Coming up on tonight show, we're gonna 26 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.599 get into a lot. We'll talk about Malik Neighbors and 27 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.640 how far is the right spot for him to drop 28 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.640 before you start selecting him in your f FPC main 29 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.280 event drafts. We're also going to be discussing Josh Jacobs 30 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.120 and whether the storm has passed for him and whether 31 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.040 you should be taking advantage of him in the f 32 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.719 f PC Best Ball Tournament play. We're also going to 33 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.159 get a visit from Clayton Etherich, who is an eight 34 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.000 time FFPC League winner. He's also drafting August fourth in 35 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.840 the twenty twenty six FFPC Pros versus Josie's picking tenth 36 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.039 in that league. We'll talk about that with him, and 37 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.159 we'll get into some of his teams that he's already 38 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.680 been drafting this year to get his thoughts on what 39 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.000 is shaping up to be a very very end, very 40 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.199 very fun end to the fantasy drafting season. Or start, 41 00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.000 dependent upon where you're drafting, or maybe you're right in 42 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.800 the middle. Maybe you've been drafting since January and you're 43 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.080 coming up on the last couple of months of drafting. 44 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.360 I think I sent out an FFPC email on Tuesday 45 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:41.039 stating that we're fifty seven days away from the start 46 00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.680 of the NFL season, so time is a tick in there. 47 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:45.639 If you want to get some draftsed, now's the time 48 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.319 to do it.

It's a 60 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.439 really really cool thing where you register for a draft 61 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.759 and you're automatically drafting right away.

Excited to talk chop it up with you tonight. 88 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.279 There's a lot of fun topics to be talking about 89 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.879 in the middle of a KFFFC main event. I had 90 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.759 a KFFFC rookie draft start tonight, so I'm very pumped 91 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:49.639 about that. We're in the thick of it. Man, I 92 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.079 just can't get enough of a KNT get enough drafting. 93 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.160 Which league was that the rookie draft went off tonight, 94 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.279 March I believe it was March Madness. March Madness. All right, 95 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.480 very good to look in on that and see how 96 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.600 you boys are doing. You know, everybody on Wednesday night 97 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.680 needs to come here and look in with you, Bucky. 98 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.759 Then we'll share one thing in common with me. They 99 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:14.040 will be exposed to the unique genius and broadcast professional 100 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.560 of your fantasy aspect. And then, you know, I just 101 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:24.279 sit here and I hope that I can osmodically absorb 102 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:30.759 just a small part of the dignified mind of fantasy 103 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.279 football that you have. And you know, if I can 104 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.720 do that, I think it's going to be a wonderful 105 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.360 twenty twenty six season. There's so many things I want 106 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:43.959 to point out before we get into anything tonight. Miami quarterback, 107 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:49.160 your boy, what's his name, Cleek Willis, mister Malik Willis. 108 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.079 Where was he previously Tennessee? 109 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.439 He went from from before Miami's Green Bay and then 110 00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:57.120 he was at Tennessee. 111 00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.560 Before he was at Tennessee. He's been beat up. He's 112 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.360 earned it little bit, kind of like you and me. 113 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:03.800 I kind of earned it a little bit. You know, 114 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:11.120 I wrote over looking up a stat today. I heard 115 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.279 it somewhere and verified it. If you can find a 116 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.560 quarterback that's going to carry the ball over one hundred 117 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.120 times a year and an offense, you've got a good 118 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.759 shot of him being a top twelve quarterback. And I 119 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.079 think you're gonna get those one hundred carries out. And 120 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.480 you've been You've been beating that drum for this player 121 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.120 ever since we started this spring. So it's you know, 122 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:36.040 it's just I'm winning because I'm listening to Balky, Yes, 123 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:37.319 exactly what's up? 124 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.000 Well, listen, we're gonna try to bring that that fun 125 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:45.279 tonight for everybody, the fun of watching us, watching Clayton 126 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.120 Ethridge talk about his team so far this year, his 127 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.680 