premiums is volume, and
Speaker 1: we got that. Love had two hundred and twenty six
Speaker 1: total touches last year, so we like the load. I
Speaker 1: love that call out to Washington again. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's a team in the top six that is gonna
Speaker 1: pull the triggers to Washington. That offense could be that
Speaker 1: single piece away from really leveling up. I think that's
Speaker 1: a great call out and a great spot, So his
Speaker 1: ADP and fantasy just before we go sounds like seventeen. Now,
Speaker 1: I generally wait till after the draft, so this is
Speaker 1: fantasy EIGHTYP seventeen. I'd be all over that because I
Speaker 1: like to draft wide receivers in the first. That feels
Speaker 1: like we can get what could prototype as an RB
Speaker 1: one in the second. Pretty much locked in with me there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as he doesn't end up in some
Speaker 2: really garbage landing spot that we just haven't masterminded to
Speaker 2: this point, like he goes to some weird jumbled backfield,
Speaker 2: barring anything like that, I won't draft him in the
Speaker 2: first round. That's just a rule of mind. We talked
Speaker 2: about it a little bit earlier. But in the second round.
Speaker 2: I'm good with that.
Speaker 1: How dare you put that into the universe? My friend?
Speaker 1: How dare you sir? How dare you? Well? All kidding aside, Really,
Speaker 1: it's funny we do that because again, we don't want
Speaker 1: to think about the RBBC, but when it comes to
Speaker 1: premium backs, we expect it to be a team again
Speaker 1: that has the need, is willing to pay up and
Speaker 1: what are you paying up for? It's not a shared
Speaker 1: load with an inferior talent. So that makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense. Next back that I had is man, it's
Speaker 1: been a long time since I watched notre dating football
Speaker 1: and rahib Ishmael getting that clipping penalty. Of course, the
Speaker 1: gossip potential national championship. I'm dating myself all over the
Speaker 1: place today. But they have a second back who's gonna
Speaker 1: be going really early. This is Judarian Price. He's a
Speaker 1: little bit smaller height wise, but still a big boy,
Speaker 1: two hundred and ten pounds. He's projecting around like pick
Speaker 1: fifty three. Again, these are on the big boards. His
Speaker 1: rookie supermodel is a bit lower at seventy one. He's
Speaker 1: projecting ADP one oh seven Jake, So I also got
Speaker 1: the comparable picks in fantasy. That's Pollard Gainwell Jordan Mason.
Speaker 1: So Price is a talent. The easy combat is always
Speaker 1: gonna be. It's its location dependent. So for our purposes,
Speaker 1: let's assume a an a one load, right, not a
Speaker 1: seventy five percent dominant workload. Let's assume sixty forty, you know,
Speaker 1: sixty five to thirty five with the high value stuff,
Speaker 1: just to keep it clean. So if Price lean's in
Speaker 1: a good spot right now, maybe that's like the Titans
Speaker 1: or a lesser team that needs a back where he
Speaker 1: could fill that in. What do you think about Price?
Speaker 2: That's pretty interesting that you threw Tony Pollard's name into
Speaker 2: the mix there, because I could see him going to
Speaker 2: Tennessee more than I could see Jeremiah Love going to Tennessee.
