So let's get to it. 19 00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:30,159 Emerging talent or a fluke up. First, I have Keidan Mitchell, 20 00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:34,040 running back Baltimore Ravens. He's only twenty one. Talk about a terrific young 21 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,879 investment from a dynasty lens UDFA out of East Carolina, elite straight line speed 22 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,879 four point three seven forty yard dash at five nine one ninety one. The 23 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,439 size concerns were what made him undrafted based on most rhetoric out of the pre 24 00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:51,439 impost NFL draft process, not many teams we'll spend a Day two, let 25 00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:53,400 alone Day three pick on running back that's sub six feet and not even two 26 00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:57,400 hundred pounds. Even so, on his college film, Keidan Mitchell has played 27 00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:02,680 some elements or traits innocent of Chris Johnson TJ two K, who was outright 28 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:07,439 terrific with his time in Tennessee with the Titans for a solid stretch of half 29 00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:10,639 a decade. He was an elite fantasy commodity. Not saying that Mitchell is 30 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,560 Chris John's two point zero, but the straight line speed and breakaway big playability 31 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:21,240 does have some shared similarities. Keaton's first NFL rushing attempt came in Week nine 32 00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:23,800 verse Seattle, where he delivered a nine for one thirty eight and one touchdown 33 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,719 effort on the ground only eighteen percent of snaps, incredibly small sample size. 34 00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:31,759 Baltimore had a huge lead against Seattle, so the question was did Mitchell see 35 00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:36,960 reps because of the lead and game flow or was this Baltimore trying to incorporate 36 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,719 Mitchell into the hinsive game plan from here on out. Well, postgame OC 37 00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:45,800 Todd Makin admitted that Mitchell has earned more opportunities with that big performance. The 38 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,800 question in tlement is what kind of workload does that translate to. That's unknown 39 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,000 the rest of season. The short term answer was Week ten, where Keaton 40 00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:57,319 dealt with a hamstring injury leading up to the contest versus Cleveland. He managed 41 00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:00,840 to contribute three rushes thirty four yards and a touchdown, including a thirty nine 42 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,719 yard touchdown run. So at some point during the game he lost five more 43 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,759 yards, then had a catch for thirty two yards. All on twenty four 44 00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:09,759 percent of snap so small increased snap sharewise from eighteen to twenty four. In 45 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,240 a closer contest, the context is still very minimal. We don't have a 46 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,840 lot of data to work with, but it does appear that slowly but surely, 47 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,319 Mitchell's role is expanding a bit for the Ravens over the second half of 48 00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:24,159 this campaign. Meanwhile, same game, Week ten versus Cleveland, Gus Edwards 49 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:29,039 eleven rushes twenty four yards, one touchdown, one catch for four yards on 50 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,120 fifty two percent of snaps. He's the alpha in his backfield for now without 51 00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:35,759 JK. Dobbins, of course. And then Justice Hill was two rushes seven 52 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,319 yards on twenty six percent of snaps, had a touchdown called back, which 53 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,639 will not show up in the box score, but if you're watching the game, 54 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,199 you saw what I saw. Nonetheless, Baltimore is a full blown RBBC, 55 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,000 and thats difficult to predict when it comes to usage week to week and 56 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,080 often depends on game flow. It does seem that if Baltimore has a larger 57 00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:55,840 lead and or looking for explosive plays, then Michell's going to see plenty of 58 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,719 reps. But Gus Edwards is the bruiser between the tackles grinder, short yard 59 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:04,719 situations, red zone relied on in that capacity. Another note on Mitchell and 60 00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:08,319 I'm excited about him, thinking he's more of an emerging talent than a fluke, 61 00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:12,680 is that he dominated the college level independence of the lower level competition. 