Speaker 1: We have a lot to unpack as we are less
Speaker 1: than two hours away two hours, two weeks away from
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft in glorious Green Bay, Wisconsin. There might
Speaker 1: be some pundits out there. One in particular, who I
Speaker 1: will not name because I respect his work and I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's been to Green Bay before. I
Speaker 1: don't know he's ever been to Green Bay seems to
Speaker 1: go out of his way on all of his shows
Speaker 1: to trash green Bay, trash the people of green Bay,
Speaker 1: trash the city of green Bay. I've been there many
Speaker 1: a time. Granted I live in Appleton, Wisconsin, which is
Speaker 1: about two Jordan Love Hail Mary Throws southwest of green Bay.
Speaker 1: I love it here. I think it's great. I think
Speaker 1: the draft is going to be fun. I've already made
Speaker 1: plans to go to it all three days, Thursday, Friday,
Speaker 1: and Saturday, bringing my son up for all three days,
Speaker 1: hanging out with some friends up there. It's gonna be legendary.

Speaker 1: And if that gentleman or anybody else's trash in Green Bay.
Speaker 1: And I hate to make this, I hate to bring
Speaker 1: this up on the show, to lead it off all
Speaker 1: the time, but if you've never been to Green Bay, probably.
Speaker 2: Don't trash it.
Speaker 1: Probably experience at first, and then give your honest opinion,
Speaker 1: and if it sucks for you, then it sucks for you.
Speaker 1: But I like it here. I think it's great and
Speaker 1: I'm not going to trash it. I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun my two cents. Everybody else

Speaker 1: in tonight, Farrell, A good Friday evening to you. Just
Speaker 1: think two weeks from now, we're going to see running
Speaker 1: back landscapes around the NFL torched by all the teams
Speaker 1: that are going to be drafting second and third round
Speaker 1: running backs in the draft in Green Bay coming up.
Speaker 1: How are you tonight, man.
Speaker 2: I'm doing really well. I enjoyed your comments about the
Speaker 2: draft and you said something like, I won't be negative
Speaker 2: about the draft or something. Why are you hearing some
Speaker 2: pushback in the Green Bay area about the draft or
Speaker 2: you're not welcome?
Speaker 1: No, Like I was talking with, I ran into the
Speaker 1: local radio station I work at. We have six radio
Speaker 1: stations in the megaplex in the building, and that Wasaplex
Speaker 1: the Megaplex.
Speaker 2: Impressed.
Speaker 1: I was talking with one of the DJs from our
Speaker 1: hard rock station and he said, are you pumped up
Speaker 1: for the draft? And I said, well, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff I got going on for the draft, a
Speaker 1: lot of responsibilities. I'll be glad when it's over, but
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to experiencing it. I've been at
Speaker 1: the draft in Chicago twice, but I said, like, I
Speaker 1: kind of want it to be over and he said, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's kind of the feeling I'm getting right now because
Speaker 1: everybody in northeast Wisconsin. Pharrell has been going hard on
Speaker 1: the planning and making sure everybody who is coming here
Speaker 1: is going to be welcomed and is going to have
Speaker 1: a great time, and it is stressful. But what I
Speaker 1: think like that the pushback I've got from some national
Speaker 1: people who may or not even be coming to Green
Speaker 1: Bay are kind of like, yeah, why would you ever
Speaker 1: go to Green Bay to watch the NFL Draft. I'm
Speaker 1: going to go watch it somewhere else. And I think
Speaker 1: it's weird. I think it's a weird thing to say.
Speaker 2: Chuck Root would be there our guest tonight, Chuck Root
Speaker 2: shows up. Whenever football is happening, Chuck Root's there. So
Speaker 2: you know that that's a good thing. The whole family
Speaker 2: is like that, Amber and the whole family. I'm kind
Speaker 2: of like the Mall Santa Claus. You know, when it
Speaker 2: comes to the draft. I love the Draft. I I
Speaker 2: really do want to want it to get over, just
Speaker 2: like mal Santa wants Christmas to get over. You know,
Speaker 2: you start talking to to the ball players, all they
Speaker 2: want to talk about is the draft, and then is
Speaker 2: training for the draft and get ready for the pro
Speaker 2: day and hopefully move through the draft. Where are you
Speaker 2: going to go? In the last two weeks before it,
Speaker 2: that's when the family gets really involved. You know, what
Speaker 2: are you hearing?
Speaker 4: What do you know?
Speaker 2: And boy, I tell you there's nobody more tired than
Speaker 2: the scouts. And really, yeah, the Scouts rolled into Louisville
Speaker 2: to give you an idea and there were twenty five
Speaker 2: athletes that showed up for pro Day.
Speaker 4: So what do you do?
Speaker 2: You've got to write them or you've got to separate them.
Speaker 2: Do you think Louisville has twenty five NFL prospects? Maybe four?
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's not twenty five.
Speaker 2: Like I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look at through my through my red
Speaker 1: and white colored goggles, and I don't I can get
Speaker 1: the twenty five pair. I love.
Speaker 2: I love the way we're talking tonight because you know,
Speaker 2: it's kind of like watching a Guyzilla movie when you
Speaker 2: start talking to the words come out. You know that's cover.
Speaker 2: It's but yeah, because and you know when the scouts
Speaker 2: will start on the twenty twenty sixth draft, they've already started. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: but about about four to five days after.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right.
Speaker 2: About four or five days after they'll be back on
Speaker 2: the road at the twenty twenty sixth draft. So draft
Speaker 2: kind of never ends, it never ends. But the culmination
Speaker 2: of this one will be in Green Bay, and I
Speaker 2: can't think of a better place because it's close to
Speaker 2: Balkey and that's you know, that's where James Hicks and
Speaker 2: all our listeners. Hey, uh, you know Rubio says he
Speaker 2: joined his first off or IF and you know he's
Speaker 2: he's like me in fantasy. We don't have the lingo down.
Speaker 2: He adopted his first orphan, you know. That's that's that's
Speaker 2: the proper lingo there. And Stevens is here tonight from
Speaker 2: up in New York. And you know we've got a
Speaker 2: great crew. James Hicks, I wonder where Christian is probably
Speaker 2: hung over from there's.
Speaker 1: We'll get we'll get Oinker in here for James Sticks
Speaker 1: like hanging out with us.
Speaker 2: I love those guys so much from Team Porky's and
Speaker 2: a great affection for Ainker that I've actually given up
Speaker 2: consuming pork Oh. Wow, list many.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to judge you for any religious
Speaker 1: police Paraoh, but it is lent right now.
Speaker 2: So no, it's it's I'm off pork year round, year round.
Speaker 1: Okay, I I want to get into the show tonight.
Speaker 1: And and here's the thing. Sometimes things come up prior
Speaker 1: to when I when I build the rundown, and stuff
Speaker 1: slips through the cracks. Friday night news dump we had
Speaker 1: one tonight about eight o'clock Eastern time. We found out
Speaker 1: from Ian Rapaport that Derek Carr is believed quote unquote
Speaker 1: to have suffered a significant injury in his throwing shoulder
Speaker 1: during last season. Now, in weeks fifteen through eighteen, Carr
Speaker 1: was listed as a having a left hand injury. He
Speaker 1: is a right handed thrower, but he was listed as
Speaker 1: a left hand injury. But there was no mention the
Speaker 1: last month of the year of any kind of throwing shoulder,
Speaker 1: throwing arm issue. Rapaport is kind of if you read
Speaker 1: between the lines, there's obviously more to this story. Carr
Speaker 1: is contemplating surgery farll right now on April eleventh, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. And I think I have to bring this
Speaker 1: up because this kind of changes, at least the way
Speaker 1: we're thinking about how the Saints are handling the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: It's obviously changing the way we think about Chris Olabe.
Speaker 1: It's changing the way we think about Rashid Shihed, who
Speaker 1: was coming off an injury of his own, and it's
Speaker 1: changing the way we think about the running game and
Speaker 1: any potential pass catchers that the Saints might be drafting,
Speaker 1: or quite frankly, a new quarterback that might be drafted
Speaker 1: in the first round, second round here tonight, who could
Speaker 1: be the heir apparent to Derek Carr. This kind of
Speaker 1: caught me off guard, my initial reaction because I haven't
Speaker 1: had time to delve into it right now. Farrell is,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of avoiding Saints. I'm kind of hoping that
Speaker 1: nobody that I like in the NFL draft goes to
Speaker 1: New Orleans is being drafted by New Orleans. I really
Speaker 1: want to avoid this dumpster fire right now. Maybe there's
Speaker 1: value in alave Man, there's value in Camara Juwan Johnson
Speaker 1: obviously in FFPC tight end premium leagues right now, But
Speaker 1: quite frankly, my initial reaction is until I know more,
Speaker 1: I'm staying away in beastball leagues, the kfff C leagues.
Speaker 1: I'm drafting it right now. How do you feel about
Speaker 1: the situation.
