Speaker 1: the show. I have rambled on long enough. Let's bring
Speaker 1: in the definitive commissioner of Fantasy football. He is the
Speaker 1: head of the Kentucky Fantasy Football State Championship. He is
Speaker 1: the crusher of I shouldn't say crusher. He is the
Speaker 1: builder of all dreams in the NFL as he is
Speaker 1: a player agent and just fresh off his appearance at
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five NFL Scouting Combine, Mister Farrell Elliott Farrell.
Speaker 1: Welcome back from Indianapolis. Let me ask you this. How
Speaker 1: was the shrimp cocktail? How is the steak at Saint Almos?
Speaker 1: Not until you are back in Louisville, Kentucky.
Speaker 2: I did not make it to Saint Almos this year.
Speaker 1: Because you're you're working too hard. Yeah, you need to
Speaker 1: take a break. Go to Saint Almos, have a nice steak.
Speaker 1: You're working too hard. You're crushing you, You're crushing too much.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 2: I'm crushing the dreams of the other agents when I'm
Speaker 2: out working. You know, they're all sitting over everything about
Speaker 2: It was fantastic. The uh uh the gorilla at the
Speaker 2: Combine is n I l uh we uh. I had
Speaker 2: a meeting this morning. I attended uh hosted by a
Speaker 2: UH a wonderful guy named Neil Stratton who does a
Speaker 2: great job of bringing the industry together for his private meetings.
Speaker 2: And over thirty nil general managers from colleges across the
Speaker 2: country were there and it was very enlightening. And yeah,
Speaker 2: that is the that is the gorilla. Uh. As far
Speaker 2: as the Combine is concerned, ask more directed questions and
Speaker 2: I'll give you some ins.
Speaker 1: Neil Stratton can be here. Neil Stratton, by the way
Speaker 1: from Houston, Texas came followed on the X at inside
Speaker 1: the League. He is the guy who is going to
Speaker 1: be running succeed in football dot Com. And you were
Speaker 1: at a front row seat for this. I don't want
Speaker 1: to put words in you with Farrell, but was this
Speaker 1: like the actual combine? Did you also get an upgrade
Speaker 1: in understanding the NIL and everything going on in college
Speaker 1: football equally as you are understanding as you already have
Speaker 1: a well handled situation on it with pro football? Was
Speaker 1: this kind of like on the same level college and problem.
Speaker 2: Is continuing and we're all figuring out at the same
Speaker 2: time from coaches from general managers. The shift is that
Speaker 2: many general managers, as talent evaluators and people that can
Speaker 2: manage a salary cap, are coming from professional football and
Speaker 2: moving into the college ranks to run the NIL. And
Speaker 2: there are all various ages and they're all being very
Speaker 2: well compensated, which makes it quite feasible for them to
Speaker 2: wish to leave scouting in the NFL or some other
Speaker 2: aspect of coaching and come in and contribute. And it, uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's pretty fascinating, and it's it's going to how
Speaker 2: it affects fantasy football, because that's what this show is about.
Speaker 2: We're going to know more about the players. We're going
Speaker 2: to be able to understand an early nil valuation of
Speaker 2: college players another stat besides their name, to discuss what
Speaker 2: they're going to do when we get to the NFL.
Speaker 2: And so all of us would like to play fantasy
Speaker 2: football can now begin to project rookie values long before
Speaker 2: they've become available to us in the NFL. And we're
Speaker 2: going to continue to see a great deal of transfer,
Speaker 2: not transfer for transfer sake, but transfer because of the
Speaker 2: economics involved. And it's uh, yeah, it's it's uh, it's
Speaker 2: a very exciting time in the football world.
Speaker 1: What can you tell me about is obviously, like a
Speaker 1: lot of us who, like a lot of people who
Speaker 1: are playing dynasty, whether in the KFFC, the FFPC, are
Speaker 1: tuning in tonight to find out more about dynasty fantasy football.
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about not only the the
Speaker 1: landscape with college football with the NIL right now, but
Speaker 1: how that's affecting pro football. And I'll bring you to this.
Speaker 1: There are plenty of players who are sticking around in
Speaker 1: college football right now because of the landfall of cash
Speaker 1: that they are getting as opposed to what they could
Speaker 1: get in the NFL. Is this something we need to
Speaker 1: be concerned about. There is something to be said for
Speaker 1: people who are scouting players, you know, at the DEBI level,
Speaker 1: and then and then obviously at the college football level,
Speaker 1: who are excited about dynasty fantasy football, you know, rookie
Speaker 1: drafts coming up and everything. How is this affecting us
Speaker 1: who do not follow college football, do not follow high
Speaker 1: school football, but follow professional football, especially at that dynasty level.
Speaker 1: How is the nil How is everything that you have
Speaker 1: learned this past weekend and previous to this affecting players
Speaker 1: who are not only drafting in redraft leagues, but dynasty
Speaker 1: leagues as well. Well.
Speaker 2: I think it's time to start following college football because
Speaker 2: we can now understand it in the terms that we're
Speaker 2: used to as fantasy players, and we can deal with
Speaker 2: it in the terms that we're used to. Is studying
Speaker 2: and following the money in the NFL, because it's beginning
Speaker 2: to look more like that. No players, you know, the
Speaker 2: COVID is finally in the background. It's finally so far
Speaker 2: back that the age there is not an age limitation
Speaker 2: on players. We're going to see more four and five
Speaker 2: and done and more younger players coming in the league.
Speaker 2: And I think we I think that was reflected in
Speaker 2: the guys that are working at the combine of the
Speaker 2: guys that are going to be in the draft this year.
Speaker 2: One of the things of balkey that I've had commentary
Speaker 2: from friends. Our good friend Richard Ross sent me a
Speaker 2: text tonight talking about how players that don't perform at
Speaker 2: the combine he questions their competitiveness. And that's understandable because
Speaker 2: you know, I ran into a trainer today that asked
Speaker 2: me to call some agents that were new in the
Speaker 2: business and tell them that their client, his client that
Speaker 2: he's been training, and their client that they represent him
Speaker 2: must run at the combine. Because the player wants to run.
Speaker 2: The agent doesn't want him to because the agent's nervous
Speaker 2: that he hasn't healed from his injury from college ball.
Speaker 2: And I met that kid, and there's no way that
Speaker 2: it's going to keep him out for running at the combine.
Speaker 2: He would run in the hallway on the way to
Speaker 2: But if you are a college football fan, you want
Speaker 2: players to show up and play in the bowl game.
Speaker 2: There was one team last year it might have been
Speaker 2: San Jose, but I'm not really sure who it was.
Speaker 2: They had to cancel their involvement in a bowl game
Speaker 2: because so many players that entered the portal, they have
Speaker 2: no players to play in the bowl game. Then we
Speaker 2: want the tournament. We want a true national championship in
Speaker 2: college football, and you have elongated seasons there. So you
Speaker 2: take a switch now and you look at the different
Speaker 2: players who are at the top of their game, amongst
Speaker 2: the top players in the league, and here we are
Speaker 2: in late February. Well, they played a long college season.
Speaker 2: They're not necessarily advanced in their training. Their body hasn't
Speaker 2: recovered from the season. So it's understandable how they figured
Speaker 2: that their best effort could come later at the combine
Speaker 2: because or at the pro day, because the training that
Speaker 2: they're having personally is just beginning to take effect. They
Speaker 2: would go and have a week of training and make
Speaker 2: gradual steps. But now that has sort of kicked in,
Speaker 2: and so in one day's training they're advancing like it
Speaker 2: was for an entire week. And I'll figure up. I'll
Speaker 2: finish up by just saying that there's an element that
Speaker 2: if you throw at your pro day or if you
Speaker 2: work at your pro DA, you're going to be assisting
Speaker 2: your teammates that are there. If you're a top player
Speaker 2: and you haven't worked yet, there's a chance that more
Speaker 2: attentive and more depth every team will have representation, but
Speaker 2: attentive guys in the coaching staff and more depth from
Speaker 2: certain teams might show up at your PRODA, which helps
Speaker 2: all the guys that you've been with for four years.
Speaker 2: So it doesn't let's let's don't. Let's don't set a
Speaker 2: player aside because he doesn't throw at the PRODA. He's
Speaker 2: got personal reasons to do it. He might be doing
Speaker 2: a lot of other things that you like as a
Speaker 2: football fan.
