00:00:20,679 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do Podcast. I'm your host,

2
00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:27,160
Corey Evans. This week's show is titled Week two Lessons Learned.

3
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:30,000
I have ten topics or lessons that I think we

4
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:32,679
can build on rest of season. It's crazy how we

5
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:37,399
wait for the actual count year to begin come regular season,

6
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:40,359
and then in the same token, how fast it goes by.

7
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:42,880
We're already in week three and you have to be

8
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,119
ready to make quick, unbiased decisions. BA will dictates your

9
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,039
success or failure in both redrafting Dynasty, and I hope

10
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:52,439
that I can help you provide that insight and make

11
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,399
the decision making process easier in week out forget to

12
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:58,960

you're a fan of my work and want to support

28
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:45,159
me monetarily while gaining extra content in the process. The

29
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,519
first lesson learned is that Khalil Shake here might be

30
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,719
Josh Allen's go to wide receiver. In Buffalo, he had

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,640
five catches fifty four yards on five targets for ten

32
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,480
pointy yards per catch against Miami. The longs reception was

33
00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:00,280
for twenty one yards on sixty nine percent of snow apps.

34
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,920
Then you rewind to week one, a two week sample

35
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:05,680
size versus Arizona, Shakiir hauled in three catches for forty

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,159
two yards and a touchdown on three targets on a

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,159
fifty three percent snap rate, meaning his usage is on

38
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:13,280
the rise, and it does seem that out of the

39
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:17,159
slot Josh Allen is looking early and often in progressions

40
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,879
towards Shakir's direction. Khalil's Week two output was notable because

41
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,680
josh Allen only threw for one hundred and thirty nine

42
00:02:22,759 --> 00:02:26,039
yards in the contest. Therefore, Shakir's fifty four yards accounted

43
00:02:26,039 --> 00:02:30,159
for thirty nine percent of Buffalo's receiving yardage in totality.

44
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:32,439
I don't think that Shakiir is a setup forget it

45
00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:35,319
type of asset yet in redraft or dynasty, but he's

46
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:39,520
surely becoming a flex or wide out three conversation candidates.

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,800
You can do a lot worse from a floor perspective.

48
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,919
All of that being said, I think there's a really

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,120
good time in the presence of Bailowan Kiyank Coleman after

50
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:49,719
his goose egg in week two. He's the main target.

51
00:02:49,759 --> 00:02:51,960
But I do think that in terms of Josh allen

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,400
security blanket that is clear Shakir at this point in time.

53
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,400
The next lesson learned is that John U. Smith could

54
00:02:57,479 --> 00:03:01,520
offer sneaky value at tight end catches four forty three

55
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:04,479
yards seven targets eight point yards per grabvers Buffalo, with

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,479
his longest reception checking in at fifteen yards forty two

57
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,120
percent of snaps. Smith's involvement was a welcome sign after

58
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,599
minimal usage in Week one versus Jacksonville Winnie Chipton only

59
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,840
one catch, seven yards, two targets and a twenty eight

60
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,439
percent snap rate with two out for the foreseeable future

61
00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:24,280
if not, in my opinion, which really doesn't matter, it's

62
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,159
his decision calling it a career, retiring to preserve his

63
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,599
brain health and just enjoyment of life beyond football. We'll

64
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:33,680
see how that pans out. Who has been already on

65
00:03:33,759 --> 00:03:35,280
record saying it does not want to hang it up.

66
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,159
That's his decision to make. Even so, Skylar Thompson or

67
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:42,080
an eventual veteran replacement like Tyler Huntley that was brought

68
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,360
on recently figures to pepper John Whu Smith with underneath

69
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,560
targets as a security blanket of sorts if Tyreek Hill

70
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:52,319
or Jayalen Wattle are not open in intermediate to downfield

71
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:54,680
components of the field. One concern that I do have

72
00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:56,840
about John Who is that Miami continues to deploy a

73
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,560
committee at tight end with Smith himself them smyth Hill,

74
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:03,360
and that translates to volatility weak to week let alone

75
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:07,280
drive to drive. It's very game flow or game script dependent.