Speaker 2: Hmm, well, we'll know more about it soon. But you know, Rubo,
Speaker 2: maybe right, this could be a smoke screen. Well, Evio
Speaker 2: uh Rivio is really hitting it good because because Ian
Speaker 2: always likes to get himself in the news. You know,
Speaker 2: he wants to he wants to be the first who knows?
Speaker 2: But yeah, well who they got in the quarterback room? Balky,
Speaker 2: who's in the room down there?
Speaker 1: If you were in remember Pharah. Last year we had
Speaker 1: five quarterbacks I want to say, drafted in the like
Speaker 1: the first half of the first round with Caleb Williams,
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, Bo Nicks, Michael Pennix, and JJ McCarthy. We
Speaker 1: did not see another quarterback drafted until the fifth round.
Speaker 1: That fifth round pick went to New Orleans and he
Speaker 1: was one Spencer Rattler. He was the next Carolina to
Speaker 1: South Carolina by way of Oklahoma. And he was the
Speaker 1: next quarterback that was drafted after those big five were selected.
Speaker 1: Came into a few games last year, started a few
Speaker 1: games for New Orleans and I would say results are
Speaker 1: maybe as expected or maybe less than expected, but that's
Speaker 1: who they got in their quarterback room right now. Is
Speaker 1: the next guy at Rattler unless they signed somebody Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers obviously out there. Kirk Cousins potentially could be an
Speaker 1: option for New Orleans. Other than that, they might be
Speaker 1: looking for a new guy to pair with Spencer Ratler
Speaker 1: going forward. I really don't know what they're gonna do.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of a big Rattler fan. Always had been, well,
Speaker 2: we'll see, let's just put let's put that one on
Speaker 2: the shelf, because.
Speaker 1: We will will put a pin in that because it's
Speaker 1: so fresh and we don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: As as Rubia points out, this may be a fugazi,
Speaker 1: you know, distract us away with what's going on.
Speaker 2: When you have talented pass catchers like a Lave when
Speaker 2: he came into the league. I said to you, Bulky,
Speaker 2: I said, Buck, he is the most professional NFL ready
Speaker 2: wide receiver. And then you think about some of the
Speaker 2: better players in each draft at certain positions, guys like Buyers.
Speaker 2: How many how many catches Buyers last year?
Speaker 1: One hundred and four?
Speaker 2: I want to say, how many quarterbacks?
Speaker 4: Four or five?
Speaker 2: At least four? You know, it's so you take that
Speaker 2: elite receiver. I hope everyone does, uh decide that a
Speaker 2: Lave is is not desired in this current a d P,
Speaker 2: as reported by Darren ARMANI and uh because at that
Speaker 2: point in time, that's that's when I will go out
Speaker 2: try to grab some of lave. And you know, you
Speaker 2: talk about rookie quarterbacks. I spoke with a very very
Speaker 2: good player, very successful player in fantasy football, and he said,
Speaker 2: you know, last year I had Williams and Richardson on
Speaker 2: several teams together. And he says, I had a rough year. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you know, those same guys this year could deliver
Speaker 2: a really good year.
Speaker 1: I want to bring up Joe Flacco, who was in
Speaker 1: the news Appareland because he apparently has signed a one year,
Speaker 1: four million dollar deal according to ESPN's Adam Schefter with
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. He is going to have a chance
Speaker 1: to earn up to thirteen million dollars this year. He
Speaker 1: is turning forty years young this season. Six games did
Speaker 1: he start for the Colts last year? Just over seventeen
Speaker 1: hundred yards, twelve touchdowns and seven picks, sixty five percent
Speaker 1: completion percentage. And this is a player who's going to
Speaker 1: go back in this Kevin Stetanski's offense. This is an
Speaker 1: offense that he won Comeback Player of the Year a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and he only has one Kenny
Speaker 1: Pickett to beat out as of right now. We'll see
Speaker 1: what Cleveland does in the draft, because they could come
Speaker 1: away with Shagar Sanders or somebody else here. But Pharaoh,
Speaker 1: what do you make of this signing by the Browns
Speaker 1: this close to the draft, but still prior to the draft.
Speaker 1: What does it mean? What should we be doing? Should
Speaker 1: we be changing anything in the way we think about
Speaker 1: David and Joku, Jerry Judy and the other Cleveland Brown
Speaker 1: skill position players based on this signing by the Browns
Speaker 1: to get Flacco in, who honestly is probably the most
Speaker 1: accomplished quarterback they got in the quarterback room.
Speaker 2: Right now, you know we're going to see more of this.
Speaker 2: You you asked me to direct question, so before I
Speaker 2: start babbling along here, I'll answer your question. If you're
Speaker 2: already dependent on quarterback talent to elevate your Cleveland Browns,
Speaker 2: your drafting already making a big mistake. So there you are.
Speaker 2: We're going to see more of this type of thing,
Speaker 2: and it's very much transfer portal related. And I forgive
Speaker 2: me if we talked about this last week, But it's
Speaker 2: very much on my mind, especially with the one and
Speaker 2: done quarterbacks that will be coming in in college football,
Speaker 2: even in the most sophisticated offenses, you've got to dumb
Speaker 2: that down just because you don't have time to put
Speaker 2: it in. And so consequently, these guys are less ready
Speaker 2: for the NFL, these young quarterbacks that we're going to
Speaker 2: see the old guys hanging around for a while. And
Speaker 2: I think that's what we have here is you've got
Speaker 2: to have somebody in the building that no matter what
Speaker 2: you do, that you can rely on the start games
Speaker 2: and try to win. Try to go five hundred for
Speaker 2: you which is what you want to back up quarterback,
Speaker 2: Try to go five hundred and you know for the
Speaker 2: Browns that might be a step up. John Anderson, Yeah,
Speaker 2: great FFFPC player and k FFFC player, A terrific fan
Speaker 2: of football.
Speaker 1: He was.
Speaker 2: He was very excited. That's the news I woke up,
Speaker 2: you know with Flacoh. He said, we got flack Oh back,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: And you need accomplished quarterbacks like that playing against the Ravens,
Speaker 1: playing you know, he has Bengals.
Speaker 2: John Anderson hasn't missed a home Browns game in like
Speaker 2: twenty five years. Good for him.
Speaker 1: No badge of courage. Badge of courage right there. I
Speaker 1: want to touch on one rookie thing before we get
Speaker 1: the Chuck route. Who is waiting in the green room
Speaker 1: right now, dining on some caviare and some and some
Speaker 1: steak tartar that we put back there, o'marion Hampton is.
Speaker 1: Yesterday Farrell met with the New York Giants for a
Speaker 1: pre draft visit. This according to Art Stapleton, Omari and
Speaker 1: Hampton stands at six foot two and twenty pounds at
Speaker 1: the NFL Scouting Combine, his athletic score was really really good,
Speaker 1: and obviously when he was at North Carolina had a
Speaker 1: really really good career there as well. In his final
Speaker 1: season with the tar Heels, sixteen hundred plus yards fifteen touchdowns,
Speaker 1: he forced seventy three miss tackles and did not fumble
Speaker 1: the ball one time. Forty three targets he caught all
Speaker 1: but five of them for three hundred and seventy three yards,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and forced eight miss tackles on that as well.
Speaker 1: The Giants meeting with him, I think should should send
Speaker 1: shivers up the spine for Tyrone Tracy owners out there.
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on Mario Mario Hampton
Speaker 1: the player. Matt Walden, Matt Waldman from Football Guys Rookie
Speaker 1: Scouting Portfolio came out with his rankings and granted he said,
Speaker 1: you know, he'll adjust, and he always does adjust after
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, but right now he has Mario and
Speaker 1: Hampton outside his top ten if I'm remembering correctly, for
Speaker 1: running backs in this year's class, how do you view Hampton.
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of his and I think there's
Speaker 1: a probably better than fifty fifty shot barrel in my opinion,
Speaker 1: that he goes within the top fifteen picks of the
Speaker 1: draft in less than two weeks.
Speaker 2: I agree. He's the kind of running back that teams
Speaker 2: can can count on to do all the things that
Speaker 2: you mentioned. He's good, size, has been largely injury free,
Speaker 2: and a tremendous senior year, and from my from the
Speaker 2: word I'm getting, he's a very very good interview within
Speaker 2: the teams. Of course, the Giants they have to go
Speaker 2: hit a home run running back, you know, the way
Speaker 2: they can look back on it and say, well, this
Speaker 2: is kind of what we planned, you know, you know
Speaker 2: when we let our when we left Tae kwono. You know,
Speaker 2: we knew that, we knew that the twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: A draft class was deep and we would find our
Speaker 2: future guy. And you know, so, yeah, they they've got
Speaker 2: the most to gain and the biggest catch up to do.
Speaker 2: So if they believe in him, that's a good sound This.
Speaker 1: You know what would be wild here, And I think
Speaker 1: this is what what throws a monkey wrench into it.