Speaker 1: I think the thing to understand here is, I'll put
Speaker 1: this out there. Ryan Heath from Fantasy Points just at
Speaker 1: a podcast with Theogrammager, and he pointed out all the
Speaker 1: things that we need to be paying attention to and
Speaker 1: the things we should ignore as far as the combine
Speaker 1: goes to your point, Pharaoh, and check that out anywhere
Speaker 1: you get podcasts to your point Pharaoh. I think that
Speaker 1: if I was in a situation as a quarterback, a
Speaker 1: receiver of running back to tight end, whatever I am
Speaker 1: going to do, what is going to get me drafted highest,
Speaker 1: because what is going to get me drafted highest in
Speaker 1: the NFL draft is going to pay me the most.
Speaker 1: So if that's not working out, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: work out.
Speaker 2: That's a good point. And each of that is determined individually.
Speaker 2: Like and you know, I wanted to be at the
Speaker 2: combine and I wanted to get the most from the
Speaker 2: meetings today, so balkey. As you know, I am not
Speaker 2: a more person, but I was. I was up this
Speaker 2: morning at four am. So if I say anything that's
Speaker 2: a bit off putting to anyone, I apologize because you
Speaker 2: know this has been a hello, a long day.
Speaker 1: That's all I will say this. I had a six
Speaker 1: forty five am doctors, So you and I are in
Speaker 1: a bad spot right now.
Speaker 2: I need a six forty five am doctors point.
Speaker 1: All right, So here's what I want to do. We
Speaker 1: have Jeff Newton, the twenty three time FFPC champion, hanging
Speaker 1: out in the in the in the green room. I
Speaker 1: have ordered my intern to put out extra bacon wrap
Speaker 1: shrimp for him because we will get to him in
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. There's two things I want to
Speaker 1: bring up tonight, Ferrell before we get into the actual
Speaker 1: show itself.
Speaker 2: Some Porkys will be proud that you got the bacon ry.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, porky's by the way, Scott Christian, here we go.
Speaker 2: Nothing better than seafood and and pork Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, no question. And anytime I have an opportunity to
Speaker 1: bring up Winker on the show, I'm going to do that.
Speaker 1: This is this is going to be terrible. It's Christian
Speaker 1: and who's the other one?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Then James Sicks?
Speaker 1: You just James who gave me this? And I feel
Speaker 1: bad for James Hicks because I know you've been You
Speaker 1: probably don't know my name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you told you. You introduced me as a crusher
Speaker 2: of dreams a few minutes ago. We're not going to
Speaker 2: be right about everything during the show exactly.
Speaker 1: So glad to be joined by Farrell Edwards tonight on
Speaker 1: the on the show fantastic stuff. No no, Scott, Scott
Speaker 1: Christian and James Kicks uh birthing pinkers that we are
Speaker 1: bringing on the show tonight. So two things I want
Speaker 1: to bring up. Number one, the big news of the
Speaker 1: night Matthew Stafford. He's finalizing a deal to remain with
Speaker 1: the Rams for this upcoming season. According to Ian Rappaport.
Speaker 1: The te's just have to be crossed, the eyes just
Speaker 1: have to be dotted. We were talking about Stafford potentially
Speaker 1: going to the Giants, Stafford potentially going to the Raiders.
Speaker 1: Obviously he was skiing with Tom Brady and Montana this
Speaker 1: past week. We know he's gonna be back with Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Ferrell. This just I think the biggest thing I
Speaker 1: take away from this. I'm comfy, cozy draftings Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: as my number two quarterback in never too early best
Speaker 1: ball tournaments with the FFPC, and Puka Nakua is locked
Speaker 1: and loaded as a first round pick this year. And
Speaker 1: that's my biggest takeaways from the Stafford. The reported Stafford
Speaker 1: deal with the Rams. That's gonna keep him around, not
Speaker 1: only for twenty twenty five, which is all I care
Speaker 1: about with Stafford because they kind of want to go
Speaker 1: week to week with him or year to year with
Speaker 1: him right now. That's all I care about with him
Speaker 1: right now. I feel really good about Stafford Nkua in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too. We got to figure out how
Speaker 2: to use Stafford in this upcoming draft, and if you're
Speaker 2: gonna get him as a second round draft pick, and
Speaker 2: you know, two hundred and seventy nine million dollars is
Speaker 2: the new salary cap. I don't expect to jump like
Speaker 2: that next year. And the reason I don't is because
Speaker 2: I've been told by people that really know not to
Speaker 2: expect to jump next year, but a year to year thing.
Speaker 2: You know. One of the things I learned today is
Speaker 2: we might get you know, the collective of bargaining agreement
Speaker 2: does the current one does not expire until twenty thirty.
Speaker 2: We might get there sooner. There's so many introduction of
Speaker 2: revenue streams in the NFL that the owners may actually
Speaker 2: want to join the players' union and getting a new
Speaker 2: deal out on the table. So that might include this
Speaker 2: big news for fantasy football, and the players are dead
Speaker 2: set against it as of today. But part of that
Speaker 2: negotiation might be another regular season football game. So we'll see,
Speaker 2: we will see.
Speaker 1: I want to bring this up and and my apologies again, Jeff,
Speaker 1: gorge yourself on that bacon rap shrimp, because we will
Speaker 1: get to you shortly.
Speaker 2: We're going to go over tonight.
Speaker 4: Bo.
Speaker 1: It's leaning that way. Tom Smith, our mutual friend Tom Smith,
Speaker 1: who I am playing in Week one, h aff C
Speaker 1: one of the KFFFC drafts that have already drafted, sent
Speaker 1: me a Facebook message tonight about Corbyn Smith, who covers
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks for Emerald Spectrum locked on Seahawks Fox
Speaker 1: thirteen Seattle. He does a lot. He's got twenty four
Speaker 1: thousand plus followers on x I'll bring this up. He
Speaker 1: reported that the Packers have been open to the idea
Speaker 1: of moving their first round pick in exchange for DK
Speaker 1: Metcalf because, as Peter Vikowski, who is a normal weekly
Speaker 1: guest on my terrestrial radio show here in northeast Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: they believe they can get similar compensation back for Jay
Speaker 1: R Alexander, the cornerback, the former All Pro cornerback for
Speaker 1: the Packers, in a separate deal. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: going on. According to Corman Smith, there is a deal
Speaker 1: on the table right now that the Packers have issued
Speaker 1: for Seattle that will send one of the packers draft
Speaker 1: picks and one of the Packers' young receivers to Seattle
Speaker 1: in exchange for DK Metcalf coming to Green Bay. I
Speaker 1: don't like to dwell on this type of stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't like to put a spotlight on this type of stuff,
Speaker 1: but when Tom Smith, KFFFC celebrity, FFP seed legend, when
Speaker 1: he brings this up, I feel like I have to
Speaker 1: bring this up. This does not sound like Green Bay,
Speaker 1: this does not feel like the Packers. But it's out
Speaker 1: there right now. Farrell, if you are drafting in the
Speaker 1: KFFFC right now, if you are drafting in the FFPC
Speaker 1: right now, how do you handle the Packers receivers? More importantly,
Speaker 1: how do you handle DK Metcalf Knowing that it's reported
Speaker 1: that he could be headed to the Packers from Seattle.
Speaker 2: I've always wanted DK Metcalf to have a new playground.
Speaker 2: I think that would be wonderful. Who knows, it's just
Speaker 2: that does it move? Where's he going? Where's Darren? Let
Speaker 2: us know that he's going right now because he there's
Speaker 2: a room I think to move him up on speculation,
Speaker 2: and I think there's a lot of any landing space
Speaker 2: outside of Seattle might be an improved landing space for him.
Speaker 2: Not that things aren't necessarily correct in Seattle, but I
Speaker 2: think this player, like some of the other receivers, it
Speaker 2: digs and it could just use a new sever.
Speaker 1: Right now, DK Metcalf is drafted as wide receiver te
Speaker 1: so at the end of the of the wide Receiver
Speaker 1: twos that he is going at the five oh four
Speaker 1: Pharaoh right now in the FFPC Big Gorilla Fantasymojo dot
Speaker 1: Com at Fantasy Mojo on the ex Fantasy Mojo, Darren
Speaker 1: ARMANI the godfather of the processes, Joe's for the FFPC
Speaker 1: anytime we cite ADP, it is, according to Fantasy Mojo,
Speaker 1: Metcalf at the five oh four right now, that is
Speaker 1: right behind DeVante Adams and Tetoroa McMillan, right ahead of
Speaker 1: Crystal Lave and Zay Flowers. Tom Smith also chiming in
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Would DK Metcalf be the wide receiver one
Speaker 1: Bay if he's traded to them? Unequivocally, yes, he would. Now,
Speaker 1: what does that mean in Green Bay? It means something
Speaker 1: different for the Packers. The wide receiver one there maybe
Speaker 1: does not drive home what the wide receiver one would
Speaker 1: be for the New York Jets or the Jacksonville Jaguars,
Speaker 1: for the Las Vegas Raiders, for the Houston Texans. It's
Speaker 1: a little bit different here. But I can on to
Speaker 1: quivocally say if DK metcap is traded from Seattle to
Speaker 1: Green Bay, which I don't know how likely it is,
Speaker 1: and I still bet uh that this is not going
Speaker 1: to happen more than than a what. But if he
Speaker 1: did happen, yes, uh, he would go up in ADP.