62 00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:15,399 We'll dismiss that for now. Final two rushing logs were one to seventy four 63 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,439 eleven thirty two and nine touchdowns and then two toh one fourteen fifty two, 64 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,079 fourteen touchdowns career wise, four hundred and sixty three rushes, six and a 65 00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:28,319 half yards for totes and sixty total receptions. He's not going to be a 66 00:04:28,319 --> 00:04:30,279 featured back at the pro level due to the five to nine one ninety nine 67 00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:33,360 body frame, but it does leave hope that the Ravens found a diamond in 68 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,240 the rough or hitting gem. As a UDF fan of East Carolina, at 69 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,839 this point, Mixell should be universally rostered in all dinasty leagues. If not, 70 00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:43,959 he's a top priority ad off the waver wire, burning your fab or 71 00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:46,720 wave priority, whatever it may be. It's only twenty one. Baltimore has 72 00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:51,560 always been a run heavy team in the past with previous ocs, and even 73 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,959 more so now with Todd Makin. Whereas we thought it was going to be 74 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,399 an air raid almost more aired out down field, that has not been the 75 00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:02,319 case because Baltimore's wide out to be manic consistence, even Jay Flowers. As 76 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,920 a result, the bread and butter of the Ravens offensive attack and game plan 77 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,519 has been through them all on the ground, but more importantly Gus Edwards, 78 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,120 Justice Hill, and recently Keaton Mitchell. So I think he's an emerging talent 79 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,240 and it's not a fluke. Up next is Khalil Shakir, wide receiver Buffalo 80 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,240 Bills. He's twenty three, a fifth rounder out of Boise States in twenty 81 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,000 twenty two, who did not contribute all that much as a rookie ten catches, 82 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,360 one hundred and sixty one yards, one touchdown, twenty targets in fourteen 83 00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:31,560 games played. Underwhelming was more depth than anything else. And then we fast 84 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,879 forward to this offseason. Third reports that Shakira might have been a cut post 85 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,360 uned first, let alone fifth sixth on a team's depth chart. It did 86 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,560 not look all that bright or optimistic suddenly, Ever, since Dawson Knox has 87 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,879 been sidelined with that wrist surgery, Khalil has seen his role expand in Buffalo's 88 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,839 offense with output of four for thirty five sixt or ninety two four for fifty 89 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,920 seven. And then I'm recording this prior to Monday night's game vers Denver, 90 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,920 so we'll see how Shakir performs. I'm expecting a decent game baryann Ing, 91 00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:02,639 So there's a context as to why I'm not talking about his performance in Week 92 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,680 ten. But one game positive and negative is not going to dictate the value 93 00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:12,240 or career arc of Shakir. He was a polarizing college prospect because the draft 94 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,439 capital fifth round did not align with the tape or production. He went seventy 95 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,519 seven, eleven, seventeen, and seven during his final year in college twenty 96 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:25,879 twenty one, and brought measurables athletic traits that are usually highly sought after for 97 00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:28,800 a wide out that can line up in the slot or even out wide at 98 00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:30,920 times. Those were four point four to three four yard dash thirty four and 99 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,879 a halvas vertical ten foot four inch broad jump, all at six feet one 100 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,959 ninety. His playing style reminded me of Julian Edelman as a prospect in terms 101 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,439 of being shipped in space a lucif after the catch. With an underappreciated physicality, 102 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,319 Shakiir is not a big wide receiver, but he's not afraid to initiate 103 00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:49,800 contact and wiggles way through defenders, especially after the catch. Now, it 104 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:55,360 is hard to determine if Shakir's emerging role is going to stick or disappear once 105 00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:59,879 Dawson Knox eventually returns. It makes him more of a short term than long 106 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,720 term value or commodity for the sake of us being in a playoff push here 107 00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:06,160 in Dynasty. But if you're looking ahead to twenty twenty four, now's the 108 00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:11,439 time to botch Shakir for a third or a fourth because Gabe Davis is a 109 00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:15,839 UFA in twenty twenty four, meaning Shakir's AUTO could improve drastically as soon as 110 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,600 next season or during the offseason. Then again, we're not surprising me at 111 00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:23,160 off the Bills or in the market for a free agent wideout or spend a 112 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,079 Day one or Day two draft pick. Al it's a loaded twenty twenty four 113 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,199 our receiver class to compliment Stefan Diggs or a place Gabe Davis, But Shakir 114 00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:35,680 could become a slot fixture for Josh Allen if less and less two tight end 115 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,199 sets are utilized. The issue at hand is that Dawson Knox is a terrific 116 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,160 blocker, while we witnessed Delton Kaid's role grow exponentially week over week as a 117 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,399 adept pass