Speaker 1: The Giants pick three overall. They're not considering a Marii Hampton,
Speaker 1: Marion Hampton at three. They're considering guys like Shader Sanders,
Speaker 1: guys like Travis Hunter, guys like Abdul Carter. Those are
Speaker 1: the players they're considering at three. They don't pick again
Speaker 1: until the second round, which is thirty fourth overall, which
Speaker 1: would mean if they're interviewing Hampton, it's got to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: we might trade back up into the first round to
Speaker 1: grab this guy, but there's a non zero chance that
Speaker 1: he won't be there Pharaoh. And I think that's what's
Speaker 1: so compelling about this Hampton visit with the Giants, because
Speaker 1: it doesn't strike me as a good pairing as far
Speaker 1: as draft value, draft capital and where this team is
Speaker 1: drafting here.
Speaker 2: I think what that's most compelling thing about the opening
Speaker 2: round of the draft is the team's jockey and for
Speaker 2: positions with trading, that's what's And you know, there's certain
Speaker 2: analysts that really get it that, they really get it
Speaker 2: right when they say, hey, this is why they're doing that,
Speaker 2: and it makes it it fun to watch. And then
Speaker 2: there's other guys that are just sort of clueless.
Speaker 1: Like me.
Speaker 2: You know, you've got to terrest your radio station.
Speaker 1: I know I'm hamstrung a little bit that you are
Speaker 1: you are. I am Eric Balkman, and I am not
Speaker 1: tonight's guest on the show, but I'm going to bring
Speaker 1: him in right now. We're going to tell you who
Speaker 1: he is. This is a guy who has eight FFPC
Speaker 1: league titles to his name. This is a guy who
Speaker 1: won a half million dollars just a couple of short
Speaker 1: years ago in the FFPC. Uh known. I believe most
Speaker 1: of his teams are buff Chicken. You've probably seen him
Speaker 1: in your leagues. You've probably seen him at the top
Speaker 1: of the leaderboards, top of the standings in your leagues
Speaker 1: over the years, and he's here to to spend some knowledge,
Speaker 1: not only on redraft uh commentary, but also how he's
Speaker 1: handling his Dynasty team in the FFPC as well. Please
Speaker 1: welcome back onto the show, mister Chuck Charles.
Speaker 2: Thanks for driving us.
Speaker 4: Thank you very much for having me. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Thank you so good to have you.
Speaker 1: I want you to explain once again for the for
Speaker 1: the listeners, the viewers, and quite frankly myself, because I
Speaker 1: forgot the Buff Chicken team name. Where did this come from?
Speaker 4: Well, and actually the name came from my son. Actually
Speaker 4: we were camping and I was wearing a Foghorn Leghorn
Speaker 4: shirt and he couldn't remember what the name was, and
Speaker 4: he said, who's that? What's that Buff Chicken guy's name?
Speaker 4: This kind of stuff?
Speaker 1: Buff Chicken? Oh, because Foghorn Leghorn a very imposing cartoon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, so Chicken.
Speaker 1: There was one There was one time. I know nobody
Speaker 1: cares about this, but I'm going to share it anyway.
Speaker 1: I was sitting at work with the Dizzle f FPC
Speaker 1: co founder Dave Gerzek. We were going back and forth
Speaker 1: on we brought up Foghorn Leghorn for no reason, and
Speaker 1: I and you know, once you follow on the rabbit hole,
Speaker 1: you got it you gotta keep going. And so I
Speaker 1: was googling best Foghorn leghorn, you know, cliches or expressions
Speaker 1: or whatever, all the things he said, and the one
Speaker 1: that got us, and I like, it won't get us tonight.
Speaker 1: You guys will chuckle at this, you won't laugh hard.
Speaker 1: But he was talking with Foghorn Leghorn was talking with
Speaker 1: like the farmhouse dog. I don't know what his name was,
Speaker 1: but yeah, he got beaten up. He had like bruises
Speaker 1: and bumps all over his body, and he was kind
Speaker 1: of like limping walking towards Foghorn Leghorn, and Foggrnon Leghorn
Speaker 1: is talking to the like the young chick or whatever,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he stops talking to the
Speaker 1: chicken and he turns the dog and he said, he said, boy,
Speaker 1: what happened to you? You look about three miles of
Speaker 1: bad road. I mean, it's the most foghorn leghorn thing ever.
Speaker 1: So hilarious. Again, I know no one cares, but I
Speaker 1: still to this day every time, and I googled it,
Speaker 1: I went on YouTube to watch it. It's so hilarious.
Speaker 1: Fog Horn Leghorn legendary, and he's not he's not on
Speaker 1: the Mount Rushmore truck of cartoon characters, but he's the
Speaker 1: next step down three.
Speaker 2: Miles of the Bulky would be a good team name. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna add that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna add that right now.
Speaker 2: Be a good team. I like what Chuck Root's doing.
Speaker 2: He's d aging, he gets younger every time he comes
Speaker 2: on the show. And Dom Gazette he's talking about our sweatshirts.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Uh, we have a frost warning here in Kentucky to
Speaker 2: that that's how weird.
Speaker 4: This whole We had snow today, but it's buffalo so.
Speaker 1: Well you all, yeah, I mean that's that's that's par
Speaker 1: for the course. I just I feel like, and it's
Speaker 1: it's forty five degrees here in Appleton, so it's not Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not warm up. But I pretty much
Speaker 1: wear a hoodie year round. I'm just comfortable in it.
Speaker 4: So I thought that I thought that was the dress code,
Speaker 4: so you know, yeah, no it is.
Speaker 1: It is like like hat, hoodie shorts, like I'm good. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's probably I'll be wearing to the draft in a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. As I'm excited to head up on
Speaker 1: up to Green Bay two guys, Chuck as we kick
Speaker 1: off our interview here tonight. Two guys that were drafted
Speaker 1: high in the draft in twenty twenty four and twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three are Marvin Harrison and a tight end for
Speaker 1: your Buffalo Bills, Dalton Kincaid. If I was to say, hey,
Speaker 1: one of these guys is going to bounce back in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five from a lackluster twenty four season, who
Speaker 1: do you think is most likely between those two Harrison
Speaker 1: and Kinkaid to have a bounce back season this year.
Speaker 4: Well, I actually love him both. I think they both
Speaker 4: are But if you had to pick one, I would
Speaker 4: say Harrison. I mean the way that he was drafted,
Speaker 4: you know that high to be the man, and I
Speaker 4: think Kyler Murray's going to figure it out that he
Speaker 4: has to be the man. And I think working with
Speaker 4: McBride is like it's perfect combination, one guy deep, one
Speaker 4: guy underneath. So I think he's gonna have a big year.
Speaker 4: But at the same time, Kincaid, I think last year
Speaker 4: he was just injured and if he comes back healthy,
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be what everybody thought he
Speaker 4: was going to be last year.
Speaker 2: I'm thrilled to see the Diesel in here. You know,
Speaker 2: when you get a guess like you, Chuck rud on
Speaker 2: the show. We want to ask some questions. I want
Speaker 2: to give as many of them that as I can.
Speaker 2: I want to I want to educate myself. Here's two
Speaker 2: players that have always given me a little bit of confusion.
Speaker 2: One's a young player and one is, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: a middling vet as we move forward. One that I
Speaker 2: will roma Dunza, who's currently the five nine and the
Speaker 2: FFPC and never too early ADP. I traded this player
Speaker 2: in Dynasty this week and acquired T Higgins. We talked
Speaker 2: so much about T Higgins. I don't have T Higgins anywhere,
Speaker 2: so I gave up a Dounza who has been an
Speaker 2: impressive draft pick. On last year. Dj Moore in er
Speaker 2: the league amongst Dynasty drafters as a very high draft pick.
Speaker 2: DJ Moore is at the four to oh one. I'm
Speaker 2: just going to ask you straight up, Chuck, which one
Speaker 2: would you prefer to have on your team? Is four
Speaker 2: to oh one being over paid for more? Is a
Speaker 2: DONA a value pick or is this about where they
Speaker 2: should be?
Speaker 4: I think it's about where they should be at this point.
Speaker 4: I mean, I like DJ moh I always have, but
Speaker 4: I mean, you know what you're going to get with him.
Speaker 4: He's going to be consistent and if you're and Redraft,
Speaker 4: I think you know he's He's the way to go.
Speaker 4: But Dunsa is explosive. I think we're talking big playability.
Speaker 4: He's more. I'd pushed for a best ball, especially getting
Speaker 4: a too almost a two round value on him. I
Speaker 4: think I think that's the difference between the two. It's
Speaker 4: like the consistency with More, but the big plays with
Speaker 4: the Dunes.
Speaker 2: I think in my Dynasty league, did I have to
Speaker 2: make the right move of duns for Higgins.
Speaker 4: I think I'd rather be on the dun side. M
Speaker 4: h that I really do.
Speaker 2: I just looked at those double digit targets to Higgins
Speaker 2: last year and I could not resist.
Speaker 4: Right now, I hear it, I hear it.
