38
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 1>for the most appearances. I'm coming for him. I listened

39
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>to that show. It was very well done. But yeah, dude,

40
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>by the time this show drops will be inside of

41
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 1>two weeks from our debut episode on Serious XM Sundays

42
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.439
<v Speaker 1>three to five in the off season or draft season

43
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>as we want to call it, and then during the

44
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 1>year you can catch Drew and I on Fantasy Points

45
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>game day from seven to nine pm Eastern, so there's

46
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>still gonna be that late window going on. We'll be

47
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 1>able to talk about and everything else that's going on

48
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>around fantasy football for that day. So that's super exciting.

49
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm fired up to get that going here. My gosh,

50
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>that'll be here before you know. I have a nine

51
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>mile road race earlier that day before our first show.

52
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, that's no sweat for you.

53
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the Utica boiler Maker.

54
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>It's actually a really big road race kind of on

55
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>the East coast here that people might know about. But yeah,

56
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll be doing that and then drinking a beer or

57
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>two and then coming back home and we're getting out

58
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>of the air.

59
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>So that'll be a great time. Nothing different, sounds awesome.

60
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 2>So during the season, it's what hours during the season three.

61
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 4>To During the season, we are on the air seven

62
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:20.639
<v Speaker 4>to nine.

63
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay. I was thinking it was six to eight.

64
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 4>So you're right. I think it is six to eight.

65
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, I don't want to take you wrong. Okay,

66
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>all right, See he's on the air too much, he does.

67
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>He's got all his shows get mixed up. So I

68
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 2>tell you what, I've positioned myself here in the basement

69
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.039
<v Speaker 2>so that when we're on the air in season, I've

70
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 2>still got my five TVs here over my shoulder here

71
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 2>so I can see what's going on. We can recap

72
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>all the day's action. I'm so stoked for all of

73
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.039
<v Speaker 2>that to get started, and again can't say thank you enough.

74
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 2>But I'll stop now on all that stuff. What else

75
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 2>has been going on with you?

76
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 4>Man?

77
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 2>What other content are you creating? And where can people

78
00:03:58.599 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 2>find your stuff?

79
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 1>So mainly right now I'm doing the Fantasy Points podcast

80
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 1>with John Hanson that drops twice a week wherever you

81
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>get your podcast, and then you know you and I

82
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 1>will be on serious. I'll be writing an article this

83
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>year as I always do the Defensive Streamer article at

84
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Points, and also doing work at The Huddle with

85
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>our friend Doug Orth, which is great. I used a

86
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 1>lot of the stuff I did for The Huddle last

87
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 1>year to get nominated for Football Writer of the Year

88
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 1>by the FSWA.

89
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 4>And we'll see whatever else can come along.

90
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I always try to pick up an extra gig or two,

91
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>but it's tough grinding this content out here. Man, There's

92
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 1>only so much time in the day, and like you,

93
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I've got two young children. My son's fourteen, my daughter's eleven.

94
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 1>So I remember last year, almost every no other of

95
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the week, I'm writing or producing some sort of fantasy content.

96
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>And it's you know, let's not cry ourselves a river here.

97
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not like we're digging a ditch. But

98
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 1>it's time consuming to do all this, to write something,

99
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 1>to record something, and to have a fresh take on it.

100
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that's what we're up to this year at least.

101
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think that it's under estimated what the creative

102
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.319
<v Speaker 2>process takes because it's not just sitting down, bang, knock

103
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 2>it out and throw it up there. There's editing that

104
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.519
<v Speaker 2>goes along with it, and there's the creative process that

105
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 2>has to of course be there in the first place.

106
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>And I really struggled the last couple of weeks with

107
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 2>the creative process. And so I'm back into what I

108
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>believe is peak draft season mode. And that's where we're

109
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 2>going to take you today because I know that the

110
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Auction Brief episode with Brian Drake is one of my

111
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 2>most listened to episodes every single year, bar none, and

112
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 2>I think it's partially because you and I. The banter

113
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>that we have is born from a lot of years

114
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 2>of fantasy football. How long you been playing fantasy football?

115
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh, jeez, I would imagine over twenty years at this point.

116
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I you know, I'd started when I was

117
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.920
<v Speaker 2>in law school, late nineties, early two thousands, So between us,

118
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 2>we've got fifty years a fantasy football experience. And believe me,

119
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I love the innovations to fantasy football these days, with

120
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>yards per rout run and the efficiency metrics about success

121
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.959
<v Speaker 2>rate and war and all that stuff. I love all

122
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 2>of these metrics. I think innovation is great. But when

123
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.319
<v Speaker 2>it really comes down to it, and we're sitting in

124
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 2>the draft room, a lot of times it just takes

125
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 2>some common sense. And I think that's why people like

126
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>the show that me and you do, because we're the

127
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.040
<v Speaker 2>kings of common sense here, aren't we.

128
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:29.920
<v Speaker 4>Oh.

129
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I think we've just spawned a tagline for the serious

130
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 1>XM show there.

131
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 4>I like that.

132
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll get that and cut into a promo. But yeah,

133
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.839
<v Speaker 1>And I was talking to some guys yesterday. I jumped on,

134
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm like in this home radio league where these listeners

135
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.920
<v Speaker 1>can join our league. And we did the draft reveal

136
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.959
<v Speaker 1>this week, so I joined the podcast and I said listen,

137
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.720
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of ways to win a fantasy league.

138
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Does it help you to draft good players? Of course,

139
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.079
<v Speaker 1>but there's a lot of luck involved, and like you said,

140
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:02.759
<v Speaker 1>with common sense and we'll talk about it today.

141
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 4>With some of these players, it's.

142
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:10.079
<v Speaker 1>Avoiding landmines, avoiding bad teams, bad quarterbacks, bad play callers.

143
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Like I think there's an article I want to write

144
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.319
<v Speaker 1>this summer where I'm gonna say, like, if you just

145
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.199
<v Speaker 1>want to draft a team of guys from like the McVeigh,

146
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 1>Shanahan Kubiak tree, Like what would that look like? Round

147
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.199
<v Speaker 1>by round? Even if you gotta like jump eightyp and

148
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>say I'm only drafting guys who are coached by guys

149
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>from this tree, and like, what would your team look like?

150
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>It might be an interesting exercise.

151
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:35.879
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

152
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>We'll see if I can find enough time between high

153
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 1>noons to bang it out.

154
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Well. Surfsiders for me these days, I don't know. You're

155
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 2>the one who got me into surfsiders.

156
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.639
<v Speaker 4>I had some of those yesterday in the pool.

157
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Now, what's your favorite kind the serf sider?

158
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.600
<v Speaker 4>I like just straight up regular lemonade.

159
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, I like the half and half.

160
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I hate iced tea.

161
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:57.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm not an iced team at all.

162
00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 4>At least he's the worst.

163
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Iced tea sucks. Watermelon sucks. My kids are upstairs right

164
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>now there. It's ninety degrees out here in central New

165
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:06.279
<v Speaker 1>York where I live, and they're.

166
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh, Dad, yeah, we're cutting up a watermelon.

167
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Ba. I would rather lick a rock than eat watermelon.

168
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.319
<v Speaker 1>Watermelon's the worst lick.

169
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>It's my kids freaking love what we bring home a watermelon.

170
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.639
<v Speaker 2>That thing's gone in a day. Yeah, it's just it's

171
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.199
<v Speaker 2>absurd that it.

172
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:27.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but pineappleons. That's pineappleons where it's at. And then

173
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>there's these new things out also made by surf Side.

174
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 4>They're called sports Light.

175
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not not that they're a sponsor of the show,

176
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.519
<v Speaker 1>but they're like basically alcoholic gatorade. I think they're about

177
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.519
<v Speaker 1>super light, to be honest, I'll bring some of the

178
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>expo and dude, they're dangerous.

179
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker 4>You could drink forty of these.

180
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 1>Things and you're getting electro lights while you drink, so

181
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.759
<v Speaker 1>kind of rehydrate anti you know. So it's it's interesting,

182
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, that's I don't know. I've just kind of

183
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>gotten off the beer kick, even though I love IPA's

184
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>they're too heavy, and you know, I'm running a ton

185
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.639
<v Speaker 1>these days, so I don't want to kind of just

186
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>get way down with them.

187
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, look, we could talk about alcohol, we can

188
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>talk about all the stuff we could screw around other

189
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:17.799
<v Speaker 2>episodes popular, but let's talk fantasy football. And I'm trying

190
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 2>my best to get people out under an hour. I'm

191
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 2>shooting for forty five, but I'm trying to get out

192
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 2>under an hour because I want people to be able

193
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 2>to consume the show and small bites, and that's important

194
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 2>these days. So we got a couple of different topics today.