Speaker 1: He would be the de facto number one receiver in
Speaker 1: Green Bay, which is what people are looking for right now.
Speaker 2: You know what everybody in Green Bay is looking for.
Speaker 1: They want the number one receiver. Farrell, Josh Jacob wants
Speaker 1: the number one receiver. Jordan Love wants the number one receiver.
Speaker 1: I am of the opinion that they can still cobble
Speaker 1: it together in the regular season. Once it gets to
Speaker 1: the postseason, you need that third down guy. You need that.
Speaker 2: Very interesting as well. I'm sorry who former guest of
Speaker 2: the show, Derrek Grier.
Speaker 1: We're a did he post it is this?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: There? He is right there? He is a run first
Speaker 1: team is the Packers h and I and I would
Speaker 1: probably Here's the thing, and this is why I don't
Speaker 1: like to go crazy on these Packers' receivers. When you
Speaker 1: consider the fact that the Packers kind of took the
Speaker 1: ball out of Jordan Love's hands for the majority of
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four season and had Josh Jacobs have
Speaker 1: a banner season this past year and are hoping for
Speaker 1: another banner season this year. They still have Marshon Lloyd.
Speaker 1: Everybody forgets about Marshawn Lloyd. They have Emmanuel's, they have
Speaker 1: Chris Brooks, they have Marshaon Lloyd. This could be another
Speaker 1: big year where we're you know, Pharaoh, You and I
Speaker 1: are sitting here one year for Na saying God, Jordan
Speaker 1: love another step back. But really it was the fact
Speaker 1: that the Packers had a big time running game that
Speaker 1: fueled them this season. And I think that's something that
Speaker 1: we need to keep in mind when we consider the
Speaker 1: Packers could add another receiver, but that wide receiver one
Speaker 1: could be very, very very different than the wide receiver
Speaker 1: one we could see in a lot of other teams
Speaker 1: this season.
Speaker 2: I think all of us need to keep in mind
Speaker 2: when you start talking about the Green Bay Backers that
Speaker 2: we should just listen because you know, Buff there with
Speaker 2: here terrestrial radio and your home work somewhere in Wisconsin. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're spots from home.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: My thought is this, if they stay at status quo
Speaker 1: right now, you want to avoid past pass catchers for
Speaker 1: Green Bay. If they don't, if they go out and
Speaker 1: grab DK Metcalf. You probably need to bump up DK
Speaker 1: back Calf.
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and draft him in the fourth round.
Speaker 2: Get him on the team, see what happens.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about a guy who has won a one
Speaker 1: of at that PC league's over the last half decade.
Speaker 1: He is a twenty three time league winner. He has
Speaker 1: a guy that has a lot of interesting thoughts on
Speaker 1: how he has been able to take his dynasty teams
Speaker 1: from not much in year one to year two, year three,
Speaker 1: year four where he is absolutely crushing it, twenty three
Speaker 1: league titles to his name. I want to welcome him
Speaker 1: on tonight, ladies and gentlemen. His name is Jeff Newton
Speaker 1: and he joins Ferrell and I on the hs FF
Speaker 1: Hour tonight. Jeff, good evening. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for having on board tonight man.
Speaker 4: Now Malkey Farrell, thank you for the invite. I'm really
Speaker 4: excited to be here.
Speaker 1: I am excited to have you as well. And the
Speaker 1: first thing, we always like to get this question out
Speaker 1: of the way. When you're not winning all these FFPC
Speaker 1: leagues dynasty and redraft, by the way, I should point
Speaker 1: that out too, what are you doing for a living
Speaker 1: when you're not dominating the FFPC.
Speaker 4: I retired two and a half years ago from a
Speaker 4: thirty year career in healthcare, and I still have real estate.
Speaker 4: I've been doing real estate for about sixteen years and
Speaker 4: I still have rental properties. But a lot of the
Speaker 4: crazy stuff I was doing with flip funding and things
Speaker 4: like that, I've kind of winded that part down. But
Speaker 4: I would say my career work really had a lot
Speaker 4: of strategy, a lot of negotiation, not having to think
Speaker 4: big picture, and I this is a great outlet, you know,
Speaker 4: going into the especially dynasty. I really enjoy it.
Speaker 1: So refresh my memory. Jeff, you started like redraft leagues
Speaker 1: in the FFPC, and then you you were like, oh,
Speaker 1: let me try this dynasty aspect out right.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Twenty fourteen it was my first year in FFPC,
Speaker 4: and I played till seventeen, and then the laws changed
Speaker 4: and for four years Missouri didn't allow me to play
Speaker 4: at all, and I came back. You know, I've been
Speaker 4: pretty active with the the Players Championship. Had some success there.
Speaker 4: I had some good finishes, some league wins, et cetera.
Speaker 4: But then in twenty two picked up three teams in Dynasty,
Speaker 4: and I always get through the Super Bowl and then
Speaker 4: I just didn't like skin crawling until August when we
Speaker 4: start like trying to prep for the drafts. Right, and
Speaker 4: I'd heard about Dynasty. I've heard about you know, individual
Speaker 4: defensive Player and et cetera. But I always thought, well,
Speaker 4: it's kind of baseball. I don't know if I really
Speaker 4: want to go there, right, I mean, baseball seems to me.
Speaker 4: I played it one year. It was a little more
Speaker 4: than I could really get into. Yeah, but but I
Speaker 4: tried Dynasty three leagues. And I know you probably asked
Speaker 4: me about some of this as we go along, but
Speaker 4: it ramped up fairly quickly. I'm getting better, but I
Speaker 4: want to say, I'm in my fourth year and I'm
Speaker 4: still making a lot of mistakes. And I'm happy to
Speaker 4: share what I've learned and where I'm improving. But I'm
Speaker 4: still finding that I've got a lot a lot of
Speaker 4: room grow.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic, I mean, like, because we we don't always
Speaker 1: get players like you on the program. Initially, when you
Speaker 1: when you were thinking about, you know, moving over from
Speaker 1: Redrafted Dynasty, what was it that attracted you to the
Speaker 1: aspect of Dynasty Fantasy football. Was it, you know, pretty
Speaker 1: much owning all these guys for their the entirety of
Speaker 1: their careers until you traded them or cutting them or
Speaker 1: cut them or anything like that. We got it them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly what was it about Dynasty? Because you went hard
Speaker 1: on this, like like, well, I shouldn't say you went hard.
Speaker 1: You went a little bit light that first year. But
Speaker 1: ever since your first year of Dynasty, you've gone hard.
Speaker 2: Man gone hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I really, Uh, I caught the fever for sure.
Speaker 4: The year round aspect is great. I think. The the
Speaker 4: other thing is, even though I had success in the
Speaker 4: Players Championship, when the season ended, you're done, Like that
Speaker 4: team's gone. You're starting fresh. I love the idea of
Speaker 4: trying to take a twenty man roster when that year,
Speaker 4: but also always it with an eye on how do
Speaker 4: I keep this going? Like I like that idea that
Speaker 4: you can you can build a winner that can endure
Speaker 4: and hopefully run it back, run it back, run it back,
Speaker 4: you know. And then there's that mix, right, I mean,
Speaker 4: do you want a lot of veterans, you want young?
Speaker 4: Do you want to mix how do you make the
Speaker 4: best use of that full twenty man roster and and
Speaker 4: I'll see you. Also, I've been very impressed with the owners,
Speaker 4: the types of engagement I get in in these leagues.
Speaker 4: Obviously with Fantasy the pros Players Championship, there's no trading.
Speaker 4: With this, there's so much engagement around, you know, trade
Speaker 4: block or people you know, sending offers and trying to
Speaker 4: figure out what what I'm looking for and see what
Speaker 4: you know, what they might you be looking to send me,
Speaker 4: and you know, see if there's a match. I find
Speaker 4: most of the owners are very engaging and very enjoyable
Speaker 4: to to try to work with. There's a few that
Speaker 4: you know, just send you goofy offers and you get
Speaker 4: a little frustrated by.
Speaker 1: That many league, right, I mean.
