00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly

Speaker 2: source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show.

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 2: Now here's your host, Paul Chargian.

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchian. Co host today,

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson. You had a week off, which is nice.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: I know. I hope you.

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Enjoyed it all.

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: Deserved week off, you think. So. See it was I

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 3: listen to the show though I had to with Scott

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 3: on it was Yeah. Now now it is Scott fish

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 3: Bowl Week.

14
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I made a co I made a huge blunder

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: in my Scott Fishball team. And I'll just I'll mention

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: it briefly. So, when you originally sent out invites, I

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: had picked three and I'm like, you know, I'm just

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: gonna set my cue. So I've just you know, I'm

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: set for three picks. But I hadn't even looked at

20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: the scoring system at that point. It was just right

21
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: when the invitations went out, so I just, you know,

22
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: threw a couple of guys in it and then totally

23
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: forgot I had done that. Then it turns out the

24
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: scoring system is basically it's heavily weighted towards rushing quarterbacks.

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, or running backs, but really in my first round, quarterbacks,

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: yes reigned supreme.

27
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: And I had Justin Jefferson all queued up, and you

28
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: never bet three he went off the board. I got him,

29
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: and it all happened so fast, I didn't even know.

30
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: I just the first two guys went right away, and

31
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: then then I got auto drafted and I got Justin Jefferson.

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: So that's the Scott Fish bull in a nutshell. You're

33
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: upset about getting Justin je.

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: Jefferson exactly, exactly. The theme for today's Fantasy Football Weekly

35
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: is cheap starters. People won't like the term cheap. I don'

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: want to ever be associated with anything cheap, right, affordable, affordable?

37
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: How about value? Maybe value starters. You could also call

38
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: these guys boring players. I think that's part of the

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: issue here. Also known as guillotine league saviors, because these

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: are all guys that are ideal guillotine guys, maybe overlooked

41
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: star So these are all guys that are starting players

42
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: on their team, their NFL team, and they have an

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: ADP that's weirdly lower than other starters of similar ability.

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: So we're looking for cheap starters who can help round

45
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: out our fantasy team.

46
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: As scholars say, it's helpful for your players to be

47
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: on the field in order to score fantasy points.

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Yes, it does happen, helps a lot. Yes, that's going

49
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: to be a reoccurring theme here is going to be

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: players that I have opportunity. Opportunity outweighs talent in fantasy

51
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: football way more important. These are opportunity players you want

52
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: to go first by We're gonna do it. A quarterback,

53
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: a running back, a wide receiver, a tight end, and

54
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: a flex flex. Just give me somebody else?

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: Can anybody you want, not not a super flex, but

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: a flex.

57
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: Yes, won't be a quarterback, all right, you want to

58
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: go quarterbacks, go first?

59
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 3: Okay, A guy I just ragged on mercilessly last year

60
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: as pretty much anyone in the industry or just casual players.

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 3: Everyone like Russell Wilson, who last year was going inside

62
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: the top ten quarterbacks easily. Everyone was excited about his

63
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 3: move to Denver. Now after this a disaster season, He's

64
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: quarterback eighteen in ADP of one hundred and thirty two.

65
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: Which you know he finished his quarterback twenty five, so eighteen.

66
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: People do feel there's some optimism there.

67
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: But it was a disaster season all around. Nathaniel Hackett

68
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: was fired before the season ended in weeks one through

69
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: sixteen with Hackett as head coach, and I believe he

70
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: was calling the plays. He's essentially the offense. Yeah, he

71
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: went Nator too. Wilson had an eighteen percent play action

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: rate and was only outside of the pocket whether he

73
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: was rolling out or scrambling sixteen percent of the plays

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: in week seventeen through eighteen when he had really big games.

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: He did have good games down the way, like he could.

76
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: Have been a league winner if he started him in

77
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: week seventeen thirty four percent play action rate, twenty four

78
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: percent of his plays outside of the pocket. So the

79
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: offense got a lot more creative. Now is complete overhaul

80
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: with Sean Payton coming in Hiss head coach, offensive minded

81
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: Sean Payton, Tim Patrick back, healthy, Marvin Mims and intriguing

82
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: draft pick and wide receiver.