Speaker 1: I just regarding that that conversation Donsay and Higgins, what
Speaker 1: have you? I think More is gonna be the still
Speaker 1: the lead guy this year. There's a lot of people
Speaker 1: out there, and Chuck, you probably run into these people
Speaker 1: in your Dynasty League that believe that, like, hey, this
Speaker 1: is this is the sophomore pick up right. This is
Speaker 1: the step Foard that a Don is gonna make. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy. This is the guy with the
Speaker 1: draft capital, and obviously with Ben Johnson in there, he's
Speaker 1: going to get that offense right. And I do think
Speaker 1: o'doonsay does take a step forward. I still think the
Speaker 1: guy who's going to have the better season for Chicago
Speaker 1: is DJ Moore. Now, when you bring in draft capital
Speaker 1: into this, am I willing to pay in the never
Speaker 1: too early best ball tournament around and a half of
Speaker 1: draft capital to get Dj Moore? It's very very close
Speaker 1: right over Odoonsay. I will say that in the KFF seed,
Speaker 1: one of the best ball teams I'm in right now, Pharrell,
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity. I was deciding between Chris Godwin
Speaker 1: and Roma Dounza at the six to OHO one, obviously
Speaker 1: in a wide receiver heavy format, and I couldn't quit
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin because I don't think he's gonna have a
Speaker 1: massive season. So it pained me. I wanted both of them,
Speaker 1: I couldn't draft both of them, so I took Godwin Odoonsay. Obviously,
Speaker 1: since went, I think both these guys more Godwin Odoonza
Speaker 1: are all in for big seasons. I lean towards more
Speaker 1: having the big season. But Chuck, this is why we
Speaker 1: asked you the tough questions because when you bring draft cap,
Speaker 1: it'll into it. God, I don't know which which one
Speaker 1: I'd rather have at that point, right, And that's what.
Speaker 2: Questions for us, Bulky. But Chuck doesn't see any issues.
Speaker 4: Well, no like redraft like more like I said, dude,
Speaker 4: at this point.
Speaker 1: And let me ask you about the Buffalo Bills here, Chuck,
Speaker 1: James Cook carried me to a couple of Dynasty championships
Speaker 1: last year. Loved it, but the I look back on it,
Speaker 1: touchdowns are not a sticky stat and part of the
Speaker 1: reason James Cook was awesome in twenty twenty four was
Speaker 1: all those touchdowns that he had. Now there's some consternation
Speaker 1: between the franchise and James Cook's management about getting a
Speaker 1: long term deal there. They already drafted Ray Davis last year,
Speaker 1: so certainly they have somebody to step up if if
Speaker 1: Cook holds out, or if they can't get something done
Speaker 1: with Cooke, or maybe he's traded. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. What's your current level of concern with
Speaker 1: James Cook right now? If you have him in a
Speaker 1: dynasty league, is this a guy that you should be
Speaker 1: slepping to somebody else? Is this a guy that is
Speaker 1: you know, we're doing the Mel Gibson Brave Heart Hold
Speaker 1: or not Brave Heart? Was it Brave Heart?
Speaker 2: I can't remember me he was in Brave Heart. I
Speaker 2: know he's in Braveheart, but.
Speaker 1: I think it was Braveheart where he's like, hold, hold
Speaker 1: are we holding James Cook right now? Chuck?
Speaker 2: What are you doing? I say a girl is trying
Speaker 2: to sell her cars on TV? Another thing?
Speaker 4: Gotcha? Got now? I Cook scares me. He scares me
Speaker 4: a lot. I think his demands are too high, you know,
Speaker 4: just the word around town here. You know, he put
Speaker 4: his house up for sale, which could mean nothing because
Speaker 4: he could just be looking for a different house, but
Speaker 4: the whole idea of the money that he wants, just
Speaker 4: the way the bills operate, I mean, I could totally
Speaker 4: see one of those situations where he holds out a
Speaker 4: little bit. He still gets a contract right before the
Speaker 4: season starts. But you know, then you're talking possible injury
Speaker 4: concern things like that. He's someone that I have infant
Speaker 4: and dynasty and I've tried to get rid of him already.
Speaker 4: I've been trying to, you know, work around, try to
Speaker 4: get some high draft picks for him. Nothing. You know,
Speaker 4: nothing's happened for me yet. But you know, I'm not
Speaker 4: going to give him away. But he scares me. Plus
Speaker 4: I have Ray Davis behind him, so that guy.
Speaker 2: So what do you think about Ray Davis? Can Ray
Speaker 2: Davis be the kind of back that carries the rock
Speaker 2: the time for the Bills?
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that if if they were to
Speaker 4: make a move on Cook, I think they'd be bringing
Speaker 4: somebody else in. I mean, I think they drafted ray
Speaker 4: Davis to be there if they needed him. But I
Speaker 4: don't know if he's going to be a total you
Speaker 4: know Belkow type of type.
Speaker 2: Of back, Balky. Can I ask a real quick question,
Speaker 2: fire away Khalil Shakir dog joke, I liked.
Speaker 4: I like Saki a lot. I really do. I think
Speaker 4: he's impressive. I mean, he's not gonna put up the
Speaker 4: huge numbers, but I.
Speaker 2: Mean he's gonna be got to have some numbers, Chuck.
Speaker 2: He gonna get your.
Speaker 4: Five six catches a game, you know, eighty yards whatever,
Speaker 4: Throw a touchdown in there. We'll take that every week
Speaker 4: as far as that goes. But you know, he's definitely
Speaker 4: the guy.
Speaker 2: And at this time I'm looking for the hundred catch
Speaker 2: season all on.
Speaker 1: So let's do this. Let's do this. Let's do Chuck
Speaker 1: Root doing a an over under on Shakir and and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the over under. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you the stats that he put up last year. Chuck,
Speaker 1: tell me what he does in twenty twenty five. Last
Speaker 1: year he had seventy six catches twenty twenty five over
Speaker 1: under seventy six.
Speaker 4: He's gonna go over that over the last.
Speaker 1: Year, eight hundred and twenty one yards receiving over and
Speaker 1: under that in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: Five, I'd have to go over that as well.
Speaker 1: So last year four touchdowns over and under.
Speaker 4: I can see that kind of being the same. But probably,
Speaker 4: I mean, if we're going catches going yard, it's going
Speaker 4: to go over. I guess we'll go over everything.
Speaker 1: So Chuck Root is saying over seventy six catches over
Speaker 1: eight hundred and twenty one yards over four touchdowns. You
Speaker 1: heard it here first, Chuck Roots saying, Khalil Shakir, MVP
Speaker 1: of the NFL.
Speaker 4: Inact, I was gonna say, I was gonna say, if
Speaker 4: they draft a wide receiver, then I want I might
Speaker 4: want to change a little bit.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: You know what ithing is? What is down? I wrote that.
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: So can we get a never too early best ball
Speaker 2: value from uh.
Speaker 1: Darren MMONI?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Is mojo?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Mojo? So can we get a Mojo on Shakir? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Can we compare that to Pittman? You know, I just
Speaker 2: gotta get Pittman in the conversations quarterbacking for Pitman there caah,
Speaker 2: we compare that to Pittman.
Speaker 1: Yes, we get all right. So right now, Khalil Shakir
Speaker 1: is going off at the eight oh one. This is
Speaker 1: right right behind Juwan Jennings and Deebo Samuels, right ahead
Speaker 1: of Jacoby Myers and Ricky Piersal. Khalil Shakir wide receiver
Speaker 1: thirty eight. If we go to Michael Pittman wide receiver
Speaker 1: fifty three eleven ten behind McMillan, Jalen McMillan and Christian Kirk,
Speaker 1: ahead of Rashid Shaheed and Darnell Mooney. So you're looking
Speaker 1: at what almost four rounds separating these.
Speaker 2: Twos, and I we'll just point out that Pittman is
Speaker 2: put up better than those numbers that Shakir did last
Speaker 2: year largely every year.
Speaker 4: So but who's who's gonna throw the ball to him?
Speaker 2: That's a good question. And he's done it with the
Speaker 2: people that have thrown the ball with him, and I
Speaker 2: love Shakir, but he's done it with one of the
Speaker 2: best quarterbacks in the league. So let's move on to
Speaker 2: hold on.
Speaker 1: Before we move on, Farrell, there is a non zero
Speaker 1: chance that the best quarterback who have thrown balls to
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman this year just signed with the Cleveland Brown.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it happened, but there's not.
Speaker 2: You have a good retire and just go to forming.
Speaker 2: You know, fantasy players are ready for him. You know,
Speaker 2: he's kind of like the green acres of the football careers.
Speaker 1: I know, Ferrell, you're gonna ask about Deebo Samuel in
Speaker 1: a second. But before we do that, just the last
Speaker 1: thing on Shakir, all these things you mentioned the over
Speaker 1: on all this, Chuck, does that mean you're down on
Speaker 1: Kean Coleman.
