Speaker 1: May please welcome in at Andrew to aka Andrew Mott,
Speaker 1: my guest co host for this evening tonight, Andrew. Good evening, sir,
Speaker 1: and welcome to Insider Access. How the heck are you?
Speaker 3: I'm good man.
Speaker 4: I appreciate you for having me on. It's it's nice
Speaker 4: to just get on and talk ball with some people.
Speaker 3: Man. So I'm excited tonight.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited to talk ball with you because one
Speaker 1: of the one of the blessings I have for doing
Speaker 1: this show is I can bring people like you on
Speaker 1: every single week and I learn from them.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of like a selfish thing, too.
Speaker 1: Right, because I'm bringing you out, picking your brain and
Speaker 1: I'm learning a lot. So the first thing I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about before we get into the actual
Speaker 1: fantasy content. You run the YouTube channel, the League FFB.
Speaker 1: This is your baby. Tell us a little bit about
Speaker 1: that and the content that you're producing for it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I've been doing the League FFB as a
Speaker 4: YouTube brand for probably three and a half years now,
Speaker 4: we're going into our fourth season.
Speaker 3: So started this.
Speaker 4: Really a couple of years back, just background in content
Speaker 4: in general. I went to film school, so you know,
Speaker 4: I've been doing content for a long time now, but
Speaker 4: I decided eventually I just wanted to talk football and
Speaker 4: that was where my passion was at. So why not
Speaker 4: just make this something that I do full time. So
Speaker 4: that's kind of how I got into it. Over there,
Speaker 4: we talked Dynasty fantasy football year round. That's what we
Speaker 4: do so rookies trades. Love talking Dynasty trades one of
Speaker 4: my favorite things to do. So yeah, we talk all
Speaker 4: of that over there. Spent some time over the last
Speaker 4: couple of years with BDGE and now Dynasty Nerds. So yeah,
Speaker 4: just been a crazy couple of years in the industry,
Speaker 4: but I've been enjoying it so much, man, Yeah, it
Speaker 4: is a blast.
Speaker 1: Where did you go to film school?
Speaker 4: I went to Weaver State in Utah. Yeah, so I
Speaker 4: was at Weber State and was part of their film
Speaker 4: program there.
Speaker 2: Shout out Damian Lillard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, shout out Damian Lillard.
Speaker 1: So did you have you shot, like, have you directed
Speaker 1: films or like what were you involved that cause one
Speaker 1: of my degrees I have is radio TV film. But
Speaker 1: like film was the one part I really didn't do
Speaker 1: a whole lot with, so I don't really know all
Speaker 1: the ins and outs of it.
Speaker 2: Were you behind the camera, in front of the camera, directing, producing? Like,
Speaker 2: did you do it all? All of it?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 4: So during my time there, I worked with the studio
Speaker 4: called Studio seventy six and I did some short films.
Speaker 4: We had some a horror short film back in twenty twenty,
Speaker 4: right before COVID started, and that won some awards over
Speaker 4: in Salt Lake City.
Speaker 3: So we did a short film there. I was producing
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 4: I did some of the editing on that one as well,
Speaker 4: And then we had some podcasts and some other stuff.
Speaker 4: And I've done a little bit of acting in front
Speaker 4: of the camera. But I'll say I like doing the
Speaker 4: background work on food the films and the movies a
Speaker 4: little bit more than I do being the actor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I get that a wholeheartedly. That makes perfect sense.
Speaker 1: So what's the if people wanted to watch the film,
Speaker 1: the horror film that you made, whatever it was, six
Speaker 1: years ago? Now, can they still watch that online?
Speaker 2: Somewhere? Is there?
Speaker 1: Is there a way that they can they can enjoy it.
Speaker 3: It might it might still be online.
Speaker 4: You would probably have to go to YouTube and go
Speaker 4: to Studio seventy six on YouTube, and you'd probably have
Speaker 4: to scroll down there and find it.
Speaker 1: Uh, what was it called? What was it called?
Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember what it was called.
Speaker 1: Well, what was the gist of it? Like, what was
Speaker 1: the angle? What was the slant of it?
Speaker 4: So it was basically a all female rock band group
Speaker 4: that ended up getting invited to a gig downtown. They
Speaker 4: went to it turned out that it was not actually
Speaker 4: a gig. It was more of like this demonic seance
Speaker 4: kind of thing. There was a cult leader there. They
Speaker 4: ended up having to fight their way out. Somebody got
Speaker 4: a drumstick through the eyeball. Like that's just kind of
Speaker 4: the whole vibe of what was going on. So it
Speaker 4: was pretty fun, it was. It was more so like
Speaker 4: a kind of like a lighthearted horror thriller kind of film.
Speaker 1: I got youa Okay, yeah, I actually and this is
Speaker 1: neither here nor there, but I also co host a
Speaker 1: movie pop culture podcast and the guy I co host
Speaker 1: it with he's way more into horror than I am.
Speaker 1: And he was just telling me, have you ever heard
Speaker 1: about this film called green Room? It was an a
Speaker 1: twenty four production. I don't know how old it is now,
Speaker 1: ten fifteen years. Basically, it was a heavy metal band
Speaker 1: that is performing at this at this gig, at this bar,
Speaker 1: and I think it was kind of like there is
Speaker 1: like a like a white supremacist vibe to this bar. Well, anyway,
Speaker 1: somebody gets murdered at this bar and the band wants
Speaker 1: to get out of there, but they can't. And I said, Ben,
Speaker 1: how can they not just just leave? And he tells me,
Speaker 1: He's like, you got to watch the movie. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to tell you how they can't leave because everything
Speaker 1: you think of that they can do, the movie explains
Speaker 1: why they can't do it. So basically they're trapped in
Speaker 1: the green Room the entire time they're trying to get out.
Speaker 1: So I don't know something. Maybe you're into it.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're not. But I I just was talking about.
Speaker 4: A few days maybe, and I feel like an important
Speaker 4: part that I should have mentioned that film festival that
Speaker 4: we did. It's like they send you a prompt so
Speaker 4: you can't like pre make your stuff, so you kind
Speaker 4: of have like some of these things given to you,
Speaker 4: So like we had to use a prop in the
Speaker 4: movie that they gave to us. We had to use
Speaker 4: a line that they wrote for us some point in it.
Speaker 4: So like that way you know that you're not pre
Speaker 4: making a movie. You have seventy two hours to film, edit,
Speaker 4: and finish the movie from the time that they send
Speaker 4: you the initial email. So we did the whole movie
Speaker 4: in seventy two hours. I didn't sleep for two days.
Speaker 4: Basically it was not monster energy drinks on the floor
Speaker 4: of the studio, like that's what we were doing all night.
Speaker 3: So it was really fun. It was really fun.
Speaker 1: That's awesome, fantastic to hear. Bringing it back to Fantasy football,
Speaker 1: and we'll touch on this before we sign off to
Speaker 1: the league. FFB has a rookie draft kit.
Speaker 4: Right, Yes, we just launched our rookie draft kit today actually,
Speaker 4: so something I've been working on in the background for
Speaker 4: a little bit now. But if you go to FFB
Speaker 4: draftkit dot com, that is where you're gonna be able
Speaker 4: to find the work draft kit. There's individual player profiles,
Speaker 4: that's how you're gonna see my dynasty rookie rankings, advanced
Speaker 4: analytics in there as well all of those scouting reports
Speaker 4: I wrote up myself, so FFB Draftkit that's where you're
Speaker 4: gonna find it. And good news for everybody. This is
Speaker 4: the first year we're doing it, so it's free for
Speaker 4: everybody to go check out.
Speaker 1: If it's free, it's me. That's fantastic. I got it
Speaker 1: up on the screen. For those of you watching the
Speaker 1: video version of this FFB Draftkit dot com.
Speaker 2: That is what you're doing there.
Speaker 1: You're also producing and I gotta tell you, very interesting,
Speaker 1: fun podcasts with you and Jagger May on the Dynasty
Speaker 1: Nerds feed. It's one of my favorite listens whenever I
Speaker 1: see a new one pop out.
Speaker 2: You've been doing that? How long? I mean do you
Speaker 2: pop out?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: What is it like two a week or one a week?
Speaker 2: How often are you podcasting with Jagger?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: So I'm doing two videos a week with Jagger, doing
Speaker 4: a podcast with him over on Draft Nerds. That's kind
Speaker 4: of our new adventure over there. It's more NFL focused.
Speaker 4: There's some defense stuff in there, there's some offensive line.
Speaker 4: We're talking to straight up NFL. So it's a lot
Speaker 4: of fun stuff over there. And then I'm doing one
Speaker 4: show a week over on Dynasty Nerds. Their main feed
Speaker 4: for their Dynasty fantasy football stuff with Garrett Price, So
Speaker 4: I'm doing about three pieces of content for him this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is awesome. Garrett's co hosted this show before.
Speaker 1: He's fantastic, and I think we should we should just
Speaker 1: make clarify this. Draft Nerds is sort of like the
Speaker 1: spinoff of Dynasty Nerds. All under this, but something that
Speaker 1: you guys did this is something I'm seeing, like more
Speaker 1: and more content producers do is branching off into not
Speaker 1: just fantasy aspects. I think the the other thing to
Speaker 1: keep in mind too, and I'm going through this right now.
Speaker 1: We talk about all these running backs, receivers, tight ends,
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for months, Andrew and and we kind of have
Speaker 1: to kind of create different ways to talk about it.
Speaker 1: We have to create different ways to produce content that's
Speaker 1: still fresh and cool, and I think one of the
Speaker 1: ways you can do that is also focusing on, Hey,
Speaker 1: the offensive line still matters in football, the defensive line, linebackers,
Speaker 1: corner safety is the secondary everything. And so that's what
Speaker 1: sort of what Draft Nerds gives you that you weren't
Speaker 1: getting with Dynasty Nerds before, right.
Speaker 4: Yep, exactly, And you got to think of it too.
Speaker 4: Like Garrett played football. Jared wackerly over there, he played football.
Speaker 4: Like these guys are football guys at the core, you know,
Speaker 4: they love fantasy.
Speaker 3: We all love dynasty.
Speaker 4: I would consider myself a little bit more of a
Speaker 4: dynasty guy than a football guy in general that I
Speaker 4: love the sport, but dynasty fantasy football is what I
Speaker 4: like talking about. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: these guys are football guys, and this is kind of
Speaker 4: another outlet, you know, project for them to just talk
Speaker 4: football too.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's fantastic. Dynasty Nerds is blowing up. Andrew Mount's
Speaker 1: a big reason for it, and we are going to
Speaker 1: delve into some of the analysis on these players. Now,
Speaker 1: what I want to do in the first segment tonight,
Speaker 1: and I'm telling the viewers as much as I'm telling
Speaker 1: you Andrew. First segment is basically going to be a
Speaker 1: whip Brown with the NFL, everything that's been going on
Speaker 1: and how it affects fantasy football, especially from a Dynasty standpoint.
Speaker 1: Then I want to get into something I've never done before,
Speaker 1: the Dynasty action plan. Right, So the middle segment tonight
Speaker 1: of tonight's show is I'm going to ask Andrew, what
Speaker 1: you should be doing with certain players, including but not
Speaker 1: limited to, Justin Jefferson, Luther Burden, Sam Laporta like that.
Speaker 1: And obviously the answer is gonna be different depending upon
Speaker 1: where your team is at as far as contention goes.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna give you an action plan, tangible advice
Speaker 1: that you can utilize to try to make your team better.
Speaker 1: And the short run and the long run and then
Speaker 1: the final segment. And this is what I'm most excited about.
Speaker 1: We're I'm gonna pick your brain on some of these rookies.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the big three receivers.
Speaker 1: I feel like I talk about it every week, but
Speaker 1: I always like getting as many perspectives on it as possible.
Speaker 1: I want to get into the tight ends and the
Speaker 1: juice that Eli Stowers seems to be picking up lately,
Speaker 1: and then obviously the running backs too. So that'll be
Speaker 1: the show, all right, Andrew, Let's kick things off in
Speaker 1: New York. Zach Rosenblatt, who covers the New York Jets
Speaker 1: for The Athletic, reports that there's a sixty to forty
Speaker 1: chance that Breese Hall will sign an extension with the
Speaker 1: Jets after the NFL Draft completes later next month. Now,
Speaker 1: the other forty percent is ostensibly not a trade or
Speaker 1: anything like that. It's him playing on the franchise tag
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six. He is twenty four, he will
Speaker 1: turn twenty five this year, and I don't exactly know
Speaker 1: why the Jets view him as a foundational piece when
Speaker 1: they have so many other holes to fill on this team,
Speaker 1: including the quarterback position. I think from a dynasty standpoint here,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a double edged sword, right because I
Speaker 1: mean I don't view Braillen Allen or Isaiah Davis or
Speaker 1: any of these other.
Speaker 2: Guys as serious threats to Hall.
Speaker 1: We know how talented he is, but the problem is
Speaker 1: here it's not a good offense. And as far as
Speaker 1: as far as Hall goes, the maybe what we do
Speaker 1: here is we shop him around. The question is how
Speaker 1: many cents on the dollar are we willing to take?
Speaker 1: Is it eighty cents? Is it ninety cents? If we
Speaker 1: want to rid ourselves a Breese Hall? And at what
Speaker 1: point do we just say, Okay, no, we want to
Speaker 1: see what happens here. How much fantasy goodness do you
Speaker 1: think is on the way for Breese Hall and his
Speaker 1: owners in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4: Yeah, twenty twenty six for me, I think is looking
Speaker 4: a little bit rough for Breese Hall, just because I
Speaker 4: do not project that offense to be very good. I
Speaker 4: think best case scenario for the Jets is that they
Speaker 4: do bring in a Ty Simpson or a Garrett Nussmeier
Speaker 4: and that somehow helps them improve their offense. But really,
Speaker 4: when you look at it from a critical lens and say,
Speaker 4: what incentive do the Jets actually have to bring a
Speaker 4: guy like that in when they have multiple draft picks
Speaker 4: and a chance to go get a top five guy
Speaker 4: in next year's draft class, A guy who evaded the
Speaker 4: Jets in the NFL Draft in Dante Moore who ended
Speaker 4: up going back to school. He could be right back
Speaker 4: and play for the Jets again next year. I just
Speaker 4: don't think this is going to be an offense that
Speaker 4: really goes out and fixes the quarterback position. So I
Speaker 4: think we are looking at a team that's probably looking
Speaker 4: at a pretty poor year from an offensive efficiency standpoint.
Speaker 4: So for me with Breese Hall, I do kind of
Speaker 4: want to see if that extension comes because I think
Speaker 4: if he plays on the tag this year, it's almost
Speaker 4: as good as gone for him the following year, because
Speaker 4: I don't think Brece Hall as a player is going
Speaker 4: to go back be in that same environment after some
Speaker 4: of the disgruntled behavior that we saw from him this
Speaker 4: year over on Twitter, talking about like I don't want
Speaker 4: to be here really is basically what he was saying
Speaker 4: on the internet. If he goes out and has to
Speaker 4: do it again, I can't imagine you can even force
Speaker 4: his hand to sign an extension unless they're giving him
Speaker 4: a bag of money, which maybe the Jets are stupid
Speaker 4: enough to do.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think, like, honestly, the plan should be
Speaker 1: don't take a quarterback this year, roll with Gino, agree,
Speaker 1: and then next year you should be bad and you
Speaker 1: should have your pick of a pretty good I mean
Speaker 1: we said this at this point, at least I did.
Speaker 1: I said this last year, Hey, pretty good quarterback class
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: It's going to be fun. And now it's not that great.
Speaker 1: And we could be saying this about twenty twenty seven next,
Speaker 1: you know, with you mentioned it with Moore in Oregon,
Speaker 1: with Chambliss in Mississippi, Manning and Texas. Who am I
Speaker 1: forgetting about? There's another big one.
Speaker 4: Seller this is gonna be in there. Julian Sayan could
Speaker 4: be in there as well. Like there's a ton of
Speaker 4: really good quarterbacks, if you like Sam Levitt transferring from
Speaker 4: ASU going to LSU and maybe getting a bump being
Speaker 4: there in LSU, like he could be a first round guy.
Speaker 4: I truly believe, you know, twenty twenty four, we had
Speaker 4: the six first round quarterbacks in that draft class. I
Speaker 4: think we could rival that again in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 4: I think we could get five or six of them
Speaker 4: next year.
Speaker 2: Who's the cat that is Indiana's quarterback next year?
Speaker 3: Josh Hooverer. He transferred from TCU and.
Speaker 1: He's not he would not Would he be eligible next
Speaker 1: year as well? I don't even know how good.
Speaker 4: Yes, he will be eligible and he could see a
Speaker 4: bump too. They got to transfer in Nick marsh coming
Speaker 4: over from Michigan. Who's gonna be probably one of the
Speaker 4: sneaky or wide receiver prospects that's not being talked about
Speaker 4: right now, but should be getting talked about probably by
Speaker 4: this time next year.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun for anybody picking. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: fun for fans, you know, especially the Jets, where you
Speaker 1: know you could go any which way. Now, the problem
Speaker 1: is Jets fans are probably like, there's all these good
Speaker 1: guys here, we could get in the top five. You
Speaker 1: know we're gonna pick the wrong one, and quite frankly,
Speaker 1: that may happen, but at least you have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to get it right. Okay. Speaking of running backs, Naji
Speaker 1: Harris back in the news as he had a visit
Speaker 1: yesterday Andrew with the Seattle Seahawks. No Kenneth Walker, obviously there,
Speaker 1: Zach charbon Ay probably gonna miss most, if not all,
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty six season. Manuel Wilson signs for
Speaker 1: basically backup money, but he's technically the start of there
Speaker 1: right now. He's probably the most experienced guy that they
Speaker 1: got that's healthy. Last season fifteen carries sixty one yards
Speaker 1: and just three weeks with the Chargers before he ripped
Speaker 1: up that achilles. He is twenty eight years old right now.
