Speaker 1: have less than three hundred, probably closer to two hundred
Speaker 1: at this point. Entrypes normally range from seventy seven dollars,
Speaker 1: although we up to five thousand dollars. A lot of
Speaker 1: those teams have been discounted, some to one dollar, so
Speaker 1: you can literally pick up a team for basically free
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five and manage that team to greatness
Speaker 1: and win a title for just one dollar. Right now,
Speaker 1: all the FFPC Dynasty leagues that have been going on
Speaker 1: right now fifteen plus years, eighteen hundred plus leagues. Not
Speaker 1: a single one has ever folded. So if you're looking

Speaker 2: I love it. Which I'm back to Kristin Diabeles tour bus.
Speaker 2: That's where we'll be.
Speaker 1: We'll be so so you represent a lot of musical artists.
Speaker 1: How many musical artists are coming to Northeast Wisconsin from
Speaker 1: Isle of Music something that is has been huge over
Speaker 1: the last decade here in Northeast Wisconsin. And you've been
Speaker 1: up here for it before and I know you love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Bunky, when you can hang out with you

Speaker 2: have known, and you know, the dizzles in the street
Speaker 2: walking around, we can see him in his own hometown
Speaker 2: element and it's just it's a great weekend. I remember
Speaker 2: the one time that did the show with you on
Speaker 2: a call in basis from the President's office at What's
Speaker 2: the name of the college Lawrence, Lawrence College, and I
Speaker 2: walked into the office at the chapel. It's either the
Speaker 2: president or the guy that ran that. Anyway, we made
Speaker 2: ourselves at home in Appleton in all ways that we can.
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be fun. Katie will be there, christ
Speaker 2: it will be there. Geneva, which you'll recall previously known
Speaker 2: as Frederick for younger, they'll be there. But quite honestly,
Speaker 2: it's a discovery of a lot of music that we
Speaker 2: haven't heard from a lot of artists. So, yeah, four
Speaker 2: fantastic days of music.
Speaker 1: It's coming up in roughly three months.
Speaker 2: Right now, you're in a live podcast with you and
Speaker 2: I to guess, yeah, amazing.
Speaker 1: And I will let everybody know I Lawrence University Chapel, Lawrence,
Speaker 1: by the way, and I don't want to like say like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is the type of people that graduate from Lawrence.
Speaker 1: One of the more famous or infamous now graduates of
Speaker 1: Lawrence University who cut his teeth acting there was Jeffrey Jones.
Speaker 1: And you say, Balky, who's Jeffrey Jones. That is the
Speaker 1: guy who was principal Rooney in Ferris Bully's And now
Speaker 1: he's been in some other stuff over the years, He's
Speaker 1: been in some pretty famous stuff. He's been on the
Speaker 1: wrong side of the loss, so we'll leave it at that.
Speaker 1: It's a great character actor, Jeffery Jones. There have been
Speaker 1: other people that have graduated from Lawrence, been other people
Speaker 1: who have performed at Lawrence over the years. Pharaoh Lewis Black,
Speaker 1: a famous comedian who was on the Daily Show for
Speaker 1: Comedy Central, has put on a few shows at Lawrence
Speaker 1: University Chapel, which is one of the big hubs for
Speaker 1: the Mile of Music Festival. So this is a big
Speaker 1: deal and I'm excited to have you aboard. We're going
Speaker 1: to have a great weekend that weekend enjoying a lot
Speaker 1: of great music. A lot of the reps are a
Speaker 1: lot of the acts that you rep that weekend. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun as well. And that
Speaker 1: is coming up to the end of July early August.
Speaker 1: We'll give you more details on that going forward with
Speaker 1: the Farrell and Balky Live HSFFL are going on this weekend. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's talk about what's going on in the NFL right now.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Sad Yousef who covers the Cowboys for the Athletics said
Speaker 1: that they are still searching for their lead running back,
Speaker 1: which is kind of expected, maybe kind of not expected,
Speaker 1: given that they've only signed Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders.
Speaker 1: Williams who was cut by the Broncos, Sanders, who was
Speaker 1: cut by the Panthers. The pick for the Cowboys in
Speaker 1: the first round is number twelve, and they could go
Speaker 1: with Ashton Genty there. Some of the pundits out there
Speaker 1: have said that Jerry Jones is not as enamored with
Speaker 1: Ashton Genty as you might think. At this point, running
Speaker 1: back is a super deep position in this year. Pharaoh.
Speaker 1: My contention is this, I don't believe the Cowboys are
Speaker 1: going to go running back in the first round. I
Speaker 1: do believe they're going to go running back in the
Speaker 1: second round. If they go running back in the second round,
Speaker 1: which is probably going to be I don't know what
Speaker 1: somewhere in the forties I would imagine. Is that a
Speaker 1: player that you're willing to say, Screwjavonte Williams, screw Miles Sanders.
Speaker 1: I don't care that it wasn't a first round pick.
Speaker 1: This is a second round pick. I love this guy,
Speaker 1: not only for dynasty, but for redraft as well, whether
Speaker 1: that's Caleb Johnson, whether it's Omari and Hampton, whoever it's
Speaker 1: going to be. If the Cowboys skip running back in
Speaker 1: the first round, are you all in on whoever they
Speaker 1: pick in the second or perhaps third round this year?
Speaker 2: I think if you're going to rate the running backs,
Speaker 2: if you're going to come up with your sheet, it's
Speaker 2: going to be deeper, as you said, Balky, than it
Speaker 2: usually is. If you're going to rate those guys, then
Speaker 2: you have to pick out preferred landing spots, and the
Speaker 2: Cowboys would seem to be that that would be a
Speaker 2: preferred landing spot. So the Dallas Cowboys draft a running
Speaker 2: back anywhere, I don't care what round it is. That
Speaker 2: player is moving up the board. John Terry has a
Speaker 2: real interesting question that we'll get to later, And I
Speaker 2: don't know who the player is, but I'm going to
Speaker 2: tell you what, whoever, whoever the Cowboys take it running back,
Speaker 2: you've got to be interested. And there's not a big
Speaker 2: difference in talent once you get past genty and some
Speaker 2: of the other guys. There's not a big difference in
Speaker 2: talent once you're four to six running backs in so yeah,
Speaker 2: they like a guy if he seems to be their
Speaker 2: kind of guy, which I really don't know. I really
Speaker 2: don't know what they're looking for at the position.
Speaker 1: You know what Jerry Jones kind of guy is at
Speaker 1: this point, because I don't either.
Speaker 2: It just you know, you can imagine that the Raiders
Speaker 2: want to find a guy that sort of looks like
Speaker 2: Joss Jacobs and you could, you know.
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys want somebody that looks like Ezekiel Elliott.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. Yeah, so we'll see. And as
Speaker 2: we get closer, what do we got, Bulky twenty two
Speaker 2: days until we get started.
Speaker 1: With less than that, we're at like nineteen.
Speaker 2: You know, I mean, we're there, you know, we're there.
Speaker 1: I have to so I want to do this in
Speaker 1: the chat. And I should have done this at the
Speaker 1: top of the show. Good Scott, Christian piping in right
Speaker 1: now at the top of the show, Good evening, Pharaoh,
Speaker 1: Bulky and Oinker. Here's Oinker, which we we we always
Speaker 1: miss Winker in Louisville. But we'll get Winker back back
Speaker 1: in Louisville in a few months.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: I can't think of a better way to spend a
Speaker 1: birthday evening listening the Football Talk with a couple of
Speaker 1: great guys and a pig. Happy birthday to Scott Christian Pharrell.
Speaker 1: I don't know it was his birthday today and he's
Speaker 1: celebrating watching our show tonight.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, he and James Takes a great great
Speaker 2: teammates of the kf FSC and we're pleased to have them.
Speaker 2: And you know, there's so much fun with their with
Speaker 2: their anchor and their outfits and their way they approach
Speaker 2: it and they're they're winning more and I enjoy that.
Speaker 2: So congratulations Scott, Happy birthday.
Speaker 1: We also have a question from John Terry Balk. What
Speaker 1: do you guys have planned for the big Wisconsin Draft party?
Speaker 1: Only three more weeks. Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. Here's
Speaker 1: what I have planned. I was supposed to be doing
Speaker 1: stuff for the Better Sports Network. I was supposed to
Speaker 1: be doing stuff for my local radio station. I have
Speaker 1: basically told both entities this is a once in a
Speaker 1: life time opportunity. I am going up with a bunch
Speaker 1: of my friends. We're taking a big school bus up
Speaker 1: early afternoon on Thursday. I will be hanging out at
Speaker 1: the draft at in Green Bay as a fan and Friday.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening yet, but I'll probably be
Speaker 1: up there as a fan as well. On Saturday, I'm
Speaker 1: taking my son up to a draft. I don't think
Speaker 1: that the draft will ever come back to Green Bay
Speaker 1: pharm So I am soaking this in.
