Good evening, Good evening. 66 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.039 How are you doing tonight? 67 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.319 Doing excellent? I like, I don't know about you, Steph. 68 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.439 Like I think the schedule release holds some cachet for 69 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.479 obviously a lot of best ball people out there, so 70 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.719 we can see who we're stacking in week seventeen. But 71 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.840 for me, it's more of like an NFL fan event, 72 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.080 like I get excited to see who my packers are 73 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.120 playing when they're playing. Obviously Fantasy enters into it as well. 74 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.599 You're a Cowboys fan, right, I mean, are you excited 75 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:50.479 to see Cowboys are going to be this year? 76 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.360 I am pretty excited. I mean I think that they 77 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.120 did good, you know, fixing their defense, We got pickens. 78 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.840 Seems like everything's like following, you know, all in line now, 79 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.360 So I'm not sure what we're gonna do if Davonte 80 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.000 Williams gets hurt, but you know, well we'll get there. 81 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.199 We'll get there, but I'm definitely excited to see who we. 82 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:15.360 Play the all my Dynasty shares of Jadeen Blue would 83 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:19.000 would skyrock, although I I you know, honestly, if Williams 84 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.120 were to get hurt, I mean, you're you're more plugged 85 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:22.879 into that team than I am. Probably be sort of 86 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.319 a committee approach, wouldn't it be if Williams were to 87 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:25.680 go down. 88 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.399 I mean, they really haven't like committed to anybody as 89 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.920 the RB two necessarily, So yeah, I would. I mean, yeah, 90 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.240 I definitely am not sure it would be Blue because 91 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.120 I mean, and he's definitely not a bell cow so 92 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:40.040 I don't see how he would take over, you know, 93 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.160 all the work. So definitely would see some other guys 94 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.480 in there. I would hope they would bring somebody else 95 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.480 in probably, but who knows. 96 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.959 We uh, we will get into more cowboys stuff throughout 97 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.319 the show tonight. I didn't want to get that out 98 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.720 of the way at the start. For sure, coming up 99 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.399 on the program, it's gonna be kind of weird how 100 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.959 we're going to do the show tonight. Now, first segment 101 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:03.279 where Steph and I are gonna go around the NFL. 102 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.439 There's some player stuff that we have to sort of 103 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.240 suss out. I want to get Steph's opinion on certain 104 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.639 players and whether they're targets, fades, or kind of in 105 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.240 the middle for her this year. And then in the 106 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.439 second segment, we'll be watching the schedule release, or at 107 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.680 least I'll be watching the schedule release along with everybody 108 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.120 else here, and we'll talk about some of the games 109 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.720 that are standing out to us. There's one that I 110 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.319 think we'll talk about the lead off the segment I 111 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.560 think I got released yesterday, a pretty important Week seventeen 112 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.399 game that I know best ballers are definitely excited about. 113 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.439 And then the final segment, we will go over Steph's 114 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:41.319 Women of Fantasy Football Best Ball Tournament team that she drafted. 115 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.319 Stacey Prez, our mutual friend, puts this together every year 116 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.959 FFPC hosts it, and I want to get your thoughts 117 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:48.480 and just a few of the picks that you made, 118 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.160 and that'll be the show tonight, and that'll carry you 119 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.439 into hopefully an early start for your weekend. Unlike Steph 120 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.160 and I, who are probably going to be working like 121 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.160 dogs tomorrow, so it doesn't doesn't really matter for Uslet's 122 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.639 get into it stuff. Devon ah Chan extended by the 123 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.519 Miami Dolphins. It is four years, sixty eight million. I 124 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:14.319 do believe in it was a Moniker that Bryce Hall 125 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.360 had for just a couple of days, or maybe it 126 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.360 was vice versa, but now I believe it's a Chan 127 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:24.439 who is the third highest paid running back in the NFL. 128 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.480 And what I think is interesting about this, Steph, is 129 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.439 there are a couple of schools of thought on this, 130 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.759 given that he is going as far as ADP goes 131 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.279 in the FFPC, Big Gorilla right now over the last 132 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.639 seven day shout out Fantasy Mojo, Darren ARMANI. If you're 133 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.959 playing in the FFPC, get a subscription in Fantasy Mojo. 134 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.680 It's going to help you out quite a bit, both 135 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.600 preseason and during the season. Devon e Chan's ADP two 136 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.360 toh one right now, Steph, that's running back seven. So 137 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.040 if you are of the opinion that this guy is 138 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.079 an elite pass catcher, that his talent is going to 139 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:01.879 supersede the lack of offensive weaponry in Miami, then you're 140 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.319 probably willing to pay that turn one two turn price 141 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.240 for a Chan right now. However, if you are believing 142 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.040 that Jesus Christ himself could not put up a top 143 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.959 fifteen running back season on this Miami offense. You're probably 144 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.240 taking James Cook or Genty or Lamb or Jefferson there 145 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.439 instead instead of a Chan. How do you fall in 146 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:26.879 on this? Because we saw e Chan do it last year. 147 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.519 But as hard as it is to believe, this Dolphins 148 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.199 offense probably gonna be significantly worse than it was in 149 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:34.160 twenty twenty five. 150 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.519 Yeah, I mean I think obviously this has got to 151 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.360 be pretty positive for how they view him. I mean, 152 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.879 they're gonna use him as a weapon, and I think 153 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.800 a lot of it is like he's had a ton 154 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.399 of production and as you said, like last year he 155 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.279 was the top receiver in terms of yards per care, 156 00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:58.000 yards per carry in yards after contact. A lot of 157 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.120 people are not giving him some time the credit he deserves. 158 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.399 He's created a lot of yards after that contact and 159 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.079 created his own yards and things. So yeah, I do 160 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.720 agree that obviously there is some implosion risk with the Dolphins, 161 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.439 but I still want to target him. I mean he's 162 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.680 likely to be pretty much they're one of their top receivers. 163 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.920 I mean, in his three years he had about one 164 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.279 hundred and seventy two receptions, five hundred and forty four carries. 165 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.560 I mean, he's a stut. I mean they did pay 166 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:29.759 him for a reason. They gave him a lot of 167 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.320 guaranteed money as well. This is a big contract, huge 168 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.080 contract for a running back. So I am definitely in 169 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.399 on him this year. Also, I like sometimes when they 170 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.759 have that mobile quarterback, it might open up some things. 171 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.320 You know, they're not going to be able, They're going 172 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.120 to have to account for that as well, and not 173 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.279 just hopefully be able to stack the box. But we'll see, 174 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:50.799 We'll see what happens. 175 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:56.240 You bring up the mobile quarterback aspect, and historically I've 176 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.600 kind of shied away from that, where like because I 177 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.000 think sometimes mobile quarter rather than dump it off, we'll 178 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.879 just take off and run, right. But Chan, I think 179 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.799 is a little bit different because, I mean, they are 180 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.480 so young at wide receiver on this team, they are 181 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.600 so inexperienced, and you just rattled off how many one 182 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:17.679 hundred and seventy plus catches he's had over the last 183 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:21.080 couple of years. I almost think that the dump off 184 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.120 thing is not really something we should concern the stars 185 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.840 about at all. We should be looking at. They have 186 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.480 to feature this guy both in the running and the 187 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:32.559 passing game, because he's gonna make their offense go. If 188 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.559 if ah Chan isn't crushing it on offense, Dolphins aren't 189 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.600 putting up points. And I think a defense can only 190 00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:44.519 key on one guy so much before it does open 191 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.240 up stuff for you know, stuff like you know Caleb 192 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:51.559 Joseph and and Malik Washington and and you know dulsicch 193 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:52.919 and all these other guys they have on the team. 194 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:54.879 And then quite frankly, they could add I've been saying 195 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.240 this for the last couple of months. They could add 196 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.720 Deebo Samuel, they could add Stefan Diggs, they could add 197 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:00.559 you know, Keenan Allen or something, and all of a sudden, 198 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.519 this offense isn't looking all that bad. But yeah, I 199 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.159 think that's the way to look at it. Is the 200 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:10.039 pass catching for a Chan might even go up this 201 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.279 year then from what it was last year, and that's 202 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:15.480 maybe he's worth the price at the one two turn. 203 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.559 I did pass on him recently in favor of Amar 204 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.519 and Hampton, and you have me rethinking that decision of stuff. 205 00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.759 I might want to have that draft pick back. Moving 206 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.240 on to Molik Neighbors here. We talked about this on 207 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.080 the heigh Stakes Fantasy Football Hour last night, But I 208 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:30.840 want to get your thoughts on this. Dan Dugan, who 209 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:34.879 covers the Giants for the Athletics, said that Neighbors had 210 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.240 a cleanup procedure done on his knee a few weeks ago, 211 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:42.399 and it was to remove some scar tissue that was 212 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.120 causing stiffness in the knee. Now, according to Dugan, this 213 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.879 does not affect his timeline back to the field at all. 214 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.000 They're still hopeful that he's ready for Week one, although 215 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.639 I think the Giants, if you asked him to be 216 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.679 completely honest with us, they would probably tell you that 217 00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.879 they don't feel great about a specific date that he's 218 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.840 going to be back. Yet they're still kind of figuring 219 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.320 it out as well. This was week four when he 220 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.639 tore his ACL last year, did not have surgery on 221 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:09.919 it until about a month or so later. Now, he 222 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.879 has been tumbling in drafts in the in the Big 223 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.399 Gorilla Molik, Neighbors is now barely in the top ten 224 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.159 for wide receivers. He's wide receiver nine right now, and 225 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.840 he's becoming a pick at the two three turn after 226 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.200 you know, being like sort of at that early second 227 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.240 round pick. Maybe a month or so ago, so FFPC 228 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:32.320 players are gradually wearing down on neighbors. How concerned are you, 229 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:36.399 Steph knowing about this procedure now and knowing that the giants, 230 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.960 you know again, I feel like are kind of a 231 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.840 little bit in the dark of when they think he's 232 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.799 gonna be out there. Obviously, everybody's hopeful that they're ready 233 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.639 for week one, but you never know your level of 234 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.639 concern and how you're handling neighbors in drafts right now, 235 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.240 what you would tell people to do well. 236 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.000 I mean, so I do have a little bit of 237 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.679 knowledge on injuries. So first of all, it was not 238 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.600 a clean ACL tear. It was ACL. There was some meniscus, 239 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.639 and I believe it was LCL or I have to 240 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.000 look up. I believe one of the other limits as 241 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.720 well was involved. So yet, like you said, they didn't 242 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.960 operate right away. There was a little bit of time, 243 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.759 which is not unusual. So with the meniscus, it's like 244 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.519 the time they're taking to come back into the rehab. 245 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:21.759 A lot of times they are a little bit more 246 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.600 conservative with like what they're doing in some of their processes. 247 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:25.840 And. 248 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:29.080 It seemed like he didn't have a lot of the 249 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.399 range of motion they would want him to have, so 250 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.639 the scartest can impede that. It can also impede some 251 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.799 of the circulation, blood flow, healing, So adding that second 252 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:42.879 surgery made sense. I don't think it will affect him, 253 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.360 say in Dynasty like over in the outcome, but I 254 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.720 would expect that it is, regardless of what they're saying, 255 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.799 going to push the timeline back a little bit. I 256 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.759 also think that if he plays what he is not 257 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.720 going to be anywhere near one hundred percent, and you 258 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:02.279 were not going to want to be drafting him where 259 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:06.960 he goes Week one, I would think, honestly, I think 260 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:08.960 it's could have been more likely than not that he 261 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.639 is going to start on pup with the second procedure, 262 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.639 would be my inkland. Uh, and he's probably not going 263 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.679 to be close to one hundred percent until towards the 264 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.519 end of the season. Yeah, and that's spulate now that now, 265 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:25.679 I mean, how much are you still going to get? 266 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.039 How much is his you know, seventy five eighty percent 267 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.240 something like that. I mean, there's a lot of aspects 268 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.759 that go into some of these guys when they're returning 269 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:34.679 like to place like there's a lot of metal things 270 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.159 of them trusting their knee, you know, especially when we're 271 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.000 talking about these receivers that are running these routes, that 272 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.279 are cutting, that are doing stuff. So I don't know, 273 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.080 I feel a lot more comfortable probably in my dynasty 274 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.440 outlook than necessarily be draft this year. If you can 275 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:52.960 get him, you know, now, if you can build around 276 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.960 it and make a team that, like invest Ball, that 277 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.039 you think is strong enough that in those money weeks, 278 00:13:58.039 --> 00:13:59.559 you know, if you can get through to that Week 279 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.639 sixty seventeen, then sure, you know, I mean, I definitely 280 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.039 think it's worth the risk somewhat, but you definitely have 281 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:10.480 to be very intentional with your builds, and I would 282 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:12.879 try to get as much discount as possible. 283 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:17.120 So you mentioned something that I think we should all understand, 284 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.120 and I wholeheartedly believe this. Regardless of when he comes back, 285 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.480 if it's week one, if it's week five, if it's 286 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.679 week seven, I don't think he's going to be one 287 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.919 hundred percent. You mentioned at the end of the season. 288 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:31.840 Maybe I think that's when he'll be closest to one 289 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.000 hundred percent, But I still don't think we're going to 290 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.320 see capital letters Malik neighbors until twenty twenty seven. So 291 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.279 understanding that, let's do a little would you rather right now? 292 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.919 And this probably won't matter a whole lot stuff because 293 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:48.279 you can easily get any of these guys instead of neighbors. 294 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.600 Tell me, would you rather have Molik neighbor? This is redraft, 295 00:14:52.600 --> 00:15:00.360 not dynasty elike. Neighbors are George Pickens Pickenslik neighbor or 296 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.840 Chris o'lave uh. 297 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.679 That's getting tough. I think I think I might have 298 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:10.279 to say. 299 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.799 A lave I. By the way, I agree with you 300 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:16.720 on both of these so far, Malik neighbors or Nico Collins, 301 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:21.039 Nico Malik neighbors or a j Brown. 302 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:24.840 Assuming he has traded to the patriots of. 303 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.960 Taking a j Uh And then the next one Malik 304 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.440 neighbors or Tete Roha McMillan. 305 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:33.200 Can be tet. 306 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:35.840 That's it's close. 