1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Hello, fantasy fans, Welcome to NFL Fantasy Live. I'm Jason

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Smith alongside Adam Rank, Michael Fabriano, and the Admiral Barbaja Bimia.

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: Ready to take you through another season for fantasy dominance.

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Maybe you've had your draft, maybe your draft is coming up.

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: We'll cover everything you need over the next few minutes

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: here on NFL Fantasy Live. So, fabs, I've know you've

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: done a thousand draft so far. Give me your favorite

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: pick from any one of your drafts? Still have like

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: four left? Uh? In our Experts league last week, I

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: took Tom Brady in the seventh round. I mean that

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: is an absolute steal. And in the same draft, I

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: took Jimmy Graham in the third round. So I'm not

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: saying you guys are in trouble in that league. But

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: you guys are in troubling that league. I've seen the

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: rest of your roster where it's pretty good. Right. What

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: about yours? What's your favorite pick? You know? I like

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano. I participated in my league of record on

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: Sunday night. And by league of record, I mean the

19
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: league I care the most about. This is my friends

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: from Crona California. I got Jimmy Graham as well on

21
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: the third round. Just a fantastic fine. You know, you

22
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: look at it. When you get Jimmy Graham in the

23
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: third round, it's like he's your number one receiver because

24
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: I have Randall Cobb in there too, so he essentially

25
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: becomes my number two receiver. Jimmy Graham gonna have a

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: big game, you know. For me, you know, since I'm

27
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: out of the league, this is the league that I

28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: care most about because it's in front of the prime

29
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: time everybody gets to see me on the lights, see

30
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: how I'm playing, how I pick. So for me, my

31
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: favorite pick was Reggie Bush because I felt like when

32
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: I got to that third round, it was a real

33
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: good twist between Frank Gore or Reggie Bush, and I thought,

34
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna go with a guy, of course,

35
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: who hasn't been asked prominent as Reggie excuse me as

36
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. I'm gonna go with Reggie Bush. And Reggie

37
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Bush to me, I think it's gonna win me a

38
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: lot of games this year. Alright, Reggie Bush, We've got

39
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys here. You haven't heard the name

40
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: of a guy you want a draft, don't worry, We'll

41
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: get to him. And if you still haven't signed up

Speaker 1: for our latest headlines and we start with a new

48
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: notable cuts as team's finalized their fifty three man rosters

49
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: over the weekend. The big thing here you see Jonathan

50
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Dwyer expected to see some time with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

51
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: No longer with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That running game in

52
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: the hands of Isaac Redman and Felix Jones at least

53
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: for now. To levy On Bell comes back. Some other

54
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: guys out there, Austin Colleie we thought could catch on,

55
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Vince Young was going to be the number two quarterback

56
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: for the Packers. That didn't work out, fabs. When it

57
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: comes to the Steelers running game now it's Isaac Redman

58
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: is Felix Jones? What do you think? It doesn't matter

59
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: who starts because quite honestly, this is a backfilm committee.

60
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: This went from a situation where there was a lot

61
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: of upside with Levian Bell to a situation that is

62
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: going to be an absolute headache from a fantasy respective,

63
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 1: both Felix Shows and Redman need to be owned in

64
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: ten or twelve fleet leaves. But I don't know if

65
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm starting these guys. I have very little faith in

66
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: either one of them. I draft Levian Bell and not

67
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: hold them on your definitely. Yeah. I took him late,

68
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: hoping that he can come through. Form me if he can,

69
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: if you can hold the spot. Sure. Keith Miller activated

70
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: from the pup list. Good news. That means the Steelers

71
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: think he can come back sooner than the first few

72
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. Ben Roethlisberger's favorite red zone target

73
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: should be draft in a to the leagues. But then again,

74
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do it, make sure you have a backup,

75
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: because even though he is practicing, he likely won't play

76
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: for at least the first couple of games. Terrell Prior

77
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: running with the Ones in Oakland, numerous media reports have

78
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: confirmed that is what is going on with Terrell Bryor

79
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: fab What does it do for his value. I love

80
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: Terrell Prior because he can run the football. He is

81
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: my two thousand and thirteen Klin Kaepernick, alright, or back

82
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: when I went with Tim Tebow. I love Prior because

83
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: he can run. I would draft him ahead of Joe Flacco,

84
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: ahead of Alex Smith, ahead of Philip Rivers. Why because

85
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: he has upside? Well, I would say pump the brakes there.

86
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Just because he's a running quarterback doesn't mean he's going

87
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: to be has have fantasy value. I don't like to

88
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: work Torrell Prior to be drafted. Oh, I don't know, buddy.

89
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski participated in full practice Sunday, also practiced on

90
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: Monday with the Patriots. His return might not be imminent.

91
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: They're thinking possibly between week three and week seven for Gronzo.

92
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: Where do you draft them off far? You know, I

93
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: still stay away from Rob Gronkowski, But a lot of

94
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: people are going out there with that faith now that

95
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: you're knowing. So you get him in the fifth round,

96
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, fifth, the sixth round, that's where you want

97
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: to take a guy like Rob con Cowsey. Don't take

98
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: him any earlier than they'd be pointed out. He played

99
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: just eleven games last year. Still finished second among pet

100
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: ends and Fantasy points Square. Other tight end news the Broncos,

101
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas, the surprise winner of Denver starting spot at

102
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: the position according to the team's website for Portland State

103
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: basketball player, beat out Jacob Tammy and Joel Greeson for

104
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: that role. Rank How draftable was Julius Thomas Not draftable

105
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: at all? Because you look at what the Broncos have

106
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: on offense and god West Welker joining the Marius Thomas

107
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: and Eric Decker. I find it hard to get excited

108
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: for a guy with little experience coming in there, and

109
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: there's too many guys to throw the ball out two.

110
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: But everybody agrees he had if he needed to talented kid,

111
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: but he's in the wrong situation to break out for

112
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: fantasy or that's a lot of traffic there, guys. We

113
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: had our annual Experts League Draft this past Friday. Let's

114
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: take a look at the first round of Mr nksits.

115
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: Who are the reigning Experts League champion two out of

116
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: the last three years they capped this thing for us. Oh,

117
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 1: you know what, first round, everybody's looking pretty strong. Adrian Peterson.

118
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: Now when you go back to NFL Fantasy Draft Week

119
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: and some other charity events that we've been doing. I

120
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: have not found a league where Adrian Peterson has not

121
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: going number one overall. The big question who goes number two?

