1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: Now here's your host. Welcome to the first off season 6 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: edition Fantasy Football Weekly for at least for this off season. Harrison, 7 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: it's not our first half. I think we dubbed like 8 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 1: the playoff edition as the first off season show for us. 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: But speaking yes, yes, but then yes, the NFL off season, 10 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: so lots to talk about as we already start. You know, 11 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: in many ways, thinking about the upcoming free agency, the draft, 12 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. I thought it'd be fun to 13 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: go around the NFL and look at some of the 14 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: free agents that have a pretty decent chance of leaving 15 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: their team, and yet um, who could then fill in 16 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: that spot, Who could walk into that spot that's already 17 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: on that team if they don't replace the right exactly exactly. So, 18 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, for a lot of this stuff, it's TBD 19 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: on how it's actually gonna pan out. But in many 20 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: cases there's just some good opportunities. Here's the guy who's 21 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: rising to the top of the depth chart for now. 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: For now, Yeah, let's start at the quarterback position. Ben 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger is done or something. God yea the last few 24 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: years it was it was not good. But the Steelers 25 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: despite knowing this is coming, you've had, you've had eighteen 26 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: years to prepare for this moment, and they're not ready. 27 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph's the only person on is I guess, the 28 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: closest thing on on on roster right now. Yeah, I 29 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: think they have Dwayne Haskins under contract to UM but 30 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna be messy. And I believe the Steelers pick 31 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: twentieth in the draft right now, I would venture to 32 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: guess that they are a real candidate if they see 33 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback that they actually do like in the draft 34 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: that they'd move up. They've may be the most likely one. 35 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: They're also I think one of the two or three 36 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: most likely teams to make a trade for like a 37 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo or if Kirk Cousins Ull Wilson maybe maybe 38 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, if Russell Wilson, I think you I think 39 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: he will be available. We'll find out. Um So Roethlisberger. 40 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: That's because the rest of that team is ready to go. 41 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: I don't think they want to start over in the 42 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: draft if they don't have to. If if it turns 43 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: out they can get a quarterback they think they can 44 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: live with. Honestly, Jimmy Garoppolo is better than the versions 45 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: we've seen of Ben Roethlisberger the last couple of years. 46 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: And they got on the play you know, they're able 47 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs. Had heard a hot rumor 48 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: that Garoppolo maybe traded to the Buccaneers for the rights 49 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: to Tom Brady. Let's use that there could be something 50 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: to do that. It is absurd, but it's not. It's not. 51 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: It'sout merit um. So let's sorry about Tom Brady. He's 52 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: gone and that leaves obviously a roster that is otherwise 53 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: very good. Yeah, so that might roster that's really in flux, 54 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: as we'll kind of talk about as we continued down 55 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: to the running back, in the wide receiver and the 56 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: tight end position. Everybody's contract was up in Tampa this year. 57 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: This is kind of an all in moment. I think 58 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: that affected Brady's decision. Yeah, I think that they're they're 59 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: probably in a little bit of a reload situation here. 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: It could be that way. They got Kyle Trask, but 61 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: you know, we saw nothing of him during the season. 62 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: He was a round pick last year. We have no 63 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: there's no reason to believe Kyle Trask is going to 64 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: be ready to be the starter. Aaron Rodgers is expected to. 65 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: He's under contract, you know, but he's there's a good 66 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: chance he ends up leaving. That would put Jordan's Love 67 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: in a position to become a starter. Yeah. I picked 68 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: up Jordan's Love and a couple of Dynasty leagues and 69 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: just kind of stashed him just in case. I mean, 70 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: about halfway through the year when it was like, hey, 71 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: Jordan's Love is available in a trade for next to nothing. 