Speaker 2: NFL experience for the draft is a wonderful thing. I'm
Speaker 2: glad you're doing it with your son. You said you're
Speaker 2: hijacking the school bus. What are you doing in the
Speaker 2: school bus? Okay, it's finally unusual, but you know, set
Speaker 2: the kids out of them before you hijack. It's one
Speaker 2: less crime you'll be accused of. Yeah, all, it's going
Speaker 2: to be a wonderful weekend. My weekend will be set
Speaker 2: here sitting on the edge of my seat and manning
Speaker 2: the telephones, so you know. And that's but it's one
Speaker 2: of the most exciting times of the year, and it
Speaker 2: gives all of us a play fantasy football. It gives
Speaker 2: us a great deal of direction. A lot of commentary
Speaker 2: denied in the chat room, but some gentlemen made a
Speaker 2: comment that if he goes, if they wait, oh it's Mike.
Speaker 2: Michael Quincel said there'll be a rookie split with Gavonte. Yeah, Mike,
Speaker 2: I think is gonna be split up no matter who
Speaker 2: it is. But that's your your spot on with that analysis.
Speaker 2: If it's not, if it's not a first round pick,
Speaker 2: Terry says it'll be gone by twelve, and I agree
Speaker 2: with that. My first thought was, if you want the
Speaker 2: Boisey State running back, you're gonna you're the Cowboys. You're
Speaker 2: gonna have to trade up to get it.
Speaker 1: I think the thing that to understand here is whether
Speaker 1: the Cowboys take a running back in the first round,
Speaker 1: whether they take a running back in the second round.
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters. Well, well, I shouldn't say
Speaker 1: that it does matter, but I will say if the
Speaker 1: Cowboys end up going with jen Z at twelve, I
Speaker 1: don't think they would take Hampton that high. I could
Speaker 1: see them trading back in the first round and then
Speaker 1: taking Hampton. But the thing is like, yeah, they have
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams, Yeah, they have Farall. Who is the other
Speaker 1: guy that that Dallas signed besides Javonte Williams. No, No,
Speaker 1: Dwell went to Carolina. There is another. Yeah, he's gone.
Speaker 1: They said it in the chat room right now. Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders from Carol.
Speaker 2: Veteran Miles Sanders. I had to, I had, you know,
Speaker 2: didn't he take a little time out in Carolina too?
Speaker 1: He did, he was there in a couple of years.
Speaker 1: But but my point is this, regardless of Sanders and
Speaker 1: Williams signing there, if the Cowboys take a running back
Speaker 1: on day one or in my opinion, day two, one
Speaker 1: of those guys will not make the team, and then
Speaker 1: that running back will be splitting time with the other
Speaker 1: guy who is who still makes the team, and that
Speaker 1: that split will dwindle as the season goes on. Where
Speaker 1: the rookie, once it hits October, once it hits November,
Speaker 1: once it hits December, they are going to be the man.
Speaker 1: And then Joontay Williams or or Miles Sanders, whoever makes
Speaker 1: it on that team will be less and less fantasy valuable,
Speaker 1: and unless there's an injury, you can just cut them
Speaker 1: off your team.
Speaker 2: I still think Javonte Williams has has a lot to
Speaker 2: offer an NFL team, So I might I might call
Speaker 2: foul with that bulky, but okay, we'll see. You know,
Speaker 2: once Moster became a Raider, I checked out on most
Speaker 2: of the running back moves anyway, because I was, I
Speaker 2: was complete with that, and it's you know, the movement.
Speaker 2: The movement has died down. It's not making big waves
Speaker 2: that players aren't getting paid at running back, But my goodness,
Speaker 2: what about the tight end position, Bulky.
Speaker 1: The tight end position is going to be very interesting here.
Speaker 1: I want to as we're getting caught. There's so many
Speaker 1: people about the draft here. Corey Walters is going to
Speaker 1: be hanging out at outside lambeau Field. He's going to
Speaker 1: be Thursday and Friday. He can't wait for the draft
Speaker 1: as well. And Michael gonzal I thought Miles Sanders was
Speaker 1: in the sea.
Speaker 2: No, he is not.
Speaker 1: Not right now, He's not at least as well. Let's
Speaker 1: move on Pharrell before we get to Kyle Pollock. Here tonight,
Speaker 1: Trey McBride is now a rich man after signing the
Speaker 1: most lucrative tight end contract in NFL history four years,
Speaker 1: seventy six million dollars. It's the extension in Arizona that's
Speaker 1: going to keep him there for several years, nineteen million
Speaker 1: dollars a year. He is the highest paid tight end
Speaker 1: in NFL history, forty three million dollars in guaranteed money.
Speaker 1: He has three years of NFL experience behind him, and
Speaker 1: this past year career high in targets, career high end receptions,
Speaker 1: career high in yardage, only six receiving touchdowns in three
Speaker 1: years in the NFL, which is a little weird, but
Speaker 1: touchdowns not the stickiest category here. Cardinals general manager Monty
Speaker 1: Austin Ford said that this was a priority to get
Speaker 1: McBride inked up long term here and now it has
Speaker 1: happened in Arizona. For people who own him in Dynasty,
Speaker 1: I think you've got to be loving this. For people
Speaker 1: who own Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson especially, maybe you're not
Speaker 1: feeling as good as you were this morning, but this
Speaker 1: is not a negative on those guys. This is much
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, Pharaoh, this is a big
Speaker 1: time positive for McBride. Whether Kyler Murray is his quarterback
Speaker 1: for the next four years or anybody else. This guy
Speaker 1: is a real one. That's stil Gremager from Fantasy Points. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I love McBride here and this is a
Speaker 1: great deal for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the statistically the receiving game is not going
Speaker 2: to look like what let's talk about our beloved Raiders again.
Speaker 2: It's not going to look like a Boers, big, big numbers,
Speaker 2: and everyone else is playing catch up, especially with their
Speaker 2: new quarterback. This will help the quarterback, This will help Harrison.
Speaker 2: Especially when you have this kind of nucleus and cluster
Speaker 2: of talent, you begin to think that if Arizona can
Speaker 2: straighten out, get this locked up and continue growing the
Speaker 2: quality of talent in their team, did they have a
Speaker 2: good chance for everyone to play better. So this was,
Speaker 2: you know, of course it was a priority, and Monty's
Speaker 2: just not talking general manager talk. Monty's out there making
Speaker 2: it happen.
Speaker 1: So good for him, Good for him indeed, and good
Speaker 1: for us as well, because we're going to bring on
Speaker 1: right now our guests for the evening, a guy who
Speaker 1: has won multiple FFPC League titles at different entry not
Speaker 1: only entry piees, but different formats, Dynasty, redraft, what have you.
Speaker 1: He joins us tonight to talk about the Titans running backs,
Speaker 1: the likelihood of Josh Jacob's duplicating in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: what he did this past season in Green Bay, and
Speaker 1: his favorite rookies in this year's class. Please welcome the
Speaker 1: multi time FFPC Dynasty League champion Kyle Pollack, who joins
Speaker 1: us tonight on the show Welcome Board. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for hanging out with us tonight. How you doing
Speaker 1: on this Friday evening.
Speaker 4: I'm doing great.
Speaker 5: Uh just got back from our fun vacation, so drove
Speaker 5: back all day today, beat the storms home back here.
Speaker 2: You got a little sun from the beach.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't tan, I get red.
Speaker 2: So so, what kind of jersey's at your sporty?
Speaker 4: Oh, Joe Burrow? Of course?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Are you a golfer as well? You got a golfer.
Speaker 2: You're a man of many hobbies. Is fantasy football your favorite?
Speaker 4: It's up there?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely more so now. I used to play
Speaker 5: a lot of golf, but now I'm working, have some kids.
Speaker 5: It's gotten more than fantasy football the last couple of years,
Speaker 5: for sure.
Speaker 2: So is going to ask you the magic question? What
Speaker 2: do you do when you're not? But I'm going to
Speaker 2: ask him that. But but Farrell, here's the thing. I
Speaker 2: have so many other questions I want to ask Kyle
Speaker 2: before that. But we will get to that.
Speaker 1: I promise you. Where was vacation for you recently?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were down in South Carolina at Surfside.
Speaker 2: Beach where everybody needs to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 1: My aunt and her husband live in Greenville, South Carolina,
Speaker 1: which granted is not on the coast, but we have
Speaker 1: gone down there. We were just there a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, and I loved hanging out in South Carolina.
Speaker 1: Like it is a it's a great place. It's an
Speaker 1: underrated place to go. So kudos to you on a
Speaker 1: hopefully a RESTful and a fun vacation there as well.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Bengals here to kick
Speaker 1: things off before we talk about you personally. I know
Speaker 1: you're a Bengals guy. I know you're a Cincinnati fan.
