Speaker 1: there who probably have never been to Green Bay, who
Speaker 1: have probably never been to northeast Wisconsin. Yet they seem
Speaker 1: like experts that the people here suck, that the city
Speaker 1: here sucks, and that they want to have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with Green Bay. And listen, people who come here
Speaker 1: may feel that way after the draft. Just reserve judgment
Speaker 1: till after the draft. Come here first before you may
Speaker 1: these resounding resolutions on what Northeast Wisconsin is like. If
Speaker 1: you experience it and you feel that way, hey, it

Speaker 1: winning something with us. Be it a best ball entry,
Speaker 1: Bestball tournament entry, a main event entry, a High Society entry,

Speaker 1: several Best ball entries in our Best Ball tournament. We
Speaker 1: awarded a main event entry recently as well for a
Speaker 1: gentleman who got the seven pick three times in a
Speaker 1: row and I don't know if he's joined another league

Speaker 1: that coming up later on in the show. So we'll
Speaker 1: actually have three live shows for you next week as
Speaker 1: we get you amped up for the NFL Draft. I
Speaker 1: always say, you know, there's so much that that can
Speaker 1: be gleaned as far as Dynasty goes at this point,
Speaker 1: but you know, with the rookies coming in and understanding
Speaker 1: how that's going on, it's going to help you become
Speaker 1: a better best ball player as well. So whether you're
Speaker 1: playing Redraft, Bestball, manage leagues, Big Gorilla Dynasty, we got
Speaker 1: you covered here at my f FPC dot com. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's get into tonight's news and notes as we take
Speaker 1: the fantasy flash around the league. Joe Person, who covers
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers for The Athletic, has reported that the
Speaker 1: Panthers are going to be holding a Top thirty visit
Speaker 1: with wide receiver Tetoroa, and I think I'm pronouncing that
Speaker 1: name right, Tetoa aka Tech McMillan out of Arizona, the
Speaker 1: Wildcat there. He is going to have a Top thirty
Speaker 1: visit with the Carolina Panthers. Panthers wide receiver room is
Speaker 1: pretty desolate, you know. I know there's a lot of
Speaker 1: Jalen Coker fans out there. I am not one of them.
Speaker 1: I get why people like him. I'm not a huge fan.
Speaker 1: But we'll see what happens with Coker. I still want
Speaker 1: to believe in Legette, although there's probably less than a
Speaker 1: third of a chance after what I saw in Week
Speaker 1: one where he pans out. I could be wrong on that.
Speaker 1: I hope i'm wrong on that because I have him
Speaker 1: in a few dynasty leagues. But Teed McMillan apparently is
Speaker 1: somebody that the Carolina Panthers will be looking at. Adam Thielen,
Speaker 1: who is the number two wide receiver there for Carolina
Speaker 1: or right now, is going to be going into his
Speaker 1: twelfth year, I think as an NFL player, and obviously
Speaker 1: McMillan would be a huge boost to that Panther's room.
Speaker 1: You could go if you're Carolina, if a lot of
Speaker 1: three wide receiver sets with Cocher McMillan and felin or
Speaker 1: Lagette McMillan, and feeling if he wanted to go that
Speaker 1: way as well. Carolina is holding the eighth pick in
Speaker 1: the draft, so they'd have to take McMillan there. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine he'd be around in the second round of
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. I have for anybody who watches the
Speaker 1: High Stakes Fantasy Football show on the Better Sports Network,
Speaker 1: you know I am not sold on McMillan. I don't
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge believer in him as a pro.
Speaker 1: Now I have a ton of Dynasty League, so I'm
Speaker 1: sure I'll have some exposure to him, But he's not
Speaker 1: a guy I'm targeting. He's not a guy I'm interested in.
Speaker 1: And maybe I can have my mind changed on that.
Speaker 1: As of yet, despite a lot of people coming on
Speaker 1: and saying, you know, you need to evaluate how you
Speaker 1: feel about Tech McMillan, I have not changed my mind
Speaker 1: on that, and maybe I never will. But there's another
Speaker 1: guy who I'm gonna bring on right now who maybe
Speaker 1: could change my mind or maybe he's with me on
Speaker 1: the anti Tech McMillan train. He is a guy who
Speaker 1: won three FFPC Leagues Dynasty Leagues last year in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four alone. He is joining me tonight as my
Speaker 1: guest co host with the Most Please welcome onto the show,
Speaker 1: mister Carlos Danger aka George Restad George, welcome in tonight.
Speaker 1: So glad that you're hopping aboard with me. How are
Speaker 1: you this evening?
Speaker 2: Doing fantastic honor to be here. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: So, I don't know when you get because I know
Speaker 1: you're a big Dynasty player. I don't know when you
Speaker 1: get involved with the rookie evaluation. But knowing what you
Speaker 1: know about tech McMillan, right now, i've kind of I
Speaker 1: have not made this a secret. I love the size,
Speaker 1: I love the catch radius, the speed. I'm okay with
Speaker 1: just the operation in college I just have a problem
Speaker 1: with And I wonder how that you know changes when
Speaker 1: he gets to the pros, if he is able to
Speaker 1: separate from NFL level corners. I feel like he could
Speaker 1: be a pretty good pro. But based on where I
Speaker 1: think his draft capital is going to be, and based
Speaker 1: on who's going to draft him, and based on what
Speaker 1: I have to invest to get him on my teams,
Speaker 1: I just don't feel like I'm gonna have a whole
Speaker 1: lot of technicvillin this year. I don't know how you
Speaker 1: feel about it. I don't know if he've even begun
Speaker 1: scouting him yet. But knowing what you know about techncmillan,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about him at this moment in
Speaker 1: time here in late March.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've just started digging into him a little bit.
Speaker 1: For me.
Speaker 2: Short term, the rookies are all about landing spots right.
Speaker 2: Long term, the talent's gonna win out. But you look
Speaker 2: at Rome last year right kind of buried between behind
Speaker 2: two veterans. So I'm in wait and see until we
Speaker 2: get more clarity on the landing spot.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you, like there's I mean as
Speaker 1: far as like if I'm drafting in best ball leagues
Speaker 1: right now, if I'm drafting and even the Big Gorilla,
Speaker 1: you know, which is a manage league, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: go out of my way. I'm not bending over backwards
Speaker 1: to get this guy on my team because I just
Speaker 1: don't see it. And quite frankly, I could see him,
Speaker 1: George going in the top ten. I could also see
Speaker 1: him falling out of the top twenty. And is that
Speaker 1: a player I want to, I want to, you know,
Speaker 1: reach for right now. Probably not, so I'm staying away now.
Speaker 1: Speaking of wide receivers here, let's get into Brandon Ayuk.
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter on his own podcast this week said he
Speaker 1: thinks Ayuk, who is dealing with that ACL tear, could
Speaker 1: be ready to play by mid season. This this totally
Speaker 1: caught me off guard. Quote from Adam Schefter. From what
Speaker 1: I understand, doctor Neil Ella Trash is pleased with his progress.
Speaker 1: He's coming along. I think he's ready to play by
Speaker 1: mid season. Now. This is a guy who tore his
Speaker 1: ACL in Week seven of last year. You tear your
Speaker 1: ACL in week seven, I would imagine that you would
Speaker 1: based on recovery from acls in recent years, I would
Speaker 1: expect that you would be playing real, live games in September.
