I don't 56 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.599 know what's more insane, your beard or my hair going 57 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.879 on right now? I mean, really, I so it looks 58 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:03.120 like I got electrocuted, right like. 59 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:04.080 That's like where I'm at. 60 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.120 Very humid here in Massachusetts is where I live and 61 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:08.639 I just I just really need a haircut. I haven't 62 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.319 been able to get out to doing the the old haircut. 63 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.159 Got a recently new puppy last month, so that's really 64 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.120 been taking up a lot of my time, along with 65 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.360 some of these FFPC super Flex Best Ball drafts that 66 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.560 myself and Tom Strachen have been drafting on his channel 67 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:23.759 on the Fantasy Pros channel. 68 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.120 We just launched our. 69 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.599 Best Ball live stream that we do every Monday or 70 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.599 every other Monday. Myself and Tom we draft a best 71 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.960 Ball team and last earlier this week it was f 72 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.960 FPC and at the number one overall pick, Drake may Baby. 73 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.000 That's why, you know, nothing wrong with that. I was, 74 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:43.759 you know, I was looking at I was prepping the 75 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.159 show Rundown last night, and I was like, God, this 76 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:48.840 is a lot of content. I don't think we're gonna 77 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.080 get to everything. And I debated whether or not to 78 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.360 actually include any AJ Brown talk because I feel if 79 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.639 we bring up AJ Brown, it's going to dominate. Like 80 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:00.000 there's gonna be like a forty. 81 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.120 It's gonna dominate like a J. Brown. It's gonna dominate 82 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:03.639 this year. 83 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.000 It's gonna be a soliloquy. There you're gonna go off 84 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.439 on your soapbox a sermon. So, but we will get 85 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.439 to aj Brown toight. It's gonna be a lot of fun. 86 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.800 Uh well, we will. By the way, Andrew and I 87 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.120 tonight will go around the NFL in the first segment. 88 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.439 Normally that's our longer one. I think our longer one 89 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.279 tonight is gonna be the second one. We're gonna talk 90 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.759 about must haves and FFPC drafts and talk about whether 91 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.759 these guys are must haves targets or guys that you 92 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.240 can let other people draft. And then the final segment 93 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.079 two we will go into running back targets and fades. 94 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.000 We'll get into Chase Brown, Javonte Williams, Rashad White, players 95 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.120 like that, and then it'll be the show tonight. It's 96 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:42.680 gonna be a lot of fun. So glad to have 97 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.519 Andrew aboard. And and this thing with Tom that that 98 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.040 you're doing. Is that something new this year that you've 99 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.800 been doing Andrew or were you doing this in years 100 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:51.639 past with him too? 101 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.199 So yeah, I think it was two years ago that 102 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.319 I suggested that we should do some type of best 103 00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.519 Ball live stream that we didn't really have one on 104 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.600 the Fantasy He pros Feed and I pitched it and 105 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.240 I said, Okay, who do you want to do as 106 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.680 your co host? And I the first guy that came 107 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.160 to mind was Tom's track, because I know that he's 108 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.439 obviously been in the Best Ball Street. 109 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:10.680 It's very experienced there. 110 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.759 So it's fun to pick his brain because I know 111 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:14.920 that he drafts way more teams than I do. But 112 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.560 it's always fun because sometimes you go head to head, 113 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.000 so I'll draft in the same room and other times 114 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.120 we'll draft team together. And I'm always helping Tom get 115 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.839 exposure to the right guys good to get Yeah. 116 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.439 Tom, Tom's another former co host of this show. However, 117 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.160 it's always, you know, when I have these guys across 118 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.319 the pond, it's always delicate, right because I don't really 119 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.120 I can't really reschedule the time on this and Tom 120 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.839 was a trooper one time that he basically did the 121 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:42.839 show in the middle of the night there, which was awesome, 122 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:45.959 but I don't think he cared for it oh that much. 123 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.879 Like while he was doing it and I said, well, listen, 124 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.639 we got to do this again sometime, and He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, 125 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.319 we could do it again sometime. And I've kind of 126 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.560 been politely staying away, you know, from asking him to 127 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:57.959 come on, because I know what a bear it is 128 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.439 for him to do it. But he's great and obviously 129 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.639 anybody who watched the streams that you do with him, 130 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.399 it's it's it's fantastic as well. All right. I was 131 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.120 going to lead off with some breaking news because we 132 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.920 don't often get breaking news on the show, And if 133 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.920 I can pull up Schefter's Twitter right now, Andrew, I 134 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.279 think he's the one who I who I saw this from, 135 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:22.360 But I think this is an interesting way to lead 136 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.199 it off. No, it wasn't Schefter, was somebody maybe his Rapaport. 137 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:31.399 But I'm seeing reports right now of Jalen Cocher being 138 00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.560 extended by the Carolina Panthers, Andrew, which is very very 139 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.959 interesting when you consider that this was a player that 140 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.800 was you know, what are the Panthers, what have they 141 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.399 recently done? It is Rapaport who said that they've agreed 142 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.600 to Coker on a new contract extension when you think 143 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.959 about the Panthers have done the past couple of years. 144 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.000 McMillan Teteroa. McMillan was a first round pick right the 145 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.279 year before that, it was Xavier Leaguett who was a 146 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.720 first round pick, and we saw these Jalen Cocher truthers 147 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.000 in the fantasy circle. Fantasy circles kind of talk him up. 148 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.839 I've been drafting him here and there late. I just 149 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.399 wonder what the ceiling is in that offense there. But 150 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.199 I think this is a boon for anybody who's holding 151 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.759 Jalen Coker on their dynasty teams, anybody who's already drafted 152 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.360 him this year. Clearly the Panthers have made him an 153 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.879 important part of their future. And you know because of 154 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.839 the contract too, Andrew, he's an important part of the 155 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.199 present this year. What do you make of this Cocher 156 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.759 contracts extension for Carolina and specifically what it does for 157 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.079 him in redraft this year if anything. 158 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.519 Well, first of all, shout out to Jallen Coker, undrafted 159 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.639 free agent out of holy Cross, which is a school 160 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.120 in western Massachusetts, very close to where I grew up, 161 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.399 somewhere where I had baseball camps at holy Cross University. 162 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.040 So it's a school that's not known for a lot 163 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.519 of its football products. So shout out to Jalen Coker 164 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.319 for getting the bag as an undrafted free agent. 165 00:07:58.319 --> 00:07:59.480 And it's not easy to do. 166 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.639 So how he impacts the Caroline Panthers, I think that 167 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.639 it's probably going to be him as the number two 168 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.720 guy behind McMillan. Big t Mac is the alephan this 169 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.680 passing game. They don't really have a tight end. I again, 170 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.439 tight end is so in vogue right now, it's like, oh, 171 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.439 everyone's got to have like five tight ends on the roster. 172 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.439 Panthers don't really have any that I feel like are 173 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.319 really strong target earners. I mean Jatavian Sanders, What are 174 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.279 we going to run it back with him again? So 175 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.040 I think that the receivers are going to be the 176 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:28.639 vocal points of the passing game. 177 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.480 And I think they're in a position. 178 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.200 With Bryce Young. Where are they going to extend him? 179 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.399 Is he going to be their franchise quarterback? I think 180 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.399 this team Dave Canals calling the shots. I think they 181 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.000 got to take the training wheels off a little bit 182 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.240 with Bryce Young. Whether it's gonna be good or bad. 183 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.080 They got to figure out if, hey, if we're going 184 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.720 to be a pass happier offense, because last year they 185 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.639 tried to hide Bryce Young. They tried to just ride 186 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.399 Rico Dawdle and Chewba Hubbard, whoever was healthy, whoever's playing 187 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.840 more effectively. But now you've got weapons that you feel 188 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.360 pretty good about. You have team at entering year two. Okay, 189 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.639 he can be a superstar Jalen Cocor if he's healthy, 190 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:00.080 because that's really been the big thing with him the 191 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.840 last two years. Barry banged up, dealing with a lot 192 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.200 of lower body injuries, but when he's been on the field, 193 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.200 very effective, and obviously he had that last last time 194 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.799 he saw Jalen Coker freaking blowing up against the Los 195 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.039 Angeles Rams, and the Kocas are just losing their minds, 196 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.559 Derek Brown included. So I definitely think that Cocher again 197 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:19.120 last nine games played average ten point one ppr, point 198 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.639 three and half ppr. He catches everything thrown his way 199 00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:23.360 seventy eight percent catch right, that was top five in 200 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.600 the NFL last year. So he gets targets, he works 201 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.159 out of the slot. I think that he fits really 202 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.120 well with what they have in Chris Brazzle as this 203 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.759 field stretcher, team ac as that all around alpha and 204 00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.120 then Jalen Coker eating out of the slot. So maybe 205 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.639 in all the Titan heavy offenses, I think the Panthers 206 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.879 might be one of these teams that now we like 207 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.720 eleven person ol, like, maybe we'll do three wide receiver sets. 208 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.840 Let Bryce Young quote unquote cook because I got to 209 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.159 figure out can he be the chef for the future. 210 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.080 The You know, this is interesting too, Like I don't 211 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.200 want to compare it to what the Jaguars have going 212 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.080 on there, but when you look at Carolina with McMillan, Lagette, 213 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.879 Cocher and brazl as you had mentioned, this might be. 214 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:06.600 If you are a believer in the Carolina Panthers, you 215 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.679 should be a believer in Bryce Young as your second 216 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.279 quarterback in super Flex Bestball tournaments. You should be a 217 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.639 believer that Young takes a step forward this year. And 218 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:17.000 quite frankly, Andrew, if he doesn't, Carolina is probably going 219 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.440 to be in the market for a quarterback in twenty 220 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.960 twenty seven. This is this is the definitive make or 221 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:23.320 break year for Bryce Young. 222 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:25.480 One hundred percent could not agree more. 223 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.399 And I think that it bodes well for the Panthers 224 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.639 to just let him rip, let him see if he 225 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.320 can do it or not, because if he fails and 226 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.759 the Panthers have a bad record, well, Panthers are a 227 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:35.279 perfect team. 228 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:36.759 That could draft a quarterback in a. 229 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.679 What should be a very talented rookie class coming out 230 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.720 in twenty twenty seven, or if you find that Brayce 231 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:45.080 Song is really just a win with quarterback, which I 232 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.840 think is probably the most likely scenario with him. I 233 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.240 think that those are quarterbacks you don't want to overpay. 234 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.320 That's how you run into the issues where we're running 235 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.000 in with like Tua, where we want other teams eat 236 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.159 this team's salary. When you're a win with quarterback, if 237 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.799 you overpay those guys, you run to try down the road. 238 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.960 So interesting year, but I think for fantasy purposes, Bryce 239 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.399 Young office ol jus as a rusher, got more weapons, 240 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.039 and to his credit, he's improved every year he's been 241 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.240 in the NFL. I know it's started out really rocky, 242 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.440 really tough situation, but every year he's gotten a little 243 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.639 bit better. I think maybe we get see the best 244 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.879 year of Bryce Young yet. But is that still enough 245 00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.639 for the Panthers to be convinced he is a franchise 246 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:21.639 future quarterback. 247 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.120 I'm still not so sure. 248 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.240 Yeah, it's a different bar right And the other great 249 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.679 thing I love about Bryce Young and really, quite frankly, 250 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.120 all the Panthers that division that they play in. I 251 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.240 don't really see a dominant defense there. So you could 252 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.080 see some big time Panthers in Saints games, or Buccaneers 253 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.159 Saints or Falcons Panthers, you know, what have you. I 254 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.639 think it'll be interesting to watch how those offenses play 255 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:51.200 off those average to subpar defenses in that division. We 256 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:55.480 go to the AFC South next here. Andrew Cameron wolf 257 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:59.080 had this report a couple of days ago from the 258 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.120 NFL Network. David Montgomery apparently is quote ready to be 259 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.759 a potential three down back if needed. Now that's what 260 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:10.240 Cameron Wolfe's that's the words he chose to use. I 261 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.000 think what's interesting here is what, you know, what do 262 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.440 we talk about Woody Marks when he got drafted last 263 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.759 year while it was his past catching chops right, and 264 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.720 then he was sort of miscast in the Panther in 265 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.039 the Texans offense, beg your pardon last year as this 266 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:27.440 three down guy out of necessity because they were so 267 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:31.840 beat up with no Mixon obviously, and it was just 268 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.519 not a good situation for Woody Johns or Woody Marx 269 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.600 to be the type of player that, you know, to 270 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.159 accentuate his strengths. Now Montgomery comes down there, we would 271 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:44.840 think that he will be the first and second down banger. 272 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.759 This report from Cameron Wolf a potential three down back, 273 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.559 does does this just mean that as long as Woody 274 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.120 Marx is healthy, Montgomery's not catching passes on third down? 275 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.559 Or does this mean that Montgomery is a player that 276 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.879 they believe could just be the de facto Bell cow 277 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.879 relegating Woody Marx to I don't want to say spot duty, 278 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.440 but you know, not even a regular third down guy. 279 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.519 What's the way that you're looking at the Texans running 280 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:16.080 back situation for drafts at this moment, Andrew, I. 281 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.799 Think Dave Montgomery's kind of that carbon copy fantasy RB 282 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.200 two where it's going to be mostly volume driven. I 283 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.799 don't think we're gonna get absurd efficiency from David Montgomery 284 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:26.120 in any way, shape or for him. He is an 285 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.519 older running back, closer to the age of thirty than 286 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:30.720 to the age of twenty two or twenty three. Obviously, 287 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:32.960 he has a lot of tread on the tires, and 288 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:34.799 he just profiles as a banger. That's why he was 289 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.879 effective and how he was effective in Detroit playing alongside 290 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.679 Jamir Gibbs and I think it's a role that he 291 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.279 can potentially be useful. And I don't think he's a 292 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:44.559 league winner by any means, but in terms of value, 293 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.360 if he's going late enough in drafts as an RB two, 294 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:50.480 I'm finally, David Montgomery, I agree with you that Woody Marks, 295 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:51.200 I mean. 296 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:51.960 Out of necessity. 297 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:55.200 Well, if the necessity is well, it's either start Dave 298 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:57.919 Montgomery on three downs or start Woody Marx, then we're 299 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.600 gonna start David Montgomery on all three downs. Ruddy Marx 300 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.440 was terrible last year kind of across the board, So yes, 301 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.840 he does definitely fit more of a receiving role. I 302 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:09.279 think that would probably fit and help the Texas office 303 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.240 a little bit more. But I mean, the jury still 304 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.799 out on this Texas offensive line. They can revamp it 305 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:15.399 and try to change it as much as they want, 306 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.080 bring in different guys from different. 307 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.320 Teams until it's good. 308 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.360 Like I'm gonna remain skeptical that this offense is the 309 00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:23.159 line he's going out for text c JA Droud and 310 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.320 establish a decent run game because basically, since c J. 311 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.279 Stroud has been on the Houston Texans, they've never really 312 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.120 had a decent run game that was really really consistent 313 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.360 from a down to down basis. I know Joe Mixon 314 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.399 had a decent year. I think it was his first 315 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:37.360 season with the Houston Texans. He did a lot of 316 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:39.360 job as a receiver, but I still think mix in 317 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.399 at his peak and when he entered at his first 318 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:43.879 year with the Texas, I think he's still ahead of 319 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.360 where Dave Montgomery is right now. So Montgomery, I think 320 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.679 is fine, not necessarily someone that I'm like, oh, got 321 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.519 pounded day with Dave Montgomery, but someone that they can 322 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:55.279 be a value, especially earlier in the season where you 323 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.399 need or where he's fully healthy and ready to go. 324 00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.399 And I think that, yeah, he's probably the favorite to 325 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:00.840 see a eas and chunk of volume. 326 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.080 I know you said the jury still out on the 327 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.720 Houston offensive line, and I'm glad you brought this up 328 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:10.240 because I've heard different people within the industry whom I respect, 329 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.000 take differing approaches to what they believe the Texans did 330 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.919 with their offensive line this offseason. Some people think it 331 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:21.519 was moving deck chairs around on the Titanic, that it 332 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:23.799 didn't get any better and quite frankly, might actually be 333 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.879 worse when all said and done this year. And then 334 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:29.679 there's other people looking at and seeing how proactive Houston 335 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:33.759 was with getting new pieces on this offensive line to 336 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.679 block for Montgomery. And then you also think, Andrew, what's 337 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:40.320 the philosophy for Damiko Ryans and Nick Casario in Houston? 