You love him? 84 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.759 From the KFFFC KFFFC dot com. He is the definitive 85 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.800 commissioner of fantasy football. I bring him in right now, 86 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.480 ladies and gentlemen, Good Wednesday evening to you, Farrell Elliott Monky. 87 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.839 How are you sign? You look like somewhat perplexed and 88 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.439 tanned at the same time. 89 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.199 Yeah, well, it's sort of my thing. 90 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.439 I was trying to watch the end of the soccer 91 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.639 match between the United States at Bosnia before we got 92 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.000 started tonight. Sadly, too much stoppage time at the end. 93 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:48.600 I didn't get to catch the end of it, but 94 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.800 I just see the final score right now, go go 95 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.360 USA onto the round of sixteen. They beat Bosnia to 96 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.920 nil and farrel there is a guy on the Bosnian 97 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.800 team who played high schooler, who attended high school. But 98 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:04.639 a ten minute drive for me in Appleton. 99 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:05.360 How about that? 100 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.759 For that Appleton's outreach into the world. But the culture 101 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:16.279 of consumption of beer, of fantasy football, it's an unbelievable. 102 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.560 If you want to be in the center of everything, 103 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.759 you should move to Ale, Wisconsin. That's why you are 104 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:22.800 the consul at Oh. 105 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.199 Sir, well, thank you so much. I appreciate that. 106 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.519 For there was a red card involved. I do not understand. 107 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.079 I just I thought it was Valentine's Day or something. 108 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.959 I don't know. I don't know what's going on. 109 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:36.720 That's okay. 110 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.680 You do know what's going on with American football, and 111 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.680 that's what we'll be talking about tonight, much to your happiness. 112 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.439 I'm assuming that we need to talk about this and 113 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.800 Pharaoh will lead things off tonight with the world champs 114 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:51.839 Seattle Seahawks. I want to get your take on this 115 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.680 Jendarian Price thing. Brady Henderson, who covers the Seahawks for 116 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.160 ESPN dot Com, wrote that the Seahawks quote did not 117 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.199 draft Jedari Price with the thought that he'd be a 118 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.759 high volume starter right away. 119 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:06.199 Let's expound on this. 120 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.199 Henderson said that the expectation early on is that Price 121 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.720 is gonna split work with George Halani. Emmanuel Wilson signed 122 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.240 from the Green Bay Packers. The team is gonna wait 123 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.720 for Zach Charbona to come back from his injury, and 124 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.839 then it could be Jenarian Price and Zach charbone in 125 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.839 the backfield going forward for Seattle for the re mainer 126 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.120 this season. Now, obviously we're talking about this here in 127 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.800 July first, but if we look at Week one, This 128 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:36.160 could look radically different in regards to if somebody steps 129 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.160 up in training camp and looks like they're the man. 130 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:39.839 But this does not sound. 131 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.680 This sounds more like a muddy backfield rather than a 132 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.240 backfield where we kind of know what's going on, right, 133 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.800 And that's fine, we deal with that all the time. 134 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.160 But the question is barrel if this is indeed a 135 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:57.800 muddy backfield. Our FFPC players over drafting Jendarian Price right now. 136 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.000 I'm looking at the mojo on him at Fantasy Mode 137 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.360 Joe on x fantasymojo dot com. Darren Armani runs that site. 138 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.920 He's also the godfather of the pro Versus Joe's Challenge. 139 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:07.600 If you follow him, you've been seeing all these pros 140 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.360 Versus Joe's League announcements that we'll be covering here at 141 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.240 the end of this month right here on the HSFF hour, 142 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.040 and anytime we cite ADP on this show with the FFPC, 143 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.959 it is all through his website. So Jeneian Price over 144 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:23.720 the last five days for running back twenty six at 145 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.720 the six oh four, that's where he's going right now. 146 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.240 It's ahead of Pollard, it's ahead of Warren, it's ahead 147 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.079 of Stevenson, Brooks Hubbard, who'll get into that more on 148 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.439 later on in the show. Do you feel like that's 149 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.519 a price you want to pay for a guy who 150 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.639 you know? Quite frankly, we're getting this from the Beat 151 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:40.560 writer himself. That doesn't sound like this is going to 152 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.279 be his backfield at any point this season, because by 153 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.279 the time he gets his feet wet, he sheds the 154 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.319 rookie label, as most rookies do. In November December, that's 155 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.759 when sharbon A can be back. And I'll say this 156 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.759 and I'll let you answer. And remember sharbon Ay may 157 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.319 not be full speed ahead Zach Sharboney coming off this 158 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.519 serious knee injury. However, the Seahawks are still going to 159 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.480 plan and that's still gonna take away volume for jendariing Price. 160 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.160 I am out in the price business at running back 161 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.839 twenty six in the early sixth round. 162 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:12.639 But I'll let you win, oh man, I sure am too, Bulky. 