Here's your host, Welcome to the show. 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:28.760 It is episode number four, season number twenty six of 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.120 Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Churchy and my co 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.319 host today are Brian Johnson Guillotine Leagues dot Com and 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.559 Matt Harrison, who has just spun up a brand new 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.720 site called shock Fantasy dot Com. Yes, yes, we will 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.000 get you ready. It's we're hitting drafting season, guys. I'm 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:49.920 in the middle of four email drafts right now. I 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.680 think it'd be three mail and one auction. It's you know, 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.520 there's I would call it ultimate drafting season. It's kind 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:59.480 of been drafting season for a while Simus in the industry. Yes, 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.440 most people getting getting into it now. I think that's 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.839 the first the first week where I feel like there's 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.240 really a lot of momentum happening with fantasy drafts. Were 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.679 here to get you ready in a wide variety of ways. 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.440 We're gonna talk through some of the notes from training camps. 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:18.319 We will take one of the deep dive data points 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.199 that we usually only have at our in person live 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.640 Fantasy football training camp, which this year is not happening. 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.399 That so lucky you guys who didn't come to training camp. Ever, 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.120 has there been a better spot for the sad trombon 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.960 Sky than you know what it really is? It really 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:41.679 is sad. Where hey keep that sad warm up? Today? Okay, 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.440 good um, we will tell you about the the things 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.760 that happened inside the five yard line that you need 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.640 to know about. This is one of my favorite deep 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.000 analytical dives. We're gonna touch on every single team and 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:55.680 what they do inside the five and how that can 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.800 benefit your fantasy team. We've got three tough questions. Well, 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:03.480 identified the player as we like, but we hate their 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.760 average draft position, so we never end up with them. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.360 And it's not that we just hate these guys, we 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.959 just won't pay their price. It's like love the player, 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.000 hate the game. It is kind of like that. Okay, 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.519 And then at the end of the show, we'll have 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.560 our sleepers and Matt Harrison will tell you how to 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.840 capitalize on the first month of the season. I'm a 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.679 big believer in fast starts. When you start three and one, 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.280 four and oh, four and one, five and oh, you've 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:31.959 got a lot of roster equity going and life becomes 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.520 a whole lot easier. You can start transitioning even at 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.720 that point already to some advanced thinking. So lots to 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.440 get to over the course of the show. We begin 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.520 with notes from almost every team around the league, and Matt. 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.519 Let's start with the Panthers. Russell o'koung, who we talked 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.480 about last week when we said he's considering retirement due 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.520 to COVID. He's still not playing in camp because he's 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.680 dealing with some back issues as well. So something's lingering 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.959 stuff with o'koung, and it's looking more and more likely 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.560 that he might not be ready for the beginning of 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.440 the season or at all this year. You know, I'm 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.560 so nervous about the Panthers offense in general that I'm 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.880 having an increasingly hard time keeping Christian McCaffrey at pick 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.360 one oh one. I'm going to ruin that for you 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.720 in the schedule analysis part of the show, and I 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.760 hope that's right. Uh, Brian, Let's go to the Las 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:26.040 Vegas Raiders. Yeah, not going to Oakland out of Raiders camp. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.040 Brian Edwards looks to be the guy over Henry Ruggs, 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.000 who was the first overall wide receiver taken in the draft. 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.639 We called that a mistake when they made it. So yeah, 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.320 Bryan Edwards, if you're in redraft, if you're targeting a 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.760 rookie wide receiver, it's him, not Rugs and uh worth mentioning. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.000 The Raiders are one of three teams in the running 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.080 for Jadeveon Clowney, the Titans and the Seahawks or the 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.800 other two. And that's worth mentioning because if I got 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.320 Raiders on my team, I don't want their defense getting 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.880 any better. Well not if you have Josh Jacobs, because 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.240 you don't want the negative game script. So the defense 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.800 helped Josh terre point. Fair point there. But but they're 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.600 they're they might land Clowney. That would be a big 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.640 signing front who gets them in Green Bay? A. J. 