195
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.320
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna play a little game of this or that

196
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:34.919
<v Speaker 2>where I'm gonna give you some choices and you can

197
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 2>tell me what you like. But before we do that,

198
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 2>one of my favorite things to ask the guests that

199
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.919
<v Speaker 2>I have on the show is something that you've learned

200
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.320
<v Speaker 2>from twenty twenty five, because everyone's always got a different perspective,

201
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.720
<v Speaker 2>and I really enjoy smart people giving me the perspective

202
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.919
<v Speaker 2>on what they learned last year. So what did you

203
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.879
<v Speaker 2>take out of twenty twenty five you want to use

204
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:53.279
<v Speaker 2>this year?

205
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.320
<v Speaker 1>And this came from my home league. This didn't come

206
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>from playing in the King's Classic or playing in expert

207
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Leagues or best Ball or anything. This really just came

208
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:06.759
<v Speaker 1>from playing with my twelve buddies, and it's a lesson

209
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 1>that should be very obvious. But in today's day and

210
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.799
<v Speaker 1>age and where ADP is headed, I think we need

211
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.480
<v Speaker 1>to really dive headfirst into it, and it's leaning into

212
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>pass catching running backs more than ever, so Drew. Last year,

213
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I did the little research here. Yes, imagine that I

214
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:25.039
<v Speaker 1>did some research. Fifteen running backs saw at least fifty

215
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.559
<v Speaker 1>targets last year, all but one of them that was

216
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Taja Spears average at least twelve PPR points per game.

217
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>So listen, not everyone's going to get a chance to

218
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:38.039
<v Speaker 1>draft CMC or Bejon or Gibbs. You got to be

219
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 1>in the top half of your draft. But you can

220
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.399
<v Speaker 1>get your hands on guys like you know, Travis etn

221
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Javonte Williams, Kyrone Williams, Chase Brown, hell, even Kenny Gainwell.

222
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.679
<v Speaker 1>To me, those guys are so much more valuable than

223
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>especially in a PPR like a Jacori Krossky. Merit of

224
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>the world was like a between the twenty grinder, and

225
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of guys who didn't even get to

226
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.320
<v Speaker 1>that fifty target number laslast year.

227
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:01.440
<v Speaker 4>Who I think ken this year?

228
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, look at a guy like Camp Scattabo, Rashad White,

229
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Breis Hall who surprisingly didn't get there. So with all

230
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.679
<v Speaker 1>these running backs flying off the board, drew thirteen of

231
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 1>the top twenty four picks by adp in redraft that

232
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I just looked at earlier today, thirteen of the top

233
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty four picks are running backs.

234
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:21.399
<v Speaker 4>So if you're waiting till the middle rounds.

235
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>It's completely dried up and God knows what you're going

236
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.559
<v Speaker 1>to get at that point. So get in the running

237
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:30.080
<v Speaker 1>back business fairly early. Focus on the guys who catch passes.

238
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the pendulum has certainly swung back to the running

239
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.320
<v Speaker 2>backs in the first two rounds. People are more nervous.

240
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.440
<v Speaker 2>And I talked about this with maybe it was rich

241
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Reebar a couple of weeks ago about there's just very

242
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 2>few alpha receivers that are commanding that thirty percent plus

243
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 2>target share, So instead people are swinging back to the

244
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.639
<v Speaker 2>running backs, and certainly the ones that are catching passes.

245
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.879
<v Speaker 2>So I like the first lesson out of the gate,

246
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.919
<v Speaker 2>and what we're going to do today with Drake is

247
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>we're going to play our little game of this or that,

248
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:03.279
<v Speaker 2>and this is going to be of course, you know,

249
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.759
<v Speaker 2>when I sell us as the common sense guys, it

250
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.399
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean that we don't have numbers, so that we

251
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.519
<v Speaker 2>don't like to look at numbers. But it's just that

252
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 2>when it comes down to it, we know that when

253
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 2>we get in a draft room and when we go

254
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:15.879
<v Speaker 2>to set our lineups on Sundays, there are certain things

255
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.039
<v Speaker 2>that matter that sometimes those numbers don't tell us about.

256
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 2>But let's do Let's try to hit both sides of this. Okay,

257
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:23.600
<v Speaker 2>We're going to go right out of the gate with

258
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.559
<v Speaker 2>the quagmire in Pittsburgh. It seems that nobody cares whatsoever

259
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.879
<v Speaker 2>about the Pittsburgh Steelers offense for fantasy football. I don't

260
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.720
<v Speaker 2>blame them, but there's going to be some value here.

261
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Rodgers is QB twenty eight. I think that's weird.

262
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm not a Rogers guy whatsoever, but QB twenty

263
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:48.519
<v Speaker 2>eight feels just completely odd. At running back. I want

264
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.039
<v Speaker 2>to ask you your first this or that question. We've

265
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.240
<v Speaker 2>got Rico Dowdell and Jalen Warren there. Now. They signed Dowdell.

266
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.399
<v Speaker 2>He's going off the board as RB thirty two and

267
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Warren's RB twenty eight. The market telling us they

268
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 2>don't care about either one, and Jalen Warren only slightly more.

269
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.440
<v Speaker 2>But you know, both guys can be drafted as RB thre's.

270
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 2>It feels like at least one of these guys is

271
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.279
<v Speaker 2>miss priced. Let me ask you in each of these

272
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 2>this or that, I want to ask you, first of all,

273
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 2>who do you want straight up? And then I want

274
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.159
<v Speaker 2>to ask you who do you want with ADP, so

275
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.399
<v Speaker 2>roll that into your answer, if you would, Rico or Jalen.

276
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:25.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

277
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.039
<v Speaker 1>So, last year, my guy uncle Rico had three weeks

278
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>where he finishes either the overall RB one or RB

279
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.480
<v Speaker 1>two on the week. But those are like huge volume weeks, right,

280
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>He had minimally twenty six touches in those games. He's

281
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.159
<v Speaker 1>a guy who needs a ton of volume to come through,

282
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and I just don't know if he's gonna get that

283
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 1>this year, splitting time with Jalen Warren, so I think inevitably,

284
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:46.519
<v Speaker 1>whoever's gonna come out of his backfield is whoever's gonna

285
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>stay healthy. But Rico does reunite with Mike McCarthy, who

286
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.279
<v Speaker 1>oversaw his twenty twenty four RB twenty three finish. So

287
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Rico this is the guy, though, who can play on

288
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.759
<v Speaker 1>all three downs. Like we said, I don't know if

289
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.279
<v Speaker 1>he's necessarily gonna get that in Pittsburgh, but it comes

290
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>down to who Aaron Rodgers trust next to him. And

291
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Warren is not a tough runner. He's not great

292
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>at really anything. To me, he's more of a change

293
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>of pace back. I thought he wore down last year.

294
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Gainwell surpassed him down the stretch. You know, Tyler

295
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Warren and Tyler Warren Jesus, Jalen Warren didn't play more

296
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.120
<v Speaker 1>than fifty percent of the snaps in any game.

297
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 4>After Week twelve.

298
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So you got Rico, who I think is going

299
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>to get the goal line work, and as the season

300
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:30.600
<v Speaker 1>goes on, it is going to show that he is

301
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>a very competent pass catcher out there. Over the course

302
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.399
<v Speaker 1>of the season, I think Aaron Rodgers is going to

303
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.279
<v Speaker 1>see that and enjoy that. And with the history with McCarthy,

304
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm leaning in uncle Rico here.

305
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.639
<v Speaker 4>They brought him in. He's very capable in being a

306
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 4>three down back. So I just I don't know. I don't.

307
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:49.559
<v Speaker 4>I think Jalen.

308
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Warren was miscast last year as someone who we're gonna

309
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 1>make him a feature back. I think that was a mistake,

310
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.559
<v Speaker 1>and part of that is they whiffed on Caleb Johnson

311
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:58.799
<v Speaker 1>on Iowa in the draft, who they thought was going

312
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to come in to be their Naji Herrit. Yes, so

313
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe Rico dwald will comes in and he is their

314
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Naji Harris again.

315
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it sounds like it's pretty easy for you.

316
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:12.559
<v Speaker 2>It's Rico in a vacuum, and he's the cheaper running back,

317
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.759
<v Speaker 2>so obviously it's Rico at his price. I think this

318
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:17.480
<v Speaker 2>is great. This is why I have smart people on

319
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.960
<v Speaker 2>the show, because it challenges my worldview. And I've just

320
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.360
<v Speaker 2>been thinking that Warren is a little bit too cheap

321
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:25.960
<v Speaker 2>because he's going to slide back into the pass catching

322
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.639
<v Speaker 2>role that sort of got stolen from him by gain

323
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Wall at the end of the year. But I think

324
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 2>you make an excellent point that he wore down a

325
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.919
<v Speaker 2>little bit and the Steelers realized they needed to get

326
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.360
<v Speaker 2>him off the field more, and so hence Rico Dowdell.

