Speaker 1: of great stuff to get to as we near the

15
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. We're going to highlight the training

16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: camp battle resolutions that we highlight at the beginning of

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: the year. We went through all the NFL teams and said,

18
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: here's the training camp battles we're watching. Now we're gonna

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: tell you who one of them all. We'll do that.

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: We will go through three cuffed tough questions as we

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: always do. We'll tell you the one thing you need

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: to know about every team based on the entire preseason.

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: If there was one thing that you needed to know

24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: from all thirty two teams, here's the one thing you

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: needed to take away from the preseason. Perfect for those

26
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: of you that haven't been following closely and now you

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: want a quick catch up on what's happened with each

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: of the teams, we'll do that as well. Identify guys

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: that we think you should trade for in October, not now,

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: guys that were worried about now, but we think by

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: the time October rolls around some players you'll want to

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: identify put on your radar now. Will will break down

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game and release our final sleepers of

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: the year. In other words, guys don't want to draft

35
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: this weekend ye and trade for them. It's very actionable

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: in that way. Do not not gonna want to draft

37
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,639
Speaker 1: these guys based on their ADP correct. As we start

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: every show, we go through and highlight some of the

39
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: keen news items from the past week that fantasy players

40
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: care about and has established last week. We lead every

41
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: show with any available good news about Zach Moss Okay

42
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: and that's how I want to start. The Buffalo is

43
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: not even my team. I don't care. The most important

44
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: thing is uh, fumbling could cost Devin Singletary the I

45
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: think that role has already been costed. But uh, and

46
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: yeah already. Zack moss expect expected to be heavily involved

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: in the in the past game. He's a five tool back,

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: runs through you, around you, around the tree like there

49
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: is legit bell cow potential out of the gates, Zach Mossy.

50
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of when, Aby Zac Moss Let's

51
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: let's go to some of the other teams from around

52
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: the league, including the Panthers. Matt pretty quiet in Carolina,

53
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: although Ian Thomas is day to day with a toe injury,

54
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: and that could be an issue if you planned on

55
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: starting him Week one against the Raiders. But I don't

56
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are planning on starting Ian

57
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: Thomas and he's going to be your bye week filling guy.

58
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: I think, Brian, let's go to the Raiders. Uh. Tyrell

59
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: Williams placed on injured reserve with a torn labor and

60
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: he's done for the year. But they still have about

61
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: seven or eight wide receivers on roster. We'll talk about

62
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: them the Raiders more later. Ye off the Packers. Green

63
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: Bay media expects Robert Tonyan to open the season as

64
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: the team's starting tight end. He's a former wide receiver

65
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: with lots of room to grow, but I think he's

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: way off the fantasy radar until he proves himself to

67
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: be a meaningful part of this offense. It's been a

68
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: long time since we've had a Green Bay Packer tight

69
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: end as a material fantasy producer, not Aaron Rodgers career, right,

70
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: like we gotta go, like to bark Chimurra, it's been

71
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: It's been along the Brett fire vera for sure, I think.

72
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: So let's go to the Washington football team at Uh.

73
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: They happened to release this running back this morning. His

74
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: name was Adrian Peterson. Uh. We'll dig into that positional

75
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: battle in a few minutes. Though it sounds good, Uh,

76
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: Brian the Cleveland Browns for Shard Higgins looks locked into

77
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: the number three role at wide receiver for Cleveland. Cleveland

78
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: now has a cornerback, Greedy Williams, nursing a shoulder injury.

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: They already lost second round pick Grant Delpit, who's a

80
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: safety for the season, but they acquired, excuse me, from Jacksonville.

81
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: I don't know how Jacksonville has players left to trade,

82
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: uh safety Ronnie Harrison, but that that secondary is a

83
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: little dinged up for Cleveland makes that's interesting from a

84
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective. There it's gonna be some Cleveland shootouts come.

85
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk more about the Browns as well, and

86
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: funny things. I'm gonna highlight a few players on Jacksonville

87
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: who are still going to be traded. I think later

88
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: in the show they might go Dolphins on this season.

89
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: They are for sure. The Texans are next. Houston media

90
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: gushing over tight and Jordan Aikin's calling him quote the

91
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: most improved veteran. He'll need to overcome Darren Fells, who

92
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: the team liked enough to resign in the off season.

93
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: Aikin's believed to be the better receiver, but Fells had

94
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns last year, all from the red zone. Let's

95
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: go to Tampa Bay, Matt Well. There are also a

96
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: few running back moves this week, but Brian's going to

97
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: talk about that next segment. Also, we have a kicker winner,

98
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: we do. Ryan suck Up won the kicking job in

99
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: Tampa and should likely be treated as a top five

100
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: kicker for all of you in kicker leagues, yes, of

101
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: which there's dwindling numbers and kicker leagues, but the Tampa

102
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: Bay kicker is a primo spot to be about how

103
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: many times you swing the leg, not how good a

104
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: kicker you actually are. Let's go to Brian and the

105
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: New York Jets UH Jets second round UH pick. Wide

106
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: receiver Denzel Mims, with a hamstring injury, finally returned to

107
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday. It was the first time he had

108
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: practiced in training. Camp started. But he's really not going

109
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: to be too relevant in redraft leagues, No, not for

110
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: a while anyo. It's an unfortunate start to his career

111
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: for the coal It's one of my favorite sleepers. Paris

112
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: Campbell returned to practice from his concussion. He'll be in

113
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: the starting lineup Week one against the Jaguars, and I

114
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: will tell you right now he is going to be

115
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: my premature speculation player in next week's show. Okay, Paris Campbell,

116
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: as he is going to be facing off against the

117
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense. Let's go to the Detroit Lions. Mann DeAndre

118
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: Swift still limited and practiced with a leg injury, has

119
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: not practiced in full for over a week. That has

120
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: to put his Week one status in a little bit

121
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: of doubt. It does, unfortunately, Um and many of us

122
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: optimistic that he's going to quickly become the starter there,

123
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: but probably not in Week one. Don't know what it

124
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: is about Detroit running backs and injuries. Holy cow, Broncos

125
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: Brian another rookie wide receiver with intriguing long term potential.

126
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: kJ Hamler could potentially start the year on injured reserve

127
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: as well for Denver So a slight bump for Jerry

128
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: Judy in Courtland Sutton. You know, guys, I was gonna

129
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: mention this later in the show, and we haven't really

130
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: talked about injured reserve this year, but the NFL changed

131
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: all the rules on injured reserve. You only have to

132
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: be on I R for three weeks and they have

133
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: unlimited spots coming back this year. So I are way

134
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: different than than years past, and you can treat it

135
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: as such, especially if you have I OUR designations in

136
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: your league. It's a great point. In many leagues there there,

137
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: the rule is once a player goes on I R,

138
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't come off I ARE because the player doesn't

139
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: come off I are, but they we need to be

140
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: able to account for that in every fantasy league. Great

141
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: point Vikings starting left tackle Riley Reef took a pay

142
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: cut and we'll stay with the team. This is fantasy

143
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: relevant because at one point we thought it was gonna leave,

144
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: and it would have shuffled the deck on that offensive

145
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: line in a variety of horrifying ways. And so I

146
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 1: think this can have a variety of horrifying Well, yeah,

147
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: you're starting right tackle was really good? Was gonna have

148
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,559
Speaker 1: to go to left tackle? We had never played before,

149
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: and potentially a guy who's never played right tackle and

150
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: had to start there, it would have been bad. So

151
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: I think this helps salvage some normalcy for Dalvin Cook

152
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: and the rest of that offense. Let's go to the

153
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. Matt Josh Gordon signed with Seattle again. Now

154
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: he has not been cleared to play by the NFL.

155
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,119
Speaker 1: Are we sure he makes the team? By the way,

156
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: Metcalfine Lockett are clearly ahead of him on the depth chart,

157
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: but also David Moore, Philip Dorset, and the recently signed

158
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: Paul Richardson, who's an old Seattle favorite, are all there.

159
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: And Gordon scored one touchdown through eleven games last year.

160
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: Don't take Josh Gordon, Guys, don't take him. The people

161
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: still I keep thinking the people that are reliving are

162
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: now so old that they're dying, and it wouldn't be

163
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: drafting him anymore, and remembering the good old days of

164
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: that one good year that he had. Man give it

165
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: up on that guy Bryant. Let's go to the Dolphins.

166
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: Let's have a pity party for Miami really quick. They

167
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: managed to trade klin Blage to the Jets for more

168
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: than a sandwich, and he fails the physical and is

169
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: reverted back to Miami. I'm pretty sure his key card

170
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: didn't work upon his return. But about how the Dolphins

171
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: Right now. For the Saints, Alvin Cameric continues to practice

172
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: as the team works on a new deal for him.

173
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: It sounds like something will probably get done here. Uh

174
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: and Camara says he's not planning to hold out anyway.

175
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: But more importantly, guys, and nobody's talking about this, Why

176
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: did Alvin Camara have to get a cortisone shot a

177
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: few days ago? Well, what's happened in this long offseason? Right?

178
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: So you miss it? You know last year you play

179
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: through all of these injuries and not love him for

180
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: playing through the injuries. Has this has a very disappointing season.

181
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: He rolls in Now it's eight months later, coming off

182
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: of training camp with no contact, and he's already getting

183
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: cortizone shots. Why sounds Todd Gurley. I don't like this.

184
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling Camara concerned. I'm more concerned about that than

185
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: I am about the contract. Yeah, something something that bears monitoring.

186
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Philadelphia Eagles. Matt Briefly, Miles Sanders

187
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: supposedly on track for week one. That's a good thing.

188
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: Let's hope it holds that one. Brian Patriots. Big news.

189
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: Damien Harris, who was looking to take the lead rollback

190
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: for New England UH could miss the first couple of

191
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: weeks with with a hand injury, had surgery on his

192
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: pinky fingers. So again that backfield is now we're looking

193
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: at Sony Michelle, Rex burkhead my boy, Lamar Miller. But

194
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: that's that's big news for Damien Harris. He's not gonna

195
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: play the first week, probably not the second week either.

196
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: Somehow you are under the delusion Lamar Miller is not

197
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: gonna be cut. That's the that's the impressive part of that.

198
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: I think, well, he's no Adrian Peterson Steelers. I've got

199
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: three nuggets from local reporters. First, Benny Snell locked in

200
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: is the number two running back. We'll talk more about

201
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: him later in the show. Number two. After a moribun

202
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: training camp, Juju Smith Schuster finally popped in practice this

203
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: week on Monday. It was the first time he looked

204
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: anywhere near his his form from and number three. Eric

205
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: Ebron has been impressing. He's been out running linebackers and

206
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: safety is getting open, and it looks like Eric Ebron

207
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: is going to be a factor in this offense. Ibronic Tron,

208
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm so surprised that you're talking about Eric Ebron in

209
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: positive ways. Let's go to the Cowboys. Mattmark Cooper has

210
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: been either a limited or non participant in practice for

211
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: four straight days. Mysterious that is. We'll watch if that

212
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: gives Ceedee Lamb some extra reps. Are all for it.

213
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't wish energy, I don't want I don't want

214
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: wish injury on anybody, but a Mark Cooper is not

215
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: on any of your teams. Cede Lamb is that's exactly right, Brian.

216
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Tennessee Titans. Really nothing for Tennessee.

217
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: But I failed to mention that Patriots did cut Mohammed sannws.

218
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: So if you're in the league where you get mega

219
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: bonus points for wide receivers throwing touchdown passes, that's very,

220
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: very wide receiver touchdown pass. All right. Moving on the

221
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: forty nine tons of injuries to update Deebo. Samuel it's

222
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: got a chance of playing in Week one with his

223
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: foot injury. It appears he's trending positively, although you always

224
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: have to be careful with foot injuries for wide receivers.