Speaker 2: The fit just makes more sense to me. Right, Have
Speaker 2: them wait until day two at least to take their
Speaker 2: running back if they're going to get the other guy
Speaker 2: out of Notre Dame, who looked extremely explosive with the
Speaker 2: opportunities that he did get behind Jeremiah Love. Again, the
Speaker 2: most ten plus yard runs of any running back in
Speaker 2: this class, really high relative athletics, score a lot of
Speaker 2: good things, but we don't know because he didn't get
Speaker 2: two hundred touches in a year. If he's going to
Speaker 2: be a guy who holds up to that, or if
Speaker 2: his efficiency is really going to drop off if he
Speaker 2: does get to the two hundred touch marks. So send
Speaker 2: him to Tennessee, let him play alongside and maybe hopefully
Speaker 2: eventually overtake Tony Pollard as the one a there. I've
Speaker 2: never been a big Tija Spears guy. I have to
Speaker 2: put that out there, so I would assume that it's
Speaker 2: basically between Pollard and him at that point, and I
Speaker 2: think I'd be really okay with it. I'm okay with
Speaker 2: him not being a workhorse running back in the NFL,
Speaker 2: which is kind of different than what you were talking
Speaker 2: about with Love.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm okay with this pick. I don't want to
Speaker 1: say blind in fantasy. Of course, there are certain spots
Speaker 1: that I'd hate, I'm sure, but I think I'm pretty
Speaker 1: good with it on its face, maybe outside of Tony Pollard,
Speaker 1: who right now where again, where there's a lot of
Speaker 1: projecting going on, hopefully not too much dreamcasting, more grounded
Speaker 1: inferences you know, in real data, but there is a
Speaker 1: little bit of hope here right now. Pollard would project
Speaker 1: as the type to get the TD equity where he
Speaker 1: is in Tennessee. So I'm kind of prioritizing that when
Speaker 1: there's a lot of uncertainty. But beyond that, no, I
Speaker 1: don't think I want gain Will or Mason in that,
Speaker 1: you know, in those roles at that price. Maybe gain
Speaker 1: Woll if you twist on my arm. He's shown to
Speaker 1: be a thorn in everybody's side, so maybe, But he's
Speaker 1: also moving up a touch now. Last thing on running backs.
Speaker 1: And this is another part of the puzzle that you
Speaker 1: hear the jeremiahs in the really kind of sharp draft
Speaker 1: people speak about. And it's so running back is not
Speaker 1: particularly deep this class, right, that's reflected on the big
Speaker 1: boards with only two players projected in the top fifty
Speaker 1: or fifty five even do you think that could press
Speaker 1: Price's price up? Man? I did the love Love thing,
Speaker 1: Love Love and Prices Price, My gosh, come tute in
Speaker 1: every weekend for of the dad jokes, Come free with
Speaker 1: the Fantasy podcast. Yeah, you could see the happening, right,
Speaker 1: a team that has a running back need. Then Abody says, man,
Speaker 1: where pick thirty or something where it's almost like a
Speaker 1: real life fantasy. You know you have a need, you
Speaker 1: know by ADP it's a reach, but sometimes you got
Speaker 1: to get your guys. Do you think we could see
Speaker 1: this with Price?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: For me personally, I think there's such a big gap
Speaker 2: between Jeremiah Love and the rest of the running backs
Speaker 2: Jering Price included.
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's true.
Speaker 2: I don't even know that Jeneing Price is like the
Speaker 2: automatic number two running back at this point. Another team
Speaker 2: out there might love Mike Washington out of Arkansas. They
Speaker 2: see the big guy who can run fast. Maybe he's
Speaker 2: secretly the number two on people's boards, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: Of course, we could get to the middle of the
Speaker 2: second round and one of these teams could kind of
Speaker 2: fight for him, trade up to get him, and I
Speaker 2: guess it wouldn't shock me. But I wouldn't do it
Speaker 2: if I was an NFLGM, But they don't pay me
Speaker 2: to do that, so I don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another really good call up. You just we
Speaker 1: don't know what the thinking is or how many moves
Speaker 1: are gonna be made. So that's why it's weird. You know.
Speaker 1: There's so much like preparation going on. I mentioned shaking
Speaker 1: the snow glow, But as soon as they're done shaking it,
Speaker 1: I'll be in the draft rooms like licking my chops
Speaker 1: because I think that is the real time to jump
Speaker 1: on value before the market settles. Right now, markets have settled,
Speaker 1: but they have settled with information set A, which has
Speaker 1: an expiration date of the NFL draft right so it'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how the market kind of shifts
Speaker 1: off its priors with new info, and sometimes it works
Speaker 1: in both directions. Let me just tie in Mendoza. If
Speaker 1: Mendoza ends up behind Cousins, you can't project him to
Speaker 1: start week one, we might both project him to be
Speaker 1: starting by week ten. That would probably nose dive his price.
