WEBVTT - The Leftovers 0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:04.880 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeart Radio. 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:11.280 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly 0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:15.280 source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.799 whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now, 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:27.200 here's your host, Paul. It's another edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.160 I am Paul Charchi and co host today Brian Johnson. 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.680 I think like five straight weeks for you, Brian, Yeah, 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.400 I'm going for cal Ripkens record. It's very gets Ripkin 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:38.720 like for sure. Do you have you heard the uh 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:42.839 it's not maybe an urban legend, but how he kept 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:46.159 that streak alive, like the whole story of No, I 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:51.199 don't think so. Well, it's twofold. Well, this definitely happened. 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:55.400 The Orioles canceled the game, said they're like the whites 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.560 didn't work at Candy and when he would have missed 0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:59.760 a game when they canceled the game rather than break 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.000 his because he was he was hurt or sick, so 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.800 they Okay, one day there's a random power outage, so 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:11.520 they funny, Okay. Some people believe that Ripken got hurt 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:18.040 beating up Kevin Costner for sleeping with his wife. What. Yes, Wow, 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.280 And I want to believe it's true because so he 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:26.240 hurt his hand on Costner's face pretty much. That's or 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:35.280 give Costner a beating because he watched under Underworld. What 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:39.160 was that movie? Water World? Water World? Because I wanted 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.679 to give him a beating after I watched that, had 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.400 he been available, like if Costner had been standing outside 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.560 the theater when everybody got out of water World, he 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.080 never would have survived it. Yeah, if you if you're 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.360 playing any game like biggest movie flop ever, water World 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.560 is like the one it's in that comes it's in 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.600 the conversation that comes to mind. Yeah, for sure, because 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:05.360 anything involved, anything involves in water is super expensive. Yeah, 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.600 the movie was awful. Who Dennis Hopper was the bad guy? Right? 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.280 I think? I don't. I don't, I don't remember. I 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:15.680 did watch. I patch jet Skis and yeah it was bad. 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.720 It was super bad, you know. And here's the other 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.040 thing about Costing always plays the same guy. He's the 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:25.080 same guy in every movie. Who I believe is Kevin Costner. 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.840 I just think he's playing himself. I think he's virtually 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.800 no range. Now Yellowstone I haven't seen, and everybody says 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.960 it's great. So I haven't seen a Bile Accounts. It's 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:39.400 really really good. Yeah, that's like that is a Costner vehicle. Um, 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.680 I believe. And unless I'm I and this is sort 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.840 of stuff, usually I get right. Uh And yeah, like 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.640 I said, Bill Accounts, that's better. But I don't know. 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:54.119 That's favorite Kevin Costner movie. Certainly not that Men Men 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.480 in Tights, because that was really well he wasn't really 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.480 like The Robins serious and who Yeah, that's right. Everyone 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.480 since fueled the dreams for me. I like Tin Cup. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.280 You ever seen Tin Cup? You know? I I've normally 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.560 I've seen all these I see all these not golf 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.560 but sports movies, but I've never seen that. You'd love it. 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.959 It's a good movie. Really. Yeah, I'm gonna give you 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:17.320 the best, I think the best Costner movie he did 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:21.360 very early in his career, and it's it's a great 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:27.720 um CIA spy thriller called No Way Out. I've seen that. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.480 Have you really been a long time? Yeah, it has 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.480 been a long time. No Way Out. As I'm pulling 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:35.280 it up right now. Nineteen eighty seven, Sean Young was 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.760 at the height of her powers at the time as 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:41.480 a love interest in this and um, it involves Costner 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:45.400 trying to chase down Uh he's a naval intelligence officer 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.840 trying to chase a Russian mole. Yeah, and it's been 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.120 a long time. Yeah, that's like one I would rent, 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.600 you know, if you're in Minnesota from video update. Yeah, 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:59.280 that's that's right. Um, the Untouchables too. Yeah, the last 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.600 the last blockbuster just closed in the last in the 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.120 last few weeks, by the way. Yeah, so I think 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.640 we're now at zero blockbusters, which is kind of sad 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.560 end of an end of an era. All right, that 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.080 was a great episode. Yeah, we're all edward on here. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.640 What are we talking about? Now? That's fine, it's it's 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.880 it's the off season. We get to we get to 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.559 talk about this stuff. And last week's Fantasy Football Weekly 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.520 had a lot of big name free agent signings. This 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.560 week is also free agent signings, but the names are 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.720 not as big. It's it's the Leftovers. It is a 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.680 little bit of the Leftovers edition. I like the way 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.720 you framed that up. Also, let me mention this, well, 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.680 we're talking to the episode right there. Yeah, you did 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.320 the Leftovers. Welcome. Um, Now I have to try to 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:45.120 remember that between now and when we posted. Speaking of episodes, 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.520 we're doing an experiment. Next week. We're going to drop 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:56.280 four Fantasy Football Weekly micro editions. What is Fantasy Football 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.600 Weekly micro you might be asking. These are five to 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.719 ten minutes long. We just drill down on one player. 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:06.159 We're using Guilloteing Leagues writer Tyler Knable. He's doing at 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.120 least the first batch. Brian, I know you want to 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.400 do some um and this is just a way to 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.560 get a little Fantasy Football weekly in your life Monday 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.000 through Friday. Yeah, and like we did to do a 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.520 deep dive on interesting players in which there's uh, there's 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.839 some you know, there's some storylines, some some some things 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.080 to talk about. I've read Tyler's work. I've edited Tyler, 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.719 Yes you have, and it didn't require too much editing. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.880 Got some chops so he does. Yeah, maybe maybe I'll 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.159 come by and to supply some pressure, give him the evil. 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.600 I like that up and com let's see what he's got, 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.240 see if he backs down from the challenge. So it's 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.440 an experiment and we welcome your feedback. You know how 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.480 to reach Brian and i I'm at Paul Charging on Twitter. 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.599 Brian is at bt XJ on Twitter, and we welcome 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.080 your feedback on that new potential format that will unfurl 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.960 next week Fantasy Football Weekly Micro. Let's talk about the 0:05:54.480 --> 0:06:00.360 notable additions from the last week of free agency. Getting 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:04.400 with Gardner Minshew the current starter for the Colts, and 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.479 depending on who they draft, they may lean on Garner 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.200 Minshew to start some series of games for much of 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.480 the season if the guy they draft is ultimately not 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.200 ready for the start of the season. Pretty much took 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.680 my talking point. That was it right there. Okay, this 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.720 is really just for super flexi leagues. Ye, Gardner Minshew. 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.960 The Colts highly likely to take a quarterback of the 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.880 third overall pick, but yes, either way you expect Minshew 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.919 to start the season. But yeah, if they end up 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.080 with one of the more polished prospects who are CJ. 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:38.640 Stroud and Bryce Young, basically you'd think Minshew would get 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.680 the first three to four games at least. But if 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:44.440 they go with a Will Levis or Anthony richardson that time, yeah, 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.440 and who knows if India gets off to a hot 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.440 start with Minshew, who's had some success in the NFL. 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.320 Granted he couldn't win games with the Eagles last year 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.680 her filling in her. He's putting up numbers, but he's 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.040 got experience. Though, if you're you know, in a super 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.200 FLEXI league, he might be startable once we have have 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.600 the schedule. But that's really it for the quarterbacks. I 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:07.839 guess real quick, we can mention Jacoby Brissette to Washington. 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.880 He'll put Sam Howell and Camp Brissetts. There's a good 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.840 chance person he'll probably start the season. He proven game manager. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.880 Washington season starts off, so he's he he might be 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.040 viable in Super flexus start the season. But that's about 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.720 it for the quarterbacks. I mean, we're still waiting on 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:29.040 Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson. Yeah, to be finalized. Cam 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.120 Newton might be coming back to No. In his mind 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.840 he has all The league has no interest in Cam Newton. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.320 We'll wait, We'll wait for further news on that one. 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.800 It's funny because you did something that I have done 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.160 as well. We forget Arizona is picking three because they're 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.560 not in the quarterback you know, so you go, Okay, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.280 the Colt We think of the Colts as having the 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.800 third pick because they're going to have the third quarterbacks. Yes, 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.280 and I've done the same thing. You're not the only 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.000 one that's done that, and would someone could jump up 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.040 in that three spot too. You never know who needs 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.560 a quarterbacks to the running back position. Brian, I want 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.520 to talk about Damien Harris to Buffalo, which I think 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.000 is a fascinating move. I'm a big fan of Damien Harris, 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:11.760 and I like, I don't want to brag, but one 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.880 of the best calls I've ever made in the history 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.920 of Fantasy Football Weekly was putting Damien Harris on the 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:22.400 fifteen touchdowns two pre seasons ago, season before last, and 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.280 now he goes to Buffalo. He played injured all of 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.320 last year and he still finished his running back twenty eight, 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.880 which Pro Football focuses running back twenty eight, which is 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:35.280 not terrible. In the previous season, healthy Damien Harris was 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:41.120 Pro Football focuses running back five five, and in his 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:45.280 four healthy games to start the season, Harris scored in 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.600 three of the four games, and he averaged sixty five 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:53.400 yards per game while yielding to Ramandri Stevenson. Now, over 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.559 the past two years, Belichick trusted Harris to handle the 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:01.839 ball twenty times inside the five yard line, and he 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:06.040 converted those twenty carries into twelve touchdowns, which is the 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.680 kind of ratio you're looking for from a power back. 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.560 So the question is now with Damian Harrison Buffalo, Devin 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.319 Singletary's gone, James Cook doesn't look like he's built for 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.040 goal line use. His quarterback is, though, So who's going 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.360 to get it's inside the five? Who do you think 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.319 is going to get the ball? Not James Cook, Not 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:28.120 James Cook, It's either Harris or or Allen. Yep, I 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:29.760 think it's gonna be I think they I think they 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.360 might want to keep some of that. The may want 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:38.400 to keep some of the mileage off of Josh Allen 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.559 and go with Damien Harris for those short touchdowns. You 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.600 gotta love in the two baked in revenge games now 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.560 against the Patriots as well. For Damian Harris's good point, 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.880 who in some ways the Patriots for considering how the 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.719 money they gave James Robinson, they kind they kind of 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.520 picked James Robinson over Damian Harris, which I do not 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.120 understand at all. Why would you do that? But the 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.120 Patriots makes so many dumb signings that you just you 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:09.040 can't They're inexplicable. We can't get through a show without 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.480 ragging on Bill Belichick as a GM. Correct, even if 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.880 you know, we know he's the real GM there. I'm 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.199 I think I'm gonna be buying Harris. I think I'm 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.440 gonna have Harris on way more teams than most people 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.439 are going to. I'll be fascinated to see where his 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.000 ADP shakes out in the coming days, as as as 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.959 the best ball community starts reacting to Damien Harrison is 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.320 his new landing spot in Buffalo. It's certainly bummed up 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.600 a little bit, but yeah, he stays healthy, he could 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.400 pay off big time, right. I mean, he's in arguably 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.079 one of the one of what are the five? For sure, 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.360 it's not even an argument five best offenses in the NFL. 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.959 He's a touchdown score. I'm interested in Damian Harris. We 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.319 mentioned Devin Singletary leaves Buffalo, he goes to Houston. What 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.360 are your thoughts on Singletary's new home. Yeah, to the Texans, 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.600 just on a one year deal. Turns twenty six in September. 