1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, it is Monday, August two. Welcome to

2
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show where we're just putting good

3
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: reps on tape. It's been your man, nam J, Marcus Grant,

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: Michael left, Florio here to my left, we have producer Randy.

5
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: We've got a whole crew of specialists. I should probably

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: let you know it's a Monday and we are here

7
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: with you. Normally it's just been Wednesdays, but now that

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: we are approaching the start of an actual football season,

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: we're back to two days a week, so Mondays and

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Wednesdays you can find us. I will also be doing

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: streaming shows as well, so you can see our happy,

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: pretty shiny faces at some point in the very near future.

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: But for now we're gonna be slumming in our T

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: shirts and pumas. Can I say that? I guess did anyway? Uh? Yeah, Floria,

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: we actually had we had a football ish game on

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: last week, so it's back now, it's back, and this

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: week we get a full slate of football games, so

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: like we're really back then, we are really back now.

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: So certainly later in the week we may kind of

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: look into some of those games, but we have plenty

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: to do. We are several weeks out from the start

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: of the regular season, but it felt like this was

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: a good time for us to do our division previews.

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: So on each show we will look at the four

25
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: teams in each of the eight NFL division. Today we

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: started off with the a f C East. But before

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,639
Speaker 1: we jump into that, there are some news headlines worth

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: talking about. The first one coming out of Cleveland. Kareem

29
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Hunt says he wants to be traded. The Browns are like,

30
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: that's cool, We're not doing it. So that's a good

31
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: friend of mine said to me many many years ago.

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: It's good to want things, uh, But Kareem says he

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: wants out. Um. This is a backfield that the last

34
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: couple of years we've seen it split between Kareem Hunt

35
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: and Nick Chubb. We've seen during the earnest Johnson step

36
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: in there and get some work too. At times. It's

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: a muddled situation. For now, it looks like Hunt is

38
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: staying in Cleveland. But when it comes to his a

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: d P in drafting him, is this something we should

40
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: be paying attention to? Yeah, I think so, because right

41
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: now I think his ADPs is a good spot for

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: what his like floor and ceiling kind of are with

43
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: the Browns because we know with Cleveland that Nick chub

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: is going to get all the early downs work. Dernis

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: Johnson is a potential threat to steal some work there

46
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: as well. But if they were to trade him, and

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: let's say a team that needs a running back like

48
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: the Bills or the Eagles or someone like that, were

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: to go out and say like, hey, we could use

50
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: Cream Hunt services on our team, then I think his

51
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: ceiling shoots up to potentially in RB one. So definitely

52
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: something to consider here. And this reminds me a lot

53
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield, right Like when Baker was like I

54
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: want out, they were like, cool, We're not gonna trade you,

55
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: and then eventually did. So this seems like maybe the

56
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: Browns are trying to keep hunts value high. It could be.

57
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: I mean, let's keep in mind of the last couple

58
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: of seasons. Two of the last three seasons he has

59
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: not played full years. Last year was because of injury

60
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: two years ago when he first got to Cleveland. It

61
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: was a suspension that kept him out for half the season.

62
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: But when he is healthy, when he is on the field,

63
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: we have seen that he can be in RB one.

64
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: Although it's funny when you look at it, he hasn't

65
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: really come close to what that rookie season was in

66
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City. UM. There are a variety of reasons for this,

67
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: but the fact is he just has not produced anything

68
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: close to that. But we know what he can be.

69
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: So speaking of what he can be, what do you

70
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: have as his ceiling for this year? Is he and

71
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: RB two? Where do you have him slotted right now?

72
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: If he stays with the Browns, I have him ranked

73
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: as an RB three because I think most weeks that's

74
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: what he'll be. He'll be very similar, I think, to

75
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: like a Tony Pollard, who has more explosiveness and could

76
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: have a big week here and there, but because there's

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: gonna be another running back that gets the bulk of

78
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: the touches, he's gonna be limited a lot of those games.

79
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: But if he gets set free and goes somewhere else

80
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: other than Cleveland where he's not behind a guy who's

81
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna get all of the work, like a Nick Chubb,

82
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: and then I think his upside goes up tremendously. And

83
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: I also think we should be drafting Dern's Johnson right

84
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: now because it costs nothing but a like a late,

85
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: late round pick to get him. I think that's that's

86
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: probably the more astute point, right is that you know,

87
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: all this talk of ub and Hunt, the earnest Johnson's

88
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: just sitting there. He's basically free in drafts right now.

89
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: So he's probably worth picking on right now. I will

90
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: say this for Hunt and you and I talked with

91
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Matt Donnelly last week about the brown situation. We talked

92
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: about it in terms of DeShawn Watson and what this

93
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: means for him. But knowing that at least for the

94
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: first six weeks of the season, Deshaun Watson is not

95
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: going to be there. You know, we we hit on

96
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: the fact that cream Hunt might end up getting more

97
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: targets in the short term with Jacoby bur said there,

98
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: so if he does stay in Cleveland, maybe at least

99
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: in the short term, he's got a little extra value perhaps. Yeah.

100
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: And I know when Matt brought up last week, I

101
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: think he brought up a genius point. It was like,

102
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: you can everyone is discounting the Browns running backs for

103
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: the whole year because of what we expect to happen

104
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: with DeShawn Watson when he's active. You could draft them,

105
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: use them the first month or so, and then sell

106
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: high and try to get even more than you drafted

107
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: them for, and then you're like, all right, I don't

108
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: gotta worry what this offense looks like once de Shaun

109
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: is back. Yeah, So I think that's something definitely to

110
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: keep in mind to get closer to the start of

111
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: the season. Over to Las Vegas. The Raiders played in

112
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 1: Ohio in the Hall of Fame game last week against

113
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, and what caught a lot of people's

114
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: attention was the fact that Josh Jacobs got a lot

115
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: of work early in that game seven touches. I think

116
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: he played multiple series, was very much involved in the

117
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: early part of the offense for the Raiders, and they

118
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: got people wondering are they trying to showcase him to

119
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: move him. The Raiders say they don't want to trade

120
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, and I read that headline and the first

121
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: thing that popped into my head was the Raiders, we

122
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: don't want to trade Josh Jacob's T shirt has people

123
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: asking a lot of questions already answered by their T shirt. Um,

124
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: maybe they don't really want to trade him, but should

125
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: we read something into the fact that he got so

126
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: much work in the Hall of Fame game. I think so,

127
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Like I I tweeted out because first of all, the

128
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: Raiders didn't come out with like an inactive So when

129
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: that game started, I was like, all right, we're not

130
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: gonna see any of their starters. And then I was like, wait,

131
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: that that's just Jacobs. And then the second drive, I

132
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: was like, that is still Josh Jacobs out there, Like

133
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Um, they declined his fifth

134
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: year option. To me, this is a new GM, new

135
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: head coach. They owe nothing to Josh Jacobs. I think

136
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: that he will still be their lead back this year.

