Now, here's your host, Paul. Welcome to 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.840 Fantasy Football Weekly, not quite a super Bowl edition one 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.040 week away. I am Paul Charchy and my co host 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:37.000 today Brian Johnson, Today again every day every week. Matt, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:41.120 Matt and Fish dead dead. We gotta get them back 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.040 on the show. We missed them. Our brethren and Fantasy 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.360 Football Weekly, thank you for joining us. There's a lot 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:50.280 to get to. Uh today we're thinking about Okay, it's 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.240 the Super Bowls next week. We're gonna break down the 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.400 super Bowl next week and all excruciating detail. I still 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.960 need time to just like decompress from my Bengals stunning. 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.200 How about that. You must be feeling pretty good. It 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.959 was even a long three years you and Bengals before others, 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.920 before it was cool to go Bengals. You deserve this win. 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.119 You know. It's admittedly a bit of a bit, but 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.440 I still for the Bengals. But real, congrats to the 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.200 the long suffering fan base, and I know I'm talking 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.000 to you akings fans, so you're very sympathetic to that. 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.680 They'll get there some day. We get there again someday. 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.120 I should say it wasn't the outcome I expected. I 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.520 just thought beating Patrick Mahomes and Arrowhead that they might 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.160 be a year away, that Burrow wouldn't necessarily be up 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:40.119 to that. Uh. Patrick Mahomes bombed that second half. And 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.480 this is good. Honestly, it's good for the NFL because 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.920 now we've got it's not just Patrick Mahomes. You know, 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.000 all roads don't go through Patrick Mahomes all the time, right, 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.680 you know, we've got what seems like it is going 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.480 to be an epic dog fight in the playoffs for 0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:01.000 years between Mahomes and Borrow and Josh Allen and then 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.680 hopefully Justin Herbert kissed there as well, and the Chargers 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.360 get elevated into this because man, this is some great 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.480 quarterbacking in the a f C. Now, yeah, the a 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:14.640 f C is loaded for years quarterback the NFC quite 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.880 the opposite. Now, Tom Brady out, Rogers probably out of 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:22.280 the conference. You go figure Tennessee, Tennessee is a possibility 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:28.720 Pittsburgh is a possibility. We'll talk about all that. So 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.560 what are we doing today, Brian were here, We're two 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.239 minutes into this. We haven't even talked about what we're 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.640 doing today. Um, we thought it'd be fun to just 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.720 already work through a week how we think a first 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.560 round for next year. We'll go and what will be interesting, Brian, 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.880 is much later in the in the summer, when we're 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:49.600 doing this exercise again. We'll go back to February early 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.680 February and see how much things have changed our first 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.400 blush look. And there's a lot of variables with us 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.520 because we don't know where players are gonna land yet. 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.400 Who's gonna be ware, So you know, there's still a 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.520 lot of a lot of questions, hopefully in the super 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.799 Bowl either because there's a couple of couple of guys. Yeah, 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.200 but hey about that. Best ball season has started. People 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:17.120 are drafting already. I am one of them cats already. 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:22.360 Do I love it? There's for some people there is 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.240 no offseason, including the show. We're here every week Fantasy 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.080 Football Weekly. Thank you for joining us. So we're gonna 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.960 work through our first round of a far too early 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.720 mock draft, and you know, I've I wanted to you, 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:37.320 and I did art we you and I did our 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.160 own mock drafts people are gonna hear. And then I 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.080 did some googling to just see how it laid out 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:47.480 compared to the competition. And as usual, we differ from 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.640 many other people that are already that have already done 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.280 this exercise in some fascinating ways. We'll talk through that 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.280 a little bit as well. I had the first pick, 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:58.280 Brian Yep, and the first pick is this is gonna 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.480 be the consensus number one pick in virtually every single 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.840 draft without variation, Jonathan Taylor. He outscored the next best 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:11.080 fantasy scorer, Austin Ekeler, by a margin of almost and 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.440 he was fifty better then the tenth ranked running back 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:21.080 Corridorol Patterson fifty more points. And there's little reason to 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.920 believe that the Colts offense will be any worse next 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.440 year unless they just like Jettison Carson Wentz and then 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.440 just rebuild at the quarterback position. I think is the 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:34.760 only possible scenario where this offense gets worse. Jettison, Jettison, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.920 ng Carrison Wentz could be additioned by a subtraction. I 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.040 don't get who they bring in. I mean that's not true. 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.120 Wentz was people rag on Wentz way too much. He 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:50.320 was he was capable quarterback for most of this season. Yes, 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.000 it's if you're starting over, who knows who you're getting. 