Now, 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:26.040 here's your host, Paul. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.680 Paul charchy In. My co host is Brian Johnson as 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:37.760 usual and Brian Big Friday, Big Friday, Lots of movement Friday, 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.199 the huge trade between the San Francisco forty Niners and 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:46.120 the Miami Dolphins, and madness. Some might call it. I 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.720 like it. It's the NFL version of March Madness. We're 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.440 going to talk about all the ramifications of that trade 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.360 and then many of the other free agent moves that 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.360 we deemed worthy. Now, last week we did two positions. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.360 We did quarterbacks and wide receives. This week we're going 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.200 to do the free agent moves among running backs and 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.440 tight ends. But we'll also fill in the blanks about 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:10.600 new things that happened with last week's topic the quarterbacks 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.479 and primarily wide receivers. So lots to get to. Let's 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.920 start with the crazy trade on Friday, though the Niners 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:22.360 give up a this to move up from twelve to 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.400 three nine spots, they give up a first round pick 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:28.960 this year, first round pick, next year, first round pick 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.600 the next year after that, this year's third round pick. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:39.720 That's a ton of capital. That's as I can't imagine 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.319 them giving any more to you just you just you 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.360 can't give more than that to make this kind of move. 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.120 And so let's talk about to follow. Let's start with 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.200 the forty Niner side of this. What do you think 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:56.320 this means for forty Niners and the especially the young 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.400 receiver group that they've got there. Well, they've got a 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:03.360 quarterback in mind obviously, right Francis, they must like at 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.640 least three quarterbacks in this draft. You could never make 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.600 that tray and yeah, and it's not gonna be Trevor Lawrence, 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.560 know and so it's really now it's Zack Wilson and 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:20.200 Justin Fields, right, Zach don't. So it's all ability is 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.760 very important for Kyle Shanahan. I mean, he loves to 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:28.680 have those extended plays with the rolling quarterback. Yeah, but 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.640 they don't know who it's gonna be. It's almost like 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:35.160 they'll they're ready to quote unquote settle for someone at three, right, 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.000 whether it's one of you, I don't think the view 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.160 it that way. You can't give three first round picks 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:43.800 if you're settling at quarterball was for lack of better terms, 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:48.240 But they don't know the quarterbacks are gonna be available 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.360 at three, but they have. They must like three quarterbacks. 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:56.359 They must feel like any of those. So I don't know. 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.320 I don't think. I don't think it's to me. I 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.520 don't I don't. Well, we'll see. I don't know that 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.680 it's I don't know that Wilson's in this. We'll see 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.360 for this year. I don't think it bodes extremely well 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.120 for the receivers for the forty niners, not like Jimmy 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.120 Garoppolo is the starter. Makes me that much more excited. 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.239 But I don't know. It's a big move, but it 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.400 almost feels like a move for the future, not a 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.440 not a win now move, because they're certainly mortgaging their 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.440 their future beyond this year. Yeah, I I do agree 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.720 with that. But if they especially if they keep Garoppolo 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.079 like they say, they're going to keep Garoppolo now. Right, 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.239 So with thein moments of trade going down, all of 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:38.240 a sudden, Adam Schefter and uh Ian Rappaport and Albert Breer. 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.080 They're all reporting the same thing, which is I'm hearing 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.840 the Niners are gonna hold Jimmy Garoppolo. Now. If that's 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.360 the case, that tells me the Niners are still in 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.520 like wind wind now mode and they're gonna go to 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.920 World two quarterbacks in case one of them does not 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.000 work out, They've got another guy. If this rookie isn't 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.920 ready to make a super Bowl run this year, they'll 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.720 have Jimmy Garopolo brought the super Bowl two years ago. Yeah, 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.960 from from a fantasy perspective, it's essentially a lateral move 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:10.120 for George Kittle, rand Now, Yuk Tebo Samuel. Because Jimmy 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:14.200 g likely to start the season. Then