Speaker 1: This is as much a Najie Harris question as it
Speaker 1: is a Seattle question. Andrew, as we look into the
Speaker 1: Motte crystal ball, what do you think Seattle's plan is
Speaker 1: at running back and how do we exploit that for
Speaker 1: fantasy football this season?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I think the unfortunate thing is it's probably gonna be
Speaker 4: a little bit of a patchwork job from Seattle this year.
Speaker 4: I talked about it a couple of weeks ago when
Speaker 4: Brian Robinson still had not signed, and I said, Brian Robinson,
Speaker 4: Najee Harris, there's a couple guys still in that free
Speaker 4: agent market that I could see getting added. And Bainley
Speaker 4: was talking about that as a reason to try and
Speaker 4: flip and sell your Emmanuel Wilson off the.
Speaker 3: Perceived starter role that he had.
Speaker 4: But I also don't think that this is a team
Speaker 4: that's gonna avoid running back in the NFL draft. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's not the strongest running back class. You've heard every
Speaker 4: content creator, every analyst, anybody who's you know, put their
Speaker 4: eyes on this class. They'll tell you that it's not
Speaker 4: the strongest. Doesn't mean that there's not guys that are
Speaker 4: capable of stepping in and having a role in an
Speaker 4: NFL offense. It just means that they might not be
Speaker 4: day one starters or superstar level type of players at
Speaker 4: the next level. But Seattle's one of the spots where
Speaker 4: if you were going to give somebody opportunity from day
Speaker 4: one to figure out if they are capable of it
Speaker 4: or not, that's the spot to go. So I would
Speaker 4: almost expect this to be a team that's in on
Speaker 4: a Mike Washington, in on a Jendarian Price, in on,
Speaker 4: you know, one of these other guys in the NFL
Speaker 4: draft to see if he could come in and compete
Speaker 4: with probably a veteran like Najie Harris and Emmanuel Wilson
Speaker 4: as well, just to patchwork them through this year. And
Speaker 4: then you have to assume in the future, with Zach
Speaker 4: Charbonay likely not going to be playing too much this year,
Speaker 4: that contract extension that he's going to be looking to
Speaker 4: get the following summer, it's probably not going to be
Speaker 4: as big because he hasn't been on the football field,
Speaker 4: so he probably remains in Seattle as their guy.
Speaker 1: You know, as you're saying this, and I was talking
Speaker 1: about this on one of my other shows last night,
Speaker 1: it just it seems to me that it would work
Speaker 1: out well for a team that needs a quarterback to
Speaker 1: trade up to thirty two with Seattle to get Ty
Speaker 1: Simpson if he's still available there, he's steaming up a
Speaker 1: little bit as well, and then Seattle can drop back
Speaker 1: into the early second round and grab. You know, I've
Speaker 1: been saying Price, I think Washington is an excellent choice
Speaker 1: as well. And then you can cobble together like whether
Speaker 1: it's Harris or not, it's probably gonna be somebody else.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a Harris type, a rookie and
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Wilson. And then next year, when Charbonne is healthy,
Speaker 1: they let Wilson go, they let this other veteran go,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden we're looking at a
Speaker 1: tandem backfield again of Charbona and whoever the rookie is.
Speaker 1: At least that's the way I would I would see it,
Speaker 1: and I think that's most likely, but God knows what's
Speaker 1: going to happen. It's the NFL. Anything's possible. Go to
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Patrick Mahomes is recovering from knee surgery right now,
Speaker 1: and the chiefs are optimistic Andrew and I'm putting that
Speaker 1: quotes for the audio listeners that he is going to
Speaker 1: be able to practice in OTA's right, yeah, OTAs in May,
Speaker 1: which you know he's not going to be doing everything,
Speaker 1: but they want him to be doing something. There torn
Speaker 1: acl torn LCL And it's funny because we saw a
Speaker 1: little bit of a different Patrick Mahomes this year. Set
Speaker 1: a career high in rushing four hundred and twenty two
Speaker 1: yards last season in just fourteen games, and some of
Speaker 1: that was necessitated by the lack of threats on the
Speaker 1: perimeter by an aging Travis Kelcey, by some injuries, and
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of baked into his ADP where
Speaker 1: he's like quarterback twelve right now from a redraft standpoint, anyway,
Speaker 1: it's kind of baked into that where he probably won't
Speaker 1: be running as much this year. But I really don't
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do for the weapons as well
Speaker 1: as we stand right now, At what point do you
Speaker 1: think Mahomes takes over that he's back under center for
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Are you gleaning anything of how the Chiefs
Speaker 1: feel about this injury recovery based on their acquisition of
Speaker 1: Justin Fields and what should we expect from another year
Speaker 1: of Mahomes and Kelsey and then obviously throwing Xavier Worthy
Speaker 1: and Rashid Rice in there as well? As we get
Speaker 1: this information that they're hopeful that he's practicing and may
Speaker 1: at least on a limited basis.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think that's gonna be the million
Speaker 4: dollar question is when he's going to be available. I
Speaker 4: think the Justin Fields edition does signal that, yes, they're
Speaker 4: saying they think he's going to be good, but they
Speaker 4: want the insurance policy just in case. And from a
Speaker 4: fantasy perspective, that also kind of makes Justin Fields interesting again.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that really makes me excited, but
Speaker 4: we're talking about Justin Fields again. As far as win,
Speaker 4: do I think he's gonna play, I really wouldn't be
Speaker 4: surprised man to see him suit it up by week four,
Speaker 4: ready to go by week four. Like I think he's
Speaker 4: the first month of the season type of guy. I'm
Speaker 4: more intrigued to see how they handle that number nine
Speaker 4: overall pick in the NFL Draft. I have been talking
Speaker 4: about number nine being a great spot for them to go.
Speaker 4: Get them another receiving weapon, Rashie Rice, the off the
Speaker 4: field stuff, you know, some of the disappointment from Xavier Worthy,
Speaker 4: the aging of Travis Kelcey. It does leave a little
Speaker 4: bit to be desired in that receiving room. And we
Speaker 4: got three guys that I really like in this year's class,
Speaker 4: Lemon Tyson and Tate. I think Tate would be awesome
Speaker 4: to help take the top off the defense. I think
Speaker 4: Tyson's the purest rout runner in the class, and I
Speaker 4: think he's super nuanced and has the highest ceiling. If
Speaker 4: I could see one of those guys end up in
Speaker 4: Kansas City, it would be really, really good for everybody
Speaker 4: in that offense. And you also have to account for
Speaker 4: the fact that we're gonna be looking at a Chiefs
Speaker 4: offense now for the first time in a couple of
Speaker 4: seasons that doesn't have Matt Naggy's hands on it, so
Speaker 4: we're gonna get to see a little bit of difference
Speaker 4: in that offense too. Maybe that played into some of
Speaker 4: the rushing next year, but overall, it's a very interesting situation.
Speaker 4: I would probably bet on Patrick Mahomes at his current
Speaker 4: ADP right now.
Speaker 1: In a perfect world, if all three of the big
Speaker 1: three receivers are available at nine, and let's throw Kenyan
Speaker 1: Sadek in there as well, who do you think would
Speaker 1: fit best? Who would be the best choice for Kansas
Speaker 1: City specifically there?
Speaker 4: I think the best choice is gonna be Carnell Tate.
Speaker 4: His game does a little bit more than what some
Speaker 4: of these other guys. It could move everybody down a
Speaker 4: peg almost in the receiving order, because it allows Rashie
Speaker 4: Rice to play that big slot role kind of do
Speaker 4: everything over the middle of the field that he's been
Speaker 4: feeding into some of the Travis Kelsey stuff already. It
Speaker 4: does push Worthy out into just kind of a field
Speaker 4: stretcher role, and it lets Taate be the big boundary
Speaker 4: guy on the outside that is a savvy route runner
Speaker 4: and take the top off the defense, go up above
Speaker 4: the rim, play big. I just think he fits that
Speaker 4: offense a little bit better than some of the other guys,
Speaker 4: even though I don't think he has the highest ceiling
Speaker 4: of all the wide receivers.
Speaker 2: Mahomes is what like thirty one thirty somewhere around there, yep, yep.
Speaker 2: So for the second half of his career, he obviously
Speaker 2: won't have Travis Kelcey for the majority of it. Do
Speaker 2: Stours or Sadiq strike you as semi seamless replacements for
Speaker 2: Kelsey to kind of carry Mahomes over the next decade,
Speaker 2: or do you view both of those players as not
Speaker 2: the type of tight end that Eric beenemy Andy Reid
Speaker 2: would want for this offense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if I see those guys as
Speaker 4: being the guys that are likely to be the heir
Speaker 4: to the throne of Travis Kelce. I wouldn't be surprised
Speaker 4: to see them go in maybe a little bit later
Speaker 4: in the NFL draft and look at a Max Claire
Speaker 4: or something like that to bring him in and kind
Speaker 4: of play a little bit of that role, because when
Speaker 4: you look at his Purdue tape, he did a lot
Speaker 4: of what Kelsey does too. You know, ay athlete but
Speaker 4: plays across the middle. Was a focal point of their
Speaker 4: receiving offense at Perdue when he was there as a
Speaker 4: junior or as a sophomore, and then I think he
Speaker 4: could kind of do some of the other stuff without
Speaker 4: the draft cost. Would allow you to get the wide
Speaker 4: receiver or even if you want to go in and
Speaker 4: do defense. You know, in the first pick in the draft,
Speaker 4: we've seen Ruben Bain and some of these other guys
Speaker 4: get mocked to them before. That would be crazy if
Speaker 4: he ends up there. So I think it gives you
Speaker 4: some more flexibility. I don't think Sadik or Stowers are
Speaker 4: going to be one of the guys that ends up
Speaker 4: filling in for Travis Kelce.
Speaker 1: Does it say, actually, you know what I want to
Speaker 1: say the Sadik Stowers conversation for later on, because there's
Speaker 1: some important aspects I want to, like macro stuff I
Speaker 1: want to talk with you about that. Let's go to
Speaker 1: Baltimore instead. Jeff Zirabik, I don't know if I'm pronouncing
Speaker 1: it right, and I've been saying it for years, and
Speaker 1: I still don't know if I'm pronouncing it right. The
Speaker 1: Ravens reporter for The Athletic said that the Ravens want
Speaker 1: to make sure that they get to a deal sooner
Speaker 1: rather than later in extending Zay Flowers. As of this recording,
Speaker 1: flowers fifth year option has not been picked up by
Speaker 1: Baltimore yet, but we don't care about that. If they're
Speaker 1: extending them, then it doesn't really make much of a difference.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you feel about Zay Flowers in general,
Speaker 1: the type of player he is, his fit in the
Speaker 1: Baltimore offense, and quite frankly, Lamar Jackson, who I think
Speaker 1: is maybe gonna semi reinvent himself coming off a down year,
Speaker 1: a year that he dealt with injuries, and now he's
Speaker 1: kind of in the second half of his career right
Speaker 1: where he just can't run away from defenses the way
Speaker 1: he used to. Still super fast, still can get it done,
Speaker 1: but not the way that he used to. Andrew Jay
Speaker 1: Flowers as far as a dynasty asset goes, is he
Speaker 1: a top fifteen guy? Is he a top twenty guy
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean he's definitely a top twenty ish guy for me.
Speaker 4: And early on in the offseason when we were just
Speaker 4: coming out of the NFL season in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 4: I talked about him as a bye because you looked
Speaker 4: at some of these consensus ranking websites, whether that be
Speaker 4: Fantasy CALK or KTC or whatever you wanted to look at,
Speaker 4: he was really far down despite finishing as a top
Speaker 4: twelve wide receiver in Fantasy football, you know, just a
Speaker 4: couple weeks prior. So He's a player that I think
Speaker 4: definitely benefited last year from some of the lack of
Speaker 4: competition for targets around him. Baltimore could definitely do with
Speaker 4: getting another guy in that offense. You kind of saw
Speaker 4: guys like DeAndre Hopkins regrets for Sean Bateman hasn't necessarily
Speaker 4: given you really anything I think to call home about
Speaker 4: in that offense. He's a fine player, but they need
Speaker 4: another guy to me, Zay is one of the elite
Speaker 4: or should end up being one of the elite wide
Speaker 4: receiver twos in football. But for right now, he's a
Speaker 4: PPR kind of guy because he is really the only
Speaker 4: competition or the only receiving target that they have there
Speaker 4: in Baltimore.
Speaker 2: Do you view Baltimore as.
Speaker 1: Do you think that they view wide receiver as a
Speaker 1: priority for Day one or Day two of the draft.
Speaker 4: I'm kind of debating that because I originally was like
Speaker 4: mocking them some wide receivers if we saw Jordan Tyson
Speaker 4: fall because some of the injury concerns, I kind of
Speaker 4: was mocking him there. And before the Raiders trade they
Speaker 4: ended up not being a Raiders trade and now they
Speaker 4: kind of have that first round pick back. But it's
Speaker 4: tough to tell you. I think right now they need
Speaker 4: a guy more as like a sacrificial X, somebody who
Speaker 4: can play on the outside, play on the boundary. Let
Speaker 4: Zay kind of play underneath and do some of the
Speaker 4: gadgety stuff on screens, and some of these Jets sweeps
Speaker 4: still have Mark Andrews to play across the middle. A
Speaker 4: good fit in that offense I think would be Denzel
Speaker 4: Boston if somehow he's available in that second round right
Speaker 4: there where they're picking in like the teens.
Speaker 1: I I want to know if you have any insight
Speaker 1: into what we should be doing as far as the
Speaker 1: tight ends go for Baltimore. They let Isaiah likely go
Speaker 1: sign with the Giants, and I'm still scratching my head
Speaker 1: on the Mark Andrews extension. We often say follow the money,
Speaker 1: and I'm struggling to do it here with Andrews, you know,
Speaker 1: with him with I mean, is there something should we
Speaker 1: glean something from that? For fantasy that the Ravens believe
Speaker 1: in Andrews because they not only extended them, they let
Speaker 1: his biggest competition at the position.
Speaker 2: For targets go to New York.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if there's something there or not,
Speaker 1: or maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen jokes on the internet that that was
Speaker 4: a Harbaugh thing where he's like, yeah, you guys should resign.
Speaker 4: Andrews so likely hits the market and then follows him
Speaker 4: somewhere else. But that likely probably didn't very didn't happen.
Speaker 4: But I do think with the way that we're looking
Speaker 4: at Baltimore today, Like I said, I think this is
Speaker 4: a team that should add some receiving help in the draft.
Speaker 4: Whether that be Day two or in the first round.
Speaker 4: You know, that's up for debate, but I think that
Speaker 4: they should add somebody at least on Day two. The
Speaker 4: way it's set up today, Mark Andrews is going to
Speaker 4: be a part of this offense. It's just it's not
Speaker 4: you know, I think what a lot of people want
Speaker 4: to happen, because it hasn't been good for the last
Speaker 4: couple of years for him. But right now, I look
Speaker 4: at that offense and who else is going to be
Speaker 4: the red zone target? It's really nobody. Zay's not the
Speaker 4: red zone target. They don't have another guy on the
Speaker 4: offense right now that's a red zone target.
Speaker 3: It's Mark Andrews. Man.
Speaker 4: So I would write him down for seven, eight nine
Speaker 4: touchdowns probably this year if he and Lamar stay healthy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's and that's key obviously. You want to
Speaker 1: make sure that that those guys are are are out
Speaker 1: there and not hobbling around the way that they were
Speaker 1: last year when they played too By the way to
Speaker 1: a tongue of Iloa, let's let's go to this. This
Speaker 1: is a story on the Atlanta Falcons team website that
Speaker 1: Tongue of Iloa was is open to mentoring Michael Pennix junior.
Speaker 1: It's weird because tongue of Iloa is, like, I think,
Speaker 1: less than two years older than Penix, and yet he'd
Speaker 1: be mentoring him, which is weird.
Speaker 2: But Tua did lead the NFL in.
Speaker 1: Passing yardage not too long ago, so he does have
Speaker 1: some experience, had some chops. I this is more of
Speaker 1: a question of number one, what do you think happens
Speaker 1: at quarterback between Tongue of Ilow and I know Penix
Speaker 1: is recovering from an injury, who even.
Speaker 2: Gets that job?
Speaker 1: What's the likelihood Andrew that they keep that job? And
Speaker 1: then how big is the impact on Kyle Pitts, on
Speaker 1: Drake London, you know the pass catchers on this team,
Speaker 1: how big is the impact on them for who the
Speaker 1: quarterback ends up being on this squad?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I honestly I think this is Tua's job to lose.
Speaker 4: In Atlanta, I think a new coaching staff in the
Speaker 4: building clearly immediately felt like they needed to go address
Speaker 4: the quarterback position. They let Kirk Cousins walk, even though
Speaker 4: he had some history with Kevin Stefanski, and then you
Speaker 4: go out and target a guy on the market into
Speaker 4: a Tunguevai Lowe, who is probably one of the better
Speaker 4: names on the free agent market as far as quarterback goes.
Speaker 4: Part of me feels like Tua is being faded a
Speaker 4: little bit too hard after some dysfunctional years in Miami.
Speaker 4: I do like the supporting cast that he's gonna have
Speaker 4: here with Pitts in London and Bijon. I think he's
Speaker 4: a sneaky buy in dynasty leagues. I talked about him
Speaker 4: even before he was released from the Miami Dolphins and said,
Speaker 4: go buy him because a team's gonna invest in him.