225
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: It's never safe. And Brandon Iok, recovering from a hamstring injury,

226
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: also trending towards availability for Week one, but both could

227
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: be on a pitch count here. We don't know for

228
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: sure what the status of either of those guys is

229
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: quite yet. Yeah, those are your two starters if healthy,

230
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: Samuel and ayuk Um. Of note, though Jordan Reed and

231
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: his eight concussions now in San Francisco and lots of

232
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: talk that he would play a role if Samuel or

233
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: Ayu couldn't go, they would stand him up in the

234
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: slot and they would actually stand him up. He's lying

235
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: down a lever and police system. The Giants. Matt Golden

236
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: day to day with a hamstring strain. It's notable that

237
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: he usually plays through minor injuries, but keep an eye

238
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: on his Week one status. All right, Brian Bengals A J.

239
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: Green limited in practice this week. It's already started. You

240
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: know the people that I hope, the people that took

241
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: a chance on A J. Green get rewarded. It's not

242
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: me in any league, but it's me. I hope it's

243
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: you guys. Yeah, I hope it ends up working out

244
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed what Beat

245
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: writers have been saying for weeks. Rookie running back j K.

246
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: Dobbins will play a major role in the offense. His

247
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: skill set has been eye popping in training camp and

248
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: to get some confirmation from John Harbaugh like we did

249
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: this week, very promising, Matt. Let's go to the Falcons.

250
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: Brian Hill has solidified the backup role to Todd Gurley.

251
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: He's probably one of the top handcuffs to own this season.

252
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: There's not a lot, but I think Brian Hill and

253
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley are one of them, Thank you, Right, Brian,

254
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, um they released Leonard four Nette. I'm not

255
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: sure if you heard about that or not. Thanks, and

256
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about the remaining backfield in Jacksonville a

257
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: little later. Let's go to the Cardinals. Matt Cardinals, sounds

258
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: like they are being cautious with both Kenyan Drake and

259
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Both are very near a return to full practice,

260
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: and I expect both the suit up in week one, alright,

261
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: And Brian, the Chargers, Mike Williams should be ready to

262
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: play in Week one with his shoulder injury, according to

263
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: UM offensive coordinator Shane Staken, and the Chargers also placed

264
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: safety Derwin James, one of the best safeties in football,

265
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: on I R this time ending. Yeah, this is he's

266
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: done done so, which is a boon for the offense

267
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: though there do you mean give it up more points

268
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: in l a uh, this is not technically news from

269
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: Green Bay, but let me mention this. I think I've

270
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: got a new brilliant nickname for A J. Dillon. You

271
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: guys remember the Nigerian Nightmare. Christian A J. Dillon built

272
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: like Christian Nikoya, the Siberian Nightmare. He's gotta breakback Green Bay.

273
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: It's perfect Russian, the Siberian. I love it. You know,

274
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: the padded neck roll. Yeah, he has got to break Oh,

275
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: I got to bring that would be beautiful. That would

276
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: be beautiful. He's gotta wear number thirty five as well,

277
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: obviously now would help. Um, you know what else will

278
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: be beautiful and we'll be beautiful. Training camp Battle Resolutions

279
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: will tell you who won every meaningful training camp battle

280
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: across the NFL when we return to Fantasy Football Weekly,

281
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: bom B Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchy and

282
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson with you. The training camp

283
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: battles that we highlighted in the very first preseason show

284
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: back in early August. Now they've all come to fruition.

285
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: We will tell you who has won each of the

286
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: key battles that we talked about back then. Here we

287
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: are five six weeks later. We begin with the Buffalo

288
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: Bills running back situation. Would we begin with that? Why

289
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: of all of them? Why that would you ask? Maybe

290
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: it's alphabetical, it might be um so it's Devin Singletary,

291
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: and it's Zack Moss and the question marks that surround

292
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: Singletary are ball security, which Brian mentioned he fumbled twice

293
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: in contact scrimmages had some fumbling issues in the past.

294
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: Um Also, his ability to pick up the blitz has

295
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: been called into question, plus his size and durability. None

296
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: of those. None of those seemed to be in question

297
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: with Zach Moss right now, who seems to have the

298
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: goal line job back locked up in between the twenties,

299
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: I think Singletary is still the guy for the most

300
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: part right now, so this isn't over. I think from

301
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: what I've read from the Buffalo Bills beat reporters, Singletary

302
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: still won the first shot at the starting gig. But

303
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: in fantasy, I'm taking Zack Moss because he's gonna get

304
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: the goal line work, and I'm taking him above Devin

305
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: Singletary right now. So from a fantasy perspective, I think

306
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: Moss won it, and I think he will continue to

307
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: win it as the season goes on. Throw in the

308
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: damn towel, it's over. I think he's gonna be a

309
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: big part of that offense. Now, he'll be a part

310
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: of the offense, but I believe by mid October your

311
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: your primary lead back will be Zack Moss Singletary will

312
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: be a change of pace. Guy. I really hope that's

313
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: the case, but it just feels like it's going to

314
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: be a sixty forty split all year, and we're gonna

315
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: be we're gonna be uncomfortable with the way and and

316
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: you're gonna be saying in mid October, why aren't you

317
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: get exact boss the ball more? It could be, but

318
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: if he's getting the goal line carries and I won't

319
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: need to say that. All right, let's go to the

320
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay running back situation, Brian, which we were watching

321
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: for different guys back when we first started talking about

322
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: this in August. Yeah, this is just as we left

323
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: it in early August. But it was Ronald Jones, Russ

324
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: Keyshawn Vaughan and and then Shady McCoy was just signed

325
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: out of nowhere back in those days. But now obviously

326
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nett is in to and uh but Bruce

327
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: Arians going to bat for Ronald Jones. It's his job

328
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: somehow acquiring Oh, I know, Andre Ellington was the guy,

329
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: and there's been so many guys, but Bruce Ellen or

330
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians is the classic Rick Roll coach. He's all

331
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna give you up over and over on

332
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: his running backs. But dare Ogunbowally cut on Friday? By

333
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: the way, New Orleans Saints signed him right now for

334
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: various reasons. I would say it would be a great

335
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: place for og. But right now we're looking at up

336
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: now Leonard Purnette, Ronald Jones, and Keyshawn Vaughn and Lashawn McCoy,

337
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: who was supposedly give me the past catching back in

338
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: the mix now that Ogunbawally is gone, But right now

339
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: it's Ronald Jones. But this is we gotta see what

340
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: have how his place out. That's all. Like I I

341
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: wish I had more answers. Don't you just want to

342
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: see Jones start. Will will be the Week one starter.

343
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: He will have the first chance to cement the job.

344
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: Whether he's actually better than Leonard four Nette is up

345
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: for debate, and you know, I think both guys are

346
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: just fair. Once that resonates with me with Keyshawn Vaughan,

347
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: who we you know he was going in the first

348
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: round of rookie drafts. But I remember seeing uh Vanderbilt

349
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: is where he played college football. The worst run blocking

350
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: line according to Football Profitable Provoball Focus and UH he

351
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: had over a thousand yards and under two hundred carries,

352
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: which is almost unfathomable behind an awful line. So I

353
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: can't wait to see who Tom Brady thinks is the

354
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: starting running back. That's what I want to know, whoever

355
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: doesn't get him killed, because both for Net and Ronald

356
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: Jones are terrible in past protection. So you know that

357
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: might be an X factor here to watch as well.

358
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: And we'll talk a little bit more about that situation

359
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: a little later in the show. Cincinnati, Let's go to

360
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: the wide receiver jobs there because it is a deep

361
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: deep bench. Yeah, Audent Tee Higgins, John Ross kind of

362
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: all up for the wide receiver three job there, and

363
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: Brian mentioned A J. Green is already injured and dealing

364
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: with stuff, so this could be the wide receiver to position.

365
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: So T Higgins also dealing with a hamstring injury for

366
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 1: a few weeks. John Ross is not in camp due

367
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: to some personal stuff and according to Bengals beat reporter

368
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: J Morrison, Mike Thomas, Yes that Mike Thomas, other Toms,

369
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: the one from the Los Angeles Rams for the last

370
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: four years. He's the guy leading the depth chart over

371
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: Audentate what so I don't know. You want to know

372
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: why where did head coach Zach Taylor come from? He

373
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: came from Los Angeles and the Rams. So Mike Thomas

374
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: right now leading the depth chart there. But you know

375
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: what after Tyler Boyden, AJ Green, I'm avoiding it all.

376
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: I think you're right about that. Let's go to the

377
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: what remains of the Washington running back situation? Brian Oh,

378
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 1: the same situation as in early August. Right, Darius guys? Right,

379
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: how do you get all of these various guys? We

380
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: will never mention him ever again after this on the show.

381
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: He's clearly removed himself from consideration for this job. Adrian

382
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: Peterson no longer on the team, although he could come back.

383
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: This is a could be like a savvy. It would

384
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: be rare that Washington team does something savvy out of

385
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: their front office. But they can somehow save money by

386
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 1: cutting Peter. How they they've cut Peterson and they can

387
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: still bring him back. But we'll see what happens. But

388
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: it's looking like Antonio Gibson is the guy. I think no,

389
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: I think he is the guy. If you don't know

390
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: about Antonio Gibson out in Memphis, he is basically a

391
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: hybrid player. He was. He used primarily at wide receiver.

392
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: I had thirty eight receptions for seven thirty five yards

393
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: and eight touchdowns. Then mid season they moved him to

394
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: running back. Had thirty three carries for three sixty nine

395
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns. He's also a hell of a

396
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: kick returner, average twenty yards. He's a little tall for

397
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: running back, you know, six ft six um here's and

398
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: this is a key difference between him and other of

399
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: these sort of jack knife do it all guys like

400
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: Cordelle Patterson is an example. This guy's big, he's physical,

401
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: He's six ft who twenty. That's a key difference and

402
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: why I think he could make the transition to running back.

403
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: It's I think he's going to have the stamina and

404
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: durability to do it and do it's electric and Tonio

405
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: Gibson is bonkers in space. He's gonna be taking hits

406
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: like he's never taken before. Though in the NFL, that's

407
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: every that's every rookie that is it is. But he's

408
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: just not built like your stereotypical running back. But we'll

409
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: see how he does. Of course, Barber is built like

410
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: a running back, and that's why I like him. By

411
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: by week two of the NFL season, he'll have more

412
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: carries in the NFL than he will in his entire

413
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: college career. That's a bit of a concern that ever,

414
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: he's never been asked to be a work horse. I

415
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: have to mention sorry, Bryce Love really quick also in

416
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: consideration for some carries. Fourth round rookie of Stanford last

417
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: year and Peyton Barber still hanging around. It sounds Peyton

418
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: Barber is running with the ones when Gibson's not based

419
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: on eight like ad pe If I'm drafting right now,

420
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber's I'm just gonna take in the last round.

421
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: He could be the goal. Very boring, very boring, but

422
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: probably the most reliable hight. Let's go to the Denver

423
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: Broncos in the running back situation. Yeah, Melvin Gordon, Philip Lindsay.

424
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: It's considering that most thought that this would be like

425
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: a seventy thirty split in Gordon's direction as soon as

426
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: they signed him. Now it seems like head coach Vic

427
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: Fangio is backing off of that, talking about no starting

428
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: running back and a complete time share. So I guess

429
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: that means the winner is Philip Lindsay but all of

430
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: us are really losers in this situation. Uh Worth, noting

431
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: that Royce Freeman took most of Gordon's snaps in camp

432
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 1: as Gordon was dealing with an injury to his ribs.

433
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: So Royce uh put down the piano. Freeman dropped the

434
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: drop the piano Freeman to him. He's still in play

435
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: too in that running back committee. Um, there is a

436
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: There is a a media note hit on Friday suggesting

437
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: that the team is actively trying to find a suitor

438
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: for Royce Freeman before they cut him. That is a

439
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: that is a very very real possible they could trade

440
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: him for a piano like that. There were definitely some

441
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: piano's worth more. Yeah, you gont find a Steinway. He's

442
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: got like a nice grand piano and the and the

443
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: lobby at Mile High. Let's go to the Detroit running

444
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: back situation. It's gonna be carry On Johnson as your starter.