whatever rookie they draft, 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.280 we assume he comes in at quarter point midpoint of 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:23.080 the season. It won't be a downgrade from Jimmy Garopolo, 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.760 probably maybe a slate upgrade. So it doesn't really move 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.040 the needle for me. When it comes to the forty, 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.440 Niners will be nine receivers basically, so I think what 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.360 the Niners may be doing here, Brian, they just gave 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.200 up three first round picks to get out of starting 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:41.440 Jimmy Garoppolo, So clearly Garoppolo is not in their long 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.280 term plans. I think they're going to be patient and 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.760 wait and find out which quarterback blows out is a 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.960 c L and training camp and then moved moved Jimmy 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:54.440 Garoppolo for as much equity as they can get. People. 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.600 It's not quite the herschel Walker trade, but man, they 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.800 gave up a lot to move nine spots and not 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.239 even the Ricky Williams trade, which is below the herschel 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.000 Walker trade. But man, it's in that convo, it's in 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.919 the ballpark. They better nail this sick. It does feel 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.240 like it now From a dynasty standpoint, I love this 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.120 for the young receiving group of the forty Niners, for 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.680 Deebo Samuel and George Kittle and Brandon Ayuk. This is 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.919 to me, this is all, this is all great news. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.039 And whoever they end up drafting the forty Niners, that 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.599 is the the QB two in uh your dynasty rookie 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.200 drafts moving forward? I mean, Trevor Lawrence is gonna be 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:34.760 the first one. But now this guy, because of the 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:39.919 tools around whoever and whoever the Jets take, why not 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:44.320 QB one. I get Kyle, I get a Kyle Shanahan 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.360 coached team, um, which is very important. I get all 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.680 of those great young receivers with him. Whoever goes here 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.320 might be dynasty quarterback number one this year. You might. 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.640 You might be right, but not like this year. But 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.240 we'll turn into the QB one from this class within 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.360 a year or two years. It's talented, right, but he 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.599 drops into arguably the worst position out of any of 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.120 the first four quarterbacks that are going to be drafted. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.040 By the way, I think, for the first time in 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.320 NFL history, we're gonna have quarterbacks go with the first 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:18.920 four picks. That's what I was about to ask. Has 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.040 there been There hasn't been. The top three have gone 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:26.840 quarterback before. Certainly tops to yeah, certainly top two many 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.520 times U. Yeah, And I'm sure three has to. But 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.000 but four has never happened before. Okay, let's talk about 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:36.200 this from the Miami side. The the Laramie Tunsil trade 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:40.160 just continues to be unbelievable for them. They've now turned 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:45.520 Laramie Tunsil into four first round picks, which we've heard 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.400 above average tackle and the main catalyst, of course, going 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:56.719 back to that draft day was unbelievable, unbelievable. So Miami 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.320 clearly gonna stick with two that's come out of this 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.680 even after Miami. So Miami went to pick twelve, and 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.320 then they went up to pick six later on Friday, 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.400 um with their trade for Philadelphia. Philadelphia gave up an 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.280 extra first round pick to move six spots. And the 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.040 weird thing is they're not even a position to take 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.920 a quarterback from here. They moved up six spots to 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.280 get like a tackle. I don't know that's gonna be. 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.840 That was another one. Just Miami crushed at the front office, 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:27.720 just crushing. I love their offseason moves Will Fuller and others, 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.360 and now now this so a great, great opportunity for them. Now, 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.960 the teams that get screwed out of this this deal 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:38.960 on Friday, the Panthers and the Broncos. These were teams 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:44.200 picking eight and nine, and both teams heavily repeatedly rumored 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.360 to be looking to make a quarterback up grade. Bryan, 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.240 Now they're dead because now these quarterbacks are gonna go. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.240 They're gonna, like I said, I think they go one, two, three, 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.400 four in quarterbacks. And when none of those four are 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.080 gonna hit pick eight, and it's became that much harder 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.120 to try to trade up for one. It's the the 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.760 Mac the Max scrap that they're gonna be vying for 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:08.120 Mac Jones. I think they're now then, and I don't. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.000 I don't think anyone wants to be talking themselves into 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.760 Mac Jones. But I see I don't. I don't love him. No, 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.000 I think I don't. I don't know that the small 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.000 pocket of people there are there are there are Chris 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.160 Simms loves him. There are people who do so if 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.680 you're the Panthers of the Broncos now, and by the way, 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.880 we let's be clear, the Jets are not moving the Jet. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.240 The fact that the Jets didn't take this deal because 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:31.960 you know, the Niners called the Jets and offered the 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.080 same thing to the Jets and the Jets said no. 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.760 So you know they're taking a quarterback. So um, this 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.880 means the Jets staying quarterback. So we know the top 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:44.400 three going quarterbacks Panthers and Broncos would have to try 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.920 to maybe move up to Atlanta at pick four is 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.000 about the only thing they can do if they want 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.320 to try to get a quarterback. Otherwise, you could try 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.640 to fear the panthers of the Broncos. You could trade 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.880 for a quarterback who is sixteen pending sexual assault lawsuits 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.920 against him. You could rate for Jimmy Garoppolo um a 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.319 quarterback who was so unwanted that the Niners spent three 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.840 first round picks to avoid him. Or you could do 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.720 the mac Jones as you mentioned. You could trade up 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.160 with Atlanta, Cincinnati maybe, or you just start the guys. 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.920 You've got Carolina and Denver should make a play for 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.679 Gardner Minshew. In my opinion, he would come in and 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.400 push both Bridgewater Andrew Lock on the Denver side. And 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.760 you can get Minshew for a song now because they're 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.720 all in on Trevor Lawrence of course in Jacksonville. So yeah, 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.200 for sure. Okay, let's talk about some of the some 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.080 of the other big moose that happened from the wide 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.679 receiver position since our last podcast, Brian, and then we'll 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.200 go to running backs and we will go to tight ends. 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:44.800 Uh in totality for this free agency period. So we 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.839 begin with Kenny Golladay going to the Giants. This is 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:51.000 your former team, the Giants, they have now loaded with 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.760 offensive talent. Are around Daniel Jones did really other than 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.440 the offensive line, although in credib and fairness they put 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.839 a lot of They've really tried to show up for 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.440 that line. It just hasn't worked. Um they've given They're 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.960 gonna give Daniel Jones every opportunity to succeed this year. Yeah, 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.440 I'm more excited for Daniel Jones. I am Kenny Golladay. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.000 There's still there's competition for Galladay when it comes to targets. 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.840 Sterling Shepard still a factor, of course. I mean Golladay 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:19.360 is the best wide receiver on the team. Will get 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.559 me wrong by law Evan Ingram. We think he sticks 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.000 around and then a healthy say Kwan Barkley is gonna 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:29.320 command touches via the ground and the past. So I 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.559 still like Golliday. I think people might get a little 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.360 too over excited about him, bump him into the you know, 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.000 wide receiver twenty range. He was about wide receiver late 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.400 twenties before the news And this doesn't really change a 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.760 whole lot for me, but it makes the whole offense 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.360 better and it boosts Daniel Jones is stock for sure, 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.160 it does. Jones is the winner here. Holliday is probably 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.600 the loser because he goes down, He goes down in 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.480 the quarterback quality that's throwing him, goes down a full 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:59.480 step from Matthew Stafford to Daniel Jones embarrass If he 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:03.680 stayed into Troit, he would add, that was what happened. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.040 That's right, that's right. So, um, Daniel Jones becomes to 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:11.439 me a very intriguing young player. And you know, as 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:15.400 a reminder that he played arguably the hardest schedule against 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:19.160 the past last year. Um, he he does make some 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.160 really good and really bad throws and you just you know, 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.280 part of that I just chalk up to him just 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.440 style a play and also just him learning on the job. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.600 This becomes a mak or break year for Daniel Jones. 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:32.320 And unlike the Jets who had a similarly you know, 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.160 young quarterback couple of years in the league shrouded with 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.720 no talent, and the Jets really don't know what they 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:42.559 have in Sam Donald. The the Giants are gonna find 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.800 out everything they need to know about Daniel Jones this 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.040 year and have a have an answer one way or another, 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.720 barring major injury to his weapons they have. Daniel Jones 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.199 doesn't get it done this year, then hopefully Getleman realizes 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.000 it's time to move on. But I'll for himself move 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:02.160 himself on. But yeah, ide both be hitchhiking on the 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:06.520 parkway or the turn play together. Uh, t Y Hilton 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.880 stays in Indianapolis. He turned down the Ravens for the 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.439 opportunity to stay with the team he's been a part 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.920 of for ten years. And no one wants to be 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:20.200 wide receiver in Baltimore. Baltimore's tried to team Johnson can 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.640 run because schusterdal I'll take less money and stay with 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:28.400 Ben Roethlisberger's arm. Yeah, t Y Hilton, this is the 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:33.080 last It was a one year deal. He's at that age. 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.640 He should have went for the money. But I know 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.400 we're just talking fantasy here, but it doesn't move the needle. 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.000 He's on the decline. And you know, there's an obviously 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:47.160 quarterback change in indeed, from Rivers to Wentz, which is 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.520 kind of a lateral move. There's probably more upside. Where 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.120 is more upside with Wentz. The arm is so much 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.280 better than what Rivers had at the end of his career. 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.560 But uh this the overall quarterbacking my not be that 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.000 great for wins. The jury is still out on that, 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.000 but Yeah, Hilton still where he is. He's a a 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.840 wide receives he's a bench player in redrafts and uh, 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.240 you know Dart in best Ball, but nothing too exciting. 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.120 Staying in Indie, the Lions picked up what might be 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.680 their wide receiver one in Brishad Perriman. Yeah, it might 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.040 be the best receiver on roster. Well, and then Tyrell 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.840 Williams we talked about last week. That's like the gross 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.640 that's like the most highly contested battle for the least 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:33.400 exciting wide receiver one in the NFL. Tyrelle Williams, I 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.800 think Paman, if you can find the right spots, I 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.040 actually think he's gonna be good. And here's why the 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.600 Lions are gonna be losing a ton and assuming Pairman 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.680 can stay healthy, there's gonna be a lot of just 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.200 bombs away trying to catch up from behind, a lot 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.160 of passing from golf and a lot of these games. 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.800 Is the Lions are obviously in a major rebuild, So 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:53.800 I think Pairman is gonna be one of those guys 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.680 you can just you can plug in from time to time. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.439 He'll be a super fun DFS guy and always has been. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.080 You can hit those big games of Harriman, you get 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.199 paid big bank. Yeah, we're looking at a hundred plus 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.400 targets easily from Perriman. So he's fantasy viable for sure. 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.000 Last last receiver I want to mention that signed since 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.480 our last show, DeShawn Jackson. He'll play for two games 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.760 for the Rams and then get hurt. Speaking of intriguing 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.720 DFS plays, that's all. He's the best ball guy you want, 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.560 you want to stash on your bench. But if he 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.320 stays healthy, he'll make some noises year. I'm sure when 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.120 Antonio Brown won the Super Bowl he was like, yes, 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.480 I'm gonna get this big pay day, and you know 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.040 teams are gonna be clamoring for me. I I was 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:39.040 a a significant cog to a Super Bowl team, Crickets 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.520 for Antonio Brown, including his old team that has brought 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:48.280 back basically the entire team except Antonio Brown had the 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.160 franchise tag on Chris Godwin did not help Brown's prospects 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.200 for the If that didn't happen, then it was probably 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.720 a foregone conclusion