327
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:42.759
<v Speaker 2>I still believe to your first point that opened the show,

328
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.960
<v Speaker 2>that we could see forty five to fifty catches though

329
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:49.639
<v Speaker 2>from Warren, So I like that aspect as well, But

330
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:50.799
<v Speaker 2>I think, okay.

331
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, as cheap options, I'm not mad at either one

332
00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>on my team, like a start either guy.

333
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:01.080
<v Speaker 4>No, But if you're in a deep league that's gonna.

334
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.039
<v Speaker 1>Have a lot of flex spots to start, like, you

335
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:03.919
<v Speaker 1>don't want either of these guys?

336
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Are kings classic cough cough, Yeah.

337
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.519
<v Speaker 1>But we play in a league where it's a fourteen

338
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.039
<v Speaker 1>team league that starts two running backs and then an

339
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.799
<v Speaker 1>additional three flexes. Rico and Jalen Warren are going to

340
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.159
<v Speaker 1>start at flex every week in that league every week.

341
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.679
<v Speaker 2>You're excited to have those guys at flex every week.

342
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:20.480
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely.

343
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's move on to the wide receivers. They are

344
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:29.200
<v Speaker 2>also stuck where nobody cares about them. In fact, I

345
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.840
<v Speaker 2>think this is kind of funny because DK Metcalf, a

346
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.720
<v Speaker 2>former Fantasy Darling, is down there at wide receiver, and

347
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.320
<v Speaker 2>we've got Michael Pittman down at wide receiver forty one.

348
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:43.200
<v Speaker 2>So nobody cares about Rogers QB twenty eight, Metcalf wide

349
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.399
<v Speaker 2>receiver thirty five, Pittman wide receiver forty one. I would

350
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:49.159
<v Speaker 2>guess these guys are going to outperform their adp. It's

351
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.080
<v Speaker 2>a matter of how much do we care. So which

352
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:54.799
<v Speaker 2>guy do you want straight up and which guy do

353
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>you want the price? The price really isn't that different

354
00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:58.440
<v Speaker 2>at this point. Metcalf or Pittman.

355
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:00.759
<v Speaker 4>For me, it's Michael pitt Now.

356
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.879
<v Speaker 1>The reason behind that is Aaron Rodgers wants to get

357
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:06.519
<v Speaker 1>the ball out quickly. He's super old. He doesn't want

358
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.519
<v Speaker 1>to get hit. They're gonna play a ton of three

359
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:11.880
<v Speaker 1>wide sets. They just drafted a kid, Jeremy Bernard out

360
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.000
<v Speaker 1>of Alabama. They want to Makay Lemon. Eagles made sure

361
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.559
<v Speaker 1>that didn't happen. But here's some nuggets for you. Of

362
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:21.279
<v Speaker 1>all quarterbacks with one hundred attempts last year, Aaron Rodgers

363
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.519
<v Speaker 1>had the fastest time to throw. That's a stat from

364
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Points data, at two point.

365
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.279
<v Speaker 4>Three eight seconds.

366
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so he's getting the ball out short and he's

367
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:31.559
<v Speaker 1>getting out fast.

368
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.119
<v Speaker 4>His deep throw percentage everyone.

369
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Talking, oh, remember, well, Aaron Rodgers, all of these deep

370
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:38.279
<v Speaker 1>moon balls, blah blah blah. That ain't his game anymore.

371
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.519
<v Speaker 1>He was thirty fifth in the league at just nine

372
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.680
<v Speaker 1>point four percent of his deep throw percentage. So his

373
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.160
<v Speaker 1>six point two to a dot. Its average depth of

374
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:50.839
<v Speaker 1>target was only outdone by listening to these two gun slingers,

375
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Brady Cook and Dylan Gabriel. Okay, that's everybody who threw

376
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.799
<v Speaker 1>at least one hundred passes. So he's throwing short. These

377
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 1>are gonna be quick routes. Michael Pittman last year, his

378
00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:04.720
<v Speaker 1>a dout was eight point five in Indianapolis. DK Metcalf's

379
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.920
<v Speaker 1>ten point eight. Okay, now let's go dig a little deeper.

380
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Michael Pittman's best year in Indianapolis, he had over eleven

381
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred yards. His ad out was seven point nine. Dk

382
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Metcalf had his legit worst statistical season as a pro

383
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.480
<v Speaker 1>with Aaron Rodgers last year. He's never been a low

384
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:24.160
<v Speaker 1>aid dot player. He does not fit well with what

385
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers wants to do. So I like Pittman. I

386
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:29.759
<v Speaker 1>think he's a security blanket for Aaron Rodgers. And I

387
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.319
<v Speaker 1>think at wide receiver forty five is show whever's coming

388
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:34.119
<v Speaker 1>off board absolute steal.

389
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 2>Football guys hasn't met forty one. But either way, he's

390
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.200
<v Speaker 2>a wide receiver four. That seems like an easy play.

391
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:42.880
<v Speaker 2>And again, in those deeper leagues, that's an easy play

392
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.039
<v Speaker 2>for the back of your roster. But even when you're

393
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.759
<v Speaker 2>going through and I'll slip a little auction plug in here,

394
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:50.359
<v Speaker 2>when you're going through the auctions and nobody cares about

395
00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:52.400
<v Speaker 2>a guy like that, it's easy to make him your

396
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:55.200
<v Speaker 2>wide receiver six or seven for a couple bucks. And

397
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:56.680
<v Speaker 2>I just think he's gonna smash that.

398
00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:58.240
<v Speaker 4>Michael Pitman's a good player.

399
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, really could. Yeah, And I totally agree with the analysis.

400
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:05.480
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to finish thirty fifth in deep throw percentage

401
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:07.240
<v Speaker 2>when there's thirty two quarterbacks in the league. We know

402
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.559
<v Speaker 2>how much turnover the risk, but it's hard to finish

403
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:13.519
<v Speaker 2>thirty fifth. So excellent poll there. Okay, let's move on

404
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:17.039
<v Speaker 2>from the Steelers moribund offense because I did a little

405
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 2>bit of that last week. Let's talk about some more

406
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.799
<v Speaker 2>exciting players. How about Jeremiah Love in Arizona. This is

407
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:25.799
<v Speaker 2>kind of a rough situation because the thing I talked

408
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:28.720
<v Speaker 2>about with Marcus Grant was how bad their offensive line is.

409
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:30.920
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not sure they did a whole lot to

410
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.279
<v Speaker 2>make that better. But they bring in a coaching staff

411
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.359
<v Speaker 2>that clearly wants to run the ball. They signed Tyler Algier.

412
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.119
<v Speaker 2>They still have James Connor. They've got a three headed

413
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:42.240
<v Speaker 2>monster back there. They want to use it. Now. I

414
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:44.480
<v Speaker 2>expected Love to be a little bit higher in ADP,

415
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:48.400
<v Speaker 2>but right now he's RB thirteen. That seems somewhat palatable.

416
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.279
<v Speaker 2>But you're really got to still spend a mid to

417
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:52.480
<v Speaker 2>late second pick to make sure you get him. And

418
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.000
<v Speaker 2>there's four running backs after him that I could argue.

419
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I want more straight up, and they're going later. Let

420
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:00.400
<v Speaker 2>me ask you, let's do a lightning round quick, and

421
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 2>then I'll let you roll out your love analysis. Okay,

422
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.519
<v Speaker 2>so lightning round Love or Breis Hall.

423
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna take every player over over Jeremiahave.

424
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Okay, so play the game. Damn it, you're not

425
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.599
<v Speaker 2>playing the game. Okay. So the four guys I was.

426
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 4>Guys on bad teams. But I'll still lean Bruce Hall.

427
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:21.359
<v Speaker 4>I like to going back play.

428
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:24.559
<v Speaker 2>More, Okay, and then Kyen Williams, you want him over Love?

429
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:28.039
<v Speaker 1>No one is more disrespected Fantasy football year over year

430
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>than Karen Williams.

431
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I love hearing that. Josh Jacobs.

432
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.799
<v Speaker 1>If you tell me, mister legal action here that he's

433
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:39.319
<v Speaker 1>going to play and not be suspended, like, yeah, absolutely,

434
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Josh Jacobs.

435
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:42.160
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he's the foundation of the offensive Green.

436
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Bay, yeah, for sure. And then we've got Travis HM,

437
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:47.000
<v Speaker 2>so I refuse to.

438
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 4>Call on that.

439
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:49.720
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I will never call him Travis HN

440
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.680
<v Speaker 1>on any show we do together. It's Travis Etna until

441
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the end of time.

442
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:55.640
<v Speaker 2>All right. So you want all those guys over Love,

443
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:59.000
<v Speaker 2>which tells me he's miss priced right now, somebody out

444
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:01.920
<v Speaker 2>there likes him. What's your take on Love this year?

445
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Listen, He's not a bad team, okay, and this is

446
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:08.799
<v Speaker 1>a bad team with a lot of competition, So listen,

447
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:10.400
<v Speaker 1>we don't know what who the quarterback is going to

448
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:11.559
<v Speaker 1>be for the full season.