338 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.279 They got this unbelievable defense. Wouldn't you want to just 339 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:45.759 be able to pound the ball control the game as 340 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.919 much as you can make the necessary throws to Collins 341 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.159 and Higgins and Dell and Schultz when you have to. 342 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:54.960 But Montgomery and the offensive line should be the end 343 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.639 to the yang of this dominant Houston defense. But specifically 344 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.799 with the offensive line. I know you said the jury 345 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:02.639 is still out. If I have to pin you down 346 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.080 right now. June eleventh, twenty twenty six, do you believe 347 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:09.759 that the Texans offensive line right now is better than 348 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:11.399 it was at the end of last season. 349 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:12.960 I do believe it is better. 350 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:17.080 But how much better is kind of where I stop. 351 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.399 I don't want to get too carried away, because offensive 352 00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.960 lines fluctuate a lot of time and a lot of 353 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:25.720 its injury related. However, I do feel that the way 354 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.840 that it's constructed right now, it's probably the best version 355 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:30.960 that we have seen of it. Does that mean it's 356 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:35.720 twentieth in the NFL versus thirty second potentially, and that 357 00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:38.039 is a big increase. So ultimately I am a little 358 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:40.240 bit more optimistic about this runn game. I think Dave 359 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:42.759 Montgomery is clearly better than every other running back that 360 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:43.399 had last year. 361 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:44.600 Again, it was what he marks. 362 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:46.799 Nick Chubb was the other guy that they hadn't better 363 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:48.960 than that they signed, and I mean poor went out 364 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:49.519 for Nick Chubb. 365 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:50.440 Man like that guy just. 366 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:53.840 Walk out of bed getting five yards of carry, had 367 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.600 that devastating injury, was on the Browns for basically his 368 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.440 entire career, just never really had a chance to play 369 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.279 for a superstar team. But yeah, I think that this 370 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:04.680 run game will be more effective than it was last year. 371 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.119 For sure. 372 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:10.039 The injury news continues here, but this I think is good. 373 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.799 George Kittle believes that he's on track to play Week 374 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.480 one against the Rams. This was a report that came 375 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.799 out this past Saturday. Andrew he met with the media. 376 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.200 He says his achilles is doing great, he's had no setbacks, 377 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.720 and that it is realistic for him to come back 378 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.799 eight months after rupturing that what is it attendant, It's attendant, right, 379 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.920 The achilles tendon Anyway, He's gonna turn thirty three in October, 380 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.680 so certainly time isn't necessarily on his side for a 381 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.000 fast recovery here. I know there's plenty of FFPC players 382 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:44.599 I've talked to talking up drafting Jake Tanjas because they 383 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.400 believe that this guy is going to matter in tight 384 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.920 end premium leagues until Kittle gets back. The million dollar question, though, Andrew, 385 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.559 is when is Kittle coming back? I know, and I 386 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:57.720 was one of them. I was pretty down on Kittle 387 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:01.279 missing most of the season, and now I'm kind of 388 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:03.440 kind of walked back a little bit on that based 389 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:06.359 on what I've heard now. I haven't heard anything concrete 390 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.240 or read anything concrete from the Niners. I'm just going 391 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.680 off of kind of what Kittle says. And I always 392 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:16.400 say that taking injury analysis from the player who is 393 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:19.519 actually rehabbing the injury usually is not the best thing 394 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.240 in the world, because they usually tend to paint themselves 395 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:25.039 in a very positive light and it's just sort of 396 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.799 the mentality they have to have to get back onto 397 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:30.279 the field. Kittle believes he can come back and be 398 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.160 ready week one. I still have misgivings about drafting Kittle 399 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.119 as high as he's going. You think about FFPC players 400 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.119 right now, they're still taking George Kittle, even coming off 401 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.480 this achilles at age thirty two, as tight end nine. 402 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.640 He's going in the mid seventh round again tight end 403 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:49.000 premium format. But Kittle is going ahead of Likely, He's 404 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:51.759 going ahead of Kelsey, He's going ahead of Kincaid. It's 405 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:54.000 a price I don't know if I'm willing to pay 406 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:56.519 at this point because quite frankly, we're still in the 407 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.480 dark a little bit about how much time that we 408 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.279 expect Kittle to miss Andrew As it stands right now, 409 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.960 when do you think George Kittle comes back? And the 410 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.839 second part to that question, when he does come back, 411 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.400 how much of real life Capital Letter George Kittle are 412 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:14.039 we going to see or are we going to see 413 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:17.960 a guy that is still clearly hamstrung a little bit 414 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.400 by trying to recover and get into football shape with 415 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:24.319 this achilles injury, Because that's another conversation to have as well. 416 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.720 I can't imagine that George Kittle wants to fly to 417 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:30.960 Australia trying to come back from a torn achilles injury 418 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:35.000 like I'm sorry, so I'm if I had to make 419 00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.400 a bet I'm playing week one, he's not playing Week one. 420 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.599 I really don't think that that's in the cards. Given 421 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.359 the circumstances of the particular matchup that forty nine ers 422 00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:46.079 have in Week one against the Rams in Australia, that 423 00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:48.720 just seems like a hassle that you do wouldn't want 424 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.640 to deal with the player coming back. You're not in 425 00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:53.200 your own facilities, this is your first game back. That 426 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:56.200 just seems like you're asking for trouble and bad things 427 00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:59.119 to happen. So I would say if the timeline is 428 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.440 close to week one, maybe it is more like week two. 429 00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:03.240 I think it's probably gonna be more like he's on 430 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:03.799 the pup list. 431 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:06.359 He misses the first four weeks of the season, that 432 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.759 makes it obviously tougher to click him this high as 433 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:11.920 a top ten tight end. However, it's just based on 434 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:13.559 the bet the upside that well, when he comes back, 435 00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:15.519 he's gonna be an elite tight end. Basically, you're drafting, 436 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.119 I mean, in this range, you're just hoping that you 437 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:19.880 can get a guy that's gonna be an elite tight end. 438 00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:23.079 So when he's on the field and producing, yet, even 439 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:24.920 if he misses a couple of games. Well, if he's 440 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:27.640 a George Kittle of old and posts those oh so 441 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.720 juicy spike weeks, Because even healthy George Kittle, we know 442 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:32.759 how it is. He has games where he basically does 443 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.519 nothing as a receiver and is not involved whatsoever. So 444 00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:38.279 I don't think that's going away. I think coming back 445 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.640 from this injury probably just amplifies that. But when we're 446 00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:44.960 in the second half of the year, George Kittle's cooking again. 447 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:46.880 It's not like the other forty nine ers players are 448 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:49.440 all guaranteed bets to stay healthy the entire season. Between 449 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.319 Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, Christian McCaffrey coming off a billion touches, 450 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:54.799 I think you're they're gonna need George Kittle at some point, 451 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:58.640 and you're gonna want that, especially when your roster, at 452 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:00.839 least when you're drafting George Kittle, Well, the rest of 453 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.480 your roster will be healthy when he's missing games, but 454 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.920 down the stretch, you should have him while you're overcoming 455 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.000 some other injuries. So, especially in best ball, I don't 456 00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:11.400 really have too I'm not really against the price of 457 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:12.200 where he's going. 458 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:16.039 Necessarily, Yeah, Joe King chiming and not many tight ends 459 00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:19.839 have George Kittle's one week ceiling weekly volatility is subed optimal, 460 00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.599 but you care less about that volatility when you are 461 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.319 drafting him in Best Ball. To your point, So the 462 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.880 other thing too with in regards to Kittle Andrew before 463 00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:30.720 we move on from this, well, number one, you know 464 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.000 you mentioned all those injury prone guy I shouldn't say 465 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.759 Hendry prone, but guys with bad injury histories with Evans 466 00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:38.160 and McCaffrey or whatever. And then you got that substation 467 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:42.119 in Santa Claro's like that that, I mean Dejean's stribbling. 468 00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:44.920 I don't know what his college injury history is like, 469 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:46.920 but that dude might all of a sudden start having 470 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:50.920 soft tissue injuries as well. Anything's possible there regarding Kittle, 471 00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:53.720 what do you believe? So and I know you're not 472 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:56.400 a doctor, but what do you believe? Like, let's say 473 00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:58.720 he does miss the first four games this season. Let's 474 00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:01.799 say he's back active the first time in October. Do 475 00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.119 you expect Kittle to be doing the kinds of things 476 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.519 that he was doing pre Achilles tire or do you 477 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.039 think that this season is one that he kind of, 478 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.440 for lack of a better term, muddles through to try 479 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.160 to shake off that injury, grogginess in that Achilles, and 480 00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:20.839 then in twenty twenty seven we see him back to 481 00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:22.880 the peak of his powers. I'm just kind of curious 482 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:25.559 that as to what version of Kittle you think we 483 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:27.519 see when he does get back out on the field. 484 00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:31.279 It's a great question because going back to his peak 485 00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:33.640 of his powers, does that happen when you turn thirty 486 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:36.200 four years old at right end? So I think that 487 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:39.039 this might be just the beginning of the decline for 488 00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:42.680 George Kittle, where he had his late season, late career 489 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:45.160 Achilles injury, we start to see his yards after the 490 00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:47.440 catch number. So I would guess that this year we'll 491 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.680 probably see even if he has some big games here 492 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.200 and there, I think overall we'll probably see a pretty 493 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.640 substantial like, oh, like his efficiency his yards per out 494 00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:58.920 run all decreased, his yards out to the catch perception decreased. 495 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:01.440 That would be That wouldn't shock me at all, and 496 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.400 that might be, Hey, yeah, even though he's not coming 497 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:06.720 back from the Achilles injury, he's not going to end 498 00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:09.519 he won't really be that same George Kittle alpha player 499 00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:11.640 that we've called come to love and know, so I 500 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.640 don't think that that's like bad necessarily because again it's 501 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:15.759 tight end tight end. 502 00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:17.160 It's rough out there sometimes. 503 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:19.880 So George Kittle, I still think that these weekly spike games, 504 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:22.000 when he is getting a ton of volume, when he's 505 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.160 Rock Berty's favorite red zone target, Yeah, he's still gonna 506 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.480 have those smash weeks. And I think that in itself 507 00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:30.000 helps separate him from the rest of the tight end pack, 508 00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:31.839 because there are some tight ends that just can't do anything, 509 00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:32.920 like can't have big games. 510 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:35.599 It's like three or forty. Maybe they score, maybe they don't. 511 00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:38.079 So at least with Kittle, you know that he's gonna 512 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.880 have a high ceiling on a weekly basis in game 513 00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:42.759 plans where Shanahan is dialing things up. 514 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:44.480 For him more. 515 00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:46.039 Like feast or famine. So that's kind of how I 516 00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:49.160 view him long term even after this season. Still a 517 00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:52.759 very usable tight end, but not necessarily the consistent elite 518 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:54.599 guy that maybe we've seen the last couple years, where 519 00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:57.240 basically I feel like he's basically been a top five 520 00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:01.119 tight end last five or six year is basically wherever 521 00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:02.559 he's playing at least like twelve games. 522 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.519 To piggyback on something you said Adam Hahn in the 523 00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:09.079 in the chat right now, saying that the Niners got old, 524 00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:11.759 And to your point, Andrew, the other thing that Kittle 525 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.319 does have going for him is is Evans and McCaffrey 526 00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:19.200 with the higher potential to go into the trainer's room 527 00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:22.759 more this year because of their age and their injury history. 528 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:24.920 And who do you think brock perty is gonna look 529 00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.079 to if those guys aren't available, Even if one of 530 00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:30.200 them's not available, it's gonna be Kittle who benefits from 531 00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:32.759 that as well. So I think I still think people 532 00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:35.519 are drafting him a little bit too close, not to 533 00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:38.359 his ceiling, but I think there's I think I don't know, man, 534 00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:40.920 like I'm finding some of the tight ends that are 535 00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:44.160 going after Kittle right now, like I think, and I 536 00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:45.960 know he's dealing with the knee injury of his own, 537 00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:50.359 but I think Kinkaid is more exciting to me when 538 00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:56.119 you consider the drop off of a full round where Kincaid, 539 00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.599 we're not talking about puplist with that guy right now, 540 00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:01.680 likely is a guy drafting quite a bit, very excited 541 00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:04.799 about him, especially with the elite neighbors stuff that's going 542 00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:06.720 on right now. I'm very excited to see what likely 543 00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:09.960 can do. And you know, if Travis Kelce had a 544 00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:13.000 different name in twenty twenty five and we just looked 545 00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.200 at his stat line, we'd be like, why is this 546 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.160 guy going as tight end eleven? He should be going 547 00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:19.920 much higher too, So that's another player. I'd look at 548 00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:22.519 what all all the three of those guys have in common. 549 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.240 They're not coming off to horn Achilles. And certainly I 550 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:28.119 think you could make the case. And if you're telling 551 00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:31.400 yourself a story of you, you know you're trying to 552 00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.480 win a million bucks in the FFPC main event or 553 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:36.240 the big Gorilla win a million bucks like Kittle probably 554 00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:39.519 has your the best opportunity to help you do that. 555 00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:41.440 But I think the floor is a little bit lower 556 00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:44.599 there as well. Okay, we've talked about Kittle enough. We 557 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:46.920 have to move on. And I am curious here to 558 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:50.119 and I guess this is not something In regards to 559 00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:52.920 Marvin Harrison Junior. This did not resonate with me as 560 00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.880 much as it probably should have. But there was a 561 00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:01.480 piece on ESPN on Sunday morning about the Cardinals and 562 00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:05.160 Marvin Harrison saying that as of right now, Andrew he's 563 00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:08.720 still trying to get back to one hundred percent. He 564 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.559 said that whatever he's dealing with right now in his body, 565 00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:16.079 it's not going to prevent him from from from doing anything. 566 00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:19.400 He's still gonna be doing everything that that the Cardinals 567 00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:22.680 ask him to do, but he says it's an ongoing process. 568 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:26.039 Bear in mind, this guy had two different heel injuries 569 00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:29.960 last year. He had appendicitis and a concussion, missed five games. 570 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.240 I know the appendicitis and the concussion, you know, I 571 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:34.759 don't want to get into all that, but they're not 572 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:38.279 soft tissue injuries, which you know. The heel thing is. 573 00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:40.000 In the fact that he had two of them, I 574 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.720 think is more interesting here. I don't think I'm I'm 575 00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:47.759 concerned about this. In fact, Andrew, you could probably spin 576 00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.000 this in a way of, oh, this is a reason 577 00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:54.519 two draft Marvin Harrison this year. He's not hurt, right, 578 00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:56.480 I mean, he's not going to be missing any time 579 00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:59.200 as of right now. Where As he missed five games 580 00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:01.440 last year, he was doing with dealing with two separate 581 00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.680 heel injuries. I've never had appendicitis, but I'm sure that 582 00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:07.119 was not fun to deal with if you're a football player, right, 583 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:09.759 and then the concussion too, we know everything that goes 584 00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:14.799 into that with Harrison. Dude, this is a player again 585 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.559 that has gone down. His ADP has gone down every 586 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:20.559 single year he's been in the league. I remember when 587 00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:23.279 he was a rookie and in FFPC drafts he was 588 00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.680 a solid second round pick as a rookie, and now 589 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.880 he has fallen to the six oh seven behind Carnel Tait. 590 00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.440 Speaking of rookies, Jamison Williams, Roman Dune say they're all 591 00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:36.359 going in front of him. Harrison is wide receiver thirty one. 592 00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:39.839 Right now, you read this injury report about Harrison, does 593 00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:42.480 this make you feel better about Harrison maybe having a 594 00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:45.200 bounce back year? And I think we also should talk 595 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.200 about the kind of the quarterback situation that could happen 596 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:51.279 with Carson Beck taking over potentially later on in the 597 00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:54.200 season during the money weeks as well. There's certainly a 598 00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:56.720 lot to unpack about Marvin Harrison this season. 