00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,679
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude podcast. I'm your host,

2
00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:25,879
Corey Evans. Thanks for checking out this week's episode. It

3
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,920
is titled ten Burning Questions for OTA's Organized Team Activities.

4
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,320
We're at that portion of the off season program where

5
00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:36,679
Rookie Mini Caamp was underway. We're now approaching even though

6
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:39,560
it's not across the board equal or same time start

7
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,560
OTAs before we know it, training camp will be upon

8
00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:46,600
us preseason not far behind. So I have ten questions

9
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,759
that should be of top priority for us to focus

10
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,960
on that have a major impact on the ripple effects

11
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,759
of Dynasty value in twenty twenty five and probably beyond.

12
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,520

21
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:29,280
All Right, Question number one is can George Pickens coexist

22
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,439
with Cede Lamb.

23
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: Pickens is twenty four. He's been the PPR.

24
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: Wide receiver thirty nine, thirty and forty two with the

25
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:38,640
Steelers from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty four. Those

26
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:43,480
return on value finishes are not parallel to what Pickens

27
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:46,560
can do talent wise, or is even perceived at role

28
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:49,920
wise in the NFL. In other words, the ceiling from

29
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,079
a fantasy end could be far more productive. Even though

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,719
Pickins has had to surpass three catches one thousand, one

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,480
hundred and forty others receiving five touchdowns or one hundred

32
00:01:58,519 --> 00:02:01,239
and six targets in a season. That could change with

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,680
this trade from Pittsburgh to Dallas. Meanwhile, we can't forget

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,519
that Ceedee Lamb has posted four consecutive one thousand yard

35
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:11,159
receiving campaigns or greater. He's the alpha in the room. However,

36
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,400
George Pickens from a fantasy environment standpoint, but now Dak

37
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:18,120
Prescott as his quarterback could finally deliver on those expectations

38
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,759
of being more of a wide receiver two with Spike

39
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,879
Weeks for wide receiver one production, whereas he's been more

40
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:26,840
of a wide receiver three or worse flex as the

41
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,000
thirty nine, thirty and forty second wide out in per

42
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:34,199
season finishes. Dallas has not extended Pickens since trading for him.

43
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:37,039
He's under contract until twenty twenty six, so that rookie

44
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,240
contract will expire. It sounds like the Cowboys want to

45
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:42,800
let Pickens play out that contract. That's more of a

46
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:47,240
long term decision. Regardless the question of Pickens coexisting with Lamb,

47
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,439
my answer is yes, and we should get some indication

48
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,120
of that early on. In OTA's number two is Will

49
00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:55,400
Shipley or AJ Dillon RB two. In Philadelphia, sa Kwon

50
00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:58,560
Barkley is entering his age twenty eight season, accumulated three

51
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,560
hundred and seventy eight regular touches in twenty twenty four alone,

52
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:03,120
not to mention the postseason run.

53
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: Shipley and Dylan figured.

54
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: To compete for Kenneth Gamwell's vacated role, which resulted in

55
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,039
seventy five totes, two ninety on the ground, one score,

56
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,639
sixteen receptions for a buck sixteen last season behind Saquon.

57
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,800
Shipley was quiet as a fourth round rookie last year

58
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:20,080
thirty three eighty two to two point seven yards per

59
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:23,759
rush four grabs thirty five yards, while Dylan missed the

60
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:27,080
entire year because of that lingering neck stinger injury. The

61
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,319
reason why I think solving this RB two conundrument Philadelphia,

62
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,840
Shipley or Dylan is important is because Barkley is at

63
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:37,759
that peak in value in Dynasty and real life purposes,

64
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:40,479
despite as contract extension where the wheels could come off

65
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,960
many points unless he defies age at running back like

66
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:46,840
Derrick Henry has. Barkley has been a screaming tale high

67
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,000
for me, and Dynasty is offseason. In one of my

68
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,680
leagues where I have a share of Barkley, I was

69
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,039
able to pivot off of him to Marvin aers A junior,

70
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:55,520
even though there's more numance than trade itself. If you

71
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,759
have Barkley and your goodtender, it is hard to move

72
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,280
on because you know the production will be there. I

73
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:03,280
have is barglets in your history. The accumulated mileage on

74
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,840
his NFL resume. This screams sell high, get off before

75
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:09,280
the wheels come off the bus type of scenarios. So

76
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,560
take some shots on Shipley or yej Dillon stashed him

77
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,199
and let's see who occupies that Kenneth Gainwell role.

78
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty.

79
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: Five question three, what will Jacksonville's running back rotation B?