122
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,679
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch goes right here. The NFL dot Com fantasy

123
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: users chose him. Arian Foster drops all the way down

124
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: to number five. Michael Fabiano is not scared off. Shaw

125
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: McCoy went ahead of me, though I'm a little worried. Now,

126
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: let me introduce you to a man who said with

127
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: the first overall pick, I'm gonna shock the world and

128
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. Yeah, and I did shock the world because

129
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: I did what everybody expect me to do. Take Adrian

130
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: Peterson because you know that he is going to be

131
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: the man there for the Minnesota Vikings. You don't believe

132
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: it or not. I do believe that Greg Jennings will

133
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: allow him to get to that yard mark. The said

134
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: just because he's incredible and a solid wide receiver. That

135
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: won't I mean that would allow them not to stack

136
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: the box against Adrian Peterson. Adrian Peterson is going to

137
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: be a beast this year, just yards. Although I did predict,

138
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: though personal, that he will run for three thousand yards.

139
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: That's right. I tweeted it out. I said it, Hayter,

140
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: did you say that said I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. Peterson,

141
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: we're talking about you're feeling good picking number two, thinking

142
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: Arian Foster is going to be your guy. But we

143
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: watched him fall down the draft fabs for the season.

144
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: He looks to be fine, but early on there's probably

145
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: you could Split's been a lot of things going on.

146
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: What do you make it work? I'm not worried about

147
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Arian Foster whatsoever. Okay, and you know why I'm not

148
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: worried about him because I've got running back death and

149
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: guess what, I've got Bentaid on that roster too. I

150
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: handcuffed him to my man, Arian Foster. I have a

151
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: snoozling suspicion that Foster is going to come out and

152
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: play extremely well and we're all gonna forget about all

153
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: this Huie and apple sauce that Dave Damage likes to

154
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: talk about. With Foster's injuries, I cannot let him fall

155
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: pass the fifth overall pick. I just can't do it.

156
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: He's been the best running back in Fantasy over the

157
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: last three years combined. Can't do it. I love guys

158
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: who ignore the facts. And yes, is that he's been

159
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: the best running back in Fantasy over the last three

160
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: years because his yards per carry have dropped in the

161
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: last three years, his average yards perception have dropped. The

162
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: last fished, third and Fantasy places. This is going to

163
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: be an explosive offense too. I'm with Fassy. I mean,

164
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: you can't let him drop belottle Bit that fifth pick

165
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: right there. You gotta steal right there, and if anything,

166
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: that's probably how you're gonna be dominant over these guys,

167
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: not me, but over these calls. Now you're still with

168
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: with Marshawn Lynch, Doug Martin over Arian Foster. No, just

169
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. Marshawn Lynch I think is the safest running

170
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: back outside of Adrian Peterson. Doug Martin has rushed for

171
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: at least fifteen hundred yards in every season of his NFL.

172
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: How can you argue with that it's true? Well, then

173
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: James Jones will scored another fourteen touchdowns. Every time James

174
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: Jones has started at least fourteen games, he scored fourth

175
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: They touchdowns, irresputable, irresputable, whatever, I don't care. The hashtag

176
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: misleading stats on Adam Rake if you follow him when

177
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: we come back. Our preview of Week one of the

178
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: regular season is on the way. See which players we

179
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: think deserve a spot. We're starting lineup in the opening

180
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: games of the year, and there's still plenty of time

181
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: to cram before the biggest test of your fantasy season.

182
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: Our last minute draft primer is on the way when

183
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live returns. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live.

184
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: The NFL season kicks off in just a few days,

185
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: but there's still plenty of time to sign up for

186
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: your NFL dot Com fantasy league and join a draft.

187
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: If you were you haven't done the homework, well, consider

188
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: us your fantasy tutors. So bar if you haven't done

189
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: any prep work. What's one piece of advice you can

190
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: give people who want to draft, Well, the only way

191
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: to draft is by creating a pre draft tier. And

192
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: that's what your quarterbacks. For example, you want to be

193
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: able to know that if I have a tier system

194
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 1: in place, it allows me not to go into what

195
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: I call the emotional state of drafting, whereas, oh, I

196
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: love this guy, this guy looks really good. So example,

197
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: I have my Tier one tier two, tier three guys. Now,

198
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: I have Colin Kaepernick as my tier one guy. Now,

199
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I see r G three and

200
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: he pops up and all the things that you know

201
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: about r G three him coming back in the exciting times,

202
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: I can push that out of the way. I know

203
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: I've got Colin Kaepernick over r G three, So I'm

204
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: gonna go with our ex sees what Colin Kaepernick? You

205
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: know another guy too? I mean that's really out there.

206
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: You're later in your draft and you're looking for a quarterback,

207
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: and perhaps you're not the guy that had an opportunity

208
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: to get one of those guys. You have Matt Ryan

209
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: out there, you know how to prioritize them because in

210
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: the NFL we call this a scouting report. You get

211
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: your scouting report out there, and it allows you to

212
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: maximize your draft experience. Matt Ryan, Tony Romo. A lot

213
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: of those guys in your second tier guys you should

214
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: target later in drafting, especially if your fantasy league gives

215
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: you four points for a passing touchdown, which is NFL

216
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: dot com standard. Any of those guys are a good value.

217
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: And remember there's a lot of good quarterbacks out there.

218
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: It's not like some of the positions where there's a

219
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: dearth of talent. You can go if you have a

220
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: ten team league, you're gonna get a stud quarterback. Yes

221
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: you can. You can wait six, seven, eighth round and

222
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: get your starting quarterback. What do you got? What's your

223
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: big piece of advice? This seems like it should be basic.

224
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: But you need to know the injuries because too often

225
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: guys getting into a draft and you hear it, you

226
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: know somebody will go up draft somebody who might be injured. Now,

227
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: if you look at the board here, there's a lot

228
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: of notable injuries right here. Michael Crabtree, Percy Hart have been,

229
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin. Now a couple of guys we have highlighted here.

230
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz coming back from his heal injury. We're expecting

231
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: him to be able to play in week one. Rob

232
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: Gronkowski was on the eleven on eleven drills on Monday,

233
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: so that means he's starting to come back. There's whispers

234
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: according to Boston Herald, that he could be ready for

235
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: week two, their home over, which would be big. And

236
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: now you're if you're getting Gronkowski in the fifth round,

237
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: now here's a young man from NFL Fantasy Draft Week.

238
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: He did not know who was injured. Look at that,

239
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: he's got Dennis Pitta, He's got Macklin and Percy Harvin.