137
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: But to me, the fact that they used him, Amir Dula,

138
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: Zamir White, Kenyan Drake, it seems like a team searching

139
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: for a starting running back. So I don't like Josh jaking.

140
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, even with his ADP being like a low

141
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: end RB two, unlike the complete bottom, could come out

142
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: this year. If they don't trade him, he could just

143
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: be in a full out committee and that's gonna be gross.

144
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: For fact, that's the part that scares me, right because

145
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: going into that game, we we mentioned the name Zamir White.

146
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: It's just the guy to kind of keep an eye on,

147
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: just to see what what his situation was going to be. Um,

148
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: they did work him in, but you're right, they used

149
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: a whole lot of guys in that offense. One one

150
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: of the things that was sort of weird is that

151
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders actually had like Derek Carr and Vante Adams

152
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: like in uniform. Neither of them played, but they were

153
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: both in uniform. It's it's like a weird hatriot mind

154
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: trick thing. I think they didn't release an inactive It's

155
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: like it's the Hall of Fame game, Like what are

156
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: we doing? No money? What's like, you know, the Jaguars

157
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: didn't play around like Trevor Lawrence was, you know, in

158
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: civilian clothes. Ten was, you know they were. It's like

159
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: they look like they look like high school football players.

160
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: I got a Friday Valley right. They had like jeans

161
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: and their jerseys on. They're the varsity players showing up

162
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: to watch, like the j V. James right before they

163
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: get into uniform and everything, right, But the Raiders actually

164
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: had all their guys in uniform. Derek Carr was like

165
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: having warm up tosses and stuff, and I'm like, you're

166
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: not really gonna happen play with bad weather to like,

167
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: come on, we know they weren't playing, they weren't gonna play.

168
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: But Josh Jacobs really has become I think, a really

169
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: worrisome prospect right now because, as you mentioned, he got

170
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: a lot of work in the Hall of Fame game.

171
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna work a lot of guys in Kenyan Drake

172
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: coming back from injury should have a decent roles and

173
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: you're white, I think has some potential. So this this

174
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: really could be a timeshare, which which means what you

175
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: feel comfortable drafting him as an RB three Now, yeah,

176
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: I think there would. There's eventually a sweet spot for him,

177
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: and I think the RB three range is that, but

178
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: right now he's still going as an RB two and

179
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: to me, there's just too much volatility. And my favorite

180
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: thing though, was, um the Josh Jacob supporters doing their

181
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: mental gymnastics on Twitter that we're like, well, this is

182
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: just because he missed practice early in training camp, and

183
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: it's like, no, that's that's not what this is. Yeah,

184
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: this is this really is a head coach trying to

185
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: figure out what they want to do with that backfield. Um,

186
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: I suspect when Week one hits, Josh Jacobs will be

187
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: the RB one. But how much work he gets I

188
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: think remains to be seen. I think an underrated part

189
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: of this Raiders offense is that they continue to bring

190
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: in pass catching running backs. And last year what elevated

191
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: Jacobs was that he had a career high and targets

192
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: and receptions that to me seems like a product of

193
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: the Raiders just having no One decides Hunter Renfrow to

194
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: throw the ball to Um. But if they have other

195
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: running backs taking those targets away, they can get really ugly.

196
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: For Josh, that really does put the onus on him

197
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: to score touchdown, and I don't know that he can

198
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: score enough touch downs to sort of make up the

199
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: difference from not not catching the football. All right, then

200
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: gets us to our a f C preview. Uh kind

201
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: of went through the four teams in order of their

202
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: finish from last season, which means your beloved Buffalo Bills

203
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 1: to leave this thing off. I see the smile on

204
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: your face. I first I gotta ask you, because you

205
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: know a lot of folks are saying the Bills are

206
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: a favorite to get to maybe win the Super Bowl. Um,

207
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: how do you feel about Does that make you nervous? Um?

208
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: It makes me cautiously optimistic, because in my life, for

209
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: most seasons, it's like, hey, if the Bills win nine

210
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: games this year, like that is a good year. We're

211
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: building something and now to really be most people's Super

212
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: Bowl favorites. But that's also a position where it's like

213
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: we either win the Super Bowl or everyone's gonna be

214
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: let down. I don't care that. I'm excited because in

215
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: one month from right now, Josh Allen, the Rams kick

216
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: off right there. I can't wait. Right across the street

217
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: we we are sitting by the way, we're sitting in

218
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: our brand new fantasy lounge. When you see our streaming show,

219
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: you'll see our new set. But yes, I can look

220
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: to my right here and I can see Sofi Stadium

221
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: through the blinds, and that is where they will be

222
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: on September eight, which, by the way, our producer Randy

223
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: said he texted us from a sports bar in Denver,

224
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: a Bill's sports bar that has a table in the

225
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: sign says do not break until the Super Bowl. My

226
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: only response was, I hope they get to go through

227
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: that table. I still want and whenever I'm done with

228
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: this whole fantasy thing. I want to get the line

229
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: on concessions for plastic folding tables in the Buffalo. Their

230
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: fans are so crazy that they will pack them and

231
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: check them through like security in the airports, and then

232
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: they routinely sell out at hardware stores that wherever the

233
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: Bills are on the road. See, that's what I want

234
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: to do. I'm gonna go to a hardware store when

235
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: the Bills come to town. I'm just gonna set up

236
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: in the SOFI parking lot selling white plastic folding tables.

237
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: Once they start taligating, you would make a killing. Gonna

238
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: like rent a truck and just sit out there and

239
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: sell plastic tables from Bills fans. This is how I'm

240
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: going to make my millions anyway. As for the actual

241
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: football part of the Bills, last year eleven and six,

242
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: they win the a f C East, obviously lose that

243
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: heartbreaker in the playoffs to the Kansas City Chiefs, But

244
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: I guess the silver lining is they got the NFL

245
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: to change the overtime rules. So if there's a positive,

246
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: it's that. Look at their leaders from last year, passing

247
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: leader no surprise. Josh Allen four thousand four hundred seven yards,

248
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: thirty six touchdowns, fifteen interceptions. He was the QB one.