Speaker 2: Those few are the guys that create orphans for the
Speaker 2: rest of us to adopt. You know, there there's you know,
Speaker 2: I mean they they cut and run. They're not there
Speaker 2: to build a champion. I'm impressed. Twenty three championships. I
Speaker 2: finally fell into the Dynasty world. I did it mostly
Speaker 2: through orphans, uh, some through startups. What is your favorite
Speaker 2: way to acquire a Dynasty team? And do you have
Speaker 2: a certain code perhaps that you might live by You
Speaker 2: talk about being a realtor and playing the waiting game
Speaker 2: and hitting it at the right time, and a real
Speaker 2: estate investor. I think you're approaching. I think you're bringing
Speaker 2: a lot of that element to this dynasty world. And
Speaker 2: just tell us a little bit about that. But let's
Speaker 2: start with where you built them. Do you like building
Speaker 2: them through the draft or do you like going in
Speaker 2: and adopting a lonesome, the draggled orphan team.
Speaker 4: I think the answer is yes.
Speaker 2: In most brunettes I had.
Speaker 4: I had seven first places in five seconds in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty four, and six of the twelve teams that finished
Speaker 4: versus Second War orphans, three of them were startups and
Speaker 4: three then we're ongoing leagues. So I found the orphan.
Speaker 4: The orphans were great. I've heard you guys on your
Speaker 4: recent shows talking about, hey, sometimes you can buy an
Speaker 4: orphan and they're ready to go. I found that some
Speaker 4: of these orphans, you know, you never know the background
Speaker 4: of why someone lets the team go, but you look
Speaker 4: at these teams, I'm like, I don't think I need
Speaker 4: to do a lot with this team to make this
Speaker 4: team competitive.
Speaker 2: I know exactly why those you know, guys let those
Speaker 2: teams go. They cannot stand prosperity, they're teams.
Speaker 4: This look great and so. Yeah, so I like I
Speaker 4: like all of that. But I will tell you frankly,
Speaker 4: going from three teams to fourteen to thirty, I may
Speaker 4: have a problem. No, that's that's a little bit. That's
Speaker 4: a little bit quick. But I but I think, you know,
Speaker 4: I don't know if I go more than thirty and
Speaker 4: do it right?
Speaker 2: Where is home from you? For you that where's where's
Speaker 2: your home?
Speaker 4: I'm in Saint Louis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Saint Louis is a good miss, good midwestern. You
Speaker 2: know you need to Okay, it's very good.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you something, Jeff, when we talk
Speaker 1: about Dynasty Fantasy Football. One of the things we exchanged
Speaker 1: some emails prior to this podcast tonight, you have often
Speaker 1: tried to break the code in Dynasty. For lack of
Speaker 1: a better term, What does break the code mean to you?
Speaker 1: Can you explain that to the viewers to the listeners tonight?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate the question. I guess it's all trying
Speaker 4: to get better and smarter and more successful, because I'm
Speaker 4: in year three and you know, I had no success.
Speaker 4: First year, I was better. Year two, I had a
Speaker 4: pretty good year. Last year. But I think it's all
Speaker 4: because I'm I've got a process in place, which I'll
Speaker 4: be happy to share. You can stop me daytime if
Speaker 4: you think we're losing listeners because I'm getting to stuff right,
Speaker 4: but I'll go there. You guys, stop me if I'm
Speaker 4: creating a problem for your show, Well.
Speaker 1: Let's I'm not going to stop you because we're bored already.
Speaker 1: But I want to get I want to get the
Speaker 1: viewers and the listeners intune on this. And you kind
Speaker 1: of alluded to this earlier. Three Dynasty teams for you
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, you up that the following year
Speaker 1: to fourteen, and then this past year you ran thirty
Speaker 1: Dynasty teams. The first year playing Dynasty in the FFPC,
Speaker 1: you didn't win anything, right, the second year, seventy seven
Speaker 1: percent of your entry fees back into your account, and
Speaker 1: then the third year, one hundred and fifty eight percent
Speaker 1: of your league fees went right back into your FFPC
Speaker 1: players account. Last year, seven first place teams, five second
Speaker 1: place finishes out of thirty teams. So you're either finishing
Speaker 1: first and second first exu me first or second. This
Speaker 1: past year, in twelve out of your thirty leagues. So
Speaker 1: can you tell us a little bit about the system
Speaker 1: that you have employed, what intrigues you about dynasty Fantasy Football,
Speaker 1: and honestly, what has you coming back for more is
Speaker 1: obviously your success rate, But tell us a little bit
Speaker 1: about what you've done to make sure that these teams
Speaker 1: don't just stay stagnant as bottom feeders, but are contenders
Speaker 1: every single year.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely, So what I do that's probably a little
Speaker 4: different from some is I barely look at the app
Speaker 4: other than to pick up free agents on Wednesday night.
Speaker 4: So between Tuesday morning and let's call it Friday afternoon,
Speaker 4: I'm not in there setting lineups because to me, that's
Speaker 4: an inefficient use of time. I think Tuesday and Tuesday
Speaker 4: night is all about trying to get an idea who
Speaker 4: you want from waiver perspective. And then also, I know
Speaker 4: I shared this with you Bulkey on an email, the
Speaker 4: big group process withinn FPC, where you can do a
Speaker 4: global big group. It's really great for teams like myself
Speaker 4: that have or guys like myself to have a lot
Speaker 4: of teams because I might miss if someone's dropped, that's
Speaker 4: the player that I wouldn't expect to be available. But
Speaker 4: the way that big group works go, it's showing you
Speaker 4: who's available in all thirty leagues, and so you can
Speaker 4: sort it one to thirty. So if a player is
Speaker 4: only available and one league out of thirty, it's going
Speaker 4: to show me. And if someone only available in one
Speaker 4: league out of thirty, that's probably someone that I might
Speaker 4: want to take note of because there's a reason that
Speaker 4: twenty nine teams own that player. So I can look
Speaker 4: at who got dropped, like a Senate or a Grindo,
Speaker 4: or a Tracy or a McMillan, which I found all
Speaker 4: those guys through this process. Throughout the year.
Speaker 1: On your waiver wire in your dynasty.
Speaker 4: Leagues, you got and you know across these leagues. You
Speaker 4: know wasn't available in every league obviously, but across those
Speaker 4: thirty there was those kind of players. And I know
Speaker 4: Senate hasn't turned out to be much yet, but I'm
Speaker 4: a big believer. But the other guys Tracy, Garndo, McMillan
Speaker 4: and others, I wouldn't have found them without that tool
Speaker 4: because they probably didn't score much the week before they
Speaker 4: probably you might not have shown up. If you've sorted
Speaker 4: by different ways, you could sort you know, points, last week, ownership, whatever.
Speaker 4: But that tool is great, So let me get back
Speaker 4: into the question. So Tuesday is all about free agent
Speaker 4: building the global sheet, not putting in fab but just
Speaker 4: getting the players in there. And of course when you
Speaker 4: build that, you can put twenty or thirty players in
Speaker 4: and it'll only show you by league which ones are
Speaker 4: actually available in your league when you start to toggle
Speaker 4: across your teams. So I use Tuesday Wednesday to get
Speaker 4: that process tight and pick up who I need to
Speaker 4: pick up. Thursday is my trade day. I'm looking at, Okay,
Speaker 4: I didn't get the waiver guys I needed whatever. Thursday
Speaker 4: I'm looking at what do I need to fill? Where
Speaker 4: do I have strengths that I might be able to leverage,
Speaker 4: et cetera. Friday afternoon. Now again this is all done.
Speaker 4: I keep everything on Excel one page. I'm doing all
Speaker 4: this on off the FFPC. I'm doing it on Excel
Speaker 4: because it's so much more efficient to in that color code.
Speaker 4: Who's my starters, my backup players.
Speaker 1: My hand creeps for each league.
Speaker 4: You're doing this for each league, so I can look
Speaker 4: in one place and I can go across thirty tabs
Speaker 4: or thirty rows and I can see, you know, where
Speaker 4: do I have a player that I want to drop
Speaker 4: because it's someone I'd rather pick up someone off the waiver?
Speaker 4: Where do I have a gap? Maybe I've got a
Speaker 4: buy a week where I need to pick up a
Speaker 4: kicker or a defense. But I do it all on
Speaker 4: ex seal. So by the time Friday or Saturday comes,
Speaker 4: I go in and I just set all my lineups.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's very efficient to just go into
Speaker 4: the app and just be like grinding over starting decisions
Speaker 4: from Wednesday to Saturday. I mean, there's so much that
Speaker 4: changes Wednesday, Thursday, Friday in terms of player availability, health,
Speaker 4: all kinds of things. I want to wait till Friday
Speaker 4: or Saturday to make those decisions. I want to use
Speaker 4: that time Tuesday to Thursday to pick up the free
Speaker 4: agents and to make trades, and then Sunday morning. And
Speaker 4: one last thing I'll say is I don't want to
Speaker 4: let the emotions get in the way. Sometimes I make
Speaker 4: bad decisions five minutes four games. So I try hard
Speaker 4: to make decisions on Saturday. And unless there's a tenth
Speaker 4: you know, like the hour and a half before the game,
Speaker 4: someone's inactive or someone like Ingram last year pulled a
Speaker 4: hamstring and warm ups. I'm not changed in the lineup.
