00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: probably should be. UM. As a reminder, we have a

27
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,399

Speaker 1: the playoffs. I got the ring out a hundred forty four.

32
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: You probably got to like his London forty four players

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: that started you were the last Yeah, something like yeah,

34
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: something else very impressive. UM. I can't I can't wait

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: to get back in a Guillotine League this year. I'm excited.

36
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: Yeah A, well, I mean, how many do you want

37
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: me to be in? I see, I feel like the

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: right number because your season can end, Yeah, any time

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: it's gone. I mean I feel like you have to

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: have minimum to just in case one goes belly. I

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: had to last year. So yeah, so I feel like

42
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: two is kind of the functional minimum, but that's just me.

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe we can have a beat Explosive Output league

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: or something like we had a listener league last year,

45
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: so I'm abe we'll do that again this year. But

46
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: we have a little time to figure that out. In

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: the meantime, I should mention while we're doing a little

48
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: self promotion here at shock Fantasy, anything cool and anything

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: cool happening at chock Fantasy. Did the huge, huge update

50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: on the Dynasty trade value chart and added all the

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: rookies and add all the all the all the guys

52
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: changing teams and everything like that. So yeah, that's that's

53
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: a big update. It takes quite a while to get

54
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: all the contracts and all that stuff. I'll load it up.

55
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: So yeah, released that last week and we're gonna keep

56
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: going and get ready for the NFL Draft here fantastic.

57
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: Let's turn our attention to the a f C North

58
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: and let's start with the Super Bowl runner up super

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: Bowl runner up team, that's a better way to phrase it,

60
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, and what was the week spot of

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati and they did such a great job in

62
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: the offseason, absolutely completely rebuilt the right side of their line.

63
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Law L Collins comes over from the Cowboys to play

64
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: right tackle. He was the fifteen ranked tackle by PFF

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: last year and the number three overall run blocker. I

66
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: don't understand why Dallas did this. Dallas isn't very bright.

67
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um. Alex Kappa is the new right guard.

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: He comes from Tampa. He came in as the number

69
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: eighteen ranked guard last year. And Ted Carriss, who's Alex

70
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: Harris's great nephew. Alright, Uh, he comes to play center

71
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: from New England. Now. He played mostly guard last year,

72
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: but he was the seventh best hass blocking guard in

73
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: the league according to Pro Football Focused. So smart of

74
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: the Bengal So they rebuilt an entire side of their

75
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: offensive line new it's gonna be a lot better. Uh.

76
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: The other new addition to the team is Hayden Hurst,

77
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: replacing c j Uzoma at tight end. Hurst found the

78
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: back seat to Kyle Pitts last year in Atlanta, which

79
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: just about every tight end in the league would have

80
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: done had Kyle pitt has been drafted on their team,

81
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: but the year before he was tight end ten to

82
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: fifteen based on your scoring system. So he was, you know,

83
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: startable in some leagues, and I think he's kind of

84
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: an old, boring name and people are really going to

85
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: overlook him coming into draft season. This year, he's on

86
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: the best offense he's ever been on, and there's there's

87
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: a lot of weapons around him. I think Hayden Hurst

88
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: is sitting on like a sneaky nice year, and I

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: think when we get into July and August, we're gonna

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: start talking about sleepers. Hayden Hurst is going to be

91
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: one of those guys that either Brian or I mentioned

92
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: Brian probably will because I think he still has a

93
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: soft spot for the bank Ols. But uh yeah, um,

94
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: the other guys, you know, Jamar Chase and t Higgins

95
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: lining up outside of Hurst in PPR points per game,

96
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: Chase finished as the fifth best wide receiver last year

97
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: and Higgins finished as the twelfth best wide receiver last year.

98
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: That's two wide receiver ones on the same team. Yeah.

99
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, for Chase, as we know, it was more

100
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: ups and downs, you know, the explosive game and the

101
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: quiet game, but averaged out to fifth overall. Yeah, it's

102
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: pretty great. Uh. Tyler Boyd even finished in the thirties

103
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: amongst wide receivers and targets receptions in yards, So he'll

104
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: probably still remain to be flexworthy UH in most leagues.

105
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: And I know the Super Bowl losers get the hangover

106
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: most years, which which it's been totally legit. It's been

107
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: totally legit, but it doesn't feel like that for Joe Burrow.

108
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: It feels like he's on the doorstep of something special historical,

109
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: maybe uh full year away from the a c L now.

110
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: UH started last season with eight straight multi I touchdown

111
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: pass games, and he's got a vastly improved offensive line.

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: The wide receiver talent, you could argue he's got a

113
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: better tight end than use Elma. I think sky's the

114
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: limit for Joe Burrow. And where do you think you

115
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: have Burrow ranked among your quarterbacks when we start next year? Five?

116
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: He's definitely a top five guy, and I think the

117
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: upside is QB one. Yeah, I mean that's not out

118
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: of reach if he if he scrambled more. He doesn't,

119
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: but it would be easier. But he's got forty touchdown

120
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: upside in that arm. Yeah, and and definitely five thousand

121
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: yards in there. So Joe Mixon gets that upgraded line

122
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: as well, he faded badly down the stretch from Week

123
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: fourteen through the Super Bowl, which was eight games for

124
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: the Bengals. He only scored three times and he topped

125
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: sixty five rushing yards only twice in that span. Compare

126
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: that to fourteen touchdowns in the prior twelve weeks. Uh

127
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: So it was a little bit of a fade. Mixing

128
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: was very young when he entered the league. He only

129
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: turned twenty six this summer. But he's already played five

130
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: season and has and has had multiple injuries on the resume.