307 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:36.720 For that's a little tougher. 308 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:40.879 Yeah, but God, and this is what I'm talking about, 309 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:42.919 because you won't even have to make this decision because 310 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.279 neighbors is going at the two three turn. Now we're 311 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.840 at the three four turn, so these guys are all 312 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.600 going around later. Milik neighbors are DeVonta Smith. 313 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.879 Hmmm. I mean, let's see if AJ gets traded. 314 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.039 Let's assume he's trade. Let's assume he straded. 315 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.720 I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I have been drafting 316 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.840 neighbors ahead, but you know, with this news and you know, 317 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.240 really diving in and thinking about it, I think I 318 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:10.399 might want to vanta. 319 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:13.279 Molik neighbors or Garrett Wilson. 320 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:16.879 I think that's where I'm gonna do neighbors, That's right. 321 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:20.759 I don't know, yeah, I mean I have me and 322 00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:22.759 I still have a little troumble with the Jets, and 323 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.000 they added so many weapons, so it's like, I'm not 324 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.519 quite sure overall how much they're going to be able 325 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:30.639 to just concentrate the volume there. 326 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.679 The Fantasy Football Garage chiming in on YouTube right now saying, 327 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.200 it's going to take a while for this neighbor's news 328 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.279 to be reflected in ADP, which which is correct. The 329 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.759 neighbors stuff came out. I feel like it was a 330 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.759 couple of days. This would have been no yesterday afternoon, 331 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:52.600 so it's barely been twenty four hours. And Fantasy Football 332 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.879 Garage agrees with you a lot on these would you 333 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.679 rathers that you have been doing? I think we're falling 334 00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.200 in on the same line of thinking too, neighbors versus 335 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.840 these guys. I drafted neighbors once so far this year, 336 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.160 and I think I'm good until the price falls stuff. 337 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.079 I don't think I need to be stretching and reaching 338 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.599 for to get him on my rosters this year. Scott White, 339 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:13.640 I always bring this up. I know it's fantasy baseball. 340 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:18.319 Scott White, who covers fantasy baseball for CBS Sports, always says, 341 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.119 and he's speaking in a baseball sense, but I think 342 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.799 it applies in football. You know your players are going 343 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.000 to get hurt over the season, Maybe don't draft the 344 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.680 guys that are already hurt coming into the year to 345 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.359 make it more of a quagmire for you to start 346 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:37.039 off your season, which I think is wise. Pittsburgh, Okay, 347 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:39.519 a couple of things to talk about here, will focus 348 00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:42.440 on Aaron Rodgers first. Now, there were reports last week's 349 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:44.680 stuff that Rogers is going to be in Pittsburgh. He 350 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:46.359 was going to meet with the brass. He's going to 351 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.599 be talking about the future and sort of like the 352 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.160 mutual expectations for each other. And Brooke Pryor, who covers 353 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.240 these Steelers for ESPN dot Com, said that the meeting 354 00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:58.880 did not appear to come to fruition. She was at 355 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:01.799 the facilities, she didn't see Rogers. She talked to other 356 00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:04.559 Steelers beat writers that were at the facilities. They said 357 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:08.319 they didn't see Rogers either, and apparently the meeting maybe 358 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.880 even never took place. May eighteenth is the next day. 359 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.920 Prior said that we should be watching for when the 360 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:19.920 Steelers begin OTAs Rogers did not join the Steelers until 361 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:25.640 June fifth last year, so maybe you know this is 362 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:27.519 going to be delayed another few weeks. I don't know. 363 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.160 But for those of us who cannot wait that long 364 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:33.279 that are drafting right now, Steph, how do we handle 365 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:39.279 players like DK Metcalf, Pat Fryarmouth, Michael Pittman Junior, Jeremy Bernard, 366 00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.680 Jalen Warren Rico doubtll, I mean, like any of these 367 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.160 Steelers guys. How do we handle them? Knowing that if 368 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.279 it's not Rogers, it might be Will Howard, it might 369 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.400 be Drew Allar. You know, like, I think this is 370 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:57.079 as uninspiring as the Steelers offense historically has been these 371 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.920 last couple of years. I feel like there is a sick, 372 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.440 significant difference between Rogers, who's at the tail end of 373 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:05.319 his career and then these younger guys who are very 374 00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:06.039 much unproven. 375 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:13.200 Yeah, I mean it's I've been drafting thus Bar under 376 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.319 the assumption that Rogers was going to eventually end up there. 377 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.119 I still want to believe that he's just going through 378 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:23.160 whatever theatrics he's doing to maybe, you know, make sure 379 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.279 that he is the center of attention when it happens 380 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:27.920 and keep the drama rolling. And this is just part 381 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:31.480 of his saga. But I mean to say that I'm 382 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:33.960 not slightly concerned would be a lie. So I mean, 383 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.279 I think in these type of situations, the best thing 384 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.920 is to take the cheaper options, you know, play it cheaper, 385 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.319 and then when we know the information, then you can 386 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:46.079 maybe mix in some of those other guys. But I 387 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:48.680 definitely am not going to want to pay at this 388 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:51.720 moment the premium price tag. So I mean, I do 389 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:56.799 like the running backs both quite a bit. You know, 390 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.480 I do think they can have a decent role figure. 391 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:02.759 If they're trailing, they might they might have to throw 392 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:04.519 to them a little bit. You know, we saw what 393 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:07.200 we go did with McCarthy you know, in Dallas here, 394 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.119 and then you know Warren also, so again, you know, 395 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.960 I don't take the cheaper option. Maybe it's Bernard. Do 396 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:16.960 you want to play it through Pittman? I think, is 397 00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:19.519 you know, gonna be like the possession guy. Obviously they 398 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.920 can rack up some numbers. Metcalf might be the one 399 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.799 I'm a little more worried about. If you know, Rogers, 400 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.440 he may not have that upside. So yeah, well was 401 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.960 that to see? It definitely puts a little damper on 402 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:35.559 the Steelers for me though. If he doesn't play, I 403 00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:38.319 mean a lot more questions. I mean, I'm sure we're 404 00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:40.319 gonna talk about in a minute. You know, Alara is 405 00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.480 pretty raw. So if he you know, ended up, I 406 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:47.559 don't know, uh, if he is NFL ready or not. 407 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.799 You know, this wasn't the best quarterback class. 408 00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:55.440 Yeah, that's putting it mildly. Yeah, what's your opinion? I'm 409 00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.000 going I'll give you the ADPs here. Metcalf is an 410 00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:00.759 early eighth round pick at wide receiver thirty six. This 411 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.799 is big gorilla ADP I'm doing for Reffin. Pittman is 412 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:06.359 a late ninth round pick at wide receiver forty four. 413 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.680 In your opinion, do you think that that is reflective 414 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:17.519 of a move up in ADP? If Rogers does sign 415 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:20.079 with the with the Steelers or do you think people 416 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.920 are drafting those two players in the eighth and ninth 417 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.279 round right now as if Rogers is coming back. I 418 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.160 guess the question here, Steph, is how much of them? 419 00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.759 How much movement will there be in Metcalf and Pittman's 420 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:36.839 ADP when we do get some sort of resolution on Rogers. 421 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.759 I think, no matter how much we think people are 422 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.599 already drafting with a certain assumption, they always double count things. 423 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.680 I don't know why, but we see it constantly. So 424 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:51.559 when we get the news, there probably will be some movement. 425 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:54.480 I'm not sure how much. I don't know how excited 426 00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:57.480 people still are for those Steelers guys. And I mean, 427 00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:59.400 you figure, if they're moving up, someone else has to 428 00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:02.839 move down. So I mean, maybe, like, I don't think 429 00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:06.440 it's a ton you know. I think that maybe like 430 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:09.599 Pittman could move closer to where DK's going, and then 431 00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:11.720 DK kind of move to the top of his tier. 432 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:13.599 But I don't think we're going to see like an 433 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:18.559 astronomical jump or anything, because I just don't you know, 434 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.160 DK's not going to be like he's not a possession guy. Really, 435 00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:26.240 He's still gonna be more that explosive. So I think 436 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.720 Pittman might get closer to DK would be the thing. 437 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:34.039 If we get Rogers to me, that would happen and 438 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.559 then But yeah, I just don't think that they're gonna 439 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.720 like significantly right. So that's another reason I don't think 440 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:46.960 like I'm dying to draft them right now. I'm okay 441 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.319 for like waiting this one out a little bit on 442 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:51.599 the information. I don't think they're the guys that are 443 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:53.640 necessarily going to bury you. I think they're okay picks 444 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.480 where they go. But I'm not like sitting there like, oh, 445 00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:00.000 I think that they're gonna be the guy you Absolutely, 446 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:02.279 I would be very surprised. 447 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:04.759 You know. And I'll bring this up to Metcalf had 448 00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:09.200 his second worst season for catches with only fifty nine. 449 00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:12.359 Last year. He had his worst career, our worst year 450 00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:15.279 receiving yardage wise with only eight hundred and fifty and 451 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:19.000 his second worst touchdown year with only six touchdowns. You 452 00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.559 mentioned it, Pittman, or you to mention it. Well, I 453 00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:24.400 think you intimated it. But Joe King is saying right 454 00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:26.799 now on YouTube, feels like Pittman's game is more suited 455 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:29.640 for Rogers than DK Metcalf's, of which I totally agree. 456 00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:32.240 You know, Metcalf's sort of like you know, all over 457 00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:34.880 the place when he runs his routes, when he makes 458 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.039 his plays, and quite frankly, his size and athleticism allows 459 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.480 him to do that. But for somebody who is not 460 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:45.000 blessed with the athleticism of that metcalf is, that's Michael Pittman. 461 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.200 And Rogers loves what we've learned about him over the 462 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.880 course of his career. He loves knowing what receiver is 463 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:54.400 going to be where and when, Like he knows that. 464 00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:56.839 That's why him and Devonte Adams were so good together 465 00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:59.839 because they knew exactly where the ball was going to 466 00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:03.440 be at any given time. They knew where, Rogers knew 467 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:05.519 where Adams would be on the field at any given time. 468 00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:08.079 And I think Pittman is more of a tactician when 469 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.079 it comes to that. So for me, I'll say this 470 00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:12.559 right now, I think I would rather have Michael Pittman 471 00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:14.119 as wide receiver forty four at the end of the 472 00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.119 ninth round than pay up for DK Metcalf in the 473 00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:19.400 early eighth which, by the way, and you mentioned this, 474 00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:22.119 what if Rogers doesn't come back you know, now you've 475 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.119 soaked an early eighth round pick into a guy who 476 00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:27.640 might be catching passes from a rookie quarterback who is 477 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:30.440 already coming off arguably his worst season as a pro, 478 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:32.880 including his rookie year. And I think that's something that 479 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:35.559 we need to understand and utilize caution when you are 480 00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:38.960 drafting DK Metcalf, Steph Miller, and I warned you May fourteenth, 481 00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:42.359 twenty twenty six. Never forget. Let's move on and talk 482 00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:47.480 about Drew Aller. This is interesting. So the aforementioned Brooke 483 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:52.920 Pryor said, Mike McCarthy is uninstalling everything Drew Aller learned 484 00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:56.720 while he was playing quarterback at Penn State. Prior wrote 485 00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:59.480 this quote, they are re uploading their own methods and 486 00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:04.079 fundamental and mechanics. And uh that that McCarthy and the 487 00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:07.839 quarterbacks coach for the Steelers were very intentional with Aller 488 00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.039 in rookie mini camp. They're focusing on his footwork. They're 489 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:14.319 focusing on basic throwing mechanics too, which is not something 490 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:16.680 you probably should have to teach an NFL player, But 491 00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:22.799 here we are. Now I'm gonna say this too. McCarthy 492 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.279 was hired as the head coach in Green Bay one 493 00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:31.039 because because he had good experience working with quarterbacks with 494 00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:34.160 the Saints and the Niners, and he was and he 495 00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.039 was hired to sort of like rain Brent farv In. 496 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.680 And then at the same time, you know, Aaron Rodgers 497 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.519 grew up to be the quarterback that he was a 498 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.799 good portion of that was Mike McCarthy's tutelage, right, So 499 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:53.000 now McCarthy gets a chance to teach Drew Aller the 500 00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:55.839 fundamental like and footwork is so important with quarterbacks, right, 501 00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:58.480 So that's what they're working on right now. And Aler, 502 00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:01.880 if we remember back like thirteen months ago, people were 503 00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.240 talking about him being the first overall pick of the draft. 504 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.680 He decides to come back for Penn State. The Nittany 505 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:10.480 Lions have an also awful season. Aler gets hurt, but 506 00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:15.079 you know, you look at the the the physical tools 507 00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:17.599 that he has and now he's gonna get proper coaching. 508 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:20.240 I don't know how you feel about this in Dynasty 509 00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:24.240 Superflex League stuff, but if I and I know how 510 00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:26.920 bad the quarterback class is this year, but I think 511 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.759 there might be something there with Aler. Now, probably not 512 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:32.519 given his draft capital, but if there's one other guy 513 00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:36.039 that's gonna hit at quarterback in this draft besides Fernando Mendoza. 514 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:39.079 Why not Aler? I don't think I think you mentioned 515 00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:41.039 this earlier. I don't think he's NFL ready to start 516 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:44.079 Week one. At the end of the season, he might 517 00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:45.799 be be able to make some pretty decent starts for 518 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.759 Pittsburgh if that's the way that they choose. Your thoughts 519 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:51.880 on Drew Aller the NFL quarterback. 520 00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:56.400 Now, I mean, like you said, you know, he was hurt, 521 00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:58.200 so you know the twenty twenty five was kind of 522 00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:00.599 a wash. But in twenty twenty four, I mean he 523 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:04.039 was pretty elite. I mean he had I think it 524 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:07.039 was thirty three one hundred and twenty seven pass yards 525 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.799 at about thirty touchdowns. So here's the thing his If you, 526 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:14.519 I am not a quarterback scout, I don't try to 527 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:18.000 pretend to be, but me either. If you watch any 528 00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.279 of it, I mean, I will admit, his footwork is atrocious. 529 00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:25.160 His mechanics are atrocious. Uh it's pretty it sticks out 530 00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:27.240 like a sore thumb. So I am very glad to 531 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:30.720 hear that they are addressing some of these fundamentals. I 532 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:34.039 do think that a lot of his stuff might be coachable, 533 00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.359 so I think that they might be able to fix 534 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:38.759 some of his issues. I do think he is a 535 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:42.519 big body guy. I think he is athletic, and there 536 00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:46.839 could be some upside there. I mean, he's got the 537 00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:50.960 arm strength, so he's got a lot of those things 538 00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:53.960 you can't teach. You know, you can't just make someone 539 00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:57.079 more athletic. You can't make someone you know, throw well 540 00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.319 or throw far. So if they can polish him, there 541 00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.640 is a world that maybe, like you say, he could, 542 00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:08.720 if given the opportunity, and shape him. Yeah, there's a 543 00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:11.359 chance in the role's there for the taking. I mean, 544 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:13.599 even if it's not this year in Dynasty, like you say, 545 00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:16.480 like Rogers is probably playing one more year at most, 546 00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:19.400 so maybe then Rogers could even mentor and help shape 547 00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.960 as well. And you know, Rogers is a pretty great quarterback, 548 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.319 regardless of you know, what we think of him personally 549 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.839 and other things. So you know, even at this stage, 550 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.160 he could be somebody that could definitely shape a quarterback 551 00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:36.200 into the future. So who knows. 