Speaker 1: It's uh, We've got We've got prettseason games, action happening.

8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: We're starting to learn stuff and that's part of the

9
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,319
Speaker 1: excitement of the preseason. Fantasy football means more to us

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: than it does to most people. I think the preseason

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: hype just build more and more every year. It's it's

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: truly incredible. It is I I think it's I think

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: it's great too. You know there are people preseason. Yeah,

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: it's not said, it's condensed now and we went from

15
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: four games the games mean more. I think that part

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: is fantastic. Got rid of the terrible fourth game. All

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: that we will give you updates from every team over

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: the last week or so, notable, actionable tidbits from every team,

19
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: all thirty two teams that's coming up momentarily will analyze

20
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: the best and worst offensive lines. That helps you figure

21
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: out which players you gotta be worried about, which you

22
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: feel a little better about. We'll do the Peacock Off,

23
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: bold predictions from each of our hosts that may allow

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: you to do this. There it goes. I'm not sure

25
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: where the the peacocks a little slow today. Briefly there there,

26
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: We just let him out of the cage. Here we go,

27
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: here we go. It's still the preseason for the peacock too. Well,

28
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: in preseason, he's the precock right now. I like that.

29
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: The uh Well to go through our three tough questions

30
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: like we normally do every episode, and players we love

31
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: but we're not willing to pay their average draft position.

32
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Players love the player hate the ADP. So lots of

33
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: great stuff coming up over the course of the show.

34
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Let's begin with a tour through each of the teams

35
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: in the highlights of the last week or so, beginning

36
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: with the Carolina Panthers and Matt Harrison. Uh No one

37
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: is taking charge in the quarterback battle in camp. Baker

38
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: Mayfield still the favorite. The Panthers had to come out

39
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: this week and say publicly that they were not shopping

40
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: Sam Donald but all four, including Matt Corrall and p

41
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: J Walker, are likely to get reps in Saturday night's

42
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: preseason opener. All right, let's go to the Raiders. Darren

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: Waller remains held out of training camp with a hamstring

44
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: injury that's not deemed to be serious, but I'm viewing

45
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: this news as kind of serious. Uh. I want Waller

46
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: out there practicing, So you might be sliding a little

47
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: bit in draft, but I'm I'm gonna remain optimistic and

48
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: he'll be just fine for week one. Sending good vibes

49
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: out there to Darren Waller and his hammy. Yeah, we've

50
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: still got a month before the start of the season,

51
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: so there's a plenty of time for an injury like

52
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: that to to get healthy. And as a veteran, HiT's

53
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: probably okay that he's missing some training camp here, So

54
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: we're not gonna panic yet. And at later in the

55
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: show we will talk about who are and are not

56
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: reliable fantasy tight ends the Packers. Last week we talked

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: about Romeo dobbs Son, so I'm not gonna blavor the

58
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: point that he's probably having the best camp of any

59
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: of the receivers they've got. Romeo dubs or Romeo Dubbs

60
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: Son uh uh. Christian Watson still up practicing because of

61
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: the offseason knee surgery. We've been monitoring the status of

62
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: the two best players on their offensive line as well,

63
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: and we talked about that last week. Elkin Jenkins and

64
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: David back Try both are still in the publist, although

65
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Brian Guda, Kunts general manager, indicated this week that both

66
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: are progressing well. Jenkins appears to be a little ahead

67
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: of bok tr but still no indication whether or not

68
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: those guys are gonna be ready for the start season.

69
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Washington Commanders. The Commanders, Brian Robinson

70
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: is getting more work with the first team offense, and

71
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: this just leads me to believe that this is gonna

72
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: be a true committee approach with Antonio Gibson, j D mckissic,

73
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: and Robinson each getting a fair share of work. It's

74
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: going to be a backfield that I think everyone's gonna

75
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: want to avoid this year. You can get Antonio Gibson cheap.

76
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: He's getting cheaper every day, only getting cheaper. I'll just

77
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: go to Buffalo Brian, a guy we've didn't advocate to

78
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: avoid him, but then he turned out you shouldn't be

79
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: avoiding him, but maybe we shouldn't avoid him again. And

80
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: that's Zack Moss listed as the backup running back on

81
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo's depth chart ahead of James Cook and a lot

82
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: of good stuff coming out of Buffalo camp about Zack Moss.

83
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: If Top Box ends up being great this year, that's

84
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: how it goes. I banged the drum form for two years.

85
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: I will be mad. I have feeling you might be

86
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: mad because I think the reclamation project is in full

87
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: effect right now for Zack Moss. Yeah, is gonna say

88
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: you'd be eating the crow. We do have a crow

89
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: sound effect. Good job which is there, and there's also

90
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: chomping in there. M Yeah, there is very nice. So yeah,

91
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: not a lot coming out of Buffalo right now for

92
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: talking about Zach Moss. But that was the most notable

93
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: thing with the Texans. Despite Damian Pierce getting plenty of

94
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: first team reps, Texans first official depth chart has Rex

95
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: Burkhead and Marlon mack Is the starters. We're gonna talk

96
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more about that situation later in the show.

97
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: Davis Mills earning accolades were being more comfortable in the

98
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: pocket and he has been working specifically on the weaknesses

99
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: that he demonstrated last year. Let's go to a Tampa

100
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: There's there's some shocking news out of Tampa Bay. Yeah,

101
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: of our listeners probably already know. Yeah, Tom Brady left

102
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: camp and he said he's gonna be gone for at

103
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: least ten days. And according to Pro Football Talk, the

104
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: Bucks knew that this was going to happen at the

105
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: beginning of the training camp. I don't buy it. I

106
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: don't buy it either. That then they kept it a secret.

107
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: Why and they want to put that out there that

108
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: Brady is gonna miss a little time during camp. It's

109
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: not gonna be a big deal. We're just getting ahead

110
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: of it now. Could have managed the story a lot.

111
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, people are speculating, Oh, it's not a non

112
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: zero chance that Tom Brady retires before the season starts.

113
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: I agree with that that it's non zero. Of course,

114
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: I picked him first in my Scott Fish Bowl league,

115
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: and that's how it usually goes for me. I think

116
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: that I do agree there's a chance that it works

117
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: out this way for Brady retired before and it is

118
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: you wonder about what it does is his heart fully

119
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: in this It has to be you can't play football. Yeah,

120
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not retiring. Retiring would be I believe

121
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: how many reads. Let's go to the Cleveland Browns, Brian

122
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's Kareem Hunt wants out. He wants to be

123
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: traded as of now, still a Brown. And my angle

124
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 1: on this is if Hunt is to be traded, people

125
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: might immediately jumped to the conclusion that Nick Chubbs is

126
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: going to be this of the touches Bell Coal, But

127
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna be the case. It does

128
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: gonna slide in. Derris Johnson was it's still going to

129
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 1: be a platoon in my mind, and the in rookie

130
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: Jerome Ford. A lot of good stuff coming out of

131
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: camp about Jerome Ford. So there's still gonna It's not

132
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: gonna be all Nick Chubb if Cream ends up getting dealt,

133
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: So don't get too excited if that happens. In Colts

134
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: mini camps, Frank Reich had said that he draft Niheeme

135
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: Hines onto his fantasy team. Remember remember that from a

136
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: couple of months ago. Now reports in camp suggests that

137
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: hines role as a pass catcher will expand significantly. In

138
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: ESPN reporter estimated sixty plus receptions coming for Niheem Hines,

139
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: which if he's going to be in that range, that

140
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: puts him into weekly flex conversations. And what does it

141
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: do to Jonathan Taylor, Well, Taylor wasn't catching a bunch anyway,

142
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: so for me, it doesn't change Taylor's equation a lot um.

143
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack is now gone, so you know, whatever, you know,

144
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: whatever Marlon Mack was tipening off may very well go

145
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: to Himes as well. And I'll note that second round

146
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver like Pierce running with the first team

147
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: offense along with Paris Campbell, Michael Pittman, and Pierce by

148
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: all accounts, has had kind of a typical rookie and

149
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: consistent camp. But he's holding off Austin Doulin. Right now,

150
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Hard Knocks team this year at

151
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: the Detroit line, I feel like everyone knows what's happening

152
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: in their camp, but from Beat reporters, it seems like

153
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: DJ Chark is having a really good camp. He's probably

154
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: third of the Lions wide receivers that will be drafted

155
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: this year. But with Jamison Williams set to miss some

156
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: time early in the year, Chark will have an opportunity

157
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: to make a mark early Chark, Mark Chark, Mark. Let's

158
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: go to the Jets, Brian, if we must. The Jets

159
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: not a ton to report here. They did lose starting

160
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: left tackle McKay Baton. I mean not when it comes

161
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: to skilled position players or fantasy players, but that will

162
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: certainly have an effect on Zack Wilson, Breece Hall, the

163
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: entire offense. Breese all, by the way, like Damian Pierce

164
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: and James Cook and probably every rookie running back was

165
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: it as third running back who you can't read too

166
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: much in tonight's unofficial depth charts, But uh yeah, losing

167
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: McKay Beckton, who was a first round pick in I

168
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: believe eleventh overall, that's not good for the offense overall,

169
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: so dings them a little bit across the board. Let's

170
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: go to the Chiefs. The biggest story in training camp,

171
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: and honestly one of the biggest stories in fantasy football

172
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: right now, is the emergence of rookie running back Isaiah Pacheco,

173
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: who we've mentioned many times on this show. Seventh rounders

174
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: look fantastic both in special teams and it just as

175
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: a running back. He is sharing first team reps with

176
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Laire already well, he's the only rookie running

177
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: back like it was was the first time, a practically

178
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: hope for Breese all and all the other bigger names.

179
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: My sleeper last week looks pretty good right now? Does.

180
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is noted how hard Pasheco runs. We've seen

181
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: him excelling in past protection as well and training camp,

182
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: and we've also seen coaches talk about limiting Clyde Edwards

183
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: Alaire's work load this year to keep him healthier. Man,

184
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: the stars are lined up for this kid. The other

185
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: runners McKinnon, Gore, and Jones are getting entirely second and

186
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: third team raps, and there's an increasing chance day by

187
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: day that your Week one starter could be a combination

188
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: package of Clyde Edwards, Hilaire and I say a Pacheco.

189
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: His a DP has jumped about sixty seventies spots in

190
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: a week. Last week, I bet, I bet, let's go

191
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: to the Seattle Seahawks. Rashad Penny was clearly leading the

192
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: way and snaps with the first team in training camp.

193
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: But now guess what, He's got a groin injury, just

194
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: like Rashad Penny does probably will not play in Saturday's

195
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: preseason game in Pittsburgh, but this could be a big

196
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: opportunity for Ken Walker to kind of show what he's got.

197
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: And the Denver Broncos will be our final team of

198
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: this segment. Oh my bad, Sorry, I thought we were

199
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: going to break Denver Broncos Melvin Gordon his foot. He's

200
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: been sitting out last few days with the foot injury,

201
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: but that's deemed to not be serious. And like the Browns,

202
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: if something were to happen to Gordon, I don't think

203
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: it's of the touches for Javonte Williams either. I still

204
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: think it's a split backfield there and Mike Boone would

205
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: be the next guy in line if something would happen

206
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: in Gordon. But it sounds like Gordon will be okay,

207
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: So uh, nothing major to fred about there with MG three.

208
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: You know, last week we talked about Gordon is maybe

209
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: the safest backup running back you can draft, the most

210
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: reliable backup running back you can draft. He's only getting

211
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: cheaper by the day. It'll probably be fine for Week one.

212
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: Somebody who certainly want to consider when we come back,

213
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: we'll continue our tour through the thirty two NFL teams.