83
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: Of course, Jay Hammler might finally be healthy for a season.

84
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: Who knows.

85
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: Jerry Judy's in town. Of course, Courtland and Sutton still there.

86
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: Greg Dulcich showed some promise, So I don't know at

87
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: QB eighteen, if I'm just gonna, you know, stockpile two

88
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: or three quarterbacks, if I'm gonna sleep on quarterbacks weight

89
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 3: on quarterbacks late in the draft. Wilson is definitely one

90
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: of the guys that I think he's just going way

91
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 3: too cheap right now.

92
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: I should have picked a different quarterback in retrospect and

93
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: the guy picked because I think it's just too chalky.

94
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: And people already know this, but maybe it's just because

95
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: you and I keep talking about it. You kinda I

96
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: feel like I gotta go Gino Smith here.

97
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 3: No problems hammering this home because it's it picked.

98
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: One hundred and fifteen quarterback, fifteen off the board. He

99
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: finished his quarterback five last year.

100
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, total points. What the how?

101
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: Why is he following ten spots when they added the

102
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: best receiver in the rookie draft by the consensus of

103
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: like everybody, and he's sliding ten quarterback positions. It's so

104
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: absurd that Gino Smith is here. I mean, there's no

105
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: case to be made. But here's the thing that really

106
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: bothers me about Genoslide. Dude's legitimately good. This was no fluke.

107
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: We got a.

108
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: Seventeen game sample of this and he looked completely legit.

109
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: There wasn't like freak plays that propelled him to good

110
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: box scores. He didn't like have weird rushing touchdowns that

111
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: like artificially augmented his total. Not nothing like that. Gino

112
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: was just a really good passer and he did it

113
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: for virtually every game last year. Sneaky rushing competence, by

114
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: the way, twenty two rushing yards per game. That's two

115
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: point two fantasy points for free, and he only had

116
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: the one rushing touchdown last year. He could easily If

117
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: you're rushing for twenty two rushing yards a game at

118
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, I think more often than not you're

119
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna have four or five rushing touchdowns at the end

120
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: of the year. Those could become as well for sure

121
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: for Gino Smith. But the guy that I sort of

122
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: wish I had picked as a little somebody, it's a

123
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: little further off the radar as a cheap starter.

124
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: This year's Gino Smith. Sam Darnold, No, not that far

125
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: off radar.

126
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, Yeah, he was.

127
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: I almost used him as my guy.

128
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: Stafford I mean, you know, he was I think he

129
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: was quarterback nine when he went down with his injury

130
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: last year. And he gets Cooper cup back, and you know,

131
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: Sean mcvaye there knows obviously totally how to utilize him.

132
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just that was the other guy was

133
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: gonna use, but I didn't ultimately do it with Gino Smith.

134
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: You want to go running back next?

135
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 3: Sure?

136
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: Okay, who's your who is your cheap starting running back?

137
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: Currently going off the board as running back twenty six

138
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 3: seems a little too late for me in Richad White

139
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: of the Bucks as most No. With Leonard Fournette gone,

140
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: his only competition for touches as of right now are

141
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: Chase Edmonds, who's a non factor, and an undrafted free

142
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: age named Sean Tucker who I kind of like, but

143
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: again he's an undrafted free agent. So Rashad White has

144
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 3: a clear path to early down work and he's still

145
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: probably the best pass catcher on the team too. Yeah,

146
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: we might have a bell cow on our hands. Granted

147
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: it's not going to be a great offense in Tampa Bay,

148
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: but there is a new offensive coordinator, Dave Canals, I

149
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: believe is how it's pronounced. Expected to place a lot

150
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: more emphasis emphasis on the running game than former OC

151
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: Byron Leftwich did, and like I just said, a very

152
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: able pass catcher. Though White is caught fifty passes last year,

153
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 3: so he'll steal. Still see plenty of third down reps. Yeah,

154
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: I mean RB twenty six for I don't care what

155
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,119
Speaker 3: team you're playing for, if you're going to be playing

156
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: eighty ninety percent of the snaps right, probably not ninety,

157
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: but at seventy five to eighty.