599 00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.400 I think the injuries played a big role in why 600 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.200 he had a lack of production last year, just in 601 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:05.240 the aggregate, because he didn't really get the chance to 602 00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:08.400 feast in these Jakoby Brissett fifty to sixty drop back 603 00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:10.519 games because he missed a lot of those games. So 604 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:13.160 I do think that there's in the back of my 605 00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:16.440 mind thinking about Marvin Heerson Junior and what if he 606 00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:19.559 had played in a couple of those games, how much 607 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.400 more expensive he would be in drafts after he posted 608 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:24.839 a Michael Wilson s type of stat line, because when 609 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:27.200 Michael Wilson and Marvin Heerson Junior were on the field 610 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:29.079 at the same time, there was no contest who was 611 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:31.759 getting the ball. It wasn't Michael Wilson. Like Michael Wilson's 612 00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:34.400 target rate perute run just freaking gotten newked. He basically 613 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:36.720 did nothing and you couldn't start him in fantasy. And 614 00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:39.079 then when Marvin Hereerson Junior missed time, Michael Wilson was 615 00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:40.160 a lock froowded top. 616 00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:41.160 Twenty Fantasy wide receiver. 617 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:45.319 So I think that's telling that Harrison Junior was able 618 00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:47.559 to command such a high percentage of targets in the 619 00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:49.519 offense when he was on the field, even with Tree 620 00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:51.599 McBride still healthy in the lineup, and. 621 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:52.319 Through two years. 622 00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.720 Yeah, the production hasn't been there that we've expected. Obviously 623 00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:59.480 hasn't met up to expectations, but generally speaking, he still 624 00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:02.440 commanded a high percentage of air yards, pretty good target share, 625 00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:04.960 a lot of red zone, end zone targets. So he's 626 00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:07.000 kind of checking off the peripherals of what we're looking 627 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:10.079 for in a fantasy wide receiver that can maybe take 628 00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:12.880 a leap. Year three breakouts still happen, right, It's not hey, 629 00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:15.200 you have to hit rookie year. So he's entering year three, 630 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.119 maybe he's gonna be fully healthy. I think he was 631 00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:20.839 turning the current or turning the corner at the second 632 00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:22.599 half of last year, but then he got hurt again. 633 00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:25.119 So I do think that I'm open to Marvin Harris 634 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:28.119 Junior bouncing back. I have him inside my top thirty again, 635 00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:30.000 only a little bit higher than the ADP at wide 636 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.880 receiver twenty eight because I acknowledge the quarterback, right, how 637 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:36.839 high is the ceiling when Jacoby Brissett or Carson Beck 638 00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:39.079 or Gardner Minshews your quarterback and you are not the 639 00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:42.119 number one target on your team. That's trade McBride and 640 00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:45.839 Michael Wilson. Will he be a thing? I personally, I 641 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.440 mean I am lower on Michael Wilson. Then consensus as well, 642 00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:50.559 I would rather take Marvin Harris Junior at his ADP 643 00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:53.720 versus Michael Wilson and his ADP. But I can acknowledge 644 00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:57.480 that this Cardinal's offense just sucks. That they all are 645 00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:59.720 going to be bad picks like that includes Trey McBride, 646 00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:02.640 who's one of the most expensive tight ends in this format, 647 00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:04.279 where I get really scared because I think he had 648 00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.039 the perfect runout last year where they were throwing all 649 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:09.240 the ball so many times per game. When you draft 650 00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:12.000 a running back third overall, that's a telltale sign to 651 00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:13.480 me that, yeah, they're probably gonna try to run the 652 00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:15.880 ball a little bit more than last year when last 653 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.160 year they were down to their fourth string running back, 654 00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:20.079 So of course you're gonna you're gonna chuck the ball. 655 00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.680 You're like, we're gonna head it to Bam Night thirty 656 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.160 times a game Like No, but Jeremiah love Hey, they might. 657 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:26.519 Try to do that. 658 00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:29.039 Twenty twenty five carries for a guy that was drafted 659 00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:32.119 third overall. So that's kind of my outlook on the Cardinals. 660 00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:35.160 Marvin ER's nears the guy I like the most. But again, 661 00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:38.599 if I draft team don't have any Cardinals, I'm not 662 00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:39.880 really sweating it, to be honest. 663 00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:43.559 No and h and Joe King brings us up on 664 00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:46.039 the the YouTube chat right now. Jeremiah Love is gonna 665 00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:49.599 get roughly eighty targets eating from wide receivers. That's another thing. 666 00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:53.160 And this is this perfect storm of the Cardinals offense 667 00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:55.920 that we saw last year, with them getting down so 668 00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:59.200 early and seemingly every single game, not having a defense 669 00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:02.799 that could be competitive to keep them out of shootoutsu 670 00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:06.880 Brissette throwing the ball all over the field, setting records 671 00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:10.119 for most passes in a game, and and and everything 672 00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:13.440 like that, and and and as you mentioned it, you know, 673 00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:16.319 the top four running backs in Arizona's depth chart being 674 00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:18.880 heard at any given time. I mean that this is 675 00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.400 all exactly what you need to produce the historic season 676 00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:24.920 that we saw from the Arizona passing game last year. 677 00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.319 Love comes in now, too, and that's another player that 678 00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:29.160 they're going to try to get the ball to. And 679 00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.680 so to echo your point, I am not only am 680 00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:37.079 I not targeting any Cardinals this year. I might be 681 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:39.559 fading all of them, and that might include Jeremiah Love. 682 00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:42.640 Given his given his where he's going in drafts right now, 683 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:45.000 I guess he has slipped a little bit. He's now 684 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:47.960 running back twelve. He's going at the two ten, right 685 00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:51.480 between Kenneth Walker and Derrick Henry. But that's still that's 686 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:54.400 still a difficult ask for me to get a running 687 00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:56.440 back on a team that is going to have a 688 00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:58.839 lot of negative game scripts this season, that is not 689 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:00.960 probably going to be a good offense, and that could 690 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:03.759 be featuring Carson Beck when all the cash is being 691 00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:05.279 given away at the end of the season. 692 00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:05.960 I don't know. 693 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.200 I'm with you when I lay my head down at night, 694 00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:12.480 and I don't have any Cardinals on my last draft team. 695 00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:16.559 I'm okay, I'm sleeping East Harrison was part of that 696 00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:20.480 really good receiving class that came into the league a 697 00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.359 few years ago. Another member of that that I thought 698 00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:27.079 was really going to take a step forward last year 699 00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.119 and didn't was Brian Thomas Junior. Everything that could go 700 00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:33.920 wrong seemingly did go wrong for BTJ last year. And 701 00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:38.200 then we see this report from Action Sports Jacksonville on Sunday. 702 00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:41.720 Brian Thomas is quoted as saying it doesn't hurt to 703 00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:46.160 run anymore. End quote. I don't I didn't know this 704 00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:48.640 was a thing last year to Andrew, but he said 705 00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:51.160 that he had a lot of things, a little things 706 00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:54.079 that he cleaned up this offseason. A lot of clean 707 00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:56.720 up procedures over the last couple of months. Seems like 708 00:32:56.759 --> 00:33:00.559 he was trying to play through pain. Certainly, I have 709 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.359 heard that you know, when your body is not responding 710 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:07.119 the way you wanted to, it can affect the way 711 00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:09.880 you play. Maybe that contributed to some of those alligator 712 00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:12.079 arms we saw from him, especially early on in the 713 00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.240 season last year. But now, what are we saving? John 714 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:18.880 Shipley from Sports Illustrated. Seemingly there's a positive report from 715 00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:22.079 him every single day about Brian Thomas either making a 716 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.920 play over the middle or more importantly, deep down the field. 717 00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:29.160 So this really seems like Brian Thomas Junior could have 718 00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:32.079 at the bounce back season that a lot of people 719 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:35.119 are hoping he will, and quite frankly, the price on 720 00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:38.079 him is right, for lack of a better term here, 721 00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:41.480 Brian Thomas right now in FFPC Big Gorilla Drafts is 722 00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:44.279 going as wide receiver thirty five at the seven h six, 723 00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:47.680 which is now He's about a half round behind Parker 724 00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:50.319 Washington about this time last week, Andrew, those guys are 725 00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:53.160 about neck and neck, but Washington surged ahead. I don't 726 00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:55.079 know if that's gonna last though, with all this positive 727 00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:57.160 stuff coming out of Thomas. Certainly, you don't want to 728 00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:59.480 be hyperbolic this time of year because it is you know, 729 00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:03.440 helmet and shorts and not much house shoulder pads or whatever, 730 00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:06.039 and there's not much going on there when it comes 731 00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.880 to that. It's not quote unquote real football. But you'd 732 00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:12.039 love to see these reports coming out about Thomas rather 733 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:14.119 than not seeing him at all. How do you feel 734 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:17.360 about Thomas's chances at a bounce back season, Maybe not 735 00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:19.480 to get to the twenty twenty four level that he 736 00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.480 was at, but definitely better than what we saw last campaign. 737 00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:26.039 I think that he can definitely beat his ADP you know, 738 00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:29.599 wide receiver or enter into the wide receiver three conversation. 739 00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:34.639 But that being said, I just have reservations about the 740 00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:35.920 connection with Trevor Lawrence. 741 00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:36.559 Right. 742 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:38.719 I understand that he feels healthier and he feels like 743 00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:40.639 he should get the ball more, But does Trevor Lawrence 744 00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:44.599 feel that way? And when Brian Thomas Junior had his 745 00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:48.360 massive breakout rookie year, who was his quarterback wasn't Tervor Lawrence. 746 00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:48.760 Is Mac Jones. 747 00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:51.320 So that's something that's kind of holding me up from 748 00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:53.360 just totally because I was in and Brian Thomas Junior 749 00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:55.360 as a rookie, I remember betting him to lead all 750 00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:57.920 rookies and receiving yards and he barely got there. But 751 00:34:57.960 --> 00:34:59.800 he saw I end up edging out in the league 752 00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:02.360 name and Brock Bowers by his chinny chinchin, even though 753 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.880 he had like thirty less catches than both of those guys. 754 00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:06.639 Because he was generating a lot of big plays. 755 00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:08.320 And I was in on him last year and obviously 756 00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:12.239 was an utter and complete disaster. But the thing with 757 00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:14.599 the Jaguars offense is a lot of moles defeat here. 758 00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:17.000 You know, Porker Washington has a high I think that 759 00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:19.480 Jacobe Myers is just the most underrated wide receiver in 760 00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:21.079 the NFL because all he does is go for like 761 00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:22.920 a thousand yards every single year and catch everything that's 762 00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:25.599 thrown his way and is a quarterback's best friend. They 763 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:27.760 have used a lot of tight ends in Jacksonville. They 764 00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.320 throw to the running backs in Jacksonville. And they also 765 00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:32.599 have a guy that plays defense and also plays wide 766 00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:35.320 receiver in Travis Hunter, who is expected to play full 767 00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:38.000 time on wide receiver and a defensive back this year. 768 00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:40.599 So how does he kind of enter into the fold here? 769 00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:43.800 So I think with Brian Thomas Junior, you just question, yeah, okay, 770 00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:45.920 can he be the number one receiver on the Jaguars? Yeah, 771 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:47.199 but what does that mean? 772 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:48.320 Like? What is that trains? 773 00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:48.440 Like? 774 00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:50.800 Is that a oh he's locked alow top twenty four guy? 775 00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.000 Is he touchdown dependent? Is he really boom or bust? 776 00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:55.039 I think that he's kind of like all of those things. 777 00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:57.360 And even getting back to his days at LSU, it 778 00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:00.000 wasn't the outph at LSU like it was Milik Neighbors. 779 00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:02.800 Now again, when you're compete with the Lake Neighbors, that's 780 00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:05.599 not easy. But it just goes to show maybe Brian 781 00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:08.320 Thomas Junior really never is meant to be an alpha 782 00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:11.199 wide receiver. And although the planets aligned for him at 783 00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:14.000 the end of his rookie year with that monster season, 784 00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:17.159 this offense is looking a lot different than it was 785 00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:20.119 back then. There's a lot of new pieces and that's 786 00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:22.719 what concerns me. I think that what's interesting about the 787 00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:25.760 Jaguars the last two off seasons or last two draft seasons, 788 00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:28.639 the number one wide receiver drafted for the Jaguars in 789 00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:30.719 fantasy has not been the number one guy at the 790 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:32.960 end of the year two years ago. Is Christian Kirk 791 00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:36.199 not the guy. Last year was Brian tom Junior not 792 00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:36.639 the guy. 793 00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:37.880 So I kind of feel like. 794 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:41.199 However ADP has it set up is almost neverly going 795 00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:43.599 to be wrong. So it's like, so it's like, whoever 796 00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:46.599 the most expensive guy is, probably don't draft that guy. 797 00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:49.360 Draft everybody else, and you'll probably be better off in 798 00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:52.239 terms of your ROI. And that's not because I'm looking 799 00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:56.440 just because it's so such an ambiguous situation that anyone 800 00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:59.800 that's doing projections for the Jaguars wide receivers, it's tough 801 00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:00.679 man because it's like, what. 802 00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:02.719 Are you looking at? Like, are like what's Travis Hu? 803 00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:02.920 Like? 804 00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:05.320 Travis Hunter is such an X factor in this receiver 805 00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:08.559 room too, what happens if there's an injury? So that's 806 00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:11.320 kind of like my take on again, I feel I 807 00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:15.000 don't feel great about fading the Jaguars pieces because I 808 00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.320 do like this offensive lot, especially with Trevor Lawrence, but 809 00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:19.920 the step he looked after the first five weeks in 810 00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.440 Cohen's offense, So this isn't like that Cardinals where I 811 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:24.800 feel like I can just fully fade, But I feel 812 00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:26.000 like you got to take some shots here and there 813 00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:28.039 on some of these Jaguars receivers and Brian Thomas Junior. 814 00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:30.719 I don't want to just forget what he did as 815 00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:33.400 a rookie because it was so fantastic, But as of 816 00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:35.039 right now, he's not someone that I'm trying to go 817 00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:37.360 out of a way targeting just because I don't know 818 00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:40.079 if he has it that built in chemistry with Trevor 819 00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:42.239 Lawrence like we've seen, I mean Trevor Lawrence. How long 820 00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:45.000 did it take fromim to bill chemisry with Kobe Myers 821 00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:48.000 like one game the Trader Ferm, whereas it always seemed 822 00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:50.440 like he was butting heads with Brian Thomas Junior. So yeah, 823 00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:51.719 they can hit out a couple of big plays. He'll 824 00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:54.960 hit your best ball lineup as a result, but I'm 825 00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:57.360 not sure he's going to be dominating targets in this offense. 826 00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:01.800 Thomas is now going more than two full rounds ahead 827 00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:06.079 of one Jacoby Myers in Jacksonville in the FFPC Big Gorilla. 828 00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:08.320 I think back to last week when we had Chris 829 00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:10.639 Weck from Fantasy Points on it. He kind of said 830 00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:12.880 a lot of what you're saying too, where he's not 831 00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:16.559 necessarily targeting any of these Jaguars, but he says he 832 00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:19.320 always likes to leave each one of his drafts with 833 00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:23.920 one piece of this Jaguars passing game. Whether that's Myers 834 00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:26.760 or Thomas or Washington or Strange. He's always trying to 835 00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:28.559 make sure he gets a piece of it. And I 836 00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:30.239 think that's a smart way to do it, you know. 837 00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:35.039 And you know, not loading up, especially with how nebulous 838 00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:38.599 this situation is for the pass catchers, but making sure 839 00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:43.000 you're acquiring pieces it could end up paying off down 840 00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:44.880 the stretch in the long run. Here, I want to 841 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:48.440 keep the conversation on the Jacksonville Jaguars here and we 842 00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:52.119 go to the backfield here, and I know that Andrew 843 00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:55.480 you have some thoughts on this, so I'll just kind 844 00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:57.840 of let you go. But Jacksonville dot Com had a 845 00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:01.440 report on Monday from Ryan o'haller and that Chris Rodriguez 846 00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:05.400 is expected to be a full go by training camp. 847 00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:09.360 Earlier this offseason, he had surgery on his left foot, 848 00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:12.840 did not participate in OTAs because he's still recovering from that. 849 00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:16.440 Sounds like he will not be participating in mini camp 850 00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:18.800 as well, but training camp could be a different story. 851 00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:24.480 Rodriguez and base shall tuton, you know, there's truthers on 852 00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:27.719 both sides of these guys right now as we head 853 00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:30.280 into the twenty twenty six season, during the twenty twenty 854 00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:35.400 six drafting season, right now, you have definitely planned your 855 00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:39.000 flag on one of these guys. I love to hear 856 00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:41.800 you tell the viewers why you have done it and 857 00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:45.239 why you expect to be on the correct side of 858 00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:46.800 this call right now this year. 859 00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:49.559 I'm on the base all Tuton side of things here. 860 00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:52.480 I think that he's going in appropriate range in drafts 861 00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:55.119 where he's being drafted as a late end RB two, 862 00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:57.280 but I think he has top fifteen, maybe even back 863 00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.000 into RB one upside because I think ultimately with push cups, 864 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:03.719 he's the much more talented running back than Chris Rodriguez. 865 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:06.360 Chris Rodriguez can only do one thing, really really well. 866 00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:08.599 In my opinion, it's pick up a couple of yards 867 00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:11.920 in between the tackles. He's not explosive, he doesn't use 868 00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:15.039 he complete zero in the passing game. And I think 869 00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:19.199 that Bachell two and what he showed last year when 870 00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.320 the team took Travis Etn off the field to put 871 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:25.480 Bachelle two in red zone packages, I'm not worried about 872 00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:29.039 Chris Rodriguez as a red zone threat to Bachell two. 873 00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:30.760 I really think that he's going to be the guy. 874 00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:32.639 And the thing that I always think back, you know, 875 00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:34.639 scouting Bachell two, and he was one of the players 876 00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.280 that I got to meet at the NFL Draft when 877 00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:38.320 they were doing the podiums. 