249
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: Devin single Tary, you're rushing leader eight hundred and seventy

250
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: yards on the ground, seven rushing touchdowns and the RB

251
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: eighteen and Stefon Diggs hundred and three receptions, one thousand,

252
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: two hundred twenty five yards, ten receiving touchdowns, first double

253
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: digit touchdown season of his career. He's the wide receiver seven.

254
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: So looking at this team, Josh Allen has been the

255
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: QB one in back to back seasons. Uh. It has

256
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: not happened three years in a row since Brett Farve

257
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: did it in the mid nineties. In fact, twenty five

258
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: years ago. I think nineteen nineties seven was the last

259
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: time Brett fire finishes the QB one at these for

260
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: three straight years. Uh. Can Josh Allen do it for

261
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: a third straight year? And if so, why or maybe

262
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: why not? Uh? Can he? Yes? Will he will see?

263
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: But I think I say it all the time. I

264
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: think of all the high end quarterbacks, Josh Allen is

265
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: the safest bet to finish as the QB one because

266
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks who put up his passing production is a

267
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: very short list. Uh, Mahomes Herbert Brady. Let's say they

268
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: don't match his rushing numbers, and then the quarterbacks who

269
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: matches rushing numbers or even exceed him that Jalen hurts,

270
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's, Lamar Jackson's, they don't put up the passing

271
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: numbers that it Josh Allen does. So you kind of

272
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: get the best of both worlds with Josh Allen. That's

273
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: why he's my own questioned QB one this year. But

274
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: the biggest concern I have for him is we've heard

275
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: some chatter coming out of Buffalo about him being more

276
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: selected when he runs. They say they're never going to

277
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: take away his ability to run and just tell him like,

278
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: we want you to purely be a pocket passer. But

279
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: if they tell him to get more selective and maybe

280
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: they have a few less design runs, that could hurt

281
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: him and open up the path for someone else taking

282
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: that QB one. I'm gonna stay. I'm gonna stake my

283
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: flag here and say that he will be the QB

284
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: one year. I'm gonna plant the flag and say that

285
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: it happens for the reasons that you you talked about though,

286
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: right because the quarterbacks who run, you know, the guys

287
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: you listed, they don't necessarily have I think the pass

288
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: catching weapons around him that Josh Allen does. Um, the

289
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: guys who matched up to him as a pocket passer

290
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: say that Patrick Mahomes, Um, you know Mahomes isn't gonna

291
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: run the same way that Josh Allen isn't. And even

292
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: if he runs a little bit less, I still imagine

293
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: he's going to be the guy near the goal line

294
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: when they get, you know, around the three yard line.

295
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: They have him in that shotgun or that pistol. I

296
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: think he's the guy who, more often than that's gonna

297
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: take it in. So as long as he still has

298
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: that rushing touchdown upside, I think he's got the chance

299
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: to be can be one. I know we're gonna talk

300
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: about their running backs a little bit more, but the

301
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: fact that they brought in James Cook and Duke Johnson,

302
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: like those are pass catching specialists. They did not bring

303
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: in like a guy who they're like, all right, we

304
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: don't want Josh Allen to run in near the goal line.

305
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna be different Singletary or Josh Allen, I

306
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: think getting those goal line carriers speak of Devin Singletary

307
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: obviously was great at the end of last season. Uh,

308
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: some of that had to do with Zack Moss kind

309
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: of becoming persona non grata in the offense. Um, you know,

310
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: you take whatever you got to work with. You mentioned

311
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: James Cook is there, You mentioned Duke Johnson is now there?

312
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: Can Singletary pick up where he left off last year?

313
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: I easily think he can. He is my highest ranked

314
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: Bills running back. But with that being said, like he's

315
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: outside my top twenty four because I do have concerns

316
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: one over how much they're gonna run. This has just

317
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: been a team that's been very past happy in recent years.

318
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: But I also think drafting James Cook, signing Duke Johnson,

319
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: and before that they were trying to get j. D. McKissick.

320
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: So to me, that tells me that they want to

321
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: get the running back more involved in the passing game.

322
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: And what I think we could see is instead of them,

323
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, saying we need more balance, let's run the

324
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: ball more, they could just be like, hey, we need

325
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: more balance, let's dump the ball off five times a

326
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: game to a James Cook. And that's an extension of

327
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: the run game that actually helps Josh Allen that helps

328
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen definitely. I worry, though that doesn't take away

329
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: from Singletary a little bit. I think I think he's

330
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: sort of uh. Last year he had a career high

331
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: forty catches. It's not a huge number, I get it,

332
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: but it was more than he's ever had. I don't

333
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: think he gets to that number this year because Cook

334
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: is there, because they can use Duke Johnson there um,

335
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: and if they decide, you know that they're not going

336
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: to run as much with the quarterback and they just

337
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: let him have throw short passes. I do worry that

338
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: Singletary goes back to being, you know, the guy who

339
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: needs three forms of I D to get him to

340
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: the end zone again. So I like him. I've always

341
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: been a Devin Singletary fan. I just worry that he's

342
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: not going to get the sort of touches that we

343
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: need him to get to be as successful as he

344
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: was last year. All Right, So now the question I

345
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: got it will do this for all four teams today,

346
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: it is for all thirty two teams. But who is

347
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: the first player drafted from this team? Who's a sleeper

348
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: you like from this team? And maybe who's a guy

349
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: that you are avoiding from this team. Uh, Stefon Diggs

350
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: I think should unquestionably me be the first player drafted.

351
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: He was. Last year was a down year for Stefon

352
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: Diggs and he was the top seven Fantasy wide receiver UM.

353
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: But why I I'm very optimistic about him is he

354
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: led the league in end zone targets by far, like

355
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: it was the most any player had since DeAndre Hopkins

356
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: in seen so we're going five six years back now

357
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: at this point. But his catch rate was the lowest

358
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: in just in general, was the lowest expend since his

359
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: rookie season. So I'm like, all right, if the volume

360
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: stays the same, and I don't see why it wouldn't uh,

361
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: and then he just starts catching the ball more because

362
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: the year before that his catchery was like fifteen percent higher.

363
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: I just think last year was anomaly. I think that

364
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: he can have a career year potentially for the sleeper.

365
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: He's not so much a sleeper anymore. He's getting a

366
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: lot of hype. But I think Isaiah Mackenzie is a

367
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: really good UH sleeper there because every report says that

368
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: he is the leading slot guy right now, and we

369
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: know that Josh Allen likes the target to slot receivers.