thoughts on how he's gonna build a juggernaut and pros 128 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.399 versus Joe's and so much more. I want to kick 129 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.480 things off tonight, Ferrell with going down to the Big 130 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:03.319 Easy and talking about the the contract. The surprising contract 131 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.560 news that we got from Nick Underhill today from New 132 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:10.279 Orleans Dot Football, Alvin Kamara and the Saints are finalizing 133 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.399 a new deal right now. Probably a pay cut, we 134 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.199 would imagine, so the Saints can keep him around on 135 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.160 the team. There could be incentives in this as well. Again, 136 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.360 this was kind of a foregone conclusion earlier in the 137 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.399 season that Kamara was going to be gone, and then 138 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.279 as it kind of you dragged on that he was 139 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.079 still on the team and became more and more likely 140 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.040 he was going to be a part of the Saints 141 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:33.680 this year. And it looks like that is going to 142 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.519 happen now. Kamara said he wanted to finish his career 143 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.399 in New Orleans, so maybe he took a little hometown 144 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.839 discount to make that happen. I think the fantasy analysis 145 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.040 that we take away from this, Farrell is we know 146 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.759 Kamara is not the player he used to be, but 147 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.959 we do know he still has those pass catching chops, 148 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.199 and those pass catching chops are valuable in New Orleans. 149 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.560 That we thought if he was not going to be 150 00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.319 a part of the Saints this year, Travis Etchien was 151 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.639 going to be taking over and getting a huge chunk 152 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:02.240 of those. 153 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.519 Now we know he probably will not be. What do 154 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:05.920 you think this would do to his ADP? 155 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.199 More importantly, Pharrell, how far would you let Etchian fall 156 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.160 now that you know that Kamara is going to be 157 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.240 taking over at least some of that third down work 158 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.040 for Kellen Moore and Tyler Schuck in New Orleans atchim 159 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.800 According to Fantasy Mojo at fantasymojo dot com, Fantasy Mojo 160 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.920 on the ex Darren Rmani runs that website. He runs 161 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.439 the pros versus Joe's check it out. If you have 162 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.160 an FFPC team, you should be getting a subscription to 163 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.519 Fantasymojo dot com over the last five days. In the 164 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:36.320 Big Gorilla Running Back sixteen at the three twelve, would 165 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.879 you be letting him slip past Jacob's Javonte Williams scataboo 166 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.080 right now or would you still be taking him at 167 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:44.720 the end of the third I'm. 168 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.960 Going to take him about scataboo with that arraseement, and 169 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:50.039 he's just Stephen G says he should drop a little more. Yes, 170 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.159 a little is the key word there. He is still 171 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.320 the guy. There's a lot of carries in that backfield. 172 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.879 There's a lot of snaps in that backfield. I never 173 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.600 thought Kamara was leaving now. I don't know where got that. 174 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.840 I think that was maybe wishful thanking from some fantasy players. 175 00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:06.600 I thought he would try to pick his game up 176 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:09.120 and take it somewhere else. Now this is his football home. 177 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.679 He will contribute. What's more interesting is where Kamara might 178 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.919 be going in this draft. He's an interesting player as 179 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.240 a value pick. Can we get to him late? Can 180 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.720 we even turn into double digits bulky? Where's he going? Yeah? 181 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.559 Definitely running back fifty four right now for Kamara. He's 182 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.720 going in the early fourteenth round on it. Oh my goodness. 183 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.120 That's just like stealing. That is just like stealing. 184 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:38.679 He's going behind luminaries like Tyler Algier, Tank Bigsby and 185 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.399 Marshan Lloyd. You can get Kamara in the early fourteenth 186 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.879 if you want him right now. I'm with you and 187 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.200 Steve G. Obviously letting Etchien slip a little bit more. 188 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.879 I'd be taking Javonte Williams over him. I might be 189 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:56.240 taking Scataboo over him. You know, maybe it's just because 190 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.480 I'm very high on Scataboo, but that's how I feel 191 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.360 about it right now. And then that other running that 192 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.480 was going right after him, who did I just mention Jacobs? 