240
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: Don't let this happen. That's like when you auto draft

241
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: that you know what, and then you gotta wonder, like,

242
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: who are the guys who are letting him do this.

243
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something of the kids at home. Make

244
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: sure you know your injuries before you go into the draft.

245
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: That's the best thing you can do, all right, real quick.

246
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: In me a round for Gronkowski, where you draft them

247
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: right now with the latest news, I'd go fourth, fifth round.

248
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: It depends on how your roster shaping up. You gotta

249
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: read the room and everything like that. I was in

250
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: a draft for Jimmy Ram went in the third round,

251
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: then I would probably slide grund Cawsie down to the fifth.

252
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: But the Graham goes in the second and there's some

253
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: other things going on, then I would go forth. All right.

254
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: The other thing, we need to know know who your

255
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: sleepers are. But not only that, no a difference when

256
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: a guy is a sleeper as opposed to a breakout guy.

257
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: For instance, Lamar Miller someone who we thought the entire

258
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: preseason he's going to be a breakout guy, someone who

259
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: could be a top ten running back. He hasn't looked

260
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: very good this preseason, so now he kind of slides

261
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: back on your draft board a little bit. Don't worry

262
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: about reaching up for Lamar Miller. Fifth six round is

263
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: about where Miller is going to go. If you get

264
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: him there, you're pretty happy. Remember he's someone you have

265
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: to draft him if you like him. As Akbar says,

266
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: take the emotion out of it and raft him where

267
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be drafted. And I'll say to this

268
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: with about Lamar Miller, I think also having a guy

269
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: with upsiding your roster helps to add and balance out

270
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: your roster. I was able to damn him as a

271
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: as a flex guy, and I love him in that position.

272
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: Don't like him as number one, not necessarily as a

273
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: number two, but as a flex guy. That's you started

274
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: tweeting out to thirteen champion, right was it? After that,

275
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller think I was? I was doing labs, taken

276
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 1: back us, all sorts of good stuff. Another guy, t

277
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. He's a sleeper, but his draft value was

278
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: moving up. His average draft round is the twelfth round.

279
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: He finished huge last season. He's had a pretty good

280
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: preseason as well. He looks to gain even more targets

281
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: from Andrew Luck this year as Reggie Wayne dominates, the

282
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: outside coverage still gonna roll towards him. He's a deep threat.

283
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: He's someone that if you want to get him as

284
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: a sleeper, maybe a little bit higher than the twelfth

285
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: round because his value is going up as supposed to.

286
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller's Yeah, he is my favorite of the sleepers

287
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: that you have because t Y Hilton, I think is

288
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: going to explode, and we talked about balancing out your roster.

289
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: He's the type of guy after you get your name

290
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: brand guys from North Rooms. Now, all of a sudden,

291
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: you go to t J Max and you get your

292
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: guy like t Y Hilton. He's gonna be a big

293
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: bang for your roster. You can go to the north

294
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: Strom rack. It's still it's still high ending everything. The

295
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: thing I don't like, I don't like DHB being in there.

296
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: It's a little bit you hear that he's gonna be

297
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: the number two guy and everything like that, But t

298
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 1: Y Hilton still looks like the guy to me. And

299
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: will be signing autographs if you ever see him at

300
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: t J Max. He's the b's the big guy looking

301
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: through the shirt's going there's nothing here for me. There's

302
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: nothing here for me. All now, someone we thought was

303
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a breakout candidate but slid back a little bit.

304
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: Is tight in Brandon Meyers with the New York Giants

305
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: called any nine passes with the Raiders last year. Eli

306
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: always makes his tight ends big weapons, but so far

307
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: it's been slow going for Brandon Meyers. And Eli stopped

308
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: by NFL Fantasy Live a week ago to tell us

309
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: it's a work in progress. You know, Brandon is doing great,

310
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: and uh, he's a smart guy and competitive and and

311
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: so um. You know, each game is important for us

312
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: to get on the same page and practice. So the more,

313
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, more action we can get and him making

314
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: decisions and me, you know, reading his body language. All

315
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: those things are to make us stronger. So it sounds

316
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: like a bit of a slow going for Brandon Meyers

317
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: with the Giants. Where you drafting him, I'm waiting on him.

318
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: You know. If there's a run on tight ends, which

319
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: are there, inevitably will be and then I can wait

320
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: a little bit and get a guy like Brandon Myers.

321
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: I understand his preseason not his best work, but again

322
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: it's the preseason. He's getting acclimated. By the time we're

323
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: in the week eight, week nine, Brandon Myers is gonna

324
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: be a very viable fantasy option and you can get

325
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: them very late thanks to his bad preseason, you know,

326
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: and that that makes sense for you to wait on

327
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: a tight end, especially like a guy like Brandon Meyers,

328
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: whereas Carson Palmer made him look hot last year when

329
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: they have that chemistry. But it takes time. And I

330
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: know from moving from team to team. I've gone from

331
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: the Raiders to the Charges of the Dolphins, and every

332
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: time you have to learn a new system, it makes

333
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: you play a little slower. So you probably won't see

334
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: the real Brandon Myers until probably mid season. And as

335
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: you guys talked about, what you're talking about the quarterbacks

336
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: having a very deep value of position. Same thing with

337
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: tight ends. You can get if you're a ten team league,

338
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: you can get ten eleven deep and you're like, I'm

339
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: pretty happy with the Fred Davis or Brandon Myers or

340
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: a Jared Michael Finlay has Also there's a lot of guys,

341
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Cameron, there's a ton of guys you can get.

342
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't worry too much about it. All right, there

343
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: we go. So for more pre draft preparations, let's send

344
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: it over to NFL dot com senior fantasy editor Michael

345
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: Fabiano with his top ten at each position. FABS. All right, Jason,

346
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: thank you, my man. And sure we can talk sleepers

347
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: and bus all day, but it's important not to forget

348
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: the basics. So here are my top ten quarterbacks for

349
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: the upcoming fantasy season, and kids out there, wait on

350
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: a quarter act. I know everyone else is gonna jump

351
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: on a quarterback into the first three rounds. Wait at

352
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: the position. Look how deep this position is. Last year

353
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: at number ten, we had Russell Wilson at two seventy

354
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: five fantasy points. There's depth. Build your draft strategy around

355
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: going after running backs and wide receivers early and waiting

356
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: on a quarterback. Let's go to those running backs. Adrian

357
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Peterson cluded the number one guy. A lot of very

358
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: familiar names. If you break out candidates in there like C. J. Spiller,

359
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy should have a big season in Philadelphia under

360
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly and Trent Richardson. I love Trent Richardson this season.