Speaker 1: Torpedo that adp where suddenly I'm really interested at pick
Speaker 1: one eighty and a number one overall pick. If that
Speaker 1: ever happens, like sign me up? Could you buy that?
Speaker 1: Like be weary of player maybe we're not high on
Speaker 1: now whose price could move, and then we might want
Speaker 1: to scoop and swoop in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, for sure try to look.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure we'll talk about this later in the offseason,
Speaker 2: even on this very show. We'll talk about some of
Speaker 2: the price movements of these guys before and after the draft.
Speaker 2: And yeah, you want to try to capitalize on the
Speaker 2: over reactions to the NFL draft wherever they happen. You
Speaker 2: and me might disagree about Mendoza and that particular instance
Speaker 2: where I go, hey, if the guy, if I can't
Speaker 2: even say he's gonna start in week five, I don't
Speaker 2: want him clogging up my bench. But you might take
Speaker 2: the opposite tactic and say, hey, I can get a Jackson,
Speaker 2: dark kind of guy, and people really love that you're hating.
Speaker 1: I love it you're hating your player, Jake. Tune in
Speaker 1: every week to have Jake Troubridge player hate on Fernanda Mendoza.
Speaker 1: I do you know what, though, this is the type
Speaker 1: of realism that wins fantasy leagues people. Everybody's always in
Speaker 1: a rush to get the uncertainty with the dream of
Speaker 1: the payout when oftentimes, now this is not the case
Speaker 1: for Mendoza, but it might be with some of these rookies.
Speaker 1: The ADP already speaks for the breakout. And that's a problem, right,
Speaker 1: we want the breakout to be a profit. You don't
Speaker 1: want to put yourself in a position where you're paying
Speaker 1: the premium getting the breakout, but you actually don't profit
Speaker 1: because you already paid for it. If that made any sense.
Speaker 1: Let's get into wide receivers now, justin gun not a prospector,
Speaker 1: but just going buy the big boards feels like a
Speaker 1: really really cool wide receiver class. There's some big boys
Speaker 1: with a lot of you know, high draft capital on
Speaker 1: deck the first one. So this also ties into the
Speaker 1: needs wide receiver needs. Dolphins, Commanders, Jets, you had Browns,
Speaker 1: I might bump them a little bit lower. I think
Speaker 1: they have other needs, but I don't disagree. Raiders absolutely,
Speaker 1: Patriots absolutely. I don't think he'll make it there, but
Speaker 1: the Patriots I think will grab a wide receiver. The
Speaker 1: first one is Jordan Tyson, big boy, six to two hundred.
Speaker 1: He's projecting to go around pick seven. That's Washington. He
Speaker 1: crushed the rookie supermodel with an eighty five. Now his
Speaker 1: fantasy ADP Jake in this one of my eyes got
Speaker 1: real big because I don't It's not that I dislike rookies.
Speaker 1: I dislike paying premiums. I like big body rookies who
Speaker 1: could dominate out of the box ADP seventy three. Next
Speaker 1: to DK Metcalf and Michael Wilson. I'm immediately thinking there's
Speaker 1: probably more ceiling in a number seven overall pick with
Speaker 1: that body type than Metcalf in a sluggish offense.
Speaker 2: There is John and I am trapped though by his
Speaker 2: injury history. I think that's the thing for redraft purposes
Speaker 2: where I go, Hey in dynasty, to me, there's a
Speaker 2: clear tier one of wide receivers. I don't think I'm
Speaker 2: unique in that way. Where it's Jordan Tysons, Mackay Lemon
Speaker 2: and it's carnal tape, like those three are your top three,
Speaker 2: and it's a deep receiver class, but it's not necessarily
Speaker 2: a flashy receiver class. Jordan Tyson is flashy, and so
Speaker 2: in dynasty, I'm very okay investing. But for redraft, this
Speaker 2: is a guy who missed the combine, missed his pro day.