158
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, verus shot White probably, and because he can pass catch,

159
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: that'll keep up. They're going to be in third and

160
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: long a lot that would have.

161
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: Been losing a lot lot, right, But he can stay

162
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:55,119
Speaker 3: on the field.

163
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: A running back who is losing for sure, My guy can't. Well,

164
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: maybe he can. You're Rashad White going off the board

165
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: is running back twenty six. I'm gonna give your running

166
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: back twenty seven makes sense. James Connor, Yep, he was

167
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: definitely on my list. Everybody rightfully, very worried about the

168
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Arizona offense well, and their defense too. Honestly, the whole

169
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: team I mean, Cardinals have are indisputably the NFL's worst

170
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: overall roster as far as I'm concerned. I was doing

171
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: an exercise for radio here in Minneapolis and Kfan talking

172
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: about the the best non quarterback on each team, who

173
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: is it? Even for the Cardinals.

174
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 4: It's like wah, but so yeah, it's it's it's it's

175
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 4: gotta be Hollywood, right Mark, Maybe maybe clear cut and no, no, anyway,

176
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 4: what the Cardinals do have is one of the few settled,

177
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: workhorse led running back situations.

178
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: James Connor, your new offensive coordinator is Drew Petsing. And

179
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: you might say, well, we don't know what Drew Petsing

180
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: is going to do, but I think we do. He

181
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: he has. He has been an an assistant under run

182
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: heavy coaches Kevin Stefanski will obviously utilized Nick Chubb Aton

183
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: and the run heavy Mike Zimmer with Dalvin Cook, so

184
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: everything in all of his spots stops before this have

185
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: trained Drew Petsing into a run first orientation and heavy workload.

186
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: Guys the top of the depth chart here for Arizona

187
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have anybody else who even deserves one carry. Corey

188
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: Clements still in the league. Apparently Keyanta Ingram had his

189
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: opportunity to look at anything other than awful last year

190
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: and didn't take it six round pick last season. So, yeah,

191
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are going to be losing by a lot

192
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: in some second halfs of games, but you're still going

193
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: to get fifteen ish touches.

194
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: A game out of James Connor least.

195
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: And you know, as we like to remind listeners, for

196
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: all of Kyler Murray's mobility, Brian, he's never been a

197
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: goal line guy. You know who is James Connor.

198
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

199
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: So if you think you think Arizona's gonna get a

200
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: meager touchdown total, let's say, on the season, like twelve

201
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, I don't know, eight nine, go to James

202
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: Connor sitting on a nice season at running back twenty seven.

203
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: Yeah he should be inside the top twenty four at least,

204
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: but yeah, even higher.

205
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: Not a special talent, but the volume, Yeah, the volumes there,

206
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: that's what we care about. Okay, let's go to the

207
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. Give me your cheap starter.

208
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: There are obviously a lot more wide receivers in fantasy

209
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: football than other positions, so there was a lot of

210
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 3: a lot of candidates here. So I kind of went

211
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 3: with the guy and talked about a ton this offseason.

212
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: But I've always liked him a lot. I didn't love

213
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 3: the landing spot in Las Vegas. But it's Jacoby Myers

214
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 3: who right now is like the ADP of one twenty

215
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: three wide receiver fifty seven. It just seems that seems

216
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: way too late for me. Again, I really finished last

217
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: year's like wide receiver twenty he did. Yeah, he only

218
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 3: played in thirteen games. I remember we got injured early

219
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: on against the Viking on Thanksgiving Night. It was on

220
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: his way to a good game there. But he had

221
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: a full season pace of eighty seven catches, one thousand

222
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: plus yards, eight touchdowns, good size, six ' two, soft hands,

223
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: caught nearly seventy percent of his targets. Last year he

224
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 3: was graded he would have had a better quarterback there.

225
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: Again, more than that.

