Hello, and welcome to episode four hundred of the Dynasty Dude Podcast. Right
off the bat one, thank you all for being either long time listeners or
if you recently discovered my show for listening and becoming a fan. To celebrate
episode four hundred, I'm doing a listener Q and A announced it last week,
ended up receiving a good amount of questions with some sub questions, so
plenty of cover on this week's show. If you want to show your support
and you enjoy my weekly content, please consider dropping a five star written review
an Apple podcast. If left on Apple and written, we'll get a shout
out next week's program. Even clicking those five stars over on Spotify helps me
out a ton as an independent podcast host creators. So let's get right to
it, no matter lay my listener, Q and A. For episode four
hundred. First, we had a question from Sage Leath. He said,
how old are you? I am thirty years old, turn thirty this past
summer, so I'm officially feeling a bit older than I ever did before,
but that's where I'm at. Next question by Sage was how long have you
been producing fantasy football content? Roughly over eight years now. I actually started
as a writer for Dynasty Nerds in twenty fifteen. If you follow their work,
you know that they're really established in this space of dynasty, let alone
fantasy football. So it was really cool writing with them, great experience,
and then I proceeded to create my own podcast in twenty sixteen, thinking I
could do more of the same and sort of pay my own path in this
industry. I even wrote for the Fantasy Footballers from twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen.
That was a really cool opportunity, but as we all know, leading
busy lives with everything going on, I couldn't continue to write and produce this
content weekend week out with free shows and Patreon. So that's my background in
terms of fantasy football content. Sage's last question was what does it take Slash?
How did you get started? In my mind, it's passionate, that's
the bottom line. Creating content doesn't even feel like work for me since I
love the NFL and fantasy football so much. That being said, you have
to be fully committed in order to make a podcast work in a highly competitive
and over sacturated industry at this point. That includes being active on social media
with marketing audience engagement along the way, even day to day responsibilities or tasks
of being a podcast TOLSA you might not think of until you're actually in it.
If you're a listener and you've thought about considered starting a podcast, I
would definitely recommend creating a blog first to build up an audience to then migrate
or transition into the podcasting space. If I could go back in time,
I probably would have gone that route. It just seems a bit easier to
break in that way. And that goes for any topic, not just the
NFL and face football. If you are into other hobbies or interests and consider
beginning a podcast about said topic, reach out to me. I help where
I can. That's what I'm here for. Next question is by John Hutchinson.
He said, I have some twenty four picks burning a hole in my
pocket. I'm a top team in this league, so I have a real
shot to win, but I have a lot of older play went to name
Austin Ekeler, Joe Mixon, Avil Kamara, Devote Adams, George Kittle,
Darrel Waller. John said I could trade them now or soon for a top
young stud or perhaps even two first rounders for a top wide out. I
feel like trading them early might be smart before people start to realize the picks
will definitely be later picks. But part of me says to ride it out.
John, I know we discussed this in detail on Patreon. I would
ride it out this early in the season now that Avil Kamara has returned from
suspension, will look great at that this past weekend in terms of usage while
facing Tampa Bay. Not to mention that it sounded like Austin Eckler was really
close to returning in week four. The Chargers are on bio week five,
meaning Ecklers should be back come week six. Your team could be ready set
and full throttle ahead to contend. Your roster core is certainly built to win
now, so if you happen to fall out of the playoff race, then
it does make sense to blow the team up in exchange for ample first round
draft capital or just younger talent across the board, pivoting from your aging talent
to either prospects that have started off slow and or establish themselves early on in
their respect of careers. If you end up in a selling situation, then
I feel like DeVante Adams. George Chitteldern Waller would be top priority for me
to offload before the likes of Ekler, Kamara Mixon unless the team is willing
to spend or pay up that premium required for such a thin running back market.
If you don't have a cream of the crop, top five or even
ten running back this year, you're really feeling the pain mixing and matching or
plugging playing options left and rights. You have that competitive agein advantage with that
trio of Ekler, Kamara Mixon. Don't sell yourself short if you're concerned about
longevity versus winning a title now. If you can win a title in Dynasty,
go for it. Worry about blowing up a team in the offseason.