163 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.360 I wouldn't even think about it, wouldn't consider it. First 164 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.800 of all, you make a you and the columnist there, 165 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:26.240 the Beat writer, makes it a deft definition of what 166 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.839 the coaching staff is working with. This coaching staff is 167 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.040 pretty high on themselves. They want a big game back 168 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.879 in February. You know, they think they can They think 169 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.120 they can do no wrong, and they may be right 170 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.879 about that. Now, look at Halani. Most people don't know 171 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:43.080 anything about him. Good player out of Boise State, change 172 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.679 directions very quickly, and has been there now for two seasons. 173 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.639 I think that's right, Bulky, two seasons in Seattle. They 174 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.840 understand who this player is and theyre going to use 175 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:57.799 him accordingly generian price. Good player. Let's don't get carried 176 00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:02.879 away with familiarity of a running back from a superior 177 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.840 school that we're all that we've all looked at. We're 178 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.279 going to talk with our guests tonight a little bit 179 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.720 about drafting rookies, but this is one that is skewed 180 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.639 way out of control as far as yeah. 181 00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.639 And the other thing too is I never and again 182 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.960 I don't know, and we haven't really seen him be 183 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.120 in the driver's seat of a backfield in college because 184 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:25.120 he's playing behind Jeremi level. He may be very, very good, 185 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.720 but what we do know is he did not catch 186 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:28.679 passes in college. 187 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.200 Doesn't mean he can't catches in the pros. 188 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.360 But I'm building up this case here where if this 189 00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.600 goes right, if this goes right. If this goes right, 190 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:38.639 then yeah, he might pay off on this early six 191 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.000 round ADP. A lot of stuff that has to go right, 192 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.240 and you and I are both shying away from him 193 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:43.720 at the moment. 194 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.879 The short passing game in this offense could be the 195 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:51.919 supplement to the rushing game until sharbon a sharbon at 196 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.879 returns and this group of running backs developed themselves as 197 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:57.000 a steady contributor. 198 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.039 And by the way, we'll have more information on that 199 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.600 passing game coming up on I believe extra reps on 200 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.960 Friday with our guests, and I'll announce that here shortly. 201 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.600 Let's get into the next piece of news that we 202 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:14.679 have here. Danielle Oyafusi, who covers the Browns for ESPN, 203 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:19.279 talked about Cleveland getting Casey Conceptsio on the ball in 204 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:24.200 a quote bevy of ways during the offseason programs. Oyafusi 205 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.320 says that they want to play. 206 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.679 Or at least the plan for Cleveland, he believes, is. 207 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.360 The plan to play Conceptsion, getting the ball on deep shots, 208 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.919 getting the ball on screens, and getting the ball on 209 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.639 running plays as well. He's been very versatile in throughout 210 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.879 his collegiate career at multiple stops, and it was reported 211 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.200 earlier this month that Todd Monkin, the new head coach 212 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.840 of Cleveland, was going to design plays to get the 213 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.200 ball in Conceptscio's hands. 214 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.360 This is something that you know, the drum. 215 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.399 Beat, so to speak, is continuing here in regards to 216 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:57.480 what we could think of Conceptsion doing as far as 217 00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:58.600 fantasy goes this year. 218 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:00.919 Now he can I don't want. 219 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.080 To compare him to Deebo Samuel, but certainly in that 220 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:04.799 short area of the field, there's a lot to like 221 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.000 there with what his chops are and probably the best 222 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.279 part Perrel. And I'm burying the lead on this is 223 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:14.440 the price that we are paying for Casey Conceptsione right now, 224 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:16.679 for a guy who could be the number one wide 225 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.759 receiver on this team. And yeah, I know they have 226 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.960 a Harold fan and so on and so forth, but 227 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.120 he is being drafted outside the top fifty wide receivers 228 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.360 in the Big Gorilla right now. Over the last five 229 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.759 days Parrel wide receiver fifty one. He's going at the 230 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.120 eleven oh one, So he's outside of the top ten picks. 231 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.480 A top ten rounds of the Big Gorilla as well. 232 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.320 He is going after Matthew Golden Jacoby Myers, Jordan Addison. 233 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.320 Concepcion is a player that I probably want to get 234 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:46.799 more exposure to as my fantasy drafting season continues, and 235 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.360 I feel like this is a player that if you 236 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.399 want to buy into him now, it's the time to 237 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:52.799 do it, because I think he's just going to keep 238 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:54.840 going up and up and up eightyp boards. 