Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen tonight, mister Farrell Elliott from the KFFFC.
Speaker 1: Good evening at Farrell. How's it going. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you like those analogies at all.
Speaker 3: All three of those guys could be interpreted as extra baggage. However,
Speaker 3: with Ed McMahon, he did get to tell people they
Speaker 3: could be a winner. That's what I tell everyone of
Speaker 3: the signs up the KFFSC Bonky Monkey. Part of your
Speaker 3: face tonight is in shade and part of it is
Speaker 3: fantastically illuminedminated and it gives a real interesting play with
Speaker 3: the lighting. We're gonna have to get on the set
Speaker 3: design here, Bulky, and yeah, I know a few people
Speaker 3: that could that could hook me up.
Speaker 1: Lighting is everything when it comes to television and film
Speaker 1: and everything, So yeah, I need to I need to
Speaker 1: get on that. How is everything going in your neck
Speaker 1: of the woods right now? As we head into late May,
Speaker 1: Farrell June is going to be here before we know it.
Speaker 1: It's crazy drafting seasons going on and I think some
Speaker 1: people are still snoozing. They don't realize it's going on yet.
Speaker 3: You know, some people just don't want to draft what
Speaker 3: they call early and this is this is middle drafting,
Speaker 3: is what I would call it. I was teasing with
Speaker 3: the Dizzle earlier today. I said, we should say, Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers is signed up, and so should you. So come
Speaker 3: on and get in and pick your teams. But it's
Speaker 3: uh bulky for a man who drafted around the clock
Speaker 3: at this year's Super Bowl event, the kf F s
Speaker 3: A so we we I don't know why people want
Speaker 3: to live without drafting. There's so much value right now
Speaker 3: to get involved. And there is a good amount of
Speaker 3: f f PC drafting that that I have done. And
Speaker 3: I like drafting early because the closer I get to
Speaker 3: the live events, the more the closer I get to
Speaker 3: camp opening, the closer we get to the middle days
Speaker 3: and the dog days of July, the less time I
Speaker 3: have to enjoy it. So it's it's really a good thing.
Speaker 1: I just like. And I I talk to you about
Speaker 1: the importance of of slow drafts, which you obviously recognize.
Speaker 1: I'm of the opinion that the the the slow drafts
Speaker 1: and and Best Ball too. In general. That's kind of
Speaker 1: revolutionized fantasy football, right whereas oh, I can draft in
Speaker 1: May and I don't have to worry about, you know,
Speaker 1: setting my lineup every week and placing waivers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can.
Speaker 1: You can do that with the FFPC. You can do
Speaker 1: it with the k f F f C and and
Speaker 1: and slow drafts where you can just operate. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm I think my max I've ever done is like
Speaker 1: five at one time. But I know there's people out
Speaker 1: there at the f f PC grinding out dozens of
Speaker 1: drafts at the same time, maybe even hundreds. Dare I
Speaker 1: say so?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, whatever you want there, there is something
Speaker 1: for you right now with both the f f PC
Speaker 1: and the k f f f C.
Speaker 3: Le's you at the live event at Planet Hollywood or
Speaker 3: in Louisville. If you want to come in and draft
Speaker 3: your first team on the Saturday of the event. That's
Speaker 3: fine for us too. You know, that's that's good. But
Speaker 3: we just don't know what you're missing out on what
Speaker 3: everyone seems to be enjoyed, which are these early contests.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's that's the important important thing to understand.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Two, when you know, whatever you want to do, you
Speaker 1: don't have to be a volume drafter to be successful.
Speaker 1: We've had I don't know countless people on this show
Speaker 1: who have you know, they've they've had one entry in
Speaker 1: the Big Gorilla or one entry in the main event,
Speaker 1: and they win the whole thing. Yeah, and some people
Speaker 1: prefer that way. Some people like, you know what, I
Speaker 1: can't handle you know, two or three teams over the
Speaker 1: course of a season. I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do one and that's it. And that's fine,
Speaker 1: and it's worked out for some people before. But I
Speaker 1: will say, by and large, the people who come on
Speaker 1: this show will talk about how close they came, and
Speaker 1: they're like, only I would have had one more team,
Speaker 1: If I only would have had a few more teams.
Speaker 1: It's not me trying to sell teams. That's not what
Speaker 1: I do. People who watch the show, No, I don't
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying I know I do. I do.
Speaker 1: But the thing of it is is, you know what
Speaker 1: it comes down to, It's mathematically proven that the more
Speaker 1: teams you have, the better chance you have to win.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say mathematically proven, but it stands to reason.
Speaker 3: And from my experience, and you know, Sean Green drops
Speaker 3: in here and says, wish you can handle more managed leagues.
