Speaker 1: an unanticipated health issue was discovered during his physical and
Speaker 1: Nicks and Bullock reworked the deal, and talks between Miami
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma City regarding Chris Paul have reportedly hit his stance.

Speaker 1: into that a little bit later on here in the show,
Speaker 1: the Madden ratings, the the response of Keenan Allen. Of course,
Speaker 1: we get into that Gronkt chance of returning. I don't
Speaker 1: know how they come up with these percentages here, but
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Gronk and you know, whether or not
Speaker 1: take a fire on them late in your drafts. Maybe,
Speaker 1: how does this affect the New England Patriots, if it
Speaker 1: affects them at all? Talk about some of these potential
Speaker 1: holdouts and how it affects you know, if you're gambling
Speaker 1: on Division odds right or the Chargers to win right now,
Speaker 1: or the Cowboys to win obviously. I mean, not having
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon or Ezekiel Elliott is going to affect those odds.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk a little bit about all those things
Speaker 1: over the next hour. And sure you've heard the new
Speaker 1: opening for the BFS. I like it. You like it.
Speaker 1: You like it more than Doo Doo doo. I mean,
Speaker 1: do do doo was your thing? You know, you hear
Speaker 1: it a little bit in there. It though, did a
Speaker 1: great job. He kind of worked it in. You hear
Speaker 1: a little bit of uh, do do do? Greg Susman
Speaker 1: and the Yo you know, we mixed in obviously. That
Speaker 1: is the way they used to announce the starting line
Speaker 1: up for the nineties New York Knicks. Oh they changed it.
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. That's so that's how they
Speaker 1: used to do it back in the nineties. So it
Speaker 1: used to be like Patrick Hewing and all these guys.
Speaker 1: That's how they used to announced him. So I wanted
Speaker 1: to ask you, if we were announcing you, how would
Speaker 1: we do it. I'm taller you what I mean? You
Speaker 1: went to uh you went to Albany, right, University of Albany.
Speaker 1: University of Albany. Standing at five ft ten ten, barely
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy pounds seventy five pounds the closer.
Speaker 1: That's how you would be introduced on the bff's introduction.
Speaker 1: I would love that. Yeah like that, Yeah, do that
Speaker 1: for the frenzy. Maybe we'll work something. Man, we'll talk
Speaker 1: to Bovona. Bone is very busy right now. I don't
Speaker 1: want to. I don't you know, I don't want to
Speaker 1: request aating from Bivona. Legitimately, might you know, ripped my
Speaker 1: head off he left there. We were just talking about
Speaker 1: the Vikings. I know you guys did the Vikings as
Speaker 1: well today. I wish I had more time to talk
Speaker 1: to e Y about the Vikings wide receivers. I kind
Speaker 1: of left that for the end. I think you kind
Speaker 1: of know what you're getting from Adam Feeling and Stefon
Speaker 1: Diggs at this point. Venture I wanted to ask you,
Speaker 1: because you're the Adam Feeling guy, how does he stack
Speaker 1: up against opposing team's wide receiver ones? Right, So, for fantasy,
Speaker 1: would you rather have Adam Feeling or would you rather
Speaker 1: have a guy like a J Green or a Maori
Speaker 1: Cooper because those are the respective wide receiver ones for
Speaker 1: their team. Whereas with the Vikings. You know that he's
Speaker 1: gonna be splitting targets with Stefon Diggs, and personally, I
Speaker 1: think that they're going to run the football more this year.
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings are gonna run a lot. I agree.
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about it on the Frenzy. We
Speaker 1: said it's gonna be closer to more a balanced attack,
Speaker 1: right because they threw a lot. I mean, Kirk Husins
Speaker 1: threw over six hundred times last year. So I do
Speaker 1: think that digs and dealing might take a hit in
Speaker 1: some targets. I don't think it's gonna be enough to wear.
Speaker 1: They lose too much value. I would take Dealing over Cooper.
Speaker 1: I would take del and over Who's Green? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would take dealing over both of them right now. Aja
Speaker 1: Green has more of the injury risk. We know the
Speaker 1: Cowboys want to run the football a lot too, but
Speaker 1: Cooper is the guy There's That's the thing. That's why
Speaker 1: I feel like I might lean a little bit Dallas Cooper,
Speaker 1: Dallas Cooper, Amari Cooper over these Minnesota Vikings guys, just
Speaker 1: because you know the target chair is gonna be there.
Speaker 1: He's the wide receiver one they don't really like to
Speaker 1: have Michael Gallup, so you know he'll fill in that
Speaker 1: like Terrence Williams Roll from a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: He'll get some deep shots per game. They bring back
Speaker 1: Jason Witten, but you know what the Cowboys are. This
Speaker 1: offense is just gonna run through Marii Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott.
Speaker 1: That's it. It's dak. But I do think that the
Speaker 1: Vikings you have to worry about Dalvin Cook Ulph probably
Speaker 1: get a little bit digs. But I think see the
Speaker 1: thing is, I think that first of all, I think
Speaker 1: that Gallup will be much better this year. I think
Speaker 1: Gallop will take a step up because he is the
Speaker 1: go to wide receiver two. Now, he should have been
Speaker 1: solid last year. He should have got a lot of
Speaker 1: wide open touchdowns where Da just missed him. Uh exactly.
Speaker 1: He should have had more touch sense and he did
Speaker 1: last year. He should and listen, he was a rookie.
Speaker 1: So now this year, I think he comes into his
Speaker 1: own a little bit more. He'll get his fast air
Speaker 1: talkers to be all right, Cooper will get the majority
Speaker 1: of volume through the air. I mean, Zeke will get
Speaker 1: his two He had seventy seventy seven catches last year,
Speaker 1: so he got it done too through the air. So
Speaker 1: I think that Listen Cooper is gonna do well obviously,
Speaker 1: But Cooper is still a risk because he has those
Speaker 1: dud games, you know. I feel like he's very up
Speaker 1: and down throughout his career. I still love him. I
Speaker 1: will still go grab him in the third round. But
Speaker 1: I think sometimes when you're just the lone wide receiver
Speaker 1: like a J Green on Cincinnati, and that's not a
Speaker 1: great good team or a great team by any means,
Speaker 1: quarterback is not very good. Um. I think sometimes you
Speaker 1: get double covered, triple covered, and it kind of hurts you, uh,
Speaker 1: with dealing. You have digs to help support you if
Speaker 1: that happened. So Feeland plays so much in the slot too.
