Speaker 2: What is up, straight Firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight

00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: Fire for Wednesday, August twenty eighth. Got a wonderful podcast ahead. Listen.

4
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: It's a slow week in sports, but I feel like

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: we're bringing the noise and the funk. And if you

6
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: have not had your fantasy football drafts yet, I've had

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: none of mine, You're gonna love today's guests Evan Silver

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: from established the Run, a really smart website dedicated to

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: fantasy football. You're gonna love this. And I just think

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 2: he's dropping a bunch of interesting nuggets with players that

11
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 2: he likes, some tendencies that he's seeing, schedule related stuff.

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: I think you guys are gonna love this. It's gonna

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: help you win your draft hopefully.

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: Now.

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: I did see a couple small news items that jumped

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: out to me from the NFL. Nothing major, nothing I'm

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: gonna go long on, but for one. Kadarius Tony, the

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 2: much maligned Chiefs receiver former New York Giants player, an

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: electric talent but also an eclectic talent, and his propensity

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: for drops caught up with him. The Chiefs went out

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: and brought in Juju Smith Schuster and you're like, oh,

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: somebody's gonna go Canarius. Tony gets the acts. He will

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: never be forgotten for that incredible punt return. I think

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: it was sixty five yards in the Super Bowl against

25
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: the Eagles, one point game in the fourth quarter and

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: he brings it back sixty five yards, sets them up

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: inside the ten. Really tremendous play in the Super Bowl

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: from Tony. But he had a rough year last season.

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 2: The other two things that jumped out, did I say

30
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: two or three? Wow? Whatever? Number one the Broncos dumping

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: Tim Patrick. They tried to get fined a trade partner, partner,

32
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: nobody's willing to give up anything, and the Detroit Lions pounced.

33
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: They pick him up. Now, Tim, you guys remember Patrick,

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: a very important locker room figure for the Broncos, veteran receiver,

35
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: had a good came It was just a number scrunch,

36
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: and now he lands with the Detroit Lions. Who you know.

37
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: I've speculated DeVante Adams will be in play for them

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: at the deadline. We'll see Patrick a good player. I

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: don't know if he's as good as Josh Reynolds was

40
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: for the Lions last year, but there is a bit

41
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: of a hole after Amara Saint Brown. If you're picking

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: knits on the Lions, that's probably the lone spot. The

43
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: biggest news, and not everybody would characterize this as big news,

44
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: is that McVeigh was talking about the Rams and said

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: that Kyne Williams the monster running back last season. I

46
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: believe at a Notre Dame who was like a Johnny

47
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: cum Lately and then tore up the league last year.

48
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: He was so instrumental in that Rams push. You ma,

49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: you guys don't probably forgot this. The Rams opened three

50
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: and six last year. So my prediction that like the

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: sky was falling, it was spot on my prediction. Aaron

52
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: Donald could get traded the deadline. It looked good for

53
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: a while and then they get that. I think it

54
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: was a comeback victory against maybe Seattle, and they really

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: turned it around and they went from three to six

56
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: to the playoffs and they were, you know, a good

57
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 2: team and Kyraen Williams was a big factor. Now. He

58
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: had a buck fifty eight against Arizona, missed a month,

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: came back against Arizona, had a buck forty three, had

60
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: one hundred and fourteen against the Ravens, in the slop

61
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: in that loss one hundred and fifty two against Washington.

62
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: I know he's stacking up some numbers against bad teams.

63
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: The Ravens were good one hundred four against the Saints

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: touchdown machine. He had twelve touchdowns. The guy only played

65
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: three six He played about twelve games, and now he's

66
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: going to return punts. Well, here's the thing. Kyron Williams

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: was being drafted like second third round. So my brother

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: drafting with his fourteen team league in Pennsylvania. Somebody got

69
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: Kyrien Williams first round and it's like he's gonna return punts.

70
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: I'm just being honest with you, guys. There was zero

71
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: chance that he's gonna return punts and get twenty carries

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: a game. I don't see that in the cards at all.

73
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: And it makes you wonder, like, why would McVeigh drop this? Now?

74
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: It just felt very strange. So what does that mean? Well,

75
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: Blake Coram, who they drafted out of Michigan, looks to

76
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: be the guy, and Blake Corb obviously very spicy talent.

77
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: At Michigan. They got Ronnie Rivers, who was okay in

78
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: spot duty last year, but Kira Williams was their horse

79
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: very interesting setup for the Rams. I listend, I pity

80
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: anyone who took Kirom Williams first round. Maybe he has

81
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: a really good season and he could be electrifying on punts.

82
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: Or McVeigh is just you know, throwing some chum in

83
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: the water to get people a little misdirection, and he

84
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: doesn't really want Williams to return that any punts. But

85
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: this is huge if you drafted Blake Korum and I

86
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: think he shoots up all kinds of draft boards. This

87
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: dudes did break after we recorded with Evan yesterday, so

88
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: we weren't able to address it. But that was a

89
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: really interesting, I thought move. If you're a fantasy guy,

90
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: I get it. If not, well, you know, just be

91
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: happy that you know that information. All right, without further ado,

92
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 2: let's get to our game. Evan Silva from Establish the Run.