Speaker 3: Managing two teams and managing four teams is not the
Speaker 3: same time commitment for the second too. The more teams
Speaker 3: you manage, the more you can anticipate free agency. You
Speaker 3: go down to look a free list of free agency,
Speaker 3: and you say, what's this guy doing here? You know
Speaker 3: he would he's not in anything else. And so now
Speaker 3: you and you move quicker through those and and I
Speaker 3: love it because after you get through the first couple
Speaker 3: of leagues, now you you know you're in You're in
Speaker 3: fifth gear and you're racing, baby, And that's that's a
Speaker 3: good thing.
Speaker 1: I I I just look at it from the standpoint,
Speaker 1: and this is the last thing I'll say on it,
Speaker 1: like fantasy football is fun. And me, who has been
Speaker 1: playing fantasy football now for over thirty years, the more
Speaker 1: teams I have, the more fun I've had. Now, maybe
Speaker 1: that's not the case for everybody, but I think chances
Speaker 1: are if you're watching the show or listening to the show,
Speaker 1: it's probably the case for you. So check it out
Speaker 1: my f f PC dot com, kf FC dot com and.
Speaker 3: As we broke down the schedule from last week and
Speaker 3: you you you did a great job on your Thursday
Speaker 3: night show. As the schedule was being released, we find
Speaker 3: more and more ways, more and more opportunities to be
Speaker 3: engaged with the NFL, which makes having more teams even
Speaker 3: more enjoyable. So it's a great schedule that we're coming
Speaker 3: into this year. It's yeah, it's exciting stuff with a
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Ball right, yes, exactly, which my wife has already kissed
Speaker 1: me goodbye.
Speaker 3: I'm very familiar with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she might. I don't know. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I just know I'll be in Kentucky drafting teams,
Speaker 1: which is gonna be fun. Farrell, let me ask you
Speaker 1: a weird question here tonight, and I'm by giving you
Speaker 1: this Paul Gutierrez report who covers the Las Vegas Raiders. Yes,
Speaker 1: good Jach. The new head coach for the Raiders called
Speaker 1: Brock Powers a quote football robot from heaven. I don't
Speaker 1: know exactly what that means, but I think it's a
Speaker 1: good thing.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak thinks very highly of Brock Bowers, and why
Speaker 1: wouldn't he Because he is part of the organization that
Speaker 1: drafted basically nothing and added only Jalen Naylor As far
Speaker 1: as a difference maker, and I don't even know if
Speaker 1: he's a difference maker at wide receiver and free agency,
Speaker 1: it's Trey Tucker, it's Jack Bash and not a whole
Speaker 1: lot else. The question is this Pharrell brock Bauers. According
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Mojo Darren RMANI runs fantasymojo dot com, Get
Speaker 1: a subscription. If you're an FFPC player, you'll you'll be
Speaker 1: better off for it. Godfather of the process. As Joe's
Speaker 1: challenge as well key lists, brock Bowers is tight end
Speaker 1: two at the same ad P as tight end one,
Speaker 1: with Trey McBride at the one O nine. Are we
Speaker 1: too low in the f f PC? Are our f
Speaker 1: FPC players too low on brock Powers Given that seemingly
Speaker 1: everything that's come out of Las Vegas, from the end
Speaker 1: of the season to free agency to the draft has
Speaker 1: all been super positive about Bowers. This is a player
Speaker 1: I know. Dizzel who's who's watching in the YouTube chat
Speaker 1: right now? He set a call after Bower's rookie season.
Speaker 1: He thought Bowers might be the one on one in
Speaker 1: redraft leagues and he and we did see Bowers go
Speaker 1: as the one on one in a few FFPC leagues. Now,
Speaker 1: with all this positivity, knowing he's coming off a bad year,
Speaker 1: knowing his ADP is depressed, one oh nine, doesn't that
Speaker 1: seem low for Bowers? Should f FPC players be drafting
Speaker 1: Bowers higher than the one o nine at the moment?
Speaker 3: Probably so, And they probably will, especially when you get
Speaker 3: to your man that you're drafting X amount of teams
Speaker 3: and you see what your draft slots have been assigned,
Speaker 3: and you realize, hey, look, if I'm gonna have Bowers,
Speaker 3: i'm gonna you know, I'm gonna have to take him
Speaker 3: here because I won't get him and and so yeah,
Speaker 3: he'll push up the boards. When you walk around and
Speaker 3: talk to the Raider players, uh, visit with some of
Speaker 3: them after a game. If you ask the one thing
Speaker 3: they all agree on, if you ask them to say
Speaker 3: anything about Boers, that they will tell you that that's
Speaker 3: the best football player I've ever met. And we're talking
Speaker 3: about the guys that have met a lot of football players.