370
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley would get over a hundred targets every year

371
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: in that role. Uh, McKenzie is way more explosive and

372
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: then player to avoid. I'm avoiding Dawson Knox in a

373
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: lot of my drafts because Dawson Knox last year finished

374
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: with like less than six hundred yards, but he had

375
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: double digit touchdowns. I believe when you're that touchdown dependent,

376
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: it seems like a recipe for disaster, especially since I

377
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: think Gabriel Davis, the building number two wide receiver, is

378
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: a better red zone threat than anyone they had in

379
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 1: that role last year. All Right, I'm with you. Stefan

380
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: Diggs easily the first guy off the board for this team.

381
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about that. He's probably

382
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: gonna be a first round pick on a lot of leagues,

383
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: so he's gonna be gone first sleeper is kind of

384
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: hard to pick for me. I guess James Cook, he's

385
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: getting a lot of buzz, Like I think it's hard

386
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: to pay a sleeper because everybody's talking about this Bill's offense.

387
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: But I do think because of what he potentially offers

388
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: and the fact that he can be a guy who

389
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: can catch the football a lot. Uh we know how

390
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: valuable those targets are. I think he has some kind

391
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: of sleeper potential as a guy you get later in drafts.

392
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: So my guy to avoid. And this is not necessarily

393
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: about avoiding him, but sort of avoiding at cost. It's

394
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: kind of gave Davis and I think because the hype

395
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: training on him has been rolling for a while now, Um,

396
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of gotten a little bit out

397
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: of control. I think he has a good year. I

398
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: don't think we can, you know, read into a what

399
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: a three touchdown game in the playoffs and like try

400
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: to extrapolate that over full season. I also look like

401
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: he's coming off the board around like where Allen Robinson is.

402
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: And I've been I've been on record all year saying

403
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson's going way too low. So I like Gabe Davis.

404
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: I just don't like him where I have to draft him.

405
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: It's I want to draft more Gabe Davis. But every

406
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,239
Speaker 1: time he's like his ADP s there, I'm like, no,

407
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: there's other players like I'd rather have. I'd take Allen

408
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: Robinson every time. Yeah, no, absolutely so uh So there

409
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: it is those the Buffalo Bills. Take a quick break.

410
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: We will come back and we will get you the

411
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: rest of our a f C East preview on the

412
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. Alright, continuing our a f C

413
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: East preview, and we got to New England Patriots up next.

414
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: They were ten and seven made the playoffs in one.

415
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: We've got Sam here watching the show right now. He's

416
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan. He warned us that we couldn't say

417
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: anything bad about the Patriots. I don't know what he's

418
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: actually gonna do to us if we say something bad

419
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: about the Patriots. But he throughout some blanket statement that

420
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: we can't say anything. Bills did something bad to them

421
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year. Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's

422
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: pretty uh, you know that's what happens. As it happened,

423
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. I guess has to throw more than three

424
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: passes in a game. I don't know anyway, Like I said,

425
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: the Bills are the Patriots rather ten and seven made

426
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Uh? Their leaders Mac Jones a passing leader

427
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: thirty eight hundred yards, twenty two touchdowns, thirteen interceptions. He

428
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: was the QB uh not the QB one QB eighteen.

429
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: I believe is what he was his past year rushing

430
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: Damian Harris nine nine yards, fifteen rushing touchdowns, the RB fourteen.

431
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: Jacoby Meyers receiving leader eight hundred and sixty six yards

432
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: to receiving touchdowns, including his first career receiving touchdowns this

433
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: year it finally happened. Congratulations. He was the wide receiver

434
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: twenty nine. So when we look at this team, there's

435
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: been a lot of talk of Matt Jones. Has been

436
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: videos of him like bulked up, he's b O h

437
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: L best shape of his life. Uh, he's apparently, you know,

438
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: looking better, looking smarter in practice, despite the fact that

439
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: they've got a defensive guy calling the plays now in

440
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: New England. Um so, hype train or smoke screen Mac

441
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: Jones is going to make the leap in year two? Yeah,

442
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: I think this is a smoke screen. I think maybe

443
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: it's I don't know. I Mac Jones is the hardest

444
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: player for me to get excited for, because I'm like,

445
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: if everything goes right and he is a great year,

446
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be what the QB sixteen and Fantasy football like.

447
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: It's just the way the Patriots offense was built when

448
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: they had a legit good offensive play caller. Now, like

449
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: you said, they have a defensive guy trying to do

450
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: it for the first time. This feels a lot like

451
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: to me, like Bill Belichick is like, I want to

452
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: prove that I can do this without anyone, and I

453
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna work out. I think that's exactly

454
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: what this is, the whole map protriction thing. It's it's

455
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: Belichick trying to again prove to everybody that he's smarter

456
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: than the whole world. I don't know, maybe this is

457
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: maybe his ego was bruised watching Tom Brady go to

458
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: go to Tampa like win a Super Bowl, be really competitive,

459
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: So now Belichick has to prove that he can bounce

460
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: back and do that too. Yeah. I think I think

461
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, of all the quarterbacks who were drafted last year,

462
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: I think he's the one who's sort of closest his ceiling.

463
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: I agree. And I think as the kids say he's mid,

464
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: I think it sort of right, Like, I think he's

465
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: just mid, and like I don't think it's terrible, right,

466
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: Like I think, you know you're not going to win

467
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl because of him, right, He's not going

468
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: to sink the ship. I think that's sort of the

469
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: best thing you can say about mac Joe. Also the

470
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: fact that he doesn't have a ton around him in

471
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 1: terms of pass catchers. I mean, two years ago, this

472
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: was easily the worst receiving corps in the league. Um,

473
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: they've improved slightly over the last couple of years, but

474
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: it's still not great. And so I think it's fun

475
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: to talk about mac Jones being all bulked up because before,

476
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: like when he was drafted, he looked like an insurance

477
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: salesman and now he looks, you know, like a like

478
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: a guy who does cross fit on weekends. So I

479
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: guess that's an upgrade. Um, But I think in terms

480
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: of fantasy, like I just don't see a major leap. Yeah,

481
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't run, and and like they're still paying for

482
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: the sins of overpaying every free agent that they paid

483
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 1: last year because like they got no like they literally

484
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: they traded for DeVante Parker and that's it. That was

485
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: the only offensive grade. Where like you said, every other

486
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: young quarterback their teams are trying to surround them with playmakers,

487
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: except except the Bears, they're not. They're not fields at all.

