<v Speaker 2>source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 2>whatever stupid stuff they decide to drop into the show. Now,

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>here's your host, Paul Chargian.

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchie, and my

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>co host, as has been the case for most of

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>these off season episodes, Brian Johnson.

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Hey charch Happy fourth of July.

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I love the fourth of July weekend.

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Do you really?

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I do.

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.839
<v Speaker 3>I had a sense we're just talking off air about it.

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.519
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, Minnesota is a very unique case. And I

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want to bore people too much Minnesota centric stuff,

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>but in Minnesota, like half the population owns a cabin

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>in the north half of Minnesota.

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Or they know La so they know someone who.

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Or knows somebody right, So much of the Twin Cities

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>just empties to the north. And I love being in

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>town where there's no traffic. The restaurants are aren't crowded,

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the movie theaters aren't crowded. Everything I want to do

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>is got less people in it.

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 3>We are in lockstep there. Love Yeah, that part is fantasic,

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 3>going up North Way too much riff raff. I just

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:13.479
<v Speaker 3>hate fireworks. I'm not like, not like the big organized ones.

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>You want to go sit in traffic and walk out

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>to the field of the brit Fine.

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>You're not interested in the in the fire cracker, the

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Roman candle.

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 3>The people across the border for those who don't know,

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 3>in Wisconsin you can buy the real deal. Well, yeah,

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 3>I hate the good stuff, especially people that are lighting

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 3>them off at two am.

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you can give out the thoughtful about that stuff.

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 1>But what if people it's ten o'clock on the fourth

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>of July, game on? I mean, that's that's your problem.

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Not there so that time they breaking the law.

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh they're not, aren't they.

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>No? I guess a lot of fireworks when you do it, those.

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 3>Things are like weapons of mass destruction.

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>And bring it on, baby. I love that stuff. I

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>love it now.

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you I don't not wait until the fifth

0:01:58.760 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 3>of July.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Here's what I don't like about fireworks. And it's the

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>only thing for me is I am one of those

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>people that mosquitoes love me. They've got my scent, I've

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>got the blood type they love and So if you're

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>outside watching some big fireworks thing, the mosquitoes find me first,

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and I can't you know, in the twenty minutes it

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:24.399
<v Speaker 1>takes to get through the whole fireworks display regimen, I've

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 1>got like forty mosquito bites. And I'm not kidding. I

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>mean just it's like every few seconds, I'm getting a bite.

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 3>I love the people that take pictures or videos of

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 3>the fireworks, like you're ever gonna go back and look

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 3>at that.

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:37.959
<v Speaker 1>It just doesn't work.

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 3>Check out the picture of this firework. You really have

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 3>to be there.

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's like concerts. It's like the people who filmed

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the concerts. It doesn't work that way.

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.519
<v Speaker 3>Just enjoy the moment with your eyeballs.

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Exactly because it's not going to translate and it won't

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 1>mean it's like one tenth is good. Later, all right,

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>let's speak of Minnesota. Yeah, hey, let's break down the

0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>off seasons and the forecasting for the NFC North and

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the AFC North.

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.519
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna close it out, right, Yeah, So we've.

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Already done all the other divisions and this is our

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>these are our last divisions to do the norths which

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>also I think that you know the key part of this,

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.359
<v Speaker 1>in addition is getting up to speed on some of

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the kiopsis moves, is really identifying the players that are

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>getting drafted wrong right now based on current ADP. And

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>let's uh, why don't we start in I don't know, Uh,

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 1>I want to do Green Bay. Uh sure, I think

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that that is you, that is me? Yeah, how about Detroit?

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we can go to Detroit.

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>To Detroit. They're they're the favored by a mile. They're

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the Vegas favorite to win.

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 3>The NFC North but wide open in my opinion. But yes,

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Detroit are the favorites. Those are the times we are

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 3>living in. It's kind of crazy. The Lions also one

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 3>of the teams with the most turnover on offense this offseason.

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 3>Major moves in their backfield. Jamal Williams last year is

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 3>leading munch down leader. Yeah, Russier gone in New Orleans now.

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 3>DeAndre Swift trade to the Eagles, So in comes David

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Montgomery to likely assume the Jamal Williams role, and they

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 3>drafted rookie Jamier Gibbs with the thirteenth overall pick for

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 3>major draft capital sunk into Gibbs, who's expected to play

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 3>this hybrid running back receiver role. I will see how

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 3>that pans out, but it's really going to be a

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 3>Montgomery with the early down work. It looks like in

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Gibbs he'll play most downs, but certainly the third down

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 3>specialist you would think coming out of the backfield at

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 3>wide receiver. DJ Shark left via free agency. Back home

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 3>comes Marvin Jones to the Lions fo year old Marvin Jones.

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Jamison Williams not really an off season move, but he

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 3>made a move with his finger on his phone in

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 3>the facility where he made a bet.

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Yep, And it wasn't even in the facility. I think

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>it was in away game hotel. It's where he plays

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the bet. And now he's out six.

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.359
<v Speaker 3>But that's considered, you know, like yeah off, you know,

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.719
<v Speaker 3>that's like a traveling team. But anyway, he'll miss the

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 3>first six games. We'll talk about the wide receiver situation

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 3>a little more in a minute or two. Lions also

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 3>drafted tight end Sam Laporta out of Iowa in the

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 3>second round. He's expected to either starting tight end going

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 3>into the season, and Hendon Hooker drafted to back up. Well,

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if he's not gonna be the initial

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 3>backup for Jared Goff, but he's he's an intriguing diynasty

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 3>Stats twenty twenty four definitely not this year. We won't

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 3>expect much from Hooker. Will the offense be better or

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 3>worse than last year? It was top top five offense

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:43.600
<v Speaker 3>last year. I'm gonna say about the same. But Jami

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 3>or Gibbs is a huge update potentially with the Jamison

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Williams suspension. Granted, he'll missed a lot of last year,

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.479
<v Speaker 3>but he came on strong at the end of the year.

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 3>You know you need eight catches THEA. But he'll miss

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 3>the first six games. But it's not gonna get any worse.

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 3>We'll put it that way. It's gonna I'll go with better,

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 3>but it's not going to get worse, even though there's

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.039
<v Speaker 3>a lot of changes on that offense. To me, the

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 3>most underdrafted player right now is David Montgomery. I agreed

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 3>at running back twenty six eighty fourth overall. I mean,

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 3>Jamal Williams seventeen touchdowns last year, and it's not like

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Montgomery's automatically slated for seventeen touchdowns.

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 1>He won't get seventeen, but he's gonna he could get

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>double digit. But even if he gets roughly half that,

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.840
<v Speaker 1>so you put him on nine, that's a touchdown every

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>other game. And then for Montgomery.