72 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: You know, I might as well put him on there 73 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: and see if it works. And if if the Packers 74 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: offense continues to be you know, seventy effective under Jordan's 75 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: Love as it was under Aaron Rodgers, I mean, that 76 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: could be okay, unless, of course, the wide receiver position 77 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: is the biggest problems. In a minute, um, a lot 78 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: of people are gonna take the Jordan Love start that 79 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: he had against the Chiefs and try to extrapolate that 80 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: to a career or a full season career. You know, 81 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot to be gained from 82 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: that one game, to be honest, Uh, it just it 83 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: seems unlikely. Um So Rogers says, your your league m VP, 84 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: He's gone. Jordan's love will likely step in there. Jamis 85 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: Winston for the Saints is headed to free agency. I 86 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: don't know. I guess Caseom Hill is your You know, 87 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: the people signed him to too much money, so much much, 88 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: a bad deal, and then Sean Payton left. You blame him, 89 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: got off that sinking ship. God, Taysom Hill is not 90 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: an NFL starting quarterback, is a headget player. He probably 91 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: will be next, may have to be. They may just 92 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: have to, you know, they might just go to grit 93 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: their team. Given the salary cap situation. I believe there's 94 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: seventy one million dollars over the caps um, they might 95 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: just have to say, we we're gonna have to make 96 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: do with Taysom Hill, and you know, just wherever that 97 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: lands us, they should probably, you know, look, look to 98 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: get rid of some of those veterans that they have 99 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: on that roster, Cam Jordan, Michael Thomas, those kind of 100 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: they should be jettising those guys off for for draft 101 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: picks here and there. And just trying to rebuild it. 102 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: We could do a whole show on Michael Thomas and 103 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: how this thing went from so high to so low 104 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: in the span of two seasons. Unbelievable. You know. I 105 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: was thinking about that with wide receivers the other day 106 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: on how some wide receivers they just poof are gone 107 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Like the the guy this year 108 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: that I didn't even include in this list, and he 109 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: is a free agent, Allen Robinson, good receiver, good receiver, buss, 110 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: but you can put him on the list. But Darnell 111 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: Mooney already took over the number one wide receiver role there, 112 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure not in his I think he would tell 113 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: you the Bears just epically misused him for his entire career, 114 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: which is true. Okay, you can put let's talk Allen 115 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: Robinson a little bit later. Teddy Bridgewater, uh leaves behind 116 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: three thousand passing yards. His usual you know, like what 117 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: it was an eighteen touchdowns is he's a touchdown a 118 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: game guy. That's what he's always been. It's it's just, 119 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: you know, that's what he is. And that's why teams 120 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: always move on from Teddy Well and everybody earmarks the 121 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: Broncos is the best situation for a quarterback to just 122 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: kind of blump into I mean Rogers. There two great 123 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: wide receivers. He's got a good running game. Uh, the 124 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: defense seems set up to make a decent run. Yeah. 125 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: The problem is is you're you're in a division with 126 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and justin airball. See. I wonder if in 127 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers mind, that's not a factor. Oh, it's gotta be. 128 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: You know. Do you want to go into that division 129 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: and try to finish your last couple of years in 130 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: Denver against Patrick Mahomes tough? You know, maybe he's too 131 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: big of a coward for that. It's possible that's how 132 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: he ends up in Tampa. Maybe, but it'll no way, Right, 133 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gonna go to the a f C. I 134 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: don't think Packers would trade him in conference. Probably not. 135 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: Let's go to the running backs. Melvin Gordon leaves behind 136 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: roughly half the carries for the Broncos, one thousand yards 137 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: and ten touchdowns. Can I just add those thousand yards 138 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: and ten touchdowns at Javonte Williams automatically? Yes? Please, as 139 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: somebody who has Javonte Williams everywhere, yes, please. Brian and 140 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: I did a first round mock draft, as you may 141 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: have heard a couple of weeks ago, and Javonte Williams 142 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: went at the back end of the first round based 143 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: on what we know right now, which is, you know, 144 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: we don't know if he's going to be the lock 145 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: starter or not. And you've mentioned a couple of times 146 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: on this podcast that you you kind of expect Melvin 147 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: Gordon to just resign in Denver, and and and you've 148 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: said that too. I hope this doesn't happen, but I 149 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: think it might happen, and nobody wants Melvin Gordon back 150 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: in Denver, at least in the fantasy world. Melvin Gordon's 151 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: probably listening to this because he does responding fantasy on Twitter. 