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.360 Dillon's the second round running back, drawing strong reviews. General 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.800 manager Brian Gudkuns compared him to Eddie Lacy this week 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.680 in a good way. Uh. Social media blew up with 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.560 photos of his herculean legs. I think that was mostly 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.440 due to the fact he was wearing Hooters shorts. They 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.919 were they're tiny shorts have I think they're just tiny 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.640 on him. Uh. Aaron Rodgers also noted that A. J. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.640 Dillon's skills are great, but he needs to get caught 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.280 up on the playbook, which is pretty much true for 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.760 Annie rookie and you know what for running backs, getting 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.320 caught up on the playbook is not hard. That will happen. 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:41.040 Let's go to Washington, Matt Bryce Love is getting reps 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.360 with the first team. So is Dwayne Haskins. By the way, 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.560 while Alex Smith returned to practice this week, he's not 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.600 yet part of eleven on eleven drills Alex Smith as 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.880 of yet, so Haskins still at the one team. But 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.640 Bryce Love is an interesting guy to keep kind of 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.600 on your cheek sheet. Put a little bullet next to him. 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:02.080 As Adrian Peterson ever taken a first team trading camp, 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.599 trading camp never and it never matters, by the way, 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.680 it was always ready to go. Someone will make any 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.880 difference here either. Let's go to Buffalo. Brian the Athletics 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:15.800 Bills beat reporter Joe Paglia believes Zack Moss's role as 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.720 being under sold and head coach Sean McDermott's already praising 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:26.320 the past protection skills of Zack Moss. Now, some of 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.640 you that have been listening to this show and our 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.839 podcast going back months have been hearing me to Zack Moss. 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.520 The rest of the world just now starting to catch up. 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.160 If you want Zack Moss, you can't rely on old 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.000 adp He's going earlier and earlier. In drafts I held 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.599 this past week, he went in pick with picks seven 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.320 and eight in the first round in different draftskie draft. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.359 You cook him from one of the over cam akers 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:56.920 and it was, by the way, is the happy trombone 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:02.560 like the precursor to the peacock? Like you haven't quite 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.920 You don't have the results yet to so you can 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.640 happy trombone. It looks it still looks good. The Texans, 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.800 and updating a story from last week's segment, Kenny Stills 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.480 is now active in practicing. He's still the fourth wide 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.520 receiver in the pecking order, though Deshaun Watson, while we're 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.400 speaking of the receivers, says that Will Fuller is quote 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:26.160 going to ball out. M hm. That's good. Coach Bill 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.880 O'Brien says, Will Filler quote looks as good as he's 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.479 ever looked. Now, a lot of those words generally don't 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.479 mean anything when they actually get to this point, you know, 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.360 actually start the season. But we, as we've talked about before, 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.120 if you give me sixteen games and Will Fuller, we're 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:41.800 talking about guy who could easily be a top ten 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.080 ish wide receiver share. That's the kind of upside we get. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.360 Let's go to Tampa Bay. Matt offensive tackle Tristan Worth's 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.159 has struggled mightily with the first team in practice so far. However, 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.520 the real news, the Tampa Bay Bucks official website is 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.239 saying the standout at camp is Ronald Jones. It's happening. 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.800 I think, uh, I think Ronald Jones. It's I think 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.760 there's no doubt, at least based on we know right now. 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.800 Ronald Jones is the back to half, which we as 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.920 we've discussed before. It all sounds good until his abysmal 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.480 pass block it gets Tom Brady killed, and then they 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.840 got to make a change. Brian. Let's go to Cleveland. 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:22.040 So Nick Chubb suffered a concussion. I don't recall many 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.280 training campncussions ever, but he's in concussion protocol right now. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.240 It should be good for a week one and a 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.560 couple quote unquote should be ready for Week one guys 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.320 that are very fantasy relevant or Jarvis hand Uh Landry 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.160 with a hip injury and starting center j C. Trader 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.080 with a knee injury. So the one guy who is 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:40.960 ready for Week one right now or appears to be 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:47.160 as O b J who looks pretty good. Classic, but yeah, 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.040 we had a monitor Chub Landry and j C. Tredder. 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.040 Of course you want your starting center healthy for the 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.679 start of Week one. In Kansas City, when Clyde Edwards 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.600 Hlaire had to miss a day practice this week, it 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:03.360 was Darryl Williams who got the first team reps. It 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.280 was not DeAndre Washington. And this is an evolving battle 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.760 that will will be worth watching throughout the preseason because 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:13.120 that could be a potentially very valuable handcuff for Clyde Edwards. Lair, 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.440 Let's go to Detroit. Matt I saw a headline on 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:20.520 ESPN that said, carry on Johnson not dealing with injury. Yeah, 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.520 but he's not getting a ton of work in practice either, 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:27.320 And Matt Patricia said that was planned, which means he's 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.640 the second team player right now. It's DeAndre Swift DeAndre 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.440 Swift is going too late in draft. That guy, he's 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.200 so much better than carry On Johnson, so much healthier. 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.439 He's going to get the vast majority of the work there, 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.440 I believe, Brian. Let's go to the New York Jets. 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.600 Rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims, who was slated to start 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.320 on the outside opposite of Brashad Perriman, still sideline with 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:51.080 a hamstring injury. Breshad Perriman pretty much unproven to me 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.840 still and most people, so. I like Jameson Crowder even more. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.600 I've touted him here multiple times, averaged eight targets. With 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.920 a healthy Sam Donald, He's gonna be a PPR mon 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.800 certain Chris Herndon is lining up as a slot receiver, 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.360 outside receiver and tight end right now. I don't have 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.360 like any Chris Herndon right now in any of my 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.440 league's I'm kind of sad about it because not even 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.520 in your tight end only league, not even in my 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.840 tight end only league. Auction the league by the way, 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.840 with the big boys play. Let's go to the Rams. 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.600 Josh Reynolds wide receivers all but locked up the third 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:23.560 receiver job over rookie Van Jefferson. The Rams play a 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.599 lot of three receiver sets, and Reynold's gonna get a 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.720 lot of playing time. Currently going off the board as 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:34.960 wide receiver eighty three, and he's walking into Brandon Cook's role. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.600 He's gonna run Brandon Cooks routes and he's wide receiver 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.160 receiver eighty three for Josh Reynolds. Let's go to the 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.200 Seattle Seahawks. Matt Um, you remember Philip Dorsett does a Seahawk. 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.520 It's kind of weird, right, Yeah. Pete Carroll just said 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.720 he's the fastest guy they've ever had in camp. Dang, 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.400 and they have Tyler Lockett, who, by the way, is 0:09:55.720 --> 0:10:00.160 very fast like ever had ever Percy Harvin was pretty fast, 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.000 he said, like Philip Dorset's the fastest guy ever. Well, 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:04.679 it's fine, but if if he could, if you were 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.120 fast and could catch, he'd still be on his original team, 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.400 not his third. T K Metcalf, who like broke all 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.400 the Combine records last year. Brian, Let's go to Denver. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.880 Broncos coach Vic Fangio said he anticipated both Melvin Gordon 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.600 and Philip Lindsley quote playing enough where we don't really 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.679 have to designate a starter. Great, Yeah, that's what we'll 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.520 talk more about these guys when we go inside the 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.679 five later on Vikings. IRV Smith tight end getting a 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.880 lot of first team playing time and is expected to 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.440 linep in the slot a lot more often. The Vikings 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.240 run a lot of two tight end sets and so 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:36.840 both he and Kyl Rudolf will be on the field 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.080 together often. So it looks like there's an opportunity for 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.079 Irv Smith to get some extra reps from what we 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.559 saw last year, Matt, Let's go to Philadelphia. Miles Sanders 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.160 considered weak. Too weak, That's not good with an undisclosed 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:53.880 