552 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:39.119 Yeah, al are two hundred and thirty pounds six foot 553 00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:42.440 five really a cannon of an arm. So the tools 554 00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:45.519 are there, it's just all about harnessing them. And certainly 555 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:50.160 Dynasty Superflex owners should be taking note of that quarter 556 00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:52.359 about another quarterback, young quarterback that I want to talk 557 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:54.920 about here, and this will allude into how I'm gonna 558 00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:57.519 ask you how you're handling Falcons and Best Ball drafts. 559 00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:02.880 Michael Pennix Junior is participating in the offseason program for 560 00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:07.599 the Falcons. He tore his ACL in Week eleven last year. 561 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:12.359 And you know, when when you talk with Stefanski or 562 00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.480 the GM or any of these guys, they don't really 563 00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:17.920 have that. They're not pinning a timetable on him. They're 564 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:19.799 not saying like, well, we hope he's you know, we 565 00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:21.960 plan on him doing this at this point or whatever. 566 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:27.119 He is participating officially in phase two of the Falcons 567 00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:31.799 off season program. That is Mark Rimondi quoting a Falcons 568 00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:35.640 spokesperson for ESPN dot com. So he can participate in 569 00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:39.240 individual and group instruction and drills. But now No. Eleven 570 00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:43.119 on eleven's No. Seven on sevens twenty six years old, Steph. 571 00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:46.880 He has torn his ACL three times now over the 572 00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:49.359 course of his college and pro career. And they bring 573 00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:55.079 into a tongue of bai loa in Atlanta. The issue 574 00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:58.440 with the quarterback situation is if you want to get 575 00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:02.480 cheap bestball stacks, it's tough because you don't know exactly 576 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:05.880 who the quarterback is gonna be for the money weeks. 577 00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:07.799 Is it gonna be Penix? Is it gonna be a 578 00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:10.839 tongue of Ila? Is it gonna matter? Throw out best 579 00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:13.240 ball stuff for a second. Let's just talk manage leagues. 580 00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:15.480 What do we do with Drake London? What do you 581 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.960 do with Kyle Kyle Pitts, Zach Ryan Branch, I'm trying 582 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:20.759 to think who the other guys that they have all 583 00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:22.880 of me. The's a chaias is down there as well. 584 00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.160 Johan Dotson, like, what do we do with these guys 585 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.279 in drafts, especially London and Pits since they're the most expensive, 586 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.960 not knowing who the quarterback is gonna be, and not 587 00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:36.400 knowing at what point of the season, you know, like 588 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:39.279 they can flip flop back and forth, or injuries might happen. 589 00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:44.799 Pennix is coming off with significant injury. So your thoughts 590 00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.880 on how we handle London and Pits as well as 591 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.960 just drafting Falcon stacks in bestball tournaments to try to 592 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.319 make sure that we're not screwing up and we're giving 593 00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:59.839 ourselves a chance to win some big money. 594 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.720 As far as the skill guys go, I mean, I'm 595 00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:07.079 still drafting them because we've seen they performed pretty well 596 00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:12.279 when you know under Pennix, you know, he he, they 597 00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:15.279 had some nice sweeks. I mean, we saw, you know 598 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.359 what Pitts in London did, and I mean to as 599 00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.160 much problems as he has, like he's supported fantasy players 600 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:24.960 before as well. So I think that no matter which 601 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:28.480 one of them plays, there is a lot of really 602 00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:32.160 good skilled players there and it's a good offense, like 603 00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:34.519 they have a lot of talent there. So I'm still 604 00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:38.319 drafting those guys. It's not so much like this big 605 00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:41.279 question of somebody coming in that we've never seen play 606 00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:44.000 and don't know if they can support any kind of 607 00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:47.599 fantasy relevant players. Now, I will say I'd be a 608 00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:50.960 little bit more cautious drafting one of the quarterbacks at 609 00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:53.519 this time without that information because I don't know what 610 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.559 I mean, I don't see again them rising to some 611 00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.400 astronomical level that's going to make them a draftable, So 612 00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:04.200 you know, even if you're taking them, you don't have 613 00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:08.920 I would prefer not to rely on that stat As 614 00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:11.160 the quarterback I mean, I think it's fine if you 615 00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:13.039 still take two of them on the same team and 616 00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:16.799 team correlation, like especially in things like Bestball, there's still 617 00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:19.640 you know, I expect the Falcons are still going to 618 00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.319 put up some offensive points, so I don't have a 619 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:27.680 problem doing that guessing right now. I think that if 620 00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:32.960 Penix is healthy, they might give him a shot, but 621 00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:36.640 I don't know, like you say, he's had so many injuries. 622 00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.319 But again, acl for a quarterback is a totally different 623 00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:44.079 situation than other positions, you know, like running back and stuff, 624 00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:49.119 so wells have to see. I think they probably went 625 00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.680 Penix and two is going to be more like the 626 00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:55.480 in case of emergency type thing, but I'm not sure. 627 00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:58.279 We'll say. I think the best advice, and I am 628 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:00.440 kind of with you on this is I'm not shying 629 00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:03.920 away from London, I'm not shying away from Pits, but 630 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:06.400 those two quarterbacks, I'm not really looking to like get 631 00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:11.160 these weird backstacks you know in Best Ball drafts. If 632 00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:14.240 it happens, great, But I mean, at the same time, 633 00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:18.400 I think that you can spend those you know, your 634 00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:20.799 number two and your number three quarterbacks. I think you 635 00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.559 can get better players than that. Maybe you have to 636 00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:25.240 pay up a little bit more for him, but you 637 00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:27.799 don't want to take zeros, right, And there's a very 638 00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.519 real possibility that if you're drafting one of these guys 639 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:33.759 at this point, from what we know, they could very 640 00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:37.519 well turn into a zero. The other thing to keep 641 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:42.839 in mind here about this is the Falcons passing game 642 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:46.359 is pretty concentrated. I mean, it's three guys. It's Robinson, 643 00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:48.920 it's London, and it's Pitts. Yeah, you know, Branch and 644 00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:51.279 some of those other guys I mentioned they're there, but 645 00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:54.799 I can't imagine them commanding targets or earning targets. You know, 646 00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:57.519 Branch would probably have some because I think he's kind 647 00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:58.880 of a gadget guy and you got to scheme him 648 00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:01.440 up a little bit. But I think when when you're 649 00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:04.559 talking about having this sort of nebulous situation with the 650 00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:08.039 Falcons quarterbacks, it does make it easier to draft London 651 00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:10.880 and Pitts knowing that even if it's not a great situation, 652 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:14.079 the extra volume should help out and give you a 653 00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:16.639 little bit more of a comfort when when you're drafting 654 00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:22.119 those players. Another quarterback situation stuff, and we'll go to Arizona, 655 00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:26.320 other side of the country from Atlanta. Josh Weinfuss, who 656 00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:30.199 covers the Colts Cardinals Beg Your Pardon for ESPN, has 657 00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:33.800 reported that Jacoby Brissette was told by the Cardinals that 658 00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:37.039 he is their starter there. He is looking for a 659 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:41.000 new contract. He is not doing, you know, the team 660 00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:43.719 workouts that they have going on right now for Arizona. 661 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:47.119 He is gonna earn less than five million this year. 662 00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:48.920 And I always say, I'm gonna look this up stuff, 663 00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:51.800 and I always forget. I believe that is less than 664 00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:54.519 what Gardner Minshew is making for the Cardinals. Who is 665 00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:57.159 the backup there, so they probably should be paying him. 666 00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:00.239 I've been asking this ever since, you know, a all 667 00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:03.159 my guests, ever since the NFL Draft. It's fun to 668 00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:05.880 think about what Jacoby Brissett could do over the course 669 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:09.360 of a full season with McBride and Harrison and Wilson, 670 00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:14.559 you know. But at the same time, it was special 671 00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:18.360 last year, it was historical. With it was historic, i 672 00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:22.400 should say, with how much they got down early and 673 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.480 how much they had in the past. Like there is 674 00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:28.079 a regression coming, and the regression could also be coming 675 00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:32.239 at the quarterback position itself. Because the Cardinals invested a 676 00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:34.840 third round pick in the Carson Beck. You could be 677 00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.800 looking at McBride, Harrison, Wilson or whatever in September and 678 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.679 October and thinking, Wow, what great picks I made here. 679 00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.000 These guys are doing great. But if the Cardinals fall 680 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.320 out of the race and Beck starts making starts in 681 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:48.320 November and December when it really matters, I don't know 682 00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.920 if we're gonna like those Cardinals picks as much as 683 00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:54.039 we did back in June, July, and August. Right, I 684 00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:56.639 want to get your thoughts on that. Would you be 685 00:35:56.719 --> 00:36:00.000 shying away from Cardinals because of this Carson Beck ppop 686 00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:00.960 this year? 687 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:05.599 I have Cardinals are a team that I have been 688 00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:09.360 shying away from. I don't fully fade him, but they're 689 00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:12.639 definitely some like where I said, I'm drafting the Falcons 690 00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:16.480 and not it's worried. I'm much more concerned because even 691 00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:20.039 if Prissette, like you said, I think that I don't 692 00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:21.800 know if it was sustainable. I mean, there was a 693 00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:25.480 game script and he wasn't that guy in the past. 694 00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:27.239 I really think that it might have just been a 695 00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:32.480 flash and you know, kind of the perfect storm, you 696 00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:39.440 know situation. So McBride where he goes like that can 697 00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:43.320 kill your team, like those are if you're wrong about that, 698 00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:46.800 or even if he's just okay and then other people 699 00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:50.480 are better. I mean that that's just like it's over. 700 00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:53.480 That lineup is just pretty much dead. It's like those 701 00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:56.639 aren't mistakes you can really recover from. I mean, do 702 00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:59.039 I still want to believe in Mark, but it's scary. 703 00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:01.920 We haven't seen it. This are still not flashing now, 704 00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:05.719 you know, Michael Wilson. Maybe I do think Wilson might 705 00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:09.920 be better than what we thought originally, but I mean 706 00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:12.639 he's really expensive. If you look at the guys he's 707 00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:17.800 going around, like these are legitimate top receivers on their teams, 708 00:37:18.519 --> 00:37:22.079 and yeah, I just I mean, obviously I will say 709 00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:30.000 I'm still like going to be drafted like some like 710 00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:35.440 love and things. But yeah, some of the other especially 711 00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:39.320 the past catchers, I'm definitely lower on. I'm definitely a 712 00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:40.000 little concerned. 713 00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:45.280 Yeah, I mean, how can you. I don't went back you, No, no, no. 714 00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:48.400 The thing with Beck is like it's so weird because 715 00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:51.400 if Arizona is bad again this year, I mean, Beck 716 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:53.719 could be a backup again next year if they get 717 00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:55.360 one of these you know, top like a top five 718 00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:57.800 quarterback in the class, and there's a a ton of quarterbacks. 719 00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:01.639 How can you not be nervous about Marvin Harrison after 720 00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:04.159 what we've seen the first two years? How can you 721 00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.199 not be nervous quite frankly about Michael Wilson who blew 722 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:09.280 up last year. But it was at the very end 723 00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:12.360 of the season, and it correlated with this wild, you know, 724 00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:15.480 gun slinging approach that the Cardinals had to take because 725 00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:17.800 their defense was so bad. This is his fourth year 726 00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:20.039 in the league. We don't often see like fourth year breakouts, 727 00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.079 especially ones that come at the end of the season. 728 00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:24.239 And oh, by the way, he barely eclipsed a thousand yards, 729 00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:26.039 so I think there could be a regression coming there. 730 00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:28.400 And then you mentioned the elephant in the room. Trey 731 00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:32.760 McBride is the guy that's most expensive. And to your point, 732 00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:36.840 if that, if he doesn't pay off first round draft capital, man, 733 00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:39.519 are you behind the eight ball already? So, man, I've 734 00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:42.400 been saying this. I'm out on McBride in the first 735 00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:45.480 round this year, probably out on him in the second round. 736 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:48.199 I'll let somebody else take him. I'm getting the hev 737 00:38:48.360 --> 00:38:52.159 gbis from this Cardinals offense right now, and I'm with you. 738 00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:54.880 I'm not targeting them. Although I did just draft Jeremiah Love. 739 00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:57.960 I'm fine with that just because you know, they took 740 00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.599 him with a third overall pick. He's a blue ship talent. 741 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:02.400 They're gonna want to use him. He is a talented 742 00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:05.800 pass catcher, should fit into what the Cardinals are doing 743 00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:08.400 this year. And you know, quite frankly, even if Carson 744 00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:10.639 Beck is making starts at the end of the season, 745 00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:12.840 probably be pretty easy for him to dump off to 746 00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:15.559 Love and just let him, you know, do his work. Okay, 747 00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:20.079 we go to Tampa. Pro Football Talk had this story. 748 00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:23.639 Zach Robinson, who's the new offensive coordinator staff for the 749 00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.000 Buccaneers this year, said that, and meccaguk is going to 750 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:31.960 quote take huge, huge strides down the stretch. Last year, 751 00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:34.880 he did the opposite of whatever huge strides were. He 752 00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:38.719 shot out unbelievably out of the gates last year. There's 753 00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:40.920 a lot of people that thought they they had just 754 00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:45.039 had hit upon this great receiver in their rookie drafts. 755 00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:49.559 And then you know, once Mike Evans came back, Baker 756 00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:51.880 Mayfield was dealing with some injuries as well, which certainly 757 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:56.159 probably hampered at Buka's production a little bit. It's somewhere 758 00:39:56.159 --> 00:39:58.400 in the middle. Right, He's not the receiver he was 759 00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:00.599 to start off the season. He's certainly not the receiver 760 00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:03.199 that he was at the end of the season. Now 761 00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:05.559 he gets Zach Robinson in there. And what's interesting about 762 00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:08.360 Robinson's stuff. He was the OC for Atlanta. What did 763 00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:10.320 Atlanta do? They had a lot of targets going to 764 00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:12.639 Drake London. And I think if we look at Tampa 765 00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:16.800 this year, McMillan, Hirst, Godwin, ag Buca. To me, if 766 00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:19.480 they have a number one receiver, it's at Buca. And 767 00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.360 he should be able to not only take strides from 768 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.920 just the natural sophomore progression you get from NFL players, 769 00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:27.480 but he should be able to take strides because I 770 00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:28.920 think he's going to see the football a lot more 771 00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:29.360 this year. 772 00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:34.360 So I mean, there's a lot of interesting things to 773 00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:38.840 like unpack here. So the thing is like with Buka, 774 00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:41.679 now they're talking about he could play. He wanted to 775 00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:46.239 play the z ral, which to me is an amazing 776 00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:49.880 signal because that is what he should be playing. They 777 00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:53.159 started moving him to a lot of different roles last year. 778 00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:55.440 So we also on top of you know, there was 779 00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:58.639 the separation issues. Baker also threw a lot of balls 780 00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:02.599 that were not catchable the high un catchable target rate. 781 00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:05.559 He had an injury as well, uh a book a 782 00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:07.639 little bit, so he you know, there was a lot 783 00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:09.159 of things. He had a little bit of a hammy. 