445
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: In week one. DeAndre Swift suffer day leg injury leg

446
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: injury last week. He's been getting eased back into practice

447
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: this week. He will use carry On at some point,

448
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: but we're looking at his seventy thirty split in the

449
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks. I think between carry On and DeAndre,

450
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: But well, who's on the seventy side? Carry On because

451
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: too much time? But h well, we think that will

452
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: probably flip flop round week three or four. All right,

453
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: let's go to Indianapolis. Both the running backs and the

454
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers had position battles. So I have an actual

455
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: source on this. I talked to Colts beat reporter Jim

456
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: Iello from the Indie Start earlier this week. He was

457
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: a long time part time writer of mine. Yeah, leak

458
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: safe post and stuff. Um, he's in my fantasy baseball league,

459
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: so that's that's a that's a good in there. The

460
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: Colts coaching staff still loves Marlon Mack, according to Jim,

461
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: and he's going to get a lot more work than

462
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: people think. So in this case, I think there's only

463
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: losers in this situation. While I do think Taylor shines

464
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: and eventually grows into a lead dog role for the

465
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, it sounds like Marlon Mack will

466
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: probably be on the heavy side of the sixty split,

467
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: and that's not what anybody wants to hear. And then

468
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: on the wide receiver side, uh, it sounds like Paris

469
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: Campbell has really been a huge bright spot in camp

470
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: for the Colts, while Michael Pittman has really struggled with

471
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: drops uh, and it feels like second year Campbell has

472
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: completely beat out Pittman UH for the second wide receiver

473
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: on the field. I'm precocking Paris Campbell. Now. Remember the

474
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: Colts love to play a lot of twelve personnel, one

475
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: running back and two tight ends, so they're not gonna

476
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: have three wide receivers on the field very often. So

477
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: it's Hilton and Campbell. I think for most of the year,

478
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: Campbell will play the slot and outside as well. Let's

479
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: go to the Rams and the running back situation. Any

480
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: clarity there, Brian. It's quite the opposite of the Detroit

481
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: situation where the second year guy and Darryl Henderson has

482
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: been missing time with the hamstring injury. So cam Akers

483
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: looks like he'll be the lead back going into week one.

484
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: But Malcolm Butler is just gonna Brown. I'm sorry, Malcolm

485
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: Brown canna be there to vulture touchdowns from both of

486
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: these guys big time. But cam Akers looks like a

487
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: lead back as a rookie going into week one. Although

488
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: they said they're gonna use hot hand and that I

489
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: think could be very frustrating. We'll see Malcolm Brown is

490
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: going to be everybody's least favorite player in the year.

491
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: You might be right about that. Jacksonville, let's go to

492
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver situation other than DJ CHARKI yeah, the

493
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: Jags have been super impressed with their two rookies, uh

494
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: Leavisca Chennault and fifth rounder Colin Johnson who's six ft six.

495
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: So this means the trade happy Jacksonville Jaguars are in

496
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: the market to move Keelan Cole and d D. Westbrook.

497
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: In all likelihood, it's possible that they'll cut one or

498
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: both of them to keep things thrifty in Jacksonville. I

499
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: think Laviska Senalt is the wide receiver too on this

500
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: team this year, and I bet they move on from

501
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: Keelan Cole or d. D. Westbrook to any team that

502
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: needs any kind of wide receiver at all. Brian, back

503
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: to the Rams, what are you talking about with the

504
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: Rams five receivers Josh Reynolds and Van. It was gonna

505
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: be Josh Reynolds all preseason or all off season before

506
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: the draft. At Van Jefferson has looked great in camp

507
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: and he's the guy you want to own if you're looking,

508
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: if you are wanting to own the third wide receiver

509
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: for the Rams, it's Van Jefferson right now. And hey,

510
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: look they've they've they've been able to pay three wide receivers.

511
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: I mean fantasy money, that's true. We've got we've gotten

512
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: production on three receivers in the past. We'll talk a

513
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: little bit more about Van Jefferson later in the show. Actually,

514
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: and let's go to the Chargers and the quarterback situation there.

515
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: This doesn't take long. Tyrod Taylor has been the starter

516
00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: for months. According to the athletics Daniel Popper, just Herbert

517
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: has been the primary quarterback working with the second team.

518
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: But they're also saying that Easton Stick has a outside

519
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: shot at number two QB. And you have to say

520
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: his name very slowly, and I said it way too

521
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: fast there. Um, I it's hard to read too much

522
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: into hard knocks. I from the little stuff that I've

523
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: seen of Herbert, and Herbert's had a lot of camera time.

524
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't like what I saw, but I'm you're only seeing,

525
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, a tiny, tiny fraction of all of his

526
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: throws and everything else. Uh, And it's still super early

527
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to glean too much into that, Brian.

528
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: The last one for you San Francisco's running back situation,

529
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: it's for most, it's been a roller coaster ride for him.

530
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: He was the guy, and then he wanted out, then

531
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: they paid him and he's the guy again. But it's

532
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: really because they're so dinged at wide receiver in San Francisco.

533
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: They got Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon running like wide

534
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: receiver routes right now. But but most of it looked great.

535
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: Uh over the last six games last year, I'm sorry,

536
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: he finished top twenty and all of them, and four

537
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: of those six games were inside the top tenant running back.

538
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: So he will be the guy. But Hannah Hannigan's man,

539
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: you never can rule those out. But we just gotta

540
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: see how this plays out in sand Fan. But it

541
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: should be Bastard getting most. I think so. I think

542
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: so too. I just I worry about Coleman, especially near

543
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: the stripe, which bugs me and I shouldn't have to

544
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: worry about that, But I think Coleman is going to

545
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: get paid near the stripe. Let's go to Miami, where

546
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of moving parts. Who's one of the

547
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: various battles there, so to uh is healthy enough that

548
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have been shopping their other backup, Josh Rosen.

549
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,239
Speaker 1: But stew Beard will start the season. Yeah, we need

550
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: a stew Beard sounder or something like that. What is

551
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: it this time? It's a beard sound It sounds like

552
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: a peacock, That's what it sounds like. Well, that's a

553
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: pretod stupid. That is a pretty good stupid, isn't it?

554
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: Right there? Um? They said, the offense looks clearly smoother

555
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: under Fitzpatrick, but look for two around week nine, when

556
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins face Arizona, then the Jets, then a By,

557
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: then the Jets again, and then Cincinnati in a five

558
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: week span might be the way to get them up

559
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 1: and running. For the running X situation between Matt Brita

560
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: and Jordan Howard, it looks like a completely split backfield

561
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: between these two, But the camp standout has been Miles Gaskin,

562
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: who the staff is very excited about their both his

563
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: running ability and has improved pass blocking skills. So if

564
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: either Howard or Brita gets hurt, I don't think that

565
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: they take over a lead dog role. I think Miles

566
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: Gaskin slides into that spot and then chart. Finally, I'll

567
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: go into my Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver battle here, and

568
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: it was for wide receiver to between Deonte Johnson, James Washington,

569
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: and Chase Claypool. Um. The knock on Deonte Johnson is

570
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: he was injured for almost all of camp despite being

571
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: a second year player. He's got the same experience with

572
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger as Chase Claypool, and he's getting drafted the

573
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: highest of all the three, but he's not the one

574
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: I want. James Washington has had the camp that's been

575
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: the most solid according to the athletic UH Mike Cabboli

576
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: over there said that he added a full route tree

577
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: to his arsenal, which is very impressive. And Claypool has

578
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: been kind of up and down throughout the camp. Great

579
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: one day, dropped a few passes the next. So James Washington,

580
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: I believe is the wide receiver too. You want there.

581
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: She might be the wide receiver. But here's where we're

582
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: going to agree. I think maybe not, because nobody's out

583
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: on a bigger limb on this than me. I think

584
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: Jujuice Smith Schuster is the odd man out very quickly.

585
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't in battle a few weeks ago. But Jacksonville

586
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: running back. Now, who do you want charge? Rye hill Armstead,

587
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson divine a Zigbo or James Robinson is Zigbo?

588
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: That's our that's our guy. Guy is the official of

589
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: Zigbo of this show. It's been declared of the Zigbo's.

590
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: That's the bankruptcy. Yes, um, find out about ju Ju

Speaker 1: Smith Schuster. We'll also find out the answer to three

Speaker 1: let's begin with tough question number one. Will New Tampa

612
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: running back Leonard four Nett have over or under nine

613
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: and a half touchdowns? Brian, So his total touchdowns uh,

614
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: starting as a rookie, have gone from ten to six

615
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: to three, and that's rushing and receiving. Only two of

616
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: those nineteen total touchdowns were receiving, and of course neither

617
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: of them came last year when he had seventy six catches.

618
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: Oddly enough, yes, and of course he's also a Tampa

619
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: Bay buccaneer. Now he's not on the Jacksonville Jaguars. An

620
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: interesting tidbit, four Net is the highest drafted running back

621
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: fourth overall that Brady will have ever played with. Uh

622
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor the previously highest drafting back ninth overall. I

623
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: didn't remember the two year two years stint the Patriots

624
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: the latter end of his career, of course, but nine

625
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: and half touchdowns is a lot for a guy that

626
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: has scored nineteen total touchdowns, even though it will be

627
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: in a prolific offense. But he's going into the year

628
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: as the backup, presumably, So I'm going under nine and

629
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: a half touchdowns, Okay, I'm also going under. The Bucks

630
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: Backs totaled fifteen touchdowns last year, fourteen of those which

631
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: were on the ground. That was actually seventh most in

632
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: the league. Of that, Ronald Jones had six rushing scores,

633
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber had six rushing scores. In the single receiving

634
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: score Daly had the other two. Barbara and Bally are

635
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: both obviously gone, so is pass happy Jamis Winston. But

636
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones was four for four on his carries inside

637
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: the five on scoring, So I would say that if

638
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: you were gonna bet the over, you would have to

639
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: bet that Leonard four net takes over for Ronald Jones

640
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: inside the five. I don't think that that's going to

641
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: happen since he was very successful there last year. So

642
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the under nine and a half.

643
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: And Matt, you took most of my talking points here,

644
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 1: although let's note this and there's so there is reason

645
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: to think that there's going to be a lot of

646
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: touch downs to be had here. Tom Brady's Patriot teams

647
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: lad the NFL and rushes inside the five. The past

648
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: five years, no team had more than Tom Brady's offense

649
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: in New England. And so don't think that Brady automatically

650
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: means there's a bunch of passing from inside five. He

651
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: spent more time handing off than he did passing. He

652
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: was four for twenty last year on passing from which

653
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: is crazy crazy. So I do think they're going to

654
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: give the ball plenty of times the running backs and

655
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: enough times where Leonard Fournett's going to be close to

656
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: that nine and a half, But does he actually go

657
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: over it? The things working against him is I don't

658
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,479
Speaker 1: think he's a materially better back than Ronald Jones. He's

659
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: about the same. He's not a better pass blocker, unfortunately,

660
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: so I can't say he's gonna be on the field

661
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: for pass blocking reasons. And then there's the history of

662
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: soft tissue injuries that just always scares me to Leonard

663
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: four net. So you put all that together, I don't

664
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: think he's quite going to get to the nine and

665
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: a half, but he clearly If Ronald Jones bobs out

666
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: of this competition early, he'll make easily tough Question number two.

667
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: Last year, Ravens tight end Mark Andrews led the team

668
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: in every meaningful receiving category targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns.

669
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: Will he have a clean sweep again this year? Matt, No,

670
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,479
Speaker 1: he won't have a clean sweep, but he'll get most

671
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: of them. Uh, Andrews only managed eight hundred fifty two

672
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 1: receiving yards, and I say only, but that's still pretty

673
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: good for a tight end in most seasons. The problem

674
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: is is I don't see him increasing on that market.