878 00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:39.280 It was really cool. 879 00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:40.920 Not a lot of people at his podium, but he 880 00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:42.760 was something that I had done some research on beforehand, 881 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:44.840 so I knew, like, hey, this guy's like pretty exciting 882 00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:46.960 and just a great guy to talk to and not 883 00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:48.800 trying to be like, oh, this is my guy. But 884 00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:51.159 I had a lot of confidence in Bachell two. And 885 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.199 what he did at the college level was rip off 886 00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:55.760 explosive plays. He had almost a fifty percent breakaway run 887 00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:59.039 rate during his college career. Last season, that breakaway run 888 00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:01.360 rate was at ten percent. It was bottom five in 889 00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:03.880 the NFL. And I think that has to do with 890 00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:07.840 not that he's not explosive, because he is. He has speed. 891 00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:10.079 We know that we saw him around forty yard dash 892 00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:11.039 in blazing time. 893 00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:12.599 He has the juice. 894 00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:16.199 But I think last year he was a Day three 895 00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:19.760 running back, rookie running back who entered the NFL with 896 00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:22.800 some ball security issues, so maybe thinking a lot more 897 00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:26.000 than playing fast. I think entering year two another year 898 00:41:26.039 --> 00:41:28.039 in Liam Cohen's offense, where everybody feels a little bit 899 00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:31.039 more comfortable in the offensive environment, including the quarterback. I 900 00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:33.159 think you're gonna see the juice of Tooton this year. 901 00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:35.920 You're gonna see his expulsiveness out in front. I think 902 00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:37.599 the coaches are gonna see that, and especially compared to 903 00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:40.440 Chris Rodriguez, who look call spade of space. He's a 904 00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:43.199 plotter running back, like he's not an exciting running back. 905 00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:45.719 And yes it's coaches love when you can pick up 906 00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:49.000 three yards when you need exactly three yards. But Tuton 907 00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:51.039 did that last year too. He had the same high 908 00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:53.400 success rates Chris Rodriguez. He had the same yards after 909 00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:56.280 contact for attempt at christ Rodriguez. So I just think 910 00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:59.199 that Bashelle Tutin can do everything Chris Rodriguez can do, 911 00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:03.159 and more so, why waste your time with Chris Rodriguez 912 00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:05.320 in the first place. I do think that the first 913 00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:07.199 couple weeks of the year, it's gonna be annoying, like 914 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:09.280 we're gonna get Chris Rodriguez. Maybe he's gonna start the 915 00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:11.880 game and everyone is gonna freak out about Bachell tuned. 916 00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:14.639 So even if you don't draft him, obviously you have 917 00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:16.719 to draft them best ball drafts because you won't have 918 00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:19.599 access to the waiver wire. But in re draft leagues, 919 00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:21.400 I can guarantee he's gonna be one of my favorite 920 00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:23.639 guys to trade for after Week one if I don't 921 00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:26.039 already have him on my roster, because I think that 922 00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:28.639 we've seen this kind of play out before, and and 923 00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:30.639 Pat Krane mentioned this, I think on his podcast a 924 00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:32.880 couple of weeks ago. But how is this not different 925 00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:36.000 from the Zach Moss and Chase Brown scenario, where like, 926 00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:39.519 you clearly have a guy with so much juice that okay, yeah, 927 00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:41.960 they're gonna be annoying, Zach Moss is the veteran whatever. 928 00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:44.880 And then I know that Zach Moss ended up getting 929 00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:47.800 injured that season. But Chris Rodriguez is already recovering from 930 00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:50.000 an injury. He's also dealt with injuries a lot as 931 00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:52.280 a part time player. He's a twenty six year old 932 00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:55.199 journeyman running back who wouldn't have bean sniffed the field 933 00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.960 last year if Brian Robinson again, another pretty jag running 934 00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:01.719 back hadn't got. But he's spending time with Jeremy, with 935 00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:05.559 Nichols and Jacorey krossky Merritt, who is a seventh round rookie, 936 00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:08.039 and he didn't even like assert himself to be the 937 00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:11.360 dominant running back in that backfield. So I just don't 938 00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:15.320 think that he has any staying power as a threat 939 00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:17.519 in this offense. I think that Liam Coen brought him 940 00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:19.159 in because he's familiar with him, and he's like, hey, 941 00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:21.320 I need three yards. I can getree arts with Chris Rodriguez. 942 00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:25.079 But if Bachell Tutin really captures what he can be 943 00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:28.159 upside of what he's actually capable of doing, I think 944 00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.239 that they're going to realize, oh yeah, we could just 945 00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:32.719 use Twoton on everything instead, and like we don't need 946 00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:35.679 to waste our time using Chris Rodriguez. So definitely not 947 00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:38.719 drafting Chris Rodriguez, definitely drafting Bachell two, and especially with 948 00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:40.920 I think his price is fine where it is. 949 00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:43.480 He's not like super super expensive. I actually am not. 950 00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:47.280 Surprised he's not more expensive than he is. So I 951 00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:49.599 think that you hear shooting for upside in this RB 952 00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:51.679 two range. I think that Tutin looks like that guy 953 00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:52.719 for me, Tooting. 954 00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:55.480 I'm just looking it up right now running back twenty 955 00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:58.800 six at the five to ten, which is after swift 956 00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:03.880 engineering Price, it's before Hubbard and Jalen Warren. Adam Han 957 00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:06.719 brings us up to if Rodriguez was was any good, 958 00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:10.599 he'd still be watching. But there's like whose backfield is 959 00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:15.480 not good? Right? Like essentially Rodriguez left a very uncertain 960 00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:18.440 backfield in Washington or they let him go and now 961 00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:21.559 he's in Jacksonville. The the last point I want to 962 00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:24.039 make about Touton and just let you wan this. Does 963 00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:28.679 does laquin Allen figure into stealing pass catches or targets 964 00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:31.920 in that backfield at all where that would maybe be 965 00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:35.000 a ding against Teuton? Or do you think that's not 966 00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:37.599 gonna be a thing this year Laquinn Allen. 967 00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:41.280 I do think it's possible that quiloquent Allen is more 968 00:44:41.320 --> 00:44:43.400 involved in the pass catching games. So I think that 969 00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:46.440 would hurt baseeall Tuton from you know, turning out a 970 00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:49.960 top ten type of season. I think for me, when 971 00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:52.880 I try to compare it to what's Bajaell Tuton's upside, 972 00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:55.920 I think it's probably Bucky Irving rookie year under Leam Cohen. 973 00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:58.280 Because you remember in that offense, you had three guys, 974 00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:02.679 you had Buckier being Sean Tucker and Rashad White. And 975 00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:06.280 then if let's say they use they do similar things 976 00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:10.360 in this Jacksonville Jaguars backfield where Tooton plays the Irving role, 977 00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:14.400 Rashad or what Quinn Allen is in the Rashad White role, 978 00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:16.960 and then you have Chris Ardriguez in the Shan Tucker role. 979 00:45:17.239 --> 00:45:19.480 So even with all that scenario playing out, buck you 980 00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:21.559 Irving was still a back end fantasy RB one and 981 00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:23.960 still had a over a thousand yards from scrimmage, was 982 00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:27.000 really productive. Again, wasn't the primary pass catcher, but still 983 00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:29.639 caught enough passes where he was in a total zero. 984 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:31.400 Which Christopher, you can take catcha passes. 985 00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:33.840 He's never caught passes any And I know that these 986 00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:36.760 guys say, yeah, like they just didn't use me in 987 00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:38.679 the passing game. It's like, yeah, because you're probably not 988 00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:40.599 effective and they're not gonna throw me the. 989 00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:42.400 Ball if just gonna fall down and not pick up yards. 990 00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:45.760 So I think that that's probably the thing that would 991 00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:49.440 slow down or limit his like true true ceiling. But 992 00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:51.960 again with Quinn Allen. It's not like he's a super 993 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:53.840 talented player. I know that they like him in past 994 00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:56.679 the protection, but I think that he play. I mean, 995 00:45:56.880 --> 00:45:58.760 when you're in the twentieth round of some of these drafts, 996 00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:01.800 like Quinn Allen is kind of someone that I'm a 997 00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:04.559 little interested into, Like, all right, is this role real 998 00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:06.519 as a receiver out of the backfield, Like it's an 999 00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:09.119 offense we're excited about. He's really really cheap, So I 1000 00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:11.159 don't think that he's like so like, I mean, he's 1001 00:46:11.159 --> 00:46:13.079 someone that I was considered round twenty. 1002 00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:14.480 So there you go. 1003 00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:20.719 The conversation moves from Jacksonville to Seattle. Here for us 1004 00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:24.920 next to Andrew the reporter or one of the team 1005 00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:29.199 reporters for the website for the Seahawks, John Boyle wrote 1006 00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:32.880 that the Seahawks are expecting more from Rashid Shaheed when 1007 00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:35.360 it comes to what he's going to do offensively, not 1008 00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:39.400 necessarily special teams. And what I think is interesting about 1009 00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:42.079 Shaheed and I was one of these people when he 1010 00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:45.119 got traded mid season from New Orleans to Seattle. I 1011 00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:49.719 expected him to take a significant leap forward fantasy wise. 1012 00:46:50.599 --> 00:46:52.760 I was of the opinion that what Smith and Jigba 1013 00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:55.920 had done up until that point was not sustainable over 1014 00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:58.239 the course of the season. I really didn't think we 1015 00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:00.199 were going to see Cooper cupp all of a sudd 1016 00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:05.239 resurge at the end of the season, and Tory Horton 1017 00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:07.719 was dealing with an injury too, So I just thought, 1018 00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:10.480 this is the perfect scenario for Shaheed to come in, 1019 00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:13.519 make some noise and be fantasy worthy, perhaps even as 1020 00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:16.119 high as a top thirty receiver. The rest of the way, 1021 00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:19.599 it did not happen. From Week ten on he only 1022 00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:23.440 catches eighteen passes, fails to notch two hundred and seventy yards, 1023 00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:26.920 no touchdowns. That's from Week ten through the playoffs, all 1024 00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:29.880 the way through the Super Bowl as well, and then 1025 00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:33.440 Seattle goes out. They extend them three years fifty one million, 1026 00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:37.760 and certainly this would make sense that Cooper cup would 1027 00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:39.320 start to take a back seat to some of these 1028 00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:43.519 younger guys like Shaheed and Horton this year. But you know, 1029 00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:47.599 I think for me, seeing what I saw last year 1030 00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:49.760 from Shaheed, or perhaps the better way to say it, 1031 00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:52.239 the lack of what I saw from him last year, 1032 00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:55.800 definitely gives me pause before I draft a player like 1033 00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:59.599 this that I think is a hashtag betteran best ball guy. 1034 00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:01.599 I don't know if I want to draft this guy 1035 00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:04.639 in a managed league because I don't know when the 1036 00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:07.960 big players are coming. And quite frankly, after the stars 1037 00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:11.559 seemingly aligned for Shaheed last year and he turned that 1038 00:48:11.639 --> 00:48:15.199 into eighteen catches over ten weeks or eleven weeks or 1039 00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:18.599 whatever it was, I'm not getting the warm fuzzies despite 1040 00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:22.599 what John Boyle is reporting here, and despite the contract 1041 00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:25.400 extension he got. Perhaps I'm wrong and you feel differently 1042 00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:25.800 about this. 1043 00:48:26.440 --> 00:48:28.840 No, he's definitely a hard player to kind of feel 1044 00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:31.599 good about. I think that we feel good about his 1045 00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:34.679 talent as a player. I think that Shaheed has shown 1046 00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:38.000 that there were times when he was competing with targets 1047 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:40.360 with Chris Lave where their production wasn't too far off 1048 00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:42.280 from each other when both guys were on the field, 1049 00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:44.760 And to your point, at the beginning of last year 1050 00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:47.960 in the Saints offense that was all about target volume, 1051 00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:52.000 Shahee was putting up some pretty solid stats in this 1052 00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:55.360 in the Kellen Moore offense. Do you think that Okay 1053 00:48:55.719 --> 00:48:58.199 dropping in with Kubiak, someone that he's familiar with, they 1054 00:48:58.199 --> 00:49:00.519 can get him fully integrated, But I think he just 1055 00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:03.079 got kind of caught behind the eight ball and everything 1056 00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:06.159 was working so well with the Seahawks were doing. Anyway, 1057 00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:08.119 he did flash a little bit down the stretch in 1058 00:49:08.199 --> 00:49:10.119 the playoffs with a couple of big plays, and ultimately 1059 00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:12.079 the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. So I know, she 1060 00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:14.280 Heat doesn't seem like he was like the biggest factor 1061 00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:16.159 that but hey, like he makes one big play in 1062 00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:18.159 a playoff game, Hey we'll take it. 1063 00:49:18.360 --> 00:49:20.599 Like we don't care what we had to trade away. 1064 00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:21.880 To get him. We won the Super Bowl. That's all 1065 00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:24.159 really that matters. And then they paid him this offseason. 1066 00:49:24.199 --> 00:49:26.119 It wasn't a guarantee he would come back to the Seahawks, 1067 00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:28.360 especially with Kubiak going to the Raiders. You know they 1068 00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:31.079 could use another wide receiver. So I was surprised that 1069 00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:32.800 they didn't try to make a bid for Rashiji Heat, 1070 00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:34.519 or maybe they just got priced out. But you look 1071 00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:38.199 at the way the Seahawks are structured now Kubiak is gone. 1072 00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:39.880 They have a new office Cornier coming in from the 1073 00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:43.000 forty nine ers. They're paying a lot to wide receivers. 1074 00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:47.320 Jaysen also signed a big extension contract this offseason. They 1075 00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:50.159 signed Rashiji Heat. They made sure that Jake Bobo did 1076 00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:52.159 not leave the building. I know the Jaguars like put 1077 00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:54.320 in a tender. I also like that'll kind of caught 1078 00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:57.280 my eye as like, are we gonna get more passes 1079 00:49:57.599 --> 00:49:59.199 in this offense? Are we gonna put a little bit 1080 00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:02.320 more on our quarterback Sam Donald versus well, we lost 1081 00:50:02.320 --> 00:50:06.280 Walker Charbonay is injured. We did draft Daring Price we 1082 00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:08.199 were excited about, but he's still a rookie. Are we 1083 00:50:08.199 --> 00:50:09.960 gonna put everything on our rookie? Are we gonna put 1084 00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:12.960 on our super Bowl winning quarterback? I think I kind 1085 00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:16.320 of leaned towards the ladder. So I think that Shaheed, 1086 00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:18.559 because he's really talented. I think that best ball is 1087 00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:20.559 still a really good format for him. He can make 1088 00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:23.159 plays even on low volume. And Sam Donald has a 1089 00:50:23.159 --> 00:50:23.920 pretty nice deep ball. 1090 00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:25.800 We've seen him work with some of these receivers in 1091 00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:26.199 the past. 1092 00:50:26.239 --> 00:50:28.320 So I'm a little bit more optimistic that he kind 1093 00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:31.440 of turned things around with a full offseason install into 1094 00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:33.559 this new offense, because again, the offense is gonna have 1095 00:50:33.559 --> 00:50:35.440 new wrinkles to it, So I don't think he will 1096 00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:37.400 initially be behind the eight ball as much as he 1097 00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:39.679 was kind of going on the fly last year, even 1098 00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:41.960 though it was Kubiak, So I think it's just kind 1099 00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:44.679 of it was just a little strange, like how uninvolved 1100 00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:46.960 he was last year. But I think maybe it's because 1101 00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:49.039 the Seahawks were just like running the ball and playing 1102 00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:51.880 great defense and Sam Donald was just cooking with Jasen. 1103 00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:54.960 It's like, let's not change this up, Like we're like 1104 00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:57.719 we're dominating games, like we don't need Like Shaheed was gravy, 1105 00:50:57.760 --> 00:50:59.119 we didn't have to use it last year till the 1106 00:50:59.199 --> 00:51:01.519 very end. So I think this year, maybe they do 1107 00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:03.400 need it a little bit more if the run game 1108 00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:06.239 isn't as good as effective because of the you know, 1109 00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:07.159 the change of running back. 1110 00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:09.840 That's a great point. They never had the fear put 1111 00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:12.559 in him that they needed to change anything up down 1112 00:51:12.639 --> 00:51:15.239 the stretch last season. If you keep winning and you're 1113 00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:18.599 keeping you know, keeping on dominating teams via your you know, 1114 00:51:18.679 --> 00:51:22.400 your dual running back scenario that you have in that backfield, 1115 00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:25.400 the dominant defense that you had, you know, why do 1116 00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:28.199 you feel compelled to switch anything to try to get 1117 00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:31.440 Shaheed more involved? To your point, this year, different team, 1118 00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:35.320 different season, maybe a different approach for Rashid Shaheed and 1119 00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:38.880 the Seattle Seahawks. They are on offense. We go to 1120 00:51:39.159 --> 00:51:46.199 New Orleans. Now the big easy. Sarah pel Cheski, Pelchus, Pelchowski, Pelchowski. 1121 00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:50.360 I don't know. I had a report earlier this week, Andrew, 1122 00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:54.000 that Kellen Moore says he's excited to get Alvin Kamara 1123 00:51:54.079 --> 00:51:56.920 quote in the fold. Now. He did not go as 1124 00:51:57.000 --> 00:51:59.239 far to say that Kamara is going to be on 1125 00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:03.239 the team this year, but he is preparing as if 1126 00:52:03.320 --> 00:52:06.719 Kamara will be in the backfield for New Orleans this year. 1127 00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:09.000 I think at this point of his career, excuse me, 1128 00:52:09.840 --> 00:52:12.920 he's probably closer to Devin Neil, Kendra Miller than he 1129 00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:16.280 is Travis Etchien. But Kellen Moore might see it differently. 1130 00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:19.559 This is not an Alvin Kamara question for you, Andrew, 1131 00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:24.519 but for those people, myself included, who assume that Travis 1132 00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:27.320 at Chien was going to be this three down back 1133 00:52:27.840 --> 00:52:30.559 for New Orleans this year. How much of a monkey 1134 00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:33.760 wrench is Kamara throwing into these plans? And do you 1135 00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:36.679 believe that he's going to still be on the team 1136 00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:38.239 come week one of the season. 1137 00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:41.639 Man, this is such a loaded situation. 