Speaker 4: See, that's the thing. He's the wild card I think
Speaker 4: in the in the whole, you know, the whole aspect
Speaker 4: of how well Shakira does. I mean drafting him, they
Speaker 4: I mean they drafted him for a reason. You know,
Speaker 4: they were big on him. It looked like him and
Speaker 4: him and Allen had could report early on, but just
Speaker 4: what you know, injuries kind of held him back. It
Speaker 4: will be interesting interested to see what type of game
Speaker 4: plan they come out with. But I think that he's
Speaker 4: got to be used more. I mean, they have to
Speaker 4: have that downfield threat. They have to have, you know,
Speaker 4: that big body who's going to go get the ball,
Speaker 4: you know when they need it. So I mean I
Speaker 4: could see, you know, a good year out of out
Speaker 4: of him, but catchwise, secure is still going to.
Speaker 2: Be not for nothing. Fellows. They let Mac Collins hit
Speaker 2: the road and Mac mac took some reception yards and
Speaker 2: touchdowns with him. It could be a thing.
Speaker 1: But they did add Palmer for what it's worth. And
Speaker 1: I like Palmer this year too.
Speaker 4: When he's healthy.
Speaker 2: When he's healthy, and when health, I think he's gonna
Speaker 2: get cold too.
Speaker 4: Yeah cold Deebo.
Speaker 2: Samuel never gets cold. Although this question I was going
Speaker 2: to ask is beginning to however, what's it gonna look
Speaker 2: like in Washington? Who's he going to help? Is he
Speaker 2: gonna help Deebo. Samuel is going to help a young quarterback.
Speaker 2: What's he going to do?
Speaker 4: I mean, he can't be worse than than he was
Speaker 4: last year, right, yeah, oh yes he can. Well again,
Speaker 4: I guess no. I mean I think it's a plus
Speaker 4: for Daniels.
Speaker 2: Rubio is on fire tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, time again and listen a young Cole Beasley.
Speaker 2: That's soff done you guys.
Speaker 4: PPR. That's all PPR. It's a shock. Yeah, that's right
Speaker 4: with Divo though, I mean, I think it's gonna help Daniels.
Speaker 4: I mean, give him another another threat, another you know,
Speaker 4: competent receiver to throw to. But also you know, with
Speaker 4: Daniel's big playability with his feet, you know, maybe getting
Speaker 4: out of pocket, making some plays that way. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's gonna be interested to see what Kingsbury can do
Speaker 4: with him. I still think McLaurin is the guy to have.
Speaker 4: But you know, like I said, can't get too much
Speaker 4: worse than for Debo.
Speaker 2: So well, wait a minute, because we're talking an eighth
Speaker 2: round draft.
Speaker 4: Pick here, right, I'm not touching him that early. I mean,
Speaker 4: I have him in Dynasty, and you know I could
Speaker 4: live with that, but I think there's other guys in
Speaker 4: that range that I'd rather have that you mentioned before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's seven or nine right now and then never
Speaker 1: really tournament, and like I had the opportunity to draft
Speaker 1: him in a KFFC Draftmaster, and like I was just
Speaker 1: kind of like, I'm gonna let somebody else take him.
Speaker 1: I'm just yeah, it could, it could work out for
Speaker 1: him in Washington. It might be a better spot for him.
Speaker 1: But I think, like I'm still waiting for that wave
Speaker 1: to kind of crest. Is that the right term I
Speaker 1: need I need it, I need it to, I.
Speaker 2: Need it to ebb.
Speaker 1: I need it to get low, and then once that
Speaker 1: Samuel thing gets low, then I'll then I'll be in
Speaker 1: on him. But right now it's it's it's just too hot.
Speaker 1: Continuing the wide receiver conversation here, Chuck Christian Kirk. We
Speaker 1: mentioned him earlier. Christian Kirk right now, going right above
Speaker 1: Pharaoh's alleged godson in Michael Pittman. Here Christian Kirk wide
Speaker 1: receiver fifty two at the eleven oh nine in the
Speaker 1: FFPC never too early, bestball tournative. No longer a Jaguar,
Speaker 1: He's a Texan mall from c j. Stroud. We don't
Speaker 1: know what they're going to do in the draft. We've
Speaker 1: seen what they've done in free agency. How do you
Speaker 1: feel about Christian Kirk's value right now as it stands
Speaker 1: in Dynasty and now that he's in Houston, and quite frankly, Chuck,
Speaker 1: if you want to expand upon this, do you think
Speaker 1: this Dynasty value is going to change? Would be would
Speaker 1: you be operating if you had Kirker, if you didn't
Speaker 1: have Kirkin and Dynasty League, would you be operating as
Speaker 1: if this is going to change within the next two weeks.
Speaker 4: Well, I could definitely see them them taking another receiver,
Speaker 4: not early, but you know, maybe a mid round guy.
Speaker 4: But I like Kirk a lot in this situation. I
Speaker 4: think that when he signed with Jacksonville, he was signed
Speaker 4: there to be their number one, which he is definitely
Speaker 4: not going to Houston, you know, with heaven Nico there,
Speaker 4: he doesn't have to be that big guy them losing
Speaker 4: you know, Digs and Tank Dell. I think it just
Speaker 4: gives Stroud a weapon to utilize and he's gonna have
Speaker 4: a lot better year than he did last year because
Speaker 4: of and I think that Kirk is going to be
Speaker 4: pretty solid in that in that role. Yeah, and I
Speaker 4: think that right now. I mean, I have him in
Speaker 4: Dynasty and I'm happy at that think I think it
Speaker 4: was a good move going to Houston compared to other
Speaker 4: teams that he could have went to. But you know,
Speaker 4: I'll take him at this point.
Speaker 2: Chiming right now.
Speaker 1: Virtually nothing, even if he does well this year, and
Speaker 1: obviously with the short benches in the FF like that,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. It's like, it's one of those things
Speaker 1: where it's if you can can give up something of
Speaker 1: of of little note, right a future fourth, a future third,
Speaker 1: you might be able to cash in on somebody who's
Speaker 1: like who currently owns Kirk and is like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm done with this guy at this point and acquire him.
Speaker 1: I have him in a couple of leagues right now, Chuck,
Speaker 1: And and I'm holding fast. We'll see what happens with
Speaker 1: that going forward, but certainly we could you know, if
Speaker 1: Kirk starts off hot this year, maybe it's another selling opportunity.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just want to know with with these
Speaker 1: these things, and and DA does not want to offend Chuck.
Speaker 2: Chuck is and I am, and you're sitting here looking
Speaker 2: at these orphans who need a lot of help, and
Speaker 2: you're saying, you know what, I can get some players
Speaker 2: to help this team right away, and they're free. I
Speaker 2: can get them in the last few rounds of the draft,
Speaker 2: those orphans. You know, you publicize the picks that the
Speaker 2: orphans have, right Bulky, I mean you can see the
Speaker 2: draft picks and how great?
Speaker 1: Just real quick for all as long as you're gonna
Speaker 1: team up for this my ffpc dot com slash Dynasty
Speaker 1: you can see the final it's a little bit less
Speaker 1: than one hundred orphans that are out there right now.
Speaker 1: The entire roster as well as their picks for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five and twenty twenty six are listed there. One
Speaker 1: click of the button, you can make these teams your
Speaker 1: own my ffpc dot com slash Dynasty promo over go ahead,
Speaker 1: mister Elliott.
Speaker 2: I went over there last year. Not much dynasty experience
Speaker 2: came out with fifteen teams. Is you know, once you
Speaker 2: start clicking, it's just it's mighty fun. And I was saying,
Speaker 2: he's going to click up there in Minnesota. Well, I
Speaker 2: tell you what, as JJ McCarthy, I love to see
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk, you know, yeah, show what you think about
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 4: I mean, I like JJ. I mean I think it's
Speaker 4: I think I know, obviously we haven't seen him play yet,
Speaker 4: but being there for a year, you know, being in
Speaker 4: the system, seeing things, I mean, I think he's in
Speaker 4: a great spot. He's got two I mean, he's got
Speaker 4: one of the best receivers, plus another above average great
Speaker 4: tight end, two good running backs. I think overall. I mean,
Speaker 4: I'm not drafting him as a as a starter or
Speaker 4: you know, in a one QB league or anything like that,
Speaker 4: but Darnald put up the numbers. I mean I think
Speaker 4: he can too. I mean also, you know, we haven't
Speaker 4: seen him yet, but I mean I think it's a
Speaker 4: good spot for him. And at this point, and he's
Speaker 4: somebody in the two quarterback league, you know, and super
Speaker 4: flex that that i'd want on my team.