93
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: You know a guy Jason likes to think he knows

94
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: everything when it comes to sports. I know what sports

95
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: fans want, but for everything he doesn't. He knows a

96
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: guy who does.

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: Let's just say I know a guy who knows a

98
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: guy who knows another guy.

99
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 2: All right, let's welcome in one of the top fantasy

100
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: guys in the industry. I've known him for a long time.

101
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: He's so dominant at this He's he's the guy. He's

102
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: your favorite NFL reporter's favorite fantasy guy. Evan Silva established

103
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: the run.

104
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: How's it going, man, It's going great, you know, Jason.

105
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: I was actually just going through the emails that we've

106
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: exchanged over the years. And we've been talking for like

107
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: a long time. I mean like maybe twelve years. I

108
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: mean I saw I saw an email that I think

109
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: you sent to me like in twenty eleven or something

110
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: like that. That's a long time of the universe. Bro

111
00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: Oh totally.

112
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think here, have we ever met in person?

113
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: Maybe at a Super Bowl?

114
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,119
Speaker 3: Never, I've never been to a Super Bowl.

115
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: Do you even go for like the week of Hoorah

116
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: and all that fun stuff? I go to the combine,

117
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: the combin Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, see, maybe you go

118
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: down to New World.

119
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: You're in Florida, right, I'm in Chicago.

120
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: Oh is that Newer? Did I just not know that?

121
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: No? You just didn't know that.

122
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a bad job by me. So at least

123
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: things are looking up in your backyard. You guys finally

124
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: have a quarterback. Do you root Bears Evan?

125
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 3: No, I don't. It's a long story. I've lived a

126
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: lot of places in my life. But I so, I like,

127
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: at one point in time I was a Rams fan,

128
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: but then they moved to LA and I'm like, you know,

129
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: an NFL writer, So I remove all by all team

130
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 3: biases anyway. I mean, I would like for the Bears

131
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 3: to be good. Yeah, but I also I also think

132
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 3: that the Bears are going to be good. We have

133
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 3: them as with the softest schedule in the league in

134
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: the first half of the season, it's going to get

135
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 3: annoying how in love this city falls and in with

136
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: the Bears, because they're going to come out the gates

137
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: like five and two, six and one, It's going to

138
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: get annoying. I'm going to like start to not like

139
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: the Bears. Actually, another I think that's interesting.

140
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: So because you think they're going to start hot, are

141
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: you advocating, Like, which of their players do you love?

142
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: In fantasy? I don't even I Caleb is not getting

143
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: taken anywhere near the top or even middle that I've seen.

144
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: I haven't had one draft yet, for the record.

145
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I mean he I think I have him

146
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: as the quarterback nine right now. You know, he doesn't

147
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: he doesn't run as much as other quarterbacks. So he

148
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: did run for a lot of touchdowns in college. He

149
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: had twenty seven rushing touchdowns in three seasons in college.

150
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: But he's not really you know, he's not Jaden Daniels.

151
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: He's not you know, justin field, the Bear's old quarterback, Like,

152
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: he's not going to run for any more than like

153
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: three hundred to four hundred yards, which holds him back

154
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: when we're putting up him up against guys like Kyle

155
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: Murray who's in the same tier. The guy that I've

156
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: actually really come come to love based on his price

157
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: because he goes in the six and seventh round and

158
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 3: he's the clear cut lead back for the Bears. They

159
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: gave him a lot of money. DeAndre Swift. Yeah, they

160
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: are going to use Khalil Herbert and they are going

161
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: to use Roshan Johnson to take some of the load

162
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: off him, but he's easily the most dynamic player in

163
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: the backfield. The favorable schedule is always good for a

164
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 3: lead running back because it's going to give him the

165
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: ball more. They're not going to be in you know,

166
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: comeback scenarios, and even when they are in comeback scenarios

167
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: like DeAndre Swift can catch the football. So he's going

168
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: to be an every down back in what I believe

169
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: is gonna be a top ten, top twelve offense.

170
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the offense is great. The only problem is

171
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: there's so much talent, Like, how do you like last year,

172
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: DJ Moore put up massive numbers. One would have to

173
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: assume even though the quarterbacks improved, because they've got a

174
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: Donze and they got Keenan Allen, dj moore numbers are

175
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: probably going to come down a little.

176
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, But I also you know the DJ Moore

177
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: had one hundred and thirty six targets last season and

178
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: on an offense that was very run heavy and was

179
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: quarterbacked by a worse passer than Kayleb Williams. I'm really

180
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: staying really optimistic on DJ Moore. His ADP is way down.

181
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 3: People are worried for the same reasons that you are.

182
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: He's he's usually drafted like a third fourth round pick.