76
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,599
Then again, tight end is the weakest thinnest position in

77
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:13,080
all fantasy and right now it seems that John who

78
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,759
has a role in Mike McDonald's offense, we should make notes,

79
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,720
especially in two tight end formats. The next lesson learned

80
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:21,160
is that Rashid Shahid appears settled in as the Saints

81
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,879
wide receiver. Two four grabs ninety six yards and a touchdown,

82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,920
four targets twenty four yards per catch with a long

83
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,519
of seventy yards that coincidentally went for a trip to

84
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,519
the end zone against Dallas on sixty six percent a snap.

85
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:37,279
So not quite a full time player, I'd say, approaching

86
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,279
that territory, but not in every snap on the field

87
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,480
type of asset here that does make it go back

88
00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:44,720
to back weeks with a touchdown at least seventy yard

89
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,199
receiving after Rashid totaled three catches for seventy three yards

90
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:51,519
and a touchdown in Week one versus Carolina a sixty

91
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,800
eight percent snap share, so sub seventy percent participation on

92
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,759
the field in weeks one to two, but the efficiency

93
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:02,240
and big playability with a red hot out of the gate.

94
00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:05,879
Derek Carr from a accuracy and decision making point of

95
00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:09,000
view is a welcome sign for anyone who has shares

96
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:13,120
of Rashid Shahed Chrys o'lavey. Meanwhile, he has underachieved, which

97
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,360
has been the story of his career out of a

98
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:18,319
health state. Yet Olavi progressed in a positive way. Four

99
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:20,680
grabs eighty one yards this week, six targets Ggins Dallas,

100
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:23,040
and in my mind he does remain the Saints' true

101
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,040
wide receiver one from a skill set route technician, fundamentally

102
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,439
sound a good all around complete receiver, even though his

103
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:35,360
ceiling hasn't aligned with their expectations. I don't think that

104
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:39,199
Rashid Shahed will provide the same level of reception or

105
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,279
yards potential as Olavi because Shaheed is more a vertical

106
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,959
than possession wide out as opposed to a full time receiver,

107
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,439
and that's reflective on Shahed's snap rates per week. Even so,

108
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,439
both are firmly in the wide receiver two conversation from

109
00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:57,160
a fantasy lens, and those who have doubted Rashid seem

110
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,319
to be realizing his potential in this Saints' offense. Clint

111
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,000
Kubiak is a mastermind as oc. The next lesson is

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,399
that Jalen Tolbert needs to be rostered. It's as simple

113
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:09,279
as that. Six grabs eighty two yards, nine targets thirteen

114
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,759
point seven yards per catch versus New Orleans, good for

115
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,720
eighty six percent of snaps. It was a much needed

116
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:17,399
showing for Tolbert after a Week one dud against Cleveland

117
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,920
with only one catch for twelve yards on two targets

118
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,160
with a sixty seven percent snap share. I'm not saying

119
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:25,360
that Jalen Tolbert needs to be started from here on out,

120
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,480
but he has to be rostered in Donasy formats almost universally,

121
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,160
Ceedee Lamb is Dallas's certified wide out one, but Widout

122
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:35,720
two duties are up for grabs between Tolbert himself, Brandon

123
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,000
Cooks or when back from injury. Could be as soon

124
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,879
as week three based on reports Jake Ferguson, who shares

125
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,360
a tight end by name or trade end of the day,

126
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,360
though his usage is more efflective of a receiver or

127
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:51,800
glorified pass catcher. In short, another receiver has to step

128
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,279
up in tandem with Lamb in order for Dak Prescott

129
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:57,360
to run the offense more effectively after that lucrative contract,

130
00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:00,519
especially so far, a slow start for Dak a sixty

131
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:02,680
four point eight completion percentage rates and an eighty one

132
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:05,160
point four passer rating over two games. To this point,

133
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,759
it's not panic time, but Tolbert or someone else has

134
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,399
to step up opposite ceed Lamb. I think ultimately will

135
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:14,079
be Jake Ferguson a solid Bilo window there for him.