784 00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:14.840 And then now we got the other thing that kind 785 00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.559 of coupled with that is with them saying that they 786 00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:19.559 could use him in the zeviral where he could go 787 00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:21.239 maybe in and out a slot. They're going to move 788 00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:24.000 him around formation, They're going to use him where he 789 00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:29.239 really was great in college. And now they also on 790 00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:32.039 top of that, have drafted what they're calling a true 791 00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:37.199 X in Ted Hurst. He immediately tweeted following that up 792 00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:41.400 and that is really would be his perfect role. So 793 00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:44.280 it seems like they have the right idea for how 794 00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:48.400 to utilize these guys at their talent levels. Now, I 795 00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:52.079 will say Buka's pretty expensive in drafts, and before this 796 00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:55.280 news I was a little wary on him. I wouldn't 797 00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:57.519 say I was necessarily fading him, but there was a 798 00:41:57.519 --> 00:41:59.760 lot of guys I was willing to take over him 799 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:01.960 because there was still a lot of mouths defeat. It 800 00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:04.679 felt like a little bit there in Tampa Bay and 801 00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:06.880 not knowing exactly how it's going to work out, but 802 00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:11.079 hearing this is making me want to be a little 803 00:42:11.079 --> 00:42:14.239 more bullish again. I want to believe I did like 804 00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:16.119 Abuka a lot coming out. 805 00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:20.239 So absolutely I did too, for sure. And ag Buka 806 00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:23.760 right now is wide receiver eighteen that glood I mentioned 807 00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:26.559 when we were talking about neighbors before. McMillan, Smith, Wilson 808 00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:30.559 Higgins are right ahead of Igbuka, roughly about a half 809 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:32.519 round or so ahead of him, and then he is 810 00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:36.000 going about uh three or four picks ahead of Za Flowers, 811 00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:39.679 Lad mcconkeye, and then DJ Moore and Luther Bird. So 812 00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:43.440 that's kind of where wide receiver eighteen seems very fair there. 813 00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:45.199 I know some people say, well, he's not going to 814 00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:47.320 pay that off. I think you will, and I think 815 00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:50.280 you know, investing a mid fourth round pick, which is 816 00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:52.199 what it's going to cost you there, especially if you 817 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:54.840 already loaded up and got a couple of running backs 818 00:42:54.840 --> 00:42:56.840 on your team at Buka as your number two there 819 00:42:56.880 --> 00:43:01.559 makes a lot of sense. Speaking of number two players, 820 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:05.320 let's go to the number two tight end in Las Vegas. 821 00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:08.519 Sam Warren, who covers the Las Vegas Raiders. For the 822 00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:12.559 Athletic wrote that he thinks Michael Michael Mayer is going 823 00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:15.119 to be more of a pass catching threat now that 824 00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:18.719 they have Clint Kubiak as their head coach. The Raiders 825 00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:22.000 don't have anybody on their roster who has ever hit 826 00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:26.000 seven hundred plus receiving yards in any NFL season. John 827 00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:28.840 spy Tech, who is the new GM who? Stephan I 828 00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.119 brag about this all the time. I played in a 829 00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:35.519 state high school football playoff game against John spy Tech. 830 00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:39.400 His team beat US forty eight to three. But him 831 00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:42.159 and Clint Kubiak have both said that they want to 832 00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:46.679 play bigger people out there, you know, which would probably 833 00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:50.760 mean more dual tight end sets. Right, Brock Bauers is 834 00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:52.639 obviously going to behead of him. Black Bowers is going 835 00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:54.400 to eat this year. Bowers is going to have an 836 00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:59.679 amazing season. But I have to wonder, given the lack 837 00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:03.360 of receiving options on this team, are we sleeping on 838 00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:06.079 Michael mayor a little bit, especially in tight end premium 839 00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:10.000 formats like the FFPC. Steph, right now, if you want 840 00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:12.679 to get Michael Mayer in your team, he's tight end 841 00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:16.239 forty two in the nineteenth round. I mean, I'd be 842 00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:19.239 hitting that like especially as my number three tight end 843 00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:21.519 at that point. I think he can function maybe even 844 00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:23.199 as a number two tight end, especially if you have 845 00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:25.800 you know, one of these elite guys like Loveland or 846 00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:28.760 Bauers or what have you. Especially maybe if you have Bowers, 847 00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:32.159 where Mayor can just step in. He's not that far 848 00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:34.840 removed for being a second round pick in the NFL. 849 00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:37.000 I want to get your thoughts on Mayor. Is the 850 00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:40.159 nineteenth round just right or is that too low for him? 851 00:44:41.320 --> 00:44:43.239 I mean, I think get tight end premium. It makes 852 00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:45.760 a lot of sense to take that risk. You know, 853 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:50.760 I had not really been thinking about him as much, 854 00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:52.400 but you know, with this news and like you say, 855 00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:55.360 he was a second round pick. He was a decent 856 00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:57.800 pass catcher. You know, he's a pretty good blocker too. 857 00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:02.280 They did not do anything in the draft, which surprised me. 858 00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:07.079 I really thought that they would draft one of you know, 859 00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:12.320 Mendoza's teammates to go along with him there or maybe 860 00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:16.079 give him some weapons. So I would think that, yeah, 861 00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:19.000 seeing those two tight end sets makes a lot of sense. 862 00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:22.119 We know they're gonna be probably running the ball a 863 00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:25.760 lot too, so you know, out there for blocking all 864 00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:28.119 that all that good stuff. So I mean at that price, 865 00:45:28.239 --> 00:45:31.039 especially in these tight end premium formats that f FPC is. 866 00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:34.559 I definitely think that, like you say, it makes sense 867 00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:39.119 to mix in to some of these builds. I don't 868 00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:40.880 think you have to take him more than that. So 869 00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:44.360 I mean, I'm not going to go ahead and reach 870 00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:46.559 on him, but I mean it drives up pretty good. 871 00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:49.559 So I mean he definitely is somebody. I mean, if 872 00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:52.760 we're taking you know, Pittsburgh's second tight end, and we're 873 00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:54.320 taking all these other guys, it's like why not. 874 00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:57.960 I mean, I just look at it. But so if 875 00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:00.280 I I'll bring up the ADP right now of the 876 00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:03.320 other tight ends going, I mean, you're talking about Mike Gesicki, 877 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:10.599 Michael Drigg, Eli Rarenan Kolbe, Parkinson, Mason Taylor, Evan Ingram. 878 00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:12.960 I mean all these guys are like eighteenth, you know 879 00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:17.159 the other rookies, Oscar Dell and jo Lee, Terrence Ferguson, 880 00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:18.639 you know all these other rams tight ends. 881 00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:19.840 Yeah. 882 00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:21.840 I mean, I'm not gonna say. I always say Joe 883 00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:24.519 Del's and there a long time FFPC player. He always 884 00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:26.440 says there's no such thing as a bad pick. After 885 00:46:26.519 --> 00:46:29.760 the tenth round, and he's probably right. So if you want, 886 00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:31.320 if you want to fight for any of these guys, 887 00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:33.320 then go ahead. And I'm not speaking to you stuff. 888 00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:36.920 I'm talking about all the viewers or whatever. But if 889 00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:38.440 you want to take a shot on any of these guys, 890 00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:40.239 I'm not gonna call you out on that. That's fine. 891 00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:42.480 I'm just saying, like Mayor should probably be a little 892 00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:45.880 bit higher than where he's going. I screwed up the rundown. 893 00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:48.159 I meant to do back to back Tampa stuff. So 894 00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:51.719 let's go back to Tampa and talk about the backfield here, Steph. 895 00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:58.639 The quote we got from Zach Robinson was that Kenneth 896 00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:03.239 Gainwell and Bucky Irvingham have similar skill sets, the quote, 897 00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:06.039 can they can kind of match each other in certain 898 00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:08.039 ways with what they can do in the past game. 899 00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:11.880 And then he talked about Gamewell's you know, professionalism and 900 00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.920 veteran leadership, you know, et cetera, et cetera. Uh and 901 00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:18.480 and this is a guy who, by the way, last year, 902 00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:22.239 three running backs caught more passing than Kenneth Gainwell, McCaffrey Gibbs, 903 00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:25.119 and John Robinson. That's it. And then game Well was 904 00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:28.679 fourth on that list. Irving was actually a pretty good 905 00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:32.119 pass catcher too for Tampa. And and you know, you 906 00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:38.199 hate to see a team add a player that excels 907 00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:42.440 in something you thought your existing guy already excelled in, 908 00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:45.239 and that's pass catching, because now he's probably gonna cannibalize 909 00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:48.880 Irving a little bit. We have talked about how Irving 910 00:47:49.079 --> 00:47:52.280 is not yet cleared from shoulder injury. We've talked about 911 00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:54.480 how there's maybe some other stuff going on with Bucky 912 00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:57.360 Irving too that that would make him not the wisest 913 00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:01.039 fantasy investment right now. But I will say that when 914 00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:04.039 it comes down to it, here are the ADPs on 915 00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:08.559 both of those players right now, Kenneth Gainwell and Bucky 916 00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:12.679 Irving Irving, and it's getting closer stuff. Irving running back 917 00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:16.320 nineteen at the four h six, Kenneth Gainwell running back 918 00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:18.920 thirty five at the eight oh seven. So about four 919 00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:22.639 rounds separate these two players in a vacuum. Would you 920 00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.880 rather have invested invested the mid fourth round pick into 921 00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:28.559 Irving or would you rather wait and take the mid 922 00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:30.960 eighth round pick and get gain Well on your squad. 923 00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:35.000 I mean, at this point, game was looking pretty nice 924 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:38.440 I'm not gonna lie. Before he was signed, Like when 925 00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:43.239 he was the free agent, I was. I was drafting 926 00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:44.880 a lot of him because, like you say, he was 927 00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:47.840 he was really good last year. Like I was, you know, 928 00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:50.880 I laughed, picked him up on waivers. You know, had 929 00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:54.280 to you know, talk a lot of my fellow teammates 930 00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:56.960 into not dropping him right away. You know, Thank goodness 931 00:48:57.079 --> 00:48:59.519 they did hold on to him and see it through 932 00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:03.400 because you know, he exceeded a lot of expectations and 933 00:49:03.519 --> 00:49:05.159 like you say, he kind of does things a lot 934 00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:08.199 of coaches like like he's a hard worker. You know, 935 00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:12.239 he doesn't miss his assignment. See, you know, just kind 936 00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:14.480 of can do all the dirty, down and dirty stuff. 937 00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:17.360 And I mean, yeah, like you I was kind of 938 00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:19.800 like ooh when they drafted him, Like I was like, okay, 939 00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:22.400 that is a little concerning for Bucky. Like that one 940 00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:24.440 made me, you know, most of the guys, I was like, oh, 941 00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:26.519 who cares, you know, it's not a big deal. Just 942 00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:29.079 be a complimentary type le I was like, well, I 943 00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:31.880 don't know game. Well, I had some skills and now 944 00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:34.840 we're hearing yeah, with all the complications and we saw 945 00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:36.360 what hadn't kind of at the end of the season 946 00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:38.960 and seems like there might be again. I was talking 947 00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:41.079 about some mental things going on, you know sometimes with 948 00:49:41.159 --> 00:49:45.360 these guys get in their head. I don't know, you 949 00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:47.039 need a lot for a guy to pay off a 950 00:49:47.039 --> 00:49:49.400 fourth round price tech. I mean, you're asking for a 951 00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:51.840 lot and if it is like a one A, one 952 00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:55.280 B situation there and of course we still got Sean 953 00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:57.920 Tucker possibly you know, taking some rushing work as well 954 00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:01.159 back there, who knows. I'm rather again just go with 955 00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:03.079 the cheaper guy that we already know is talented and 956 00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:06.199 is getting talked up. And that's a beautiful spot to 957 00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:08.800 be able to take some of these guys if you, 958 00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:12.719 you know, to build onto like a zero ish RB 959 00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:15.119 type squad things, you know, it gives you, I think, 960 00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:19.280 a really nice bloard with that pass catching Irving mentionedside. 961 00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:25.880 Irving mentioned last year's Steph about how the mental hurdles 962 00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:28.400 he had to overcome when he's trying to overcome this injury, 963 00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:31.599 which is not easy to do. And now here he 964 00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:36.599 is again in May, still not cleared for contact from 965 00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:38.719 this injury that clearly has taken a toll on them 966 00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:41.880 both mentally and physically. Stein your gallos already chimed in 967 00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:45.599 retirement's going to eliminate the competition. I mean, I'm not 968 00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:48.519 saying that that we're going to see a Bucky Irving retirement, 969 00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:52.519 but at this point whatever, I mean, I don't know 970 00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:55.400 what's going through anybody's head, any of these players heads. 971 00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:59.599 Everybody deals with it with it differently. And you know, 972 00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:03.280 retire aside you mentioned it mid fourth round is a 973 00:51:03.320 --> 00:51:05.880 significant pick for your for your fantasy team, and you 974 00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:08.280 don't want a whiff on it. And there there is 975 00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:12.719 some whiff possibility with Irving here with Gainwell, you know, 976 00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:15.679 regardless of what happens to Irving this year, he's gonna 977 00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:17.840 have a role on this team. Uh, He's gonna have 978 00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:20.320 a role that that is going to maybe not give 979 00:51:20.360 --> 00:51:22.920 you the biggest spike week potential, but certainly give you 980 00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:25.519 a high floor each and every week with Gainwell, with 981 00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:27.400 maybe some spike week potential on that. I think I 982 00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:29.760 said that last night too. I'm repeating myself, which means 983 00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:33.760 we need to move on. David and Djoku no longer unemployed, Steph. 984 00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:37.960 He signs a deal with the Los Angeles Chargers. It's 985 00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:41.559 one year. I don't I think it's worth up to 986 00:51:41.639 --> 00:51:43.480 eight million, So there's some funny money on that. I 987 00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:47.719 don't think there's much guaranteed. Perhaps the biggest story in 988 00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:50.599 this Njoku signing is what it does for one of 989 00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:56.800 Rende Gadsden, a player that you know, quite frankly, it's 990 00:51:56.880 --> 00:52:00.719 been one one battle after another for him this offseason, 991 00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:04.159 dealing with you know, the rise of Trey Harris. They 992 00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:08.519 draft Brennan Thompson and the offensive linemen are coming back, 993 00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:11.800 which is probably good, right because that means Gadsden staying 994 00:52:11.800 --> 00:52:14.840 in block. He can be out there running routes. But 995 00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:17.400 you still and Quentin Johnston, I know Mike McDaniel was 996 00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:20.559 talking him up as well. And Djoku I don't think 997 00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:22.119 as a player I want to be in business with 998 00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:25.639 for fantasy purposes. The biggest story here is his impact 999 00:52:25.719 --> 00:52:29.000 on Gadsden. Does this effectively Newt Gadsden for you? Is 1000 00:52:29.039 --> 00:52:30.800 this a player that you are are out on this 1001 00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:33.320 year or do you still hold out hope that we're 1002 00:52:33.320 --> 00:52:35.400 going to see something from Ronde Gadsden. 