catcher who's a glorified obe receiver for being honest that plays tight end 118 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,759 regardless of bringing it back to Khlil Shakir. He's more of a hold than 119 00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:57,120 sell For me. I don't fully trust him in lineups quite yet outside of 120 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,319 deep leagues. However, that tune could change quickly if he becomes more and 121 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:05,240 more involved in terms of Josh Allen peppering him with targets, and that is 122 00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:07,879 contingent upon Dawson Knox in his timeline to return, which at this point there's 123 00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:11,160 not much clarity, so we keep an eye on that, but more or 124 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,680 less, I think Shakiir is an emerging talent based on the college profile that 125 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,519 a lot of us were excited about, and then Landing and Buffalo put the 126 00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:20,560 ice in on the cake. Up next is Cad Otten, who's twenty four 127 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,519 fourth round selection out of Washington last year rookie line of forty two three to 128 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,240 ninety one to two, which is not that bad for a rookie tight end. 129 00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:30,759 On sixty five targets for nine point three yards per catch, Caid was 130 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,799 fairly productive for a college tight end prospect as well. Ninety one career catches 131 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,240 nine touchdowns was across four years of school. Ouden himself as a pro as 132 00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:43,519 a sophomore, has been more involved as a late for the Buccaneers output since 133 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:46,679 Week seven of five for forty three four for twenty seven the breakout game six 134 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:52,320 seventy two touchdowns back down to earth Week ten two grabs ten yards. I'm 135 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,120 intrigued because Tampa Bay's OC Dave Canalis has featured out and extensively with forty one 136 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,320 targets in nine games played. That's well on pace past DCC five targets he 137 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,639 posted as a rookie. The issue at hand as the Buccaneers are loaded with 138 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,519 other weapons on offense. You have Mike Evans, Chris Gobin, Rashad White, 139 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,559 even Trey Palmer having a salb rookie campaign. Therefore, Auden's growing chemistry 140 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,279 at Baker Mayfield is clear. Twenty four targets since Week seven, forty one 141 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,759 targets in the year. I just don't know if it's a locked in enough 142 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:24,159 role to offer US Titan one value unless he finds the end zone like the 143 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,360 two touchdown performance in week nine. He's more of a low ceiling, say 144 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,720 floor commodity that at this point is third or fourth in line four targets in 145 00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:35,840 Tampa Bay. So that being said, I think the production we've seen as 146 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,360 a late is an outlier or a fluke for the sake of this content of 147 00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:41,759 the episode. I don't think that kay Down's going to emerge as a clearcut 148 00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:46,080 tight end one, at least not this season. Time for a quick break 149 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,679 and then two more emerging talents or flukes for twenty twenty three. One quick 150 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,879 shout out. If you want to get on my calendar for a thirty minute 151 00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:54,320 or one hour roster call, be sure to hit me up. That's Doynasy 152 00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:00,240 Dopod at gmail dot com or donasdu Pod on Twitter, Instagram. It's you 153 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,600 on Facebook. It's thirty minutes, thirty bucks or one hour fifty dollars. 154 00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:07,480 We'll break down your team top to bottom or teams if you could fit it 155 00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:09,480 in the time window that you were interested in. Like I mentioned last week, 156 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:11,720 this is a good time to schedule a call because we're in the thick 157 00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:16,759 of the playoff hunt. You're either in it somewhere in between making that push, 158 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:18,679 or you're out of the picture. Even if you're out of the picture, 159 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,120 you can recuperate draft capital now with different strategies, trade tactics. And 160 00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:26,720 that's what I'm there for on these Google meet calls to discuss your roster in 161 00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,279 great details. So reach out and if interested, I don't think you regret 162 00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:31,120 it, and get a lot of great feedback from those calls. We'll be 163 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,759 right back Chewba Hubbard is up next, running back Carolina Panthers, twenty four 164 00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:41,600 fourth round pick out Oklahoma States. In twenty twenty one, he slid farther 165 00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:46,480 than expected. He returned to school after a fight out dominant twenty nineteen season, 166 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,039 which I think was a mistake in hindsight, where he ran for a 167 