lower body injury. By the way, Boston Scott not Scott 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.839 Fish at Boston Market. Uh, he's day to day with 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.720 a lower body injury. Day to day is a little 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.880 better than week to week. So Corey Clement opened the 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.400 UH the practice yesterday is the first team runner with 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.520 Elijah holy Field getting some first team reps to I 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.360 didn't even think Elijah holy Field just canna end up 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.600 in the league this year. Real deal holy Field Home, 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:16.280 it happens for him. Brian Miami, Uh, take her pantsop 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.160 charge stew beer. It appears to be the clear cut 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.280 starter about it. I know that's great. Well, I think 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.080 you should be the starter definitely too. It looks good 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:27.000 though in camp. Sambiyah Fitzpatrick will start in Pittsburgh. It's 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.520 positive reviews on Ben Roethlisberger's arm and his return. Remember 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.400 he's thirty eight years old. It's coming up a major 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.720 elbow surgery with three torn ligaments in the elbow, but 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:40.080 people are noting good philosophy. Accuracy has been inconsistent, but 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.400 people are saying that it looks like the old arm 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.880 is there and it makes you wonder if maybe people 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.000 are sleeping on this offense a little bit. And he 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.400 finally conditioned in the off season too. It appears for 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.280 the first time his career. How about that. Congrats, Let's 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.200 go to Dallas. Head coach Mike McCarthy was asked by 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.199 a member of the press, what's Tony Pollard's useage you 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.280 gonna be this year? Mike mccarth he said, I won't 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.080 discuss that because it's gonna be a lot. Yep. I'm 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.960 telling you people, if it was nothing, he would say, 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.880 Zeke's our guy. He didn't want to discuss. Listen, I'm 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.040 telling you this is one of my biggest takes from 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.640 this offseason. Tony Pollode role is going to improve a lot. 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.440 We're going to negotiate an Empire League trade driving break here. 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.760 I'm interested in that. Let's go to the Patriots. Brian 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.880 Beat writer Mike Reese speculated that the team could deploy 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.240 a quarterback rotation early in the season, and Belichick didn't 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:32.480 rule it out. But Jared Sidama by all nursing bad. Yeah, 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.959 and he's nursing a leg injury. Uh, and I expect 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.920 to practice much on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Cam's still going 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.040 to get the job. But there's of course, it's New England, 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.520 so they're muscling things up out there in San Francisco. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.160 Wide receiver Jalen Hurd went on went on I r 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.920 with a torn a c L and of course, as 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.520 you probably remember, Deebo Samuel nursing a foot injury as well, 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.120 so Brandon I was gonna start. Trent Taylor and Dante 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.439 Pettis are also getting first team reps, and that looks 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.480 that might be your starting route for Week one for 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.160 the forty Niners. Let's go to the New York Giants. 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.720 You're in a league with kickers, Graham Gano just got 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.000 signed and they released Chandler Catons. Oh that's it, foul. 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.079 Let's go to the Titans. Uh. Corey Davis, who was 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.080 on the publist, was quitted to practice on Monday. Running 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:20.400 Back Darrington Evans rookie who should back up Derrick Henry 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.560 has fumbled twice already, So just play Derrick Henry every down. 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:27.040 And if they did, you b RB one overall in 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.199 my mind, if you got like fifty six targets per year. 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:34.079 And the tight ends coach loves John H. Smith Church, Yeah, baby, John, 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:39.840 I can't. I can't quiet yet, but I can, Yeah 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:49.160 Smith Baby? Oh, why is your hand inside your shirt? 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.840 I need to hand you this roll of paper towels. 