675
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: Ton and I really like Hollywood Brown to take a

676
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 1: major step forward after spending most of last year nursing

677
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: some nagging injuries. And here's a couple of stats on Brown.

678
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: He sat out weeks sixth through eight, came back in

679
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: week nine. From week nine through weeks seventeen, he only

680
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: averaged three and a half targets, two point seven catches,

681
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: and twenty eight yards per game. But in weeks one

682
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: through five he averaged seven point eight targets, four receptions

683
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: in sixty five yards per game, and of course he

684
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: rested and then had hundred and twenty six yards in

685
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: the playoff game. So even if Brown only averages sixty

686
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: five yards per game, he's well over a thousand yards

687
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: at that point. And I think that's enough to beat

688
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews in one of those categories. Yeah, Matt mentioned

689
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: Brown was hurt a lot last year. Only played in

690
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: fourteen regular season games. He saw four or fewer targets,

691
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 1: and half of those fourteen games seventy one total targets

692
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: for Brown had forty six catches Andrews had sixty four targets,

693
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: so basically equal targets. Brown is having more catches. And

694
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 1: if Brown is healthy and he is right now, he's

695
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: gonna see a hundred and undred and thirty targets this year,

696
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: so it would. But if he's healthy and ready to

697
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: go in his second year, I think it could happen.

698
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: So no, Andrews will not clean sweep the receiving category.

699
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: I hold my guy, Myles Boykin and outdoing Mark Andrews,

700
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: so I can. I always feel like we we cling

701
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: onto guys in the preseason that our wide receiver two's

702
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: and they never pant I feel like they never pan out.

703
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't speak for yourself. I think I would like

704
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,479
Speaker 1: to believe plenty of mine, plenty of mine. I can't

705
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: go on right now. However, and who didn't pan out either, Uh,

706
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: you're right that Brown does is very likely to catch

707
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: up somewhere. He he was only eighteen receptions behind last year,

708
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: he was only two hundred sixty eight yards behind last year,

709
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: and he did have all the injuries last year. Um.

710
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: I think Andrews still wins the touchdown battle absolutely, you know.

711
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: I think that's the one you feel most safe about.

712
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: Here's where your X factor comes in for Mark Andrews.

713
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: You know, with hayden Hurst leaving, he leaves behind forty

714
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: targets three hundred fifty yards if they don't go to

715
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: Nick Boyle and those all go to Andrews, Andrew's going

716
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,479
Speaker 1: to do it again. But I don't think it's gonna happen.

717
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: I think Nick Boyle is gonna end up getting most

718
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: of those hayden Hurst yards and they gotta they gotta

719
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: spread that around those those vacated targets to wide receivers

720
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: to and J K. Dobbins. Yeah, well that's yeah, he's

721
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: a very good pass catching back as well, and Devin

722
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: de Verne has looked good the rookie wide receiver too.

723
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a little bit of run here to

724
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: tough question number three. Much of Josh Allen's fantasy production

725
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: has come through his running. Through two years, he's averaging

726
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: roughly five hundred fifty rushing yards and eight and a

727
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: half rushing touchdowns This year, will he be over or

728
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: under his career averages? Brian so In twenty eighteen, Josh

729
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: Allen had six hundred thirty one yards on eighty nine carries.

730
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: Lead back Shady McCoy had five fourteen on a hundred

731
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 1: and sixty one attempts, nearly twice as many as Josh Allen.

732
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: Za Jones was the leading wide receiver for Buffalo last year,

733
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin was catching passes from Buffalo. Just an awful,

734
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: awful state for the Bills in twenty eighteen. Josh Allen

735
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: had to do virtually everything for them to try and

736
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: win games and got a little better. Not really so

737
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: much in the backfield with Frank Or and Devin Singletary,

738
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: who combined for four rushing touchdowns. That's it. Josh Allen

739
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: had even more carries in hundred and nine carries for

740
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: less yards five and ten. But they really relied on

741
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: him in the red zone. Ah, he had nine rushing

742
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: touch town nine times, voice as many as Frank Gore,

743
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: Devon Singletary, John Cole I'm sorry, John Brown and Cole

744
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: Beasley were huge upgrades in the passing game. So this

745
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: year it's Zach Moss time. That's it. He's going to

746
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,479
Speaker 1: pick up a lot of slack that Josh Allen. Uh.

747
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: I won't say he's leaving it in the red zone,

748
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: but he doesn't need to be relied on as much

749
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: in the red zone. And Stefon Diggs is now in

750
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: town too to add add him to John Brown and

751
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, and they're just not gonna need Josh Allen,

752
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 1: who run as much as he has has in the past.

753
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: So I'm going under the career averages for Josh Matt

754
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: Brian literally read all my every single one of them,

755
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: all right, So you're also on under. The correct answer

756
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: is under. The scrambling is gonna drop this year. The

757
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: yardage is gonna drop. Second year. It's the second year

758
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: for Buffalo's massive offensive line transformation that started last year.

759
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: I think those guys, that whole group as a unit

760
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: gets better, better receivers which you mentioned, more confidence in

761
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: the pocket. I'm reminded a little bit of a young

762
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: Donovan McNabb. Now you guys are too young to remember

763
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: Donovan McNabb, like the same age I used to pick

764
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: up with Donovan McNabb at lifetime. I swear Donovan mcna

765
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: first came into the league was a rushing quarterback who

766
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: had a nice arm, and he throws some make some

767
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: big plays, and he was running around a lot. Then

768
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: he suffering the injury, and he turned into a very

769
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: very good Hall of Fame caliber uh pocket passer, and

770
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: I think till he got to Minnesota at that point

771
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 1: he was completely cooked. Josh Allen, I think is going

772
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: to transform into a much more of a pocket passer

773
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: who will only have to run when he needs to

774
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: and hopefully not so often. He got five rushing touchdowns

775
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: from inside the five last year. Who's going to take

776
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: those five rushing touchdowns from inside the five this year?

777
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: Devin Singleton, Yeah, that's exactly right. That is the It's

778
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: Zach Boss for the love, it is Zack Moss just

779
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: the vulture. Now, yes, he well, he's more than the vulture.

780
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: He's a vulture plus a pea cock all in one.

781
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: You're pretty cocking again, had a little, we starve a

782
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: lot of burden. You remember where McNabb went to college

783
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: off the top of your head, Syracuse. Okay, you know

784
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: he played on the basketball team. I did not remember

785
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: that on the basketball at least the last two Bryan

786
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: just wants to talk about playing basketball for the rest

787
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: of the segment. That's right. Totally dunked on McNabb. It

788
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: was great. No, he dunked on He wasn't duncan though.

789
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: At that point we have time for an unscripted bonus question,

790
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: question number four. What we have a sounder for this? Yes,

791
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: we do, in case we ever have bonus time, which

792
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: we got right now. Last year, Aaron Rodgers finished outside

793
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: the top seventeen among quarterbacks in eleven of sixteen weeks.

794
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: Got that. So he was outside of the top seventeen

795
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in eleven of sixteen weeks last year. Does Aaron

796
00:42:54,760 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: Rodgers finish better or worse than that this year? I'll

797
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: say better. And here's why he's upset that they drafted

798
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: Jordan's Love and he's going to start changing those plays

799
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: at the line all the time. They're gonna be like, all, right,

800
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: hand the ball off to Aaron Jones or a J.

801
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: Dillon inside the five, and he's gonna be like, Nope,

802
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: you're changing that play. He's gonna throw way more touchdowns

803
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: than last year. I think. I think it's the demise

804
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers has been greatly exaggerated. And Davanta Adams

805
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: missed about six or seven games last year and it

806
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: was kind of dinged up for the majority of the season.

807
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 1: If he's fully healthy, Rodgers, will I finish much better

808
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: than that. I'm not as confident that as you guys are.

809
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: Here's a J. Dillon built for goal line use. I

810
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: think that inside the five, those easy touchdowns are are

811
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: going to come on the ground again. Through the backs.

812
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: They've got more than through the arm. I don't think

813
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers cares about that. I think he's mad. I

814
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: think they pissed him off. No, he's he's mad. That

815
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: might not matter. I'm not so sure. Only one good capable,

816
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: But if a bench him, you know what, if Jordy

817
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: love It had a better preseason, you can talk about that.

818
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: But he's been brutal by all accounts, so that's probably

819
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. If you want to play the freshest

820
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: new format and fantasy sports, you want to try Guillotine

821
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 1: Leagues dot Com. Seventeen. Team starts the season no head

822
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,439
Speaker 1: to head and then every week the low scoring team

823
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: gets cut from the league and the players go to

824
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. Chaos ensues on the waiver wire for

825
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: that week, and you replay that format all year long

826
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: until there's one team standing at the end of that

827
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: is the winner. If there's anything we know about everybody

828
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: loves chaos absolutely. Back for more Fantasy Football Weekly after

829
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: this Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly on the fan. I

830
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,280
Speaker 1: am Fault Charge and from Guillotine leagues dot com. Brian

831
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 1: Johnson at Harrison from Shock Fantasy dot Com. Oh yeah,

832
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: oh yeah, do you have a promo code this week?

00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: Peacock dollars for the full year of Shock Fantasy. Yeah.

835
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: The segment one thing that you should know about every

836
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: team based on the whole preseason. If there's one critical

837
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: thing to know about every single team, what are those things?

838
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: And we begin with Matt Harrison and the Carolina papist

839
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey average twenty five point two touches per game

840
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: last season, and when asked about that, both head coach

841
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: Matt Rule and offensive coordinator Joe Brady have said that

842
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: that's an appropriate number of touches for him to expect

843
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: this season. So over the last three years, by the way,

844
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: he trails only Michael Thomas and DeAndre Hopkins in total receptions.

845
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: That's crazy, crazy, he's gonna That's why he's won one. Brian,

846
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders are

847
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: gonna have two rookie wide receivers started on the boundaries

848
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: this year and Brian Edwards and Henry Ruggs, with Hunter

849
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 1: Renfro in the slot and Henry Ruggs the first wide

850
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: receiver taking overall in the draft. But Brian Edwards is

851
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: the guy you want really from an outside receiver perspective.

852
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: But I would go Hunter Renfro if I'm wanting a

853
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver based on ADP, I don't

854
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: know he's You get Brian Edwards way late and he's

855
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: the best out of this growth is I'm worried about

856
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 1: these rookies. And then but uh Nelson Aguilar is getting

857
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: a Jones looks good too. They're saying, I think I'm

858
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: gonna pass on the Raiders wide receivers. We're gonna talk

859
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: more about the Rotors gifts in game later on we'll

860
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: go to the Packers. The one thing you need to

861
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: know about the Packers Alan Lazard has won the the

862
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver two job uncontested, currently going off the board

863
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: as wide receiver sixty two pick one. The Packers, No,

864
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: they have to diversify their passing offense, and I think

865
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to force the ball to Lizard some

866
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: if only to establish there's some kind of throat on

867
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: the field other than Davante Adams. What's the one thing

868
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: people need to know about the Washington football team? At

869
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 1: guys has gone, Adrian is gone. Antonio Gibson is your

870
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: likely starter in Washington, and Ron Rivera seems to absolutely

871
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 1: love the guy and has compared him to c MC

872
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: as a threat in the passing game. Also, Washington is

873
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: going to pass a lot. Scott Turners four games as

874
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: Carolina's offensive coordinator last year, he passed sixty six point

875
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: three percent of the time. That is a lot. What

876
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: is the one thing we need to know in Buffalobrien Well,

877
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: for years it was hard to find a thing to

878
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: know about Buffalo when it came to fantasy football coming

879
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: out of training camp. But not this year. It's watch

880
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: out for the Bills. This offense is loaded, primarily Zack

881
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: moss Man. He's he's he's been the biggest mover this offseason,

882
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to rookies. When we started talking

883
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: about Zack Moss which goes from our podcast before we

884
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: were over the air back in June two. Now he's

885
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: moved from the round to the fifth round. It's been

886
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's been a remarkable change. Yeah, late second,

887
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: early third and rookie drafts Now he's mid until late first.