131
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: So would it be surprising if the Bengals took a

132
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: running back on Day two? They have pick sixty three

133
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: and nine. They addressed the offensive line, their defense was

134
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: in pretty decent shape last year to get to a

135
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Maybe they look at what the Rams did

136
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: with all the depth at the running back position and

137
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: they go, we need something better than Chris Evans and

138
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: Soma j. P. Ryan and and maybe it's somebody like

139
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: Breece Hall, Isaiah Spiller, James Cook, those of the ideal scenarios.

140
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: All of those guys are sitting late second to early

141
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: third in draft predictions right now. So so Cincinnati picking

142
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: bottom of the second round, bottom of the second bottom

143
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: of my life. You know what, I like that angle.

144
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about them as a running back destination,

145
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: but it really does make some sense that they need

146
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: the depth there and mix and might not be able

147
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: to shoulder the full load anymore. So I I think

148
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: it would be interesting seeing as how he broke down

149
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 1: at the tail end of the end. Now, they signed

150
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: him to a pretty sizeable new deal one or two

151
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: years ago, so we still got still got some room

152
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: to go there. But boy, you know, the Bengals are

153
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: a team that have some to your point, they've they've

154
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: they have the luxury of making sort of a best

155
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: player available selection, so they don't have an area of

156
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: massive need anymore. So yeah, maybe maybe that's gonna make

157
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: a cheap running back for three or four years to

158
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: kind of be the Joe mixing air apparent as well.

159
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah like it. That's that's the Bengals for you. Okay,

160
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: let's go over to the Baltimore Ravens, and you can't

161
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: first thing you always think about the Ravens is Lamar

162
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: Jackson and last year's disappointing season. Maybe not the disaster

163
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: that some people remember last year being but it seemed

164
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: like that much of a disaster, but it wasn't where

165
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: people were drafting it, certainly not. He missed six and

166
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: a half games with injury, which was a you know,

167
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: that's a huge factor. And he did not score rushing

168
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: to touch down after week two and that was the killer,

169
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: uh massive blow too was normally gigantic upside. But Lamar

170
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: Jackson still averaged twelve carries for seventy three yards, and

171
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: those are running back numbers, rushing numbers. Yeah. And of course, famously,

172
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens had every running back on their roster get

173
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: hurt in consecutive weeks in the preseason, so that might have,

174
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, factored into Lamar Jackson's inability to really run.

175
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: Um and well maybe he had to run more because

176
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: they know they couldn't rely on the old farts that

177
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: they had what they brought in. Um. Now, Jackson never

178
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: has and never willingess offense get goal line carries, and

179
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: so that does give you some we saw the downside

180
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: of his rushing touchdowns. For a guy who doesn't get

181
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: goal line carries, he's got to score from distance, and

182
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: everybody who has to score from distance has touchdown downside. Yeah,

183
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of risk there for sure. For sure, um.

184
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: But the other side of it is, if I were

185
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: to tell you next year, Lamar Jackson's going to average

186
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: twelve carries for seventy three yards, wouldn't you think he's

187
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: sitting on six, seven, eight, nine rushing touchdowns in a

188
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: typical average year. I mean you'd think, But then you'd

189
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: look back at what he did this year ago. Maybe

190
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: it's four, maybe it's five. That's certain. I just think

191
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: we at the bottom of what he can do from

192
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown stamp. That's that's that's probably it. Speaking of which,

193
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: his passing was similarly frustrating. Um. Although no game's out

194
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: any passing touchdowns, lots of one touchdown games, and that

195
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: was a real frustration for Lamar Jackson's owners, and it's

196
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: it's part of why the the he didn't end up

197
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: having the massive, gigantic games that we had seen two

198
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: years prior from Lamar Jackson. In his eleven full games,

199
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: his average finish was QB eleven, all right, and QB

200
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: eleven is not bad. That's not you drafted him. So

201
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: the interesting one of the interesting aspects of Lamar Jackson

202
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: too is his contract situation. He's in the fifth year

203
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: of his rookie deal. He's looking for, you know, the

204
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: mega quarterback deal right now? Are the Ravens going to

205
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: give him that, because it seems like they're slightly hesitant

206
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: to do so. And if so, could this be a contract,

207
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: dear for Lamar Jackson where he goes out and just

208
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: becomes the highest paid free agent quarterback ever? And could

209
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens just go yeah, yolo, Lamar, go for it.

210
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: We don't care. I agree, that's the full range of

211
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: a possible outcomes here. And Jackson, who represents himself, which

212
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: I think is noble and you know, if you've got

213
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: the cojones to do it, great, Um, But he has

214
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: so much leverage right now and in next by next

215
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: March when he come up as a free agent. How

216
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: much leverage does Lamar Jackson have if he doesn't win

217
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: a playoff game, if he misses some time knee injury.

218
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: What if Tyler Honley comes back in again in like

219
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: he did last year and performs at a similar level,

220
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: not as good, but at close to level. You know,

221
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson maybe eating into may have you know, may

222
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: have overplayed his hand here by going into the fifth

223
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: year of his rookie deal. Let's go to the running backs.

224
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: So J K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards suffered season ending

225
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: a c L injuries within a matter of a couple

226
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: of days of each other, and they both come back.

227
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: They both moved right to the back of the top

228
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: of the depth chart because the dust farting running backs

229
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: that they had are all gone, I'm happy to say.