Speaker 1: The fact that we are hearing this late March that
Speaker 1: he is ready to play by mid season by a
Speaker 1: national pundit, to me, suggests he is not going to
Speaker 1: be ready to play by mid season. That is the
Speaker 1: ceiling for Brandon Ayuk right now, and I think he's
Speaker 1: going to be ready much later based on what the
Speaker 1: Niners invested into him. He's a six year guy. Four years,
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million dollar extension is what he
Speaker 1: signed last year with the Niners, and apparently San Francisco
Speaker 1: has been trying to trade him, or at least have
Speaker 1: been involved in trade discussions. Man, I cannot stay far
Speaker 1: enough away from Brandon Ayuk. I have no use for
Speaker 1: him in best ball, and quite frankly, George, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about selling him for like seventy seventy f I have
Speaker 1: cents on the dollar in dynasty leagues right now, because
Speaker 1: there's a very real possibility after he comes back this
Speaker 1: year he is not going to be his normal self,
Speaker 1: because we know acl tear is the first year you
Speaker 1: come back, you're usually not your normal self, and then
Speaker 1: it's like another year. I gotta wait before he's back
Speaker 1: hitting at one hundred percent of where he was the
Speaker 1: year before. I just foresee a lot of messiness with
Speaker 1: Iyuk right now. I want nothing to do with him
Speaker 1: in redraft leagues and quite frankly, dynasty leagues. If somebody
Speaker 1: wants to make me an offer, I'm probably gonna give
Speaker 1: him a sweet deal on IU. How do you feel
Speaker 1: about him.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm buying. I'm taking your low ball offers now,
Speaker 2: I agree with you one hundred percent. In bastball, I'm
Speaker 2: fading him. The Niners are my team and he is
Speaker 2: the only wide receiver that they have that can beat
Speaker 2: man coverage. And he's the only reason that they were
Speaker 2: able to stay additive in the Super Bowl against the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: And that's part of the reason they let Debo go
Speaker 2: and drafted Parasol is they needed more man beaters, right.
Speaker 2: So yeah, short term the injuries. Concerning long term, I
Speaker 2: think it's a buying opportunity, and it really just depends
Speaker 2: on the makeup of your team. Are you in when now?
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, maybe maybe you sell them, But if you're rebuilding, uh,
Speaker 2: and you can get him for you know, a mid
Speaker 2: second in f f PC, I think he's gonna be
Speaker 2: a goodbye for patient long term owners.
Speaker 1: I will say that if if the mid second is
Speaker 1: the going rate, I would be considering I would consider
Speaker 1: shipping out a mid second round for a YUK. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying I would do it, but I would definitely
Speaker 1: consider it if somebody was offering that to me. How
Speaker 1: do you feel, since I know you're a Niners guy,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about Pearsol? Not only in bestball leagues,
Speaker 1: but in dynasty leagues right now as well, knowing that
Speaker 1: you probably best case scenario is probably not coming back
Speaker 1: to the middle part of the twenty twenty five years.
Speaker 2: Well, one of the things that I love about FFPC
Speaker 2: is playing portfolio. Right, So for me, I'm I'm a
Speaker 2: value investor. You know, I look at dynasty much as
Speaker 2: I look at investing. And so in some leagues, right,
Speaker 2: I mean people are paying a late first for Parasol.
Speaker 2: I'm selling. I'm selling at that league.
Speaker 1: I would too. I would too at that point, yes,
Speaker 1: and so.
Speaker 2: And then you know, in some leagues, Juwan Jennings, right,
Speaker 2: I got Juwan Jennings, Jalen Warren and Mark Andrews in
Speaker 2: a standard league to move back from the one oh
Speaker 2: five to the one oh nine. Right, So there there,
Speaker 2: I'm buying. So it's really league dependent. I think Parasol's
Speaker 2: gonna disappoint If you think he's gonna come in week
Speaker 2: one and be a wide receiver two, I think you're
Speaker 2: gonna be disappointed wide receive the wide receiver one on
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers name is George Kittle and and
Speaker 2: I think Jennyans and Parasol I like them a lot
Speaker 2: more in Best Ball than I do in Redraft. But
Speaker 2: I think this offense is going to run through George
Speaker 2: Kittle and CMC and Jennings and Parasol will take turns
Speaker 2: having you know, nice games.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different for Best Ball leagues obviously
Speaker 1: than the Dynasty. What do you make of George Kittle
Speaker 1: in the Never Too Early Best Ball Tournament going at
Speaker 1: the tight end three at the three ten right now?
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm getting that ADP knowledge from Fantasymojo
Speaker 1: dot com at Fantasy Mojo on the X Darren Amani,
Speaker 1: the godfather of the prosersus Joe's Challenge with the FFPC.
Speaker 1: Anytime I said ADP on this program, it's because of him.
Speaker 1: George Kitt has moved up to tight end three. He
Speaker 1: has moved up to the three ten. This is basically
Speaker 1: almost a full round ahead of Sam Laport, which we'll
Speaker 1: get into later on in the show. And it is
Speaker 1: about a round and a half, almost two rounds behind
Speaker 1: Trey McBride, who's the wide receiver too. I always get
Speaker 1: nervous with these with these players who are not spring
Speaker 1: chickens anymore. And Kittle, I think, what is he George,
Speaker 1: like twenty nine thirty years old coming in this season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's thirty.
Speaker 1: Thirty, okay, and he's dealt with injuries in the past,
Speaker 1: the significant injuries. You are all on board with him
Speaker 1: this year, regardless about you, regardless of pearsall. You think
Speaker 1: black Purdy is going to be targeting Kittle early and often,
Speaker 1: much like he was in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Yes, although at the three ten that's way too rich
Speaker 2: for me. I mean, that's price to perfection, and that's
Speaker 2: priced is at his ceiling. You know, in that situation,
Speaker 2: I would be fading that price and targeting Tucker Craft,
Speaker 2: Brenton Strange, you know, targeting PPR machines and Hiyak guys
Speaker 2: much later in the draft.
Speaker 1: Okay, And that makes perfect sense. I'm on board with that.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, excuse me. March twenty twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, George is still relevant. We're talking about him.
Speaker 1: According to Mike Garafalo from the NFL Network, Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: expects to be the Giant starting quarterback. This past Tuesday,
Speaker 1: Wilson signed a one year deal ten and a half
Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed. Ian Rappaport says that the deal is
Speaker 1: absolutely chock full of incentives, so he could earn a
Speaker 1: lot more than that ten and a half million dollars.
Speaker 1: In fact, could be up to another ten and a
Speaker 1: half million via incentives via escalators in the contract. The
Speaker 1: Giants probably, I would say, as a carrot that they
Speaker 1: dangled to him, said he's gonna get first crack at
Speaker 1: the job. They obviously already signed Jameis Winston too, and
Speaker 1: they have Tommy Cutlets on the roster as well.
Speaker 2: You have.
Speaker 1: Winston on a two year deal who signed a backup
Speaker 1: type deal. I wouldn't say Wilson's deal is a starting
Speaker 1: type deal, but it definitely could be that if he
Speaker 1: ends up hitting his numbers here. And there's also a
Speaker 1: non zero chance that the Giants utilize that what is
Speaker 1: that the third overall pick in the draft on Shouldar Sanders,
Speaker 1: or maybe they trade up to two to get Shadear Sanders,
Speaker 1: or maybe they trade up to number one to get
Speaker 1: cam Ward. I mean, all these things have a possibility
Speaker 1: of happening. And given that the Giants receiver or excuse me,
Speaker 1: quarterback room has not really been great over the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, to have Wilson, Winston and either Sanders
Speaker 1: reward would probably be very welcome by Giants fans, by
Speaker 1: Giants players, and by the front office. There, how do
Speaker 1: we handle Russell Wilson in Dynasty super flex leagues right now?
Speaker 1: Do we treat him as the starter? Does Winston have
Speaker 1: more appeal than maybe he did two weeks ago? And
Speaker 1: then we also have to bake in the factor of
Speaker 1: the Giants. Despite signing these two veterans, George, they could
Speaker 1: draft a guy in the top two or three picks
Speaker 1: of the draft. This is kind of a mess right now.
Speaker 1: How are you treating it again in Dynasty superflex leagues?
Speaker 2: So I'm trading away Wilson. In fact, I traded Wilson
Speaker 2: today for Cousins and two fifth round picks. I'd much
Speaker 2: rather have Cousins. I mean, do we think Kirk Cousins'
Speaker 2: career is over right? I mean, is he not going
Speaker 2: to make another NFL start? No, of course not. He's
Speaker 2: not going to be on the bench all season for
Speaker 2: the Falcons. And so to me, who's a better quarterback?