214
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Give you updates from every team's training camp on Fantasy

215
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul

216
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: Charchy and Guillotine Leagues dot Com, Matt Harrison's Shocked Fantasy

217
00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson Guillotine Leagues dot Com. We he ran

218
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: through about half of the NFL teams in the first segment.

219
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: Now we're segment number two. We'll go through the remaining teams.

220
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: The things that have happened since in the weeks since

221
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: our last show, and we left off guys on the rams.

222
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: Reason for trepidation about Matthew Stafford's bulky I love the

223
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: word bulky, bulky. I may work it in a few

224
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: times in this show, like Balky from Perfect Strangers. Yeah,

225
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: he was great, one of my favorites. Yeah. Did you

226
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: know he had a bulky elbow? Oh yeah, bulky belky

227
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: albo elbow. For Stafford continuing to experience discomfort going back

228
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: to last season. And that's why I'm worried is if

229
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: this is a one injury that he's still got paying

230
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: in now, is it gonna be better or worse in October?

231
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: Ready for Tommy John surgery. Let's let's hope that is

232
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: that is not going to be the case. I'll also

233
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: know Darryl Henderson getting a lot of first team reps,

234
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: and it looks like the Rams are gonna try to

235
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 1: be cautious with cam Akers here. It's it's possible that

236
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna see it. Uh, some kind of a time

237
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: share that goes into the season as well. Between those two,

238
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: I bet Stafford has consulted good friend Clayton Kershaw, who

239
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: had Tommy John surgery. Didn't he at some point? I

240
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: don't know if he did. Maybe he's good. You don't

241
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: want to talk about baseball now, Let's go to something

242
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: we know about. That'd be the Philadelphia Eagles. Man. Yeah,

243
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: if you check Twitter, the A. J. Brown versus James

244
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Bradberry battles have been really cool to watch. But the

245
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: big news Jason Kelsey recently had a minor elbow surgery.

246
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: He's hopeful that he's ready for week one. They said

247
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: he might miss a week or two though. Yeah, obviously

248
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: one of the best linemen in league. That would be

249
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: a loss if he can't he's not ready for the

250
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: start of the season. Let's go to Miami Brian. Uh yeah,

251
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: if you're on Twitter and looking at Dolphins Twitter specifically,

252
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: all signs point to them having the greatest offense ever.

253
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: But basically the hype is out of control down in Miami.

254
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: But the player all highlight. Here's Chase Edmonds, who now

255
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: looks like the clear cut RB one for the Dolphins,

256
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: and he's going outside the top twenty four running backs

257
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: right now based on most ADPs. So I think that's

258
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: a draft day steel right now. Um, he looks like

259
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the starter in a very proficient offense.

260
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: It's Mike McDaniel gonna do in Miami what he ultimately

261
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: did in San Francisco, which is, you know, I got

262
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: a lot of running backs, but I'm gonna have a

263
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: workhorse back. And if you can find that workhorse back,

264
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: they're all going at a heavy discount. Well, Edmonds is

265
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: the one who getting paid like a workhorse back, so

266
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: all my all my bets are on him right now.

267
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: In Minnesota, Kirk Cousins has COVID. He had COVID last

268
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: year and missed his only start as a Viking due

269
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: to COVID, so this is a second time around. Presumably

270
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: this is the lightweight version and that he will be

271
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: probably in a week and I think week one is

272
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: in no doubt here, and maybe it's all the better

273
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: that he gets it all the way now and it's

274
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: share even more immunity for for the regular season. Irv

275
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: Smith had surgery on his thumb last week tight end.

276
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: He is targeting a return also around Week one. Lots

277
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: of praise for Kevin O'Connell's offense from nearly all members

278
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: of the Vikings offense, and right now it seems like

279
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: a fresh, new and exciting offense for the Minnesota Vikings.

280
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Dallas Cowboys. Man Travon Diggs quit

281
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: social media, probably because of all the camp video of

282
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: him getting roasted by Ceedee Lamb and Jalen Tilbert. Obviously

283
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: had a lot of interceptions last year, but he's not

284
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: a great cover corner at all, so I love the

285
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: most yards in the NFL's coverage last year. So he's

286
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: sick of everybody bagging on him, so he quit. Let's

287
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: go to the Patriots. Bryan running back James White retired

288
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, um, so he's obviously not playing

289
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: this year. Damien Harris all the sudden rumored to be

290
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: on the trading block or they might trade him. So

291
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: as a result, Ramandre Stevenson has jumped Harris in ADP

292
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: and just surging up draft boards right now. Yeah, I'm

293
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: not totally sure where you know these rumors have come from,

294
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: but the Vegas odds to lead the NFL and rushing touchdowns.

295
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: Romandre Stevenson was fifty two one a week ago and

296
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: now we're sitting it like tender one. So there is there.

297
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people and as we've we've

298
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: often mentioned, we talked a lot about what happens inside

299
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: the five yard line on the show, the infrared zone

300
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: as he likes to call it. No team has run

301
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: more had more running plays inside the five over the

302
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: last seven years than New England Patriots. And if Harris

303
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: is to be traded, um obviously Stevenson huge jumping, massive,

304
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: massive jump off. But Pierre Strong Junior the name to

305
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: keep in mind, rookie running back drafted in the fourth

306
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: round by the Patriots, kind of more of a pass

307
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: catching specialist. He probably will play that James White role,

308
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: even though or Monder Stevenson is a very able pass catcher. Two.

309
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, stock On Stevenson just soaring right now. Let

310
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: me mention a couple of things about James White. That

311
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: had three time Super Bowl champion, only player with the

312
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl walk off touchdown in NFL history, and that

313
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: was the seventeen comeback against the Falcons in which he

314
00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: was targeted sixteen times and caught fourteen passes for one

315
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: ten yards for James White. And get this, eight seasons

316
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: he touched the ball eight hundred times, no fumbles. That's

317
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: how you get into Bill Belichick's good grace, isn't it

318
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: right there? It was a hell of a run for

319
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: James White. And congratulations on a great career. Only thirty

320
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: years old, which is it's old for running back the stick,

321
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's young. But yeah, he's walking away. That's

322
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: for the Saints. Michael Thomas's ankle rehabits on track, he's practicing,

323
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: he's looked great, a lot of positive reports out of

324
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: training camp. It appears likely that he will be ready

325
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: to start Week one. His adp also moving up quickly.

326
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamari's court date has been moved back to October,

327
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: so it's possible the NFL will defer judgment on a

328
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: possible suspension until after that court date. Maybe, but the

329
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: NFL is not beholden to that. They don't need to

330
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: do that, but it's possible that they could. We're gonna

331
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about there to buy Alvin

332
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: Camaro later in this show. Let's go to the New

333
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: York Giants. Man Kenny Golladay is the talk of camp

334
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: for all the wrong adjectives slow, stiff, bad body language,

335
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: zero separation. Some speculated him as a possible cut candidate,

336
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: but they can't cut him for two years because of

337
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: the cap liabilities. But if any team came knocking in

338
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: the trade market, they could have him for nothing. Seventh

339
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: round pick gentleman, seventy million dollars for Kenny Golladay just

340
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: to two off seasons ago. Well, wait, one off season ago.

341
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Tennessee Titans. Nothing but bad things

342
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: being said about eighteenth overall pick wide receiver Traylon Burks,

343
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: who has been not running with the ones. Meanwhile, rookie

344
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver Kyle Phillips, who was drafted in the fifth

345
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: round has been running with the ones. And uh more,

346
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: more bad things to say about Burks. On Thursday Night

347
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, the Titans rested their their normal starters

348
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: Robert Woods and n w Y, but Burks played. Brooks

349
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: also came into the game after Dez Fitzpatrick, Racy McMath

350
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: and the aforementioned Kyle Phillips and just one target on

351
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: thirties thirty snaps for Berks on Thursday night. So stock

352
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: falling right now for Trays, at least in re draft.

353
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: Right now, he's not looking like an immediate impact player.

354
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: And if we're gonna talk about Thursday night, we got

355
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: to talk about Malik Willis. I watched every one of

356
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: his every one of his snaps. The first few throws

357
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: were terrible, and it was all the bad things you've

358
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: ever seen about him. But when he got comfortable, he

359
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: made some He made some eye popping plays with his legs,

360
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: but also had some really nice passes mixed in there.

361
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: And you you saw a player and look, it's only

362
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: the first preseason game his entire career, and nobody's carving

363
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: a bust in Canton here. And I walked in the

364
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: door having seen the highlights from the game, and I

365
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, I'm gonna really watch all of this

366
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: to make sure I'm not just looking at the highlights.

367
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: He looked pretty poised, pretty comfortable, and delivered a lot

368
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: of nice passes. Yeah, he's been falling too far in

369
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues, especially super flexed leagues. He's definitely a project still,

370
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: so I'm not thinking of an immediate even if something

371
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: happens to Tannehill, But yeah, he should be bumped up

372
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: dynasty draft boards based off Thursday night, I agreed for

373
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers what rookie wide receiver George Pickens was listed

374
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: as a starter on the team's first step chart, although again,

375
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: you don't know, we don't know what that really means.

376
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: That Mike Tomlin has gone out to discredit the depth

377
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: that depth chart as well. Sad trombon Sky, It's uh no,

378
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: that's happy. That's happy. That's the happy Trombone right there,

379
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: trending towards the starting job. Well, he is happy about that,

380
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: that's right. Mason Rudolph has looked okay, but it's Mason Rudolph.

381
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: They know that he's not the solution. Kenny Picket appears

382
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: destined to learn from the bench for a while at least,

383
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: and learned from the best hold on. Let's go to

384
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. Matt Cordarol Patterson is getting almost all

385
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: the looks with the top offense. Tyler l Gear and

386
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: Damian Williams are far behind. Both probably just go line

387
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: only options. Also, Kyle Pitts has almost exclusively played wide

388
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: receiver all camp, slot and wide outside. You don't say

389
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals Brian Uh no timetable for Joe Burrows return

390
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: from an appendex to me, but not too concerned about that.

391
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure he will be ready to go come week. One.

392
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: The biggest news from Bengals camp is Lyle Collins, one

393
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: of the three newly acquired elite offensive lineman, has been

394
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: cleared to return to practice. So yeah, you gotta love

395
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: what since he has done this offseason bolstering that offensive line.

396
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: But I might be out on Joe Burrow based on

397
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: his cost in drafts right now. We'll talk about that

398
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: a little later, but that Bengals line is gonna be

399
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: much much improved. Forty Niners. Brandon Ayou getting a lot

400
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: of praise from coaches and teammates, which is the exact

401
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: opposite of what he was getting at this time last year,

402
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: and he had the very slow start to the season.

403
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: Um players and coaches going out of our way to

404
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: praise the player now in his third preseason, looks like

405
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be ready for a fast start to the season.

406
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: But how much passing will we see from Trey Lance?

407
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: By all accounts, Trey lances preseason so far and training

408
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: camp has been inconsistent, especially as a passer. Will the

409
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: forty nineers limit the passing of Trey Lance? That is

410
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: certainly gonna be something we'll be watching closely. Matt. Let's

411
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: go to the Arizona Cardinals. Darryl Williams came over from

412
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City and he's been pretty much absent in training camp.

413
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: Not a bright spot at all. You know, Benjamin looks

414
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: like the clear number two, and he wasn't very good

415
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: in action last year. I think James Conner could be

416
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: an absolute bell cow this year. Ravens. Oh, now, that's

417
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: hang on. We're not to the Ravens yet. That's me, Brian.

418
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't forgetting you Jaguars, please. I love Dan Arnold.

419
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: That's that's about it. It's not not a ton of

420
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: news out of Jaguars camp. James Robinson has been practicing

421
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 1: with the team, but only in individual drills, not team drills.