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.760 Maybe it's Jimmy Garoppolo. Let's say it's Garoppolo. This team 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.920 is like, you know what, We've got a great power, 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.200 great power running game, We've got a good defense. We're 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.920 gonna bring in Garoppolo for a third round pick. Yeah, 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:09.000 that's the ladder moved best. Yeah, well that's what I say. Okay, enough, 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:14.640 Carson went You look Jonathan Taylor talk because it's too obvious. Alright, 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.839 So then you were up on pick number two, and 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.840 I think already at pick two, you can go like 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:24.360 five directions on this. I know universally it's more one player, 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.680 but you and I both agree that we wouldn't take 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.360 that guy. Here. Who are you taking number two? I'm 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.719 reaching a little bit. Uh, He's still gonna be a 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.000 first round pick in pretty much every draft. But I'm 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.960 taking If I'm on the clock at number two, I'm 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.599 taking Austin Ekeler, who's third and fantasy points per game 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:45.400 among running backs only Jonathan Taylor and Derrick Henry averaged more. 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:49.159 Eckler was one of three amongst the along with those 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.120 two other guys who average twenty plus points in PPR 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.080 per game among running backs. Going into the last season, 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.440 people were worried he wouldn't get goal line work right 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.919 wrong and like almost all of it. Fifth among running 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.320 backs and carries inside the five, he had twelve. He 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.760 scored on seven of those. That's a great rate success 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:14.520 rate receiving wise, seventy catches, six fifty yards, eight receiving touchdowns. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:18.039 He missed the game, he was limited in the following games, 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.120 so even play a full season. But I'm not I 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.760 don't consider him to be, you know, an injury concern 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.560 or soft or anything like that. And uh turns twenty 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.880 seven in May. Uh really a lot of tread on 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.000 the tires. He was not like he's been. Yeah, for sure, 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.640 so he might get his most usage in this coming 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.040 season and then last not but not least. He loves 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:42.320 fantasy football to right. You understand the importance of scoring points, 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.680 which I appreciate. So Austin Ekeler number two, you know 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.680 I don't have a problem with that, particularly to PPR 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.760 league especially don't most people would have taken Derrick Henry here. 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.200 I would not have. I just think I want to 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.320 get out a year two early on Derrick Henry, and 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.400 I worry that at the beginning of the ends, you know, 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.080 at the beginning of the ends coming we always do, 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.520 all those carries would catch up. Now, he's also a 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.679 totally special guy, and we'll talk. He will be taken 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.599 in the first round, so we'll talk more about him later. 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.920 But I'm with you, I would not have taken him 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.240 in pick number two. You took Austin Ekeler pick number three. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.640 I'm up. In our mock first round, I would go 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:19.520 just based on what we know today in February, I 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.800 would go to Vante Adams over Cooper Cup. I think 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.440 there's a lot of scenarios where Adams is still valuable here. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.560 And obviously we don't know what's going on Rodgers yet, 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.120 but for this moment their teammates. Now, he may be 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.760 playing with Aaron Rodgers someplace, someplace he's with Aaron Rodgers. 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.720 That could be Grim Bay, it could be somewhere else 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.280 where they go together. Is not is a real scenario 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:45.920 that could happen someplace as an example, if Denver does 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.840 trade for Aaron Rodgers, uh, then Adams goes with him, 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:54.800 and you would expect that like Jerry Judy or both 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.360 or something would come back, would come back to the Packers. 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.200 So that's possible, and that's a good outcome for Davante him. 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.720 You go number three. He if he hits free agency, 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.400 and I think he will, Davante Adams could be playing 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.960 for another great quarterback. He can pick his destination. You know, 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.320 he can decide I want to go any police he 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.680 wants uh, and he could find a destination of a 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.680 great quarterback. Then that would also validate Davante Adams being 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.680 picked number three. He could hit free agency and he 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.880 could sign for a bunch of money, just take the money. 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.400 He could go Kenny Golladay on it. That would be 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.640 bad if he just like goes to a bad team 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.360 with the bad quarterbacks. He's there for the money and 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.120 he's just like I'm taking my pay day like Kenny 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.360 Golladay did. That would be a bad scenario and he 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:37.200 would not work out and he won't stay at number three. UM. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.600 In theory, the Packers could franchise him that, but they're 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.079 fifty one million over the cap. How can they franchise anybody, 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.760 So I don't think they're gonna be able to franchise him. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:48.720 So I don't think he ends up. I don't think 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.520 he ends up staying in Green Bay Um and the 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.320 franchise tag anyway. So I think there's a lot of 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.199 scenarios where Davante Adams remains viable at pick number three, 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.440 and I would take him over Cooper Up because of 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:05.720 the long term success that Davante Adams has had and 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.200 based on what we know right now. What a great 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:12.880 segue too, Gotta I gotta go Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:17.160 here if I'm picking forth average the most Fantasy points 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.520 per game in PPR among all players, that's even quarterbacks. 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.720 Something just an absolutely ridiculous season for Cup. I don't 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.280 know if he can repeat these numbers, are to better them, 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.880 that would surely be something else. Um turns twenty nine 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.679 in June. Let's getting there. But we're talking redraft or 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.600 not about his nine is just fine. He's young, he's 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.400 right in his prime. A couple of concerns is Odell 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:47.000 Beckham becoming more integrated into the offense. Uh, We've seen 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.000 it through the leader part of the season, into the 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.880 playoffs and certainly in the off season that will happen. 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.520 Robert Woods likely to come back, but still, the Cup 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.760 is just such a safe play with elite upside, and 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:04.439 I'm happy to Stafford. Stafford is still very very viable, 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.360 obviously playing in the Super Bowl, very very viable for 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.040 the next several years. Does fingers crossed for all those 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.080 players in the big game no one gets seriously injured. 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.439 The number five player in our far too early first 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.480 round mock draft is nause Harris. Now you know I 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.360 don't love taking running backs in the middle of the 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.120 first round because I can usually get a surefire elite 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.400 wide receiver. And if it weren't you, I was drafting 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.920 with Cooper, Cup would probably be here, or Davon Dandams 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.000 probably be here. But um, with Adams and Cup off 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.760 the board, I think Harris is at a point where 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.840 I would take him. His rookie year showed every trade 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.520 of an elite scoring running back. He was number one 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.640 among all running backs in snap percentage, so he was 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.120 on the field constantly. He was number three and opportunities 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:55.640 per games, total touches per game, and it's it's carries. 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.520 Hargargets carries and targets. He uh and we knew he 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.480 could catch. We knew he could catch, but nobody expected 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:09.560 him to lead all runners and targets. And he played 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.920 seventeen games, so it showed plenty of durability. The Steelers 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.439 offense was completely broken, and Nazi Harris still finished third 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:21.440 in fantasy points scored among runners. If the Steelers offense 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.440 gets better, they address their offensive line, maybe they get 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.800 a quarterback who's better than Ben Roethlisberger in his last season, 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.120 then Harris has the upside to be the highest scoring 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.719 running back in fantasy football. Yeah, I like it. I 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.800 like to pick all right, let's get pick number six 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.000 in our first round mock draft. He touched on him earlier. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.640 It's still time or it is time for Derrick Henry. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:49.000 He's still a viable first round selection average, very viable average, 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.040 the most fantasy points per game among running backs last 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.800 season of courtingly played in the eight games broke his foot, 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.319 came back for the divisional playoffs. Probably shouldn't have. I 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.000 don't know if the game script just didn't go his 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.040 way or whatever. Looked a whole lot better, but anyway 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.560 did look better. At least he had that one long run, 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.839 the steel will be out of his foot. He'll be fine, 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.839 he'll be good to go. Come to take that out, 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.120 or they leave it in. It's supposed it's it's I 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:16.560 think it's still in there now, but it will it 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.040 will be, it will be out. It's it's not. It's 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.920 one of those things that they left in. No, I 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.880 think I think they will take it out eventually. That was. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.120 I think I'd rather have the plate my foot because 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.640 now I get the stability of the plate. I can 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.199 kick guys with that. You know, it just seems like 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.960 a tough guy move leave the plate in. I have 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.200 two screws in my elbow since I'm fourteen years old, 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.120 and yeah, what happened? I like being bionic, Uh pick 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:42.360 up football, tackle football and you just dislocate your elbow 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.079 or something. Piece of bone chipped off and they had 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:50.440 to screw it in, big piece of bone. If I 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.800 wore a cast, they said it was like broken elbow 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:58.559 for like six to eight weeks. Go back in. They're like, oh, sorry, 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.680 it was, and this is what we should have done 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.920 the first time. Yeah, as a as an eighth grader, 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.600 that was. That was brutal, like doubled or tripled your 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.280 cast total cast time pretty much. But I'm bionic now, 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.240 which is kind of cool. But that is super cool. 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.520 But back to Derek, I don't even know what bionic 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.199 means because you're too young to remember, like the Bionic 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.679 Man and the Bionic Woman, because that was when I 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:23.040 was a kid. I've never watched those shows a whole lot, 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:24.480 and I'm not as young as you think I am. 