136
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:16,560
But Tolbert, I've seen him on waiver wires that cannot

137
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,040
be the case. Pick him up if available. The next

138
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,759
lesson is that Braylan Allen is offering standalone value seven

139
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,279
totes thirty three yards, one touchdown for four point seven

140
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:27,759
yards per clip, and then two grabs twenty three yards

141
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,720
and a touchdown on four targets against Tennessee with only

142
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,319
thirty five percent a snap. So talk about efficients on

143
00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:37,480
limited value nine touches, two touchdowns. Well, it's most notable

144
00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:41,600
is that Allen cut into Breeze Hall's elite workload fourteen

145
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:44,720
sixty two on the ground, seven fifty two in a touchdown.

146
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160
And now it appears to be some form of an RBBC.

147
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:50,079
It might be a seventy five twenty five split eighty twenty,

148
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:53,399
but any piece of the pie, if Aaron Rodgers is healthy,

149
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,000
is something that warrants our attention. Braylan's receiving touchdown went

150
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,399
for twelve yards, rushing touchdown for for twenty yards. This

151
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:04,000
was not necessarily a massive lead because the Jets and

152
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,240
Tennessee were back and forth in this contest for most

153
00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:10,879
of the afternoon. So Braylan Allen had positive raven reviews

154
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,560
all off season after being drafted, and we're seeing now

155
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,279
applicable on the NFL great arms is huge for his

156
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:20,439
immediate outlook and long term trajectory in the Jets system.

157
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,879
Week one did not necessarily indicate a committee at San

158
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:25,279
Francisco is an eighteen percent snaps year, and Allen only

159
00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:28,519
registered one rush eight yards one catch nine yards, which

160
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,439
does potentially forecast a role that is gamefull dependent, as

161
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:33,480
I might have hitted to a few seconds ago, but

162
00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:38,000
from a bigger perspective and picture frame. Brandlan has not

163
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,639
turned twenty one until January and is arguably now the

164
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,039
most valuable handcuff or complimentary running back to roster in Dynasty.

165
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,000
Jordan Mason is in that conversation as well, based on

166
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,840
his usage and filling in for the void left behind

167
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:54,159
by cmcnire, why I think Allen is suddenly in that

168
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,759
mix two of being really valuable and potentially not even

169
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,960
just a backup or handcuff, but standalone value wise, is

170
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,639
he six ' one two thirty five. He's showing versatility

171
00:09:04,639 --> 00:09:06,840
as a rusher receiver in pass protection, which most ROOKI

172
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:10,759
running backs don't have that skill set or adept ability

173
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:13,759
out of the college scene. So he's an advanced talent

174
00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:16,879
in that regard. And again the age you're just so appealing.

175
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:18,919
If Resall were to get injured, Brail and Al will

176
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,799
be literally an RB two with our going upside. Time

177
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,360
for quick breaking me back with five more lessons learned

178
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,759
from week two of this season before I get to that.

179
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,679
If you are stuck entering Meet three not sure what

180
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:30,799
to do, hit me up for a roster call thirty bucks,

181
00:09:30,879 --> 00:09:34,120
thirty minutes, one hour, fifty dollars. We can talk about

182
00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:37,200
your team top to bottom strategy here on out, trades,

183
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,279
start sits, whatever you want. We use that time to

184
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,799
best optimize your team from here on out. Hit me

185
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:46,639
up on social media once again, that's at Dynasty. Do

186

pod on our platforms or send me an email to

187
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:53,279
dynastydopodat gmail dot com to book a Google Meet roster

188
00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:57,240
call for in season discussion. Be right back after a

189
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,879
short intermission. Jalen Naylor's role is expanding. We've learned that

190
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,200
now over two weeks three fifty four and one touchdown

191
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,279
on four targets eighteen yards per reception versus forty nine

192
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,240
ers with Jordan Addison, of course sidelined, which amounted to

193
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:14,879
a ninety three percent snap rate for Jalen Naylor. His

194
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,159
lost catch today went for twenty six yards. Jalen has

195
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:20,639
found the end zone now in two consecutive contests. After

196
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,279
his one catch, twenty one yard, one touchdown performance in

197
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,399
Week one against the Giants only a forty seven percent snapshare,

198
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,799
so Addison leaving that game allowed Naylor to see more

199
00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:32,039
volume and opportunities even though it was only one catch.