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.599 That was quite the look. In Baltimore, the media is 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.440 gushing over Mark Andrews. He's running through the second and 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.560 third levels of a very good Ravens defense, healthier than 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.720 last year, and with Hayden Hurst Atlanta. Everybody expects a 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.000 another leap from Mark Andrews this year. He is my 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.120 tight end number three, but I believe going off the 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:12.120 board of tighten four or five in most drafts right now, Matt, Matt, 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.760 Let's go to Atlanta. Really nice reports about Brian Hill 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.160 and Cadre Allison. In practice, it seems like the Falcons 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.640 are prepping their fan base for their backups to take 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.880 over in the inevitable case that Todd Gurley is missing 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.840 time now, which is going to happen. And we've got 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.480 Ido Smith who's still in that mix as well. Bengals 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.800 Brian uh starting cornerback Trey Wayne, who you might remember 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.400 of your local Minnesota here, underwent surgery to report report 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.840 repair a torn peck and is expected to miss most 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.840 of so that hurts the defense and kind of helps 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.080 the offense outside of Joe Mixon Matt We go to 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.360 Arizona for the Cardinals. DeAndre Hopkins missed a handful of 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.600 practices with a hamstring tweak, but he returned to the 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:54.160 field yesterday. And for the Jaguars, Brian rich Hill Armstead 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.760 activated from the COVID list, and he was a fifth 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.840 round rookie last year at a temple and he showed 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.280 some flashes and the this is worth mentioning because he 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:05.840 could push Leonard four Net. Yes, Jacksonville is on their way. 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.880 They're done with him essentially, so right kill Armstead is 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.880 worth the late round flyer right now, right, Matt, Chicago 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.280 Bears will round out your final team ready for the 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:20.560 sounder chart. Nick Foles and Mitchell true Bisky are currently 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:25.640 alternating days as the starter in camp. Cordarrell Patterson, by 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.720 the way, is sitting in on running back meetings. This 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.520 is his name. I'm telling you this is his best 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:33.320 position is running back. There that with that running backs 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.480 they've got, that's not you could be the best running 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.240 back on roster. Might be Chicago's gonna have the number 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.840 one pick next year, yes they are. The defense defense 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:47.640 is not good enough? All right, Brian, you know, wrap 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.400 up this lunacy of yours with the Chargers, please sort 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.560 of such. Now that's a team, that's a team that 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.280 could be, that could have the first pick. No not. 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.040 Their defense is pretty good too. Justin Jackson looks locked 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.800 into the back up running back role. We all love 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.200 Austin Nichola, but keep your eye on Joshua Kelly. He's 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.920 gonna usurp Jackson sooner than later. All right, there you go. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.360 We've gone around almost all thirty two teams. A couple 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.240 of teams didn't have much worth mentioning, and so you 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.920 know we care about your time and what actually matters 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:16.840 if you want to play the freshest new format and 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.720 fantasy football. It's called the Guillotine League. Seventeen teams start 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.240 the season and each week the low scoring team gets 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.320 eliminated and their entire roster goes to the waiver wire, 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:32.120 where pandemonium ensues. If you'd like to play along, go 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.720 to Guillotine leagues dot com. When we come back inside 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.320 the five yard line, what's the one thing you need 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.640 to know from every team inside the five yard line? 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.400 And why it's so important for you to know? When 0:16:44.400 --> 0:17:09.000 we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.760 Football Weekly. I am Paul Archie and my co host 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:16.479 or Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson. Every year at our 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:21.479 Fantasy Football training camp, a live event in Minneapolis, we 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:26.600 unveil what every team's tendencies are inside the five and 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:32.440 we should say them. Well, it's been my bit. Now 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.200 you're passing the book. Now now you're making us do 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.960 your word. What the heck? We're dividing up three ways. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:39.600 We're gonna talk about every team and what they do 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.280 inside the five and why you should care? Well, why 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.240 should you care? Number one? That's where touchdowns are scored 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:52.280 and breaking news. Fantasy players like touchdowns. It's easy fantasy 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:57.400 points from inside the five. This is where great fantasy 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:03.800 players score, and they do so copiously inside the five. Now, 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.320 if you're thinking to yourself, well, it's what about the 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.560 other yards? Blah blah blah. Here's the thing. I want 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.199 you to think of a number. How many touchdowns do 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:18.160 you think we're scored from inside the five last year? 