The next question was left by Raymond Galindo. He said, this team has
a lot of pieces I like and is interested in Michael Pittman. I got
a link for that team to understand the context. The offer was Chris Gobblin,
Sarcer Tillman and Jack McKinnon for Pittman. What's a good counter? Raymond?
We discussed this. I feel like it's a strong offer. I value
Pittman the most, but I like the combination of Godwin plus Tillman long term,
assuming Watson is on the right track and with the team for the resiable
future. Not to mention Amark Cooper agen Tillman is going to be an outside
receiver. We saw in the preseason glimpses of it. Not to mention his
college pedigree out of Tennessee. There's a lot to like what he brings you
to the table as an X wide out in today's NFL. And then I
recommended pursuing DK Metcalf for Pittman instead. You have to add to get DK,
of course, possibly even a package based on what I saw in that
other roster of Nico Collins or Christian Kirk plus Kendre Miller for Pittman and a
second or a third depending on where that team is at with Kendre Miller.
So those are some thoughts or counteroffers if you don't like Godwin, Tilman McKinnon
for Pittman. I will add that now is perhaps not the best time to
cash out of Pittman coming off of a down week, but we've seen already
a pretty good rapport with both Richardson and Minshew in twenty twenty three with Pittman,
and don't forget Pittman on a contract year. His free agent market ku
look promising. In twenty twenty four, John McDonald he said, what is
your long term opinion on Jerome Ford after watching him the last few games?
I have him my one quarterback league. If I trade him, then what
do you think his value is? John? Great question. I think it's
a pressing topic. Is based on a situation of Cleveland's running back room.
I was in fact intrigued by four as a prospect out of Cincinnati. When
he slided the fifth round. It was actually rather surprising based on what he
put on film after Nick Chubb towards mcl and it sounded like there was a
bit of ACL damage post surgery. Based on reports, Four to suddenly back
on the fantasy football radar, at least in a short term. He's five
ten two ten, a solid not spectacular, with a profile four point four
six forty thirty one vertical and a nine foot tenix broad jump. He just
turned twenty four last month, so youth is on his side. We have
a three games Namphli size of him being the quote unquote featured back or at
least leading a committee. Week two at Pittsburgh sixteen for one oh six for
six point six yards per carry and then three twenty five ones receiver that was
on four targets. He was the PPR RB six that week on only fourty
nine percent of snaps. Week three verse Tennis, see you have a very
stout run defense. Ten rushes eighteen yards and a touchdown. Salvage's day one
point in yards per carry and then two for thirty three and one as a
receiver on three targets. RB seven that week on fifty six per cent of
snaps. Week four vers Baltimore tough defense, Notice Shawn Watson, it's w
a DTR. That experiment failed miserably. Forward nine totes twenty six yards,
good for only two point yards per clip, five grabs nineteen yards on six
targets. The downside was the production and we saw there was a bit touchdown
dependent in weeks two and three. However, he did play a season high
sixty two percent of snaps in week four that was encouraging. Now, assuming
Forward is your RB three year deeper, John is a bank chast set,
then my long term outlook is actually to cash out on him for a twenty
four first if not projected high second from a team in need of a running
back or a player of equal value that is less replaceable beyond twenty twenty three.
By that, I mean could the Browns use Nick Chubb a pounds return
and door sign a free agent draft the running back to unseat forward. So
we don't want that situation to occur, Yet it's a possibility because Ford is
replaceable, he isn't shown that he is a franchise running back. Chubbs knee
injury was serious, yet reportedly not as bad as it initially looked that night
during the primetime game. He's under contract that being a Chub with Cleveland until
twenty twenty five, a possible out in twenty twenty four before million detcap space.
We'll see what Cleveland decides to do if they exercise that or not,
depending one at that point in time, severity of his recovery timetable Ben.
There's a presence of Cream Hunt, who should continue to make a larger impact
as a season unfolds due to its familiarity with the Brown's offense. Hunt signed
a one year, one point three five million dollar contract seven twenty five thousand,
which was guaranteed not chump change but also not resetting the running back market.