Speaker 4: There's just too many of these free agent, you know,
Speaker 4: quarterbacks over the last couple of years that have been
Speaker 4: seen as reclamation projects. And somebody's gonna look at to
Speaker 4: a tongue of by low and say, you know what,
Speaker 4: we can make it work. And a lot of people said, Andrew,
Speaker 4: that's horrible. I'm never buying too, it's gross. I don't
Speaker 4: want him on my rosters. I said, suit yourself because
Speaker 4: he's basically free and you know, now we're looking at
Speaker 4: present day, I think he's gonna end up being the starter,
Speaker 4: it probably is just as good as it was with Pennix,
Speaker 4: if not maybe a slight upgrade for all of the
Speaker 4: receiving options. So with two under center, I have no
Speaker 4: issues with Kyle pitts ADP. I have zero issues with
Speaker 4: Drake London. I have zero issues with Beijon. I think
Speaker 4: it's gonna be back to business and I think a
Speaker 4: lot of this actually too. I just think they have
Speaker 4: an improved play caller in the building and Kevin Stefanski
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 1: This is a spinoff dynasty, spinoff question on something that
Speaker 1: you made me think of buying low on tongue of
Speaker 1: Bai Loo when you know he as a free agent,
Speaker 1: or when we all knew he was going to be
Speaker 1: a free agent. I think fantasy players have this, and
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of this too. We have this sort of
Speaker 1: urge to not buy in dynasty, not draft in best
Speaker 1: Ball or redraft or whatever players that are not on
Speaker 1: a team. Right It's difficult. It's just hard for us
Speaker 1: to make that connection. Why would I draft this guy?
Speaker 1: Why would I trade for this guy when he's a
Speaker 1: free agent or he's about to be a free agent.
Speaker 1: I think about these wide receivers, these veteran wide receivers
Speaker 1: that are still in the market that they're gonna get signed,
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, Deebo, Samuel Juwan Jennings, who I think we'll
Speaker 1: get into later on.
Speaker 2: You know, Keenan Allen.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I said Keenan Allen. He's another
Speaker 1: one these players. Do you find yourself making trade offers
Speaker 1: right now, maybe borderline insulting trade offers to acquire these
Speaker 1: receivers On the chief obviously it's going to take more
Speaker 1: to acquire Digs than it would to take the acquire
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. But is there something to that strategy as
Speaker 1: well to be by some of these free agent receivers
Speaker 1: right now whose value inevitably will go up once they
Speaker 1: signed with the team.
Speaker 2: How much? I don't know. Maybe it's negligible. But what
Speaker 2: do you make of that.
Speaker 1: Strategy as the first and second waves of NFL free
Speaker 1: agency are behind us and we could still potentially find
Speaker 1: a way to exploit what's going on right now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely think it's a strategy and I think
Speaker 4: people should do it, especially you bring up best Ball.
Speaker 4: You know these guys that we know when Week one
Speaker 4: comes around, they're going to be on an NFL roster
Speaker 4: somewhere we don't know where. But in Best Ball drafts
Speaker 4: right now, you're getting guys cheap, double digit rounds. If
Speaker 4: you're looking for ways to win in those types of formats,
Speaker 4: you need to have guys that you draft today who's
Speaker 4: ADP week one or right before week one are rounds
Speaker 4: higher because you were able to kind of predict the
Speaker 4: future or take a shot and gamble on the future
Speaker 4: and saw some of those gains already in the free
Speaker 4: agent or the preseason market. So yes, that's definitely a
Speaker 4: strategy that you should be using in Best Ball. You
Speaker 4: can use it in Dynasty too. You know, I'd like
Speaker 4: to I said it with two of because for me
Speaker 4: it was so easy to see kind of that the
Speaker 4: quarterback position is just one that it's really hard for
Speaker 4: guys not to.
Speaker 3: Get picked up.
Speaker 4: When you're the number first round pick just a few
Speaker 4: years ago and guys are gonna want to take a
Speaker 4: shot on you. I mean, I just I pointed back
Speaker 4: to previous Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold's all of these other
Speaker 4: guys that it didn't work out, and even guys like
Speaker 4: Justin Fields. We just talked about him he's on his
Speaker 4: what fourth or fifth team that somebody's giving him a
Speaker 4: shot somewhere like these guys just get chances man. So yes,
Speaker 4: I think the wide receivers in a best ball for sure,
Speaker 4: it's a little bit harder to project those guys because
Speaker 4: their roles and their production is a little bit more
Speaker 4: dependent on other guys. Whereas the quarterback, it's mainly just
Speaker 4: are you the starter or are you not the starter?
Speaker 4: But yeah, I definitely think those guys are definitely worth
Speaker 4: taking a shot on right now in Best.
Speaker 1: Balls, Denver Broncos have been in the news specifically, I
Speaker 1: want to talk about the report from Nick Cosmeider and
Speaker 1: The Athletic from two days ago that he said the
Speaker 1: Broncos are not in any kind of rush to thin
Speaker 1: out how deep their receiver room they're They're not in
Speaker 1: any kind of rush to kind of trade off assets
Speaker 1: to to pair that down. Now, this comes off the
Speaker 1: the Jail and Wattle trade, where the Broncos receiving corps
Speaker 1: looks pretty awesome with Sutton and Wattle at the top.
Speaker 2: I'm a Pat Bryant guy.
Speaker 1: I know there's plenty of people out there that are
Speaker 1: Troy Franklin guys, I'm kind of done with Marvin Mims,
Speaker 1: but I know there's still some Mims truthers out there
Speaker 1: that that say, no, not so fast, my friend. Your
Speaker 1: thoughts on on this receiver room as far as fantasy
Speaker 1: football goes to me, I think it's Sutton and I
Speaker 1: think it's Wattle obviously, But then after that, I still
Speaker 1: think there is more value in in either acquiring Pat
Speaker 1: Bryant and Dynasty or drafting him in Best Ball late.
Speaker 1: I do like him better than than Troy Franklin, but
Speaker 1: I'd love to get your thoughts on how the how
Speaker 1: you are viewing the Broncos receiving room in a fantasy
Speaker 1: football lens now that Jalen Wattle is a part of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the fit for Jalen Wattle.
Speaker 4: I think he has top twelve, top fifteen ish upside
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six being paired with bow Knicks here
Speaker 4: and kind of being the Sean Payton joker. You know,
Speaker 4: for many years we've talked about who's gonna be Sean
Speaker 4: Payton's joker, and we pinned guys like Evan Engram and whatnot.
Speaker 4: Jalen Wattle's gonna fit this scheme very very well, and
Speaker 4: I like the play calling.
Speaker 3: Going over to Davis Webb.
Speaker 4: He's talked about wanting to open this up and kind
Speaker 4: of tag downfield a little bit more, which I think
Speaker 4: bo Nicks is pretty good at. So I like Jalen
Speaker 4: Wattle a lot here, I like Courtland Sutton. It does
Speaker 4: come down to those guys, and I historically have been
Speaker 4: a Troy Franklin guy. I thought that he was a
Speaker 4: little bit undervalued when obviously Waddle was not on the team.
Speaker 3: Kind of had a little bit of a breakout last year.
Speaker 4: But when I'm looking at it from a scheme standpoint
Speaker 4: right now, Jalen Wattle's play style comes in and steps
Speaker 4: on the toes of a guy like Troy Franklin. It
Speaker 4: comes in steps on the toes of a guy like
Speaker 4: Marvin Mims as well. I see Marvin Mims more as
Speaker 4: a special teamer, kind of field stretcher for them. Now,
Speaker 4: Troy Franklin kind of the guy that I think is
Speaker 4: the odd man out despite him being the guy that
Speaker 4: I've backed. I wouldn't be surprised if they do trade
Speaker 4: it is Troy, But honestly, I don't see there being
Speaker 4: much of a market for Troy, and I don't see
Speaker 4: Troy really wanting to go anywhere with you know, his
Speaker 4: college teammate being on the roster there in Denver.
Speaker 3: So it's it's tough.
Speaker 4: I do think Pat Bryant, depending on where his cost
Speaker 4: is at in your leagues, is worth looking at because
Speaker 4: he does kind of play a little bit differently than
Speaker 4: Troy and Marvin and could fit into it as that
Speaker 4: third wide receiver. But right now, that pecking order is
Speaker 4: Jalen Waddell for me, top twelve upside, Courtland Sulton wide
Speaker 4: receiver two with some touchdown upside, and then everybody.
Speaker 2: Else let me let me throw this at you.
Speaker 1: I brought this up kind of organically last night, and
Speaker 1: maybe it has legs, maybe it doesn't. I don't know
Speaker 1: anybody else who's talking about this. I'll bring up the
Speaker 1: whole Sean Payton thing about where he mentioned Michael Thomas
Speaker 1: when he was talking about Pat Bryant. I will bring
Speaker 1: up there's a couple of games towards the end of
Speaker 1: last season when we do often see these rookie receivers
Speaker 1: kind of come alive, where Bryant was getting targets and
Speaker 1: injuries kind of forced him out of the game. So
Speaker 1: I say all that to tell you that after this season,
Speaker 1: there is a potential out in Courtland Sutton's contract less
Speaker 1: than a sixteen million dollar dead cap hit, they could
Speaker 1: get out of the Sutton business. And then to me,
Speaker 1: it would be the Bryant and Wattle show. Like Bryant
Speaker 1: would be the natural replacement. And then maybe Franklin takes
Speaker 1: on a bigger role too, because you don't have this
Speaker 1: target hog in Sutton demanding all this attention. But that's
Speaker 1: why I think Bryant right now is a sneaky guy
Speaker 1: to buy in Dynasty, especially after the acquisition of Waddle.
Speaker 1: I mean there's probably quite frank we away have Dynasty
Speaker 1: Cutdown Day in the FFPC coming up on March thirty first.
Speaker 1: There's probably gonna be people that release Bryant because they
Speaker 1: could only keep sixteen players on their ross.
Speaker 2: Maybe you don't even have to give up a draft
Speaker 2: pick for him.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be the Dallas Cowboys and and
Speaker 1: give up a pick for a player that's about to
Speaker 1: be caught. And I think that's what makes Bryant so
Speaker 1: intriguing right now, because I think this is the time
Speaker 1: to get them, and if they do part ways with
Speaker 1: Sutton after next season. Yesterday's price is not today's price.
Speaker 4: And the big thing with Sutton too is I would
Speaker 4: see Sutton as a potential guy who'd be willing to
Speaker 4: take a pay cut to stay in Denver, assuming everything.
Speaker 3: Stays as good as it was last year.
Speaker 4: People need to remember, man, I've said this a few
Speaker 4: times when people are like, no, that, No, that didn't happen. Guys,
Speaker 4: they were a BONICKX injury away from a super Bowl appearance,
Speaker 4: and I think they would have gave Seattle a decent
Speaker 4: run for their money had they gone to that super Bowl.
Speaker 4: So it's a team that's ready to win right now.
Speaker 4: If Suton wants to stay, they want him to stay,
Speaker 4: but they need a little bit of cap, you know,
Speaker 4: room for him to make it happen. I would see
Speaker 4: Courtland Sunn as a guy who'd be willing to probably
Speaker 4: take a pay cut and stay in Denver.
Speaker 1: And contending team, a team that you know, who knows.
Speaker 1: Maybe they go to the super Bowl this year and
Speaker 1: they want to keep the band together, and Sutton wants
Speaker 1: to be on that band or on that that that bus,
Speaker 1: the band bust or whatever. It would make sense. The
Speaker 1: other thing I wanted to bring up with the Broncos,
Speaker 1: and I mentioned this on the High Stakes Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Our last night.
Speaker 2: I haven't made up my mind on.
Speaker 1: How I feel about RJ. Harvey. They kind of overdrafted
Speaker 1: him last year, but then they they brought in JK. Dobbins,
Speaker 1: which I always thought they were going to bring in somebody.
Speaker 1: It was never gonna be Harvey's backfield last year, and
Speaker 1: I kind of thought the same thing this year. But
Speaker 1: then they're paying Dobbins like ten million dollars this year.
Speaker 1: It was a bigger.
Speaker 2: Contract than I expected.
Speaker 1: And then Nick cosmider I might have been the same
Speaker 1: article that he was talking about the Broncos wide receivers.
Speaker 1: He says that the coaching staff thinks that there's a
Speaker 1: year two jump coming for Harvey. So what the front
Speaker 1: office is doing with contracts with Dobbins and what the
Speaker 1: coaching staff is saying, I don't know if they're trying
Speaker 1: to rise up RJ.
Speaker 2: Rvey here or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about Harvey as a dynast the
Speaker 1: asset right now? Andrew seeing both what happened last year
Speaker 1: on the field and now hearing what's going on off
Speaker 1: the field as far as what the front office is
Speaker 1: doing and what the coaching staff is saying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think the short answer and I'll
Speaker 4: get into why is I do think he's a little
Speaker 4: bit undervalued in the market right now, and I think
Speaker 4: he's a little bit overheted in the market right now.
Speaker 3: To me, the JK.
Speaker 4: Dobbins signing was the best of the worst case scenarios
Speaker 4: that could have happened for RJ. Harvey, because when you
Speaker 4: have them being rumored for Etns and Kenneth Walkers and
Speaker 4: a lot of these other big names, because those names
Speaker 4: were being floated around in Denver, you start to think, man,
Speaker 4: is that is there smoke.
Speaker 3: Over there where RJ.
Speaker 4: Harvey was drafted highly, but they could really bring in
Speaker 4: a guy here who could really hurt his fantasy upside.
Speaker 4: And then the plan is JK. Dobbins, who he did
Speaker 4: share with last year. And then you have some of
Speaker 4: the injury woes for JK pretty much annually. At this point,
Speaker 4: it do feel like the best of the worst scenarios.
Speaker 4: Anybody before free agency who felt like RJ. Harvey was
Speaker 4: gonna be handed the full workload that never really was RJ.
Speaker 3: Harvey's whole profile.
Speaker 4: He seemed like a little bit more of a guy
Speaker 4: who's gonna be a little bit of a receiving back,
Speaker 4: a change of pace guy, a third down guy, and
Speaker 4: then you're gonna have somebody who's the early down grinder
Speaker 4: and a goal line guy.
Speaker 3: That's what JK. Dobbins is.
Speaker 4: So because of that, I think the market was high
Speaker 4: Dobbins signs, and now the market's so cold on him
Speaker 4: that I'm kind of interested again. I mean, I think
Speaker 4: of you know where we look at some of these
Speaker 4: other websites right now. I just pulled up KTC not
Speaker 4: too long ago the other day and Bachel Tuton had
Speaker 4: passed RJ. Harvey by a couple running back slots. Why
Speaker 4: is Bachel Twoton more confident? Why are we more confident
Speaker 4: in him as a starter than we are RJ.
Speaker 3: Harvey.
Speaker 1: RJ.
Speaker 4: Harvey has the better draft capital, He's in the better offense,
Speaker 4: he has probably the better offensive line there in Denver
Speaker 4: than what Jacksonville had, and he the pass catching up
Speaker 4: side where you could point right back to jackson Ville
Speaker 4: and say they paid Chris Rodriguez. It's not as sexy
Speaker 4: of a name as JK. Dobbins, but they paid him money,
Speaker 4: and he has history with Liam Cohen. So I don't
Speaker 4: know where we're feeling more confident in a guy like two,
Speaker 4: and he's.
Speaker 3: Probably a bye.
Speaker 4: If there's people out there willing to sell you R. J.
Speaker 4: Harvey for anything less than a late first round pick.
Speaker 4: If somebody's like, yeah, I'll take that to a one
Speaker 4: and reroll it, I'm all in, man.
Speaker 2: I'm getting Harvey instead.
Speaker 3: Right, absolutely, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I feel like, you know, I picked at
Speaker 1: the end of a lot of my rookie drafts last
Speaker 1: year because I'm awesome at dynasty fantasy football. I'm just kidding,
Speaker 1: but I did get Harvey in a few spots. But
Speaker 1: it's interesting you say that because if I I mean, man,
Speaker 1: I don't play dynasty this way, but like, it's interesting
Speaker 1: to me that people would be so willing to give
Speaker 1: up on Harvey and get sort of a similar draft
Speaker 1: pick this year in a much weaker running back class. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know why you'd want to do that, but
Speaker 1: to each their own. And I'll say that just to
Speaker 1: put a bow on the conversation. Not that this affects
Speaker 1: us and that what we do with dynasty Fantasy football values,
Speaker 1: but remember there's a lot of reports out there that
Speaker 1: the Jaguars wanted to get RJ. Harvey in the third round,
Speaker 1: and then when the Broncos took up, then they pivoted
Speaker 1: and they drafted two and later. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And I think it's worth noting too, Like I'll
Speaker 4: put this into perspective as well for people, because right
Speaker 4: now a lot of people are trying to figure out
Speaker 4: do I trade my rookie pick for this player? Do
Speaker 4: I trade my player for this rookie pick?
Speaker 3: If RJ.
Speaker 4: Harvey today, knowing what we know based off you know,
Speaker 4: not seeing the draft capital or the landing spots for
Speaker 4: the running backs in this year's class, if I had
Speaker 4: to pick blindly the RB two whoever that is this year,
Speaker 4: or Harvey, I'm taking Harvey right now.
Speaker 1: As long as you bring this up.
Speaker 2: How active are you in.
Speaker 1: Trading twenty twenty six picks for twenty twenty seven picks
Speaker 1: right now? Is that something that you're focused on at all?
Speaker 4: I've been doing it. I've been doing it basically since
Speaker 4: the trade deadlines. In some of my leagues of last year,
Speaker 4: where it looked like I was kind of being a
Speaker 4: super strong contender, a top three or a top four
Speaker 4: team in my league. I was trying to flip those
Speaker 4: first just in the future and trying to get something
Speaker 4: extra on top. Right now, you cannot get extra on top.