888
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: But I'm excited to watch the Buffalo Bills for the

889
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: first time in a long time, and a lot of

890
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: people should be too. The one thing you need to

891
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 1: know about the Houston Texans. Many reports from both reporters

892
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: and coaching saying that Will Fuller looks great, uh in

893
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: the best shape of his career, ready to pick up

894
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: the load from DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins leaves behind one fifty

895
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: targets and Fuller appears to be the primary beneficiary of that.

896
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: We will talk about their Thursday match up with Kansas

897
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: City in detail a little later in this show. Matt,

898
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: what's the one thing we need to know about the

899
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think it's that they're all in

900
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: Brady Gronk for Net Evans, Godwin, Vaughan, McCoy, Rojoe, O j. Bread,

901
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: all our names. That I only needed a name, one name,

902
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: and you know who they are. Um So, in that case,

903
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: when the offense is so deeply, when the offense is

904
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 1: so deep, take the quarterback because you're gonna get points

905
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: at free time that that offense scores and you can

906
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: you can avoid some of the pitfalls of not getting

907
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 1: the right guy on the right date. So Tom Brady

908
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: is the guy that I want the most out of

909
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: the Bucks offense. All right, Brian, let's uh, what's the

910
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: one thing we need to know about the Cleveland Browns.

911
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: It's time for redemption tour. That's pretty much it. Remember

912
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: the lofty expectations last year for the offense. Everybody wanted Brown's.

913
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is the this year's Browns, Right, those expectations

914
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,479
Speaker 1: are still reasonable. They weren't last year, but they're coming

915
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: at a great discount this year across the board outside

916
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: of Nick Chubb really, which is is justified based on

917
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: Cream Hunt being there. But you can get your Browns

918
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: way cheaper than last year, and they could, uh, they

919
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: could put up some massive We're talking point Orgies weekend

920
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: weak out. We're talking and we'll talk more about the

921
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: Browns and some specific players later in this show. The

922
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: one thing you need to know about the Indianapolis Colts

923
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell, Michael Pittman. We've already talked about them some,

924
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: but I think the biggest stories here where was Paris

925
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: Campbell's bounced back into prominence and a guy that will

926
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: be a starter were the slot work outside brings size

927
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: and speed to the position. What's the one thing people

928
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: need to know about the Detroit Lions. Matt Kenny Golladay

929
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: is in a contract year, The Lions defense is below average,

930
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: and Matthew Stafford is back and healthy, and the running

931
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: backs are already injured. So Golladay has a great chance

932
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: to be a top five wide receiver at the end

933
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: of the year. Remember, he averaged eighty yards in almost

934
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown per game last year in games with Matthew

935
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: Stafford Brian, what's the one thing to know from the

936
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,280
Speaker 1: Jets this preseason? Now I'm paraphrasing here, but Adam Gaye

937
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: says Levon Bell looks like But I don't think that's exactly. Basically,

938
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: there are two Jets you want to draft in fantasy

939
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 1: leagues or acquire via auction. It's Jameson Crowder and Chris Herndon.

940
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: That's it. Disregard the rest. That's what you need to

941
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 1: know about. I don't even want them that much. For

942
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, the one thing you need to

943
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: know from their preseason, and I think the biggest story

944
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 1: is Clyde Edwards Hlaire becoming the start and Darryl Williams

945
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: as the probable change of pace back. And that's that's

946
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: been the biggest story. I have Clyde Edwards layer as

947
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: my number three charge. What about Peterson? Adrian Peterson to

948
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs? How does that sound to you? I don't

949
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: think it's happening. No, you you mentioned, I think you

950
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: mentioned on Twitter which team has the best shot of

951
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: going sixteen? And oh and did the Chiefs just run away?

952
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: Which Chiefs ran away with it? But I think the

953
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: right answer Baltimore. But the Chiefs ran away with it,

954
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: and I can understand why they will. They will score them.

955
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 1: They will score the most points in the league. Probably

956
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: they didn't last year. You know who did, Baltimore. Let's

957
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: go to the Seattle Seahawks. What's the one thing that

958
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: everybody needs to know from the preseason for Seattle? Um

959
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: Seattle's defense is really good and we haven't talked about that.

960
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: They added Quandre Digs, Jamal Adams, and Quentin Dunbar. So

961
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 1: I think I'm looking at Chris Carson to absolutely crush

962
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: this year as the Seahawks will play tough defense and

963
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: run the ball. Before his injury, Carson had twenty or

964
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: more carries in eight of his last ten games. It's

965
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: a good sign. I don't know why nobody likes Chris Carson. Don't.

966
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: It's like, well, I guess, I guess I gotta take

967
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: Chris Carson. I think he's gonna absolutely dominate. I think

968
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna put up RB one numbers and you can

969
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: get him in the third round and all like I

970
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: got Chris Carson, so like last year, so many places, Brian,

971
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: what's the one thing people need to know about the

972
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos preseason basically the most split backfield in football

973
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: right now. Matt kind of broke it down earlier, but

974
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: the one thing to know going into this draft weekend

975
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: is if you're going to draft a Denver running back,

976
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: just take Philip Lindsay many rounds later than Milton. That's

977
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: pretty much all I can come up with for Denver.

978
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: All right. For the Rams, we've already touched on this.

979
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 1: The most important thing that has materialized rookie Van Jefferson

980
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: blowing everybody away over the past two weeks and could

981
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: easily end up as the team's starting slot receivers quickly

982
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,479
Speaker 1: as week one. Now what you may not know about

983
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: Van Jefferson, He's the son of longtime receiver Sean Jefferson,

984
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: and the dad's tutoring made him mentally ready for the NFL.

985
00:52:58,360 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: The one thing you need to know about the phil

986
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: Adelphia Eagles, Matt. No one can stay healthy. Miles Sanders,

987
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: Jalen reagor, Carson Wentzer all on the injury report for

988
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 1: week one, Alshon Jefferies on the pup on the offensive line.

989
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: Tackle Andre Dillard is on i R for the year,

990
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: so is Brandon Brooks, who plays guard Lane Johnson, has

991
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: been hurt for a few weeks and questionable for Week one.

992
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: It's the deal with the devil they made to win

993
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: super Bowl fifty two. It's all coming to a head

994
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: right now. This has been the most injured team for

995
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: like three straight years now, yeah, since Super Bowl fifty two.

996
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: All right, um, what's the one thing people need to

997
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: know about the Miami Dolphins? Bryant A lot of buzzy

998
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: players coming out of Dolphins camp. DeVante Parker, Preston Williams

999
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,359
Speaker 1: might get sicky, but be warned. A brutal, brutal start

1000
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: from Miami. Out of the gates. They get New England

1001
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: and Buffalo in the first two weeks. That means Stephon

1002
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: Gilmour and Tredavious what will be shadowing DeVante Parker the

1003
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: Jaguars in week three. That's a that's a soft one.

1004
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: But then Seahawks and then the forty Niners in the

1005
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: following weeks. That is just an awful, awful start for

1006
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: worst team in the NFL. How did this happen to them?

1007
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: But is that the vision they're in? Poor Miami. I

1008
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: don't think they're the worst team in the NFL, No,

1009
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: not anymore, but they're there. The Jaguars are are motoring

1010
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: toward that motor. The Vikings. The one thing you need

1011
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 1: to know about Minnesota Vikings. The starting wide receiver opposite

1012
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling is expected to be b C. Johnson, not

1013
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. Not that Justin Jefferson has done anything wrong,

1014
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: and he's looked very good, but b C. Johnson. Kirk

1015
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: Cousins described when as having maybe the most improved camp

1016
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: event of any player. Um BC's knowledge of the system

1017
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: gets him a head start going into the season and

1018
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 1: it's his job to lose as we go into Week one.

1019
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: What's the one thing that people need to know about

1020
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys? Matt Despite the coaching change, Kellen Moore is

1021
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: still the play caller in Dallas, so there is consistency

1022
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: with Doc and his offensive coordinator, and outside of the

1023
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 1: Rams in Week one, Dallas has a very favorable pass

1024
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: schedule to start the year. So loading up on Cowboys

1025
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: in your draft is not a bad idea at all,

1026
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: because Prescott has a pretty good chance of leading the NFC,

1027
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: but maybe even the NFL in passing yards this year.

1028
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: Great weapons for sure. Brian what's the one thing people

1029
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: don't need to know about the Patriots offseason? Of all preseason?

1030
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: Who knows what you need to know? In New England?

1031
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: Who is the lead backing to be now that Damien

1032
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,760
Speaker 1: Harris is hurt? Is Cam Newton going to be good again?

1033
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: There's nothing definitive coming out of Patriots camp. And I

1034
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: can tell you right now, yeah, Like, all right, we'll

1035
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: go to the Saints. I look, what can I tell you? Like,

1036
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm doing? Is the starting quarterback?

1037
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: You need to know? That's pretty much it. Yeah, and

1038
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. The thing you need to know

1039
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: about the New Orleans Saints has mentioned earlier in the show,

1040
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamari's contract situation and the courtisone shot. I think

1041
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: those are the biggest storylines there and what has otherwise

1042
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: been a quiet offseason for them. Matt, what's the one

1043
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 1: thing people need to know about the Giants? I hope

1044
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: I'm not stepping on Brian Johnson's touchdown call from a

1045
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: later segment here, but trade for the Giants players a

1046
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: week five? People will be freaking out about se Quan

1047
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: and Danny Dimes after they're starting. Uh, schedule of Pittsburgh, Chicago,

1048
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: San fran the Rams, and Dallas in the first five weeks.

1049
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: But their offense is going to get going. I'm a

1050
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: believer in their offense and it'll get going in weeks

1051
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 1: six and beyond. What's the one thing to know from

1052
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, Ryan Tannehill said, Derrick Henry is catching

1053
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: the ball more confidently in training campus year. And if

1054
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,240
Speaker 1: he Derrick Henry that is, can see some adequate target

1055
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 1: totals for once in his career target totals of fifteen, seventeen, eighteen,

1056
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,760
Speaker 1: and twenty four that is nothing. Just give us fifty

1057
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel and he's pushing Christian McCaffrey for RB one.

1058
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: If he can get more involved in the passing game,

1059
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: that's just over one more target per game. It's not

1060
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: a lot. It's not the one thing you need to

1061
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: know from Steelers preseason. Ben Roethlisberger looks like his old self,

1062
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: well not his old self, and that he's thirty eight

1063
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: years old, not that old self. He just looks like

1064
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: his old self before the elbow injury, which is a

1065
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,439
Speaker 1: good sign. Strength and velocity seems to be there. Um

1066
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: the impressive camp of Chase Claypool suggests a big bend

1067
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: will have four capable wide receivers to throw to this year.

1068
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: What's the one thing people need to know about the

1069
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: Falcons preseason? My belief is they will be the same

1070
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: offense as they were last year. Julio and Calvin Ridley

1071
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: will continue to put up big numbers. Hayden Hurst seems

1072
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: prime to replicate Austin Hooper, and Todd Gurley seems just

1073
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: as injury prone and questionable as Davante Freeman was last year.

1074
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 1: And defensively, they're still mediocre and they should be playing

1075
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: catch up for most of the year. Brian, what's the

1076
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: one thing people need to know? Based on the preseason

1077
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: for the Bengals? We already mentioned Joe Mixing was extended.

1078
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: A J. Green already dinged up in training camp. The

1079
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: one thing you need to know is it's Joe Burrow time. Baby.

1080
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: He's bringing very much excitement to that offense despite the A. J.