Speaker 4: I've learned that my best decisions are on Saturday morning,
Speaker 4: not on Sunday before the game, when I start to
Speaker 4: get that anxiety Pharaoh, the things.
Speaker 1: I do, Jeff, this is all fantastic. This is this
Speaker 1: is like all Dynasty players are are madly scribbling notes
Speaker 1: right now, Pharah, you're gonna ask him about the Dynasty
Speaker 1: bench right now. Before you do that, Jeff, I want
Speaker 1: to ask you when you talk about, you know, submitting
Speaker 1: your waivers Tuesday Wednesday, getting your your your your waivers
Speaker 1: lined up. You said Thursday is your trade day. What
Speaker 1: does that mean? Are you sending out offers? How do
Speaker 1: you handle Thursday knowing that that is the day after
Speaker 1: you know waivers process? What does trade day on Thursday
Speaker 1: mean to you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate that. Well, after Wednesday night, you know
Speaker 4: who you got who you didn't, So it's always exciting.
Speaker 4: I love nine o'clock Central. You know it's locked. You know,
Speaker 4: by ten to thirty you might see who you got
Speaker 4: who you didn't. It's so much fun to go through
Speaker 4: the leagues and see who you know, who you landed
Speaker 4: and who you didn't. But then at that point, I
Speaker 4: can put that in my spreadsheet and I can see,
Speaker 4: you know, if I have any gaps or if I'm
Speaker 4: strong in a position where I think maybe I need
Speaker 4: to leverage that to let's say wide receiver to get
Speaker 4: a little deeper running back. Whoever it may be. But
Speaker 4: I just take the time on Thursday, do at least
Speaker 4: look across the leagues and say, do I have something
Speaker 4: here that I want to at least, you know, go
Speaker 4: out and reach out to the league and see if
Speaker 4: there's maybe a match. And what I typically do instead
Speaker 4: of just sending out a global hey I want to
Speaker 4: make a trade, I'll go into the roster aspect of
Speaker 4: FFPC and there's a tab where you can literally look
Speaker 4: at every roster on one view, and I'll look for
Speaker 4: teams that are weak in an area that I'm strong,
Speaker 4: and then if they have something I need, then I'll
Speaker 4: reach out to them, send something that's what i'd call fair,
Speaker 4: and say are you interested. The one thing I tried
Speaker 4: very hard to do is not send offers that are
Speaker 4: not I want every offer to be at least one
Speaker 4: that makes people think I don't want it to be like, well,
Speaker 4: that's obviously not close. Hopefully I'm creating a conversation and
Speaker 4: hopefully it's a conversation. May not land something that week,
Speaker 4: but maybe I start to engage that owner and I've
Speaker 4: got a better sense what they're looking for. Maybe something
Speaker 4: lands down the line. But yes, I don't always make
Speaker 4: it trade on Thursday, but I want to take the
Speaker 4: time to see if there's something there, and if there's
Speaker 4: not something there, I'm not going to force it.
Speaker 1: So it's the long term aspect, right, because a lot
Speaker 1: of times in my dynasty leagues, I'm like, hey, let's
Speaker 1: work this out, but after a week or two it ends.
Speaker 1: But you are trying to establish some sort of I
Speaker 1: don't want to say a relationship, but some sort of
Speaker 1: dialogue that hey, maybe this deal didn't work out for
Speaker 1: both of us, but maybe now that we have a rapport,
Speaker 1: we can expand this conversation to other deals or maybe
Speaker 1: a bigger deal that maybe doesn't hit, you know, within
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks of when you're discussing it.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a couple months down the road, maybe it's
Speaker 1: next year. Right, It's all about establishing a rapport with
Speaker 1: your league. Makes in Dynasty Fantasy Football, right, jeh, I
Speaker 1: would agree.
Speaker 4: And what I do so I don't lose that is,
Speaker 4: if I get a trade response, I keep a folder
Speaker 4: in my Yahoo email for each league, one for what
Speaker 4: I send out for offers, and one for anything I
Speaker 4: get back is a reply or any accepted deal in
Speaker 4: the league. So I know there's ways to look at
Speaker 4: that within the FFPC, but I also like to go
Speaker 4: to my own email and I can see, Okay, I've
Speaker 4: already sent that offer to that guy three months ago
Speaker 4: and then he responded and he said, hell no, So
Speaker 4: I'm mbind not going to send that again. But I've
Speaker 4: got it there. I can go back and refresh myself.
Speaker 4: And so yeah, I think that's another thing I do
Speaker 4: a little different, is you know thirty leagues, that's sixty
Speaker 4: individual folders. Yeah, But that way, when I'm ready to
Speaker 4: go look at one league for one, you know, trade,
Speaker 4: I'm not weeding through all kinds of information. I've got
Speaker 4: it kind of bucketed in a way I can get through.
Speaker 2: It pretty quickly. You know my question, I believe you
Speaker 2: answered it, and I also I like the way you
Speaker 2: got the brands and the conversations you may have a
Speaker 2: future in NIL yourself, but the managing the end of
Speaker 2: your lineup, your spec guys, that's one of the things
Speaker 2: I'm always working with and I'm probably spending a little
Speaker 2: bit too much time on those guys. But I think
Speaker 2: you just explained your system with that. Thom Smith asked
Speaker 2: about ridiculous trade offers. I think you've handled that to
Speaker 2: make sure that your trades are always going to get someone.
Speaker 2: One of your co owner's attentions, I'm more interested to get.
Speaker 2: Unless you have anything else to say about the end
Speaker 2: of the bench, I'm really interested to BALKI to keep
Speaker 2: moving on because I want to get you your with
Speaker 2: the success you're having, I want to hurry up and
Speaker 2: get to talk about the rookie drafts because how much
Speaker 2: are your team's going to change and how many how
Speaker 2: often do you move rookie picks? And we'll get to
Speaker 2: that later. That's where I want to get to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you want to move on, we could certainly
Speaker 4: do that. Yeah, I will say, just on the bench,
Speaker 4: I just think we should be working all twenty positions.
Speaker 4: I do see rosters where it's like there's dead weight
Speaker 4: at the end, and I'm thinking why. I mean there's
Speaker 4: guys out there. I'm looking all the time and seeing
Speaker 4: the Grendos and other running backs or wide receivers. You
Speaker 4: can see a path for value even if you don't
Speaker 4: need to start them they. I mean, as we see
Speaker 4: with Grin, well, especially with Tracy and McMillan. I mean,
Speaker 4: guys that were free agents are now what late first
Speaker 4: early second round value even if you didn't meet them,
Speaker 4: you'll love having that value to trade for something else. Right,
Speaker 4: So I just don't see why we're having three four
Speaker 4: quarterbacks on the team. You know, I was looking at
Speaker 4: one team in one of my leagues. They have Aaron Rodgers, Watson,
Speaker 4: Trevor Watt, Trevor Lawrence when going blank, the guy in Jacksonville. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so Trevor uh and Nix and Pennix. So that's five spots.
Speaker 4: It's like, man, there's got to be there's got to
Speaker 4: be a better way, right So anyway with I'm just
Speaker 4: a big believer. You know, let's not put like lock
Speaker 4: it on the end of the bench or guys like well,
Speaker 4: you know, Aaron Rodgers. I mean, there's got to be
Speaker 4: a better way to use that spot.
Speaker 1: This is a great point, Chef, because I happen to
Speaker 1: manage my redraft teams in a similar way those last
Speaker 1: four and five spots on your dynasty benches. It is
Speaker 1: all about upside for those playoffs. You are not you
Speaker 1: are not putting a guy. Why you mentioned Lockett lock
Speaker 1: It is a perfect example. A guy that's like wide
Speaker 1: receiver fifty something that has an upside of wide receiver
Speaker 1: forty something, right, or running back that that is a
Speaker 1: wide receiver thirty eight, or excuse me, a running back
Speaker 1: thirty eight, running back thirty seven that has the upside
Speaker 1: of running back thirty Like it is all about. It
Speaker 1: is all about trying to get the upside, and you
Speaker 1: will turn through those guys and when you cut them,
Speaker 1: and this is the other thing to keep in mind too.