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Running back twenty six, I'll take that all day. And

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 3>Jamior Gibbs the most overdrafted to me at running back fourteen,

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 3>going forty first overall, you're getting, you know, a fifty

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 3>percent discount on Montgomery, who I suspect is going to

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.920
<v Speaker 3>score more touchdowns total, more yards.

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't well about the yard I don't agree with

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:51.359
<v Speaker 1>you on the yards at all, but I'm with you

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>on the touchdowns and Gibb. What worries me about Gibbs

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:55.719
<v Speaker 1>is there's a real path for Gibbs to have like

0:06:55.760 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>a five touchdown season like DeAndre Swift right where he's

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>not gonna get goal line work. He needs to score

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 1>from distance, which he'll do a few times. You know,

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 1>he'll he's gonna Gibbs is going to be a guy

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna roll up. It'll have a couple of long

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>runs or whatever, but he's gonna roll up what five

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>ish catches a game for forty yards. So he's gonna

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>get you like nine fantasy points right there on full

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>PPR for sure, for sure.

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 3>PPR Dings standard big ding right much. I'm with you.

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think the touchdowns are going to be

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>there for Gibbs to get all the way up to

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>be running back fourteen. But I do think that's in

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a full PPR. Running Back fourteen to me isn't far

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>off of where he should be.

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 3>No, not in full PPR. No.

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Now let's go to the Vikings off season moves that matter.

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>For the Vikings. They released Adam Thelen replaced him with

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>first round pick Jordan Addison. Theeling by many metrics, took

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 1>a big step backwards last year, including his cushion rate,

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>his separation rate, yards after catching me, just a lot

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>of things that really suggested Thelon was at the end

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>of a very good career. And then, of course they

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>released Dalvin Cook outright, and they replaced him with nobody knew,

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 1>but did resign Alexander Madison to a two year deal.

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk more about him in a few minutes. This

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>offense will trend similar to last year, when the Vikings

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 1>finished eighth in points, sixth in yards. Dalvin Cook wasn't

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>great anymore last year, but the overall running back depth

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>chart takes a step back clearly Without Dalvin Cook, the

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 1>passing game is going to miss the sure hands of feeling,

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>but they gained the big play threat of a young

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Addison, which is very exciting. Kirk Cousins will be

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.439
<v Speaker 1>thirty five this season. Maybe this is the season where

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>he starts to show his age, but we didn't see

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>really any signs of that last year. He looked very

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>much last year like the quarterback he had been for

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.839
<v Speaker 1>the past several years, and so Kirk still seems like

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 1>a very safe, bankable guy. So I think this team

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>trends about the same as last year.

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 3>Cousins isn't a guy that I'm concerned about age now.

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't feel like it doesn't like.

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 3>When we get into the his late thirties, he feels

0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.199
<v Speaker 3>like a guy w's gonna play itu ttill he's forty, Like, Yeah,

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.559
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, because he's not a mobile quarterback, so

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 3>we're not really relying on his yeah athleticism that he's

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.199
<v Speaker 3>been very reliable in his career so far.

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 1>So the most overdrafted player I think is Alexander Madison,

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 1>going off the board at running back nineteen sixty first overall,

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.679
<v Speaker 1>and he certainly enters training camp atop the depth chart

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>at the running back position. But this is way more

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.839
<v Speaker 1>of an open battle than people realize. Alexander Madison is

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 1>a lackluster runner by many different metrics. He is as

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>they say, he's a jag. He is just a guy.

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>He's got subpar vision, He's not very good laterally, he's

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a mediocre receiver. The burst is not particularly notable. There's

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things about his game that I find

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to be very, very average, and I see Madison as

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the most likely Week one starter. But if he doesn't

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 1>really produce, I think Kevin O'Connell's going to start working

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>in some of the depth chart guys like ty Chandler

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and maybe Dwayne McBride who they took late in the draft.

0:09:58.520 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 3>So I think a lot of teams are going to

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 3>me mixing in three running backs in the Vikings are

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 3>certainly one of them. Yeah, people are just assuming Madison's

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 3>is going to get the old person.

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.680
<v Speaker 1>That he's just gonna take Dalvin Cook's touches.

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 3>I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe I'm not

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 3>thinking that either.

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>The most underdrafted player related to Madison, ty Chandler, you

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>can get him basically free He's going off the board

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>at pick two oh one. He's splashed last year in

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the preseason, but couldn't get on the field ahead of

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Cook in Madison. But Cook's gone and now ty Chandler's

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the sophomore and has the potential to get a lot better.

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:40.040
<v Speaker 1>He's the best pass catcher among Viking running backs, and

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>he is a big play home run hitter. Going off

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the board at running back sixty one right now. So

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>you got a lot of opportunity with ty Chandler as

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>a last pick of your draft dart throw, and he

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 1>might just turn out to inherit that job from Alexander

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Madison at some point, maybe early in the season.

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've been drafting a lot of ty Chandler.

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about the Chicago Bears.

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.959
<v Speaker 3>Brian the Bear's a lot of moves in the office.

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 3>He's in, not a ton of exciting moves. The most

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 3>exciting move was they traded the first overall pick to

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 3>the Panthers for a package including DJ Moore, who's arguably

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 3>the best wide receiver in Bears history already.

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's a great question, actually.

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 3>Except Bernard Barry in that one year.

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Brandon, what's his Bran Mash had a couple of.

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 3>Good years, but that really hasn't been a ton to

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 3>talk about the wide receiver position, So yeah, DJ Moore

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 3>will definitely bolster that pass attack. The Bears also signed

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.199
<v Speaker 3>former panther Dante Forman, he was in part of that

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 3>that trade, to a one year deal. We mentioned David

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 3>Montgomery gone from Chicago, so he will compete for touches

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 3>with Khalil Herbert who's already in town. And the Bears

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 3>also drafted running back Roshawn Johnson out of Texas in

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 3>the fourth round. A guy we like you a lot we know,

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 3>or a good buddy. Thor loves him. Johnson backed up

0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Bjon Robinson at Texas, and if he wasn't Bijon backup,

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:02.959
<v Speaker 3>you know, played somewhere else, he might have gone a

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 3>lot higher in the draft.

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, you know, I've watched a bunch of Rochan

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Johnson in preparation for the draft, and I walked away

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot less impressed than Thor is. But Thor watches

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot more college football than I do, and so

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm willing to kind of give Thor the benefit of

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the doubt here. He thinks Rochan is just gonna bury Khalil,

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 1>but I'm an and foreman and for form if he's

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>not even this conversation. So but I'm just I don't

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 1>know if I feel as confident about that.