Speaker 2: It's Cousins. The Giants are desperate, right, I mean, let's
Speaker 2: be honest. The GM gable They're all losing their jobs
Speaker 2: if ownership doesn't see a market improvement. And at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, right, what is football? It's entertainment, right,
Speaker 2: And what is Jamis? He's entertainment. It may not be pretty,
Speaker 2: but I would much rather if I'm a Giants fan,
Speaker 2: see a game like that Denver Cleveland last year on
Speaker 2: Monday Night Football, where it was forty two thirty nine
Speaker 2: and Jerry Judy had two hundred yards. Right, Let the
Speaker 2: fans enjoy the game, air it out. Who cares if
Speaker 2: they're picks. This is entertainment, So I would use shocked
Speaker 2: if Jamis doesn't make a handful of starts. I think
Speaker 2: they both make starts. I think they're probably maybe they
Speaker 2: draft someone like Jackson Dart if they go with the
Speaker 2: Hunter with a third pick. But it's gonna be it's
Speaker 2: gonna be a shit show.
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, like, I was kind of let
Speaker 1: out the Giants signed Wilson. I was all excited for
Speaker 1: all this Jamis. I mean, think about Jameis Winston and
Speaker 1: Elik Neighbors. I mean, Neighbors is catching double double digit
Speaker 1: balls more than half the games of the season. He's
Speaker 1: gonna catch fifteen touchdowns. Yeah, Winston's probably throwing twenty picks.
Speaker 1: Who cares Neighbors was gonna be absolutely electric. And think
Speaker 1: about that too. And like, let's say they never signed Will's. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's say they never signed Russell Wilson. Let's say they
Speaker 1: do what you're saying, where they don't take a quarterback
Speaker 1: with a top three pick. They wait on Jackson or
Speaker 1: you know four Jackson Darter or Jalen Milroe or somebody
Speaker 1: in the second or third round, and it's Winston to
Speaker 1: Neighbors all year. How far does that move neighbors up
Speaker 1: in the ADP discussion for best ball Leagues neighbors right now?
Speaker 1: I mean, granted, he's going fairly high Malik Neighbors at
Speaker 1: the moment, wide receiver four at the one oh nine,
Speaker 1: I could push him past Pokinakua. I could push him
Speaker 1: past CD Lamb justin Jefferson with JJ McCarthy. You think
Speaker 1: you can make the case that would be going higher
Speaker 1: than Jefferson at that point, all of a sudden, he's
Speaker 1: wide receiver too behind Jamar Chase. That won't happen for
Speaker 1: a season aspect, But to your point, George could happen
Speaker 1: for a few games this season, and I am here
Speaker 1: for it. As the quarterback worm turns. Pittsburgh still does
Speaker 1: not have anybody except for Mason Rudolph there. But there
Speaker 1: is a certain four time MVP that is still a
Speaker 1: free agent that has not made a decision yet. No surprise,
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers. Josina Anderson, an NFL insider, has reported
Speaker 1: that Rogers and Steelers O c Arthur Smith had a
Speaker 1: good vibe when Rogers visited with the Steelers in Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: this past week. Apparently the visit overall went really well.
Speaker 1: Smith and Rogers watched film together and they talked about
Speaker 1: what they saw. I don't know what film they're watching,
Speaker 1: but it seemed to be going good, Josina Anderson said,
Speaker 1: quote from Pittsburgh's Viewpoint. I heard they walked away that
Speaker 1: feeling really good about the vibe of the meeting, per
Speaker 1: a league source. Now, if Rogers does sign with the Steelers,
Speaker 1: he is going to take over an offense that last
Speaker 1: year under Arthur Smith was very run heavy. Nagre Harris
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren four point three percent below it's expected pass
Speaker 1: rate in twenty twenty four. It was the fourth lowest
Speaker 1: rate in the NFL. Now Rogers, who's going to be
Speaker 1: forty one years old this year. In fact, I think
Speaker 1: he turns forty two in December. Don't quote me on that,
Speaker 1: but I think I think that might be accurate. Could
Speaker 1: be joining a Pittsburgh Steelers team, George that not only
Speaker 1: features George Pickens and Pat Fryermos, but one Dk Metcalf,
Speaker 1: a player that the Steelers are paying thirty million a
Speaker 1: year for. Right now? What do you make of Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers in dynasty super flex leagues? Right now? What do
Speaker 1: you make of him?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Should we just be treating him like he is going
Speaker 1: to be the Steelers quarterback? We've seen from multiple outlets.
Speaker 1: I think Mike Florio is one of them, So that'll
Speaker 1: be a big surprise if Rogers wasn't the quarterback for
Speaker 1: the Steelers. One, how do you treat Aaron Rodgers right
Speaker 1: now in dynasty leagues? And quite frankly, the second part
Speaker 1: of that question, what about Metcalf? What about Pickens? Knowing
Speaker 1: that the odds on favorite to be the quarterback for
Speaker 1: Steele City in twenty twenty five is one Aaron Charles Rogers.
Speaker 2: I can't think of a worse quarterback the Steelers could
Speaker 2: bring it in, then Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: And Mason Mason, Rudolph would be worse. He would be worse, George.
Speaker 2: I would rather see Rudolph out there. I mean, he
Speaker 2: he is more Pittsburgh. Aaron Rodgers is the opposite of
Speaker 2: Steele's city. He is he is, and then you combine
Speaker 2: him with two of the most volatile wide receivers in
Speaker 2: the NFL. I mean, if Aaron Rodgers couldn't get along
Speaker 2: with Garrett Wilson, how is he going to get along
Speaker 2: with George Pickens and Dk? Metcalf and I have a
Speaker 2: very reliable source in Seattle who said the reason DK
Speaker 2: wanted out is because he absolutely hates Gino's guts. And
Speaker 2: that's that's why I was actively buying JSN after his
Speaker 2: disappointing rookie year. Not because I thought JSN was going
Speaker 2: to be a superstar, but I felt ninety percent sure
Speaker 2: that DK was going to be gone, and I didn't
Speaker 2: think Gino would be gone. I didn't see that coming,
Speaker 2: but I definitely was betting that DK was gone.
Speaker 1: Well, they're not together, They're not together on any team.
Speaker 1: They're not in Las Vegas, they're not in Pittsburgh. In Seattle. Yes,
Speaker 1: they're like different sides of the country now.
Speaker 2: But Aaron Rodgers, I mean he's coming back. He's somewhere, right,
Speaker 2: if it's not Cleveland, it's Pittsburgh. The guy can't stay
Speaker 2: out of the limelight. I mean he This is a sad,
Speaker 2: sad situation. The Jets were an absolute debacle. I mean
Speaker 2: trading what did they trade for six games of Devonte
Speaker 2: Adams a third round pick? I mean, you know he
Speaker 2: is He's a cancer. I mean, he's a cancer, plain
Speaker 2: and simple. This is not going to and well. Now
Speaker 2: from a fantasy perspective, you know I have. I'm a
Speaker 2: little more optimistic right because he's another year removed from
Speaker 2: the Achilles. You know. It's the same reason that I'm
Speaker 2: bullish on Kirk Cousins based one hundred percent on the price.
Speaker 2: I mean, right now, you can get Cousins in Superflex
Speaker 2: for you know, a fourth or fifth right before cutdowns
Speaker 2: from you know, teams who are desperate to sell them.
Speaker 2: But I think Aaron Rodgers could have a nice season
Speaker 2: with with those two in Friarmouth. I'm guessing they probably
Speaker 2: draft running back to compliment Jalen Warren, So I think
Speaker 2: he could be a good value. But if I'm a
Speaker 2: Steelers fan, do I want to see Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh. Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Not interesting? That is that is very interesting, and we
Speaker 1: could see that. But you're right, I mean, like you
Speaker 1: think about what the Steelers have been, not only the
Speaker 1: course of the last fifty to twenty years under Mike Tomlin,
Speaker 1: but what they've been as a franchise. To me, Rogers
Speaker 1: is kind of like oil and water. Right. I'm living
Speaker 1: in northeast Wisconsin here, George, and I can tell you
Speaker 1: that the Packers fans here never embraced Rogers the way
Speaker 1: that they embraced Brett Favre, who was much more a
Speaker 1: representative of the type of fan that lives here. Blue collar,
Speaker 1: hard drinking, hard partying, you know, the salt of the earth,
Speaker 1: meat and potatoes type people. That's not Aaron Rodgers. And
Speaker 1: I feel like, and I've always said this, that they're
Speaker 1: the Steelers fans and who make up the Steelers fan base.