449
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.640
<v Speaker 4>They want to tank to get a quarterback in the draft.

450
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.240
<v Speaker 1>They know that this coaching staff probably isn't long for

451
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.160
<v Speaker 1>that world there anyways, and it's literally just kind of

452
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>a punt season. So do they want to run this

453
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:26.440
<v Speaker 1>kid into the ground? That they're paying a ton of

454
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.839
<v Speaker 1>dope highest contract of any running back in football's Jeremiah Love.

455
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.240
<v Speaker 1>He makes more money than anybody, and that's which ridiculous.

456
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:37.640
<v Speaker 1>But besides the point, I've just seen this before. We

457
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:40.519
<v Speaker 1>did this with It's not the same position, but Marvin

458
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:43.799
<v Speaker 1>Harrison Junior same team. You can look back to a

459
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:46.960
<v Speaker 1>year ago with Ashton Genty, you know, running back going

460
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:49.240
<v Speaker 1>to a bad team. Like, we love what these guys

461
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:54.160
<v Speaker 1>did in college, but they're drafted high to garbage offenses.

462
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:57.359
<v Speaker 1>And I got a feeling jeremih love for as flashy

463
00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:59.920
<v Speaker 1>as he was at Notre Dame, that will not tran

464
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to this horrific Arizona team. So give me, as I

465
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:07.480
<v Speaker 1>always say, give me good players on good teams with

466
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:08.480
<v Speaker 1>good play callers.

467
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:09.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, does it get.

468
00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Any better than Kyron I love the Green Bays offense,

469
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:14.160
<v Speaker 1>always productive.

470
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:15.039
<v Speaker 4>Listen.

471
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.039
<v Speaker 1>I got a man crush on Kevin Moore and this

472
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.319
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans offense. Okay, Listen, at the end of the day,

473
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I just don't want players on bad teams. And maybe

474
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the player I want the most of anybody here is

475
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Travis etn Okay, because they paid him twenty eight million guaranteed.

476
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 4>Who knows we're gonna get for Elvin Kamara this year.

477
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:36.640
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna play with pace and they're gonna be one

478
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.799
<v Speaker 1>of the teams that runs the most plays. Last year,

479
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:40.759
<v Speaker 1>they were top twelve in total plays for a kind

480
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:44.240
<v Speaker 1>of crappy New Orleans team. The Saints averaged the fifth

481
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.039
<v Speaker 1>fewest rushing yards per game, and I think they went

482
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.240
<v Speaker 1>out and they got ETN because they want to drastically

483
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.160
<v Speaker 1>improve upon that. So any of these guys fall to

484
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:57.000
<v Speaker 1>me as my RB two, because you know I'm gonna

485
00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:59.480
<v Speaker 1>be in the RB business early and often. In these drafts,

486
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I think, think you're really cooking with gas. If you

487
00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:03.640
<v Speaker 1>take a running back in round one, you come back

488
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:06.319
<v Speaker 1>round to maybe three, get any of these guys.

489
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.079
<v Speaker 4>That's a really strong start.

490
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and some of these guys, like you said, you

491
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.680
<v Speaker 2>can get them in round three, so you could even

492
00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:15.480
<v Speaker 2>slide a receiver in round two and still really like

493
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.599
<v Speaker 2>your RB two. So okay, Yeah, I think we're on

494
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:21.160
<v Speaker 2>the same mind. On Love. I did an auction the

495
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:23.960
<v Speaker 2>other night where he went for thirty four bucks. I

496
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.039
<v Speaker 2>got him. I thought that was a little bit I

497
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:28.759
<v Speaker 2>was expecting him to go a little bit higher. It

498
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:30.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't that necessarily got stuck. I just really wanted him

499
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.680
<v Speaker 2>to go in the upper thirties before I let him go.

500
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I ended up getting him for thirty four. Then I

501
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of looked back on that and I thought, you know,

502
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:39.000
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot better guys I could have had for

503
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.880
<v Speaker 2>a few bucks less. So I'm still of the mind

504
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:44.359
<v Speaker 2>that I agree with you on love and Hey, that's

505
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.599
<v Speaker 2>the common sense stuff that we're talking about when we

506
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:51.319
<v Speaker 2>talk about the years of fantasy experience. You mentioned Marvin Harrison,

507
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:53.960
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned Ashton Genty, these guys that go to these

508
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:58.039
<v Speaker 2>awful offenses. It's really hard for a rookie to perform

509
00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:01.240
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL on a good offense, let alone these

510
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:03.440
<v Speaker 2>crap offenses with that offensive lines.

511
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:04.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

512
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, we love the shiny new toy. We love Oh,

513
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.759
<v Speaker 1>this is the new guy. I can't wait to get him.

514
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:13.559
<v Speaker 1>And I've done that in a lot of leagues where

515
00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:15.200
<v Speaker 1>you want to look like the smartest guy in the room.

516
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take this kid that you guys have never

517
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:19.880
<v Speaker 1>really even heard of, and I'm gonna start him every

518
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.200
<v Speaker 1>week and.

519
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:21.359
<v Speaker 4>He's gonna crush you know what.

520
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Just take Kyron Williams, who we know is gonna be

521
00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:27.519
<v Speaker 1>really good and is very boring. No one slaps the

522
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>sticker on the board for Kyen Williams and it's like, yeah,

523
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Kyron Williams in round three. But you know what, Kien

524
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Williams always comes through. This is the year Blake Korum

525
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.799
<v Speaker 1>takes over the jot. No, it's not, it's not. It's

526
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:42.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna be Kien Williams again, just scoring ten touchdowns and

527
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:44.000
<v Speaker 1>running for twelve hundred yards.

528
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Drake doesn't even know it right now, but

529
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:49.920
<v Speaker 2>he's set me up for my Thursday solo show because

530
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.960
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna talk about Kyrien Williams because everyone knows I've

531
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:54.839
<v Speaker 2>got a little bit of a bias with him. But

532
00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:56.759
<v Speaker 2>there's some interesting things we can know about him. But

533
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 2>all right, let's move on because I got a couple

534
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:00.839
<v Speaker 2>more situations I want to hit, and then, of course

535
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.400
<v Speaker 2>my favorite thing that everyone loves. We're gonna hear some

536
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:06.519
<v Speaker 2>over and undervalued players that Drake's thinking about right now

537
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.880
<v Speaker 2>as we head into July. But let's talk about the

538
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Patriots backfield because it's one that we're going to talk

539
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.640
<v Speaker 2>about all summer long. And it's kind of interesting because

540
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Trevion Henderson is up to RB twenty one. You're really

541
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:21.039
<v Speaker 2>going to have to try to get him right around

542
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:22.759
<v Speaker 2>the end of the fifth round if you want him.

543
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:27.039
<v Speaker 2>And Vermandre Stevenson's at RB thirty one. He's the middle

544
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:31.079
<v Speaker 2>of the seventh round. So some of these previous questions

545
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 2>I had for you didn't necessarily have that big of

546
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:36.519
<v Speaker 2>a gap. Now we've got a big gap. So I

547
00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:40.200
<v Speaker 2>want to know which guy do you prefer in a vacuum,

548
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:42.319
<v Speaker 2>and then which guy do you prefer end of fifth

549
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:43.240
<v Speaker 2>or mid seventh.

550
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think the answer has got to be

551
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>at the price got to be Remandre for me. I mean,

552
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:51.799
<v Speaker 1>you look last year and he didn't get a ton

553
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:53.759
<v Speaker 1>of touches on a team that threw the ball, I

554
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:56.039
<v Speaker 1>think more than anybody, which was the Patriots last year,

555
00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:59.400
<v Speaker 1>last three weeks at a season week sixteen, seventeen eighteen. Okay,

556
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:01.480
<v Speaker 1>ween a matter for us in fantasy, but it is

557
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:05.720
<v Speaker 1>what it is. Ramandra finishes RB fifteen, RB five, and

558
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:06.640
<v Speaker 1>RB one.

559
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:07.960
<v Speaker 4>A lot of that had to.

560
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Do with some receiving touchdowns on that, but okay, that's fine.

561
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:13.720
<v Speaker 1>He still found the end zone a ton of times

562
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:14.920
<v Speaker 1>in the fantasy playoffs.

563
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:16.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, this is.

564
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:19.440
<v Speaker 1>A situation where I mean, Trayvon Henderson, we know he's

565
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:21.680
<v Speaker 1>so good, we know he's a home run hitter. They

566
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:23.200
<v Speaker 1>tried to get him the ball a little bit more

567
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.640
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the season, but I mean, I

568
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:28.920
<v Speaker 1>think I'm just gonna take the cheaper option here, and

569
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:31.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm sure I could dive into this the

570
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:34.319
<v Speaker 1>numbers on these two guys, but it really is a

571
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:36.680
<v Speaker 1>coin flip. I just I kind of just pounded my

572
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:38.920
<v Speaker 1>head against the wall, and I, I don't know. They're

573
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:41.240
<v Speaker 1>both good players and they're both going to get the ball.