Speaker 2: Like spotting a healthy Jordan Tyson who's just been wrecked
Speaker 2: by injuries throughout college, it's almost like a mythical thing. Now,
Speaker 2: it's like seeing sasquatch or like lock ness in the wild.
Speaker 2: So I don't want to over invest for a redraft
Speaker 2: assuming that he's gonna be healthy and ready to go
Speaker 2: in week one or up to speed in week one.
Speaker 2: So if you erase his injury history, there's so much
Speaker 2: to like, ninety fourth percentile in his dominator rating, ninety
Speaker 2: seventh percentile in his college target share, ninety ninth percentile
Speaker 2: in his breakout age. You look at him freshman year
Speaker 2: at Colorado and you're like, yeah, this, there's not much
Speaker 2: this dude can't do even then. So I like all
Speaker 2: of it, but he just scares me in year one.
Speaker 2: But you're You're okay with the risk there.
Speaker 1: John, Yeah, because it really it's price dependent, right, This
Speaker 1: is not this is funny. This is the type of
Speaker 1: player I might be acquiring early in draft season that
Speaker 1: gets away from me because depending on the spot, this
Speaker 1: is the type of player that could just totally get gassed. Right,
Speaker 1: depending on this spot. Oh man, if it's I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe even if it's Miami right where we think it
Speaker 1: could just be ultra target load. I think that's important
Speaker 1: to mention. For Tyson, now, you're correct, he missed almost
Speaker 1: the entire twenty twenty three season. He got a full
Speaker 1: season in twenty four and nine games in twenty five,
Speaker 1: so missed a couple, but was very good otherwise, had
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen and ninety nine targets respectively, eleven
Speaker 1: oh one seven eleven receiving yards, eighteen total touchdowns into
Speaker 1: two years. So again, health, I try not to speak
Speaker 1: for health too much, though we should be highlighting it.
Speaker 1: It's very important and how it plays with price right now,
Speaker 1: because SADP seventy three, I could probably take a little
Speaker 1: bit of a risk. Again, I'm assuming health, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming health right now. We never know who's gonna
Speaker 1: get hurt. Now, you mentioned Tate, Lemon and Tate, I
Speaker 1: have tea first, but Jamond, if we go teat first,
Speaker 1: I keep my notes in check. Sometimes are EXCELLENTE. So
Speaker 1: this is Cornell Tate out of OSU, of course, Wide
Speaker 1: Receiver University. Another big guy, six', three one ninety. Five
Speaker 1: he's projecting to go pick. Nine, now if you're Into
Speaker 1: Dwayne supermodel LIKE i, am which he does such a
Speaker 1: great job, of it's it's like. Everything you know if
Speaker 1: if you're a baseball guy and you Know Derek, hardy
Speaker 1: people ask me what his projection. Is it's just, everything
Speaker 1: like if there's a win factor and environmental, factor contextual,
Speaker 1: injury just, anything absolutely, anything moving, averages year of the,
Speaker 1: year just all this weighted. Stuff he's a quant and a.
Speaker 1: GENIUS i would say the same For dwayne The. SUPERMODEL
Speaker 1: i tried to pull the threads on. It it covered
Speaker 1: everything WHERE i, said, Okay, Dwayne i'll just use. It
Speaker 1: tate got a ninety two on The Rookie, supermodel one
Speaker 1: of the, highest if not like the. Highest he's going
Speaker 1: at pick. Sixty so he's the actually going first of
Speaker 1: the three wideouts despite being projected to be drafted in
Speaker 1: the real. Draft, second he's going Around Roma, Doomsay Christian,
Speaker 1: Watson Brian thomas now again just on his face because
Speaker 1: we don't have a destination. YET i THINK i Wanted
Speaker 1: doonsay And watson, first BUT i don't THINK i would Take.