Speaker 1: They are very similar to the type of Packers fans here,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how that's going to go over.
Speaker 1: I think you're right, I think it could be bad.
Speaker 1: Let's get into you the player, the f FPC player, George,
Speaker 1: what are you doing for a living when you're not
Speaker 1: winning these dynasty leagues where you're not competing and playing
Speaker 1: Fantasy football with the FFPC.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm a professional problem solver, so I'm real. I'm
Speaker 2: a I'm a real estate developer. So it's, you know what,
Speaker 2: one project after another, putting together the pieces of a puzzle.
Speaker 2: I'm also a volunteer firefighter here in California. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: guys have been busy. Well, I mean that's why I
Speaker 2: signed up. You know, I live in Sonoma County and
Speaker 2: with these big fire events, we need bodies, right, we
Speaker 2: need resources. So yeah, it's a lot of fun. And
Speaker 2: then I surf big waves. So as you can tell,
Speaker 2: I don't shy away from risk. But it's uh, it's
Speaker 2: calculated risk, right, it's not reckless risk.
Speaker 1: So Sonoma County too, are you? Are you a big
Speaker 1: wine guy?
Speaker 2: Then, well, yeah, I grew up. I grew up and
Speaker 2: I went I grew up in Sonoma, went to high
Speaker 2: school on NAPA, and I grew up with all the
Speaker 2: wine families. So that Sebastiani's the Mandavis, you know.
Speaker 1: But I got it. I got it. I have an
Speaker 1: uncle who my dad grew up in Milwaukee, and I
Speaker 1: know nobody cares about this, but I'm gonna say it anyway.
Speaker 1: My uncle and him, they grew up in Milwaukee, and
Speaker 1: in the late seventies early eighties he moved out to
Speaker 1: the Bay Area. He lives in Sascelito, sure, and has
Speaker 1: been there for I don't know, like thirty or forty years.
Speaker 1: I went out and visited him a couple of times,
Speaker 1: and every time I go out there, God, is it
Speaker 1: gorgeous out there. It makes me want to reevaluate why
Speaker 1: I'm living in the snow filled northeast Wisconsin area. But
Speaker 1: always a good time hanging out there, and you're obviously
Speaker 1: living the life out there as well. Now I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about Cuba Hubbard. Cuba Hubbard is a
Speaker 1: player that I own on a few dynasty leagues. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say own him on a bunch, and I was
Speaker 1: really really happy when they signed him to that extension
Speaker 1: last season. And I wouldn't say I was happy when
Speaker 1: Jonathan Brooks retore his ACL because I never take pleasure
Speaker 1: in injuries, but I knew that that solidified sort of
Speaker 1: my Hubbard shares. And then Carolina went out and signed
Speaker 1: Rico Dowdell off the Cowboys, a guy who looked more
Speaker 1: than capable of carrying the load for an NFL team,
Speaker 1: and now he will be perhaps the one B to
Speaker 1: Chewba Hubbard's one. A. Maybe he's only going to be
Speaker 1: the number two to Chewba Hubbard's one. But how motivated
Speaker 1: are you right now to sell Cuba Hubbard in your
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues, now knowing that he's going to have to
Speaker 1: share the backfield at least in some part to what
Speaker 1: degree we don't know.
Speaker 2: With Rico dowdele, I'm not selling chew by at all.
Speaker 2: He's my highest owned running back. I think I have
Speaker 2: twenty five percent of them in FFPC dynasty, primarily because
Speaker 2: I don't want to pay for running backs, right. You know,
Speaker 2: I build my teams around two of the elite wide receivers, right,
Speaker 2: so at Jefferson in a CD A neighbors a Chase
Speaker 2: and then I kind of punt running back. But I
Speaker 2: love Cuba. I mean, he's he was an elite prospect.
Speaker 2: His sophomore year at Oklahoma State, he rushed for two
Speaker 2: thousand yards twenty one tds. He came back for his
Speaker 2: junior year, which was probably a mistake and got injured,
Speaker 2: and then his draft stock fell and so he was
Speaker 2: drafted in the fourth round but likely would have been
Speaker 2: a second round pick if he had come out after
Speaker 2: his sophomore year. You mentioned the contract, a four year,
Speaker 2: thirty three million dollar contract with I think twelve to
Speaker 2: fifteen million guaranteed. He is their starter. If anything, I'm
Speaker 2: buying Cuba if I have a nervous owner out there
Speaker 2: who's selling him for less than he's worth, and I
Speaker 2: am one hundred percent selling doubt all. I've been dumping
Speaker 2: Dawdle all off season. He was one of my highest
Speaker 2: owned running backs last year because I bought him in
Speaker 2: the off season for you know, pennies on the dollar
Speaker 2: fifth round picks. But Dowdell is.
Speaker 1: What are you getting for Dawdell right now? Just like
Speaker 1: third round rookie picks?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So I So here's some of the deals I've done.
Speaker 2: Third round, two fourths and twenty six third I traded
Speaker 2: him for Rashid Shahed. I mean basically, anything I can
Speaker 2: I can get, ideally multiple.
Speaker 1: Picks, and it's all found money, because like you said,
Speaker 1: you paid nothing to get out and now you're you're
Speaker 1: gaining essentially value on him.
Speaker 2: Oh, I loved him last year. I mean I was
Speaker 2: aggressively acquiring Dawdl last year because I thought, you know,
Speaker 2: talent would win out, and he beat out as Zeke.
Speaker 2: But the reality is he's a twenty seven year old
Speaker 2: undrafted free agent who got two point seventy five two
Speaker 2: point seven five million dollars guaranteed money. You know he
Speaker 2: can make up to five or six million, that is
Speaker 2: backup money, and he's only signed for this year. So
Speaker 2: I would if if you have a lot of doubt,
Speaker 2: all I would use this as an opportunity to sell.
Speaker 2: His only value to me is as contingent, and I
Speaker 2: see him as in the Miles Sanders role.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Miles Sanders role not great, not a
Speaker 1: good place to.
Speaker 2: Be, especially if you're Miles Sanders.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was the worst guy. The worst guy
Speaker 1: you could fill the Miles Sanders role with was Miles Sanders.
Speaker 1: This might be this is kind of a weird question,
Speaker 1: and maybe this is too forward thinking. Travis Kelcey has
Speaker 1: announced he's coming back for twenty twenty five, and this
Speaker 1: was after a season where I think, more so than
Speaker 1: years past, Travis Kelcey owners cursed Noah Gray for taking
Speaker 1: away a significant amount of catches, targets, and maybe touchdowns
Speaker 1: from Travis Kelcey this year. Do you think that Noah
Speaker 1: Gray is the successor to Kelsey in Kansas City or
Speaker 1: do you think that they're going to invest in somebody
Speaker 1: in whether it be free agency or the draft that
Speaker 1: Noah great? Like, I guess what I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: at here when I ask you this, George, it is
Speaker 1: now the time to buy a Noah Gray? Or is
Speaker 1: it a fool's goal that you are never going to
Speaker 1: get what you're thinking you're gonna get with Noah Gray
Speaker 1: at the moment, because not only do you not know
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, you gotta wait at a minimum until
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six to find out to get an answer
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So he's my highest goed tight end because I
Speaker 2: was counting on Kelsey retiring. So nobody was more disappointed
Speaker 2: that Travis Kelcey was not riding off into the win
Speaker 2: with Taylor Swift and signing podcast deals and with Jason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, doing more serial commercial breakfast cereal commercials. It's unfortunate
Speaker 1: because now he's gonna be back in the good iron.
Speaker 2: But what it surprised me if Noah Gray outscored Travis
Speaker 2: Kelcey this year and they kind of hold Kelsey back
Speaker 2: for the playoffs. No, it wouldn't. I thought Gray looked
Speaker 2: really good last year. Now is he the air apparent?