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, whoever ends up well for all the running backs involved.

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Another notable not move but draft pick. The Bears got

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 3>the tenth overall pick among many other picks for trading

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 3>the first overall pick, and they took offensive tackle Darnell

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Wright with that pick. So yeah, that's great for their

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 3>line and I guess it's worth mentioning tight end Robert

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Tunyan also acquired via free agency, but Cole committed the

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.319
<v Speaker 3>offense should be better this year with the addition of

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 3>DJ Moore the offensive or needs name is slipping my mind.

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 3>It's his second year, it's basically everyone's second year, and

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 3>the coach staff going in more weapons, better o line,

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 3>so the offense should be better under justin fields the

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 3>most underdrafted player by ADP. I was tempted to go

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:15.719
<v Speaker 3>with the cheapest running back, who is Forehiman. You think

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.839
<v Speaker 3>he's dust I do, I don't know I brought the reason, but.

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>They also drafted Roshan Johnson for a reason.

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm out on this entire backfield. Now, I was, I

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 3>was on the Rochan train. I was taking my chances there.

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 3>But of course he's not the clear cut starter, doesn't

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.439
<v Speaker 3>have a clear cut path. He's gonna compete with Herbert

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.320
<v Speaker 3>and for him a little bit in my mind, and

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 3>Justin Fields is gonna take some high quality touches or

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 3>carries in that offense too. So I'm out on this backfield.

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 3>So I'm gonna go wide receiver for the most underdrafted player.

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.959
<v Speaker 3>And no it's not Chase Claypool, who they're not happy with,

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:54.640
<v Speaker 3>shockingly awful trade by the way, yeah, or the last

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 3>pick in the first same thing. Yeah, awful trade. But

0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 3>it's Daryl Mooney and it's more of a best ball

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 3>angle here. But right now, at wide receiver fifty eight,

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and twenty sixth overall, he was getting drafted

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 3>inside the top twenty four wide receivers last year, people

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 3>expecting a lot of things, but the he had he

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 3>got injured almost like halfway through the year. It was

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 3>just a bad year for him. But the addition to

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 3>DJ Moore should help him rising tide with almost.

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 1>He's not a number one and he was getting number

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 1>one coverage last year. Now Moody's gonna get number two coverage.

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 1>He'll run out of the slot a lot more often.

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I think there's there's reason to think Mooney could be

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a a periodic, you know, right, matchup contributor.

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 3>He'll love, He'll love his spike weeks and yeah, he'll

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 3>be a matchup based for sure. He'll be a take

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 3>a chance on any player this season without a doubt,

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 3>and the most overdrafted player. It's tough. I'm just gonna

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 3>go with Dj Moore wide receiver twenty six. I just

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 3>looking in that range overalls. Let me pull it up

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 3>real quick.

0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna guess, like Mike Evans is in that ballpark.

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to think other guys that might be, you know,

0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>in that range.

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Christian Kirk is going after him. Brandon Nayuk were

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 3>high on him, Chris Godwin. These are all guys I'd

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 3>rather have, Jackson Smith and Jigbityle Lockett. Yes, I'd rather

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 3>have all of them over DJ Morris. He's my, excuse me,

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 3>most overdrafted bear and.

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna be He's gonna be okay. Yeah, and Justin

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Hurst Fine throws a nice deep ball, and he's gonna

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 1>have some big downfield plays justin he made justin fields,

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:25.480
<v Speaker 1>but he may not be as consistent as wide receiver

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty six would suggest. Let's move over to Green Bay.

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 1>That's our last NFC North team. The offseason moves that

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>matter really aren't very many, other than obviously you know

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>that Aaron Rodgers left and he took Randall Cobb, Alan Lazard,

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and Robert Tunyan are all gone to He took Cobb

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and the Lizard with him. The entire passing game has

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>been really revised here, including new starters at quarterback Jordan Love,

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver Jaden Reed taken in the second round that

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>was earlier than people expected. And then they drafted the

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 1>two tight ends, and this is a bit of an

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.600
<v Speaker 1>issue for fantasy owners to try to work their way

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 1>through Luke Musgraven round two and then we've assumed that

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 1>would be it than round three Tucker Craft, and really

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>both guys are capable pass catchers, and it makes this

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>thing super thorny for fantasy owners.

0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 3>E'rely reminiscent of when the Ravens took Cayden Hurst in

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 3>the first round and then Mark and I like Craft

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 3>a little more than than must grade. I know you

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 3>might get into that later.

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I do like Craft, and I'm not gonna get into that.

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 3>He's the more like he's the pass catcher, like he

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 3>doesn't block. So that's what we love, the fantasy football

0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 3>must graves like the more well rounded. Right, So yep?

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Is this gonna often? Is this offense gonna be worse

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>or better than last year? I really struggled with this.

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I think they're gonna be a little better, even even

0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 1>with the downgrade presumed downgrade from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love.

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.280
<v Speaker 1>But Aaron Rodgers wasn't playing that well.

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 3>I love the Packers this year. I know this is

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.680
<v Speaker 3>gonna anger our Minnesota base but this isn't This is

0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 3>not reality football.

0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Just they're all so cheap they are.

0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 3>And I just I think Love is going to shock

0:16:58.480 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people. I don't know.

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 1>And see, Yeah, we've talked about this before. I watched

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Love's one full game from two seasons ago, and

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>he was awful. But there were a lot of things

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 1>working against him in that he didn't know he was

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 1>going to start until Friday, wasn't taking first team reps.

0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, there were lots of things that went wrong

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>with that game. I think Love's going to be okay,

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and we'll talk more about parts of this, you know,

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>parts of this offense here in a minute or two.

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about the most overdrafted player. And I really

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.159
<v Speaker 1>struggled with this. I think mostly all the packers that

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 1>can be had cheaply right now. So I just went

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 1>with basically the first wider, the first player being taken,

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's Christian Watson.

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, well, I guess he is good before Aaron Jones,

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:38.359
<v Speaker 3>which is.

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he is. He's going at wide receiver nineteen, pick

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight, and I'm intrigued by his upside, right, So

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.159
<v Speaker 1>the problem for me is not Christian Watson, it's the ADP.

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>There's no discount being built into his ADP, despite the

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.720
<v Speaker 1>fact that he's got the change of quarterback and so

0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:00.880
<v Speaker 1>much of his production coming on so few plays. Does

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:05.120
<v Speaker 1>let me ask you this, Brian, does any player in

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>all of Fantasy football this year have more upside and

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 1>downside than Christian Watson?