361
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: Could be a steal at the end of Round one

362
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver spot. Everybody knows Calvin Johnson's number one.

363
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: He is the consensus top wide receiver in fantasy, but

364
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: the guy most likely to knock him off that pedals

365
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: to the season is that Cowboys Dez Bryant. Des Bryant

366
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: is one of the most talented wide receivers in the

367
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: National Football League. He has got an unbelievably great rapport

368
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: with Tony Romo. If you watch in the free season,

369
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: these guys hooked up almost exclusively. Des Bryant will be

370
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: the second wide receiver taken, and he should be in

371
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: the second round in most fantasy drafts. Don't be shocked

372
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: if he overtakes Megatron as the top wide out from

373
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective. I loved as Bryant this season. Again,

374
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: he is well worth a second round pick in every

375
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: fantasy draft. And also another thing, keep in mind, he

376
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: has one of the easiest schedules based on fantasy points

377
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: among wide receivers. Now moving in to the tight end

378
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: board again, a lot of familiar names you're looking at.

379
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, he'll come off the board somewhere in around

380
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: two or around three. Rob Gronkowski, I haven't come off

381
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: the board in round five. Don't take him any earlier.

382
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: Keep in mind he is going to miss at least

383
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: the first week, maybe two. They're talking about him coming

384
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: back between weeks three and week seven. Tony Gonzalez, Jate

385
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: s went in. A couple of veterans out there. Then

386
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: you're looking at players with upside late. The guys just

387
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: talked about Brandon Myers and Jared Cook coming in at

388
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: number ten, a big time sleeper at the tight end position.

389
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: Moving on the defenses, a lot of the same names,

390
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense, the Niners, the Bears, the Patriots, who

391
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: have a great matchup in week Week one against the

392
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. The Ravens have moved down because a lot

393
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: of changes of that at that defensive spot. The Rams

394
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals are a sneaky good pick from a

395
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: defensive perspective. They always finished the top twelve in Fantasy points. Now.

396
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: As for the kickers, well, you can wait until the

397
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: last round of your draft and take that pick. Don't

398
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: take a kicker before the final round. Coming up next

399
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: on NFL Fantasy Live kickoff is right around the corner

400
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: and we dive head first into the Week one matchups

401
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: that tickle our fantasy fancy. NFL Fantasy Live rolls on

402
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: a Week one is upon us, and if you've already

403
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: had your draft, now is the time to make the

404
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: critical decisions of who to start and who to leave

405
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: on your bench. Fabs an ok bar Which borderline starters

406
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: need to be in Fantasy players lineups this week? Well,

407
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start off in New England with Shane Vereen.

408
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills defense has traditionally been awful against the run,

409
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: making Stephen really a solid start at number one or

410
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: number two, and making Verene a very good three or flex,

411
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: especially in the PPR League. I had a feeling that

412
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: the Patriots are going to blow the Bills out of

413
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: the water this weekend. He also remember he could line

414
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: up wind up, lining up out wide and get the ball.

415
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: That way. They have to get him the ball, Yep,

416
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And again with the Patriots and

417
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: their lack of reliable offensive weapons in the passing game,

418
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: Marine will see a lot of targets and for me

419
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: it's de Sean Jackson. I mean DeShawn Jackson is a

420
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: must play going up against the Washington Redskins. When you

421
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: look at the Washington Reiskins last year, their ranked thirty

422
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: in past defense, and partly it was because they didn't

423
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: have Brian and rackvill getting after the quarterback when they

424
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: need to him. But I'll tell you right now, Jim

425
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: Haslett as the defensive coordinator won't be able to match

426
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: up against this offense with the high tempo. When they

427
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 1: bring in the different groupings, the personal group is hard

428
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: to tell if it's runner pass. With the Philadelphia Eagles,

429
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson is gonna be a great flex guy. You

430
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: better go get him right now. Maybe you drafted Matthew

431
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: Stafford late, you drafted as your first quarterback. Maybe you

432
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: got fortunate enough to draft to measure backup. Hey, he's

433
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: got a start week one forty eight yards passing in

434
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: his last nine home games. They can throw the ball

435
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: eight hundred times this year. Matthew Stafford is my big

436
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 1: bounce back guy a season. And as we've talked about fabs,

437
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: he's got that second guy in Reggie Bush who can

438
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: take a swing pass and turn them into a nad

439
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: R touchdown. Yeah, he had a couple of three yard

440
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: games last year against the Minnesota Vikings. I completely agree

441
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: with you. Jason Stafford needs to be in your starting

442
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: line up. He's a top ten quarterback. This week, all right,

443
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: give me to the quarterback, bar Well. First off, the quarterback,

444
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mention, it's not gonna throw the ball eight

445
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: hundred times. That's a lot of time to throw the ball.

446
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: But killer, we're in the passing league. But one guy

447
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: that I do like is Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan is

448
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: going up against the New Orleans Saints, and every time

449
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: I watched him play against the Saints, he's popping in

450
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: fifty times. I mean he's gonna pop them for fifty times,

451
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: throwing the ball to Julio Jones, Roddy White. Now he's

452
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: got a guy Steven Jackson who can catch the ball

453
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. Of course, they got Jock Quiz Rogers.

454
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: But what's what's more impressive to me is that this

455
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: defense that they're going up to is gonna give up

456
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: a lot of points and Rob Ryan's defense. Having played

457
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: in his defense, I know it takes about a year

458
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: and a half to two years to really understand the

459
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: terminology and all the adjustments they're gonna make. Look, you

460
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: don't have time to make adjustments against the Atlanta foul kin.

461
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: You better go get to meet Matt Ryan because he's

462
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: gonna be healthy, healthy for your roster. When you see

463
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: the name Miles Austin, you think, oh, Fantasy disappointed the

464
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: last couple of years. But in your flex spot this week, fans,

465
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: you have a lot of unknowns. If you have any

466
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: Lacy or Chris Ivory or Giovanni Bernard, Miles Austin against

467
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: the Giants, pretty good play. Yeah, I like him as

468
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: his three. Uh he was drafted as the three and

469
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: most Fantasy leagues and the Giants past defense guys. I mean,

470
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: let's face it, last year it was terrible. It was

471
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: really bad. And Tony Romo always has big games against

472
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. So if you do the Domino effect,

473
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good week for des Bryant and

474
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: a very good week to start Miles Austin. And maybe

475
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: he catches one that's in the lights this time. I know,

476
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he lost it in the it

477
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: was a hamstring, I'm not sure. Let's talk about the

478
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: other quarterback in that contest. Eli mann You want to

479
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: talk about a guy who dominates a team. Eli Manning

480
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: is the Cowboys daddy, all right. He puts some big

481
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: numbers weekend and week out every time he is facing

482
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: the boys with the stars on their helmet. In fact,

483
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: he's average two touchdown passes in his last games against them.