488
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: That one Um you mentioned the vat Parker coming in

489
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: from Miami to New England. He's another guy who the

490
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: drumbeat has kind of been slowly building for him across

491
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: Fantasy Twitter. Uh, and I know that, you know, take

492
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: that with a grain of salt, because over the course

493
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: of the summer, every player gets some sort of drumbeat

494
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: from Fantasy Twitter. But DeVante park are starting to get

495
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: some love. Is this a real thing that we should

496
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: really buy into or are we just are we just

497
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 1: trying to make fetch happen in New England. I I

498
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: think we're trying to make fetch happen. And I mean

499
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: it's never gonna happen. We know that. But I to me,

500
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: I I see the hype in the sense of like

501
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: he could be their best downfield threat, he could be

502
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: their best red zone threat. But to me, what it

503
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: feels like, you're gonna draft a Vote Parker late in

504
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: your draft as your bench guy. Week one is gonna happen.

505
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna be like, who do I drop to pick

506
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: up the big waiver claim, I'm gonna drop the Monte

507
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: Parker like that? To me, seeing he seems to got

508
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: like a guy that will bounce around the waiver viral

509
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: a lot. It's just it feels like drafting DeVante Parker

510
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: or really any Patriots wide receiver, they're gonna be those

511
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: guys who are maybe even if you don't drop them,

512
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna be those guys who they're not gonna give

513
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: you enough weekly that you feel great about starting them,

514
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: but they'll give you just enough that you're scared to

515
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: drop them and put them on the waiver. Y I

516
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: tweeted the other day, I was like, it costs nothing

517
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: more than like a bench pick to get literally any

518
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: of the receivers or met like any piece of this

519
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: passing offense. There the tight ends, any of them you

520
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: could get as a reserve player, and I have no

521
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: interest in doing that. It's just there's just there's not

522
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: a lot there to get excited about in this offense.

523
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: And so I appreciate the folks who are trying to

524
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: make Devonte Parker like build him up, um, but I

525
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: just don't see it happening. Besides that, he had the

526
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: one really nice year in Miami that we waited years

527
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: before to happen. Outside of that, I don't think he's

528
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: ever had eight hundred yards in a season. I don't

529
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: think he's had more than like sixty three catch is

530
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: in a season. Besides that one year, he's never had

531
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: more than four touchdowns. Everything about him has just been mediocre.

532
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: And we're really going off of that. And it wasn't

533
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: even like a full year. It was like a ten

534
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: game stretch or something like that. Like we're going off

535
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: with that and his draft profile, which at this point

536
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: it's like they're not the same. He's not the same

537
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: guy he was seven years ago. What are we doing?

538
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: None of us are at this point. So all right,

539
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: So then let's get to it. First player drafted, a

540
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: sleeper and a player to avoid in New England. This

541
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: is how gross it is in New England. I think

542
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: the first player drafted should be Damian Harris, and he's

543
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: an RB three like he goes in like the seventh

544
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: or eighth round sometimes, so I think him and uh

545
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: and then a sleeper would be the other player that

546
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm interested in this offense, which is Romandre Stephenson. Both

547
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: of them go kind of similar in drafts. I think

548
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: Damian Harris will be the RB one um. But I

549
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: think if he either you know, fumbles that's a terrible

550
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: case there, or gets hurt miss his time for anything

551
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: like that. Ramandre Stephenson I think has an even higher

552
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: ceiling because is he can actually catch passes, whereas Damian

553
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: Harris struggles with that UH and player to avoid the

554
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: entire passing offense, like I don't want any of their

555
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: receivers mac Jones. If I had to say one, I

556
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: guess it would be like Jacoby Myers, because like he's

557
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: gonna be the slock. I'm in between the twenties and

558
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: not get a whole lot of usage in the red zone.

559
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: But I really don't want any of the receivers. So

560
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: our lists are absolutely identical. Damian Harris is my first

561
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: player off the board, reminds Ray Stevenson is my sleeper,

562
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: and he's the guy that I've been kind of having

563
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: as a sleeper pretty much all throughout the off season. There.

564
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: I just like what his potential can be. And yeah,

565
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: I probably would have said the whole Patriots passing game,

566
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: I singled out Jacoby Myers. Sorry Jacoby um, but I

567
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: mean just the fact that you know, the two touchdowns.

568
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: Maybe he gets more, but I don't think it's significantly more.

569
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: I just don't see this being an offense that puts

570
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: up a lot of points this year, and that's going

571
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: to impact everybody. I also, by the way, was was

572
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: shocked to be reminded that Amy and Harris ran for

573
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns last year. I somehow didn't remember. That's gonna

574
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: be hard to duplicate, to be hard to duplicate. I

575
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: just don't see this being a high powered offense, and

576
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna make it hard to really count on anybody

577
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: uh in there for fantasy. So alright, so we go

578
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: from New England down to Miami. The Dolphins last year,

579
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: we're nine and eight, just missed the playoffs to a

580
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: tong of Iloa. You're passing leader two thousand, six hundred

581
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: fifty three yards, sixteen touchdowns, ten picks. I made him

582
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: the QB twenty four miles gascon. You're rushing leaders six

583
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve yards with three rushing touchdowns, RB twenty four.

584
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: Fun fact, I went back and looked. I was like,

585
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: when is the last time the Dolphins had like a

586
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: decent running game? Um, the last time they had somebody

587
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: run for more than a thousand yards was two thousand

588
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: sixteen j a giant, YI like twelve twelve yards. I

589
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: think go to Sea I tried to remember who the

590
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: running backs were in recent years, and the only name

591
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: outside of like Stent before the Ryan Fitzpatrick here that

592
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: I could remember was Airing fall. Yeah. But the yeah,

593
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: I mean because that was like the end of his

594
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: career basically, but the j Ji the last Dolphins runner

595
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: to get more than a thousand yards that was twenty sixteen.

596
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: It's been a minute um. In fact, I think he

597
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,479
Speaker 1: was the only one in that stretch. It's even more

598
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: than like eight hundred yards. I think everybody else was

599
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: like under eight hundred yards. That fits Patrick here. He

600
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: led the rushing yard that was disgusting. I think that

601
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: was also the year I think I roster Patrick Laird

602
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: because I was really hurting for a running back at

603
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Spoiler alert, I did not

604
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Uh, you were seeding leader in Miami

605
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: last year. Jalen Waddle hundred and four catches, a thousand,

606
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: fifteen yards, six six receiving touchdowns, wide receiver thirteen. All Right,

607
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: Everything around this offense I feel like starts and ends

608
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: with two A tongue of Bolo Tyreek Hill. He having

609
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: having you know, interviews where he's saying to is great,

610
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: comparing to Patrick Mahomes and the rest of fantasy Twitter

611
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: saying like boo boot tomato, Tomato, tomato, but really trying

612
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: to pump up his guy Dolphins, sending out Twitter videos

613
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: of two or throwing deep passes down the field, like

614
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: trying to convince us that things are turning around. So

615
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: can to a B A QB one this year easily,

616
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: like I am I am in onto a tongue of la.