Speaker 1: Tom i'm a little off On, Thomas i'm. Not i'd
Speaker 1: rather the uncertainty of a first year player than the
Speaker 1: uncertainty THAT i got after getting a beat down Drafting
Speaker 1: thomas at the turn last.
Speaker 2: Season, YEAH i would say If Carnal tate goes to The,
Speaker 2: patriots that's the area WHERE i jump on.
Speaker 3: Him even to, me maybe Over. ADONSAY i don't.
Speaker 2: Know it's probably just too much of me being out On,
Speaker 2: adunza and that's probably not even fair of, me recency
Speaker 2: bias and all. That BUT i would just say from
Speaker 2: a target competition, perspective it's probably takes then Over Romeo.
Speaker 2: Dobs tate is probably the most pro ready guy of
Speaker 2: this group in THE. NFL i don't know that that
Speaker 2: means he is necessarily the highest ceiling of the.
Speaker 3: Bunch it just means that he's the.
Speaker 2: Safest but if you are gonna helmet scout and you
Speaker 2: you look At Ohio state and you, go, Well Garrett, WILSON,
Speaker 2: Jsn chris o'lave, A mecha.
Speaker 3: Muca if those are your floor comps for him or floor.
Speaker 2: End ceiling, comps you like that a. Lot you Mentioned duwayne's.
Speaker 2: SUPERMODEL i love that. Supermodel he's number seven all time
Speaker 2: in the history Of who's going back to twenty. Seventeen
Speaker 2: that's when it Goes he's what's Between Ceedee lamb And
Speaker 2: Garrett wilson. THERE i, mean that's that should get you
Speaker 2: excited for a guy like, this and it does for,
Speaker 2: me especially if it's a pristine landing.
Speaker 1: Spot, yeah it really covers a few of the blonde
Speaker 1: spots that you're just not gonna get if you're not
Speaker 1: really plugged into. This and this goes to SOMETHING i
Speaker 1: was mentioning to you off, air not necessarily LIKE i
Speaker 1: don't know anything prospects. Proudly it's just that there's so
Speaker 1: much to. Understand you have to accept you can't be
Speaker 1: an expert in. Everything so it's okay to outsource pieces
Speaker 1: of your work to those you believe are an expert
Speaker 1: in the. Field there's absolutely nothing wrong with. That SOMETIMES
Speaker 1: i feel like touts and. Analysts, yes we want to.
Speaker 1: Originate we absolutely should be originating thinking on our. Own
Speaker 1: and it's not to say imitation is the sincerest form of.
Speaker 1: Flowery but sometimes smart people get things right and we
Speaker 1: don't need to redo the. Equation sometimes you can take
Speaker 1: the equation and then see if you can expand on,
Speaker 1: it rather than start from scratch or SAY i also
Speaker 1: did it and also came up with the same, conclusion
Speaker 1: especially if you don't have the. Background SO i love this.
Speaker 1: STUFF i find these macro comparisons very. Interesting right where
Speaker 1: the supermodel is in disagreement with the big, board which
Speaker 1: is also in a slight disagreement with. Fantasy and that's
Speaker 1: kind of what this is all. About Right? Where who
Speaker 1: do you? Like? Where and? Why so this is another. One.