1081
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 1: Green injury, and uh, there's there's hope in Cincinnati for

1082
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time. Brian, aren't you

1083
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: excited about? I Am your Cincinnati Bengals. The one thing

1084
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: to know about the forty nine ers, massive number of

1085
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: injuries to receivers. Jalen Hurd on, I are Tavon, Tavon

1086
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: in Austin on, I r J J. Nelson on, I

1087
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: are Deebo Samuel the foot injury that may or may

1088
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: not be ready by Week one. Brandon Ayuk with a

1089
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: hamstring injury that has cost him a couple of weeks

1090
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: of practice for a rookie that really needed it. And

1091
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: Kendrick Borne is the only fully healthy Quas Eyes. He

1092
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: wasn't even a starter, you know, just somebody that's a

1093
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: veteran on the team. He was a good red zone

1094
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: target last year. It's about all he wants. But he

1095
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: may be your starter week one. And and uh, that

1096
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: might be a sneaky Week one play for although I can't.

1097
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: I really hope nobody needs a sneaky Week one play

1098
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: in Week one. Maybe DFS, Maybe maybe DFS. Let's go

1099
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals, Matt, what's the one thing you need

1100
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: to know based on the preseason in Arizona? Kyler Murray

1101
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: is the player you want from the Cardinals on your roster.

1102
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is a great addition, but he's been injured

1103
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: for a lot of camp and has very little acclamation

1104
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: time in this offense, but he joins Christian Kirk, Larry Fitzgerald,

1105
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella, Dan Arnold and uh and some solid pass

1106
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: catching backs. I probably won't get any Cardinals at their

1107
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: current a DP, except I might reach for Kyler Murray.

1108
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Jacksonville Jaguars. What's the one thing

1109
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: we need to know there? They released Leonard four Nette.

1110
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: Of course, that backfield up in the air with divine

1111
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: zigbo right Hill Armstead. Chris Thompson will be the past

1112
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:14,919
Speaker 1: catching back. But it's really it's just gonna be ride

1113
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: or die with Gardner Minshew. Baby jackson is gonna be

1114
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: throwing the ball of the time. Can I take a

1115
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: die on on that? He's just gonna chuck the ball

1116
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: so much it is, there's gonna be a lot of

1117
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: volume there. So I would say ignore the running game

1118
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and focus on Gardner Minshew J. Chark. That's

1119
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: about it. What over under would you put on Gardner

1120
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: Minshew pass attempts this year? Well, he clear six fifty,

1121
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: because that's a really really high number. He might average

1122
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: thirty five a game. I mean, it's it's gonna be

1123
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: a big it's gonna be a big number, no doubt.

1124
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: They'll be behind constantly. The one thing you need to

1125
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: know from Ravens camp a big step forward from both

1126
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: of last year's rookies, Markus Brown and Miles boy Can

1127
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 1: in camp Um. We talked about them a little bit

1128
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: last segments. I'm not gonna spend a lot of time

1129
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: on them, but both have improved and look like they

1130
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: are both draftable, although nobody's drafting Miles boy Can. Accept me.

1131
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Chicago Bears, Matt your final team.

1132
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: What is the most notable thing to come out of

1133
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: this preseason? Allen Robinson is going to catch about a

1134
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: million passes this year because the rest of that offense

1135
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: looks like a complete disaster. The quarterback situation is still

1136
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: not settled. They haven't settled in their Week one starter yet.

1137
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: David Montgomery is injured and he wasn't really the best

1138
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: player in the league when he was healthy. Anthony Miller

1139
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: is kind of a nice piece and emerging a little bit.

1140
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: But this is all about Allen Robinson setting personal bests

1141
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: in every mark as he enters a contract here. That

1142
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: was a that was a lot of things, not just

1143
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: one thing. But know the two quarterbacks. It's not like

1144
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: they've both been so good that Chicago can't figure out

1145
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: who they could possibly bench. It's been the opposite. Unfortunately,

1146
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: neither quarterback has stepped up. I can't imagine why they

1147
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: didn't get in the Cam Newton bandwagon. There our final

1148
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm maybe they're playing for draft picks. I don't know

1149
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: they're going maybe the secretly going for Trevor Lawrence. Our

1150
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: five team is the Los Angeles Chargers. Brian, what's the

1151
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: one thing to know from their preseason? Austin Ekeler is

1152
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:10,959
Speaker 1: going to eat right matt yum rb one potential still

1153
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: going too late in most drafts, in the late or

1154
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: early second lad first, But it's all about Austin Ekela

1155
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: in that offense going into this season. If you would

1156
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: like to get my cheat sheet for free, you can

1157
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: do so at Guillotine leagues dot com all my player rankings.

1158
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: It's just running out of time. There's a big draft

1159
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: weekend drafts coming up. You want a free cheat cheat

1160
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: is that at Guillotine leagues dot com. When we come

1161
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: back guys to trade for and or pick up in October,

1162
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: which also means there are guys you don't want to

1163
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: have right now, We'll tell you why and who you

1164
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: settle a calendar reminder for October? Is this super premature

1165
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: premature speculation? That's that's right, the most premature possible speculations.

1166
01:01:49,960 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: When we come back to Fantasy Football Week, Welcome back

1167
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Bultiarchie and my co host

1168
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: are Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson and Guillotine Leads dot

1169
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: com and Chuck Fantasy dot Com. The segment is devoted

1170
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: to guys that were not as interested in right now,

1171
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: but we think that there's a real trade for and

1172
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: or pick up opportunity in October. So we're planning ahead

1173
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. I literally used my calendar program on

1174
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: my computer with reminders. I did this last year with

1175
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: with Jets, where their schedule was brutal out of the gate,

1176
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: and so I had a reminder from November, Hey, take

1177
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: another look at Jets. They had the really, really tough

1178
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: schedule early on. There we've identified, Brian, I have identified

1179
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: a player at every position that we think are going

1180
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: to be trade or pick up candidates in October. Brian,

1181
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: let's start at the quarterback position. Matt did mow my

1182
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: lawn a little bit. But that's okay. I can expand

1183
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: on this, and it's Daniel Jones who is going off

1184
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: the board as a top twelve quarterback right now. People

1185
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: are are entrusting him to be a starter going into

1186
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: Week one, but starting in Week one, Daniel Jones is

1187
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 1: not startable. And it starts with Pittsburgh, who allowed six

1188
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns across the first two games of last season.

1189
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: Then they acquired Minka Fitzpatrick and they allowed seventeen passing

1190
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns over the next fifteen weeks. I'm sorry, fourteen weeks.

1191
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: That's not a lot, just over one per game. Brutal

1192
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: match up there. Then at Chicago seventeen touchdown passes allowed

1193
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 1: all season, towards the bottom of the list of touchdown

1194
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: passes allowed. San Francisco Week three allowed twenty three touchdown passes,

1195
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: not a lot. No other quarterback through more than two

1196
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: touchdown passes other than Drew Brees he had five touchdowns

1197
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: once against the forty nine. Is only four quarterbacks top

1198
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 1: two forty passing yards against San Francisco, So we're over

1199
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: three on Daniel Jones out of the gate. And then

1200
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: the Rams in Week four allowed twenty three passing touchdowns

1201
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: last year, but after Jalen Ramsey was acquired UH and

1202
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 1: started playing for them in Week seven, they allowed zero

1203
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: or one passing touchdowns and seven of the remaining ten games.

1204
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 1: And then, as Mass said, Dallas in Week five only

1205
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 1: allowed two forty passing yards at one point two passing

1206
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game last year. That's five bad matchups out

1207
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: of the game for Daniel Jones. I think the Dallas

1208
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: secondary takes a big step back this year, but it's

1209
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: still it's very tough. Daniel Jones is in October target

1210
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: and we'll like him a lot more then, but can

1211
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: the good parts of October. Week six, they get Washington

1212
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: team allowed the third most passing touchdowns last season. Giants

1213
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: also get Washington team in week nine, so weeks six

1214
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: and nine they get Washington and then in between Philly

1215
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: in Week seven and Tampa Bay in Week eight allowed

1216
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: the third most yards and thirty passing touchdowns to quarterbacks

1217
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: last year, and Danny Dimes had his coming out party

1218
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: against the Bucks last year. Two passing touchdowns to rushing touchdowns.

1219
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: So brutal start, But the schedule gets softer and that

1220
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 1: team will jail as time goes on despite their awful GM.

1221
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: Dave Gettlman, Okay, I'm Johnder. That's fine. Uh. The quarterback

1222
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 1: that I believe you'll want to trade for in October

1223
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: and you don't want now is a Derek Carr. You

1224
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: actually wanted to trade for him. You'll just pick him

1225
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: up because they'll be dropped now. The Raiders have got

1226
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: a tough Releaseason schedule, but Week one is very favorable.

1227
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: They've got Carolina. I think he could get something done

1228
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: against Carolina, but then it gives brutal is. Maybe it's

1229
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,439
Speaker 1: the worst schedule of of any team over the next

1230
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: few weeks. Saints, Patriots, Bills, Chiefs bye week, so we're

1231
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 1: just gonna skip those first five games altogether. Then after

1232
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: that is after not quite better. Well after that, I

1233
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: think he gets if he's even on a roster. I

1234
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: think he gets dropped on the bye week, and then

1235
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: Derek Carr comes back and schedule gets much easier for

1236
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. I think, maybe you disagree,

1237
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: but then I think cars starting receivers who are both rookies,

1238
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards, they'll have six weeks of the

1239
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: NFL under their belt. So those guys start, you know,

1240
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: acclimating to the NFL Derek Cark back schedule gets easier.

1241
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm a lot more interested in them. I take car

1242
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: in November, when the schedule actually gets really, really easy.

1243
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 1: We go to the running back position. Brian, who is

1244
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: your running back? Your targeting in October? But not September.

1245
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: We're staying in Las Vegas? Why not? And Josh Jacobs

1246
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 1: is the answer here. Now this starts very meaty for

1247
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs against Carolina and Week one, who allowed twenty

1248
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: seven rushing touchdowns two running backs last year. It's a

1249
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: great Week one matchup, eighteen was the next highest rushing

1250
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: touchdown total allowed to running backs. But after that it

1251
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: is an absolutely brutal stretch for Josh Jacobs starting in

1252
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: Week two with New Orleans only allowed seven rushing touchdowns

1253
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: running backs last year. New England in Week three one

1254
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown allowed to running backs last year, then Buffalo

1255
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: the following week only nine rushing touchdowns allowed. At Kansas

1256
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: City in Week five, only ten rushing touchdowns allowed to

1257
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: running backs by the Chiefs. And that's gonna be a

1258
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: flipped game script for Linda. They're gonna be passing the

1259
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: ball heavily, and then Tampa Bay in Week six only

1260
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: allowed eight rushing touchdowns are running backs. The only team

1261
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: to allow fewer than a thousand rushing yards to running

1262
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: backs all year were the Buccaneers. So outside of that

1263
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: Week one matchup for Jacobs against Carolina is five brutal games,

1264
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: and by then the owner of Joss Jacobs is gonna

1265
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: be fed up and looking to deal, just in time

1266
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 1: to face the Cleveland Browns, who allowed more than rushing

1267
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 1: games hundred sorry hundred ten rushing yards per game to

1268
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: running backs last year and fourteen rushing touchdowns that was

1269
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: fourth most. Then they get the Chargers allowed also allowed

1270
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: fourteen rushing touchdowns running backs last year, just lost Derwin

1271
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 1: James for the year as well, the l A Chargers

1272
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: and then the Broncos, who weren't as generous to running

1273
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: backs last year, but Josh Jacob scored twice against them

1274
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: in Week one, so the schedule softens up big time

1275
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: for Josh Jacobs, so don't draft him, but trade for

1276
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: him in October. The running back I want to trade

1277
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: four in October but don't want in September is Philip Lindsay. Hey,

1278
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 1: I love Philip Lindsay anyway. I mean, you know, I'm

1279
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 1: looking for excuses, but here's a pretty good one. The

1280
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 1: brutal early season schedule. Titans, Steelers, Bucks, Jets, Patriots. It's

1281
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 1: a disaster through five weeks. Now you're the Broncos. You

1282
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 1: just signed shiny new free agent Melvin Gordon. I think

1283
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: they'll try to use him copiously in those five weeks,

1284
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: and I don't think he's gonna fare very welc those

1285
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: are great defenses. And also, I'm not even sure Melvin

1286
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 1: Gordon's all that good. He was Pro Football Focuses forty

1287
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:31,600
Speaker 1: one ranked running back last year, well below Philip Lindsay.