484
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a shootout. Eli Manning

485
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: has his weapons back with Victa Cruz and jackim Nicks.

486
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: You have Brandon Myers in the offense. Now watch Eli

487
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: have a big game against the cow Pokes. All right,

488
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: and luckily or likely you got him as a number two,

489
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: so you have to play the percentages there. But Eli

490
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: could be in for another big one. That's something we

491
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: talked about a NFL Fantasy Live is preaching matchups on defense.

492
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: You can have a great defense like the Bears of

493
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: the forty niners, but chances are you're gonna wind up

494
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: trying to pick up a defense that has a game

495
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: against a really bad offense. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers open

496
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: up against the New York Jets. There's a few teams

497
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: every year that we say, who were they playing? That's

498
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: the defense I'm picking up. You may only play him once,

499
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: but this is the week to do it well, I think,

500
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: is it then clear that to say that if you're

501
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: any team defense playing against the New York Jets or

502
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders, yes you want to pick those guys

503
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: up and play them in the matchup, especially if you

504
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: subscribe to that belief. Of course, I believe that you

505
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: get a dominant defense. But if you don't have a

506
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: dominant defense, why not go after these guys. They've already

507
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: upgraded their backfield by getting Revis and Goldson. I think

508
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: that they're not gonna have an opportunity to throw the ball.

509
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna stack the box against this New York just

510
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: team and they're just gonna get it to him. I

511
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: drafted the Buccaneers in like three leagues because all the

512
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: good defenses were gone, I says, I'm just playing the matchups.

513
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: I'll stream the defenses and the Jets of one of

514
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: the worst offenses. And let me say this, because sacks

515
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: are worth a lot of points. You could see a

516
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 1: record breaking sack in this game. I mean, because who

517
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: are they gonna go? Are they going to throw the

518
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: ball to? You? Better go get another team. The Colts too,

519
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: against against the Raiders. Wesley Walker could have a big game.

520
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: The's a lot of Jets receivers out there. You have

521
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: no idea who Weslie Walter you're looking at it? Start

522
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: talking about all right now. Pats also could be big

523
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills. Bills starting either Jeff Tool or EJ. Manuel.

524
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: That could be another big one too. Yeah, and we

525
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: all know how Bill Belichick is. He's going to game

526
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: around these guys. He's going and Jeff Tools not ready

527
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: for that. I've seen him in college. I think that's

528
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good pick to pick up the

529
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: Pagries defense. I don't forget. Fantasy leagues are still open

Speaker 1: that you, the fans control in our Experts League. First,

551
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: here's the starters again, everybody votes who they want. The

552
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: most popular selection is the pick. Pretty decent starting line

553
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: up here, fabs, you got Rodgers, Marshall Lynd, Stephen Ridley,

554
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Tory Smith, Grunk at tight end. So you

555
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: need a new one, but not a bad not bad.

556
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: By full strength, that team is going to be very competitive.

557
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: I like Marshawn Lynch. There Stephen Ridley to me, is

558
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: still an underrated fantasy running back. Now here's the bench,

559
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: and the question facing America's team right now is, Okay,

560
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: you need another tight end because Rob Bronkowski, even though

561
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: he's back at practice, is still recovering from injury. He

562
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: won't play Week one. Jonathan Dwyer, who was drafted, no

563
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: longer with the Pittsburgh Steelers. So likely what you're gonna

564
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: have to do America's team, drop Jonathan Dwyer and pick

565
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: up a tight end. You can help manage America's team

566
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: at NFL dot com slash America's team, voting who you

567
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: should pick up to start. There's plenty of decent tight

568
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 1: end potential on the waiver wire. Now we're gonna decide,

569
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: and we're gonna make our decisions here and talk about

570
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: what we took away from our Experts League draft fabs,

571
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: What did you take away from the Experts League when

572
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: you saw how everything went? Man, you can wait on

573
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and I've been telling the kids out there

574
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: to wait on a quarterback the entire preseason, and I

575
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: got Tom Brady in round seven. You guys should be

576
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: ashamed yourself that you let me get Tob Brady in

577
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: the seventh round. If that doesn't give you a reason

578
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: to wait on quarterbacks, I don't know what does. He's

579
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: not gonna follow the seventh round in most leagues. But

580
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is someone like Tony Romo will,

581
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: someone like Matthew Stafford will maybe even in RG three

582
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: or Matt Ryan. That is just the the clearest example

583
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: of how deep this quarterback position is this year. Load

584
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: up on your running backs and wide receivers early. Trust me,

585
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: you will thank us after your draft. Well, and I'll

586
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: tell you this to This allows you not only that

587
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: it allows you to get a guy's like Dwayne Bow,

588
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: it allows you to get guys like Marcus Coulson. Had

589
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: you going with him a little earlier, now, all of

590
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: a sudden, you'd be weak at that position. Maybe you

591
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: were left with, you know, Tory Smith being your number

592
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: one wide receiver versus having a Coulson or Dwayne Bolt. Yeah,

593
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: because if you go with a quarterback too early in

594
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: your draft, you're drafting him in the second or the

595
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: third round, You're gonna end up with somebody like Darryl

596
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: Richardson as your number two running back or somebody like

597
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy, somebody who you aren't gonna be completely confident in.

598
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: That's why way, because I got Tony Roman maybe the

599
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: ninth round it was. And when you've play in a

600
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: league that gives you four points for a touchdown pass,

601
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: not six for four of points, you can wait on theme.

602
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: And this is another thing. You won't be as bitter

603
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady for some reason he flops. You know

604
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: you won't be as bitter because you got him at

605
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: the seventh round. The faith Tom Brady, all right, the

606
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: faith also in David Wilson's Elliot Harrison getting him in

607
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: the second round. Now we thought rank he's someone alright,

608
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: third round maybe, But with the news of Andre Brown's injury,

609
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: he's rising on a lot of boards. Absolutely. And this

610
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: goes back to last season. He was a standout in

611
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: preseason last year. Everybody thought he was gonna come in

612
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: be a great flex option. He fumbles the first time

613
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: he carries the football. We don't see him again until December,

614
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: but he was excellent in December. And like you said,

615
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: you know what, this preseason it looked like Andre Brown

616
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: was gonna take those carries in the red zone. Andre

617
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 1: Brown twenty six of his carries came in the red

618
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: zone that led the NFL last year, but now those

619
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: are gone. David Wilson might not get all the carries

620
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: this time, but he'll get enough, and I like him.