Speaker 1: You cut them, and it's probably better for your team
Speaker 1: that you do, but then it's it's also forcing your
Speaker 1: your league mates, your other eleven league mates, like, oh,
Speaker 1: should I be picking up this guy? And maybe they do,
Speaker 1: and then maybe they're cutting a guy that again has
Speaker 1: a running back that is like running back sixty or whatever,
Speaker 1: but he has the upside if he gets the opportunity
Speaker 1: of running back twenty five or running back fifteen or
Speaker 1: something like that, and then you can pick you can
Speaker 1: pick him up. It's all about keeping that churn going.
Speaker 1: And I feel like, and correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I feel like every single week during the Dynasty Football season,
Speaker 1: you're always trying to find out who those upside guys are.
Speaker 1: From week one to week three, to week seven to
Speaker 1: week fifteen. You know, like that is how you're operating
Speaker 1: your teams.
Speaker 4: I would agree, I'm looking before I even go into
Speaker 4: the FFPC site to start picking up anybody for that week,
Speaker 4: I go across my thirty rosters and I say, do
Speaker 4: I even have a drop? I mean, I'm not going
Speaker 4: to drop someone if I don't have a drop, but
Speaker 4: I'll determine maybe ten or twelve teams are someone that
Speaker 4: you know, I just don't see the upside or the
Speaker 4: value of that player. Then I'll still do the search
Speaker 4: across the thirty because I might find a McMillan or
Speaker 4: a Tracy in one of those leads where didn't have
Speaker 4: a drop, and then I have to go back and say, well,
Speaker 4: maybe I need to find a drop or make a
Speaker 4: trade or something, because I you know, of course hard
Speaker 4: when you don't have that player, you're just bidding on them.
Speaker 4: But the point is, I, you know, I will sometimes
Speaker 4: have to rethink that if if a waiver opportunity arises.
Speaker 4: To Ferrell's question about rookies, did you want to go
Speaker 4: to this kind of how I value the the value
Speaker 4: of the picks, and where I would consider the veterans.
Speaker 2: You've had so many compelling things to say about Dynasty
Speaker 2: fantasy football that I will listen to anything you want
Speaker 2: to say.
Speaker 1: But well, here here's the thing. Let me set you
Speaker 1: up for this, Jeff, because I have had on people on.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 1: He's really good at I have had people on the show.
Speaker 1: I've had people on other shows. I've guessed I guessed
Speaker 1: it on other people's shows about how they're trying to
Speaker 1: to really nail all aspects of fantasy football from a
Speaker 1: Dynasty standpoint, the lineup submission, the blind bidding on waivers,
Speaker 1: and perhaps the most important thing, getting the picks right
Speaker 1: in your rookie draft, because if you get the picks
Speaker 1: right in your rookie draft, that allows you for a cavalcade,
Speaker 1: a deep, yawning chasm of being able to make mistakes
Speaker 1: in your other aspects of manager your Dynasty leagues. But
Speaker 1: you have to get the players right in your rookie drafts.
Speaker 1: This is something that you have told me you struggled
Speaker 1: with in twenty twenty three. Excume me in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four you're trying to get right this year? Have you
Speaker 1: changed your approach? And I know the combines going on.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen the NFL draft yet. There's a lot
Speaker 1: that can happen. But how do you think you're going
Speaker 1: to modify? I guess is the best way to ask this.
Speaker 1: How do you think you're going to modify your approach
Speaker 1: to your rookie drafts this year as opposed to how
Speaker 1: you took them on this past year in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: I appreciate the question. I did okay in the first round.
Speaker 4: I really suck in the second through the seventh round.
Speaker 4: I think my hit rate was something like eight out
Speaker 4: of forty something.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me stop you right there. The first thing
Speaker 1: when you say that, the first thing I think of
Speaker 1: is God, Jeff, everybody sucks after the first round, Like
Speaker 1: the hit rate goes way down after the first round.
Speaker 1: But for you, you still desire it more. You still think
Speaker 1: you can be better. How can you be better?
Speaker 4: Well? As an example, I think Bucky Irving's RAZ score
Speaker 4: relative athletics score was something like a two point two. Well,
Speaker 4: I just said, well, he's not a good athlete. That
Speaker 4: means he has to be lower on my list of
Speaker 4: running backs.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: Well, I didn't really catch the fact that he's about
Speaker 4: the most elusive running back and breaking tackles and everything else. Right,
Speaker 4: so three cone drill might be better. Although I don't
Speaker 4: even know if you did three cone, but I've started
Speaker 4: to hear more about three cone might be more indicative
Speaker 4: of even than raz or even for sure forty times. Right,
Speaker 4: but you look at like a tyrone Tracy. I thought, well,
Speaker 4: I don't know, I'm not sure about him. Good good
Speaker 4: RAD score. But he's an older running back, right, so
Speaker 4: maybe I don't want to prioritize him because he's a
Speaker 4: little older than the other. So I pushed Tracy a
Speaker 4: little further down. Well, guess who the two best running
Speaker 4: backs were of the twenty four class so far? Those
Speaker 4: two was my reasons to defer them, you know, further
Speaker 4: down the line. So I'm looking at that and saying, well,
Speaker 4: I mean RADS score is not completely irrelevant. I mean
Speaker 4: there's some very good players like Brian Thomas and you know,
Speaker 4: I mean, I know ad Mitchell didn't have great stats,
Speaker 4: but there's some things that say that he actually was
Speaker 4: a lot better than what Richardson's passing allowed him to.
Speaker 4: Look you know, there's other guys with high RASD scores
Speaker 4: like Grenda that did well. So I'm not dismissing it,
Speaker 4: but I'm just not going to bump someone to the
Speaker 4: bottom of the pile just because of it. And so
Speaker 4: the other thing I'm doing is watching a little more video.
Speaker 4: I've tend a people that that do that right, and
Speaker 4: then I just hear them out, well, you know what
Speaker 4: that got me only so far? Maybe I need to
Speaker 4: start doing a little bit more of the heavy lifting myself.
Speaker 4: So so obviously those are a few of the things.
Speaker 2: It's you know, in your real estate business, you refer
Speaker 2: to what's that common curb appeal? Property has curb appeal?
Speaker 2: You know, you look at it, but it looks really good.
Speaker 2: I we talk about college football. Do we have time
Speaker 2: to watch it? Do we have time to consume it?
Speaker 2: I think one of the shortcuts you can make is
Speaker 2: to try to look at a prolific college player and say,
Speaker 2: who is the NFL player that this guy reminds me
Speaker 2: of That's one of the greatest shortcuts that scouts make
Speaker 2: in trying to explain why they're connected to a player.
Speaker 2: You know, when we and we have an unusual running
Speaker 2: back this year out of a Boise State that people
Speaker 2: will talk about out reminds them of Marshawn Lynch and
Speaker 2: they will actually throw in Barry Sanders sometimes guys with
Speaker 2: great contact ballance, which is my favorite thing to look
Speaker 2: at in a running bik you know it. I think
Speaker 2: you the thing that should be scary to everyone else
Speaker 2: that's in the dynasty world and your divisions is you
Speaker 2: is you're just going to continually, uh get better and
Speaker 2: uh so you you say you've hit on the number
Speaker 2: one very very well, and so the you know, the
Speaker 2: I get it's kind of a couple of my uh
Speaker 2: disappointing teams have very high draft picks. So I get
Speaker 2: a number of offers to acquire my number one draft picks,
Speaker 2: and it's oftentimes from the league winner. You know, he
Speaker 2: wants to give me a variety of things to get
Speaker 2: that number one draft pick. So you want a lot
Speaker 2: of leagues. How often are you going out to aggressively
Speaker 2: try to acquire that number one draft pick and go
Speaker 2: pick you up running back from Boise Stay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say in a few years i've been doing Dynasty,
Speaker 4: I haven't really made much of an effort to go
Speaker 4: after one oh one because the cost was very prohibitive.
Speaker 4: I'm making exception to that this year because I think
Speaker 4: Genti is worth it. So let me let me tell
Speaker 4: you a trade I just made. And I think you
Speaker 4: may say overpaid, but I'm I'm comfortable with it. Okay.
Speaker 4: So I traded one point six and the twenty twenty
Speaker 4: six second for one oh one. Actually, let me get it,
Speaker 4: let me get one more player in there. I traded
Speaker 4: the one oh six that the Benson and Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 4: That's what I traded for one oh one and a
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six second.