Obviously, based on his career arc and age, Hunt has seen touch
totals of seven and five since debuting in week three. We will see if
his role increases or grows out of Cleveland's Week five By for now, I
assume that Ford is still one A to Hunt being one B. The ceiling
difference is that Hunt is a more capable and proven receiver, so he might
get more passing down or third down opportunities. All that to say collectively that
I view fords cur situation as want to capitalize on in dynasty while his value
is at a peak. Therefore they're going to sell him for a late first
or projected early seconds if not a player in that value range. Maton is
up next. He said, who are your best? Buy lows and sell
highs. Buy low. I at Bruce Hall. It's only going to get
better from here. The Jets are a mess offensively, but Bruese Hall the
talent is something to buy and invest in. Jamir Gibbs, It's been an
underwhelming, not disaster of a start, just the usage is not aligned with
draft capital or expectations. If you're in a full PPR league, I feel
confident in Gibbs long term gives is being eased in as a rookie. Dan
Campbell has full trust. Even Ben Johnson the OC and Dave Montgomery, who's
somewhat of a plotter, there's some elusiveness there. He's just a trustworthy early
down grinder who can pound between the tackles and make difficult yardage work while being
trustworthy to take on a large worklow. We saw them in Chicago and now
in Detroit. In a sense, day Montgomery is what Jamal Williams was in
twenty twenty two now in twenty twenty three. But based on Gibbs the player,
I've be willing to invest a first easily in him still. JSN spoke
about him last week in detail. Will repeat myself, but I think he's
one of the best buys in Dynasty. Javonte Williams. This hip injury sounds
minor, if anything. Try to buy that dip if you don't already have.
Jalil McLaughlin talked about him a lot preseason. Hopefully you stashed him and
could reap some short term rewards. But make no mistake that Javante, when
healthy, is the RB one in this committee. With the Broncos. Christian
Watson was eased in with the hamstring issue. We'll see a lot more of
him and his playmaking abilities explosive could be weak winning, if not league winning
at cost. Jerry Judy and others slow starts, but he's still getting his
feet uneath him from his soft tissue issue. Chris Godwin finally had a breakout
game and if Mike Evans is sidelined beyond the Buccaneers Week five by Govin could
be a staple in PPR lineups. John Dotson finally scored a touchdown in Week
four, but the usage and overall output of not aligned was rookie season.
Sophomore start has been a slump to this point, but I believe in a
talent this could be a Sam Howell issue, not Johan Dotson Zach Charbonnet.
So I'm looking to buy wherever I can. I just trade for him.
In a point two five point per carrying league, I gave up trailing burks
and a twenty fourth third for Sharbonne and a twenty four fourth that's also super
flex. I like the idea of having the RB two in Seattle, who
could have actually pushed for sixty fifty split and is one injury away of Kenneth
Walker from being a high end or middle of the pack RB one trailing Burks.
I spoke about him as a cell and the trade I gets made,
but there is bylow appeal on him missing week four with another separate knee injury.
The Tennessee passing attack is virtually non existent. That goes for Johncker,
Hopkins, Chigo Konquo. It's being funneled through Derrick Henry and Taj Spears.
To this point, Ryan Tannehill has been a roller coaster so far this season.
Burt's is a bet and investment on talent purely that Kendra Miller with Alvi
Kamara back in the full looking spry like his younger self, explosion burst as
both the Russia receiver could amount to Miller becoming an afterthought looked at Bylow on
him Pat Firemuth, This hamstring injury sounds a bit severe or at least the
possibility of it siling him for a bit. I have no context in terms
of one recording for a timeline, but based on what he did his rookie
and sophomore I want to buy low on his upside. If Matt Canna gets
fired. I think he is the issue d OC at Pittsburgh for the sake
of the entire offense, and Fine me there's a special talent at tight end.