1138 00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:43.840 I just I just hate his entire situation because I 1139 00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:45.599 wish they would just be honest with us about Alvin 1140 00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:48.159 Kamara and hey, like he's not gonna be on the team, 1141 00:52:48.199 --> 00:52:49.559 like we're not. And I get they're trying to I 1142 00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:51.719 think they're trying to respect the player because he is 1143 00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:54.599 a Saints lifer. You know, one of the best Saints 1144 00:52:54.920 --> 00:52:57.079 probably ever, especially at the running back position, one of 1145 00:52:57.119 --> 00:52:59.559 the best fantasy football players ever. Who could forget that 1146 00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:03.119 game Onchristmas were he scored? Like yeah, like that that's 1147 00:53:03.159 --> 00:53:05.840 like just something that you always remember, especially someone that 1148 00:53:05.960 --> 00:53:09.400 is so into people that are watching you me about 1149 00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:12.440 that love fantasy football. Everybody remembers that game and it's 1150 00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:15.880 like Alvin Kamara. That being said, that's in the past. 1151 00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:17.719 We're talking about twenty twenty six, and I think that 1152 00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:20.679 Alvin Kamara is more like end of career Dalvin Cook 1153 00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:23.159 Austin ec Like, I just think that this is like 1154 00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:25.480 the be this is the end. Like his rushing efficiency 1155 00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:27.159 has been terrible over the last couple of years. The 1156 00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:28.880 Saints were one of the worst teams in terms of 1157 00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:31.199 rushing EPA last year, and that lot was cause of 1158 00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:34.079 Alvim Kamara. Yes, still one of the most dynamic pass 1159 00:53:34.119 --> 00:53:36.880 catchers in the NFL at the running back position. But 1160 00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:39.440 how much more is he doing really after the catch anymore? 1161 00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:42.400 How much more juice is he offering? So I think 1162 00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:43.960 it's sooner rather than later that the team just kind 1163 00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:46.400 of like decides to cut ties with Alvin Kamara. So 1164 00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:49.239 any discount that I'm getting on Travis a Chan as 1165 00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:52.559 a result of those that believe Alvin Kamara is going 1166 00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:55.400 to play a focal point in this offense. I mean, look, 1167 00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:57.559 if it's not Kamara, they'll probably get someone else involved. 1168 00:53:58.079 --> 00:53:59.920 I just think that it's going to be a chance 1169 00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:02.239 they paid him for a reason in free agency. He's 1170 00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:06.920 still in a good spot age wise, not super old. Look, Kamara, 1171 00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:09.519 I just think this time has come kind of for 1172 00:54:09.679 --> 00:54:11.760 the Saints. And I know that he said he doesn't 1173 00:54:11.760 --> 00:54:13.480 want to play for any other team, So it's like 1174 00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:15.239 week one. Is he more likely on the Saints on 1175 00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:18.519 another team or in Cankun? I mean, how am I 1176 00:54:18.559 --> 00:54:19.840 bad on Cancun at this point? 1177 00:54:20.159 --> 00:54:25.599 Yeah? The the etch thing is interesting too, because I 1178 00:54:25.639 --> 00:54:27.800 don't know, I mean, you tell me how much of 1179 00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:30.320 a discount this is, Andrew, But he's still going as 1180 00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:34.480 running back fifteen at the three oh seven. Now, the 1181 00:54:34.559 --> 00:54:37.239 other thing to consider, it looks like Tyler Schuck in 1182 00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:39.719 this in this offense, they're going to take a step 1183 00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:42.039 forward this year. They have Kellen Moore, who's a really 1184 00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:44.800 good play caller, who's always wants to just go, go, go, 1185 00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:47.360 go go. They run a lot of plays, all great 1186 00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:50.559 stuff for the Saints. They play in a dome, they 1187 00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:54.880 play and in that NFC South Division that I mentioned, 1188 00:54:54.880 --> 00:54:58.280 could be ripe for shootouts this year. If we find 1189 00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:01.320 out that Kamara is you know, cut, or is he 1190 00:55:01.360 --> 00:55:04.400 is he's traded or he retires or whatever, how much 1191 00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:07.199 room does et Chien have to move up from the 1192 00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:09.920 three oh seven and running back fifteen. I feel like 1193 00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:11.599 he'd move up a little bit, But I don't know 1194 00:55:11.639 --> 00:55:14.559 if we're gonna see anything significant, would we I. 1195 00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:15.920 Don't think anything too significant. 1196 00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:18.880 I think that the price point because what's Alvin Kamara's 1197 00:55:18.920 --> 00:55:22.880 adp rb D sixty. So I think that the market 1198 00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:24.559 is telling you, at least the fantasy full market is 1199 00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:27.320 telling you that, yeah, Kellen Morgan say whatever he wants 1200 00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:29.840 about Alvira Khmara, we're not buying that he's going to 1201 00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:33.119 be a big part of his offense. And why should 1202 00:55:33.159 --> 00:55:35.960 he be really he wasn't really effective last year, the 1203 00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:37.960 team decided to go in a different direction and sign 1204 00:55:38.079 --> 00:55:41.880 this highly touted free agent running back with Kellen Moore. 1205 00:55:42.519 --> 00:55:45.159 I think it's really just them trying to respect the player, 1206 00:55:45.199 --> 00:55:46.320 to be honest, and I think I. 1207 00:55:46.239 --> 00:55:47.920 Mean they did last year with Taysom Hill, right, they 1208 00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:48.719 had a whole week. 1209 00:55:48.559 --> 00:55:50.679 Of like, we're gonna have Taysom Hill Week and he's 1210 00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:52.920 gonna have a monster game, and then he did, and 1211 00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:55.039 then some of us in the fantasy space bit on 1212 00:55:55.119 --> 00:55:57.039 it in the next week. He did not think because 1213 00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:00.000 it wasn't the Taysom Hill Week anymore. So the same 1214 00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:03.960 like that good franchise. But I think m push comes 1215 00:56:03.960 --> 00:56:06.719 to show I also have an RB fifteen, and that's 1216 00:56:06.840 --> 00:56:09.760 considering that. I don't really think Kamara is going to 1217 00:56:09.800 --> 00:56:12.039 be a big part of this offense, if he's even 1218 00:56:12.079 --> 00:56:17.039 on the roster. But as we always see with news, 1219 00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:21.320 it just drives ADP. AJ Brown to the Patriots was 1220 00:56:21.480 --> 00:56:24.159 basically a four gone conclusion, and then after the trade happened, 1221 00:56:24.360 --> 00:56:25.559 his ADP went up anyway. 1222 00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:27.000 Same thing with DeVonta Smith. 1223 00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:29.480 His ADP went up anyway after age Brown got traded, 1224 00:56:29.480 --> 00:56:31.960 even though it was ninety nine percent sure that Age 1225 00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:34.360 Brown was going to get traded. So maybe he ends 1226 00:56:34.440 --> 00:56:37.280 up going and sneak into the top twelve, goes ahead 1227 00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:39.960 with some other receivers other positions. But I think that 1228 00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:42.159 RB fifteen is is a good range for him. 1229 00:56:42.800 --> 00:56:46.119 Yeah, I think that you're right. It probably will go 1230 00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:50.360 up just because that's what we do. But to your point, 1231 00:56:50.119 --> 00:56:52.280 I don't think he makes it into the second round. 1232 00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:55.559 I think you're looking at early third round at the most. 1233 00:56:55.599 --> 00:56:58.480 If anything, I mean, it should be something given the 1234 00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:01.840 other players that you make and how we're treating him, 1235 00:57:01.920 --> 00:57:03.920 But yeah, I don't think it's gonna be huge. Mary 1236 00:57:03.960 --> 00:57:08.440 kay Cabot. This was earlier today. Jerry Judy did not 1237 00:57:08.599 --> 00:57:12.400 practice at mandatory mini camp. Today. Judy is saying he 1238 00:57:12.800 --> 00:57:15.960 felt something in his hamstring, so he sat out. Todd 1239 00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:19.480 Monkin says he does not give veteran rest days right now, 1240 00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:23.000 so this was clearly an injury thing or they're being 1241 00:57:23.039 --> 00:57:28.119 cautious at least to not make it worse. And the 1242 00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:34.840 question here for you, Andrew is sort of twofold number one. 1243 00:57:35.400 --> 00:57:39.840 Who are you taking as the as the best value 1244 00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:43.000 for Brown's wide receivers right now? And then number two. 1245 00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:46.400 How much value is there, Like, how significant are these 1246 00:57:46.400 --> 00:57:49.719 guys going to be for fantasy Concepcion is a ten 1247 00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:53.599 to eleven turn pick, Denzel Boston is going at the 1248 00:57:53.679 --> 00:57:57.039 fifteen sixteen turn, and then Jerry Judy at the sixteen 1249 00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.760 seventeen turn. When when you look at I know Boston's 1250 00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:03.880 been performing well. Daniel Owiefussi had the report for ESPN, 1251 00:58:03.960 --> 00:58:06.719 say he's been one of the standouts of Brown's camp 1252 00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:11.440 so far. I don't know which one I view as 1253 00:58:11.480 --> 00:58:14.320 the best value. Maybe you can tell me what one 1254 00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:17.880 you view is the best value, and then whether how 1255 00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:20.199 significant this is going to be for our fantasy football 1256 00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:22.840 teams this year, given that none of these guys have 1257 00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:25.880 single digit round ADP at the. 1258 00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:29.079 Moment, I think that the two rookies are good values 1259 00:58:29.119 --> 00:58:29.800 just where they're going. 1260 00:58:30.079 --> 00:58:31.800 I think that it's a simple bet on. 1261 00:58:32.039 --> 00:58:34.360 I just think that these players are really talented, and 1262 00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:36.400 they're going in late enough in drafts where I'll kind 1263 00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:39.079 of let the situation play itself out. I think that 1264 00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:42.559 Conception Own was worth a first round real life pick 1265 00:58:42.599 --> 00:58:44.400 from the Cleveland Browns. I think that he fits exactly 1266 00:58:44.400 --> 00:58:47.719 what Todd Munkin wants. He has a Za Flowers type 1267 00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:50.480 of skill set, although he's bigger than Zay Flowers, so 1268 00:58:50.519 --> 00:58:52.159 a little bit heavier, which means I think he can 1269 00:58:52.199 --> 00:58:54.760 handle maybe a little bit more of a workload, especially. 1270 00:58:54.440 --> 00:58:54.960 His rookie year. 1271 00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:57.280 I means say Flowers his rookie season was very productive 1272 00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:00.440 in Todd Monkin type of offense. So I do think 1273 00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:03.159 that mon can see similarities between a guy he had 1274 00:59:03.199 --> 00:59:05.960 in Baltimore with Casey and conception On And the thing 1275 00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:08.800 with Concept Jan he does so much after the catch 1276 00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:12.000 that it makes it a little less dependent on what 1277 00:59:12.199 --> 00:59:14.960 potentially is bad quarterback play, right, That's what we're kind 1278 00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:17.840 of worried about here. It's like Deshaun Watson, Sure Sanders, Well, 1279 00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:20.360 if they're just getting the ball to concepttion On on bubble 1280 00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:22.679 screens and then he just breaks a tackle, rips off 1281 00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:25.639 thirty yards, who cares how bad the quarterback play is? 1282 00:59:25.679 --> 00:59:28.719 Like he's making those plays. So I like Concept Jon. 1283 00:59:28.800 --> 00:59:30.760 I think that he's a little less quarterback dependent than 1284 00:59:30.760 --> 00:59:34.880 someone like Denzel Boston, where he should be dominating in 1285 00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:38.880 the early summer right as that type of big bodied 1286 00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:41.960 red zone threat where it's a lot of routes on air. 1287 00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:44.840 This is where those guys tend to look really good 1288 00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:47.320 where there really is no pressure on the quarterback and 1289 00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:48.920 they can kind of just loft the ball up there. 1290 00:59:48.960 --> 00:59:51.719 So again, I like both players at their prices. I 1291 00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:54.079 think both are buying into. But I think the concept 1292 00:59:54.119 --> 00:59:56.239 Sean is going to lead this team in targets probably. 1293 00:59:57.119 --> 01:00:00.960 I get Harold Fannon is still involved out rookie season 1294 01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:03.440 at the tight end position, But concept, I think is 1295 01:00:03.440 --> 01:00:06.599 a really really talented player. And I think my first 1296 01:00:06.679 --> 01:00:09.079 round pick in the tenth round signed. 1297 01:00:08.840 --> 01:00:11.639 Off for that conceptcion Is is the guy I would 1298 01:00:11.639 --> 01:00:16.280 be putting my money on if I had to. I'm 1299 01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:19.480 still a little bit nervous to see how this how 1300 01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:22.360 often this offense is on the field, and how much 1301 01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:25.639 action he gets. I think Judy is a fine best 1302 01:00:25.679 --> 01:00:28.159 ball dart throw and Boston is a guy I just 1303 01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:31.039 I really don't know what to think about the You know, 1304 01:00:31.039 --> 01:00:34.119 I see people drafting him in rookie drafts and I'm 1305 01:00:34.159 --> 01:00:36.880 just like, you know, how how is I mean? I 1306 01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:40.400 certainly I guess he there's a non zero chance that 1307 01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:42.840 he does become the number one there at some point 1308 01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:45.360 on his rookie contract. I'm just seeing a lot of 1309 01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:48.639 obstacles in front of him, whether it's quarterback play, whether 1310 01:00:48.679 --> 01:00:51.599 it's you know, conceptsi On and Harold Fannins is another 1311 01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:53.760 guy that they're gonna get involved quite a bit. It 1312 01:00:53.800 --> 01:00:55.559 looks like they got a pretty good running back in 1313 01:00:55.639 --> 01:00:58.639 Quinn Shawn Judkins, So I think Conceptsion is the guy 1314 01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:01.440 I like. I didn't understand the Boston pick, but I 1315 01:01:01.519 --> 01:01:04.280 might be proven wrong by the Cleveland Browns going forward. 1316 01:01:05.440 --> 01:01:08.000 Boston is in his first year in the league, and 1317 01:01:08.039 --> 01:01:10.480 we know he's going to be a Brown. Brandon Ayuk 1318 01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:12.280 has been in the league for several years and we 1319 01:01:12.320 --> 01:01:14.639 have no idea where he's going to be playing this year. 1320 01:01:14.920 --> 01:01:19.199 California authorities issued a warrant for Brandon Ayuk's arrest Andrew. 1321 01:01:19.199 --> 01:01:22.000 If we've been paying attention to social media, Ayuk has 1322 01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:27.639 had some rants indirectly directed. I guess at the forty 1323 01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:30.400 nine ers brass in the front office there. I just 1324 01:01:30.440 --> 01:01:32.840 picked him as my seventh wide receiver in like the 1325 01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:36.360 sixteenth or seventeenth round of a draft. I'm in right now, 1326 01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:41.039 and it's a managed league, So if it rolls out 1327 01:01:41.079 --> 01:01:43.719 as a route rolls into September and I have to 1328 01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:47.480 submit waiver claims, and Ayuk is still, you know, in 1329 01:01:47.519 --> 01:01:49.719 the same spot he's in right now. He's an easy 1330 01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:51.599 cut for me, and that's why I picked him because 1331 01:01:51.760 --> 01:01:55.679 I still do see some upside here. How much upside 1332 01:01:55.719 --> 01:01:58.360 do you see? And at what point in drafts would 1333 01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:01.679 you be willing to Ayuk onto your roster? 1334 01:02:02.599 --> 01:02:06.119 Drafted Ayuk in the eighteenth round when we were drafting 1335 01:02:06.159 --> 01:02:08.440 on Monday, myself and Tom Strack and on the Fantasy 1336 01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:12.360 Pro channel. So I don't think there's ever a click 1337 01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:14.840 on a brand new Yuke where man that feels so 1338 01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:17.679 good because we don't know what's gonna happen there. There's 1339 01:02:18.199 --> 01:02:20.639 no one confident except I mean brand new Yuk doesn't 1340 01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:22.199 know what's gonna happen because the forty nine ers are 1341 01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:24.880 staying pat with no, we're not gonna release you for 1342 01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:27.440 nothing when we want someone to trade for you, and 1343 01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:32.079 they don't have to release him, so it's a slippery slope. 1344 01:02:32.119 --> 01:02:35.119 Of course, that's why he's upset, because he just wants 1345 01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:37.880 to play for a different team because he knows he's 1346 01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:39.440 not gonna play with the forty nine ers, but they 1347 01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:42.400 have his contract and because he's on the I think 1348 01:02:42.440 --> 01:02:44.320 it's like the NFI list, or it's on like one 1349 01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:46.000 of those lists where it doesn't count of gets the 1350 01:02:46.079 --> 01:02:48.119 ninety man roster, so they don't have to pay him. 1351 01:02:48.320 --> 01:02:50.920 So they really have no incentive to just like let 1352 01:02:51.000 --> 01:02:53.840 him go. Besides, like we want to be a good organization. 1353 01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:57.280 But clearly the fact that he has been ghosting them 1354 01:02:57.280 --> 01:03:00.400 this entire time with his injury, that forty and I 1355 01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:02.800 don't really feel obligated to, you know, do right by 1356 01:03:02.840 --> 01:03:05.159 Brandon Nayuk unless you know someone comes to the table 1357 01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:05.840 with a trade. 1358 01:03:06.039 --> 01:03:08.079 So the commanders make a lot of sense. 1359 01:03:08.119 --> 01:03:09.719 I know that he's I think even on some of 1360 01:03:09.719 --> 01:03:12.920 his videos he's like wearing a commander's hat or something 1361 01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:14.079 like that. I'd be like, yeah, I want to be 1362 01:03:14.079 --> 01:03:15.719 watched a pan and makes sense. But Jadan Daniels has 1363 01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:19.360 connection gating back to college, so I think right now 1364 01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:21.280 it's just you gotta kind of like crress the button 1365 01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:24.800 and just whatever, because you know how much upside he 1366 01:03:24.840 --> 01:03:26.920 has as a talent. I know, we haven't seen him 1367 01:03:26.920 --> 01:03:29.719 play in over a year, but you get seventy eight 1368 01:03:29.800 --> 01:03:32.719 percent of brand nay Yuk maybe attached to Jade and Daniels. 1369 01:03:33.559 --> 01:03:36.800 That's better than everyone else. That's going into eighteenth round, Like, 1370 01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:39.360 that's like my main point is, like, just who's being 1371 01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:41.719 drafted around? Yeah, he could be a total zero, no 1372 01:03:41.760 --> 01:03:44.480 doubt about it, But what about all the other guys 1373 01:03:44.480 --> 01:03:46.840 going the eighteenth nineteen twentyth round. I would I guess 1374 01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:49.519 my argument is the upside case for a Yuke is 1375 01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:53.239 so much clearer and better and higher than so many 1376 01:03:53.239 --> 01:03:55.920 of these other guys. That's kind of why I feel 1377 01:03:55.920 --> 01:03:59.440 like Ayuk isn't okay click right now. Obviously could be 1378 01:03:59.440 --> 01:04:01.840 a zero, just probably blow up and do nothing, but 1379 01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:03.760 I think the upside is kind of worth especially with 1380 01:04:03.880 --> 01:04:06.559 it basically being free. So eighteenth round for me, that's 1381 01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:09.199 where I took him and I didn't I basically I 1382 01:04:09.239 --> 01:04:11.159 think tweeted it after two I said, brand now you 1383 01:04:11.199 --> 01:04:13.559 can eighteenth round. I don't know about it, man, but 1384 01:04:13.679 --> 01:04:17.639 like whatever I was, like, that's kind of how I 1385 01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:18.280 feel about it. 1386 01:04:19.320 --> 01:04:22.880 I you probably with the best track record of any 1387 01:04:22.960 --> 01:04:25.519 eighteenth round wide receiver that you can get this year, 1388 01:04:25.559 --> 01:04:28.440 so certainly he's done it before. And if he does 1389 01:04:28.599 --> 01:04:32.360 end up in Washington, that seems like such a cozy 1390 01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:35.039 spot for him where he can easily assume the number 1391 01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:37.559 two roll. There something that he did for years in 1392 01:04:37.599 --> 01:04:41.920 San Francisco. Give Antonio Williams, you know, some valuable reps 1393 01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:44.480 at three. But you don't need to be counting on 1394 01:04:44.599 --> 01:04:47.480 him if you're Washington in his rookie year, because you 1395 01:04:47.480 --> 01:04:49.679 can have by you come aboard the other aspect to 1396 01:04:50.159 --> 01:04:51.960 I don't know what that kneedes like, he didn't play 1397 01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:54.920 all of last year, so that there's certainly something to 1398 01:04:54.920 --> 01:04:57.079 do with that too. Now. I think what would be 1399 01:04:57.119 --> 01:05:00.320 interesting Andrew is, let's say the Niners did release him 1400 01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:03.840 or or the Commander's traded for him, and not not 1401 01:05:03.920 --> 01:05:05.639 if the commander's traded for him, beg your pardon if 1402 01:05:05.639 --> 01:05:08.199 the if the Niners did outright release him and he's 1403 01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:10.760 just hanging out there for like a week and then 1404 01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:13.239 two weeks, it's like, Okay, we kind of know how 1405 01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:16.039 the NFL feels about this guy. Maybe we should feel 1406 01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:18.679 the same way. But but it is interesting, and and 1407 01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:21.519 Iukas is still a He's still a fun click at 1408 01:05:21.519 --> 01:05:23.960 that point, uh later on in the draft where you 1409 01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:26.719 don't know but it could it could could be good. 1410 01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:29.000 Last thing I want to bring up here in this segment, 1411 01:05:29.159 --> 01:05:32.039 and I'm gonna throw some ADPs at you that might 1412 01:05:32.079 --> 01:05:34.800 shock you because they shocked me. Omar Kelly covers the 1413 01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:37.280 Dolphins for the Miami Herald and he says Kevin Coleman 1414 01:05:37.360 --> 01:05:40.800 Junior should be the starting slot receiver for the Dolphins 1415 01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:43.679 this year. He says he believes that Coleman is the 1416 01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:48.760 best rookie receiver they have for Miami. And and if 1417 01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:52.239 you look at how f FPC players are treating this 1418 01:05:52.400 --> 01:05:57.320 Dolphins receiving game right now, it's it's pretty interesting. H 1419 01:05:57.400 --> 01:05:59.559 Chan is a second round pick right now, Andrew in 1420 01:05:59.559 --> 01:06:02.719 the f f SE big Gorilla. The next Dolphin off 1421 01:06:02.719 --> 01:06:06.199 the board is Greg Dulsic in the fourteenth round. Again 1422 01:06:06.280 --> 01:06:09.239 tight end premium scoring, So that's why you see Dulcie 1423 01:06:09.239 --> 01:06:12.360 as the next one. Caleb Douglass in the fifteenth is 1424 01:06:12.400 --> 01:06:15.719 the top receiver drafted on average from Miami in this 1425 01:06:16.159 --> 01:06:18.760 Chris Bell in the sixteenth, then you get into Malik 1426 01:06:18.960 --> 01:06:21.840 Washington in the nineteenth. Coleman is nowhere to be found. 1427 01:06:22.239 --> 01:06:26.239 What's your sort of how dialed in are you to 1428 01:06:26.679 --> 01:06:31.199 Dolphins receivers this year? Are there any potential difference makers 1429 01:06:31.239 --> 01:06:34.639 on this squad? I love Chris Bell for dynasty for redraft, 1430 01:06:34.639 --> 01:06:36.719 I don't know, Man I just don't know how effective 1431 01:06:36.719 --> 01:06:37.639 he's going to be year one. 1432 01:06:38.480 --> 01:06:41.800 I do like Greg Dulsis a lot, so he's definitely 1433 01:06:41.840 --> 01:06:44.119 the guy that I gravitate towards the most. I think 1434 01:06:44.159 --> 01:06:47.719 that he flashed really early talent as a rookie his 1435 01:06:47.800 --> 01:06:49.880 first year. I keep bringing this up because I think 1436 01:06:49.920 --> 01:06:53.159 it's important, But he was valued higher in Dynasty than 1437 01:06:53.159 --> 01:06:56.280 Trey McBride after their rookie seasons because of what Dulson 1438 01:06:56.360 --> 01:06:58.719 did and what Trey McBride didn't do because he was 1439 01:06:58.719 --> 01:07:01.159 stuck behind zach Ertz. So that was a real thing, 1440 01:07:01.199 --> 01:07:04.440 and obviously the careers couldn't have been trained out differently. 1441 01:07:05.079 --> 01:07:06.840 I know we have a comment here from Adam halland 1442 01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:08.880 two five to two three about dults can't stand the field. 1443 01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:11.440 Totally agree, like that has been his bugaboo. Been really 1444 01:07:11.440 --> 01:07:13.639 injury prone for the most of his NFL career, but 1445 01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:16.480 he's only twenty six years old. Flashed a lot in 1446 01:07:16.559 --> 01:07:19.320 yards out to catch perception, trailing only my guy last year, 1447 01:07:19.320 --> 01:07:21.960 Tucker Craft. Greg Dulcich was second yards ap to catch 1448 01:07:22.039 --> 01:07:24.679 perception elite in yards per out run among tight ends. 1449 01:07:24.719 --> 01:07:26.519 Now a little bit of a small sample size, but 1450 01:07:26.920 --> 01:07:29.599 look the Dolphins brought him back. He has familiarity with 1451 01:07:29.679 --> 01:07:33.320 the offensive coaching staff there, so I think And one 1452 01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:35.679 thing that was really glaring to me that stood out 1453 01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:40.159 was on a podcast with the new GM was asked, Okay, 1454 01:07:40.159 --> 01:07:42.280 who do you expect to take a major leap this year? 1455 01:07:42.920 --> 01:07:45.480 This is Greg Dulsch, right like, So that to me 1456 01:07:45.639 --> 01:07:48.639 was just like wow, Like, that's pretty bold of a 1457 01:07:48.679 --> 01:07:50.159 stance to make on a player that you signed like 1458 01:07:50.199 --> 01:07:52.320 a one year contract to. But I just believe that 1459 01:07:52.320 --> 01:07:54.320 there's a talent with Greg Dolcic. We see tight end 1460 01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:56.599 breakouts later in their careers all the time. 1461 01:07:56.760 --> 01:07:58.039 He's only twenty six years old. 1462 01:07:58.079 --> 01:07:59.920 And what's the number one thing you need with tight 1463 01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:02.719 and just a path to relevance, a path to targets? 