230
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: And it's it's still too early to know where Dobbins

231
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: isn't his recovery, where Edwards is in his recovery. But

232
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: I think there's some sneaky draft value to be had

233
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: on my favorite sleeper from last year at this time,

234
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: which was which was Gus Edwards. Here's why currently his

235
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: ADP is the fourteenth round for Edwards. Who's to say

236
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: right now that Gus Edwards his knee isn't you know,

237
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: there's a decent chance Gus edwards knee recoveries just gonna

238
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: be faster than than dobbins knee recovery could be, and

239
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: that Edwards is ready to hit the ground running opening

240
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: day in a way that Dobbins isn't. Dobbin's ADP, by

241
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: the way, fourth round, Yeah, um, definite upside for both guys.

242
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: Here absolutely um as a guy who holds a lot

243
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: of Dobbins stock in Dynasty and really cheering for j K.

244
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: But uh, you know you could see it. But the

245
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: nice part about this is for both of these guys,

246
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: those knee injuries happened back in July or August. It

247
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: was August, so late August we had probably the full

248
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: year of recovery for both of these guys. So I

249
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: think both should be able to hit the ground running

250
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: pun intended there and and I don't foresee you know,

251
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: Dobbins or Edwards being limited in any fashion. Interesting. On Friday,

252
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: reports surfacing that the Ravens were interested in Melvin Gordon,

253
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: Well why do they? You know they got Dobbins and Edwards.

254
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: We don't need this, We don't need this messing everything up?

255
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: Is Melvin Gordon just like the guy who messes everything up?

256
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: Now he did, That's all he does is screw up

257
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy Owners and Boston Eckler for a while, messed up

258
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams last year. Wherever he goes, he's going to

259
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: mess it up. Yeah, he's just the He's the value

260
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: shredder for all the running backs around you. So is

261
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: Baltimore interested in Melvin Gordon in some part some part

262
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: because either Dobbins or Edwards isn't where they should be

263
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: in their rehab And we don't know, but that's one

264
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: possible explanation. It's a possibility. And maybe it's just Baltimore

265
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: really hasn't been a bell cow destination for runners for

266
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: quite a while. Jamal Lewis. That's a long time, and

267
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: it was the years ago. They don't have bell cows really,

268
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: so it just could be a thing where they're like,

269
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, we want eight to ten carries for all

270
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: of our ning backs, and we want to run the

271
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: ball thirty times a game, so we need a third guy.

272
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: It's possible. I mean, you know, clearly a run first

273
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: offense and always will be. And that's uh, you know,

274
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: that's let's just help Melvin Gordon land somewhere else already

275
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: want me. How about Miami. They've got so many guys,

276
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: they're fine. He just water it all down, Just just

277
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: let let one backfield just be completely cannibalized by al Right,

278
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to the receivers. Marcus Brown, even

279
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: though he'll likely get his fifth year option exercise. He's

280
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: probably in a contract year this year effectively in a

281
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: contract year. Um. You may remember his tour and start

282
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: to last season when he was fantastic six touchdowns in

283
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: the first seven games, I remember, and then he never

284
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: scored again. That's amazing, that's terrible. In fairness, Lamar Jackson

285
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: missed a lot of the games in the second half

286
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: of the season, so that was part of why. But

287
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntly was able to feed other people like Mark

288
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: Andrews just fine. So that that part of it is

289
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: always frustrating. And I think it's really continued what has

290
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: now been a full career trend for Marquis Brown as

291
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: a all or nothing fantasy guy. Yeah. Absolutely, We've seen

292
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: a lot of those come and go in the past,

293
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: and he just seems like if he's scoring touchdowns, they

294
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: come in bunches. He seems like a new DeShawn Jackson

295
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: to me. In the night last nine games of the season,

296
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: Brown never scored and his high water mark for yards,

297
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: that's a that's a fantasy team killer. It was. There

298
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: were people that were powering themselves through October with Markis

299
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: Brown heading thinking they're heading to the playoffs, and the

300
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: wheels came off. So I think the moral of the

301
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: story is when markis Brown is hot and he's on

302
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: your roster, that's when you trade him. If he if

303
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: he strings together some good games, just get out, get

304
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: out while you can. Rischade Bateman was last year's first rounder.

305
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: He missed those first five games of the season, started

306
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: the season pretty quietly, and we're like, okay, fine, he's

307
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: got to get a few games to you know, get

308
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: his you know, get acclimated in the NFL. No problem,

309
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: earned a starting role, but then it never really came

310
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: together for him. And again maybe because Lamar Jackson missed

311
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: some of those games, but even like the box scores

312
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: weren't that great, and then you just you just look

313
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: at the player the eye the eye test, Matt Rashan,

314
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: Bateman never really jumped off the screen. There's plenty of

315
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: first round wide receivers that become just a guy, if

316
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: not worse in the NFL. I mean Jalen Reagor from

317
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: a few years. Uh, it just happens over and over again.

318
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: He's already better than Reagor, let's hope. So for Bateman,

319
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: just one touchdown on the season, just one one yard game,

320
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: Baltimore is always gonna be a run heavy team, and

321
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: how many you know if they're gonna feed Mark Andrews.

322
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: We'll talk about a second here, and Marcus Brown is

323
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: going to get some of the deep stuff. I just

324
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: don't I get the feeling Bateman is just gonna get

325
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 1: squeezed out of box scores a lot here between all

326
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: the running and Andrews and Brown. I just don't think

327
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: there's enough pigskin to go around for him. Outside of Andrews.

328
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: Is there a guy you really really want on your

329
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: fantasy team next year at their ad? I'm interested in

330
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: both Dobbins and Edwards for me, yes, yeah, I want

331
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: I want to have I want to have Ravens running backs.

332
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Gus Edwards is a perfect do the opposite

333
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: style running back. What if the Dobbins is going in

334
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: the fourth round, that's a great start. What do you

335
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: think of Lamar Jackson before we get to Mark Andrews Here?