Speaker 4: If anything, You're gonna have to give something on top
Speaker 4: of your twenty twenty six pick to get that twenty
Speaker 4: seven pick. But I'm all for it outside of probably
Speaker 4: the top five top six picks. If I'm in the
Speaker 4: top five or top six pick this year, I'm cool
Speaker 4: sitting there and picking.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: I like the players there. I think the players have talent.
Speaker 4: I think that they have upside. Like I'm good with it.
Speaker 4: I had somebody in one of my leagues ask me
Speaker 4: if I wanted to trade the one oh five and
Speaker 4: reroll it into next year. I'm good, man, I'll just
Speaker 4: take my wide receiver there. I'll take whoever it is,
Speaker 4: Fernando Mendoza if he falls in a super flex, I'll
Speaker 4: take them and just roll with it.
Speaker 1: So, and obviously this will probably change once these rookies
Speaker 1: have homes, but the top six in rookie drafts for you,
Speaker 1: Andrew Mott, as it stands right now that you're cool
Speaker 1: with taking Love Mendoza. The three receivers in Sadik or
Speaker 1: is it another receiver?
Speaker 4: I have Sadiq in the tier with Casey conceptsi On.
Speaker 4: I think Casey conceptsion should be up there. And you know,
Speaker 4: I know he's gotten a lot of buzz on the
Speaker 4: Internet the last couple of days because Matt Harmon dropped
Speaker 4: his reception perception profile and it looked pretty clean for
Speaker 4: case But go check the receipts.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: We've been on KC for months now. Over there on
Speaker 4: draft Nerds, we've been talking about Casey is the wide
Speaker 4: receiver for in this class, and he's right there in
Speaker 4: that Kenyan Sadik teer with me. I wouldn't be surprised
Speaker 4: if he's a day one wide receiver prospect.
Speaker 2: Do I have I'm just gonna look at the rundown here.
Speaker 2: I do have conceptsi On.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll talk about him later because I have another
Speaker 1: question I want to answer about him sticking with the
Speaker 1: veterans right now. John Keem John Kim not sure, but
Speaker 1: I am sure that he covers the commanders for ESPN.
Speaker 1: He thinks the commanders are going to quote go in
Speaker 1: a different direction than signing Juwan Jennings in free agency.
Speaker 1: We'll get to Jennings in a second. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: the Commanders with you. It sounds like this Ayuk trade
Speaker 1: or this Auk signing from the Niners to the Commanders
Speaker 1: to pair him up with his old collegiate quarterback and
Speaker 1: Jane Daniels. It sounds like that's probably not going to happen.
Speaker 1: At least the reports I've been reading, it doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like that's coming to fruition. Juwan Jennings is still out there.
Speaker 1: Commanders don't seem to be interested in them or in him.
Speaker 1: I have heard nothing. Obviously, they're not they they're not
Speaker 1: bringing back Samuel. I've heard nothing about Keenan Allen. I've
Speaker 1: heard nothing about Stefan Diggs. I've heard nothing about this.
Speaker 1: Does this mean that the Commanders are cool with utilizing
Speaker 1: some serious draft capital Round one, round two on a
Speaker 1: receiver this year that is going to play next to
Speaker 1: McLaurin and eventually dare I say, become the number one
Speaker 1: in Washington for Jayden Daniels in his prime?
Speaker 4: It could be man and I think Jordan Tyson fits
Speaker 4: there so well. And you can kind of make the
Speaker 4: ASU connections too if.
Speaker 3: You want to do the helmet thing.
Speaker 4: But I think Jordan Tyson's play style could really be
Speaker 4: a number one do it all all around wide receiver
Speaker 4: for Jayden and Daniels. And like I said a little
Speaker 4: bit earlier, I think he has the highest ceiling they
Speaker 4: probably could. That's the landing spot though that I keep
Speaker 4: writing down Jeremiah Love. He kind of feels like the
Speaker 4: playmaker that they end up going for. The thing is,
Speaker 4: I don't know if a team jumps Washington to get Jeremiah,
Speaker 4: because I think we could see something similar to last
Speaker 4: year where a team trades up tries to go get
Speaker 4: a running back. We saw that happen. Correct me if
Speaker 4: I'm wrong, if I'm misremembering, but I think the Raiders
Speaker 4: jumps Jacksonville right to go get the running back.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look that up right now, because now I'm
Speaker 1: not sure.
Speaker 4: I might I might be misremembering, but I thought there
Speaker 4: was a trade or maybe it was somebody jumped in
Speaker 4: the second round.
Speaker 3: I can't remember, but somebody jumped and got a running back.
Speaker 4: But I wouldn't be surprised to see a team come
Speaker 4: up and get Jeremiah because Jeremiah, to me, when you
Speaker 4: look at every position, every player, everybody in this class
Speaker 4: he's the number one prospect. He's the best player in
Speaker 4: this entire draft class, and I wouldn't be surprised to
Speaker 4: see a team go up and get him, especially because
Speaker 4: you've seen a lot of these teams like Kansas City
Speaker 4: and New Orleans who've went out and addressed the position
Speaker 4: in free agency. Right That tells me they thought they
Speaker 4: couldn't get Jeremiah. Yeah, there's something being said in these
Speaker 4: inner circles that Jeremiah's going early and if you want him,
Speaker 4: you got to go up and get him.
Speaker 1: So, if I'm asking you right now, because I don't
Speaker 1: think I have love on the rundown, does he go
Speaker 1: to Tennessee? Is that where you're thinking he's ends up
Speaker 1: going or is there a better Is there a choice
Speaker 1: that you think is more likely?
Speaker 4: No, I don't like the Tennessee fit for him. I
Speaker 4: think Tennessee. I know I've said his name a couple
Speaker 4: of times. If we're being dead honest. The best pick
Speaker 4: that Tennessee can make, I think is Carnell Tape. If
Speaker 4: Carnelli goes number four, you pair him with cam Ward.
Speaker 4: I think he's the best fit for that offense.
Speaker 3: He pairs the big.
Speaker 4: Arm with cam Ward with the deep ball ability of
Speaker 4: Carnell Tate, and it gives him a true number one
Speaker 4: wide receiver. So if I had to say, this is
Speaker 4: Andrew Mott's crystal ball and I'm looking into the future,
Speaker 4: the Titans, they end up going wide receiver with Carnell.
Speaker 4: The Giants, I think they end up taking something on defense.
Speaker 4: We've heard some of the rumors of Scataboo and Tracy
Speaker 4: being in jeopardy because they like Jeremiah Love. I think
Speaker 4: they go defense, probably like a Sunny Styles or something
Speaker 4: like that out of Ohio State. And that means Washington's
Speaker 4: the first team that I'm really looking at. But I
Speaker 4: don't think that Washington is. If they don't want Jeremiah Love,
Speaker 4: I could see them being a seller.
Speaker 3: I could also see, you.
Speaker 4: Know, some of these other teams right behind them. If
Speaker 4: they don't take it, the Saints become sellers or the
Speaker 4: Chiefs become sellers and start moving back for a team
Speaker 4: that wants to jump up. Could a team like Minnesota
Speaker 4: who kind of needs a running back be willing to
Speaker 4: go up and grab him if they feel like they
Speaker 4: can make this thing work with Kyler Murray this year
Speaker 4: with a roster that they.
Speaker 3: Think maybe can compete in the NFC North.
Speaker 1: How much of that is honesty and how much of
Speaker 1: that is wish casting for you for your vibe.
Speaker 4: Probably probably thirty seventy. I'd say thirty percent wishful, seventy
Speaker 4: percent honesty. No, but uh, you could see a lot
Speaker 4: of these teams, man, I don't think that there's going
Speaker 4: to be a lack of teams interested in Jeremiah Love.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1: Uh. And I heard, you know, Arizona was being mentioned
Speaker 1: for a while that that he was going to go there,
Speaker 1: and then Arizona obviously restructured Connor and then they bring
Speaker 1: aboard Tyler Algier wouldn't make much sense there. And and
Speaker 1: I'm also with you, like I could see the Titans
Speaker 1: drafting him, But if I was the GM, that's not
Speaker 1: That's not the direction I would want to go with
Speaker 1: that pick at all, with so many other holes. And
Speaker 1: then I still don't and I'll bring this up briefly
Speaker 1: with you. I don't understand why we heard that the
Speaker 1: Giants were looking at signing Kenneth Walker and and now
Speaker 1: we hear that they still might want to be in
Speaker 1: the Jeremiah Love business as well. What do we what
Speaker 1: do we as Dynasty players now do with our camp
Speaker 1: Scataboo and our Tyrone Tracy assets that I mean, do
Speaker 1: we just believe that this is like smoke screen stuff
Speaker 1: or is there legitimate reporting here being done that you believe, like, hey,
Speaker 1: the Giants aren't satisfied with their backfield and Skataboo and
Speaker 1: Tracy owners should be unnotice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you got to kind of look at
Speaker 4: it and say, the team that fell in love with
Speaker 4: Skataboo and drafted Skataboo isn't there anymore. The front office
Speaker 4: isn't there, Like this is a new front office, new
Speaker 4: coaching staff. They're going to find their guys. They're going
Speaker 4: to like their guys. However, I look back at it
Speaker 4: and I say, you know, when they came over, Harbaugh
Speaker 4: came over, he talked about Skataboo being a piece of
Speaker 4: that offense that he wanted to keep running through.
Speaker 3: So I'm a little bit more confident in Scataboo. Tracy.
Speaker 4: I think you'd be lucky to find a buyer right
Speaker 4: now anyways, especially with some of the smoke going on.
Speaker 4: But with Skataboo, I'm probably holding unless somebody in my
Speaker 4: league believes this is all smoke, and then I'm willing
Speaker 4: to negate some of that risk and get off of
Speaker 4: it just to give you Scataboo. But he's kind of
Speaker 4: a guy that I thought was a sell. Anyways, I
Speaker 4: had a few Scataboo shares. I sold him immediately after
Speaker 4: the injury, and I did take a little bit of
Speaker 4: an injury discount, Like I got probably eighty cents on
Speaker 4: the dollar for Scataboo. But at the time he was
Speaker 4: being valued as like a first plus in Dynasty Leafs
Speaker 4: because of the run he just came off of.
Speaker 1: And maybe that's what it is the fact that there
Speaker 1: is new decision makers in New York that you know,
Speaker 1: view that running back room very differently than than what
Speaker 1: the previous regime did. Stefan Diggs is a player that
Speaker 1: I've mentioned a couple of times now. In this first segment,
Speaker 1: Tom Pallisero on the NFL Network said that he may
Speaker 1: have to wait to sign in free agency with the
Speaker 1: compensatory pick formula still in play prior to the NFL Draft,
Speaker 1: Maybe some of these receivers just get scooped up on
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday after the draft is complete, which is
Speaker 1: because that's when a lot of the undrafted free agents
Speaker 1: are signing. We could see Stefan Diggs signing that as well.
Speaker 1: We mentioned about, you know, trying to acquire these players
Speaker 1: in dynasty drafting them late. What do you think is
Speaker 1: the best landing spot for Diggs now that we know
Speaker 1: it won't be New England and obviously you know with
Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs, no chance they bring him back.
Speaker 2: Perfect world.
Speaker 1: If you had Stefan Diggs on your dynasty team right now, Andrew,
Speaker 1: where do you want him to go?
Speaker 4: He's such a tough one to look at and say
Speaker 4: that there's the right spot. However, we just talked about Washington.
Speaker 4: If Washington does go Jeremiah, could they go with a
Speaker 4: veteran next to Terry and go with Stefan Diggs as
Speaker 4: the number two? That would be a decent spot. Could
Speaker 4: you maybe see him end up being a guy that
Speaker 4: does go play for a Giants as their number two
Speaker 4: next to em elite neighbors if they don't want to
Speaker 4: go wide receiver in the draft either. So there's a
Speaker 4: couple of spots where I think you'd like to see
Speaker 4: him pair with a younger quarterbacks who has a little
Speaker 4: bit more zip on that football like Daniels in Dark
Speaker 4: Do and probably somewhere where he can step in as
Speaker 4: a number two more so a veteran guy that can
Speaker 4: help teach a young wide receiver or just be a
Speaker 4: role player.
Speaker 3: In that offense.
Speaker 4: But it's tough with him, man, because I think the
Speaker 4: days of one hundred and twenty plus targets are gone
Speaker 4: with him. I don't think we're really seeing that type
Speaker 4: of stuff. And I do think that there's quite a
Speaker 4: few teams that probably will be scared off of one,
Speaker 4: you know, him coming off of the injury last year
Speaker 4: and then having some of the off the field issues
Speaker 4: that he had last year as well. There might be
Speaker 4: a couple of teams that are a little bit uninterested
Speaker 4: in that.
Speaker 2: What about Miami with Malik Willis and then obviously the
Speaker 2: Dolphins probably should be drafting at least one receiver on.
Speaker 1: The day two. I mean they have seven picks in
Speaker 1: the first two days of the draft this year. But
Speaker 1: what about Digs in Miami? Because I could see him,
Speaker 1: you know Pan, The question is would he really want
Speaker 1: to go there? I mean, I know he'd want to
Speaker 1: go to that party. That's probably his atmosphere, But I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna see a whole lot of
Speaker 1: winning in Miami in twenty six.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think that's the thing too, because
Speaker 4: like you got to think of him, he's kind of
Speaker 4: gotten close to this whole super Bowl thing a few
Speaker 4: times now, and it feels like he's a guy who
Speaker 4: really wants to get over that hump.
Speaker 3: And how many teams can you really do this on?
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm looking at a couple of the teams
Speaker 4: that might need a receiver, like Cleveland, you're not interested
Speaker 4: in probably going to play for the Browns. You say
Speaker 4: Miami like they're not going to be super competitive next year.
Speaker 4: Are you actually that interested?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: Is he a guy that's gonna end up going to
Speaker 4: Like would he run it back in Houston? I don't know,
Speaker 4: but like there's just like not a lot of landings.
Speaker 2: Vegas, Andrew, what about Las Vegas?
Speaker 4: That could be interesting if he believes him Indoza as
Speaker 4: the rookie quarterback and wants to do the rookie quarterback
Speaker 4: thing a sneaky one that I wouldn't be shocked to
Speaker 4: see him like take a little bit of a lesser
Speaker 4: role to maybe go play somewhere nice, Like, could he
Speaker 4: end up going to play the wide receiver three in
Speaker 4: Detroit for the Lions?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't. I don't see it happening because
Speaker 1: of the capitol they gave up for Tesla and I
Speaker 1: think they really want to unleash him this year. But
Speaker 1: you know what, what what would really be fun and
Speaker 1: shout out and rip James Vanderbeek aka Jonathan mox and
Speaker 1: from Varsity Blues. Detroit could run the oop to oop
Speaker 1: where you have Williams and Saint Brown and Laporta and
Speaker 1: Tesla and Gibbs in the backfield and then uh, well,
Speaker 1: I guess you couldn't do that. You couldn't have Gibbs
Speaker 1: and Digs out out there as well, But that would
Speaker 1: be a caval and you know what their defense is,
Speaker 1: especially their secondary is probably still not good enough. I mean,
Speaker 1: we'll see what they do in the draft where Detroit
Speaker 1: might be scoring thirty plus points against this Yeah?
Speaker 3: Is he is he the Baltimore guy?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Could he be the Baltimore guy opposite Zay and then
Speaker 4: be Lamar's number two?
Speaker 2: Oh that's I like that quite a bit.
Speaker 1: You know, the monkey wrench into that is and maybe
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter, but didn't they just pay Bateman
Speaker 1: last year and.
Speaker 4: So yeah, him, there's some plenty money in that deal
Speaker 4: though to where like it's not gonna be owed unless
Speaker 4: there's like past a trigger date or something like that,
Speaker 4: Like you know how they put that in some of
Speaker 4: the contracts, like you have to get to a certain
Speaker 4: date for the money to trigger. So we'll see what
Speaker 4: happens with Bateman. But I honestly, I'll tell you what,
Speaker 4: I don't think the digs is going to command that
Speaker 4: big of a market. I think he's playing close to
Speaker 4: vet minimum these days.
Speaker 1: Which I'm sure he doesn't like, but but it is
Speaker 1: what it is. Father time comes for all us. Last
Speaker 1: thing I want to bring up this hour, Colton Pounce
Speaker 1: covers the Lions for the Athletic. Don't rule out the
Speaker 1: Lions drafting and running back this offseason. This is after
Speaker 1: they let Montgomery go to the Texans. But they did
Speaker 1: sign Isaiah Pacheco.
Speaker 2: This, I just this is.
Speaker 1: More of a confirmation from you if they do draft
Speaker 1: somebody even on Day two. This this, that and the
Speaker 1: signing of Pacheco that does not have any kind of
Speaker 1: significant impact on Jamiir Gibbs value.
Speaker 3: Right, None, Nope.
Speaker 4: I think that Jamiir Gibbs will still be in contention
Speaker 4: for RB one overall, and I'm not too worried about
Speaker 4: it even if it's day two. I think what that
Speaker 4: does is if it's a day two running back, that
Speaker 4: tells you a little bit more about how they feel
Speaker 4: about what they might get from Pachecko, and it's more
Speaker 4: of an open competition for the change of pace guy
Speaker 4: behind Gibbs than it is actually just handing Pachecko that role.