422
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: So I don't like his chances to be ready for

423
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: week one. Travisy d n the clear cut starter, but

424
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: your guy charge, Snoop Connor, looks me in the line

425
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: for some early season work, a great late round option,

426
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: and I think he pegged that last week. It was

427
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: my sleeper of the week last week, Snoop Connor. Now

428
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: let's go to the Ravens in Thursday night's game. Tyler

429
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: Huntley very sharp. In my mind, Tyler Huntley is the

430
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: only backup quarterback worth drafting, and even then it's in

431
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: bigger leagues because he gives you rushing passing upside. We

432
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: saw him in an extended months so or so of

433
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: starts last year and which he looked pretty darn good.

434
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: And he was on fire on Thursday. The rare handcuff quarterback,

435
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: the rare handcuff quarterback. And if it comes down to

436
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: taking Baker Mayfield or Tyler Huntley, why draft Baker Mayfield?

437
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: You know you can get Tyler Hunley where if you know,

438
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: because in theory, you shouldn't need to start Baker at

439
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: any point in time. Tyler Huntley, if we're anything to

440
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: happen in Baltimore and he's starting games, you know you've

441
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: got a potential top ten quarterback because of the rushing

442
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: passing combo that he brings. Yeah, the Ravens have a

443
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: buy in Week ten, and odds are you're not gonna

444
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: bench Lamar Jackson unless he's hurt. So but even if

445
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: you don't draft Lamar even yeah, I'm with you, Huntley

446
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: is drafted even without Lamar. But if you do draft Lamar,

447
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't the backup. I'm drafting his Tyler Huntley and

448
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: then Baker Mayfield and then I'll worry about it in

449
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: Week ten if you know you can your backup quarterback.

450
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: Totally agree. Last thing I want to mention about the Ravens.

451
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: They've got this rookie tight end who's obviously Mark Andrews

452
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 1: is a elite and this guy is not probably going

453
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: to be a factor this year, but for those in

454
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: Dynasty and Empire leagues keep track of tight end Isaiah Likely.

455
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: He was getting rave reviews in camp and I was like, yeah, whatever,

456
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: he's behind Mark Andrews. Then on Thursday night, guy made

457
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: a couple of great place. They gave him a bubble

458
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: screen to the right and he made it. He made

459
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: a defender who was about two yards away from him

460
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: completely with his whole body and then charge forward. Then

461
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: he made a nice downfield, contested catch on the left

462
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: side of the field. Just you know it's Mark Andrews

463
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: that he's stuck behind. He's a tight end. You know,

464
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: we're not gonna have to remember Isaiah likely for very long,

465
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: but just you know, in deep leagues where you can

466
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: develop guys, let's keep tracking them a little bit. Two

467
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: teams left. Chicago Bears Matt All Pro linebacker ro Kwan

468
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: Smith requested a trade, and Khalil Herbert a k A.

469
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: The ground Bear, has been very impressive in camp. The

470
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: Bears may use him even more this year to spell

471
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: David Montgomery completely miss my my, I totally forgotten, I

472
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: forget about that. I'm glad. We gotta find ways to

473
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: work Snoop Connor into our conversations more. You've you've figured

474
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: it out already, yes, and our final team is going

475
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: to be the San Diego Sorry. Los Angeles Chargers Brian

476
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: Mitchell Palooza. What a great party of that was. That's

477
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: remember that clip is from Yeah, not school, might have

478
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: been old school anyway. Chargers real quick wide receiver Joshua

479
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: Palmer making a splash and baby, a lot of people

480
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: are pegging him for a breakout season, clearly the wide

481
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: receiver three for the charges that if something would have

482
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: happened to Mike Williams or Keenan Allen. We'll talk about

483
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: him later. His name, It's not the last time you're

484
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: gonna hear his name on this show. Thank you for listening.

485
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Plenty more to get to, including next

486
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: segment where we will talk through the peak cock off.

487
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: Two bold predictions from each of our hosts. When we

488
00:26:35,080 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: returned to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back. It is segment

489
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: number three. Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Guillotine Leagues

490
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: dot Com, Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson with me as well.

491
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: If you want to follow us, I'm at Paul Charchion,

492
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison is at Explosive Output, and Brian Johnson is

493
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: at b t x J. Yeah. I wanted to mention

494
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: when the show first started, it's a it's an honor

495
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: to be back. This is my eighth season with a

496
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: couple of years before. I'm at ten man not bad.

497
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: That is a lot of so if we combine all

498
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: of our years together, like fifty six years on the show.

499
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: That's a lot of time, man. I think I gotta

500
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: be creeping up on like Habermeyer and bow Mitchell for

501
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: like most the most years you're as a co host.

502
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: So absolutely true. This is a segment we like to

503
00:27:53,960 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: call the pe cock Off. Two bold predictions for this

504
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: season from each of our hosts that are hopefully grounded

505
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: in some actual legitimate optimism that these are kind of

506
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: come true. Um, that's uh. We call it the peacock Off.

507
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: We should have gone back and listen and figured out

508
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: how we did on our peacock offs last year. But

509
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: somebody will tweet us, somebody wants to that would be great.

510
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: I remember one of mine. I said, Kyle Pitts will

511
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: score more touchdowns Calvin Ridley and they ended up tying

512
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: with one. And you say, you say, will Ridley miss

513
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: half the season? Which yes, but I think it really

514
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: plays that actually would have come true. You could have

515
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: helped Kyle bits score two more, you would. It would

516
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: have been a better like peacock off to say Kyle

517
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: Pitts will score more touchdowns in England than he will

518
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: in the United States. We really got it there, that

519
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: that would have been fantastic. All right, Matt, Matt, let's

520
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: start with you. What is your first pe cock off?

521
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, the third, finishes the year as a top

522
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: and running back. Oh I like it uh. Last year,

523
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: a Seattle running back finished with fifteen or more PPR

524
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: Fantasy points in ten of seventeen games, and the games

525
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: in which they didn't hit that mark, they had third

526
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: stringers Alex Collins and DJ Dallas as the feature backs.

527
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: Chris Carson and Rashad Penny were the ones who did

528
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: that most of the time last year. Now Carson has retired,

529
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: Penny already sitting out with a groin injury, and since

530
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: eighteen he's had a knee strain, a hamstring strain, a

531
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: torn a c l another knee strain, a calf strain,

532
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: and another hamstring strain. He's not very durable. Walker has

533
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: been really good when given the opportunity in camp. They

534
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: say his work in the passing game is much better

535
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: than they anticipated, and fifteen PPR points per game seems

536
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: very manageable for a running back. Running Backs number seven

537
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: through fourteen last year all finished with about fifteen PPR

538
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: points per game. Last year that was Zeke Antonio Gibson,

539
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, Cordarol Patterson, David Montgomery. Kenneth Walker is going

540
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: to finish right in there if he gets the full workload.

541
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: Their top ten running back, all right. It aided by

542
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: the recent groin injury to Rishad Penny. But you know what,

543
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: this is part of the course for him. He doesn't

544
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: get the benefit of the doubt on injuries. You're you're

545
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: getting Walker in the seventh or eighth round right now too.

546
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: I like all of that. Brian, who what is your

547
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: pea cock off? Your first of two pea cock offs?

548
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 1: My first peacock off is se Kwon Barkley will be Now,

549
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: I was gonna say a top three, but I'm going

550
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: to say the top running back in PPR this season

551
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: cover one. So I'm basically predicting he returns to his

552
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: rookie year form ineen, when he was the number one

553
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: overall running back in PPR. And why can't he get there?

554
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: He's still very young. Of course, his career suffered a

555
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: major setback in twenty when he blew out his a

556
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: c L. It affected him last year. Running Backs generally

557
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: take two years to return from such an injury, and

558
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: uh speaking, of injuries. Some people calling him injury Perne

559
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: because he also heard his ankle last year. That was

560
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: a very flukey injury. He stepped on a teammate's ankle

561
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: while gaining like twenty yards on a nice explosive run.

562
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: But he looks great in camp right now. The Giants

563
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: invested heavily in their offensive line in the off season.

564
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: They also have a new head coach, offensive minded. Brian

565
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: Dable was the former o C from the Bills. So

566
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: se Kawan Barkley a guy who in middle March April

567
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: going mid to late third round and creep to wait second,

568
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: and now it's creeped to early second. He's gonna be

569
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: a first round pick in a couple of weeks. If

570
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: not there already. I mean, I love se Kwon Barkley.

571
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: Where you're still a great value late in the side

572
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: or early in the second round. Right now. My first

573
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: of two Pete cock offs tray A Lance both finishes

574
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: a top five Fantasy order back this year. This one,

575
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: I think you're crazy. Just this one, just this one

576
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: was this one. Uh, here's how it's gonna happen. He's

577
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: going to rush a lot. This is a rush first offense.

578
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: And he's going to do plenty of running. In his

579
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: two starts last season, he ran twenty four times for

580
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: one hundred twenty yards. I have reason to believe that

581
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: is a sixty yard per game average. In the average

582
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: five yards per carry, that would put him on pace

583
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: for a thousand yard rushing season out of a quarterback

584
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 1: trade Lance. Now let's just let's let's assume he's not

585
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna drop thirty passing touchdowns, because now we'd be talking

586
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: about him being QB one. Instead, let's assume Tray Lance

587
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: is going to be more like a twenty two touchdown passer,

588
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: a limit a modest passer, consistent with most quarterbacks first year. Well,

589
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: the beauty of it is all he has to do

590
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: is get the hands the paul in the hands of

591
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: his playmakers. He's got so many playmakers who will make

592
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: up for the differential in talent that he may have

593
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: as a first year passer. George Kettle, Brandon I, Deebo Samuel,

594
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: all players who can do special things after the catch.

595
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't need him to be Joe Montana. I just

596
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: need to be a guy who'll get the ball in

597
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: the hands of his players, and Trey Lance will end

598
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: up with solid passing numbers and possibly fantastic rushing numbers

599
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: and will finish is a top five quarterback. Matt your

600
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: second of two Pete cock offs. Adam Theland is a

601
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver one UH. Theland is currently going off the

602
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: board at number seventy three, first pick in the seventh round.

603
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: A DP wide receiver number thirty one off the board.

604
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: And all he's done for you in the last twenty

605
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: eight games that he's played to score twenty four touchdowns,

606
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: just almost a touchdown per game. And that was in

607
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: the run, first run, second run, early and off in

608
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer offense. And now he's got new head coach

609
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell, a former quarterback, former Rams offensive coordinator. He's

610
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: ready to pass the ball, especially near the stripe. When

611
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: he was at the Rams last year, Kevin O'Connell's offense

612
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: through the ball inside the ten yard line the second

613
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: most in the league. Cooper Cup, who lines up similarly

614
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: to Theelan on the field, led the league in inside

615
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: the ten targets. Now the question for Theland has always health.

616
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: Can he stay in the field for seventeen games? If

617
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 1: he can, double digit touchdowns are lock because he did

618
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: that in each of the last two seasons. The only

619
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: there was only seven other wide receivers to hit the

620
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: ten touchdown mark last year, and from a ppg's perspective,

621
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: points per game, feeling was pretty much even with Tee Higgins,

622
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, Mike Williams. All of those guys are getting

623
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: drafted as wide receiver ones. Why not Adam feeling? I

624
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: like it? See I like yours. You don't like mine?