1288
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio may come to a realization by October that

1289
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: Lindsay's just better and start ramping up usage. And as

1290
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 1: we discussed earlier in the show, we think the usage

1291
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: isn't gonna be out far off anyway, Lindsay is an

1292
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: excellent goal line back. People think that Melvin Gordon is

1293
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,599
Speaker 1: the for sure goal line back. You're wrong. Philip Lindsay

1294
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: over his career eight for eight on carries inside the

1295
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: five converted to touchdowns. So I think you're all that together.

1296
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 1: The easier schedule and everything else. And I like Philip

1297
01:08:56,560 --> 01:09:00,599
Speaker 1: Lindsay as my October target to go to the wide

1298
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: receiver position. Brian who is a guy that you don't

1299
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 1: like in September but you do like in October. I'm

1300
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: gonna lump them together if that's okay. And that's Julio

1301
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,640
Speaker 1: Jones and Calvin Ridley of the Atlanta Falcons. The the

1302
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,799
Speaker 1: past catcher you want a draft now is Hayden Hurst

1303
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: the tight end. Atlanta gets Seattle and Dallas out of

1304
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 1: the gate. They are two of the three teams that

1305
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: allowed a thousand plus yards to tight ends last year. Now,

1306
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: Seattle and Dallas have been an awful matchup for wide

1307
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: receivers in recent years. And keep in mind Seattle acquired

1308
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams from the New York Jets might be the

1309
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: best free safety and all the football. So Seattle only

1310
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: allowed twelve wide receiver touchdowns all year last year, not

1311
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: a lot. Dallas allowed thirteen. They get them in Week two,

1312
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: Then in Week three they get Chicago, who allowed only

1313
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 1: nine wide receiver touchdowns, and then the Packers in Week

1314
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: four only allowed eleven wide receiver touchdowns. This is the

1315
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 1: bottom of the barrel in terms of touchdowns allowed to

1316
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the first four weeks for Julio Jones

1317
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: and Calvin Ridley. But then starting in week five, they

1318
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: get Carolina, who allowed the fifth most yards two wide

1319
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: receivers last year, the Vikings. Then in week six, Okay,

1320
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 1: but we're talking about hating hursts the tight end. No, No,

1321
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley and Julio Jones. I'm saying the guy you

1322
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: wanted to draft now is hating the receivers first, is

1323
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: the guy you want to start Ridley and Julie. So

1324
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: starting in week five, it gets better for Julio and

1325
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley with Carolina and then Minnesota eighteen wide receiver

1326
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed last year, lost all their cornerbacks. Essentially week seven,

1327
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: they get the Lions twenty wide receiver touchdowns allowed last

1328
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: year by Detroit who also lost Darius Slay. And then

1329
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 1: they get Carolina again, who I just mentioned. So four

1330
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 1: veryous soft games starting in Week five for the Atlanta Whiteouts.

1331
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:44,640
Speaker 1: Don't draft them trade for him. I also have a

1332
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 1: pair of Whiteouts Brown's wide receivers, Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham.

1333
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: We've talked earlier how we think the Browns are the

1334
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: Browns of this year are going to be the Browns

1335
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: everybody thought they were getting last year. They have a

1336
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: tricky early season schedule and then it becomes one of

1337
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,639
Speaker 1: the easiest the rest of the year. From October four ward.

1338
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: Is only one game that will give you pause with

1339
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: Landry and Beckham, and that is a trip to Pittsburgh.

1340
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: The other Steelers matchup is week seventeen, so we don't

1341
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:09,560
Speaker 1: have to worry about that one at all. Can I

1342
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: give you a bonus one? Please? Will Fuller Houston starts

1343
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: with Kansas City, Baltimore. Pittsburgh, Minnesota is a little bit

1344
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: easier in Jacksonville is a little bit easier, but those

1345
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 1: first three weeks and they will be the first three

1346
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 1: weeks of September. By the way, October one, go get

1347
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: Will Fuller because I think he's about to go off

1348
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 1: in a major way at that time. All right, and Brian,

1349
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: let's go to the tight end position. I got Miami's

1350
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 1: Mike Gisicki, who has moved into the top twelve tight

1351
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,759
Speaker 1: ends drafted. He starts at New England, who allowed four catches,

1352
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 1: forty three yards and zero point three eight touchdowns per

1353
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: game to tight ends last year. Only one tight end

1354
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 1: top seventy yards against New England that was zach Ertz.

1355
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey couldn't even do it. He had the second

1356
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 1: most yards against the Patriots was sixty six. Then he

1357
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 1: gets Buffalo in week two. He totaled eight catches for

1358
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: fifty nine yards in the two games against Buffalo last year,

1359
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 1: Mike Giski. That is, Buffalo allowed less catches, yards and

1360
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,679
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game to tight ends than the Patriots did.

1361
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: And then Jacksonville in Week three, tight end was the

1362
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 1: one position they could defend. Last year they allowed the

1363
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,799
Speaker 1: fifth few as catches the tight ends, so on paper,

1364
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: not a great matchup for Gisicki UH in Week three

1365
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: either against Jacksonville. But then starting in week four, he

1366
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 1: gets Seattle, who I mentioned earlier one of the three

1367
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: teams will allow one thousand plus yards at tight ends. UH.

1368
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: San Francisco in Week five. I don't like that as much,

1369
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: but maybe George Kittle will give him some good advice

1370
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 1: after the game, so that's a that's a plus. But

1371
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:32,759
Speaker 1: then back to the good stuff in week six with Denver,

1372
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: who allowed the fourth fourth most yards to tight ends. UH.

1373
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 1: Then the Charges, which is a neutral matchup than the Rams,

1374
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 1: who allowed the ninth most yards tight ends. And then

1375
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: wait for it, we cap it off with the Arizona

1376
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals from Mike Gasicki. So you definitely want to trade

1377
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 1: for him in October. Don't draft him in September though,

1378
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: all right, the guys that I want to trade for

1379
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:57,680
Speaker 1: in October and don't on September the Cardinals tight end.

1380
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals have the fifth toughest Timber schedule for tight ends.

1381
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 1: Who's that? But then relaxes to the second easiest schedule

1382
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: for tight ends in October and it's middle to pack

1383
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: in November. But who even is the Cardinals tight end

1384
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 1: at Max Williams? I think? Is that? Who you want?

1385
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: Is that the guy Dan Arnold? Buy, go, go, Just

1386
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: tell everybody about Dan Arnold again one more time. Dan

1387
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:26,680
Speaker 1: Arnold is the second coming of Darren Waller basically, and

1388
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 1: this is the last time you're gonna hear it. Converted

1389
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:33,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver out of Wisconsin Platteville, drafted, I'm sorry, undrafted,

1390
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:35,839
Speaker 1: signed by the Saints, but he was on the Arizona

1391
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: Cardinals last year. Didn't get any real run until the

1392
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: last uh three or four games of this season. But

1393
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 1: you extrapolate his numbers and they are I popping, you know.

1394
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:48,919
Speaker 1: And chart went against Dan Arnold here, Brian, you easily

1395
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: could have gone against John Hu Smith, who starts the

1396
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 1: season with four top twelve tight end defenses in the

1397
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: first five weeks in Denver, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo in

1398
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,640
Speaker 1: the first five weeks. John Nu Smith is a guy

1399
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:04,680
Speaker 1: that you might not want to draft stop that, but

1400
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:08,640
Speaker 1: you might want to go get him. He's gonna have

1401
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,839
Speaker 1: some inconsistent games in that stretch and everybody on Twitter

1402
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 1: is gonna be all on me at Paul, how do

1403
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 1: you like Johnny Smith? Now? You loser? You know? And

1404
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,679
Speaker 1: then watch he is gonna he is going to take

1405
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:24,679
Speaker 1: off after that? Do they call you a loser? Worse

1406
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 1: than that? It's Twitter absolutely. When we come back the

1407
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: Thursday night game, we are just days away from the season,

1408
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,280

1409

1411
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: they are as well. Many of us still drafting. It's

1412
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get some of these final sleeper players

1413
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:52,639

Speaker 1: We've got a game on Thursday, guys, hit charts. I

1424
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 1: wanted to mention we have a trade offer between you

1425
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: and I in one of our Empire leagues right now,

1426
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: and I was about to accept this, and I wanted

1427
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 1: to see what Brian said before I hit accept. I

1428
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 1: don't remember what it is anymore. He gives me t

1429
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. You want me to be the meddler. You'd

1430
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: be the meddler because you're in the league too. I'm

1431
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: gonna give him johnnu Smith in a second round pick.

1432
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: After all of a sudden, I get Hilton, he gets

1433
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:23,600
Speaker 1: John in a second what do you think. Yeah, I

1434
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 1: don't John Suit. I have Travis Kelsey. This is just

1435
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: because I love John Smith, that's all. So Only no

1436
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: normal person would even offer this trade. Only the the

1437
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: head cheerleader of the John Smith fan club would offer

1438
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 1: this trade. He's convincing me to make this trade. Well,

1439
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 1: just stupid trade for me. I'm not even start John Smith.

1440
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: I've got Travis Kelsey. Alright, I'm hitting Smith might be

1441
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: your best wide receiver on that. You know, there's something

1442
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: trade accepted. Thursday night, we've got a We've got a

1443
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: actual and NFL football game. Ye are all fans in

1444
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City to some order capacity if I would say

1445
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 1: something something, Uh, this is gonna be Houston's third trip

1446
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 1: to Kansas City in the past twelve games there twice

1447
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: last year and now here they are going back to

1448
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City again. And they held up well both times.

1449
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: Uh well for a while. In that playoff game, they

1450
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: were up twenty four nothing and then it all disintegrated fast.

1451
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 1: But they won the other one, didn't They um the

1452
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,760
Speaker 1: regular season? Believe they did that. You can take You're

1453
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: not positive about that, you know. And it's funny because

1454
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: I looked at that game blog a plenty of times.

1455
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 1: We did research on this, but it's fantasy. Do I

1456
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: care who won the game? No, I cared about all

1457
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:45,680
Speaker 1: the players did. Let's start with the Houston side of

1458
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 1: the ball. Deshaun Watson. In the prior to games from

1459
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: last year, we threw a whopping forty two and fifty

1460
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: two times, which helped him average three hundred thirty passing yards.

1461
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:58,679
Speaker 1: He also ran in three touchdowns. The Chiefs have struggled

1462
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,719
Speaker 1: against rushing quarterbacks for a while. They allowed the second most,

1463
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: second most, and fifth most quarterback rushing touchdowns over the

1464
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: past three years. But even if he doesn't rush for

1465
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown, Um, you know, the arm could beat an

1466
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 1: improved Chief secondary. But I don't think it necessarily in

1467
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 1: a big way that this was a good secondary last year.

1468
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:19,719
Speaker 1: Of the last nine games of last year, including the playoffs,

1469
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs aw just one passing touchdown per game. Really

1470
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,680
Speaker 1: hope he gets the rushing touchdown. Yeah, they did win.

1471
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 1: In a week six, Houston went into Kansas City and one,

1472
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: thank you very much, Mahomes was hurt. I believe in

1473
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:36,760
Speaker 1: that a B grade. No Mahomes played that game, great hurt.