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.000 Still sort of young for a running back. Twenty six, 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:03.400 You're fine, But is he any good? I don't just 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.559 three one hundred yard rushing games in four seasons with 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:12.480 the bills has missed slash uh missed. Broken tackle rate 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.440 has dropped every year since he was a rookie. Now, 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:20.920 speaking of missed tackles and broken tackles, Damien Pierce proved yes, 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:26.240 it's still Pierce is still the guy. And we've said 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:30.079 it before. The bell cow is extinct. Someone Pierce wasn't 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.000 gonna get all the touches. No running back is gonna 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.040 get all the touchedar touches. Kind of did last year, 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:35.640 but that was a that was a different that was 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.679 a different coaching staff, and Pierce will probably get rested more. So, 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.360 I'm seeing like a shift where Pierce is dropping a 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.520 little bit in single Tary is bumped up. I'm viewing 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.040 it completely the opposite. I'm buying the small dip on 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.800 Pierce and I'm just still I'm out on single Tary 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.000 like he's not a special not a special player. Some 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.199 people are saying he's a better pass catcher, but no, 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.560 Pierce Pierce is a Pierce catch. Yeah, they didn't use 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.680 him enough that way. I will say a single Tarry, 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.439 he will make his way onto the field. He is 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.959 good in pass pro He was ranked like top five 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.400 by Pro Football Focus the last three or four years so, 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.520 and not that Pierce. He's good in pass protection too, 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:14.120 But yeah, single Tarry will eat into Pierce's word. But 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.760 Pierce is still the starter. So I'm not too worried 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.680 about your Damien Pierce Shares. Don't panic too much. Last 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.160 running back. I just want to touch on it. Not 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.880 for a long time. Donte Foreman is in Chicago where 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.280 he muddies the waters a little bit. Because Foreman's a 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.880 big back straight ahead, he can plow some. He actually 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.679 broke off some long runs for Carolina last year and 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.080 had games where he looked pretty good. I'm a little 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.640 disappointed because I'd like Khalil Herbert to get a lot 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.280 of use. But I and I think Foreman. I still 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.800 think it's gonna be like two thirds Herbert, one third Foreman. 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.439 But I'm worried about the goal line. Let me throw 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.920 one more end quick too, Okay. Dernest Johnson to Jacksonville. Now, 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.880 I don't care about that. I care about Jerome Ford. 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.319 He's now left over in Cleveland. It's going to be 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.200 really in Johnson gone, Cream Hunt gone. He's back up 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.720 Nick Chubb. Ford was a good looking rookie last year 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.160 coming out of Cincinnati. A guy I was scooping up 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.800 before the drafty like than give Paul, at the time, 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.079 we thought Kareem Hunt was gonna get traded, remember that too, 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:11.360 but like a guy like man if he goes to 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.439 the Texans, like that was the spot you know you 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.959 might before that draft, before the act. Now it's it's 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:21.240 Chubb and it's Ford, and there's the rumors have kind 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.120 of died down on the trading Nick Chubb that those 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.160 were kind of swirling a little bit. But but anyway, 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.959 Jerome Ford essentially free and best ball start up dynasty leagues, 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.439 keep him on your radar. I certainly am. Let's take 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:33.839 a break and then we'll talk about some of the 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.079 wide receiver and tight end free agency moves when we 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:45.520 come back. Fantasy Football Weekly, Segment number two, Fantasy Football Weekly, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.560 Paul Charchie and Brian Johnson with you. Let's talk about 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.360 the wide receiver free agent moves, beginning with Adam Theelan 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.960 who goes to Carolina. This is first of two Carolina 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.800 moves we'll talk about. So they're a contender then because 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.719 theland wanted to you want to go to a team 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.000 that can win the Super Bowl. Super so yeah, okay, 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:06.559 well sure, all right, um, you know what we all know, 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:11.559 Adam Feeland's production dropped off massively last year. Not massively, 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.439 that's not fair. It dropped off notably. Let's go with that. 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.800 He underachieved too. He did not meet expectations last year. 