239 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.840 I think you're exactly right. Bulk is another case for 240 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.919 why you want to draft early. Has he been a 241 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:04.399 bit consistent around that eleventh round pick. I think that's 242 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:08.240 where he's sort of plateaued, and he might have He 243 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.440 might have before the Cleveland Browns selected him, might have 244 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.879 been going even earlier. Now. This is if we back 245 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.639 up a little bit, I think there is some congratulatories 246 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.919 to hang out, handout rather to the Cleveland Browns front office. 247 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:27.720 They've drafted a player here who is checking off all 248 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.320 the proverbial marks of what you want in a young 249 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.480 locker room. It concerned me a little bit that we've 250 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.320 got a head coach coming in here that's sixty years old. 251 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:42.879 He's his only head coaching experiences with Southern Mississippi. You know, 252 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.120 he's he's got to deal with a very very young 253 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.720 team and a bit of a quarterback controversy. Thus enters 254 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.000 this concepcion who's had nothing but the right time thing 255 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.960 to say every time they put a microphone in front 256 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.000 of his space, and he backs it up with what 257 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.639 he's done on the field. And somehow magically a team 258 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.879 that has always been somewhat fractured seems to be coming 259 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.840 together and it's concepts the owned fans have seen this, 260 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.679 probably from his experience in college. He's a young guy 261 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:20.720 at twenty one years old. He's gracefully aging within the 262 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.240 locker room and being a guy that you can depend on. 263 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:28.960 So his skill set relates to both quarterbacks. Whoever wins 264 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.159 that quarterback position is going to rely on this player. 265 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.480 So that's why you know he's going to be likely 266 00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:40.200 the number one receiver for this team. There's just a 267 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.879 lot to like about this player, and I think it 268 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:48.039 gets better as the season goes on. So I'm all 269 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:51.799 four drafting this player at this eleventh round and even higher. 270 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:53.840 I would take him up until the ninth or eighth, 271 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.559 which is probably where he's going to end up later. 272 00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.639 Yeah, and that's a good point too, is even if 273 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.120 you write a round maybe two rounds, he might still 274 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.840 be a bye. I understand that Fannin is probably going 275 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:06.879 to be you know, he could be the number one 276 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.639 target there overall, regardless. 277 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.559 Position, for the remainder of the season. 278 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:12.080 And I know there's a lot of people that are 279 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.639 going to talk to me about Shader Sanders, Deshaun Watson 280 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:16.679 and the problems with the quarterbacks are the problem with 281 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.440 the quarterback position on that team as well. But when 282 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.360 it comes down to it, even if this guy goes 283 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:23.759 up a little bit more, I still think that that 284 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.960 ceiling is worth chase chasing when you're talking about some 285 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.600 of those other receivers I mentioned going around for sure. 286 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:30.360 Now he's a. 287 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.639 Rookie, let's talk about a season veteran here before we 288 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:35.840 get to our guest who's coming up in just a minute, 289 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.799 in Vic Davis. Albert Breer, who covers the NFL for 290 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.240 Sports Illustrator, wrote this past week that Patrick Mahomes is 291 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:47.480 quote trending towards being cleared for eleven on eleven at 292 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:51.000 the start of training camp. He's ahead of schedule, which 293 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.519 I've said on this show. Being ahead of acl repair 294 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.039 schedule is the new on schedule, right If you're a 295 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.159 head of schedule. You're on schedule. If you're on schedule, 296 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.600 you're behind. If you're not talking about it all, you're 297 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.039 way behind on your So you could see the Chiefs 298 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.399 being cautious with him. You can see, you know, Kansas City, 299 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.519 he doesn't want to take chances with a veteran who's 300 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:11.000 done it all. 301 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.240 He doesn't need probably a whole lot of work. 302 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:17.039 And if that's the case, you know, if Mahomes is 303 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:20.080 going to be doing eleven on eleven in at training 304 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.039 camp this year at Farrell, I have to question what 305 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.519 FFPC players are doing with how they're picking this guy 306 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.960 in the Big Gorilla. Over the last five days, according 307 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:33.120 to Fantasy Mojo, we are seeing Mahomes go as the 308 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.120 quarterback thirteen. For those of you uninitiated to math, that 309 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.519 means he's not being drafted as a starter. There are 310 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:44.039 twelve quarterbacks going ahead of including Brock Purdy, Jackson Dark 311 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.360 Dak Prescott. All those players are going ahead of this 312 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:51.679 all world quarterback and Patrick Mahons. The rushing numbers will 313 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.600 probably not what will not be what they were last year. 314 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.240 I would imagine coming off this knee injury, but getting 315 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.919 this guy as a backup Pharreh or I say, letting 316 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.759 twelve quarterbacks go off the board and then nabbing Patrick 317 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.360 Mahomes in the mid eleventh rout. This is a guy 318 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:09.120 that's got to go up too, right, because I love 319 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:09.919 this adp. 320 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.600 For him at this point. 