183
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: I have him rated as a second third round pick,

184
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: and I was really high on him last year too,

185
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: and that really paid all. I mean, I just I

186
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: think DJ Moore is a quiet top ten maybe even

187
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: top five receiver. He was a top five receiver last

188
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 3: year in fantasy.

189
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird. It's bear situation is going to be

190
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: weird because they're going to distribute the ball. I just

191
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: wonder Evan Eberflus. You know, we would assume he's on

192
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: the hot seat right odds to would t be one

193
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: of the first coaches fired if they get along.

194
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: He's also the favorite for Coach of the Year.

195
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 2: No, yeah, I did not.

196
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: I looked he was the favorite for a Coach of

197
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 3: the Year, which he is not going to win, by

198
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: the way, But go ahead.

199
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 2: So you know, historically some of these coaches to keep

200
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: their job. Hey, hey, hey, we got a rookie quarterback,

201
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 2: we got the lead. Let's just grind it out. Let's

202
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: grind out the victory and establish the run in the

203
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: third and fourth quarters with the lead. So I don't know,

204
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: I'm I mean, I know everybody sees there them going

205
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: to be a high scoring team. I don't think they're

206
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: going to keep chucking and ducking when they're up to

207
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: three touchdowns, do.

208
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: You I think that they will be? I mean, also,

209
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: Shane Walder in their offensive coordinator, comes from Seattle, where

210
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 3: he was just under Pete Carroll. I don't think that

211
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: they're going to compete for the NFL lead and pass

212
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 3: attempts or anything like that. I think they're going to

213
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: be fairly balanced. They do have a good run blocking

214
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: offensive line. They've got three running backs that they can use. No,

215
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think that they're necessarily going to

216
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: be a shootout offense, but I think that they're going

217
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 3: to be efficient when they do throw the ball, and

218
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: I think that we'll see I think that odoons is

219
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 3: going to start out kind of slow, just because he's

220
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: going to be behind DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, who's

221
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: a target machine throughout his career. But as the season progresses,

222
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: say something happens with DJ Moore or Keenan al I

223
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: think that odoonse could explode and be an absolute difference

224
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: maker down the stretch.

225
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to mylikue neighbors, who you are

226
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 2: extremely bullish on. It's always tough for me to get

227
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: excited about a receiver who does and have a quarterback. However,

228
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: as you just said, DJ Moore was the top five

229
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: guy last year, maybe elite neighbors can put up those

230
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: kind of numbers, even though his quarterback is terrible.

231
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm ridiculously high on Elite Neighbors. And one of

232
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: the reasons is, look, I think that Daniel Jones is

233
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: good enough to get the ball to a receiver enough

234
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: for that receiver to be a big time producer. And

235
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: I also believe that Brian Dabole is a smart enough

236
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: guy to be able to scheme the offense around Elite

237
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: Neighbors to scheme him away from coverage. They don't have

238
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: any other playmakers. Nikon Barkley is gone. Who knows who's

239
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: going to fill out the rest of their receiver corps.

240
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: They're talking about starting Theo Johnson, a fourth round rookie

241
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 3: out of Penn State. He really didn't do very much

242
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: at Penn State At tight end. Devin Singletary is probably

243
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: one of the most pedestrians starting running backs in the NFL.

244
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: Like Elite Neighbors is going to get like assuming that

245
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: he stays healthy a floor of one hundred and fifty targets.

246
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: I think he could actually lead the NFL and target

247
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 3: share this season, just because they're going to go so

248
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 3: hard on trying to get him the football weekend and

249
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 3: week out and he's been electrifying in training camp and

250
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: on the practice shield. There were a lot of people

251
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: in the league coming out of college that thought that

252
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 3: elite neighbors was better than Marvin Harrison. I mean, yeah,

253
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: I don't.

254
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: I can't get with that. I can't get there. But listen,

255
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: I maybe I haven't seen enough of them.

256
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you're going to see a lot of them

257
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: this year because getting the ball a lot this year.

Speaker 1: listen live.

262
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: I like to look for undervalued players basically, maybe they

263
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 2: didn't perform to expectation last year, or they had like

264
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: an injury. Well, the Jacksonville Jaguars, I think started eight

265
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: and three and then kind of cratered, and everybody now

266
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: is always Trevor Lawrence overrated. And I feel like one

267
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: of my strategies will be, Hey, I don't want to

268
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 2: take a quarterback early. I'm just gonna wait and get

269
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence as my QB one a little later in

270
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: the draft and load up on receivers and running backs.

271
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: Your thoughts on Lawrence, Well, he's gonna be cheap in drafts.