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 3>Probably? But he's in He's in the top five.

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, we're extrapolating forty one catches from

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>last year. His rookiear forty one in which he managed

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to score nine times. And it's gotta be there's nine

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>nine times, there's nine time?

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Hey another movie?

0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, you know so, uh yeah it was. It

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.359
<v Speaker 1>was seven catches and two rushing touchdowns. I believe.

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 3>So he don't forget. Yeah, I know you remember Week

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 3>one against the very first offense that's off to eighty

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.120
<v Speaker 3>yard touchdown. That's right, that was right in the red basket.

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 3>You know nine.

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.879
<v Speaker 1>You know, his nine scores came in a four game stretch.

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean we're extrapolating, like for you for wide receiver

0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 1>nineteen to make sense for Christian Watson. You're really taking

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 1>that four game stretch and going, well, I'm going to

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 1>bank on something like that happening for a lot of

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.120
<v Speaker 1>this season. And I don't know if that's I don't

0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>know if that's fair to say. Jordan Love might suck.

0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe he gets better as a sophomore, or

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe he doesn't. He did not. Christian Watson does not

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 1>look like a route running technician, Brian. He just doesn't.

0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 3>To me.

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.199
<v Speaker 1>He looks like a guy who just runs fast and

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.919
<v Speaker 1>gets open sometimes. And you know that, can you know

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>that can do things in the NFL, but it doesn't

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.200
<v Speaker 1>do it regularly and by the and then factor in

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the injury stuff from his rookie as well, so.

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 3>He got his you know, his bell rung a couple

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 3>of times, pretty good miss games with concussions issues are.

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Right, So Christian Watson, if you want to bank, if

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you want to risk Christian Watson, totally cool with that.

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Just know you're not getting him a discount. And then

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.640
<v Speaker 1>the underdrafted player, you got a couple of good options.

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Jaden Reid is go off the board, is wide receiver

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:58.240
<v Speaker 1>seventy one, so you can get him very very late,

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:04.359
<v Speaker 1>and he was a second or Romeo Dobbs didn't do

0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:07.320
<v Speaker 1>very much last year, but he's been the darling of

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:10.359
<v Speaker 1>OTAs in mini camps. You could bank on him having

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 1>a better sophomore season, which is very possible. So you know,

0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.159
<v Speaker 1>one of either one of those guys. Dobbs cost a

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit more, but not much. So those are the

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.240
<v Speaker 1>guys that I think makes sense as underdrafted players. I

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:30.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think there's a lot of receiving production that there's

0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of receiving production up for grabs in this offense.

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>And both Reid and Dobbs are possible guys for that.

0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a quick break, Brian. When we come back,

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:42.120
<v Speaker 1>let's turn our attention to the AFC North and find

<v Speaker 1>can do that at Guillotine leagues dot com. Let's talk

0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:55.159
<v Speaker 1>about the NFC AFC North.

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 3>How about we start with the Bengals. Do what Yeah,

0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.720
<v Speaker 3>the favorites, Yeah, they are the favorites. Off off season

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 3>moves that matter. Long time backup running back Sama J.

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 3>P Ryan signed with Denver and the only notable notable

0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:11.359
<v Speaker 3>addition to the backfield so far was drafting Chase Brown

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:13.639
<v Speaker 3>out of Illinois in the fifth round. We'll talk about

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:16.680
<v Speaker 3>that a little more in a minute or two. Tight

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 3>End Hayden Hurst left for Carolina. He was replaced by

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 3>IRV Smith on a one year proved deal. If Irv

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 3>can I stay healthy, yeah, I know. And really people

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 3>get exit like tight ends just they don't really need

0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:33.960
<v Speaker 3>it in uh Cincinnati, they got enough wide receivers there

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.159
<v Speaker 3>to I don't know. Tight ends haven't done anything in

0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Cincinnati since Tyler Eifert and that was many, many years ago,

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 3>and that was only for like a year or two.

0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 3>But not too excited about IRV Smith. But you can

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 3>get him on the cheap if you willing, if you're

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 3>willing to go there. At lastly, the Bengals added to

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:54.119
<v Speaker 3>that wide receiver room. I dis mentioned drafting Charlie Jones

0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:59.359
<v Speaker 3>and andre Io sevus Io. I don't know iOS I

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:02.960
<v Speaker 3>v a Io Savas. He's a little intriguing. They're both

0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:10.920
<v Speaker 3>intriguing dynasty stashes. Andre out of Princeton, I believe six ' four,

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 3>like two twenties. He's an intriguing prospect. But you know

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 3>he's playing at Princeton, so he was right. The competition

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.879
<v Speaker 3>wasn't great, But again those are just late round dynasty stashes.

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Will the offense be better or worse than last year?

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Gotta go with better. Jamar Chase missed significant called significant

0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:30.439
<v Speaker 3>time five six games last year, he says healthy. I

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 3>know there's Joe Mixon, is I think as we speak

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 3>having some legal proceedings going on with his We won't

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:38.159
<v Speaker 3>get into this.

0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:40.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's the storyline of Joe Mixon to me,

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 1>is like, unless there was an undisclosed injury of real

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:48.239
<v Speaker 1>significance to Joe Mixon, dude doesn't have it anymore. You know,

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the end for running backs comes fast. Why they didn't

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>do more to backfill his position to me is mysterious,

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and maybe they have more confidence in him and they

0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 1>know why he didn't look good. But just the eye

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:03.400
<v Speaker 1>test line to your Brian, Joe Mixon looked plotting.

0:24:03.960 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 3>As of right now, he is the starter. He's not

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 3>my most Well, we'll get to my most overdrafted player

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 3>in manteal sort of my most underdrafted player. This is

0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:15.000
<v Speaker 3>hard because you know you're not gonna say Jamar Chase

0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:18.160
<v Speaker 3>is underdrafted, or you can't.

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Because he's like third off the board.

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:22.320
<v Speaker 3>They all seem to be going in the right spot.

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 3>But I'm on with Joe Burrow. I mean, he's not

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 3>going late, but he's going to his quarterback five forty

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:33.120
<v Speaker 3>fifth overall, significantly later than the big three Josh Allen,

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, and Lamar Jackson. But he shouldn't

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:41.399
<v Speaker 3>been going three rounds later than the big three, in

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:43.320
<v Speaker 3>a round later than l Jackson. He was one of

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:47.119
<v Speaker 3>three quarterbacks with at least six games with three plus

0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 3>passing touchdowns last season. He was on his way to

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:52.760
<v Speaker 3>the seventh game YEA. In that Bengals game, they opened

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:54.960
<v Speaker 3>it with a touchdown to T Higgins, which had taken

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 3>off the board, as did the whole game, so he

0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:00.440
<v Speaker 3>lost a game there. Do you remember how man rushing

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:07.639
<v Speaker 3>touchdowns burrowhead last year? I won't take a guess, three, five, fourth,

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Most of them quarterbacks. They don't want him to run,

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 3>that's all. He got hurt a couple of years ago.