1003 00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:39.360 The second I wasn't drafting a ton of Gaston just 1004 00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:42.360 because his price was kind of expensive. In a lot 1005 00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:45.679 of times it was just structurally not really always working 1006 00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:48.079 for me. But let me tell you, I'm excited to 1007 00:52:48.119 --> 00:52:50.920 see the dep now if there is one, because I 1008 00:52:51.079 --> 00:52:54.239 will take the discount because I don't think, I mean, 1009 00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:56.159 this is not a lot of money for a tight 1010 00:52:56.280 --> 00:52:59.280 end at all. And I mean the Joku had a 1011 00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:00.840 lot of injuries, and I do think he was a 1012 00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:05.440 talented guy. But it seems like if he was able 1013 00:53:05.519 --> 00:53:08.719 to have show something, wouldn't someone else have offered him 1014 00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:13.079 a better deal, Like like, there's a lot there's a 1015 00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:15.519 few places that need tight end, and if they're not 1016 00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:18.880 willing to beat out this type of price for his services, 1017 00:53:18.920 --> 00:53:23.599 that makes me think he might be closer to you know, 1018 00:53:23.880 --> 00:53:26.880 to washed and it might be just a whole big 1019 00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:31.400 kind of nothing burger, honestly. And I think if I 1020 00:53:31.440 --> 00:53:36.599 get a discount on a rookie, you know, in an exciting, 1021 00:53:36.719 --> 00:53:39.119 you know, offensive environment, I'm excited for the Charger. Like 1022 00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:40.480 you say, you know they're going to be getting a 1023 00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:44.639 lot of players back. I think, you know, this is 1024 00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:46.239 going to be an exciting offense. It's going to be 1025 00:53:46.280 --> 00:53:49.880 a fast offense. I mean literally and figuratively, you know. 1026 00:53:50.039 --> 00:53:53.119 So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and buy the dip 1027 00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:53.360 on that. 1028 00:53:54.199 --> 00:53:57.440 Danston is still tight end nine right now, so he 1029 00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:00.360 is Oops, I got to sort this out again. So 1030 00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:03.159 right now he is tight end nine in the FFPC 1031 00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:08.519 Big Gorilla over the last week, Steph, I'm looking at him. Shoot, 1032 00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:12.599 I screwed it up. I'm looking at Gadsden being drafted around. 1033 00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:15.679 If I can finally pull this up. So he is 1034 00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:19.760 going behind Pitt's Craft and Laporta. He is going ahead 1035 00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:23.280 of George Kittle, Isaiah Likely, and Travis Kelcey. It's a 1036 00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:28.000 mid seventh round on average. However, since this in Djoku signing, 1037 00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:29.760 I think we've seen him fall a little bit. In fact, 1038 00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:32.199 he's fallen all the way to the mid ninth in 1039 00:54:32.320 --> 00:54:34.719 one FF see Big Gorilla draft, so we could see 1040 00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:36.960 more of a discount coming. And I think that's what 1041 00:54:37.079 --> 00:54:40.039 we need to look at, you know, is has it 1042 00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:42.559 bottomed out yet? Are we getting are we getting rock 1043 00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:45.239 bottom priced on Gadsta because and then at that point 1044 00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:47.639 where you don't even have to draft him as a 1045 00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:49.840 starting tight end, then I think that there's something there. 1046 00:54:50.760 --> 00:54:53.440 Chargers are gonna be fun to watch, you know. That 1047 00:54:53.760 --> 00:54:57.960 offensive line is healed. They they they are loaded for bear. 1048 00:54:58.480 --> 00:55:02.559 And we look at a player like in Djoku, where 1049 00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:06.159 this signing doesn't necessarily affect in Djoku all that much. 1050 00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:09.519 But this is another weapon for Herbert. This is another 1051 00:55:09.639 --> 00:55:12.320 guy who can block, who can catch, who's a former 1052 00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:15.760 pro bowler at the position he comes in, and maybe 1053 00:55:15.840 --> 00:55:18.000 Herbert is the guy that we should be talking about here. 1054 00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:21.719 Mike McDaniel said he wants to refine the footwork of 1055 00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:24.960 Justin Herbert, work on his timing, work on his anticipation, 1056 00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:26.599 which I don't know how much you can coach that. 1057 00:55:26.760 --> 00:55:30.199 I always thought anticipation. Throwing with an anticipation is sort 1058 00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:31.920 of like an either you got it or you don't. 1059 00:55:31.960 --> 00:55:34.400 But maybe you can coach that. I don't know. So 1060 00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:37.119 he was talking to Chris rim who covers the Chargers 1061 00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:41.840 for ESPN, about the strengths and weaknesses of Justin Herbert, 1062 00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:46.320 and it seems like he's making it his personal mission 1063 00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:50.159 to get everything he can out of Herbert, and the 1064 00:55:50.320 --> 00:55:54.880 Chargers are obliging by giving Herbert everything he needs. From 1065 00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:58.199 an offensive standpoint, your all pro tackles are back. You're 1066 00:55:58.199 --> 00:56:00.199 gonna have a mari and Hampton god willing for a 1067 00:56:00.239 --> 00:56:02.840 full season. You know you have Trey Harris. There's a 1068 00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:04.960 lot of people projecting a big season from Trey Harris, 1069 00:56:05.039 --> 00:56:08.880 people smarter than me, and then obviously Johnston McCaffrey. The 1070 00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:11.440 list goes on. You know, we mentioned the tight ends too. 1071 00:56:11.960 --> 00:56:14.079 Herbert maybe is the guy that we should be excited 1072 00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:17.639 about here, Steph. We look at the FFPC big gorilla 1073 00:56:18.519 --> 00:56:21.039 info on him. We can see he is going at 1074 00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:24.960 quarterback nine at the ten oh one. Certainly the ceiling 1075 00:56:25.079 --> 00:56:27.480 is higher than that. It seems like a fair price 1076 00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:29.960 for Herbert. But I don't know, man, I wouldn't be 1077 00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:33.239 a verse about taking him over Jackson Dart. I would 1078 00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:35.400 consider him over Caleb Williams. I think you can even 1079 00:56:35.440 --> 00:56:37.360 make a case for him over Jalen Hurts, although I 1080 00:56:37.360 --> 00:56:39.679 don't know if I go that far. I certainly understand 1081 00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:42.239 the argument your thoughts on the step that Herbert is 1082 00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:45.559 going to take forward this year under the tutelage of 1083 00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:46.320 Mike McDaniel. 1084 00:56:47.199 --> 00:56:49.760 Yeah, I'm with you. I do think he is a 1085 00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:54.760 little underpriced, and I mean I've been saying it and 1086 00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:58.079 then I haven't, unfortunately been following my own advice to 1087 00:56:58.199 --> 00:57:01.199 the level I should be. Especially I do like your 1088 00:57:01.280 --> 00:57:03.480 point about Dart. I think, especially now with the news 1089 00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:08.719 on neighbors. It's hard to see that because his price 1090 00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:12.119 was already a little bit hope hope him for me, 1091 00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:15.199 like and now I would definitely think that, Yeah, Herbert, 1092 00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:17.239 I mean it's nice that you don't have to always 1093 00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:20.719 do that because he is so cheap. That's but I 1094 00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:23.320 definitely think he somebody you should be prioritizing to take. 1095 00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:26.079 I just think that offense is going to be explosive 1096 00:57:26.119 --> 00:57:28.400 and put up a lot of points. Hopefully they're going 1097 00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:30.639 to get him also with the footwork, you know, they're 1098 00:57:30.639 --> 00:57:33.840 going to get him rushing a little bit, doing a 1099 00:57:33.880 --> 00:57:36.159 lot of things. So like he's a big boy, he 1100 00:57:36.239 --> 00:57:39.519 could take some hits, like and now he'll have those 1101 00:57:39.599 --> 00:57:42.239 protection too. You know. He's tough. Yeah, he's very tough. 1102 00:57:42.760 --> 00:57:45.519 So I'm excited to see I think he you know, 1103 00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:47.599 we were excited about him at one time and then 1104 00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:52.280 you know, one down season, you know, people forget, and 1105 00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:56.159 I think we might see him finish, Like he could 1106 00:57:56.199 --> 00:57:58.039 easily finish as a top five quarterback. 1107 00:57:59.360 --> 00:58:02.039 The other thing that's nice about Herbert and bestball leagues too. 1108 00:58:03.519 --> 00:58:06.639 You can get David and Joku, you can get Quinton Johnston, 1109 00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:10.079 you can get Trey Harris, all going after her. So 1110 00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:12.480 you add one of those guys onto your best ball team, 1111 00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:14.599 and all of a sudden, that's looking not too shabby 1112 00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:17.239 having Herbert dining. Or maybe you already had mcconkee, maybe 1113 00:58:17.280 --> 00:58:20.199 already had Gadsden, and by the way, Gadsden, but you know, 1114 00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:23.119 he's another player that could dip below Herbert to an 1115 00:58:23.159 --> 00:58:25.760 ADPs might be able to stack those guys as well. 1116 00:58:26.079 --> 00:58:31.760 Exciting times to be drafting Los Angeles Chargers. Exciting times 1117 00:58:31.800 --> 00:58:34.239 for the Tennessee Titans. They didn't get their man, Jeremiah 1118 00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:37.079 Love at four, but they did get their wide receiver 1119 00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:40.079 in Carnell Tate. There he agrees to a four year, 1120 00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:44.559 fifty one million dollar contract thirty three million in total, 1121 00:58:44.639 --> 00:58:48.400 fully guaranteed. He's expected to be the number one receiver 1122 00:58:48.599 --> 00:58:52.760 this year. Last year at Ohio State forty four catches, 1123 00:58:53.199 --> 00:58:55.880 just under eight hundred yards and eight touchdowns three point 1124 00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:58.239 five two yards per run, which you like to see. 1125 00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:01.480 I have drafted him probably in more spots than I 1126 00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:06.840 expected so far this season. Stuff. I do think Wandale 1127 00:59:06.960 --> 00:59:10.480 Robinson probably limits his ceiling a little bit. I hope 1128 00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:13.159 that he is more of a true number one rather 1129 00:59:13.239 --> 00:59:16.880 than a guy that you know, is sort of like, 1130 00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:20.119 you know, just not being a sacrificial X or anything 1131 00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:23.360 like that. But I hope that Carnel Tate ends the 1132 00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:26.880 season as the de facto number one rather than Wandale Robinson, 1133 00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:29.480 you know, getting one hundred catches for sixty yards again 1134 00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:33.760 where it's it's really impacting of Tate's performance. Your thoughts 1135 00:59:33.840 --> 00:59:35.679 on Carnel Tate. I love to know what you think 1136 00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:38.119 about him as a prospect and what you think about 1137 00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:39.840 him now that we know he's going to be in 1138 00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:42.639 Tennessee this year. Right now the adp on him. He 1139 00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:45.920 is going as a fringe top thirty wide receiver and 1140 00:59:46.039 --> 00:59:48.199 you can get him with a mid sixth round pick 1141 00:59:48.280 --> 00:59:49.719 in the FFPC. Big Gorilla. 1142 00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:53.679 I mean, I think a lot of it is just 1143 00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:57.360 what you think of, you know, their offense in general. 1144 00:59:57.440 --> 00:59:59.440 Like I do like tit a lot. Like I was 1145 00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:02.559 excited to about Tate coming out. It was kind of 1146 01:00:02.599 --> 01:00:05.639 between him and Tyson for me. You know, when we're 1147 01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:09.400 talking about who the most talented guy was, Tate had. 1148 01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:12.320 You know, he could separate really easy. I feel like 1149 01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:15.559 he could fit into a lot of offensive schemes. The 1150 01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:18.920 biggest thing is what do we think of camboard. How 1151 01:00:19.159 --> 01:00:21.599 is that going to be, like, is he going to 1152 01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:26.000 take a step ford. I'm hoping that getting him some 1153 01:00:26.119 --> 01:00:28.920 of these offensive weapons, you know, we will see more. 1154 01:00:29.039 --> 01:00:32.719 I do think they were hopefully was something there so, 1155 01:00:34.639 --> 01:00:36.880 you know, scheming everything. I think they do have talent. 1156 01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:38.440 I think we could see I think that, you know, 1157 01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:42.280 the Titans could be a little bit sneaky again with you. 1158 01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:44.800 I do hope that they don't just dump it off constantly, 1159 01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:47.920 you know, and it's a PPR scamming you know, to 1160 01:00:48.039 --> 01:00:51.679 Wandale constantly. But I do think that Tate offers a 1161 01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:53.960 lot of that same stuff and a lot more upside too, 1162 01:00:54.000 --> 01:00:57.360 because I mean we've seen him be able to track 1163 01:00:57.400 --> 01:00:59.880 the ball, get deep and do things as well. So 1164 01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:03.559 I don't think Wandale has that as much in his 1165 01:01:03.679 --> 01:01:06.800 skill set. So hopefully, you know, Tate's got that upside 1166 01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:10.480 and can keep him at bay. And they have also 1167 01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:12.440 a couple of good still running backs you know that 1168 01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:15.719 didn't take love, So I think the offense could hum 1169 01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:21.719 together and it's pretty cheap for the possibility. Yeah, it's 1170 01:01:21.760 --> 01:01:23.320 one that could be kind of sneaky fun. 1171 01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:26.599 I think the the other thing too, and you think 1172 01:01:26.599 --> 01:01:29.239 about how cam Ward ended last season where he was 1173 01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:32.719 throwing two touchdowns like every single game, and that's a 1174 01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:36.599 and that's without Carnell Tate. And I feel like this 1175 01:01:36.719 --> 01:01:39.880 offense has an opportunity to grow together now that they 1176 01:01:39.960 --> 01:01:42.119 have Tate, now that they have Robinson, you're still bringing 1177 01:01:42.159 --> 01:01:45.199 Iam Manner and DK back. You have gunner Helm taking 1178 01:01:45.239 --> 01:01:49.119 stuff forward. The biggest thing you really lost was China 1179 01:01:49.199 --> 01:01:51.159 Kokwo and you have gunner Helm there too. And I 1180 01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:53.639 think a capable running back Tony Poler to help out 1181 01:01:54.199 --> 01:01:56.800 cam Ward as well. Last thing I want to bring 1182 01:01:56.920 --> 01:02:00.639 up here in this segment before we start talking about 1183 01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:04.039 the schedule release, Breese Hall inked a three year, forty 1184 01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:07.360 five million dollar contract extension through twenty twenty eight with 1185 01:02:07.519 --> 01:02:10.760 the New York Jets. I think this is more like 1186 01:02:10.920 --> 01:02:13.480 a two year deal, or maybe I'm thinking an eight 1187 01:02:13.559 --> 01:02:15.599 chance deal, but I think there's very little, if no 1188 01:02:15.760 --> 01:02:19.400 guaranteed money in the last year of Breess Hall's contract. 1189 01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:23.320 He's going to be a New York Jets Steph. The 1190 01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:27.159 offense is much improved from where it was last year, 1191 01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:30.760 where it was absolutely abysmal, and abysmo might even be 1192 01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:34.039 an understatement for how bad it was, But you look 1193 01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:37.079 at this this team this year, Gino Smith, I know 1194 01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:40.079 Frank Reich's very excited about him. I remained skeptical, but 1195 01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:42.920 he's probably an improvement over what they had in twenty 1196 01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:46.000 twenty five. You think about what this team could be 1197 01:02:46.119 --> 01:02:50.239 like in twenty twenty seven with a quote unquote real quarterback, 1198 01:02:50.360 --> 01:02:53.320 a real young quarterback at least behind the helm. What 1199 01:02:53.440 --> 01:02:56.920 do you imagine for Breess Hall for fantasy going forward? 1200 01:02:56.920 --> 01:03:00.840 He ended last season as the running back fifteen in 1201 01:03:01.039 --> 01:03:04.239 FFPC scoring. He's going off the board right now as 1202 01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:09.000 running back fifteen at the three oh four. What are 1203 01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:10.679 your shares like on haw? Is this a player that 1204 01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:12.559 you're trying to get on your rosters this year? 1205 01:03:14.079 --> 01:03:17.079 I do like Bristol. I mean I think the Jets again, 1206 01:03:17.119 --> 01:03:19.519 they've done a lot to improve their offense, so they 1207 01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:24.039 might be better than what we think. Like you said, 1208 01:03:24.159 --> 01:03:26.960 it was the Yeah, the first two years he was 1209 01:03:27.039 --> 01:03:30.960 given twenty nine mill guaranteed, I believe. So, yeah, it 1210 01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:32.920 is kind of front loaded there, but I mean they 1211 01:03:33.239 --> 01:03:35.760 hadn't chance to trade him at the trade deadline even 1212 01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:37.679 last year they didn't do it, so they want him 1213 01:03:37.719 --> 01:03:39.960 to be their guy. They don't have much behind him. 1214 01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:42.559 They got Braylen Allen, who's coming off an injury and 1215 01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:45.760 didn't do much his rookie year at all, and then 1216 01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:48.519 they got Isaiah Davis, so it's like, obviously they want 1217 01:03:48.639 --> 01:03:50.880 him again to be the focal point. We know that 1218 01:03:50.960 --> 01:03:53.480 Brice has that explosion, We know that he is a 1219 01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:57.800 good pass catcher. They have now improved some of their weapons. 1220 01:03:57.840 --> 01:04:00.360 You know, they got Garrett Wilson, they drafted Omar Cooper, 1221 01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:03.880 they got Kendricksdeck. Who knows what they're gonna do with 1222 01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:06.000 Mason Taylor, but you know, they've got a lot of 1223 01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:09.719 stuff there. So I think that that should open up 1224 01:04:09.760 --> 01:04:12.320 some lanes for him. You know, like they definitely won't 1225 01:04:12.360 --> 01:04:16.800 be able to just focus on Breese and I don't 1226 01:04:16.840 --> 01:04:20.440 know about Gino. We'll see. I was a you know, 1227 01:04:21.079 --> 01:04:23.639 a little disappointed with most of my brock Bower shares 1228 01:04:23.719 --> 01:04:27.360 last year and things like that, but I think that 1229 01:04:27.559 --> 01:04:30.679 dumping it off to Brees should not be that difficult. 1230 01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:33.880 So hopefully, you know, we can see a good season 1231 01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:37.599 and I am taking him. I've been a presolid believer 1232 01:04:37.760 --> 01:04:41.679 for a long time, so I'm willing to go back 1233 01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:45.800 to go back there because I think that he does 1234 01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:48.199 have that type of upside that I mean, we've seen it, 1235 01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:52.400 like he can take he can he can do it 1236 01:04:52.880 --> 01:04:56.000 like it with the opportunity. I think, you know, he's 1237 01:04:56.039 --> 01:04:59.559 somebody that can definitely uh hurt you if you're fading 1238 01:04:59.639 --> 01:05:01.320 him in. He is the guy could be the guy 1239 01:05:01.360 --> 01:05:01.599 you need. 1240 01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:04.639 Yeah, well a lot to like about him, you know, 1241 01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:10.079 not recovering from a torn acl has some decent weapons 1242 01:05:10.119 --> 01:05:13.119 on the perimeter that you know, defenses won't just be 1243 01:05:13.159 --> 01:05:16.199 able to load up the box hopefully. Yeah, I think 1244 01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:19.119 running back fifteen seems about right. I should probably be 1245 01:05:19.639 --> 01:05:21.679 in business with him a little bit more than I am. 1246 01:05:22.400 --> 01:05:25.760 That early third round pick seems pretty enticing for me. 1247 01:05:26.440 --> 01:05:28.920 Just to give the viewers a little bit of context 1248 01:05:29.079 --> 01:05:31.679 on that. If we look at the other running backs 1249 01:05:31.719 --> 01:05:35.519 going around him, he is right behind Derrick Henry and 1250 01:05:35.599 --> 01:05:37.880 Josh Jacobs, and then you have to wait until the 1251 01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:39.800 end of the it's kind of a tier break, and 1252 01:05:39.840 --> 01:05:41.519 then at the end of the third round you get 1253 01:05:41.559 --> 01:05:44.960 your Kyron Williams, your Jamonte Williams or Travis hn those 1254 01:05:45.039 --> 01:05:47.880 guys there. So Hall Yeah, I mean he's kind of 1255 01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:50.360 the last guy on that tier going forward, and I 1256 01:05:50.400 --> 01:05:53.039 think a player that you draft him, you'll probably be 1257 01:05:53.119 --> 01:05:56.360 happy that you drafted him.