336
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson where we have him ranked for a quarterback?

337
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: Use going into next year coming off of two really

338
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: disappointing seasons. I think with all the contract stuff that's there,

339
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: and I believe he'll be very motivated. I think he's

340
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: probably going to be around the sixth seven. They'll be

341
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 1: below Burrow in my my quarterback rankings next year. But

342
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: the upside is so massive with Lamar Jackson, just with

343
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: the running ability. Well, the floor is so high because

344
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: if he's gonna chip, even when he has the bad

345
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: passing game, when he's chipping in sixty eight rushing yards,

346
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: if you get seventy rushing yards and you have two

347
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: passing yards, you're already like at a good spot. Then

348
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: the touchdowns are just gravy. Right. Mark Andrews finished his

349
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: tight end one in every scoring system. I don't know

350
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: how you worked it out. Okay, was the best tight

351
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: end last year to have remote if I was in

352
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: a league that had no Ravens in it. It's not

353
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: like a league in Cleveland or something Pittsburgh. We don't

354
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: do any Ravens um for remarkable for a tight end.

355
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: He led the team in targets, target percentage, and percentage

356
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: of air yards, all going to the tight end position.

357
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: Andrew's currently going off the board is tight end to

358
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: in the third round behind Travis Kelsey. I think you

359
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: can make a pretty strong case for him to remain

360
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: tight end one this year. If you think Kelsey, who's

361
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: now he's getting he'll be his thirty four. We're going

362
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: to be thirty four this year. If you think that

363
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: Kelsey's at the beginning of the end, and we saw

364
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: that long stretch from November to the middle of December

365
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: where Kelsey didn't do much. If I think, I think

366
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: you can. I think you could almost say Mark Andrews

367
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: is the more bankable tight end one. I think that

368
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: will be a big, a big hot take going into

369
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: fantasy draft season next year. And then I can hear

370
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: Brian coming in Kyle Pitts. Kyle Pitts and we talked

371
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: about the last show and they really go back and listen.

372
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: He talked about the most I possible Number one, and

373
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: he could be. But um, the danger of fantasy is

374
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: always replaying the year before Mark Andrews finished Number one.

375
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: Is he gonna do it again? I mean, flip a

376
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: coin between Kelsey and Andrews. Really, yeah, you know what.

377
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: I haven't fully decided yet, um, but right now I

378
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: think I'm still going to take the guy attached to

379
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. It seems like a smart plan, It seems

380
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: like it seems like the safer play what else is

381
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: The safe play is stay tuned because when we come back,

382
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: we're going to talk through the Pittsburgh Steelers and the

383
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. Hold on tight. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly,

384
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: Paul Charchie and Matt Harrison with you. Segment number two,

385
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: we'll tackle the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns. Shout

386
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: out to Brian Johnson who lost a family member. Yeah,

387
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: no kid, Brandon's nummy kids. They're his dog. Stella was very,

388
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: very close with Brian. Oh my gosh, she was close

389
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: with all of us because Stella was at the office

390
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: with us almost every day. Yeah, and so big loss

391
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: for for the dog world. And yeah, so yeah, shout

392
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: out to Stella stell Bell. We will miss you for sure.

393
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk Pittsburgh Steelers as they head into the season

394
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: with Mitch true Bisky. Do you have that sad trombone? Ski?

395
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: This one? This is the ultimate, This is the one.

396
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: We can keep it rolling. Um, Mitch Trubisky is your

397
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: new quarterback unless the Steelers grab one at twenty or

398
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: trade and many people think that will happen. Um, If

399
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: University of Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett or Malik willis where

400
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: to fall to twenty. I think that's a no brainer

401
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: for the Steelers and then they can get rid of

402
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: this song. You turn it up, you get that's the

403
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: end of the Hey, I got another button for you

404
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: to push. How about this? In Bisky started a game

405
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: nine times Fantasy No nin Oh, Duck Hodges is still

406
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: on that. We got sand Trombone and the Duck Hodges together. Um.

407
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: His intended area arts per pass in was seven point eight,

408
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: which I was like, is that low? Is at high?

409
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: So I looked it up compared it That's what Dak

410
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: Prescott and Aaron Rodgers through. So um, but it's a

411
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: full yard more than Ben Roethlisberger and a yard of

412
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: air yards is a lot of air yards right there,

413
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: So um, that's pretty significant. Much stronger arm than a

414
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: four year old Ben. The problem is his accuracy, which

415
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: is why he had a fifty eight point to passing

416
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: grade from Pro Football Focus. Comparison would be somewhere between

417
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: what Davis Mills and Sam Donald were last year. So yeah,

418
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: the vision he that guy misses. He does not read

419
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: the field. Well, it's true Whisky doesn't and Scott Fish

420
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: said that he can't throw to the left side of

421
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: the field. So that's what you know that. That is

422
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: one of the common complaints about him, and there was

423
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: near the end of his run in Chicago. There were

424
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: some people that work. I'll never forget seeing some of

425
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: the tweets of images of true whisky. There's there's a player,

426
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 1: he said about the twenty yard line of the opposition.

427
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: There's a there's a receiver in the end zone. Yeah,

428
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't anybody within like fifteen yards him and the

429
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: pictures right behind Robinsky and he doesn't see him. No,

430
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: it's just it's there's so many, so many mental miscues

431
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: for Drabinsky, who may have gotten almost certainly got better

432
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: coaching with Buffalo. Maybe some of that's been knocked out

433
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: of him. We'll find out. He's the best weapons he's

434
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: ever had in his career around him. I think he

435
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: is a good runner um by the way, I think

436
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: he had a grade of seventy seven on Pro Football Focus,

437
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: which is right in line with Russell Wilson's running grade.