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 3>But he can. Yeah, and I just think his instinct

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 3>takes over for him and he takes off if he.

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Feels another year off that acl He's still young, so

0:25:19.160 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna have a little bit of mobility.

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 3>They're not gonna like bootleg him from the Novalve, but

0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 3>if needed, he's he can do it. He's mobile, that's

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:28.600
<v Speaker 3>for sure. So I went with Joe Burrow and my

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:33.120
<v Speaker 3>most overdrafted player. I wasn't gonna go mixing RB fifteen.

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:35.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't know he's he's not in his prime. I

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:37.720
<v Speaker 3>agree with you there. I don't know if he's fully cooked,

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:42.040
<v Speaker 3>but he appears like he's gonna be the starting running back,

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.040
<v Speaker 3>So I'm okay with where he's at right now.

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Joe Mixon could get to RB fifteen. I think Brian

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 1>just by being the starting running back for the Cincinnati Banks.

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 3>Right and if he he might rekindle some of his

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 3>good years. Who knows well, but he's not. He's not

0:25:57.359 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 3>overdrafted in my mind where he's going right now. So

0:25:59.640 --> 0:26:01.680
<v Speaker 3>I went with Chase Brown. I mean, he's going late

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 3>RB fifty nine, pick one two, But I don't know

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:08.280
<v Speaker 3>the Bengals as of right now, we still haven't had

0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:11.359
<v Speaker 3>any of these big free agent running backs. Final it's weird.

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Zeke still out there, Koreans still out there, Alvin Coarnett,

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Dalvin Cook. Farnett's never playing again.

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:18.879
<v Speaker 3>I don't you think so. Nope, done. I don't know.

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Nobody wants them.

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Everybody's in pretty good shape, but everyone wants But I

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 3>don't know. I just don't bite into Chase Brown being

0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:28.000
<v Speaker 3>the number two or just being the guy. If something

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:30.680
<v Speaker 3>would happen to mix and someone's coming to town, and

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 3>so I'm just not that you're the one hundred and

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:35.399
<v Speaker 3>ninety second overall pick. It's not the end of the

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:37.200
<v Speaker 3>world you take Chase Brown. But I just I think

0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 3>there's something better, a better player you can draft with

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:40.720
<v Speaker 3>that spot.

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Cleveland Browns. The offseason moves that matter.

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:46.560
<v Speaker 1>They added wide receiver Elijah Moore, who was on the

0:26:46.560 --> 0:26:48.560
<v Speaker 1>outs with the Jets, and they had Jets and invested

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:51.639
<v Speaker 1>in other players at wide receiver. He likely starts as

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:54.399
<v Speaker 1>the slot receiver, and they also added rookie receiver Cedric

0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:57.679
<v Speaker 1>Tillman in the third round they lost. That was the

0:26:57.680 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 1>only ads of note really.

0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Quickly on Eliza or who I It was one of

0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.040
<v Speaker 3>the best touchdown celebrations ever and he got flagged for

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:07.280
<v Speaker 3>it in college when he did the dog you know,

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 3>he like lifted up his leg.

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah, that's right.

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:12.119
<v Speaker 3>But he can do that now because he's he'll be

0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:16.320
<v Speaker 3>like in the dog pound, so he shouldn't get flagged

0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:17.800
<v Speaker 3>like that beeing like a dog.

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:22.880
<v Speaker 1>So just recognizing the fan base exactly. They lost quarterback

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Jacoby Brissett, they lost running back Kareem Hunt, running back

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Deerness Johnson, and replaced those runners with nobody. Jerome Ford

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:36.400
<v Speaker 1>is your backup to Nick Chubb and Chubb without Dearness Johnson,

0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 1>without Kareem Hunt, Chubb could be sitting on a career

0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:41.840
<v Speaker 1>high in total touches for any one season that he's

0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 1>had so far.

0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Ford will work in. Ford has gone pre draft his

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:48.400
<v Speaker 3>ADP free.

0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Now he's running back fifty.

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:54.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's going like he's cracking. He's pushing the top

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:55.399
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and fifty.

0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's going after the word right now, one sixty

0:27:57.240 --> 0:27:59.680
<v Speaker 1>as a matter of fact. And he's my most underdrafted player.

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 1>So it'll get right to that. Right now, you get

0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the undisputed backup to Nick Chubb. When you draft Jerome Ford,

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb typically gets dinged up for you know, at

0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 1>least a few games, and he probably gets mixed in

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:14.119
<v Speaker 1>in a Kareem Hunt like role this year. Now, Jerome

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Ford only had eight rushes last year as a rookie.

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:19.560
<v Speaker 1>He was the team's primary kick returner, so he got

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:22.360
<v Speaker 1>some action there. So I went and looked at more

0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 1>of what Jerome Ford did.

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:25.040
<v Speaker 3>In college Cincinnati.

0:28:25.119 --> 0:28:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Right Cincinnati, that's exactly right where he set the all

0:28:28.040 --> 0:28:32.480
<v Speaker 1>time Cincinnati record with nineteen touchdowns in his senior year. Now,

0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 1>he'd started his college career at Alabama, couldn't get on

0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the field, which is understandable there, so goes to Cincinnati

0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and all he does is lead the acc and rushing,

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:43.360
<v Speaker 1>so you know, the kids got a little something and

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 1>he can catch a bit. He had twenty one receptions

0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:48.960
<v Speaker 1>as a senior and you don't handle kick return duties

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 1>unless you've got some hands. So Jerome Ford, I think

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>walks into that. Kareem Hunt roll and Kareem Hunt over

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the last few years is generally taken off the board.

0:28:57.280 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 1>It like running back thirty five awards, running back fifty.

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I loved Ford. I was drafting him a lot

0:29:03.800 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 3>prior to the NFL Draft last year, looking at his

0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 3>skill set in college, and it was just a brutal

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:11.040
<v Speaker 3>landing spot last year in Cleveland. Yes, he was just

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:15.120
<v Speaker 3>buried behind three other guys. But now, yeah, I'm there's

0:29:15.240 --> 0:29:17.960
<v Speaker 3>no other without a question, the most underd drafted player.

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 3>Still know he's surging. It's still he's still too cheap.