617
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: He is one of my guys this year. Um. The

618
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: narrative that he can't throw a deep ball is so

619
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: ridiculous to me. It first of all, he was top

620
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: four in completion percentage of passes of twenty plus eight

621
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: yards last year and in yards per attempt in those

622
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: passes as well, which are two of the stats that

623
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: really determine if you are a good long ball thrower

624
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: or not. To me, the narrative comes from the fact

625
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: that I believe in his NFL career it's less than

626
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: fifty downfield pass attempts, like it was just a product

627
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: of the offense, and we saw that last year like

628
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Bottle, he was getting used Like it's like you said,

629
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: you always saw the line of screaming and like the

630
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: yard marker on the screen when he was catching balls,

631
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: Like that's how the offense was designed. My philosophy is

632
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: always like, don't assume a player can't do something if

633
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: he's never been asked to do it. Um and too

634
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: never has been asked to do it. And in college

635
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: he was one of the best deep ball throwers as well.

636
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: So with all of this talent around him, I think

637
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: two is gonna have a big year And he's my

638
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: favorite backup quarterback that I like to draft in fantasy.

639
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: The thing I keep coming back to is the way

640
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: America was introduced to a tongue of viola, him throwing

641
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: a deep ball to Davante Smith to win a national

642
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: championship coming into the second half of that game after

643
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts was benched and to a just slinging a

644
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: deep ball down the field and the Crimson Tide win

645
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: a national title on that. So he can throw the

646
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: deep ball he hasn't so far in Miami. Now he's

647
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: got He's got plenty of options, right, He's got Tyreek Hill,

648
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: He's got Jalen Waddle. He has the personnel to go

649
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: and stretch the field this year and this is the

650
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: thing he did in college regularly. Uh, he just hasn't

651
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: I have been a to a backer this whole time. Um,

652
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: I will say his ceiling is probably a fringe QB one.

653
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: I think I think more likely you're probably safer drafting him,

654
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, as a backup quarterback. But if he

655
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: puts it together, I think he can. You know, he

656
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: can knock on the door being a QB one this year.

657
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: I know Dolphin fans are sort of hoping for it.

658
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: Our guy I got, Troy King is begging for two

659
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: to be a QB one. I think there's a road

660
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: where that can happen. But I think I'd still feel

661
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: safe for drafting him as a second quarterback. Uh. The

662
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: other part of this team that's very confusing right now

663
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: is the running back situation. They hire Mike McDaniel as

664
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: their head coach, they bring in Raheem Mostert, They've got

665
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds, they still have Miles Gaskin. I think as

666
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: of this moment, I think Savan Akhmed might still be there.

667
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys in that backfield. How are

668
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: you approaching this in drafts? So for the most part,

669
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: like I'm not going into any drafts, being like I

670
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: need this Dolphins running back for a lot of it though,

671
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: is Chase Edmonds is going outside the top thirty running

672
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: backs and a lot of drafts he's going as an

673
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: RB three that you can get in like the eighth,

674
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: ninth rounds something like that, sometimes even later. And for me,

675
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 1: I think he's worth taking a shot because he's going

676
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: to be the past catcher there, I believe. Uh. And

677
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: of all the running backs they brought in, you can

678
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,239
Speaker 1: add up all the other guys salaries combine and it

679
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: doesn't equal what they gave Chase Edmunds. So I think

680
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 1: that's telling that. And he was the first one they

681
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: brought in. Um So Edmonds as like an RB three

682
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: I think has a lot of upside there. And then

683
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: as like a late round dart throw, gimme raheem Boster,

684
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: Like this is a guy who we know he is

685
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: very explosive, We know the speed in the burst that

686
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: he possesses, and then he already knows this system. With

687
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel coming over from San Francisco, I don't think

688
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: he'll be the workhorseback, but I do think he'll be

689
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: the back that gets like eight to ten touches a

690
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: game and it's just their home run hitter. So as

691
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: like a you know, a very late round pick, I

692
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: think that's worth investing. Especially This is everyone's favorite saying

693
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: this time of year, especially in Bestball though, because the

694
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: best guys a home run hitter, which I always hate

695
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: saying that because it feels like a cop out, but

696
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: sometimes it really fits, like especially Investball. Yeah, he's a

697
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: home run hitter. Uh Yeah. I think I think you

698
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: sort of nailed it, though, because the good news about

699
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: the Dolphins backfield is that there's no one there that

700
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: you have to invest a lot of draft capital and

701
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: you're not you're not reaching to get Chase Edmonds or

702
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: Rahee mostert Um. Look, I mean there's a very good

703
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: chance that you know, maybe a Miles Gasket isn't even

704
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: on that roster. When a week one rolls around, we'll

705
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: see how that works out. So that's at least the

706
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: comforting part of this. And if McDaniel can get that

707
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: running game going the way the Niners had it going,

708
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna find somebody there that's fairly productive that you

709
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: can use maybe as a flex player more often than that.

710
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: So I think that's that's sort of the way to

711
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: look at this. I don't. I think you're right. I

712
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: don't think there's anybody that you're specifically targeting. Nobody's going

713
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: into this draft saying like I gotta get Raheem Moster.

714
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: But um, but I do think there's potential value there

715
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: if these guys can perform up to up to their expectation.

716
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: So first player sleeper player to avoid. So my first

717
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: player drafted, I think it's kind of obvious. I think

718
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: it's Tyreek Hill. Even though I'm not targeting Tyreek Hill

719
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: in my drafts, I I still have him ranked the

720
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: highest of all the Dolphins receivers. I still think he's

721
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: like a borderline wide receiver. One um my concern with

722
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: him though, was just volume in his passing attack. So

723
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: that's why I'm not really targeting him. The sleeper. It's

724
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: the two players that I've already chase, Edmonds and my

725
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: biggest sleepers to uh. I think too, we can have

726
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: a great breakout year. This is the spicy one though,

727
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: markets player to avoid. I am not touching Jalen Waddle

728
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: this year. Like Jalen Waddle last year was awesome. I

729
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: had him as a wide receiver one before they made

730
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: the Tyreek Hill trade. But Jalen Waddle was so awesome

731
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: in part because he was getting a ton of volume,

732
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: and I don't like he broke the rookie record for receptions.