1464 01:08:02.760 --> 01:08:03.719 Does he have that in Miami? 1465 01:08:03.960 --> 01:08:06.119 Clearly because you just listed off all the wide receivers, 1466 01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:08.679 there's not many good ones there. To the point about 1467 01:08:08.679 --> 01:08:12.039 Omar Kelly about Kevin Coleman Junior, I don't disagree with 1468 01:08:12.119 --> 01:08:15.280 him because but I think this requires context where I 1469 01:08:15.480 --> 01:08:18.039 think Caleb Douglas was a clear reach for a player 1470 01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:20.720 in the third round. He was not on my raidar whatsoever. 1471 01:08:21.159 --> 01:08:25.119 And Chris Bell is currently injured. So so like the 1472 01:08:25.159 --> 01:08:26.800 bar for Kevin Coleman that I would be the best 1473 01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:30.960 rookie wide receiver, it's not necessarily super super hard. I'm 1474 01:08:31.000 --> 01:08:33.720 not surprised that like he would be maybe the guy 1475 01:08:33.720 --> 01:08:36.039 over in the Leak Washington. He's kind of view as 1476 01:08:36.039 --> 01:08:38.920 the Veterans thought player, but he's also attached to the 1477 01:08:38.960 --> 01:08:41.399 previous regime, so they have no incentive like, oh, we 1478 01:08:41.399 --> 01:08:44.520 gotta get Leak Washington involved. Not necessarily the case. I 1479 01:08:44.560 --> 01:08:46.840 think it does behooves them to get see what they 1480 01:08:46.880 --> 01:08:48.399 got out Vin Coleman, who I did actually kind of 1481 01:08:48.479 --> 01:08:50.199 like a little bit as a prospect. I know Derek 1482 01:08:50.199 --> 01:08:51.920 Brown is also a big fan of Kevin Coleman. Kind 1483 01:08:51.920 --> 01:08:54.119 of looked at him as like a discounted version of 1484 01:08:54.159 --> 01:08:55.920 Antonio Williams, which. 1485 01:08:56.079 --> 01:08:57.159 I could kind of buy into. 1486 01:08:57.279 --> 01:09:00.600 So again, of all these Dolphins players, would Kevin Coleman 1487 01:09:00.680 --> 01:09:02.520 Round twenty is probably the one that I liked the most, 1488 01:09:02.520 --> 01:09:03.720 aside from Greg Dulsich. 1489 01:09:03.880 --> 01:09:06.920 Yeah, Dulsic, I just drafted non tight end premium scoring 1490 01:09:07.119 --> 01:09:09.239 as my backup tight end and a draft them in 1491 01:09:09.800 --> 01:09:12.600 and I just had these visions in my head Andrew 1492 01:09:12.640 --> 01:09:16.079 of like the Dolphins being down by seventeen or perhaps 1493 01:09:16.119 --> 01:09:19.399 thirteen late in games, and willis just dropping back to 1494 01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:23.159 pass and just dumping these little eight nine yard little 1495 01:09:23.199 --> 01:09:26.239 seam routes to Dulcuch where he just falls down and 1496 01:09:26.239 --> 01:09:28.439 then they just keep going down the field. I don't know. 1497 01:09:28.920 --> 01:09:31.039 Adam makes a good point that is a problem for 1498 01:09:31.119 --> 01:09:33.720 him staying on the field, But you're having fourteenth, fifteenth round. 1499 01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:36.239 If he gets hurt, it's not like you're married to 1500 01:09:36.279 --> 01:09:38.079 the guy with your draft capital that you invested in. 1501 01:09:38.279 --> 01:09:40.000 You can cut him and move on to somebody else. 1502 01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:44.199 But certainly Dulsage is intriguing right now. Hopefully you've been 1503 01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:46.800 intrigued for the remainder of the show. We're gonna step 1504 01:09:46.840 --> 01:09:50.000 out take our first break. Andrew Erickson for Fantasy Pros 1505 01:09:50.039 --> 01:09:53.479 joining me on FFPC Insider Access tonight. When we return, 1506 01:09:53.520 --> 01:09:56.199 we're gonna be talking about the must haves in your draft. 1507 01:09:56.560 --> 01:09:59.520 Which ones of these players do you need and which 1508 01:09:59.560 --> 01:10:03.079 ones of these players might you just consider luxuries or 1509 01:10:03.159 --> 01:10:05.399 non targets. If they fall to you, great, but you 1510 01:10:05.399 --> 01:10:07.600 don't need to fall all over yourself trying to get them. 1511 01:10:07.720 --> 01:10:10.439 You're watching f f PC Insider Access.

If you've 1544 01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:00.760 been following them on social media week, you would have 1545 01:13:00.840 --> 01:13:04.720 seen him draft that super Flex FFPC tournament team with 1546 01:13:04.760 --> 01:13:06.880 Tom Stratton.

It's fun 1549 01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:13.159 to get back into the best bulls. Haven't been drafting 1550 01:13:13.159 --> 01:13:16.680 a lot in May. Just been busy again mentioned earlier 1551 01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:18.600 in the show. Got a new puppy, so that's kind 1552 01:13:18.600 --> 01:13:20.239 of been taking up the majority of my time, but 1553 01:13:20.520 --> 01:13:22.880 happy to get back into the streets now that we 1554 01:13:22.960 --> 01:13:24.880 have all the rosters basically official. 1555 01:13:24.960 --> 01:13:26.960 I know that AJ Brown tray was kind of like 1556 01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:27.720 the last thing. 1557 01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:29.439 Obviously, we're gonna talk about a Jay Brown at the 1558 01:13:29.439 --> 01:13:31.640 top of every single hour that we do here while 1559 01:13:31.680 --> 01:13:33.720 we're talking live. But now it's fun to be back 1560 01:13:33.720 --> 01:13:35.359 in the best plull streets because that's like the most 1561 01:13:35.359 --> 01:13:38.720 fun about fantasy right is the draft, Like drafting all 1562 01:13:38.760 --> 01:13:41.119 the draft day prep. So getting in the reps now 1563 01:13:41.199 --> 01:13:43.399 with best Ball, it's a great way to get ready 1564 01:13:43.439 --> 01:13:46.119 and win some money heading into the twenty twenty sixth season. 1565 01:13:46.680 --> 01:13:50.520 Perhaps the best way to win money this year, no 1566 01:13:50.600 --> 01:13:53.840 matter what you're drafting in is to get these must 1567 01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:57.800 have players on your drafts, on your teams in your drafts. 1568 01:13:58.000 --> 01:14:00.680 And we lead things off this segment tonight, Andrew with 1569 01:14:00.720 --> 01:14:04.840 your guy AJ Brown there. I don't want to say 1570 01:14:04.880 --> 01:14:07.560 it was the worst kept secret in the NFL because 1571 01:14:07.920 --> 01:14:10.520 I wasn't totally sure it was gonna happen, especially the 1572 01:14:10.560 --> 01:14:12.920 longer at dragged on. But we do know he's in 1573 01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:16.000 New England this year. I have been of the opinion 1574 01:14:16.119 --> 01:14:20.039 that I could foresee New England regressing a little bit 1575 01:14:20.079 --> 01:14:23.279 this year, what with you know, super Bowl curse aside, 1576 01:14:23.600 --> 01:14:25.840 they had a somewhat easy schedule this year. They're gonna 1577 01:14:25.840 --> 01:14:28.239 have a tougher schedule this year. And then they get 1578 01:14:28.239 --> 01:14:29.960 AJ Brown, and I'm kind of like, you know what, 1579 01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:32.560 maybe I got to back off this this regression thing. 1580 01:14:32.840 --> 01:14:35.239 You have trevi On Henderson in year two, you have 1581 01:14:35.279 --> 01:14:38.640 a pretty good offensive line, you have the alpha on 1582 01:14:38.680 --> 01:14:42.319 the perimeter now, and AJ Brown clearly a franchise quarterback 1583 01:14:42.359 --> 01:14:44.520 in Drake May. You could make the case that he 1584 01:14:44.640 --> 01:14:47.640 might be a top five NFL quarterback. If you're starting 1585 01:14:47.640 --> 01:14:50.119 your franchise right now, He's probably gonna be one of 1586 01:14:50.159 --> 01:14:53.560 the top five players chosen there. I like the defense. 1587 01:14:53.640 --> 01:14:56.720 The head coach too, seems to know at least football 1588 01:14:57.239 --> 01:15:00.960 off the field. Whatever. But but you can wax poetic 1589 01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:03.720 here on AJ Brown and tell all the listeners and 1590 01:15:03.760 --> 01:15:07.880 all the viewers who aren't sure about drafting AJ Brown 1591 01:15:08.640 --> 01:15:11.800 right now as the wide receiver eight at the two 1592 01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:14.159 to eleven. Oh, he sneaked up into the first time 1593 01:15:14.159 --> 01:15:16.199 I've seen him in the second round. He is going 1594 01:15:16.199 --> 01:15:18.640 on average in the second round right now, Andrew, maybe 1595 01:15:18.680 --> 01:15:20.720 it's because of you you've been pumping this guy up. 1596 01:15:20.760 --> 01:15:24.000 Tell us why, Yeah, RI ip the AJ Brown round 1597 01:15:24.000 --> 01:15:26.159 four days, Yes, because that's. 1598 01:15:26.039 --> 01:15:28.319 That's where we're getting. It was easy to stack both my. 1599 01:15:28.560 --> 01:15:31.720 Both my FFPC teams that I've drafted got the Drake 1600 01:15:31.800 --> 01:15:34.840 May AJ Brown stack, and I'm ready to rock with that. 1601 01:15:35.079 --> 01:15:38.000 So not surprised that his price has gone up, because 1602 01:15:38.039 --> 01:15:41.319 I think that the ceiling case for AJ Brown is 1603 01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:43.000 he's a top five. 1604 01:15:42.840 --> 01:15:44.319 Fantasy wide receiver this season. 1605 01:15:44.760 --> 01:15:47.279 When I was going through my rankings eye and originally 1606 01:15:47.279 --> 01:15:49.199 moved up to wide receiver eight, and then I was 1607 01:15:49.199 --> 01:15:52.359 talking to Derek Brown again, colleague at Fantasy Bro's great friend, 1608 01:15:52.359 --> 01:15:54.680 great Fantasy mind, and he's telling me, He's like, dude, 1609 01:15:54.680 --> 01:15:57.520 I got him a wide receiver six Like what it's like, 1610 01:15:57.560 --> 01:15:59.960 I got a wide receiver sixth. And I can't be 1611 01:16:00.079 --> 01:16:02.680 the lowman on AJ Brown against a non Patriots I 1612 01:16:02.680 --> 01:16:04.079 am also on Patriots, and you can if you can't 1613 01:16:04.079 --> 01:16:06.560 tell from the battles of the Patriots stuff, I can't 1614 01:16:06.600 --> 01:16:09.079 be the lowman on Patriots players, especially a guy like 1615 01:16:09.119 --> 01:16:11.600 AJ Brown, who I loved when he wasn't even a Patriot, 1616 01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:16.479 especially when Derek was so sound with the analysis of well, okay, 1617 01:16:16.520 --> 01:16:19.119 so do you want Justin Jefferson with Kyler Murray's quarterback 1618 01:16:19.399 --> 01:16:22.000 over AJ Brown with Drake May who you just talked about, 1619 01:16:22.039 --> 01:16:25.680 like third year guy second in the MVP voting last year. 1620 01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:28.000 Who's more going to throw forty touchdowns this year? 1621 01:16:28.199 --> 01:16:32.199 Drake May or Kyler Murray certainly isn't Kyler Murray. So 1622 01:16:32.439 --> 01:16:34.800 I think that when you're looking at the Patriots offense 1623 01:16:35.119 --> 01:16:37.439 last year, a lot of it was scoring from outside 1624 01:16:37.479 --> 01:16:39.600 the red zone. They're actually pretty poor in the red zone. 1625 01:16:39.800 --> 01:16:40.600 So what do they do? 1626 01:16:40.960 --> 01:16:43.359 They get AJ Brown, They get Romeo Dobs, you guys 1627 01:16:43.359 --> 01:16:47.039 that are very big red zone presidences. The crowd opens 1628 01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:49.760 up this offense because he can beat man coverage top 1629 01:16:49.800 --> 01:16:53.000 five graded against man covers last year per PFF. And 1630 01:16:53.039 --> 01:16:56.000 when the Eagles decided to actually feature him as the 1631 01:16:56.000 --> 01:16:58.079 focal point, I think it was like weeks eleven through 1632 01:16:58.159 --> 01:17:01.640 sixteen last year, guy would a top three Fantasy wide receiver. 1633 01:17:02.039 --> 01:17:05.239 So I think if the planets aligned for AJ Brown 1634 01:17:05.319 --> 01:17:09.239 and he gets used in this offense like DeVante Adams 1635 01:17:09.279 --> 01:17:11.920 with the Las Vegas Raiders, with Josh McDaniels or even 1636 01:17:11.960 --> 01:17:13.840 throwing it back to I love calling this guy back 1637 01:17:14.119 --> 01:17:15.000 Brandon Marshall. 1638 01:17:15.560 --> 01:17:18.399 Yeah, ver Broncos. Dude, there were gays. Brandon Marshall had 1639 01:17:18.479 --> 01:17:20.119 like twenty targets. 1640 01:17:19.600 --> 01:17:22.600 In a single game. Now does this make the Patriots 1641 01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:23.359 win more games? 1642 01:17:23.520 --> 01:17:23.720 No? 1643 01:17:23.840 --> 01:17:24.399 Probably not. 1644 01:17:24.880 --> 01:17:27.520 We saw AJ Brown like Jalen Hurts, when he would 1645 01:17:27.560 --> 01:17:30.199 hyper target. AJ Brown didn't always create the best results 1646 01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:33.279 for a win loss perspective. But in terms of putting 1647 01:17:33.319 --> 01:17:35.840 up points, if the Patriots defense isn't as good as 1648 01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:38.359 it was last year facing much tougher offenses, are they 1649 01:17:38.439 --> 01:17:40.000 playing from behind a little bit more? 1650 01:17:40.840 --> 01:17:43.560 I just think that the ceiling. 1651 01:17:43.199 --> 01:17:46.239 Outcome for AJ Brown is so high as the clear 1652 01:17:46.279 --> 01:17:48.399 cut alpha in this offense. I don't think anything from 1653 01:17:48.479 --> 01:17:51.479 last year about his efficiency falling off, which I mean 1654 01:17:51.520 --> 01:17:53.399 relative to the rest of the NFL wide receivers. 1655 01:17:53.600 --> 01:17:55.319 He's still really dang good. 1656 01:17:55.840 --> 01:18:00.000 So I think it was really more about circumstantial about 1657 01:18:00.119 --> 01:18:01.720 Jalen Hurts and him not really being on the same 1658 01:18:01.760 --> 01:18:04.960 page about the Eagles offense looking just straight up dysfunctional 1659 01:18:05.119 --> 01:18:07.159 at points last year. There were points last year where 1660 01:18:07.319 --> 01:18:09.520 they couldn't complete a pass in the second half of 1661 01:18:09.560 --> 01:18:10.079 some games. 1662 01:18:10.399 --> 01:18:11.279 It was crazy. 1663 01:18:11.600 --> 01:18:12.960 I don't think that's gonna be the case with Drake 1664 01:18:13.000 --> 01:18:15.279 May I think it's a clear upgrade, especially with how 1665 01:18:15.319 --> 01:18:18.479 pretty his deep ball is. It's a JB wide receiver 1666 01:18:18.560 --> 01:18:22.079 one season and actually after cocking to Derek Brown, I 1667 01:18:22.199 --> 01:18:24.640 moved to wide receiver five. I'm like, I want this 1668 01:18:24.760 --> 01:18:27.199 I want this guy on all my teams. Give me 1669 01:18:27.279 --> 01:18:29.199 him in the second round. And if you tie my 1670 01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:31.359 hat you had to tie my hands behind my back 1671 01:18:31.399 --> 01:18:33.760 that you gottake him around one and be like sick, 1672 01:18:34.119 --> 01:18:36.079 I'll do it, like whatever. 1673 01:18:36.199 --> 01:18:38.279 I just think the ceiling is so high for him. 1674 01:18:38.680 --> 01:18:40.399 The Uh yeah, I was gonna add that was my 1675 01:18:40.439 --> 01:18:42.840 next question. If if Debro had him at six, I was. 1676 01:18:42.800 --> 01:18:46.920 Like, I was like, no, I'm not doing it. 1677 01:18:47.439 --> 01:18:50.079 Okay, interesting, so Brown, clearly they must have for you. 1678 01:18:50.399 --> 01:18:52.560 We move on down the wide receiver list. A player, 1679 01:18:53.199 --> 01:18:56.439 quite frankly that is going ahead of AJ Brown right 1680 01:18:56.439 --> 01:18:59.279 now is Drake London UH wide receiver seven at the 1681 01:18:59.279 --> 01:19:01.439 two to oh six. In fact, he might be yeah, 1682 01:19:01.560 --> 01:19:05.279 he's actually London's wide receiver seven, Brown's wide receiver eight. 1683 01:19:05.359 --> 01:19:07.960 So Brown, if he was to surpass the next person 1684 01:19:07.960 --> 01:19:11.239 to be London, London does not have as good of 1685 01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:14.359 a quarterback as Brown has this year. In fact, we 1686 01:19:14.439 --> 01:19:17.079 don't know who his quarterback is going to be. In fact, 1687 01:19:17.439 --> 01:19:19.239 we don't know if he's gonna have the same quarterback 1688 01:19:19.279 --> 01:19:22.399 every week of the season. It's it's a very unsettled 1689 01:19:22.439 --> 01:19:26.239 situation there with with Penix and Tongue by Loa and 1690 01:19:26.399 --> 01:19:28.039 you know, a lot of the people I've talked to 1691 01:19:28.079 --> 01:19:31.399 Andrew over the last couple of months, if you have London, 1692 01:19:31.439 --> 01:19:35.199 I think most, not all, most people have said they 1693 01:19:35.239 --> 01:19:37.840 want to see Penix in that quarterback. If they have London, 1694 01:19:38.039 --> 01:19:40.840 they are a little bit nervous about Tongue by Loa 1695 01:19:41.359 --> 01:19:44.479 throwing the ball in that Falcons offense as to what 1696 01:19:44.560 --> 01:19:46.439 London is going to do to try to pay off 1697 01:19:46.439 --> 01:19:50.560 that two oh six ADP. Is Drake London a must 1698 01:19:50.600 --> 01:19:52.399 have for you in drafts this year? 1699 01:19:53.239 --> 01:19:55.880 I think that being so high on A J Brown, 1700 01:19:55.960 --> 01:19:58.319 Drake London doesn't kind of qualify as one of my 1701 01:19:58.560 --> 01:20:00.800 must have. He's a player that I really like and 1702 01:20:01.319 --> 01:20:05.039 the ceiling with him is a player that can enter 1703 01:20:05.079 --> 01:20:08.319 that elite tier. He was basically doing that last season 1704 01:20:08.680 --> 01:20:11.359 before his injury. He was the wide receiver three in 1705 01:20:11.399 --> 01:20:14.199 points per game. So we've seen enough from Drake Lendon 1706 01:20:14.239 --> 01:20:16.039 from a talent standpoint that, hey, this guy is the 1707 01:20:16.039 --> 01:20:18.319 top ten real life wide receiver. That's why he's going 1708 01:20:18.359 --> 01:20:21.640 inside the top seven of fantasy wide receivers. But if 1709 01:20:21.680 --> 01:20:25.000 Tua his his quarterback, I just don't have a ton 1710 01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:27.439 of faith that Tua is the best fit. The last 1711 01:20:27.439 --> 01:20:31.600 two seasons with Michael Pennix as his quarterback, Drake London 1712 01:20:31.680 --> 01:20:35.039 full PPR has averaged almost twenty points per game, which 1713 01:20:35.079 --> 01:20:37.720 is like the threshold we're looking for with a difference 1714 01:20:37.760 --> 01:20:40.760 making elite wide receiver that you want to draft in 1715 01:20:40.800 --> 01:20:43.800 the first two rounds of your fantasy drafts. So if 1716 01:20:43.800 --> 01:20:46.119 Tua is the start to open the year first month 1717 01:20:46.159 --> 01:20:48.399 of the year, it's gonna be more b Jhon Robinson. 1718 01:20:48.560 --> 01:20:52.520 Well these underneath bubble screens. So that's where I get 1719 01:20:52.520 --> 01:20:54.680 concerned about London. It's just the quarterbacks. And this is 1720 01:20:54.720 --> 01:20:57.000 also an opportunity to where maybe Drake London is a 1721 01:20:57.079 --> 01:20:59.880 trade for target. When you get Michael Pennox back on 1722 01:21:00.159 --> 01:21:03.279 center in the later portion of the year, Drake London smashes. 1723 01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:05.399 So I think I would try again. If I'm drafting 1724 01:21:05.439 --> 01:21:07.079 a bunch of best ball teams, I don't want zero 1725 01:21:07.159 --> 01:21:08.840 Drake London. I want to be clear with that, because 1726 01:21:08.840 --> 01:21:11.000 I do think that he has a ton of upside, 1727 01:21:11.039 --> 01:21:13.960 especially Michael Penix takes over as quarterback. But to your 1728 01:21:14.000 --> 01:21:16.479 initial point, who do you want throwing the ball to you? 1729 01:21:16.560 --> 01:21:19.359 Drake May to or Michael Pennix? You want Drake May 1730 01:21:19.359 --> 01:21:21.199 throwing ball And if it's close enough for me, it's 1731 01:21:21.239 --> 01:21:22.920 like that just gets me a little bit to lean 1732 01:21:22.960 --> 01:21:23.359 towards a J. 1733 01:21:23.439 --> 01:21:23.640 Brown. 1734 01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:26.479 Would also not be opposed to an AJ Brown Drake 1735 01:21:26.520 --> 01:21:29.279 London start where I can draft both guys at you know, 1736 01:21:29.319 --> 01:21:30.439 the one two turn if I'm not going to go 1737 01:21:30.479 --> 01:21:32.479 running back in the first round or second round, So 1738 01:21:32.520 --> 01:21:35.039 that's another option as well. But like Drake London, just 1739 01:21:35.079 --> 01:21:36.800 not as much as AJ Brown. 1740 01:21:38.399 --> 01:21:40.159 Let me ask you about Jaalen Waddle because it seems 1741 01:21:40.159 --> 01:21:43.680 like he's building some steam lately. When the trade was 1742 01:21:43.720 --> 01:21:48.880 made with with Miami, it seemed like most, I don't 1743 01:21:48.880 --> 01:21:51.920 want to say most, a good number of FFPC players 1744 01:21:52.079 --> 01:21:54.520 we're kind of drafting something would kind of go ahead 1745 01:21:54.560 --> 01:21:57.840 some drafts. Wattle would go ahead some drafts. But now 1746 01:21:57.880 --> 01:21:59.920 it seems like Wattle is really the guy that is 1747 01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:03.560 going ahead of Courtland Sutton and quite frankly, if I 1748 01:22:03.600 --> 01:22:05.199 remember correctly, I'm gonna look it up right now. I 1749 01:22:05.199 --> 01:22:10.119 don't think it's necessarily all that close anymore. The ADP 1750 01:22:10.319 --> 01:22:13.800 we have on Waddle is wide receiver twenty four, Courtland 1751 01:22:13.880 --> 01:22:17.039 Sutton is wide receiver thirty eight, five oh six, and 1752 01:22:17.119 --> 01:22:19.880 the eight to oh four, So it's basically three rounds 1753 01:22:19.880 --> 01:22:23.720 of separation here. So Wattle, his ADP has moved up, 1754 01:22:23.960 --> 01:22:26.159 but he's still a mid fifth round pick. Is he 1755 01:22:26.399 --> 01:22:29.960 must have considering what this Broncos offense is going to 1756 01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:33.279 be this year with Wattle into a player that they 1757 01:22:33.319 --> 01:22:36.039 didn't have last year. Quite frankly, they were this close 1758 01:22:36.640 --> 01:22:39.640 to going to the super Bowl at home in the 1759 01:22:39.640 --> 01:22:42.279 AFC Championship game. Didn't happen because they didn't have bo Nicks. 1760 01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:45.359 Certainly there's some weather there as well. Not that I'm 1761 01:22:45.760 --> 01:22:48.800 you know, not praising what your Patriots did because they 1762 01:22:48.920 --> 01:22:51.720 went out and won that game. But I think Waddle 1763 01:22:51.760 --> 01:22:53.279 adds a new element to this offense. 1764 01:22:54.239 --> 01:22:55.920 It was a great move by the Denver Broncos. 1765 01:22:55.960 --> 01:22:59.039 As a Super Bowl contender, you trade for the missing 1766 01:22:59.079 --> 01:23:00.880 piece right that gets you over the top, and I 1767 01:23:00.880 --> 01:23:03.479 think that Waddle, if he is healthy, he can be 1768 01:23:03.560 --> 01:23:06.000 that piece and element to this offense. That it was missing, 1769 01:23:06.079 --> 01:23:09.159 So I think Jaalen Waddles must have this year. If 1770 01:23:09.199 --> 01:23:11.279 you guys have followed me at Fantasy Spros, even if 1771 01:23:11.279 --> 01:23:14.159 my days at PFF, I think I've drafted Jaalen Waddle 1772 01:23:14.199 --> 01:23:16.640 every single year through all the ups and the downs, 1773 01:23:16.880 --> 01:23:20.119 So it's asn't always been a fun ride, especially because 1774 01:23:20.119 --> 01:23:22.319 he seems like he has a time share in the 1775 01:23:22.359 --> 01:23:25.000 Blue Medical ten, which I don't like for Jalen Waddle, 1776 01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:26.960 even though he doesn't always get hurt, he just seems 1777 01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:30.439 like he's banged up through games constantly. But last year 1778 01:23:30.520 --> 01:23:32.239 I think that he was really held back by the 1779 01:23:32.279 --> 01:23:34.760 circumstances and we just didn't get the chance to see 1780 01:23:35.159 --> 01:23:38.439 him operate without Tyreek Hill, right because the minute that 1781 01:23:38.479 --> 01:23:40.640 terryk Kill went down, the offense just turned into this 1782 01:23:40.760 --> 01:23:42.800 run funnel and they just didn't want to throw the 1783 01:23:42.800 --> 01:23:44.560 ball at all downfield. And then he got banged up 1784 01:23:44.600 --> 01:23:47.039 towards the end of the year. But he's flashed so 1785 01:23:47.119 --> 01:23:49.640 much talent throughout his NFL career. He's won in different ways, 1786 01:23:49.640 --> 01:23:51.199 whether it was his rookie year when he saw a 1787 01:23:51.279 --> 01:23:53.960 ton of volume, whether it's been in years past when 1788 01:23:54.039 --> 01:23:58.039 even alongside Tyreek Hill. He's had monster yards performances, very 1789 01:23:58.039 --> 01:24:01.560 efficient yards per route run last year. His yards problem 1790 01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:03.600 is still very very good. So I don't think he's 1791 01:24:03.640 --> 01:24:05.680 falling off in his game. And now he's going offense, 1792 01:24:05.680 --> 01:24:08.479 it's actually gonna throw the ball like that's the biggest thing. 1793 01:24:08.560 --> 01:24:10.600 And it's not with Tyreek Hill opposite him, it's with 1794 01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:13.319 Courtland Sutton, who I think sutton his own right as 1795 01:24:13.319 --> 01:24:16.199 a player that's been really effective. Obviously great season last year, 1796 01:24:16.199 --> 01:24:20.159 but at times he was losing out on targets and 1797 01:24:20.239 --> 01:24:23.960 red zone opportunities to Troy Franklin of all players last year. 1798 01:24:24.039 --> 01:24:27.359 So if Jalen Wattle is able to take up some 1799 01:24:27.479 --> 01:24:31.000 of those goal line opportunities, whether it's two point conversions, 1800 01:24:31.039 --> 01:24:33.720 whether it's red zone attempts, like that's the missing piece 1801 01:24:33.720 --> 01:24:35.880 with Wattles they haven't really been a touchdown guy. Well, 1802 01:24:35.880 --> 01:24:37.479 if he goes to an offense that likes to throw 1803 01:24:37.479 --> 01:24:38.840 the ball a little bit more than they did in 1804 01:24:38.880 --> 01:24:41.239 Miami he used more in the red zone, we already 1805 01:24:41.239 --> 01:24:44.199 nobody can do fromn efficiency standpoint, especially with defenses not 1806 01:24:44.239 --> 01:24:46.279 really honed in on him. As Okay, we have to 1807 01:24:46.279 --> 01:24:48.279 stop Jayla Wall because the Denver Broncos have a lot 1808 01:24:48.279 --> 01:24:51.000 of depth between all the receivers they use, the running backs, 1809 01:24:51.039 --> 01:24:53.560 the tight ends. I really like Wattle this year, especially 1810 01:24:53.560 --> 01:24:56.039 where he's going in the round five. So another year 1811 01:24:56.079 --> 01:24:58.800 of Wattle, We'll see, uh see how it shakes out. 1812 01:24:58.800 --> 01:25:00.159 But I'm gonna be here for the ride. 1813 01:25:00.800 --> 01:25:05.039 If let me throw this at you. Let's imagine the 1814 01:25:05.079 --> 01:25:10.199 offense that Mike McDaniel had in Miami with tongue bai loa, 1815 01:25:10.239 --> 01:25:13.880 a healthy Tyreek Hill and a healthy Jalen Waddle. The 1816 01:25:14.000 --> 01:25:17.840 situation that he's in Denver right now, how close does 1817 01:25:17.880 --> 01:25:21.439 it come to what that one was in Miami. As 1818 01:25:21.439 --> 01:25:23.880 far as Waddle's fantasy prospects. 1819 01:25:24.399 --> 01:25:28.159 I think that the ceiling outcome is higher because Wattle 1820 01:25:28.640 --> 01:25:30.760 has a chance to be the number one in Denver. 1821 01:25:31.039 --> 01:25:33.319 I don't think that was ever going to necessarily be 1822 01:25:33.399 --> 01:25:36.000 the case, especially with Tyreek Hill still very much in 1823 01:25:36.079 --> 01:25:38.199 his peak during a lot of those seasons in Miami 1824 01:25:38.800 --> 01:25:41.520 just so good still had all the speed, all the juice. 