Speaker 1: It's just so hard to cover slot receivers, right, and
Speaker 1: he's good at getting separation. He's one of the best
Speaker 1: route runners, one of the best, some of the best
Speaker 1: hands we've seen. Right. I'm gonna let everyone in a
Speaker 1: little sneak peek behind the Rotal Experts paywall here, right,
Speaker 1: So these are projections on Rotal Experts dot Com. Davis Maddick.
Speaker 1: He has Stefan Diggs as his wide receiver eight, Adam
Speaker 1: Feeling as his wide receiver ten, so both Vikings wide
Speaker 1: receivers inside his top ten. I'm gonna have to get
Speaker 1: David's Maddick on the show because I want to I
Speaker 1: want to talk to him a little bit more about this.
Speaker 1: He has both of these guys going off for He's
Speaker 1: stealing for a hundred and forty targets Stefon Diggs for
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty one targets this season. I just
Speaker 1: think that the Vikings want to run the football so much.
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be able to have this much pass volume?
Speaker 1: That's what I worry about. Maybe I need to reassess
Speaker 1: a little bit here. I gotta get Davis Maddick on
Speaker 1: the show because I don't know about this. But yeah,
Speaker 1: look in nffc ADP right now, we have in the
Speaker 1: month of July, we have Feeling going off the board
Speaker 1: at wide receiver twelve. We have Diggs going off the
Speaker 1: board at wide receiver thirteen. Marie Cooper is right in
Speaker 1: this mix at wide receiver eleven, and A. J. Green
Speaker 1: is right in this mix as well at wide receiver fourteen.
Speaker 1: A J. Green, you have the injury risk with him.
Speaker 1: I'm Arii Cooper. You don't really worry much about injury.
Speaker 1: You just hope that the Dallas Cowboys are gonna throw
Speaker 1: the ball enough and if they're just gonna feature Amari Cooper,
Speaker 1: which you know they will, but we'll get back to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I look, I don't think you go wrong with
Speaker 1: any of these wide receivers in this range. Do you
Speaker 1: start your draft R B RB, you get one of
Speaker 1: these guys. I think you feel really really good about that.
Speaker 1: Coming up, talk a little bit about Krong, whether or
Speaker 1: not he's gonna return. Uh, these running backs that are
Speaker 1: threatening to hold out the closer Chris Ventra, Frank Standfeld
Speaker 1: the BFS back after this. Hey, thanks for downloading the podcast,

Speaker 1: Danny day Oakers downstairs as my audio radio producer here,
Speaker 1: whenever Greg is not around, you should not play this.
Speaker 1: Can I let everybody in on it? On a secret,
Speaker 1: I did not pick any of the music for today show.
Speaker 1: It was already updated before I got all right. Well,
Speaker 1: I heard getting gingu witted in the first hour. I'm
Speaker 1: all right with that. A little little will Smith. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get some goods. We're gonna get some bads. It's
Speaker 1: it's a mixing musical tastes all over the place. As
Speaker 1: much as I love Metallica, I mean I could spend
Speaker 1: a whole Saturday cleaning the house, got the speaker plane,
Speaker 1: I could just have like nineties freestyle music just playing
Speaker 1: all day long. Bush Yeah, some of that. I'm and girl,
Speaker 1: You're my Diamond girl on anything nineties you put on
Speaker 1: like the best of nineties, no matter what genre I'm in.
Speaker 1: I've always said this, Chris, I wish that I was
Speaker 1: this age in the late earlies I mean the eighties,
Speaker 1: early nineties and mixed it on my words here, late eighties,
Speaker 1: early nineties. I might not be alive because there was
Speaker 1: a little bit of a epidemic back then, but you
Speaker 1: would so many of the best things ever happened then
Speaker 1: happened then, Like I would have seen the spawn of Metallica,
Speaker 1: I would have seen Michael Jordan's first come in the league.
Speaker 1: That would have been amazing. Fresh Prince of bel Air
Speaker 1: probably the best sitcom of all time. Not a hot
Speaker 1: take by the way that started. I mean, Seinfeld is
Speaker 1: one of the best sitcoms ever. Yeah, Look, I can't
Speaker 1: argue it I'm not a big fan of it. I
Speaker 1: tried to watch it, but you know, two guys from
Speaker 1: Queens like the Mets, and I know I don't like gay,
Speaker 1: don't like gay. Mors to hear you say that, I mean,
Speaker 1: but let me tell you right now, you freak out
Speaker 1: on me. You think you would be dead if you
Speaker 1: grew up. Then if I grew up, then I live
Speaker 1: in a neighborhood where in the early nineties that my
Speaker 1: whole neighborhood was complete mafia. Like the whole neighborhood, I
Speaker 1: would have been probably somewhere and given your break, your
Speaker 1: back exactly, you probably right into that ended up with
Speaker 1: some men's shoes at some point in the bottom of
Speaker 1: the ocean. Yeah, because I you know, I talked too
Speaker 1: much too. That's the problem, all right. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to talk about this report about Rob Gronkowski, right, So
Speaker 1: we gotta report earlier today that there's a forty percent chance.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they come up with these percentage chances,
Speaker 1: but a forty percent chance that Rob Gronkowski returns at
Speaker 1: some point this season. We've heard a little teasing back
Speaker 1: and forth between him and Brady potentially him coming back
Speaker 1: like for the later half of the season. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've seen any pictures of Gronk. The guy
Speaker 1: has lost like forty pounds. Really, he's like, is that good?
Speaker 1: Like me and you? Right now? He's like a stick.
Speaker 1: Is a good lost weight? Or I don't think so,
Speaker 1: because then you gotta be able to like block, and
Speaker 1: you gotta be durablest a ton of weight. He was
Speaker 1: already humongous. You know what I mean? Do you believe
Speaker 1: any of this? I mean, is there anything to this?
Speaker 1: You think Gronk shows up at some point this year?
Speaker 1: You look at their tight end depth chart, it's not good. No,
Speaker 1: they have like Ben Watson and he's suspended the first
Speaker 1: four games of the season, and then I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't even name anyone else on this on this tight end.
Speaker 1: There you go. You pay play with the Broncos last year.
Speaker 1: You're buying into this at all venture I am. I
Speaker 1: am buying in that he comes back at some point
Speaker 1: this season, because I wasn't buying that he retired last year.
Speaker 1: When he retired, I was like, he's not retiring. This
Speaker 1: guy loves the lime light. He's not done yet. I
Speaker 1: know he's a little hobbled you know, his knees are
Speaker 1: all shot. A lot of tight ends are like that.
Speaker 1: But you know, New England, I'm sure, are you know
Speaker 1: want him back? You know they would love to have
Speaker 1: him back, and he's only gonna go to New England.
Speaker 1: So I think I don't know if you should draft him.