he'd resigned with Tampa Bay. But you 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.400 know they like Scottie Miller, young guy, so at they're 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:04.760 they're they're pretty heavy at receivers so and a couple 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.920 of weeks ago, we mentioned Brown seems like the only 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.560 Blakely landing place at this point in his career and 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.000 his mindset. What Brown is, what landing place or not 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.120 re landing place in Tampa Bay, in Tampa's he needs 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.000 to stay with Tom Brady, does need to stay with 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.360 Tom Brady anybody else. I think that's part of the 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.240 concern is if you're any other team who has even 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.880 passing into Santonio Brown, you gotta ask yourself, which am 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.840 I gonna sure he was? He was fine while he 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.160 was living in god Brady's house, Baltimore. No one wants 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.840 to play wide receiver Baltimore. About double revenge games with 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.800 the Steelers. Against the Steelers, I should say, let's go 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.640 is a double revenge or single revenge? We'll double in 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.680 that he gets the get the get Okay, all right, 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.560 I'm with you on that. We'll take a break when 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.520 we come back. Let's go through the free agent running 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:56.280 backs Chris Carson, Kenyan, Drake James White, Philip Lindsay uh 0:15:56.320 --> 0:16:00.240 and many others notable running backs. Leonard four Nette talked 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.560 about the Bucks bringing back the gang. Leonard four Nett 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.920 and him staying with Tampa. We'll talk about the fantasy 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.560 implications of the running backs when we come back to 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.480 Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Giargian 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:16.480 and Brian Johnson with you. Let's recap the salient free 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.560 agent running back moves from this off season, beginning with 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.240 Chris Carson, who resigns with Seattle. To me, this was 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:28.120 the best possible outcome for Chris Carson, and especially with 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.080 Carlos Hide gone. Now the only thing that and they 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.640 is a team that's traditionally used a workhorse, it'll beat 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.840 Chris Carson. I I feel like he's vastly underappreciated, and 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.440 I don't see Rashad Penny as a threat. How do 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.720 you see this? Yeah, I'm with you. This is the 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:48.080 best case scenario for Carson staying in Seattle. Touched on 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.120 this a couple of weeks ago. The most rushing yards 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.320 since eighteens of the last three years regular season games 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:58.320 only Derrick Henry number one, Ezekiel Elliott number two, Dalvin 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.920 Cook number three, Chris Carson. Report So people, listeners, no 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.600 listener would have thought that, and that the line is 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:10.920 essentially been garbage his whole tenure thrown down the gauntlet 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.080 on this right, and if the front office is going 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.320 to keep him, they need to protect him. But there 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.280 there there. Maybe we're a couple landing places that would 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.439 been a little more enticing for Carson, but staying in 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.239 Seattle is just fine, and he's undervalued right now. He's 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:29.000 a guy everyone should be targeting in Dynasty, redraft all 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.440 of it. I'm with you, um. One of the other 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.960 landing places that could have worked out for Chris Carson 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.840 was Atlanta, and instead they signed Mike Davis on a 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.800 very cheap deal, and we saw Davis look awfully good 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.960 and he walks into a three down starting role in Atlanta. 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.520 He kind of reminds me. I feel like I'll be 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.440 reminded of the Michael the Burner Turner days kind of. 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.639 They kind of see my comparable players. But yeah, I 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.520 love the move a lot. Falcon is always a potent offense. 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.520 Like you said, he's likely walking into a Bell roll. 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.480 Todd Gurley long gone, not like he was much of 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.480 a factor. And speaking of double revenge games, he gets 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.560 Carolina twice a year now that he's the Falcons. And 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.879 then I did extended to research because Davis has been around. 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.720 He gets San Francisco this year too. Oh yeah, he's 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.160 he started there. I think, well they drafted him and yeah, 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.800 but he had a little bit marred injury history. But 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.760 sadly no Bears or Seahawks on the schedule because he 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:27.120 could have had the quintuple revenge game because he's all 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.800 been in the NFC. So I like to move from 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.399 Mike Davis and I like to move for Atlanta. Like 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.560 you said, got him on the cheap, and that's a 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.320 three down starter that nobody's really gonna be thinking about. 