621
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: In the second round, I was looking, I got Steven Jackson.

622
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: I was very happy with that pick. But you know what,

623
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: if I would have been stuck with it, and I

624
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: don't want to say stuck with David Wilson, but if

625
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: I would have ended up with David Wilson, I would

626
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: have been happy. Second round just seems too high for me,

627
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: especially when you had a guy like c J. Two

628
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: k out there, you had m J. D. I would

629
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: have gone c J two K before I would have

630
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: gone David Wilson. I think it was just a little

631
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: emotion because of the day after we found out Andre Brown.

632
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: You knows out. That's what happens. That's one of the

633
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: draft goes where you gotta follow the draft. One thing

634
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: you can follow, you can wait on the rookies. Eddie

635
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: Lacey was the first rookie off the board. I took

636
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: him in the fourth round, DeAndre Hopkins in the twelfth round. FABS.

637
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: We like some of these running backs and of all

638
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: the guys with upside, Eddie Lacy at least has the opportunity, right, Yes,

639
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: and Eddie Lacy is one of the players in the

640
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: preseason who saw his value rise the most. Now, I

641
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: don't know if I want him as it to Smith,

642
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: but I do like him as a high end three.

643
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: The good thing about Lacey is that he has the

644
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: upside to be an RB two. So I don't think

645
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: you're sitting too bad. No, And the thing is the

646
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: other guys is I got I have um to Chris

647
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: Ivory and and also going to Giovanni Bernard, so I

648
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: need one of those guys to come through. So one

649
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: of those guys would be yere two. So I think

650
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: you're okay. What about DeAndre Hopkins hock Bart, Well, you

651
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: know the way I draft is after the eighth round,

652
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: I start looking for guys with side. I'm not gonna

653
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: go for upside in the third, fourth, fifth round. That's

654
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: way too high. It puts your your roster at a disadvantage.

655
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: But DeAndre Hopkins is a guy. Now, No, of course,

656
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: he's going through the whole concussion thing, and you know,

657
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: we'll see how that how that plays out. But DeAndre

658
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: Hopkins going to be that guy next to Andre Johnson

659
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: who's gonna make big plays. And he showed that during

660
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: the preseason, so we know he has explosive capabilities. And

661
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: he is on America's team, that's who selected DeAndre Hopkins,

662
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: so maybe they're right about him. Now. We saw a

663
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: run on tight ends that came in the sixth round,

664
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: and one of the guys that went in this round

665
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: rank was Jason Witten, who, you know, you kind of

666
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: forget about him. We talked so much about Gronkowski and

667
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, forget about him, You totally do, you know?

668
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: And everybody likes those big names, likes the household guy.

669
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: How is Jason Witten not a household name? You see

670
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: his numbers against other tight ends, He's up there with

671
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: the best of them, and especially if you're playing in

672
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: the PPR league, he gets targeted more than any tight

673
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: end out there, Jason Witten. When that run on tight

674
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: end starts, and it usually starts with Tony Gonzalez, I

675
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: prefer Vernon Davis. I prefer Jason Witten. And if you

676
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: miss out on those guys, you know what, don't sweat.

677
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: I'll wait for Jordan Cameron I'll wait for Jamichael Finley.

678
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: There's plenty of opportunities down there later on in the

679
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: tenth twelve catches. Last year, it's ten. We did a

680
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: PPR draft earlier this offseason and I picked them up

681
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: in the fifth round, and I'm like, what is everybody doing?

682
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: Just big name at the bottom of that list, Jamichael Finley,

683
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: mark my words there. We'll see how our draft goes

684
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: with NFL a m tomorrow to see if we see

685
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: some of the same trends we saw this past weekend.

686
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: Coming up on NFL Fantasy Live, who will be the

687
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: Fantasy rookie of the year. That could be only one,

688
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: but there's certainly are plenty of options that choose from.

689
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: We'll take our pick, but out next, our experts go

690
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: head to head which players are on the cusp of

691
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: being a breakout star in which might slide their way

692
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: down to your fantasy bedg find out when NFL Fantasy

693
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: Live rolls on Boom er Busts. That's the question on

694
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: the minds of fantasy owners this time of year, and

695
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: we're here with our predictions for the players who have

696
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: the greatest potential to put up big numbers or make

697
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy owners tear their hair out this thanks to drafting

698
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews too many times. All Right, fabs m j

699
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: D this year, Boomer bust. I'm gonna say boom because

700
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: m j D is going to be a guy. I'm

701
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: not going to draft him to the third round the

702
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: fourth round of is available, because that's just where I

703
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: like him in terms of relative value. He's no longer

704
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: in number one fantasy running back and shouldn't be drafted

705
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: as such. He's now a number two. Also, remember he's

706
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: only twenty seven, he's not old. He's in a contract year.

707
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: They'll be motivated to produce because this is the last

708
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: time he's gonna have a chance to get a big

709
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: money deal as a number two fantasy running back. I

710
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: would take a boom and Maurice Jones drew. How high

711
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: do you draft him again? In third or fourth round?

712
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to Colin Kaepernick, who's on a

713
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: lot of people's list as being a breakout player this year.

714
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: And look, he certainly looks the part. Looking at fantasy

715
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: meeting reality. It's an entire offseason of defensive coordinators seeing

716
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: what Kaepernick did. He kind of took the league by

717
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: storm as an unknown last year. He doesn't have Michael Crabtree.

718
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous and more nervous than I thought

719
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: i'd be about Colin Kaepernick. I'm defaulting to guys like

720
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Two guys like Andrew Luck that I'm taking

721
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: in that seventh eighth part or the seventh eighth quarterback

722
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: coming off the board, Kaepernick, Russell Wilson. These guys just

723
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,239
Speaker 1: make me a little bit too nervous than the other

724
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: guys who are a little more tried and true. All right,

725
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: let's get back to some running backs here, rank and

726
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: c J two K. Let's go big boom, c J

727
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: two K. He is not the number one running back

728
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: he used to be a couple of years ago, but

729
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: he is still a great value as a number two

730
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: running back. He he ranked thirteenth last year in Fantasy

731
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: Football points amongst running backs. And you're probably gonna draft

732
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 1: him in the third round and as a number two

733
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: running back, or even if you want to play a

734
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: little fancy, put him out as your flex guy. He's

735
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: gonna be great for you. The one thing I really

736
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: like about him, I understand he's gonna lose some touchdowns.