Speaker 1: I think we got through a lot here, Andrew and
Speaker 1: I want to get into some fun stuff in the
Speaker 1: second hour. We will get into some Dynasty rookie talk,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna lead things off with a Dynasty action
Speaker 1: plan for one, justin Jefferson now that Kyler Murray is aboard,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna weave my way into talking to you
Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray too and his impact not only on Jefferson,
Speaker 1: the rest of the Vikings offense. We will talk Kenneth Walker,
Speaker 1: Luther Burden as well. I am with Andrew Mott from
Speaker 1: Dynasty Nerds League FFB tonight on YouTube, so glad to
Speaker 1: have him aboard. So glad to have you aboard. Don't

Speaker 1: Back live here on FFPC Insider Access our number two
Speaker 1: rolls on here for this March twenty sixth, twenty twenty
Speaker 1: sixth edition, being joined tonight by the wonderful, the intelligent,
Speaker 1: and the well. I can't say well adjusted for an
Speaker 1: NFL fan because I'm in northeast Wisconsin, so I'm obviously
Speaker 1: a Packers guy.
Speaker 2: Andrew, you are in Minnesota, Vikings guy.
Speaker 1: That's okay. I know plenty of well adjusted, smart people
Speaker 1: who are Minnesota Vikings fans that I'm not going to
Speaker 1: do the skull. I'm not going to give the skull
Speaker 1: any kind of I tried. That's fine, but certainly I
Speaker 1: want to I want to pick your brain tonight with
Speaker 1: with the Vikings with with sort of a different offense
Speaker 1: this year that they're going to have at least from
Speaker 1: the onset with Kyler Murray under center as opposed to
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. So we will kick things off for this
Speaker 1: Dynasty Action Plan segment. What is the Dynasty Action plan
Speaker 1: on a guy like Justin Jefferson. Quite frankly, I think
Speaker 1: the biggest thing I need to ask you here, how
Speaker 1: much has his value changed now that Murray should be
Speaker 1: the starter over McCarthy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think it should give people a
Speaker 4: little bit more confidence. We've seen a guy like Kyler
Speaker 4: Murray go out and produce top end wide receivers. I know,
Speaker 4: you got to look back a little bit to the
Speaker 4: DeAndre Hopkins days there in Arizona, but that's probably the
Speaker 4: last level of talent wide receiver that is comparable to
Speaker 4: a guy like Justin Jefferson. And I think most of
Speaker 4: us would look at j Justter Jefferson, Justin Jefferson in
Speaker 4: his prime today and say that we'd prefer him than
Speaker 4: the DeAndre Hopkins there. But I do think he's a
Speaker 4: player that's definitely seen his value increase. There was a
Speaker 4: lot of people where I feel like there was some
Speaker 4: panic cells with Justin Jefferson based off of the JJ
Speaker 4: McCarthy's stuff. Seems like he's kind of settled in for
Speaker 4: most people now around the dynasty wide receiver five six seven.
Speaker 4: What is that going to mean for you from a
Speaker 4: single season perspective, It's probably still going to be a
Speaker 4: first round to an early second round turn pick for
Speaker 4: you in most redraft single season leagues. But I think
Speaker 4: he's a player that I'm feeling a little bit more
Speaker 4: comfortable with today knowing that Kyler Murray's the quarterback one.
Speaker 1: You know, I think everybody, myself included, wants to know
Speaker 1: what the impact is on Justin Jefferson, Is the impact
Speaker 1: on Jordan Addison or TJ. Hockinson.
Speaker 2: Does that change at all with Murray under center as well?
Speaker 3: I think everybody gets an uptick.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: I think for me, it's going to be in the
Speaker 4: order of Jefferson than Addison than Hawkinson. Hawkinson is somebody
Speaker 4: that I think is more likely out of his prime
Speaker 4: these days. We haven't really seen Hawkinson bounce back from
Speaker 4: the injury that he suffered a couple of seasons ago
Speaker 4: there in twenty twenty three when he had the acl MCL.
Speaker 3: We haven't really.
Speaker 4: Seen him bounce back. The usage has been there, it's
Speaker 4: just it hasn't really panned out. And that's been you know,
Speaker 4: not having the athleticism the way it was previously and
Speaker 4: the bad quarterback play. But I still think Jordan Addison,
Speaker 4: for what it's worth right now, probably undervalued too, especially
Speaker 4: in best ball formats where you're gonna get those big
Speaker 4: weeks from Jordan Addison where you can score one or
Speaker 4: two touchdowns off of a couple of big plays. He's
Speaker 4: probably been a little bit forgotten about right now.
Speaker 1: Does do they have a contract decision coming up to
Speaker 1: make about Addison, like with a fifth year option or anything.
Speaker 3: They're gonna have a fifth year option decision to make
Speaker 3: next summer.
Speaker 1: Next summer? Okay, perfect, So that's what That's what we're
Speaker 1: looking at there, all right. So that's the Vikings portion
Speaker 1: of the program tonight. We know that you will be
Speaker 1: rooting for Jeremiah Love to come by Minnesota and quite
Speaker 1: Frank Wish, I mean, you think about it too. I
Speaker 1: remember when Adrian Peterson got drafted by the Vikings. I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is just effing great that now we've got to
Speaker 1: put up with this guy in the division. And by
Speaker 1: the way he panned out, obviously, we all know how
Speaker 1: that story ended. Unbelievable Hall of Fame career for Peterson
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. They could do it again with Jeremiah Love.
Speaker 1: We'll see, Okay, Devon a Chant, let's read between the
Speaker 1: lines here with Jeff Hafley, the defensive coordinator for the
Speaker 1: Packers John Eric Sullivan the front office. I can't remember
Speaker 1: what his official title was with the Packers, but now
Speaker 1: he's the GM for the Dolphins. One of the things
Speaker 1: that these guys said in their opening press conferences was
Speaker 1: having to go up north in Deceummer to play against
Speaker 1: the Bills, the Jets, the Patriots to try to compete
Speaker 1: for division titles. Halfley, I think, was the one who said,
Speaker 1: you know, when it gets cold, speed sometimes gets slow,
Speaker 1: but big never gets small.
Speaker 2: And what do they do?
Speaker 1: They trade their speedster Jalen Waddle to Denver. They let
Speaker 1: Tyreek kill Goo, who's one of his big calling cards
Speaker 1: with speed. Granted he's dealing with a significant injury, so
Speaker 1: I get it, but I'm kind of wondering now if
Speaker 1: and they said they're not trading Devon a Chant, which
Speaker 1: makes perfect sense. He's basically the best weapon they have
Speaker 1: on that offense right now. But what's the dynasty action
Speaker 1: plan and a guy like Devon a Chan where he
Speaker 1: is sort of like the last significant fantasy piece standing
Speaker 1: in this post. Mike McDaniel era that Miami's undergoing right now.
Speaker 1: Dolphins could look a lot different after the draft. They
Speaker 1: could have a couple of day one and day two receivers.
Speaker 1: They might sign a veteran and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the receiver room is not looking so bad anymore. They
Speaker 1: get add a tight end to go with dulsage too.
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line is it could be a
Speaker 1: lot worse. So that's not in the worst shape in
Speaker 1: the world. But a Chan as it stands right now, kind.
Speaker 2: Of a weird guy. What's your action plan? What are
Speaker 2: you doing?
Speaker 1: Is he a guy that we should be out out
Speaker 1: there trying to acquire or is all this other stuff,
Speaker 1: this uncertainty at least, is that causing you to maybe.
Speaker 2: I want to get out of the a Chan business
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think it's ultimately it's going to
Speaker 4: be lead dependent. But we have seen the market kind
Speaker 4: of cool on a Chan a little bit.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: He was the guy who most people viewed as the
Speaker 4: consensus unanimous RB three behind Gibbs and bijon whichever order
Speaker 4: you had those two guys in. But we've seen him
Speaker 4: over the recent month or two kind of start falling
Speaker 4: behind guys like Genti and falling behind guys like Amrion Hampton,
Speaker 4: and I wouldn't be surprised if Jeremiah Love once he's
Speaker 4: on an active NFL roster, and we can see the
Speaker 4: landing spot kind of jump at Devon h Chan as well,
Speaker 4: So the market has cooled on him.
Speaker 3: I'm okay buying if.
Speaker 4: It is at eighty cents on the dollar or ninety
Speaker 4: cents on the dollar, I'm okay buying in because I
Speaker 4: do think you have to think of it from a
Speaker 4: different perspective of it could be a little bit of
Speaker 4: a rough twenty twenty six season. There is a little
Speaker 4: bit of uncertainty with Malik Willis doing some of the
Speaker 4: rushing and maybe he's not gonna check down as much
Speaker 4: as two A where Devon H Chan was making a
Speaker 4: lot of his money in the receiving game. But everybody
Speaker 4: with common sense, I think, including the guys you mentioned
Speaker 4: in that front office, No, you can't rebuild a team,
Speaker 4: or you shouldn't. It's not the best decision the rebuild
Speaker 4: the team and then pay a running back a big contract.
Speaker 3: I think Devon A.
Speaker 4: Chan is more likely than not going to be out
Speaker 4: of Miami in the next twelve months. And whichever team
Speaker 4: goes out and gets Devon a Chan is getting him
Speaker 4: because they believe in him. And will feature him in
Speaker 4: their offense. So yes, you got to look at it
Speaker 4: in the short term of Devon a Chan's twenty twenty six,
Speaker 4: maybe a little bit less than what we're used to
Speaker 4: looking back the last previous two years, but I do
Speaker 4: think he's still a big play maker, one of the
Speaker 4: best running backs in football, one of the highest points
Speaker 4: scoring assets that we could have in Dynasty fantasy football.
Speaker 4: So somebody I'm still definitely interested in getting, especially if
Speaker 4: there's some panic around his name right now.
Speaker 1: Still talented, I mean, he's still making plays and he's
Speaker 1: the Kevin Durant or he's like a Kevin Durant type
Speaker 1: player in the NFL where he can just go anywhere
Speaker 1: and be great and an offense will be able to
Speaker 1: use him. Is there any credence to this when they
Speaker 1: talk about wanting to get bigger, more physical, that's not
Speaker 1: Jalen it's calling card. It's not a chance calling card.
Speaker 1: Ali Gordon is like two twenty five, like six two
Speaker 1: two twenty five. Is he low key to borrow a
Speaker 1: phrase from the kids, is he low key a sleeper
Speaker 1: right now in Dynasty that you may want to see
Speaker 1: and sniff around and maybe acquire on your teams because
Speaker 1: his role could grow this year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think he he flashed in spurts
Speaker 4: early in twenty twenty five, looked like he could be
Speaker 4: a complimentary piece in this offense.
Speaker 3: It does come down to, you know, whether they believe
Speaker 3: he's the.
Speaker 4: Guy or do these Packers front office guys who are
Speaker 4: now in Miami see somebody in this year's draft class
Speaker 4: that maybe they like to take a shot on, Like
Speaker 4: that's something that I also could see them doing where
Speaker 4: maybe they do open the door for some of these
Speaker 4: conversations of we could trade a chan and go get
Speaker 4: a guy on Day two to maybe bring him in
Speaker 4: and if the h Hn trade doesn't happen, he's our
Speaker 4: change of pace guy. But if the Hn trade happens,
Speaker 4: this is our guy that will roll out with Ollie
Speaker 4: Gordon or maybe a veteran running back from the free
Speaker 4: agent market.
Speaker 1: No doubt, one of the most exciting teams to be
Speaker 1: watching NFL Draft Night and then obviously throughout the draft,
Speaker 1: but Day one and Day two for sure is maybe
Speaker 1: the Dolphins because that that team is definitely going to
Speaker 1: look a lot different within the course of about forty
Speaker 1: eight hours. Raschie Rice is next for the Dynasty action plan,
Speaker 1: good luck on this one. He's dealing with, you know,
Speaker 1: off field stuff, stuff that he finally got suspended for
Speaker 1: with the street racing last year. But then you had
Speaker 1: this report from TMZ about a month or so ago,
Speaker 1: violent and abusive behaviors were listed in a lawsuit that
Speaker 1: his the mother of his children, filed against him.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with having a share too of him just
Speaker 1: to see what happens. But from a Dynasty standpoint, I
Speaker 1: think we got It's not like it's not like a
Speaker 1: best Ball thing where you can kind of just sprinkle
Speaker 1: around shares like in Dynasty. You kind of got to
Speaker 1: make more significant plant plant flag planting decisions here.
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: What's the Dynasty action plan with Rashie Rice? And quite frankly,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like whether you're whether you're whether you're
Speaker 1: I don't want to say tanking, but whether you're rebuilding
Speaker 1: or whether you're trying to win right now, the answer
Speaker 1: might be similar because the stuff that's affecting Rice is
Speaker 1: not necessarily the status of where your team's at. It's
Speaker 1: the status of what's going on with him off the field.
Speaker 4: Yeah, He's a player that it just feels like every
Speaker 4: off season for three years now almost it feels like
Speaker 4: because you have the injury, then you have the off
Speaker 4: the field stuff, and now you have the off the
Speaker 4: field stuff again. It's been three off seasons now that
Speaker 4: every offseason we're talking about man Rossie. Rice is kind
Speaker 4: of undervalued.
Speaker 3: You may think he's.
Speaker 4: A pos off the football field, you may not like
Speaker 4: who he is, but he's undervalued. And I'm looking over
Speaker 4: at like these consensus websites. Most of these websites have
Speaker 4: him outside of the top twenty eric like if he.
Speaker 3: Goes in Week one.
Speaker 4: We know that the NFL historically doesn't have a good
Speaker 4: track record of issuing out punishments for these without a
Speaker 4: lot of conviction in that type of stuff. It's really just,
Speaker 4: I hate to say it. We're probably we're probably too
Speaker 4: low on Rashie. We probably should be buying. We probably
Speaker 4: should be adding him to teams. I'd be interested to
Speaker 4: see where his market is because I bet he's one
Speaker 4: of the guys where your league is going to view
Speaker 4: him so differently than the league right next to you.
Speaker 4: You could be in three or four different leagues and
Speaker 4: in one league somebody's trying to sell him like hotcakes
Speaker 4: in the next league. Somebody's like, Nah, I'm holding on
Speaker 4: to him because I still believe in the top ten
Speaker 4: upside that he has in this Chiefs offense. But like
Speaker 4: I said earlier, man, this is an offense I would
Speaker 4: like to see go out and get another receiving weapon.
Speaker 4: Even if they do, I still think Rashie Rice is
Speaker 4: going to have a pretty significant role here in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: We have to sell off some more FFPC Dynasty orphans
Speaker 1: before we launched startup, so I don't have any startup
Speaker 1: data as far as where he's going for Dynasty. In
Speaker 1: our never too early Best Ball tournament, he's over the
Speaker 1: last week or so sample size with what a dozen
Speaker 1: and a half drafts, Rashie Rice wide receiver twelve with
Speaker 1: the three H seven right now, Andrew, this is after
Speaker 1: Pickens and Olave, It's right before AJ Brown and Teo McMillan.
Speaker 2: That's where Rice is going at that point. I don't think,
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that.
Speaker 1: That's sort of my goldilocks take. It's not too high,
Speaker 1: it's not too low. That that seems just right to
Speaker 1: me in the mid third for him, oh, you're on mute. Sorry,
Speaker 1: hold on, you're still on mute. There you go. We're good.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 3: I had my cursor over on the other screen, so
Speaker 3: when I clicked it, it didn't do it.
Speaker 1: Gotcha.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at I'm looking at Dynasty ADP right now,
Speaker 4: and he's kind of right around the same spot currently
Speaker 4: being drafted as the wide receiver sixteen. It's the fiftieth
Speaker 4: guy off the board right now. So you put him
Speaker 4: around Lad McConkey, Romo Dunse, Luther Burden, it's putting him
Speaker 4: in that kind of range.
Speaker 1: You should be higher. I'm with you, he should.
Speaker 4: Probably be higher, which then again leads me to saying
Speaker 4: he's probably a bye right now. I would probably put
Speaker 4: him closer to the a lave at Buca range, which
Speaker 4: for comparison, that's turn that's the three four turn, whereas
Speaker 4: he's right now going at the four to five turn.
Speaker 1: That kind of clears things up for a receiver in
Speaker 1: Kansas City. But things are still a little bit nebulous
Speaker 1: with what I should be doing with Kenneth Walker. And
Speaker 1: as exciting as it was to see what he did
Speaker 1: not only in the Super Bowl Andrew, but down the
Speaker 1: stretch in the postseason without Zach Charboney taking over sort
Speaker 1: of an every down roll, catching the ball, getting the
Speaker 1: ball in the end zone, doing it all, ripping off
Speaker 1: big chunk games. He turns it into a forty three
Speaker 1: million dollar contract with the Chiefs over three years. We
Speaker 1: are all victims of recency bias. And I'm going to
Speaker 1: tell you right now, I absolutely love Walker based on
Speaker 1: what I saw at the end of the season.
Speaker 2: But you know what, I don't remember as well how.
Speaker 1: People were complaining myself included about how Walker was not
Speaker 1: a great pick in fantasy drafts last year. He was
Speaker 1: not a great player to be able to use in
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues because of the presence of Zach Charboneau, And
Speaker 1: even when sharbon A was out, It's not like Walker
Speaker 1: crushed it. Every single time. We have seen this guy
Speaker 1: rip off explosive runs, which is what the NFL needs
Speaker 1: right now. It's what the NFL is looking for. It's
Speaker 1: looking for explosive, big plays. I mean as a as
Speaker 1: a as a Packers fan, I hear Matt Lafleur talk
Speaker 1: about it seemingly in every press conference of how important
Speaker 1: explosive plays are to scoring points in the end in
Speaker 1: today's NFL, and and Walker can help you do that.
Speaker 2: But he also, like I feel like he's.
Speaker 1: Had his hamstrings and his quads explode, Like he's had
Speaker 1: these nagging injuries that have have not only kept him
Speaker 1: out off the field for certain games, but he's left
Speaker 1: games early too, which is which is sometimes even.
Speaker 2: Worse for us as fantasy players.
Speaker 1: So Walker, to me, I mean, you see the ceiling.