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,399 three to twenty eight twenty ninety four twenty one rushing log good for six point 168 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,200 four yards per carry. That's insane, almost three in thirty rushing attempts, 169 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,000 over two thousand yards and north of twenty rushing touchdowns. It was a high. 170 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,320 It's been caliber campaign for Cuba Hubbard. Let's look it as NFL production 171 00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:05,480 to date twenty twenty one, one seventy two, six, twelve and five 172 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,559 on the ground unimpressive three point six yards per clip twenty five one seventy four 173 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,440 to one as receiver that was on thirty seven targets. Software campaign regressed a 174 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,240 bit in terms of volume ninety five four to C six two for four point 175 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:22,120 nine ers per carry and then fourteen for a bucks seventy one on seventeen targets. 176 00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:24,679 It's now year three Miles Sanders. Surprising, it has taken a back 177 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:30,120 seat to Hubbard as RB one in Carolina, despite the massive free agent contract 178 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,240 he signed of four years twenty five point four million, thirteen million, which 179 00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:39,039 was guaranteed to Miles Sanders. Since the Panthers Week seven five whose offen went 180 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,320 teams make adjustments or offensive personnel or snap changes, Cuba has led running back 181 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,080 duties for Carolina, with game logs of fifteen for twenty eight and then two 182 00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:52,360 for twenty six as a receiver FIRS Houston sixteen fifty eight, four for nine 183 00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:56,080 versus Indy, and then nine for twenty three and two for sixteen at Chicago. 184 00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:58,159 The efficiency is dreadful. But then again, the Caroline Panthers have a 185 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,799 medio gogre offensive one bottom three cords of the league, depending on the grade 186 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,960 unit you look at. We've seen Bryce Young struggle. A lot of that 187 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,360 is because he has no time to make decisions and he's kneaking nunky instead of 188 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,480 airing out downfield. There's a lot of factors in play here. Let's focus 189 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,879 on the running back distribution of touches. Now, keep in mind, over 190 00:12:15,919 --> 00:12:18,360 that same span of time, Miles Sanders has turned in efforts of two rushes 191 00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:22,360 zero yards, then six for thirty nine, three for twenty two. As 192 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,440 a receiver. This past week, Week ten, two rushes negative five yards 193 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,440 and then two grabs fifteen yards. This is most important. Hubbard's snap share 194 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,279 over the past three weeks sixty seven percent, sixty three and fifty. Conversely, 195 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:39,120 sanders snapshare past three weeks eighteen twenty five thirty eight blind resume wise, 196 00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:43,000 we see that Chewe Hubbard is the featured back in Carolina and Panthers new OC 197 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,039 Thomas Brown seems to prefer Hubbard as a team's primary running back. Now, 198 00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:50,720 whether or not that actually translates to much in terms of fantasy value or output 199 00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:56,039 remains to be seen because Carolina is one of the worst teams in football offensively 200 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,879 from a creativity and just efficiency standpoints. Yet running backs that a guarantee volume 201 00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:03,879 are hard to find, So Hubbard is on the futs radar. But in 202 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,080 terms of the topic of this week's show, emerging talent or Fluke, I'm 203 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,240 going with Fluke, and it's less to do with the talent of Hubbard more 204 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,879 to do with the situation at hand. I was a huge Hubbard fan out 205 00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:18,159 to Oklahoma State and I thought he should have declared in twenty twenty to the 206 00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:20,919 NFL after that dominant twenty nineteen season, not the case. Became a mid 207 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,440 round draft pick, started off as a backup, and now is his chance 208 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,559 to shine. Perhaps Hubbard surprises us all second half of the season and submith 209 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:31,960 himself as RB one in Carolina for next season. I doubt that's the case, 210 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,080 Yet the role the volume is there for the taking. And last, 211 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,600 but not least, will Lovis. He's twenty four second rounder out of Kentucky 212 00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:41,399 this year, was projected to be a first round talent. There's a lot 213 00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:43,600 of off field question marks when it came to his ego, his work ethic 214 00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:48,600 personality. Was he really a leader in the locker room? All that could 215 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,799 be cast aside now because he's a starter in Tennessee. He spent two seasons 216 00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:56,480 