Speaker 1: I listen, I'm totally on board with that. So so
Speaker 1: here's the thing we and this is a guy who
Speaker 1: is a scorned, spurned guy when it comes to Trey
Speaker 1: Benson in twenty twenty four because I drafted him based on, Hey,
Speaker 1: James Connor's not gonna stay healthy. There's a very very
Speaker 1: real possibility that Connor stays healthy again for the majority
Speaker 1: of the season and even if he doesn't, we don't
Speaker 1: know how good Trey Benson's gonna be. Tyreek Hill has
Speaker 1: his best football behind him correct, and he could still
Speaker 1: be very good. But I think as I as I
Speaker 1: look towards drafting teams or whatever, I feel like Mike
Speaker 1: McDaniel is trying to keep Tua Tongue Bailloa upright. And
Speaker 1: that means more John Hu Smith, it means more Devon
Speaker 1: ah Chan, and it means less Tyreek Hill, who had
Speaker 1: surgery not only on his knee last year, as we
Speaker 1: found out when he was being arrested by Miami police,
Speaker 1: but we found out his wrist he had surgery on
Speaker 1: as well. So and and again best football behind him.
Speaker 1: Ashton Genty, I have related. I have gone to the extremes.
Speaker 1: Not the extremes, but I've gone to the avenue of
Speaker 1: when I ask people on my shows about Ashton Genty,
Speaker 1: it's not hey, how is this guy good? How is
Speaker 1: this sky gonna matter? I have I and this is
Speaker 1: maybe overestimating how good he's going to be. But my
Speaker 1: questions Jeff on Ashton Genty is hey, how is this
Speaker 1: guy going to be a bust? If I tell you
Speaker 1: that this guy does not live up to his draft
Speaker 1: capital in Dynasty or in redraft. Why is that?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: So, I'm looking for reasons that Ashton genty is going
Speaker 1: to be a bust, and based on what people are
Speaker 1: saying in the FFPC, I'm looking at the Big Gorilla
Speaker 1: Tournament right now as far as where his ADP is.
Speaker 1: He's being drafted as a rookie as running back seven
Speaker 1: at the two h six. He is going ahead of
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving, Jonathan Taylor, Brites Hall, Josh Jacobs. He's going
Speaker 1: ahead of all these guys. He is right in the
Speaker 1: same plane of Devon ah Chan, Derrick Henry and oh yeah,
Speaker 1: last year's number one overall pick, and Christian McCaffrey. So
Speaker 1: I think with gent again, you don't want to get
Speaker 1: too hyperbolic with the with these picks in Dynasty, but
Speaker 1: my god, this guy might be an exception this year.
Speaker 1: That's how I'm reading it, and it seems like that's
Speaker 1: how you're reading it as well.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 4: I had one other one oh one. So with the
Speaker 4: number of teams I have, I at least want to
Speaker 4: have multiple, you know, two, three, four, So I felt like,
Speaker 4: you know, if I in my mind, I at least
Speaker 4: paid fair value, maybe slightly above that. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 4: That's what it took because I think Benson is a question.
Speaker 4: I certainly feel like everything you said about Tyrek Hills true.
Speaker 4: I mean, John Smith is someone I would be very
Speaker 4: interested in, definitely more so than Tyree. And that's actually
Speaker 4: one of the guys. I don't know if you guys
Speaker 4: want to go to that, but real quick, I'll just
Speaker 4: say one of my big misses in the rookie draft.
Speaker 4: I didn't even consider the veterans.
Speaker 2: I really didn't.
Speaker 4: Mayfield was available, not in every league, but across my
Speaker 4: leagues there was Mayfield examples. There was Tyler Kraft or
Speaker 4: Tucker Raft. There were examples of John Ubing available and.
Speaker 2: Zach Ertz was available everywhere. Who's that zach.
Speaker 4: Ertz was Urtz exactly. I mean, so these are guys
Speaker 4: that I didn't even give consideration to. So as far
Speaker 4: as like what I'm going to do different this year,
Speaker 4: certainly around round four on, I want those guys in
Speaker 4: my consideration mix. And I still looking for upside But
Speaker 4: you know what, John new Smith and ERTs were upsideed.
Speaker 4: They don't have to be young to be upside.
Speaker 1: Right, Ferrel. I know you want to ask the last question.
Speaker 1: Before we do that, I want to get to some
Speaker 1: YouTube questions that have popped up for Jeff right now,
Speaker 1: Tom Tom on YouTube? Are our good buddy, Tom Smith?
Speaker 1: Do the so called in quotes bad trade offers you
Speaker 1: Dynasty players get ever get annoying? And I guess like
Speaker 1: I can just speak to my own truth on this, Jeff, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they do get annoyed. Do I respond to everyone as
Speaker 1: much as I can because I don't want to alienate
Speaker 1: any offers?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: But yes, after a while, they do get frustrating, and
Speaker 1: maybe that's on me for the endowment effect overrating my players,
Speaker 1: uh you know, in comparison to how the rest of
Speaker 1: the league rates them. But I still respond. I still
Speaker 1: want to keep a rapport. I don't want to tick
Speaker 1: off any of the owners in my league because I
Speaker 1: never know when I'm gonna I'm gonna seal the deal
Speaker 1: on a on a trade that really helps me out.
Speaker 2: When I get those offers, I mean, would you be
Speaker 2: ticked off if I were to respond reject it and
Speaker 2: respond how close do you live to the dispensary? You know?
Speaker 1: But okay, let let me bring this up. Let me,
Speaker 1: let me bring this up. And he may be watching tonight,
Speaker 1: I don't know. But I went out and I offered
Speaker 1: before the start of the twenty twenty four season, I
Speaker 1: offered Alvin Kamara up and all the Dynasty leagues I had,
Speaker 1: and I was trying to get a first round pick.
Speaker 1: Now for anybody who had the one oh one, the
Speaker 1: one O two, the one O three, whatever, I wasn't
Speaker 1: offering him to that, but for people who had a
Speaker 1: mid first round, a late first round, Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: where I was going to start the bidding. And one
Speaker 1: guy rejected me, and he just said, like his response
Speaker 1: was l O L L O l O L, which
Speaker 1: is fine, which is fine, Yeah, Jeff, I would actually
Speaker 1: prefer response like that then no response at all. How
Speaker 1: do you feel about these these Dynasty trades when you
Speaker 1: get the bad ones in or perhaps you know, like
Speaker 1: how you react when somebody sends you a rejection and
Speaker 1: they obviously don't value your players in the same way
Speaker 1: you do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely almost always will say thanks for the offer,
Speaker 4: no matter what the offer, because I feel like there's
Speaker 4: no downside to that. It shows some respect, it shows
Speaker 4: some appreciation that someone took the time to even reach out. Generally,
Speaker 4: if it's a bad offer, I'm not going to call
Speaker 4: that out unless they just keep doing it. At some
Speaker 4: point I might say, you know, we're not close. This
Speaker 4: players not of interest or whatever. I'm not looking to
Speaker 4: let this player go, whatever it may be. But I'm
Speaker 4: a big believer in, you know, putting comments in and
Speaker 4: then thanking people that put commings in. So like, sometimes
Speaker 4: I'll respond to I'm not going to take your offer.
Speaker 4: Here's what I'm thinking, and I'll get back. I might
Speaker 4: just chat them because maybe I'm not going to counter
Speaker 4: the offer, but I might just sit a chat and say,
Speaker 4: you know, your comments are very appreciated, and I understand
Speaker 4: your position and all the best, you know, something like that,
Speaker 4: just to let them know that I may not be
Speaker 4: willing to do what they want to do, but I
Speaker 4: appreciate the direction and the clarity of what it would take.
Speaker 2: I like that, you know, And if you ever come
Speaker 2: to Kentucky to play Jeff, we'll have the Mister Congeniality
Speaker 2: Trophy waiting for you. You'll be able to warn that to
Speaker 2: you upon But there's something to be said about that,
Speaker 2: and I appreciate that, and I think what Tom might
Speaker 2: be saying, is that sometimes you get such a lopsided
Speaker 2: offers that you say, well, did I miss this in
Speaker 2: the news? I gotta go check. Maybe this guy fell
Speaker 2: off a mountain today or you know, maybe you know,
Speaker 2: you know, that might be the aspect. Okay, boy, we
Speaker 2: gave more emails. What about emails?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: No emails, No emails, don't the only thing the only
Speaker 1: thing I'll bring up and Toyo.
Speaker 2: Is is a really good question.