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.280 Now what's a little bit unclear is how much of 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.640 it was a drop off an ability for an aging 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:29.760 wide receiver versus just like the introduction of t. J. Hockinson, 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:31.440 who got a ton of got a ton of looks, 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:35.200 and the absurd talent of Justin Jefferson, which mandates a 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.320 certain number of looks in every game. You gotta get 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.720 the ball to Justin Jefferson. He's a special player Hall 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.480 of Fame pace. So I think that parts a little 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:46.560 bit unclear about what went down last year. Obviously, the Panthers, 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.760 you know, they paid decent money for Theeeland. They think 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.520 he's got a little something left. Theeeland was middle of 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.920 the pack in next gen stats cushion and separation stats, 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:57.920 but that's about where he was the previous year, and 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.480 he had been very good the previous year. This is 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.400 what was really interesting about Feeling. Get this, he was 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:09.360 dead last in yak yards after the catch at two 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:13.440 point two yards after catch last year. Not good, No, something, 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:17.480 he's thrived at his prime correct, correct, And he was 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:22.120 negative point nine yards over expectation, which was tied for 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.640 last among wide receivers with at least sixty receptions last year. 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:30.560 So those are some statistical angles that suggest that feeling, 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.360 even taking out to Jefferson factor and the Hockinson factor, 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:40.040 feeling wasn't at the same level last season. You're not 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.240 paying as much as you were for feeling as you 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.840 were last year. But for me, I gotta see it. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.480 I gotta see the production before I buy in undrafted, 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.840 even if he's going in the tenth eleventh round, I 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.840 don't know. I think there's someone more enticing there, well, 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:59.600 not on roster. Yeah, we shouldn't laugh at the Panthers 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.520 being contenders in that division though, Well, no, that division 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.960 is bad enough that. Yeah, they're not Super Bowl contenders, 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.560 but they are potential South. They're in the tournament in 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.560 the NFC. You should have been last year. Yeah, that 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.560 division was for the taking. You know. That's gonna put 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.280 rubbing Salton. But will tell that story another time, Caroline. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:20.960 It's got the first pick in the draft. They will 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.200 take a quarterback. We don't know who will be throwing 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.240 the ball yet to Adam Feeling, but you know most 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.240 rookie quarterbacks, you know you're looking at a twenty two, 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.560 twenty five touchdown season. You know, modest production. But the 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.160 good news is Adam Theeland is wide receiver one at 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.360 least for the moment. And it might be it's probably 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.440 gonna be Andy Dalton to start. No, I don't know. 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.560 I don't know. When you've got the first pick overall, 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.040 usually that kid, that kid starts right off the bat. 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:48.920 But if it is Dalton, that's a good quarterback for 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.560 Theeling because Theeeland is not a deep threatned Dalton does 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.640 not have a deep ball. Well, that is true. Are you? 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.720 Are you more of a young or stroud guy. I'm 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.760 the Will Webvis guy just because I got money on it. 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.600 I love, I love, I love the long odds. I 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.680 don't know, I'd be shocked if they went that way. 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.800 You had a good pro day on Friday. At least 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:10.800 he threw the ball far. But you know, we knew, 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:12.720 we knew he could do that. He looks like he 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.880 and Richardson are like the the more enticing long term 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.239 prospects to me, but between sure, but I don't think 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.119 they're gonna go that way. Probably not Stroud. I don't know. 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.879 The size of Bryce Young is just starting to worry 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.680 me a little bit. But I don't want to read 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:28.760 into that. Not much. But I still think I like 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.159 Stroud a little more. Damn Okay, I like Bryce Young 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:35.560 a little Mark. It's funny Ohio State quarterbacks c J. 