Speaker 1: We'll see how it drifts. And how about this round nineteen? Okay,
Speaker 1: that Scott Fish. It's a twenty two round draft and
Speaker 1: there's a tight end premium. Most teams are drafting three
Speaker 1: or four tight ends. So I have zach Ertz, I
Speaker 1: have Godard, a handcuffed tight end, something I've never done before.
Speaker 1: I have Chris Herndon, and I got drunk. I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, well, you just gotta see some of the
Speaker 1: players being drafted at this point. David Moore, Cameron Artist pain,
Speaker 1: it's bad Quadre Allison like the third string running back
Speaker 1: for the Falcons, Like, all right, the a tight end premium, chains,
Speaker 1: Gronk returns. I mean, what do you have to lose
Speaker 1: at that point? I agree with that because I did
Speaker 1: Scott Fish Bowl this year and I remember you, you
Speaker 1: like you. I was desperate for tightens at one point.
Speaker 1: At one point I was Stounton will Dislie every week.
Speaker 1: So it was in Seattle, So I don't know. I
Speaker 1: mean I would have took the chance on Rock in
Speaker 1: scott Fish, but because tight ends get extra points for
Speaker 1: first downs and you know, a catch and everything like that.
Speaker 1: But in a regular twelve team PPR league, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I would. I would draft Gronk in your
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen round normal drafts, I'm not drafting Gronk if
Speaker 1: you're playing the best ball maybe where you take like
Speaker 1: two or three tight ends eight by something like that.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I feel like we had
Speaker 1: to mention his Gronk report because he is Gronk World
Speaker 1: Champion wrong and you know, he's one of the best
Speaker 1: tight ends in history. Look last yearly he seemed to
Speaker 1: be a shelf of his former self. It's kind of
Speaker 1: sad to see both him and Jimmy Graham kind of
Speaker 1: come to this point. They're not really producing the way
Speaker 1: that they used to. He's a shot. It's kind of
Speaker 1: a reminder that you know, we're getting old, they're getting
Speaker 1: old as well. But yeah, I try to work this
Speaker 1: back in towards betting right, and you look at the
Speaker 1: odds I mean, even now, without Gronk, the Patriots are
Speaker 1: the favorite to win the Super Bowl. There's seven to
Speaker 1: one right now, So I mean, you have to imagine
Speaker 1: if Gronk returns at some point, and it's probably only
Speaker 1: going to increase their odds of winning, right maybe they
Speaker 1: go up to six to one, But if he returns,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be until later on the season. If that, so,
Speaker 1: you're taking a chance you don't know when it is, Uh,
Speaker 1: you don't know if it is. And that nonsense is
Speaker 1: like it's straight nonsense, Like I can't put any stock
Speaker 1: into that, you know what I mean, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do that. So I would rather have you could get
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker for free basically late in the draft. I'm
Speaker 1: in the draft right now, where I'm in the freaking
Speaker 1: in uh thirteenth round, Delaney Walker, Chris Herndon, Jack Doyle,
Speaker 1: Jordan read All still on the board. I don't at
Speaker 1: that point, I don't hate Delaney Walker either. I looked
Speaker 1: I've looked at him as and Jordan Reid is like
Speaker 1: I understand they've they've been injury own and when they're
Speaker 1: on the field, they still produce the tight end to
Speaker 1: I don't want him as my starting Let's not get
Speaker 1: this wrong, you know, I don't don't get it twisted here.
Speaker 1: But with Delanney Walker and Georgia Read you get these
Speaker 1: guys so late and the best ball draft as you're
Speaker 1: tight end too. I kind of agree with you there value.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have the if you want
Speaker 1: to pull up the odds here for to win the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Is there anything that stands out to you
Speaker 1: right now outside of the Patriots and potentially Rob Gronkowski.
Speaker 1: I saw our our buddy big Timer in the chat.
Speaker 1: He was talking about how he got the Minnesota Vikings
Speaker 1: at twenty five to one. He puts seven hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty bucks on that, seven fifty bucks on to one
Speaker 1: the Vikings win the Super Bowl. That's paying out eighteen thousand,
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty dollars for the Minnesota Vikings. I
Speaker 1: don't hate it. The Minnesota Vikings to one defense is
Speaker 1: really good. They address the offensive line, somewhat address the
Speaker 1: offensive line in the all season. They have a really
Speaker 1: good quarterback. I think it still remains to be seen
Speaker 1: if Kirk Cousins can perform in big He's not clutch,
Speaker 1: but they have a really good running back. They have
Speaker 1: a really good defense. They have maybe the best wide
Speaker 1: receiver duo in the NFL. The Vikings at one. I'm
Speaker 1: seeing them at the Vandal Sports book at thirty to one.
Speaker 1: Not a bad bet, not not a bit bet because
Speaker 1: they made it to the championship game the year probably
Speaker 1: last year they kind of had it died. It was
Speaker 1: the first year of Kirk Cousins was there. But look
Speaker 1: there plus three thousand on fand that's one. It's not bad.
Speaker 1: I would put it. I would put a shekel on that.
Speaker 1: I picked them to win the super Bowl the year
Speaker 1: they made the championship. So it's interesting. Sisty to one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're getting the hype here too. I mean, look, I
Speaker 1: think I think the Vikings, you know, in a vacuum,
Speaker 1: have a better chance to win the Super Bowl than
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty niners. So I'm a little shocked
Speaker 1: to see San Fran at thirty to one. I understand
Speaker 1: they're getting a little bit of hype here. Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 1: and what he was able to do last year with
Speaker 1: that offense with Nick Mullins. So Jimmy Garoppolo coming back,
Speaker 1: he's got a few hurdles to jump here. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's coming back from an eighth t L right, but
Speaker 1: hopefully it doesn't run. They have don't run. They have
Speaker 1: a stable of running backs there. They have a solid
Speaker 1: offensive line. They still have Richard Sherman on the defense.
Speaker 1: How is the defense the defense? They brought in de Ford.
Speaker 1: That's not gonna hurt their defense. They also signed Jason
Speaker 1: Varette of the Chargers. He's been very injury prone, but
Speaker 1: if he can stay on the heat, that's a big
Speaker 1: if you have him and Sherman together. So I like
Speaker 1: they have pieces on the defense, but I wouldn't one.