Speaker 1: Man when you Mentioned New, ENGLAND i don't think he's
Speaker 1: gonna fall there UNLESS i had my draft order. WRONG
Speaker 1: i Had New england's first pick is thirty. One, YEAH
Speaker 1: i think it's thirty, one SO i Don't, YEAH i
Speaker 1: don't think he's, yeah, yeah, yeah they would have to
Speaker 1: they would have to move. Up SO i don't Think
Speaker 1: i'll get. There BUT i think the point stands regardless if,
Speaker 1: parentheses and when The patriots draft the wide, receiver that
Speaker 1: price is going to. Explode so if you're INTO, clv
Speaker 1: that's one of the picks that you could just guarantee you,
Speaker 1: like even if we don't know the Name, patriots the
Speaker 1: First patriot wide receiver pick is going to. Explode i'm
Speaker 1: JUST i would love to see them trade up because
Speaker 1: they feel like a team that could be one major piece,
Speaker 1: away and you know that's after. SUBTRACTING i, know Maybe
Speaker 1: diggs is not the same kind of a one wide
Speaker 1: receiver we've had in the, past but he produced, me
Speaker 1: talked about the, efficiency and he was coming off the
Speaker 1: lower body. INJURY i think there was still gas in the.
Speaker 1: Tank or let's do the last of the. Trio so
Speaker 1: this Is Mackay levin five, eleven, one ninety five out
Speaker 1: OF Usc he's projected to go pick. Sixteen he got
Speaker 1: an eighty six on the rookie. Models these are fantastic,
Speaker 1: grades but anything over ninety is really. Fantastic he's also
Speaker 1: slotting into this scene fantasy Spectrum JAKE adp sixty, five
Speaker 1: which the three we mentioned sixty seventy, three sixty five
Speaker 1: in fantasy, terms those are right next to each. Other
Speaker 1: so but the pro names there at sixty, five because
Speaker 1: now we're at the upper echelon of this range Is
Speaker 1: Marvin harrison And Alec. Pierce there's no Way i'm going
Speaker 1: With Marvin. HARRISON i THINK i need to see it
Speaker 1: BEFORE i can invest in. It Alec, pierce though he
Speaker 1: got the, bag he's shown the. Skills he's very much
Speaker 1: the target dominator right now and moved away From. PITTMAN
Speaker 1: i would be Taking pierce in this, group but Then
Speaker 1: i'd probably Have lemon Before. Harrison harrison another super prospect
Speaker 1: when you overpay didn't go, well just saying.
Speaker 2: True, TRUE i don't think that you have the same
Speaker 2: bus potential With lemon and. Less it's a real unfortunate landing.
Speaker 2: Spot but the thing About, lemming Because i'm not afraid
Speaker 2: to say he's my favorite of the wide receivers in
Speaker 2: this class at this, point It's Politanikough award. Winner he's
Speaker 2: not the flashiest, guy but his upside is.
Speaker 3: Pretty, Tantalizing like look at, him you look how soft
Speaker 3: hands are you look at his yak.
Speaker 2: Potential his yards after catch potential is. Massive so in
Speaker 2: the right setting he could easily get to a wide
Speaker 2: receiver one or fringe wide receiver one status even in
Speaker 2: his rookie. Year but there is a chance that an
Speaker 2: old school coach drafts him that doesn't really know how
Speaker 2: to utilize, them or thinks they do and then, doesn't
Speaker 2: and then you're looking at a potential bus. Situation so
Speaker 2: it's not like he is the safest. Guy AND i
Speaker 2: know some people were worried because he bombed his combine
Speaker 2: interviews and there was a whole Weird The combine's so
Speaker 2: weird with so many, narratives and it just feels like
Speaker 2: somebody was trying to suppress Mackay leman's draft capital a little.
Speaker 3: Bit i'm not buying.
Speaker 2: It i'm very invested in this, guy SO i would
Speaker 2: take him A Ralec piers, absolutely not even a. QUESTION
Speaker 2: i think that The colts just spent their money. WEIRD i,
Speaker 2: like we like to follow the, money but sometimes the
Speaker 2: money just gets a little. Weird so for, me that's
Speaker 2: Al Hoik. PIERS i would also take him OVER i
Speaker 2: think everybody in that in that range Because i'm willing
Speaker 2: to invest in WHAT i perceived to be some of
Speaker 2: the best upside in this.