1474
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: The next game be great for Deshaun Watson, be great

1475
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 1: for his receivers, Will Fuller and Brandon Cooks. Uh, the

1476
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:48,719
Speaker 1: Chiefs are gonna be without marijuana enthusiast. By the way,

1477
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 1: that's what he calls himself. We all got to be

1478
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:56,839
Speaker 1: enthused about something. The suspended cornerback leaves Kansas City very

1479
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,680
Speaker 1: thin at left corner, so thin that defensive coordinators Eavespagnola

1480
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 1: says that he might need to use a hot hand

1481
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,800
Speaker 1: approach at cornerback. When it was the last time you

1482
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: heard that, I never heard that. Um starter Chip Various

1483
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,639
Speaker 1: Ward is very good, but he plays the right side

1484
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: of the field exclusively, so it'll be pretty easy to

1485
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 1: avoid him whenever they want to. Fuller and Cooks are

1486
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,439
Speaker 1: going to see plenty of work with DeAndre Hopkins leaving

1487
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty targets behind. Fuller scored in just one

1488
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: game last year. I had forgotten that just one game

1489
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,719
Speaker 1: with a touchdown last year for Fuller. Cooks is currently

1490
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 1: non concussed, so you can start him while you can.

1491
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,439
Speaker 1: Both players have an opportunity just because of the lack

1492
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 1: of depth at the cornerback position. A B grade for

1493
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 1: both of those guys, staying um with the passing game.

1494
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb is on the bench because running out of

1495
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,679
Speaker 1: the slot, he draws Tyronne Matthew, so he is dead

1496
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: to us. Matthews awesome in coverage. Let's go to the

1497
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 1: running backs. David Johnson gets a B grade. Last year,

1498
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City ranked twenty five and rushing yards per game,

1499
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 1: two in rushing touchdowns allowed, and that front seven is

1500
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 1: basically unchanged. This team is really built to pressure quarterbacks,

1501
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:07,840
Speaker 1: not stop the run. Last year, Bill O'Brien stubbornly gave

1502
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 1: Carlos Hyde sixteen touches per game despite his woeful results

1503
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,719
Speaker 1: in Johnson should get sixteen in this game, which should

1504
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 1: be enough to get him near one hundred yards in

1505
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 1: a possible touchdown. If there's a goal line opportunity, David

1506
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 1: Johnson should get it. I just can't wait to see.

1507
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: Are we gonna get fat, lazy David Johnson? The trim

1508
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 1: smelt David Johnson. He was the top five running back

1509
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: for the first five weeks last season. We'll find out

1510
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: B grade Duke Johnson startable grade C grade. Jeeves allowed

1511
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 1: the most running back receiving yards last year and the

1512
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 1: fourth most receptions. That's a lot of why I like him.

1513
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 1: Duke touched the ball just six and seven times in

1514
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: the two meetings last year with Kansas City, but he

1515
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: did score in one of those. So you're not gonna

1516
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 1: get necessarily a lot of output, but hopefully the the

1517
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 1: work that he gets will end up with something substantial.

1518
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Kansas City side easy eg aids

1519
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes, Tyree Kill, Travis Kelsey. I'm not going

1520
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time on those guys. They

1521
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: will probably rank it number one or close to number

1522
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: one on my Week one rankings at their respective positions

1523
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,200
Speaker 1: in the two meetings last year, Mahomes through eight touchdowns,

1524
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,759
Speaker 1: Kelsey hammer Houston in the playoff game for ten catches

1525
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: hundred thirty or four yards and three touchdowns, and Houston

1526
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 1: secondary last year was brutal, ranking twenty nine and yards

1527
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 1: allowed twenty nine and touchdowns allowed. And Bill O'Brien g M.

1528
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:30,520
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien brought back the entire the entire secondary, baffling

1529
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:32,760
Speaker 1: that he did not address that secondary in the off

1530
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 1: Are you saying Bill O'Brien makes a few baffling moves

1531
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 1: as the GM here and they're breaking news Fantasy Football

1532
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 1: Weekly learned opener restaurant called the baffle House. I'm so

1533
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: sorry you said, let's go all right, let's go to

1534
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards at even a Dad and that was legendary. Remember,

1535
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 1: Andy Reid gave this is what I want you to

1536
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,679
Speaker 1: go back in the time machine to twenty seventeen Week one.

1537
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 1: We have a time machine, sounder, You're right, we do.

1538
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: Let's go just like that. Welcome to two thousand seventeen

1539
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 1: Week one. So much better. But little did we know

1540
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 1: how great was? It's Week one. The Chiefs are traveling

1541
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: to the Patriots. They are big underdogs. Andy Reid unleash

1542
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 1: is rookie running back Kareem Hunt in his first ever game,

1543
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 1: golden sombrero twenty one touches for Kareem Hunt in that game.

1544
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: Week one, Andy Reid, it will not hesitate to use

1545
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: his rookie running back right off the bat like Hunt. Cream. Sorry,

1546
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards. Hilaire is in every down back and I

1547
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,679
Speaker 1: expect a healthy workload here. Houston was a bad rush

1548
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:54,640
Speaker 1: defense last year, ranking twenty yards per cary, and they

1549
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: could be worse this year. Houston is without last year's

1550
01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:00,640
Speaker 1: run stuffing nose tackle DJ Reader, and they tried to

1551
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: sign another run stuffing tackle, Timmy Journe again, but he

1552
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 1: couldn't pass the physical. Now they have to start rookie

1553
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 1: Russ Blacklock at defensive tackle, making his first start. What's more,

1554
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:17,480
Speaker 1: last year, Houston allowed the second most running back receptions,

1555
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 1: the second most receiving yards, and the most running back

1556
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns in the league. It's all coming up perfectly

1557
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 1: for Clyde's Edwards, a layer, a terrific pass catcher. And

1558
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: by the way, again in the time Machine two thousand seventeen,

1559
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 1: three months, first game, five receptions for receiving yards. Give me,

1560
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:44,640
Speaker 1: give me a projected stat line for Clyde just just

1561
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 1: in this game, one thousand total yard? How many touchdowns?

1562
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 1: Two azing? He's an A grade, Clyde Edwards a lawyer.

1563
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 1: I think I'll use him in DFS. You might want

1564
01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: to Let's go to the Let's go to the receivers.

1565
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about me Cole Hardman and Sammy Watkins.

1566
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 1: Who gets C grades here is really just kind of

1567
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 1: a dart throw. Neither did anything in last year's two matchups.

1568
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: But the secondary for the taxes is so bad that

1569
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 1: I think either one of them viable dart throw, especially

1570
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: maybe in DFS uh Watkins works the slot a lot

1571
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 1: where we'll see a very vern burnable Vernon Hargreaves. I

1572
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:25,679
Speaker 1: called him vernable. How about burning Hargreaves. That's even better,

1573
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 1: Vernon hard Graves, that's fantastic vern degree. No. Hard Greaves

1574
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: allowed forty eight yards and half a touchdown in his

1575
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:38,559
Speaker 1: coverage with Houston last year. We all expect Hardman to

1576
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 1: have an expanded role in twenty and it could start

1577
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:42,719
Speaker 1: right here in the opener. I think we all think

1578
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 1: Nicole Hardman will get more activity than he did last year.

1579
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 1: If Sammy Watkins somehow has a big Week one game,

1580
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: oh no, especially after Tyreek Hill gets hurt straight immediately. Yes,

1581
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 1: we all got burned on that last year. UM. In

1582
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: our final moments of the show, here, let's go to

1583
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: our final set of Sleepers. We've given out five shows

1584
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,760
Speaker 1: of Sleepers, fifteen different players. Our final set begins here

1585
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 1: with Matt h I have Trey Burton, and Trey Burton

1586
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:13,800
Speaker 1: is injured right now and the Colts are likely to

1587
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 1: put him on I R. But why am I advocating

1588
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:21,759
Speaker 1: for him as I are you advocating for Guy because weeks.

1589
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: As I mentioned before, I R is different this year.

1590
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 1: You only need to spend three weeks on I R,

1591
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 1: and teams can bring back unlimited players from I R

1592
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: if your league allows I our spots. And this is

1593
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 1: specifically for leagues that do allow I our spots. Don't

1594
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,240
Speaker 1: pick up Trey Burton if you're just in a normal league.

1595
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:39,679
Speaker 1: Pick him up if they allow I our spots. Because

1596
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 1: Philip rivers favorite target in camp when healthy was Trey Burton,

1597
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 1: and it wasn't that close. According to a handful of

1598
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 1: cold speat reporters, Philip Rivers has made a ton of

1599
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 1: viable Fantasy tight end one options Antonio Gates and Hunter

1600
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,879
Speaker 1: Henry just in the last few years, and Frank Reich's

1601
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: offense uses two tight ends more than most. Plus Burton

1602
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: was a big part of his Super Bowl winning offense

1603
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: in Philly a few years ago. Jack Doyle is also

1604
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 1: dinged up. He's missed a ton of time over the

1605
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 1: last few years, and the coaching staff us Burton is

1606
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: more of the Eric Ebron of this offense. And remember

1607
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 1: we're only a year removed from Eric Ebron having thirteen

1608
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 1: touchdowns for the Cold's offense. So I think if Trey

1609
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: Burton's in that role and he comes back healthy, he

1610
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:25,760
Speaker 1: could be a sneaky guy that you could slot in

1611
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:27,840
Speaker 1: as they take a chance on me kind of tight

1612
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:30,680
Speaker 1: end And he definitely will be a premature speculation in

1613
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:34,799
Speaker 1: about week three. All right, Brian, who is your final

1614
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 1: sleeper for the preseason? Now? If you get sniped on

1615
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold? Is your tight end to you? Don't you

1616
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: don't want to pivot to Trey Burton? What you want

1617
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: to pivot to? C Juma? Yeah, he's doing always been

1618
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 1: in Tyler Ibert's Crippled Shadow, Shadow of the Body and

1619
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 1: the Cane. But Ipert's gone. C j Uzoma is the

1620
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:00,760
Speaker 1: guy now at tight end for since the Daddie. And

1621
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 1: if you haven't noticed, they have a new quarterback, I

1622
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 1: mean and no one more number one overall picked Joe

1623
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: Burrow going to massively improve that offense. The Bengals had

1624
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 1: the second easiest schedule for tight ends when it comes

1625
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:14,840
Speaker 1: to strength of schedule for fantasy football, and as Matt

1626
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,679
Speaker 1: talked about earlier in the show, outside of Tyler Boyd,

1627
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:19,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of question marks at wide receiver. A J.

1628
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 1: Green is hurt. They're not even sure who's starting between

1629
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:29,680
Speaker 1: other Mike Thomas always hurt. C j Uzoma could be

1630
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 1: the red zone target for the Bengals going into this season.

1631
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 1: These are deep, deep plays right here at the tight

1632
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: end position. I'm going with Benny Snell. He's the running

1633
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 1: back for the Pittsburgh Steelers and arguably the wobbili is

1634
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:46,360
Speaker 1: starting running back in the NFL's James Conner. His injuries

1635
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:48,640
Speaker 1: are well documented and common knowledge. You know about that.

1636
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 1: He's repeatedly proven that he can't be a workhorse back

1637
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 1: without breaking down. Last year, Pittsburgh only gave him more

1638
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: than fourteen carries two times, and in both of those

1639
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 1: games he got hurt. When he finally came back at

1640
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: the end of the season, Connor was only getting five,

1641
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: eight and six carries in the final three games of

1642
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 1: the season. That's it. Benny Snell locked in. Is the

1643
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:12,640
Speaker 1: number two running back for a good offense, and he

1644
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 1: started two games last year. Benny Snell did eight yards

1645
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:19,680
Speaker 1: and ninety one yards for Benny Snell. I think he

1646
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: is going far, far too late, and he could end

1647
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 1: up emerging as the starting running back either due to

1648
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 1: injury to James Connor, or because Benny Snell just better

1649
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 1: than James Conner. That could be the case. Thanks for listening, everybody.