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.920 To the infrared zone? You I kind of like infra 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.560 red zone. I like that. How many touchdowns were scored 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:29.600 inside the five? Put a number in your head? Nice? 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:36.120 Do you believe it was more than one hundred more 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:44.520 than two hundred three three hundred touchdowns from inside the 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:48.760 five last year? No? The answer is five hundred four 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.800 touchdowns were scored from inside the five yard line last 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.640 year in the NFL? Five hundred four. Do you want 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.920 a part of that on your fantasy team? As many 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.280 as possible on your fantasy All of them? Yeah? Well 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.520 all would be ideal. You'd have to a very large 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.920 roster to capture all of them. So a lot of touchdowns. 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.400 I wouldn't expect that many touchdowns. And the whole are 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.160 you are you sure you didn't count all the touchdowns 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:21.960 from all year five four touchdowns, which is more than Matt. 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.720 Gonna breakdown every team, I want to know, you're gonna 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.800 tell listeners the one thing that people need to know. 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.000 We're gonna do each team. We're gonna start with Carolina 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.840 From inside the five. No team threw more passes inside 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.320 the five yard line than the Panthers last season with 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.560 twenty eight. And you'd think it was Christian mccaffy. I 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.400 would think it was he only had three targets inside 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:50.720 the five. The infrared zone threat was Curtis Samuel seven targets. 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.720 I don't remember that working out too well. Five reception touchdowns. 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.440 On the year, he had four touchdowns from inside the 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:00.199 infrared zone, which was tied for the most in the 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:05.199 league for receptions for for touchdown receptions, yeah, very interesting, 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.639 tied with Julio Jones and Zach ERT's. Nice job. I 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.600 wouldn't have guess Julio Jones either because he scored a 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:13.320 few times. You wouldn't nicely done, Brian, What do people 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.879 need to know? Inside the five? From the Las Vegas Raiders, 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.639 Josh Jacobs had the eighth most attempts inside the infrared, 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.240 and he turned those into the fourth most yards last 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.639 year and scored five touchdowns on his attempts. Now, if 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:29.120 he can see attempts like the Big Boys, the mccaffery's, 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.320 and the Mixings of the world, we're talking right up 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:35.080 there one territory he he was, he was below them 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.800 in his attempts. But if he can see those and 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.359 what will be an improved offense. Most would think Josh 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:43.119 Jacobs might be a round one pick that's going in 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.680 round two. Raiders are a have one of the best 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:47.600 offensive lines in football too, so they should be very 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:49.960 effective there. And I'm glad you brought this up for 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.560 people that aren't familiar with deep inside the five stuff. 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:55.560 What you want from a good running back is right 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:59.800 around a fifty percent conversion rate for touchdowns on these 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.120 area's inside the five. You want to see ten carries, 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.480 five touchdowns. That's what you're looking for in a for 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:09.280 an effective goal line style back. Let's go to the Packers. 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:11.880 Last year, Aaron Jones had the sixth most carries from 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.280 inside the five, and he converted them for ten touchdowns, 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:17.959 which was tied for the most in the league. So 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:20.240 the question is what happens if a j Dillon gets 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.960 half of that that workload, does that does that strip 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:26.440 him of five touchdowns right there from last year and 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.040 really drop him down maybe a whole round or two 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:31.280 in production. And get this as a quick side note, 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:35.600 the Green Bay wide receivers caught one pass all year 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:40.199 from inside the five last season. Matt, Let's go to 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:44.159 the Washington football team. Uh, they only scored eleven times 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:46.560 from inside the five last year. That was bottom four 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.520 in the league. And they only had twelve running back 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.080 carries from inside the five. Adrian Peterson had seven of 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:55.359 those and the other five went to guys who are 0:21:55.400 --> 0:22:00.280 no longer on the tape, so that's not touched to 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:03.520 glean there. Peterson is probably gonna get the goal line work, 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.719