152 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: He does, he loves it. But yeah, sorry, Melvin Sony 153 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: Michelle will be a free agent and that will leave 154 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: Cam Akers to become the lock starter in all probability. Yeah, 155 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: you'd hope so. And Darrell Henderson did enough this year 156 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: to you know, probably forced that into a fifty fifty 157 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: time share, which I think I think the Rams kind 158 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: of want to do. Yeah, I think that's probably the 159 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: although they had used Akers, you know, when a pre injury. 160 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: They were they were using him as a workhorse back 161 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: at the tail end of last year. Definitely, Leonard four 162 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: Nett could end up leaving Tampa Bay and ended up 163 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: being a pretty successful migration from him from Jacksonville to 164 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: Tampa in his two seasons and had the great playoff 165 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: run two years ago and then last year put up 166 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: total yards and ten total touchdowns. Ronald Jones also gone, 167 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: and they won't bring him back obviously. Probably not so 168 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: unless you think Keyshawn Vaughn is a hidden talent that 169 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: none of us have seen so far. But they got 170 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: Jeo Bernard too. It's the ender contract um their team 171 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: that's ripe to find a running back. Yeah, absolutely, they 172 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: could be one that's, you know, looking for a running 173 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: back kind of at the tail end of the second 174 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: round in the draft where most running backs kind of 175 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: start falling off. So I think that second or third 176 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: round running back for Tampa is very likely. James Conner's 177 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: headed to free agency and so is Chase Edmonds, So 178 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: it's like nine total yard touchdowns between the two of 179 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: That's a great point. Somebody's walking into a massive opportunity. 180 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, like that that could be whoever ends 181 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: up signing. Let's let's just say, for instance, Leonard four 182 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: Nette ends up going to Arizona, like Leonard Fournett, suddenly 183 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: becomes for interesting if they don't have anybody else besides 184 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: him and Eno Benjamin there, Needle Benjamin is no threat 185 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: fantasy standpoint, rare shot. Penny finished the season on an 186 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: epic run the number of big, big runs, and know 187 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: I he looked way better than any previous time in 188 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: his career and in conveniently heads to free agency. Not 189 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: convenient for the Seahawks, but can be for everybody else. 190 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: So left on roster is so Chris Carson might not 191 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: ever play again. Now we're nervous about the neck injury 192 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: for Alex Collins is there, but he's nothing, And so 193 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: that leaves DJ Dallas, who's a guy that they drafted highly. 194 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: Actually he played fairly okay in a couple of little spots, 195 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: fairly fairly okay. Yeah, um, I don't know. Dj Dallas 196 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: and a team that could be rebuilding, they could just go, 197 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: you know what, we're just gonna roll with with Dj 198 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: this year and he's gonna be our our bell cow. 199 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: Seattle's a team that does bell Cow their runners. They 200 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: do um, no team more probably invested in Rashad Penny 201 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: than the team that up until Thanksgiving looked like they 202 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: had utterly botched the first round pick they had put 203 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: on Rashad Penny. So you know, I feel like emotionally 204 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: the Seahawks would like to bring him back so it 205 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: doesn't look so bad, which makes would make some sense. Right, 206 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: we'll find out, But I don't think d J Dallas 207 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: is not a league back in my mind. So all right, 208 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: let's go to Atlanta. Cor Darrel Patterson had put up 209 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: eleven hundred total yards eleven touchdowns, but petered out badly 210 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: in December where I don't know if they just overused 211 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: him or he never had that much mileage ever. I mean, 212 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like, you know, how like when 213 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: a rookie comes in and they say that you hit 214 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: the rookie wall at about week thirteen, fourteen, something like that. 215 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 1: This might have been the rookie wall for Cordrel Patterson 216 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: in his tent here in the league where he just 217 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: has never had that much of a workload before, and 218 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's just like they just didn't 219 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: give him the ball they just you know, they stopped. 