737
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: M J D but he doesn't get hurt. He's only

738
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: missed one game in the last five years. When it

739
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: comes to c J two K, are you comfortable with

740
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: him as a number two or you're really comfortable as

741
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: a three. I would be more comfortable with him as

742
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: a three if I could, But as a number two.

743
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: If you're gonna be one of those guys who takes

744
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant Calvin Johnson in the second round, then c

745
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: J two K will be a nice option for you

746
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: as a number two running back right Reggie Bush could

747
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: certainly be a guy there for you. He's coming off

748
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: the boards much earlier than we anticipated seeing our NFL

749
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live drafts. Go fabs, you got him as a boom.

750
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: I like him, I really do. The one caveat is

751
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: he needs to stay healthy on turf. But this offense

752
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: is a perfect fit for Reggie Bush and what he does.

753
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: In terms of his skill set. He may have more

754
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 1: receiving yards and rushing yards this year, Guys, he's going

755
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: to catch the ball out of the backfield the ton.

756
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: In fact, I would not be surprised if he's the

757
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: second most targeted player in a Detroit Lions uniform this year. Behind,

758
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: of course, Calvin Johnson. I dropped him in the third

759
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: or fourth round in both standard. In PPR, he's more

760
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: likely to go in the third round. In allegre, where

761
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: you get points per reception, that's where we get PPR

762
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: from another running back. Who's a boom is David Wilson.

763
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: Especially with what's going on with the Giants over the

764
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: last few days. You have Andre Brown's injury gonna keep

765
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: him out of action for a while. The running game

766
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: is entirely in his hands. He's a home run threat.

767
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: He's a threat for a touchdown every time he touches

768
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: the football. And the best part about it is that

769
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: if he fumbles, well, who else are they gonna go to?

770
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Terrain suddenly is gonna come in. David Wilson is

771
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: moving up so many draft boards, in fact, our experts,

772
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: league fans, and he went in the second round, which

773
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 1: shows you how people are thinking. If you want David Wilson,

774
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: you've got to get him. Really, one thing that was

775
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: holding his value back, guys, was what and Andre Brown

776
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: is no longer in the mix? All right? We talked

777
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: about Ryan Matthews a couple of seconds ago. Rank boom

778
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: or bust bust. I'm gonna pass on Ryan Matthews. Now,

779
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: I understand, he had a fantastic preseason and one yards

780
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, and now he's crawling up draft boards.

781
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: People are even looking at him as a number two

782
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: running back. I do not advise this. I say he's

783
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: a flex option at best. If you look at him,

784
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: he's just not explosive enough. He doesn't get into the

785
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: end zone enough. He's he's had no rushing touchdowns in

786
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: his last nine games. You see it right there. I'm

787
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: reading it off the board, but you look at the

788
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: statistics and it is not far out to hit him

789
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: to be a number two running back. I say pass

790
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: on him. What about between him and Danny Woodheck real quick,

791
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: come on, be serious. Move on to Mike Wallace. Let's

792
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: talk about Mike Wallace. I have him as a bust, guys,

793
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: and I have him as a bust because of two reasons.

794
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: Number one, I don't think he's a good fit for

795
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: that offense. And number two, there's only been three wide

796
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: receivers to have a thousand yards since Dan Mario retired

797
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: in South Florida, and I don't think Mike Wallace is

798
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: gonna be the next guy. Listen. He's talented and I

799
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: would have liked him a heck of a lot more

800
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: if he stayed in Pittsburgh, But in Miami, I don't

801
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: like him as anything more than at three. I wouldn't

802
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: draft him as it too. You're playing with fire there,

803
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: all right. Still the comments are preseason Fantasy award predictions.

804
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: See what we think is in line to be the

805
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: comeback player of the year for fantasy owners, and if

806
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: the latter's comes early when Fantasy Live returns, welcome back.

807
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: A full season of twists and turns lay ahead for

808
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: NFL teams and fantasy owners alike. So we're looking into

809
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: our collective crystal ball to nominate who we think will

810
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: take home the hardware in our version of the Academy Awards. So,

811
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: like a fabiano when you're a very sharp suit, here

812
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: give a short picked for Fantasy Rookie of the Year.

813
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Eddie Lacy. I'm gonna go with

814
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: the running back because the running back is typically the

815
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 1: position that scores the most Fantasy points of these first

816
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: year players. Lacy's the featured back there. Forget about Jonathan Franklin.

817
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: Juan Harris is out for the season. Alex green Is

818
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: grand with the Jets. Now Eddie Lacy is coming on

819
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective. See I like that because I

820
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: haven't thank you very much for coming through here. Well there,

821
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Geo Bernard. This is someone who

822
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: you look at the situation on paper and say, okay,

823
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: it's a timeshare with Ben Jarvis green Ellis. But you

824
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: look at the touches he got this preseason. These weren't

825
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: touches to get him used to the NFL. These were

826
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: touches early on in games you see his explosiveness. He

827
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: could be that breakout guy at running back. Hey look,

828
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,959
Speaker 1: I got both of them, so you know, I'm happy

829
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: if one of them Kit pans out. But better hard

830
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: as someone who was going to slowly take that job

831
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: away from Ben Jarvis green Ellis reduced him to possibly

832
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: a goal line back maybe later on in the season.

833
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's go some breakouts now, and Adam Rank

834
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: you're going quarterback. I'm gonna go Colin Kaepernick. I know,

835
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: not necessarily your idea of a breakout guy because he

836
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: was so good last year, but if you look at

837
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: his numbers last year and you spread them out over

838
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 1: an entire season. We're looking at over four thousand passing yards,

839
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: thirty two total touchdowns. And the best thing about at

840
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: him is that he's just getting better. You know what.