Speaker 2: You know they also drafted Wiley, Jared Wiley, Yes, who
Speaker 2: was a fourth round pick and was hurt and didn't
Speaker 2: do much.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: They gave Gray a three year, eighteen million dollar contract
Speaker 2: with I think ten million guaranteed, but I don't know
Speaker 2: if he has anything guaranteed beyond this year. My gut says,
Speaker 2: I want to hold as much Noah Gray as possible
Speaker 2: through Week one, but I'm definitely going to have to
Speaker 2: cut him in some leagues with the deadline coming up here.
Speaker 2: The other caveat right is this is a really deep
Speaker 2: tight end class. So would it surprise me if the
Speaker 2: Chiefs draft a tight end. No, it wouldn't because they
Speaker 2: don't have a whole lot committed long term to Noah Gray.
Speaker 2: So if you have the roster space, I think he's
Speaker 2: definitely worth a spot. But I see him more of
Speaker 2: a Kate Owton, you know, low end tight end tight
Speaker 2: end one I don't. I don't see him ever moving
Speaker 2: up into the tight end five range. I don't think
Speaker 2: he has the upside of say a Kraft. You know
Speaker 2: who I think is George Kittle Junior.
Speaker 1: You know you mentioned Kraft. Is there any other tight
Speaker 1: ends when you think about this George that that are
Speaker 1: out there that we don't think as top five tight
Speaker 1: ends in dynasty that maybe have it in him? Tucker
Speaker 1: Craft I think is interesting my and quite frankly that
Speaker 1: the caveat I have with Kraft is like there's so
Speaker 1: many like Jordan Love spreads the ball around so much,
Speaker 1: and we saw how run heavy the Packers went this year.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna happen again in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six or twenty twenty five, but I've seen it
Speaker 1: happen already. So I don't question Kraft as far as
Speaker 1: his talent. I just question whether he'll get enough balls
Speaker 1: to make him that five worthy. But besides him, because
Speaker 1: I can see the path where that happens. Besides, are
Speaker 1: there any other tight ends that you think, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you have the roster space, this guy could really hit
Speaker 1: two as well.
Speaker 2: Both Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews. I've actually been looking
Speaker 2: for teams on FFPC that have both because when they split,
Speaker 2: and they will split right likely as a free agent.
Speaker 2: Andrews is a free agent. Obviously they're not bringing them
Speaker 2: both back. But I think Andrews has got a lot
Speaker 2: left in the tank. I mean, he's just turning thirty.
Speaker 2: He was coming off an injury in a car accident,
Speaker 2: and clearly he looked like he was moving in molasses
Speaker 2: to start the beginning of last season. I mean, he
Speaker 2: looked cooked, but he was hurt, you know, and he
Speaker 2: rebounded in the second half. So I really like both
Speaker 2: of those guys based on their price. And Isaiah likely,
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he could be, you know, a
Speaker 2: top five receiving weapon as a tight end. So he's
Speaker 2: someone I'm actively acquiring. You know.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens when they inevitably end up on
Speaker 1: different teams there. Speaking of splits, we have seen now
Speaker 1: a split in what the Jets quarterback situation was in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and what it's going to be in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Aaron Rodgers has gone George Justin Fields.
Speaker 1: Is there my question here regarding that is and god,
Speaker 1: I can't remember it was this show or not. But
Speaker 1: I've talked about how this could actually be an improvement,
Speaker 1: as weird as it sounds. First Garrett Wilson to get
Speaker 1: justin Fields as his quarterback over Aaron Rodgers. Is it
Speaker 1: going to be better? I know it's going to be different.
Speaker 1: Is it actually better for fields throwing the ball to
Speaker 1: Wilson in New York rather than Rogers? How do you
Speaker 1: view that situation?
Speaker 2: I think so. I mean, Aaron Rodgers is so petty,
Speaker 2: it wouldn't surprise me if he intentionedly, you know, through
Speaker 2: the ball to Lazard and Conklin Adams. Adams do yeah, So, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: And DJ Moore had a great season with with Fields.
Speaker 2: So I think there's gonna be an opportunity to to
Speaker 2: buy Garrett Wilson sometime in early early September.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: This reminds me a lot of CD Lamb in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty two. C D had, you know, a couple of
Speaker 2: nice years, you know, rookie and sophomore, but he really
Speaker 2: hadn't hit his ceiling, you know, much like much like
Speaker 2: jsn uh and Drake London, right, And I think Garrett
Speaker 2: Wilson truthers are starting to get impatient, and I think
Speaker 2: the time to buy will be after a down game
Speaker 2: in September. But I remember two week one, twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: Cede Lamb on Sunday Night football against Tampa Bay right
Speaker 2: his junior the first game of his junior campaign. He
Speaker 2: went two for twenty nine yards, dropped two touchdowns on
Speaker 2: eleven targets, and one of my co managers, who's a
Speaker 2: little more emotional than me, said, CD's a bust. We
Speaker 2: got to sell them everywhere. And that's when I knew
Speaker 2: this is the time to buy. So I think managers
Speaker 2: will have an opportunity if Garrett Wilson has a slow
Speaker 2: September where the truthers will sell in masses. And that's
Speaker 2: when you want to go all in on Garrett Wilson,
Speaker 2: because if you've watched him play, if you've seen the
Speaker 2: catches he makes, the speed he has, the route running,
Speaker 2: he is an elite wide receiver and he will have
Speaker 2: some hundred one hundred catch, fifteen hundred yard, ten touchdown seasons.
Speaker 2: It's just it's not if it's when.
Speaker 1: So you're of your in your opinion, George, wait till
Speaker 1: after the actual NFL season starts, and then start looking
Speaker 1: at Wilson sharky. This is why we have people like
Speaker 1: you on This is good. I in one of my
Speaker 1: private dynasty leagues, excuse me, I drafted Cedric Tillman as
Speaker 1: a god what was it this? This would have been
Speaker 1: like a third or fourth round pick. I want to say,
Speaker 1: his rookie year, and I have a taxi squad there,
Speaker 1: so I could just stole him on the taxi squad,
Speaker 1: which I did, and then I did it again last year,
Speaker 1: and I had the opportunity to bring him up on
Speaker 1: my active roster, I did not, so I could bring
Speaker 1: him up on my active roster in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: which I have to. I have to either bring him
Speaker 1: up or I have to cut him. And I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is great. I love what he is falling into
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. This is gonna be fantastic. And now with
Speaker 1: the unsettled quarterback situation, with the rise of Jerry Judy
Speaker 1: and the extension he signed after Cleveland soaked draft capital
Speaker 1: to get Judy in from Denver, I have a lot
Speaker 1: of questions about Tilman. I saw him do it George,
Speaker 1: but now I don't know what his role is going
Speaker 1: to be with Judy within Djoku and quite Frankly, I
Speaker 1: don't know what he's gonna be throwing or what he's
Speaker 1: going to be getting from the quarterback position. Who's gonna
Speaker 1: be throwing to him? How do you handle Tilman in
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues? Right now? Is he a bye? Is he
Speaker 1: a hold? Is he a cell? I'm asking for myself, like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to do with this guy
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, to me, he's a bye and a hold. He
Speaker 2: I love Tilman, but I love Tillman because of his price. Right,
Speaker 2: I've been acquiring him for fifth round picks. Right, small miss,
Speaker 2: big hit, my favorite fan fantasy analyst, Sean Siegel, Right,
Speaker 2: small miss, big hit. That is Tilman right there. From
Speaker 2: weeks seven to nine with Jamis, and granted this is
Speaker 2: a little Jamis inflation, he went twenty one for two,
Speaker 2: fifty five and three tds. He was a wide receiver one.
Speaker 2: He was the wide receiver one in all of Fantasy
Speaker 2: those three weeks, and he outproduced Jerry Judy, who went
Speaker 2: thirteen one, seventy and zero. So he significantly outplayed Jerry
Speaker 2: Judy in three of the four games they played together
Speaker 2: head to head before he had his injury. So to me,
Speaker 2: do I know who's going to be better. Is it
Speaker 2: going to be Judy? Is it going to be Tilman? No?
Speaker 2: But if I'm paying an early second or late first
Speaker 2: for Judy and I can get Tilman for a fifth,
Speaker 2: it's a no brainer. You got to go with Tilman.