574
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:43.640
<v Speaker 1>It's not who's better than who. They're just both going

575
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:45.279
<v Speaker 1>to see the rock. They just are.

576
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:47.599
<v Speaker 4>They're not going to bench one guy for the other.

577
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and let's let's be honest, that's not happening. And

578
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Travon Henderson really was not a guy that ever saw

579
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:57.359
<v Speaker 2>a fifty percent snapshare unless Evenson was on the sidelines hurt.

580
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:01.319
<v Speaker 2>So even after he fumbled, everyone said, here comes Henderson.

581
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Stevenson's fumbled twice. They didn't care. They didn't care. They

582
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:07.799
<v Speaker 2>kept going back to Stevenson. They trust him. It's the

583
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.640
<v Speaker 2>same thing as Kyrone Williams. They trust him. There's something

584
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:13.200
<v Speaker 2>that he's doing that they trust. They're going to continue

585
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:14.440
<v Speaker 2>to use him, and they paid him too.

586
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.599
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, Travion Henderson to your point, I'm looking at his

587
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:21.279
<v Speaker 1>snapshares right now. I mean down the stretch, even after

588
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:23.319
<v Speaker 1>their Week fourteen, by when you would think, oh maybe

589
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:25.079
<v Speaker 1>this is when they're gonna get the kid going. You know,

590
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.920
<v Speaker 1>he had a huge week fourteen carries for a buck

591
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:31.039
<v Speaker 1>forty eight and two touchdowns where he was the RB three.

592
00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:33.599
<v Speaker 1>The next week he played nineteen percent of the snaps.

593
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:37.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, the following week he's fifty two percent of

594
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:39.519
<v Speaker 1>the snaps. It's just a case where they're going to

595
00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:41.799
<v Speaker 1>give both guys the ball. So I know Bob Harris

596
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:43.880
<v Speaker 1>always loves this kind of talk, where you go, okay,

597
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I got two options, and whoever follows to me later,

598
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:49.839
<v Speaker 1>that's the guy I'm going to take. So I will

599
00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:52.799
<v Speaker 1>be completely fine with Ramandre and doing some mock drafts.

600
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.400
<v Speaker 1>So far this year, I've gotten Remandre several times to

601
00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:57.000
<v Speaker 1>fall to me.

602
00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:59.759
<v Speaker 4>And if if he's your RB three, you can do

603
00:27:59.759 --> 00:27:59.960
<v Speaker 4>a lot.

604
00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's one of the most unsexy picks on the board,

605
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:07.599
<v Speaker 2>but also that's just how Fantasy championships are won sometimes

606
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:10.359
<v Speaker 2>because you go get your upside guys, but you need

607
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:15.319
<v Speaker 2>boring dudes who are gonna play, and it's gonna be

608
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:17.519
<v Speaker 2>a little bit frustrating and lineup setting leagues. But I

609
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:19.119
<v Speaker 2>think you just keep running them out there and he's

610
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna play, So okay, I think we're of one mind

611
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:25.960
<v Speaker 2>on the Patriots backfield. Let's talk about the Tampa Bay backfield.

612
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:29.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a little bit different than what I expected to

613
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:33.799
<v Speaker 2>see because I thought the Bucky Irving situation the end

614
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 2>of last year seems to have clouded things up quite

615
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:38.279
<v Speaker 2>a bit for fantasy gamers. I mean, we're at the

616
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:40.279
<v Speaker 2>point where we just kind of don't know what the

617
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:43.000
<v Speaker 2>hell to think about Irving, not only because they're still

618
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:48.480
<v Speaker 2>talking about lingering shoulder problems in freaking June, and you know,

619
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.079
<v Speaker 2>and then they've signed Gainwell and Gainwell was very good

620
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.559
<v Speaker 2>for the Steelers last year, but has an RB thirty

621
00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>four price tag. That's pretty significant gap there. I'm assuming

622
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.200
<v Speaker 2>we like Bucky in a vacuum more than Gainwell, but

623
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:06.119
<v Speaker 2>with the price difference, what do you think.

624
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:11.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm Kenny Gainwell all day. Coaches love Kenny Gainwell, and

625
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:16.079
<v Speaker 1>you referenced the bad shoulder. He's still worrying about this shoulder.

626
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it cost him like seven games last year.

627
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:21.599
<v Speaker 1>And if he's still on the fence with it, what's

628
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:24.200
<v Speaker 1>that going to do? The coaches know he's got this

629
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:26.279
<v Speaker 1>bumped shoulder, you think they're going to put him out

630
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>there fourth and one from the one yard line, not

631
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:32.720
<v Speaker 1>a chance. You got Gainwell, who's a very good goal

632
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:34.599
<v Speaker 1>line back, by the way, and you've got Shaan Tucker,

633
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>so they gave Gainwell a bunch of money to come

634
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:39.640
<v Speaker 1>down there, very good blocker. We know we can do

635
00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:43.559
<v Speaker 1>it all really good in the receiving game. So why

636
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:46.440
<v Speaker 1>would I want to put my chip on Bucky Irving

637
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:50.559
<v Speaker 1>who last year he really did become when he returned

638
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:54.519
<v Speaker 1>that between the twenties grinder who had almost no value

639
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:57.799
<v Speaker 1>for fantasy because Tucker was taking the goal line work

640
00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.960
<v Speaker 1>and short yardage.

641
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:01.119
<v Speaker 4>And they still Rashad White back then.

642
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:04.440
<v Speaker 1>So I think you've got Rashad White's replacement and an

643
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:08.359
<v Speaker 1>upgrade in Kenny Gainwell, and Tucker's still there, who they

644
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:10.759
<v Speaker 1>he was a restricted free agent and who they brought back.

645
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:14.799
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I'm glad to let somebody else draft Bucky

646
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Irvy this year.

647
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:16.880
<v Speaker 4>And if he proved me wrong, he prove me wrong.

648
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:18.000
<v Speaker 4>He's a small guy.

649
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:20.200
<v Speaker 1>He's not a big dude who's gonna go in there

650
00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:21.400
<v Speaker 1>and bruise between the tackles.

651
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:24.440
<v Speaker 2>He's just not I think that what we saw at

652
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the end of his rookie year got us very excited

653
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:30.240
<v Speaker 2>and that's just not coming back. And so we just

654
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:34.880
<v Speaker 2>need to just relax that's not coming back and assess

655
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:37.759
<v Speaker 2>it for what it is. And you nailed it by saying,

656
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:39.720
<v Speaker 2>we've got Sean Tucker at the goal line, We've got

657
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:43.559
<v Speaker 2>Kenny Gainwell touching the ball on their down. What does

658
00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:46.759
<v Speaker 2>that leave for Bucky Irving? It leaves a very uninspiring

659
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:49.839
<v Speaker 2>guy who maybe, you know, maybe hits two hundred carries,

660
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:51.880
<v Speaker 2>but he'll be lucky to cross, you know, four or

661
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:56.200
<v Speaker 2>five touchdowns twenty passes catch. So I just think that

662
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.799
<v Speaker 2>RB twenty feels crazy to me. I don't know how

663
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:02.319
<v Speaker 2>that's going to happen, but you know, maybe I'm wrong.

664
00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:04.920
<v Speaker 2>And there are a couple guys every summer that I'm

665
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:06.759
<v Speaker 2>wildly wrong on and who knows.

666
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:08.920
<v Speaker 1>And there's a lot of players that we'll talk about

667
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:11.319
<v Speaker 1>throughout the course of the summer. And it's okay, Well,

668
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.160
<v Speaker 1>he could lose touches to this guy, and it's kind

669
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:17.039
<v Speaker 1>of a two headed monster. If you're already talking about

670
00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:20.039
<v Speaker 1>three guys in a backfield, forget about it, Like why

671
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:22.400
<v Speaker 1>even delve into those muddy waters.

672
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Gainwell costs you almost nothing. He's a bottom

673
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:29.599
<v Speaker 2>end RB three price, and again I'm throw another auction

674
00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:32.160
<v Speaker 2>plug in here, but Gainwell is the kind of guy

675
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:33.599
<v Speaker 2>that you get for a couple bucks at the end

676
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.039
<v Speaker 2>of an auction that just helps you through bye weeks

677
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:39.359
<v Speaker 2>and injuries early in the season and just nobody cares

678
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:42.680
<v Speaker 2>about it. Nobody cares. Again, the unsexy pick sometimes are

679
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:46.279
<v Speaker 2>the ones that we want. So okay, let's go to

680
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:48.279
<v Speaker 2>the final situation here of this or that, and then

681
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to get you some under and over valued players.