438
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: So he's a good runner. Um. I think what Pittsburgh

439
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: does this year is they keep him running, and they

440
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: keep Nagi running, and that's how it goes. Um A

441
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: couple of other key additions to the Steelers. James Daniels

442
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: is the new right guard. He came from the Bears.

443
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: He's actually that a pretty decent upgrade Pro Football focuses

444
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: number nineteen guard. And Mason Cole is the new center.

445
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: He's not good well. He served as the backup and

446
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: sometimes starter in Minnesota last year. He was the thirteenth

447
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: ranked center by Pro foot All focused last year, but

448
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: only four or seventy one snaps, so he must have

449
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: raised a lot better than Garrett brad Berry. But yeah,

450
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: that's about it. If he were particularly good, the Vikings

451
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: would have kept him. Um. He is a great run

452
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 1: blocker though he graded very high as a run blocker,

453
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: but terrible, terrible as a pass blocker. So I think

454
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: this sets up for Naji Harris to just get a

455
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: UH one touches last time. That's the most in the

456
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: league average twenty four opportunities per game. That's rushing attempts

457
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: plus targets. Uh Bringing in the two run blocking interior

458
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: alignment and a quarterback who's inaccurate leads me to believe

459
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: that that workload continues this season. Um, he's going to

460
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: be in the conversation it for the top three players

461
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: off your board in fantasy drafts in in August. So

462
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: I just think because the touchload is gonna be so high,

463
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be facing eight, nine, ten in the box

464
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: a lot. But he's I think he's good enough to

465
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: do it. Stealers haven't done enough for their offensive line

466
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: yet and they have to hit it in the draft.

467
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: If it doesn't have to be a twenty, but if

468
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: I feel like two out of the first three picks

469
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: it could be to be lineman. Now, Deonte Johnson had

470
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty nine targets last year in sixteen games.

471
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: That's the exact same amount that Davante Adams had last

472
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: year in the exact same amount of games. Uh second

473
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: most in the league behind Cooper Cup. In true Bisky's

474
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen season, which is the last time he started

475
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: basically a whole year, Mitch targeted Allen Robinson one fifty

476
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: four times, third most in the league that year. True

477
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: Bisky can support the top twelve fantasy wide receiver, and

478
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: I believe he will do that if he's the starter

479
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: for Deonte Johnson. Now, Chase Claypool is now the certain

480
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: number two. Now that Juju Smith Schuster is gone. He's

481
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: one of my favorite sleepers right now. It's it's April,

482
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: but I'm really interested coming off the bad season. The

483
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: better downfield passer this is. I think there's a lot

484
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: of upside here after you know, we saw we saw,

485
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: we saw the touchdown upside two years ago in his

486
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: rookie year. Yea for Chase, but I'll let you continue.

487
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: You can, you can finish her to your side of

488
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: this story. But I'm interested in buying a low right now. Okay,

489
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: um in for true bisky. Anthony Miller was the second

490
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: highest targeted Bear at just over five targets per game. Okay,

491
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: but he was a slot receiver who wasn't very good

492
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: in his out of the league. Now he's in Pittsburgh,

493
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: oh is he's the number three wide receiver. Okay, scratch

494
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: that sake. He took over for Juju Smith Schuster. So

495
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: Claypool saw around seven targets per game last year. I

496
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: think he's looking at a similar opportunity amount six seven

497
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: targets per game, which could be enough for him to

498
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: really get going. But I mean with Anthony Miller there

499
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: and likely manning the slot that Juji Miller is no thought.

500
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: My god, he might not be a threat, but he's

501
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: true Whisky's boy. I don't think so. I don't think so.

502
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm a Laypool so much better. So I'm a little

503
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 1: worried on the true Whisky side that he can support

504
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson as a number one. But you look at

505
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,239
Speaker 1: Claypool and then you look at Pat Fryar muth who

506
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people like, I'm a little nervous that

507
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: he can't from a passing standpoint, just support that many weapons.

508
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: And let's talk about Friar muth up. He scored six

509
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a seven week period in the middle of

510
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: the season, but never topped fifty eight yards on the season.

511
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: When he doesn't score, he's getting you a lot of

512
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: like seven point ish PPR games, like four catches thirty yards.

513
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 1: That's kind of his like m O right there. Um,

514
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: So he's either going to be the last guy in

515
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,239
Speaker 1: the tier of tight ends that you want or the

516
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: first guy in the tier of tight ends that you

517
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: don't want. And you're mixing and matching with guys like

518
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst. You know, from a dynasty standpoint, I'm fascinated

519
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: by Friar muth because if Drubhisky doesn't work out, there's

520
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: another quarterback coming. If Trubisky doesn't work out, pit Sburgs

521
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: selecting high in the draft next year, and it will

522
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: be although the defense, I think it's always going to

523
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: keep you know, alone, you could get him to seven

524
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: wins every years. Um yeah, I just think I just

525
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: think Friarmouth's got some I think he's got some real talent.

526
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: He does have some some huge upside for sure. He does.

527
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I'd go acquire him if a couple of

528
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: soft games come through for him and he's not like

529
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: looking all that well. Uh at the beginning of this

530
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: this next coming year, if he gets a few of

531
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: those four catch thirty yard games and somebody's like, I've

532
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: had enough of Friarmouth, Trubisky sucks. That's where you go

533
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: hop in and maybe you're making a good investment for

534
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: the following year. That makes sense. Let's go over to

535
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, the ever changing Cleveland Browns. It's there's

536
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: no dull moments at all. I mean, it's always something there.