625
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: I know because mine makes more sense. There's that Brian

626
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: your second two Pea cock offs. Philadelphia's Dallas Goddard will

627
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: finish as a top four tight end. I can't say

628
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: top three because he's not gonna to beat out Kelsey

629
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: Andrews and my boy Kyle Pitts. But he's gonna finish

630
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: his number four. Uh. Last year he finished his tight

631
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: end eight, which doesn't sound that far off from top four,

632
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: but when it comes to points scored, it was a lot,

633
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: trust me, between top four and top eight, But a

634
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: lot of things weren't going Goddard's way last year. Of course,

635
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: zach Ertz was on. The Eagles were about half of

636
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: the season, soaking up half of the tight end targets.

637
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: Goddard was also often dinged up. UH missed two games

638
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: entirely due to injury, and as a result he only

639
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: saw seventy six targets. But if he can get bumped

640
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: up to that one hundred plus target range, which I

641
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: think happens, all the metrics are there for a breakout

642
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: year for Goddard if he can get that volume. He

643
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: averaged two point two points per target in PPR leagues.

644
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: That's an excellent numbers per target for Goddard. He also

645
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: was second in yards per reception among tight ends at

646
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: fourteen point nine yards. He was first in yards per

647
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,479
Speaker 1: rout run among tight ends, and you let all tight

648
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: ends and completed air yards per target at six point four.

649
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: And now with a J. Brown UH in Philly at

650
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver along with Davonte Smith, they're gonna take up

651
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: a lot of attention from opposing defenses. And of course

652
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:20,959
Speaker 1: no zaccurates anymore Dallas Goddard going around tight end seven eight,

653
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: maybe nine. But I think he's got that top four

654
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: potential this year. I agree with that too. I'm with you.

655
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: I don't even it doesn't even sound that bold when

656
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: you frame it up that way. Mission accomplished our final

657
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 1: peacock off. I posed to you my Fantasy Football weekly

658
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: co host. Is Royce Freeman a particularly good running back.

659
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: No Is Dari Goomba Wally a particularly good running back.

660
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: No Is Marlon Mack particularly good running back? Maybe at

661
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: one time is Rex Burke head particularly good running back?

662
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: He wasn't. Week seventeen. I used him as my take

663
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: on player and it hit for some guy you insssisted

664
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: on Venmos. That's awesome to be clear, all of that together,

665
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: that's the competition. We should put our Venmo hands hipping

666
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: Twitter at bt x J eight one. I won't be

667
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: opposed to it. Those are the players Damian Pierce has

668
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: for competition for carries in Houston. He's already running with

669
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: the first team often in practice. Damian Pierce Houston Texans. Now.

670
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: I know everybody's like it's the Texans. I don't want

671
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: any part of the Texans. Hey, that was last year,

672
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: overhauled coaching staff, improved offensive line, put a first rounder

673
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: into the offensive line. I'll remind you of that. And

674
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce are pretty is a pretty uniquely gifted back.

675
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: He is a big body back who can easily be

676
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: built for goal line use. He runs inside very well

677
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: and surprisingly soft hands. In college, they threw to him

678
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: downfield frequently. I've talked about him last week too. I'm

679
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna keep talking about Damien Pierce until I'm proven wrong.

680
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: Great opportunity for a player who, at a minimum should

681
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: get goal line use. And to make official my prediction here,

682
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: as in my peacock off, I predict Damien Pierce will

683
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: finish as an RB two this year, which puts him

684
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: as the top twenty four running back. I'm totally with

685
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: you on this one. Char Wow, Alright, it's not all

686
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: just not all personal. Alright, good Matt. We promised to

687
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: talk about the best and worst offensive lines. Tell me,

688
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: let's know what the best. Yeah, let's start with the best.

689
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: So I took a look at the top and bottom

690
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: five offensive lines from both Pro Football Focus and Football Guys.

691
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: I mashed them together. I came up with a couple

692
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: of teams that you might want to bump up and

693
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: down a few spots on your cheat sheet. There were

694
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: three teams that were in the top five in both lists.

695
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: Number one overall on both was Philadelphia. That's Jalen Hurts

696
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: A J. Brown. Devanta Smith, Dallas Goddard, Miles Sanders, Kenny

697
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: Gainwell um and talked a little bit about Dallas Goddard.

698
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: He might be the guy who is maybe in the

699
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: best position here. He's a tight end who doesn't have

700
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: to stay in and block. He's got the best offensive

701
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: line in the league. He can go, he can go

702
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: out there. Add that to your Dallas Goddard absolutely there,

703
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: and with zach Ertz fully out of the picture, Goddard

704
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: could be looking at a huge volume year. Uh. The

705
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: next team, This one was a little bit of a surprise,

706
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Lions, you said, DeAndre Swift, T. J. Hockenson, Hman,

707
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: ros St Brown, d J. Chark, Jamison Williams and Jared Goff.

708
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: Hockinson the same way should be free to catch passes

709
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: for the same reason Goddard is and Jared Goff might

710
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: be operating behind the best offensive line he's ever had.

711
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 1: In most single quarterback fantasy leagues, he's not even being drafted.

712
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: But look at the weapons around him, and look at

713
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: the line, and if Goff can't get it done this year,

714
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: well he's He's a backup for the remainder of his career.

715
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 1: This is probably this is it for Jared Off. He's

716
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: got to perform this year. That doesn't necessarily mean he will,

717
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: but you're right. You make a great case that behind

718
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: that offensive line, with the weapons around him, golf is

719
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: gonna be startable from time to time. If you can

720
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,959
Speaker 1: pick the right spots, that could make a lot of sense.

721
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: And if you slough quarterback completely or you're just looking

722
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: for your backup, he's gonna be a take a chance

723
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: on me quarterback several times this year. And if you've

724
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: been watching Hard Knocks, there is a vibe in Detroit

725
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: right now. I've bought him. I think most people who

726
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: have been watching the Hard Knocks believe that there's gonna

727
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: be a big jump for the Lions this year. I'll

728
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: finish up with the one more offensive line that is

729
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: really great, and that's the Cleveland Browns, uh Nick Chubb,

730
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt, Jacoby Brissette, Slash QB. Brown's, Amari Cooper and

731
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: David and Joku. I mean, Chubb's the guy. If Hunt

732
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 1: has traded before the season begins, I think Brian said

733
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: Dearnest Johnson probably hops into that Hunt role. But if QB.

734
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: Brown's is cleared to play, it's the best old line

735
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: that he's ever had. You never had one like that,

736
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,919
Speaker 1: and he was in And if it's Jacoby Brissett, I mean, well,

737
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: he spent all those years in India with a great

738
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: offensive line, so we know exactly what we're getting. Also,

739
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: David and Joku is the last tight end in a

740
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: DP that I think I draft, and it gets scary

741
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: after that, but in Joku for the same reason, probably

742
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: won't have to stay in and block too much. I

743
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: will mention that the other teams that were mentioned as

744
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: top five teams but didn't make both lists Tampa Bay,

745
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: who just lost their starting center Ryan Jensen, probably for

746
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,479
Speaker 1: the year. Green Bay both of their starting tackles David

747
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: Baktier and Elgton Jenkins are dealing with some injuries from

748
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: last year, which we've mentioned a few times. Kansas City,

749
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 1: the interior line is awesome, but Orlando Brown and Lucas

750
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: niang our average at best tackles. And then New Orleans

751
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: who came in at number four on Football Guys rankings

752
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: but number twenty one on Pro Football Focuses rankings. They

753
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: lost Tarrant Armstead, which is a hug. Well, I know,

754
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure who to believe here, but these

755
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: are pro football focuses rankings of this year's offensive line,

756
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: like this year's version. So I do know that their

757
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: new tackle, Trevor Penning, likes to get in fights. He

758
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: was kicked out of training camp for getting in fights

759
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: with his own players too much. But yeah, New Orleans

760
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: is definitely an interesting one with Kamara, Jamis Winston and

761
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: all those receivers. So, uh, we can maybe talk the

762
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: bottom defensive or offensive lines a little bit later in

763
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: the show. We'll have to do those a little bit later.

764
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: I do value I put I put a premium on

765
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: players behind a great offensive line. And why I believe

766
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: the Bengals can be one of the safer offenses is

767
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: because of that a blend of good players in it,

768
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: which should be a very good offensive line. And I,

769
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, I value safety. That's always, you know, always

770
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: one of the sure things that we want to try

771
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: to get to without a doubt. And you know, we'll

772
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: talk about the bad offensive lines. It affects my rankings

773
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 1: as well. You know, we've we've seen lots of players

774
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: who struggle when you have to make up your own yards.

775
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: And a little teaser on the bad offensive lines. A

776
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: lot of them are ones you'd expect, but there's one

777
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: offensive line that everybody's drafting lots of players from this team,

778
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 1: and I'm a little afraid of them, now, are you? Yeah?

779
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: All right, So well, we'll keep our we'll keep our

780
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: eyes out for that three Tough questions when we come back.

781
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: There's a game in which I Pepper my co host,

782
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: with three tough questions, as the name suggests, and you

783
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: can try to play along. See if you can go

784
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: three and oh. We'll talk to you about the players

785
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: we love and the players and we love, but we

786
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: can't draft them because of where they're going in the drafts.

787
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: Love the player, hate the ADP. That's coming up a

788
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: little later as well, and we'll release our favorite sleepers

789
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: later in this show as well. If you haven't tried

790
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: a guillotine yet, Guillotine leagues dot com, it's your chance

791
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 1: to play. You've heard me talk about this format before.

792
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 1: Instead of playing, you had to had eight teen teams

793
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: start the season below scoring team gets cut every week

794
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: and their players go to the waiver wire, where pandemonium

795
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: breaks out. As you are now bustler to try to

796
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: get some of the elite players across the league and

797
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: build a superstar roster Guillotine Leagues dot com. It's not

798
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: like any other way you've played season long fantasy. And

799
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,919

Speaker 1: Shock Fantasy dot Com. I like the sound of that.

811
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: There is a game we call three Tough Questions. I

812
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: will pepper my co host, with three tough questions, beginning

813
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: with and play along. By the way, Tough Question number one,

814
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: it's picked twenty in your draft, So it's picked twenty

815
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: where at the end of the second round of most drafts.

816
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: Alvin Camarre is available. That's his ADP pick twenty. We

817
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: don't know the status of his possible suspension. Are you

818
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 1: pulling the trigger at pick twenty, Matt? So, I looked

819
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: up the ADP and I saw that Camara was sitting there,

820
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: and then I looked to the guy after him as

821
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: sa Kwan Barkley, And we just got done listening to

822
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,240
Speaker 1: Brian's he's gonna be running back one Overall Kwon Barkley

823
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: is there, I'm taking him. If Aaron Jones is there,

824
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm taking him. If Mark Andrews is there, I'm taking him.

825
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: Point is, there's too many good players at the end

826
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: of the second for me to spend it on a

827
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 1: guy with a looming four to six game suspension. Maybe

828
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take Alvin Camara there, all right, Brian,

829
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: Alvin Kmart's picked twenty, he's on the board. Are you

830
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: taking him? Yes, I am, and I'm taking him even

831
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: sooner than that. The only running back. If I'm going

832
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: running back early second round, if se Kwon Barclay isn't there,

833
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm taking Alvin Kamara. Overall the other guys that Matt

834
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: just mentioned I'm I'm just going into this. His earliest

835
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 1: court date is gonna be October. I just don't think

836
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: this doesn't get settled outside of the lines off the field,

837
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: whether it's charges a settlement until the season is over.

838
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: I think he plays the whole year, and he's worth

839
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: the risk at at pick twenty and even earlier to

840
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: me where yeah, I would take him there. And uh again,

841
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: I think I think he plays the full year and

842
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that can be a true

843
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: bell cow. There's only a handful at running back, and

844
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: if Kamara is not suspended and healthy, which is the

845
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: case as of right now, uh, he's gonna be the

846
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: bell cow and what should be a very good offense

847
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: behind a a pretty good offensive line, which which we

848
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: discussed in the last segments. So yes, the answer is yes.

