Speaker 1: I think like five straight weeks for you, Brian, Yeah,

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm going for cal Ripkens record. It's very gets Ripkin

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: like for sure. Do you have you heard the uh

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: it's not maybe an urban legend, but how he kept

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: that streak alive, like the whole story of No, I

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: don't think so. Well, it's twofold. Well, this definitely happened.

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: The Orioles canceled the game, said they're like the whites

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: didn't work at Candy and when he would have missed

15
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: a game when they canceled the game rather than break

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: his because he was he was hurt or sick, so

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: they Okay, one day there's a random power outage, so

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: they funny, Okay. Some people believe that Ripken got hurt

19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: beating up Kevin Costner for sleeping with his wife. What. Yes, Wow,

20
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: And I want to believe it's true because so he

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: hurt his hand on Costner's face pretty much. That's or

22
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: give Costner a beating because he watched under Underworld. What

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: was that movie? Water World? Water World? Because I wanted

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: to give him a beating after I watched that, had

25
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: he been available, like if Costner had been standing outside

26
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: the theater when everybody got out of water World, he

27
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: never would have survived it. Yeah, if you if you're

28
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: playing any game like biggest movie flop ever, water World

29
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: is like the one it's in that comes it's in

30
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: the conversation that comes to mind. Yeah, for sure, because

31
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: anything involved, anything involves in water is super expensive. Yeah,

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: the movie was awful. Who Dennis Hopper was the bad guy? Right?

33
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: I think? I don't. I don't, I don't remember. I

34
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: did watch. I patch jet Skis and yeah it was bad.

35
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: It was super bad, you know. And here's the other

36
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: thing about Costing always plays the same guy. He's the

37
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: same guy in every movie. Who I believe is Kevin Costner.

38
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: I just think he's playing himself. I think he's virtually

39
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: no range. Now Yellowstone I haven't seen, and everybody says

40
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: it's great. So I haven't seen a Bile Accounts. It's

41
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: really really good. Yeah, that's like that is a Costner vehicle. Um,

42
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: I believe. And unless I'm I and this is sort

43
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: of stuff, usually I get right. Uh And yeah, like

44
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: I said, Bill Accounts, that's better. But I don't know.

45
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: That's favorite Kevin Costner movie. Certainly not that Men Men

46
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: in Tights, because that was really well he wasn't really

47
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: like The Robins serious and who Yeah, that's right. Everyone

48
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: since fueled the dreams for me. I like Tin Cup.

49
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: You ever seen Tin Cup? You know? I I've normally

50
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: I've seen all these I see all these not golf

51
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: but sports movies, but I've never seen that. You'd love it.

52
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: It's a good movie. Really. Yeah, I'm gonna give you

53
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: the best, I think the best Costner movie he did

54
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: very early in his career, and it's it's a great

55
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: um CIA spy thriller called No Way Out. I've seen that.

56
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Have you really been a long time? Yeah, it has

57
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: been a long time. No Way Out. As I'm pulling

58
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: it up right now. Nineteen eighty seven, Sean Young was

59
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: at the height of her powers at the time as

60
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: a love interest in this and um, it involves Costner

61
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: trying to chase down Uh he's a naval intelligence officer

62
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: trying to chase a Russian mole. Yeah, and it's been

63
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah, that's like one I would rent,

64
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, if you're in Minnesota from video update. Yeah,

65
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: that's that's right. Um, the Untouchables too. Yeah, the last

66
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: the last blockbuster just closed in the last in the

67
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: last few weeks, by the way. Yeah, so I think

68
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: we're now at zero blockbusters, which is kind of sad

69
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: end of an end of an era. All right, that

70
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: was a great episode. Yeah, we're all edward on here.

71
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: What are we talking about? Now? That's fine, it's it's

72
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: it's the off season. We get to we get to

73
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,559
Speaker 1: talk about this stuff. And last week's Fantasy Football Weekly

74
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: had a lot of big name free agent signings. This

75
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: week is also free agent signings, but the names are

76
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: not as big. It's it's the Leftovers. It is a

77
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: little bit of the Leftovers edition. I like the way

78
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: you framed that up. Also, let me mention this, well,

79
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: we're talking to the episode right there. Yeah, you did

80
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: the Leftovers. Welcome. Um, Now I have to try to

81
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: remember that between now and when we posted. Speaking of episodes,

82
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: we're doing an experiment. Next week. We're going to drop

83
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: four Fantasy Football Weekly micro editions. What is Fantasy Football

84
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: Weekly micro you might be asking. These are five to

85
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: ten minutes long. We just drill down on one player.