226
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Patriots Jones was argued anybody the worst offense

227
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 3: to be on for a wide receiver in the history

228
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: of fantasy football, almost outside of two thousand and seven

229
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: Randy Moss. But Myers was graded the seventh highest wide

230
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: receiver by Pro Football Focus. He'll have an edge in

231
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 3: Vegas two. He'll be familiar with their offensive scheme. Mick

232
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: Lombardi served as the wide receiver coach in New England

233
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: from twenty twenty through twenty twenty one. He is now

234
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: the offensive coordinator, like it in Las Vegas, and of

235
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: course DeVante Adams is the wide receiver one there, but

236
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: he's gonna draw a ton of attention, double coverage. Who

237
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: knows what's going on with Hunter Renfro for now? I

238
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 3: guess it seems like he's staying in. Yeah, Buttill's be

239
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: running out of the slot per usual. They got a

240
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: rookie tight end. Now he was gonna get most of

241
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: the snaps. Michael Meyer and then Austin Hooper. They're no

242
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 3: Darren Waller, at least Meyer isn't yet. So I think

243
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: people are sleeping on Myers right now in PPR leagues.

244
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: I think he could finish inside the top thirty.

245
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on that. That seems very reasonable.

246
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo does not excite fantasy owners, but Mac Joe. Yeah,

247
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: but rather he's better.

248
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: Than Mac Jones. Yeah, and he's a He's a quarterback

249
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: that we kind of cater to Myers play. DeVante Adams

250
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: not so much now.

251
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: Adams is one of my big avoid guys this year.

252
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: It's funny you gave wide receiver fifty seven. I'm giving

253
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver fifty eight. We didn't plan this, No, it's

254
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: how it's worked out for both running back and wide receiver.

255
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: Houston wide receiver Nico Collins. This is a long time

256
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: me and Scott Fish have been waiting for our opportunity

257
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: and it's finally here. So he's entering his third year.

258
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: He is now the Texas undisputed number one wide receiver.

259
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: Nico Collins shown steady improvement over years one and two,

260
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: and I get the feeling it's all going to come

261
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: together right here. Late last year after remember when Brandon

262
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: Cooks got hurt and then he like basically refused to play. Yeah,

263
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: Collins had a chance before he got hurt. At the

264
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: end of the year, he had a chance to be

265
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: the Texans primary wide out in four games. In those

266
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: four games, he averaged nine targets per game. Wait, wait

267
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: nine times there it is five receptions.

268
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: No off season for Principal Mooney.

269
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: No, well, nine time. I think he's out of jail,

270
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: which is pretty important. Five receptions, forty five yards and

271
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: half a touchdown per game. And that was with Davis

272
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: Mills and Kyle Allen and Jeff Triskoll. Remember they were

273
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: mixing and matching quarterbacks for a while then Nico Collins

274
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: was in the middle of that bit. To give you

275
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: a sense of fantasy wise, what Collins did in those

276
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: four games, he gave you the same fantasy output as t.

277
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: Higgins on the season to put a name on nine targets,

278
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: five receptions, forty five yards and half a touchdown per game.

279
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: So while it's super dangerous to extrapolate four games into

280
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: seventeen games, you should know that it's fun.

281
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: Though.

282
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: It is fun, isn't it. As the Texans go too

283
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: wide out For those four games, he was on pace

284
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty three targets, eight hundred yards,

285
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: and eight and a half touchdowns. Now they've changed coaching

286
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: staffs and blah blah blah and other things. But here's

287
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: the important thing. Nico Collins gets better in his third year,

288
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: and CJ. Stroud's going to be a huge and potentially

289
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: huge upgrade of quarterback even in his rookie year over

290
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: what Davis Mills and Kyle Allen and Jeffers Skulkuld bring

291
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: to the table. Nico Collins cheap starter. Let's take a break.

292
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: When we come back let's talk about our cheap tight

293
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: ends and our cheap flex players when we come back.

294
00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: Get stay tuned, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charging

295
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson with you. We're going through our cheap starters.