0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Jerome Ford, but just running style, compact runner. He's a

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:26.240
<v Speaker 1>little shorter, with what I found to be a very

0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>gritty running style and really good footwork. The footwork is

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that I really liked watching him at Cincinnati.

0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:35.520
<v Speaker 1>This offense probably gets a little better because of the

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 1>presumed improvement of Deshaun Watson, even though Watson was in

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:44.880
<v Speaker 1>every category of statistical downgrade from Jacoby Brissette, who was

0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 1>better for the first half of those games. I think

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 1>it was week eleven or twelve where I was twelve

0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 1>where Deshaun Watson took over, and the Browns continue to

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:54.960
<v Speaker 1>have arguably the best offensive line in the league. So

0:29:55.200 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 1>you know that is all great.

0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 3>That's all.

0:29:56.680 --> 0:30:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll note this Browns have the easiest schedule in the NFL,

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 1>so that will help. Based on last year's win percentage,

0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the most overdrafted player to me Deshaun Watson going off

0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the board at quarterback nine eighty second. Overall, there's just

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:14.959
<v Speaker 1>not enough value baked into his ADP to offset the

0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:18.840
<v Speaker 1>lackluster six games he played last year and his whole

0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 1>year away from the game in twenty twenty one. And sure,

0:30:22.880 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I get it. He was a top five fantasy quarterback

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:31.760
<v Speaker 1>in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, and twenty twenty. Man, that

0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:34.040
<v Speaker 1>feels like a long time ago, Brian, Yeah, that was

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:37.360
<v Speaker 1>a long time ago. So here is Deshaun Watson in

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:42.680
<v Speaker 1>year seven of his NFL career, seven, mind you, And

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 1>what if after seven years he's lost some of his

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:50.320
<v Speaker 1>rushing prowess. Because the way that Deshaun Watson was getting

0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:52.880
<v Speaker 1>into the top five in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen to

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:56.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty was because of his running if he's not

0:30:56.400 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 1>a dual threat quarterback, if you're just relying on his

0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 1>arm in those years twenty eighteen to twenty, in twenty

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 1>eighteen to twenty twenty two, so you know a twenty

0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:08.400
<v Speaker 1>eighteen to twenty twenty in those years he passed for

0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:11.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty six touchdowns, twenty six touchdowns and thirty three touchdowns.

0:31:11.520 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Those are David Carr numbers. So ask yourself for this

0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:18.120
<v Speaker 1>in year seven, are you sure Deshaun Watson is a

0:31:18.400 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 1>mobile quarterback who's gonna get designed rushing plays from Kevin

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Stefanski who has no history of doing that. Now, granted

0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have hasn't had that kind of quarterback, but do

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 1>you know he's gonna get the rushing designed rushing usage

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 1>that makes Deshaun Watson the ninth best quarterback in Fantasy football?

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's uh, that price is too steep. I'd gladly wait. Basically,

0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:45.600
<v Speaker 3>you can wait two rounds and get a Kirk Cousins,

0:31:45.680 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 3>Daniel Jones, Gino Smith. Yep, take them two rounds later.

0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 3>All day long, we'll be tailor to Deshaun Watson.

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Baltimore.

0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:59.360
<v Speaker 3>The more all right off season moves that matter, Todd,

0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 3>don't call me Art. Monkin replaces Greg Roman as offensive coordinator,

0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 3>which is huge because Roman was run heavy. Todd Munkin's

0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 3>an air raid disciple type guy, so we can expect

0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 3>a lot more passing in Baltimore or something that we

0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 3>basically never seen since they moved from Cleveland. The teams

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:20.640
<v Speaker 3>like they've always been a very run heavy team, so

0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:25.719
<v Speaker 3>should be exciting to see what newly acquired wide receiver

0:32:25.760 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 3>Odell Beckham Junior can do. Signed a one year deal,

0:32:30.320 --> 0:32:32.720
<v Speaker 3>A massive one year deal, by the way, like fifteen

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:36.360
<v Speaker 3>million dollars. A lot of money sunk into OBJ. We'll

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 3>see how much getter he has left in the tank.

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:42.040
<v Speaker 3>And they also signed Nelson Aguilar. I'll make a quick

0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 3>mention of that, but he's easily fought off it on

0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:49.400
<v Speaker 3>the depth chart. Baltimore also drafted wide receivers A Flowers

0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 3>with the twenty second overall pick. He figures to work

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 3>out at the slot for the most part, with Beckham

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:59.440
<v Speaker 3>and Rashad Bateman working the outside. Will the offense be better

0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:03.080
<v Speaker 3>or worse than Land last year? Gotta go with better. JK.

0:33:03.200 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Dobbins will be two years removed from major knee injury.

0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 3>We'll talk about him a little more in a second.

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 3>And again, Todd, Todd Mounkin should just you know, it

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:15.320
<v Speaker 3>should be more diverse offense, more passing. Uh So for

0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:17.920
<v Speaker 3>fantasy purposes, we're gonna go with better. Yep.

0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:20.840
<v Speaker 1>So the projection that question, I think that in my

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 1>mind is all right. So is Lamar Jackson going to

0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>get as many rushes? You know, because that was a

0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 1>staple of Great Romans offense, And credit Great Roman for

0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 1>unlocking that by making all these designed running plays for

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:36.480
<v Speaker 1>his quarterback when nobody was doing that. But I don't

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm worried that Jackson's going to take a step back

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 1>in the in terms of the designed running place.

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm with you there, probably won't be in as

0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:48.080
<v Speaker 3>many designed running plays, but he'll still get his unbroken plays.

0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:50.560
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, he's gotten he's gotten hurt in the past

0:33:50.600 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 3>couple of years, and uh now.

0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 1>They got a massive financial investment that they need to

0:33:54.520 --> 0:33:55.040
<v Speaker 1>keep healthy.

0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I'm with you there. But again, if he

0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 3>makes up for it with him extra ten passing touchdowns

0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:05.120
<v Speaker 3>will take that over losing a couple hundred rushing yards

0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:07.880
<v Speaker 3>and a couple of rushing touchdowns. My most underdrafted player.

0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:11.399
<v Speaker 3>We've talked about him a lot. JK. Dobbins running back

0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:15.399
<v Speaker 3>eighteen fifty seventh overall just just seems way too late.

0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:17.840
<v Speaker 3>We were talking about Jamior Gibbs earlier going off the

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:21.080
<v Speaker 3>board a running back fourteen. I prefer Dobbins all day

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:24.480
<v Speaker 3>over Gibbs this year in any format, even even full PPR.