Speaker 1: I don't think everybody's seeing the floor right now. I
Speaker 1: think i'd be as far as my action plan for
Speaker 1: Dynasty leagues Kenneth Walker, I'm probably be looking to sell
Speaker 1: high on him right now because I and I feel
Speaker 1: like you can. But you tell me, I mean you're
Speaker 1: in the dynasty streets more than I am. Your thoughts
Speaker 1: on Walker and what we should be doing with him
Speaker 1: in our Dino leagues.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, to me, he's a screaming sale man,
Speaker 4: and I agree with everything that you said. Very fun
Speaker 4: to watch him through the playoffs was awesome. Obviously a
Speaker 4: big reason why they won that Super Bowl. You said
Speaker 4: the quiet part out loud there, Eric. He is probably
Speaker 4: one of the only running backs in recent memory who
Speaker 4: has disappointed the previous season failed to help us win
Speaker 4: in the Fantasy Football playoffs, but still saw value insulation
Speaker 4: by the end of the year. I think he's a
Speaker 4: player right now where if I can pivot, he's jumped
Speaker 4: from being in that RB two range, the running back
Speaker 4: twenty running back twenty one type of range where he
Speaker 4: was just a year ago, to now being a consensus
Speaker 4: top ten guy. If I can pivot and go to
Speaker 4: a guy like James Cook Jonathan Taylor, these feel like
Speaker 4: no brainer contending moves for me because I've seen it
Speaker 4: happen year in and year out with Taylor and Cook.
Speaker 4: I can't say the same thing for Walker. And then
Speaker 4: if you had him on a team that was young
Speaker 4: playing for the future, you got lucky, You got some
Speaker 4: value installation there. You have plenty of pivot options here
Speaker 4: where you could downteer him to a Trevon Henderson, a
Speaker 4: Quinn Shawn Judkins, move him forward probably Chase Brown and
Speaker 4: a plus Bucky Irving and a plus if you want
Speaker 4: to stay in that route. There's just a lot of
Speaker 4: moves you can make with Kenneth Walker right now, and
Speaker 4: I don't think his market is going to get any
Speaker 4: hotter than it is right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is what dynasty fantasy football is
Speaker 1: all about. Right. It's not about liking a player or
Speaker 1: or not liking a player. It's it's cashing in and
Speaker 1: at the right time for value. And it's also selling,
Speaker 1: all right, it's also buying at the right value, right,
Speaker 1: That's the difference. That's the fine line that we walk
Speaker 1: as dynasty fantasy football players. So much fun, so maddening
Speaker 1: at times too, but then every now and then you
Speaker 1: usually get something that's just hitting you like a brick
Speaker 1: in the face of selling Kenneth Walker, it makes perfect
Speaker 1: sense to me. Luther Burden is a guy speaking of
Speaker 1: guys steaming up right now, Luther Burden ever since, like
Speaker 1: sort of his the end of his season last year,
Speaker 1: and you could probably throw Colston Loveland into this conversation
Speaker 1: as well. Those guys were awesome towards the end of
Speaker 1: the season, especially Loveland. But getting back to Burden, he
Speaker 1: plays at a position that I think we put more
Speaker 1: of a premium on, even though FFPC does feature tight
Speaker 1: end premium leagues.
Speaker 2: Burden is a guy that I think a lot of
Speaker 2: people are after.
Speaker 1: He's a guy that was the second pick by Ben
Speaker 1: Johnson and Ryan Poles. There I know Poles made the pick,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure that was heavily influenced by Ben Johnson,
Speaker 1: and we saw how good it can beat. And now
Speaker 1: DJ Moore and I don't know how many targets he
Speaker 1: got last year, but he's gone, and certainly some of
Speaker 1: those should trickle over to Burden, to Loveland, to Odoons.
Speaker 1: But your thoughts specifically on what's the story here, because
Speaker 1: I feel like this is not a buying opportunity right
Speaker 1: now for Burden. I don't know if it's necessarily a
Speaker 1: selling opportunity either.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I agree with you there, Burden's a player.
Speaker 4: To me that the market got really hot and heavy
Speaker 4: over too early. It was premature on Luther Burden, and
Speaker 4: at the end of last year, everybody was pushing him up,
Speaker 4: adp pushing him up, you know whatever Consensus Rankings website
Speaker 4: you had him, and he was just getting pushed up
Speaker 4: the board. And at that point I was like, guys,
Speaker 4: DJ Moore is still on the team. DJ Moore is
Speaker 4: still here. We're hoping and making these moves at the
Speaker 4: hope that DJ Moore leaves. Well he does, and then
Speaker 4: there really isn't much of a reaction from the market.
Speaker 3: For the most part.
Speaker 4: For Luthor Burden, he went up probably about five or
Speaker 4: six spots in consensus rankings, but it really wasn't that
Speaker 4: big of a shift. Tells me that he was overvalued
Speaker 4: beforehand and there was no more room for insulation once
Speaker 4: the move actually happened. You bring up DJ Moore and
Speaker 4: the targets that he's leaving behind. He's vacating about eighty
Speaker 4: plus targets this year. Do you think that that's going
Speaker 4: to trickle down primarily to Luther Burden. Sure, he's probably
Speaker 4: good at his current ADP, but I'm looking at him
Speaker 4: right now and putting him in between a group of
Speaker 4: guys in Lad McConkie, Rashie Rice, and Romo Dounse. I
Speaker 4: like Romo Dunsea more than I like Luther Burden on
Speaker 4: this offense. I think you can point to early last
Speaker 4: year and say, before the injury, Romo Dunze was the
Speaker 4: guy he was bawling out for the Bears early on,
Speaker 4: and I don't think that that necessarily is going to change.
Speaker 3: For them at the end of the day.
Speaker 5: Though.
Speaker 4: Luther Burden, for me, he's a player that probably is
Speaker 4: at his peak value, but I'm not selling because The
Speaker 4: guys below him are AJ Brown. Maybe if you're a contender,
Speaker 4: you want that, but you definitely need a big plus
Speaker 4: on that Jamison Williams, Za Flowers, T Higgins. I think
Speaker 4: the upside's bigger than those guys. It's just he's he's
Speaker 4: kind of a player that's falling into this whole territory.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that's right. He is a hold
Speaker 1: right now, and we shall see what a DJ mooreless Brown,
Speaker 1: I beg your pardon bears offense looks like in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six.
Speaker 2: But I'm willing to.
Speaker 1: Bet that burden is a beneficiary.
Speaker 4: You know what, now that I think about it, he
Speaker 4: might actually be a player that can you tack on
Speaker 4: one of these first round picks in twenty twenty six?
Speaker 4: Can you tack the one oh seven or the one
Speaker 4: o eight or the one o nine on top of
Speaker 4: him and try and get into that TMAC range. Can
Speaker 4: you get a tedor Ro McMillan. Can you get a
Speaker 4: Chris Alave? Can you go up to that range? That
Speaker 4: might be the move. It's gonna feel expensive, but it
Speaker 4: might be the actual move with him.
Speaker 1: It's it's one of those things where I think that
Speaker 1: you know it sounds expensive, but let's wait till after
Speaker 1: rookie drafts happen, and then what does that sound like?
Speaker 1: It sounds like Casey Concepcion and Luther Burden and then
Speaker 1: you get Tedero McMillan. Now it doesn't sound as expensive, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Danzel Boston gets a great landing spot and it's
Speaker 4: Denzel Boston.
Speaker 1: Right, This is this is this is true, and I
Speaker 1: think not that you'd want to necessarily do that. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying if we if we don't say the pick
Speaker 1: and we say the player who goes there, it often
Speaker 1: doesn't sounds as nice as as it does with the pick. Okay,
Speaker 1: stick in the same division here, Sam Laporta, I've been
Speaker 1: talking about this for months. Nobody ever used to and
Speaker 1: nobody says they. Nobody ever says they used to have
Speaker 1: a bad back. Sam Laporte is back was the talk
Speaker 1: of fantasy football like for four days, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden it wasn't at all, because that's how
Speaker 1: quick he got shut down.
Speaker 2: First he's gonna be on IR.
Speaker 1: First he's gonna miss a game, then he's gonna go
Speaker 1: on IR, and then he was out for the season.
Speaker 1: He comes back granted to an offense this year with
Speaker 1: Drew Petzig, who used a lot of thirteen personnel in Arizona.
Speaker 1: I don't know, necessarily know if they do that in Detroit,
Speaker 1: but this could be a good thing for Laporta. The
Speaker 1: back injury scares me, not necessarily because I think it's
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a debilitating thing. It scares me because
Speaker 1: I haven't heard at a lot of reporting on it.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard a lot of people saying, Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's coming along really well, he's doing all this.
Speaker 1: I've heard nothing, and usually no news is sometimes bad
Speaker 1: news here. Or maybe I'm just like chicken little right now,
Speaker 1: this guy's falling your thoughts on the Dynasty action plan
Speaker 1: for one Sam Laporta injured.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, it's not even necessarily the injury of
Speaker 4: Sam Laporta. It's always the fact that there is a
Speaker 4: lot of mouths to feed here in Detroit, and typically
Speaker 4: my theory and my process when it comes to trying
Speaker 4: to tack these tight ends onto my Dynasty fantasy football teams,
Speaker 4: or any fantasy football team for that matter, is I'm
Speaker 4: looking for guys who can be the number one or
Speaker 4: the number two receiving option in their offense. To me,
Speaker 4: Sam Laporta can't be that right now, it's Jamison Williams
Speaker 4: and Amana Saint Brown, and if you really want to
Speaker 4: look at it, it's probably also Jamiir Gibbs is actually
Speaker 4: the number two receiving option in this offense. So it's
Speaker 4: really hard for me to find a pathway where the
Speaker 4: volume is going to find Sam Laporta in a besketball league,
Speaker 4: absolutely find his ADPs. Probably find where you're getting him too.
Speaker 4: You're gonna have enough scoring opportunities for Detroit. But a
Speaker 4: lineup league, he's a guy that I think I would
Speaker 4: be trying to pivot away from and down tier him
Speaker 4: somewhere else to get something thrown in on top.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, good knowledge on Laporta on that one, for sure.
Speaker 1: A player that is gonna we just talked about Petsig
Speaker 1: taken over as OC and Detroit. A quarterback that's going
Speaker 1: to have his third offensive coordinator in as many years
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia as Jalen Hurts. Good news for Hurts. The
Speaker 1: Toush push is not going away. Bad news for Hurts.
Speaker 1: He said himself that it's getting tougher and tougher. To
Speaker 1: run because people are stopping it. More kind of at
Speaker 1: a crossroads with him too, because we don't know what
Speaker 1: the status is with Aj Brown Goddard's back. So at
Speaker 1: least that question got answered, and we have to kind
Speaker 1: of suss out as fantasy players, dynasty fantasy players, what
Speaker 1: was the reason for the Eagles offense being so bad
Speaker 1: last year or at least, I don't say bad, but
Speaker 1: so underwhelming last year? Was it Aj Brown's fault? Was
Speaker 1: it Jalen Hurts his fault? Was it Kevin Tulo's fault.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a combination of of all three of those,
Speaker 1: you know, having blame on this. But we have to
Speaker 1: figure this out for fantasy. What's the dynasty action plan
Speaker 1: on Jalen Hurts right now? A guy who probably hasn't
Speaker 1: hit his prime yet, got a lot of good football
Speaker 1: in front of him. At the same time, if you
Speaker 1: had him last year, you know he kind of left
Speaker 1: a lot to be desired.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's going to be a guy who the
Speaker 4: direction of your dynasty roster it's going to be dependent
Speaker 4: on what you do with him. I think he's a
Speaker 4: player where if I am contending, I'm trying to win
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six. I think I'm in a one
Speaker 4: or two year window here where i want to be competitive.
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts is a bye right now. Most of these
Speaker 4: consensus sites have him around quarterback ten. We know the
Speaker 4: ceiling for him is much higher than that. I think
Speaker 4: the signing of Elijah Moore sometimes you got to feed
Speaker 4: into narratives here and get into narrative street, and honestly,
Speaker 4: that's with this point of the office. Season is four
Speaker 4: for the most part. Anyways, Elijah Moore is one of
Speaker 4: AJ Brown's best friends. There's a story way back when
Speaker 4: I'm sure a lot of people have heard the story
Speaker 4: of AJ Brown battling depression and dealing with some of
Speaker 4: that stuff. Elijah Moore is the guy who he called
Speaker 4: and helped him through some of that time. Elijah Moore
Speaker 4: is a Philadelphia Eagle. I think that is an olive
Speaker 4: branch signing by this front office to say, we got
Speaker 4: your buddy in here, let's make this run and let's
Speaker 4: try and do it again this year. The Eagles know
Speaker 4: they're in a contending window. It's not smart for them
Speaker 4: to move off of AJ Brown right now. If they're
Speaker 4: trying to win, they have a guy in a running
Speaker 4: back here that's in his prime as well. Got to
Speaker 4: get the best you can out of this roster while
Speaker 4: you still can contend. I think he probably runs back
Speaker 4: this year, So as a contender, you're buying Jalen Hurts. However,
Speaker 4: just because I have confidence in them in twenty twenty
Speaker 4: six and maybe twenty twenty seven. In a dynasty league,
Speaker 4: we're playing long term sometimes, and I don't know if
Speaker 4: that means that this Eagles team is going to be
Speaker 4: able to survive an aging AJ Brown and an aging
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley and a guy in Jalen Hurts who we've
Speaker 4: seen him be fantasy football relevant. The issue has been
Speaker 4: it's been more rushing and less passing than what you'd
Speaker 4: like to see. I think if I'm rebuilding, I'm trying
Speaker 4: to pivot off of him, and I've seen him in
Speaker 4: startup drafts get bunched into this bunch of quarterbacks. I
Speaker 4: just posted a poll about this the other day because
Speaker 4: actually all of these quarterbacks were back to back to
Speaker 4: back to back in ADP right there at that turn.
Speaker 4: It was Jackson, dart, Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and Jalen
Speaker 4: Hurts as a contending team, Jalen Hurts kind of sounds
Speaker 4: like the best option as.
Speaker 3: A rebuilding team.
Speaker 4: There might be two or three guys that I might
Speaker 4: choose over Jalen Hurts from that group. So I think
Speaker 4: there's a lot of room here, depending on your team
Speaker 4: and your direction, where you can pivot him into that
Speaker 4: cell category. But point blank, period, if I'm trying to
Speaker 4: win in twenty twenty six Hurts at his current cost,
Speaker 4: you're probably getting a decent value.
Speaker 1: In the NFL, it's all about acquiring, you know, you
Speaker 1: try to acquire as much talent as possible. Teams of
Speaker 1: scouts and you know front office people that will work
Speaker 1: eighty hours a week for very little money in some
Speaker 1: cases to try to to you know, figure out who
Speaker 1: the best players are going to be in the NFL,
Speaker 1: because everybody's after the best players. A. J. Brown is
Speaker 1: one of the best players at his position. Howie Roseman
Speaker 1: is an extremely intelligent GM, at least I think so.
Speaker 1: I think he's proven it over the years. It's really
Speaker 1: difficult for me to connect the dot to say that
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman is going to move off of a good player,
Speaker 1: a great player in AJ Brown, and somehow that makes
Speaker 1: the Eagles better. So I do believe he's with the
Speaker 1: team this year. Did not know the Elijah More thing,
Speaker 1: and and that I think kind of cements it for
Speaker 1: me that, you know, it's kind of like you know,
Speaker 1: as a Milwaukee Bucks fan, when when the Bucks got
Speaker 1: fanasas At Tetakumpo, the older brother of Giannis a Tetokoumpo
Speaker 1: on the team, and they kept him there and they
Speaker 1: never put him in until the end of the game,
Speaker 1: like he never played any meaningful minutes. He was just
Speaker 1: there to keep his little brother happy. And maybe this
Speaker 1: is what we're seeing to a degree with Elijahmore and
Speaker 1: aj Brown in the NFL. DJ Moore, we just talked
Speaker 1: about him as a as a bear, Let's talk about
Speaker 1: it as a buffalo bill. I think here's the analogy.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a good one. In concocting
Speaker 1: scientific experience experiments and developing drugs or anything that's going
Speaker 1: to cure diseases, it's a fine line, right, you have
Speaker 1: to get your measurements just right. You have to have
Speaker 1: that concoction exactly measured perfectly, because if it's just off
Speaker 1: by a little bit, can have radical unintended consequences. Right,
Speaker 1: jazz music, you can screw up, you can freestyle, you
Speaker 1: can do whatever you want in there, and somehow that
Speaker 1: makes the product better. Is when people aren't on the
Speaker 1: same page and they don't know what's going on, and
Speaker 1: it's not perfect and it's there's no set form to it.
Speaker 1: I think DJ More is more a jazz musician wide
Speaker 1: receiver than a clinical scientist wide receiver. And I think
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is much more likely to be playing in
Speaker 1: a jazz club than conducting experience experiments. Is I know
Speaker 1: it is a long walk for a short drink of
Speaker 1: water here, but I think that you say what you
Speaker 1: will about what Moore did.
Speaker 2: Or didn't do in Chicago last year.
Speaker 1: I think the fit with him in Buffalo with Josh
Speaker 1: Allen is infinitely better than than what he had in
Speaker 1: a highly precise offense that Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams
Speaker 1: were orchestrating last year.
Speaker 2: Spot on with that little off.
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 3: No, I think you're right on there.
Speaker 4: I recently put out a video talking about DJ Moore
Speaker 4: is a buy post free agency, and I know a
Speaker 4: lot of people have said, like, hey, his values already
Speaker 4: went up. I honestly expected the market to react harsher
Speaker 4: than it already did. Like he's a guy right now
Speaker 4: that I've seen people floating him in their dynasty ranking
Speaker 4: somewhere between twenty six and thirty. This is a guy
Speaker 4: to me who has high end wide receiver to upside
Speaker 4: for at least two or three.