86
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: We're using Guilloteing Leagues writer Tyler Knable. He's doing at

87
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: least the first batch. Brian, I know you want to

88
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: do some um and this is just a way to

89
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: get a little Fantasy Football weekly in your life Monday

90
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: through Friday. Yeah, and like we did to do a

91
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: deep dive on interesting players in which there's uh, there's

92
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: some you know, there's some storylines, some some some things

93
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: to talk about. I've read Tyler's work. I've edited Tyler,

94
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: Yes you have, and it didn't require too much editing.

95
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: Got some chops so he does. Yeah, maybe maybe I'll

96
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: come by and to supply some pressure, give him the evil.

97
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: I like that up and com let's see what he's got,

98
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: see if he backs down from the challenge. So it's

99
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: an experiment and we welcome your feedback. You know how

100
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: to reach Brian and i I'm at Paul Charging on Twitter.

101
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: Brian is at bt XJ on Twitter, and we welcome

102
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: your feedback on that new potential format that will unfurl

103
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: next week Fantasy Football Weekly Micro. Let's talk about the

104
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: notable additions from the last week of free agency. Getting

105
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: with Gardner Minshew the current starter for the Colts, and

106
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: depending on who they draft, they may lean on Garner

107
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: Minshew to start some series of games for much of

108
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: the season if the guy they draft is ultimately not

109
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: ready for the start of the season. Pretty much took

110
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: my talking point. That was it right there. Okay, this

111
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: is really just for super flexi leagues. Ye, Gardner Minshew.

112
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: The Colts highly likely to take a quarterback of the

113
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: third overall pick, but yes, either way you expect Minshew

114
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: to start the season. But yeah, if they end up

115
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: with one of the more polished prospects who are CJ.

116
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: Stroud and Bryce Young, basically you'd think Minshew would get

117
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: the first three to four games at least. But if

118
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: they go with a Will Levis or Anthony richardson that time, yeah,

119
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: and who knows if India gets off to a hot

120
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: start with Minshew, who's had some success in the NFL.

121
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: Granted he couldn't win games with the Eagles last year

122
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: her filling in her. He's putting up numbers, but he's

123
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: got experience. Though, if you're you know, in a super

124
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: FLEXI league, he might be startable once we have have

125
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: the schedule. But that's really it for the quarterbacks. I

126
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: guess real quick, we can mention Jacoby Brissette to Washington.

127
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: He'll put Sam Howell and Camp Brissetts. There's a good

128
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: chance person he'll probably start the season. He proven game manager.

129
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: Washington season starts off, so he's he he might be

130
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: viable in Super flexus start the season. But that's about

131
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: it for the quarterbacks. I mean, we're still waiting on

132
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson. Yeah, to be finalized. Cam

133
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: Newton might be coming back to No. In his mind

134
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: he has all The league has no interest in Cam Newton.

135
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: We'll wait, We'll wait for further news on that one.

136
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: It's funny because you did something that I have done

137
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: as well. We forget Arizona is picking three because they're

138
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: not in the quarterback you know, so you go, Okay,

139
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: the Colt We think of the Colts as having the

140
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: third pick because they're going to have the third quarterbacks. Yes,

141
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: and I've done the same thing. You're not the only

142
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: one that's done that, and would someone could jump up

143
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: in that three spot too. You never know who needs

144
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: a quarterbacks to the running back position. Brian, I want

145
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: to talk about Damien Harris to Buffalo, which I think

146
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: is a fascinating move. I'm a big fan of Damien Harris,

147
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: and I like, I don't want to brag, but one

148
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: of the best calls I've ever made in the history

149
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football Weekly was putting Damien Harris on the

150
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns two pre seasons ago, season before last, and

151
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: now he goes to Buffalo. He played injured all of

152
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: last year and he still finished his running back twenty eight,

153
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: which Pro Football focuses running back twenty eight, which is

154
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: not terrible. In the previous season, healthy Damien Harris was

155
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: Pro Football focuses running back five five, and in his

156
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: four healthy games to start the season, Harris scored in

157
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: three of the four games, and he averaged sixty five

158
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: yards per game while yielding to Ramandri Stevenson. Now, over

159
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: the past two years, Belichick trusted Harris to handle the

160
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: ball twenty times inside the five yard line, and he

161
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: converted those twenty carries into twelve touchdowns, which is the

162
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: kind of ratio you're looking for from a power back.