733
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna be able to duplicate

734
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: the volume he had last year. Because they paid Tyreek

735
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: Hill a lot of money, they gave up a lot

736
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: of assets to get him, They're gonna easily be He's

737
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: gonna be the top target there. Mikeasecki might still have

738
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: a role. Like there's just a lot of who knows

739
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 1: how much they're gonna run the ball. There's a lot

740
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: of question marks with this team, and people are still

741
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: taking both of the receivers like top fifteen guys. To me,

742
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, you guys could have the receivers. I'll get

743
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: all the production maked in on TA and I'll just

744
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: be happy with it. I think people are you know,

745
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: people see the talent between Hill and Waddle, and I

746
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: think that's where they're drafting them and not necessarily thinking

747
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: about the fact that you're right the passing volume. This

748
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: isn't like Kansas City right where you knew you knew

749
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes could sustain multiple receivers, multiple pass catchers. We're

750
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: not sure, as much as we may be optimistic about

751
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: we're not sure that that can happen just yet. So

752
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: I I totally get that U Tyreek Hill from me.

753
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: He's obviously the first guy off the board. Um, I

754
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna be a he's still a first round

755
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: pick or is he a second round guy? Now? I

756
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: wouldn't take in the first round. I don't see him

757
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: go often in the first I don't think so either.

758
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of more of a second round

759
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: guy this year. Uh my sleeper you mentioned it is

760
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 1: where he mostered, just because again you're getting him really,

761
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: really late. He's got home run potential and his issue

762
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: in his career has just been staying healthy. If he

763
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: can stay healthy and stay on the field, I think

764
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: he has the potential to really be a difference maker.

765
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: And again you're not You're not investing a lot in

766
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: draft capital to get Ricky most of it. So if

767
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy, that upside is obviously there for him.

768
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: My friend to avoid is Mike GASSICKI, and Gasicky to

769
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: me has sort of become He's kind of that that

770
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: poster child for like the middle of the road kind

771
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: of me tight ends um, you know, And like I

772
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: always say, like avoid Mike GASSICKI, and I always know

773
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: I get to a draft and I mean like the

774
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: tenth round and like the clocks running out and I panic.

775
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm like I might get sicky, and I hate myself

776
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: for it for weeks after. But the reason I would

777
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: try to avoid him, it's not because I think he's

778
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: bad or going to be bad, but I think we've

779
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: sort of seen what he can be, and that was

780
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: in years without Tyreek Hill taking away those targets. Now

781
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: we just know that he's sort of the middle of

782
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: the road tight end, and I think if I'm if

783
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm missing out on the top end tight ends. Um.

784
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: I don't know that I want a Mike Gassicki to

785
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: fill that spot. I would much rather wait and go

786
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: after like an Albert oh IRV Smith, one of those

787
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,479
Speaker 1: guys a little bit later that I think has big

788
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: upside um that I think can can may be hit

789
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: a bit of a higher ceiling than just kind of watching,

790
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, Mike GISICKI sort of be oatmeal. I think Mike,

791
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: like I think it's in the range of outcomes for Gasecki,

792
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: where like he's not even fantasy relevant because I could

793
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: see he always operated out of the slot. Their top

794
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: two receivers operate out of the slot. Are they going

795
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: to use the tight end to block in this system,

796
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: which you know is did a lot. He's not the

797
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: blocking tight end, right, he could just be like a

798
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: third down type of tight end and that would not

799
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: have any fantasy relevance. That would be so so yeah,

800
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: I know, so I am. I think I'm I'm away

801
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: from Mike GISICKI just because I think, you know, there

802
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: are other guys that offer more upside than he does

803
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: at this point in his career. All right, So I

804
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: get us to our final team in the a f

805
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: C E stat as the New York Jets four and

806
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: thirteen one. Zack Wilson was your passing leader two thousand,

807
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: three thirty four yards, nine touchdowns, eleven picks. He was

808
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: the QB twenty nine. Michael Carter, You're rushing leader six

809
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: hundred thirty nine yards, four rushing touchdowns, RB eight, and

810
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: Elijah More You're receiving leader forty three catches, five eight

811
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: yards five receiving touchdowns wide receiver forty eight. So it

812
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 1: was a youth movement without a doubt in New York

813
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: last year, and they're still adding pieces. They went out,

814
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: they drafted Breeze Hall, they drafted Garrett Wilson um, which,

815
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know. I'm sure somebody in

816
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: research can find this out for us. When is the

817
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 1: last time a team had three rookie category leaders passing,

818
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: Russian and receiving. That's what happened with the Jets last

819
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: year with Wilson, Carter and more. I would think at

820
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: some point it's probably happened, but I don't know when.

821
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that would be kind of interesting

822
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: until to take a look at. So I mean, Breeze

823
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: Hall is coming in. He is a fantasy Twitter darling

824
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: right now. But that does make Michael Carter kind of

825
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: a second fiddle there in New York. What are we

826
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: doing with him in drafts this year? I think we

827
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: should be drafting him, Like, Michael Carter is someone that

828
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: I feel pretty pretty good about because he's going late

829
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: in drafts, like he's not even a top forty running

830
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: back off the board. And then every Jet reporter right

831
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: now is saying he's still going to have a role

832
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: like it could be like a sixty forty split. And

833
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: I've been seeing a lot of hype about Michael Carter

834
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: coming out of Jets camp, and I think he gets

835
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: over like everyone loves Javonte Williams, right, Michael Carter on

836
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: a paer touch basis was like just as good as

837
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: at like forcing miss tackles and stuff as Javonte Williams.

838
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: He might not have the same explosiveness, but he's not

839
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: far behind. And if anything was to happen to Breeze Hall,

840
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: I think Michael Carter's upside is of being an RB

841
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: one if if he's like dominating touches in that backfield.

842
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: So if you either take like a zero RB approach

843
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: or maybe you get like you're starting RBS early and

844
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 1: then you start loading up on other positions, I think

845
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: Michael Carter is a great like bench running back to

846
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: have on your fantasy team. So then are we overdrafting

847
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: Breeze Hall? See? I don't think we are, because he's

848
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: going like RV like nineteen something like that, And I

849
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: think he has RB one potential as well because he

850
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: is just amazingly good. I think I do like my Carter.