296
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: These are a team's unquestionable starting player, but his ADP,

297
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, is strangely low. And we think you're

298
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: gonna get You're gonna get valuable reps and opportunities out

299
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: of these guys who've already given you quarterbacks, running back

300
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: to wide receivers. Let's go to the always mercurial tight

301
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: end position. Brian, who you got?

302
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: I'm going. I feel like I shouldn't be going this deep,

303
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: but based on his ADP, it is deep because he's

304
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: going off the board is tight end eighteen. No, we're

305
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: not going Dan Arnold.

306
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: That's the perfect smot for Dan Arnold.

307
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: I will be drafted in the scott Fish Bowl. He's

308
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: on the Eagles.

309
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: He's on the Eagles. Okay, got it.

310
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: One one misstep by Dallas Goddard.

311
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: That's it's easy. Yeah, dan Arnold season baby, but last

312
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: year he was it was one misstep for Evan Ingram, right.

313
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know he would have done what Evan

314
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: Ingram did. If they didn't sign Evan, it might have

315
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: been better. Arnold hasn't just had his chance, but it

316
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 3: will not none of the fourteen. But we're talking Gerald

317
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: Everett here.

318
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, the fantasy experts are all over Gerald.

319
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: Ever, it was just an underachieving offense overall for the

320
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: Chargers last year, but Everett had career highs and targets,

321
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: receptions and receiving yards if you forgot in the playoffs

322
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: sense of the Jaguars. The Chargers lost, but Everett went

323
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: off six catches, one hundred and nine yards and a touchdown,

324
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: And I just think that's scratching. You know, the career highs.

325
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: They weren't eye popping numbers, but it was his best

326
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 3: year as a pro. But I think that's just scratching

327
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: the surface of what ever it can do in this

328
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: revamped offense that again underachieved last year. But now they

329
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: have new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, come over from the

330
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: Cowboys who let him go because he was scoring too

331
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 3: fast whatever, but a prize acquisition for their coaching staff,

332
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: that offensive coordinator, and last year Everett didn't see a

333
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: ton of volume. But I think we've seen an uptick

334
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: in it. I know we all kind of like Donald Parham,

335
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: but they do.

336
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: But I can only wait so long for him to

337
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 1: stay healthy and put it all together, and maybe it's

338
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen.

339
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 3: And then there's there's Trey McKitty too, But man, Everett

340
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 3: really flashed at times last year. One of nine tight

341
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: ends with three hundred plus yards after the catch.

342
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's really good that way.

343
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 3: He was one of eight tight ends with at least

344
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 3: one hundred yards after contact. So he's kind of a

345
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 3: beast too. He's mobile, He's a beast. So I don't know.

346
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 3: Tight End eighteen, if you know the cards fall in

347
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: its favor, he could. I don't see. It's not too

348
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 3: far fetched. He finishes as a top ten tight end

349
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 3: this year in that often.

350
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: Ye, it's possible. So everyone think Justin Herbert's gonna bounce

351
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: back healthy. Played last year on the broken sternum and

352
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: the shoulder injury that needed surgery after the season. Everybody

353
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: thinks Herbert's sitting out a much better year this year.

354
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: I've been reaching everybody gets better.

355
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 3: I've been reaching around on Everett many times, and if

356
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: I'm doing the Chargers stack I've been reaching two rounds

357
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 3: just to ensure I get ever it makes sense heir

358
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 3: with Herbert and Friends. Oh yeah, I love Effett right

359
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: now and I hope I continue to love him throughout

360
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 3: the year.

361
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm going with the aforementioned Evan Ingram, who finished last

362
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: year's tight End six going off the board at pick

363
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: one hundred, and there aren't that many good tight ends

364
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: to go around. Why are people waiting on a good

365
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: tight end? I assume that people think he's not gonna

366
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: do tight End six again because Calvin Ridley's back, you know,

367
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: and maybe that Ridley's going to siphon off some reception.

368
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 3: Thing is the price tag on Ingram was what it

369
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: is on Everett right now right last year? That much people,

370
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 3: you know, they pump the brakes a little bit. That's

371
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: probably a factor too.