Speaker 2: You know, we got a lot of guys listening to that,
Speaker 2: Balky as well as our talented guests who are dual
Speaker 2: players of the k f F s C and the
Speaker 2: f f PC. I just noticed that it's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's really as Ben Stiller in uh in
Speaker 1: Dodgeball would say, there's a good energy right now, and
Speaker 1: we had a good energy going. Chuck Brains A yes, Chuck,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, Lake, And this is something
Speaker 1: I go back and forth on some some years, I'm
Speaker 1: going really hard on trades at this point in the
Speaker 1: year for dynasty. Some years, I'm kind of hanging back
Speaker 1: and just seeing what what's offered to me. And I
Speaker 1: think the latter is sort of how I'm approaching the
Speaker 1: NFL Draft coming up in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Right now, I am letting the trade offers come to
Speaker 1: me and I'm reacting to it. I'm not going out
Speaker 1: and searching out things at this point. Is that how
Speaker 1: you've been handling things in your Dynasty league this year?
Speaker 1: Is it better to let people come to you rather
Speaker 1: than going out and search I don't know what the
Speaker 1: right answer is here. What you should be doing as
Speaker 1: an FFPC dynasty owner right now?
Speaker 4: What have you been doing well before the cut date?
Speaker 4: The first cutdown, I was I was actively trying to
Speaker 4: make some moves. You know, I had a lot of
Speaker 4: guys over rosters, so I was trying to get rid
Speaker 4: of some guys for some draft picks. But I mean,
Speaker 4: at this point, I mean, I know I've I guess
Speaker 4: I've tried to trade James Cook before, but I've kind
Speaker 4: of let off on, you know, let off on that
Speaker 4: a little bit. Right now, I'm at the point where
Speaker 4: I just want to see where some of these guys
Speaker 4: get drafted, and I think that's going to be the key.
Speaker 4: So so I'm at the same point right now where
Speaker 4: I'm not sending any trade offers. You know, if they
Speaker 4: come in, I like them, you know, something I'll think about.
Speaker 4: But I'm at the point where I do want to
Speaker 4: wait just to see what happens with these rosters and
Speaker 4: you know, after this draft in two weeks.
Speaker 1: And I think that's the right way to do it.
Speaker 1: What how do you like when during the season, Chuck,
Speaker 1: are you looking at sort of you know, dealing future
Speaker 1: draft picks or acquiring future draft picks. I always think like,
Speaker 1: right now these draft picks are worth the most right
Speaker 1: so now is the time you want to be dealing them.
Speaker 1: But some people feel like they're going to get good
Speaker 1: value on them during the season as well. How do
Speaker 1: you manage your future draft picks in season in FFPC
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues?
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's just a matter of you know,
Speaker 4: how well your season's going. Also, and if you're competing
Speaker 4: at that point and then you look at you know,
Speaker 4: am I winning now or am I not winning now?
Speaker 4: What can I do to make sure that I am
Speaker 4: winning in the future if that's not happening, And then
Speaker 4: I think at that point you're looking to to maybe
Speaker 4: you know, trade off for those those picks. But if
Speaker 4: if it's a situation where you know I'm competing and
Speaker 4: I'm know I'm going for it, I'm not looking to
Speaker 4: to deal off anything at that point. You know, if
Speaker 4: I could take something on it will and you know,
Speaker 4: to give up a draft pick, yes, but I'm not
Speaker 4: actively looking for it.
Speaker 2: So Chuck, what is a sixth or seventh round dynasty
Speaker 2: graph pick works to you? And who's your best player
Speaker 2: you've ever got in the sixth and seventh round?
Speaker 4: It's not worth a whole lot. And see that's the thing.
Speaker 4: That's why, like you know, when there's trade offers and
Speaker 4: those are thrown in, you know it's I mean, that
Speaker 4: doesn't really mean too much to me. I couldn't, you know,
Speaker 4: thinking about it, I couldn't tell you who it was
Speaker 4: at that point.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I love the sixth and seventh round. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: the people can flood me with offers. Isaiah Pacheco. There
Speaker 2: was my seventh rounder from one year and the kicker bulky,
Speaker 2: the kicker down to Dallas. Is it Aubrey Brandon Aubrey, Yep,
Speaker 2: Brandon Aubrey. You know he lines up for sixty yard
Speaker 2: kicks and there's a sixth pointer bo right there.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: So, and I probably overvalued him because you know what,
Speaker 2: I hit the back to back to back yo eleven
Speaker 2: three times once, you know, so, I think now, But
Speaker 2: nevertheless I like him, and so I wonder if I could,
Speaker 2: you know, like according to Dizzel, I should trade uh
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk for some six and sevens.
Speaker 4: I would give up a six or seven for Christian Kirk?
Speaker 4: I would.
Speaker 1: I want to get to a couple of emails here
Speaker 1: for you tonight from listeners Chuck, And the first one
Speaker 1: is from fred In Brooklyn. What's the correct approach to
Speaker 1: Pat Fryarmuth in his f FPC Dynasty leagues this season?
Speaker 1: Thank you fred In Brooklyn. Wow?
Speaker 2: What I mean?
Speaker 1: We could spend a whole hour on Pittsburgh right now.
Speaker 1: Who is the running back going to be? Who's the
Speaker 1: quarterback going to be? And when you consider friar Mouth.
Speaker 1: I think like he's the one guy that has sort
Speaker 1: of been trenched in his spot and Mettaff as well.
Speaker 1: But I mean like Pickens, Jalen Warren, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph, who knows. So when you consider the quarterback
Speaker 1: situation kind of like up in the air now, Pat
Speaker 1: Fryarmouth in Dynasty leagues in the FFPC where it's tight
Speaker 1: end premium, I sold by sold by hold cell. How
Speaker 1: do you feel about him right now at the moment, I.
Speaker 4: Guess I'm holding him right now. I'm not loving it.
Speaker 4: I do have him in Dynasty as well, but I'm
Speaker 4: holding with them because you know, see how that situation
Speaker 4: turns out. I mean, especially if a young quarterback comes in,
Speaker 4: it's always nice to have a you know, a safety
Speaker 4: blanket of a tight end to throw to. So that
Speaker 4: could be a good thing. I mean, he's shown last
Speaker 4: year that you know, he could catch touchdowns. I mean
Speaker 4: he's not I wouldn't consider him a top twelve starter,
Speaker 4: but as a backup.
Speaker 1: So at this point, we also have an email from
Speaker 1: Jerry in Northbrook, Illinois. Is it a mistake to sell
Speaker 1: Bijon Robinson in my FFPC dynasty leagues. Thanks a lot, Chuck, Chuck,
Speaker 1: before you answer this, I'm just gonna weigh in on this, Jerry,
Speaker 1: if you don't mind, there are certain players and there's
Speaker 1: not a ton of them, and Dizzel and kind of
Speaker 1: back me up on this. There's certain players in the
Speaker 1: NFL you just can't get fair value for. Like you know,
Speaker 1: if if you want to sell your guy at the
Speaker 1: at the peak of his powers and and get a
Speaker 1: king's ransom in exchange form, hey, that's fine. But I
Speaker 1: think that there's certain players you just can't get that for.
Speaker 1: It's it's just impossible to make a deal with somebody
Speaker 1: where you can get fair value in for for my
Speaker 1: money's worth, Jon Robinson is one of those guys right now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a deal that you can
Speaker 1: make out there right now if you want to, if
Speaker 1: you feel like you're selling high on b Jon Robinson,
Speaker 1: I don't think you can get fair returned back in now.
Speaker 1: I know you have him in your twelve fifty FFPC
Speaker 1: dynasty Drake London and his Panix on that team too.
Speaker 1: No no, no, okay, so you got London, you got London,
Speaker 1: you got Robinson. How do you feel about Robinson in Dynasty.
Speaker 4: I got with what I just I go along with
Speaker 4: what you just said. I mean, I've gotten many of
Speaker 4: offers for him and nothing, nothing comes close to something
Speaker 4: I would I would. You know, he's I think he's
Speaker 4: the number one running back this year, and you know,
Speaker 4: being young, I think they're finally going to utilize them completely.
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, it's it would take a king's ransom.
Speaker 2: I think for me, I enter some of to these
Speaker 2: drafts with favorite rookie this year. I don't necessarily have
Speaker 2: a favorite rookie. I've got them further down the list.
Speaker 2: I've got some guys that I think could outperform their
Speaker 2: NFL draft value. What do you have a favorite rookie
Speaker 2: player this year that that you're going to target? I
Speaker 2: mean from beyond the elite players that the NFL seems
Speaker 2: to have all agreed on the top picks. And then
Speaker 2: a follow up, which I know that you are very
Speaker 2: well prepared to answer, Will Kelsey and Taylor still be
Speaker 2: together when we are in Vegas at the Paris Hotel?
Speaker 4: I think no drafting issue. Which one do you want
Speaker 4: an answer first?
Speaker 2: Whichever one you have the most emotional involvement.
Speaker 4: Well, my daughter and I had a conversation about the
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift and Kelsey today, so but yeah, I don't
Speaker 4: think so far. I don't think it's gonna happen. I
Speaker 4: think I think come come September. I think they're done.
Speaker 4: But then he could come.
Speaker 2: You know what, We're gonna have to have five on it,
Speaker 2: Bulky queue all right, Chuck and I got five on it.