272
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 3: I actually think that that is probably. You know, the

273
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: way that people draft quarterbacks in fantasy football has kind

274
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: of changed over the years. For many years, the winning

275
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 3: strategy was to wait, and then we had like this

276
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 3: influx of quarterbacks that could score. I mean obviously Patrick Mahomes,

277
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: but also quarterbacks like Josh Allen that could score with

278
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 3: their arm and their legs, and they started they've started

279
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: to go early, like over the last couple of years,

280
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: like they would go second, third round. Jalen Hurts is

281
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: another one. Yeah, you know, but people have I don't know,

282
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: and people are still taking those guys early. But I

283
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 3: think the value might go back. It's kind of cyclical,

284
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: and the value might be this year. Just kind of

285
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: take your time. I really like Kyler Murray this year

286
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: as a guy who can score in both ways ways

287
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 3: average or added Marvin Harrison. I think Michael Wilson could

288
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 3: take a step in his second season. Trey McBride, I mean,

289
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 3: they've got some serious weapons. They're not going to be

290
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: able to play defense at all in Arizona. I mean

291
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 3: they've already lost their two best players off the edge.

292
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 3: So they're gonna be in shootout situations, they play in

293
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: a a semi dome, a retractable roof, They're going to

294
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 3: always have good weather. You're never gonna have to worry

295
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: about that. I really like Kyler Murray this year as

296
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: a value.

297
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: How about Anthony Richardson can be a massive running threat,

298
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: but the injuries and I don't know, it feels like

299
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: I can't draft him too high just because I don't

300
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: know if he can complete passes in like for a

301
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: full season or stay healthy. I don't know.

302
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: Well, he played roughly. He appeared in five games last year,

303
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: but he only he played in the equivalent of two

304
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: and a half games in the two games where he

305
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: started and played the vast majority of the game on

306
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 3: the week he finished as the overall quarterback one and

307
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: the overall quarterback four. So that is obviously it's a

308
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: really small sample, okay, And you know, I don't even

309
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 3: know if you could take a whole lot of that,

310
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: But when you what can you what you can take

311
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: away is he's got a really big ceiling. But yeah,

312
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: I mean, can he be I mean, we know he

313
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: could score points with his legs. I mean, he's got

314
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: like Cam Newton kind of ability as a runner two

315
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: hundred and forty four pounds. Shane Ssiken, the Colts head coach,

316
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: comes from Philadelphia, could easily implement that Tush push, which

317
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 3: has led to Jalen Hurts having multiple double digit rushing

318
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: touchdowns in three straight years. You know, Anthy richards Can

319
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 3: Richardson could score ten or twelve rushing touchdowns. To me,

320
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: it's actually a concern for Jonathan Taylor. People want to

321
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: take Jonathan Taylor really early this year, but Anthony Richardson

322
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: has a really low historical pass rate so running backs,

323
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 3: and Jonathan Taylor has never been a big pass catcher,

324
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: and Anthony Richardson could vulture him at the goal line,

325
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: you know, an absurd amount. So it scares me for

326
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor.

327
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: That goal line point is is a good one. I

328
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: wonder if Steichen saw his guy get hurt last year,

329
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: does he say, you know what, I don't want him

330
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: take it too many hits. We don't have h Gardner Minshew.

331
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: Is that we don't have Gardner Minshew anymore as the backup.

332
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: I don't even know who the backup is in Indy,

333
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: and it's like I can't risk him. I'd rather have

334
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: Taylor Bill And again that's we're just speculating, but I mean, hell,

335
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: that's half a fantasy football Well.

336
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: He's you know, he's also seen Jonathan Taylor get injured.

337
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Jonathan Taylor has had struggled with ankle injuries

338
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 3: the past two seasons. To me, like the goal line

339
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: play really should be one of the least riskiest plays

340
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: because everyone's moving slow. You know, Anthony Richardson is not

341
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: going to be taking a massive hit from anybody, ideally

342
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: in a goal line situation. Now, quarterback could get it.

343
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: You know, we saw it one time with Mahomes. Quarterback

344
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: could get you know, his ankle stuck underneath the lineman

345
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: or something like that. So there is some risk there.

346
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: But ultimately, those short yardage and goal line runs for

347
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: a quarterback should be one of the least riskiest runs

348
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: as opposed to getting them out in the open field.

349
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: They take hits, you know, collide with multiple defenders like

350
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

351
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: Didn't he get a concussion of the end zone though

352
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: last year?

353
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah.

354
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: People just want to take shots in him because richards

355
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: is so damn big man. It is. Let's let's stay

356
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: in the division. Houston Texans. How do you handicap this offense?

357
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: Everybody's like, oh, eleven wins Super Bowl, bubbah blah blah blah.

358
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: It's like all right, but when it comes to fantasy,

359
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: they got so many weapons, Like Diggs is going to

360
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: eat from Collins and probably tanked Dell Dalton Schultz is

361
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: good now mixing kind of is going to beat out

362
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: Pierce don't. I don't know where are you on this offense.

363
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 3: I'm just extremely high on it. Early in the off season,

364
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 3: like February, I bet CJ. Strouds will win twenty twenty

365
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 3: four MVP. I got him at twenty to one. I

366
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 3: think he's got one of the fourth or fifth highest odds.

367
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: Now I took the Texans to win the Super Bowl.