851
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: I was a little bit frustrated when they drafted Breeze

852
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: Hall because I wanted to see what he could do

853
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: with a slightly larger role. That's not going to happen now,

854
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, I do think it's going

855
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: to be a sixty forty split probably there. So I do,

856
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: like Carter Um, we just have to figure out what

857
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: the role is going to be. And you know, so

858
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: much of this is how much does Zach Wilson get

859
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 1: better this year? You know, if if Zach Wilson doesn't

860
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: get much better, UM, then I don't know that none

861
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: of this matters if the offense doesn't move to football.

862
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: But it does bring me to the question of the

863
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Elijah More was a guy that everybody liked

864
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 1: last year and flashed at times. They bring in Garrett

865
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: Wilson from Ohio State. Um, between the two of them,

866
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: who you got this year? So I have Elijah More

867
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: ranked higher. But the one that I will more likely

868
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: to draft is Garrett Wilson because I don't there's like

869
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: a five round gap between where these players are going,

870
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: and that just seems entirely too high to me. I

871
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: understand Elijah more played really well. He had like a

872
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: six seven weeks stretch where he was of wide receiver one,

873
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: and we always tend everyone liked him coming into last year,

874
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: like you said, so we tend to be like, look,

875
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: we thought this guy was great. He's great. He's the

876
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: young questioned wide receiver one. Here it's like, well, they

877
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: knew how good he was, and they still use the

878
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 1: top ten pick to get another guy and Garrett Wilson,

879
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: who I think is going to get a lot of

880
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: volume right away. So if you're gonna give me a

881
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: huge discount, I'm gonna take the guy that's just going

882
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: way later because I think they'll be pretty close at

883
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: the end of the year. I think that's that's the

884
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: argument for Wilson, right, is that, like we see this

885
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 1: every year in fantasy, Like you have two guys who

886
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: you think their production is gonna be similar, but one

887
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: has a way lower a DP. That's always the guy

888
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna draft in that situation. If I think the

889
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: numbers are gonna be close, I'm gonna take the guy

890
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: that I can wait a handful of rounds on. And

891
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: right now, that very much is Garrett Wilson in this one,

892
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: and I'm a guy who like Thelijah more Um same.

893
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: But but I think Garrett Wilson's sort of the guy.

894
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: But I go back to if Zach Wilson doesn't get

895
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: much better, that it doesn't really matter at all. Alright,

896
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: so let's finish this out. Then, first player drafted sleeper

897
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: and player to avoid first player drafted his priest Hall.

898
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: He's going in like the fourth round, and I think

899
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: that's really appropriate for him. I think I love that

900
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: you get him as an RB two, but I think

901
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: his upside as being an RB one, uh sleeper. This

902
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: might sound dirty to some Give me Zach Wilson, I

903
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: think Zach Wilson. Like I spent in the off season

904
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: sometime watching Zach Wilson play last year, and my takeaway

905
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: was like, there's nothing on a football field this kid

906
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: can't do like every single throw. He is all the

907
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: armed talent in the world. It's just he made a

908
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: lot of really bad decisions. Will will that get fixed?

909
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you only you gotta draft him

910
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: outside the top twenty quarterbacks to find out. So I

911
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: I love if, like I have a proven quarterback, one

912
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: like a josh Allen Mahomes, any of those guys. I'll

913
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: take Zack Wilson as my quarterback too, because I think

914
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: the upside is that high that if he hits, people

915
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: are gonna want Zach Wilson. I'll have a trade asset

916
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: or something like that. Player to avoid is really hard

917
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: because none of the Jets are priced high at all.

918
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: Like I like more and Wilson and both running backs

919
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: and Zach Wilson. So I guess Corey Davis the tight ends.

920
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: I won't take any of those guys, but I think

921
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: the rest of the Jets are appropriate, appropriately priced and

922
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: worth trafted. All right, well, my my, my first player

923
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: off the board, no surprise it is. It's gonna be

924
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: Breeze hall Um. I think, yeah, he's the guy everybody loves.

925
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 1: He's the new shiny thing in the offense. I think

926
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: he gets plenty of touches, so he's the guy who

927
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: goes first for me, my sleeper. And this is maybe

928
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: a deeper one, but I think Rex and Barrios is

929
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: just gonna be a guy who just kind of hangs around, right,

930
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: he's at a nice security blanket and get open in

931
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: the middle of the field whenever they need somebody to

932
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: make some plays. Um, you know, And I think I

933
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: think part of getting Zack Wilson to make better, smarter

934
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: decisions is giving him some easy targets. And I think

935
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: that's what Burrios can be. So if you see him

936
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: sort of take that that step forward, that's the reason.

937
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: But me saying that I'm still avoiding Zach Wilson, I'm

938
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: just saying all that just because there's still there's still

939
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: so much more I want to see him do so

940
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: much improvement I want to see from him, uh that

941
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: right now, because he's going so late, It's like I

942
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: could just easily pivot to a different direction that late

943
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 1: in the draft and not really feel like I'm missing

944
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: out on anything. Maybe he makes the leap and maybe

945
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: it looks great. In the case I look silly, but

946
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: I'll take that, chick. I don't know if this is

947
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: I'll take or not. I'll take Zach Wilson over mac Jones.

948
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 1: And I think I think it's realistically possible the Patriots

949
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: could finish in last place this year. I think I

950
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: think when you look at just athletic profile and stuff, um,

951
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 1: I don't think that's crazy. Because Zach Wilson can run.

952
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: He's got a cannon of it, Like the floor is

953
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: much much safer with Mac Jones. But when I'm taking

954
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback to I want upside. So I'm gonna go

955
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: with the guy that I think has a lot of upside.

956
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: Whereas I mean, I know the floors. He could just

957
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: be awful and like, but I'll just because then I'll

958
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: just drop him and pick up Like, I don't know

959
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: whoever is the quarterback on the wave and Wire Bryan

960
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: someone like that? Does it? We were you at all

961
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: that Joe Flacco is getting some run in Jets camp.

962
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: Apparently he threw who interceptions? Yes, says I don't know

963
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: what we're doing with Joe Flacco like at this point,

964
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: like he's a veteran leader to a young quarterback and

965
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: that's all he should be. I mean, that's kind of

966
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: where he is right now. But is he still you

967
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: were seen an elite quarterbacks and many years is still

968
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: that's the question. Is Joe Flacco still elite? I guess

969
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna find out before before training camp is over.

970
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: So all right, so let me go. There is our