220 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: And he had been He had been the Cinderella story 221 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: of the fantasy season up until roughly Thanksgiving, and then 222 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: he just petered out. It probably didn't help that Atlanta 223 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: has Matt Ryan and no wide receivers and and all 224 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: you really needed to do was stop Kyle Pitts. Actually 225 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: became kind of easy, as he only scored one touchdown 226 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: in the Continental United States this year, and it was 227 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl. He did catch plenty of passes 228 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: and he had had good yards. Stopped Pitts, and you 229 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: can stop Patterson. You stopped that offense. It was done. 230 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: When we come back, let's talk through the free agent 231 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: wide receivers and tight ends that will be finding new teams, 232 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: what that leaves behind, and what this could mean for 233 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: your fantasy team. When we returned to the second segment 234 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul 235 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: Ciarchi and Matt Harrison with you. I've already talked through 236 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback and running back free agents. The wide receiver 237 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: list is juicy, it's sure and and really probably the 238 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: best wide receiver free agent class in well, well, I'm 239 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: saying overall, the number one best wide receiver to hit 240 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: the market, Davante Adams. He could be the best wide 241 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: receiver to ever hit free agency. That's a great It's 242 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: a great thought, and off top my head, I can't 243 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: think of one better. I mean, Davanta Adams is, if 244 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: not the best wide receiver in football, he's a top 245 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: three right, And there only a couple of guys that 246 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: are even that conversation. These guys will almost never get 247 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: to free agency, but the Packers cap situation makes it 248 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: almost impossible. And Adams isn't gonna want to resign in 249 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: if he's gonna have a rebuilding quarterback. We don't think 250 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: that's true. And I think that the Adams situation plays 251 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: more into the Aaron Rodgers situation than I think people 252 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: are giving a credit. Um, do you think if Adams leaves, 253 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: Rodgers won't want to say? Yeah, I don't think. I 254 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: don't think Rodgers is gonna want to stay without Davante Adams, 255 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: and I don't think Adams is gonna want to go 256 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: back there without Aaron Rodgers. I think both of them 257 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: leave or both of them stay, And if both of 258 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: them stay, the Packers have some cap gymnastics to get 259 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: through They're gonna have to cut twenty or so players, 260 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: it looked like, and it was. It was absolutely madness. 261 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: When I saw a Packers capologist kind of go through 262 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: what they needed to do to keep just to franchise him. 263 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: They still couldn't franchise him. It was after cutting like 264 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: twenty players and including like Zadarius Smith and some of 265 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: the big players that they have. So Adams is likely 266 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: to be out of Green Bay one way or another, 267 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: which is unfortunate. Obviously, that takes one hundred twenty three 268 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: catches and fifteen hundred yards off the team, which is insane. 269 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: And by the way, MVS also a free agent, Marcos Valdez, 270 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: Scantling and Equinamius st Brown all free agents. Alan Lazard 271 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: is actually a restricted free agent as well. He'll stay, 272 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: but he'll stay, and he's likely walking into the top role. 273 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: Now is that with Aaron Rodgers? Because if all Lazard's 274 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: in the top role with Aaron Rodgers, I'm interested. Zard's 275 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: really interesting. And if he's not with Aaron Rodgers, he's 276 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: got a a new quarterback who's little green, and he's 277 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: probably gonna hit his top receiver early and often. Chris 278 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: Godwin with the Buccaneers is primed, is ready to potentially 279 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: leave the Buccaneers. No, Tom Brady. If Kyle Trask is 280 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback, he'll be further incentivized to leave. I don't 281 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: think they have anybody on that team that's ready to 282 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: step up. Brady hates Tyler Johnson, Yeah, refused. I mean 283 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: when Tyler Johnson was playing constant snaps in the in 284 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: the second part of the season, after Antonio Brown was 285 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: gone and hurt and then gone, they still didn't never 286 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: throw to Tyler Johnson hates him. Scotty Miller was a 287 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: non factor. I think there's somebody else out there that 288 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: will end up getting getting some reps, but I don't 289 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: think it's anybody on the team. Might just be Mike 290 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: Evans over and over and over again, and they can't 291 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: or they can't put god or they won't put Godwin 292 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: under the second franchise tag because he was franchise last 293 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: year and the second one makes him just like outlandishly expensive. 