Speaker 1: Houde hashtag who day is the salary caprial Kyle, because
Speaker 1: the Bengals have essentially soaked in a ton of money too.
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow a ton of money into DeMar Chase, a
Speaker 1: ton of money into t Higgins, and there's a non
Speaker 1: zero chance that they soak in a ton of money
Speaker 1: into Trey Hendrickson. Yet as well, how are you handling
Speaker 1: this whole thing as a Bengals fan? No, knowing that
Speaker 1: if Hendrickson is not ink long term, this could be
Speaker 1: huge for the Bengals offense. Burrow, Higgins, Chase, Chase Brown,
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. If if they're in a
Speaker 1: lot of these shootouts going forward. I'm just kind of
Speaker 1: curious to get a Bengals fanboy perspective on this, knowing
Speaker 1: that you still play fantasy football and you're taking this
Speaker 1: all into consideration when you're drafting your teams and managing
Speaker 1: your dynasty teams as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question. I think from a fantasy
Speaker 5: football perspective, it's all go forward with Joe Burrow and
Speaker 5: all the offense. It gould be great, you know, from
Speaker 5: a football standpoint, you know, I think it's going to
Speaker 5: be really important to draft some good guys here. Al Golden,
Speaker 5: the fesst coordinator higher I think will be a big
Speaker 5: you know, bringing him back into the fold.
Speaker 4: So we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean it's from a fantasy football perspective,
Speaker 5: gotta love what they're doing there.
Speaker 4: It'll be a lot of fun to watch those guys
Speaker 4: put up a lot of points.
Speaker 2: I got a Cincinnati Bengal question for you. Do you
Speaker 2: think they're missing or receiver, the number three guys, somebody
Speaker 2: just to complete the.
Speaker 4: Group, you know, I think Mike Osaki's really become that
Speaker 4: third receiver.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's a tight end, but I think you're
Speaker 5: gonna see him with that contract excession they got, I
Speaker 5: think he'll really take Todder Bullyd's role in the slot
Speaker 5: player a lot.
Speaker 4: There is a big it's all slot tight end guy.
Speaker 4: So we'll see. I think he's gonna kind of fill that.
Speaker 4: I don't know, we'll see maybe, uh, you know, Andre
Speaker 4: Yoshavis might abible to do something there, but yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, and if to that, well can get eleven
Speaker 2: million dollars. Andre has got to be happy, you know.
Speaker 2: And Andre has got to be you know, saying hey,
Speaker 2: look at me.
Speaker 1: Hold on, Farrell, Kyle, let me ask you this in
Speaker 1: regards to Yoshivas and Jermaine Burton. I know, FFPC dynasty
Speaker 1: cutdowns just happened. Are these guys well, I shouldn't say,
Speaker 1: are these guys those those players are probably out there
Speaker 1: in your dynasty leagues right now. Are any of them
Speaker 1: targets for you at this point? Or is the Bengals
Speaker 1: offense just basically like, hey, you want a piece of Chase,
Speaker 1: You want a piece of Higgins Brown Kiseki going forward?
Speaker 1: And Burton and Yoshabas are kind of afterthoughts. How are
Speaker 1: you treating it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with that.
Speaker 5: I think they are more afterthoughts at this point. If
Speaker 5: I'll be honest, I think if I was a pick one,
Speaker 5: I pick. But I think Burton, you know, he's still
Speaker 5: got to figure some things out for.
Speaker 1: He's done right, like you can't roster him and going on, like,
Speaker 1: I'm fine with cutting him in my dynasty leagues at
Speaker 1: this right I had.
Speaker 5: Him on a couple draft them in a rookie ar.
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, kept them all here. I'm like, no,
Speaker 5: some of that.
Speaker 4: So yeah, but I.
Speaker 5: Think it's going to go through those three and then
Speaker 5: obviously Chase Brown and You will have games of flash.
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, So so let me ask you this
Speaker 1: before Pharaoh asks you about Devon ait Chan. When you're
Speaker 1: not winning ff PC dynasty leagues FFPC re draft leagues.
Speaker 1: When you're and I know you're in a bunch of
Speaker 1: them right now, what are you doing for a living? Uh?
Speaker 1: As far as what you can share with us tonight
Speaker 1: on the show.
Speaker 4: Sure, Yeah, I work as an eternal auditor at a
Speaker 4: insurance company.
Speaker 5: Since I insurance company is here Cincinnati, so yeah.
Speaker 1: So you're right in Cincinnati. So this obviously like you
Speaker 1: were I don't want to say cursed, but you couldn't
Speaker 1: help yourself being a Bengals fan at this point.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, my dad was a season ticket holder for
Speaker 5: twenty five plus years, so I was born into it.
Speaker 1: You back in the boomer sisin Carl Pickens days, Like
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think Farrell. Who else am I forgetting
Speaker 1: about twenty five years ago? Since Virgil Carter, Virgil Carter,
Speaker 1: Ikey Woods.
Speaker 2: Johnson, Yeah it seeks Johnson. What a great name. Yeah,
Speaker 2: of course that's that's fifty years ago. You said twenty
Speaker 2: five years.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just I I we we did a from
Speaker 1: my local radio show. We did a promotion here at
Speaker 1: a bar where Ikey Woods showed up, like where the
Speaker 1: bar showed and and he uh, he gave us a liner.
Speaker 1: And we talked with Ikey Woods that day and talked
Speaker 1: about football. But I'm gonna tell you this about Ikey
Speaker 1: Woods and and Kyle Maybe you know this, maybe you don't.
Speaker 1: That guy We watched football with him that son. When
Speaker 1: he showed up, he did know the game and he
Speaker 1: was dialed in. We had red zone on and he
Speaker 1: was telling us everything like that was going on. I
Speaker 1: just kind of stayed out of his way and I
Speaker 1: just listened because that guy knows ball. Icky Wood's a
Speaker 1: legend in Cincinnati quite frankly, a legend in NFL football.
Speaker 1: He is. He's one of my favorites for sure.
Speaker 2: A guy named Collins who used to play for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who's on Sunday Night Football right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeahs legendary wide receiver who let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: Kyle the Mount Rushmore of Cincinnati Bengals, off the top
Speaker 1: of your head in twenty twenty five? Who goes on that?
Speaker 1: Who goes on Mount Rushmore?
Speaker 4: That's a good question. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think for me, I kind of maybe shade sorts
Speaker 5: of newer guys because I grew up watching him.
Speaker 4: I definitely for me, Chad Johnson, chadou In just thin
Speaker 4: because we won, for sure. Gotta love him.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: It's interesting after that, I think gonna be Joe Burrow
Speaker 5: for sure eventually. I mean he's not there yet, but
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put him up there. And I think what
Speaker 5: you're seeing from jamar Cha even Green ones for me.
Speaker 2: You gotta appreciate it. Why you got it? Brother?
Speaker 1: Shout out to Julio Jones, by the way, who put
Speaker 1: in his official retirement papers with the NFL, who was
Speaker 1: not a Cincinnati Bengal, but the the the aj Green
Speaker 1: thing reminded me of him and Julio Jones got Farrell
Speaker 1: and and Kyle. How many times do we have that
Speaker 1: dude on our fantasy teams that that helped us out
Speaker 1: over the years. Happy trails to him. Okay, uh we
Speaker 1: have We have talked about everything else enough Ferrell, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna let you talk about the Miami Dolphins running back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I have important Cincinnati questions. So so you
Speaker 2: live on the Kentucky side though, correct, Ohio, so do you.
Speaker 2: But you're you're considering the move. You're you're moving down
Speaker 2: to the Kentucky there's realtors. I can send your wife, Kyle,
Speaker 2: we can, we can make some things up in time
Speaker 2: for you to come. Well, I'll tell you what. Wherever
Speaker 2: you're sitting, you got to be happy if you're an
Speaker 2: HA fan, because it most of it has moved on.
Speaker 2: What do you think having and if you assume like
Speaker 2: I do, that this is a two hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: carry a year back, what do you think it does
Speaker 2: to the receivers that for the first time last year.
Speaker 2: Be it injury, be it the game situation, be it
Speaker 2: a number of factors, including some unstable or inconsistent play
Speaker 2: by the quarterback Tyreek Hill and Waddell, Is this the
Speaker 2: year that they begin to shave off some of the
Speaker 2: fantasy points that we've so often counted on from them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great question. A person I'm a big
Speaker 4: a Champ fan as well.
Speaker 5: I think he's I love his ability to receiving ability,
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think I definitely think if you are
Speaker 5: a Tyreek Hill or Jalen Wattell fing right now, you're feeling.
Speaker 4: A little nervous for sure. I think there's definitely whether
Speaker 4: it's Patua in his play, you.
Speaker 5: Know, he's kind of for me, he's kind of leveled off,
Speaker 5: seems to be struggling, whether than staying healthier, just being consistent.