849
00:46:55,560 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: For me, like you, I don't believe the suspension. He

850
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: may be zero games, but it feels like one game,

851
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: two games. He punched a guy, which compared to a

852
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: serial sexual predator potentially getting six games. You know, it

853
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: feels like nothing. So if my it to me, my

854
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: guess is we're going to be in the zero one

855
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,439
Speaker 1: to missed games for Alvin Kamara for this year. And

856
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: this is how you win leagues by getting elite players

857
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:30,959
Speaker 1: that have something that is causing the the or dark

858
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: cloud that yes, and the tepid, the frightened, easily frightened

859
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: to stay away from them. If you can get a

860
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: deal on an elite, proven fantasy player, I think you'd

861
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: take it. Now, imagine this. If he does get the zero,

862
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: the one or the two games suspension, he's gonna rock

863
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: it like you know, eight ten spots. He's gonna move

864
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: from the back of the second round of the first

865
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: of the second round you're getting You're getting a steel

866
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: end of second round. The correct dance here is yes,

867
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: we are pulling the trigger. Tough question number two, how

868
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 1: many reliable tight ends are there this year? Now, Brian,

869
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: before that, before you answer, you know, listeners might be saying, well,

870
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: what does reliable means? Here's the reliable means in my

871
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: mind to frame up this question a little bit further,

872
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: You're not You're going into the weekend feeling pretty confident

873
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a good result from your tight end,

874
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: which for the most of the last like four years,

875
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: most of us don't walk into our weekend feeling like

876
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna go that way. So when I say reliable,

877
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: you have a you have a reasonable reason to believe

878
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: you're gonna get good productivity out of your tight end

879
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: this week. Now, I was just pumping up Dallas got

880
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: got her in the last segment. But he's not on

881
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: my list of I think he can get to this

882
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: list of short list of reliable tight ends. He has

883
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: that potential, he's not on it right now. But for me,

884
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 1: right now, it's only four and it's Travis Kelsey, Mark Andrews,

885
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, and Darren Waller. Those are the tight ends

886
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: who are basedly wide receivers, meaning they take seventy eight

887
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,720
Speaker 1: even of their snaps either from the slot or outside.

888
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: They're not relied on for blocking really, it's just they

889
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: are past catching tight ends who are the ones you

890
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: basically would never bench regardless of matchup. There are other

891
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: tight ends, and some people might be saying, where was

892
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: George Kittle on this list? And we'll talk about him

893
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: a little later in the show. Why don't have him

894
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: on this list? But for me for reliable tight ends,

895
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: and I got other guys with the potential. But going

896
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: into the season right now, I just got the four. Okay, Matt,

897
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: how many reliable tight ends are there this year? You

898
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: never give us like what you're reliable means, and then

899
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 1: you spring it to us on the show. So I

900
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: was looking at it. Do you judge reliability has no

901
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: questions surrounding them at all? Because if that's the case,

902
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: there's none because Kelsey lost Tyreek, Kittle as injury history

903
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: with Andrey Lance Pitts has no line in Marcus Mariota,

904
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:01,399
Speaker 1: Andrews lost Hollywood. So my my four that I had

905
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 1: similar to Bryan's Kelsey, Pitts, Andrews, and I have Kittle

906
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 1: over Waller because I just don't trust Waller's injury history

907
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: right now. Um, But none of these players has a

908
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: perfect road here, but they're all just individually talented enough

909
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: to overcome these obstacles for me. So I'll say four.

910
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: All right, so you guys have four? Correct answer is

911
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: seven reliable tight ends this year? Uh. In addition to

912
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: the four we've already talked about, Dallas Goddard is in

913
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: for me for the reasons Brian elucidating earlier in this show,

914
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: you certainly convinced me zach Ertz should be in. He

915
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: finished since his trade forward. He was tight end five

916
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: last year. He was a reliable player, and nobody included

917
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. Eighty receptions last year, eight hundred yards and

918
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns. Those are very good tight end numbers and

919
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: they should only go up with the dearth receiving talent.

920
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 1: Which one did you not have between Waller and Kittle?

921
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: Then Wallers out, Waller's out and Kittles in. And I

922
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: know Kittle Scott does have his own history of surgery,

923
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:06,760
Speaker 1: but when when healthy, he is absolutely reliable. Producer questions,

924
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: they all they have every player. You can find a

925
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: question mark on every player. Reliable means I put him

926
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 1: in my lineup and I don't have night sweats going

927
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: into the weekend. Those are the seven tight ends that

928
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:23,479
Speaker 1: won't keep you awake nights. Tough question Number three. If

929
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: this season were to play out nine times, Oh, it's

930
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 1: the nine times game. It is the nine time game.

931
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: It's back. If this season were to play out nine times,

932
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: how many times would Gabriel Davis outscore Stefan Diggs Matt

933
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: So In limited regular season action as the third or

934
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: fourth wide receiver in Buffalo, Davis has seven and six

935
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his two seasons, and that's just regular season.

936
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: He had five in the playoffs last year. So that's

937
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: eighteen touchdowns total in two years as the third or

938
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: fourth option at best. Diggs has never been known as

939
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: a huge end zone guy, but his two years in

940
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 1: Buffalo he's been very solid. Eight and ten touchdowns. That's

941
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: really good. But he's not gonna suddenly put up like

942
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: sixteen touchdowns in a season. So I think that this

943
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,959
Speaker 1: is pretty close. Uh, they both average about nine touchdowns

944
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:23,479
Speaker 1: per year. I think Davis would take four of the nine.

945
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 1: It's pretty close, but I will give Digs the slight edge.

946
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: He'll get five of the nine. Davis we'll get four.

947
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, if they were to play out this season,

948
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: how many times with Gabriel Davis outscores Stefon Diggs. So

949
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: the last time we saw Gabe Davis in the Digital

950
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: Round against Chiefs, I remember that game. He had eight

951
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: catches for two d one yards and four touchdowns. Now,

952
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 1: of course we must extrapolate this over a seventeen game.

953
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: Now he's so we're looking at and this is scientific fact.

954
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: Here one and thirty six catches for three thousand, four

955
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy yards and touchdowns just one shy of

956
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: sixty nine for Gabriel Davis. And if he reaches those numbers,

957
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: but you could, I'm gonna guess he outscores stef On

958
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: Diggs nine out of nine. Of course, I'm kidding here, Um,

959
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: I basically agree with Matt. I think Davis is on

960
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: the op and up. But Diggs is still the queer

961
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: wide receiver, one who opposing defenses can't afford to just

962
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: roll all the coverage onto Stephen Diggs either. So I'm

963
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna go a little less than Matt and say Davis

964
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: would outscore Diggs three of the nine times. If you

965
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: played it out nine times, the correct answer is exactly

966
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: three times. Gabriel Davis is has the potential to get

967
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: the touchdown productivity that we haven't seen from Stefon Diggs.

968
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: Diggs still a special player, obviously, and we trust him

969
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 1: a lot more for receptions and yards, but never been

970
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: somebody with the high touchdown upside that's for Gabriel Davis

971
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: can eat into it. Current. A key differential is sixty

972
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: picks between the two five rounds, exactly sixty picks. That

973
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: gives a I think if I would ask, would you

974
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 1: rather pay a DP twelve or a d P seventy five.

975
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: I think we'd all take Gabriel Davis at seventy five, right,

976
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 1: I think so it sounds that does make sense. All right, Matt,

977
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: let's go back to your Let's go back to your

978
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 1: off your offensive line analysis from last segment. Last segment,

979
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: you highlighted the best offensive lines. Now let's go for

980
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: the ones that people should show some caution on. Now

981
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: let's go for the jugular, the consensus bottom five offensive lines.

982
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with Seattle, uh my guy, Ken Walker,

983
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Rashad Penny, no offense, Geno Smith

984
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: or Drew lock Let's give two backup quarterbacks of bottom

985
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: five offensive line and see what happens. Let's give a

986
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: running back who gets injured every three games of bottom

987
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: five offensive line and see what happens. How much of

988
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett's production was tied to Russell

989
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: Wilson's ability to just keep up play a live Yeah,

990
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: a lot that. I'm very scared of Dk Metcalf this year.

991
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: I'm completely off of Tyler Lockett. He won't be on

992
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: any of my teams. Well, I'm gonna jump in for

993
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: the second because we talked about this in our off

994
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: season Fantasy Football Weekly, for whatever it's worth. And the

995
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:26,760
Speaker 1: Geno Smith starts last year, he played three full games,

996
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: yet about half of another game d Cat. It was

997
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: all all dk Metcalf. He was a top ten wide

998
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: receiver in three of those four weeks. That is, until

999
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: Drew Lock becomes the quarterback at some point that they're

1000
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna go back and forth. It's gonna be strange.

1001
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't see. I don't think Drew Locks is good

1002
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: enough to look. I don't think Geno Smith is great,

1003
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: but I don't think Drew Lock is good enough to

1004
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: even take it. Could be Uh, second team that was

1005
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:55,760
Speaker 1: on the consensus bottom five offensive lines. That's the Chicago Bears. Uh,

1006
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: that's David Montgomery, Justin Fields, Darnell Mooney, and Cole Commet.

1007
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 1: The Bears are just in full tank mode. And it's

1008
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: weird because they spent a ton of draft capital to

1009
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: draft Justin Fields and then they're going to serve him

1010
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: to the Wolves for like two to three years. It's

1011
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: just bizarre him. The good news is the four guys

1012
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,839
Speaker 1: that I mentioned likely are their only fantasy producers. So

1013
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: there's very little guesswork and what you have to do

1014
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: a little nervous that Cole Commet might not be able

1015
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: to get out in coverage enough because he's back blocking

1016
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh. The offensive line that maybe scares

1017
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: me the most out of all the teams this year

1018
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 1: consensus bottom five offensive line the Las Vegas Raiders UH

1019
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Davante Adams, Hunter Renfro, Darren Waller, Jock Jacobs

1020
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: or Zamir White. The Raiders have had. The Raiders did

1021
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: have a very good offensive line. They blew it up,

1022
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,399
Speaker 1: and they blew it up. They shipped away almost all

1023
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 1: of it in the last year and a half. They

1024
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 1: had one first rounder, Alex Leatherwood, playing guard. Last year,

1025
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: he was the second lowest graded guard by Pro Football Focus.

1026
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: So what do you do? You shift him to right tackle.

1027
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: Let's just have him learn a new position and you know,

1028
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: tackle mape might be a little bit more important. Does

1029
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: this possibly hurt Darren Waller the most out of everybody?

1030
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: They might have to a keep him into block or

1031
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: be maybe he's just not on the field and Foster

1032
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: morose into block. Davante Adams has never played on a

1033
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: team with an offensive line this bad. Ever, I'm really

1034
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,479
Speaker 1: nervous about the Raiders. So um, and then the other

1035
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: teams that were receiving votes. There's four more that Uh,

1036
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: we're on one list, but not the other. The Pittsburgh Steelers.

1037
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: They haven't fixed that line in years, so will either

1038
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: be Sad Trombone Ski or rookie Kenny Pickett trying to

1039
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: run for their lives. Atlanta they're another team in rebuild.