368
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 3: I mean this. I loved how they're coached on both

369
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 3: sides of the ball. They did not lose Bobby Slow

370
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: at their offensive coordinat People thought he was going to

371
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: become the head coach in Tennessee. I think he was

372
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: the favorite for that job at one point. They wind

373
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: up going with Brian Callahan. They had the most injured

374
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 3: offensive line in the NFL last year. All those guys

375
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 3: come back, so now they're loaded with depths depth. All

376
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 3: the backups got to play. You know, those guys return

377
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 3: and now they get the starters back. I just think

378
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: they're going to blow it up. Like I think that CJ.

379
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 3: Stroud could easily lead the NFL and touchdown passes, And

380
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: if that kind of thing happens, or even if he

381
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: finishes like top three, all three of the dudes are

382
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 3: going to eat. And your worries, your worries about, oh God,

383
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 3: who's going to get the targets, Like, it's not going

384
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: to matter. If your dudes are scoring touchdowns, They're going

385
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 3: to be in really good position. I think all three

386
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 3: of those guys are going to score touchdowns. All right.

387
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: How do you handle DeVante Adams? Does that have a quarterback?

388
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: There's a world where that schedule has them, I don't know,

389
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: two and seven and all of a sudden, they're like,

390
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 2: let's DeVante Adams get me the hell out of here.

391
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: You know, they don't even have a running game. Unless

392
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 2: you like Zamir White, I don't. I don't know how

393
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: to handle Adams, but he could have a ton of

394
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 2: value if he goes to a contender for your playoff

395
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 2: rush in fantasy.

396
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's a tough thing to bet on because

397
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 3: you know it NFL trades rarely happen, and you know,

398
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 3: and and then you know, are you because you use

399
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 3: your second round pick on DeVante Adams? He didn't give

400
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 3: you anything in the first six games, and he's been

401
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 3: complaining and you know, maybe coming out of the game

402
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: when he's not supposed to, like, are you already buried?

403
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 3: Are you already buried by that point? You know? I'm

404
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 3: just trying to not And I have drafted Demonte Adams

405
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 3: sometimes because he falls. I mean I saw him go

406
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 3: in the fourth round of a two thousand dollars buy

407
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: in high stakes league.

408
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 2: The other day, like thousand dollar league.

409
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 3: Oh boy, yeah, two thousand dollars entry.

410
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: Big money leagues.

411
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean he went to the in the middle

412
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 3: of the fourth round, like people are terrified of a situation.

413
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: I don't blame him. I'm trying not to draft him.

414
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: There is a point in the draft where I would

415
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 3: be willing to take DeVante Adams, but it's you know,

416
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: I'm not taking him in the second round. I think

417
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: it might have to be in the fourth round.

418
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: Actually, by low Deontay Johnson. A lot of people forgot

419
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 2: he's in Carol. I know Bryce Young was abysmal last year,

420
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: but what Canalis did for Baker and previously Gino Smith.

421
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: I don't see why Bryce Young all of a sudden.

422
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 2: I mean remember coming out of college, everybody loved Bryce Young.

423
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: Number one pick for sure, and like now it's total trash, Like,

424
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: come on, he's got to bounce back. So I don't know.

425
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 2: Deontay Johnson, is that like a kid? Does he even

426
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 2: qualify as a sleeper for you?

427
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah he does because he goes in the

428
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 3: eighties and I have him ranked like in the fifties.

429
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a guy that I like drafting, especially

430
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 3: in full PPR. He is just going to get a

431
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 3: ton of targets. They're going to build the passing offense

432
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 3: around him. You look at the target competition that he has,

433
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: it's like nonexistent Xavier look at I mean, I think

434
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 3: he was a reach at the end of the first round.

435
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: Jonathan Mingo didn't do anything last year. Adam Thielen can

436
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 3: still play a little bit, but you know, he's what

437
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: thirty two to thirty three years old at this point.

438
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 3: They don't have anything at tight end, you know. So

439
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: they're going to build the offense around Deontay Johnson. And

440
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 3: he's never been like a big time playmaker with the

441
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 3: ball in his hands or anything like that. But he's

442
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: just going to get the ball so much in Carolina.

443
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: I like him.

444
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 2: So he's like, I'm a leagueighbors situation in Carolina. But

445
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: maybe he has a better quarterback, yes, just.

446
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: Not a dynamic of a player right right. But yeah,

447
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: absolutely a guy who could be up there in the

448
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 3: among the NFL leaders in target share for sure.

449
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: I love Pickens. Last year the Steelers receiver grabbed him,

450
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 2: My brother grabbed him. It was an awesome season for Pickens.

451
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what to make of this quarterback situation

452
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 2: this year, even though now Pickens is the guy they

453
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 2: traded Johnson. Is he a bye for you? A sell or?

454
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: What are you doing with Pickens?