163
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: So the question is now with Damian Harrison Buffalo, Devin

164
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: Singletary's gone, James Cook doesn't look like he's built for

165
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: goal line use. His quarterback is, though, So who's going

166
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: to get it's inside the five? Who do you think

167
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: is going to get the ball? Not James Cook, Not

168
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: James Cook, It's either Harris or or Allen. Yep, I

169
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be I think they I think they

170
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: might want to keep some of that. The may want

171
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: to keep some of the mileage off of Josh Allen

172
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: and go with Damien Harris for those short touchdowns. You

173
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: gotta love in the two baked in revenge games now

174
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: against the Patriots as well. For Damian Harris's good point,

175
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: who in some ways the Patriots for considering how the

176
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: money they gave James Robinson, they kind they kind of

177
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: picked James Robinson over Damian Harris, which I do not

178
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: understand at all. Why would you do that? But the

179
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: Patriots makes so many dumb signings that you just you

180
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: can't They're inexplicable. We can't get through a show without

181
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: ragging on Bill Belichick as a GM. Correct, even if

182
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, we know he's the real GM there. I'm

183
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna be buying Harris. I think I'm

184
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: gonna have Harris on way more teams than most people

185
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: are going to. I'll be fascinated to see where his

186
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: ADP shakes out in the coming days, as as as

187
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: the best ball community starts reacting to Damien Harrison is

188
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: his new landing spot in Buffalo. It's certainly bummed up

189
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, but yeah, he stays healthy, he could

190
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: pay off big time, right. I mean, he's in arguably

191
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: one of the one of what are the five? For sure,

192
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: it's not even an argument five best offenses in the NFL.

193
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: He's a touchdown score. I'm interested in Damian Harris. We

194
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: mentioned Devin Singletary leaves Buffalo, he goes to Houston. What

195
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on Singletary's new home. Yeah, to the Texans,

196
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: just on a one year deal. Turns twenty six in September.

197
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: Still sort of young for a running back. Twenty six,

198
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: You're fine, But is he any good? I don't just

199
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: three one hundred yard rushing games in four seasons with

200
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: the bills has missed slash uh missed. Broken tackle rate

201
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: has dropped every year since he was a rookie. Now,

202
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: speaking of missed tackles and broken tackles, Damien Pierce proved yes,

203
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: it's still Pierce is still the guy. And we've said

204
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: it before. The bell cow is extinct. Someone Pierce wasn't

205
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna get all the touches. No running back is gonna

206
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: get all the touchedar touches. Kind of did last year,

207
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: but that was a that was a different that was

208
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: a different coaching staff, and Pierce will probably get rested more. So,

209
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: I'm seeing like a shift where Pierce is dropping a

210
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: little bit in single Tary is bumped up. I'm viewing

211
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: it completely the opposite. I'm buying the small dip on

212
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: Pierce and I'm just still I'm out on single Tary

213
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: like he's not a special not a special player. Some

214
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: people are saying he's a better pass catcher, but no,

215
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: Pierce Pierce is a Pierce catch. Yeah, they didn't use

216
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: him enough that way. I will say a single Tarry,

217
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: he will make his way onto the field. He is

218
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: good in pass pro He was ranked like top five

219
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus the last three or four years so,

220
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: and not that Pierce. He's good in pass protection too,

221
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, single Tarry will eat into Pierce's word. But

222
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: Pierce is still the starter. So I'm not too worried

223
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: about your Damien Pierce Shares. Don't panic too much. Last

224
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: running back. I just want to touch on it. Not

225
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: for a long time. Donte Foreman is in Chicago where

226
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: he muddies the waters a little bit. Because Foreman's a

227
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: big back straight ahead, he can plow some. He actually

228
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: broke off some long runs for Carolina last year and

229
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: had games where he looked pretty good. I'm a little

230
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: disappointed because I'd like Khalil Herbert to get a lot

231
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: of use. But I and I think Foreman. I still

232
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be like two thirds Herbert, one third Foreman.