200
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,039
The key here is that with Addison out of the picture,

201
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,080
the snap rate catapulted almost at a full time clip.

202
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,320
Of course, we know as well Justin Jefferson dealing with

203
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,279
a quak intusion not a big deal, but Addison is

204
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,080
tending to two separate ankle injuries to one in training

205
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,320
camp and the one suffered three and week one. Kevin

206
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,960
O'Connell seems a bit more optimistic about Addison's Week three availability.

207
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,200
Even so, Naylor's role in the Vikings offense is on

208
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,440
the rise. The former sixth rounder on Mischigon State is

209
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,679
wait to see his don He's dock steadily increase. He

210
00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:05,480
is startable if you need to use him as sucks

211
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:07,960
with all the injuries in the fantasy landscape in a

212
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,480
twelve team and possibly been ten team format. Sort of

213
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,840
like I discussed the idea or premise of Jalen Tolbert

214
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:16,639
need to be rostered, the same applies with Jalen Naylor,

215
00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:19,840
particularly because Sam Darnold looks good in O'Connell's system. The

216
00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:22,759
next lesson learned, perhaps most important in this episode is

217
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:25,559
that Jackson Smith and Jigbas should not be questioning befoward.

218
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,720
He's a lineup block. I don't care what the circumstances.

219
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:30,360
His ceiling has been proven. He enjoyed a breakout game

220
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,480
at New England to the tune of twelve for a

221
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:36,320
Buck seventeen sixteen targets, nine pointy yards per catch across

222
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,960
an eighty percent snap share. It was a much needed

223
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,879
bounce back performance after's week wins appointments vers Denver two

224
00:11:42,919 --> 00:11:45,639
for nineteen on two targets on seventy nine percent of snaps,

225
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:47,600
and I'll be the first to emit in one of

226
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:50,200
my leagues. I have Jasen in nextual me only share

227
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,360
of him in Dynasty. I sat him and quite clearly

228
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,639
was instant regret on my behalf. Those sort of decisions

229
00:11:57,039 --> 00:11:59,120
are fine and you can learn from them. Hence why

230
00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:02,120
he's on the Lessons Learn Earned episode because now you

231
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,559
know JSN unless there's some sort of news indicating otherwise,

232
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,759
should be a lineup lock, no matter what happened the

233
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:12,240
week prior. It's actually his first career one hundred yard

234
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,799
game as a pro. It's a testament to JSN ceiling

235
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,399
and Ryan Grubbs offenses. He operates in the Jalen McMillan

236
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,279
or Jalen Polk role from Washington, while DK Metcalf functions

237
00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:25,240
as more of the Roma dunes in Grubbs system. Speaking

238
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,320
of DK, he delivered a sensational ten catch one hundred

239
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,879
and twenty nine yard one touchdown effort for fourteen targets

240
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
twelve point nine us per grab, including a fifty six

241
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,039
yard score Tyra Lockett. Meanwhile, he let Seattle on Week

242
00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:38,840
one receiving but took it back seeing Week two with

243
00:12:38,919 --> 00:12:41,200
two grabs fifteen yards on two targets. All that to

244
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,279
say that jsn's floor is not what we saw meek

245
00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:47,360
to the twelve receptions for one hundred and seventeen yards. No,

246
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,039
it's sure to be a rotational spike between DK, Lockett

247
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:54,360
and JASN. What's encouraging though, is seeing a massive stat

248
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,240
line from Jackson after a fairly slow start to his

249
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,320
NFL career as a rookie, been a huge proponent of

250
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,679
JSN to a fault, potentially hyping him up a bit

251
00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:06,279
too much, but this is why he at Ohio State

252
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,840
showcased this level of skill as a borderline elite prospect.