455
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 3: I have Pickens as a cell. And it's not just

456
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 3: a quarterback situation. It's the offensive coordinator Archie smith sucks

457
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 3: who just he loves to run the ball, I mean

458
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: nothing more. I mean I think like Najie Harris could

459
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: lead the NFL and carries this season, especially with Jalen

460
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: Warren hurt right now. You know, I think that they

461
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 3: He's just gonna want to put the ball in Najie

462
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: Harris's belly. And also George Pickens is a guy who

463
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 3: like kind of complains and Arthur Smith ain't going to

464
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 3: put up with that craft you know, so and and

465
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 3: they've been, you know, they've been trying to acquire Brandon

466
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 3: Ayuk as well. What does that say about George Pickens?

467
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: I just are they're going to run the ball so

468
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 3: much that I think Pickens, you know, he will have

469
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: his share a big plays, That's what George Pickens does,

470
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 3: but he's going to be really inconsistent, like some games

471
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 3: with like one catch for eight yards and then he'll

472
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: be complaining the whole rest of the week. And Arthur

473
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 3: Smith is ain't going to put up with that.

474
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: You're obviously too savvy and plugged into fall victim to

475
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: this stuff. But bo Knicks is on fire in the preseason. Yeah,

476
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: Peyton loves him. The hype train has left the station.

477
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: Bo Nicks is starting week one? Are you in on

478
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: Courtland Sutton? It feels like this Tim Patrick stuff where

479
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: Peyton just wants to get out all the old regime dudes,

480
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: Jerry Judy by Tim Patrick Bye. I'm not totally sure

481
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: what's happening there, But how do you handicap the bo Nicks,

482
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: Courtland Sutton, Devonte Williams Javonte Williams situation.

483
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 3: I'm kind of iffy on Courtland Sudden. I don't really

484
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 3: know what to think. You know, there had been like

485
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 3: trade rumors surrounding him. He scored a bunch of touchdowns

486
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: last year, but didn't really have a good year. He

487
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 3: hasn't really had a legitimate good year since he tore

488
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: his ACL and I just don't know really what to

489
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 3: expect him. That was actually kind of a surprise that

490
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 3: they cut Tim Patrick because he had been running with

491
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 3: the starters, like the entire training camp bo Nix. I mean,

492
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: he reminds me of, like, you know, talking about like

493
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 3: a Sean Payton style quarterback, like Teddy Bridgewater, so where

494
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 3: he can be like a quick game specialist. But I

495
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: think they're gonna run the ball a lot. I really

496
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: like Javonte Williams some a JP Ryan is out of there.

497
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 3: I really liked Julia McLoughlin as a change of paceback,

498
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 3: but he's one hundred and eighty seven pounds, so he's

499
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 3: not gonna be able to handle a big work though.

500
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 3: Javonte Williams ken he was very inefficient last year coming

501
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 3: off a double knee ligament tear, but he's further removed

502
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: from that. I really like Davonte Williams. He's someone I've

503
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: been drafting.

504
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 2: Hmm. Everybody wants to know sleepers. Give me a sleeper.

505
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: I'll just say some names and you tell me, you know, yes, no,

506
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: maybe said whatever. The kid Lad McConkey of the Chargers.

507
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 3: I just I don't think the target volume is going

508
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: to be there. I mean, he's a fun player. You know,

509
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 3: he's been hurt a lot in training camp, and they're

510
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: gonna run the crap out of the ball. The Chargers are.

511
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 2: So so so avoid Oh interesting, I hadn't anticipated that.

512
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: Mike Williams for the Jets, who just started practicing again

513
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 2: this week. He is a walking band aid but went healthy. Yeah,

514
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 2: can be a big factor down the field.

515
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 3: Yes he can. And the way that he plays a

516
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: lot of back shoulder stuff that's like Aaron Rodgers red

517
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 3: and butter. So I think he'll be really inconsistent, but

518
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: he's going to mix in some some big games because

519
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 3: he really is an Aaron Rodgers type receiver.

520
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: UH Cincinnati Bengals rookie Jermaine Burton, who has had a

521
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: nice preseason. Jamar Chase still not signed as we record this.

522
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: I think there's a world where he misses the opener

523
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: again the Patriots because they're so heavily favored and he

524
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 2: seems to be drawing the hard line. But Jermaine Burton,

525
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 2: who could emerge as a factor in Cincy.

526
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: Well, he's really talented, but he just has not moved

527
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: up the depth chart yet. He did have that one

528
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 3: really big preseason game, but it was mostly in the

529
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 3: second half against backups. He's really freaking talented. I think

530
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 3: he's a first round talent who fell to the third

531
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 3: round because of like some off field stuff. He just

532
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: has not emerged yet in from a depth chart standpoint.

533
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: They've got Andre Yoshovic Yoshi Vas they call him Yoshi

534
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: running as their third receiver behind Jamar Chase and T Higgins,

535
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 3: So I don't know, maybe later in the season I

536
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 3: could see it for Jermaine Burton.

541
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 2: I did not understand the Johan Dotson trade, but that

542
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 2: kind of opens the door for either Luke McCaffrey or

543
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 2: Diami Brown. Either of those guys jump out as a sleeper.

544
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: We've kind of seen what Diamy Brown has to offer.