Tank Bigsby lit it up in the preseason, has not done much come
the regular season. But if Etn continues to be a bit inefficient with his
ample volume, then I'm gonna be surprised if Jacksonville pivots a bit to tank
between the tackles or on early downs. And then Michael Mayer, who I
think is the most complete tight end prospect Minister's class. Samlaporta is lights out,
far and away most productive and is a great scheme fit for the Allion's
offense. But Michael Mayer out of Notre Dame, can pass, catch,
he can block. He's going to actually be an every down tight end in
this league. It's just been a slow burn for him with the Raiders,
who honestly are completely out of sync as an offense. So mayor someone to
certainly buy a low one and one tight end and tighter premium leagues if possible,
and then some self highs would be DeAndre Swift a question coming up on
him soon, so I'll explain myself more there, but I just don't know
if it's sustainable. Based on his injury history, Cooper Cup, it sounds
like the Rams are opening up. His twenty one day practice window could be
back as soon as week five based on age and his laundry list of durability
woes. If Cup comes back and lights it up for one or two weeks,
I want to get cash out, move on, get younger at wide
out or running back. This one's tough because I towered him a lot,
even digging back to last year as or prospect. It's devon hon we know
it's pronounced that way now and not a chain. I only have one share.
I got him at a second round valuation, which I was thrilled about
the early season. Dividends are out of this world unsustainable. He's not going
to score four touchdown to two touchdowns every week. He was always a bet
out of A and M as though volume yet high efficiency per touch sort of
outlook, and one of my boat predictions on one of my shows off season
was that he would leave the NFL among running backs either in yards per carry
yards per cacching. So far, so good, but no victory lapse yet.
There's a long road ahead. Teams will catch on to how Mike McDaniel
is using him in motion, both pre impost snap, and especially the red
zone usage. You'd have to think that were heem mostered, if not,
Wilson be utilized in those scenarios as well. There's just so many mounts to
feed in Miami. I bring Devine up as a possible sell high because people
could be valuing him immediately as a top five or so running back in Dynasty,
and I just don't think he is going to receive the volume based on
his smaller body frame to deliver or live up to that valuation. Of course,
if you have h Han roster, you're not going to sell low at
all. You have all the leverage in the world. But if someone comes
knocking and they're offering you a top twelve, if not twenty four asset in
Dynasty and your consensus value that, consider it or multiple first round picks.
Bottom line, every players a price, and if someone exceeds that, you
don't want to overthink it. Amari Cooper comes to mind. He's aging,
I'm just not sold this Cleveland offense is going to be all consistent. He's
had some good games already from weeks one to four, but there are weeks
where he also disappears, just based on his previous campaigns in the NFL.
Dave Montgomery I touched on the idea of him being the lead back in Detroit.
I don't think it's sustainable from a touchdown perspective, let alone volume point
of view because of his injury history. So if you could pivot from Montgomery
to Gibbs, if you're adding a bit to get it done, I would
do that in Dynasty redraft different story, but this is Dynasty oriented, of
course. Kyra Williams, I am a Hughes Williams fan. I'm notre dame.
I've talked him up a lot on this show the past few years.
I don't know if his body can would stand the workload that Sean mcvagh is
currently giving him on a week toweek basis. I hope. So, based
on all the shares I have, I'm just concerned that he needs to be
eased back a bit. That's why I think he's somewhat of a sell high.
And then Taje Spears Derrick Henry proved that he has not done or washed
in week four, not to say that he won't be phased out of games
if Tennessee is trailing in negative game script, that would adhere to Spears and
his skill set. But the idea that Spears will unseat Henry as soon as
this season could be a bit far affectioned. So if someone's still buying that,
you could try to sell that story and receive a draft pick or more
stable week to be commodity Reagan Zalez, he asked, what's DeAndre Swift's valueving
forward in one quarterback leagues? I put it in early to mid first,
closer to that mid first value point super flex, mid to late first,
specially when it comes to twenty twenty four the loaded quarterback class. There not
to mention wide receivers. No dout about it, though. Swift has a
over the past few weeks after being labeled to bust in Week one at New
England, where he total of one rush with three yards, one catch,
zero yards of two targets on only twentyninve percent of snaps. Week two vers
Minnesota was twenty eight for a buck seventy five and one on the ground three
for six to the receiver, a seventy five percent snap share. Week three
at Tampa Bay sixteen from one thirty on the ground, one catch eight yards
fifty four percent of snaps, and then Week four versus Washington fourteen fifty six
one on the ground and then four catches twenty three yards That was on sixty
three percent of snaps. DeAndre is being used as an early down between a
tackle rusher in Philadelphia. It's a role we really, if ever saw him
utilize with in Detroit. Hopefully to Trench continues. He is a free agent
in twenty twenty four. Whether he's brought back with the Philadelphia and or Testio
market is completely up for debate. What we can assert is that he is
RB one for the Eagles at this point in time ahead of kenth game.