Speaker 1: Class we'll also give you That colt's situation is very.
Speaker 1: Fragile it's extremely, fragile especially to start the year with
Speaker 1: the uncertainty Surrounding. Jones and remember That Anthony, Richardson remember that,
Speaker 1: Guy you remember that guy who was gonna he was
Speaker 1: going to carry my fantasy teams to. Glory And i'm not,
Speaker 1: Sure i'm not sure what happened with, that BUT i,
Speaker 1: joke but it really is true because it's very easy
Speaker 1: and it's not you OR, i but it just happens
Speaker 1: as a, group as a. Public you, know we see
Speaker 1: the best always they're gonna be. Great you gotta overpay for,
Speaker 1: this and he, was look at the draft capital, Spent
Speaker 1: it just doesn't always pain. Out so for, me the great, equalizer,
Speaker 1: right the great equalizer is always what we have to
Speaker 1: spend at the fantasy draft. Table, okay let's wrap this
Speaker 1: up strong with the tight end. Position something three or
Speaker 1: four years, Ago jay hartis like rookie tight, Ends like who?
Speaker 1: Cares why would anybody be drafting rookie tight. ENDS i
Speaker 1: was lucky again to be attached to smart people in
Speaker 1: this industry that had been kind of slowly with the drum,
Speaker 1: beats AND i don't think it's an. ACCIDENT i think tight,
Speaker 1: ends the tight end position is evolving with the meta
Speaker 1: of THE nfl game that we talk about all the.
Speaker 1: Time with the too high, shell there's more disguise, blitzes
Speaker 1: which kind of calls for more. VERSATILITY i ALSO i
Speaker 1: took On Kyle harrison all the time on The ravens
Speaker 1: because he's a single defensive player that's able to excel
Speaker 1: at all three, levels which is very. Unusual but this
Speaker 1: speaks to the fluidity in the, game AND i think
Speaker 1: ends really helped that a guy that can grab that
Speaker 1: safety tech and release then maybe just a quick out
Speaker 1: and turn a loss or a wide receiver screen for
Speaker 1: negative one into a tight end screen which is maybe
Speaker 1: plus three or, four which is a huge, necking especially
Speaker 1: relatively so now we have to have the antenna, up
Speaker 1: especially After warren And fan in Especially fan and talk
Speaker 1: about man that was like the one of the great
Speaker 1: last round best ball picks of all time early last draft.
Speaker 1: Season this, Year i'm hearing a lot of the same drum.
Speaker 1: Beats Kenyan sadiq six three to two forty Five Holy
Speaker 1: macaroni out Of. Oregon he's projected to go pick, Fourteen
Speaker 1: Rookie supermodel score of eighty. Five right, now He's FANTASY
Speaker 1: adp ONE p thirty, Seven Isaiah, Likely Mark, Andrews Breton,
Speaker 1: strange and all of a, SUDDEN i was really into the.
Speaker 1: Price i'm just, saying, Man i'm not drafting any tight
Speaker 1: ends before pick one forty five because if that's what
Speaker 1: the selection is likely now with the, GIANTS i Like
Speaker 1: strange In jacksonville and Now sadik wherever he's. Going, yeah to,
Speaker 1: me the lesson is wait for your tight. Ends what
Speaker 1: do you teach?
Speaker 2: It, yeah you had Mentioned Harold fan And, junior AND
Speaker 2: i started to get queasy BECAUSE i was, like oh
Speaker 2: he Was, yeah he was able to be gotten at
Speaker 2: a reasonable price last.
Speaker 1: Year.