545
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 3: I mean, he's been in the league for a few years.

546
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 3: I think that Luke McCaffrey is the guy who could

547
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 3: eventually emerge third round pick out of Rice. You know,

548
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 3: he's got the he's got the blood lines.

549
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, decent. You go to the Vikings. Sam Darnold another

550
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 2: in my quarterback strategy of wait, wait, wait, let me

551
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: grab Donald only because of the coach. I don't know

552
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 2: how the start's going to be with it. Sounds like

553
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 2: Addison may be suspended and Hopkinson's not back yet. But

554
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: you know, by come week six seven, it seems like

555
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: Donald and this offense could hum. I really like Aaron Jones.

556
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: Where are you on Donald and Jones?

557
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been getting a lot of Aaron Jones people

558
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: for some reason are not excited to draft them. Aaron Jones. Look,

559
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 3: he doesn't have the greatest durability history so I think

560
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: you got you got to take ty Chandler along with him.

561
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 3: You can get super late in drafts. I mean, even

562
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 3: if you don't draft Aaron Jones, I think ty Chandler

563
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 3: is a really nice late round sleeper. But I mean,

564
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 3: you know that you're a Jets fan. You know the

565
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: story with Sam Donald. He will absolutely make some awesome

566
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 3: throws and then he will tear your heart out.

567
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 2: You know.

568
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: And look, I think that he you know, he came

569
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 3: into the league so young that I kind of want to,

570
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: you know, keep giving him passes. And he was, dude,

571
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: what's his best receiver ever? Like Dj Moore for five

572
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 3: games at the end of one season with the Pid

573
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 3: Robbie Anderson, freaking Robbie chosen. You remember those offensive lines,

574
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: remember those offensive lines with the Jets, Like he really

575
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: never had a chance, Adam Gase, I mean, get out

576
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 3: of here, Okay. So and now now he's in a

577
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 3: really good situation. Actually, I don't think that Jordan Madison

578
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: is going to get suspended until maybe later later in

579
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 3: the year. We're kind of anticipating him not getting suspended

580
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 3: at all. Justin Jefferson is ready to go. You've got

581
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 3: a good offensive line they play indors. Kevin O'Connell is

582
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 3: an awesome play caller. I think that Sam donald is.

583
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: I bet him at forty to one to lead the

584
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 3: NFL in passing yards. So let's let's get rich this year.

585
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: And buying your wife a big Christmas present with that victory.

586
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: Hackers receivers, I don't think got draft any of them high,

587
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 2: but I feel like I need to have one of

588
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: them on my roster at least because there's just so many.

589
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: It's a bunch of good to above average guys. Wicks, Dobbs, Reid,

590
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: Watson's the stud, but he's never healthy, right Yeah.

591
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 3: The one that that I get the most because I

592
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 3: believe him, I think is the best talent on the

593
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 3: on in the receiver corp is Dantavian Wicks, and he's

594
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 3: the cheapest right now, he is the number four, But

595
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 3: I think if something happens specifically to Christian Watson, it

596
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: seems like something does every year, Dantavian Wicks can jump

597
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 3: into that starting job and never look back. I really

598
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 3: like Dantavian Wicks as a late round guy, and.

599
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: We can start to wind down here. Cleveland Browns, the

600
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson experience has not been pleasant. Most of it's

601
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: been underwhelming. That being said, if Cooper's able to sign,

602
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 2: and they have Cooper, Judy, once Chubb gets back the

603
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 2: offensive line healthy like in Djoku, they got some guys.

604
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: I just don't know if Watson can put it all together.

605
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: No, neither neither do I. Oh. By the way, Cooper

606
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: did sign. They gave him a raise, so nice. Yeah,

607
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: so he's good to go. Uh yeah man. And and

608
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson already pulled up a couple of times with

609
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 3: shoulder soreness or whatever. I just feel like he's a

610
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 3: broken player, if not a broken person at this point.

611
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 3: And I can't wait for Jamis Winston to get in

612
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 3: there around week four and then we will really start

613
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 3: cooking Cleveland Browns. Jamis Winston MVP.

614
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: Oh stop it, Oh my god. Chris o'lave with the Saints.

615
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: I was so disappointed them last year. They cost me

616
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: money multiple times just to I mean, total bed shitting

617
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: by car and that crappy coach Dennis Allen. But Olave like,

618
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: I think he's got the tools. Shaheed seems like a

619
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 2: good player. They love at Perry for some reason. I

620
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: don't know what do you do with this team.

621
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to be very good, but

622
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: I think Chris o'lave is awesome and Derek Carr is

623
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 3: you know, we have our issues with Derek Carr, right,

624
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 3: but he's plenty good and we saw it with the Raiders,

625
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: like he can get the ball to the best receiver

626
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 3: on the field and that's Chris o'lave. So yeah, I'm

627
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 3: not worried about Chris o'lbby. I have as a high

628
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 3: second round pick and very you know, very willing and

629
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 3: confident in drafting him.