Speaker 2: And I think you know he's long term. I really
Speaker 2: like him because he's a physical X receiver who wins
Speaker 2: on the outside and is a good contested catch receiver.
Speaker 2: And so he's gonna be a free agent. I mean,
Speaker 2: we saw what two two Atwell got what ten million dollars?
Speaker 2: We saw what Dionni Brown got ten million dollars. I
Speaker 2: mean Darius Slayton thirty three million guaranteed. Right, So Tilman's
Speaker 2: gonna get it back. It's not if it's when. And
Speaker 2: so I would much rather roster someone like Tilman over
Speaker 2: guys who haven't shown anything, like roster cloggers like Roshawn Johnson, right,
Speaker 2: And and that's what you can get him for.
Speaker 1: I think I have to ask you here, George, as
Speaker 1: we're talking all this adp action, all this not necessarily,
Speaker 1: but like how you react in dynasty leagues right now.
Speaker 1: We talked about Aaron Rodgers earlier in the first half
Speaker 1: of the hour, what do you make of Minnesota, because
Speaker 1: it seems like they've gone out on They've gone out
Speaker 1: of their way to say, we're not interested in Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers right now JJ McCarthy. We believe in right now
Speaker 1: as it stands at this moment, JJ McCarthy is going
Speaker 1: to be our number one guy. But they have not
Speaker 1: put that in a cement. And McCarthy even said as
Speaker 1: much on a podcast a couple of weeks ago, like, no,
Speaker 1: they haven't told me I'm QB one this year. As
Speaker 1: far as Dynasty Superflex Leagues go, right now, George, is
Speaker 1: it better to acquire JJ McCarthy shares or is it
Speaker 1: better to rid yourself of McCarthy? How do you feel
Speaker 1: about that situation again? In Dynasty Superflex.
Speaker 2: Leagues, Dynasty Superflex, JJ McCarthy is the best quasi by
Speaker 2: low quarterback in Dynasty. He is an absolute smash. We
Speaker 2: got a brief snippet of playing time in the preseason.
Speaker 2: I suggest you go watch that on NFL clips. I
Speaker 2: mean to me, he's got the floor of bo Nicks
Speaker 2: and the ceiling of a Drake May with weapons, right.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to have that much rushing ability.
Speaker 2: I don't think he has as much natural a talent
Speaker 2: as Drake May, but it's all about the coaching and
Speaker 2: the weapons. To me, Drake May in Minnesota is a
Speaker 2: top five dynasty quarterback. And when you have Justin Jefferson,
Speaker 2: Addison Hockinson, and Sam Darnold, who's been terrible everywhere he played,
Speaker 2: just put up a QB one season and is going
Speaker 2: to turn back into a pumpkin this year in Seattle.
Speaker 2: I'm really concerned about Seattle. But we can talk about
Speaker 2: JSN and the Seattle offense another time. But by JJ McCarthy, you.
Speaker 1: Said another time, I don't want to do that. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about JSN specifically. Right now. Donald is gonna be
Speaker 1: throwing to him. He's got Cooper Cup there. There are
Speaker 1: plenty of rumors out there that Seattle will be using
Speaker 1: Day one or Day two draft capital to add another
Speaker 1: receiver there. It seems like Tyler Lockett is either done
Speaker 1: in the NFL or at least done in Seattle specifically
Speaker 1: with Smith and Jigba the Donald quarterback situation there, and
Speaker 1: I'll bring this up too, Ryan Grubb is no longer
Speaker 1: the OC there and he was let go because Mike
Speaker 1: McDonald reportedly at least felt like there was too much
Speaker 1: passing going on there. Well, too much passing really benefited
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba, right, and now we won't have that,
Speaker 1: And now you're gonna have Donald in for Gino Smith.
Speaker 1: I guess I have to ask you, with Smith and Jigba,
Speaker 1: if you have him on a Dynasty team right now,
Speaker 1: is this a guy that you need to be looked at? Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to get I want to sell high on
Speaker 1: him because his twenty twenty five is going to pay
Speaker 1: a comparison to his twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think short term he's a sell. I'm really
Speaker 2: concerned about the Seattle offense. I don't understand the Cup signing.
Speaker 2: I mean, who knows Cooper Cup better than anyone the
Speaker 2: Rams Rams? And they just kicked him to the curb.
Speaker 2: And then what did they do? They signed a thirty
Speaker 2: two year old wide receiver to replace him and gave
Speaker 2: him a boatload of money. And this is a guy
Speaker 2: who won the Triple Crown a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: So what does that tell you about Cup? You know?
Speaker 2: And to me, you know, cup skill set mirrors JSNS
Speaker 2: too much, So you're not going to have anybody like
Speaker 2: DK opening up the field underneath for JSN. So I
Speaker 2: think Seattle, unless their run offense really takes it to
Speaker 2: another level and they focused the offense around Charbonne and Walker,
Speaker 2: I think they could be a disaster. And we saw
Speaker 2: what happened to Donald right once he gets pressure, right,
Speaker 2: he melted down the last two weeks of the season.
Speaker 2: So I think Donald's success was one hundred percent due
Speaker 2: to koc and the Minnesota offense. And just to circle
Speaker 2: back to JJ McCarthy, the only thing I see slowing
Speaker 2: down JJ McCarthy and the Minnesota offense is Brian Flores
Speaker 2: and the Minnesota defense. If that defense is elite, that's
Speaker 2: the only thing that I see capping that offense. But
Speaker 2: that being said, you know, I think Chicago's offense is
Speaker 2: going to improve. I think the Packers will improve. Right,
Speaker 2: you don't win a Super Bowl by making Josh Jacobs
Speaker 2: the centerpiece of your offense. You know, Jordan Love is
Speaker 2: your best player. So I'm excited about the NFC North.
Speaker 2: I think all the offenses will be better, with the
Speaker 2: exception of maybe Detroit, but they were already an elite offense. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I'm all in on the NFC North. I want
Speaker 2: as many skill position players from those teams as possible.
Speaker 1: Much as I'd love to bring back the Midwest onto
Speaker 1: the show and talk to MC north, I feel like
Speaker 1: that would be a rabbit hole that George, you and
Speaker 1: I would not be able to crawl out of in
Speaker 1: the next couple hours. So let me bring this back
Speaker 1: to Smith and Jigba. I'm gonna tell you here's what
Speaker 1: I want you to do. I want you to give
Speaker 1: me higher or lower. I'm gonna set an arbitrary number.
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you what he did last year,
Speaker 1: and you tell me higher or lower in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Last year Jackson Smith and Jegba for the Seahawks one
Speaker 1: hundred catches higher or lower this year? Eighty five.
Speaker 2: Higher lower than eighty five?
Speaker 1: Correct?
Speaker 2: Yes? Higher?
Speaker 1: Okay? He had eleven hundred and thirty receiving yards last
Speaker 1: year in twenty twenty four, higher or lower in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. One thousand yards higher. Okay. Six touchdowns last year,
Speaker 1: higher or lower in twenty twenty five, and I said
Speaker 1: it at the same six touchdowns lower, okay? And touchdowns
Speaker 1: are not sticky like that. You know what happened. But
Speaker 1: I think the fact that you're still saying higher than
Speaker 1: eighty five catches higher than a thousand yards, You're probably right.
Speaker 1: It's still like a soft cell. But you still could
Speaker 1: get good value from Smith and Jigba in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: As far as if you keep him on your dynasty team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't see the explosiveness being there, you know,
Speaker 2: I told you, yes, I see him as like a
Speaker 2: seven for eighty guy, and I don't see the ceiling.