in school Penn State before Shawan Clifford overtook quarterback duties and then finished his college 217 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,720 resume or tenure with Kentucky from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two. His 218 00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:03,399 career numbers in school a sixty four point nine percent passer that's with both schools 219 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,440 Penn State and Kentucky, and then a forty six to twenty five touchdown interception 220 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,960 ratio. But the underrated element of Will Levis in a skill set is the 221 00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:16,799 rushing ability and over authletic traits he brings to the field a three twelve, 222 00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:22,960 seven, forty two seventeen touchdown collective rushing log in school, which I think 223 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,639 is whereas fans football side becomes very interesting rest of season, let alone heading 224 00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:31,120 to twenty twenty four, assuming Levis is the answer at quarterback for the Titans, 225 00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:33,559 we have a three game sample size so far. In twenty twenty three. 226 00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,679 It was Week eight versus Atlanta, a breakout party nineteen to twenty nine 227 00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:41,759 two thirty eight, four touchdowns, no picks, seven rushes eleven yards. 228 00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:46,960 Since then zero touchdowns, two picks. It was Week nine at Pittsburgh twenty 229 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,200 two to thirty nine for two ct two through the air, zero touchdowns, 230 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,559 one interception, one rush two yards, and then his past week Week ten, 231 00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:56,399 tough match up at Tampa Bay nineteen to thirty nine for one n nine 232 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,840 through the air, no touchdowns and that one interception, not a single rushing 233 00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:05,320 attempt, So the rushing output has diminished the past two weeks. The yardage 234 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,840 has been on par, not close to what he did his debut, but 235 00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:11,440 the touchdowns have been non existent. A couple factors in play. Tough matchups 236 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,720 against Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay compared to Atlanta, who their defense looked really good 237 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,840 for the first quarter half of the season but since taking a bit of a 238 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,519 step back. So perhaps Will Levis and company caught the Falucans by surprise with 239 00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:26,759 that much tape to go off of. No matter what you spin it, 240 00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:28,440 the Titans are three and six, so turning back to Ryan Tannehill, it 241 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,879 makes little to no sense. This is now a litmus test rest of season 242 00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:37,200 for Levis, a audition if you will for him to become a franchise cornerstone 243 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,440 or building block. For it appears to be more of a rebuild than competitive 244 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,480 team in Tennessee. The organization needs to hit the reset button and retool a 245 00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:48,320 bit. I like will Levis. I think that he brings a lot of 246 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,000 physicality, good decision making, likes to be aggressive downfield. Give me that 247 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,879 nine times out of ten over an indecisive quarterback who is scared to air it 248 00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:00,559 out beyond the short intermediate routes. Will Levis is going to make me because 249 00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:04,039 he does try to have that Baker Mayfield mentality of my arm stronger than coverage 250 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,919 in man zone, whatever may be, I'm gonna find a receiver or an 251 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,120 outlet in the window that's tight, which sure leads it turnovers. But from 252 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,879 a fantasy lens, give me more volume passing and of actually the baked in 253 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,279 rushing up side of Will Levis, and I think that he's an emerging talent 254 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,600 in the NFL and fantasy. It's not a fluke. His first game might 255 00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:26,679 have been a fluke in terms of four touchdowns throwing. Tennessee is still a 256 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,799 run heavy scheme led by Derrick Henry, but the talent itself. Levis could 257 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,440 have very well been a first round pick in real life had not been for 258 00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:37,360 the reported bad interviews with NFL teams. That part of a player profile is 259 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,919 more important to NFL teams who are baking in millions of dollars to sink a 260 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:48,440 first round pick investment in whereas us from fantasy playing with virtual draft picks means 261 00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:52,639 less we're betting on talent. Situation. Ship prevail and Will Levis now has 262 00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:56,200 a starting job to hopefully cement himself as a back end quarterback one, if 263 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,279 not streambolle quarterback two. Rest of the way that will do. It'll be 264 00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:03,920 all enjoyed my episode discussing Emerging Talent or a Fluke.