1040
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: Their quarterbacks are a little bit more mobile than some

1041
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: others we've time about the base, so they might be

1042
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: oddly equipped for this weakness, but they're gonna be running

1043
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: for their lives. Uh. The New York Giant. It's football

1044
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: guys had them ranked as their worst offensive line. Pro

1045
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: Football Focus had them at twenty, so kind of in

1046
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: the middle. Andrew Thomas and Evan Neil at least appear

1047
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: to be their tackles of the future, and if both

1048
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: are fine, I think they're gonna be okay. Well wait,

1049
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: I I just just moments ago I heard the take

1050
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: Kawon Barkley's be the highest scoring running back and they

1051
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: got two good tackles. Hey, this is somebody else's ranking

1052
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: about the Giants being the worst, I think that there

1053
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: they might be in there. I'm not saying that they're

1054
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: the worst or the best or anything like that. I'm

1055
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm just a bunch of those like fifteen catch games

1056
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: at Barkley had that's what we need. Uh. And then

1057
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: Jacksonville they gained Brandon Schurf, but they lost their best

1058
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: lineman in Brandon Linder to retirement. Trevor Lawrence might be

1059
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: skittish again this year, and so a little nervous about

1060
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Still, I like that the Giants added Evan

1061
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: Neil that could help they you know, it's not like

1062
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: they haven't tried. No, they put draft picks, they put fevers,

1063
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 1: and they've tried it just to this point has not

1064
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: worked out very well. All Right, when we come back,

1065
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: plenty more to get to over the course of the show,

1066
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: including we love the player, but we hate the average

1067
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,959
Speaker 1: draft position. Players we love but players were not willing

1068
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: to pay for find out who they are. When we

1069
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

1070
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 1: Paul Charchie and Guillotine leagues dot Com. Brian Johnson Guillotine

1071
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: Leagues dot Com. Mat Harrison shocked Fantasy. Thank you for listening.

1072
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: You're number eight for this particular Oh. This segment is

1073
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 1: called love the player, hate the average draft position. We're

1074
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna give you a player at every position that week.

1075
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: We love the guy, we'd happily take him on a roster,

1076
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: but where they're being drafted is just too high. We

1077
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: begin at the quarterback position, Matt who is your first

1078
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: Love the player, hate the ADP? I have Lamar Jackson here,

1079
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: and um, I hate the ADP because as the fourth

1080
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: quarterback off the board at the fourth fifth round turn,

1081
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: there's still too many good running backs and wide receivers here. Uh.

1082
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: Jackson was more dinged up last year than ever. Had

1083
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: a back injury in Week four, had an ankle sprain

1084
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: in Week fourteen that knocked him out for the rest

1085
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: of the season. He only had two multiple passing touchdown

1086
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: games last year. Uh. He only topped two hundred seventy

1087
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: yards three times in thirteen games. He lost his best

1088
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver in Hollywood Brown, and they replaced him with nothing.

1089
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: And he's in a contract year and he's his own agent.

1090
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: And if he had an agent, an agent might tell you, hey,

1091
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: protect yourself, make sure you're going You're gonna be healthy

1092
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: going into free agency. He's got to tell himself that.

1093
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: And will he listen to himself? Will he protect his body?

1094
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: Will the injuries creep back up? There's too many questions

1095
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: for the fourth quarterback off the board makes sense. Lamar Jackson,

1096
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: we talked about if you're gonna take him Tyler Tyler Huntley.

1097
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: I like that play up. Tyler Hontley is the way

1098
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 1: to go. Okay, Brian, your love the player, hate the

1099
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: ADP quarterback. I alluded to this earlier. I love Joe

1100
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Burrow in reality football, but I hate his ADP and

1101
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: fantasy football. This year, it's right around A seventy five,

1102
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 1: which is early seventh round, and he's going off the

1103
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: board around quarterback eight. And it has nothing to do

1104
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: with the appendex To me, I'm sure he's gonna be

1105
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: fine Week one. I love what the Bengals did by

1106
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: bolstering their offensive line a lot. I'm just not taking

1107
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: a non mobile quarterback. And I say non mobile. He's athletic,

1108
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: but they don't design runs for Joe Burrow. They don't

1109
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: want him blowing out his knee again in the early

1110
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 1: seventh round. And he's got two great receivers, I know,

1111
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: but the position is just way too deep for me.

1112
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: Give me Derek Carr or Kirk Cousins and round many

1113
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: later rounds. Then where Burrows going. They are comparable enough

1114
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: for me and for what it's worth, and it's worth

1115
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: something to me. The Bengals had the easiest strength of

1116
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: schedule for quarterbacks last season, going into this year, they

1117
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: have the toughest strength of schedule for quarterbacks, and it's

1118
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: especially brutal in the second half of the season for Burrow.

1119
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna dive too deep into the schedule. But

1120
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: so if if you do draft Burrow and he gets

1121
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 1: off to a hot start, might be a guy you

1122
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 1: want to sell high on in the early months of

1123
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: the season. But I just Burrow is going too early

1124
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: for me. I'll wait on the quarterback rather than taking him. Well,

1125
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: if you don't like Burrow, it pick what did you say?

1126
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 1: Seventy five? You're for all the same reasons you're not

1127
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: gonna like Justin Herbert at thirty seven. Justin who of

1128
01:02:55,640 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 1: course one of my justinair quarterback three pick thirty seven,

1129
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: I'd take exactly. It's a lot of the same with

1130
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: Herbert now Herbert doesn't run a little. He's three touchdowns

1131
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: a year, three rushing yards a year, you know, so

1132
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: it's not like he's totally immobile, but he's certainly not

1133
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: a rushing quarterback. And I just can't pay that kind

1134
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: of premium price pick thirty seven for a non rushing quarterback,

1135
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 1: and it picked thirty seven. Look at the other players

1136
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: that are sitting there. If I want a tight end,

1137
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: if I want a difference maker a tight end, I

1138
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: can take George Kittle. If I want a massive PPR receiver,

1139
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: I can take Deonte Johnson. If I want to have

1140
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: a young, potentially uber talented wide receiver, I could take

1141
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle pick thirty seven. All guys that are gonna

1142
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: be there. I can't put a pick thirty seven against

1143
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can't get me rushing yards and rushing

1144
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns and passing productivity. Let's go to the running back position.

1145
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: Matt who is a player you love of but won't

1146
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: draft because of his average draft position. I don't hate

1147
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, despite what Twitter thinks right now, but I

1148
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 1: won't draft him at pick number two or at pick

1149
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: number one, which a lot of people are saying, yeah,

1150
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: draft CMC at pick number one. He's missed twenty three

1151
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: games with injury in the last two seasons. He's only

1152
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: played ten. Those injuries are September right high ankle sprain,

1153
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: November a c joint sprain in his shoulder, December thigh strain,

1154
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: September one hamstring strain, November twenty one, left high ankle sprain.

1155
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: He's sprained both ankles. Those are recurring injuries. By the way,

1156
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: ankles uh in seven games last year, and he played

1157
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: seven last year. He only scored twice two touchdowns total.

1158
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: Hasn't had a one yard rushing day since Week ten

1159
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,959
Speaker 1: of two thousand nineteen. That was two years, nine months,

1160
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: and two days ago. The folks that sports injury predictor

1161
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: gave him an eight four percent chance of injury where

1162
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: he misses at least two quarters this year. I mean,

1163
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: the upside is massive. He could be the best fantasy

1164
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: player in the league of healthy. But the risk is

1165
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 1: what kills you. Just ask anyone who's drafted, oh, Christian

1166
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: McCaffrey in the last two years. Yeah, or the guillotine

1167
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 1: league bid on Christian mccaffy got him, you get cut.

1168
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: He's back to free agency, somebody else bids him, they

1169
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: get you. Guys have to have the stats about how

1170
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 1: many times Christian McCaffrey was picked up in fab bless

1171
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: the old Yeah it was uh yeah, we we did.

1172
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: We actually looked at this well the last two years

1173
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: we always talked about the most chopped players and McCaffrey

1174
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: was like on the list every week, every week, essentially

1175
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: every absolutely. We encourage you to check out the Chop podcast.

1176
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: By the ways, great, it is great. Thank you very much.

1177
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: We we couldn't we agree more. We agree with that

1178
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: a lot. We agree more ourselves more all the time.

1179
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: Who is Brian You're running back that you love but

1180
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 1: will not draft as of his average draft position. Love

1181
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, but hate the ADP at twenty six, which

1182
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: is an early third round pick at RB fourteen. Now

1183
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 1: that's not really super expensive, but it still feels like

1184
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: a trap to me. As a player. Again, he's about

1185
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: as elite as they come, but his surrounding circumstances are

1186
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: less than ideal. He does have the good offensive line,

1187
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: but lots of questions at questions at quarterback right now,

1188
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna dive into that too much, but I

1189
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 1: feel like it's gonna be Jacoby Brissette for the majority

1190
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: of the season, or maybe Jimmy Garoppolo, which isn't a

1191
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 1: huge upgrade over Brissette in my mind. Um, even if

1192
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt is traded, Chubb will still be mired in

1193
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: a platoon with either with either Deernest Johnson and or

1194
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: rookie Jerome Ford. And if NT is traded, it's not like, again,

1195
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: he's going to be in the platoon. Chubb is and

1196
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: he's just not utilized in the passing game. Just thirty

1197
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: six catches over the last two seasons for Chubb. So

1198
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 1: guys I like in that range a little more than Chubb, Um,

1199
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, James Conner, they just feel like they're in

1200
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: line for the more guaranteed touches and Nick Chubb is

1201
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: just he's in that time sharing man, I'm taking Chub

1202
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: in the third round all day long. I highlighted it

1203
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 1: last week, Brian, you weren't here, but seventeen percent of

1204
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland's runs last year went for twenty plus yards. One

1205
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: in six of their runs went twenty yards or more.

1206
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 1: How many were a lot? Yeah, Well, Chug missed like

1207
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: four games and dearness. Johnson looked very good in his

1208
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: that apparently Kareem Hunt wants to get out of the ways. Yeah,

1209
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:31,919
Speaker 1: let me out of here, all right. The running back

1210
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: I love but hate the average draft position is Javonte

1211
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: Williams at pick twenty. Yeah, I mean that's you know,

1212
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: that's awfully early. Um, you're paying a workhorse price for

1213
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 1: a time share back. That's the problem with pick twenty.

1214
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: At pick twenty, I want somebody. If I'm taking a

1215
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 1: running back and pick twenty, it's got to be it's

1216
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:53,439
Speaker 1: got Alvin Camaro also right in that pick twenty range.

1217
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: I want somebody who is a workhorse back. And we

1218
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: know Javonte Williams is going to seed half of his

1219
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: carries to Melvin Gordon. We talked about it in detail

1220
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: last week about Melvin Gordon. Now, sure, if he goes

1221
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 1: down to a freake dirigible accident, william is gonna be great.

1222
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: But until that happens, and we think unless Mike Boon

1223
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 1: shows up, um yeah, at that point, I'm going with

1224
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: work course back, Sae Kwon Barkley, Zeke, James Conner, somebody

1225
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: else that's a dirigible accidents in the Rocky Mountains very dangerous.

1226
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 1: That Pike's peakill sneak right up on you. Yeah, it's sharp.

1227
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: By the way, went to Pike's Peak. Uh, I don't know.

1228
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,560
Speaker 1: About six weeks ago, drove up to the top. What

1229
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 1: I did not expect. Even though it takes you a

1230
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,639
Speaker 1: half hour minutes to drive to the top. You get

1231
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 1: out of the car and you're woozy. Oh yeah, you're like,

1232
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 1: whoa the elevations something. Yeah, that's I did not expectet chart.

1233
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: I know, but I didn't think I'd walk out of

1234
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: my car and like, have have my knees ready to buckle.

1235
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: If you get hurt in the Rockies, you might want

1236
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: to be worth going at Red Rocks to see if

1237
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 1: Jesus is there, like you might be able to help

1238
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 1: you out any given show their number people who think

1239
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 1: they're Jesus in the crowd. Let's continue on with players

1240
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: we love but hate their average draft position, and let's

1241
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 1: go to the wide receiver position. Matt I got Davante Adams,

1242
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: who's going off the board at pick number eleven in

1243
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: the first round right now, and this is just a

1244
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: huge unknown. There's a switch from Aaron Rodgers to Derek Carr.