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:38.480 And he's gonna be an RB two this he's top 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:42.000 twenty four range right now, easily for Kenyan. Drake goes 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.280 to the Raiders for two years. He will back up 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.680 the oft injured Josh Jacobs and they're talking about having 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.600 him play a little wide out as well, which whatever. 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.960 I don't care about that, but um that we've seen 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.359 the backups behind Josh Jacobs, have you know been plug 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.959 and play guys, and you know Jacobs does get hurt 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:01.480 a lot. Yeah, Drake pretty much the one the key 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.920 handcuffs going into the season. If you invest in Josh 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.040 Jacobs and yeah, like you said they want to use 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.760 him at wide receiver. I'm not saying you can't catch 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.840 the ball. He's proven he can over the course of 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.640 his career. Short career, but top fifteen receiving yards once 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:18.320 last year with zero touchdown. So yeah, let's Kenyan Drake 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.879 wide receiver. Okay. James James White resigns with the Patriots. 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.080 His usage basically fell in half of Tom Brady out. 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.399 I don't I'm not very interested in this move now, 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:31.439 and if DA best bet um, we'll see what they 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.800 do at quarterback. Patriots aren't done at the quarterback position. 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.320 I don't believe, and that that could change our evaluation 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.119 of James White. Philip Lindsay goes to the Texans a 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.080 one year, three half million dollar deal. I think this 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:44.160 is the worst possible landing spot for Philip Lindsay. He's 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.280 gonna have to battle David Johnson and mark Ingram and 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.000 I just think it's it's just too many miles to 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:55.000 see the grossest backfield, terrible offense with we don't even 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.879 know the starting quarterback. Is gonna be a bad offensive line, 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.880 and there's nothing to like here. Yeah, three years ago, 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.399 these these guys are top twenty four running backs on 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.600 draft day now, all on the same team, and I 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.679 don't want to touch any of them. Damian Williams signs 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.000 one year deal with the Bears, and you'll remember the 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:16.360 Damien Williams knows Matt Nage's offense from Kansas City and 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:18.840 he was with Bill Laser when he was with the Dolphins, 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.680 if you go back to previous spot. So a schematic 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:25.679 fit here for Damien Williams and he backs up David Montgomery. 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.360 And you know, while Montgomery clearly looked better last year, 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:32.160 you know, I still think there's a plenty of room 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:36.040 for Damien Williams to have a role in this offense. 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.080 Three Cohen will come back though, and muddy the words 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.480 as well. Yeah, you basically touched on it. All bad 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.600 news from Montgomery. Basically, Williams will soak up some touches 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:45.920 in a three Cohen who played what to three games 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.399 last year. But we're getting hurt clearly that the alpha 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.800 receiving back on that team. So yeah, Montgomery is gonna 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.000 go way too high this year. That's gonna be I'm 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:58.520 it's March. I'm planting my flag in don't follow the 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:02.160 adp on David Montgomery. It was justified before this move 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.119 really because he did, like you said, you look great 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.560 second half of the year last year. It's a little strong. 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:11.560 Great for David Montgomery or for a Bear. No knock 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:16.200 on Allen Robinson, Ellen Robinson, you agreed to well Bears runners. 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:19.879 I hear Peyton was good. Yeah. Uh. Jamal Williams signs 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:23.320 in Detroit for two years. Uh. The market was really 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.119 pretty soft for Jamal Williams. But he gets out of 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:30.159 Green Bay and that it ends up that we have 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.680 the resigning. Well, let's maybe we should go back to 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.960 the resigning. So Aaron Jones resigns in Green Bay, Jamal 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:39.600 Williams goes to Detroit. For Aaron Jones, it's a pretty 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.439 good it's a pretty good outcome. He was already a 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.320 top five fantasy running back and now Jamal Williams out 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.520