233
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: But I'm worried about the goal line. Let me throw

234
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: one more end quick too, Okay. Dernest Johnson to Jacksonville. Now,

235
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: I don't care about that. I care about Jerome Ford.

236
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: He's now left over in Cleveland. It's going to be

237
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: really in Johnson gone, Cream Hunt gone. He's back up

238
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. Ford was a good looking rookie last year

239
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: coming out of Cincinnati. A guy I was scooping up

240
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: before the drafty like than give Paul, at the time,

241
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: we thought Kareem Hunt was gonna get traded, remember that too,

242
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: but like a guy like man if he goes to

243
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: the Texans, like that was the spot you know you

244
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: might before that draft, before the act. Now it's it's

245
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Chubb and it's Ford, and there's the rumors have kind

246
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: of died down on the trading Nick Chubb that those

247
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: were kind of swirling a little bit. But but anyway,

248
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: Jerome Ford essentially free and best ball start up dynasty leagues,

249
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: keep him on your radar. I certainly am. Let's take

250
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: a break and then we'll talk about some of the

251
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: wide receiver and tight end free agency moves when we

252
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: come back. Fantasy Football Weekly, Segment number two, Fantasy Football Weekly,

253
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: Paul Charchie and Brian Johnson with you. Let's talk about

254
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: the wide receiver free agent moves, beginning with Adam Theelan

255
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: who goes to Carolina. This is first of two Carolina

256
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: moves we'll talk about. So they're a contender then because

257
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: theland wanted to you want to go to a team

258
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: that can win the Super Bowl. Super so yeah, okay,

259
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: well sure, all right, um, you know what we all know,

260
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland's production dropped off massively last year. Not massively,

261
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: that's not fair. It dropped off notably. Let's go with that.

262
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: He underachieved too. He did not meet expectations last year.

263
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: Now what's a little bit unclear is how much of

264
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: it was a drop off an ability for an aging

265
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver versus just like the introduction of t. J. Hockinson,

266
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: who got a ton of got a ton of looks,

267
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: and the absurd talent of Justin Jefferson, which mandates a

268
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: certain number of looks in every game. You gotta get

269
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: the ball to Justin Jefferson. He's a special player Hall

270
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: of Fame pace. So I think that parts a little

271
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: bit unclear about what went down last year. Obviously, the Panthers,

272
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, they paid decent money for Theeeland. They think

273
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: he's got a little something left. Theeeland was middle of

274
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: the pack in next gen stats cushion and separation stats,

275
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: but that's about where he was the previous year, and

276
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: he had been very good the previous year. This is

277
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: what was really interesting about Feeling. Get this, he was

278
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: dead last in yak yards after the catch at two

279
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: point two yards after catch last year. Not good, No, something,

280
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: he's thrived at his prime correct, correct, And he was

281
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: negative point nine yards over expectation, which was tied for

282
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: last among wide receivers with at least sixty receptions last year.

283
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: So those are some statistical angles that suggest that feeling,

284
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: even taking out to Jefferson factor and the Hockinson factor,

285
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: feeling wasn't at the same level last season. You're not

286
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: paying as much as you were for feeling as you

287
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: were last year. But for me, I gotta see it.

288
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: I gotta see the production before I buy in undrafted,

289
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: even if he's going in the tenth eleventh round, I

290
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: don't know. I think there's someone more enticing there, well,

291
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: not on roster. Yeah, we shouldn't laugh at the Panthers

292
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: being contenders in that division though, Well, no, that division

293
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: is bad enough that. Yeah, they're not Super Bowl contenders,

294
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: but they are potential South. They're in the tournament in

295
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: the NFC. You should have been last year. Yeah, that

296
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: division was for the taking. You know. That's gonna put

297
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: rubbing Salton. But will tell that story another time, Caroline.

298
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: It's got the first pick in the draft. They will

299
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: take a quarterback. We don't know who will be throwing

300
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: the ball yet to Adam Feeling, but you know most

301
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks, you know you're looking at a twenty two,

302
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: twenty five touchdown season. You know, modest production. But the

303
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: good news is Adam Theeland is wide receiver one at

304
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: least for the moment. And it might be it's probably

305
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: gonna be Andy Dalton to start. No, I don't know.