Speaker 2: I'm keeping them together, all right. The Dizzl's here. We
Speaker 2: gotta music.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, I don't, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: have the music cute up.
Speaker 4: On it.
Speaker 1: I wish I could, I can't.
Speaker 2: Okay, we got five on it, Chuck.
Speaker 4: All right, sounds good, it sounds good.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on before we get to this, Chuck,
Speaker 1: why are you breaking up Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift tonight?
Speaker 2: Chuck's come on now? Hey wait mane listen. Can we
Speaker 2: cut that part? That's live?
Speaker 1: I can't cut it, but there's no delay. We're good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, I don't know. It's just what I mean,
Speaker 4: who cares? I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I care. I wanted to answer. Now I've got five
Speaker 2: dollars right on.
Speaker 4: It's money. There's money on it.
Speaker 2: And I'm really really glad that I asked the question.
Speaker 4: Football now.
Speaker 2: Because you know, if if that couple breaks up, Kelsey
Speaker 2: catches like six passes for the whole season. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I need a favorite rookie.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try this right now. Guys, I don't know
Speaker 1: if this is gonna work.
Speaker 2: Look at the screen.
Speaker 1: Try Okay, sorry to that play I heard it. Oh God,
Speaker 1: we're going off the rail tonight. So Glad Dizzel sitting
Speaker 1: in on this one. Not how professional this this.
Speaker 2: This seems to be engaged.
Speaker 1: He is, and he's maybe he's predicting an engagement from
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and Taylor.
Speaker 2: You would like to question.
Speaker 1: All right, anyway, here we go.
Speaker 4: I like, I like Judkins quinchin Juhnkins Ohio State. He's
Speaker 4: the guy I like. I mean, just just reading about
Speaker 4: some of these guys in his background. I mean, he
Speaker 4: wasn't you wasn't a five star recruit, but he worked
Speaker 4: his way up through went to Ohio State, you know,
Speaker 4: even though they had Henderson and everything. I mean, he's solid,
Speaker 4: he's he's the type of guy he's he's gonna be
Speaker 4: a bruiser. He's gonna be that that guy who you know,
Speaker 4: that second half running back. I think that just really
Speaker 4: just you know, the teams can rely on what and
Speaker 4: hopefully hands up in good spots. He's the guy I like.
Speaker 1: H Chuck, is there is there a guy as far
Speaker 1: as rookies go, that that you don't like that that
Speaker 1: people are talking up perhaps right now that you're like, man,
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I'm staying away. And obviously this
Speaker 1: could change it when when we see the draft capitol
Speaker 1: coming up in the next couple of weeks. But is
Speaker 1: the player that has turned you off right now in
Speaker 1: the rookie class.
Speaker 4: I mean it's not really my opinion, but just what
Speaker 4: I you know that that tech McMillian McMillan about his
Speaker 4: you know, he doesn't like to watch football or whatever.
Speaker 4: I mean, so that I don't that when I read
Speaker 4: that article, it kind of turned me off on him.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know he's got all the talent in
Speaker 4: the world, but you know, I don't know, you're not
Speaker 4: going to put in the work, You're not gonna.
Speaker 2: See you know, if I was just Asian, I would
Speaker 2: take a picture of him watching Birmingham and Arlington soaking
Speaker 2: up as much as he can. Yeah, exactly, Well where
Speaker 2: is the pharaoh?
Speaker 1: Where is this game? Is this in Birmingham? Yeah?
Speaker 4: It is tech.
Speaker 1: McMillan paying the flight, the flight fair. You can afford it,
Speaker 1: or you will be able to afford it and be
Speaker 1: seen in the stands taking as much football as you
Speaker 1: can tonight. That would disabow truck route would be a
Speaker 1: fan of you. I tell you that if truck brute,
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, so for sure, no, I you know,
Speaker 1: I'll say this about McMillan. I have had many people
Speaker 1: come on my shows and and try to convince me
Speaker 1: that McMillan's going to be a stud, he's going to
Speaker 1: be a good player in the pros, And they very
Speaker 1: well could be right. But I'm be honest with you, guys,
Speaker 1: still not sold on him. The separation worries me. The
Speaker 1: fact that he is this big and I know he
Speaker 1: ran a good forty for his size or whatever. I've
Speaker 1: just seen these guys fail. And if you want to
Speaker 1: talk about me being a like a typist or a
Speaker 1: body shamer or whatever, I've seen a lot of these
Speaker 1: quote unquote fast guys for their size that have this
Speaker 1: big catch radius and then they get to the pros
Speaker 1: and it's just like, eh, not great, Bob. I probably
Speaker 1: will because thanks to Farall, I have a zillion Dynasty Leagues,
Speaker 1: which I love. I'll probably have some tech McMillan chairs,
Speaker 1: but I'm not breaking my neck to go out and
Speaker 1: getting them, especially in this year's running back class too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree Pittman was faster than he was A.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I should be trading my one O two for
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman right now. Dynasty Leagues right now. Okay, my god, Chuck,
Speaker 1: We've we've gotten through a lot and I this was
Speaker 1: this was so much fun.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I want to once again congratulate you on your five
Speaker 1: hundred k victory. Did we talked about this last time?
Speaker 1: When you're on in November? Is there any money left?
Speaker 1: Have you spent it all? Have you?
Speaker 4: I need to win some more this year.
Speaker 2: We have that discussion.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's running low. It's running low. You know,
Speaker 4: I'm flying back and forth to Louisville all the time.
Speaker 4: It's started to run low.
Speaker 2: You know, you know your love down here, You're welcome.
Speaker 2: No one knows where you go when you're not in
Speaker 2: the room. But it's you know, we always glad that
Speaker 2: you're bet.
Speaker 1: There was a hashtag on Twitter trending that said hashtag
Speaker 1: Louisville loves Chuck Root.
Speaker 2: I don't know trending anymore for a while, very smash.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 1: Exactly, Chuck, you'd be good. Congratulations and all your success.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for for hanging out with us once
Speaker 1: again tonight. We really appreciate it. Good luck in all
Speaker 1: your leagues this year, enjoy the draft, Enjoy drafting season,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure I'll hook up with you once again
Speaker 1: in Louisville come August.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: Look forward to seeing you. Then.
Speaker 4: Sounds good. Thank you very much for having me appreciate it.
Speaker 1: That is Chuck frout, Ladies and gentlemen hanging out with
Speaker 1: us here on the High Stakes Fantasy Football Hour live
Speaker 1: on the FFPC show Socials. By the way, for the
Speaker 1: first time, Pharaoh, not that anybody cares about this but me,
Speaker 1: we are streaming live on the hsff our x account tonight.
Speaker 1: We've never done that before. So yeah, we're streaming at
Speaker 1: like six seven different locations. If you are not seeing
Speaker 1: this show, it's on you because we're putting it out
Speaker 1: there literally everywhere.
Speaker 2: You're watching Birmingham and Arlington.
Speaker 1: I have that on as well. It's not looking good
Speaker 1: for Birmingham, but we'll see. We'll see what happens here.
Speaker 1: With two minutes to go, Okay, I want to talk
Speaker 1: about some of the emails that we got up tonight
Speaker 1: from let's go to Larry and Toledo. What kind of
Speaker 1: damage it's defawon Diggs going to inflict in New England
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. Thank you Larry and Toledo for
Speaker 1: that email. Phara tell you this right now. In the
Speaker 1: FFPC never too Early Best Ball Tournament, Stefan Diggs is
Speaker 1: not going until the tenth round. He is wide receiver
Speaker 1: forty nine. Yes, he may not start the season healthy,
Speaker 1: but he will at some point be healthy. Ish to
Speaker 1: borrow a line from Moneyball for the Patriots this year
Speaker 1: catching balls from Drake May you have a strong feeling
Speaker 1: on Diggs. You know these guys that are coming off
Speaker 1: significant injuries. I usually shy away from him, But then
Speaker 1: you look at the draft capital for Diggs tenth round.
Speaker 1: I mean, this could be your wide receiver five, your
Speaker 1: wide receiver six. It's a little bit more intriguing that.
Speaker 2: As a eternal optimist, Baalky on Digs up pass this year.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, so you are passing on Digs? Now why
Speaker 1: is that because of the injury, because the age, because
Speaker 1: of the new.
Speaker 2: Offense, and just just somewhat of the guy of his
Speaker 2: landing spot and just somewhat of the personality that I've
Speaker 2: seen in them and maybe understand that he is. You know,
Speaker 2: it takes a lot of focus to work through an injury,
Speaker 2: and it takes a lot of uh, it takes a
Speaker 2: lot of mental acuity to find ways to contribute when
Speaker 2: you're playing her, And I don't know if this guy's
Speaker 2: ever done that. And I don't know when you're on
Speaker 2: a team that's not going to necessarily win as much,
Speaker 2: although I think they'll be better than last year obviously,
Speaker 2: but not going to win as much.