Speaker 1: I like the Vikings at thirty two one more than
Speaker 1: I like. You know, you don't have to better than
Speaker 1: them Steelers. Shout out to Alex down Stands and Steelers
Speaker 1: one to one. I like them more than the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: Grow a few checkles down on them to win the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. That's Chris Ventra I Frank Safe. When we
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna talk about Zeke Elliott and Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon and how it affects future betting here on the

Speaker 1: was live from the FanDuel Sports Book. So if you
Speaker 1: live in the New Jersey area you want to get
Speaker 1: out and hang with the lunatic is Kate Morrincy. He
Speaker 1: will be at the FanDuel Sports Book doing Game Time
Speaker 1: Decisions live from their five to seven and then after
Speaker 1: that they have In Game Live, a new show where
Speaker 1: they are looking at the live in game betting of
Speaker 1: baseball games and whatever sport is on really and whether
Speaker 1: or not you should jump on any of those. I
Speaker 1: believe last night they had Gabe, they had Cam Stewart,
Speaker 1: and they had Dane spitting speeds. That's gonna be a
Speaker 1: revolving door door of guests. I don't know whatever, There's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of guests on that show. It's

Speaker 1: out talk about live in game odds. So if you
Speaker 1: live in the New Jersey area you want to hang
Speaker 1: out with Gay Morncy and get some bets in head
Speaker 1: on over to the fan Duel sports book Venture. I
Speaker 1: mentioned this before the break. We know that Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: is threatening a hold out here, same thing with Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 1: and I kind of wanted to work this back into
Speaker 1: if you're betting on futures regarding division winners, how does
Speaker 1: this affect what you're doing right now? So I mentioned
Speaker 1: this to you during the break. The Philadelphia Eagles right
Speaker 1: now to win the NFC East are minus one ten.
Speaker 1: They are the favorite in division to win this division.
Speaker 1: You're getting the Dallas Cowboys at plus one forty. And
Speaker 1: I said this the other day. I said, if you
Speaker 1: like the Philadelphia Eagles to witness division, you will have
Speaker 1: to jump on them now at minus one ten because
Speaker 1: the further we go into training camp, if Ezekiel Elliott
Speaker 1: does not show up, you're going to see these odds jump.
Speaker 1: You're you're going to see the Philadelphi Eagles get as
Speaker 1: high as minus one fifty, maybe even minus two hundred
Speaker 1: if closer we get to the Sea Sason and if
Speaker 1: there's no Ezekiel Elliott. So what do you think about
Speaker 1: that right now? I mean, you kind of played at
Speaker 1: both sides, right, Like, if you like the Cowboys, you
Speaker 1: can kind of wait and then I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: see their odds move as well. So what do you
Speaker 1: think right now with the NFC East? If you are
Speaker 1: you jumping on the Eagles, you like the Eagles who
Speaker 1: winnes Division? What do you think about the threat of
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott and how it affects US division? Well, first
Speaker 1: of all, I would like I would love to know
Speaker 1: if it's changed since the news about Zeke Elliott came
Speaker 1: out that he he might hasn't changed. This is what
Speaker 1: we looked at. We we saw this last week. They
Speaker 1: were the Eagles were minus one end of winness. So
Speaker 1: I honestly would not go with the Eagles right now,
Speaker 1: not knowing. I know it's a risk, but Zeke, I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna end up playing. I don't think he Like,
Speaker 1: he's still got time on his contract like Gordon, it's
Speaker 1: up after this year, right, So I think Zeke will
Speaker 1: end up playing. This team's poised to make a run.
Speaker 1: I don't think Zeke wants to miss that. Uh, And
Speaker 1: I think it's better, just better odds right here plus
Speaker 1: one forty to get the Cowboys. Uh. I know that
Speaker 1: if it turns out the other way he does hold out,
Speaker 1: then I could have got much better rodds. But I
Speaker 1: do think the Cowboys are gonna win this division as
Speaker 1: it stands right now. I don't think the Eagles are
Speaker 1: gonna win. I don't. I don't think the Eagles have
Speaker 1: the full pieces to win this. We have against the
Speaker 1: Eagles venture the running game, Georgan Howard, Miles Sanders. You
Speaker 1: don't like none of these guys. I mean I think
Speaker 1: that they have They have multiple running backs that film
Speaker 1: multiple roles, so they don't have a and Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: might turn out to be that guy. They don't have
Speaker 1: a stand at workhorse. I don't think that they want one.
Speaker 1: The way that Doug Peterson runs his right back by committee,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he wants guys that fill certain roles.
Speaker 1: So if you look at what Jordan Howard does as
Speaker 1: the early down bruiser, you don't he doesn't need to
Speaker 1: catch passes, he can score on the goal line. I
Speaker 1: think I think he's pretty good at doing those things.
Speaker 1: And then they have Miles Sanders, who can do a
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. They still have Corey Clement, who's
Speaker 1: a good pass catcher. They have Boston Scott on this team,
Speaker 1: so they really have a running back that fills every
Speaker 1: role that you want on a team. So they have
Speaker 1: deaf They don't really have one standout running back, but
Speaker 1: they have a lot of guys and their offensive line, look,
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. The offensive might not matter who you put
Speaker 1: back there. Yeah, I mean you you might be able
Speaker 1: to run for four yards per carry behind that offensive line.
Speaker 1: It is the I would argue that it's the best
Speaker 1: offensive line in football. I would agree, but if the
Speaker 1: Cowboys aren't too too far off. The Cowboys have a
Speaker 1: pretty go off. They're older, some of these guys now,
Speaker 1: but it's a very good offensive line, and you just
Speaker 1: have the better generational talent type running back there. I
Speaker 1: like the way that's built because the Cowboys are built
Speaker 1: on defense, and you know they're gonna want a true clock,
Speaker 1: and I like teams that build themselves the right way.
Speaker 1: Where the Eagles they don't have the running backs, they
Speaker 1: have the offensive line, and they do have a very
Speaker 1: good defense too, a very good defense, right, So I
Speaker 1: think they're not really built the same way. I think
Speaker 1: there's holes in this offense. I don't think the receivers
Speaker 1: are that great overall. I know Earth's is really the
Speaker 1: true number one, but Urt's Isn't you know, nobody really
Speaker 1: there is is scaring me in terms of this team's like,
Speaker 1: you know, running like just gonna bro. That's why they
Speaker 1: run into Jackson. I'm not solding the Shawn. He's older now,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, he will hit once in a while,
Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna have his fair share of
Speaker 1: Doud games. I don't think the Eagles are this high powered,
Speaker 1: high flying offense that they want to be, and they
Speaker 1: don't have the running game to be the ground in
Speaker 1: pound let's true clock type of team. So I don't
Speaker 1: know what their identity really is yet. The only place
Speaker 1: I think that the Cowboys where the Eagles have the
Speaker 1: Cowboys beat his quarterback and maybe and tight end obviously,
Speaker 1: but they I think Cooper is obviously to me much
Speaker 1: better than Alshon Jeffrey, who's you know in the last
Speaker 1: leg of his career. Uh. And I think Michael Gallup
Speaker 1: is a young, over the top guy that could work
Speaker 1: the quote. It all rests on Dak Prescott. I think
Speaker 1: will he take his shots and will he hit his
Speaker 1: shots downfield? Because the Cowboys gonna need to do that
Speaker 1: and work off Zeke Galliott, play action and all that.