Speaker 2: And you know, in fs FFPC championship rounds, what do
Speaker 2: we want we need sealike? Yeah, yes, exactly. So I'm
Speaker 2: fading him short term. Long term. I think he's a
Speaker 2: great player, but you know, if you if you need
Speaker 2: to sell now, I think it's a good, good, good time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I get that. I totally get that. Beauty
Speaker 1: is in the eye of the beholder. If you have JSN,
Speaker 1: this would probably and you don't like him going forward,
Speaker 1: or you think like he's going to have a down
Speaker 1: year short term, this is probably the time we sell
Speaker 1: on him. Bucky Irving is a guy that I don't
Speaker 1: want to say came out of nowhere. There are plenty
Speaker 1: of putnets out there that said he was going to
Speaker 1: have a big twenty twenty four and he did. Myself
Speaker 1: and I Farrell and I were talking about this, I
Speaker 1: think two or three weeks ago on the show, I
Speaker 1: was talking up Bucky Irving, and yet I didn't have
Speaker 1: him on a lot of my teams. I had him
Speaker 1: on some teams last year, but obviously not enough. And
Speaker 1: I've been kicking myself. But when you look at this
Speaker 1: year's running back class and how deep it is and
Speaker 1: how good it is, some people are saying it's better
Speaker 1: than twenty seventeen when we had Fournette and McCaffrey and
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones and Mixing and Kamara and all those guys.
Speaker 1: There are a certain amount of land mines that a
Speaker 1: lot of running backs have to avoid in the NFL
Speaker 1: Draft coming up in less than a month after the
Speaker 1: NFL Draft, George, you think Bucky Irving is still going
Speaker 1: to be the clear cut starter in Tampa? And by clearcut,
Speaker 1: I mean like this is not a one A, one
Speaker 1: B situation. Irving is going to be the guy. Do
Speaker 1: you still think that is going to be the case,
Speaker 1: or if you don't think that's going to be the case,
Speaker 1: maybe now is the time to sell on Irving. How
Speaker 1: do you view this situation in Tampa?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think he'll be the clear cut starter after
Speaker 2: the draft. I mean, I don't think they're going to
Speaker 2: draft anybody high enough where come come early May, you're like, wow,
Speaker 2: Bucky's starting job might be in question. I mean, they've
Speaker 2: already got the best backup running back in the arguably
Speaker 2: in the NFL. And Sean Tucker who had an absolute
Speaker 2: flop of a rookie year because he was injured right
Speaker 2: and he I mean Siegel said it last season, He's like, boy,
Speaker 2: Sean Tucker looked better than Bucky in the one game
Speaker 2: where he ran for three touchdowns. I mean, he looked fantastic.
Speaker 2: So I don't think the Bucks will draft a running back.
Speaker 2: But I didn't think the Jets were gonna draft Braylen
Speaker 2: Allen and Isaiah Davis. So you know these gms, I mean,
Speaker 2: they're in their own universe. But I would I would
Speaker 2: be shocked if the Bucks took somebody before Day three.
Speaker 1: And I think like if they if I am a
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving owner, man if I get through Thursday and
Speaker 1: Friday and there's no running backs, I'm feeling great about Irving,
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, Irving's value probably goes up then quite
Speaker 1: a bit in dynasty leagues too. If the Buccaneers do
Speaker 1: not draft a running back prior to and if they
Speaker 1: draft one in day three, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna threatens. He's probably not even gonna be
Speaker 1: a one beat at that point, speaking of running backs.
Speaker 1: And we should ask you about this because our good
Speaker 1: buddy Tom in the YouTube chat wants to know. And
Speaker 1: we also had an email about this too, George from
Speaker 1: Ken in Norton, Massachusetts. Hi, hsff or do you see
Speaker 1: a repeat of Devon a Chan's twenty twenty four this year?
Speaker 1: And Tom wants to know what you think about him
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five? How do you feel about Devon
Speaker 1: a Chan?
Speaker 2: I like h Chan, He's one of my highest owned
Speaker 2: running backs. I think I have around eighteen percent of him.
Speaker 2: I was a little disappointed with his year last year.
Speaker 2: I mean, he was so explosive as a rookie. He
Speaker 2: put on some weight and then he just wasn't the
Speaker 2: same back when Tua was out, which was understandable, but
Speaker 2: his drop off with him without Tua, the splits were
Speaker 2: pretty insane, so moster it's out of the picture. They
Speaker 2: got Jalen Wright, who you know, may be just another guy.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping uh h Chan drops a little bit of weight.
Speaker 2: It was encouraging to see his past catching uh And
Speaker 2: I'm definitely bullish on him long term in Dynasty. In
Speaker 2: Best Ball, I'm probably fading his adp on Underdog, which
Speaker 2: is right around the the one two turn. I think
Speaker 2: I'd probably rather have Giant or take a chance with CMC,
Speaker 2: who I think has a higher ceiling uh than a Chan.
Speaker 1: How do you feel, just just in regards to McCaffrey
Speaker 1: and Best Ball leagues this year, how many running backs
Speaker 1: would you take in front of them? Let's let's do
Speaker 1: a quick would you rather this year? Again, this is
Speaker 1: Best Ball, not Dynasty here, George, would you rather have
Speaker 1: b Jon Robinson or Christian McCaffrey, Jonuon Barkley or Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: Jamier Gibbs or Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry or Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 2: Who that's a tough one. Henry for floor, CMC for ceiling.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're cheating a little bit on that, but I
Speaker 1: will allow it. Ashton Genty or Christian McCaffrey. You may
Speaker 1: have just answered this.
Speaker 2: Uh boy, that's tough. I I took CMC over Gent
Speaker 2: in my last underdog draft.
Speaker 1: I would take Gent. But that's just me and quite frankly,
Speaker 1: if I'm a volume drafter, I'm probably splitting it down
Speaker 1: the middle. Yeah, if I If I only have one,
Speaker 1: it's probably Genty, Devon a channor Christian McCaffrey, CMC McCaffrey
Speaker 1: or Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 2: Not CMC.
Speaker 1: I agree, McCaffrey or Josh Jacobs.
Speaker 2: That's not even the question.
Speaker 1: Oh it's McCaffrey for you. Yes, I would agree as well.
Speaker 2: So I think the cutoff is Derrick Henry, you know,
Speaker 2: Gihon t And you know what, one of my favorite
Speaker 2: mottos in fantasy football is draft like you're right, right,
Speaker 2: So CMC.
Speaker 1: That is I've never heard that before, but that is fantastic, George.
Speaker 1: I love that draft like you're right?
Speaker 2: Yes, So you can't draft, see you if you're gonna
Speaker 2: draft CMC right, it's gonna be a slam dunk. You can't,
Speaker 2: you know, weigh it in and out. You know, you
Speaker 2: gotta go all in.
Speaker 1: I think I have to ask you, and we haven't
Speaker 1: I mean normally. I did the hs F show on
Speaker 1: the Better Sports Network last night and we saw so
Speaker 1: much rookies. We've talk very little rookies. Tonight, I have
Speaker 1: to ask here, George, do you have a favorite rookie
Speaker 1: in this year's last We just talked about Gen t
Speaker 1: Obviously everybody loves him, but is there another guy that
Speaker 1: maybe not a lot of people are talking about, maybe
Speaker 1: a guy that is intriguing you. Is there a player
Speaker 1: that maybe in your early best ball or out your
Speaker 1: early dynasty drafts, that that you have made, maybe made
Speaker 1: some deals in order to get a pick in in
Speaker 1: the spot where you think this guy is gonna go.
Speaker 1: I guess maybe that's reading too much into it, but
Speaker 1: do you have a favorite rookie out there that maybe
Speaker 1: not a lot of people are talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it took me a little bit to
Speaker 2: to warm to him, but I was trying to think
Speaker 2: about who could be the most miss price right, where
Speaker 2: is there fear in the market, And to me, there's
Speaker 2: one name that really stands out, and that's Travis Hunter.
Speaker 1: I was gonna, I was just I was just gonna say,
Speaker 1: don't say it. Let me guess, but that would have
Speaker 1: been my first choice because the ceiling is so so
Speaker 1: high with this guy, but the floor is pretty low.
Speaker 2: Go go on, so exactly the floor is low. So
Speaker 2: you've got to exploit other owner's fear. Right again, draft
Speaker 2: like you're right, and it all makes sense. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's it's talking points. Oh he's gonna play defense, you know,
Speaker 2: blah blah bla. He's gonna play both ways. He's only
Speaker 2: going to play offense in a certain amount of packages.