Speaker 4: I think even just John new Smith his.
Speaker 5: Role last year and how he really emerged in their
Speaker 5: offense getting all those down the stretch. I just think,
Speaker 5: you know, I think a chance taking a bigger piece
Speaker 5: of the pie for sure, for receiving a lot of
Speaker 5: less targets going around for those guys. So yeah, I think,
Speaker 5: I don't know if they're going to bounce back, you know,
Speaker 5: I think it'll be interesting to see what Tyrie Hill does.
Speaker 4: You know, he's definitely such a He's relying.
Speaker 5: On his speed, you know, as he gets older, and
Speaker 5: I wonder if he's gonna be able to be the
Speaker 5: same guy.
Speaker 2: And it's just for the year when the competition was
Speaker 2: off with the Jets. You know, you get the Jets twice,
Speaker 2: and the Jets weren't what they were supposed to be.
Speaker 2: New England was a far cry from what they had been.
Speaker 2: You would have thought that it would have been a
Speaker 2: different year for those kind of guys. You know, if
Speaker 2: I told you when we were in Las Vegas plant
Speaker 2: in Hollywood, this is what this is what the rest
Speaker 2: of the AFC East is going to do, we would
Speaker 2: have probably aggressively drafted Dolphins. But it was not the case,
Speaker 2: was it.
Speaker 1: I think the other thing to keep in mind here
Speaker 1: in regards to the Dolphins here and Kylie kind of
Speaker 1: alluded to it, how confident are you and a bounce
Speaker 1: back with Hill and Waddle regardless of you know, and
Speaker 1: obviously if there's no bounce back with Hill and Waddle,
Speaker 1: it should be a big John new Smith that should
Speaker 1: be a big debon h Chen year. If I had
Speaker 1: to pin you down to a percentage chance of the
Speaker 1: bounce back for the wide receivers here with Tongue Bay Loa,
Speaker 1: is it seventy percent? Is it sixty percent? Is it
Speaker 1: lower than that? What would you say?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd say right, I give it about forty five percent.
Speaker 5: I'm more pestimistic about it, like I said. I just
Speaker 5: like I said, I've never been a big too a
Speaker 5: guy personally just kind of looked at him just even
Speaker 5: from calling I thought coming out in that class, and
Speaker 5: it just seems like he's had a hard time staying
Speaker 5: healthy and it seems like he's not really don't take
Speaker 5: the next step.
Speaker 4: So I think, you know, and I think with an
Speaker 4: eight Chan.
Speaker 5: And Smith emerging, I think that's going to just limit
Speaker 5: the you know, villain Watt will be able to bounce
Speaker 5: back to that lead, higher end director.
Speaker 4: Where they were at.
Speaker 1: Let's I want to do this here as long as
Speaker 1: we have a Bengals fan on the On the show tonight,
Speaker 1: Michael Kenzell chimes in with a question for you, Kyle,
Speaker 1: what do you think Cincinnati is going to do at
Speaker 1: depth for running back behind Chase Brown. Now, obviously free
Speaker 1: agency is kind of the first wave, the second wave
Speaker 1: it's behind us. But as far as the draft goes,
Speaker 1: you kind of alluded to this earlier. This is a
Speaker 1: super deep, talent rich format here for running backs this year,
Speaker 1: where you can get guys in the second round, the
Speaker 1: third round, the fourth round, the fifth round. Quite frankly,
Speaker 1: as as difference makers here in fantasy, what do you
Speaker 1: think Cincinnati's going to do at running back? Knowing how
Speaker 1: much money they have soaked into quarterback and wide receiver
Speaker 1: and potentially defensive end, they might have to rely on
Speaker 1: the draft for running back depth. And then, quite frankly,
Speaker 1: if they do add it, when is it going to happen?
Speaker 1: And how does this affect Chase Brown? And it's a
Speaker 1: lot of questions here, but how do you feel about
Speaker 1: the Bengals running back situation or how do you think
Speaker 1: you're going to feel about the Bengals running back situation
Speaker 1: with Chase Brown after the NFL Draft come early May.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think when they signed peek some
Speaker 5: my JP Ryan back, I think that was really telling
Speaker 5: to me personally. I think they're they're very big on him.
Speaker 5: I think they're going to see him have a role.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think you're gonna see them drafts on one,
Speaker 5: it's going to be a later day draft. It's going
Speaker 5: to be day three draft if out. I guess, I
Speaker 5: don't see them spending a top you know, first second
Speaker 5: or third round pick, So I think it might be
Speaker 5: a fourth round pick guy. And I think it's going
Speaker 5: to be more one of the more power back kind
Speaker 5: of guys to fit with Chase Brown style. Like I
Speaker 5: think perfect target for it was maybe like an Ali
Speaker 5: Gordon day round four or something like that. I think
Speaker 5: that'd be someone I could see them going after. But yeah,
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna look for some kind of power
Speaker 5: back guy to compliment him. Pe Ryan is going to
Speaker 5: be like the third assistant, third down back.
Speaker 1: Which is great for us who own Chase Brown in
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues because if they invest a fourth round pick
Speaker 1: or a fifth round pick and a guy like Ali
Speaker 1: Ollie Gordon for the example that you're giving, that's not
Speaker 1: going to threaten Chase Brown's fantasy value in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: which is great. That's what we want here going.
Speaker 2: Forward is a significant sunburn. You've been on vacation and
Speaker 2: so far You've only been peppered questions which the correct
Speaker 2: answer could only come from you owning a crystal ball.
Speaker 2: So you know, Ali, you must, you must be getting
Speaker 2: the September newspaper today whenever. But so I have a
Speaker 2: question for you. Sure, based on something that's already happened,
Speaker 2: you won't have to guess about it. But I sure
Speaker 2: as heck would like you to tell me what's gonna
Speaker 2: happen with it? Because I own both these players across
Speaker 2: several formats in dynasty. What should I expect Jackson Smith
Speaker 2: and Jigma and the addition of Cooper Cup What does
Speaker 2: it look like for both these players with the new quarterback,
Speaker 2: with the rebuild there with its It's it's really a
Speaker 2: quarterback is coming off a good year and a very
Speaker 2: high end but aging wide receiver matched with a young
Speaker 2: wide receiver that just hasn't seemed to put it all together.
Speaker 2: So that's what I want you to tell me, because
Speaker 2: we know it's gonna happen. What's it going to look like?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting, he said. I think you know. I'm
Speaker 4: a big Jackson Smith guy.
Speaker 5: I made a lot of trades to get him after
Speaker 5: his rookieyear when he had a down year, and I
Speaker 5: think I paid off well last year. It'd be interesting
Speaker 5: to see what his role is. He was so much
Speaker 5: in the slot and with DK and Tyler Lockett, and
Speaker 5: now those guys are gone, and then you bring Cooper
Speaker 5: Cupp and who's another slot guy. So I personally don't
Speaker 5: think it hurts his dynasty value as much the Cooper
Speaker 5: cup signing. Like you said, I think I think he's
Speaker 5: on the end of his career. I think he'll still
Speaker 5: be a compliment, but more curious to see what they
Speaker 5: do in the draft as well. I think I could
Speaker 5: see them they're gonna have to add more at receiver.
Speaker 4: I think so.
Speaker 2: Since you're big on JSN, answer me this, Am I
Speaker 2: wrong to say he hasn't quite and got it together?
Speaker 2: I mean, did you see the things that you really
Speaker 2: wanted to see from him last year? Because I've always
Speaker 2: thought about this player that I never have really evaluated
Speaker 2: him correctly. I'm still in a wait and see mode.
Speaker 2: Should I hang on to him? Is he is? He
Speaker 2: is his game radiating fantasy points in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 4: I think so?
Speaker 5: I mean especially, I just personally think the target chair
Speaker 5: he got last year, he's the offense really was built
Speaker 5: around him. Even with Metcalf there, he was kind of
Speaker 5: taking a bigger trump of the offense, but a lot
Speaker 5: of the game plan was for him. Like I said,
Speaker 5: I mean, I think with Gino going on and now
Speaker 5: Sam Darnold's being there, would be interesting to see if
Speaker 5: there's any impact with that. But I still feel good
Speaker 5: about Jansen personally. I think he's going to continue to
Speaker 5: build off that. Again, know, high state receivers, I think
Speaker 5: you're seeing just almost across the board. I think these
Speaker 5: guys coming under Brian Hartline, I think you're seeing them
Speaker 5: put up pretty big numbers in the NFL, and you know,
Speaker 5: I think their talents there.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing regarding well, okay, I want to
Speaker 1: move past that. Let's talk about Tennessee running backs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is not a popular thing right now, Kyle, but
Speaker 1: I do want to bring this up because with the
Speaker 1: running back class that is coming in here, not a
Speaker 1: lot of people are talking about the Titans running back situation,
Speaker 1: which over the last couple of years, it's been Pollared,
Speaker 1: it's been Spears, and it's been nobody else. The Titans
Speaker 1: are kind of in a transitional mode with the number
Speaker 1: one pick. It's probably gonna be cam Ward. They're probably
Speaker 1: gonna have a new offense. They're probably gonna have a
Speaker 1: new quarterback this year. Will they have a new running
Speaker 1: back attack as well? Because with how target rich this
Speaker 1: draft is in the backfield, they could easily pick somebody
Speaker 1: on Day two or even early Day three that would
Speaker 1: absolutely destroy the fantasy value for Spears, fantasy value for
Speaker 1: Pollard right now. I don't know if you own these
Speaker 1: guys in any of your leagues. My question to you
Speaker 1: is is it even worth trying to trade because it's
Speaker 1: so obvious that the Titans not only will have a
Speaker 1: new quarterback, but perhaps a new running back as well.