1825 01:25:41.880 --> 01:25:44.159 I think that Sutton last year did show a little 1826 01:25:44.159 --> 01:25:46.760 bit of a falloff in terms of well, he was 1827 01:25:46.840 --> 01:25:49.119 the alpha, but he was kind of more of a 1828 01:25:49.159 --> 01:25:52.079 fake alpha in terms of the other receivers were getting 1829 01:25:52.079 --> 01:25:54.359 more involved. Think back to that playoff game, who was 1830 01:25:54.399 --> 01:25:58.680 getting Pepper with targets Pat Bryant, Right, So, Sean Paynoy's 1831 01:25:58.680 --> 01:26:00.960 pulls the shenanigans where we always have to focus on 1832 01:26:00.960 --> 01:26:03.239 one guy, and I think that's still in the range 1833 01:26:03.239 --> 01:26:05.319 of outcomes of the bad side of things, where Wattle's 1834 01:26:05.319 --> 01:26:07.800 not a gonna see double digit targets every single week. 1835 01:26:07.800 --> 01:26:09.600 I don't think that's necessarily the case, but I think 1836 01:26:09.600 --> 01:26:11.960 it's he can win with efficiency and he can win 1837 01:26:12.000 --> 01:26:14.119 with touchdowns. Like That's kind of what I'm betting on 1838 01:26:14.159 --> 01:26:16.840 with Jalen Wattle, not that he he doesn't profile to 1839 01:26:16.880 --> 01:26:18.800 me and he's never really profiled as oh, he's gonna 1840 01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:20.880 be a volume hog. I think that he's just gonna 1841 01:26:20.920 --> 01:26:22.880 do a lot of damage with the targets and opportunities 1842 01:26:22.880 --> 01:26:25.239 he does get, even it's only by a slight margin, 1843 01:26:25.279 --> 01:26:27.319 because we know the Broncos like to, you know, spread 1844 01:26:27.319 --> 01:26:29.319 the love between all their players, and the fact that 1845 01:26:29.359 --> 01:26:32.159 Champagne's not calling plays either it's gonna be Davis Webb 1846 01:26:32.239 --> 01:26:35.680 doing it this year does help me or it reminds 1847 01:26:35.680 --> 01:26:37.239 me to like stay a little bit more open to 1848 01:26:37.279 --> 01:26:40.399 Denver Broncos players, because usually Cheon Payne just does everything 1849 01:26:40.439 --> 01:26:42.760 to like piss us off and fantasy like oh I'm 1850 01:26:42.800 --> 01:26:44.760 gonna tag this guy my joker and then to screw 1851 01:26:44.800 --> 01:26:47.840 everybody over and not actually use it at all. So 1852 01:26:48.319 --> 01:26:51.239 maybe with Davis webcoms shots we get maybe more of 1853 01:26:51.239 --> 01:26:54.520 a little bit more concentrated offense, but that remains to 1854 01:26:54.520 --> 01:26:54.880 be seen. 1855 01:26:55.680 --> 01:26:59.680 I I know this team did not make the playoffs 1856 01:26:59.680 --> 01:27:04.520 slash year, but they have been a stalwart in the 1857 01:27:04.560 --> 01:27:09.439 AFC for many many years with Lamar Jackson and Jackson, 1858 01:27:09.479 --> 01:27:11.720 by the way, probably a big catalyst of why they 1859 01:27:11.760 --> 01:27:14.159 did not make the playoffs last year, not necessarily because 1860 01:27:14.159 --> 01:27:17.520 of the performance, but because of injury, hobbling around, not 1861 01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:19.800 being the Lamar Jackson that we have seen in years 1862 01:27:19.800 --> 01:27:25.399 before this year, they they seem to be loaded for 1863 01:27:25.479 --> 01:27:29.640 bear in that division. It seems to me that Lamar 1864 01:27:29.800 --> 01:27:33.199 Jackson should have a big bounce back year. And they 1865 01:27:33.199 --> 01:27:35.840 got a lot younger too. You think about Hiddener and 1866 01:27:36.079 --> 01:27:38.199 it was a Quavis was the other tight end that 1867 01:27:38.199 --> 01:27:41.399 they had drafted. And then the receivers Jacobe Lane, Elijah 1868 01:27:41.439 --> 01:27:44.319 Surat all of a sudden, the Ravens skill position players 1869 01:27:44.319 --> 01:27:47.680 are a lot younger. There are many players out there, 1870 01:27:47.680 --> 01:27:52.439 many fantasy players myself included Andrew, that have been fading 1871 01:27:52.479 --> 01:27:55.159 Derrick Henry to our own detriment, and I feel like 1872 01:27:55.239 --> 01:27:57.720 Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad, you know the meme, like 1873 01:27:57.760 --> 01:28:00.479 he can't keep getting away with this, and yet Dereck 1874 01:28:00.560 --> 01:28:04.119 Henry gets away with it every single year. At some point, 1875 01:28:04.159 --> 01:28:06.359 it's not going to be there for him. And I 1876 01:28:06.439 --> 01:28:09.560 don't necessarily think he's the type of player where he 1877 01:28:09.720 --> 01:28:12.680 just falls right off the cliff. I think we might 1878 01:28:12.800 --> 01:28:16.479 see a season where it there might be a gradual 1879 01:28:16.520 --> 01:28:18.600 season and then a cliff season. We haven't seen the 1880 01:28:18.600 --> 01:28:21.199 gradual season yet, it could be this year. And if 1881 01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:24.359 it is, and the Ravens are still getting back to 1882 01:28:24.399 --> 01:28:27.800 respectability in the playoffs, wouldn't you think that a huge 1883 01:28:28.079 --> 01:28:30.960 reason why they get back to that level of success 1884 01:28:31.640 --> 01:28:35.560 is one Za Flowers, a player who's never lived on touchdowns. 1885 01:28:35.760 --> 01:28:37.840 Quite frankly, I don't know if his body is built 1886 01:28:37.960 --> 01:28:41.319 for a lot of touchdowns. But he does get a 1887 01:28:41.359 --> 01:28:43.279 lot of catches, he does get a lot of targets, 1888 01:28:43.399 --> 01:28:45.760 he does get a lot of yardage. Is he a 1889 01:28:45.960 --> 01:28:49.479 must have for you this year as wide receiver? Seventeen 1890 01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:52.479 at the four to h four in Big Gula drafts. 1891 01:28:52.880 --> 01:28:54.640 Yes, he is a must have. 1892 01:28:54.840 --> 01:28:57.800 I would say Jay Flowers is probably my flag plant 1893 01:28:57.920 --> 01:29:00.520 player if we're not talking about aj Brown twenty twenty 1894 01:29:00.520 --> 01:29:03.600 six fantasy football season. I think that he has just 1895 01:29:03.680 --> 01:29:06.359 shown throughout three years of his NFL career a lot 1896 01:29:06.479 --> 01:29:09.920 of checking the boxes. Last year yards Parah run who 1897 01:29:09.960 --> 01:29:13.079 was better than Zay Flowers, Hukinnakua and Jacksmith and Jigbob 1898 01:29:13.439 --> 01:29:15.119 those were the two guys and where are they being 1899 01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:18.039 drafted in fantasy drafts inside the top three wide receivers. 1900 01:29:18.399 --> 01:29:21.279 He has the talent, I think to be in that 1901 01:29:21.319 --> 01:29:25.359 conversation with those particular players. I'm not denying that. We 1902 01:29:25.439 --> 01:29:27.439 know he has a quarterback that can throw a ton 1903 01:29:27.479 --> 01:29:29.399 of touchdowns. Lamar Jackson has done it before. He's one 1904 01:29:29.439 --> 01:29:32.239 of the highest passing touchdown rates in NFL history. So 1905 01:29:32.439 --> 01:29:35.439 it's not more well his touchdowns Ward Grass, No, like 1906 01:29:35.520 --> 01:29:38.039 he's more than capable of doing it. I think that 1907 01:29:38.159 --> 01:29:41.319 Jay Flowers is eons above every other receiver on this roster. 1908 01:29:41.359 --> 01:29:42.920 I know he liked some of the rookies they drafted, 1909 01:29:42.960 --> 01:29:44.920 but at this point, I think Mark Andrews is kind 1910 01:29:44.920 --> 01:29:46.640 of cooked. I think that the Ravens made a big 1911 01:29:46.680 --> 01:29:49.640 mistake by not bringing back Isaiah likely in extending Mark 1912 01:29:49.680 --> 01:29:52.600 Andrews instead, And I think they're just bringing a new 1913 01:29:52.600 --> 01:29:55.119 offensive coordinator in Declan Doyle at least opens up the 1914 01:29:55.199 --> 01:29:57.520 possibilities that they use. They do use A Flowers a 1915 01:29:57.520 --> 01:30:00.199 little bit more in the red zone. He to me, 1916 01:30:00.520 --> 01:30:02.439 is someone that can create a lot of explosive plays. 1917 01:30:02.439 --> 01:30:04.159 And one thing I want to note too about Jasn 1918 01:30:04.199 --> 01:30:06.319 and how special his season was last year, he how 1919 01:30:06.319 --> 01:30:08.760 did he achieve it was with an elite target chair 1920 01:30:09.000 --> 01:30:11.600 and elite efficiency. Those are two things A Flowers can 1921 01:30:11.600 --> 01:30:14.920 definitely have. But JSN last year also didn't have this 1922 01:30:15.039 --> 01:30:17.159 Like he had a good red zone role, but he 1923 01:30:17.279 --> 01:30:19.399 wasn't always the main red zone guy. He was actually 1924 01:30:19.399 --> 01:30:23.359 the first receiver. Talking about receivers, because what I usually 1925 01:30:23.359 --> 01:30:25.359 gravitate towards when I'm looking at who could be the 1926 01:30:25.399 --> 01:30:28.439 wide receiver one overall is the wide receiver one overall. 1927 01:30:28.680 --> 01:30:32.159 Six of the last seven Fantasy seasons has been the 1928 01:30:32.239 --> 01:30:34.920 leader in red zone targets. Last year was an outlier, 1929 01:30:35.079 --> 01:30:38.359 like JSN and Pukuinakua were not the main red zone 1930 01:30:38.359 --> 01:30:40.920 guys in the NFL last year was obviously Demonte Adams, 1931 01:30:40.920 --> 01:30:43.560 who had basically every single red zone target for every 1932 01:30:43.880 --> 01:30:46.840 for the Rams all year long, and then Jasn was 1933 01:30:46.840 --> 01:30:48.880 more middle of the pack, but he was still able 1934 01:30:48.920 --> 01:30:51.920 to be a top one, top two wide receiver overall 1935 01:30:52.279 --> 01:30:56.600 because of elite efficiency and explosive plays. What does A 1936 01:30:56.680 --> 01:30:59.560 Flowers do? Generate a lot of explosive plays? And I 1937 01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:01.479 was one of the first thing Decklan Doyle mentioned about 1938 01:31:01.640 --> 01:31:03.640 when he became the offense accordion for the Ravens was 1939 01:31:03.760 --> 01:31:06.640 we want to generate explosives. So I think with A Flowers, 1940 01:31:07.239 --> 01:31:09.079 even if he's not seeing a ton of red zone work, 1941 01:31:09.600 --> 01:31:11.319 I think that maybe it's just hey, well he's gonna 1942 01:31:11.319 --> 01:31:13.359 score a lot of touchdowns from outside the red zone. 1943 01:31:13.399 --> 01:31:15.800 I have one of those special outlier seasons where he 1944 01:31:15.880 --> 01:31:17.560 rips off a thirty yard touchdown, he rips off a 1945 01:31:17.560 --> 01:31:19.520 fifty yard touchdown because I know that it's in his 1946 01:31:19.600 --> 01:31:21.359 range of outcomes because of the player that he is 1947 01:31:21.800 --> 01:31:22.399 coming out. 1948 01:31:22.800 --> 01:31:26.439 He was a guy that I comped to Antonio Brown. 1949 01:31:26.840 --> 01:31:28.640 I thought that he looked a lot like Antonio Brown, 1950 01:31:28.680 --> 01:31:31.039 a little bit undersized, but just I thought that what 1951 01:31:31.119 --> 01:31:32.600 he could do it with the ball in his hands 1952 01:31:33.039 --> 01:31:36.840 was spectacular, great route runner, and if you look at 1953 01:31:36.840 --> 01:31:41.720 Antonio Brown season logs year four, dude went absolutely nuclear. 1954 01:31:42.079 --> 01:31:43.520 And I think that that's in the in the range 1955 01:31:43.520 --> 01:31:45.199 of outcomes for a Flowers. 1956 01:31:47.439 --> 01:31:49.239 That gets it because I have Za Flowers on a 1957 01:31:49.279 --> 01:31:52.439 decent number of my Dynasty teams. And if that happens 1958 01:31:52.439 --> 01:31:54.840 this year where he does just bust out a double random, 1959 01:31:54.840 --> 01:31:57.640 double digit touchdown season, my god, not only could that 1960 01:31:57.720 --> 01:31:59.920 lead you to championships this year, but he might be 1961 01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:03.479 interesting player that you could get a boatload for him 1962 01:32:03.520 --> 01:32:06.840 after the season as well. We move on to San Francisco. 1963 01:32:06.880 --> 01:32:09.000 We go back to San Francisco's after we were talking with 1964 01:32:09.039 --> 01:32:13.600 Brandon Aiyuk earlier and George Kittle earlier. Mike Evans, I 1965 01:32:13.640 --> 01:32:16.640 mean Andrew wide receiver twenty five at the five oh seven, 1966 01:32:17.039 --> 01:32:18.920 I'm scratching my head and I'm trying to think the 1967 01:32:19.000 --> 01:32:22.680 last time I've seen an ADP this low on Mike Evans. 1968 01:32:23.439 --> 01:32:25.520 I don't know if there's ever been an ADP this 1969 01:32:25.600 --> 01:32:28.079 low on Evans, even when he was a rookie, where 1970 01:32:28.079 --> 01:32:32.079 he's slipping behind Jalen Waddle, DJ Moore, Luther Burden, Terry 1971 01:32:32.159 --> 01:32:35.760 McLaurin and he goes to San Francisco. Now a player 1972 01:32:35.800 --> 01:32:39.359 that I think fits their offense well and an archetype 1973 01:32:39.399 --> 01:32:43.319 that they really haven't had in that offense in several years, 1974 01:32:43.359 --> 01:32:47.159 maybe ever with Kyle Shanahan. There is Mike Evans a 1975 01:32:47.359 --> 01:32:50.199 must have for you when you consider you can get 1976 01:32:50.239 --> 01:32:52.600 him in the mid fifth round right now, my friend. 1977 01:32:53.359 --> 01:32:55.159 I think so for me, because I think he's just 1978 01:32:55.199 --> 01:32:58.079 gonna catch so many touchdowns in this offense. I think 1979 01:32:58.119 --> 01:33:00.840 that's what he was built for this offense and what 1980 01:33:00.880 --> 01:33:04.119 he's going to do. I don't think that he will 1981 01:33:04.119 --> 01:33:05.880 we necessarily get back to a thousand yards. I think 1982 01:33:05.920 --> 01:33:09.039 that's maybe where people are pressing pause on drafting him 1983 01:33:09.039 --> 01:33:10.840 too aggressively, because I do think that this is a 1984 01:33:10.840 --> 01:33:13.800 player that could start the season out really really hot, 1985 01:33:14.119 --> 01:33:16.319 on a hot streak. I think that he could have 1986 01:33:16.359 --> 01:33:19.279 a very DeVante adams S type of season where maybe 1987 01:33:19.319 --> 01:33:21.399 he's not even the leading receiver on his own team, 1988 01:33:21.760 --> 01:33:25.039 but the touchdown equity he has I think is really 1989 01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:28.199 real and a player that I think if you draft him, 1990 01:33:28.239 --> 01:33:30.680 especially in redraft leagues, after the first month, you're gonna 1991 01:33:30.720 --> 01:33:32.720 be really happy. Had Mike Evans on your roster and 1992 01:33:32.760 --> 01:33:35.880 then maybe you consider flipping him and moving away from because. 1993 01:33:35.640 --> 01:33:38.319 You know eventually hamstring injury is gonna come. 1994 01:33:38.439 --> 01:33:40.359 It's gonna show up at some point because it's it's 1995 01:33:40.399 --> 01:33:42.600 annual every single year, it's gonna get after him. So 1996 01:33:43.039 --> 01:33:45.600 I do understand why there's some pause on Mike Evans. 1997 01:33:45.680 --> 01:33:47.720 But when I look at just like the opening schedule 1998 01:33:47.760 --> 01:33:50.119 for the for the forty nine ers, I think he 1999 01:33:50.159 --> 01:33:52.199 can have a really big impact, especially if George Kittle 2000 01:33:52.279 --> 01:33:54.560 is not back, which we talked about earlier at the 2001 01:33:54.560 --> 01:33:56.800 start of the show, where I think he's more likely 2002 01:33:57.000 --> 01:33:58.760 miss time to start the year. I think that's where 2003 01:33:58.760 --> 01:33:59.960 Mike Evans can really eat and face. 2004 01:34:01.079 --> 01:34:04.119 Do you do you recall a rookie season like a 2005 01:34:04.199 --> 01:34:08.279 mecca at Buka Andrew when you think about how white 2006 01:34:08.319 --> 01:34:10.840 hot he got out of the gate and then seemingly 2007 01:34:10.880 --> 01:34:12.640 and I know he got injuries played a role into 2008 01:34:12.720 --> 01:34:15.800 it as well, but he really trickled down to where 2009 01:34:15.840 --> 01:34:19.039 he was giving you nothing during the championship weeks, the 2010 01:34:19.079 --> 01:34:21.760 championship sprand of the Big Gorilla in the main event 2011 01:34:21.840 --> 01:34:25.079 last year, and now you know what do we do 2012 01:34:25.199 --> 01:34:28.760 with him? In drafts? Well, FFPC players are taking him 2013 01:34:28.840 --> 01:34:31.920 one slot above Za Flowers. Right now, he's wide receiver 2014 01:34:32.039 --> 01:34:35.560 sixteen at the four h three. Certainly he doesn't have 2015 01:34:35.600 --> 01:34:37.880 to contend with Mike Evans this year, although we've heard 2016 01:34:37.920 --> 01:34:42.159 some really positive reports about Chris Godwin lately. Jalen McMillan's there, 2017 01:34:42.159 --> 01:34:45.239 and they drafted Ted Hurst, not necessarily thinking that either 2018 01:34:45.279 --> 01:34:48.479 of those guys are going to usurp at Buka's role. 2019 01:34:48.840 --> 01:34:51.159 But I do think it's worth talking about how much 2020 01:34:51.239 --> 01:34:55.039 they eat in to volume and targets for Agbuca this year. 2021 01:34:55.520 --> 01:34:57.680 Is he a must have at the four h three 2022 01:34:57.680 --> 01:34:58.920 at wide receiver sixteen. 2023 01:35:00.039 --> 01:35:02.279 He's definitely a player that I want to draft more 2024 01:35:02.319 --> 01:35:07.119 of because to your point about how the beginning of 2025 01:35:07.119 --> 01:35:08.680 the season was so great for him and then he 2026 01:35:08.720 --> 01:35:10.119 fell off in the second half of the season, when 2027 01:35:10.159 --> 01:35:12.199 I think it's easy to justify why he fell off. 2028 01:35:12.439 --> 01:35:15.359 He got hurt, His quarterback was clearly hurt. The Buccaneers 2029 01:35:15.359 --> 01:35:18.640 offense was a freaking mess basically from like Week ten onward. 2030 01:35:19.000 --> 01:35:22.840 So I think that we want to acknowledge the high 2031 01:35:22.960 --> 01:35:25.840 highs from EGNCA at Buka. He had a rookie breakout, 2032 01:35:26.000 --> 01:35:27.760 even though I mean because it was so good. In 2033 01:35:27.800 --> 01:35:29.520 the beginning of the year, he was a runaway favorite 2034 01:35:29.560 --> 01:35:32.399 for Rookie of the Year. It was locked and loaded, 2035 01:35:32.399 --> 01:35:34.880 he's gonna win this award, and then he didn't because 2036 01:35:35.000 --> 01:35:36.960 things just fell off so dramatically, And I think it's interesting. 2037 01:35:36.960 --> 01:35:38.520 We talked about this some one of the Fantasy Pro. 2038 01:35:38.439 --> 01:35:42.760 Shows where at Buka it seems like the rhetoric around 2039 01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:45.600 him is boom or bust, like he was so boomed 2040 01:35:45.600 --> 01:35:46.600 to start the year and then he was just a 2041 01:35:46.680 --> 01:35:49.039 total bust to end the year. When coming out of 2042 01:35:49.039 --> 01:35:52.880 Ohio State, what was at BUKA known for it was, Oh, 2043 01:35:52.960 --> 01:35:54.960 this guy's gonna have a super high floor, like he's 2044 01:35:54.960 --> 01:35:57.319 just gonna catch a hundred balls. Maybe not be the 2045 01:35:57.319 --> 01:35:59.640 flashiest guy, but he's gonna be super consistent, which was 2046 01:35:59.840 --> 01:36:03.159 not like what actually happened is Rookie Year. If anything, 2047 01:36:03.239 --> 01:36:06.039 I'm more encouraged that he did flash the ceiling, like 2048 01:36:06.079 --> 01:36:08.279 that's what I was more concerned about, because i know 2049 01:36:08.319 --> 01:36:11.119 the floor is eventually going to be there, so I'm 2050 01:36:11.119 --> 01:36:13.359 not concerned about the fall off in the second half 2051 01:36:13.399 --> 01:36:15.880 of the season. I'm just happy that he flashed the 2052 01:36:15.880 --> 01:36:17.319 ceiling because i know there's going to be a floor 2053 01:36:17.319 --> 01:36:20.439 with him. So I think like Buka is a player 2054 01:36:20.439 --> 01:36:23.000 that Drafters should be going after, and he's someone that 2055 01:36:23.000 --> 01:36:24.640 I have to probably move up in my rankings to 2056 01:36:24.720 --> 01:36:27.720 kind of catch up with ADP because I don't disagree. 2057 01:36:27.960 --> 01:36:30.399 I think that's a really strong case for a Buka 2058 01:36:30.479 --> 01:36:32.800 to take a major second year leap, and I know 2059 01:36:32.880 --> 01:36:35.560 that he is also being drafted close to Luther Burden. 2060 01:36:35.960 --> 01:36:38.079 I'm taking a buco over Burden for sure. 2061 01:36:38.640 --> 01:36:41.600 The next player I want to talk about, and I apologize. 2062 01:36:41.640 --> 01:36:43.920 I want to do some segues between him, but we're 2063 01:36:44.000 --> 01:36:46.039 running short on time, and you've been so great, Andrew. 2064 01:36:46.079 --> 01:36:47.840 I want to keep picking your brain on these players, 2065 01:36:48.119 --> 01:36:50.960 Lad McConkie, and we'll get into Herbert in a second. 2066 01:36:51.319 --> 01:36:53.600 But if we were too sort of because it seems 2067 01:36:53.640 --> 01:36:56.880 like there's a lot of pass catchers in Los Angeles 2068 01:36:56.960 --> 01:36:59.520 that we're very excited about, or we're very excited about 2069 01:36:59.520 --> 01:37:02.640 the Los Angeeli's passing offense this year, but who to 2070 01:37:02.680 --> 01:37:05.880 be excited about among the pass catchers With McConkie and 2071 01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:10.920 Johnston and Trey Harris and Djoku and Bronde, Gadsden and 2072 01:37:10.960 --> 01:37:14.039 Omari and Hampton, there's all these guys out there. Your 2073 01:37:14.079 --> 01:37:18.119 thoughts on McConkie being a must have right now. He's 2074 01:37:18.279 --> 01:37:20.880 sort of in that Zay Flowers at Buca area, although 2075 01:37:20.880 --> 01:37:23.279 he's going a little bit after him wide receiver nineteen 2076 01:37:23.319 --> 01:37:26.840 at the four h seven Baffo Huge rookie year took 2077 01:37:26.840 --> 01:37:28.520 a little bit of a step back last year. I 2078 01:37:28.560 --> 01:37:32.079 would imagine that the true McConkie lies somewhere in between 2079 01:37:32.079 --> 01:37:32.520 those years. 2080 01:37:32.600 --> 01:37:35.720 Right well, I hope it is much closer to his 2081 01:37:35.800 --> 01:37:37.680 rookie year than what was last year, because last year 2082 01:37:37.720 --> 01:37:41.600 was a disaster and I think that I wasn't alone 2083 01:37:41.680 --> 01:37:44.800 in rushing off Keenan Allen as oh well, this guy's 2084 01:37:44.840 --> 01:37:46.600 not going to be involved that much, Like he's not 2085 01:37:46.640 --> 01:37:48.720 going to take away lads targets, and he led the 2086 01:37:48.720 --> 01:37:52.760 team at targets last year, so that is a big deal. 2087 01:37:53.520 --> 01:37:55.600 Right now he's on the roster. I know the GM 2088 01:37:55.640 --> 01:37:57.560 has kind of flirted with, oh yeah, like we can 2089 01:37:57.600 --> 01:37:59.479 bring keen Allen back. I really like him, and that's 2090 01:37:59.560 --> 01:38:02.680 kind of disaster outcome where we have to run this 2091 01:38:02.760 --> 01:38:05.800 offense back again with Keenan Allen potentially vacuum up a 2092 01:38:05.840 --> 01:38:08.119 ton of targets, especially on third downs where that's where 2093 01:38:08.119 --> 01:38:11.199 you're hoping the lad can really carve out a good, 2094 01:38:11.600 --> 01:38:13.840 good chemistry with Justin Herbert in year three. 2095 01:38:14.319 --> 01:38:15.960 Just really excited about this offense overall. 2096 01:38:16.079 --> 01:38:18.600 I just think that lab McConkie fits what Mike McDaniel 2097 01:38:18.680 --> 01:38:21.279 really does well. He puts his wide receivers in positions 2098 01:38:21.319 --> 01:38:23.359 to succeed. We did it with Tyreek Hill, we did 2099 01:38:23.399 --> 01:38:25.600 with Jamn Wattle. I always remember when I would look 2100 01:38:25.600 --> 01:38:28.520 at those guys in their route participation, it was never, Oh, 2101 01:38:28.560 --> 01:38:30.239 these guys are running a hundred percent of the routes. No, 2102 01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:32.760 it's these guys are running seventy sixty five percent of 2103 01:38:32.760 --> 01:38:35.479 the routes. But every time they run a route there's 2104 01:38:36.039 --> 01:38:38.000 a reason behind it, and it's to give them the 2105 01:38:38.000 --> 01:38:40.600 football and for them to be super super efficient. So 2106 01:38:41.000 --> 01:38:43.960 I think Laddy gets back to his rookie year, closer 2107 01:38:43.960 --> 01:38:46.000 to his rookie year when he was I think top 2108 01:38:46.039 --> 01:38:49.680 ten in yards per route run, very very impressive. I 2109 01:38:49.800 --> 01:38:51.520 like Lad a lot this year, like Justin Herbert a 2110 01:38:51.520 --> 01:38:53.960 lot this year. So it's a stack that I'm definitely 2111 01:38:53.960 --> 01:38:55.079 trying to draft. 2112 01:38:55.560 --> 01:38:59.319 Yeah, I just traded Dave Koogie actually from football guys. 2113 01:38:59.319 --> 01:39:01.520 I'm in a dynasty league with him. I just traded 2114 01:39:01.520 --> 01:39:05.439 at twenty twenty seven first in Ty Simpson for Justin Herbert, 2115 01:39:05.479 --> 01:39:08.079 which as super flex leagues, which I'm very excited about 2116 01:39:08.079 --> 01:39:10.960 to see what happens. Dave is kind of like he's 2117 01:39:11.000 --> 01:39:12.880 going for the one oh one next year, who's acquiring 2118 01:39:12.920 --> 01:39:15.720 all this first round draft capital, which he's doing a 2119 01:39:15.720 --> 01:39:18.760 good job of two by the way, but Herbert, I'm 2120 01:39:18.800 --> 01:39:20.920 excited to have Lamar Jackson in that league as well, 2121 01:39:20.960 --> 01:39:23.079 so to roll those two guys out every week is 2122 01:39:23.079 --> 01:39:25.239 gonna be a lot of fun. We moved the tight 2123 01:39:25.319 --> 01:39:27.960 end here, a player I had just drafted in another 2124 01:39:27.960 --> 01:39:32.479 one of my leagues, probably because I knew that I 2125 01:39:32.560 --> 01:39:34.359 knew some of the guys that were drafting on the 2126 01:39:34.520 --> 01:39:36.720 end of that and I knew Likely wasn't making it 2127 01:39:36.760 --> 01:39:39.760 back to me, and so I decided to take him. 2128 01:39:39.960 --> 01:39:42.520 He was like tight end nine, tight end ten or whatever. 2129 01:39:43.079 --> 01:39:47.199 Dude with this neighbor stuff and Darius Slayton recovering from 2130 01:39:47.239 --> 01:39:51.319 surgery and them signing three off the street free agents 2131 01:39:51.399 --> 01:39:54.359 in the same day, I feel really good about Likely. 2132 01:39:55.039 --> 01:39:58.439 I can't remember what giants beed reporter it was, but 2133 01:39:59.399 --> 01:40:01.800 they said that it looked like in Ota is the 2134 01:40:01.840 --> 01:40:03.920 top two pass catchers in New York were the two 2135 01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:07.479 tight ends in Likely and Theo Johnson. Now that's obviously 2136 01:40:07.479 --> 01:40:10.439 without Neighbors on the field, but Likely was the guy 2137 01:40:10.479 --> 01:40:13.079 he listed first. This is a guy you know with 2138 01:40:13.159 --> 01:40:15.840 tight ends. You mentioned it in the first hour. You're 2139 01:40:15.880 --> 01:40:17.760 looking for ways where these guys can get a lot 2140 01:40:17.800 --> 01:40:21.319 of volume, and certainly Likely is a player that might 2141 01:40:21.399 --> 01:40:23.920 be the number two pass catcher on this team even 2142 01:40:23.920 --> 01:40:25.000 when Neighbors is healthy. 2143 01:40:26.840 --> 01:40:28.600 Such a good pick right now. 2144 01:40:29.359 --> 01:40:32.680 The path relevance is so clear, even if he's the 2145 01:40:32.760 --> 01:40:34.960 number two guy when my Leagueighbors comes back. Like you said, 2146 01:40:36.039 --> 01:40:39.359 John Harbaugh, is the biggest Isaiah Likely stand that there 2147 01:40:39.439 --> 01:40:43.199 might be. And that matters a lot because tight end, 2148 01:40:43.279 --> 01:40:45.399 we know it comes down to usage. It's not necessarily 2149 01:40:45.399 --> 01:40:48.920 about talent because of how the score Fantasy points. 2150 01:40:48.960 --> 01:40:49.880 You need to be on the field and you need 2151 01:40:49.920 --> 01:40:50.600 to be running routes. 2152 01:40:51.239 --> 01:40:53.319 I think that the way that they signed him to 2153 01:40:53.399 --> 01:40:56.039 this big contract that it's the same head coach that 2154 01:40:56.600 --> 01:40:59.359 last year before or entering his contract year, John Harbot 2155 01:40:59.359 --> 01:41:01.720 talked about Isaiah Likely as Yeah, this guy has. 2156 01:41:01.560 --> 01:41:02.880 An all pro type ceiling. 2157 01:41:03.680 --> 01:41:06.800 Tight Ends often break out on their second teams and 2158 01:41:06.880 --> 01:41:09.560 We've already seen the ceiling from Likely in games where 2159 01:41:09.560 --> 01:41:12.159 Mark Andrews has missed. Last year, he was the one 2160 01:41:12.159 --> 01:41:13.479 that was injured, and Mark Andrews is the one that 2161 01:41:13.479 --> 01:41:15.760 stayed healthy, so Likely never really got going. And to 2162 01:41:16.039 --> 01:41:19.239 insult to injury, how many touchdowns did the debt didn't 2163 01:41:19.279 --> 01:41:21.800 count for Isaiah Likely last year? Where he's like at 2164 01:41:21.800 --> 01:41:23.760 the one yard line and he fumbles the ball or 2165 01:41:23.760 --> 01:41:25.880 he drops the ball or his foots out about like 2166 01:41:26.239 --> 01:41:29.560 just that could consistently happen just to frustrate the heck 2167 01:41:29.800 --> 01:41:33.000 out of Isaiah Likely managers. But I think that wheels 2168 01:41:33.039 --> 01:41:36.399 are up all the way for Likely this particular season 2169 01:41:36.479 --> 01:41:38.479 with Harbaugh as the head coach of the Giants, with 2170 01:41:38.560 --> 01:41:40.600 neighbors banged up, he could be the number one got 2171 01:41:40.600 --> 01:41:42.520 to start the year and then have a role as 2172 01:41:42.520 --> 01:41:44.960 the number two as the season progresses. We're excited about 2173 01:41:45.000 --> 01:41:47.600 Jackson dart and during his second season. Don't love Matt 2174 01:41:47.640 --> 01:41:49.479 n Aggie to be honest, don't think that he's the 2175 01:41:49.520 --> 01:41:52.239 greatest offensive mind. I don't love the offensive coaches they 2176 01:41:52.279 --> 01:41:54.520 haven't placed there. But I think Isaiah Likely at least 2177 01:41:54.600 --> 01:41:56.720 is gonna get enough routes, get enough targets to be 2178 01:41:56.800 --> 01:41:58.479 a fantasy tight end one this season. 2179 01:41:59.439 --> 01:42:02.479 Isaiah like tight end ten in the Big Gorilla over 2180 01:42:02.520 --> 01:42:05.479 the last five days, right in front of Travis Kelcey, 2181 01:42:05.560 --> 01:42:07.880 right behind George Kittle. So he's still going as a 2182 01:42:07.920 --> 01:42:10.239 top ten tight end. But yeah, I'm I'm with you, man. 2183 01:42:10.279 --> 01:42:12.960 I feel like I should have been drafting him more 2184 01:42:13.039 --> 01:42:15.279 early on, but now his ADP is climbing and it's 2185 01:42:15.520 --> 01:42:17.319 difficult to get him at the price you got him 2186 01:42:17.479 --> 01:42:20.720 a couple of months ago. Chicka Conquo, we talked about 2187 01:42:20.760 --> 01:42:25.560 the Washington pass catchers. This is another player that again 2188 01:42:25.760 --> 01:42:28.399 could be the number two pass catcher there. I know 2189 01:42:28.439 --> 01:42:30.640 there are people out there, the haters if you will, 2190 01:42:30.800 --> 01:42:32.760 that will say if Okonko is any good, he would 2191 01:42:32.760 --> 01:42:35.359 have shown us in Tennessee. He didn't, and now he's 2192 01:42:35.399 --> 01:42:39.199 in Washington. He gets to catch passes from Jane Daniels Man. 2193 01:42:39.239 --> 01:42:42.439 If they don't sign Ayuk or Stefan Diggs or Keenan 2194 01:42:42.439 --> 01:42:45.359 Allen and they go to battle with Antonio Williams as 2195 01:42:45.399 --> 01:42:48.119 their number two wide receiver. Chicka Conko might turn out 2196 01:42:48.159 --> 01:42:50.039 to be a nice pick. I don't know about must 2197 01:42:50.079 --> 01:42:52.239 have Andrew, but might turn out to be a nice 2198 01:42:52.239 --> 01:42:55.439 pick this year if the commander's roster stays the way 2199 01:42:55.479 --> 01:42:58.720 it is at this point. All the way up to Week. 2200 01:42:58.560 --> 01:43:01.520 One, people are coming out Chickakonko for not being good 2201 01:43:01.560 --> 01:43:06.159 on the Titans. With Will Levis as the quarterback who 2202 01:43:06.239 --> 01:43:10.920 has been good on the Titans the last four years. 2203 01:43:10.960 --> 01:43:13.000 It's a short list. It's a very short list. 2204 01:43:16.319 --> 01:43:19.960 Chicka coon Kuo had an exceptional rookie season. He led 2205 01:43:20.199 --> 01:43:22.439 the entire NFL a tight end in yards out to 2206 01:43:22.479 --> 01:43:27.399 the catch perception, and then he got, what's the right 2207 01:43:27.439 --> 01:43:30.600 way to describe this, he got screwed because the minute 2208 01:43:30.600 --> 01:43:32.720 after he had a breakout rookie year, he was like 2209 01:43:32.840 --> 01:43:35.359 the late round tight end Jore entering his second season. 