372
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: But even if Ridley's great, I'm just as you know,

373
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: because you've been on the show for a long time

374
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: and our listeners have been listening this long time. I

375
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: just think, you know, rising tides raise all ships, and

376
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: I think Ridley just makes the whole offense better, gives

377
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: everybody more opportunities, including Ingram. Now he's under the franchise

378
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: tag this year. He will not get the franchise tag

379
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: again next year. And because you got to pay like

380
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: a I don't know, like a fifty percent bump or

381
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: something in year two. Right, So it's a contract year

382
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: for Ingram.

383
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: We like that. No thread of Dan Arnold, right, I mean.

384
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: The constant thread of Darnauto is not there anymore. They

385
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: drafted Strange, Yeah, Brent Strange Range, right, But he's uh,

386
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: but he is. He's viewed as a long term project.

387
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: So not not it can to be a factor this

388
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: year now, So Trevor Lawrence, now year two of competent coaching.

389
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna throw out the year one. This is effectively

390
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: his sophomore year. Lawrence gets even better. Doug Peterson's gonna

391
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: trust Trevor Lawrence to pass even more than he did

392
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: last year. They were the twelfth highest pass rate last year.

393
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: They could be the They could be a top five

394
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: pass rate this year. Peterson's always loved his tight ends too.

395
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: You know, he used Dallas Goddard with great results. He's

396
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, this is his new Dallas Goddard. It's

397
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram. And by the way, both of those guys

398
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: that looked up there how often they were standing in

399
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: the slot to just see is the usage really the

400
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: same under under Doug Peterson forty four percent for Goddard

401
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: and Ingram standing in the slot as a receivers.

402
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: Who was, of course Zach was in Philly with Peterson,

403
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: but who was the one tight end who had the

404
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 3: pretty good year with Eagles and then he got a

405
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 3: big contract like with the Bears, and then it turned

406
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 3: out to be nobody. Oh this is gonna bother me.

407
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 3: This is recently, you know, this is the last four

408
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 3: or five years. I know, you know what I'm thinking of.

409
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: God, I don't remember, and I can't. It didn't happen.

410
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: Last thing I'll mention about Ingram targeted one hundred and

411
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: fourteen times last year. I mean that's you know, that's

412
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: the kind of volume you want. It's hard to go

413
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: wrong with the tight end who's seeing the ball one

414
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen times come their way. That was fourth

415
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: most among all tight ends. And if you're gonna get

416
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: that kind of use in your Doug Peterson offense, evan

417
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: Ingram very safe. And I think that's a cheap starter

418
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: compared to where he's being drafted.

419
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: And he got hot at the right time to last

420
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 3: year he got hot towards the tail end of the season.

421
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we always like that too, as an added bonus.

422
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't always mean it's gonna carry over, but I'd

423
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 1: rather have somebody who rolls into the season coming off

424
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: big game games in December. All right, let's go to

425
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: your flex player. I told I set this up and

426
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: just said, give me one other guy at any position

427
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: that you think is a good cheap starter. Whould you pick?

428
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: All right? I strayed from the running back. I did

429
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 3: a lot of running backs today, so I went with

430
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: a wide receiver who the delta between this guy and

431
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 3: his You know, the next spester receiver on the team

432
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 3: is his co starter or everyone to put it is

433
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty plus fix geez, okay, it's Van Jefferson.

434
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: And of course I'm talking about Cooper Cup his playing

435
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 3: partner of a Van Jefferson going off the board. His

436
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 3: wide receiver sixty two, one hundred and fortieth overall pick

437
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: didn't play until Week eight. Last year started the season

438
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 3: on the pup list or I already had a knee issue,

439
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: but by the time he came in the Rams, Stafford

440
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: was out and that Cup was hurt. And again Cooper

441
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 3: Cup being hurt does not help Van Jefferson.

442
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: Van jos on the.