193 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:04.519 Josh Jacobs. 194 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.399 I'd be taking Jacobs ahead, So I'd be taking probably 195 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.480 all three of those guys ahead of Etchien. Then you 196 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.720 get into the Montgomery Judkins area. I'm still probably taking 197 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.879 etch over those guys, but it's close. 198 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:19.960 With Montgomery. I'm a big Montgomery. I'm a big Montgomery overall. 199 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.919 He could yeah, could very well be as well. Let's 200 00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:26.360 go to San Francisco. This is a player that we 201 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.120 have talked about before Pharaoh, and the news just continues 202 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.000 to be positive with George Kittle. Victor four, who covers 203 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:37.799 the Niners for the Athletic Publication, reports that Kittle is 204 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.240 ahead of schedule, which, as you know, is the new 205 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:44.440 on schedule. Kittle was apparently doing some cutting a few 206 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.519 weeks ago, and he's running more than sixteen miles an hour, 207 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:49.759 which is great. I don't really have anything to compare 208 00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:51.559 it to, because I don't know what Kittle was running 209 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:56.279 at prior to this torn achilles ughes Chick was interviewed 210 00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.840 by Tifour in his story Kyle Uschek and again, you know, 211 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.200 like to take injury advice or recovery advice, either the 212 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.679 player or the teammates. But Yuschek thinks there's a real 213 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.480 chance that we want Kittle is going to be coming 214 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:12.120 down to Australia to play in that game, so we'll 215 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:13.120 see what happens. 216 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:14.960 He tore his achilles in the playoffs. 217 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.000 Farrell, He's still looking like a bargain in if he 218 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.960 is healthy and he's ready and he's going to be 219 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.120 playing this season like he has played in the past, 220 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.399 to the level he's played in the past. He's tight 221 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.279 end nine right now at the seven oh two. Both 222 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.919 him and Isaiah Likely are steaming up. They've moved past 223 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.960 Travis Kelcey next on the list as Sam Laporter for 224 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:36.639 those guys, but. 225 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.679 They're still going a full round behind Laporta. 226 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.840 I'm talking about Kittle and Likely, but specifically about the 227 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:43.720 San Francisco tight end here, Farrell. 228 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.639 This is a guy I had written off earlier in 229 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:46.000 the year. 230 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.639 And I think I might have to reevaluate and start 231 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.000 looking at this guy a little bit more seriously as 232 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:52.840 a top ten tight end the same and well. 233 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:55.360 You should bulky again, you know. I apparently you have 234 00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.679 not been listening to me when I tell you this 235 00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:01.960 is best damn player. Well, and what does the best 236 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.279 player in the NFL do? He leads by example, He 237 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:10.519 has great attitude. He is core strength personified. And you know, 238 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.000 Patrick Mahomes said it today in an interview. I heard 239 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.360 him say, I don't get to make that decision about 240 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.039 when I come back. It's not my decision. Neither is 241 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:21.240 it Kittle's decision. But he's doing everything he can to 242 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.039 get back. That's what the teammate's talking about. They see 243 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.000 him working. He gets there early, stays late, it's extra treatment, 244 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.200 does everything he can do. Plus he brings an attitude 245 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.279 to the team that hey, I'm trying to get ready 246 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.960 to play, and that's what everybody sees, and that's what 247 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.559 everybody's commenting about. So we don't want to, you know, 248 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.320 can't you can't take the teammate's assessment to the bank. 249 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.120 But teammates a veteran player and he's pointing at him 250 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.159 and saying that's the way we should all be. So 251 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.000 that's kind of player you want on your team. And 252 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.399 until then you got Jake. You got to go get Jake. 253 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:55.879 Where's Jake being drafted? Seventeen sixteen? He's fall to Jake? 254 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.360 Yeah, I mean he never really, I mean he moved 255 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.879 up a little bit, but he's been falling quite a 256 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.360 bit tight end twenty eight. Now he's at the sixteen 257 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.799 seventeen turn. That's Friarmouth Otton Territory right now. And then 258 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.159 of course it's speaking of the Big Gorilla, a contest 259 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.960 you can play right now for three hundred and fifty 260 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.879 bucks billion dollars grand prize. Baby, that's what it's all about. 