Speaker 1: But I think that built pretty damn well to win
Speaker 1: this division again. They won it last year. I know
Speaker 1: when you know was heard, you know that's the risk.
Speaker 1: That's the risk with the injury Eagles, right So if
Speaker 1: you bet on the Eagles right now to win this division,
Speaker 1: I would say that there is more downside to betting
Speaker 1: on the Eagles right now because of that injury risk
Speaker 1: that comes associated with Carson Wentz. You don't have that
Speaker 1: same type of injury risk with a Dak Prescott. Albeit
Speaker 1: he's not the same quarterback as Carson Wentz. He's not
Speaker 1: as talented, but that injury risk is not there. You
Speaker 1: don't have that injury risk with Ezekiel Elliott or Marii Cooper.
Speaker 1: I mean, the three mainstays of this Dallas Cowboys offense
Speaker 1: are all twenty five years older, Younger Zika, Marii Cooper,
Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott. I will say this, while the downside
Speaker 1: is lower for the Eagles, I think the upside is
Speaker 1: also higher because if Carson Wentz stays healthy, we saw
Speaker 1: two years ago, I mean, he was gonna win the
Speaker 1: m v P. He was awesome. That's why like I
Speaker 1: really like Carson Wentz for fantasy football this year because
Speaker 1: I think you're right. He doesn't have a number one
Speaker 1: wide receiver and he doesn't have a workhorse running back.
Speaker 1: But it's the sum of the parts for the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles that I really like. Love the offensive line. You know,
Speaker 1: I agree with you on Alson Jeffrey. I don't really
Speaker 1: love him for fantasy football this year. I think you know,
Speaker 1: he continues to take a step back. He's not really
Speaker 1: good in terms of separation. Um, he's not great at
Speaker 1: this point. You know what Alshon Jeffrey is. But the
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson adds another element of someone that can stretch
Speaker 1: the field and get behind the defense. He helped make
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick fantasy viable last year. Zach Ertz, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the best tight ends in the league. They
Speaker 1: still have, you know, Nelson Aglar, who can be a
Speaker 1: possession receiver for this Goddard who could get and Alice
Speaker 1: Goddard as well. And they draft j. J ar Sega Whiteside,
Speaker 1: who's this massive wide receiver who they can use in
Speaker 1: the red zone. So while they might all take away
Speaker 1: from each other. From a fantasy perspective, I think the
Speaker 1: one beneficiary is gonna be Carson Wentz because I don't
Speaker 1: I just don't really, I don't really see holes here.
Speaker 1: I think that if he stays healthy, their offense is
Speaker 1: going to be amazing. He is someone who has he
Speaker 1: has top five upside for fantasy football. It legitimately does. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I agree with you went I think listen, even last year,
Speaker 1: he was having a fantastic season. Um, but it's just
Speaker 1: that one bad hit with that back though. Man. That
Speaker 1: worries me. It worries me the fact that, Okay, you
Speaker 1: want to take shots down field, your wire receiver one
Speaker 1: can't do it. He's slow, you know, he's older, You're
Speaker 1: you're really, you're really discounting Deshan Jackson. Deshan I was
Speaker 1: just gonna get Deshan Jackson is the guy now, right,
Speaker 1: So you want to take that shot. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of times it's not gonna work unless the running
Speaker 1: game is doing well. Though, because everybody knows what Deshan Jackson,
Speaker 1: what his m O is, what he does, He's gonna
Speaker 1: try to burn you downfield. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: teams are gonna play you're an opposing defensive coordinator. What
Speaker 1: are you selling out to try and stop though? How
Speaker 1: are you trying to stop the eat? You're stopping the past,
Speaker 1: You're not stopping You're not worried about the run. At
Speaker 1: the beginning of the next thing, you know, you have
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard pounding you four yards, pounding you four yards.
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, who everyone's excited about for you know, Dynasty
Speaker 1: Fantasy for years to come, right, They think that he
Speaker 1: can be an all purpose back. A lot of people
Speaker 1: excited about Miles Sanders, and you still have Corey Clement,
Speaker 1: who can catch the ball out of the backfield. I
Speaker 1: just think, as soon as you try and stop the pass,
Speaker 1: the Eagles are gonna punch you in the mouth with
Speaker 1: a variety of running backs here who can all do
Speaker 1: different things. And then that's gonna set up the play
Speaker 1: action pass, and then you have Zach ERT's over the
Speaker 1: middle of the field. I just think, if I'm a
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator trying to stop the Philadelphia Eagles, they're one of,
Speaker 1: if not the toughest team to game plan for in
Speaker 1: terms of trying to stop their offense. Right well, I
Speaker 1: think if but that's what I'm saying, if you're looking
Speaker 1: at it, and you're looking at this team, and you're
Speaker 1: playing the week one as a defensive coording, you're saying, listen,
Speaker 1: let's stop the pass. Wentz is a scary guy here.
Speaker 1: We're not scared of Miles Sanders in Jordan Howard. Even
Speaker 1: though the offensive line is very good. Now, if the
Speaker 1: if the running game works, this team could be amazing.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and I'm not saying they're gonna
Speaker 1: be bad. It's gonna be a dog fight between them
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys for the division. But I just think
Speaker 1: there's it's very fickle like I think this team could
Speaker 1: fall upon it the seams. If one major guy gets hurt,
Speaker 1: of one thing goes wrong, if the Shawan Jackson gets hurt,
Speaker 1: which is highly likely, you know you got no deep
Speaker 1: threat anymore. If you if Wentz gets hurt, you don't
Speaker 1: have your quota back anymore. I mean, that's the big one.
Speaker 1: He's a big he's a big deals. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean. You want to be a prolific offense, you
Speaker 1: need all these pieces to work and run. Whereas the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: I don't think they're looking to be there's high flying offense.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna go with Zeke. They're gonna go
Speaker 1: with the run. You don't have to worry about injury
Speaker 1: with him Cooper. You got your wide receiver woman when
Speaker 1: you need him, and they are going to feed him
Speaker 1: a lot, and he's gonna do a lot of dynamic things.