537
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: From the time Kevin Stefanski has shown up, it's been

538
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: nothing but turmoil, you know. Uh, and a wide variety

539
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: of fronts. Yeah, oh, b j out Deshaun Watson. The

540
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: you know what we went through with Baker Mayfield. Keep

541
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: in mind, people forget Baker Mayfield three years ago posted

542
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: he tied the all time rookie record for touchdowns in

543
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: a rookie season. You know, they went to the playoffs

544
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: to mean you know, and now that yeah, right now,

545
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: they can't give the guy away. And suddenly I'm supposed

546
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: to believe he stinks. I don't. I don't believe he's terrible,

547
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: but he will. He's unlikely to start any games, at

548
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: least any games in which Deshaun Watson's available. We have

549
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: no idea what's kind of suspension is looming for Watson,

550
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: but most people believe he will not roll into this

551
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: season unsuspended. Don't you believe that Mayfield won't play another

552
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: down for the Browns? Again, not necessarily. Let's talk it

553
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: through for a minute. So let's assume that the Browns

554
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: aren't gonna Let's assume the Browns are gonna give him away,

555
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,479
Speaker 1: and they're not any reason to give him away. He's

556
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: under his rookie deal, he's cheap, they've got, they've all

557
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: the leverage. They need, you don't, and some team is

558
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: going to have a catastrophic quarterback injury, at which point

559
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: they can probably get much more for Baker may They

560
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: can try to do a Sam Bradford trade. Yeah, exactly.

561
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: It might not be the week before the season starts

562
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: like Sam Bradford, but at some point the other way

563
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: of the quarterback that's on roster's Jacoby Brissette percent is

564
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: at is just barely back, barely back up grade. He's

565
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: he's the guy you bring in to start for a

566
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: few games later your other quarterbacks on suspension. So when

567
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: clearly Baker may feel better than Jacoby Brissette now time

568
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: heals all the wounds, Baker Mayfield wants to play well.

569
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's only in his best interest to play

570
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: well no matter where he is, including Cleveland. If he's

571
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: on the field, he should try. He also lives in

572
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: that stadium, so it's kind of hard. Yeah, a little awkward, right.

573
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: So I still think I believe there is a scenario

574
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: here if Watson MRS whatever six games, that Baker ends

575
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: up starting those those six games. I still think that's

576
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: a scenario that plays out. And I think by the

577
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: time you get to training camp. I think the hostilities,

578
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: the bad blood, it's not gonna be forever forgotten. But

579
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: I think people, you know, Baker is gonna show up

580
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: for work, He's gonna want to get paid, He's gonna

581
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: you know. I I think I think there's still a

582
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: scenario where plays out that way. I think I think

583
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: it'd be tough to stomach that one, having them trade

584
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: giant amounts from the franchise from draft capital just to

585
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: get a replacement for you. I am the two thirty million.

586
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: The Baker Mayfield probably thought, Hey, I'm you know, I'm

587
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a high paid quarterback. Yeah. So I man,

588
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: if if they don't get a draft day trade going, um,

589
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: it could be interesting to see like kind of what

590
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: happens in June and July. Um. This has been a

591
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: little bit of a strange off season in the NFL,

592
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: where some high priced players have forced their way off

593
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: of really good teams with really good quarterbacks. Players have

594
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: unprecedented leverage right now, but Baker doesn't have much. Baker

595
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,719
Speaker 1: probably doesn't have that leverage. But what he does have

596
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: is he's got a favorable contract. As you said, he's

597
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: he's got a little bit of a track record of

598
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: being a better than average rookie uh and and a

599
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: startable quarterback in the NFL. He's not one of the worst.

600
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: He's not beyond thirty three in ranks of starting quarterbacks

601
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's he's in the twenties somewhere, and

602
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: he could start for somebody for sure this year. So

603
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: let's go back to Watson for a minute. Who's gonna

604
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: be fascinated to see where he goes in drafts. He's

605
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: currently going off the board, by the way, a quarterback,

606
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: which people are clearly baking in suspension interest. As a reminder,

607
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: were one season removed from him being quarterback too in

608
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: fantasy scoring. So you know, clearly there's you know, there's

609
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: some worry about whether or not how much time he

610
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: might miss, But talk about a year off, Well, that's

611
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: the other thing. So even if he plays the opener, Matt,

612
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: if Deshaun Watson's the opening day quarterback, he will not

613
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: have played a game in six hundred sixteen days, six

614
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: two years, sixteen days, almost almost two years. So it's um,

615
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: it's there's probably gonna be some rust to knock off

616
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson one way or another when he finally

617
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: does start. But even when he does start, we know

618
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: that Kevin Stefanski is not gonna suddenly morph into air

619
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 1: core Yell. It is not going to be It's still

620
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: gonna be a run first Browns team. So let's let's

621
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: talk about Nick Chubb. Let's talk about Chubb, um. And

622
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: by the way, the way the draft format I love

623
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: for Watson is my second quarterback. So you know, if

624
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: you sloft quarterback to round, your first quarterback in round

625
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: six or seven, so you take somebody relatively safe, and

626
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: then you just take all the upside you don't like.

627
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: One round later, two rounds later, you take all the

628
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 1: upside of Watson gives at early quarterbacks for your chart.

629
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: Taking two quarterbacks in the first seven rounds maybe, but

630
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: if you don't have any through through five, I could

631
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: see it. But you're right. Usually I don't take quarterbacks

632
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: h Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Um, we've got two

633
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: seasons the data that proved that Kevin stuff Anski is

634
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: going to retain the sixty forty split between Chubb and

635
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: Hunt no matter what, including one of the other being hurt.