261 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:17.919 With slow Mime drafts filling up. We got the seven 262 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.519 Bananas promo as well. Checking out my FFPC doctor. 263 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.440 Did they suspend the drafts when the show was on? 264 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.440 Do they stop the drift? So literally, that's what I 265 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.039 would like to do right now. I would like to 266 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:28.960 go join a draft. 267 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:29.240 Yea. 268 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.360 I'd like to draft Kittle and Jake and probably one 269 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:32.919 more guy. 270 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.720 You have, by the way, just on the Big Guerrilla 271 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.159 tonight if you are looking for some action. Nine spots 272 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.759 left in the midnight draft tonight, so you'll be able to. 273 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:41.960 Join that if you'd like. 274 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.720 We have several four slow drafts going on right now 275 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:49.320 too that you can sign up for my FFPC dot com. 276 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:53.039 I want to get your read on Stefan Diggs Pharrell. 277 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.519 I think he's kind of moving up a little bit 278 00:13:55.600 --> 00:14:00.559 now that we're getting closer to camp, Jeremy Fowler reported. 279 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.519 He didn't say which teams, but are reported at least 280 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.679 five teams have checked in on bringing in Stefan Diggs, 281 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:10.879 and Fowler said that Digs, despite being a veteran, probably 282 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.480 doesn't want to play training air practice and training camp. 283 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.840 He still could get signed prior to a training camp. 284 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:21.519 He mentioned Washington. I feel like the Auk Highway to 285 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:26.000 UH to the Commanders is probably permanently disabled. 286 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:27.600 I don't think that's gonna happen anymore. 287 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:35.039 Fowler did mention Baltimore as a team that sometimes will 288 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.600 add these free agents late in the game. Now, he 289 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.480 didn't say that the Ravens are one of these teams 290 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:42.320 that were interested in. However, if you connect you know, 291 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.679 two and two together here you're red between the lines, 292 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:47.919 you probably sense that Baltimore might be one of those 293 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:51.120 teams that's interested and that's specifically what I want to 294 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:53.960 talk about here. I think he seamlessly fits in with 295 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.360 the Commanders, right. I don't think that hurts a con Quo. 296 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:01.039 I don't think it hurts McLaurin. It might hurt Antonio Williams, 297 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.919 but Williams is going so far down. My concern with 298 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:09.200 Diggs going to Baltimore is that it might hurt Zay Flowers. 299 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:10.759 It might hurt Mark Andrews. 300 00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:13.159 Obviously, when you think about the rookies they got there 301 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:17.720 in Jacoby Lane and Elijah Saratt, it's obviously going to 302 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.559 take a huge ding out of that Rashan Bateman as well. 303 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.120 But I guess my thought here is, if he does 304 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:25.440 go to Baltimore, since that's one of the teams that 305 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.759 Fowler alluded to here, what does that do for Zay Flowers? 306 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.200 What does that do for Mark Andrews? In your mind? 307 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.720 How big of a ding is that to their fantasy 308 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:36.000 production in twenty twenty seven? 309 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.519 I think it enhances those guys as football players, and 310 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:41.320 if you get going and if you get in a groove, 311 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.480 having a player like that could actually help Flowers catch 312 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:52.679 more balls and actually get more yardage and Andrews. I 313 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:57.159 think we've seen some of his best football. But at 314 00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:00.320 the same time, there's always a spot for the tight 315 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.840 end in this offense, and people want to buy into 316 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.279 the aspect that Lamar is not going to run the 317 00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:07.399 ball as much as he hasn't passed. I don't know 318 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:12.399 if that's true or not, But to me, with Diggs, 319 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:15.440 you would think a veteran player like this wants to 320 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.000 go out on top. You know, he's he's been very 321 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:21.519 successful in football, and he's looking for a home. He's 322 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.279 nomadic because what he does not have is he does 323 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:27.879 not have a coaching tree that really is welcoming him. 324 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.639 And he doesn't have a quarterback that's saying get me Digs. 325 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:37.200 There's some assets of accumulation of years in the NFL 326 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.799 that it doesn't they don't really come to him. So 327 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.600 he's he's a bit of a mercenary in the situation. 