682
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.960
<v Speaker 2>The Carolina backfield is I find fascinating this time of

683
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:01.799
<v Speaker 2>year because the steam on Jonathan Brooks is certainly happening.

684
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>He's getting steamed up draft boards now. He is at

685
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:06.880
<v Speaker 2>RB thirty seven. I know that doesn't feel very high,

686
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:09.960
<v Speaker 2>but it is from a month ago, and Cuba Hubbard's

687
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:13.400
<v Speaker 2>at RB twenty seven. Now that tells me that nobody

688
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:17.559
<v Speaker 2>is again very sure about either guy. And I know

689
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:20.599
<v Speaker 2>that they're not ranked very high because we're still talking

690
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:24.920
<v Speaker 2>about a high end RB three and a high end

691
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:27.640
<v Speaker 2>RB four. So I get that we don't have to

692
00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:30.400
<v Speaker 2>pay a lot for these guys. But are we believing

693
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 2>the Jonathan Brooks hype and are we disrespecting Cuba Hubbard.

694
00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:36.759
<v Speaker 2>I guess I don't really know what to think yet.

695
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:38.319
<v Speaker 2>I need to dive into this a little bit more.

696
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:39.319
<v Speaker 2>What do you have for us?

697
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:42.000
<v Speaker 1>This is a team that wants to play hide the quarterback.

698
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.359
<v Speaker 1>We know that Bryce Young stinks. They don't want him

699
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to drop back and throw the ball a ton, so

700
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:49.279
<v Speaker 1>they want to run the rock. Problem being with a

701
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:52.200
<v Speaker 1>guy like Chuba Hubbard, he kind of sucks. So we

702
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:54.640
<v Speaker 1>saw last year. You know, early in the season he

703
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:56.559
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of really good weeks to start off.

704
00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he got banged up and he just never really

705
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.960
<v Speaker 1>recovered and he tried to rush himself back. So Uncle

706
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Rico got a bunch of touches there. But at the

707
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:07.079
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, Chewba Hubbard was really really bad

708
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:07.720
<v Speaker 1>last year.

709
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:09.000
<v Speaker 4>He's not a goal line back.

710
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:12.160
<v Speaker 1>In fact, he handled just ten percent of the Panthers

711
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:14.079
<v Speaker 1>carries inside the five last year.

712
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:15.079
<v Speaker 4>Brooks.

713
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:17.799
<v Speaker 1>When healthy, he's gonna take this job. It's just a

714
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:20.720
<v Speaker 1>matter of time. If he can stay healthy. He's more talented,

715
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:24.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, he is a good back out of the backfield.

716
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:27.519
<v Speaker 1>They listen, they drafted this guy for a reason. I

717
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.880
<v Speaker 1>don't think that they're over the moon about getting touches

718
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:33.880
<v Speaker 1>to Chewba Hubbard, who is extremely inefficient. Last year, I

719
00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:36.480
<v Speaker 1>mean you look down the stretch, you know after their

720
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:38.880
<v Speaker 1>week fourteen by when he came back from gonna be

721
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.839
<v Speaker 1>a little banged up. Eight carries, six carries, four carries.

722
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:45.480
<v Speaker 1>They weren't looking to put the ball in his stomach

723
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:47.319
<v Speaker 1>and let him run wild with it. And I think

724
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:50.240
<v Speaker 1>they'll find just anybody who can take the load off

725
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:52.000
<v Speaker 1>of Bryce Young, and I think that guy's gonna be

726
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Brooks. So maybe guys in your home leagues aren't

727
00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:57.559
<v Speaker 1>as into Brooks or they're like, oh, this guy, you know,

728
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:00.440
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna die again and another injury is gonna fall him.

729
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:01.319
<v Speaker 4>And maybe it will.

730
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:04.200
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, I think Cuba just gave us the

731
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:06.559
<v Speaker 1>blueprint last year of like kind of who he really is.

732
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:08.159
<v Speaker 4>He had that great year two years.

733
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:10.599
<v Speaker 1>Ago and then he got paid. But I mean, Chuba

734
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Hubbard is a very replacement level running back who's out there.

735
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:17.320
<v Speaker 1>He's he's I think he's like a lower lower end

736
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:19.199
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Gainwell, like Kenny Gainwell.

737
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:20.960
<v Speaker 4>To me, he's a much better running back than Chewbahubbard.

738
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think that I'm going to eat my

739
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:25.800
<v Speaker 2>own words here by saying some of the un sexy

740
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:28.360
<v Speaker 2>picks are what we need. I'm not sure Chewba Hubbard

741
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:30.480
<v Speaker 2>is one of those this year. I've always been a

742
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Cuba guy, but I'm just not sure that he's what

743
00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:37.880
<v Speaker 2>we want because if Brooks works out, that's what they want.

744
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:40.960
<v Speaker 2>That's clearly what Carolina wants. And let me just say too,

745
00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:44.400
<v Speaker 2>I've been reading some stuff on Twitter about his injuries,

746
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.960
<v Speaker 2>and number one, I love that he you know, he

747
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:50.800
<v Speaker 2>had a whole year off. And then also, the guy's

748
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:54.559
<v Speaker 2>fairly young. Still, he's pretty young, so I don't think

749
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:56.639
<v Speaker 2>that we need to worry about the fact that now

750
00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:58.199
<v Speaker 2>he's a twenty eight year old coming off with two

751
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:02.119
<v Speaker 2>knee injuries. He's he's a young they want to use him.

752
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:04.199
<v Speaker 2>I think it's one of those things where, like you said,

753
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:06.920
<v Speaker 2>in your home leagues, they may not be clued in.

754
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:09.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm just a little concerned what kind of steam is

755
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:12.960
<v Speaker 2>going to happen in August once drafts start rolling. We're

756
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:16.719
<v Speaker 2>gonna see these ADPs converge and then eventually cross and

757
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:17.960
<v Speaker 2>certainly an expert league.

758
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll he'll go when we get out

759
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:25.320
<v Speaker 1>to Canton a month from now or so, uh, that

760
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:27.400
<v Speaker 1>will be the case. Jonathan Brooks will go off the

761
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:30.480
<v Speaker 1>board before Cheber Hubbard. Chewba Hubbard is It's two in

762
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the morning, you're at the bar. The lights come on

763
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:34.400
<v Speaker 1>and you realize, you know the person you've been talking to.

764
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:36.800
<v Speaker 1>You're like, oh Jesus, what have I been doing? How

765
00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:38.000
<v Speaker 1>many Miller lights.

766
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:38.440
<v Speaker 4>Have I had?

767
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Like, all right, I'm gonna call me the uber, Like

768
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:42.599
<v Speaker 1>you had nothing to do with Chewa Hubbard at the.

769
00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:47.920
<v Speaker 2>That's that's the analysis that you come to the auction

770
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:50.480
<v Speaker 2>brief for the uh.

771
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:52.400
<v Speaker 4>You're flirting with Chuba Hubbard like, well you.

772
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Knows that too many Pineapple high noons and Chewba Hubbards

773
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:55.920
<v Speaker 2>standing there.

774
00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:56.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

775
00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Wow, he's got a big contract and he was good

776
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.239
<v Speaker 1>at one point, Like you could be good again. It's

777
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:04.760
<v Speaker 1>think you're talking to this your ex wife or somebody

778
00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:07.000
<v Speaker 1>at the bar and you're like, you know what, it

779
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.119
<v Speaker 1>was good once back in you know, two thousand and four,

780
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it could be good again.

781
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:12.400
<v Speaker 4>No, it's not at all.

782
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.920
<v Speaker 2>He's got a big contract, you know what I'm saying.

783
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:19.480
<v Speaker 2>So all right, yeah, okay, well I think that again

784
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:21.559
<v Speaker 2>we're of one mind there, maybe we disagreed a little

785
00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:23.880
<v Speaker 2>bit about the Steelers, but for the most part, we've

786
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:26.559
<v Speaker 2>lined up on what we were thinking here today. But

787
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:29.079
<v Speaker 2>my favorite part of the show is the beginning when

788
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I get to hear you know, your lessons from last year.

789
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:34.559
<v Speaker 2>But the audience's favorite part of the show is what

790
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:36.960
<v Speaker 2>we've come to now, and that is hearing what the

791
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:40.320
<v Speaker 2>analysts start thinking about some of the overvalued and undervalued

792
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:43.760
<v Speaker 2>players right now. When the show drops will be the

793
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:48.559
<v Speaker 2>day before July, so we're heading into that critical stretch

794
00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:51.840
<v Speaker 2>that three weeks where everybody is breaking the law before

795
00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:56.639
<v Speaker 2>we get into training camp. But ADP doesn't shift a

796
00:36:56.639 --> 00:37:00.480
<v Speaker 2>whole lot between now in training camp. So what are

797
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:03.199
<v Speaker 2>a couple guys that you're thinking about. Let's start overvaluable

798
00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:05.519
<v Speaker 2>the negative first will end on a positive note. A

799
00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:08.679
<v Speaker 2>couple guys that you're thinking right now are just overvalued.