Speaker 1: So Toyo and I'm not sure if this is Zach
Speaker 1: Toyo are our champion of the Playoff Challenge in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty twenty four and the Best Ball Tournament
Speaker 1: as well. But he says he is a Travion Henderson
Speaker 1: bull Okay, landing spot, Let's take that out of the
Speaker 1: equation here, Where do you have Travion Henderson relative to
Speaker 1: Omarion Hampton from North Carolina Caleb Johnson from Iowa? How
Speaker 1: much have you and and maybe you haven't invested a
Speaker 1: whole lot of thought into these guys, which is totally
Speaker 1: fine because we're still in the final day of February,
Speaker 1: like we got a ways to go before these guys
Speaker 1: are on NFL teams. Where do you land on Toyo's question.
Speaker 4: Here, Well, part of my you know, improving my processes,
Speaker 4: I am starting to look sooner and I have been
Speaker 4: watching in reading up and such, and I'm a huge
Speaker 4: Travion fan, so I really I go back and forth
Speaker 4: between Travion Andrian Hampton in terms of two and three.
Speaker 4: But they're clear. They're my clear two and three to me. Uh,
Speaker 4: you know the you know there's a delta between JENTI
Speaker 4: and then of course these two. But to me, these
Speaker 4: two are the clear next two. But I don't know
Speaker 4: if you guys have seen you probably have, but if
Speaker 4: you've seen any of his past protection, Travion Henderson's past blocking,
Speaker 4: he has some I don't know, if you guys remember
Speaker 4: the MJD blowing up Sean Merriman years ago, he literally
Speaker 4: knocked him off his feet. Travion Henderson has some of that.
Speaker 4: So people look at Trevion and he's probably let's call
Speaker 4: him maybe the second or third lightest running back in
Speaker 4: the top ten. Uh, but he's a three down back.
Speaker 4: I mean, this guy can pass protect and an explosive.
Speaker 4: There's no question about past pass receiving, no question if
Speaker 4: you can block and pass, protect and catch, and you're explosive.
Speaker 4: I'll take that. So I'm I don't know which of
Speaker 4: those two i'd go with right now, but if they're
Speaker 4: two and three and it's not really close to four
Speaker 4: and five for.
Speaker 2: Me, I think you gave us a little tease on
Speaker 2: this and your your thought process so we can't use
Speaker 2: tyree kill. But give me a player that that you're
Speaker 2: really you're ready to get this player off your roster.
Speaker 2: Still may you may still have some trail on the tire,
Speaker 2: but he's not who you want on your dynasty roster.
Speaker 2: And then give us one that you'll be trying to
Speaker 2: acquire either through trade, through draft, or just through through
Speaker 2: blind luck.
Speaker 4: I'm done with Deebo Samuel. I mean, if he can't succeed,
Speaker 4: if he's asking out of San Francisco, which would be
Speaker 4: the best place for him to be successful, and he
Speaker 4: didn't have a very good year last year, I don't
Speaker 4: see it getting any better. But as far as a guy,
Speaker 4: I would like to pick up Ben Sennate. I think
Speaker 4: it's interesting if people don't remember Ben Sennate had the
Speaker 4: sixth fastest three come time of any position last year.
Speaker 4: He's an athlete. He's also caught that pass that was
Speaker 4: the fake punt in the in the playoff game against Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: They trust him, I mean, Earth's has been healthy and
Speaker 4: he's earned the right to be the first guy. But
Speaker 4: let's remember two years before he was leading the way
Speaker 4: over in Arizona, got hurt and then you know, Trey
Speaker 4: McBride came in and never looked back. Right. So, I
Speaker 4: don't know if it's is even coming back to Washington
Speaker 4: this year. He's a free agent. I think they'd like
Speaker 4: to have him back. I think he probably wants you know,
Speaker 4: ten plus million dollars, and they may or may not
Speaker 4: be willing to spend that. They do have the CAF
Speaker 4: space to do it. But if he comes back and
Speaker 4: gets hurt, Sin's gonna take that job and run away
Speaker 4: with it. If he doesn't come back, Sin's going to
Speaker 4: take that job and run away with it. At some point, Sin,
Speaker 4: it's going to be somebody you want on your team,
Speaker 4: and now you know now's the time to get him.
Speaker 4: You might get him for a third right now, maybe
Speaker 4: a late second. I don't know, but I want him
Speaker 4: everywhere I can get him, and I'll take him on
Speaker 4: every team. If I can get him on thirty teams,
Speaker 4: I'll have on all thirty.
Speaker 2: I like that, I like that I have a similar
Speaker 2: and he's not the kind of athlete, but I love
Speaker 2: him as a time in. And that's that's the the
Speaker 2: backup tight end with the Raiders. Meyer who's now entering
Speaker 2: into some trade talks or some new landing spot talks,
Speaker 2: and it just yeah, there's a lot. Don't give up
Speaker 2: on your guys that let you down a little bit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Sentinal only had five catches, but I'm still
Speaker 4: a believer.
Speaker 2: Well, when we talked him up strong too, we did.
Speaker 1: We did, absolutely, Jeff, let me throw this at you.
Speaker 1: As far as as long as we're talking about backup
Speaker 1: tight ends, Evan Ingram could be cut in Jacksonville, and
Speaker 1: if the Jaguars don't address that position in the draft,
Speaker 1: you would think Brenton Strange would be the starter. There,
Speaker 1: a guy who has achieved some pretty good weeks when
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram was out last year. Knowing the short benches
Speaker 1: in FFPC dynast leagues and knowing that every spot is
Speaker 1: at a premium, how do you fall in on Brenton
Speaker 1: Strange As far as leagues that you don't have them
Speaker 1: on in acquire or leagues that you do have him on,
Speaker 1: and whether he makes the cut when you have to
Speaker 1: cut down in the FFPC.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the that's the issue getting the sixteen by
Speaker 4: March thirty. First. I don't think I could keep him
Speaker 4: on a roster, most likely given the you know, the
Speaker 4: players I have on my teams. But he'd be the
Speaker 4: kind of guy around four or five sixty seven in
Speaker 4: the in the rookie draft that i'd like to see.
Speaker 4: If he's out there, I'd probably want to grab him
Speaker 4: back on some teams. I picked him up last year
Speaker 4: and there were a couple of weeks he was really good,
Speaker 4: and then right when I started to believe, he just
Speaker 4: went dark. I mean there were games where he didn't
Speaker 4: have a catch. I mean so I kind of had
Speaker 4: a mixed bag experience with him this year. But if
Speaker 4: I'm not mistake, he wasn't he a second round pick.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look that up right now. I think he
Speaker 1: was Day two. I don't know if he was second round.
Speaker 4: But he's in a pretty high draft choice. And you know,
Speaker 4: I don't know a lot about the guy, but I
Speaker 4: remember when he what do he have a ten or
Speaker 4: twelve catch game and really got my attention.
Speaker 1: I was wrong he was a second round pick. He
Speaker 1: was the sixty first pick of the twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: NFL draft out of Believe it or Not Penn State,
Speaker 1: which is because right on you Yes, basically, yeah.
Speaker 4: Now that's that. I think he's definitely someone I want
Speaker 4: to grab some shares for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, I would love to go another hour. Pharaoh
Speaker 1: would love to go another hour. We just don't have
Speaker 1: the time. And my wife is calling me right now
Speaker 1: because I got a daughter having a sleepover right now,
Speaker 1: and I guarantee it's like, hey, why are you not
Speaker 1: off the air yet? You need to put it. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing, Jeff, this was awesome tonight. You have been
Speaker 1: a guy who has not only achieved a dozen plus
Speaker 1: championships in the FFPC, but a lot of them in
Speaker 1: the Dynasty standpoint. If anybody wanted to pick your brain,
Speaker 1: are you on Twitter X? Are you like, is there
Speaker 1: is there any waiter for people to reach you?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I'm not very active on it, but I'd be
Speaker 4: happy to engage anyone that would want to reach out.
Speaker 4: I'm at Jeff Newton fourteen on.
Speaker 1: X Okay, Jeff Newton fourteen, I'm gonna post that here.
Speaker 1: We're gonna I'm gonna make sure that we're that we're
Speaker 1: following you, and make sure that anybody who has a
Speaker 1: dynasty fantasy football or just a general fantasy football question
Speaker 1: they could reach out and ask you as well be.
Speaker 4: Happy to help. I just love the engagement and that's
Speaker 4: what makes it great. So if I can be of help,
Speaker 4: I'd be happy to do it for sure.
Speaker 1: Jeff, I wish you nothing but best of luck in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Enjoy those rookie drafts. I know if
Speaker 1: you you have adjusted how you're handling them this coming year,
Speaker 1: so I wish you nothing but the best of luck
Speaker 1: in doing that in twenty twenty five. And don't be
Speaker 1: a stranger. Hopefully we'll get to do another show with
Speaker 1: you again very very soon. This was so much fun tonight, Ferrell.