Speaker 2: Yep as much AS i Love, Sadik i've been big on,
Speaker 2: him especially In, dynasty it feels like he's just going
Speaker 2: to be driving up the boards too, fast too. Furious
Speaker 2: SO i don't want to have to tokyo drift behind
Speaker 2: him and hope THAT i catch the right breeze and
Speaker 2: float him to the usable weekly tight end starter. Category
Speaker 2: it feels a little too uh ify for. ME i,
Speaker 2: mean he has the athleticism a thousand. Percent the upside
Speaker 2: is really truly, tantalizing and positional scarcity is a hell
Speaker 2: of a drug in, fantasy and there's still a little
Speaker 2: bit that we need out of tight. Ends like there's
Speaker 2: been some rookies coming up to help fill the, gaps
Speaker 2: but there's twelve teams or ten teams or however many
Speaker 2: in your.
Speaker 3: League everybody needs a tight. End SO i get the.
Speaker 2: APPEAL i Think i'm more in on him In, dynasty
Speaker 2: AND i, think tell, me if this is too galaxy Brain,
Speaker 2: JOHN i think him landing with The Kansas City chiefs
Speaker 2: would actually be my preference because it would wipe him
Speaker 2: out from redraft. PURPOSES i don't even have to think
Speaker 2: about him for. Redraft but he's a very raw dude
Speaker 2: by all. Accounts he's a very, raw very absolutely freak.
Speaker 2: Athlete but he's this close to Being noah. Fan so
Speaker 2: if we can get him a year behind somebody Like
Speaker 2: Travis kelcey to just absorb not have to play too
Speaker 2: much right out of the, GATE i think it's his
Speaker 2: best option for long term. Success does that seem?
Speaker 1: CRAZY i was Thinking i'm drafting him in the last
Speaker 1: round if that's the, case because you Know, kelsey The
Speaker 1: ah comes for everybody, eventually and that's the potential for.
Speaker 1: MAN i tend to think IN dfs, terms and it serves, me,
Speaker 1: well sometimes where would this player be right If kelsey
Speaker 1: were to be? INJURED i hate to put that out,
Speaker 1: there but it's part of the, game, unfortunately war of.
Speaker 1: Attrition this could be it up you know eight like
Speaker 1: weekly tight. End so you're, like, hey, man this is
Speaker 1: pretty good potential for a last round. Pick now if
Speaker 1: you don't look. Him DID i peak your interest with
Speaker 1: any of the later tight ends THAT i did mention
Speaker 1: so THAT i mentioned Likely andrews Or. Strange also back
Speaker 1: there is this is post one, Thirty Jake, Kincaid, Godter Juwan, Johnson,
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry who do you like? There you, know if
Speaker 1: you're unless you're planning on drafting tight ends, EARLY i
Speaker 1: don't think we had talked about. That who do you
Speaker 1: like at to back? End if not the, rookies.
Speaker 2: It definitely is an earlier late situation at tight. End
Speaker 2: and most of the names that you Listed i'm taking
Speaker 2: Over sideacon redraft this, year. AGREED i JUST i Think
Speaker 2: Mark andrews is going to have a big bounce. BACK
Speaker 2: i think that's he's a very slept on player right.
Speaker 2: NOW i think you AND i talked about our mutual
Speaker 2: love For, isaiah likely in his new grading. SPOT i
Speaker 2: also don't mind taking stabs at some of these other
Speaker 2: guys that are further back that it's maybe, cloudy BUT
Speaker 2: i think it's much clearer than With sadiq at the very.
Speaker 2: Least so you, Know chicka conquil of those, guys give
Speaker 2: me all of them, Over sidika.
Speaker 1: Think, yeah, man The conqui rake is One i've stepped
Speaker 1: on far too many. Times but you, know these things
Speaker 1: kind of, happened all. RIGHT i think that'll do a
Speaker 1: jake that was actually really, good really well, organized and
Speaker 1: SOMEHOW i managed not to put my foot in my,
Speaker 1: mouth all, Right non prospectors for the. Win so From
Speaker 1: john mcgaza And Jake trowbridge and our wonderful Producer. Robbie
Speaker 1: from everyone here At Fantasy Football, Weekly enjoyed the, weekend