Speaker 1: How are your treating Spears and Pollard in your dynasty
Speaker 1: leagues at this point?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I have a couple shares of them, you know, but
Speaker 5: for most parts, you know, personally, with this class coming in,
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to buy a lot of these low
Speaker 5: end running backs just because there's gonna be so much
Speaker 5: transition after the draft. I do think for the Titans, though,
Speaker 5: I actually don't feel as worried about those guys as
Speaker 5: some other players. I think they don't have a lot
Speaker 5: of picks, they don't have a third round pick, so
Speaker 5: they're not really draft ridge capital.
Speaker 4: So I mean they might take a guy day four,
Speaker 4: day five.
Speaker 5: But I also think Taji Spears, you know, I think
Speaker 5: I think they compliment each other well, so I could
Speaker 5: see them not really.
Speaker 4: I think they have also just so many other needs
Speaker 4: of their team.
Speaker 5: They're just not a great football team right now, so
Speaker 5: I can see them spending capital other places.
Speaker 4: But again, you know, we'll see, you know, we never know,
Speaker 4: you never know, never know.
Speaker 5: I don't think anyone thought, you know, Seattle will draft,
Speaker 5: Charbonne said early after drafting war.
Speaker 1: So I remember I was covering the draft live for
Speaker 1: the Better Sports Network on Thursday night when that happened,
Speaker 1: and the my co host that we had on, we like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're talking about at the time,
Speaker 1: but all of us when we saw the pick, we're like, whoa,
Speaker 1: you know, like it blew us away, And that could
Speaker 1: obviously happen this year. Pat Fitzmorris from Fantasy Pros has
Speaker 1: said that Thursday night, and especially Friday, will be a
Speaker 1: retirement party for many of the veteran running backs around
Speaker 1: the NFL. He singled out Ezekiel Elliott. There are others
Speaker 1: like him, and I think that's going to happen. It's
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, one of those things where
Speaker 1: it's just like whether you think you're solid or you know,
Speaker 1: all set to go with your running backs and your
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues. As Lee Corso would say, not so fast,
Speaker 1: my friend. Let's see it happen Friday night, April twenty fifth.
Speaker 1: That is going to be a big deciding point here.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about my Green Bay Packers here
Speaker 1: for a second. Kyle Josh Jacobs had a fantastic season
Speaker 1: in his first year wearing the green and gold for
Speaker 1: the Packers. This past year, the Packers unexpectedly went with
Speaker 1: a really run heavy attack for the majority of the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty fourth season. I want to ask you, going now,
Speaker 1: knowing that Marshawn Lloyd, but forgot man in the Packers
Speaker 1: backfield should be healthy to start the season. There's a
Speaker 1: non zero chance that they invest in a running back
Speaker 1: on Day two or perhaps early day three. Knowing all
Speaker 1: these things, how likely is it that Josh Jacobs, let's
Speaker 1: let's not even say, duplicates what he did in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, but maybe he has eighty percent of what
Speaker 1: he did this past year eighty five percent of what
Speaker 1: he did this past year. How do you feel about
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs coming into twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there gonna be some regression. He had
Speaker 5: a lot of touchdowns. I think there's some things that
Speaker 5: might be hard from the match. But I still feel
Speaker 5: okay about Jason Jacobs personally. I think he's always been
Speaker 5: kind of an underrated guy, you know, as a first round.
Speaker 4: Pick with the Raiders.
Speaker 5: You know, I think he's kind of been the guy
Speaker 5: had good years, had some bad years, but you know,
Speaker 5: just some of some nick you know, linger and injuries.
Speaker 5: But like I said, he's a guy I own on
Speaker 5: a few teams and even bottom on one team this
Speaker 5: offseason for I thought pretty good price. So I still
Speaker 5: think he's gonna I just think with him in that offense,
Speaker 5: I think you just saw how vitle he was the
Speaker 5: Green Bay I think, But like I said, I don't
Speaker 5: think they still have any big, any one receiver right now.
Speaker 5: That's going to be kind of the alpha taking a
Speaker 5: lot of stuff. So I still think he's gonna be
Speaker 5: the focal point for maybe one more year. But yeah,
Speaker 5: I could see Lloyd get more involved, kind of like
Speaker 5: Amanda Wilson, did you know? But I still think he's
Speaker 5: going to be able to do well, maybe not as
Speaker 5: well as last year.
Speaker 4: I think they'll be right.
Speaker 1: My whole thing on Jacobs, and I haven't said this
Speaker 1: on any of my shows recently, but that contract that
Speaker 1: he signed last year, it was going to be easy
Speaker 1: for the Packers to get out of that contract after
Speaker 1: the first year. They obviously are not going to because
Speaker 1: of how good it was, but they can get out
Speaker 1: of it out of the second year. And if they
Speaker 1: invest in a running back in round two or round three,
Speaker 1: this could be like the thunder and Lightning the Bang
Speaker 1: Bang here with Lloyd and Axe running back this year
Speaker 1: and then Josh Jacobs is, you know, looking for a
Speaker 1: new deal in twenty twenty six. These are the things
Speaker 1: we have to think of, Pharrell when we go forward
Speaker 1: with our dynasty. Ricord drafts knowing that Josh Jacobs said, Hey,
Speaker 1: he's really super exciting and shiny right now, but fast
Speaker 1: forward nine months may not be the same.
Speaker 2: Oh bulky, you knowsh Jacobs just can't get any respect,
Speaker 2: just no matter what happens, he just can't get How
Speaker 2: many years has Kyle Pitt's been in the league, your namesake,
Speaker 2: mister Kyle. How long has he been in the league? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Four years?
Speaker 2: You know, Balky and I love the movies.
Speaker 1: Feels like fourteen.
Speaker 2: It feels like it feels like a Balky and I
Speaker 2: love the movies. My favorite movie of all time is Casablanca,
Speaker 2: and in the introductions it says that people come to
Speaker 2: Casablanca and they wait and they wait and they wait.
Speaker 2: And that's exactly where we are with Kyle Pitts. Are
Speaker 2: you tired of waiting? Because one of one of the
Speaker 2: one of the people in the UH in the chat
Speaker 2: room here said a lot of good tight ends in
Speaker 2: the draft this year. We used to think Kyle Pitts
Speaker 2: was a good tight end. Is it? Is it just
Speaker 2: a situation that he's in Atlanta? UH break it down
Speaker 2: for us, because you know, I was offered him in
Speaker 2: a trade the other day, and I didn't think the
Speaker 2: price was real expensive, but I said a big no,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned that Kyle Pitts is definitely
Speaker 5: one of those guys, one of my most own players
Speaker 5: that I don't know what to.
Speaker 2: Do with for sure. Oh, crystal ball doesn't even work
Speaker 2: for this one. Right trade him.
Speaker 5: Now it's you know, when you got him, you know,
Speaker 5: he had so much potential, so high, and now it's like,
Speaker 5: you know, you just got to feel like it has
Speaker 5: got to keep wrong with them.
Speaker 2: But yeah, can you put a trade value on him
Speaker 2: if someone were to call, if someone were to send
Speaker 2: you an offer, it says, I want Pitts. What will
Speaker 2: you take in a draft pick?
Speaker 5: You know, I think the problem is I would want
Speaker 5: more than they should even really willing to offer, because
Speaker 5: it's because of what I paid for him. But yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, I think with them being so young, still
Speaker 5: there's that that glimmer and hope that he could turn
Speaker 5: into something. But you know, I think this is probably
Speaker 5: for me last year even give him myself giving any
Speaker 5: hope on that.
Speaker 4: So we'll see how it goes. But yeah, I also
Speaker 4: could see him going somewhere else becoming you know, becoming better.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's good. You know, our good friend Pierson says,
Speaker 2: maybe he just needs the right environment. You know, Jonas
Speaker 2: Smith certainly did you know he looked like a complete
Speaker 2: different player last year, So yeah, yeah, I'm exactly. It's
Speaker 2: one of the things free agents for there's no portal
Speaker 2: for him to enter, so he's gonna have to go
Speaker 2: through free agency.