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,000
There is no loyalty here to ETN or Bigsb or

81
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,959
even the rookies Tuton LeQuinn Allen because there's a new

82
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:29,639
regime led by GM James Gladstone and head coach Liam Cohen.

83
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,839
ETN Junior's twenty six contract year expires in twenty twenty six.

84
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:36,560
He was the PPR RB thirty five and was arguably

85
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,240
his worst NFL season last year. He looked lost at times, inefficients.

86
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:42,680
Tank Bigsby is twenty three. In August, he was a

87
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,519
ppr RB thirty six behind ETN and at one point

88
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:49,399
Bigsb overtok ETN in usage last season, so they were

89
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,879
neck and neck as RB three candidates. We now enter

90
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,240
Bashall Tooton, fourth round rookie out of Jeunia Tech, who

91
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,279
lit up the combine a speed monster. Liam Cohen did

92
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,879
call out in early practice fumble from Tuton. It's not

93
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,720
the end all be all, but Tuton did have nine

94
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:08,279
career college fumbles or close to double digits, which was

95
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,399
a red flag in his profile. Despite the immense athletic traits.

96
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,160
Tuton is someone to target heavily in the second round

97
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:16,279
KY drafts, with a pure upside tie to Liam Cohen

98
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,079
and what could be a Bucket Irbye role if it

99
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,240
all pans out. Lequin Allen seventh brown out of Syracuse.

100
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,480
Allen was one of my favorite receiving becks who also

101
00:05:24,519 --> 00:05:27,360
has plenty of rushing potential. He reminds me of Rashad

102
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:30,639
White as a taller running back. So if you have Etn,

103
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,680
biggsb Touton or Allen Shares, it remains me seeing what

104
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:36,920
that rotation will be in twenty twenty five. The reason

105
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,720
why I like taking shots on Tuton and Allen is

106
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:42,279
that Etn could be on a different team at twenty

107
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:46,000
twenty six. Bigsby has his limitations in pass pro as

108
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,040
well as fumbling. Not saying that one name will necessarily

109
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:53,000
emerge from this group, but this is situation in a

110
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,720
Conte offense where you want exposure to running backs as

111
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:58,160
a matter of who pans out or who is most valuable,

112
00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:02,000
So rostering all of them what happens isn't a bad idea,

113
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,720
or at least a fewer multiple of Eta Junior Bigsby, Twoton,

114
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,480
Allen we should know in due time who Cohen favors

115
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,519
to utilize. Question number four, Can Marvin Harrison Junior break

116
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:16,160
out as a sophomore? The answer for me is yes

117
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,879
with a capital why twenty three. In August, he went

118
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,000
sixty two eight eighty five, eight touchdowns, fourteen point three

119
00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:24,240
yards per catch, one hundred and sixteen targets as the

120
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,720
PPR wide receiver thirty as a rookie last year?

121
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:30,079
Speaker 2: Was it underwhelming? Sure? Based on him being a.

122
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: Top five pick in real life the one point on

123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,120
one for the most part in rookie drafts, but apples

124
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,639
to apples. The reason why his receiving efforts and stats

125
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,160
look disappointing is because of the historic seasons that Malik

126
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:45,800
Neighbors and Brian Thomas Junior had. Otherwise, sixty two, eight

127
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,959
eighty five and eight for a rookie wide receiver is

128
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:51,439
really good, if not well above average. So if anyone

129
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,600
in your league is down on Harrison Junior does not

130
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,560
believe in the talent, situation or potential swoop in now,

131
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,759
this is the ultimate by low window for Marvin Harris

132
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,000
Junior in Dynasty Now. A second year in Arizona OC's

133
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,480
Drew petsing scheme, which reps are valuable in the offseason

134
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:11,079
to get a rapport with your oc let alone Kyler

135
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,639
Murray so many times last year Kyler and Harrison Junior

136
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,800
were not on the same page.

137
00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: Not to mention the most.