Speaker 1: He's better than Jeffrey. He could go downfield and do
Speaker 1: a lot of different things and gallup as a burner,
Speaker 1: and he's a young burner. I like the youth of
Speaker 1: this team. I think there's a lot of injury risk
Speaker 1: in the Eagles, you know what I mean, There's a
Speaker 1: lot of volatility there. Because one thing goes wrong with
Speaker 1: Wentz and you can you know it's over. You can
Speaker 1: kiss your Philadelphia Eagles future out the window. You can
Speaker 1: kiss your fantasy season goodbye if you lose Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: or you know obviously how that affects um guys like
Speaker 1: zach Ertz and in in the past game. They don't
Speaker 1: have Nick Foles anymore. They don't have Nick Foles Wentz anymore.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they don't really have that to fall back
Speaker 1: on if anything happens to him. So I understand from
Speaker 1: a betting perspective, from a fantasy perspective, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of volatility because Carson Wentz could get her. When we
Speaker 1: come back, I want to talk about some of those
Speaker 1: Mad ratings that you mentioned earlier on Well, we'll hear
Speaker 1: from Keenan Allen he didn't like his Madden rating. We'll
Speaker 1: kind of try and bring that all back to petting
Speaker 1: this year as well. It's the Closer Chris Venture at

Speaker 1: thanks for listening. And I just want to start this
Speaker 1: video off by saying I would not be playing Mad.
Speaker 1: It's Tony period, all right. Number one, My overall is
Speaker 1: at eighty nine for sure. Uh. My short route running
Speaker 1: is a ninety one sixty. My medium running is an
Speaker 1: eighty eight. What like my deep right running the seventy five? Like, bro,
Speaker 1: who's making this? No? Wait wait, who did this? Speedies
Speaker 1: at eighties seven? Like? Bro, ain't nobody just running with me?
Speaker 1: Step for step like that? Bro? Like, come on though,
Speaker 1: it's not that sweet out there, man, Like, what are
Speaker 1: you thinking my strength at sixty nine? Like, I'm a
Speaker 1: little boy. I'm just gonna understand. It's something I'm not understanding.
Speaker 1: I'm eighty nine in the game Pro Bowl back back
Speaker 1: because I don't understand what's up. I'm talking to me
Speaker 1: here and there from Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers wide
Speaker 1: receiver and straight to the sixty nine? What am I
Speaker 1: a little boy? First of all, you heard the car
Speaker 1: in the background. Pay attention to keep your eyes on
Speaker 1: the road. Yeah, I mean that's that's the last thing
Speaker 1: we need. And we've got enough going on with Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon and the Chargers in this offseason. And he's already
Speaker 1: got anything happening to you. Keenan Allen's already got injury
Speaker 1: history too. What do you think about this venture? I mean,
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen ranks behind A J. Green by t Y
Speaker 1: Hilton's strength of the sixty nine, like a like a
Speaker 1: little boy. I mean, I would like to hear what
Speaker 1: Hilton has straight is a forty six, Beckham is a
Speaker 1: fifty three. These guys take this stuff pretty seriously. I mean,
Speaker 1: he knew everything about his short route running, his medium
Speaker 1: route running. If you, if you were an NFL player,
Speaker 1: would you take it that seriously? Um? I don't know
Speaker 1: if they had Chris ventures speed at a at a
Speaker 1: sixty yeah, grown boy. Back to the strength speed, those
Speaker 1: are the things, back to the weight room. I don't
Speaker 1: know how could you put a guy's strength so low,
Speaker 1: like like Ty Hilton forty six. That's obviously not true.
Speaker 1: Forty six strength is like a little girl, I mean
Speaker 1: a little girl. And you know we're not set here
Speaker 1: in the BFF, so would be little girls that are
Speaker 1: very strong. T Y Hilton, Yeah, I mean he ranks
Speaker 1: at ninety one. He's actually above Keenan Allen overall. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think where he's ranked around A J. Greenamari Cooper.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's bad. What about Jujus Smith Schuster
Speaker 1: it's only an eight. I feel like he should be
Speaker 1: higher than that. Well, I guess because you know it's
Speaker 1: his first year as the wide receiver one. I'm calling
Speaker 1: it right now. Juju Smith Schuster is an eighty eight
Speaker 1: this year in Madden twenty. Next year he will be
Speaker 1: calling that right now. You will be ninety five next year.
Speaker 1: And that is just a sneak peek about how I
Speaker 1: feel about Juju this year in Fantasy football. We're gonna
Speaker 1: start doing the A f C breakdowns tomorrow, but once
Speaker 1: we get to the Steelers, I'm very bullish on Jujuice
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster this year. Is there anything up at the
Speaker 1: top that catches your eye in terms of the wide
Speaker 1: receiver rankings? Your boy Julio Jones tied for second with
Speaker 1: a ninety eight rating Janary Hopkins and does all this
Speaker 1: makes sense? Well, first of all, yeah, I'm cool with it.
Speaker 1: But but Julio, Okay, first of all, him and Hopkins
Speaker 1: have the oh strength what you know, that's true, seventy eight.
Speaker 1: They both have seventy eight, which should be high. I mean,
Speaker 1: Julio is a freaking freight train. They have. Mike Evans
Speaker 1: is the best strength rating at alsan Jeffrey, because Mike
Speaker 1: Evans is six five, he's a monster. Julio is only
Speaker 1: six three, but he flies he's at his speed should
Speaker 1: be ridiculous. Acceleration should be ridiculous. It's one Browne alright,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm cool with it. I don't think DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: has better acceleration than Julio Jones. I don't think DeAndre
Speaker 1: Hopkins is where where's the speed? Speed? They've both have
Speaker 1: ninety nine two speed? Okay, ninety two speed. I think
Speaker 1: Julio's faster than DeAndre Hopkins. I mean, what inhersent? How
Speaker 1: about Demands Adams two? That's my wide receiver one for
Speaker 1: fantasy football this year. I know he's ranked behind both
Speaker 1: of the Vikings wide receivers. Yeah, like Dealing and Diggs
Speaker 1: are really really talented. I get it, Like really good
Speaker 1: route runners, really good. You should be ahead of diggste
Speaker 1: Adams says, at least ahead of Diggs. He has certainly
Speaker 1: proved himself. Yeah, you know, they're actually people who believe
Speaker 1: that Davante Adams is not an elite talent. He's just
Speaker 1: really good putting up stats because he plays with Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: What do you think about something like I think that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I think that's a little bit ridiculous. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: He's been doing it for a while now, even as
Speaker 1: a as a wire saving two slash three. In order
Speaker 1: to get open in the red zone, Venturo, you have
Speaker 1: to be a talented route runner. You have to have
Speaker 1: really strong hands. I mean, you have to be able
Speaker 1: to win contested catches the jump ball. I mean, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers is not just throwing this guy the ball in
Speaker 1: the red zone twenty five times a season because he's
Speaker 1: lucky or because he's just on the field and he's healthy.