306
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. When you've got the first pick overall,

307
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: usually that kid, that kid starts right off the bat.

308
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: But if it is Dalton, that's a good quarterback for

309
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: Theeling because Theeeland is not a deep threatned Dalton does

310
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: not have a deep ball. Well, that is true. Are you?

311
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: Are you more of a young or stroud guy. I'm

312
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: the Will Webvis guy just because I got money on it.

313
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: I love, I love, I love the long odds. I

314
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: don't know, I'd be shocked if they went that way.

315
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: You had a good pro day on Friday. At least

316
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: he threw the ball far. But you know, we knew,

317
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: we knew he could do that. He looks like he

318
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: and Richardson are like the the more enticing long term

319
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,239
Speaker 1: prospects to me, but between sure, but I don't think

320
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: they're gonna go that way. Probably not Stroud. I don't know.

321
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: The size of Bryce Young is just starting to worry

322
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: me a little bit. But I don't want to read

323
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: into that. Not much. But I still think I like

324
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: Stroud a little more. Damn Okay, I like Bryce Young

325
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: a little Mark. It's funny Ohio State quarterbacks c J.

326
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: Strout Ohio and Alabama quarterbacks where Bryce Young went have

327
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: sucked historic So one of them or both hopefully can

328
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: break the mold for their alma maters. But I think

329
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: historically they don't pan out. All right, Let's let's keep

330
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: moving through the list of free agent wide receivers. Next up,

331
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: why don't we just stay with Carolina for a minute,

332
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: and mentioned the DJ Chark move to Carolina Panthers needed

333
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: some speed at theition Becaustellan's not going to bring you

334
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: speed at the position. Teras Marshall's no good um. DJ

335
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: Chark last season third in average targeted air yards at

336
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: fifteen and a half dark air yards. Wow. The part

337
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: that worries you was he had the fifth worst separation

338
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: according to next Gen Stats. Yeah, he doesn't beat you

339
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: on the ground with his speed, but he can go

340
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: up and get it six four, big body receiver. He'll

341
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: be certainly be a threat in the red zone. So

342
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: much for the Arris Marshall hype. That was fun for staff,

343
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: right exactly. That's dead now, I think. But let China

344
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: just hasn't you know, as it felt like when he

345
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: was a rookie, I was pretty excited about what he

346
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: could do in the NFL. It's look, it's it's just

347
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: not gonna work out. Yeah, Chark was broke out in

348
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 1: his second year with Jacksonville in twenty nineteen. But over

349
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: the last two years is fifteen games. Uh, combine with

350
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: the Lions and the Jaguars. Big cat guy, I guess

351
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: big cat teams. Oh yeah, Jacks, Yeah, Ryan's and now

352
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: this yeah, Panthers. I believe he went to LSU two.

353
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: Did he really? Tigers? Okay? So super cool. He probably

354
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: has like ten dogs though. Funny Brandon Cooks is now

355
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: in Dallas where he is a I would assume a

356
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: presume starter for the Cowboys. I mean, I'm assuming that's

357
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: the case here. Man. Did the Cowboys screw up by

358
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: giving Zeke all that money at the expense of Amari Cooper.

359
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Cooper had so much left in the tank,

360
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: and he was very good for Cleveland last year. And

361
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: what a blunder Jerry Jones in that front office made

362
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: by giving Zeke the big money and not Cooper. And

363
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: now here we are just two years later. Zeke's off

364
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: the team, Cooper's on a different team, and they've had

365
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: to turn to the aging veteran Brandon Cooks. Yeah he

366
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: should start, though Ceedee Lamb thrives in the slot, so

367
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: they're really going to try to keep him in the

368
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: slot for the most part, I think. So it'll be

369
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: Cooks and Gallop on the outside. And even though Cooks

370
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: turns thirty in September, he's still got a little more

371
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: speed than Michael Gallup does, who's much younger. Cooks a

372
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 1: little smaller guy. But Brandon Cooks now has been traded

373
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: four times unreal ties Eric Dickerson for the most times

374
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: traded all time. I did not know that. Yes, I

375
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: don't know. Dickerson got traded that much, and a lot

376
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: of that was the end of his career. It had

377
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: to be passed around. But Cooks has goad. The weird

378
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: thing on Cooks is usually if you get traded this

379
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: many times, you're not very good and you're not being

380
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: very productive. Although Dickerson obviously was great in his prime.