1245
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: There's a switch from a good offensive line to a

1246
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: bad one, to switch from a great running game in

1247
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,759
Speaker 1: Green Bay to a suspect one at best in Vegas. Also,

1248
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro is good enough and probably one of the

1249
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: better wide receiver he's ever played. Beside, he demands target share,

1250
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: so does Darren Waller when he's healthy. Well, just Josh

1251
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 1: McDaniels call enough pass plays for Adams. Also, Adams turns

1252
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,800
Speaker 1: thirty in December. Although he does have a birthday game

1253
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:50,799
Speaker 1: Brian against the Steelers on Christmas Eve, per potential birthday,

1254
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 1: He's got one this year. Uh, he's dealt with injuries

1255
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: in each of the last three years. And why not

1256
01:09:56,400 --> 01:10:00,640
Speaker 1: take Travis Kelsey, Stefon Diggs, Ceedee Lamb. Those players are

1257
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: much more bankable at the end of the first All right, Brian,

1258
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 1: who is the wide receiver you love but will not

1259
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: pay his ADP. Love Deebo Samuel, but hate the ADP

1260
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: of seven team, which is an early to mid second

1261
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: round pick. He's going off the board at wide receivers

1262
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 1: seven now. Debo was certainly a cheap code player last year.

1263
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: Like Cooper Cup and Hunter Renfrow, we helped win a

1264
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: lot of leagues but I'm not paying that premium price

1265
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: tag on deebo uh this preseason. It's just way too

1266
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,680
Speaker 1: expensive for me. I don't know if his rushing is sustainable.

1267
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: Eight of his fourteen touchdowns came on the ground. Last year.

1268
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: He had six receiving touchdowns and eight rushing touchdowns. But okay,

1269
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 1: but the eight rushing touchdowns does feel heavy, but the

1270
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 1: six receiving touchdowns feels light. I could see those two

1271
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: swinging evenly the other direction and correcting to still the

1272
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 1: same total. We'll see, I mean, and I like Trey

1273
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: Lance not as much as you. But verdicts still out

1274
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,919
Speaker 1: on Trey Lance. There's a change at quarterback for San Francisco.

1275
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: Debo also got paid this offseason a lot. Yeah. Will

1276
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:07,719
Speaker 1: the motivation be there still, t b D. We'll find

1277
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: out coaching staff be motivated to give him all those

1278
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,759
Speaker 1: extra touches after they paid him so much. Brandon Aiyuk

1279
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 1: was basically bad last year, but people are back on

1280
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,599
Speaker 1: the Ayuk train, and I don't know, and George Kittles

1281
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: in the mix. We're gonna talk about him in a second, actually,

1282
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 1: but Devot is way too expensive as an early to

1283
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: mid second round pick for me by the way. Yeah,

1284
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 1: we get plenty of things wrong in this show, but

1285
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: last preseason, at least some of us on this show,

1286
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: we're talking up Deebo Samuel. Uh. My wide receiver I

1287
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: love as a receiver but will not draft is Terry

1288
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 1: McLaurin or no, no, no, oh no, going off the

1289
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: board at pick forty six. Overall, that's too high for me. Now.

1290
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 1: Granted we've only ever seen him with middling too bad quarterbacks,

1291
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 1: but that's what he's got right now as well. McLaurin

1292
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: just hasn't proven to have the juice for upside. Potentially

1293
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 1: does not have the explosive games in him, and even

1294
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: the middling games aren't that high. Just not enough upside

1295
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: it pick forty six. I I'm looking for a wide

1296
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: receiver at pick forty six that can end up being

1297
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: a lockwide receiver one most weeks, and I don't think

1298
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 1: that's Terry McLaurin. The quarterback and he's got Let's go

1299
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 1: to the tight end position. Who is the tight end

1300
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:27,919
Speaker 1: that you love but will not pay for the average

1301
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: draft position? Matt Brian, can you take your headphones off

1302
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: and shut your mic down for a little bit about

1303
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: that's Kyle Pitts. Uh. He's going in the early third,

1304
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 1: which means that if you truly want Pits, he probably

1305
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,759
Speaker 1: gotta take him in the second. Uh. He's never scored

1306
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 1: an NFL touchdown in the United States of America. His

1307
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 1: only touchdown was in foggy London Town last year. We've

1308
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 1: highlighted that the Falcons have one of the worst offensive

1309
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:59,439
Speaker 1: lines in the league. They're starting a backup quarterback in

1310
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: Mario to Or a third round rookie and Desmond Ritter.

1311
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 1: That's a significant downgrade from Matt Ryan. Pitts will mostly

1312
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: play wide receiver this year, and the good thing is

1313
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 1: is you probably get wide receiver production out of your

1314
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:17,759
Speaker 1: tight end. That's good. But basically he was the only

1315
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 1: target in town last year, and Drake London is another

1316
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,799
Speaker 1: viable option this year. Well, that's good for an offense.

1317
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 1: If I want a part of the Atlanta passing game,

1318
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Drake London in the seventh round and

1319
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:33,759
Speaker 1: not Kyle Pitts in the second. And now Drake London

1320
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: at tight ends. I don't want any part of the

1321
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta passing game this year. And now for a rebuttal

1322
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson, Oh say is how often do we say,

1323
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: don't focus so much on last year? Right? True? Yeah,

1324
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: do not. They're not going to replay last year. Touchdowns

1325
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 1: are flukey and he had over a thousand yards and

1326
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: just crazy for that, I Matt, But I still like you.

1327
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 1: That's okay. I'll talk about my guy right now. Like

1328
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 1: your toller. You already up your hand on who your

1329
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: guy is. But yeah, it's George Kittle. Uh going off

1330
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 1: fifty third overall? That's uh what late fifth round pick?

1331
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 1: Tight end five? I mean, how do you not love

1332
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:15,839
Speaker 1: George Kittle in the real world? Arguably the best overall

1333
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 1: tight end in the NFL. But that's a problem in

1334
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 1: fantasy football. I don't want my tight end being good overall.

1335
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna be used as a blocker. Kittle

1336
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: isn't using my lot as a blocker. In fact, more

1337
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: than eighty percent of Kittles snaps were taken in line

1338
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,720
Speaker 1: last year. And yes, he runs routes on some of

1339
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 1: those scenes. But he he has big games, but he

1340
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,639
Speaker 1: has those massive dud games. He's just not consistent enough

1341
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:40,680
Speaker 1: for me to be taken as tight end five in

1342
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: the late fifth round. Um, I'd rather take Dallas got

1343
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: her a couple of rounds later. Who I talked about

1344
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: earlier in the show. And Uh, you said you were

1345
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 1: worried about Darren Waller's injury history. Sure I am a

1346
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 1: little bit too. But George Kittle has not played a

1347
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 1: full season since eighteen, so he's no iron man either,

1348
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: and that's because he's such a violent football there. I mean,

1349
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: he's if us a pass catching specialist, I'd pay that price.

1350
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 1: But uh, I'm at on Kittle at tight end five.

1351
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: Kittles the single most dangerous tight end after the catch,

1352
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 1: He's you know, he's probably the most dangerous tight end

1353
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: you can draft. The range of outcomes with him is

1354
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: is as high and low as any of them. That's fair.

1355
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: There is danger there. My tight end that player I

1356
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 1: love but will not draft is Darren Waller. We've already

1357
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: referred to him a couple of times. We're picking on Brian.

1358
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 1: We really are all Brian's guys here. Uh, he's gone

1359
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: off the board. His tight end five it picked forty

1360
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 1: seven overall, just the one really good season for Darren

1361
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 1: Waller and one okay season. Significant increasing competition for targets

1362
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: now that Hunter Renfroze broken out. Davante Adams has been added.

1363
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: Matt already talked about this is being a terrible offensive line.

1364
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 1: He maybe have asked to stay back and block more

1365
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 1: often because of that, and I could get tight ends

1366
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 1: I like almost as much as Waller like Dalton Schultz

1367
01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:00,560
Speaker 1: and Hockinson and Arts and got her twenty thirty or

1368
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 1: forty picks later. So I'm not I'm I'm out on

1369
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. That is it for me. So there you go.

1370
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,560
Speaker 1: A total of what was that? Twelve players that we

1371
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 1: love but we'll not draft. It's a lot of players. Yeah.

1372
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly coming up next, will

1373

Speaker 1: release this week's sleepers and discuss some of your most

1374
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:46,719
Speaker 1: important best ball in Guillotine League strategies. Stay tuned. Final

1375
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 1: segment Fantasy Football Weekly Paul Charchie and Brian Johnson Matt

1376
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 1: Harrison with you in our final segment. Each week we

1377
01:16:53,280 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: release our sleeper of the week, a score around the table,

1378
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 1: beginning with Brian Johnson. Who is your sleeper this week?

1379
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: I've got Texans, and we love the Texans on this show.

1380
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 1: I think I'm all right on the text. I like

1381
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 1: it h very contraria Texans wide receiver Nico Collins, who

1382
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:17,680
Speaker 1: I have dubbed Nico Suave going into this season. Uh.

1383
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: Collins was a rookie last year, a drafted seven overall

1384
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: that was in the third round out of Michigan by Houston.

1385
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: He has great size six ft four two and fifteen pounds.

1386
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,879
Speaker 1: Started last year on injured reserve but was activated in October.

1387
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 1: He wasn't an immediate starter, but he became one and

1388
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,720
Speaker 1: started eight games for Houston, and over his final five

1389
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,679
Speaker 1: games when Davis Mills was back as the starter, Collins

1390
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:41,679
Speaker 1: started to pick it up. He averaged eight point five

1391
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:45,680
Speaker 1: PPR points per game with nearly a target share, so

1392
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 1: he really started to come on towards the end of

1393
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 1: the season and go into this year, he is the

1394
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: unquestioned starter opposite of Brandon Cooks. Dallas did draft John

1395
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 1: Metchi in the third round, but he will miss the

1396
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: entire season after getting diagnosed with leukemia, and Uh, Brandon

1397
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 1: Cooks is to draw, you know, the primary tension of

1398
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 1: the opposing defenses. I think that I like Davis Mills.

1399
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 1: I believe in Davids Mills. I know you do too,

1400
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:09,879
Speaker 1: and I think the running game is gonna be improved

1401
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 1: behind Damian Pierce, and I think Nico Collins could surpass

1402
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: a thousand yards and get you six seven touchdowns potentially.

1403
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 1: Matt who is your sleeper? This week we talked about

1404
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: how there were seven or eight tight ends that you

1405
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: could feel maybe comfortable about this year. That means there's

1406
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: four or five teams that are just grasping at straws

1407
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: for tight end this year. So I got Hayden Hurst,

1408
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: who I think is gonna be all right, and and

1409
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: the tight end wasteland. Uh, he's completed four seasons in

1410
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. Is first two or with the Ravens. Mark

1411
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 1: Andrews beat him out for the top tight end spot,

1412
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: but Andrews is great. The next year he was sent

1413
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. He was the top tight end option there.

1414
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: Hurst finished as the number twelve tight end that season,

1415
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 1: played a full year, just put up solid numbers all around.

1416
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,680
Speaker 1: Then Kyle Pitts showed up and the Falcons line really

1417
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,560
Speaker 1: sucked last year, and Hearst was tasked with staying to

1418
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 1: staying in line to key Matt Ryan up right now

1419
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 1: he's in Cincinnati spot where c. J Uzoma just vacated.