443
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 3: Field right to take a lot of the attention off

444
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: of him. But Jefferson performed pretty well under the circumstances

445
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 3: you know they had. They were starting Baker Mayfield, John Woolford,

446
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: and he was essentially the wide receiver one. But he

447
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 3: recorded at least sixty yards or scored a touchdown in

448
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: more than half of his games played. I know you

449
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 3: don't think much of Alan Robinson. I like a little more,

450
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 3: but he's not in LA anymore. There's really not a

451
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 3: ton of competition for targets at the wide receiver position.

452
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: That's fire Cooper Cup of course, So I don't know.

453
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: Van Jefferson has some big plays. I've been watching with

454
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield, some long touchdowns. I mean, he he was

455
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 3: the third round pick not long ago, so they put

456
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 3: some you know, sunk some equity into him. So I

457
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: think at this price tag, he's gonna be on the

458
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 3: field for ninety the snaps and in a offense is

459
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 3: gonna throw a lot one thing. So I don't mind

460
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 3: kicking the tires on Van Jefferson. This league in the draft.

461
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: All right, my flex cheap starter Washington.

462
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 3: Sorry, Trey Burton was the Tray Burton nicely done, yeah,

463
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 3: even under but when he left the Eagles, nobody career

464
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 3: was like over.

465
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: It was the Bears have a lot of historic sign

466
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: like that. My flex cheap starter is Washington running back

467
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson going off the board at pick one hundred

468
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: and thirteen. Now, I wasn't very impressed with Robinson's rookie year,

469
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: but as we mentioned at the outset, opportunity way more

470
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: important than talent when it comes to fantasy football production,

471
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: and the opportunity is going to be there.

472
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: And he was also coming off a gun shot.

473
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: Coming off a gunshot wound, you know. And I'll give him,

474
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, he missed a bunch of training camp. I'm

475
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: gonna give him some maybe all I don't remember exactly

476
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: when the gunshot happened in the middle of this. But

477
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: last year, by the way, just to give you a

478
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: sense of it, wasn't great. Twenty fourth ranked runner by

479
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, just three point nine yards per carry.

480
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: He was twenty eighth in yards over expectation and fifty

481
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: first in yards after contact per carry. So it was

482
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: not great last year. But here's the reasons for optimism

483
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: on Brian Robinson. He's got room to improve, right, So

484
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: the rookie year with the gunshot and everything else, now

485
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: he's a sophomore. Most players get better in year number two,

486
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: his first full training camp that he's gonna have. I

487
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: like that part. New offensive coordinator Eric Benemy should be

488
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: a huge upgrade and he could usher in a lot

489
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: of improvement for Robinson. Better coaching, better play for Robinson,

490
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: and almost certainly better schemes for Robinson than what they

491
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: had last year coming from Eric Benemy. And there's a

492
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: lot of talk of Antonio Gibson getting converted into a

493
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: pure pass catching running back and that if that happens,

494
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: now Robinson is good for volume and the goal line

495
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: carries he was already getting. So I like that idea

496
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: that if Eric b Enemy's gonna convert Antonio Gibson into

497
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: his new version of Jeric McKinnon, then Robinson could be

498
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy carries this year. I mean, he'd

499
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: be like top easily top ten in total carries.

500
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: He's got to avoid the landmine of a I know

501
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: there's been whispers that the commanders could be one of

502
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: the teams that like Fournett or Kareem Hunts goes to.

503
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: I'm so I did, but that's every day. There's some

504
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: new connection on those guys. But yeah, I mean if

505
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: that would look if that happens, then all bets are off.

506
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this is all about volume. It's all about

507
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: volume for Brian Robinson, and at two hundred and seventy carries,

508
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: you kind of can't go wrong at pick one hundred

509
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: and thirteen.

510
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 3: Of your draft.

511
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 1: No, I'll take that all day, every day. All right,

512
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: there's a cheap starters, Brian, all right, sons of fun.

513
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: When uh, next week, we'll be back with more Fantasy

518
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: know how guillotine lead leagues work already, and no time

519
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: like the president to jump into a league and take

520
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: advantage of the other people that are drafting early. But