294 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: So Godwin's gone and he's gonna find a new place 295 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: to play this coming year. Christian Kirk and A. J. 296 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: Green are set to be free agents for Arizona. You 297 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: um you know about Ron del Moore, and he had 298 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: moments where he flashed, but just a handful of moments. 299 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: He's a water bug, special talent. He destroyed the Vikings 300 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: in Week two and then probably was never really reliable again. 301 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: That guy that I've that I'm gonna talk about right 302 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: now is already my favorite offseason sleeper for fantasy use 303 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: going into next year. That's Antoine Wesley. Yeah, he was 304 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: a touchdown hog kind of at the tail end of 305 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: the year. Kyler found him a lot, and as we know, 306 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: Arizona plays a lot of three and four wide receiver sets, 307 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: probably more than just about anybody in the league, and 308 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: Wesley really capitalized on that. With the DeAndre Hopkins injury, 309 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: I don't think they'll bring greenback. Christian Kirk has a 310 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: chance to come. He could come back um and he 311 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: he usually plays the slot, so Wesley would probably we 312 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: slot in as that other guy. Yeah, so I like 313 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: I like him a little bit more than Ron Dale. 314 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: He's tall, range, and you're right they liked throwing to 315 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 1: him in the end zone. I think Antoin Wesley is 316 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: a fascinating sleeper. Interesting on the did you see the 317 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray unfollowed all of the Cardinals accounts and stuff 318 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: like that, and his Instagram. He took everything but two 319 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: photos out of his Instagram account. I understand. Yeah, I 320 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: don't know why we should go back and and like 321 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray think this is it's going to get better 322 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: for him. I mean, they gave him, they improved his 323 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: offensive line, they gave him a an elite wide receiver 324 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: to throw to. I don't why would what does Kyler 325 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: Murray have to be upset about? I don't know. They 326 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: brought in J. J. Watt, they brought in zach Ertz, 327 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: they brought in A. J. Green, They brought in guys 328 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: who could win DeAndre Hobbins exactly. I don't understand. I hope, 329 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: I hope he's not a diva. Mike Williams coming off 330 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: probably his best NFL season yards, nine touchdowns, but now 331 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: he heads to free agency. What does that love with 332 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Don't you think Mike Williams would have wanted 333 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: the season to end about Week eight and to go 334 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: to free agency at that point because he he had 335 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: he had he had those uhty six yards and nine touchdowns, 336 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: and I think about of that production happened in the 337 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: first eight weeks, at the first five weeks is so 338 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: what I remember it as. Um. Josh Palmer, third round 339 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,719 Speaker 1: draft pick from last year, had flashed a few at 340 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: a few moments over this year. Yeah, him and Jalen 341 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: Guiten were almost mirror images of themselves in in like 342 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: production on the field. I think both have a shot 343 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: too to really shine next year, but they're probably both 344 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: Guitan's coming way later in in early like best ball drafts. 345 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: He's like about forty spots later. But Palmer is in 346 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: a good spot too, and and and both really stand 347 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: to just kind of step up in this offense with 348 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 1: air bear, which is a good thing to have. Last week, 349 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: in advance of the Super Bowl, Arthur Blank talked about 350 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley and basically said, we don't know what's up, 351 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: and you know, we we hope he stays, but we 352 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: don't know if he wants to stay here. And it's 353 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: really gonna be up to Calvin Ridley. He's gonna be 354 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: on the fifth year of his rookie deal, um A, 355 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: which is the year where you make money. This is right, 356 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: This is like the money year for him. So you know, 357 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, if for whatever his reasons were for stepping 358 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: away for the team, Um, they weren't financially motivated, because 359 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: this only hurts him financially, And so nobody could ever 360 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: accuse Calvin Ridley of having you know done, you missed 361 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: the season for that reason. But if you're the Falcons 362 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: and you're looking at going into a fifth year with 363 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: Ridley and and in his fourth year he missed half 364 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: the season for you know, his personal reasons whatever, they 365 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: are not not judging there, but you gotta look at 366 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: that asset and go, is it just time to trade 367 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: Ridley get something for him at this point