841
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: This is the first time he's had a full training

842
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: camp with Jim Harbaugh. He went in last year is

843
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: the number two guy behind Alex Smith. Now he's coming

844
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: into the number one guy. People, they do not have

845
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: him solved. And if you look at his last five weeks,

846
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: he outscored Tom Brady in five of the last six

847
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: weeks of the season last year. This guy is gonna

848
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: be huge. Well, if you look at the fact that

849
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick took Alex smith spot, then I'm thinking that

850
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: Alex Smith had to be really good to be in

851
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: front of Colin Kaepernick for so long. So I like

852
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick. Excuse me, I like Alex Smith to be

853
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: the breakout player of the year because I think being

854
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: with Andy Reid, having Dwayne Bow Jamal Charles in the backfield,

855
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: to me, that is set up for success. I like

856
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: the way he's He's very accurate, especially with the mid

857
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: passing game, and then he can throw that deep ball

858
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: if he needs to get out to Dwayne Bow, He's

859
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: going to be a person that you have to watch

860
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: out for. If you've got Alex Smith somewhere in the

861
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: late round and you have him stashed away, watch him

862
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: rise up your board. And if you have Dwayne Bow,

863
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: then you're also hoping Alex Smith comes through, because then

864
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: that's exactly what you need, all right. Have a comeback

865
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: player of the here. This is someone coming back from

866
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: a fantasy season that was very disappointing. Whether you drafted

867
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: someone earlier, had him on a keeper league, and akbar,

868
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: no surprise, you're going with your former flame, Michael Vick.

869
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: Michael Vick is going to be the comeback player of

870
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: the year without a doubt. When you look at the

871
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: offense that's he's running right now. I can't keep saying

872
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: it enough. Chip Kelly is going to make Michael Vick

873
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: a star. He's now on his last tour. If he

874
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: does not succeed in this offense, you can forget about

875
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: Michael Vick. He will have no fantasy relevancy until he

876
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: retires from the game of football. This is it. He

877
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: knows that pressure, it's real. He's gonna succeed in this offense.

878
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: Having Shady McCoy de, Sean Jackson, and he's gonna have

879
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: a sprinkle of other guys too that are really gonna

880
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: get hot in this offense. I'm telling you, go, Michael

881
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: Vick would have come back. Let me throw this out

882
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: there real quick to you guys. He starts out gangbusters

883
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: first three or four weeks. He's great. To keep him

884
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: or trade him. Larry Fitzgerald could also be a big

885
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: comeback player there. With Carson Palmer thrown and passes in Arizona,

886
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: fac will be He was for a second Fantasy points

887
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: among wide receivers last year. He's moving back up in

888
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: the top ten. Dare I say he may move up

889
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: into the top five. He's that good. He's motivated. The

890
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: one question about this team is the offensive line. They

891
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: just lost Jonathan Cooper for this season. But you know,

892
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer is gonna be looking for his man, Larry

893
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald early and often. This season. Larry Fitzgerald is finish

894
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: in the top five and Fantasy points amongst wide receivers

895
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: and every odd numbered season in the top five. Guys,

896
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: All right, where you drafting him? I'll take him in

897
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 1: the third round? Third right. I was kind of talk

898
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: to them m v P now, and you know, get

899
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: off the beaten path. Obviously, guys like Adrian Peterson'm gonna

900
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 1: get a lot of consideration, Doug Martin. But how about

901
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: c J. Spiller? Right, this is a guy who the

902
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 1: Bill said, we're gonna get him the football three hundred

903
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: times a game. He's easily the best weapon they have.

904
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: We've seen him being a breakout guy. You draft c J. Spiller,

905
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: You could have the m v P this season. C J. Spiller.

906
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: And I love the uniforms that they're wearing right there too,

907
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: a nice little throwback and reminds me of Joe Cribs.

908
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: C J. Spill anytime I coach comes out and say

909
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna on this guy three d five hundred times

910
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: whatever they're talking about, they want to They want to

911
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: give him the Donovan McNabb treatment. They want him throwing

912
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 1: up on the field. This is the guy to take

913
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: the only time I didn't like that was when they

914
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: said it about North. Turner said it about Ryan Matthews

915
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: and San Diego. We saw that best Ryan Matthews after

916
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: leave him all right, give me your m v P.

917
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: Steven Jackson. I love this guy. It seems like, in

918
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: every draft that I'm in, I end up with Steven

919
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: Jackson in the second round just because of the way

920
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: it breaks down. I really like this guy. You know what,

921
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: I understand. He's approaching thirty years so I think he

922
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: is thirty years old. It doesn't matter. He's in an

923
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: offense now where he's gonna be able to score. And

924
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: that was the big thing if you look at his career,

925
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: the one thing that has held him back. He has

926
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: not been able to score for the St. Louis FC.

927
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: He's gonna get that opportunity in Atlanta. He's gonna score

928
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns. He's gonna catch them. He's gonna be huge.

929
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: You know what, your first round pick should come through

930
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: with you. It's the guys in the second, the third round,

931
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: those periphery guys that have to come through for you.

932
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: That guy is gonna be don't be rises. Stephen Jackson,

933
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: his first carry has no idea what to do when

934
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: that hole is as big as a mack truck, because

935
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: like wow, because they have to defend the perimeter and

936
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: he's not going to see that eight nine in the

937
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: box anymore. Michael Turner had no fewer than ten rushing

938
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns in five years with the Atlanta Falcons. Even had

939
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: ten last year and he wasn't very good. He was

940
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 1: over there the studentical, Their status were identical Michael Turner

941
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: Steven there exactly except for the touches. Plus, it makes

942
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: their offense more dynamic. When Michael Turner was on the

943
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: field last season, the Falcons were very predictable. You knew

944
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: that they had to run the football. Because Steven Jackson

945
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: can catch the ball. That makes their team multi dynamic.

946
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna it's gonna be a big year for them.

947
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to the defensive side of the ball here

948
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: for a second off bar your defensive fantasy m v P,

949
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: who's your player of the year on the defensive side

950
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: of the wall. Without a doubt, I'm going with Alden Smith.

951
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: To me, Alda Smith has to be that guy because

952
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: I think Alda Smith is gonna be able to get

953
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: to the quarterback. I mean last season used to all

954
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: him get off. I mean I think this year he's

955
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: gonna be healthy. Everybody on the inside is healthy. They've

956
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: got the secondary. I think it's gonna be locked up.

957
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna bring in a new Nickel package.

958
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: You know I have to bring in the name Nambias more.

959
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: They bring him in that situation, They've got a lot

960
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: of weapons there. Alden Smith could have twenty sacks this season.

961
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: Look for Tyron Matthew to have a big impact, not

962
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: only on the field for the Arizona Cardinals, but into

963
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: your fantasy leagues because when you're drafting cornerbacks, a lot

964
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: of times you don't. You have guys who are shut down.

965
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: Corners don't get a lot of points because quarterbacks don't

966
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: throw at them. They'll test him, fussy, get your sacks.

967
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: I like that guy, all right, Barry. Also, look for

968
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,960