Speaker 1: Here's what Here's what it comes down to for me
Speaker 1: and Pitts. If I have him on my team, and
Speaker 1: I think I have him on one or two Dynasty teams,
Speaker 1: I'm not selling him. I can't get point if I
Speaker 1: don't have him. I am not seeking him out, like
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get him on my teams or whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm just it's wait and see. If I have him,
Speaker 1: we'll we'll see what happens. If I don't have them,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go out and get them if he
Speaker 1: all of a sudden blows up with Michael Pennix at
Speaker 1: the start of the season. That's my personal thoughts on
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. Let's get back to your Bengals here, Kyle Pollock,
Speaker 1: I'm not the correct Kyle p on the show tonight,
Speaker 1: not Kyle Pits. Are you more likely at this point
Speaker 1: to trade for t Higgins in your Dynasty leagues or
Speaker 1: are you more likely to trade him away? And I
Speaker 1: know that's kind of a loaded question, but given that
Speaker 1: Chase En Higgins signed these long term deals, you know
Speaker 1: Burrow is locked up, you know the fact that they
Speaker 1: probably won't be able to pay defenders on this team,
Speaker 1: so it should be a lot of big time offensive performances,
Speaker 1: perhaps a lot of shootout games for the Bengals here
Speaker 1: going forward. How do you treat T Higgins in your
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues right now? Trying to look in you in
Speaker 1: the in the Pollock crystal ball for the future.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say I would trade for I think
Speaker 5: because I think there's gonna be people out there who
Speaker 5: feel disappointed he didn't get the free acy, didn't ever
Speaker 5: get to become that number one somewhere else. So I
Speaker 5: do think he's got some upside limited with that, but
Speaker 5: I still think, you know, he is going to be
Speaker 5: a very solid high end wide receiver too, kind of
Speaker 5: like Devonte Smith, you know, kind of the you know,
Speaker 5: playing sidekick to Jamar Chase, And.
Speaker 4: If Chase goes down, I think then all of a
Speaker 4: sudden he has opportunity to put big numbers.
Speaker 5: So I would try to personally, I would try to capitalize,
Speaker 5: I think on those who thought he was gonna get
Speaker 5: out of Cincinnati and truly come to of the wide
Speaker 5: receiver one territory.
Speaker 4: So that's what I would be.
Speaker 2: Doing, is try and trade for So do you have
Speaker 2: a favorite rookie in this class? I don't, and this
Speaker 2: is the first year I haven't, and Balke's got like
Speaker 2: ten favorite rookies. Do you have a favorite rookie you
Speaker 2: know in this class?
Speaker 5: I really like the running backs, so I think the
Speaker 5: one that's really come my favorite personally, just as Camp Skataboo,
Speaker 5: I just plays. I think he's fits the AFC North
Speaker 5: style football. I don't think the Bengals will get him, but.
Speaker 4: I would love to take him as a second running
Speaker 4: back with Chase Brown, but no, they're going to do that.
Speaker 4: But again, I just love the way he plays the game.
Speaker 4: I think he's really fun to watch. So he's definitely
Speaker 4: one of my favorites right now.
Speaker 1: So here's here's a loaded question for you, Kyle. If
Speaker 1: you could pick any NFL team that Cam Scataboo could
Speaker 1: go to. Like, obviously, this guy is not going to
Speaker 1: go in the first round, maybe day two, we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. But if you could pick for fantasy goodness, like,
Speaker 1: where is the best spot for Cam Scataboo. Is it Baltimore?
Speaker 1: Is it San Francisco? Like there's a lot of different
Speaker 1: places he could go to. Where would you if you
Speaker 1: could have your pick of the litter, any NFL team
Speaker 1: and you could just say, okay, Scataboo goes here, and
Speaker 1: then you have the opportunity to draft him your dynasty
Speaker 1: league or what have you. Where would you want to
Speaker 1: see Scataboo go to?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so if I'm gonna set upside my fanhood with
Speaker 5: about the same right, Yeah, it's gonna be Pittsburgh Steelers
Speaker 5: for sure.
Speaker 4: I think he'd be a great fit in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: So Scataboo Warren Ferrell. I like that convo.
Speaker 2: I do too, But I really would like to see
Speaker 2: Warren get a workman's like carries and passed.
Speaker 1: But he won't. And that's and that like I've given
Speaker 1: up the goat on that, like yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, but now that you've you've got a
Speaker 2: glimmer of hope, now that Harris is gone. Judge, look,
Speaker 2: we've got a guess that knows about the draft. I
Speaker 2: thought that was a wonderful answer, and I was hoping
Speaker 2: you would bring that up. So I, uh but John Terry, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, we we we got a lean on John
Speaker 2: Balkey to get some good you know, to get some
Speaker 2: good show content. He could actually be he could actually
Speaker 2: be a co producer or something. But you know, he
Speaker 2: he had a question, who's the rookie that's going to
Speaker 2: really spike and move up in his a d P
Speaker 2: after the draft? And I think I think we can
Speaker 2: take a stab at that. I got a couple guys,
Speaker 2: but I really do want to hear your answer, Kyle.
Speaker 2: A guy right now who's a DP spikes after the draft?
Speaker 4: You talking about rookies?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 4: I think Cleveland's another landing spot. I'm curious who they
Speaker 4: end up with.
Speaker 5: I think that'll be a guy who jump a lot,
Speaker 5: because I don't think they'll spend an early pick. But
Speaker 5: one of the guys I personally like is uh Laquinn
Speaker 5: Allen from Syracuse. I think a really good kind of
Speaker 5: past catching guy that lands in the right spot. I
Speaker 5: can see him taking a big jump. That's probably. And
Speaker 5: then I also like, and I'm blinking on his last
Speaker 5: name of the guy from rutgerd Style Montague.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, right now, I got it, because yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's another.
Speaker 4: Guy just kind of like the way he runs away.
Speaker 5: His style is I think he can I think he'll
Speaker 5: be kind of a guy that kind of pops if
Speaker 5: he gets in the right spot.
Speaker 2: So an guy, Yeah, Kyle, Mike, Mike Quinzell hits with
Speaker 2: a good woman with R. J. Harvey running back out
Speaker 2: of u c F. So it's a player that I
Speaker 2: really like. I got a couple jayde Nigg, wide receiver
Speaker 2: Iowa State. Love him, love him and our quarterback here
Speaker 2: at University of Louisville, Tyler and I'll probably mispronounced the
Speaker 2: last name, which is kind of embarrassing considering he's in
Speaker 2: my hometown, Tyler Slow.
Speaker 1: I've heard uh shook on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, doesn't have a K anywhere in his name. I
Speaker 2: know we'll get to that.
Speaker 1: The wild thing is is uh yeah. I know he's
Speaker 1: been playing at Louisville the last year, but I've been
Speaker 1: told he is only a couple of years younger than you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's older than you, bough between our ages, he's
Speaker 2: between Yeah, he.
Speaker 1: Is the rare guy who is cashing a nil and
Speaker 1: social Security.
Speaker 2: You gotta love what he did. They told him last year,
Speaker 2: they said, you know what, you could be an undrafted
Speaker 2: free agent. He said, I could do better in that.
Speaker 2: And when brom calls, you answer the phone. And if
Speaker 2: you're a quarterback, you get on the nearest you know,
Speaker 2: you start hitchhiking down seventy one and move to Kentucky
Speaker 2: with which is exactly what Kyle p should do. We
Speaker 2: covered it earlier in the show.
Speaker 1: If I was to pose this to you, Kyle, Kyle Pollack,
Speaker 1: who is joining us tonight, your top three rookie picks
Speaker 1: in Dynasty Superflex leagues. Let's just say we're in a
Speaker 1: vacuum here, every team is built the same. How would
Speaker 1: you lay out your top three Dynasty Superflex picks one
Speaker 1: O three, regardless of team need or anything like that,
Speaker 1: Because obviously we're taking into account the quarterbacks, were taking
Speaker 1: into account the running backs, and obviously Tech McMillan factors
Speaker 1: into this as well. Putting you on the spot here tonight,
Speaker 1: But how would you rank your top three FFPC Dynasty
Speaker 1: Superflex rookie draft picks?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say for me, al Sean gent number one.
Speaker 5: I think I feel pretty good about that. I think
Speaker 5: Cam Word, if he goes number one overall the Titans
Speaker 5: like it's looking, I would put him a number two
Speaker 5: just because I think the value quarterback and.
Speaker 4: I think it's a little tougher.
Speaker 5: But personally, I would go Travon Henderson is my number three,
Speaker 5: so I think.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be.
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna be one of these guys that
Speaker 5: really has a great NFL career.
Speaker 4: So I'm a big a fan of him.
Speaker 1: Henderson over Hampton, Henderson over Burden, Henderson over Shader Sanders.