before we'd 368 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: get nothing for him when he leaves after year five, 369 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: which unless you franchise him or whatever. They've still got 370 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan with like three years left on a very 371 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: expensive contract, and so they I don't think they're ready 372 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: to totally rebuild, but really could be gone. Gauge could 373 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: be gone. So you know, there's they got no one left. Really, 374 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: they have nobody left, even Cordarrel Patterson, who might be 375 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: a wide receiver and Bic circles Brian's Brian. I can 376 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: hear him from way over there, Kyle Pitts receiver. Uh, 377 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: let's go to Jamison Crowder and Braxton Barrios are both 378 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: headed to free agency. Elijah Moore, who stepped up big 379 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: time in the second half of the season, looks like 380 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna walk into a lot of reps for the Jets. 381 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: Well and Crowder and Barrios both kind of split the 382 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: slot and both kind of played opposite each other. When 383 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: Crowder was hurt, Barrios stepped in. When Barrios was hurt, 384 00:20:53,680 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: Crowder stepped in. But together nineties seven catches, almost nine 385 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns. That's a lot of work that 386 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: that is going away from that offense and the Jets 387 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: they have to top ten picks. Uh, There's there's a 388 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: lot of decent wide receivers in this class. I think 389 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: people kind of like this wide receiver class a little bit. 390 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: So it would not surprise me if the Jets are 391 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: in that wide receiver market and they bring another guy 392 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: into more breakout he could he could absolutely be a stunner. 393 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup and Cedric Wilson. You know, the funny thing 394 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: is you Gallop had the had the big injury early 395 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: in the season, then he came on the field, played 396 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: really really well, then he got hurt again, and when 397 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: he wasn't on the field, it was Cedric Wilson on 398 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: the field in his place, who was also playing well. 399 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: And we all knew Gallop was hitting free agency. I don't, 400 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: I don't. I think that we kind of missed that 401 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson was hitting free agency too, because I remember 402 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: talking on on the Fantasy Football Weekly regular season shows about, oh, 403 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson's gonna step into this huge role here. But 404 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: he's a free agent too, but more much more signable, 405 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: I think than Michael Gallup. Sign a bole. Keep an 406 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: eye on Malik Turner, who actually flashed a few times 407 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: this year. And with the Cowboys having so much money 408 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,479 Speaker 1: tied up in Amari Cooper and then they probably have 409 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: to pay Ceedee Lamb very soon, I would I would 410 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: venture a guest that they're not going to spend any 411 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: more money on the wide receiver position and just kind 412 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: of roll with a guy like Malik Turner who's got 413 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: some electricity to him and he's just the third wide receiver, 414 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: so let's roll with it makes sense. Let's go to 415 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, free agent coming out of the Super Bowl. 416 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: Um Van Jefferson was already a starter he's already a starter. 417 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: We gotta remember that Robert Woods will come back. Yeah, 418 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: it'll be Woods. Woods. Woods will be there. Jefferson's probably 419 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: still in his same spot. But what a fortuitous bounce 420 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: for the Rams. By the way they go get Odell 421 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: to think they're going to have Woods, Odell and Cup 422 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: on the field, and then Woods got hurt that week, 423 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: So um good good on them to have that depth. 424 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: Allen Robinson is almost certainly of the Bears chance he 425 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: was horribly misused by the Bears. I just think just 426 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: she sheer receiving talent. At least going into last season. 427 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: I used to say Allen Robinson is a top ten 428 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: receiving talent who just never gets used properly by a 429 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: terrible Bears offense. Um. Now, he last year was so 430 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: down for Allen Robinson, I don't know that I can 431 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: reasonably call him a top ten receiving talent anymore. But 432 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: there's still clearly talent there, and he may find his 433 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: way on a on a surprisingly affordable deal to some 434 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: team that could really use him. Well. He made eighteen 435 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: million dollars last year. That's a lot for the production 436 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: you got out of it. For what you've got the 437 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: Bears did not get good value on that last year. 438 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean Robinson could end up. You'd think 439 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: Robinson would be a guy who's like, I've made a 440 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: lot of money. Now I'm gonna go play with Patrick Mahomes, 441 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go now, I'm gonna go play with I'm 442 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 1: gonna go play with Joe Burrow. I'm gonna Yeah. I mean, 443 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: if you're him, that would make so much sense. Un 444 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: let's take a break and we'll knock down a handful 445 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: of tight ends. And there's actually there's a shocking number 446 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: of tight ends that are headed to free agency. We'll 447 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: talk about them and who could possibly step in for 448 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: those tight ends when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, 449 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: final segment Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Chargie and Matt Harrison 450 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: with you. We're breaking down, as you already know, unless 451 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: you for some reason, they're just jumping into the third segment, 452 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: all the free agents, the key free agents, fantasy free 453 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: agents that we care about. And we've already done quarterbacks, 454 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: running backside receivers. Let's talk tight ends, beginning with Dalton Schultz, 455 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: who's set for free agency. What do you think this means? 456 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: For Blake Jarwin, who had signed that big deal two 457 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: years ago then lost that season to a c L. 458 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: Then last year had lost the starting job to Dalton 459 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: Schultz well and and Jarwin ended up getting injured at 460 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: the tail end of the season again and missed. So 461 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: there's obviously some concern there that he's just not longevity. Yeah, 462 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: there there there's that that health concern for Jarwin. But 463 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: if if the Cowboys can't sign Schultz, Jarwin probably regains 464 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: his role as the top tight end there and they 465 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: can't afford to put another good tight end under contract. 466 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,719 Speaker 1: They're already paying Jarwin too much. Yeah, I don't know, 467 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know right off hand what Jarwin's 468 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: outs are, the potential outs on the contract, but it 469 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: would be it would be tough for them to sign 470 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: Schultz and then not cut Jarwin. In some Tyler Conklind 471 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: in Minnesota was ended up having a pretty good season 472 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: after IRV Smith was lost, but he's headed to free 473 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: agency and IERF Smith will be coming back from injury. Yeah, 474 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: and you'd think that with Kevin O'Connell coming in as 475 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: the new head coach the Vikings, IRV Smith's going to 476 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: be utilized some similarly to what Tyler higg Be and 477 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: Gerald Everett in the past with the rams have been 478 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: been utilized as and if Smith's and playmaker, we've we've 479 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: seen it before. He's he's only showed it in little spurts. 480 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: But um, I think a lot of people will be 481 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: excited about IRV Smith next year coming into the year 482 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: and he'll have some sleeper status to him that I 483 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: think he's going to be the prototypical second tight end 484 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: that you taketeenth round and if he happens to blow up, great, 485 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: and if he doesn't, you're not in trouble because he's 486 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: your second tight end. For if Smith, David and Joeku 487 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: is going to be out and Harrison Bryant will be 488 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: a I think we'll walk into the starting role. Well, 489 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: Austin Hooper is still there, but there's a potential out 490 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: on his contract where Cleveland could walk away from a 491 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: ton of money on Hooper if they get rid of him, 492 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: they should, which which all of a sudden, Harrison Bryant, 493 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: who's fault. He is very athletic and and he vaults 494 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: into the top spot and probably the maybe the second 495 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: receiving option for Baker Mayfield after Jarvis Landry, I mean, 496 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: Donovan People's Jones is there too, but there's not a 497 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: lot of great receiving options on that team. So Harrison 498 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: Bryant could stand to get a huge up tick, and 499 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: Target really could. He's one of my favorite sleepers heading 500 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: into this. Uh this next season. UM let's move over 501 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: to Rob Gronkowski. I believe that he will end up 502 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: leaving the Bucks because Brady's not there and there's so 503 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: so much overhaul in this offense, and I don't think 504 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: he's gonna want to walk into that. Uh. He may 505 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: still play next year, but I don't think it's for Tampa. No, 506 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: I don't think he plays for Tampa. Um. I I 507 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: would probably lean towards retirement, like like a sixty forty 508 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: kind of thing. But I have heard that he does 509 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: want to play in a couple of different spots, and 510 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 1: he even mentioned I believe to somebody that he'd like 511 