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 3>So you gotta love Dobbins prospects two years removed from

0:34:29.560 --> 0:34:33.080
<v Speaker 3>the ACL or MCL. I can't recall which cl it was,

0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 3>but he looked good towards the end of last year,

0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:39.960
<v Speaker 3>even though they weren't giving him the ball enough really,

0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 3>and he was upset about that. So hopefully that squeaky

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:45.959
<v Speaker 3>wheel carries over into this season and well his.

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:49.360
<v Speaker 1>New squeaky wheels. JK. Dobbins wants to get paid, Like, dude,

0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you haven't done anything in two years. You've got hurt

0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and then you played hurt and you've not done anything.

0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:55.279
<v Speaker 1>Shut up and go play on the last year of

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 1>your deal.

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:58.439
<v Speaker 3>Well, hopefully you'll prove it. I think he will that. Yeah,

0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:00.799
<v Speaker 3>well it's tough for any going back to get paid

0:35:00.840 --> 0:35:04.759
<v Speaker 3>these days, right, but it is. I'm I'm essentially all

0:35:04.800 --> 0:35:07.600
<v Speaker 3>in on Dobbin's at this price I've I've been drafted

0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:10.000
<v Speaker 3>with Tona just seems like too much of a value

0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:10.359
<v Speaker 3>right now.

0:35:10.400 --> 0:35:12.440
<v Speaker 1>And I think and by the way, I always I

0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:15.600
<v Speaker 1>always throw Gus Edwards, inject Gus Edwards into these conversations

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:19.440
<v Speaker 1>whenever I can. Also coming off the year off of

0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 1>a c L he's free.

0:35:21.320 --> 0:35:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's free, and.

0:35:22.840 --> 0:35:24.960
<v Speaker 1>You can you know, and I still think he's there's

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:25.799
<v Speaker 1>there's something there.

0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:31.040
<v Speaker 3>He's underdrafted. Really, almost everyone is underdrafted on Baltimore. I

0:35:31.440 --> 0:35:34.439
<v Speaker 3>don't really have an overdrafted player. I guess you kind

0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:37.360
<v Speaker 3>of talked me into Lamar Jackson because I was just

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 3>saying Joe Burrow was going underdrafted. He's going after Jackson.

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:44.320
<v Speaker 3>But I still love Lamar, But yeah, the design running

0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:47.840
<v Speaker 3>probably does come down. I wanted to go with Odell Beckham,

0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:50.520
<v Speaker 3>but he's not going like in the third, fourth round.

0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:54.279
<v Speaker 1>He's people are being rational on where they're taking back up.

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and all the wide receivers or the other two

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:01.799
<v Speaker 3>Bateman and Zay Flowers before round nine, so they're they're

0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:04.520
<v Speaker 3>at the value you're not gonna argue against where Mark

0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:10.799
<v Speaker 3>Andrews is getting drafted. Isaiah Isaya likely was an underdrafted

0:36:10.840 --> 0:36:12.759
<v Speaker 3>candidate too. He's going way too late if something were

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:15.399
<v Speaker 3>to happen to Andrews. I mean, he's gonna play wide

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:16.719
<v Speaker 3>receiver too, even man now.

0:36:16.840 --> 0:36:19.360
<v Speaker 1>But the problem is they Zay Flowers is going to

0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:22.080
<v Speaker 1>is going to work out of the slot a lot,

0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:24.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's where I wanted Isaiah likely to be a

0:36:24.000 --> 0:36:24.760
<v Speaker 1>stand up slot.

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:27.560
<v Speaker 3>But uh, he's certainly not overdrafted. So again, really, no

0:36:27.600 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 3>one is getting overdrafted for Baltimore. So I'll go with

0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 3>the most expensive guy, and that's Lamar Jackson.

0:36:33.080 --> 0:36:35.319
<v Speaker 1>It is, although I think Mark Andrews could be going

0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:37.400
<v Speaker 1>ahead him in some leagues. He isn't guillotine leagues.

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, in one quarter battle the guillotine leagues, is.

0:36:41.520 --> 0:36:44.280
<v Speaker 1>He Yeah, well yeah, Andrews X is going the second

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:47.239
<v Speaker 1>round of guillotine leagues because people have figured out you

0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:49.879
<v Speaker 1>have to have a tight ended well Andrews is going

0:36:49.880 --> 0:36:51.080
<v Speaker 1>before Jackson.

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:54.640
<v Speaker 3>And that's one quarterback league. Step two, non guillotine.

0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:57.839
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Pittsburgh. The offseason moves that matter are

0:36:57.840 --> 0:37:01.560
<v Speaker 1>basically none because they did virtually nothing, and adding Alan

0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Robinson does not count. Heay does not count. Dude is

0:37:06.360 --> 0:37:07.400
<v Speaker 1>so done.

0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:07.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm not.

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I will say they put a first rounder in the

0:37:10.480 --> 0:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>offensive line, which is awesome, Broderick Jones. And they also

0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:18.520
<v Speaker 1>added longtime Eagles guard I excuse me, Isaac Sayumalo, So

0:37:18.600 --> 0:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that was a very nice gain for them. So I

0:37:21.120 --> 0:37:23.799
<v Speaker 1>like what their offensive line, which we've we've dumped on

0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the Steers offensive line for like three years now, it

0:37:26.560 --> 0:37:30.120
<v Speaker 1>looks like it's finally been addressed to the point where

0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:33.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not this massive, glaring negative. So I think the

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:36.799
<v Speaker 1>offense will almost certainly get better because they ranked twenty

0:37:36.840 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 1>thirteen yards and twenty sixth and points last year, so

0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I feel like they had almost nowhere to go but up.

0:37:41.320 --> 0:37:45.800
<v Speaker 1>And Kenny Pickett total wild card here. I did not

0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:48.640
<v Speaker 1>like almost anything I saw from last year. How do

0:37:48.680 --> 0:37:51.839
<v Speaker 1>you get seven passing touchdowns in fourteen games in this

0:37:52.040 --> 0:37:56.800
<v Speaker 1>in this version of the NFL that is leather helmet

0:37:57.280 --> 0:38:02.560
<v Speaker 1>style production from Kenny Pickett. You figure, though he'll regress

0:38:02.640 --> 0:38:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the mean and touchdowns and some touchdowns that come along.

0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:07.560
<v Speaker 1>And but I also didn't like his his yards per

0:38:07.560 --> 0:38:11.400
<v Speaker 1>attempt second shortest in the league. That's not good. We

0:38:11.480 --> 0:38:18.000
<v Speaker 1>need downfield passing. The most underdrafted player by ADP George Pickens.