2210 01:43:35.560 --> 01:43:38.760 And what did the Titans do? They signed DeAndre Hopkins right. 2211 01:43:38.840 --> 01:43:39.840 It ruined everything. 2212 01:43:40.319 --> 01:43:43.600 So I think that A Konkuo did as much as 2213 01:43:43.600 --> 01:43:47.319 he possibly could last three seasons fifty plus catches, has 2214 01:43:47.319 --> 01:43:50.640 missed zero games in his NFL career, played all seventeen 2215 01:43:50.680 --> 01:43:53.680 games all four years in Tennessee. So I think that 2216 01:43:53.760 --> 01:43:55.439 he's not getting enough credit for what he was able 2217 01:43:55.479 --> 01:43:57.640 to do in Tennessee despite the fact that it was 2218 01:43:57.680 --> 01:44:00.680 always a bad quarterback situation, every single who was bad 2219 01:44:00.760 --> 01:44:03.760 quarterback situation, So what is he supposed to do? I 2220 01:44:03.800 --> 01:44:07.319 think that getting Jane Daniels is an immediate upgrade. Who 2221 01:44:07.399 --> 01:44:09.359 was getting Pepper with targets last year in this offense. 2222 01:44:09.640 --> 01:44:12.199 Zach Ertz forty five year old zach Ertz who's never 2223 01:44:12.199 --> 01:44:15.119 broken a tackle in his entire life. Now that titan 2224 01:44:15.159 --> 01:44:17.159 gets replaced with Chicka cong Quo, who is at breaking 2225 01:44:17.199 --> 01:44:21.439 tackle machine. Thirty yards after the catch per reception last year, 2226 01:44:21.760 --> 01:44:23.439 first in that category as a rookie. 2227 01:44:23.560 --> 01:44:24.319 He's got juice. 2228 01:44:24.680 --> 01:44:26.960 Yards after the catch is something that I love to 2229 01:44:27.000 --> 01:44:28.960 cite when it comes to tight ends. Eric, I don't 2230 01:44:29.000 --> 01:44:30.920 know if I talked about Tucker Craft on this show 2231 01:44:30.960 --> 01:44:32.880 when I came on last year. I really hope that 2232 01:44:32.960 --> 01:44:35.239 I did. But that's why I like Tucker Craft so 2233 01:44:35.319 --> 01:44:37.800 much the last couple of years is because this dude's 2234 01:44:37.840 --> 01:44:39.479 a monster with the ball in his hands. And I 2235 01:44:39.520 --> 01:44:42.720 think that Chicka con Quo has shown that same type 2236 01:44:42.760 --> 01:44:46.640 of ability as a Yak monster given the lack of 2237 01:44:46.920 --> 01:44:49.399 established weapons behind Terry McLaurin, who I don't think is 2238 01:44:49.439 --> 01:44:52.079 like a true alpha alpha. He's a good number one, 2239 01:44:52.319 --> 01:44:54.640 but not like a Justin Jefferson Malik neighbor type of 2240 01:44:54.680 --> 01:44:57.720 thirty percent target share guy. I think Chicka con Quo 2241 01:44:58.000 --> 01:45:00.840 is another great late round type pick, and I like 2242 01:45:00.920 --> 01:45:02.920 pairing him with another guy like you're gonna go with 2243 01:45:03.439 --> 01:45:06.680 Isaiah like me late then draft Chicka Congo too. Draft 2244 01:45:06.760 --> 01:45:09.439 Greg Dolsch and Chicka Konko. I like mixing and matching 2245 01:45:09.439 --> 01:45:10.880 some of these late round guys because I think there's 2246 01:45:10.880 --> 01:45:13.680 a lot of good options. Obviously, if they signed Stefon Diggs, 2247 01:45:13.840 --> 01:45:16.520 it just it sucks because it feels like the Deohondre 2248 01:45:16.600 --> 01:45:17.800 Hopkins thing all over again. 2249 01:45:17.840 --> 01:45:19.359 But the fact that they signed. 2250 01:45:19.119 --> 01:45:22.000 To a pretty strong free agent contract three years, twenty 2251 01:45:22.039 --> 01:45:25.479 seven million, I like Chicken Concho's odds to stay relevant 2252 01:45:25.479 --> 01:45:26.720 here in twenty twenty six. 2253 01:45:27.079 --> 01:45:27.279 Yeah. 2254 01:45:27.479 --> 01:45:30.760 To me, that contracts suggested that they believe that Sinat 2255 01:45:31.119 --> 01:45:33.640 Sinnet was not going to be the guy and and 2256 01:45:34.119 --> 01:45:36.600 Ertz was probably not in their in their plans in 2257 01:45:36.640 --> 01:45:38.840 the future, and and it just made perfect sense to 2258 01:45:38.840 --> 01:45:41.640 go out and get a guy that that can, you know, 2259 01:45:42.119 --> 01:45:45.079 be a competitive tight end with Jaden Daniels for the 2260 01:45:45.119 --> 01:45:47.239 next three years or four years or whatever. We'll go 2261 01:45:47.359 --> 01:45:49.680 rapid fire on these quarterbacks here tell me if any 2262 01:45:49.680 --> 01:45:51.800 of these guys are must haves for you, and I'm 2263 01:45:51.800 --> 01:45:55.239 gonna give you their ADP in the f FPC big 2264 01:45:55.239 --> 01:45:58.840 Gorilla here Andrew when I when I recite their names, 2265 01:45:59.560 --> 01:46:01.760 are any of these guys must haves for you? Caleb 2266 01:46:01.760 --> 01:46:08.159 Williams quarterback six nine o three, Brock Purty quarterback twelve 2267 01:46:08.520 --> 01:46:14.279 eleven oh seven, and cam Ward quarterback twenty three eighteen 2268 01:46:14.359 --> 01:46:14.760 oh one. 2269 01:46:15.920 --> 01:46:19.479 Yeah, I think that I'm right on the ADP with 2270 01:46:19.720 --> 01:46:22.800 both Ward and Caleb Williams. I do have Herbert ahead 2271 01:46:22.800 --> 01:46:25.439 of KILEB Williams, so that's the only distinction, So that 2272 01:46:25.439 --> 01:46:28.479 would make kill Williams not necessarily qualify, but I believe 2273 01:46:28.479 --> 01:46:30.560 in the upside with him this year. I'm not going 2274 01:46:30.640 --> 01:46:33.279 to diswuaye anyone away from drafting Caleb Willms again. He'sranked 2275 01:46:33.319 --> 01:46:36.319 back to back with Justin Herbert. I think he could 2276 01:46:36.319 --> 01:46:38.000 be the qpbone overall. I know that was one of 2277 01:46:38.039 --> 01:46:40.000 my Bowl predictions earlier this year. But when we're playing 2278 01:46:40.039 --> 01:46:42.119 the value game, which is what I usually like to do. 2279 01:46:42.159 --> 01:46:44.479 I mean, last year, did Drake Man was like the 2280 01:46:44.479 --> 01:46:48.600 easiest pick in Fantasy. It was just sometimes every year 2281 01:46:48.640 --> 01:46:50.119 you get just like really easy picks, you don't have 2282 01:46:50.159 --> 01:46:53.479 to overthink it. Rock Purty I think is a really 2283 01:46:53.479 --> 01:46:56.960 good value this year, particularly at the quarterback position. Look 2284 01:46:57.000 --> 01:46:59.800 at last season he was second in passing touchdowns per game, 2285 01:47:00.279 --> 01:47:03.319 behind only Matthew Stafford only played half a season because 2286 01:47:03.319 --> 01:47:05.520 he miss gained with his foot injury, but I still 2287 01:47:05.520 --> 01:47:07.680 think he has enough weapons to work with. I like 2288 01:47:07.760 --> 01:47:10.800 the forty nine ers opening schedule. They play the Rams 2289 01:47:10.800 --> 01:47:12.560 early New Year. Believe it's then the Dolphins and the 2290 01:47:12.600 --> 01:47:15.600 Cardinals I think is who they play. So a pretty 2291 01:47:15.640 --> 01:47:18.600 favorable schedule for the forty nine ers to start the year. 2292 01:47:18.960 --> 01:47:21.239 Maybe they start three to oh. I think that Brock 2293 01:47:21.239 --> 01:47:22.560 Prady can get it done. I think he's being just 2294 01:47:22.600 --> 01:47:25.199 a little bit undervalued at QB twelve I have as 2295 01:47:25.239 --> 01:47:27.840 a top ten guy. He's some of that I like, 2296 01:47:27.880 --> 01:47:30.159 but again, must have quarterbacks. I think Justin Herbert is 2297 01:47:30.159 --> 01:47:30.960 probably my favorite. 2298 01:47:31.880 --> 01:47:35.920 Rams, Dolphins, Cardinals, Broncos for right, nailed it for the Niners, 2299 01:47:35.920 --> 01:47:39.640 So good call there. You know, Jayden Daniels two years 2300 01:47:39.680 --> 01:47:42.399 ago was the Drake May of twenty twenty five. Drake 2301 01:47:42.439 --> 01:47:46.960 May obviously was the Jayden Daniels of twenty twenty four. Essentially, 2302 01:47:47.720 --> 01:47:49.920 is there one of those quarterbacks this year for you. 2303 01:47:52.199 --> 01:47:57.399 I think that Malik Willis honestly isn't getting enough love. 2304 01:47:58.039 --> 01:48:01.399 I get that the circumstance answers for him are terrible. 2305 01:48:01.640 --> 01:48:04.199 We already talked about all the Dolphins wide receivers. Even 2306 01:48:04.239 --> 01:48:05.760 though I do think that Greg Dolson is a little 2307 01:48:05.760 --> 01:48:07.319 bit better than people are give him credit for. If 2308 01:48:07.359 --> 01:48:10.600 he's injured, it doesn't really help. However, if you were 2309 01:48:10.600 --> 01:48:14.479 constructing a roster like this, who was the perfect quarterback 2310 01:48:14.520 --> 01:48:17.079 to put on a team that's devoid of pass catchers. 2311 01:48:17.479 --> 01:48:21.479 Malik Willis a guy that can make plays with his legs. 2312 01:48:21.960 --> 01:48:23.760 I think that he just has the opportunity to run 2313 01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:27.720 so much in this offense that he's going to end 2314 01:48:27.800 --> 01:48:30.640 up being a low and fantasy QB won when it's 2315 01:48:30.640 --> 01:48:33.640 all said, none kind of similar that like to Justin 2316 01:48:33.680 --> 01:48:36.319 Fields to the extent where he has certain games where 2317 01:48:36.319 --> 01:48:38.399 he just like flashes such a high ceiling. I do 2318 01:48:38.439 --> 01:48:40.680 think Milik Willis might be just a little bit higher 2319 01:48:41.199 --> 01:48:43.800 as a passer than Justin fields Is. And I mean 2320 01:48:43.840 --> 01:48:46.479 Fields obviously had no weapons last year either. That obviously 2321 01:48:46.520 --> 01:48:49.560 didn't work out. But I think Willis has a little 2322 01:48:49.560 --> 01:48:52.520 bit more job security than Fields did last year. The 2323 01:48:52.560 --> 01:48:57.239 Green Bay staff obviously knows him now in Miami, they 2324 01:48:57.279 --> 01:48:59.520 signed him for a reason. I think he's going to 2325 01:48:59.560 --> 01:49:01.960 probably play all seventeen games. I think he's gonna run 2326 01:49:02.359 --> 01:49:04.680 so much in this offense, so I think by lake 2327 01:49:04.760 --> 01:49:09.239 Willis just trust the process, trust the mobile quarterbacks, especially 2328 01:49:09.239 --> 01:49:12.079 going outside the top twenty. If he starts all seventeen games, 2329 01:49:12.520 --> 01:49:14.439 I think he's gonna easily crush his ADP. 2330 01:49:14.800 --> 01:49:18.079 I got a lot of Willis's my backup quarterback this year, 2331 01:49:18.119 --> 01:49:19.920 so we'll see how that happens. But I'm glad to 2332 01:49:19.960 --> 01:49:23.039 hear you say it. We'll take our final break right now. 2333 01:49:23.039 --> 01:49:25.880 When we come back. Running backs, let's talk about them. 2334 01:49:25.880 --> 01:49:29.079 Are they targets or fades or quite frankly neither. Andrew 2335 01:49:29.079 --> 01:49:32.680 Erickson from Fantasy Pros joins me for this last few 2336 01:49:32.720 --> 01:49:36.439 minutes of the show.

The last ten minutes or so we will 2348 01:51:22.359 --> 01:51:26.279 spend with one Andrew Ericson from Fantasy Pros Fame. Tonight 2349 01:51:26.359 --> 01:51:29.920 will be spent talking about running backs, targets, and fades. Here, 2350 01:51:30.239 --> 01:51:32.720 I'm gonna go through this. We don't necessarily need to 2351 01:51:32.800 --> 01:51:35.640 go rapid fire on this, but Andrew, you're a pro. 2352 01:51:35.800 --> 01:51:37.399 You know what you need to say about these guys. 2353 01:51:37.840 --> 01:51:40.079 There are plenty of people having a tough choice at 2354 01:51:40.079 --> 01:51:42.520 the one on one. I'm I'm not sure anybody's fading 2355 01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:44.680 Jamior Gibbs. But if you had the one on one pick, 2356 01:51:45.079 --> 01:51:47.119 is it Gibbs over Robinson for you? 2357 01:51:47.239 --> 01:51:49.520 Andrew, Yes, Gibbs over Robinson. 2358 01:51:50.039 --> 01:51:52.640 And because I like the Lions in twenty twenty six 2359 01:51:52.760 --> 01:51:54.039 way more than I like the fountains. 2360 01:51:54.359 --> 01:51:59.119 So the other thing too with that is Atlanta's got 2361 01:51:59.159 --> 01:52:01.760 a brand new coach and OC and like a brand 2362 01:52:01.800 --> 01:52:04.880 new offense and everything, which might be fine for Robinson, 2363 01:52:04.960 --> 01:52:07.199 but I always get a little squeamish when it comes 2364 01:52:07.239 --> 01:52:10.079 to that. At least Gibbs has you know, basically the 2365 01:52:10.119 --> 01:52:12.680 same well definitely the same quarterback, same head coach. I 2366 01:52:12.760 --> 01:52:15.760 know Petsig's there as the OC, but I'm with you, 2367 01:52:15.920 --> 01:52:19.159 I'd be taking Gibbs over Robinson. James Cook is a 2368 01:52:19.199 --> 01:52:22.159 player that is going right now at fairly high I 2369 01:52:22.279 --> 01:52:23.960 know some of that. There was some talk in the 2370 01:52:24.720 --> 01:52:27.520 YouTube chat about him earlier, but James Cook right now 2371 01:52:27.640 --> 01:52:30.840 running back six at the two to oh one might 2372 01:52:30.880 --> 01:52:32.800 be his highest ADP I've ever seen. This is a 2373 01:52:32.840 --> 01:52:35.199 guy that I expected the last couple of years to 2374 01:52:35.319 --> 01:52:37.479 have some regression and it hasn't happened. Is it going 2375 01:52:37.560 --> 01:52:39.600 to happen this year? Is he a target or fade 2376 01:52:39.640 --> 01:52:40.920 for you? At that one two turn? 2377 01:52:41.279 --> 01:52:42.279 He has a target for me. 2378 01:52:42.640 --> 01:52:45.359 I think that James Cook has just continued to fend 2379 01:52:45.439 --> 01:52:48.279 off the regression because he just keeps getting better. You know, 2380 01:52:48.479 --> 01:52:50.760 can't score enough touchdowns, okay, well then he just rushes 2381 01:52:50.800 --> 01:52:53.840 and leads the NFL rushing rds. Can't catch enough passes, Well, 2382 01:52:53.960 --> 01:52:56.520 maybe this year he does. Because at Georgia he had 2383 01:52:56.600 --> 01:52:58.439 no problem catching the ball out of the backfield. So 2384 01:52:58.479 --> 01:53:00.840 I don't think that it's a a ability issue with 2385 01:53:00.960 --> 01:53:03.159 James Cook. I love him a lot as a top 2386 01:53:03.159 --> 01:53:03.880 five running back. 2387 01:53:04.239 --> 01:53:07.279 Is there for anybody who's drafting in a national tournament 2388 01:53:08.039 --> 01:53:10.840 and you're trying to find a backup, like the injury 2389 01:53:10.920 --> 01:53:13.119 way type guy. If Cook were to go down, do 2390 01:53:13.159 --> 01:53:15.680 you think it's a Davis Johnson split or would you 2391 01:53:15.840 --> 01:53:17.279 like one of those guys better than the other. 2392 01:53:17.760 --> 01:53:19.880 I think I still like Ray Davis to be that 2393 01:53:20.279 --> 01:53:21.920 main guy. I know they like Ty. 2394 01:53:22.039 --> 01:53:23.960 I think they just like Ty Johnson in his particular 2395 01:53:24.079 --> 01:53:27.239 role where and maybe that doesn't change that much as 2396 01:53:27.279 --> 01:53:30.840 a pass catcher, someone that they trust in passcro But 2397 01:53:31.079 --> 01:53:34.079 we've seen Ray Davis. I think maybe his rookie year 2398 01:53:34.119 --> 01:53:36.079 where he got a chance to really start in a 2399 01:53:36.159 --> 01:53:39.199 game and he flashed big time upside. 2400 01:53:39.560 --> 01:53:41.840 So I do actually leenhard Ray Daves. 2401 01:53:41.920 --> 01:53:43.720 Ray Davis is actually one of my favorite handcuffs to 2402 01:53:43.760 --> 01:53:45.920 draft because although I do really like James Cook this year, 2403 01:53:45.920 --> 01:53:49.279 I do want to acknowledge that the regression may come 2404 01:53:49.359 --> 01:53:51.680 for the Bills, not in the form of his production, 2405 01:53:51.880 --> 01:53:55.359 but Bills were very healthy on offense last year. The 2406 01:53:55.439 --> 01:53:57.720 offensive line was very healthy last year, so that's something 2407 01:53:58.000 --> 01:54:00.720 talking about getting squeamish that I always trying to keep 2408 01:54:00.720 --> 01:54:03.479 in the back of my mind with those types of 2409 01:54:03.520 --> 01:54:06.399 trends don't tend to stay year over year. I just 2410 01:54:06.479 --> 01:54:10.640 asked the really healthy twenty twenty four Baltimore Ravens how 2411 01:54:10.720 --> 01:54:12.840 things shaped up in twenty twenty five. 2412 01:54:14.880 --> 01:54:16.760 I know how you're going to weigh in on this, 2413 01:54:17.039 --> 01:54:19.640 but Chase Brown has moved up to running back nine 2414 01:54:19.720 --> 01:54:22.640 at the two to ZHO five and there are people 2415 01:54:22.720 --> 01:54:25.760 out there. I think you're one of them wondering why 2416 01:54:25.880 --> 01:54:27.000 he's going that low. 2417 01:54:28.640 --> 01:54:31.399 Chase Brown is so teed up to just absolutely smash 2418 01:54:31.840 --> 01:54:36.359 this season. It's so comical to think how little he's 2419 01:54:36.399 --> 01:54:39.039 being paid because he's a former fifth round draft pick. 2420 01:54:39.399 --> 01:54:42.279 He's making less money than Emmanuel Wilson ra Shad White. 2421 01:54:42.920 --> 01:54:45.680 It's it's pretty bonkers. But it's a contract year for 2422 01:54:45.800 --> 01:54:48.640 Chase Brown, and after this season, he's going to get paid, 2423 01:54:48.800 --> 01:54:51.640 whether it's the Bengals but somebody else. Three down skill set, 2424 01:54:51.920 --> 01:54:53.880 top ten running back in the second half of last 2425 01:54:53.960 --> 01:54:56.760 year when Joe Burrow came back. We all want pieces 2426 01:54:56.800 --> 01:54:59.000 of this offense, and yet we don't think that Chase 2427 01:54:59.039 --> 01:55:01.399 Brow would be a tophig run back. I think that 2428 01:55:01.479 --> 01:55:03.800 he really much can so give me Jase Brown improved 2429 01:55:03.840 --> 01:55:06.159 every single year of his career, great in pass pro 2430 01:55:06.560 --> 01:55:10.079 receiver out of the backfield. Joe Burrow loves him. The 2431 01:55:10.279 --> 01:55:12.720 head coach, Dac Taylor loves him. I think that this 2432 01:55:12.880 --> 01:55:14.760 is like the Kyrien Williams thing all over again, where 2433 01:55:14.760 --> 01:55:16.199 it's like, ah, like, should we buy into it? He's 2434 01:55:16.199 --> 01:55:17.680 a Day three pick? Should we buy into it? A 2435 01:55:17.760 --> 01:55:20.079 Day three pick? And then by the time you just 2436 01:55:20.159 --> 01:55:22.159 like finally buy into it's too late and he's already 2437 01:55:22.199 --> 01:55:23.359 just continuing to smash. 2438 01:55:23.640 --> 01:55:25.640 So let's go. 2439 01:55:26.039 --> 01:55:27.920 Yeah, I'm I'm with you. I have him on a 2440 01:55:27.960 --> 01:55:31.159 bunch of dynasty leagues and hopefully he if he gets 2441 01:55:31.199 --> 01:55:33.680 a massive contract in the offseason. You know, he helped 2442 01:55:33.720 --> 01:55:36.600 your fantasy team this year. Mamari and Hampton, we talked 2443 01:55:36.640 --> 01:55:40.319 about the Chargers before. What's exciting to me is is 2444 01:55:40.560 --> 01:55:44.000 Alton Slater are healthy now, and yeah, McDaniel comes in 2445 01:55:44.119 --> 01:55:47.119 and and uh, they bring in Keaton Mitchell, which I 2446 01:55:47.199 --> 01:55:51.039 think is more. Uh he's the speed guy, right, He's 2447 01:55:51.119 --> 01:55:54.439 definitely faster than Hampton. But this offense should be really 2448 01:55:54.520 --> 01:55:57.239 good and in Hampton it should be the Bell Cow 2449 01:55:57.359 --> 01:56:01.560 there is he would would he ride to a target 2450 01:56:02.359 --> 01:56:03.039 Moniker for you? 2451 01:56:03.159 --> 01:56:05.840 And drafts this year one hundred. I think that he 2452 01:56:05.920 --> 01:56:07.560 has a lot of upside this year. 2453 01:56:07.760 --> 01:56:10.800 And I think that Hampton is another player that when 2454 01:56:10.800 --> 01:56:12.880 you look at the early season schedule for the Los 2455 01:56:12.920 --> 01:56:17.239 Angeles Chargers, Cardinals, Raiders, Bills, can you name a better 2456 01:56:17.600 --> 01:56:21.720 setup for a running back than those three defenses. You 2457 01:56:21.800 --> 01:56:24.359 may not be a lever in Omaron Hampton, but if 2458 01:56:24.399 --> 01:56:26.399 he's gonna smash the first three weeks of the season, 2459 01:56:26.520 --> 01:56:28.680 then you can trade him for literally anybody. You should 2460 01:56:28.680 --> 01:56:32.159 probably draft that guy. So Omaron Hampton. I know some 2461 01:56:32.199 --> 01:56:35.119 people are concerned about Keaton Mitchell. I'm not really concerned. 2462 01:56:35.399 --> 01:56:38.520 I just want this Chargers offense in every which way, 2463 01:56:39.039 --> 01:56:43.800 Like I just I'm upsessed. It's probably unhealthy, but especially 2464 01:56:43.800 --> 01:56:46.399 because it's the Chargers who are as Adam in the 2465 01:56:46.520 --> 01:56:49.439 chat is pointing out a curse franchise. I would say 2466 01:56:49.439 --> 01:56:53.279 they've been less cursed since Harbaugh arrived there, but still 2467 01:56:54.319 --> 01:56:55.319 a very curse franchise. 2468 01:56:55.439 --> 01:56:57.760 Most losing the two tackles last year. 2469 01:56:57.840 --> 01:56:59.840 That was, Yeah, that was the curse last year. 2470 01:57:00.079 --> 01:57:01.800 And you know, wasn't it Wasn't it something in the 2471 01:57:01.880 --> 01:57:05.720 effect of like like a alt was hurt and then 2472 01:57:05.760 --> 01:57:08.399 he came back, and then Slater went down, and then 2473 01:57:08.479 --> 01:57:11.640 all went down. You know, it's just and then Trey Pipkins. 2474 01:57:11.600 --> 01:57:14.880 Was like, oh my god, that guy. That guy should 2475 01:57:14.920 --> 01:57:18.000 not be anywhere near football. All right. 2476 01:57:19.680 --> 01:57:22.000 We move on to Kenneth Walker here too, a guy 2477 01:57:22.039 --> 01:57:25.079 who struggled with injuries, but he has not struggled with 2478 01:57:25.239 --> 01:57:28.840 making big explosive plays for Seattle. He finds himself in 2479 01:57:28.920 --> 01:57:31.720 Kansas City this year an offense uh kind of in 2480 01:57:31.920 --> 01:57:35.640 in transition, right, we see, you know, Travis Kelcey sort 2481 01:57:35.640 --> 01:57:37.439 of on his way out. We don't know what to 2482 01:57:37.520 --> 01:57:39.800 expect with Raschi. Rise should be a nice bounce back 2483 01:57:39.840 --> 01:57:42.920 season for Xavier Worthy, but outside of that, you know, 2484 01:57:43.359 --> 01:57:45.199 this might be a team that wants to run the 2485 01:57:45.239 --> 01:57:46.319 ball as much as they can. 2486 01:57:47.399 --> 01:57:48.239 I think they're gonna have to. 2487 01:57:48.640 --> 01:57:50.720 I think that Ken Walker's gonna get everything that he 2488 01:57:50.840 --> 01:57:53.119 wants and more in terms of volume in the Chiefs 2489 01:57:53.199 --> 01:57:55.079 offense to open the year. And it's just a matter 2490 01:57:55.159 --> 01:57:57.840 of can he hold up Another player that I think 2491 01:57:58.039 --> 01:58:01.000 if you draft came in a redraft format, maybe it's 2492 01:58:01.000 --> 01:58:03.319 someone that you put on the block knowing that Hey, 2493 01:58:03.840 --> 01:58:05.720 maybe he isn't always a player that is loaded up 2494 01:58:05.720 --> 01:58:07.800 with touches. However, I think that he's just such a 2495 01:58:07.800 --> 01:58:10.520 perfect fit in the Chiefs offense. I think that even 2496 01:58:10.560 --> 01:58:12.920 if his efficiency isn't great to start the year, I 2497 01:58:13.000 --> 01:58:15.119 think he makes up for it in volume. And then 2498 01:58:15.159 --> 01:58:17.399 as Mahomes kind of gets his legs under him coming 2499 01:58:17.439 --> 01:58:20.159 back from his ACL injury, maybe Walker they take a 2500 01:58:20.199 --> 01:58:22.119 little bit of the load off of him if they 2501 01:58:22.319 --> 01:58:24.079 were trying to make a playoff run. But then you 2502 01:58:24.159 --> 01:58:26.920 see that efficiency resurface because we know how good he 2503 01:58:27.000 --> 01:58:29.319 is your death to contact, we know how how good 2504 01:58:29.359 --> 01:58:33.680 he is effective at forcing mistackles, and everyone talks about 2505 01:58:33.720 --> 01:58:37.800 again except Chris Collinsworth ken Walker is a good receiver. Okay, 2506 01:58:38.000 --> 01:58:40.039 Like it was such a stark comment he made during 2507 01:58:40.039 --> 01:58:43.039 the super was like, this guy can't catch pass like Chris. Yes, 2508 01:58:43.119 --> 01:58:44.800 he can, Like, come on, like he can catch pass. 2509 01:58:44.880 --> 01:58:47.279 Like he's not going to pass bro Like that's true. 2510 01:58:47.359 --> 01:58:49.399 But he can clearly catch pass out of the backfield. 2511 01:58:49.439 --> 01:58:50.600 So I'm excited about Cam Walker. 2512 01:58:51.199 --> 01:58:54.600 Uh, Javonte Williams. Is he being underdrafted right now? FFPC 2513 01:58:54.760 --> 01:58:58.039 players are not taking this dude until running back seventeen 2514 01:58:58.079 --> 01:59:00.760 at the three to eleven despite an un believable season 2515 01:59:00.840 --> 01:59:02.439 last year on a really good offense. 2516 01:59:03.479 --> 01:59:06.319 I think Jamonti Williams is going later than he did 2517 01:59:06.399 --> 01:59:09.760 his sophomore year when it was Jamontay Williams versus like 2518 01:59:09.760 --> 01:59:12.560 Melvin Gordon as in the Denver backfield. 2519 01:59:13.079 --> 01:59:14.600 He's coming off a monster season. 2520 01:59:14.640 --> 01:59:16.279 I get that it kind of tailed off towards the 2521 01:59:16.399 --> 01:59:19.159 end of the year, but still cumultively plays on one 2522 01:59:19.159 --> 01:59:21.039 of the best offenses that we feel about. He's only 2523 01:59:21.119 --> 01:59:23.640 twenty six years old. He got paid by the Dallas Cowboys. 2524 01:59:24.560 --> 01:59:26.680 I think we're kind of overthinking it here with Javonta. 2525 01:59:26.720 --> 01:59:28.560 I think that he is when you're looking at who 2526 01:59:28.600 --> 01:59:30.840 you can get, is your RB two Getting him that 2527 01:59:31.039 --> 01:59:34.239 late he's kind of one of my like javonte A, 2528 01:59:34.439 --> 01:59:37.159 chan Brice Hall, those guys you can get at your 2529 01:59:37.239 --> 01:59:40.319 RB twos, Like that to me is just kind of like, Wow, 2530 01:59:40.720 --> 01:59:42.960 there's a lot of value here with even like I 2531 01:59:43.000 --> 01:59:44.640 know we talk about like some of these top tier 2532 01:59:44.720 --> 01:59:46.199 running backs at the top of the draft. We love 2533 01:59:46.239 --> 01:59:48.840 these guys, but there's a lot of depth going down 2534 01:59:48.880 --> 01:59:50.319 the board here in this RB two range where I 2535 01:59:50.319 --> 01:59:52.840 feel like there's RB one upside with guys like Travis 2536 01:59:52.920 --> 01:59:55.239 ah Chan and Brisaw and Javonta Williams who did it 2537 01:59:55.359 --> 01:59:55.760 last year. 2538 01:59:57.880 --> 01:59:59.560 Last thing going to wrap up with and this is 2539 01:59:59.600 --> 02:00:02.199 a news thing. Andrew Cameron wolf would go back to 2540 02:00:02.239 --> 02:00:04.640 his reporting for the NFL Network. He said that the 2541 02:00:04.680 --> 02:00:08.880 Panthers had expectations of Jonathan Brooks potentially being the number 2542 02:00:08.920 --> 02:00:11.600 one running back in Carolina this year over Toba Hubbard, 2543 02:00:11.760 --> 02:00:13.840 which just seemed like they just paid last year or 2544 02:00:13.840 --> 02:00:16.960 whatever it was the year before. Wolfe also said, obviously 2545 02:00:17.079 --> 02:00:19.239 Brooks has to be healthy enough to do this, but 2546 02:00:19.399 --> 02:00:22.239 there is this ground swell of Jonathan Brooks and it's 2547 02:00:22.239 --> 02:00:25.600 been growing since January and FFPC drafts. Brooks, you know, 2548 02:00:25.720 --> 02:00:28.439 went from being like a late round flyer to running 2549 02:00:28.479 --> 02:00:31.399 back thirty four in the seventh round right now, Andrew, 2550 02:00:31.399 --> 02:00:33.079 how do you feel about him at that price tag? 2551 02:00:33.720 --> 02:00:36.119 It's getting pretty steep, to say the least. 2552 02:00:36.640 --> 02:00:38.760 I thought I was high on Jonathan Brooks my initial rankings, 2553 02:00:38.800 --> 02:00:41.319 and I look at his Adpm'm like, oh no, Like I'm. 2554 02:00:41.199 --> 02:00:42.560 Following behind it right here. 2555 02:00:42.720 --> 02:00:45.000 So I think there's a point where we started gaining 2556 02:00:45.039 --> 02:00:48.399 control because he does have to prove it at some point. 2557 02:00:48.520 --> 02:00:51.800 But I, if anything, this makes me want to fete 2558 02:00:51.840 --> 02:00:54.680 you be Hubbard, like I can't draft. So even if 2559 02:00:54.720 --> 02:00:57.239 you're not drafting Jonathan Brooks at this price, this should 2560 02:00:57.319 --> 02:00:59.880 terrify you of Chuba Hubbard because he already lost his 2561 02:01:00.319 --> 02:01:04.039 once last year Rico Dawbell, zero explosive runs last year, 2562 02:01:04.479 --> 02:01:06.880 and not a very good pass catcher. So I think 2563 02:01:06.920 --> 02:01:08.479 it makes sense that the Panthers are open to the 2564 02:01:08.520 --> 02:01:10.479 idea of, like, yeah, we want Jonathan Brooks because we 2565 02:01:10.520 --> 02:01:11.800 think that he can be more explosive. 2566 02:01:11.920 --> 02:01:13.880 Is he's healthy. He's only twenty three years old. 2567 02:01:14.279 --> 02:01:17.159 He took Troopa Hubbard off the field and passing situations 2568 02:01:17.199 --> 02:01:19.279 the last time we saw these guys both healthy in 2569 02:01:19.359 --> 02:01:19.840 the lineup. 2570 02:01:20.199 --> 02:01:22.479 We know that Hubbard's not that's not his game at yards. 2571 02:01:22.479 --> 02:01:24.399 Barrout run has always been very low throughout most of 2572 02:01:24.439 --> 02:01:26.600 his career, and the last two seasons Truop Hubbard has 2573 02:01:26.600 --> 02:01:29.479 broken down. So I think that Jonathan Brooks is gonna 2574 02:01:29.479 --> 02:01:30.800 have a big role in this offense. Maybe it's a 2575 02:01:30.840 --> 02:01:32.960 little bit more muddled than we'd like to expect, but 2576 02:01:33.560 --> 02:01:35.800 if the Panthers are trying to open up a little 2577 02:01:35.800 --> 02:01:38.199 bit more in the passing game. Maybe you do see 2578 02:01:38.239 --> 02:01:40.479 a little bit more from Jonathan Brooks catch pass out 2579 02:01:40.479 --> 02:01:42.920 of the backfield. So again, if I you're making me 2580 02:01:42.960 --> 02:01:45.680 pick up Panther's running back, I'm gonna take Jonathan Brooks. 2581 02:01:45.800 --> 02:01:48.399 Yeah, I think you know you talk about the price tag. 2582 02:01:48.760 --> 02:01:51.239 I'm still kind of like like I'm on the fence 2583 02:01:51.359 --> 02:01:53.119 right there. But man, if he gets to be like 2584 02:01:53.479 --> 02:01:55.880 an early seventh round pick, I might be out on 2585 02:01:56.000 --> 02:01:58.439 Brooks at that point just because of the health thing. 2586 02:01:58.560 --> 02:02:00.800 You know, this is a guy that's had so many 2587 02:02:00.880 --> 02:02:04.199 issues and we're talking about soaking an early seventh round pick. 2588 02:02:04.439 --> 02:02:06.319 And I don't know if that's for me. I know 2589 02:02:06.439 --> 02:02:09.560 it is for me. Conversations about Fantasy football with one 2590 02:02:09.640 --> 02:02:13.319 Andrew Rickson at Andrew Rickson Underscore.