Well game is getting a lot of passing down reps and two minute drills,
but swift it gets to healthy, should be on RB one if worst case
RB two map for rest of season. Hopefully that breakdown helps out ray Chad
puzz He said, can you give your opinion on best and worst case scenarios
for Jonathan Taylor's value? Best case is that JT is traded because it is
now public knowledge that Taylor does not want to play for the Colts. Well,
Indianapolis does not want to pay Taylor, but he's asking for in contract
negotiations. We sell the feud online between JT and Jim Urse. Worst case
is that JT remains with the Colts and slow players return this season only enough
for him to keep or maintain eligibilities of free agent in twenty twenty four.
Recent reports confirmed that JT could in fact return four week five when eligible offer
the pup list due to his lingering radical injury post surgery. The Colts asking
price has been confirmed as a high second round draft pick in real life.
Apparently no teams that are on the interest list, those being in Kansas City,
Buffalo, Green Bay, Miami, Los Angeles, Rams, Washington,
or Pittsburgh have met that cost. It's not unreasonable in terms of price tag
from the Colts, assuming the team that signs JT knows they can lock him
down to a long term contract. All that being said, Taylor himself from
twenty five in January. If he does come back, we could see situation
where he's either eased in, Zach Moss is still relevant, or he is
to JT of old. There's really no clarity at this point in time.

Those are always really engaging and beneficial from the feedback, I receive time
for that quick break and I'll be back with a few more questions to celebrate
it. But so a four hundred of this show. The next question was
left by Jim. He said, does anyone follow the show from an other
country? I thought that was a cool question. The United States accounts for
over ninety percent of my audience. Listeners from other countries include Canada, the
United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia. So that's really interesting to see the
reach of my show globally. Even though I'm not a household brand name with
a big conglomerate or media company. It's cool to see that other countries can
find listen support and even have interest in my show. Jim also asked does
anybody famous follow the show? I've interacted with a few professional athletes before online
from the NFL. The most notable athlete or player would be Aaron Jones.
We actually both file each other on Twitter. Whether or not he listened to
the show is another story. Aeron Jones, if you are listening, shout
out to you. I remember as a prospect out of UTEP. You really
were a nice sleeper when you declared for the NFL. And also, if
you're a fan of baseball, I think you'll find this really cool starting picture.
Cal Quantrill as a listener and subscriber over on Patreon. I'm a huge
fan of baseball, so when Cal joined, I was excited. So big
shout out to Cal Quandrill. Thanks for supporting the show and being a patrear
member. Your support means a ton. If anybody else, famous athlete wise
listen to the show, I think it'd be really cool. Obviously I have
no idea, but those are the only few examples I have. Last question
that Jim asked was why did you start a dynasty podcast? Growing up,
I was a huge sports fanning general. I can thank my dad for the
interest in fantasy football. I remember at a young age, even middle school,
he let me tag along and e actually co manage a few teams with
him in redraft. That sparked my interest right off the bat in fantasy football.
Then it ledding me writing and eventually where I'm at today making this podcast
a side hustle that is based out of passion. Just cool that I have
enough support to monetize it at this point. The ultimate goal is to make
this podcast a full time job. But it takes a lot to get to
that point in the podcasting space in industry. Makes for those questions. Jim
next was Levi Morrisey said, well, you send away Brian Robinson for Marquis
Brown. I think it's a pretty fair deal. Straight up. It depends
on your running back and wide receiver depth, all positions being equal, I
prefer Robinson over a straight up swap. Robinson only twenty four years old under
contract Washington twenty twenty six. Antonio Gibson seems like an afterthought in the teams
offetive plans, is a free agent himself in twenty twenty four, so this
is Robinson's backfield, make no mistake. Barring a lack of production on the
horizon, and Robinson himself off to a really hot start, double legit rushes
and all four games to dates and four total touchdowns. He's on the RB
one RB two borderline, if not only for his rushing volume. And then
Marquis Brown is twenty six. I'm gonna street the free agent in twenty twenty
four, currently benefiting from volume and solid quarterback play better than expected from Joshua
Dobbs Marquis has seen target totals of five, ten, seven, and ten
through four weeks in Arizona with three consecutive double J games and full PPR scoring.