636
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: When Hunt goes down, Chubb doesn't suddenly get more work

637
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: and exactly um they you know it is you can

638
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: bank on the work that those guys are going to get,

639
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: even when they missed time. Stefanski does not want to

640
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: put a major grind onto either of his running backs.

641
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: I think he clearly feels and they both guys have

642
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: been dinged up on and off. You know, for the

643
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: last two years, they've both been in all the lineups,

644
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 1: they've been dinged up. I think Stefanski is very, very

645
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: methodical in making sure that his running backs don't get

646
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: too much work. I think it's been proven to be

647
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: the right way to go. There's so many teams now

648
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: that just deploy more than one running back quite often.

649
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: And Chubb is still fantasy relevant. I mean, he's still

650
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: very top five, top ten running back right now, even

651
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: if if he's a getting the workload. Chubb turned in

652
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: a four hundred yards season despite missing three games. He

653
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: averaged five and a half yards per carry, and his

654
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: rushing yards over expectation was third best in the league

655
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: by next Gen stads because he's so fresh hunt effective.

656
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: When he played, he averaged five yards per carry and

657
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: was on pace for a good receiving year. He had

658
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: five touchdowns in the first six games, all of them

659
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: on the ground, which is a little bit unusual because

660
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,479
Speaker 1: he doesn't get a lot of goal lines stuff. Although

661
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: Chubb missed some of those some of that time, but

662
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: then mostly Hunt missed like basically the whole second half

663
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: of the season. He made quick a couple of short

664
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: appearances and then that was it for him. Um but

665
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: comes back. I think I think Hun remains that to me,

666
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: that prototypical flex guy that you could start in your

667
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: flex spot. An ideal guy to start in a bye

668
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: week scenario. Yeah, good PPR back and a and a

669
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: guy who's got a you know, coin flips chance that

670
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown every week. I don't know if it's quite

671
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 1: that high. I wish it was the wide receiver situation

672
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: for Cleveland's fascinating Jarvis. Landry is off the team, but

673
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: he's he's still a free agent. He's an unsigned free agent.

674
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: I think Landry thought he was gonna get a lot

675
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: of money. He's not going to get a lot of money.

676
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: And that means that they've got Donovan. People's jones don't care.

677
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: He had a chance to shine last year. You know,

678
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: we tried. It didn't work. Anthony Schwartz don't care. Jachim

679
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: Grant comes in, but he's just a special teams you know,

680
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: role player, waterbug guy. Amari Cooper, Yeah, this becomes really fascinating.

681
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: He comes into Cleveland as the alpha receiver the Browns

682
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: have not had since I mean it was supposed to

683
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: be O'Dell wasn't though. Josh Gordon t was the last

684
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: time this the Browns. That was for like five games

685
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: more than that actually, but yes, but he had the

686
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: monster season that's a decade ago. Um. Not only is

687
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 1: Cooper by far the most talented with the Browns receivers,

688
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: but the team also as one hundred seventy vacated wide

689
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: receiver targets hundred seventy. If Cooper plays the full season,

690
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: he will be among the league leaders and targets. Yeah,

691
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: he should be. And if some of those targets are

692
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: coming from the arm of Deshaun Watson and that arm

693
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: is even eighty percent of what it was in Houston,

694
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm very interested in Annamari Cooper. Yeah he should. He

695
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: should see the little green arrow going up on his

696
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: rainout the off season. So let me ask you this.

697
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,479
Speaker 1: Cooper is known for the disappearing game. The Giant game,

698
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: disappearing game, Giant game, and it's been this way for

699
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: most of his career. It was that way last year

700
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: as well. Hurt a lot last year as well, and

701
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 1: nobly played through a lot of it. Do you believe

702
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: that this change of scenery, the combination with Watson for

703
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: as many games he gives, knowing there's no there's so

704
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: few other help among the receivers, does this become the

705
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: year that Amari Cooper evens out his production? Yeah, it

706
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: could be. I mean, the target loads should be there,

707
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: if he's if he's getting eight to ten gets a game,

708
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: which I think isn't crazy. I think that that would

709
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: even him out, and his low water mark would be

710
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: like six catches sixty five yards and and that's not terrible.

711
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: That's twelve and a half PPR points right there. Correct, Correct,

712
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm very interested. Let's go to the tight end position.

713
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper has gone. David and Joco got the franchise tag,

714
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: which shocked me. Eleven million dollars for David Joku. David

715
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: and Joku, he's really a run blocking tight end. He's

716
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: gonna be out there to block for Hunt and Chub.

717
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: I think the Ninjoku tag was a vote of no

718
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: confidence in Harrison Bryant. Remember Harrison Bryant finished that rookie

719
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: year two years ago and he looked very promising. There

720
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: were these these splashy spot moments for him. Last year,

721
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: Harrison Bryant had fewer catches and fewer yards. Yeah, I

722
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: mean Austin Hooper is out of the way though, uh

723
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: and In Joku is on the franchise tag, which, as

724
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: everyone knows, as a one year deal. It's kind of

725
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: a hey, let's what you got, prove it. We're gonna

726
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: give you a lot of money this year. Let's see

727
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: what happens. I don't know. Harrison Bryant should have every

728
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: opportunity to be the past catching tight end there. He's

729
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: a guy that in Best Ball I'd want to take,

730
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: like with one of my last picks in the draft,

731
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 1: is my second or third tight end, just on the

732
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: upside of maybe two or three games where he kind

733
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: of blows up, which you can never predict, you know.