630
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: And then the key for me this Miami Dolphins situation,

631
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: the offense is probably going to be cooking again. Most

632
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: are a chan I mean, they got all the guys.

633
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: I do just wonder if it seemed like late in

634
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: the season defenses were catching up to what McDaniel was doing.

635
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: I wonder if he's got another dimension he can bring

636
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: to this offense, because if you look at that like

637
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 2: Raiders game, they couldn't do Jack squat obviously the Chiefs

638
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: playoff game, they just seemed to struggle a little bit

639
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: there at the end. Are you buying any of their

640
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: guys still or no?

641
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: Well, I am buying my McDaniel continuously because I think

642
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 3: that he's innovative enough to figure out, you know, what

643
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: went wrong and you know, make the necessarily corrections. I mean,

644
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 3: he's an innovator. Like the offensive coordinators, offensive play callers

645
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 3: all across the league like imitate Mike McDaniel. You know.

646
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: So I'm not worried about that. What happened. I mean,

647
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: their offensive line crumbled, their defense crumbled, you know, ty

648
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 3: Jalen Wattle had, you know, an assortment of leg injuries.

649
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill got banged up at the end, you know,

650
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: to what's small the winter sets in and they kind

651
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: of die, you know, they kind they kind of die,

652
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 3: And that might happen again this year. But I think

653
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 3: again for the vast majority of the year, like they're

654
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 3: going to absolutely cook. I really like Jalen Wattle was

655
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 3: a consensus second round pick last year. This year because

656
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: he was kind of injury plague this past season, you

657
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: can usually get him in the fourth round. I love

658
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 3: taking Jalen Wattle and then if something really happens to

659
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill, who by the way, is thirty and a

660
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: half years old, now you know, jal Model could be

661
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 3: a league winner.

662
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Evan, how many leagues are you in? I mean,

663
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 2: is it just too many? Counter?

664
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 3: No? No, I actually cut back this year. I'll probably

665
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 3: end up being in like, like somewhere between seven to nine.

666
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm playing more higher stakes stuff as opposed

667
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 3: to just, you know, grinding a million drafts, which I've

668
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: done in the past, which sometimes, you know, sometimes it's great,

669
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 3: but no, Yeah, I like to be able to focus

670
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 3: on know who's on my rosters, No, know who's on

671
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: my teams, know who I want to root for a

672
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 3: week in and week out.

673
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: And I have to ask you a question. So I'm

674
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: in the Fox Fantasy League last year and I stirred

675
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 2: up some controversy. I was in the playoffs. Another guy

676
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: who had been eliminated had the Tampa bay Bucks defense

677
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: on his bench. The Tampa bay Bucks defense is nothing

678
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 2: to write home about. I felt I found an edge

679
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: in their like week fifteen game or whatever it was.

680
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: So I sent a message to the guy, Hey, what's up, dude.

681
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 2: I didn't even know the guy. I was like, Hey,

682
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: you know, to Tampa Bay Bucks defenses on your bench,

683
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: they're not getting used. Would you mind dropping them so

684
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: I can pick them up? They're not good, They're not

685
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: like a top ten defense, and I'll pick them up.

686
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: And one guy just lost his mind in the league

687
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: and was like, this is outraged ball. Whatever, it didn't matter.

688
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: I want anyway without getting the bucks. But is that

689
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: out of bounds to ask somebody to drop a middling

690
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 2: to below defense that nobody else was gonna Like, nobody

691
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: else would have picked them up if they were on

692
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: the waiver wire. And I'm not just saying I'm smarter

693
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: than everyone, but go ahead, go ahead.

694
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 3: I think that it is. You're kind of there's a

695
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 3: little bit of collusion involved, but I think it's actually

696
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: that's right where the limit is. That's right where you

697
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 3: draw the limit. I would say that's okay. It's not great.

698
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 3: You don't want to make a habit of that kind

699
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 3: of shit, right, But I do think that that's okay,

700
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: especially if no, I mean, the guy dropped them and

701
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 3: you picked them up, like you know, or whatever, however

702
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 3: it went well.

703
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: I wanted him to drop the bucks, but he did.

704
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 3: Think I think it's I think it's okay. Oh oh,

705
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: you didn't even do it. Yeah, I mean, it's kind

706
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 3: of close to the boundary, But I actually think it's okay.

707
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I mean, look, you got to push the

708
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: envelope if you want to win. I didn't think it

709
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: was something. I mean what, I didn't win the championship.

710
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: I any think I finished third. But so of course

711
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 2: this year they have all these new rules in place,

712
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: the JMAC rules. They're calling them no people to drop

713
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 2: because I'm like, all right, fine whatever. Anyways, all right, buddy,

714
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 2: good luck, right, keep up the good work. You're crushing

Speaker 2: it online. Man. How's a business going? How's it being

716
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:25,760

717
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm I'm a I'm a huge small business guy.

719
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 3: I try to I try to give it back any

720
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 3: any way that I can pay it forward to other

721
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,560

734