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.920 I wish I was. But there's also a Nintendo game 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.320 Bionic Commando, I belive. Yeah, I think that's right, all right, 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.680 So that's your reference point, got it? But uh, steel 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.160 or not, Derrick Henry is still bionic. Turns twenty eight 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.000 turned twenty eight last month. Again, I'm not worried about 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.240 the foot. Dante Foreman we sort of talked about is 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.240 an unrestricted free agent, so he might be there, and 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.520 he's an insurance policy you can grab in later rounds. 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.880 One's too excited about him, if you want to talk hand. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.600 I do like that strategy if if he stays with Tennessee. 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.920 So Derrick Henry still a pretty safe pick. Uh, but 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.600 he's probably gonna go earlier in most drafts. But I 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.560 like him at six more than two, three four range. 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.360 We're gonna take a quick break when we come back 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.920 the second half of our far too early first round draft. 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.040 Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly Segment number two. We ran 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.960 through the first six picks of the first round of 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.240 our far too early mock draft. It is Jonathan Taylor, 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.640 Austin Ekeler, Davante Adams, then Cooper Cup now G Harris, 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.720 and rounding out the top six, Derrick Henry. Uh, most 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.840 people of Derrick Henry going to we've got here Mary 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.840 sliding to six. It'll be interesting to see if either 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.720 of if either of us gets talked into moving Henry 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.880 back up. Um, and that'll be It'll be tempting throughout 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.840 the course of the summer, but I try not to 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.440 yield to the pressure of the consensus. We'll see if 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:58.680 it happens. Let's pick up on pick number seven. I 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.040 would go try have as Kelsey at pick number seven. 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.520 You know what I'm fond of saying, Brian. You know 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:11.920 who's regretted drafting Travis Kelsey? No, nobody ever. Yeah. He 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.160 had a quiet stretch from roughly Halloween to mid December, 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.520 and during that stretch he only scored two times. But 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.680 then he roared back to form from Christmas forward, including 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.520 a very strong playoff run, even after scoring just two 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:27.280 times in that in that eight weeks span, Mark Andrews 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:31.240 barely beat him out on Fantasy points and Kelsey did 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.360 have that long dry streak. And I just the other 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:35.600 part of it is, I don't know Mark. I don't 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.840 know Mark Andrews quarterback is gonna be this thing with 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:43.680 that's lingering out there. Jamal sorry not Jamal Lamar Jackson's 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:45.720 fifth year. He does not want to play in his 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.800 rookie deal going into his fifth year, so there's going 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.440 to be something that happens there and I don't know 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.520 for sure how that's gonna play itself out yet. So 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.360 right now, I just want the highest scoring tight end. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.120 It's the greatest position to need. Kelsey is always super safe. 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.640 Yeah thirty two next season, um, which tories me a 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.760 little bit. And I understand if people want to take 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.520 a different, younger tight end. But at the end of 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.880 the day, Kelsey's got Patrick Mahomes just I just don't 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:15.320 see the downside. And he's a wide receiver. He his 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.640 snaps are from the slaughter out wide. He's not He's 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.960 like a Kyle pittslie effectively that way. Alright, pick number 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.760 eight of our two early first round. Alright, another guy 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.400 we hope gets through the Super Bowl unscathed, and that's 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.200 Jamar Chase. I would take with the eighth pick. Last 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.960 year a DP of seventy three that was wide receiver 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.800 nine based off of bogus reports and training camp. From 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.240 training camp if you couldn't separate, had a couple of drops. 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.320 In the preseason, he was the third Chase off the 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:50.160 board in Fantasy behind Chase Edmonds and Chase Clavable. Certainly 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:54.040 not the case this year. H one. He was eighteen 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.520 and targets among wide receivers just one. I mean, that's 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.080 pretty good, but we expect more targets for him in 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.160 his second year. But he finished fourth in yards and 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:06.120 third in touchdowns at the position. His quarterback is obviously elite. 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.560 They have a special connection. Uh really, if if it 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.199 wasn't for Tee Higgins, I think Jamar Chase would be 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.240 the consensus wide receiver one. Probably, but there's plenty to 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.280 go around between Tee Higgins and Jamar Chi. Higgins may 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:22.600 make him better because he can't afford to put role 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.439 massive amounts of coverage to Jamaar Chase. Absolutely right. So 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.000 I had Jamar Chase, I don't have a problem with that, 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.520 and that's I would have taken him there as well. 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.080 Number nine pick is a boring, safe selection in the 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.840 first round. Justin Jefferson. He's proven to be an elite 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:44.080 talent and and and more importantly and incredibly reliable fantasy producer. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.040 You don't get the crazy highlight plays that Jamar Chase 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.720 has out of Justin Jefferson. But at the end of 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.840 the day, like the end of every Sunday, eight catches 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.720 ninety yards at a touchdown. And again I like I 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.680 as we like to say, you can lose your season 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.959 in the first round easier than you can make it. 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:08.080 I like safe, high end producers. Justin Jefferson, super safe. 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:12.240 Kirk Cousins very likely. I believe to stay in Minnesota. 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.000 Um nobody has said this, and I don't know this, 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:17.920 but I believe that that was part of the deal 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:22.719 with Kevin O'Connell was can you work with Kirk Cousins 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:24.240 for at least one year. Remember those two have a 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:28.800 history going back to Washington where they they Kevin O'Connell 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.560 was his quarterback for its last season in Washington, and 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.120 I think the answer was yes. And that was part 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.000 of the reason that they hired Kevin O'Connell was they 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.479 felt like O'Connell has a chance to maximize cousins in 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:42.000 a way that the the Mike Zimmer administration did not. 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.959 So anyway, plenty of plenty of good quarterbacking, a great player, 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:49.400 a safe pick at number nine. Justin Jefferson, who did 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.480 you take at pick number ten? So if I'm looking 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.040 at the available players, uh, if I have the tenth pick, 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.119 there are like five running backs you can make an 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.840 argument for taking with the tenth pick. You don't want 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:02.440 to start running back running back in a draft. So 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:04.560 I'm not gonna take your running back here, because I'm 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:06.440 gonna get one of those five guys on the way 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.400 back in round two. And I'm gonna take Deebo Samuel 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:15.960 because well, dude's amazing, amazing nearly eighteen hundred combo yards 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:20.639 last year, rushing, receiving fourteen combined touchdown touchdowns. He didn't 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.639 become the weapon he is until the second half of 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.879 the season. He only had six total carries through his 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.520 first eight games. Now, granted, when the carries went up, 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:31.840 the targets went down a little bit, but which is true. 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.080 But he did a lot with the image of those 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:37.480 carries behind an amazing offensive line. Just turned twenty six 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.600 years old, entering his prime years. Uh, likely Trey Lance 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.840 will being upgraded quarterback. Maybe they worked out of trade 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.600 for Trey Lance with the Vikings that get something like 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.159 that might happen. Probably I don't think so. But debo 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:54.360 just he's gonna between catching and rushing, He's gonna touch 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:57.280 the ball I guaranteed twelve to fifteen times a game 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.399 at least. It seems like the find a wide receiver 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.840 who does that? Yeah, and uh, there's quite a cliff 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.000 at wide receiver. There's a couple more that are kind 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:06.880 of the tier of the guys we've taken that will 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:08.520 go in the second round, But you really want to 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.919 lock down a primo receiver in the first or mid 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:15.800 second round. So they're already Niners already shopping Jimmy Garoppolo. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:20.480 He's gone. Tray Lance is the guy if Trey Lance. 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:22.440 If they didn't think Trey Lance was gonna be pretty 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:25.520 damn good, I don't think they'd be shopping Garoppolo because 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.240 He's under a very team friendly deal, and they'd want 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.080 to have some instulation in case Trey Lance flops. And 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.600 there's a real chance, a little bit like how Patrick 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.360 Mahomes got no time his first year, but they knew 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:38.720 what they had. I mean, there's a chance right now 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.160 the Niners know what they got in Trey Lance. Think 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:45.320 of how creative they have already been with Debo with Garoppolo. 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:51.199 But now you throw Trey Lance back there. You know, 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.639 Deebo Samuel has the upside of being the highest scoring 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:56.120 player in fantasy football, which is something you rarely say 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.680 about a wide receiver, but he does. Let me answer this, 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:04.840 ask you this, what if Deebo Samuel is ruled to 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.359 be a running back? What if, like cor Darrel Patterson, 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:12.480 there is a preseason position change. If Deebo Samuel is 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:16.680 a running back next August, are you still drafting him 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:24.440 at ten? Yeah? Probably? Um. Some sites, you know, like Yahoo, 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.720 a lot, they will give dual eligibility a lot of 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.440 as they should. I don't think they will. I think 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.560 there's a chance he gets running back wide receiver eligibility 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.280 in Yahoo, but I don't think most sites will move 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:39.720 Debo to running back would change for you. I see, 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:41.320 I think he's got a little more values of wide 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.639 receiver because maybe not, because you know, running back is 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.720 running back to harder position to fill. Guys come and 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:49.520 go all the time, they can hurt all the time. 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.240 You might have a little more value as a running back. Yeah, 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:55.239 it's it's pretty much a coin flip. Really, it's not 0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:58.679