800
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:10.320
<v Speaker 2>You're not touching at their current ADP.

801
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I took a lot of guys here who are

802
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:14.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty high up the board, because that's that's what's sexy,

803
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:17.239
<v Speaker 1>that's what people are going to be debating when they're

804
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:19.400
<v Speaker 1>on the clock in the first two runs of the draft. First, guys,

805
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:21.679
<v Speaker 1>this is very simple for me. It's Devon ah Chan.

806
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:25.719
<v Speaker 1>It's a bad team, a horrible cast of characters around him.

807
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:29.639
<v Speaker 1>Last saw last year devon a chance saw it ten

808
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:32.239
<v Speaker 1>point one percent of his runs go for fifteen or

809
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:32.880
<v Speaker 1>more yards.

810
00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:34.559
<v Speaker 4>That was second best in the NFL.

811
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Extrapolate that out, forty six percent of all his rushing

812
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:41.679
<v Speaker 1>yards came on explosive plays, again going over fifteen yards.

813
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:43.599
<v Speaker 4>So if you can look at a lot of advanced

814
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:44.320
<v Speaker 4>metrics and you.

815
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Could say, wow, eight Chan and Jimye or Gibbs are

816
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:49.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty much the same guy. You know, their numbers really

817
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:52.559
<v Speaker 1>add up. Here's the problem. A guy like Gibbs is

818
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:55.480
<v Speaker 1>on a great team. You know, good play caller, you

819
00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:57.880
<v Speaker 1>know if it does. Dan Campbell's calling the plays at least,

820
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and I like the quarterback there, and the offensive line

821
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:04.039
<v Speaker 1>has been good in the past. We'll see now with

822
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.239
<v Speaker 1>a little shifting around, none of that is true in Miami.

823
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.239
<v Speaker 1>We've got a bad quarterback who is going to tuck

824
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and run and not dump off these little checkdowns, which

825
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:16.320
<v Speaker 1>is where Hn gets all of his value, and the

826
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:17.039
<v Speaker 1>line sucks.

827
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:17.960
<v Speaker 4>So this is a team.

828
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:21.960
<v Speaker 1>This is easily the least talented roster in the NFL.

829
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:24.320
<v Speaker 1>The Miami Dolphins, No question about it. They are playing

830
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to get a quarterback and get the number one overall pick.

831
00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Why in the world am I going to spend a

832
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:33.960
<v Speaker 1>first end of the first early second round pick for

833
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the best player on the worst team in the league.

834
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:37.039
<v Speaker 4>I'm simply not doing it.

835
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:40.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm totally with you. Chan is just a button I

836
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.000
<v Speaker 2>cannot click. For all of those reasons you broke it down.

837
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:45.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna jumble things up any more than that.

838
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:48.639
<v Speaker 2>I just can't do it. I can't. It's and we

839
00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:52.039
<v Speaker 2>have seen study after study that shows it is extremely

840
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:54.719
<v Speaker 2>difficult to be an RB one in fantasy football. When

841
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:57.440
<v Speaker 2>you play for a bottom three or bottom five offense.

842
00:38:57.719 --> 00:38:59.559
<v Speaker 2>There just isn't enough scoring opportunities.

843
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.320
<v Speaker 1>How many players are how many times they're going to

844
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:05.159
<v Speaker 1>be in the red zone. Yeah, I got the biggest thing.

845
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:05.480
<v Speaker 4>With all of this.

846
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:10.639
<v Speaker 1>If Malik Willis just runs, you know, there's five plays

847
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:13.360
<v Speaker 1>in a game that maybe Tua would have checked down

848
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:13.840
<v Speaker 1>to a.

849
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:15.800
<v Speaker 4>Chanson't doing that.

850
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:18.440
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna just jet that's what he does, and then

851
00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:20.119
<v Speaker 1>those are fantasy points you're not getting.

852
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's going to be extremely frustrating if you do

853
00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:26.840
<v Speaker 2>end up with them on your team. Don't watch. That's

854
00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:28.840
<v Speaker 2>been my tactic for a long time. There's certain guys

855
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:32.039
<v Speaker 2>that I will draft and never watch him. Ryan Tannehill,

856
00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:33.719
<v Speaker 2>I think was the one who spawned that rule.

857
00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Just Tim Tebow was great at that thoughts.

858
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:39.840
<v Speaker 4>That made dude.

859
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:42.119
<v Speaker 1>He had games where you would go to halftime with

860
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:44.920
<v Speaker 1>like negative points and then at the end of the game,

861
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:45.679
<v Speaker 1>like he would come out.

862
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:48.360
<v Speaker 2>You have seventeen because he'd run the ball.

863
00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:50.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he'd run a ton. Oh my god, thank god.

864
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:51.639
<v Speaker 4>T Bow is the king of that.

865
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's great. Okay, so your first one devon a Chan,

866
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:58.159
<v Speaker 2>give me another one. That's uh, that's overvalued right now.

867
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:00.719
<v Speaker 4>Ken Walker super MVP.

868
00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:03.159
<v Speaker 1>So this is the guy who last year in Seattle

869
00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:06.519
<v Speaker 1>was really relegated to the between the twenties grinder role

870
00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:09.320
<v Speaker 1>that I've talked about a few times today. Seattle did

871
00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:12.360
<v Speaker 1>not want him on the field in passing downs or

872
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:15.199
<v Speaker 1>in goal line all right. Ken Walker last year only

873
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:18.800
<v Speaker 1>had twenty seven point six percent of Seattle's carries inside

874
00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:19.199
<v Speaker 1>the five.

875
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.360
<v Speaker 4>That was forty eighth among all running backs.

876
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.239
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't until Charbonnay got hurt that he was forced

877
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:27.599
<v Speaker 1>into this full time role. And let's be honest, guy,

878
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:29.760
<v Speaker 1>did a great job, shined in the playoffs and the

879
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl. I think he's a good player. I've drafted

880
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:34.960
<v Speaker 1>him a ton over the years, Drew, but guess what,

881
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:37.639
<v Speaker 1>every single time, he's screwed me over.

882
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:39.480
<v Speaker 4>So I don't know.

883
00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:41.639
<v Speaker 1>If the lack of competition in Kansas City gives him

884
00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:44.719
<v Speaker 1>longer lease he's gonna get more touches. But I can

885
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:49.440
<v Speaker 1>totally see bouncer ken Walker pissing off Andy Reid and

886
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:51.360
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, they got a third down

887
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:54.719
<v Speaker 1>back in there who Mahomes likes a little more, and

888
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:58.239
<v Speaker 1>you know they're situationally using him here and there, and

889
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:01.559
<v Speaker 1>then ken Walker just becomes what we just mentioned between

890
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:03.639
<v Speaker 1>the twenties kind of grinder guy. He could get some

891
00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:07.159
<v Speaker 1>goal line work, there's no doubt about it, but he

892
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:09.000
<v Speaker 1>hasn't in his career, and he hasn't been shown to

893
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:11.000
<v Speaker 1>be very good when he had the role. So I

894
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:13.400
<v Speaker 1>think ken Walker is extremely overvalued.

895
00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that the Chiefs necessarily, I don't. I

896
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:19.320
<v Speaker 2>don't understand the steam I guess is what I'm trying

897
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:22.280
<v Speaker 2>to say here, because just because he goes to the Chiefs,

898
00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:26.119
<v Speaker 2>that's not the same offense that we saw six years ago,

899
00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:28.199
<v Speaker 2>so it isn't just all of a sudden plug and

900
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:31.800
<v Speaker 2>play top five guy. I'm a little bit surprised that

901
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:34.679
<v Speaker 2>he's gone up as much as he has. The name

902
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:36.800
<v Speaker 2>that we're hearing behind him is a Murray de Mercato,

903
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:38.000
<v Speaker 2>which is pretty interesting.

904
00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:38.639
<v Speaker 4>Really.

905
00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:43.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we may not see Walker as much as

906
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:45.480
<v Speaker 2>we want in third downs. I don't know if Emmitt

907
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Johnson's going to steal goal line looks from him or not.

908
00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:50.239
<v Speaker 2>But one thing about Andy Reid is he throws the

909
00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:53.679
<v Speaker 2>ball a ton inside the ten yard line. He loves

910
00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:55.119
<v Speaker 2>to throw the ball. And now I don't know if

911
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:57.960
<v Speaker 2>that's a if there's a chicken or egg situation here

912
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.000
<v Speaker 2>where he was throwing because he didn't have a guy

913
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:02.599
<v Speaker 2>you could count on, and maybe that's gonna change. And

914
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:04.519
<v Speaker 2>who knows, we'll be sitting here next year talking about

915
00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:06.679
<v Speaker 2>how we screwed this up and he had fourteen touchdowns.