FFPC Insider 1300 01:09:16.159 --> 01:09:20.119 Access rolls on here in our number two for May fourteenth, 1301 01:09:20.199 --> 01:09:23.560 twenty twenty six, being joined by Steph Miller this week 1302 01:09:23.640 --> 01:09:26.960 from Legendary Upside and ship Chasing. Check her out on 1303 01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:31.199 x at Steph Miller fifty seven. We're getting some interesting 1304 01:09:31.319 --> 01:09:35.039 stuff rolling out with the NFL schedule as we watch 1305 01:09:35.119 --> 01:09:37.439 it with you. The first game I think we should 1306 01:09:37.439 --> 01:09:41.479 talk about here, Steph gonna be his best best Ballers 1307 01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:43.760 want to know who do I got to play, or 1308 01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:47.439 who are the players or who are the teams. They're 1309 01:09:47.479 --> 01:09:51.119 going to be crushing it in Week seventeen. And one 1310 01:09:51.159 --> 01:09:52.880 of the things that I think stands out this was 1311 01:09:52.920 --> 01:09:58.039 leaked out earlier yesterday that the Ravens will be going 1312 01:09:58.159 --> 01:10:03.520 to Cincinnati on Thursday Night Football in Week seventeen. I 1313 01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:07.199 know Cincinnati improved their defense this year, but this still 1314 01:10:07.239 --> 01:10:09.600 should be a high scoring game, especially if we have 1315 01:10:09.680 --> 01:10:13.279 a healthy Joe Burrow versus a healthy Lamar Jackson. You 1316 01:10:13.399 --> 01:10:18.600 think about this step with Jay Flowers, with Derrick Henry, 1317 01:10:18.920 --> 01:10:23.319 Chase Brown, Jamar, Chase T. Higgins. There's so many guys 1318 01:10:24.279 --> 01:10:27.479 that you'll want in this week seventeen matchup, and stackable 1319 01:10:27.520 --> 01:10:31.439 options too, Jackson and Flowers, Jackson and Mark Andrews, Joe 1320 01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:33.279 Burrow and I you know, probably not well. I mean 1321 01:10:33.319 --> 01:10:35.880 you probably could do Burrow and Chase or Higgins and 1322 01:10:35.920 --> 01:10:39.800 Burrow as well. But this Week seventeen matchup Ravens Bengals 1323 01:10:39.920 --> 01:10:42.560 good a factor in the FFPC and really any Bestball 1324 01:10:42.600 --> 01:10:45.600 Tournament Championship, the big money will be doled out to 1325 01:10:45.800 --> 01:10:47.960 probably somebody who has him skinned the game in this 1326 01:10:48.119 --> 01:10:48.880 particular game. 1327 01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:53.119 Yeah, I'm so excited to see this as a matchup 1328 01:10:53.159 --> 01:10:55.880 because those are two offenses that I am pretty heavily 1329 01:10:56.000 --> 01:11:00.800 invested in. In general. I can't stop every year. I 1330 01:11:00.840 --> 01:11:03.439 don't know why, I just I go back to the 1331 01:11:03.479 --> 01:11:06.079 wall with Lamar. I've been drafting a lot of Lamar, 1332 01:11:06.119 --> 01:11:09.359 a lot of Flowers. I mean they drafted some rookies 1333 01:11:09.520 --> 01:11:11.600 as well that are going like super late. You can 1334 01:11:11.640 --> 01:11:14.560 always tack on to your stacks. We saw what Derrick 1335 01:11:14.600 --> 01:11:17.920 Henry did, you know with the four touchdown game last year, 1336 01:11:18.119 --> 01:11:22.239 So you know, even if you know he gets hurt, 1337 01:11:22.520 --> 01:11:25.319 who knows, there's some you know, cheap options of whatever 1338 01:11:25.399 --> 01:11:28.119 you want to do. At backup, they did draft running 1339 01:11:28.159 --> 01:11:31.600 back plate as well. Then Justice Hill's still sitting around. 1340 01:11:31.680 --> 01:11:33.600 I mean, I don't know. Then we got Mark Andrews, 1341 01:11:33.640 --> 01:11:36.600 who they finally paid and gave money to. I mean, 1342 01:11:37.039 --> 01:11:40.600 these are just so much fun. And then obviously we 1343 01:11:40.720 --> 01:11:42.840 got on the Bengals side, and I mean, even if 1344 01:11:42.880 --> 01:11:45.199 Burrow goes down, what so we get Joe Flacco? I mean, 1345 01:11:45.439 --> 01:11:49.680 come on, I'm I'm okay with that. You know, give 1346 01:11:49.760 --> 01:11:52.760 the bar? Can you get the ball to Dumar Chase? Yes, okay? 1347 01:11:53.800 --> 01:11:57.359 And then we got to Higgins. They didn't really do 1348 01:11:57.600 --> 01:12:00.560 much upgrade. Maybe they're wide receiver three, but you know, 1349 01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:04.239 Chase Brown should be a smash Again, they didn't upgrade 1350 01:12:04.239 --> 01:12:08.319 their running back too tight end would be interesting. I 1351 01:12:08.399 --> 01:12:12.479 wish that they had gotten a little bit more stuff there. 1352 01:12:13.000 --> 01:12:15.479 But yeah, these offenses are just so much fun and 1353 01:12:15.640 --> 01:12:19.680 I would be excited to be investing in this game 1354 01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:20.159 for sure. 1355 01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:24.760 The other Week seventeen games here we'll do. We'll get 1356 01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:26.760 this one out of the way, because I don't think 1357 01:12:26.760 --> 01:12:31.239 it's that enticing. It's an AFC Championship game rematch where 1358 01:12:31.239 --> 01:12:33.760 we have the Broncos visiting New England, so the game 1359 01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:37.039 not in Denver this time. But to me, that's two 1360 01:12:37.119 --> 01:12:41.279 pretty talented defenses. I don't know how excited you would 1361 01:12:41.319 --> 01:12:45.079 be for Broncos Patriots week seventeen. It probably probably kills 1362 01:12:45.119 --> 01:12:47.039 some of my interests in best ball in you know, 1363 01:12:47.399 --> 01:12:52.520 guys like Jalen Waddle, guys like Trevion Henderson there, Yeah, that. 1364 01:12:52.560 --> 01:12:55.279 Would that would that one's yeah, that's a damper. 1365 01:12:55.840 --> 01:12:56.520 It is a damper. 1366 01:12:57.079 --> 01:12:59.960 It is because I do like like in general, I 1367 01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:03.560 do like Waddle and then that like by himself, and 1368 01:13:03.640 --> 01:13:08.199 I do like the Patriots. You know, still, Jerry Bon's 1369 01:13:08.199 --> 01:13:13.079 always a tough, tough one, you know. I want to 1370 01:13:13.600 --> 01:13:16.159 believe in the upside, so I do take some I 1371 01:13:16.359 --> 01:13:19.560 was out earlier and then somehow talked to myself slightly 1372 01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:21.079 back in. We'll see. 1373 01:13:23.079 --> 01:13:24.960 This one, I think is a little bit more fun. 1374 01:13:25.479 --> 01:13:29.800 Chiefs at Chargers and wee where we could have Mahomes 1375 01:13:29.880 --> 01:13:32.399 and Herbert going at it and we just always we 1376 01:13:32.479 --> 01:13:36.520 already talked about the stacking possibilities with the Chargers. A 1377 01:13:36.600 --> 01:13:40.079 lot of stacking possibilities for Patrick Mahomes too, when when 1378 01:13:40.079 --> 01:13:43.520 you look at is this this might be his lowest 1379 01:13:43.600 --> 01:13:47.359 adp like of his career. I mean, obviously this rookie 1380 01:13:47.399 --> 01:13:49.239 year where he didn't play it was it was super 1381 01:13:49.319 --> 01:13:52.880 low then. But Patrick Mahomes' quarterback twelve in the eleventh 1382 01:13:52.960 --> 01:13:57.079 round pretty easily. Could you get him and Rice him 1383 01:13:57.159 --> 01:13:59.920 and Worthy him and Kelsey, I mean, any of the 1384 01:14:00.359 --> 01:14:03.359 So I think that's interesting that Chiefs Chargers game, and 1385 01:14:03.479 --> 01:14:06.119 that one will be in Los Angeles as well. Some 1386 01:14:06.239 --> 01:14:08.399 Best Ball bro is gonna be paying attention to that one. 1387 01:14:08.359 --> 01:14:12.039 Too, Yeah, I mean, and on that note, you know, 1388 01:14:12.159 --> 01:14:14.479 Kelsey's been super cheap this year as well. I think 1389 01:14:14.520 --> 01:14:17.560 he's one of the best picks you can have. I 1390 01:14:18.039 --> 01:14:20.960 have an obscene him out of Kelsey this year on 1391 01:14:21.039 --> 01:14:25.319 Bestball teams. I just think, I mean, he still was 1392 01:14:25.399 --> 01:14:27.319 paid off like more than the price. I mean, I 1393 01:14:27.399 --> 01:14:29.159 get that he's old, but come on, I'll know what 1394 01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:29.760 we're doing here. 1395 01:14:30.840 --> 01:14:33.680 Yeah, I mean, like people were kind of down on 1396 01:14:33.800 --> 01:14:36.039 him last year, but if you if you take the 1397 01:14:36.159 --> 01:14:38.520 name Travis Kelcey off his stat line you're looking at 1398 01:14:38.520 --> 01:14:41.520 and you're like, yeah, that's actually not that's that's pretty fancy, 1399 01:14:41.920 --> 01:14:47.159 you know. The this next one, I don't know how 1400 01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:49.199 to feel about this. I think this is gonna be 1401 01:14:49.239 --> 01:14:53.079 probably a pretty high scoring game. The Rams visit Tampa 1402 01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:57.800 Bay in Week seventeen as well, so you have Stafford, Adams, Nakoula, 1403 01:14:58.279 --> 01:15:01.760 Williams and Quorum and you know the tight ends obviously 1404 01:15:02.039 --> 01:15:04.800 taking on those pass catchers we talked about with Tampa, 1405 01:15:04.840 --> 01:15:06.359 and then obviously we'll see what they have in the 1406 01:15:06.399 --> 01:15:09.640 backfield then. But that Rams Tampa won might be interesting. 1407 01:15:09.720 --> 01:15:12.880 Maybe definitely not as interesting as Baltimore and Cincinnati because 1408 01:15:12.920 --> 01:15:15.359 the quarterback cachet is a little bit lower, But Rams 1409 01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:17.399 and Bucks should be fun too. In Week seventeen. 1410 01:15:18.039 --> 01:15:20.880 Oh yeah, I mean those are offenses that are always 1411 01:15:21.319 --> 01:15:24.439 i mean, the Bucks to usually push other people to 1412 01:15:24.520 --> 01:15:26.680 pass more too than they have passed. I mean, I 1413 01:15:26.760 --> 01:15:29.880 know that it's not always going to carry over every season, 1414 01:15:29.920 --> 01:15:32.960 but yeah, those feel pretty fun. I mean, that's those 1415 01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:36.960 are teams they can put up those points. Yeah, and 1416 01:15:37.000 --> 01:15:39.960 I'd assume the weather's probably pretty decent too. Yeah, probably 1417 01:15:40.000 --> 01:15:42.319 a warm weather place. So that's something else to consider 1418 01:15:42.800 --> 01:15:44.760 I'm not expecting like a snow game there. 1419 01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:47.520 No, definitely not. They We got a SOL game there. 1420 01:15:47.520 --> 01:15:50.520 We got other problems to be worried about. Yeah, Washington 1421 01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:53.760 and Jacksonville is kind of whatever. New Orleans and Atlanta 1422 01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:58.119 in week seventeen, so you have this Tyler Shook supposedly 1423 01:15:58.199 --> 01:16:01.760 high powered team with Etchian there now and Jordan Tyson 1424 01:16:01.800 --> 01:16:04.880 who you mentioned earlier, were talking about Carnell Tate, I 1425 01:16:05.039 --> 01:16:08.760 like Juwan Johnson against those Atlanta Falcons who were breaking down, 1426 01:16:08.840 --> 01:16:11.399 and this is one of those games where you'd love, 1427 01:16:11.439 --> 01:16:13.279 you know, tell me who the starting quarterback is for 1428 01:16:13.359 --> 01:16:15.399 Atlanta in week seventeen and I'll know who I want 1429 01:16:15.439 --> 01:16:17.720 to target on that team. You're not gonna know. But 1430 01:16:17.880 --> 01:16:20.239 that Saints Falcons game, that could be another fun, high 1431 01:16:20.239 --> 01:16:23.279 scoring one. We've been talking mostly AFC teams. That could 1432 01:16:23.319 --> 01:16:25.199 be a fun NFC one in week seventeen stuff. 1433 01:16:26.000 --> 01:16:28.239 Yeah, agreed. I mean, I think Kellen Moore is going 1434 01:16:28.279 --> 01:16:31.920 to throw a ton on I'm they you know, now 1435 01:16:32.079 --> 01:16:36.079 have somebody finally to go along with the lava, and yeah, 1436 01:16:36.239 --> 01:16:38.279 I think it's going to be a really fine game 1437 01:16:38.319 --> 01:16:40.359 as well. And they're always in a battle, you know. 1438 01:16:40.920 --> 01:16:48.439 Yeah, the there's Colts at Browns. But what about this 1439 01:16:48.560 --> 01:16:53.159 one your Dallas Cowboys in week seventeen, Steph hosting the 1440 01:16:53.319 --> 01:16:56.800 Fighting Jackson Darts out of New York. The Giants come 1441 01:16:56.880 --> 01:17:00.279 to Big d in week seventeen to again, and we 1442 01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:03.199 talked about this with neighbors. We said, maybe at the 1443 01:17:03.279 --> 01:17:04.720 end of the season, he'll be at the peak of 1444 01:17:04.760 --> 01:17:06.760 his powers, or at least as close to the peak 1445 01:17:06.800 --> 01:17:09.159 of his powers as he can be this first year 1446 01:17:09.239 --> 01:17:11.680 coming off the ACL And now the Giants come down 1447 01:17:11.760 --> 01:17:14.399 to take on the Cowboys in week seventeen. We could 1448 01:17:14.439 --> 01:17:17.079 be looking at you know, thirty something to thirty something 1449 01:17:17.159 --> 01:17:17.640 in that game. 1450 01:17:18.720 --> 01:17:20.960 It could be a fun game. I will say the Giants, 1451 01:17:21.199 --> 01:17:23.640 I'm curious how good their defense is. I mean, they've 1452 01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:25.640 been having a lot of top picks, they took a 1453 01:17:25.720 --> 01:17:29.479 lot of so I hope that doesn't put a damper 1454 01:17:29.640 --> 01:17:33.039 on just their games in general, you know, because they 1455 01:17:33.119 --> 01:17:34.760 might be better than my thought. Like they you know, 1456 01:17:34.880 --> 01:17:39.520 they spent some top draft picks on defense, so they 1457 01:17:39.640 --> 01:17:42.239 really have revamped it. And then if they're not pushing 1458 01:17:42.319 --> 01:17:44.760 the other teams, if they don't have neighbors and don't 1459 01:17:44.840 --> 01:17:48.399 have the big scores, I hope they're as fun as 1460 01:17:48.439 --> 01:17:51.399 we expect. That's one that I still need to kind 1461 01:17:51.399 --> 01:17:53.840 of think through, I think, but I definitely think that 1462 01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:58.560 the Cowboys usually put up and don't slow down on 1463 01:17:58.800 --> 01:18:01.880 when they're playing the Giants. They usually play them pretty well. 1464 01:18:01.920 --> 01:18:04.279 So I'm excited. I'm excited about that one is the 1465 01:18:04.359 --> 01:18:07.319 matchup right now, and hopefully Neighbors is back to full 1466 01:18:07.359 --> 01:18:09.319 strength there and we can see a sent back and 1467 01:18:09.439 --> 01:18:10.399 forth action. 1468 01:18:11.960 --> 01:18:15.079 That we're getting into some blah ones here. Pittsburgh at Tennessee, 1469 01:18:15.279 --> 01:18:18.600 Buffalo at Miami. I mean, that's there's not a ton 1470 01:18:18.680 --> 01:18:23.279 of light there. The Vikings visit the Jets. Okay, Seattle 1471 01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:25.760 goes to Carolina. Yeah, there could be something there, But 1472 01:18:26.560 --> 01:18:28.600 by and large, I'm not excited about that. We have 1473 01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:32.319 the tight End Bowl when Brock Bauers goes to Arizona 1474 01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:35.560 to take on Trey McBride Raiders at Cardinals, and then 1475 01:18:35.560 --> 01:18:39.119 we get it will be fun. We get this little 1476 01:18:39.199 --> 01:18:43.319 jem the Ben Johnson Bowl. Detroit visit Chicago, so we'll 1477 01:18:43.319 --> 01:18:47.920 get Lions at Bears in Week seventeen. Two offenses definitely, 1478 01:18:48.039 --> 01:18:50.119 I mean, I don't think you can call the Lions 1479 01:18:50.199 --> 01:18:52.199 on the upswing anymore. They've they've been one of the 1480 01:18:52.239 --> 01:18:55.239 best offenses in the NFL the last several years, versus 1481 01:18:55.279 --> 01:18:58.159 the Bears, who have who have really come on this 1482 01:18:58.279 --> 01:19:01.319 past season, the first under under Johnson. A lot of 1483 01:19:01.359 --> 01:19:05.399 points there. These are stackable teams. Caleb Williams and Luther 1484 01:19:05.479 --> 01:19:09.159 Byrd and Caleb Williams, Colston Lovelin, Jared Goff, James and Williams, 1485 01:19:09.199 --> 01:19:12.560 Jared Goff, Sam Laporta, Jared Goff, Monross, Saint Brown. So 1486 01:19:12.720 --> 01:19:15.520 that's another one. We talked about, that Baltimore Cincinnati game. 1487 01:19:16.279 --> 01:19:18.920 And then you know, obviously the Rams and Buccaneers are 1488 01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:21.359 probably in the same vein. But this Lions Bears game 1489 01:19:21.399 --> 01:19:23.479 that's late for a four to twenty five start, that 1490 01:19:23.560 --> 01:19:25.359 should be a good one as well, and one that 1491 01:19:26.319 --> 01:19:28.760 is probably going to help the sides you know, thousands, 1492 01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:32.239 maybe even millions of dollars in fantasy championships this year. 1493 01:19:33.199 --> 01:19:36.319 Yeah, I definitely agree with that. I mean, also you 1494 01:19:36.359 --> 01:19:39.319 get you know, Ben Johnson revenge game. I think they 1495 01:19:39.439 --> 01:19:41.640 just play each other extra hard and go at it 1496 01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:44.600 and pull out all the tricks. And I mean I 1497 01:19:44.680 --> 01:19:46.880 think both of these offenses we know are going to 1498 01:19:46.920 --> 01:19:48.680 be super fun for fantasy this year, and they got 1499 01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:51.880 so many skilled players. I'm excited. Those are teams that 1500 01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:55.079 I've already been, you know, investing in, So hopefully when 1501 01:19:55.119 --> 01:19:57.880 I look through my portfolio, I can I fell into 1502 01:19:57.960 --> 01:20:01.000 some of these matchups, so I'll have the fun later 1503 01:20:01.199 --> 01:20:04.560 to see. I count Week seventeen correlation you managed to 1504 01:20:04.640 --> 01:20:06.199 get when you're drafting early. 1505 01:20:06.720 --> 01:20:09.600 The and yeah, it's sort of like it's sort of 1506 01:20:09.680 --> 01:20:12.199 like you know, you're drafting these teams all over again 1507 01:20:12.239 --> 01:20:14.560 because you know you're looking at him for the first 1508 01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:16.760 time in a brand new light where you know who 1509 01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:18.319 they're going to be playing and when they're going to 1510 01:20:18.359 --> 01:20:20.840 be playing them. That is all of them except for 1511 01:20:20.960 --> 01:20:25.720 the last two games from the from the Week seventeen schedule. 1512 01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:28.880 The Sunday night game will be at the Big Denim 1513 01:20:28.960 --> 01:20:31.359 as I call it, from Levi Stadium in Santa Clara. 1514 01:20:31.439 --> 01:20:35.680 The Niners will host the Philadelphia Eagles. Certainly some high 1515 01:20:35.720 --> 01:20:38.279 powered offenses going on. We'll be waiting all day, Steph 1516 01:20:38.399 --> 01:20:42.359 for Sunday Night when Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley take on McCaffrey, 1517 01:20:42.720 --> 01:20:45.319 take on brock Purty. Mike Evans will obviously be in 1518 01:20:45.399 --> 01:20:48.319 that game as well as long as he's healthy. Eagles Niners. 1519 01:20:48.399 --> 01:20:50.880 That's gonna be a nice little prelude on Sunday night 1520 01:20:51.399 --> 01:20:53.199 for the final game, which we'll get to in a second. 1521 01:20:53.800 --> 01:20:55.600 But yeah, I mean, you know, Brock Purty one of 1522 01:20:55.640 --> 01:20:58.319 the best quarterbacks in the league fantasy wise to end 1523 01:20:58.439 --> 01:21:01.520 last season. And then you have brand new offensive coordinator 1524 01:21:01.680 --> 01:21:04.439 and Sean mannon coming into its inject some life into 1525 01:21:04.479 --> 01:21:09.079 this Eagles offense stackable. Yes for those some correlation there 1526 01:21:09.279 --> 01:21:11.359 Eagles in San Francisco on Sunday night. I think the 1527 01:21:11.479 --> 01:21:14.600 NFL is starting to understand how big fantasy is to 1528 01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:15.960 help grow their game. 1529 01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:19.920 Yeah, that's an interesting one. I could see going both ways, 1530 01:21:19.960 --> 01:21:24.800 because that one could be. Yeah, I think I like it. 1531 01:21:24.880 --> 01:21:27.399 I mean I did take I like taking the forty 1532 01:21:27.479 --> 01:21:30.119 nine ers. Yeah, I mean they score points, but you 1533 01:21:30.199 --> 01:21:32.560 know they also both teams love to kick field goals. 1534 01:21:32.600 --> 01:21:34.279 So who knows, Like we'll see. 1535 01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:38.920 The game will and probably not on the greatest matchup 1536 01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:40.640 that we could get, because there are some really good 1537 01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:43.640 ones in Week seventeen, But the NFL has this slate 1538 01:21:43.720 --> 01:21:45.920 in the final game of Week seventeen, Monday Night Football 1539 01:21:45.960 --> 01:21:49.199 on January fourth, twenty twenty seven. C J. Stroud and 1540 01:21:49.239 --> 01:21:51.960 the Houston Texans come up to the frozen tundra in 1541 01:21:52.119 --> 01:21:54.199 Green Bay to take on Jordan Love and the Packers. 1542 01:21:54.600 --> 01:21:57.479 And while there are things to like about these offenses, 1543 01:21:57.920 --> 01:22:02.520 Nico Collins, David Montgomery, maybe Tank Dell will be meaningful 1544 01:22:02.560 --> 01:22:05.079 at that point too. And then you get the Packers 1545 01:22:05.159 --> 01:22:07.920 with Love and with Watson and Jacobs and Tucker Craft 1546 01:22:07.960 --> 01:22:11.039 and all those guys. The problem is it's January and 1547 01:22:11.119 --> 01:22:14.039 it's Green Bay. It's gonna be cold. I don't know 1548 01:22:14.159 --> 01:22:17.039 how much scoring we'll see on that final Monday night game. 1549 01:22:17.640 --> 01:22:21.119 Andie Houston's defense is so good. Yeah, I don't really 1550 01:22:21.199 --> 01:22:24.439 want whoever's playing them, honestly, Like it just does not 1551 01:22:24.600 --> 01:22:28.520 scream fantasy goodness. Like they're gonna put a damper on it. 1552 01:22:28.840 --> 01:22:30.840 And I don't know. I mean, I'm from Texas. I'm 1553 01:22:30.840 --> 01:22:32.640 gonna tell you it does not get that cold here, 1554 01:22:32.800 --> 01:22:35.399 So I don't know how well they're gonna be able 1555 01:22:35.439 --> 01:22:39.920 to play on offense. Like, Yeah, that's one that I 1556 01:22:39.960 --> 01:22:42.960 probably would stay away from a little bit more that. 1557 01:22:43.279 --> 01:22:45.840 That is your week seventeen schedule. They're rolling it out 1558 01:22:45.920 --> 01:22:47.600 right now, they're breaking I mean the whole thing is out. 1559 01:22:47.680 --> 01:22:50.319 You can go on. I'm on ESPN's website. They have 1560 01:22:50.399 --> 01:22:54.079 the entire schedule out there right now I'm looking at 1561 01:22:54.159 --> 01:22:58.359 It looks like the bye weeks are are starting Week five, 1562 01:22:58.439 --> 01:23:01.880 which I think was what we had last year. We'll 1563 01:23:01.920 --> 01:23:05.960 have buys week five through Week twelve and uh no 1564 01:23:06.159 --> 01:23:10.119 buye everybody plays in week thirteen, and then week fourteen 1565 01:23:10.159 --> 01:23:13.359 we'll have the Patriots, Giants, Niners, and Panthers on a 1566 01:23:13.439 --> 01:23:17.439 bye the bipocalypse week stuff. It looks like we have 1567 01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:22.640 just one of them this year, thank god. Week eight 1568 01:23:23.319 --> 01:23:26.560 Raiders year well, yeah it was, yeah, it was. Yeah, 1569 01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:32.800 you're right last year, Yeah, Raiders, Seahawks, Cardinals, Lions, Rams, Jaguars. 1570 01:23:33.199 --> 01:23:37.640 So we'll have six down by in week eight. But 1571 01:23:37.960 --> 01:23:40.840 you know before that, Week six, two teams, Week seven 1572 01:23:41.079 --> 01:23:44.079 just two teams. Week eleven just two teams as well. 1573 01:23:44.239 --> 01:23:47.119 So I don't know, I feel like buys there are. 1574 01:23:47.319 --> 01:23:49.960 It'd be nice if if if we could get them 1575 01:23:49.960 --> 01:23:52.720 all out of the way prior to week thirteen. But 1576 01:23:53.119 --> 01:23:55.000 we're gonna get these four teams on buy and week 1577 01:23:55.079 --> 01:23:58.239 fourteen anyway. So there you have it. More on the 1578 01:23:58.279 --> 01:24:01.279 schedule release in upcoming up episodes not only have f 1579 01:24:01.359 --> 01:24:04.399 FPC insider access, but the high stakes Fantasy Football out 1580 01:24:04.399 --> 01:24:06.399 of the road of his high stakes, lowdown and extra 1581 01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:09.239 reps as well. If we can go back to Steph 1582 01:24:09.560 --> 01:24:11.880 some of the stuff we didn't touch on in that 1583 01:24:11.960 --> 01:24:14.119 first segment, I would like to get your thoughts on 1584 01:24:15.319 --> 01:24:18.119 Jalen Naylor moving on to the Raiders. He's replaced by 1585 01:24:18.239 --> 01:24:21.880 Juwan Jennings on Minnesota. So you have you're justin Jefferson, 1586 01:24:22.199 --> 01:24:24.600 you have your Jordan Aison, and now you have your 1587 01:24:24.680 --> 01:24:27.479 Juwan Jennings. A lot of jays on this team catching 1588 01:24:27.920 --> 01:24:32.800 passes from Kyler Murray. Is Juwan Jennings going to be 1589 01:24:32.840 --> 01:24:35.680 a fantasy factor as the number three receiver? Or do 1590 01:24:35.720 --> 01:24:40.000 you think he actually hurts the production of Jordan Addison 1591 01:24:40.039 --> 01:24:41.920 this year to the point where maybe you don't want 1592 01:24:41.920 --> 01:24:43.840 to be on either one of those players in your 1593 01:24:43.920 --> 01:24:44.600 fantasy leagues. 1594 01:24:46.720 --> 01:24:48.840 It's a tough one. I've been thinking about this quite 1595 01:24:48.840 --> 01:24:53.039 a bit myself. He is an upgrade to me obviously 1596 01:24:53.159 --> 01:24:56.760 on Naylor. So they did okay, I mean Jennings is 1597 01:24:56.800 --> 01:24:59.319 a legitimate player, like he's really good. We saw what 1598 01:24:59.439 --> 01:25:02.199 he did on the forty nine ers. There's a lot 1599 01:25:02.239 --> 01:25:04.880 of mouths defeat. Can Kyler get the ball to everyone? 