321 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.279 I like it, and I think that our fantasy drafters 322 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.879 have been drafting Patrick Mahomes for a lot of years, 323 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:19.799 and the ones who did it last year didn't do 324 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:25.879 it successfully. Just there's a hesitancy with certain things that 325 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.919 you can question about where this Kansas City team is going. 326 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:35.000 I think all the questions have rosy answers. So I'm 327 00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:39.639 pro Mahomes, you know, but the word is out. Everyone 328 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:45.840 who subscribes to Darren's mojo can understand that right now 329 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:49.080 you don't have to overpay for this quarterback, so you 330 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:53.960 know it's there. They're wise drafters to sit back and 331 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:57.240 take the opportunity. But no, I wouldn't draft a few 332 00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.600 of those guys that you mentioned in front of him. 333 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:03.639 And you know I, I think he's gonna be in 334 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.880 a very exciting year in Kansas City, and I really 335 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.839 look forward to the addition of the running back from 336 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:13.640 this offense. I'll look forward to Kelsey's return to health, 337 00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.640 and I look forward to mahomes return to hell. So 338 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.480 it's and most of all the offense coordinator back in 339 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:20.839 the room. 340 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:23.680 And I'm not buying the argument too. I know that, 341 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:25.720 and listen, I could be wrong anything I say on 342 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:28.519 the show, I could be wrong about. No, not really, 343 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.519 I'm not, but I'll say this. We talked about range 344 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:35.799 of outcomes on this show. One of the one of 345 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:39.039 the things I'm not buying into, maybe to my own detriment, 346 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:40.960 is the fact that Kansas City gave all this money 347 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.720 to Kenneth Walker. They signed Mari Day Mercado, they draft 348 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.160 Emmitt Johnson, right, so they have this this new new 349 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:49.799 found focus on the running game and throw those other 350 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:51.960 those last two guys out. Let's just talk about Walker 351 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.200 here for a second. They paid a lot for this guy, 352 00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:57.720 the Super Bowl MVP, a pedigreed guy in the NFL draft, 353 00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:01.039 the guy who's been a big play merchant over the 354 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.359 course of his young NFL career. I'm not buying the 355 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:06.720 argument that somehow Kansas City is going to transform into 356 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:10.000 riding Kenneth Walker this season, which will also take away 357 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.079 from Mahomes. Even if Walker is having a successful season. 358 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.359 I think a rising tide raises all ships, and it 359 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:19.920 will make Patrick Mahomes a better fantasy players with. 360 00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:24.759 Very very good, complimentary running back to this offensive attack 361 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.000 make second and short a wonderful down for Mahomes. And 362 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:33.079 that's that's really what you're dealing with with the quarterback, 363 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:35.759 like Mahomes is down in distance football, if you can 364 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:37.759 get in within a few yards of a first down 365 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:40.680 after a five or six yard rushing play on the 366 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:43.559 first on first down, which he didn't necessarily have that 367 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:49.640 last year. Now, and it's yeah, it's it's really a 368 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.119 good thing. Tell me. Now, we talked about some of 369 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.359 the quarterbacks going in front of him. Let me throw 370 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:55.960 a couple of quick ons at you. Who would you 371 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.519 take before if you had the choice. So you're sitting 372 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.119 at so you're sitting at one of the turns at 373 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.759 the number twelve position. Do you take Mahomes or do 374 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:05.640 you take Prescott? 375 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:14.319 I think I would probably take Prescott to go ahead? 376 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:15.720 Do you take Mahomes? Hurts? 377 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.279 I would I would take Jalen Hurts and and and 378 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.319 I'll and I'll say, like listen, Mahomes could easily finish 379 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.920 ahead of either one of those guys, I love drafting 380 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.519 Hurts this year because I think a lot of people 381 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:28.559 are down on him based on what happened last year. 382 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:31.440 Is rushing totals were way down, probably the worst of 383 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.559 his career. I think he's in for some nice positive aggression. 384 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:37.240 I just traded in one of the Kentucky Dynasty. 385 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:37.440 Leagues, Farrell. 386 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.640 Uh, straight up, I with Doc Hakey. Actually, I swapped 387 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:43.839 my rock party and got his Jalen Hurts, And I 388 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:45.000 feel really good about that. 389 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.039 You know, it's amazing anyone would ever trade with you 390 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:53.759 in the Dynasty, It really is. It's it's just but 391 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.440 you know, Doc Hekey has the swagger to do it, 392 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.559 and then that makes that makes sense? 393 00:19:58.839 --> 00:19:59.240 Would you? 394 00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:03.160 But you would never, my Goodnessue would never take a 395 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.160 party ahead of Mahomes. 396 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:07.519 You know I probably would not. 397 00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:08.960 What about Stafford? 398 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:11.839 No, take Mahomes out of Stafford. 399 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:12.079 Yeah. 400 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:14.319 See, Okay, I think you're in the right place. But 401 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:18.559