Speaker 1: I mean, he is really, really good. You remember when
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson went down with that torny cl Davanta Adams
Speaker 1: it was it must have been four or five years ago.
Speaker 1: At this point, Davante Adams started getting drafted, like the
Speaker 1: third fourth round, he shot up a DP. We thought
Speaker 1: he was gonna be the wide reteater one. He couldn't
Speaker 1: handle it at that point. He was not ready to
Speaker 1: be a wide receiver one. From that point to now
Speaker 1: what he has become, it's night and day. It's not
Speaker 1: even close much better. I think that he is an
Speaker 1: elite talent. I mean, there are people out there who
Speaker 1: analyze football and fantasy football who actually believe Davante Adams
Speaker 1: is not an elite talent at the wide receiver position.
Speaker 1: Now I could shame yeah, I mean, listen, he's an
Speaker 1: elite talent, but I could understand where people are coming
Speaker 1: from because of you know, back in the day, he
Speaker 1: wasn't as good. Maybe it's flukey the touchdowns. He's all
Speaker 1: about the touchdowns, but that means something. If you could
Speaker 1: consistently put up double digit touchdowns, you're a very very
Speaker 1: good wide receiver. I'm sorry, it's very hard to put
Speaker 1: up double digit touchdowns year in and year out. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's just not done. And I know that Rogers is
Speaker 1: a great quarterback that helps him out a lot, but
Speaker 1: he's clearly an elite wide receiver one here and he's
Speaker 1: doing it. He did it last year. He really didn't
Speaker 1: have much else helping him out, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: The running back everyone got hurt. Darno Mollison played the
Speaker 1: first month of the season, he got hurt, and then
Speaker 1: there was a bunch of rookies surrounding. This is I'm
Speaker 1: starting to get I'm starting to get mad now because
Speaker 1: he is really talented, and you look at the situation
Speaker 1: last year, Aaron Rodgers was basically playing on one leg.
Speaker 1: He was not himself. He only two for twenty five touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Half of those went to Davante Adams. There was nobody
Speaker 1: opposite Davanta Adams. And it's not like he was just
Speaker 1: a volume wide receiver. He was still very efficient as well,
Speaker 1: and he made the most of his opportunity. The guy
Speaker 1: had a hundred and eleven receptions for God's sake. Yeah, no, dude,
Speaker 1: I don't understand where people are coming at with this.
Speaker 1: The last three years in a row. He's quote, he's
Speaker 1: first of all, had a ton of targets, but a
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven last year, seventy four and seventy five
Speaker 1: years before broke thirteen hundred, almost had fourteen hundred receiving
Speaker 1: last year. Uh, non elite wide receiver really doesn't do that.
Speaker 1: And not to mention the years before he had almost
Speaker 1: a thousand and almost nine hundred. And I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: he might not be the fastest guy in Lenkue, but
Speaker 1: this guy strong as hell. He's had double digit touchdowns
Speaker 1: the last three years in a row. That's unheard of.
Speaker 1: Not a lot of receivers can do that. DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: might be the only one. Julio only had double digit
Speaker 1: toutsowns what one time in his career. It's very hard
Speaker 1: to do. Last time he did that, fun fact, he
Speaker 1: was with Dirk Cutter, who is now the O C.
Speaker 1: So I'll throw that at you off the top of
Speaker 1: your head. If you had to guess who is the
Speaker 1: favorite to lead the NFL in receiving touchdowns this season
Speaker 1: according to the Fandal Sports Book, who would you say
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns this year? I think it'd be between Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown and Davante Adams. Davante Adams is the favorite at
Speaker 1: ten to one. Right now, I'm a Fandal sports book.
Speaker 1: I mean even attend to one odds. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's a bad bet. Yeah, Antonio Brown is sixteen to one.
Speaker 1: You know the targets are gonna be there. Is he too? No,
Speaker 1: he is. He has the fourth best odds to do
Speaker 1: it between him. Travis Kelsey is second at twelve to one,
Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins third at thirteen to one. Is there
Speaker 1: anyone that comes to mind for you that you like
Speaker 1: as a bet, and don't just say Julio Jones because
Speaker 1: you love him. You know that's he's not gonna score touchdowns?
Speaker 1: Well he can, though he scored eight in the less
Speaker 1: eight games. Right. I don't know what was going on
Speaker 1: in the first halfter the season, but I'll tell you
Speaker 1: right now. Juju Smith Schuster at sixteen to one to
Speaker 1: lead the NFL in receiving touchdowns. I was thinking, I
Speaker 1: really really like that because you have a hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety targets, not whatever Antonio Brown had last year. Right,
Speaker 1: you have all those targets available. Juju was already a
Speaker 1: target beast last season, and he actually had more red
Speaker 1: zone targets in Antonio Brown. Antonio Brown had what fourteen
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year? Yeah, and Juju had more red zone
Speaker 1: targets than Antonio Brown, but less touchdowns and he only
Speaker 1: had seven touches. So you're telling me you have to
Speaker 1: replace all of it, Antonio Brown's targets, all of Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown's touchdowns. And Juju already let this team in red
Speaker 1: zone targets. You're getting them at sixteen to one, so
Speaker 1: lead the NFL. And I like touchdowns because of the
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. And the Steelers, you know
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw the ball to him. The other one
Speaker 1: I'll throw in there. Mike Evans at twenty two one.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Too vertical passing attack Amari Cooper one.
Speaker 1: I like that. I just don't know that there's enough
Speaker 1: passing volume with the Cowboys. Is this to lead the
Speaker 1: whole NFL to lead most regular season receiving touchdowns? Listen?
Speaker 1: I could see Cooper doing it man a whole full
Speaker 1: season with the Cowboys. You know, I wonder how it works.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna team touch're gonna have Gabe asked the sports book, how,
Speaker 1: like what happens if if two guys are tied? Right? So, like,
Speaker 1: let's say Juju has thirteen touchdowns this here, but so
Speaker 1: does Davanta Adams? Like do they pay out both people?