253
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:15,320
And if the future is Metcalf and JSN in grubs system,

254
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,039
with Lockett being interchangeable based on age or just simply

255
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,720
losing a bit in terms of route separation or overall

256
00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:27,200
elusiveness after the catch, then so be it. You have

257
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,080
to main patient with talented prospects in JSN. Is that

258
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:32,559
to a t? The next lesson is that Hunter Henry

259
00:13:32,799 --> 00:13:35,200
might be New England's top receiver eight catches one hundred

260
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,840
nine yards on twelve targets thirteen points is rusper caect

261
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,080
for Seattle eighty four percent of snaps. That's after a

262
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,200
lackluster to catch eighteen yard performance in Week one against

263
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,879
Tonati even though it was on the field for eight

264
00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:48,480
p percent of snap So that's a above eight percent

265
00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:51,519
snap rate for Henry, which for a tight end sign

266
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,360
me up. It's a wasteland out there even for the

267
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,960
top tier names. Right now, New England has a logjam

268
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,320
at wide out of Jalen Polk, kJ Osbourne to Mario

269
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,639
douglasson Thornton even Austin Hooper as a tight end receiving

270
00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:07,960
option of actually Kendrick Bourne Hunter, Henry is the reliable

271
00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:11,799
presence for jakober Set and eventually Drake May. He might

272
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,639
not have an eight one h nine ceiling each and

273
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,960
every week the four is basically zero or non existent,

274
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,200
but the take can be set for any tight end.

275
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,879
At least we know that Henry has a contrastability. He's

276
00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:24,639
a free agent in twenty twenty seven, so he's part

277
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:27,159
of the team's short term plans and b has a

278
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,720
proven record of success in the red zone, so if

279
00:14:29,759 --> 00:14:32,919
the catches in yardage are foutal, but he can make

280
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,320
up four with touchdowns On an England team that has

281
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,919
performed better than advertised. Even though it's a two game

282
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,080
sample size, you can do a lot worse at tight ends.

283
00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:42,639
Hunter Henry I think needs to be taken seriously, even

284
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:44,279
if there is going to be ups and downs, ebbs

285
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,559
and flows for him with the Patriots offense. The next

286
00:14:47,639 --> 00:14:51,440
lesson is that Brian Robinson Junior is severely undervalued. Seventeen

287
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,080
for about thirty three on the ground, seven pointy yards

288
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,559
per carry, a long rush of forty yards, one catch,

289
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,000
three yards on three targets versus Giants, sixty percent of snaps.

290
00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:02,519
Week one was solid as well against Tampa Bay. I'll

291
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:04,639
put of twelve or forty and one touchdown on the ground,

292
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,919
three grabs forty nine yards on four targets within fifty

293
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,279
six percent snap distribution. So he's not a full time player.

294
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,720
He is the early down weapon though for Washington's thunder

295
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,559
b rob at six one two twenty eight and lightning

296
00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:18,720
approach Eckler at five nine two hundred, and it's worked well.

297
00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:20,960
They're one to one entering me three. Jay and Daniels

298
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,720
a huge proponent or reason behind it, even though he's

299
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,600
taking far too many hits and running the ball himself

300
00:15:25,639 --> 00:15:29,440
too much. That's a conversation for another episode. Washington's OC

301
00:15:29,639 --> 00:15:32,840
Cliff Kingsbury seems to favor Robinson on early downs and

302
00:15:32,879 --> 00:15:35,759
Eckler as a change of pace or package specific weapon

303
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:38,200
out of the backfield, perhaps high levelged opportunities in the

304
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,519
red zone, or Eckler has so much experience. I will

305
00:15:40,559 --> 00:15:42,879
say that washing both running backs at times, I do

306
00:15:42,919 --> 00:15:45,639
think that Eckler has more juice, well looks more explosive,

307
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,919
closer to his former top tier version of himself. However,

308
00:15:48,919 --> 00:15:53,240
it's rather clear that Washington envisions Robinson as a bell

309
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,200
cow and he's a physical, tough runner at six one

310
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,279
two twenty eight, where Eckler doesn't have that mentality or

311
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,720
even ability this stage of his late career arc to

312
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,679
take that sort of beating. So it's a great RBBC.