Again, it's a fair swap. Depends if you need a running back
wide receiver more, but based on their current situations, give me Bryan Robinson
over Marquis Brown. Chris Pullman was up and actually said what software do you
use for your clean short crisp edits on the podcast Chris, I use garage
Band for recording editing my podcast episode. It's a free tool that is user
friendly for those who aren't music engineers or top end producers like myself. I
didn't know what I was doing when I started. I could sort of taught
myself through YouTube and trial by error if you will, if you go back
and listen to my earlier shows, I'm sure they were absolutely horrible when it
comes to audio quality and editing as a whole. But garage Bank truly is
a great resource, one that you could pick up fairly quickly if you don't
have a lot of experience with that sort of software technology. Aaron Dunn said,
what are the top couple of things you look for in making a rookie
draft pick. I look for age, college production, athletic profile, draft
capital, NFL team situation, and then even perceived opportunity. The tough part
there is where do you rank those? It could be different for each player,
quite honestly, in position quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight
end. More often than not, I'm really factoring in college production, athletic
profile, and draft capital. Those seem to be the largest dictators of success
or failure. The situation of a team and perceived opportunity is important, but
not the end all be all. Then, of course we want younger players,
those who are early to players out of college talking twenty one years old,
but I won't necessarily prioritize youth over any other factors that I discussed,
so as a recap age, college production, athletic profile, draft capital,
and then a team situation, a perceived opportunity. In the NFL cool question,
Aaron, George Ellen, what does your ideal roster construction look like?
Love your tears, thanks for being on Patreon, George. But on let's
say a twenty five man roster, twelve teams, super flex tighten premium.
What does a dynasty roster look like? A quarterback, running back, wide
receiver, a tight end. Thanks for the question. I tend to take
a balanced approach in super flex plus Titan Premium leagues if able to in the
draft flow or board allows for it. I want to lock down two top
twelve or twenty four quarterbacks within the first four rounds stable base. At that
point, then I usually take my dynasty approach that is applicable to any scoring
format where longevity at wide receiver becomes more valuable to me than short term production
at running back, borrowing a few exceptions like Bijan Robinson as a current example,
and then I tend to fade tight ends early on and start up drafts
and stepperfer to build up depth at the position unless an obvious value slides farther
than expected. So I'm not going to be reaching for a Travis Kelcey and
Mark Andrews a Hockinson. I'm waiting middle of the pack, if not to
the back end of that tight end one tight end two range, and going
for quantity over quality that position. Just because there's so much turnover violatility at
tight end. I don't want to not waste the resource or draft capital pick
there. But at the same time, I rather load up at quarterback,
running back by receiver, even a tighter premium. Let my league mates spend
that expensive price stack at tight end. Hopefully they're weaker at quarterback running back
by receiver. I'll take the risk and be weaker at tight end, lose
a competitive agure advantage in that capacity. Jason Williamson said, real or fake?
Who are players who started the season looking like a great dynasty asset who
might not actually be Ali Air cracked up to be? Who has started slow
that we should be patient with. Jason and I discussed this question a bit
before in Patreon. I liked it a lot, so I'm glad that you
brought it up for the sake of this show. Real, I would say,
is Sama Porta a great fit for Detroit, as I mentioned as the
air pairent replacement of Hockinson. Jordan Addison is coming off a goose formance,
but his usage and stats weeks one to three we're really encouraging. He needs
to unseats Kja Osbourne to become a unquestionable starter. I still think you're going
to start him most weeks, but until the unseats Osbourne, there's some risk
there, say Flowers has a lot of buzz deserve really so hasn't had the
best output so far, but I think before long he'll be able to Mark
Jackson's favorite target not named Mark Andrews. James Cook is off to a terrific
start. You all, I'm a big fan of him. Hopefully have shares
like myself. CJ. Stroud has been amazing to begin this twenty twenty three
campaign. The best rookie passer on pace historically, so it's even keeps it
up. If you haven't a super flex and he's your quarterback two or three,
you're in a great spot. Nico Collins, I've tied him before.