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: to play with Joe Burrow and with c j Uzoma 512 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: hitting free agency, there's there's a little hole in that 513 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: that area, and Drew Sample is gonna be the go to. 514 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,719 Speaker 1: Probably not but the Bengals, actually, I believe have like 515 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: one of the better top five cap situations in the 516 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: next year, so they could go get a guy like 517 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: Gronk and whether or not the that situation is good 518 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: for him, that would be really interesting. We should also 519 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: mention O. J. Howard also a free agent, Cam Brake 520 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: maybe the last tight end standing for loving some camp 521 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: right that that dude caught so many touchdowns that one 522 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: year to get eight year that was great, um eight words, 523 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: great for break eight great break. Jared cook Is is 524 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: headed to free agency. Donald parm was a guy that 525 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: I was recommending people pick up. Yeah, premature speculations. Yeah, 526 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: as as a guy to pick up for next year. 527 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: He suffered that really bad injury and uh concussion. I 528 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: think it was concussion or back, back or neck or something. 529 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: Was completely knocked out. Yeah, so but I'm presuming that's 530 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: going to be fine. Palm is a freaking beast. He's 531 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: six ft eight. I mean, he's just power forward. You 532 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: know the problem His parum is a free agent too. 533 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: I don't think he is. He is. He sure took 534 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: it off the off the list that spots. Okay, all right, 535 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: I was under the impression he was the letter. Now 536 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: who's the other tight end? I don't even not Steven 537 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: Anderson problem with something like I thought for sure Parham 538 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: was still look it up just to make sure, But yeah, 539 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: I believe Donald. While you're doing that, I will I 540 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: will segue for a minute to Arizona, where zach Ertz 541 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: is going to be leaving. Um. Max Williams will look 542 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: great for like four weeks and then got hurt, So 543 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,239 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not positive with his status. His status is, 544 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: but the zach Ertz rental worked out for the Arizona 545 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: in the sense that he was very productive, but did 546 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: not work out because in the sense that they didn't 547 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: even get a playoff win. Parum is an exclusive, right, 548 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: I knew they're gonna keep Parum. They probably will. He's 549 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: only twenty five years old. Yes, well, as long as 550 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: he's healthy. Yeah, as long as he's recovered from that injury, 551 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: I think that they will definitely keep him. Mike Kissecki 552 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: frustrating season. You never knew when to start in games 553 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: where he just disappear, and it's been this way his 554 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: whole career. Games where he just totally disappears. But you 555 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: you look at him when he does get the ball. 556 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: The clear guys clearly talented but they just never they 557 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: never went to him on a regular basis. We don't 558 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: know what's missing from what do the coaches know and 559 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: what does the team know about Mike Kiseki that we 560 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: don't see on the field. Well, new uh coach in Miami, 561 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, right, um, who knows a little something about 562 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: getting the ball to a tight end? Exactly right? You what, 563 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: what the the easy narrative will be is gizikis, you know, 564 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: falling into the George Kittle role. Obviously, Giziki is a 565 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: free agent here and and some things could change. You 566 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: might see a few different people there, like maybe Zach 567 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: Ertz signs that a free agent deal down there or 568 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: something like that. But Gisiki is definitely an interesting guy 569 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: wherever he lands, because there is enough talent and if 570 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: you think, if you think that the talent is there, 571 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: he just needs a good opportunity at that point. So uh, 572 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: he's he's a guy. Definitely keep my eye on where 573 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: he lands this year. It'll be a blast tracking all 574 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: of this. I think the new league year when free 575 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: agency starts is twelfth of March. Okay, so right in there, 576 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: So we've got only only a month less than a 577 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: month ago, A couple of weeks, yeah, and so the 578 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: less than a month ago before free agency starts, and man, 579 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: the NFL cycle, there's just there's no downtime. Combine, combine 580 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: in early March, right into free agency, right into the draft. 581 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: It's it's always something, and we'll be here with you 582 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: every step of the way.