138
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:19,199
Speaker 1: Recent report this past week that Harrison Junior added muscle

139
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,480
this offseason and that should or could help combat the

140
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:25,720
lack of separation skills or ability that Harrison Junior struggled

141
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:27,800
with last season. I am about as all as it

142
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:30,600
can get on Marvin and if you have the opportunity

143
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:33,319
to buy him right now, do so before that window

144
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,079
closes shut. Question five, will Kyra Williams and the Rams

145
00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:39,879
agree on extension? This is a big one because the

146
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:43,319
Rams running back room is interesting. If Kyron missed time

147
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:45,920
or left as a free agent, it does not sound

148
00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:48,560
like it will come to that. Kyrien thinks that in

149
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,360
time there will be a new deal in place. He

150
00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:53,360
is a free agent in twenty twenty six. He turns

151
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,240
twenty five in August. Has been the PPRRB seven and

152
00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:59,000
back to back years twenty three to twenty four in

153
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:02,839
a true rare workhorse roll in today's NFL four and

154
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:05,360
a half yards per rush five hundred and seventy nine

155
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:09,480
career rushes, seventy five catches, twenty six rushing touchdowns, five

156
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:12,680
receiving touchdowns. That's all in thirty eight NFL games played. Sure,

157
00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:16,839
there's durability risk with Kyron, However, the ceiling is top five,

158
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,800
top three at running back. From a fantasy lens, we

159
00:08:19,839 --> 00:08:22,240
have Blake Korum, a former third rounder out of Michigan,

160
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:24,879
and rookie Jarquest Hunter, fourth round pick out of Auburn

161
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,839
this year as competition or change your pace even complementary

162
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:31,560
options to Kyron. What we know is that Sean McVay

163
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,320
has relied heavily on Kyron over the past few seasons.

164
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,240
McVeigh is typically a one running back kind of coach.

165
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,080
This extension would be music to our ears for those

166
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,879
invested in Kyron. If there is no deal that's done

167
00:08:43,879 --> 00:08:46,519
by the time the season comes to a start, then

168
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,679
suddenly there might be some room for not panic. But

169
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,519
question is Kyrien going to be with the Rams long

170
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,559
term or is this just more of a scheme based

171
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,039
assets that Kyroen has thrived off of that might not

172
00:08:57,159 --> 00:08:59,559
pan out elsewhere. But it does sound like Kyron is

173
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,639
confident that he will receive an extension soon.

174
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on that situation.

175
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: Be right back with five more burning questions for OTA's

176
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,879
after quick break. Before we get to that, reach out

177
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:11,200
for roster call if interested to break down your team

178
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:13,759
top to bottom or if you have multiple teams, we'll

179
00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:15,840
get that locked in on my calendar for Google meets

180
00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:19,480
thirty dollars thirty minutes, fifty dollars one hour. It's great

181
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:22,600
time to touch base with Irkey draft completed or upcoming.

182
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,879
Send me an email Dinasydepod at gmail dot com to

183
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,759
check my availability, or hit me up on social media

184
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,679
at Din's do pod on most platforms.

185
00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 2: Be right back after that quick break.

186
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: Question number six, what will Green Bay's wide receiver usage be?

187
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:44,480
We have Jayden Reed, Matthew Golvin, Christian Watson, Romeo Dobbs,

188
00:09:44,639 --> 00:09:47,639
Dow Tavion Wicks, save On Williams, a luxury of riches

189
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,840
for the Packers in real life, but puzzling for.

190
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,639
Speaker 2: Us in fantasy. Jayden Reid was the PPR wide.

191
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: Out twenty five and twenty twenty three, the wide out

192
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,120
twenty nine and twenty twenty four, so a stable wide

193
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,480
receiver three with some wide receiver two upside He's bulked

194
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:02,919
up almost fifteen pounds this offseason, which could, like Harris Junior,

195
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,200
help benefit his game. Matthew Goldvin, twenty third overall pick

196
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,759
out of Texas speed Machine, brings verticality and possession traits Ford,

197
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,840
Jordan Love and Matt Lafleur in his offense. Christian Watson

198
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,159
towards ACL Meek eighteen the last season, highly unlikely to

199
00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:19,799
be ready for the first half of the campaign. We'll

200
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,159
see what that timeline ultimately translates to. Romeo Dobbs the

201
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:26,000
PPR wide off at these six last season, meaning he

202
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:28,679
was boomer bust, not reliable week to week. Don Tavion

203
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,639
Wicks was the PPR wide out seventy two, so even

204
00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:35,279
less reliable than Dobbs. And then Savan Williams third round

205
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,440
or to TCU can do it all rusher receiver special

206
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,120
teams who is going to emerge? My money would be

207
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,360
on Matthew gold then, based on the draft capital investment,

208
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,240
Jayden Reid is somewhat of a buy low if you

209
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,360
need help at wide receiver three or flex on your team. However,

210
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:51,360
I'm not going to overspend for any of them, and

211
00:10:51,399 --> 00:10:54,000
I want to see what all the beat reporters and

212
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,639
those plugged into the team have to say with usage

213
00:10:56,759 --> 00:10:59,600
in OTAs and eventually training camp before looking to acquire

214
00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:02,000
any of these names if they're not already on your team, unless,

215
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
of course, you're a rookie draft and Matthew Golden is

216
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,360
stearing you in the face in the late first, early second,

217
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:08,679
then of course take that talent and let's see how

218
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,440
the utilization occurs as a rookie. Nonetheless, it's great news

219
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:13,960
for Jordan Love if you have him in a one

220
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,240
quarterback or super flex lead because he has so many

221
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,000
weapons to utilize. Question seven will James Cook hold out?