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.600 Strout Ohio and Alabama quarterbacks where Bryce Young went have 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.439 sucked historic So one of them or both hopefully can 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.919 break the mold for their alma maters. But I think 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.800 historically they don't pan out. All right, Let's let's keep 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.520 moving through the list of free agent wide receivers. Next up, 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.280 why don't we just stay with Carolina for a minute, 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:59.240 and mentioned the DJ Chark move to Carolina Panthers needed 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.320 some speed at theition Becaustellan's not going to bring you 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:05.000 speed at the position. Teras Marshall's no good um. DJ 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:09.399 Chark last season third in average targeted air yards at 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:14.440 fifteen and a half dark air yards. Wow. The part 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.640 that worries you was he had the fifth worst separation 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:21.040 according to next Gen Stats. Yeah, he doesn't beat you 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:22.840 on the ground with his speed, but he can go 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.280 up and get it six four, big body receiver. He'll 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.359 be certainly be a threat in the red zone. So 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.840 much for the Arris Marshall hype. That was fun for staff, 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.840 right exactly. That's dead now, I think. But let China 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.720 just hasn't you know, as it felt like when he 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:40.399 was a rookie, I was pretty excited about what he 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.520 could do in the NFL. It's look, it's it's just 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:45.920 not gonna work out. Yeah, Chark was broke out in 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.959 his second year with Jacksonville in twenty nineteen. But over 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.800 the last two years is fifteen games. Uh, combine with 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.680 the Lions and the Jaguars. Big cat guy, I guess 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.199 big cat teams. Oh yeah, Jacks, Yeah, Ryan's and now 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:03.359 this yeah, Panthers. I believe he went to LSU two. 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.840 Did he really? Tigers? Okay? So super cool. He probably 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:10.199 has like ten dogs though. Funny Brandon Cooks is now 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.520 in Dallas where he is a I would assume a 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.720 presume starter for the Cowboys. I mean, I'm assuming that's 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:22.040 the case here. Man. Did the Cowboys screw up by 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.919 giving Zeke all that money at the expense of Amari Cooper. 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:26.960 I mean, Cooper had so much left in the tank, 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.159 and he was very good for Cleveland last year. And 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:33.000 what a blunder Jerry Jones in that front office made 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.320 by giving Zeke the big money and not Cooper. And 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.480 now here we are just two years later. Zeke's off 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.960 the team, Cooper's on a different team, and they've had 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.240 to turn to the aging veteran Brandon Cooks. Yeah he 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.840 should start, though Ceedee Lamb thrives in the slot, so 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:49.320 they're really going to try to keep him in the 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:50.800 slot for the most part, I think. So it'll be 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.639 Cooks and Gallop on the outside. And even though Cooks 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:55.840 turns thirty in September, he's still got a little more 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.240 speed than Michael Gallup does, who's much younger. Cooks a 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.959 little smaller guy. But Brandon Cooks now has been traded 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.520 four times unreal ties Eric Dickerson for the most times 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:09.280 traded all time. I did not know that. Yes, I 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.359 don't know. Dickerson got traded that much, and a lot 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:13.840 of that was the end of his career. It had 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.000 to be passed around. But Cooks has goad. The weird 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:19.920 thing on Cooks is usually if you get traded this 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.680 many times, you're not very good and you're not being 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.600 very productive. Although Dickerson obviously was great in his prime. 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.840 But the thing is, he's been pretty productive at all 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.439 of his stops. Brandon Cooks has, Yeah, he's recorded one 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:36.920 thousand yard receiving seasons with four different teams. Has six 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:40.480 wild a thousand yard receiving seasons since twenty fifteen. That's 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.639 more than Stefan Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins both have had 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.040 five during that span, more than Davante Adams, more than 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:49.480 Keenan Allen both have had four. So yeah, this is 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:53.480 you know, it was a nice spot for him in 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.240 New Orleans in his rookie year back when Drew Brees 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:58.600 still sort of had an arm. But it's a good 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.640 spot for Cooks and it certainly is a help. It's 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:05.159 gonna help Ceedee Lamb, you know, shed some double coverage. 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:07.080 It's gonna help Dak Prescott, It's gonna help that whole 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:09.840 offense for sure. So Cooks, I've seen his adp rise 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:13.320 at least a couple of rounds since. Yes trade Kole 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:15.920 Hardman goes to the Jets, and the fact that the 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:19.399 Chiefs a team with no depth at receiver right now, 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.760 and arguably right now, the worst receiving cor in the 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.919 NFL is in Kansas City, the thinnest receiving corps. They 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.880 just let me Coole Hardman walk and that says plenty. 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:34.880