Speaker 3: More seasons here.
Speaker 4: With Josh Allen, I don't think that they trade for
Speaker 4: him without having plans at a potential extension for him
Speaker 4: long term. They know the issue has been that they
Speaker 4: let Digs out of the building and they haven't fixed
Speaker 4: the wide receiver position. I think Dj Moore is that
Speaker 4: guy for them long term. They're in a competitive window.
Speaker 4: They need a veteran that can play to your analogy
Speaker 4: some jazz there. With Josh Allen, I agree, he's really
Speaker 4: good at just kind of figuring it out as the
Speaker 4: routes go, and that's going to really play into Josh
Speaker 4: Allen's talent of extending the plays.
Speaker 3: So I think it's a perfect fit.
Speaker 4: He's a guy that I probably would be trying to
Speaker 4: move a trade offer that I even have sent out
Speaker 4: in one of my own leagues. Is we just talked
Speaker 4: about the one O nine I'm trying to send first
Speaker 4: round picks the late first round picks this year where
Speaker 4: I don't really believe in a lot of the players,
Speaker 4: or maybe there's gonna get a little bit more rookie
Speaker 4: hype over the next couple or the next month as
Speaker 4: we approach the NFL Draft. I'll buy DJ Moore right
Speaker 4: now at twenty eight to twenty nine years old and
Speaker 4: get two years of what I think is going to
Speaker 4: be potential high wide receiver two production.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is getting cute, but you could also look
Speaker 1: at it from the standpoint of it takes a little
Speaker 1: bit for the chemistry to gel when you play football
Speaker 1: like that, like when you play football like Allen and
Speaker 1: More do. And maybe they do have a rough September together,
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be people that are like, I knew it,
Speaker 1: This More thing is gonna blow up in their face,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden October they could turn
Speaker 1: it on. Maybe the key is is hoping gets off
Speaker 1: to a slow start because I still believe it more
Speaker 1: and even if that happens, I'd still be buying them,
Speaker 1: and then it could be an even cheaper price late
Speaker 1: September two.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and you have to also point to the connection.
Speaker 4: I love, like I said, talking about the connections and
Speaker 4: the storylines and the pathways, because I think it helps
Speaker 4: us sometimes read between the lines. It's Ree united with
Speaker 4: Joe Brady. Joe Brady had him in Carolina, and Joe
Speaker 4: Brady chose Dj Moore to bring him over into his
Speaker 4: offense now that he's the head coach.
Speaker 1: Excellent. Aronde Gadsden is one of the many playmakers on
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers team. Why is this exciting this
Speaker 1: year more than previous years because they have Mike McDaniel there.
Speaker 1: I've been talking about this on all my shows for months,
Speaker 1: ever since McDaniel got the job, or ever since it
Speaker 1: was reported that he's gonna get the job. Gadsden, McConkey,
Speaker 1: Quinton Johnston, Trey Harris, so Mari and Hampton. The list
Speaker 1: goes on. The tackles are back this year, Alton Slater,
Speaker 1: which is obviously gonna help Justin Herbert. What's the Dynasty
Speaker 1: action plan on a guy like Aronde Gadston who had talent,
Speaker 1: who showed out but maybe burned out a little bit
Speaker 1: early last year. I think he was dealing with an
Speaker 1: injury too. But now it's a new offense, what do
Speaker 1: we do with Gadsden?
Speaker 4: Well, free agency has started to paint the picture a
Speaker 4: little bit clearer for me. You see Keenan Allen still
Speaker 4: out there on the market, and could he come back
Speaker 4: and run it back in you know Los Angeles. Absolutely,
Speaker 4: it's still in the range of outcomes, but he's aging.
Speaker 4: They didn't go out and get any of these other
Speaker 4: wide receivers. We heard them potentially being interested in the
Speaker 4: wide receiver market, but the majority pority of that free
Speaker 4: agent market has come and went and nobody has went
Speaker 4: to Los Angeles. So to me, that tells me that
Speaker 4: they are comfortable enough with their current receiving room that
Speaker 4: they're willing to kind of roll the dice out here.
Speaker 3: I like the fit.
Speaker 4: We saw Darren Waller come off the couch, come off
Speaker 4: the music video film sets where he was out here
Speaker 4: making rap songs and instantly put up multi touchdown games
Speaker 4: there in Miami Ronde. Gasden's going to be able to
Speaker 4: come in and be the number two receiving option. I
Speaker 4: think he is a better receiving option for Mike McDaniel
Speaker 4: offenses than Quintin Johnston is. So I'm willing to throw
Speaker 4: out on Ronde Gadsden out there if I can buy him.
Speaker 4: People have kind of forgot about Ronde, or maybe just
Speaker 4: people are nervous. I'm all for it, and I'll tell
Speaker 4: you what, that opinion will not change for me. Eric,
Speaker 4: Even if they go out on day two, Round two,
Speaker 4: round three and grab another wide receiver, it won't change
Speaker 4: my opinion on Gasden.
Speaker 2: I just got some eminem vibes. Forgot about Aronde right there.
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to mix that up or AI can probably
Speaker 1: do it at this point and uh and remix that song. Okay,
Speaker 1: last one I want to get to here the Dynasty
Speaker 1: action plan on Superflex Rookie one oh one. Okay, Here's
Speaker 1: how I want to frame it. And this is sort
Speaker 1: of like gauging how bad your quarterbacks have to be
Speaker 1: for you to pivot off of Love and and take
Speaker 1: Mendoza over him. For the purposes of this game, Let's
Speaker 1: say you are unable to trade the pick that you
Speaker 1: you would be taking like less than fifty cents on
Speaker 1: the dollar to trade the pick. If your quarterbacks are
Speaker 1: cam Warden Aaron Rodgers, would you take Mendoza over Jeremiah Love.
Speaker 3: Super Flex? You said Reflex, Yes, I'm considering it. But
Speaker 3: I want, I'd want.
Speaker 2: So it have to be worse. It have to be
Speaker 2: worse than that.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, like i'd want, I'd want to trade.
Speaker 4: Honestly, what I tell you what i'd do, this is
Speaker 4: my Dynasty brain is i would go to the guy
Speaker 4: at one o two and I'd say, hey, come move up,
Speaker 4: you take Jeremiah. I want something on top because I'm
Speaker 4: moving back, and then I'm just moving back from my
Speaker 4: quarterback anyways. But I honestly, I don't know if there's
Speaker 4: any situation where I'm sitting at the one oh one
Speaker 4: and I'm not taking best player available, and the best
Speaker 4: player available for me is Jeremiah Love. And I put
Speaker 4: this together for you in the pre draft show. Let
Speaker 4: me just give you some data because a lot of
Speaker 4: people look at these running backs and they say running
Speaker 4: backs are bad investments. Right, what if I told you
Speaker 4: that this is data for last year's rookie class Genty, Hampton, Henderson,
Speaker 4: and Judkins how they were valued March twenty twenty five
Speaker 4: versus how they are valued today March twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4: Genty went from the RB three to the RB three
Speaker 4: zero lost value. And I think he underperformed as a rookie.
Speaker 4: A lot of people were probably a little bit disappointed.
Speaker 4: Hampton went from the running back eight to the running
Speaker 4: back six. Improved despite having a year of injury. Henderson
Speaker 4: the biggest disappointment of the entire first round last year,
Speaker 4: running back twelve to running back ten today. Improved despite
Speaker 4: being the biggest disappointment in the first round. Judkins the
Speaker 4: running back fifteen, devastating leg injury, running back eleven today.
Speaker 4: Every first round running back in your rookie draft last
Speaker 4: year improved in their consensus ranking from last year to
Speaker 4: this year.
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Love is the same bet, and.
Speaker 1: There's not a whole lot where he could go to
Speaker 1: up to next year, similar to Genty, from running back
Speaker 1: three to running back three. Right, and maybe it's even
Speaker 1: better for Love next year. By the way, who did
Speaker 1: you view as a better prospect? Love or Genty? I liked.
Speaker 4: I liked Love a little bit more than I liked genty, honestly,
Speaker 4: but I think they're very, very close. Like if I
Speaker 4: had to merge last year's prospects with this year's, they
Speaker 4: would be the same tier.
Speaker 1: Okay, do you if you did like Love slightly better
Speaker 1: than Genty? Who was the last fast running back prospect
Speaker 1: that you liked better than Jeremiah.
Speaker 3: Love, Bijon.
Speaker 4: It would be Bejon and I was very high at
Speaker 4: the time. It's easy to people to say in hindsight,
Speaker 4: I was very high on Gibbs, but you can go
Speaker 4: check the receipts as well on my Gibbs takes. I
Speaker 4: liked him a lot. I like Love more than I
Speaker 4: liked Gibbs.
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting, very very and I'm glad we're getting this
Speaker 1: out of the way right now because I don't have
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love on the rundown because he always just seems
Speaker 1: to weave his way into the conversation anyway.
Speaker 4: So well, and let me give you a little bit
Speaker 4: of context too. And I'm sorry if you're hearing the
Speaker 4: train horn. We live next to the train tracks, and
Speaker 4: I it is what it is. But I like Love
Speaker 4: more than to those guys a little bit more for
Speaker 4: fantasy football because of the receiving ability. I think he
Speaker 4: is a insanely talented receiver out of the backfield. He
Speaker 4: gives me CMC level receiving ability vibes with his prospect profile.
Speaker 4: So if you're playing in a PBR league, we know
Speaker 4: that's where you make your money. That's the bread and
Speaker 4: butter of rookie running backs or just running back production
Speaker 4: in general. So for me, that's why he's a little
Speaker 4: bit more than where I had gent because I think
Speaker 4: he can go out there and be a guy that
Speaker 4: catches sixty footballs out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: I think year one it could be very exciting. You know,
Speaker 1: here's the thing in redraft right now for Jeremiah Love,
Speaker 1: he is not going until well now, he's actually moved
Speaker 1: up now he's running back nine at this point, he's
Speaker 1: going like the two h four so early to mid
Speaker 1: second round. But it would not surprise me at all
Speaker 1: to see him move ahead of Hampton. I could see
Speaker 1: him move ahead of genty as well. I don't know
Speaker 1: about James Cook. Now we're getting to craziness there a
Speaker 1: little bit. But you never know, it only takes one player.
Speaker 1: Love is the one running back we won't talk about
Speaker 1: in this next segment. I want to talk about some
Speaker 1: of these other rookie running backs with you get your
Speaker 1: quick take on them, and then we'll get into the
Speaker 1: receivers and if there's time tight ends as well. You
Speaker 1: were watching FFPC Inside Access with Andrew Mott from the
Speaker 1: League f FB and of course Dynasty Nerds. We are
Speaker 1: going to take a quick break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about those rookies and so much more on
Speaker 1: f FPC Insider Access. I am Eric Balkman. Do not
Speaker 1: go anywhere as I try to find the break.
Speaker 5: Here we go, sorry, hitting the home stretch of FFPC
Speaker 5: Insider Access tonight.
Speaker 1: Andrew Mott from Dynasty Nerds and the League FFP.
Speaker 2: At Andrew too True on X Where did that moniker
Speaker 2: come from?
Speaker 3: Andrew Man, that's high school, dude.
Speaker 4: It was just I don't know why. In high school
Speaker 4: I made the handle. I played basketball. All my teammates
Speaker 4: called me too true. That was just it rhymed, It
Speaker 4: made sense and it stuck forever.
Speaker 1: Nice. I like it. I always like because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people out there. I just used my name
Speaker 1: because I'm boring in Vanilla, but for X. But I
Speaker 1: always like hearing the backstory, like I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know. Dan Williamson host of the Stack Hunters podcast
Speaker 1: with Player Profiler. He is a longtime high stakes player.
Speaker 1: His handle is over hyped sleeper, but he took out
Speaker 1: the final e of Sleeper, so it's over hyped sleeper,
Speaker 1: you know, and I always I forgot about the story
Speaker 1: like several times, but he said like it was one
Speaker 1: of those things where overhyped sleeper was taken and he
Speaker 1: just decided to do that one where he randomly decided
Speaker 1: to take out that e hey to each their own
Speaker 1: whatever who might have judged, And now it's part of
Speaker 1: his brand, so he can never change it. All Right,
Speaker 1: let's get into some of these running backs. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much time. Well, we'll have the touch on
Speaker 1: all these guys. We'll get through as many as we
Speaker 1: could get through. I remember back in January February, it
Speaker 1: seemed like Jonah Coleman was the guy that everybody was
Speaker 1: talking about being the running back two in this class.
Speaker 1: That seems to have faded a little bit. And I'm
Speaker 1: wondering if if there's something that, you know, what the
Speaker 1: cause of that would be. Can we poke some holes
Speaker 1: in Jonah Coleman and why he may or may not
Speaker 1: be successful at the next level.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you look at Jonah Coleman's profile and
Speaker 4: right now he's my running back for over in my
Speaker 4: rankings for Dynasty, And a lot of this is questions
Speaker 4: about the athleticism. I just have some real concerns about
Speaker 4: how fast he actually is. He's not a player that
Speaker 4: did anything really at the combine, didn't run his forty
Speaker 4: yard dash, didn't give us any of the athletics testing.
Speaker 4: All we saw was the bench press where he hit
Speaker 4: twenty two reps. And the strength was never the question.
Speaker 4: The question has been the athleticism, and you've been ducking
Speaker 4: you know, some of that testing. So for me, that's
Speaker 4: been the biggest question. You even look at some of
Speaker 4: the other stuff, like if you want to look at
Speaker 4: some of the advanced analytics for him, we look at
Speaker 4: things over on FFB Draft Kit for some of the
Speaker 4: main criteria that does translate to potential running back one
Speaker 4: success at the next level, things like running dominator rating,
Speaker 4: rushing share, how much of that rushing share did you
Speaker 4: have for your collegiate football team, rushing yard percentage, how
Speaker 4: much did you account for a lot of these, he's
Speaker 4: grading out as a poor runner from that rushing share,
Speaker 4: from the rushing yards percentage, from the total touch share.
Speaker 4: It's really not a lot here to like for the
Speaker 4: most part. But I say all of that to tell
Speaker 4: you that it's not the end all be all to
Speaker 4: have the advanced analytics checked off either. He just to
Speaker 4: me feels like a guy where athleticism has been the
Speaker 4: biggest question. You haven't answered those questions for us in
Speaker 4: the pre draft process, and so by default you are
Speaker 4: now sliding down the board.
Speaker 1: The pro day for Emma Johnson actually was pretty good.
Speaker 1: He shaved depending upon you know, how much you know,
Speaker 1: We don't know exactly whatever. There's twenty nine teams there,
Speaker 1: so we don't know exactly what he was timed at
Speaker 1: by all these different teams. But he heard that he
Speaker 1: shaved basically a tenth of the second off down in
Speaker 1: the four four five, four four six range. He was
Speaker 1: at four five six at the combine. Quite frankly, Emma
Speaker 1: Johnson's combine was not all that great athletically in any
Speaker 1: of the drills that they did there. But I'm wondering
Speaker 1: how much you bump up Johnson now that we know
Speaker 1: that there's a very real possibility maybe he just had
Speaker 1: a bad day at the combine and he actually is
Speaker 1: faster than that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I guess it depends on what you see
Speaker 4: is bumping up. Because to me, he's my running back
Speaker 4: five in the class. I liked him beforehand. I thought
Speaker 4: he looked way faster and way more explosive on tape
Speaker 4: than he went out and showed. And at times, you know,
Speaker 4: guys can go out and have a bad day and
Speaker 4: the testing doesn't look right, and that's what happens. Recent
Speaker 4: example of this is Bucky Irving a couple of years ago,
Speaker 4: goes out to the Combine, horrible day, everybody's biggest faller
Speaker 4: from the NFL Combine. Finds himself in day three, in
Speaker 4: the right situation, gets on the football field and oh yeah, shocker,
Speaker 4: this guy's actually kind of good at football. I think
Speaker 4: we could see a similar pathway for Emmitt Johnson. And
Speaker 4: I talked about the analytics for Jonah Coleman. Emmitt Johnson's
Speaker 4: are really really nice. He checks a lot of the
Speaker 4: boxes there, comes in as a great score on seven
Speaker 4: of the eight analytics that I look at. So that's
Speaker 4: exactly where we want to see him at. And he
Speaker 4: carried the workload there in twenty twenty five for Nebraska
Speaker 4: almost fifteen hundred yards as a rusher.
Speaker 3: I think he's.
Speaker 4: Proven as a guy who can carry the workload if
Speaker 4: given the opportunity. If I were to point towards an
Speaker 4: example of what I could see him doing at the
Speaker 4: next level. Think early career Chase Brown and the evolution
Speaker 4: of what Chase Brown is now.
Speaker 1: I uh, I, that's exciting to think about. By the way,
Speaker 1: I think the other thing with athleticism in the combine
Speaker 1: that we have to talk about is Mike Washington Junior.
Speaker 2: What's the likelihood in your opinion that in a flat
Speaker 2: running back class outside of love, what's the likelihood that
Speaker 2: he is actually that his athleticism carries him to being
Speaker 2: the second picked running back in this year's draft in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: It could very well he could very well end up
Speaker 4: the second guy. I kind of have it bunched right now.
Speaker 4: I have three running backs in the same tier that
Speaker 4: I think, ultimately for me landing spot in draft capital
Speaker 4: are going to separate. But today Jendarium Price is my
Speaker 4: RB two, Mike Washington's my RB three, and Joah Coleman's
Speaker 4: my RB four. I have them all almost back to
Speaker 4: back to back in my rankings thirteen, fourteen and sixteen
Speaker 4: for them overall. So none of these guys guys that
Speaker 4: I'd be looking at in the first round of my
Speaker 4: rookie drafts. But I today have jadarium price. There could
Speaker 4: Mike Washington jump in with the right landing spot.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, landing spot is going to be huge for this class.