Speaker 1: This is a guy that you clearly like quite a
Speaker 1: bit here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do. I think he's really talented. I like
Speaker 5: he's got I think he's got all parts of the game.
Speaker 5: I think he'd do He's a three down guy. I
Speaker 5: think he do it all. So I think he's got
Speaker 5: you know, he's got pass blocking, which I think is
Speaker 5: gonna help him stay on the field more.
Speaker 4: He's got he can do it all.
Speaker 2: So I like him that.
Speaker 1: I think one of the great things about Henderson is
Speaker 1: whoever drafts him and he might go Round one. I
Speaker 1: don't think he will. It's probably gonna be early round two.
Speaker 1: But whoever drafts him is probably going to either a
Speaker 1: have a running back already on that team that can
Speaker 1: keep Henderson healthy for the majority of the season, or
Speaker 1: be they will draft another they go bang bang with
Speaker 1: Henderson in the second and then maybe another running back
Speaker 1: in the third or the fourth or whatever. Because one
Speaker 1: of the things we've learned about Henderson over the years,
Speaker 1: if he has to be the guy like he was
Speaker 1: at Ohio State, it hasn't worked out for well for him.
Speaker 1: The Buckeyes go out prior to this season and they
Speaker 1: get quinch On Judkins and they add him to the
Speaker 1: Buckeyes backfield, and then all of a sudden, these guys
Speaker 1: become one A and one B. Henderson stays healthy and
Speaker 1: he stays awesome all season. And I think that's something
Speaker 1: that you got to keep in mind. If Henderson goes
Speaker 1: to a team that already has a running back that
Speaker 1: is ready to produce or already has produced, or they
Speaker 1: go bang bang and they get another running back on
Speaker 1: day two or day three, there is going to be
Speaker 1: a movement in the dynasty community that is going to
Speaker 1: keep Travian Henderson's ADP down. I don't think you do that.
Speaker 1: I think that if a team does that with Henderson
Speaker 1: where they add somebody or they already have somebody, this
Speaker 1: is all beneficial to Henderson and he is still going
Speaker 1: to be a great player this year. You can't really
Speaker 1: see it, get wint to see it, but I think
Speaker 1: it's going to happen this year. So whether he's the
Speaker 1: Bellkow or not, Kyle, I'm with you. I think this
Speaker 1: guy is going to be big in twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: for redraft and dynasty leagues.
Speaker 2: I love that book. He's squint to see it.
Speaker 1: He's went to see it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm squinting to see all these offers Kyle that
Speaker 2: come into my inbox from Dynasty, and I just can't
Speaker 2: pull the trigger on because it's I'm not building my
Speaker 2: team through training, so I better have a good draft.
Speaker 2: What is there in your dynasty teams? Is there one
Speaker 2: player that you really want to get off the roster
Speaker 2: and really sell and is there one that you're actively
Speaker 2: trying to acquire? Yeah, because I wish I could get
Speaker 2: that fever that says I really want to go get
Speaker 2: that player, And you got a guy like that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 5: I think generally for selling, I'm really trying to sell
Speaker 5: any any running backs or not, you know, any of
Speaker 5: the non top league guys you know, set before the
Speaker 5: draft especially. I think the one that I sold the
Speaker 5: most and gotten pretty good value for is Tyrone Tracy
Speaker 5: for the Giants.
Speaker 1: Oh totally. I love that yeah, absolutely, what have you
Speaker 1: been getting for him in your deals?
Speaker 5: So for example, one I paired him up with Josh
Speaker 5: Downs and was able to get and uh Jared Goff
Speaker 5: was able to get Rock Perdy and Ricky Pierce all
Speaker 5: back on the team did to cut some stuff back.
Speaker 5: Another one, I was able to pair him with Derek
Speaker 5: Henry to get Jamiir Gibbs, which I really liked that
Speaker 5: one a lot.
Speaker 2: No, that's awes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so so that was kind of the two I
Speaker 4: thought of.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean a lot of the running backs,
Speaker 5: I was trying to either tear up to one of the.
Speaker 4: Top guys or just you know, get rid of them.
Speaker 2: And well you may regret that when Derrick Henry's forty
Speaker 2: two and still play. Yeah, maybe you know Jamier Gibbs
Speaker 2: hard hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's do this here, guys. As we were
Speaker 1: were making our way through the end of the show tonight,
Speaker 1: I want to go to the YouTube chat. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff about Kyle Pitts. I think we've talked
Speaker 1: that to death. Kyle Pitts the Bengals. Yeah, it's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Okay, let's do this. Let's talk about Travis Hunter.
Speaker 1: Here Pearson chiming in on this, Travis Hunter is the
Speaker 1: most exciting prospect in the NFL draft. Different is exciting.
Speaker 1: Let's see an offense and a defense time share like
Speaker 1: we've never seen. This is something that you will have
Speaker 1: to answer to, Kyle, when it gets to your rookie drafts.
Speaker 1: How do you think you're going to handle a guy
Speaker 1: like Travis Hunter, who maybe is the best wide receiver
Speaker 1: prospect in this draft, But at the same time, if
Speaker 1: they're using him a lot on defense, I don't know
Speaker 1: how beneficial he can be for fantasy. It's one of
Speaker 1: the great conundrums we've had to answer over the last
Speaker 1: two decades in dynasty. What's your response to this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I'm gonna be really curious to how
Speaker 5: he's announced on draft night.
Speaker 4: I know, I'm all in.
Speaker 5: Like I said, I might put him in my number
Speaker 5: three spot, you know, if that's the case. But yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, that's a tough one.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: You know, it's all about fantasy football is all about
Speaker 5: targets and opportunities, and you can be talented if you're
Speaker 5: playing defense half the time, it's it's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 1: So or more than half the time too. The other
Speaker 1: thing to keep in mind, Michael Kenzell chiming in right now,
Speaker 1: Jaden Higgins is a baller if Iowa State had a
Speaker 1: better quarterback. And by the way, where's the hate on Rocco?
Speaker 1: Like they don't don't hate on Rocco. He was a
Speaker 1: fantastic quarterback for Iowa State there, but he says if
Speaker 1: Iowa State at a better quarterback, he'd be right there
Speaker 1: with Ted mcviillain. Kyle. I am not willing to go
Speaker 1: that far, but I certainly understand the sentiment. Your thoughts
Speaker 1: on Jaden Higgins, the big wide receiver out of Iowa
Speaker 1: State here Ames Iowa, the pride of Ames, Iowa coming
Speaker 1: into the NFL draft. How do you think Higgins falls
Speaker 1: in in rookie drafts and how do you evaluate him
Speaker 1: as a prospect.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think it'll be interesting where he lands.
Speaker 5: I know, have seen second round drafts, you know, going
Speaker 5: the second round pick definitely got a what you're seeing
Speaker 5: from him.
Speaker 4: I think in this class, I think some of the some.
Speaker 5: Of the higher receivers I'm not as high on as
Speaker 5: some others, But you know, I think it's not a
Speaker 5: great receiver class.
Speaker 4: So I think he's got a chance to be a guy,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 5: I mean, I see him kind of maybe as you know,
Speaker 5: second round guy in a rookie draft.
Speaker 4: I'd tried. That's where I look at him for with
Speaker 4: all the running backs.
Speaker 1: So you're kind of in I'm assuming he goes in
Speaker 1: the second round in the NFL draft, you would take him,
Speaker 1: you would you would skip over him in the first
Speaker 1: round and your rookie drafts, assuming he goes on Day two,
Speaker 1: and you would just take a shot on him some
Speaker 1: of your drafts in your second second round.
Speaker 5: I think with the amount of running backs out there
Speaker 5: and even some of the tight ends that we have,
Speaker 5: you know, you know love I I don't see him
Speaker 5: going for me personally in the first round, So I
Speaker 5: see him maybe early second.
Speaker 4: I might take a look at him then.
Speaker 5: So I don't think I'll get a lot of him
Speaker 5: because I think he'll go early if it's a great
Speaker 5: draft spot.
Speaker 1: Another question from Antemima John Terry himself. Did you go
Speaker 1: to Ohio State?
Speaker 4: By chance?
Speaker 1: Is that where he went to college? Where did you
Speaker 1: go to kyleege Kyle.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did not actually went to Cincinnati for my
Speaker 5: first year in a nap at Sint Christian over there,
Speaker 5: played golf on the school's team there.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So what is Cincinnati Christian d One?
Speaker 4: No, it's an NAI school.
Speaker 1: Any Okay, So we haven't ANYI a collegiate golfer on
Speaker 1: the show tonight, adding into the long line of incredible
Speaker 1: athletes we've had on the show, Kyle, I appreciate that
Speaker 1: you sharing that tonight. Michael Kinzell also wants to know,
Speaker 1: and we have not talked a lot about Caleb Johnson tonight,
Speaker 1: but he wants to know what we think of the
Speaker 1: Iowa State running back. Kala, I'll throw this to you.