Speaker 1: And it's cold, yeah, you know, but he did play
Speaker 1: in Buffalo for what it's worth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cold.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: And by the way, the dizzle damage from Diggs in
Speaker 1: New England or on New England could go both ways.
Speaker 1: There's a non zero chance of that.
Speaker 2: That Dizzel is a genius. Yeah, you see what he
Speaker 2: comes with it.
Speaker 1: He's a wordsmith.
Speaker 2: Send it home on the couch on Friday.
Speaker 1: Former writer for Jay Leno on the Tonight Show, and
Speaker 1: he's bringing his talents to us tonight, which we which
Speaker 1: we appreciate. Uh. Rod in Savannah, Georgia, Hey, fellas, is
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooksworth anything in Dynasty in New Orleans this year?
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. That is Robed in Savannah, Georgia. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Rod.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this right now, there's not a lot
Speaker 1: to love in New Orleans as far as the offense goes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Camara Olave if he's healthy, But man, with with this
Speaker 1: news that we open the show tonight, Pharrell with with
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. God, I don't feel great about anybody unless
Speaker 1: they're an alpha there and and Olava is the alpha
Speaker 1: even if Olave gets hurt and Cooks has to step
Speaker 1: up if he's catching passes from Spencer Ratler or Jackson
Speaker 1: Dart or something like that. Man, I don't like that.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's worth anything in Dynasty for me.
Speaker 1: And this is an easy cell. This is an easy
Speaker 1: cut quite frankly for me. How do you feel about it?
Speaker 2: The last thing you can throw out?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and he's coming off an injury as well.
Speaker 1: But it's just like I don't know, like, does that boom?
Speaker 1: Does that give a boon to Brandon Cook's fantasy value?
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing it, and even if it does, it's
Speaker 1: going to be short lived. Let's talk about a guy
Speaker 1: who's more meaningful. Is the FFPC Never two Early Best
Speaker 1: Ball Tournament. Right now, Devon A. Chan is going at
Speaker 1: the two oh three running back six five running backs
Speaker 1: going in front of him and Ken in Norton Mass
Speaker 1: High hsff hour. He asked, do you see a repeat
Speaker 1: of Devon A. Chan's twenty twenty four this year? Farrell?
Speaker 1: In the the KFFFC Draftmaster's Best Ball that I'm in
Speaker 1: right now, I just took John U. Smith as my
Speaker 1: starting tight end in like the eighth round or something
Speaker 1: like that. So I am quasi betting on an Ah
Speaker 1: Chan Smith return to dominance from what I saw last year,
Speaker 1: and I'm going against Tyreek Hill and and Jalen Waddle.
Speaker 1: I think if if you like Smith this year, I
Speaker 1: don't want to say that that goes hand in hand,
Speaker 1: but I feel like if you like Smith this year,
Speaker 1: you should probably like a Chan as well. Now, if
Speaker 1: you want to pay early second round draft value, that's
Speaker 1: another conversation. But I don't think a Chan repeats, but yeah,
Speaker 1: eighty eighty five percent of what he did last year.
Speaker 1: As long as he stays healthy, I feel pretty comfortable
Speaker 1: in saying that. How do you feel about it?
Speaker 2: I feel really good about it because we get to
Speaker 2: see this player now with a full workload, and he's
Speaker 2: a rare combination of strength and speed. Everybody talks about
Speaker 2: how fast he is. I'd like to think about how
Speaker 2: strong he is. I love this contact balance. People have
Speaker 2: a hard time bringing him down because he's running fast.
Speaker 2: He's running hard, and so when he running backs get
Speaker 2: in a rhythm more and more and more when they're
Speaker 2: hand theball, and I see him as a potential of
Speaker 2: huge blow up games because look, he at five yards
Speaker 2: of carries? Is that what it was close to this
Speaker 2: past year? Balky?
Speaker 1: I look it that bright?
Speaker 4: Now, you know?
Speaker 2: I just think that that. Yes, and at two oh three,
Speaker 2: that's perfect because that's about the range. That's about the
Speaker 2: range that we had Barkley and Lash year about this time.
Speaker 2: Is that correct?
Speaker 1: You know? Barkley is an early second round to mid
Speaker 1: second round pick.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's about where we were.
Speaker 1: Eight Chan averaged in twenty twenty three seven point eight
Speaker 1: yards per carry. Farrell that that average obviously was not sustainable.
Speaker 1: Came down to four point five last year, which is
Speaker 1: not bad.
Speaker 2: It was an excellent that's an excellent number.
Speaker 1: But but bear in mind, I mean, like part of
Speaker 1: the reason we love him so much is the catches.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty three he had thirty seven catches. Farrel Guess
Speaker 1: within ten catches and I'll and I'll buy you a
Speaker 1: bourbon in Las Vegas. Guess how many catches he had
Speaker 1: twenty seven catches in twenty twenty three. Guess how many
Speaker 1: catches he had in twenty twenty four, fifty six. I
Speaker 1: can't buy you, I'll buy you a bourbon. For a
Speaker 1: different reason, he had seventy eight catches. Wow, seventy eight
Speaker 1: catches for five hundred and ninety two yards gets him
Speaker 1: in the end zone six times. Dizzle. By the way,
Speaker 1: guess seventy seven like he has dialed in. We got
Speaker 1: to get this, you know, we should have him come
Speaker 1: on with I love I love that, I love Uh.
Speaker 1: Let's it's upset by being off by one as well.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about last last email we have because we
Speaker 1: gotta get out of here. Gene and Crowdersville, Ohio without
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. What kind of twenty twenty five campaign is
Speaker 1: Sam Laporta in four? Thanks gentlemen, that is Gene and Crowdersville, Gean.
Speaker 1: We appreciate the email Pharrell right now in the FFPC
Speaker 1: number two early Best Ball Tournament ADP, which we get
Speaker 1: from Fantasymojo dot Com. At Fantasy Mojo on the X,
Speaker 1: Darren RMANI not only the godfather of the FFPC pros
Speaker 1: versus Joe's Challenge, but anytime we cite ADP on this show,
Speaker 1: it is through Fantasy Mojo. If you are playing the
Speaker 1: ff PC, highly recommend you get a subscription to Fantasy Mojo.
Speaker 1: Sam Laporta tight End four right now he is going
Speaker 1: off at the five oh four, roughly one full round
Speaker 1: after tight End three in George Kittle, roughly one full
Speaker 1: round ahead of tight End five in TJ. Hockinson. He's
Speaker 1: sort of on an island by himself. What do you
Speaker 1: make of the four h five ADP for Sam Laporta
Speaker 1: and what kind of year do you think Laporta is
Speaker 1: going to have without Ben Johnson but still with the
Speaker 1: rest of the band back in Detroit.
Speaker 2: It's gonna have a better year without Ben Johnson. The
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson playbook never ends.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Then he looks way to get everyone involved, and he's
Speaker 2: got a quarterback that can get the fourth guy and involved,
Speaker 2: and it's it's you know, and so it's I think
Speaker 2: it would be very predictable amongst a new coaching group, which.
Speaker 5: Which which we have, and we do need to start
Speaker 5: talking about who the new group Isn't detroit to lean
Speaker 5: on your best and Laporta is, you know, he's just
Speaker 5: the best at his position right there, or are amongst
Speaker 5: the best, you know, and and.
Speaker 2: So they're gonna lean on him, and they are, they're
Speaker 2: gonna lean on the other players. I expect Gibbs to
Speaker 2: do a little more, you know. The those are just
Speaker 2: safe targets and carries for those two players without golf's
Speaker 2: necessity to be that created. But what a team. This
Speaker 2: is offensive?
Speaker 1: Yeah, incredible And if you look at what Sam Laporta
Speaker 1: did last year in twenty twenty four, well, I'll just
Speaker 1: bring this up. He went from eighty six catches his
Speaker 1: rookie year to sixty. He went from eight hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty nine yards to seven twenty six. He went from
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns to seven touchdowns. I think you can buy
Speaker 1: the dip here. I think that if you're in an
Speaker 1: FFPC tight end premium league to get Sam Laporta in
Speaker 1: the mid fourth right now, I think you're doing it right.
Speaker 1: And I would anticipate I don't know how Dizzel feels
Speaker 1: about this, and Parrell, I don't know how you feel
Speaker 1: about it, but I would anticipate his ADP creep up
Speaker 1: a little bit, not a ton, but I would think
Speaker 1: you're creeping up a little bit. And if that's the case,
Speaker 1: if you're buying him now here on April eleventh, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five in the mid fourth, going to feel pretty
Speaker 1: good about that on September eleventh, twenty twenty five, if
Speaker 1: you extrapolate that out as far as what the values
Speaker 1: are going to be. So I'm with you on that
Speaker 1: as well. We got through a lot tonight, my friend.
Speaker 1: This was so much fun once again, hanging out with
Speaker 1: you and Chuck Root, dishing on not only Redraft stuff
Speaker 1: but dynasty stuff, and helping people out who are thinking
Speaker 1: about buying these last remaining dynasty orphans with the FFPC.