222
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,840
He turns twenty six this September. He was the PPRRB

223
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:25,279
twelve and twenty twenty three and the ppr RB eight

224
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:27,799
in twenty twenty four, so in RB one in twelvefteen

225
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,519
leagues the past two years. He's commanding that James Cook

226
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,360
around fifteen million per season, and we know by now

227
00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:36,039
that Bill's GM Brandon Bean. His stance remains the same

228
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,440
about not willing to pay that amount or meet that threshold.

229
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,200
There's apparently been an offer on a table to Cook

230
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,799
and his camp are not in favor of This is

231
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:46,519
a stalemate. It's worth bringing up that James Cook did

232
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:49,039
not show up for the beginning of the Bills offseason program.

233
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:49,919
Speaker 2: No surprise there.

234
00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:52,919
Speaker 1: He's at back to back one thousand plus yard rushing seasons,

235
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,799
career numbers of four point nine yards per carry on

236
00:11:55,879 --> 00:11:59,159
five hundred and thirty three rushes, twenty rushing touchdowns, ninety

237
00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:02,720
seven receptions seven receiving touchdowns in forty nine games played.

238
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,240
Cook has benefited from being touched on a pendant. He's

239
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,919
not a true workhorse like other top two running.

240
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: Backs in the NFL.

241
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: However, it's a great scheme fit with Joe Brady and

242
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:16,519
how Josh Allen looks for Cook.

243
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: In this offense.

244
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: All that being said, sort of like Sakwon Barkley, we

245
00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:23,559
might be at a point in peak value for James Cook.

246
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,080
I am of that belief. I have two shares of

247
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,159
Cook in my dynasty League's one. I still have a

248
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,759
share of the other I pivoted off of amounted to

249
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:35,000
being a few Domino trades. Ultimately, I doubt that Cook

250
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:36,879
holds out because it would hurt his value, to seem

251
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:38,639
with running backs in the past that I've done so

252
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,879
Ray Davis, Ty Johnson nonetheless, are excellent stashes in the

253
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:44,559
event that James Cook plays hardball and it tends to

254
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,039
hold out for a new contract. If you have him

255
00:12:47,039 --> 00:12:49,080
and you can pivot to another running back or Robert

256
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,720
Stever coloson value, there's no harm in doing so. The

257
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,840
odds that James Cook continues to deliver on his touchdown

258
00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:57,879
rates is unlikely. He's a terrific RB one when healthy

259
00:12:57,879 --> 00:13:00,679
and on the field, but again, when there's there's fire,

260
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:03,679
and it's been almost a year now, this rhetoric of

261
00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:06,120
James Cook possibly holding out and that is a bit

262
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:09,080
scary when you relign him as an RB one or

263
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,399
an RB two in your dynasty League's question eight. Will

264
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,039
Jordan Addison be suspended early this offseason? Addison filed the

265
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:18,360
continuance of his DUI case and his hearing was ready

266
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,080
schedule for this past March. There has not been a

267
00:13:21,159 --> 00:13:24,919
clear concise discussion if league discipline from the NFL worker

268
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,360
at all in twenty twenty five or.

269
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty six.

270
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: Based on previous DUI cases for players in the league,

271
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,679
three games seems to be the average or median expectation.

272
00:13:34,039 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: Addison is twenty three.

273
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: He's been the PPR Wide receiver twenty three and twenty

274
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,799
twenty three and the wide receiver twenty one in twenty

275
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,360
twenty four. Start as at aol ten Ure, so a

276
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,399
rock solid wide receiver two in fantasy. He's still seeking

277
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,320
his first one thousand yeard receiving campaign. However, has been

278
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,080
a touchdown machine at nineteen scores in thirty two games

279
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,639
to date. He's a really nice one B to Justin

280
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,120
Jefferson as the one A, and now we'll be able

281
00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:57,240
to see how he fares with JJ McCarthy in twenty

282
00:13:57,279 --> 00:13:59,240
twenty five. What I will say is that it's fair

283
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:02,679
to wonder if Minutes Soda is anticipating his suspension in

284
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,879
twenty twenty five, they're spending what did it seem like

285
00:14:04,919 --> 00:14:07,519
a need third round pick on ty Felton out of

286
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,519
Maryland in this year's draft. That's just me sort of

287
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:12,320
reading the tea leaves. We'll see what happens. Addison, I

288
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,000
still think is a terrific investment and holding the dynasty.