734
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 1: The to this point, Stefanski's offenses have fed tight ends

735
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: Matt but you could never know which tight end. You know,

736
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: it's just a Hooper game and a Joco game or

737
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: a Bryant game, and it very very hard for fantasy

738
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: owners to to correctly guess. Even back when he was

739
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, it was Rudolph and IRV Smith and and

740
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: and there were several different guys. But yeah, so um

741
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: I and Joe Wu currently going in the round. It

742
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: might it feels about right, maybe a little high, Brian.

743
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm just I need I feel like I need to

744
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: see more from Briant. I honestly, I don't think I'm

745
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: gonna take in Joku at that price. I think that

746
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: that price is even a little high for for David

747
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: and Joku there, but the targets are going to be there,

748
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 1: and it probably makes me more interested in Kareem Hunt

749
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: and Nick Chubb from a past receiving standpoint, just because

750
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: I think that they have to be more involved with

751
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: this weird slate of wide receivers and tight ends who

752
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: really haven't totally proved it. That's how the Browns go

753
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: get one of the You know, there's about nine pretty

754
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: promising wide receivers in this draft. Browns need one. They don't.

755
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: They don't have any draft packs, so they just it's

756
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: deep enough. Do they have a second this year? I

757
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: don't know. That they even have a second Looking it

758
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: up right now, you do have a second pick at

759
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: and that would be that's a perfect spot to get

760
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: one of those wide receivers that will fall. There will

761
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,919
Speaker 1: be there will be a there will be a wide

762
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: receiver in this draft at at pick forty four, um,

763
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: middle of the second round that would normally in a

764
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: different year wheres that's not step at receiver would be

765
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: going end of first round. Sure, how do you feel

766
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: about this this We haven't gotten into the rookies yet,

767
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: but how do you feel about this wide receiver class?

768
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: Because I've heard everybody saying it's a really good wide

769
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: receiver class, but overall the rookie class is seen as

770
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: kind of down and I've heard, I've heard a few

771
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: pretty good draft outs say this wide receiver class might

772
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: not be as good as everybody thinks it is. They

773
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: might just kind of be willing it to be good

774
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 1: because the rest of this draft from a rookie perspective

775
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: in the fantasy angle, is a little boring. I don't

776
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: think this is the the year of from Now three

777
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: drafts ago with Jefferson and Um Well Reagor went in

778
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: that draft as a mistake. We had the Dallas guy

779
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: a Ceedee Lamb. But you know that year. I don't

780
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: think we're gonna I don't think this year is that year.

781
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: But there is h It is a It is a

782
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: deep year of really good talent. And if I had

783
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: to put a guy that you could get in that

784
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: second round just where we are right now, I'm interested

785
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: in sky More. Who's a who who play can play

786
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: the slot, can play outside Western Michigan. I thought I

787
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: thought he just looking at his tape. He is a

788
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: fearless guy who could get free down field and projects

789
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: as a borderline explosive slot receiver, and he could fill

790
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: right into the Javar Jarvis Landry spot. Yeah. I think

791
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very interesting how the tail end of

792
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: the first round goes with the Packers needing a wide

793
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: receiver and having too late picks, the Chiefs having needing

794
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and having too late picks. There's there's

795
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: guys in the top of the second round that need

796
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: another wide receiver. Did you say Kansas City? Yeah? Yeah,

797
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: Kansas City? Yea, um so, I I think Detroit end

798
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: of the first round, beginning of the second round of

799
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: both yeah, end of the first the beginning of the

800
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 1: second both of them for sure. So there's a there's

801
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: a lot of teams out there that are wide receiver needy,

802
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: and we could see six seven wide receivers off the

803
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: board before it gets to the Browns at forty four.

804
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: They might have to trade up if they think that

805
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: they need to see cure wide receiver. Browns Mite, great

806
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: job breaking down the Bengals and the Steelers. Thank you,

807
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: appreciate that great job with the Browns. I thank you

808
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: very much. I mean, we don't give you enough credit charge.

809
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm just my life's filled with credit, don't It's filled

810
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: with credit and big boar barbecue and big boar barbecue

811
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: and coffee in the shower. Tried to go to big

812
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: coffee in the shower. It's I don't see what's so

813
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: weird about this. I've had shower beers before. I didn't

814
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: even know shower beers are the It was a thing

815
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: until two days ago when I posted about taking your

816
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: yetti you're covered yetti coffee mug into the shower. Why not,

817
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: You're it's morning. I've got my shop, my got my

818
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: coffee with me. I enjoy coffee. Why do I have

819
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: to go seven eight minutes without coffee while I'm in

820
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: the shower. You can't go seven or eight minutes. I can.

821
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: I have my whole life. But why why do I

822
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: have to? Why can't I just bring my mug into

823
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: the shower. I think you should build some sort of

824
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: like Rube Goldberg contraption in your shower or where like

825
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: you can take a little sip from a straw of

826
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: like hot perfectly mixed coffee. For you, one of the

827
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: streams coming out of the shower head is coffee. You

828
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: got the second shower hand, Just turn it on. I

829
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: like that idea open mouth hot coffee. Just shower with it.

830
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 1: It's probably good for you. It probably exfoliates your skin

831
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: for your hair burn you. I mean, if it's the

832
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: same temperature as the hot water in your shower. I

833
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: mean people think people think it's weird just because they're

834
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: not doing it. If you do what, it's not weird,

835
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. And this is the whatever stupid stuff

836
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: they decided to throw into the show portion of the

837
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: show doubt that's trying to go to Big Boar uh

838
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 1: last weekend. I'm like, okay, we planned it all out

839
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,800

840
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:55,040