916
00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:09.599
<v Speaker 2>But they don't like to throw inside the ten So

917
00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:12.119
<v Speaker 2>if that changes, it changes, and that's you know, that's

918
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:15.840
<v Speaker 2>a mistake I'm willing to live with. But Okay, that's

919
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:18.880
<v Speaker 2>a good couple of overvalue guys. Those are hot names

920
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:20.119
<v Speaker 2>in the top couple of rounds there?

921
00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:22.800
<v Speaker 4>So do we bring the clickbait here?

922
00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what we're doing. We're clickbaiting. So okay, how

923
00:42:26.639 --> 00:42:29.199
<v Speaker 2>about some undervalue guys? And that's where I'm gonna leave

924
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:32.199
<v Speaker 2>you for today. Give me somebody that you think is

925
00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:33.559
<v Speaker 2>just going too low right now.

926
00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:36.719
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't be doing my job as an Eagles homer

927
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:38.679
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't crow bar a Philadelphia Eagle in here.

928
00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:42.599
<v Speaker 1>So how about Saquon Barkley a year ago? Barkley was

929
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:45.039
<v Speaker 1>a top five pick in draft. That's where you had

930
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:46.800
<v Speaker 1>to get him right now. He's a middle of the

931
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:49.760
<v Speaker 1>second round type player. So Philly's issues, and trust me,

932
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I watched every snap, folks. Their issues last year started

933
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:55.760
<v Speaker 1>with a horrific play caller in Kevin Bittulo, and their

934
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:59.760
<v Speaker 1>offensive line was decimated by injuries. Those injuries actually started.

935
00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:01.800
<v Speaker 1>You can go back to the playoffs the year before

936
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:04.920
<v Speaker 1>in the super Bowl. Honestly, I actually watched the Super

937
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Bowl last night. I was sitting here in my house,

938
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:09.000
<v Speaker 1>like just eating like a pizza and having a beer,

939
00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:11.199
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, oh, there's nothing on. Let's put on

940
00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:13.679
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl from two years ago. And they talked

941
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:18.559
<v Speaker 1>about Landon Dickerson you know the injuries that he's gone through,

942
00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and you know, between center and guard, they've had a

943
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:24.119
<v Speaker 1>number of injuries. And last year you also missed time

944
00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:27.119
<v Speaker 1>with Lane Johnson out. If those guys are healthy, you

945
00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:30.039
<v Speaker 1>have anyone with half a brain calling the plays. Barkley

946
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.599
<v Speaker 1>is going to exceed expectations. So Sean Mannion's gonna have

947
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:35.400
<v Speaker 1>an offense drew with a lot of twelve personnel. They

948
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:37.360
<v Speaker 1>went out and they got themselves a blocking tight end

949
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.039
<v Speaker 1>as well. They're gonna run more motion. They were terrible

950
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:42.000
<v Speaker 1>at that last year. And Jalen Hurts is gonna be

951
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:44.159
<v Speaker 1>under center more. These are all things that are gonna

952
00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:47.239
<v Speaker 1>bode well for Barkley, who was stuffed a ton when

953
00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:50.679
<v Speaker 1>they were just literally doing shotgun draws to him, you know,

954
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:53.599
<v Speaker 1>off tackle and everyone knew it was coming. So Barkley

955
00:43:53.639 --> 00:43:55.119
<v Speaker 1>is a guy I think people are gonna look at

956
00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:57.679
<v Speaker 1>it and go man, Saquon Barkley is like a really

957
00:43:57.679 --> 00:44:01.239
<v Speaker 1>good player, and what the hell nobody wanted him with

958
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:05.039
<v Speaker 1>the first twenty picks of the draft on a team

959
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:06.440
<v Speaker 1>that's probably going to win their division.

960
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they still got a really good defense, which is

961
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:12.440
<v Speaker 2>always a great compliment to the running game. And I

962
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:14.199
<v Speaker 2>was talking about this believe it or not on my

963
00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:18.039
<v Speaker 2>show last week, and I said, if Barkley had four

964
00:44:18.039 --> 00:44:21.199
<v Speaker 2>more touchdowns last year. Now, I know, I know people are, oh, four,

965
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:24.519
<v Speaker 2>like that's a lot. I get it. But it's Saquon Barkley,

966
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:27.760
<v Speaker 2>and he had his opportunities last year that he didn't cash.

967
00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:30.280
<v Speaker 2>So I think we're having a different conversation this year

968
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:32.599
<v Speaker 2>if he just punches in a couple more touchdowns. Because

969
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:35.119
<v Speaker 2>while he was a little bit quote unquote disappointing for

970
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.199
<v Speaker 2>what he had done the previous year, I do agree

971
00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:41.880
<v Speaker 2>that with a strong defense and just marginally better play calling,

972
00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I think we could see a different Barkley this year.

973
00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:46.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's a good one to start. How about

974
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:49.079
<v Speaker 2>another guy that you considered to be an undervalued player

975
00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:49.519
<v Speaker 2>right now?

976
00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:51.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, and this is a guy who I still

977
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:54.440
<v Speaker 1>don't understand how his jersey is not hanging behind you

978
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:59.199
<v Speaker 1>in the studio. How about ray she Rice Baby middle

979
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:00.760
<v Speaker 1>of round three ADP.

980
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:03.639
<v Speaker 4>All Right, Yes, he's a knucklehead, we get that.

981
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:06.679
<v Speaker 1>But folks, when he's on the field, this guy's a

982
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:11.159
<v Speaker 1>PPR tsunami. Last year, in just eight games, he finished

983
00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:14.280
<v Speaker 1>as a wide receiver one in five of them. His

984
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:16.840
<v Speaker 1>lowest target number in any of those games was seven.

985
00:45:17.239 --> 00:45:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Look at the roster. Who the hell else they're throwing

986
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:21.920
<v Speaker 1>a ball to a You got Grandpa Kelsey, who himself

987
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:23.599
<v Speaker 1>might actually be a massive valued ADP.

988
00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:26.800
<v Speaker 4>But the wide receiver group here is a joke. So

989
00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:28.559
<v Speaker 4>Racie Rice went on.

990
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:31.679
<v Speaker 1>The field is a top five Fantasy wide receiver right now.

991
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:35.039
<v Speaker 1>You can get him as like wide receiver thirteen to fifteen, easy,

992
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:36.239
<v Speaker 1>easy undervalue for me.

993
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Right when he came back, they started throwing in

994
00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:40.760
<v Speaker 2>the ball near the goal line too, like they had

995
00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:47.239
<v Speaker 2>designed all these weird touches that were manufactured Andy Reid

996
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:50.719
<v Speaker 2>megabombs that were like, hey, we're gonna throw the ball

997
00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:53.880
<v Speaker 2>to Rice in this weird way. And so yeah, I

998
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:56.679
<v Speaker 2>think the thing with Rice is, and this is what

999
00:45:56.719 --> 00:45:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I said in the Patreon that I haven't said on

1000
00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:01.239
<v Speaker 2>the show or anywhere else yet. But if you're talking

1001
00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:03.920
<v Speaker 2>about Rashi Rice and you get into the middle of

1002
00:46:03.960 --> 00:46:05.760
<v Speaker 2>or end of August and you're having your draft and

1003
00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:08.679
<v Speaker 2>nothing else has happened, one of the things I've pointed

1004
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:10.239
<v Speaker 2>out is that a lot of times when he gets

1005
00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:12.119
<v Speaker 2>in trouble, it's when he's got too much time on

1006
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:14.800
<v Speaker 2>his hands in the off season. During the season, he's

1007
00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:18.360
<v Speaker 2>generally been staying out of trouble. And all you're asking

1008
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:20.880
<v Speaker 2>in a redraft setting like we're talking about, is to

1009
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.400
<v Speaker 2>make one hundred and twenty day bet. Can he stay

1010
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:25.239
<v Speaker 2>out of trouble for one hundred and twenty days and

1011
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:28.079
<v Speaker 2>we can worry about the rest later next offseason when

1012
00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:30.639
<v Speaker 2>he does something else done, but for one hundred and

1013
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:32.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty days, if you can stay out of trouble, he

1014
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:34.679
<v Speaker 2>is a value right now. That is one hundred percent

1015
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.559
<v Speaker 2>for sure. Okay, well, hey, we've had a little bit

1016
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:40.559
<v Speaker 2>of technical difficulties. I hope that doesn't come through on

1017
00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:42.639
<v Speaker 2>the show. I'm going to do some creative editing and

1018
00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:45.239
<v Speaker 2>I want to thank my guest Brian Drake for powering

1019
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:47.880
<v Speaker 2>through that stuff today because it's taken a little bit

1020
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:53.119
<v Speaker 2>of extra time. So hey, let me just close once more,

1021
00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:55.079
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to stop saying it, I promise, but

1022
00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:57.159
<v Speaker 2>thank you again my friend for bringing me along to