Speaker 1: I mean, you just talked about how close these guys
Speaker 1: are bunched up and obviously dependent upon where they go
Speaker 1: that there could be a significant separation with a lot
Speaker 1: of these players.
Speaker 2: Stick with me on this one. I don't know if
Speaker 2: my logic is correct. Penn State running backs.
Speaker 1: Nick Singleton is an incredibly better athlete than k Tron Allen.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody would disagree with that.
Speaker 1: Is there something to the effect of liking Allen better
Speaker 1: at the next level because he was able to put
Speaker 1: up all the numbers he did with a lesser athletic profile.
Speaker 1: He could see he had the vision right, he knew
Speaker 1: the nuances of playing the running back position. Does that
Speaker 1: carry over better to the NFL than Nick Singleton's skill set,
Speaker 1: which is not vision, it's not nuanced play, it's simply
Speaker 1: out athleting the guys that at the collegiate level that
Speaker 1: you won't be able to do that at the pro level.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that, because I don't quite Frankly, I
Speaker 1: haven't made up my mind if that's the correct line
Speaker 1: of thinking.
Speaker 2: But there's a narrative out there.
Speaker 4: It definitely is a narrative, and I think there is
Speaker 4: validity to it. I mean, you look at both of
Speaker 4: those guys and it is yin and yang with their
Speaker 4: play styles and that's why they work so well at
Speaker 4: Penn State together. A lot of my questions with Nick
Speaker 4: Singleton are, what the hell happened at Penn State in
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, and that trickles to Drew Alar, That
Speaker 4: trickles to you know, head coach that was fired everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, awful, awful twenty twenty five. So I have questions.
Speaker 3: But where a year removed from where Nick Singleton was
Speaker 3: being talked about as the RB four or the RB
Speaker 3: five in a very good running back draft class.
Speaker 4: So the talent is obviously there. I have Singleton over
Speaker 4: k Trin Allen in my rankings. They're twenty three and
Speaker 4: twenty six. I think if you're trying to play the
Speaker 4: NFL game, Katerian Allen is the safer NFL football player bet. Now,
Speaker 4: if I'm turning on my Dynasty Fantasy football brain, Nick
Speaker 4: Singleton's the bet I want to make because the athleticism
Speaker 4: and the explosion translates to big plays and those scormy points.
Speaker 2: He's a much more fun pick.
Speaker 3: Like.
Speaker 2: I think that's what it's gonna come down to for me.
Speaker 1: If landing spot is similar, I think it's more fun
Speaker 1: to draft a guy like Nick Singleton, who's this big
Speaker 1: pedigree guy. Right Like, even in high school and his
Speaker 1: freshman you're in Penn State, he was awesome. I think
Speaker 1: he's just more fun player. Shifting over to receivers right now,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you the question that you've been asked
Speaker 1: numerous times.
Speaker 2: Be it on x be it on your.
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, be it by be it by Jagger. The
Speaker 1: top three receivers Levin, Tate, Tyson. I'm sure you're gonna
Speaker 1: tell me. It's very close between these guys, but which
Speaker 1: one do you like best? Man?
Speaker 4: I have recently struggled with my rankings, but I have
Speaker 4: chosen to stick with my gut and keep going with
Speaker 4: what I've been seeing from the early days of my
Speaker 4: film studies. I like Tyson the most, man. I like
Speaker 4: Jordan Tyson the most, and I know a lot of
Speaker 4: people are scared of Jordan Tyson because of the injuries.
Speaker 4: The ceiling is the highest of all of these players,
Speaker 4: I think he's the best route runner of the group.
Speaker 4: I think he is insane above the rim, can go
Speaker 4: up and make a bunch of acrobatic catchers. I think
Speaker 4: he's a quarterback's best friend. There's just nothing in his
Speaker 4: tape really, aside from occasionally struggling against press coverage against
Speaker 4: some bigger dbs that might get hands on him a
Speaker 4: little bit early in the route. That is the only
Speaker 4: thing that I see, aside from medicals, that gets me
Speaker 4: nervous about him. Everything else, as far as on the
Speaker 4: football field play and ability, Jordan Tyson to me, is
Speaker 4: the best one of the group. They are all back
Speaker 4: to back to back. It's three four five for me
Speaker 4: and my rankings. That's not a surprise to anybody.
Speaker 5: We know that.
Speaker 3: But Carnel Tate would be number two and Lemon would
Speaker 3: be three. You know.
Speaker 1: The regarding the injury thing, and I'm almost sick of
Speaker 1: saying this because I say it all the time. You're
Speaker 1: talking about an AACL like the triple cl tear. I
Speaker 1: don't know how that's predictive of like that this is
Speaker 1: going to happen again, or it's going to cause other injuries.
Speaker 1: A freak collar bone. I mean, that can happen to anybody,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Mike Evans, whatever, like it happens. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's something. The stuff that I'd be concerned about
Speaker 1: is the hamstring stuff, the soft tissue injuries and what did.
Speaker 2: That set them back?
Speaker 1: Like he basically missed half a season, a third of
Speaker 1: a season right around there this past year. It's hard
Speaker 1: for me when I've seen bring up Adrian Peterson again.
Speaker 1: I that guy was hurt all the time at Oklahoma
Speaker 1: and he never got hurt in the pros, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's very, very difficult for me to draft scared
Speaker 1: and take a guy who I believe is a lesser
Speaker 1: prospect Lemon or Taate than Tyson in drafts. Now landing
Speaker 1: spot could change this, and I reserve the right to
Speaker 1: change my mind because that's how three of these guys
Speaker 1: are close to him as far as I'm concerned. But
Speaker 1: I'm with you.
Speaker 2: Tyson's my guy.
Speaker 3: He's I hit his game, man. I'll just say his
Speaker 3: game reminds me so much of Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 1: Oh there you go. Which who was it? Was it
Speaker 1: Nikhil Harry that came out of Arizona State. Was he
Speaker 1: actually the last big Arizona State receiver? And I probably
Speaker 1: just jinx Tyson by.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Harry or Ayyuk. I think you could count Arizona State.
Speaker 2: Moving on to Concepcio and I said, I was going
Speaker 2: to ask you about him later. You're high on him.
Speaker 2: He dropped a lot of passes. Drop rate was not
Speaker 2: great in college.
Speaker 1: Are you of the belief that he is that's something
Speaker 1: that will be corrected at the next level, or are
Speaker 1: you of the belief that because he does everything else
Speaker 1: so well, you're just willing to put.
Speaker 3: Up with that. I'm willing to put up with drops man.
Speaker 4: Drops are one of the few things that I think
Speaker 4: are over analyzed by a lot of fantasy football analysts.
Speaker 4: People talk about drops, this drop that you know, how
Speaker 4: many drops guys like Deontay Johnson and some of these
Speaker 4: other guys have I promise you go just for people
Speaker 4: at home, just for fun, go type in like who
Speaker 4: dropped the most footballs. You're gonna see some of the
Speaker 4: highest performing players at the top of those lists. There's
Speaker 4: gonna be guys that you're like, wow, he was a
Speaker 4: wide receiver. One he finished as a wide receiver one,
Speaker 4: and he's at the top of the drops list. It's
Speaker 4: just it happens when the football's coming your way. There
Speaker 4: are concentration drops with Casey concepcion where it does show
Speaker 4: up on film. But to me, Man, he has checked
Speaker 4: a lot of the boxes. I was looking for reasons
Speaker 4: to get lower on KC. Where Hey, if he comes
Speaker 4: in and he runs a little bit slower than I
Speaker 4: thought he could run at a Pro Day or a combine,
Speaker 4: or if he comes in and he's a little bit
Speaker 4: smaller than he was actually listed out at college. These
Speaker 4: things haven't happened now, given he didn't run at the combine.
Speaker 4: But he's a player who listed a true five to
Speaker 4: eleven still has the height at one or the way
Speaker 4: at one ninety. Everything here is good, man, like I'm
Speaker 4: trying to find ways. And then Matt Harmon. I respect
Speaker 4: Matt Harmon's work. A lot comes out with how successful
Speaker 4: he's been against man and zone and some of the
Speaker 4: other stuff. He's my number seven player, man, and he
Speaker 4: ain't moving right now.
Speaker 1: The list of drops last season in the NFL number eleven,
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, number eight, Tenero McMillan, number seven, Cortland, Sutton
Speaker 1: six with Ceedee Lamb five with that BUCA, and then
Speaker 1: the top two number one and two Jamison Williams and
Speaker 1: Amanath Saint Brown for Detroit. Good players, right, hey, people
Speaker 1: about these players. Ain't nobody talking about that they don't
Speaker 1: like him because of the drops. Nobody's mentioning that with
Speaker 1: any of these guys.
Speaker 4: It's overheted, man, It's overheted. And you know what a
Speaker 4: lot of people think Casey is just going to be
Speaker 4: a slot guy. I think he can play outside too.
Speaker 4: I think he showed that at Texas A and M,
Speaker 4: and I think he can be a perfect Z.
Speaker 1: I have to bring up Denzel Boston here. I don't
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of thoughts on this guy. I
Speaker 1: think he's exciting. I think that, you know, coming from
Speaker 1: this Washington team that where he played with some pretty
Speaker 1: talented receivers, I'm not really concerned about the late breakout
Speaker 1: or whatever. And I do think that this guy has
Speaker 1: the potential to be a significant four or five six
Speaker 1: year number one receiver ALPHA on a team.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think he definitely can you see
Speaker 4: the things in his profile that you want to see
Speaker 4: consistently improved statistically year in and year out, more touchdowns,
Speaker 4: more receiving yards, more receptions, all of that stuff every
Speaker 4: single season, despite like you said, battling with some of
Speaker 4: these good receivers that we've seen come out of Washington
Speaker 4: over the last couple of years, guys like Jalen McMillan
Speaker 4: and Romo Dunse and even guys in this draft class
Speaker 4: who played at Washington years prior, Jeremy Bernard who went
Speaker 4: out and had a great season at Alabama and overlooked
Speaker 4: or kind of overplayed. A guy like Ryan Williams too
Speaker 4: this year. I think you see a lot of the
Speaker 4: analytics with him, and he's interesting. He's currently my wide
Speaker 4: receiver five man, just a guy who's going to go
Speaker 4: out and play outside, play on the boundary, be a
Speaker 4: red zone threat. My comp for Denzel Boston has been Courtland's.
Speaker 4: We've talked about him on the show today. He feels
Speaker 4: Courtland Sutton ish to me, and you saw Courtland Sutton
Speaker 4: also go in that early second round of his draft class.
Speaker 4: I think right in the same draft capital range for
Speaker 4: Denzel Boston.
Speaker 1: Two more questions I want to ask you before we
Speaker 1: get out of here. Sadiq versus Eli Stowers. I said,
Speaker 1: it seems like Stowars is picking up steam right now.
Speaker 1: How number one, you have Sadiq ranked ahead of Stours
Speaker 1: and how close are they?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have Sadique over Stours and really it's not
Speaker 4: that far. I have them both as first round rookie picks.
Speaker 4: Sadik is my number six overall player. Eli Stowers is
Speaker 4: my number eleven overall player in my Dynasty rankings right now,
Speaker 4: those are tight end premium, so keep that in mind.
Speaker 4: But Eli Stowers, the only thing that I dislike about
Speaker 4: him more than Sadiq is the fact that he is
Speaker 4: not a good blocker. When you watch the film, it shows.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is a guy who's still new to
Speaker 4: the position. He converted from a quarterback just a few
Speaker 4: years ago to go play tight end, so he's only
Speaker 4: been playing tight end for about two two and a
Speaker 4: half seasons right now. When you put him out there
Speaker 4: against some of these bigger linebackers, these edge rushers, he
Speaker 4: gets blown up. So he's a player that I could
Speaker 4: see being a move tight end. But my worry is
Speaker 4: that he ends up like Dalton Kincaid, where Dalton Kincaid
Speaker 4: great receiving threat. We've seen the upside with him coming
Speaker 4: out of Utah. But what happens to Dalton Kincaid exhaustingly
Speaker 4: at the NFL level. They take him out because Dawson
Speaker 4: Knox is the better blocker, and Dawson Knox goes out
Speaker 4: there and plays on third downs or plays on rushing
Speaker 4: downs and things like that. I could see that happening
Speaker 4: with Stours. Sadik is one of the best blocking tight
Speaker 4: ends that I've seen in all of my time scouting,
Speaker 4: and I just don't see a situation where Sidik ever
Speaker 4: comes off the football field aside from he's tired. So
Speaker 4: that is the one thing that I think kind of
Speaker 4: props him above is that I don't think he's ever
Speaker 4: coming off the field, and he has the athleticism to
Speaker 4: take the top off the defense.
Speaker 1: If Stours was as good of a blocker as Sadiq,
Speaker 1: or if Sadiq was also as bad of a blocker
Speaker 1: as Stowars, like, if they're equal in that category, would
Speaker 1: you have Sto Wars out of Sidique?
Speaker 4: Stowers is the better receiver? Okay, So yes, I think
Speaker 4: if he was. The receiving chops of Stowars are insanely impressive.
Speaker 4: And I remember early days back in our I'll let
Speaker 4: you guys behind the scenes. We have a little Dynasty
Speaker 4: nerd group chat. I was sitting there early on doing
Speaker 4: our scouting for our rookie guide over there, and I
Speaker 4: was watching Eli Stowers early on. This is like months ago,
Speaker 4: and I was like, guys, Stowers might be one B
Speaker 4: in this class at the tight end position, Like he
Speaker 4: might be right there. And Jagger was like, dude, I
Speaker 4: kind of see it too, And I was like, I
Speaker 4: need to go watch like a couple more games just
Speaker 4: to make sure that I'm not like over hyping it.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: This kid's legit and for only playing the position for
Speaker 4: a couple of years, Like I said, I think there's
Speaker 4: still so much that he can learn, which makes it scary.
Speaker 4: From a receiving standpoint, I think he could truly be
Speaker 4: a real threat in the receiver game.
Speaker 1: Fantasy meetball chiming in right now, will throw it up
Speaker 1: on the screen. What do you think of Max Claiir.
Speaker 1: We touched on it a little bit before that he
Speaker 1: might be the guy that Kansas City could go after
Speaker 1: later on in the draft, but certainly the Chiefs not.
Speaker 2: The only team that would be interested in a prospect
Speaker 2: like Claire.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's my tight end three in the class.
Speaker 4: I think he's very solid, a Day two guy for me,
Speaker 4: maybe a round two or round three pick.
Speaker 3: But I kind of view his game as Pat Friarmth plus.
Speaker 4: And I know that doesn't get a lot of people
Speaker 4: excited because of recent years of Pat Friarmuth and he's
Speaker 4: been sharing a lot of that workload with John new Smith.
Speaker 4: But keep in mind Pat Friarmuth gave us multiple seasons
Speaker 4: early on in his career where he was kind of
Speaker 4: this fringe tight end one for fantasy purposes.
Speaker 3: He was getting enough volume he was.
Speaker 4: Like I said earlier in the show, I like to
Speaker 4: target tight ends who are the one or two receiving option.
Speaker 4: He got in the right situation where he was the
Speaker 4: number two receiving option. I could see Claire going in
Speaker 4: that range. But I think he's a little bit better
Speaker 4: as a receiver than friar Myth was.
Speaker 3: That's why I say he's the fire Myth plus.
Speaker 1: Outside of final question for you tonight, outside of your
Speaker 1: top twenty five for your rankings, do you have a
Speaker 1: favorite player? UH, running back, receiver, a tight end, a
Speaker 1: rookie specifically is what I'm looking for here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, let me see, because I know I'm
Speaker 4: I know, I'm significantly higher than consensus on Jeremy Bernard.
Speaker 4: I've seen Jeremy Bernard go pretty low in a lot
Speaker 4: of these drafts, and I have him as a top
Speaker 4: twelve first round rookie pick in my rankings. I really
Speaker 4: like Jeremy Bernard, but outside of my top twenty five,
Speaker 4: somebody that I do like, Antonio Williams comes to mind.
Speaker 4: I think he's a very savvy route runner. Underperformed this year.
Speaker 4: If you would have went back a year before, kind
Speaker 4: of the Nick Singleton's story of like had he come
Speaker 4: out the year before, probably was going to be a
Speaker 4: guy who was a lot higher in the draft. Was
Speaker 4: looked at as one of the better wider receivers in
Speaker 4: this year's draft class. And if you want somebody deep,
Speaker 4: like really really deep that I think you guys should
Speaker 4: be paying attention to. I haven't really seen a lot
Speaker 4: of people talk about him. Eric Rivers out of Georgia Tech.
Speaker 3: He's my wide.
Speaker 4: Receiver twenty two, which doesn't sound a lot, but he
Speaker 4: is very interesting as a profile. I look at his
Speaker 4: analytics right now. The dominator rating is great, the receiving
Speaker 4: share was good in twenty twenty four. The receiving yardage
Speaker 4: was great, the receiving touchdown percentage was great, the breakout
Speaker 4: age is good. Like the analytics checkout and the production.
Speaker 4: Back in twenty twenty four, this was a twelve hundred
Speaker 4: yard receiver with twelve touchdowns.
Speaker 3: Nobody's talking about Eric Rivers.
Speaker 4: He could be a Day three or a UDFA guy
Speaker 4: that people start to talk about in May after he
Speaker 4: starts signing with some of these teams and starts getting
Speaker 4: into rookie training camps.
Speaker 1: Very exciting, very excited. I mean, every time I think
Speaker 1: I've heard of all the names, there's always another one
Speaker 1: that I have to go back and look at.
Speaker 2: And we're still a month away from the draft.