328 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:47.639 And it looks to me like he would you would 329 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:49.799 rather go to a ball Where do he go to college? 330 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:50.799 Darylyn? 331 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.480 Okay, all right, so you know he's right down the 332 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:56.919 street for me that you know, this is a stomping ground, 333 00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:00.279 you know, and it's uh in his mind. May he's 334 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.720 thinking he's returning to his college home, have fond memories 335 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:08.480 of that to where he would go out. Yes, Dynasty drafters, 336 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.359 it destroys some of those guys that took the receivers 337 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.119 at Baltimore that just you know if he goes there. Now. 338 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.759 Diggs took most of his snaps and did most of 339 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.880 his play out of the slot position last year, and 340 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.759 I think he was highly productive out of it. So yeah, 341 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.599 I really like this for Diggs. I've got Digs locked 342 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.319 up on some Dynasty teams and I'm looking for many, 343 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.359 many ways to keep him. I don't want to release him, 344 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:40.599 and I think if somebody is foolishly already released him 345 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.759 in Dynasty, well, our dynasty graphs are over in the FFBC, 346 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:49.480 but in Kentucky in the few Dynasty leagues that we have, 347 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:52.000 Digs is available. 348 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.279 Grabby Diggs right now, wide receiver fifty three at the 349 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:57.039 eleven or nine. 350 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.759 Well worth the swing there, in my opinion, merrels as well. 351 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.799 By the way, Diggs was born and grew up went 352 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.119 to high school in Maryland as well, so he is 353 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:09.839 Maryland through and through, crab cakes and football as the 354 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:13.039 as the great Vince Vawn once said in Wedding Crashers, 355 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:15.079 we have another guy that's gonna give us a lot 356 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.440 of great quotes tonight. He is a player that has 357 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:22.240 won eight FFPC League championships in his career, and you 358 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:25.559 can watch him draft live Tuesday, August fourth, ten pm 359 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:27.839 Eastern Time, when he is drafting out of the ten 360 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.680 spot in the pros Versus Joe's Draft for one of 361 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.720 the six drafts that will be that we'll be streaming 362 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.759 this year.

When we'll get to fantasy football here in 378 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:32.680 a second, tell us what you're doing when you're not 379 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.799 winning FFPC leagues and preparing for process as Joe's What 380 00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:36.559 are you doing for a living? 381 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:46.079 I'm a landscaper. I own a landscaping company, so I 382 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:52.359 work outside all day. Yeah, think about fantasy football as 383 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:52.799 I'm working. 384 00:19:54.720 --> 00:20:00.960 So, Clayton, why you're thinking about fantasy footbar? Are you 385 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:05.440 thinking about? Are you thinking about a certain receiver for 386 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:10.279 the Arizona Cardinals because Balky Man, Balky has just turned 387 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:12.359 me off of this player if I ever thought. And 388 00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:17.440 Balky's reasoning is the quarterback position on Harrison. But I, 389 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:18.160 on the other. 390 00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.440 Well, that's one of the reasons. That's well, but. 391 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:24.440 That's your number one really And and I didn't care 392 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:27.559 for his quarterback position when he had a quarterback, you know, 393 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:29.920 I didn't think it was so great for him. What 394 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.960 are you doing with Marvin Harrison? Enlightened the listeners as 395 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:38.200 to what they should be doing in upcoming drafts with 396 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:42.960 this seamlessly talented receiver who is in a landing spot 397 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.279 that just doesn't seem to move the needle. 398 00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:51.279 Well, you can go through all the cliches of third 399 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:58.519 year receiver blah blah blah, all that stuff breakout. But 400 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:03.440 if a talented guy like that going in probably the sixth, 401 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.799