381
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: But the thing is, he's been pretty productive at all

382
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: of his stops. Brandon Cooks has, Yeah, he's recorded one

383
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: thousand yard receiving seasons with four different teams. Has six

384
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: wild a thousand yard receiving seasons since twenty fifteen. That's

385
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: more than Stefan Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins both have had

386
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: five during that span, more than Davante Adams, more than

387
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen both have had four. So yeah, this is

388
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, it was a nice spot for him in

389
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: New Orleans in his rookie year back when Drew Brees

390
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: still sort of had an arm. But it's a good

391
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: spot for Cooks and it certainly is a help. It's

392
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: gonna help Ceedee Lamb, you know, shed some double coverage.

393
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna help Dak Prescott, It's gonna help that whole

394
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: offense for sure. So Cooks, I've seen his adp rise

395
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: at least a couple of rounds since. Yes trade Kole

396
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: Hardman goes to the Jets, and the fact that the

397
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: Chiefs a team with no depth at receiver right now,

398
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: and arguably right now, the worst receiving cor in the

399
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: NFL is in Kansas City, the thinnest receiving corps. They

400
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: just let me Coole Hardman walk and that says plenty.

401
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: And if Hardman couldn't be a regular, reliable fantasy starter

402
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: in Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes at the quarterback position

403
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: and a dearth of other wide receiver talent, especially especially

404
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: last season, the odds of Kole Hardman materializing anything in

405
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: New York to me are very low. Quarterback presumably eventually

406
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: will be Aaron Rodgers, but the fact that we're not

407
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: there yet is making this a little bit hazier as

408
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: every day goes by. And I don't like that Hardman

409
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: has to compete against Alan Lazard and Garrett Wilson especially,

410
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: So I think there's I don't think there's a lot

411
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: to see here on the Hardman sign now doesn't excite

412
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: me at all. Elijah Moore goes from the Jets to Cleveland.

413
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: Michael Horton was drafted before d came at cav Deonte Johnson,

414
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: Terry mcclaurin. I think I've talked about that second round

415
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: fifty six, total bust. For as many good decisions as

416
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: that front office is made in Kansas City, that one

417
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: in the Clyde Edwards Hilaire Oof, it was hurt. Elijah Moore,

418
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: speaking of draft capital, drafted thirty fourth overall by the

419
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: Jets in twenty twenty one, So just going into his

420
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: third year last season was a wash. But remember his

421
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: rookie year. He went on a seven game tear. Oh yeah,

422
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: he was great Week eight seen. Yeah, top five wide

423
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: receiver during that span. Suffered a quad injury in the

424
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: Week thirteen game, was placed on ir for the rest

425
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: of the season, but he was popping off then, Yes,

426
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: and that was with Joe Flacco Mike White as his quarterback.

427
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: Things weren't much better last year. But he really didn't

428
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: get a shot last year, but he'll get a shot

429
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. He'll probably start in the slot with Cooper

430
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: and Donovan People's Jones on the outside. I'd still project

431
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,239
Speaker 1: him as the third receiving option amongst those guys. I'm

432
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: a big DPJ guy and Cooper the clear alpha. But yeah, more,

433
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: this is a second chance, so hopefully he makes the

434
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: most of it. He's you know, he was left for

435
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: dead essentially towards the end of last year. But this

436
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: should hopefully revitalize his career. So interested interested to see

437
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: how he does. Let's go to the quarter tight end position.

438
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: Excuse me, Dalton Schultz goes to Houston. Now, what I

439
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: found kind of interesting about this is reportedly Shechltz's agent

440
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: turned down a three year, thirty six million dollar contract

441
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: at some point middle of this past season. And this

442
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: past season was was really a tale of two seasons

443
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: for for Dalton Shechltz. He was hurt early in the

444
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: year and really struggled through the first half or so

445
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: of the season, then got hell year and became a

446
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger part of the offense for Dallas, and

447
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: really from week nine forward week eight forward, Schultz was

448
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: pretty much an every week starter in the tight end landscape.