313
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,919
Of course you prefer to Roster Robinson junior for the volume,

314
00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:12,159
but Eckler in his own right week one fifty three

315
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,399
percent of snaps week two four three percent compared to

316
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,639
sixteen to fifty six for Robinson Juniors. It is a

317
00:16:16,679 --> 00:16:21,120
true RBBC where Washington's offense should only improve as Jaden

318
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,440
Daniels acclimates more and more. Bottom line is if you

319
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,720
need help with a running back, Robinson Junior and Eckler are

320
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:30,279
solid foundation pieces both in the RB two conversation, Eckler

321
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,360
more so RB three flex but I do think just

322
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,840
watching film that Eckler's rule is only going to grow

323
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,399
and if there's negative game script that favors Eckler's proven

324
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,879
pass pro chops as well as receiving capabilities from his

325
00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:43,919
time with the Chargers. And then, last, but not least,

326
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,000
we've learned that Brock Bauers is the real deal. Nine

327
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,279
for ninety eight nine targets, ten point nine yards per

328
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,320
catch against Baltimore, sixty eight percent of snaps. Brock was

329
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,559
thrown to the fire week one against the Chargers six

330
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,240
grabs with the eight yards on eight targets, again identical

331
00:16:57,279 --> 00:16:59,799
sixty percent snap rates in week two's USIG show that

332
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,279
it is no fluke Listen. Bowers is a terrific route runner, athlete, receiver,

333
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,200
and it makes it easy to feature him as an

334
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,319
outlet of the shorts intermediate parts of the field thanks

335
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,720
to us after the catch instincts and the yard at

336
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:13,960
the contact ability. Anyone who's watched a minute of Brock

337
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,799
Bowers Georgia film can attest to that. I don't think

338
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:19,240
it's outlandish. This is not a hot take to consider

339
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:22,319
him in the Dynasty Titan one overall conversation or close

340
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,640
to it if this role continues on its current path

341
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,759
with the Raiders. I know Sam Laport's off to a

342
00:17:27,759 --> 00:17:29,519
slow start, but he's still my tight end one overall

343
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:32,359
in Dynasty for the time being. His rookie season was historic.

344
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,720
Of course, James Williams the target shares eating into Laporta's role,

345
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,319
but it's too short of a sample size to lower Laporta.

346
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,480
But I'm telling you that brock Bowers, if he's not

347
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:44,400
already in people's minds that high as Titan one overall,

348
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,359
it's going to be a pressing topic in short order.

349
00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:50,839
And then Bowers proving to just NFL teams that's thied

350
00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:53,960
in the thirteenth Overall was a mistake by franchises who

351
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,480
needed a cornerstone building block as a receiver and fundamental

352
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,680
component of an offense. Sure at brock By is labeled

353
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,559
a tight end, but we know he's much more than

354
00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:06,119
that and can contribute in all facets of an offense,

355
00:18:06,319 --> 00:18:08,759
which is an invaluable resource to have when he's a

356
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:10,599
terrific pass catcher that will do it. If you all

357
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,640
enjoyed my week two lessons learned, what were your lessons learned?

358
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,160
Hit me up on social media. I always like the

359
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,599
feedback about episodes and potentially things that I missed. Of course,

360
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,039
a one man show, I'm not going to talk about

361
00:18:20,079 --> 00:18:22,920
every single slate or game from a given week, just

362
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,519

363
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:28,559
help you win the next week or season long. If