1600 01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:09.319 I do not know. It probably definitely does hurt some 1601 01:25:09.560 --> 01:25:11.960 of them because it's going to be spread out. I 1602 01:25:12.039 --> 01:25:15.560 feel like a lot I'm sure justin Jefferson will get him. 1603 01:25:15.760 --> 01:25:21.760 But maybe the answer is just Kyler's gonna be pretty good, Like, 1604 01:25:22.039 --> 01:25:24.079 I mean, he might score points, like it may be 1605 01:25:24.239 --> 01:25:26.359 hard to figure out the right guy to stack him 1606 01:25:26.359 --> 01:25:29.399 with outside of Jefferson, But I do think that Kyler 1607 01:25:29.439 --> 01:25:31.399 in itself and if maybe he gets back to having 1608 01:25:31.399 --> 01:25:34.680 a little more rushing production, he might be another one 1609 01:25:34.760 --> 01:25:37.399 that's kind of sneaky enterprise. Like I mean, I definitely 1610 01:25:37.560 --> 01:25:40.520 do believe in this offense, and you know they have 1611 01:25:40.600 --> 01:25:43.279 a good coach and stuff, So I mean, I think 1612 01:25:43.319 --> 01:25:46.239 it could be fun. I wouldn't go. I definitely would 1613 01:25:46.319 --> 01:25:48.279 maybe see if you can get that little bit of 1614 01:25:48.399 --> 01:25:53.800 discount on Addison. And honestly, how much has Jenning's risen 1615 01:25:54.000 --> 01:25:58.039 because it doesn't seem like he's moved. So I think 1616 01:25:58.640 --> 01:26:00.239 if you look at the guys he's going around out, 1617 01:26:01.319 --> 01:26:03.520 a lot of them might be zeros. So I don't 1618 01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:07.880 hate taking a shot still because you know, especially in basketball, 1619 01:26:07.960 --> 01:26:11.039 he could have that week you know, anybody can have 1620 01:26:11.079 --> 01:26:14.159 that week where they get you those multi touchdowns in 1621 01:26:14.199 --> 01:26:14.760 the right time. 1622 01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:18.039 Well didn't I mean, didn't he have a week last year? 1623 01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:20.800 I mean what was what was the one there was 1624 01:26:20.800 --> 01:26:22.920 the year before where he had like that fifty point game. 1625 01:26:23.439 --> 01:26:26.039 Yeah, I thought, god, what, I'm looking it up right 1626 01:26:26.079 --> 01:26:30.000 now because I remember seeing that. I'm like this, rubbing 1627 01:26:30.079 --> 01:26:32.960 my eyes, like Juwan Jennings really this is yeah. 1628 01:26:33.000 --> 01:26:35.359 I picked him up on waivers the week he and 1629 01:26:35.439 --> 01:26:38.119 played him in La like when he that happened. So 1630 01:26:38.720 --> 01:26:39.840 I was pretty happy about that. 1631 01:26:40.560 --> 01:26:43.520 Yeah, it was. It was unbelievable. It was. 1632 01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:44.359 It was insane. 1633 01:26:45.239 --> 01:26:47.680 I'm trying to find the game. You said twenty twenty four, right, 1634 01:26:48.359 --> 01:26:50.800 I think yeah, I think so twenty four. I'm looking 1635 01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:56.079 it up right now. Yeah, my god, okay, okay. So 1636 01:26:56.279 --> 01:26:59.479 he had this was Week three of twenty twenty four, 1637 01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:02.399 in a twenty seven to twenty four loss to the Rams. 1638 01:27:02.720 --> 01:27:05.239 Eleven catches, one hundred and seventy five yards and three 1639 01:27:05.319 --> 01:27:08.720 touchdowns on twelve targets, So he basically caught everything that 1640 01:27:08.840 --> 01:27:11.800 was thrown to him too. Yeah, there's something there with 1641 01:27:12.159 --> 01:27:15.319 Juwan Jennings. I want to wrap this up the Vikings 1642 01:27:15.359 --> 01:27:19.720 conversation Kyler Murray wi beggar, pardon quarterback sixteen right now? Steph? 1643 01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:20.680 Is that too low for him? 1644 01:27:22.039 --> 01:27:25.000 I love Kyler, I've been taking him. Yeah, I think 1645 01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:27.039 he's a value he is. 1646 01:27:27.119 --> 01:27:31.640 Going right after It's Purty Stafford Knicks, then Murray then 1647 01:27:31.760 --> 01:27:34.840 shook who is he shook his closing in on Kyler Murray. 1648 01:27:35.359 --> 01:27:38.680 Then you have Goff and Mayfield after that. But yeah, 1649 01:27:39.239 --> 01:27:44.920 Murray's legs that offense. With Kevin O'Connell as his head coach, 1650 01:27:45.399 --> 01:27:46.760 there's a lot to like there. I think he is 1651 01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:52.840 a little underpriced. Speaking of quarterback whisperers, Kevin Stefanski says, 1652 01:27:53.279 --> 01:27:55.359 I don't think there is a limit to where Zecharie 1653 01:27:55.359 --> 01:27:57.800 a Branch can line up on the field. Well, thank god, 1654 01:27:57.880 --> 01:27:59.960 because they're going to have the line over the field 1655 01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:02.880 in order for him to be creating. You know, I 1656 01:28:03.039 --> 01:28:06.239 said throughout the whole pre draft process stuff, I was 1657 01:28:06.319 --> 01:28:09.039 not a Zachariah Branch guy. Really, a lot of red 1658 01:28:09.119 --> 01:28:13.079 flags in his profile. I do think he landed really 1659 01:28:13.159 --> 01:28:16.359 really well in Atlanta, and and certainly there is a 1660 01:28:16.560 --> 01:28:19.119 fairly clear path for him being the number two wide 1661 01:28:19.159 --> 01:28:22.359 receiver in Atlanta this year. I wonder how valuable that 1662 01:28:22.640 --> 01:28:25.159 is though, being the number two wide receiver on a 1663 01:28:25.199 --> 01:28:28.319 team that already features but Jean Robinson, Drake London and 1664 01:28:28.520 --> 01:28:32.359 Kyle Pitts. How much have you been drafting Zachariah Branch 1665 01:28:32.399 --> 01:28:33.720 at all this year or even staying away? 1666 01:28:35.439 --> 01:28:37.680 I have drafted him. I was not drafting him at 1667 01:28:37.760 --> 01:28:40.079 first because I did not love him, but I have 1668 01:28:40.199 --> 01:28:43.159 been drafting him now because there is a clear path. 1669 01:28:43.640 --> 01:28:48.720 I mean, obviously he was a He's a really interesting 1670 01:28:48.880 --> 01:28:53.960 guy because Georgia decided that they would just throw him screens, 1671 01:28:55.199 --> 01:28:57.600 and I mean, is that his fault? I don't know. 1672 01:28:57.960 --> 01:29:00.640 He's pretty good with the ball in its hands. He's 1673 01:29:00.760 --> 01:29:05.319 got some yak ability, So you know, there is a 1674 01:29:05.439 --> 01:29:07.439 shot that there's a lot more there that we just 1675 01:29:07.520 --> 01:29:09.479 didn't see. I mean, they didn't do him any fade 1676 01:29:09.520 --> 01:29:12.000 for the way they played and featured him, but he 1677 01:29:12.319 --> 01:29:15.119 was drafted. They spent you know, some capital on him. 1678 01:29:15.680 --> 01:29:19.600 I do think that he could be a pretty fun 1679 01:29:19.880 --> 01:29:22.960 player there, and there is some room. I mean, I yeah, 1680 01:29:23.039 --> 01:29:24.560 Pitts is the title. I mean, we're still are going 1681 01:29:24.600 --> 01:29:27.319 to have at least two wide receiver sets, so you know, 1682 01:29:28.039 --> 01:29:31.159 somebody else is gonna be out there, and I do 1683 01:29:31.319 --> 01:29:34.680 think that he probably has some more versatile than what 1684 01:29:34.760 --> 01:29:37.439 we've seen, and I do like that, you know, if 1685 01:29:37.600 --> 01:29:38.840 he's good with the ball in his hands and they 1686 01:29:38.920 --> 01:29:40.840 just want to get him the ball, hopefully they'll figure 1687 01:29:40.880 --> 01:29:41.159 it out. 1688 01:29:42.640 --> 01:29:47.560 The uh Zecharia Branch I will I will probably have 1689 01:29:47.680 --> 01:29:49.880 him on a couple of teams. I still don't like 1690 01:29:50.000 --> 01:29:54.079 him even despite this landing spot. But when you consider 1691 01:29:54.159 --> 01:29:56.119 where he's going in drafts, I mean, it's not like 1692 01:29:56.239 --> 01:29:59.479 you're there's not there's you know, it's not like you're 1693 01:29:59.520 --> 01:30:01.479 giving up a whole lot by taking Branch. So there 1694 01:30:01.560 --> 01:30:04.880 is something he said to that real quick on the Chiefs. 1695 01:30:05.560 --> 01:30:08.600 This is kind of interesting, and I don't quite Frankly, 1696 01:30:08.720 --> 01:30:12.319 I don't know how you felt about Xavier Worthy when 1697 01:30:12.399 --> 01:30:15.920 he was coming into the NFL and then obviously kind 1698 01:30:15.920 --> 01:30:18.239 of a mini loss season last year. We got some 1699 01:30:20.000 --> 01:30:24.479 light shed on that by Andy Reid last week that 1700 01:30:25.039 --> 01:30:27.600 he said the Chiefs were afraid to do certain things. 1701 01:30:27.880 --> 01:30:30.680 End quote with Xavier Worthy after he had that shoulder 1702 01:30:30.720 --> 01:30:33.039 injury when he got blasted by his own teammate Travis 1703 01:30:33.119 --> 01:30:36.359 Kelce in Week one. It was a fully torn laborm 1704 01:30:36.800 --> 01:30:39.359 and he didn't come back until Week four, never got 1705 01:30:39.439 --> 01:30:42.920 higher than eighty five yards in any single game last season. 1706 01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:51.199 The Chiefs were limiting his routes run last year, but 1707 01:30:51.600 --> 01:30:53.720 now Andy Reid says he can run the full routree 1708 01:30:53.800 --> 01:30:57.199 again because the shoulders heeled, the Laboram shield, whatever, He's 1709 01:30:57.239 --> 01:31:01.439 good to go. Wide receiver thirty three for Xavier Worthy 1710 01:31:01.479 --> 01:31:04.439 his rookie year in twenty twenty four, Wide receiver fifty 1711 01:31:04.600 --> 01:31:07.520 nine this past year. You think he's going to be 1712 01:31:07.560 --> 01:31:10.279 better than wide receiver thirty three this year? And a 1713 01:31:10.319 --> 01:31:13.239 couple of things to consider Travis Kelcey obviously on the 1714 01:31:13.279 --> 01:31:15.920 back nine of his career, the presence of Rashie Rice 1715 01:31:16.279 --> 01:31:18.800 on the squad, and the addition of Kenneth Walker to 1716 01:31:18.880 --> 01:31:19.760 the backfield stuff. 1717 01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:24.680 Yeah, I mean Walker matters and stuff. But you know 1718 01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:27.640 what they didn't do. They didn't draft another receiver. Great point, 1719 01:31:28.800 --> 01:31:31.560 and I mean it's one of those you know, c 1720 01:31:31.840 --> 01:31:33.920 the meame of. You know, as soon as I thought 1721 01:31:33.920 --> 01:31:36.239 I was out, they got me. They're really me back in. Yeah, 1722 01:31:36.439 --> 01:31:38.640 I mean this made sense. I want to believe. I mean, 1723 01:31:38.720 --> 01:31:41.279 we know he's a big play threat, he's a fast guy. 1724 01:31:41.359 --> 01:31:44.119 I mean, we know Mahomes can chuck that ball, like 1725 01:31:45.840 --> 01:31:48.479 I'm willing to go right back to the wall here 1726 01:31:48.680 --> 01:31:51.079 and what we thought last year. There's a lot of 1727 01:31:51.119 --> 01:31:53.680 good reasons why it didn't work out, and I think 1728 01:31:53.920 --> 01:31:56.000 it's a good chance that we see what we thought 1729 01:31:56.039 --> 01:31:58.159 we would last year this year, and now we're getting 1730 01:31:58.159 --> 01:32:02.640 a discount, so especially with those extra you know, because 1731 01:32:02.640 --> 01:32:04.199 I do know he did have the shoulder, and that 1732 01:32:04.319 --> 01:32:05.840 makes sense of why they wouldn't want to do that 1733 01:32:06.000 --> 01:32:08.279 Bee Jim, and I think if they were concerned, they 1734 01:32:08.319 --> 01:32:12.199 would have made another move in the draft, and they didn't. 1735 01:32:12.359 --> 01:32:15.680 So because they had they were right in line. I mean, 1736 01:32:15.720 --> 01:32:17.640 they had the picks to do it. They could have 1737 01:32:17.720 --> 01:32:19.840 invested in a receiver if they felt the need and 1738 01:32:19.920 --> 01:32:22.800 were worried about it. So obviously I think they have 1739 01:32:23.000 --> 01:32:25.640 some faith there because you know, yeah they have Rashie, 1740 01:32:25.640 --> 01:32:27.239 but like you say, they still have a lot of aging, 1741 01:32:27.520 --> 01:32:28.600 you know, with Kelsey and things. 1742 01:32:29.680 --> 01:32:32.800 If you look at if you look at the depth 1743 01:32:32.960 --> 01:32:36.319 chart for the Chiefs right now at at wide receiver, 1744 01:32:36.520 --> 01:32:40.680 Remember Mark, he's Brown not there anymore, He's he's now Philly. Yeah, 1745 01:32:40.800 --> 01:32:46.960 you're looking at Taekwon Thornton, Jalen Royle's Jeff, Yeah, I 1746 01:32:47.000 --> 01:32:49.800 did nothing. Jeff Caldway, I think was an undrafted free agent. 1747 01:32:50.199 --> 01:32:54.159 I mean the wide receiver show is worthy and it's 1748 01:32:54.279 --> 01:32:56.720 Rashie Rice this year. I mean, yeah, he did so. 1749 01:32:57.239 --> 01:32:59.159 So I think, yeah, when and when you look at Worthy, 1750 01:32:59.159 --> 01:33:01.479 what I say, you finished it? And wide receiver fifty 1751 01:33:01.560 --> 01:33:04.640 nine last year, wide receiver thirty three the year before, 1752 01:33:04.840 --> 01:33:07.159 he's wide receiver fifty two. Right now at the eleven 1753 01:33:07.199 --> 01:33:09.520 oh six. I think that might be a buying opportunity 1754 01:33:09.560 --> 01:33:11.560 for people to take advantage of that. To the Big Gorilla, 1755 01:33:12.520 --> 01:33:15.119 I said, we get to more Cowboys stuff, Steph, and 1756 01:33:15.359 --> 01:33:17.640 we're gonna do that right now. George Pickens, let's go 1757 01:33:17.720 --> 01:33:20.479 to Big D and talk about him. He has officially 1758 01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:24.640 signed his franchise tag. He's going to get paid twenty 1759 01:33:24.720 --> 01:33:29.399 seven point three million dollars this year, fully guaranteed. What's 1760 01:33:29.439 --> 01:33:31.640 the scuttle butt on what's going on with a long 1761 01:33:31.760 --> 01:33:36.279 term deal there. I've heard differing things from from the 1762 01:33:36.399 --> 01:33:38.840 Joneses there that they were going to work on it. No, 1763 01:33:38.920 --> 01:33:42.960 they're not going to work on it. Pickens this year, 1764 01:33:43.760 --> 01:33:46.359 you know, he's kind of a mercurial guy. And then 1765 01:33:46.399 --> 01:33:50.920 you also consider that there's there's still a trade on 1766 01:33:51.039 --> 01:33:53.479 the table or a trade possibility. You tell me what's 1767 01:33:53.560 --> 01:33:56.520 going on with Pickens, and then most importantly, stuff tell 1768 01:33:56.560 --> 01:33:59.479 the viewers what we should be doing with George Pickens 1769 01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:03.119 f FPC big Grilla drafts. Knowing that he's wide receiver 1770 01:34:03.319 --> 01:34:05.039 ten at the three or four. 1771 01:34:05.039 --> 01:34:09.359 Right now, I have no idea. I wish I knew 1772 01:34:09.439 --> 01:34:11.920 more about Dallas and what they're doing. I mean it 1773 01:34:12.079 --> 01:34:14.920 feels to me like I do think he's gonna be 1774 01:34:15.399 --> 01:34:17.920 on Dallas this year. I mean they're gonna play him 1775 01:34:18.119 --> 01:34:22.800 because I feel like they would have again maybe drafted somebody, 1776 01:34:22.880 --> 01:34:25.800 maybe not you know, given Lemon to the Eagles, you know, 1777 01:34:25.880 --> 01:34:28.239 in their lap or something like, there would have been something. 1778 01:34:28.279 --> 01:34:33.000 I mean, they didn't take any receivers until like super late. 1779 01:34:33.079 --> 01:34:34.880 The drafted a couple guys and I think picked up 1780 01:34:34.920 --> 01:34:37.239 some again on drafted free agents. So there's nothing there. 1781 01:34:37.439 --> 01:34:39.479 I mean, you got Florinois at number three, but like 1782 01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:47.079 oh now, I oh oh oh. Jalen Tolbert is gone, 1783 01:34:47.159 --> 01:34:49.680 he went to Miami. I mean, so it's like there's 1784 01:34:49.760 --> 01:34:52.520 not much back there. Uh, they're investing. I mean, there's 1785 01:34:53.319 --> 01:34:55.680 pick it seems like he wants to be here. I 1786 01:34:55.800 --> 01:34:58.920 don't know long term what they'll manage to do. You know, 1787 01:34:59.119 --> 01:35:02.960 the cap is o beast. Hopefully I'd like to see 1788 01:35:03.000 --> 01:35:05.039 them give him a long term deal. I think they 1789 01:35:05.199 --> 01:35:09.680 make a great duo. I'm taking him, I'm drafting him. 1790 01:35:10.640 --> 01:35:13.600 I think that him and Ceed could easily pay off 1791 01:35:13.640 --> 01:35:14.960 and the Cowboys could just put up a lot of 1792 01:35:15.000 --> 01:35:18.600 points this season. So I'm pretty excited. We'll see, We'll see. 1793 01:35:19.319 --> 01:35:22.760 I think they would have done stuff during the draft 1794 01:35:22.960 --> 01:35:26.920 and had that follow through to tuition fuition, and it 1795 01:35:27.000 --> 01:35:29.119 feels like also like he's not going to hold out 1796 01:35:29.159 --> 01:35:31.000 and stuff from what I've heard, so it seems. 1797 01:35:32.359 --> 01:35:35.359 Okay for the moment that was always my big thing 1798 01:35:35.760 --> 01:35:38.880 is okay, Yeah, I know he signed it, But what 1799 01:35:39.039 --> 01:35:41.520 happens if he's like, you know, because he's the type 1800 01:35:41.560 --> 01:35:43.000 of guy that would do that where he's like, you 1801 01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:44.680 know what, no, screw it, I want to get paid. 1802 01:35:44.680 --> 01:35:46.039 You're gonna pay me, or I'm not going to show up. 1803 01:35:46.039 --> 01:35:48.520 I'm gonna pay the fines or whatever. And I think 1804 01:35:48.560 --> 01:35:50.600 as long as he shows up that we should be 1805 01:35:50.640 --> 01:35:54.399 cooking with gas with George Pickens in fantasy drafts this 1806 01:35:54.520 --> 01:35:56.920 year for sure, very excited to see what Dallas does 1807 01:35:56.960 --> 01:35:59.920 this year, especially on offense. They look like they are 1808 01:36:00.039 --> 01:36:03.960 loaded up once again for a putting up a lot 1809 01:36:04.000 --> 01:36:06.319 of points, chewing up a lot of yartage. Let's take 1810 01:36:06.399 --> 01:36:10.039 our final break here on FFPC Insider Access. When we 1811 01:36:10.159 --> 01:36:12.720 come back, let's break down Steph's draft that she did. 1812 01:36:12.920 --> 01:36:17.159 Steph one, was this the Women's Best Ball Tournament presented 1813 01:36:17.199 --> 01:36:19.239 by Fantasy and Frames? How was that three weeks ago? 1814 01:36:19.319 --> 01:36:19.920 Four weeks ago? 1815 01:36:21.319 --> 01:36:23.119 It was a while. I think it was in the 1816 01:36:23.199 --> 01:36:24.399 March and of March. 1817 01:36:24.520 --> 01:36:26.760 Oh yeah, well you're right, March thirtieth. I'm just seeing 1818 01:36:26.760 --> 01:36:28.720 that now. Okay, So I want to break that down. 1819 01:36:29.279 --> 01:36:32.880 Obviously ADPs have changed, but Steph's convictions in her picks 1820 01:36:33.119 --> 01:36:37.319 have not, or have they. We'll talk about her. We'll 1821 01:36:37.359 --> 01:36:40.319 figure out how she feels about our team now that 1822 01:36:40.439 --> 01:36:42.800 we are a month and a half removed from it. 1823 01:36:43.159 --> 01:36:46.920 At Steph Miller fifty seven from Legendary Upside and Ship Chasing, 1824 01:36:47.159 --> 01:36:50.640 you're watching FFPC Insider Access.

It's all at my 1856 01:39:35.800 --> 01:39:39.279 FFPC dot com, my FFPC dot com. We go back 1857 01:39:39.680 --> 01:39:42.439 to the co host with the most miss Steph Miller, 1858 01:39:42.720 --> 01:39:45.720 joining us tonight on behalf of legendary Upside and Hip 1859 01:39:45.840 --> 01:39:50.119 Chasing at Steph Miller fifty seven. So you had participated 1860 01:39:50.199 --> 01:39:53.359 and I believe you've done this before the Fantasy and 1861 01:39:53.479 --> 01:39:57.760 Frames Women's Best Ball tournament that the FFPC hosted. Stacey 1862 01:39:57.800 --> 01:40:01.039 Perez puts this together every single year. I jumped on 1863 01:40:01.159 --> 01:40:04.079 the stream when you were drafting on March thirtieth. We 1864 01:40:04.199 --> 01:40:06.560 chopped it up with Stacy. Had a lot of fun. 1865 01:40:07.159 --> 01:40:09.720 You were drafting out of the ten spot in this 1866 01:40:09.920 --> 01:40:12.800 Best Ball Slim draft. So you're looking at twenty rounds, 1867 01:40:12.880 --> 01:40:15.600 no kickers, no defenses, And I do want to focus 1868 01:40:15.680 --> 01:40:17.800 in on a few of your picks here. The first 1869 01:40:17.880 --> 01:40:20.520 one we'll kick it off with was James Cook at 1870 01:40:20.560 --> 01:40:23.359 the one ten. You go with Cook in the first round, 1871 01:40:23.880 --> 01:40:26.760 And I know there was a lot of people for 1872 01:40:26.880 --> 01:40:29.960 the last two years saying that regression was coming for 1873 01:40:30.079 --> 01:40:33.479 James Cook, and it really hasn't. Should we just expect 1874 01:40:33.520 --> 01:40:36.199 that this is who James Cook is, Like, he's going 1875 01:40:36.279 --> 01:40:39.520 to put up numbers even though Josh Allen Vulture's touchdowns 1876 01:40:39.520 --> 01:40:42.520 from him, even though he's not the most prolific pass catcher, 1877 01:40:42.920 --> 01:40:44.640 led the league in rushing last year. I don't know 1878 01:40:44.640 --> 01:40:46.920 if he leads the league in rushing again, but certainly 1879 01:40:46.960 --> 01:40:49.359 a player that you thought was well worth the one 1880 01:40:49.479 --> 01:40:50.239 ten here stuff. 1881 01:40:51.199 --> 01:40:53.439 I mean, the Bills offense is putting up a lot 1882 01:40:53.479 --> 01:40:58.119 of points. Like you say, he's been himbo, you know 1883 01:40:58.319 --> 01:41:01.119 for a couple of years now. You keep everybody keeps 1884 01:41:01.119 --> 01:41:02.760 saying you can't do it, and he's been doing it. 1885 01:41:04.079 --> 01:41:06.279 Another team, I mean, yeah, they got DJ Moore, but 1886 01:41:06.399 --> 01:41:09.399 they didn't draft anybody else. They definitely didn't draft another 1887 01:41:09.479 --> 01:41:12.720 running back. Got the guys behind him, you know, have 1888 01:41:12.840 --> 01:41:16.199 their roles, But yeah, I think that James Cook again 1889 01:41:16.399 --> 01:41:20.039 could definitely be a big part of what they're doing. 1890 01:41:20.239 --> 01:41:22.600 And Josh needs to throw the ball to somebody. 1891 01:41:25.800 --> 01:41:28.560 You you in the third round, you go with Travis Etchien, 1892 01:41:28.640 --> 01:41:32.720 and I think what's interesting about this Maybe you feel 1893 01:41:32.760 --> 01:41:35.199 the same way. But knowing I mean, like knowing what 1894 01:41:35.279 --> 01:41:38.960 we know about Kamara now and knowing that, yeah, he's 1895 01:41:38.960 --> 01:41:41.439 probably gonna be on the team this year. He might 1896 01:41:41.520 --> 01:41:45.000 steal some pass catching work on third down from Etchien. 1897 01:41:45.479 --> 01:41:47.479 If you had to do it over again, would you 1898 01:41:47.600 --> 01:41:51.880 have still taken Etchien? There you're looking at Trevian Henderson 1899 01:41:51.920 --> 01:41:54.960 went after him, Skataboo, Bucky Irving, bres Hall, Javonte Williams. 1900 01:41:55.239 --> 01:41:57.319 Would you have taken any of those players instead of 1901 01:41:57.359 --> 01:41:59.439 Etchian or or do you still feel really confident in 1902 01:41:59.560 --> 01:42:00.319 that pick right now? 1903 01:42:01.600 --> 01:42:04.720 I think I still like Etchen over those guys right now. 1904 01:42:05.279 --> 01:42:07.960 Even I mean, Kamara did not look very good and 1905 01:42:08.039 --> 01:42:11.119 there's still some weirdness going on there. There's still a 1906 01:42:11.239 --> 01:42:14.359 chance that he may not end up being on the roster. 1907 01:42:14.439 --> 01:42:20.479 I believe there's still some undecided things. I think if 1908 01:42:20.800 --> 01:42:24.720 he probably retires, if he's not because he said, you know, see, 1909 01:42:25.039 --> 01:42:28.319 so we'll see and again there's something else. There's not 1910 01:42:28.359 --> 01:42:31.560 a lot behind him, nothing's been proven, so I think 1911 01:42:31.600 --> 01:42:33.000 he's going to see a good role. And I'm pretty 1912 01:42:33.000 --> 01:42:35.000 excited for that offense in general. I think they can 1913 01:42:35.119 --> 01:42:35.960 put up some points. 1914 01:42:36.560 --> 01:42:38.600 Yeah, you know, that's the other thing to consider too. 1915 01:42:38.680 --> 01:42:40.680 I mean, like, maybe if the Saints do take a 1916 01:42:40.720 --> 01:42:43.319 step forward as an offense this year, and you mentioned 1917 01:42:43.359 --> 01:42:45.560 that in the first hour of the show, how much 1918 01:42:45.640 --> 01:42:49.239 klim Moore loves to pass and he runs so many 1919 01:42:49.359 --> 01:42:52.600 plays like they play at a very fast pay maybe 1920 01:42:52.920 --> 01:42:54.640 if they do take a step forward, they are out 1921 01:42:54.640 --> 01:42:57.319 of the field longer. Then you know, camera can still 1922 01:42:57.359 --> 01:42:59.520 be good and at end can still pay off that 1923 01:42:59.640 --> 01:43:03.479 late round pick, you know for fantasy players this year. 1924 01:43:03.760 --> 01:43:06.880 Just curious looking it up right now. If we look 1925 01:43:06.920 --> 01:43:10.239 at the big Gorilla, which is not best ball by 1926 01:43:10.239 --> 01:43:13.600 the way, this is managed leagues, is running back eighteen 1927 01:43:14.159 --> 01:43:16.960 at the three ten, So like same spot that you 1928 01:43:17.079 --> 01:43:19.880 grabbed him back in March, that's where he's going again. 1929 01:43:19.960 --> 01:43:23.640 Here we go to another running back stuff on this roster, 1930 01:43:23.960 --> 01:43:26.640 and I feel like I'm giving short tript to the 1931 01:43:26.760 --> 01:43:31.680 Jacksonville running game on this show. And my other show 1932 01:43:31.760 --> 01:43:33.199 is over the course of the last month or so, 1933 01:43:33.279 --> 01:43:35.640 because I think this is one that's important to figure out. 1934 01:43:36.000 --> 01:43:39.039 The Jaguars look like an off an up and coming offense. 1935 01:43:39.079 --> 01:43:41.359 We know Travis Hunter now is probably gonna be playing 1936 01:43:41.359 --> 01:43:44.399 at least some offense this year. Receiver room looks stacked 1937 01:43:44.520 --> 01:43:48.880 with Thomas, with Washington, with Myers. You have Kate Otton 1938 01:43:48.960 --> 01:43:51.520 on that team. Are not Brenton Strange on that team? 1939 01:43:51.760 --> 01:43:54.239 I believe they drafted Tanner Coozio, who I really like 1940 01:43:54.840 --> 01:43:56.960 as a pass catching tight end as well. And then 1941 01:43:57.000 --> 01:44:04.319 obviously Sunshine himself. Ronnie James Bass, uh Ronnie Bass, not 1942 01:44:04.399 --> 01:44:08.039 Ronnie James Bass, Ronnie Bass. Trevor Lawrence is the quarterback there. 1943 01:44:08.399 --> 01:44:11.119 So you look at this offense here, well, what's missing, 1944 01:44:12.279 --> 01:44:16.079 the nebulous situation in the backfield is probably what needs 1945 01:44:16.119 --> 01:44:19.359 to be attacked. Achel Tuton is there, Leaquin Allen is 1946 01:44:19.399 --> 01:44:21.279 probably need to catch enough passes just to come up 1947 01:44:21.279 --> 01:44:23.720 the works a little bit more. And then Chris Rodriguez. 