449
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: And you know, it wasn't all great games, but they

450
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: were all much better games for him after a very

451
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: rough start to the season. And Schultz goes to Houston. Now, well,

452
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: he's like the best receiver on the team right now.

453
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure things will change in the draft,

454
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: but you know, given the lack of other talent for

455
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: anybody at any position to catch a pass. Dawn Schultz

456
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: could be sitting on hundred and ten targets. We could

457
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: be sitting on a very big season here. Yeah, and

458
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: the Texans, really, their tight ends as a whole have

459
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: put up good numbers. It's just been so hard to pay.

460
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 1: It's like Jordan Aikins, Brevin Jordan, another guy, Pararell, Barrel Cooper.

461
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: And granted Dallas was always Dallas is a very tight

462
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: end friendly offense, feels like it has been for the

463
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: last like twenty years. But I think Houston is an

464
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: ideal land spot for him fantasy wise. So all right, yeah,

465
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: he's he's bumped up because people were expecting him to

466
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: leave Dallas, but it's a good spot for him. Um,

467
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: he's competing with Robert Woods who's now in Houston, and

468
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, who got you know, I'm still optimistic that

469
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: Collins can end up being a pretty good player. Now.

470
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: M John Michi is going to come back from his

471
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: leukemia and presumably be a factor this season, and so

472
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: he'll be there as well. That um that I guess

473
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: to get some balls from. But Dalin Schultz brings some

474
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: veteran reliability to to that group and I I'm optimistic. Sadly,

475
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: in that same vein h Foster Moree was diagnosed with

476
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: a I can't remember the exact form of cancer in

477
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: foma fomas. Yeah, should make a full recovery hopefully. But

478
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: he was on the market. But uh, we'll not be

479
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: playing this year yaftly but best wishes too false? Yeah,

480
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: for sure, absolutely, um Oj Howard and Austin Hooper go

481
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas. Yeah, I was a little intrigued when

482
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Howard later, so I'm out on that entire situation.

483
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: Where's where's dan Arnold Gond We're waiting Dan Arnold, IRV

484
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: Smith those like the last two. We've been making calls

485
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: for Dan Arnold right, trying to have work trades. I've

486
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: i trade. I think Green Bay has to become the

487
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: ideal landing spot that would be a great land born

488
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. He's a oh, you don't say Wisconsin native.

489
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: You know they need a tight end. It's just Duguara

490
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: there now. Yeah, they do need a tight end. But

491
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: I feel like everyone left on the table at all positions,

492
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: like we like in the running backs, we got Leonard Fornette,

493
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: Cream Hunt and some of the wide receivers. I think

494
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: we're getting close enough to the draft where it's very

495
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: deep at running back end yep, so it's almost like,

496
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: let's see who you can get in the draft. So

497
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I think these guys might just be hanging out in

498
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: free agency until after the draft. Sadly that might include

499
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: ob j which is interesting that you know, there was

500
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: talk of him signing in December January of last year,

501
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: right like playoff run OBJ, that kind of thing that

502
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: never materialized. Now his agent seems to be stirring up

503
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: that there's some interest in OBJ. Yeah, the Jets supposedly, Yeah,

504
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: the Jets supposedly apparently friends with Aaron Rodger is not

505
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: a Todd Yeah, okay, have a relationship. I guess, Okay,

506
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: they're both kind of weird. I guess that's why. Maybe

507
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: that's it. I don't know, but I I wonder if

508
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: Obj's can be signed before the draft, and if not,

509
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: what happens with him? Could we actually be at the

510
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: end of his career right now and we don't know it.

511
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: I feel like there was a player in recent past,

512
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: a notable player like a OBJ, where like seemed like

513
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: he's going to come back, come back, and then he

514
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: from injury and then has never did and he just

515
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: retired not remember. Maybe I don't know. Maybe I just

516
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: foresaw the future of OBJ. That could be the case. Yeah,

517
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: that the end came quick for him. Man reminder Fantasy

518
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,399

00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,760

00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,560

00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 1: so brittle that we can't take some scathing criticism if

532
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: it's warranted. If there's things that if it's like you

533
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: know what, I don't need any of that, then I'd