Speaker 2: But like, imagine if he gets drafted in New England,
Speaker 2: I mean, who do they have, you know, Diggs coming
Speaker 2: off in ACL surgery, Drake May the first time he
Speaker 2: throws and passes, and OTAs is going to go up
Speaker 2: to the coach and say, hey, I don't care, verbil,
Speaker 2: I don't care what your plan is on defense for
Speaker 2: this guy. You got to get him on the field
Speaker 2: all the time. So I think he could be an
Speaker 2: absolute gem and is probably criminally underpriced. And we've already
Speaker 2: started to see his value go up on underdog and
Speaker 2: he's risen pretty precipitously.
Speaker 1: In the FFPC Never too Early Best Ball Tournament. He
Speaker 1: is the fifth receiver going off the board. Right now.
Speaker 1: He is going as wide receiver fifty at the ten
Speaker 1: to eleven turn right now, So McMillan at Buka, Burden
Speaker 1: and all going ahead of him, Trey Harris still going
Speaker 1: a healthy five rounds behind him. But as far as
Speaker 1: other rookies going in front of him, you got the
Speaker 1: two tight ends and Warren and Loveland going in front
Speaker 1: of him, Scataboo, Judkins, Caleb Johnson and then obviously gent
Speaker 1: Hampton and Henderson all going in front of him right now.
Speaker 1: There is value to be mine there for sure if
Speaker 1: you're looking at Hunter not only in dynasty leagues, but
Speaker 1: Festball League's going on right now. We're running short on time.
Speaker 1: One final question for you here at George. Is there
Speaker 1: one player in the NFL then maybe you have him
Speaker 1: on your dynasty leagues that you're like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I get to get this guy off my roster onto
Speaker 1: somebody else's roster asap. And is there another player you're
Speaker 1: trying to acquire. We've talked about a few of those
Speaker 1: players tonight that you're trying to acquire and get on
Speaker 1: your teams at the right price. But your thoughts on
Speaker 1: this question if there's one player trying to get rid
Speaker 1: of one player trying to acquire who would those players be?
Speaker 2: Well, I get get rid of him because he's already
Speaker 2: off all of my teams. But if he's on your team,
Speaker 2: you should get rid of him. And now is the
Speaker 2: perfect time to sell. And that's Nause, Harris. He is
Speaker 2: going to be Gus Edwards reincarnated. I guarantee that the
Speaker 2: Chargers draft an explosive or a more explosive running back.
Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, right, we've seen this,
Speaker 2: running backs are all about volume. I mean, Doubtel is
Speaker 2: the perfect example. Right. If they get an opportunity, they produce. Right,
Speaker 2: if they get touches, they produce. All of these guys
Speaker 2: are amazing athletes, right, but they're commodities, that's what they are.
Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, Nause is a
Speaker 2: commodity who is valuable in fantasy as long as he
Speaker 2: gets volume. But the moment he stops getting that volume
Speaker 2: and he continues his inefficiency, his value goes to nothing.
Speaker 2: So sell him for whatever you can because you can
Speaker 2: get quite a haul. Right now, people are envisioning, you know,
Speaker 2: Melvin Gordon in his prime type numbers for the Chargers,
Speaker 2: But he is absolutely somebody that I am fading.
Speaker 1: To your point, Edward's no longer on the Chargers, Dobbins
Speaker 1: still a free agent. Harris is the only guy there.
Speaker 1: But I am totally in agreement with you. He is
Speaker 1: going to be the only guy in Los Angeles for
Speaker 1: about another month, and then they will have maybe one
Speaker 1: or maybe two other rookies that will have fresh legs
Speaker 1: that are going to come in to compete for touches.
Speaker 1: So I'm with you, sell Harris. In fact, I think
Speaker 1: if I remember my i'd have to go back and
Speaker 1: check my Dynasty leagues. I think he is off all
Speaker 1: my Dynasty leagues right now as well. That's not a
Speaker 1: player that I want to be in business with. But
Speaker 1: who is a player you want to be in business
Speaker 1: with a player you're looking to acquire George.
Speaker 2: At quarterback, it's Drake May and c. J. Stroud in
Speaker 2: Best Ball. That's the sweet spot for me. I love
Speaker 2: to hammer wide receiver and wait on my quarterbacks, and
Speaker 2: to me, both those guys are underpriced and have the
Speaker 2: upside that you want in both Best Ball and in Dynasty.
Speaker 1: I think May is It goes without saying. Obviously, with
Speaker 1: the addition of Diggs, new blood in the coaching staff,
Speaker 1: and they're making a lot of changes. The defense should
Speaker 1: help him out this year. As far as Shroud goes,
Speaker 1: Why is this the year too? Because I know there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people on him last year and it
Speaker 1: obviously didn't hit. People are like, oh my god, they
Speaker 1: got Digs, they got Tank Dell, they got Nico Collins,
Speaker 1: It's going to be the year of Stroud. It didn't
Speaker 1: work that way. Is that kind of why you're buying
Speaker 1: in the Stroud Now? This like post I don't want
Speaker 1: to say post hype sleeper, but a post hype guy
Speaker 1: coming into twenty twenty five where maybe he doesn't have
Speaker 1: the ringing endorsements of all these other talented guys coming
Speaker 1: in and they got Christian Kirk or whatever. But maybe
Speaker 1: that's the reason that you want to be buying in
Speaker 1: on Stroud.
Speaker 2: Well, he's QBA eighteen. I mean it again, it's the price.
Speaker 1: It's his market, it's the market. Yeah, which makes sense.
Speaker 2: And we saw what he did as a rookie. The
Speaker 2: talent is undeniable. Uh, And I'm guessing that they're not
Speaker 2: done at wide receiver. I'm guessing they bring in either
Speaker 2: somebody uh, you know, likely through through the draft, so.
Speaker 1: And and all of a sudden, that wide receiver room
Speaker 1: that looked desolate before the Kirk trade could look like
Speaker 1: Collins Kirk and you know Matthew Golden or Collins Kirk
Speaker 1: and Mechabuka all of a sudden that looks really good
Speaker 1: for CJ. Stroud as well. Or you know, the other
Speaker 1: thing to keep in mind too is, you know, adult
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz is probably has his best football behind him.
Speaker 1: What if they get Loveland or what if they get
Speaker 1: Fannin or what if they get you know, I Joe
Speaker 1: Royer or one of these other tight ends where where yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not a receiver, but now, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you're still featuring four significant guys in that passing game
Speaker 1: that could pay off, especially in a weak division like
Speaker 1: Houston plays in weels. Wheels could be.
Speaker 2: Up for c J.
Speaker 1: Stroud in dynasty super flex leagues, no question. And this
Speaker 1: is why go ahead.
Speaker 2: And let's not forget. I mean, who who was the
Speaker 2: number one wide receiver the first six seven weeks of
Speaker 2: the season before the Nico Collins No question, absolute stud
Speaker 2: I mean, and it wasn't close. He was he was
Speaker 2: lapping the competition before he got hurt. So I mean
Speaker 2: he's He's an absolute beast.
Speaker 1: And I think if you have him on your dynasty leagues,
Speaker 1: or if you are looking to start your team receiver
Speaker 1: receiver A Brian Thomas, Nico Collins, start in Amon Ross,
Speaker 1: Saint Brown, Nico Collins, start Nico Collins. Trannick Bride is
Speaker 1: also intriguing in the ff PC as well.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: I only wish we had an unlimited amount of time
Speaker 1: to talk with you about these subjects tonight, George, but
Speaker 1: we just don't, which is okay because we got a lot.
Speaker 1: I've ingested a lot of content that you produced tonight
Speaker 1: into my head. It's made me a better player, It's
Speaker 1: made me a better dynasty guy. And listen, you have
Speaker 1: had a lot of success in twenty twenty four, winning
Speaker 1: three FFPC dynasty leagues. I know more success is in
Speaker 1: your future. Thank you so much for not only hopping
Speaker 1: a board tonight, but sitting in the co host chair,
Speaker 1: which is no small task. You did a great job tonight.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for hanging out. Enjoy the rest
Speaker 1: of the lead up to the NFL Draft. Enjoy your
Speaker 1: rookie drafts. Enjoy drafting season. My friend, we will talk