It's a breakout candidate. This is far exceed expectations. Hopefully maintains it,
keeps it up even Tank Dell same idea that he is starting off on a
quick pace. Lastly, I'll say Brock Purty talked about a few weeks ago
on a free show. He is a great scheme hit for Shanahan gets a
dumb weekend week out, doesn't have the hight ceiling, but an oh so
say floor think Kirk Cousins to a lesser extent and then fake. I would
put Damian Pierce in that bucket just because he's so volume dependent, has nice
wiggle and after contact ability. But I just don't think he's going to be
a starter for long in this league. Rashad White, his efficiency is dreadful.
However, he has volume working in his favor. My fear or concern
is that he's eventually replaced. It won't probably be Shan Tucker or Keyshawn Vaughan.
White should be safe at twenty twenty three. It's a question of beyond
this season, what does it look like in all of his underlying metrics indicate
that he is underachieving based on the work though he's receiving. Naji Harris talked
about him on Patreon his past week as a panic player five out of five
on the scale, if you want to break down on that recommend lasting on
Patreon, it's always been kid based on what it took to acquire him in
most leagues, borderline first Army draft pick. I think he has been a
bust so far. I do have concern that he's being utilized as an underneath
shallow weapon. Whereas we thought he would stretch a field, seems stretch not
the case so far. Alexander Madison with Cammakers around, I just don't want
a part of that backfield unless he is depth for you. Khalil Herbert had
a nice Week four, but I think Roshan Johnson will eventually push Herbert for
more and more work. Cam Akers now in tandem with Alexander Madison is someone
that I am simply out on at cost unless you can get him dirt cheap
and then lastly fake. I would say Darious Tony has all the talent in
the world, but usage and durability have not been consistent enough for him to
showcase what he's capable of. The problem is you're not going to get much
for him in a trade, so he's becoming a son cost and or just
a piece to keep on your bench until he's a few weeks. Could possibly
flip him for a second in a best case scenario. And the last question
was left by Zach. He says, this Keneth Walker finished an RB one
that's a tough one in a twelve team league, meaning he'll be top twelve
more running backs. I'd take that bet. By an injury, of course,
that would sil on him for an extended period of time. Well,
I don't think his current rushing touchdown raid is sustainable. He has four touchdowns
in weeks two three combined. That is something that sort of raises my eyebrow
beat. There's a rushing coming. I will state that for a time stamp
or just contact purposes. This episode's being recorded prior to Seattle versus the Giants,
so we'll see how Walker fares in that contest. But so far,
Week one versus La Rams twelve sixty four on the ground, four catches three
yards on sixty three percent of snaps. Week two a Detroit seventeen forty three
two on the ground one for eleven on sixty one percent of snaps, and
then Week three verse Carolina eighteen ninety seven two on the ground three fifty nine
is receiver on fifteen percent of snaps, So the snap rate has gone down
three straight weeks. On the flip side, Zach Scharbona's is increasing. That's
my concern with gawkers that Sharbonnet continues to showcase his versatility as a rusher and
pass catcher. His explosion seems a bit more quick or evident, whereas Kenneth
Walker has build up speed. Right, it's not the same. Walker does
have unique ability able to start stop on a dime while creating yardage seemingly out
of nowhere on what appears to be negative rushing plays. Does it time and
time again at least a few weeks. But there's also the downside that Walker
gets a lot of volume, it doesn't do much with it, so if
you don't find the end zone, he's a vout. A last set in
fifteen games played as a rookie in twenty twenty two, Walker ranked as the
PPR RB eighteen puts him as the middle of the pack RB two. He's
on PACE two crushes RB eighteen pace from last season. Time will tell I
do year though Zach Sharbonnay will continue to eat into his workload, and Sharbonny
is one of my favorite bilo is Right now, Kenneth Walker is on the
other side of the spectrum where he sought after. There's an RB one.
But by the time you fast forward end this campaign, will the spread between
Walker and Sharbonny it be all that different. That's a million dollar question.
But to answerr questions, Zach, do I think Walker finishes an RB one?
I know it's sort of taking a heg, but if he's not injured,
I do think it finishes the top twelve long running backs. We'll see
how it shakes out. Thank you all so much for listening to four mged