1420
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 1: But Uzoma was tasked with staying in on that line

1421
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 1: last year and the Bengals improved their offensive line quite

1422
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 1: a bit. Uh, there's a ton of good targets flanking

1423
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: the outside. The middle of the field is gonna be

1424
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 1: just wide open for Hurst to exploit and in the

1425
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 1: waste land. I think you're gonna kind of like a

1426
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 1: guy like Hayden Hurst a lot. I think he's gonna

1427
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: be a frequent take a chance on the tied end.

1428
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 1: I like it. It's a nice angle. My favorite Hayden Hurst. Factoy.

1429
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,719
Speaker 1: It is just in. He was drafted by the Ravens

1430
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:35,080
Speaker 1: first round, first round overall. Then Baltimore takes Mark Andrews

1431
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: a third round in the same drest and we all

1432
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: know how that turn. And they drafted him above Lamar

1433
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 1: Jackson too because Jackson was the end of the first round.

1434
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 1: And yeah, so they might obviously they liked Hayden first.

1435
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 1: They drafted him, never thinking that Mark Andrews would fall

1436
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 1: as much as he did. And I think that they

1437
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 1: eventually he falls to the third round and they're like, whall,

1438
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, we got a second round grade on this guy.

1439
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,640
Speaker 1: We're just gonna take him because we should. He's the

1440
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: best player available. And you mentioned Isaiah. Likely they don't

1441
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 1: need a tight end, but he probably fell enough him.

1442
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,479
Speaker 1: They keep finding tight ends in Baltimore. To Dennis Pitta

1443
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 1: back in the day, I mean, they just keep churning

1444
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 1: out tight ends there. My sleeper this week is Chargers

1445
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver Josh Palmer. Josh Palmer, who everything clicked December

1446
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: twelve forward, so the five games from December twelve forward

1447
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 1: versus before then. His snaps per game before December twelve

1448
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: or eighteen that jumped up to forty eight per game,

1449
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: roughly triple. His targets went from two per game to

1450
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 1: six per game, and now he's was a reminder Josh

1451
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:43,920
Speaker 1: problem was a rookie last year. He's heading into a

1452
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 1: sophomore year. His yards per game went from fourteen to

1453
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: thirty seven, roughly tripling. His touchdowns before and after December

1454
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: twelve went from one before December twelve to three in

1455
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,600
Speaker 1: the five games after December twelve exactly triple, and his

1456
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:02,600
Speaker 1: Fantasy points per game went from two PPR points to

1457
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 1: seven Fantasy points per game, roughly triple. Palmer is getting

1458
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: first team reps in O T A S, in mini

1459
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: camp and now in training camp, and he's clearly outpaced

1460
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:13,719
Speaker 1: any contenders for the third receiving job. Yep, it's obviously

1461
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: Mike Williams and Keenyan Allin are one, A, one B there.

1462
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 1: But getting the third receiving option for a team with

1463
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: an unsettled tight end is not a bad way to

1464
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 1: go in Justin Herbert. You know, we all think Justin

1465
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 1: Herbert City on a really nice season, had one last year,

1466
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:33,200
Speaker 1: having the lock third receiver in his sophomore year, it

1467
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: feels like a great spot to be. You can get

1468
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:40,280
Speaker 1: Josh Palmer right now in the fifteen round of your draft.

1469
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 1: That is my sleeper this week. All right, guys, let's

1470
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 1: talk strategies for some of the unique ways to play,

1471
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:50,479
Speaker 1: beginning Guillotine League near and dear to my heart of course, Brian,

1472
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: you want to start the discussion on draft strategies for

1473
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: guilloteen leagues. Yeah, guillote leagues standard leagues are eighteen team leagues,

1474
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: so you gotta be very careful with your your selection

1475
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: so you can get eliminated in week one. And really

1476
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 1: the main thing you need to focus on is US

1477
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 1: draft for safety. That pretty much means don't draft a

1478
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 1: guy like Christian McCaffrey, who we mentioned ends up on

1479
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,840
Speaker 1: the way for wire every week basically, or has over

1480
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:15,759
Speaker 1: the last two years. You want to draft for safety,

1481
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 1: not for upside. You just don't want to come in

1482
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 1: last place. You're not last your first basically, just not

1483
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: last week. Don't get alive. And but that doing that,

1484
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 1: you draft for safety, you don't draft for upside. And

1485
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to take up this whole segment myself.

1486
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: But a couple of other things you don't want to

1487
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 1: do is you don't want to stack players from the

1488
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: same team or the same bye week. You want to

1489
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 1: spread that out. And a great tie breaker if you're

1490
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 1: torn between two players is take the guy with the

1491
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 1: later bye week so you don't have to worry about

1492
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 1: bending him earlier on the season. So I'm in two

1493
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 1: Guillotine League drafts right now. I have a Guillotine League

1494
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: cheat sheet, by the way over Shock Fantasy. I call

1495
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: it the cheating death sheet. Yeah yeah, heads will roll. UM.

1496
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: I try to plan my seasons in two different segments.

1497
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 1: Weeks one through five is season number one, Week six

1498
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 1: on is season number two. UM in weeks start in

1499
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 1: week six. In weeks one through five, I just need

1500
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 1: to survive and not finished. Last. So I'm looking for

1501
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,679
Speaker 1: great matchups in the first couple of weeks, hopefully avoiding

1502
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,720
Speaker 1: some of the stinker matchups. I'm also looking for guys

1503
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:23,759
Speaker 1: who I think you're going to get the heaviest volume

1504
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 1: in the first few weeks. Volumes a huge part of

1505
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: consistency that you want to have any GAIA team, And

1506
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:30,560
Speaker 1: so one of the things that I kind of do

1507
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: when I make my cheat sheet as I look at

1508
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 1: every team in the NFL, and I say, who is

1509
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 1: going to get touches in Dallas? And I answer Zeke,

1510
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 1: So Zeke is a great pick. Who is going to

1511
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 1: get touches in Arizona. I think it's gonna be James Conner.

1512
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 1: So he's a great pick. So you look at the

1513
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: guys who are going to get the most touches, the

1514
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction. Who's gonna get the most touches? That's

1515
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 1: huge because I'm hoping that I don't have to use

1516
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 1: my fab in the first five weeks. I don't want

1517
01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:59,479
Speaker 1: to use any of my fab if possible, in the

1518
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: first five weeks. But after that, once we hit week six,

1519
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:06,719
Speaker 1: my roster is gonna start changing on a weekly basis.

1520
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 1: It is so I don't care about the schedule as much.

1521
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 1: I look one to two weeks ahead because it's going

1522
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 1: to change so much. Um. I had a couple of

1523
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: bullet points, and you guys can tell me because you guys,

1524
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 1: you guys are guillotine leagues. I'm not guillotine leagues. But

1525
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: these are the things I came up with. I never

1526
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,720
Speaker 1: carry a second quarterback unless we're down to like the

1527
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 1: last four or five teams agreed I downplay. It's if

1528
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 1: there's one draft strategy I've got is I don't pay

1529
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks in a guillotine league. That's like a last

1530
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:37,760
Speaker 1: round pick. And I only do it if I'm trying

1531
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: to block someone else on the quarterback thing in those

1532
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 1: last four to five weeks. If Patrick Mahomes is there

1533
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 1: and I got Josh Allen, yeah I'll take Patrick Mahomes

1534
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 1: so nobody else can have them. That's kind of how

1535
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,880
Speaker 1: I play. I try to bleed the tight end market

1536
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible in the draft because there's so

1537
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 1: few of them. And if you're in an eight teen

1538
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: team league and you've got two of the eight tight

1539
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:02,719
Speaker 1: ends that are good, that means huge. That means eleven, twelve,

1540
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 1: teams are playing a really bad tight end that they

1541
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: have to play. That is a great point. And think

1542
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,600
Speaker 1: of the difference between having one of the five or

1543
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 1: six we said there were seven reliable tight ends versus

1544
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: having the most reliable tight end. You're going to war

1545
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 1: with eighteen. Guy off the board is currently David and Joco.

1546
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:25,680
Speaker 1: So you're going to with David and Joco hoping to

1547
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: not get cut when David and Joco could easily put

1548
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: up a zero catch game. And that's exactly where you

1549
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 1: could be headed. Massive differential at tight end. Um, how

1550
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: about this one. I think you only need two wide receivers.

1551
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 1: You get two good wide receivers, and I think that's it.

1552
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: If you look for high target players, high the high ceiling,

1553
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 1: low floor plays like Tyler Lockett will never make your lineup.

1554
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 1: I try to get play. I try to get two

1555
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 1: really good wide receivers, and then I try to fill

1556
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 1: up my bench with running backs. Wow, for those that

1557
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: don't know, you only only have to start to mandatory

1558
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers and two running backs. Then there's two X

1559
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:03,200
Speaker 1: spots along with quarterback tea. So if I can get

1560
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 1: a tight end as a good flex because I got

1561
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 1: two good tight ends, and I have three running backs

1562
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:09,600
Speaker 1: playing in any given week. I'm feeling really good, and

1563
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:12,559
Speaker 1: I don't think I need the extra wide receivers, especially

1564
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,760
Speaker 1: ones that just aren't as safe. I'll mention one of

1565
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 1: the Guillotine League draft tip. There's almost no rookie who's

1566
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 1: so safe that you can plan for that guy to

1567
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:27,240
Speaker 1: start the first not in season, not in the first

1568
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: couple of its. Justin Jefferson, who leads the NFL all

1569
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 1: time in yards gained in the first two years of

1570
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 1: a career, he didn't start for the first month of

1571
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 1: his career. He couldn't beat out he was b C.

1572
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,559
Speaker 1: Johnson was starting in place of him. It takes time

1573
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:46,800
Speaker 1: for almost all rookies, even ones as good as Justin Jefferson.

1574
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: And you don't want to be the guy who's counting

1575
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:53,240
Speaker 1: on those rookies in your Guillotine League. Let those players go.

1576
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:55,720
Speaker 1: I got one more thing Brian said. Brian said that

1577
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:59,639
Speaker 1: you don't like to start two guys from the same team. Yeah,

1578
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:03,600
Speaker 1: how do you guys feel about starting a tandem backfield?

1579
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: For instance, if you have Aaron Jones and a J. Dillon.

1580
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 1: I think both of those guys get enough touches in

1581
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:12,599
Speaker 1: a game where you feel pretty strongly about using Aaron

1582
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:14,719
Speaker 1: Jones as you're running back and using A J. Dillon

1583
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 1: as your flex or. In my case, I have a

1584
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 1: I have a league where I just drafted both of

1585
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: the Patriots running backs. There's just a few backfields and

1586
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 1: I'll be comfortable doing that that's one of them. But yeah,

1587
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean again, early weeks, you just need eight to

1588
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 1: ten points per player, and you can get that out

1589
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 1: of Aaron Jones and yeah AJ Dillon. But that's why

1590
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking for the touches I'm looking. I'm looking for

1591
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 1: those touches overall. If I can get a guy who

1592
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 1: I know is going to get twelve to fifteen touches,

1593
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 1: now I'm pretty solid about that, get them getting in

1594
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:43,679
Speaker 1: my line up, particularly earlier in the seat, when there's

1595
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 1: eighteen teams in the league, A J. Dillon is a starter.

1596
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 1: And by week six the strategy all changes. It does,

1597
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: it does change. By week six to six teams have

1598
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:55,080
Speaker 1: been knocked out. Now we're in a twelve team league

1599
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:58,760
Speaker 1: and you know now you've you've already added you know

1600
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 1: who knows James Honor to your team. You know your

1601
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 1: roster is all different six weeks in. It's part of

1602
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,400