1948 01:44:23.960 --> 01:44:27.119 I can't remember at what point Rodriguez signed. I don't 1949 01:44:27.159 --> 01:44:31.000 know if he was on Jacksonville at that time, but 1950 01:44:31.399 --> 01:44:33.720 I want to get your thoughts on the Teuton pick. 1951 01:44:34.199 --> 01:44:38.600 When you look at this backfield going forward, how confident 1952 01:44:38.680 --> 01:44:41.880 do you feel on Teuton getting you know, at least 1953 01:44:41.920 --> 01:44:44.840 the majority of the workload, majority could be fifty one percent, 1954 01:44:45.239 --> 01:44:49.159 but just kind of I want to know what you 1955 01:44:49.359 --> 01:44:52.920 think about the volume that Tuton is going to get 1956 01:44:53.119 --> 01:44:54.840 in twenty twenty six with Jacksonville. 1957 01:44:55.840 --> 01:44:57.800 I mean, I think it's going to pretty much be 1958 01:44:58.000 --> 01:45:00.279 their guy. I think Rodriguez is going to have But 1959 01:45:00.359 --> 01:45:02.520 I mean, come on, when we were looking at free 1960 01:45:02.560 --> 01:45:04.960 agents of guys that could be signed and thinking of 1961 01:45:05.079 --> 01:45:07.600 who we would be the most scared of as threats, 1962 01:45:07.800 --> 01:45:09.760 nobody was saying Chris Rodriguez was going to be a 1963 01:45:09.840 --> 01:45:12.079 guy they would all of a sudden be threatened by, 1964 01:45:12.239 --> 01:45:15.520 and not like he was cut by the commanders before 1965 01:45:15.640 --> 01:45:18.640 I think twice and then re signed. Like I mean, yeah, 1966 01:45:18.720 --> 01:45:20.640 he had a role for them at some point, but 1967 01:45:20.960 --> 01:45:23.600 that was just because I think they were just trying 1968 01:45:23.680 --> 01:45:26.960 to find something. I mean, he was okay, but he's 1969 01:45:27.039 --> 01:45:29.600 not a great talent. I mean, Tuton was an explosive athlete. 1970 01:45:29.640 --> 01:45:32.199 They spent the draft capital on him. I mean they 1971 01:45:32.279 --> 01:45:35.239 obviously they got rid of Etienne or however you say 1972 01:45:35.279 --> 01:45:38.159 his new name. I mean they want to make him 1973 01:45:38.520 --> 01:45:41.560 the center. I mean, they obviously cared to. They showed 1974 01:45:41.600 --> 01:45:44.239 it again. He survived the draft. This was before the draft. 1975 01:45:44.479 --> 01:45:46.159 That was the scariest thing is they were saying that 1976 01:45:46.239 --> 01:45:48.399 they liked their backfield and they liked these guys, and 1977 01:45:48.479 --> 01:45:50.760 then they showed that they did. So, I mean, it 1978 01:45:50.880 --> 01:45:53.600 seems like they are wanting to take that step forward 1979 01:45:53.720 --> 01:45:57.119 with him as you know, their main running back. And 1980 01:45:57.199 --> 01:45:59.199 I think that even as time goes on, if they 1981 01:45:59.479 --> 01:46:02.600 start with you know, see Rod with a little bit 1982 01:46:02.640 --> 01:46:05.199 of a role that you know, he's gonna be the 1983 01:46:05.239 --> 01:46:08.840 more talented, explosive guy, and he's gonna, you know, end 1984 01:46:08.960 --> 01:46:15.399 up being definitely the lead back. Maybe it's very rare 1985 01:46:15.479 --> 01:46:17.359 that we have, like anybody that's one hundred percent of 1986 01:46:17.439 --> 01:46:19.239 the work or anything. So it's like you're always gonna 1987 01:46:19.239 --> 01:46:22.039 have someone of a split. But I'm pretty confident that 1988 01:46:23.079 --> 01:46:24.920 the Jags are gonna be a pretty fun offense. So 1989 01:46:26.159 --> 01:46:28.359 I felt good about this pick. The only thing I'll 1990 01:46:28.399 --> 01:46:31.800 say is I kind of wish looking back structurally, that 1991 01:46:32.079 --> 01:46:35.079 maybe I had done like a tight end here or something. 1992 01:46:35.399 --> 01:46:38.319 Uh there was I was, I was I remember this 1993 01:46:38.399 --> 01:46:40.720 spot going between him and like Kyle Pitts, and I 1994 01:46:40.880 --> 01:46:44.520 kind of think that maybe I should have switched it 1995 01:46:44.680 --> 01:46:46.680 in my running backs. I might have been able to 1996 01:46:46.920 --> 01:46:48.359 who knows, it would have changed the whole rest of 1997 01:46:48.359 --> 01:46:50.720 the draft. But that was something afterwards that I kind 1998 01:46:50.720 --> 01:46:53.600 of like mulled over with the tight end premium aspect, 1999 01:46:53.800 --> 01:46:56.520 thinking of maybe maybe I could have been a little 2000 01:46:56.520 --> 01:46:57.000 more patient. 2001 01:46:58.039 --> 01:47:02.399 Yeah, I mean maybe, I mean you could have. I'm 2002 01:47:02.439 --> 01:47:06.119 looking at the draft board right now, could have. I mean, 2003 01:47:06.239 --> 01:47:08.239 you're looking at Okay, So let's say you take Pits 2004 01:47:08.319 --> 01:47:10.840 there and then you replaced the Kittle pick, which we'll 2005 01:47:10.840 --> 01:47:13.119 talk about in a second. You replaced Kittle in the 2006 01:47:13.159 --> 01:47:17.319 eighth round, you could add Pollard Quorum Lgier, which would 2007 01:47:17.359 --> 01:47:20.239 would was not Look it's not looking good now, you know, 2008 01:47:20.399 --> 01:47:24.560 for Lgier in the eighth round, Dobbins Jendarian Price, which 2009 01:47:24.600 --> 01:47:26.520 would have been a good pick. But we didn't know, 2010 01:47:26.920 --> 01:47:29.279 you know, about where he was going to land in Seattle, 2011 01:47:29.439 --> 01:47:33.039 So I don't know hindsight's twenty twenty. But this Kittle 2012 01:47:33.079 --> 01:47:35.079 pick we have to talk about here because you were 2013 01:47:35.520 --> 01:47:40.880 I believe, uh no, maybe you weren't, but it's close. 2014 01:47:41.399 --> 01:47:44.239 The last team to take a tight end certainly this 2015 01:47:44.479 --> 01:47:46.920 was your first tight end that you had drafted, and 2016 01:47:47.199 --> 01:47:49.520 what its Scott Bared for Fantasy Points always says upside 2017 01:47:49.560 --> 01:47:53.199 wins championships. Right, there is upside here with Kittle at 2018 01:47:53.279 --> 01:47:57.000 the twelf tight end drafted here the latest he's gone 2019 01:47:57.119 --> 01:48:00.760 probably you know, since he became George Kittle, you get 2020 01:48:00.840 --> 01:48:02.319 him in the eighth round here as your number one 2021 01:48:02.399 --> 01:48:06.399 tight end. How many I don't think he's gonna be 2022 01:48:06.439 --> 01:48:09.279 ready week one. I know that there's there's some positivity 2023 01:48:09.359 --> 01:48:12.039 saying that that that's gonna happen. When do you think 2024 01:48:12.119 --> 01:48:16.000 he comes back? And and and I'll say, let me 2025 01:48:16.079 --> 01:48:19.359 preface this by by saying, when we talked about neighbors, 2026 01:48:19.840 --> 01:48:24.039 I think I think neighbors coming off in a cl 2027 01:48:24.359 --> 01:48:29.000 with the type of explosive prerequisite that it takes to 2028 01:48:29.039 --> 01:48:32.039 play his position, well, I think I'm more concerned about 2029 01:48:32.079 --> 01:48:34.680 him coming off in a cl rather than George Kittle 2030 01:48:34.760 --> 01:48:38.319 coming off a torn achilles or whatever it is, right, 2031 01:48:38.359 --> 01:48:40.680 because I think Kittle, I don't want to say he 2032 01:48:40.760 --> 01:48:44.079 can fake it more like you know, coming off this injury, 2033 01:48:44.239 --> 01:48:47.600 but I do think he's crafty enough to still be 2034 01:48:47.720 --> 01:48:50.159 fantasy relevant even if he's not at one hundred percent. 2035 01:48:50.239 --> 01:48:52.680 I'm less concerned about his injury, especially with the draft 2036 01:48:52.720 --> 01:48:55.439 capital too, when you talk about him versus neighbors. But 2037 01:48:55.600 --> 01:48:57.800 how many games do you think Kittle plays this year 2038 01:48:58.199 --> 01:49:00.239 and how close to one hundred percent do you think 2039 01:49:00.279 --> 01:49:02.079 he will be in twenty twenty six. 2040 01:49:03.600 --> 01:49:05.680 I don't know. It's a really tough thing. It's like 2041 01:49:05.800 --> 01:49:09.720 we've come a long way with Achilles injuries. Like Achilles, 2042 01:49:09.760 --> 01:49:13.640 actually they're now they're coming back sooner than ACL's Usually 2043 01:49:13.960 --> 01:49:16.760 the recovery timeline is sooner. So I mean, yeah, he 2044 01:49:16.840 --> 01:49:20.720 may not be ready week one, hopefully, you know, within 2045 01:49:20.800 --> 01:49:23.800 the first four weeks. I'd love to see him out 2046 01:49:23.840 --> 01:49:27.760 there again. Yeah, it's a little bit different than a 2047 01:49:27.880 --> 01:49:31.159 running back. I do think that Kittle is a guy 2048 01:49:31.399 --> 01:49:33.600 that does have his head on straight and does know 2049 01:49:33.720 --> 01:49:35.800 how to handle it and is not scared of anything, 2050 01:49:36.000 --> 01:49:38.760 and I get to see him figuring it out. I 2051 01:49:38.840 --> 01:49:41.479 don't know. He's an older guy though, so that's always 2052 01:49:41.479 --> 01:49:45.039 a little bit of a concern. But again, this is 2053 01:49:45.159 --> 01:49:46.680 just one of those things of how they use him 2054 01:49:46.680 --> 01:49:48.600 in the offense. At that point in the draft, it's 2055 01:49:48.640 --> 01:49:50.920 like you have to take those shots. It's like I 2056 01:49:51.159 --> 01:49:54.199 obviously pushed the position, and it was like, you know what, 2057 01:49:54.640 --> 01:49:56.600 this is one of those things. It's like, if it 2058 01:49:56.680 --> 01:50:00.319 works out, it could definitely win it. And if not, 2059 01:50:00.560 --> 01:50:04.119 then yeah, you know what, this was fun, but it 2060 01:50:04.239 --> 01:50:07.039 might not be not might not be the thing. I 2061 01:50:07.119 --> 01:50:10.800 don't know, like what percentage, because like he may never 2062 01:50:10.840 --> 01:50:12.680 get back to one hundred percent because of his agent 2063 01:50:12.680 --> 01:50:14.479 and stuff. So I mean we may never see him. 2064 01:50:15.119 --> 01:50:18.359 It may only be like he might only maximumally be 2065 01:50:18.560 --> 01:50:20.760 seventy five eighty percent of what he was, you know 2066 01:50:20.960 --> 01:50:22.760 if that and that might be a high end. 2067 01:50:23.960 --> 01:50:30.119 Yeah, that's great. You know you also added uh and 2068 01:50:30.399 --> 01:50:32.279 and will I don't I don't know. I don't think 2069 01:50:32.319 --> 01:50:34.560 I know we will We'll get to Chiggo kon Quin 2070 01:50:34.640 --> 01:50:37.760 a little bit. I said, oh, you could have had JK. 2071 01:50:37.960 --> 01:50:40.680 Dobbins instead of A Kiddle. You got Dobbins anyway. You 2072 01:50:40.800 --> 01:50:44.039 got Dobbins pick after uh George Kittle in this draft. 2073 01:50:44.920 --> 01:50:47.760 And this was he I believe he was with Denver 2074 01:50:47.880 --> 01:50:50.000 at the time. I think he was already signed. They 2075 01:50:50.079 --> 01:50:53.920 gave him some decent money. I'm not necessarily concerned with 2076 01:50:54.039 --> 01:50:57.640 Jonah Coleman from a redraft standpoint. This year, I think 2077 01:50:57.840 --> 01:51:00.439 Dobbin's biggest enemy this year is not our Harvey. I 2078 01:51:00.479 --> 01:51:03.119 think it's JK. Dobbins, And as long as he's out there, 2079 01:51:03.439 --> 01:51:05.960 he should have a really good season for Denver. I 2080 01:51:06.119 --> 01:51:08.359 just questioned how many games he plays, But certainly it's 2081 01:51:08.359 --> 01:51:10.960 Steph in the ninth round. Who cares. You know, whatever 2082 01:51:11.000 --> 01:51:13.359 you get from him, you're loving it as your number 2083 01:51:13.520 --> 01:51:14.840 four running back on the squad. 2084 01:51:16.199 --> 01:51:19.000 Yeah, I mean definitely, as long as he's healthy, I 2085 01:51:19.039 --> 01:51:21.239 think he's going to produce. It's just how long he 2086 01:51:21.319 --> 01:51:23.680 stays healthy too. It's his sister. 2087 01:51:24.359 --> 01:51:27.359 What do you make of Chiga Conco now in Washington, 2088 01:51:27.680 --> 01:51:31.319 moves on from Tennessee and he's at a Washington team 2089 01:51:31.359 --> 01:51:34.439 that you know, maybe they add Ayuk, maybe they don't. 2090 01:51:34.560 --> 01:51:37.359 Maybe they add Keenan Allen or Steph Diggs or somebody 2091 01:51:37.520 --> 01:51:39.439 like that. Maybe they don't. I don't know. But as 2092 01:51:39.479 --> 01:51:42.319 it stands right now, it's Terry McLaurin, it's the rookie 2093 01:51:42.359 --> 01:51:47.159 Antonio williams Uh, It's it's the quasi and maybe almost 2094 01:51:47.239 --> 01:51:50.359 full on Buss Treylon Burks on this team. There is 2095 01:51:50.439 --> 01:51:52.840 a huge opportunity for Conco. Here's somebody who was saying 2096 01:51:52.840 --> 01:51:55.920 in the YouTube chat on this show, or maybe he's 2097 01:51:55.960 --> 01:51:58.399 one other show like a month or so ago. You know, 2098 01:51:58.640 --> 01:52:01.079 a conco still hasn't shown up in Tennessee. Why should 2099 01:52:01.119 --> 01:52:04.199 we believe he shows out in Washington? Why should we 2100 01:52:04.520 --> 01:52:07.279 believe he breaks out? And maybe he doesn't break up 2101 01:52:07.319 --> 01:52:10.239 but stuff, Maybe he doesn't have to given the volume 2102 01:52:10.279 --> 01:52:12.760 that he might see in Washington this year, he could 2103 01:52:12.800 --> 01:52:14.640 be the number two option on this offense. 2104 01:52:15.680 --> 01:52:18.079 Yeah, I don't think he has to be like a 2105 01:52:18.239 --> 01:52:20.479 huge breakout like you say, it's like they're gonna get 2106 01:52:20.560 --> 01:52:22.560 in the ball. It's like he could just be a 2107 01:52:22.680 --> 01:52:25.279 role player. They could use, you know, big tie that 2108 01:52:25.399 --> 01:52:27.399 in the end zone. You know, he could just be 2109 01:52:27.520 --> 01:52:31.600 that red zone threat. I mean we're getting you know here. 2110 01:52:31.680 --> 01:52:34.319 It's just like there's nobody else he's competing with for 2111 01:52:34.520 --> 01:52:36.840 that role. So they're going to and you know, I 2112 01:52:36.920 --> 01:52:40.119 think also Washington should still be an upgrade. I mean, 2113 01:52:40.319 --> 01:52:43.319 Jayden Daniels is going to be an upgrade for him. 2114 01:52:43.399 --> 01:52:47.479 So like the whole scheme could just be better. And 2115 01:52:47.960 --> 01:52:51.079 I think that he's somebody again where there's enough of 2116 01:52:51.159 --> 01:52:54.600 a mystery box aspect to take that there could be 2117 01:52:54.800 --> 01:52:57.520 a hitted upside there for where we're taking him in 2118 01:52:57.560 --> 01:53:00.359 the draft, and those are the type of players take 2119 01:53:00.359 --> 01:53:02.880 a swing on here. You can't win these tournaments by 2120 01:53:02.960 --> 01:53:03.560 playing it safe. 2121 01:53:04.079 --> 01:53:07.720 No, no, you have to take some chances. I'm looking 2122 01:53:07.760 --> 01:53:09.479 at some of the other players you drafted, someone we 2123 01:53:09.560 --> 01:53:12.880 talked about already, Kyler Murray, you drafted on this team, 2124 01:53:13.159 --> 01:53:15.359 Xavier Worthy, you drafted on this team. And then a 2125 01:53:15.439 --> 01:53:17.600 player I thought was a really good value for you, 2126 01:53:18.079 --> 01:53:21.239 the fifty sixth wide receiver chosen in this draft. He 2127 01:53:21.319 --> 01:53:23.920 doesn't go off the board until the early fourteenth round. 2128 01:53:23.960 --> 01:53:27.279 You get Jayden Reid, which normally is a player I avoid. 2129 01:53:27.399 --> 01:53:30.319 But now I look at what the Packers did in 2130 01:53:30.399 --> 01:53:32.479 the offseason, or perhaps what they didn't do. They lost 2131 01:53:32.600 --> 01:53:38.520 Romeo Dops, they traded don Tavian Wicks, They didn't draft 2132 01:53:38.640 --> 01:53:41.760 any receivers in the draft. They didn't draft any skill 2133 01:53:41.840 --> 01:53:45.560 position players in the draft. They didn't sign anybody significant. 2134 01:53:45.560 --> 01:53:47.399 I know sky Moore is on the team, but I 2135 01:53:47.439 --> 01:53:50.479 don't think he's striking fear into the hearts of any 2136 01:53:50.560 --> 01:53:53.960 Jade Reid owners out there. This is a more concentrated 2137 01:53:54.000 --> 01:53:57.760 Packers offense this year, passing game. So yeah, Craft and 2138 01:53:57.760 --> 01:54:00.279 Watson are going to get theirs. But if Golden doesn't 2139 01:54:00.319 --> 01:54:02.920 step up, and maybe even if he does, maybe Jayden 2140 01:54:02.920 --> 01:54:05.000 Reed has a really nice bounce back. He doesn't play 2141 01:54:05.039 --> 01:54:07.159 in two wide receiver sets, which I know hurts him, 2142 01:54:07.319 --> 01:54:09.079 but it seems like he does. He still does a 2143 01:54:09.119 --> 01:54:11.600 lot of damage despite the limited snaps and you get 2144 01:54:11.680 --> 01:54:12.960 him in round fourteen stuff. 2145 01:54:13.079 --> 01:54:16.439 Nice work, Yeah, because he's been one of the biggest risers, 2146 01:54:16.680 --> 01:54:19.920 I mean out there, so people after the draft have 2147 01:54:20.079 --> 01:54:24.000 been pretty doffy on him. So yeah, that definitely feels good. 2148 01:54:25.439 --> 01:54:29.119 You know what's funny is Jerry Judy you draft in 2149 01:54:29.199 --> 01:54:32.760 the seventeenth round. At the time you drafted Judy, the 2150 01:54:32.840 --> 01:54:36.279 Browns did not have Casey Concepcion, they did not have 2151 01:54:36.520 --> 01:54:39.840 Denzel Boston. And quite frankly, if we look at so 2152 01:54:40.319 --> 01:54:43.520 now they add those players, right, adds those players, and 2153 01:54:43.600 --> 01:54:46.239 now you look at Jerry Judy's ADP in the big 2154 01:54:46.279 --> 01:54:50.359 gorilla wide receiver seventy one at the seventeen oh six 2155 01:54:50.920 --> 01:54:54.039 hasn't moved anywhere, which that's crazy, which is wild to 2156 01:54:54.119 --> 01:54:57.760 me because I think and I who was it, was 2157 01:54:57.840 --> 01:55:00.800 it Monkin or somebody from Cleveland was saying like they 2158 01:55:00.880 --> 01:55:02.439 want to get him back to where he can be 2159 01:55:02.479 --> 01:55:04.760 the number one wide receiver on this team. It wasn't 2160 01:55:04.800 --> 01:55:07.000 all that long ago that he had a big time 2161 01:55:07.119 --> 01:55:10.000 twenty twenty four season where we're all falling all over 2162 01:55:10.039 --> 01:55:12.520 ourselves the draft and the following year. Now we know 2163 01:55:12.640 --> 01:55:15.159 the investment Cleveland made in the rookies here, but they 2164 01:55:15.199 --> 01:55:17.840 are rookies. So there is something to be said for 2165 01:55:17.960 --> 01:55:20.600 Jerry Judy as being the number one wide receiver that 2166 01:55:20.760 --> 01:55:22.520 perhaps you got in the seventeenth round. 2167 01:55:23.760 --> 01:55:26.279 I mean, I hope so. But I will tell you 2168 01:55:26.439 --> 01:55:29.119 that if this was a post draft, I would not 2169 01:55:29.279 --> 01:55:33.800 have taken you. 2170 01:55:33.960 --> 01:55:37.640 Take Calvin Ridley too the round after that, and that's 2171 01:55:37.640 --> 01:55:41.199 another player that yeah, they added Carnel Tait. But with 2172 01:55:41.359 --> 01:55:43.840 this being best ball and Ridley is sort of a 2173 01:55:43.880 --> 01:55:46.079 lost season last year, not because of under production, but 2174 01:55:46.439 --> 01:55:48.439 he was hurt, you know. And now he comes back 2175 01:55:48.560 --> 01:55:51.479 this year and they're saying all the right things. I think. 2176 01:55:51.600 --> 01:55:54.960 And I know Steve Irgalos, who is in the YouTube 2177 01:55:55.039 --> 01:55:58.960 chat earlier, he was taking Ridley quite a bit late 2178 01:55:59.279 --> 01:56:00.439 in a lot of drafts. I don't know if he 2179 01:56:00.479 --> 01:56:04.000 still is, but he definitely has his back his late 2180 01:56:04.119 --> 01:56:07.199 round bags pack. At least for Calvin Ridley. This is 2181 01:56:07.239 --> 01:56:09.960 another player too. We've seen him do it before, Steph. 2182 01:56:10.439 --> 01:56:12.880 And you know, certainly there's a world of possibilities on 2183 01:56:13.000 --> 01:56:16.239 this Tennessee team to see how they go and you know, 2184 01:56:16.479 --> 01:56:18.920 changing roles and what have you. I don't know, I 2185 01:56:19.319 --> 01:56:22.079 think you can do a lot worse than Calvin Ridley 2186 01:56:22.119 --> 01:56:22.920 in the eighteenth round. 2187 01:56:24.239 --> 01:56:27.439 Yeah, I mean it felt like at the time some 2188 01:56:27.560 --> 01:56:30.600 of these picks were also structural. I did take most 2189 01:56:30.640 --> 01:56:32.560 of my receivers if you look at were kind of 2190 01:56:32.680 --> 01:56:34.800 like really ceiling type guys. 2191 01:56:34.920 --> 01:56:35.039 You know. 2192 01:56:35.159 --> 01:56:37.640 I had Worthy, I had Jmo, I had Tea, So 2193 01:56:37.960 --> 01:56:40.239 I was trying to build in a little bit of 2194 01:56:40.359 --> 01:56:43.119 some floor even as much as I could late, I 2195 01:56:43.199 --> 01:56:45.279 didn't need the big upside swings because I felt like 2196 01:56:45.319 --> 01:56:48.520 I took a lot of those early, so a couple 2197 01:56:48.560 --> 01:56:50.399 of them didn't really you know, pan out as much 2198 01:56:50.560 --> 01:56:54.079 like you know, obviously them taking a receiver overall at 2199 01:56:54.159 --> 01:56:57.760 four it was not what I expected when I drafted, really, 2200 01:56:57.880 --> 01:57:00.159 But at the same time, he's probably still the ID 2201 01:57:00.199 --> 01:57:02.960 receiver for three, you know, with him and Wandlle how 2202 01:57:03.000 --> 01:57:05.279 do you But I don't know about the volume. 2203 01:57:05.159 --> 01:57:08.239 Is well, the volume, the volume to me like it 2204 01:57:08.560 --> 01:57:10.680 and for best ball. I mean, yeah, and I know, 2205 01:57:10.840 --> 01:57:13.000 honestly this is like one of your floor guys or whatever, 2206 01:57:13.800 --> 01:57:16.119 but eighteenth round, I mean, just like whatever you get 2207 01:57:16.199 --> 01:57:19.000 from him at this point when you look at this team, 2208 01:57:19.720 --> 01:57:21.840 when you looked at this team, I should say, on 2209 01:57:22.000 --> 01:57:24.159 March thirtieth, when the draft is done, and now you 2210 01:57:24.239 --> 01:57:26.119 look back on it here in mid mid May, how 2211 01:57:26.159 --> 01:57:28.600 do you feel about the squad that you put together. 2212 01:57:29.520 --> 01:57:31.960 I mean, I think it aged pretty well. Honestly, the 2213 01:57:32.359 --> 01:57:34.920 biggest picks that we just talked about were those two 2214 01:57:35.000 --> 01:57:37.439 that seemed to probably age to the worst. And they're 2215 01:57:37.479 --> 01:57:40.479 not terrible. There's still a world like you say that, like, yeah, 2216 01:57:40.560 --> 01:57:45.800 Judy could still be the wide receiver one. Bridley went 2217 01:57:45.840 --> 01:57:48.520 from what the two to the three, So it's probably 2218 01:57:48.600 --> 01:57:52.760 not anything else. And I got some value. I think 2219 01:57:52.840 --> 01:57:55.079 I found a few guys are advisers. I did pick 2220 01:57:55.680 --> 01:57:57.880 late the right rookie, I believe. 2221 01:57:58.960 --> 01:57:59.159 Yeah. 2222 01:57:59.199 --> 01:58:01.800 I took Bernard my last pick last year. He got 2223 01:58:02.039 --> 01:58:04.199 he got the decent draft capital. He's one of the 2224 01:58:04.279 --> 01:58:06.279 bigger risers, you know, because there was a lot of 2225 01:58:08.159 --> 01:58:10.560 you know, rookies that turned out to be a big 2226 01:58:10.640 --> 01:58:12.720 fat nothings. You know, that's one of the bests you take, 2227 01:58:12.840 --> 01:58:15.319 so it felt fun to hit on that. The only 2228 01:58:15.760 --> 01:58:19.640 one I'd say that naugy I took late. Uh. We 2229 01:58:20.039 --> 01:58:23.560 obviously don't know where he's playing, if he's playing, so 2230 01:58:23.840 --> 01:58:27.920 that one to be decided. But there's still some spots 2231 01:58:27.960 --> 01:58:31.119 you never know. We still could see him get picked up, 2232 01:58:31.319 --> 01:58:34.399 or an injury happened and a team picks him up 2233 01:58:34.439 --> 01:58:36.239 once the season starts. You never know. There's not a 2234 01:58:36.319 --> 01:58:37.680 lot of other running backs out there. 2235 01:58:37.680 --> 01:58:40.239 So yeah, I don't. I look at the running backs 2236 01:58:40.239 --> 01:58:43.199 that went after Harris, and I mean, like I probably 2237 01:58:43.199 --> 01:58:46.079 would have taken Chris Brooks over him, but even Brooks 2238 01:58:46.119 --> 01:58:48.039 that we don't even know if he's the backup in 2239 01:58:48.199 --> 01:58:50.920 Green Bay, you know, so that I don't. I don't 2240 01:58:50.960 --> 01:58:52.560 think I can make a good case like, oh, I 2241 01:58:52.600 --> 01:58:55.640 would have rather had X running back over Naji Harris. Here, 2242 01:58:55.800 --> 01:58:58.560 I think you you're drafting for upside. You clearly you 2243 01:58:58.720 --> 01:59:00.960 had at that point that was your sixth running back. 2244 01:59:01.359 --> 01:59:05.479 You have the the you had Cook, etch In, Touton, 2245 01:59:05.560 --> 01:59:07.880 and Dobbins, which I think are strong as you're going 2246 01:59:07.960 --> 01:59:10.319 to get for top four running backs in this format. 2247 01:59:10.520 --> 01:59:12.760 And then you add Brian Robinson who has the contingent 2248 01:59:12.840 --> 01:59:15.960 upside behind the Jon Robinson and then Harris too. If 2249 01:59:16.000 --> 01:59:18.039 he lands somewhere, he might be the type of guy 2250 01:59:18.079 --> 01:59:22.039 that somebody signs him after week one and then or 2251 01:59:22.520 --> 01:59:24.880 or he falls into being an injury away type guy. 2252 01:59:25.119 --> 01:59:28.560 You never know, baby Seattle, I don't know. This was 2253 01:59:28.600 --> 01:59:31.399 a lot of fun. The two hours flew by Stephanie. 2254 01:59:31.479 --> 01:59:34.840 This is this was great. Remind us again when we 2255 01:59:34.920 --> 01:59:37.279 want to consume more Steph Miller content. I know you're 2256 01:59:37.279 --> 01:59:40.560 grinding it out for legendary upside during the season. Tell 2257 01:59:40.640 --> 01:59:43.279 us what it's going to be like for you until 2258 01:59:43.279 --> 01:59:45.800 the season starts, and then once the NFL season begins, 2259 01:59:46.000 --> 01:59:47.880 what you're going to be doing not only for legendary upside, 2260 01:59:47.880 --> 01:59:48.800 but ship chasing as well. 2261 01:59:50.319 --> 01:59:53.399 Yeah right now, I mean most of that stuff is 2262 01:59:53.439 --> 01:59:55.159 going to probably be in season that is going to 2263 01:59:55.199 --> 01:59:57.680 be kicked off because we're doing the reader athletes and 2264 01:59:57.720 --> 02:00:00.199 stuff for the high stakes. But right now, well, I 2265 02:00:00.279 --> 02:00:03.399 am drafting tons of bestball teams myself. So you will 2266 02:00:03.439 --> 02:00:05.439 find me in the streets, grind in a way, and 2267 02:00:06.399 --> 02:00:09.239 you know, hit me up on Twitter, find me in 2268 02:00:09.279 --> 02:00:12.439 the streets.

Release everybody. 2317 02:02:22.319 --> 02:02:26.039 Thanks to Stephanie Miller. For Stephanie Miller, I've been Eric Balkman. 2318 02:02:26.119 --> 02:02:29.359 This is FFPC insider Access.