0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm really intrigued here, Brian wide receiver forty seventy fifth

0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:27.080
<v Speaker 1>off the board. Who's the who is the most talented

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:30.680
<v Speaker 1>receiver on this team? Is it clearly Deontay Johnson going

0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:33.439
<v Speaker 1>at wide receiver thirty one? I don't think so. George

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Pickens in You're two. He had eight hundred yards as

0:38:35.520 --> 0:38:38.399
<v Speaker 1>a rookie, and Deontay Johnson just is not a wide

0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:41.240
<v Speaker 1>receiver one. He is not a He is not built

0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to be the focal point of a passing game. This

0:38:45.040 --> 0:38:48.160
<v Speaker 1>team wants and needs George Pickens to be that guy.

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:52.399
<v Speaker 1>His twenty six percent air yard share was huge because

0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:55.080
<v Speaker 1>there's no other downfield threats on this team. When they

0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:57.319
<v Speaker 1>want to go downfield, they gotta go to Pickens. He

0:38:57.360 --> 0:39:00.279
<v Speaker 1>had those incredible highlight catches you saw last year. I

0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:04.240
<v Speaker 1>mean that's not fluky stuff. Pickens has crazy catch radius

0:39:04.280 --> 0:39:07.120
<v Speaker 1>and hands. He's already one of the best contested receivers

0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:10.000
<v Speaker 1>in the league. Also an elite run blocker, which does

0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:11.719
<v Speaker 1>not equal fantasy points, but it does keep you on

0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the field.

0:39:12.160 --> 0:39:15.960
<v Speaker 3>And for those who don't know, Pickens was a rookie

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:20.319
<v Speaker 3>last year, could have been the first rookie or first

0:39:20.320 --> 0:39:22.759
<v Speaker 3>wide receiver taken in last year's draft, but he got

0:39:22.840 --> 0:39:26.879
<v Speaker 3>hurt in like spring ball at Georgia, and he came

0:39:26.920 --> 0:39:29.320
<v Speaker 3>back for like the National championship game. So he essentially

0:39:29.360 --> 0:39:33.040
<v Speaker 3>missed his whole senior year. But he'll be fully healthy

0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:33.799
<v Speaker 3>going into this year.

0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:36.000
<v Speaker 1>So let me ask you this, ask you this, and

0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:39.200
<v Speaker 1>so Kenny Pickett had seven passing touchdowns last year. Let's

0:39:39.200 --> 0:39:42.120
<v Speaker 1>say Kenny Pickett gets twenty, which is still awful by

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the NFL standards. Well, let's just say he gets twenty touchdowns.

0:39:46.040 --> 0:39:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Deontae Johnson at zero last year. How many of those

0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:51.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty go to go to George Pickens?

0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 3>At least a third of them?

0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean this, he's sitting on eight ten touchdowns almost automatically.

0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 3>Eight or ten, but six or seven I think'll take

0:40:03.120 --> 0:40:04.399
<v Speaker 3>that with a thousand yards, I think.

0:40:04.400 --> 0:40:08.360
<v Speaker 1>So the most overdrafted player by you know, and you

0:40:08.360 --> 0:40:10.520
<v Speaker 1>can tell by the way I'm talking about it, Deontay Johnson,

0:40:10.520 --> 0:40:12.520
<v Speaker 1>And I know that he's coming off of zero touchdowns

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:16.319
<v Speaker 1>seasons here like where was this last year? But it's

0:40:16.400 --> 0:40:18.200
<v Speaker 1>he's just not the dude. And of course he's gonna

0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:22.359
<v Speaker 1>not score zero touchdowns this year. But everybody there's all

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the fantasy experts Brian are going one hundred and forty

0:40:24.640 --> 0:40:26.480
<v Speaker 1>four targets and zero touchdowns. Man, when he has one

0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty four targets next year, you know that

0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:32.160
<v Speaker 1>numbers could be eight touchdowns. He's gonna regress to the mean. Well,

0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 1>guess what he ain' getting a hundred forty four targets

0:40:34.040 --> 0:40:34.399
<v Speaker 1>this year?

0:40:34.480 --> 0:40:34.920
<v Speaker 3>Probably not.

0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Deontay Johnson is not the number one receiver in Pittsburgh.

0:40:39.880 --> 0:40:44.480
<v Speaker 1>It's George Pickens. Deontay Johnson is the short These short

0:40:44.600 --> 0:40:49.880
<v Speaker 1>passes don't equal fantasy points. I see his targets here

0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:55.120
<v Speaker 1>dropping massively. Johnson reminds me of Jarvis Landry, an annual

0:40:55.280 --> 0:41:00.040
<v Speaker 1>fantasy disappointment because of his painfully low air yards. And

0:41:00.320 --> 0:41:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Johnson was sixtieth in a dot among wide receivers, fifty

0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:09.919
<v Speaker 1>third in yards per route run. He just doesn't get

0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:12.239
<v Speaker 1>the ball down field. And that's what you need out

0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:15.799
<v Speaker 1>of your fantasy wide receivers. Deandrey Johnson's dead to us.

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:19.919
<v Speaker 3>Alan Robinson not dead to me. And when I say

0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:22.799
<v Speaker 3>that he's a last round start throw these days, but

0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:26.319
<v Speaker 3>he was getting open last year. Matthew Stafford was not

0:41:26.440 --> 0:41:28.480
<v Speaker 3>throwing to him. For whatever reason, play.

0:41:28.280 --> 0:41:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Had Cooper Cup, he got hurt, two got hurt, hibout

0:41:31.239 --> 0:41:31.799
<v Speaker 1>the same time.

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:36.279
<v Speaker 3>So Alan Robinson not dust yet, sadly, can you pick

0:41:36.280 --> 0:41:38.279
<v Speaker 3>it might be the best quarterback he's played with because

0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:39.880
<v Speaker 3>he didn't really get to play with Matt Stafford a

0:41:39.880 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 3>whole lot last year. Staff was hurt.

0:41:42.480 --> 0:41:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Just but here's the thing. The Rams need another receiver

0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and they let they let him walk. They got him

0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:49.799
<v Speaker 1>out of his contract so he could go elsewhere. They

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:53.200
<v Speaker 1>should have they would have kept him because after Cooper Cup,

0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:55.520
<v Speaker 1>that depth chart falls apart in Los Angeles.

0:41:55.600 --> 0:42:00.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're also you know, they're like quiet rebuilding, like

0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:04.239
<v Speaker 3>quiet quitting, quiet rebuilding. My mind, I don't know that's

0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:06.160
<v Speaker 3>they need to get rid of Al Minnesota.

0:42:06.320 --> 0:42:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I say the Vikings are doing a unspoken rebuild,

0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:13.920
<v Speaker 1>which I believe they are right now. Thanks for listening, everybody.