Speaker 1: I am not down. I'm not up on this guy.
Speaker 1: I think there's limited upside for him in the NFL.
Speaker 1: How do you view Caleb Johnson very similar?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's gonna be a solid running back.
Speaker 5: I don't see him as a high upside guy that
Speaker 5: I'm really going out to get, you know, I think
Speaker 5: you know, like I said, I don't see him being
Speaker 5: a guy that layd on a lot of my teams
Speaker 5: for fantasy football. But I think he'll be a good
Speaker 5: NFL running back for a team. And I've done a
Speaker 5: lot of ways.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think Farrell is that how you view
Speaker 1: Caleb Johnson as well. I mean, not anything spectacular, but
Speaker 1: what should be all right. The thing is like, when
Speaker 1: it comes to your rookie draft, I always tend to
Speaker 1: draft for upside. So Caleb Johnson is kind of a
Speaker 1: challenge for me because I don't see a lot of upside,
Speaker 1: but I do see a lot of things that he
Speaker 1: can help me with. Even in his rookie year and
Speaker 1: in his rookie contract, I think he can be all right,
Speaker 1: and I think.
Speaker 2: He would have to be a late round redraft main
Speaker 2: event player for me. I think I'm gonna get involved here.
Speaker 2: You know, Tom Smith joined us late tonight, and uh,
Speaker 2: it's always great to have Tom on. He'll have to
Speaker 2: rewatch the show because we did talk about his beloved
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins, and Tom we talked to. We talked to
Speaker 2: a gentleman that knows football. It's been a it's been
Speaker 2: a pleasure having this cat here.
Speaker 1: Uh, Kyle, you've been a gentleman and a scholar. I
Speaker 1: feel bad having you come on tonight and hustle right
Speaker 1: after vacation is done, but I really want to thank
Speaker 1: you for all the insight you've provided. I want to
Speaker 1: wish you good luck in all your leagues this year,
Speaker 1: not only your rookie dynasty drafts that will be coming
Speaker 1: up in about a month here, but all your redraft leagues,
Speaker 1: everything that you're doing here with the FFPC. Thanks so
Speaker 1: much for carving out some time in your schedule. Who
Speaker 1: Day hashtag who Day indeed, and be very looking forward
Speaker 1: to seeing how Higgins, Chase, Burrow, Brown, everybody goes as
Speaker 1: far as bringing back fantasy value in redrafting dynasty leagues
Speaker 1: going forward in Cincinnati. Thank you so much, my friend.
Speaker 1: This was a treat and good luck to you the
Speaker 1: rest of twenty twenty five and beyond.
Speaker 4: Thanks. Guys, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: That is, he is the man, Kyle Pollock lateises gentlemen,
Speaker 1: the multi league winner in the FFPC over the course
Speaker 1: of his career. Good stuff Barrell from a Bengals fan tonight,
Speaker 1: and anytime we get a Bengals fan on, I think
Speaker 1: it's going to be crucial because as much as we
Speaker 1: saw from Burrow and Higgins and Chase and Brown last year,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of leagues will hinge upon how
Speaker 1: well these guys do in twenty twenty five, given that
Speaker 1: the defense, unless they hit on a lot of picks
Speaker 1: in the draft, is probably going to be mediocre to
Speaker 1: bad again this year.
Speaker 2: When you when you have to score the ball, and
Speaker 2: when you have it's good for fantasy sports perhaps, but
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily good for the football team when you
Speaker 2: have to say we got we gotta score forty to compete.
Speaker 2: And what you opened with in the in the early
Speaker 2: part of the show, bog Yeah, talking about Hendrickson was
Speaker 2: right on spot. And you know we've said on the
Speaker 2: show before, I don't understand him New Orleans ever, let
Speaker 2: this player get away, and if Cincinnati doesn't, you know,
Speaker 2: Cincinnati needs to make sure that he's a player.
Speaker 1: And he will be just will he be with the Bengals,
Speaker 1: I don't know. And quite frankly, as a fantasy player,
Speaker 1: as a dynasty player who owns Burrow has Chase is
Speaker 1: going to be deploying T Higgins and Chase Brown and
Speaker 1: leagues this here, I kind of hope Hendrickson is not
Speaker 1: on the team. Like I want that defense to be bad.
Speaker 1: I want the Bengals to be up video game stats
Speaker 1: every single.
Speaker 2: Time, but you want the down in distance that a
Speaker 2: defense allows Burrow and Chase and those guys to get
Speaker 2: into you know, you you don't want them. You don't
Speaker 2: want them having to go eighty rs to score the
Speaker 2: ball every time.
Speaker 1: I don't think, No, I don't, I don't I want yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Hindrickson, you know those all those sacks means
Speaker 2: that that ball comes, you know, back to the Bengals off.
Speaker 2: I think that's I think the possessions of what they
Speaker 2: do with it from a down and distance and from
Speaker 2: a field position standpoint, they can make. They can put
Speaker 2: a lot of touchdowns. Pharaoh.
Speaker 1: We are a little over five months away from Northern
Speaker 1: Kentucky and Louisville for the Kentucky Fantasy Football State Championship
Speaker 1: live events. But after we went off the air last week,
Speaker 1: I spent some time registering for not only reupping my
Speaker 1: dynasty teams with the KFFC, but I signed up for
Speaker 1: a bunch of main event teams. I signed up for
Speaker 1: the Midnight Madness Saturday in Louisville, which goes off the
Speaker 1: board at eleven o'clock, and then, because I'm a glutton
Speaker 1: for punishment, after that draft wraps up at about one
Speaker 1: in the morning, I'll be drafting at the Sunrise at
Speaker 1: the Bourbon Turn in Louisville at seven thirty am the
Speaker 1: next and then sunset at the Bourbon Turn at seven
Speaker 1: thirty at night. Those are just a few of the
Speaker 1: drafts have already registered for at the KFFFC. I'll be
Speaker 1: registering for more. And then you also talked about this
Speaker 1: before we came out on the air tonight, the Best
Speaker 1: Ball Sweet sixteen tournament. This is a first for the
Speaker 1: KFF to C if I'm remembering correctly, and this is
Speaker 1: going to be available for people shortly here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the our Sweet sixteen ten thousand dollars grand prize,
Speaker 2: ninety six teams, three hundred dollars entry fee. Is a
Speaker 2: beloved tournament that we have at the Super Bowl, and
Speaker 2: it's a managed league and people like the chance to
Speaker 2: grab that ten thousand dollars prize and have as many
Speaker 2: as eight shots said it, there'll be eight twelve team
Speaker 2: divisions within the league and the Best Ball format. We
Speaker 2: just heard from so many players that we want to play.
Speaker 2: It's just how many teams can I manage. So the
Speaker 2: Best Ball format, starting right after this year's NFL Draft
Speaker 2: is the way that we're going to attack that so
Speaker 2: it'll be up on the site soon and any of
Speaker 2: the listeners from an eligible state, we would love to
Speaker 2: have you play.
Speaker 1: There is a Bestball league that I am also signed
Speaker 1: up for that I just signed up for it and
Speaker 1: now it's down to three teams left with the thirty
Speaker 1: nine dollars Draftmaster going on in KFF Excited for that
Speaker 1: to fill. If you want to join that, or any
Speaker 1: of the main event leagues both at Northern Kentucky and Louisville,

Speaker 1: here hanging out with you on a Friday night talking
Speaker 1: fantasy football. I would have liked to talk more Raiders tonight.
Speaker 1: That didn't happen. Maybe next week we'll see what.
Speaker 2: I got them into the conversation.
Speaker 1: Well you did, you weaved it in for sure.
Speaker 2: We'll get to Gino Smith.
Speaker 1: Everybody wills to oh I do I do Genosmith's impact
Speaker 1: on Black Bouers and Jacoby Myers. This is something that
Speaker 1: we will talk about going forward here as we are
Speaker 1: less than three weeks away from the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2: Maybe they can get Josh Jacobs back. Considering you no
Speaker 2: longer appreciate.
Speaker 1: Well the Packers didn't go out and get a number
Speaker 1: one receiver for Josh Jacobs request. Maybe he can go
Speaker 1: back to Las Vegas and the Packers can double tap
Speaker 1: running back here and get o'mari and Hampton, Marshawn Lloyd
Speaker 1: and RJ. Harvey or something like that.
Speaker 2: I just challenge any of the other thirty one teams
Speaker 2: in the NFL to go draft him one hundred plus
Speaker 2: catch tighty end this year.
Speaker 1: That's a great point. Great point, Farrell, be good. We'll
Speaker 1: talk with you next next Friday.
Speaker 2: Man, see you brother.
Speaker 1: That is Farrell Elliot. Ladies and gentlemen hanging out tonight