Speaker 1: I think they have to, yeah, right, because they were
Speaker 1: tied for the league leading receiving touchdowns. Unless they got
Speaker 1: earnings or something, I don't know. I think you gotta
Speaker 1: pay them both out. All right, Let's look a little
Speaker 1: bit at the running backs here, and then we'll look
Speaker 1: at who who is expected to lead the league in
Speaker 1: rushing yards and rushing touchdowns this season. So the Madden
Speaker 1: ratings this year at running back, M Wow, you still
Speaker 1: have Todd Gurley number one. Huh? They still have Todd
Speaker 1: Gurley number number one. At seven, I guess they don't
Speaker 1: have a knee health rating in Madden. They should have
Speaker 1: because they have him at nineties seven. They have an
Speaker 1: injury rating I understand. Look, if Todd Gurley was healthy,
Speaker 1: he should have this rating. I understand that. So maybe
Speaker 1: they made this rating. They couldn't have made it before
Speaker 1: all this news came out, like they saw everything that
Speaker 1: happened in the second half of this here's his injury rating. Ready,
Speaker 1: what's his injury rating? So I'd imagine that the higher
Speaker 1: that is, the letter likely you are to get hurt
Speaker 1: in game, like Zeke Elliott's is ninety seven. That makes sense.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been so durable, right, Todd Gurley should
Speaker 1: probably be based on this knee like five That's what
Speaker 1: I was thinking, to seventy five at the highest, and
Speaker 1: that'll drop him down. So your top five running running
Speaker 1: backs and Madden rating this year Todd Gurley, Ezekiel, Elliott,
Speaker 1: Levi on Bell. Look at that J E. T. S.
Speaker 1: Melt and Gordon threatening a holdout ninety two, say Kwan
Speaker 1: Barkley at ninety one. Venture Christian McCaffrey comes in right
Speaker 1: behind him at Kareem Hunt suspended for the first eight games,
Speaker 1: he's a ninety, whereas Nick Chubb is an eighty five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not upset about It's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram still in eighty six. Yeah, years old, and
Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman's higher than David Johnson. Is what is the like?
Speaker 1: What is Devonte Freeman's injury rating? If you could pull
Speaker 1: that up for me, because I mean, the guy's in
Speaker 1: eighty nine, but he's basically held together by scotch tape.
Speaker 1: His injury rating is eighty six. What we do? What
Speaker 1: do we do? He's that the whole season. DeVonta Freeman
Speaker 1: played two games last year. What do we do? Right? Carson?
Speaker 1: You mentioned this Dounsiders. Chris Carson has the same rating
Speaker 1: as David Johnson. It wasn't David Johnson's fault that the
Speaker 1: offensivecordinator ran him into the ass of the offensive line
Speaker 1: every single plays. David Johnson's fled a lot of passing
Speaker 1: opportunities and like I catches could catch eighty passes easy.
Speaker 1: I don't want to want to look at this real quick.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you Barkley should be nine though, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't really How could you? He does everything? Well?
Speaker 1: Who would you bet to lead the NFL and rushing
Speaker 1: yards this year. In rushing yards, Russ I would say
Speaker 1: would say has the second best odds at four to one.
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott has the best odds of three. I't down
Speaker 1: because of this hold out. Because of the hold out,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Most regular season rushing touchdowns, the
Speaker 1: favorite is Alvin Kamara at eight to one, tied with
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott at eight to one as well. I think
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry at eleven and one is an interesting one
Speaker 1: for rushing touchdowns this year. We gotta see what type
Speaker 1: of Henry we see this year. That's true. I think
Speaker 1: they want to run the football a lot. That is
Speaker 1: the closer. Chris Vncher make sure you catch Fantasy Football

Speaker 1: to da what did happen? What did? Here's what you
Speaker 1: missed on the BFFs. I wanna talk here about. First
Speaker 1: of all, just like QB strategy, normally, if we play
Speaker 1: in one quarterback league, I'm not gonna be one of
Speaker 1: the one of the first people to draft a quarterback.
Speaker 1: A super flax league and Rodgers probably going going within
Speaker 1: the first two rounds, maybe he slips to the first
Speaker 1: three rounds. But in a one quarterback league right now
Speaker 1: in the NFC, he's going late fifth round, early sixth round.
Speaker 1: I might actually be able to get behind it. This
Speaker 1: feels like the first time in a long time we're
Speaker 1: actually getting Aaron Rodgers at a bit at a bit
Speaker 1: of a discount. What do you think about Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: overall and in a one quarterback league, would you take
Speaker 1: one of those top four quarterbacks. Mahomes goes in like
Speaker 1: the second third round, so I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: But then those other three Andrew Luck, Deshaun Watson, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: It seems like you could get those guys anywhere from
Speaker 1: rounds four to six. What do you think about that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, technically wise, I think Aaron Rodgers is the
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the NFL. He does everything, He thinks
Speaker 1: the game well. He throws well. He can throw long,
Speaker 1: he can throw short, he can throw with touch, he
Speaker 1: can scramble, he can run. I mean, there's nothing this
Speaker 1: guy can't do. As far as La Fleur goes. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was here in Tennessee and it took him twelve
Speaker 1: games to figure out hand the ball to a six
Speaker 1: found running back that can run like the wind. N
Speaker 1: High drafted Derrick Henry everywhere last last year because La
Speaker 1: Fleur and the coaching team there said that's what they
Speaker 1: were going to do. But I think he was trying
Speaker 1: to make the Tennessee Titans a spread kind of passing offense,
Speaker 1: kind of what Mariota was used to in um Oregon.
Speaker 1: But the problem was is I don't think Mariota is
Speaker 1: a good enough quarterback. That's that's just the sad truth.
Speaker 1: I own a Mariota Jersey. I want him to be good.
Speaker 1: He plays in my hometown team. But the fleur Um
Speaker 1: and Rogers, it's gonna be interesting to see what happens.
Speaker 1: Everyone's saying, the floor is this offensive guy, the floor
Speaker 1: is this offensive guy where we haven't seen it. We've
Speaker 1: seen him finally give in and give twenty touches to
Speaker 1: the best player on the team, Derrick Henry. But that
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen in Green Bay.
Speaker 1: And I mean to me, I wrote it down right here.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is the offensive coordinator. He's going to make
Speaker 1: the call. Yeah, that's absolutely true when it comes to
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Last year he finished QB nine and fantasy
Speaker 1: points per game. He hasn't finished a top five quarterback
Speaker 1: each of the past two seasons, but during that time
Speaker 1: he's dealt with shoulder injuries, He's dealt with head injuries.
Speaker 1: Last year, you know we all remember and one uh
Speaker 1: the knee injury very loopy in the postgame interview as well,
Speaker 1: they basically, you know, hopped him up on something and
Speaker 1: basically told him, Uh, you know, go out there and
Speaker 1: try and win this game in the second half. And
Speaker 1: he basically played the whole season with a bum knee,
Speaker 1: and I think you kind of saw that reflected in
Speaker 1: his performance his completion percentage sixty two point three percent.
Speaker 1: That was the second lowest of his career as a starter.