289
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,360
If anyone is fearful that suspension or JAJ McCarthy's presence,

290
00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:22,080
I would buy low. Addison is easily worth the first

291
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,679
I'd say mid to late in most formats, but the

292
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,639
suspension is certainly looming one way or another from what

293
00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:31,120
it sounds like. Question nine, when will Chris Goblin return.

294
00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:34,200
He dislocated his ankle in Week seven of last season,

295
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,879
resulting in surgery. All reports indicate that Goblin should be

296
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:40,519
all systems go for the start of twenty twenty five.

297
00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:43,960
Some have questioned that timeline, and understandably so. After the

298
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,080
Buccaneers selected Meca Guka with the nineteenth overall pick in

299
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,320
the first round this year. Goblin himself, entering his age

300
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,559
twenty nine season, signed a lucrative three year, sixty six

301
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,360
million dollar contract in the off season. The return of

302
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,080
the Buccaneers when supposedly up to twenty million more per

303
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,679
year available from teams at the Patriots on the table

304
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,600
contract wise, clearly Godwin wants to run it back with

305
00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:07,600
Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans. If Godwin is back from

306
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,799
his ankle injury, even eighty ninety percent of what he

307
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,679
was doing last year, he was on pace to be

308
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,480
a top five to eight receiver, depending in half for

309
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:17,399
full point GPR formats. There's a lot of competition here

310
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:23,080
between Evans, Godwin, Hilly McMillan, Agguca, Bucky Rashad, even Kay Dodden.

311
00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:26,519
Even so, Godwin went healthy is a key cog of

312
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:30,399
the offense Baker is going to continue to implement even

313
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,639
without the presence of Liam Cohen. Godwin, in my mind,

314
00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:36,840
is a solid investment for contending teams. If you're on

315
00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:39,960
that brink of middle of the road not contending, this

316
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,440
is your moment to sell Godwin or wait until he

317
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:45,480
is back in the field between thegether a few big

318
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:49,399
performances and then you have your exit. Question ten is

319
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,200
how serious is Luther Burden's injury? Ben Johnson as stated

320
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,000
that Bird is dealing with a soft tissue injury and

321
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,480
remains to be seen Wheney will return.

322
00:15:56,799 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: That's not great to hear.

323
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,799
Speaker 1: It's vague and discouraging for Burdon's beginning offseason programs. He

324
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,279
fights with the Bears wide receiver three row behind DJ

325
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:08,600
Moore and Roma Doonsay. As we all know, Burden second

326
00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:10,799
round pick out of Missouri, who a majority of scouts

327
00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:13,879
had ranked as a first round prospect, even some as

328
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:16,159
the wide receiver one in this year's class, ahead of

329
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:16,960
Travis Hunter.

330
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: Tedero McMillan.

331
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,639
Speaker 1: I'm not as high on Burden to that extents, he

332
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:24,120
is in my rankings higher than consensus. I think that

333
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,679
Burden's going to be a perfect scheme fits for Ben

334
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:29,080
Johnson in the Amanans Saint Brown.

335
00:16:28,879 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: Slot role, assuming health cooperates.

336
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,559
Speaker 1: Anytime a rookie off the bat gets injured, and it

337
00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:35,879
sounds like it was a weird injury where the football

338
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,519
landed on him, ars up against him awkwardly when he

339
00:16:38,559 --> 00:16:40,679
hit the ground. There's not a lot of clarity, but

340
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,720
I will say that he needs the reps with Caleb

341
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:45,960
Williams to really develop that rapport and be ready to

342
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,799
become an immediate contributor come week one. Dj Moore, Roma,

343
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:53,399
Doonzay Coleson, Lovelin, DeAndre Swift, Roshawn Johnson, co Comett. There's

344
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,519
a lot of pass catchers and skill positions to utilize

345
00:16:56,519 --> 00:16:59,399
for Ben Johnson and company. Burdon needs to be back

346
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,399
in the question does remain how serious is this soft tissue.

347
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: Injury and what is it?

348
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: Is it just a simple strain from the ball landing

349
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,240
awkually on his body or is it one of those

350
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:14,480
dreaded possible lingering hamstring calf sort of strains. There's no

351
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:16,039
answer right now, and that's why I think it's a

352
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:19,119
pressing question to monitor and OTAs. Thanks for listening to