Speaker 3: So you know, with that kind of blessing, off you
Speaker 3: go and yes, now the Raiders are going to make
Speaker 3: some moves at wide receiver. It's a bit puzzling because
Speaker 3: this was a great, great year for wide receivers, even
Speaker 3: in even amongst undrafted free agents, you could find talent
Speaker 3: to bring in and that some of those some of
Speaker 3: those receivers may rise if you look deep into the
Speaker 3: depth chart. But I think we're going to see some
Speaker 3: June first veterans. I think they're also going to dip
Speaker 3: into the into the UFL the you know, an old
Speaker 3: name fantasy players are familiar with. kJ Hamler is having
Speaker 3: a very good year. Looks like he's got his explosion
Speaker 3: back and playing well. There'll be some numbers of the
Speaker 3: changes of veteran wide receivers with this team. But yeah,
Speaker 3: a lot of this offense is going to run through Bowers.
Speaker 1: You know, And we bring up and I know you
Speaker 1: probably didn't say everybody, but you know, I think about
Speaker 1: some of these free agent wide receivers are still out
Speaker 1: there with Keenan, Allen, Stefan Diggs, Deebo, Samuel. I feel
Speaker 1: like we've been talking about it for months on this show,
Speaker 1: but still on side. So there is something to be
Speaker 1: said for that. The great thing about those receivers, though,
Speaker 1: Farrel is they're not going to eat into Bowers. I mean,
Speaker 1: if they were difference makers, somebody would have signed him.
Speaker 1: Now Bowers is a different maker, and Klint Kubiak says
Speaker 1: he's a football robot from heaven, which is going to
Speaker 1: be the name of a lot of f FPC and KFFS
Speaker 1: team games.
Speaker 3: All Right, kff You're telling him what to do and
Speaker 3: he does it. It's like a programmable robot. Maybe they
Speaker 3: love it.
Speaker 1: Super coachable, super talented. What's not to like about brock
Speaker 1: Bowers Flipping to the other side of the age spectrum.
Speaker 1: We found out from Nick Farrabau today Farrel that Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers has said this is it. The twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: campaign will be his last year in the n He's
Speaker 1: not going to be stringing anybody along next season. He said,
Speaker 1: this is it, which is I think kind of nice
Speaker 1: for him, kind of nice for his fans, kind of
Speaker 1: nice for the Steelers knowing what they're walking into in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. Rogers is going to have the opportunity
Speaker 1: now to throw to DK Metcalf for a second season.
Speaker 1: He gets Michael Pittman, he gets Jeremy Bernard in the draft,
Speaker 1: Pat Fryer Moves, who I think is underrated in a
Speaker 1: lot of FFPC drafts right now, is added onto this team,
Speaker 1: as well as Dowbell to the Jalen Warren backfield, and
Speaker 1: something named Aklin Caleb Johnson is still in that backfield
Speaker 1: as well. My question to you is, now that we
Speaker 1: know that Rogers is there, we know it's not Drew Aller,
Speaker 1: Will Howard or God forbid Mason Rudolph under center in
Speaker 1: Week one, it will be Rogers. How much are you
Speaker 1: bumping up these Steelers pass catchers this season? Does? I
Speaker 1: mean like, it's very, very difficult for me to say, oh,
Speaker 1: this is great for Metcalf, given that last season with
Speaker 1: Rogers was terrible for DK Metcalf. But I am curious
Speaker 1: about the unknowns. What does this do for Bernard? What
Speaker 1: does this do for Michael Pittman? Knowing that these guys
Speaker 1: have never caught passes from Rogers before, how should we
Speaker 1: be handling them in our drafts? At the moment.
Speaker 3: Rogers throws a pretty good ball. It's easy enough to
Speaker 3: catch ball. Key. There was also elements of that article
Speaker 3: that said what do we have to look for as
Speaker 3: fantasy players? And I think you know, this was not
Speaker 3: a good team last year, and some of the guys
Speaker 3: come on the show and they talked about, well, all
Speaker 3: he did was throw the ball. Again, well, well, it's
Speaker 3: better than taking a sack. There's a lot of situations
Speaker 3: where you know, you got to get rid of the ball.
Speaker 3: And you can look at highlights of what he did
Speaker 3: last year and all of those names of players but
Speaker 3: you spoke of had some standout games and solid performances.
Speaker 3: Now you take a look at what he did last year.
Speaker 3: The team was ten and six, so we found a
Speaker 3: way to win. He threw twenty four touchdowns and seven picks.
Speaker 3: He threw more touchdowns than Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson. He
Speaker 3: threw more than hurts, He threw more than party. You
Speaker 3: know he's and this is a better team. Seven interceptions
Speaker 3: was you know, you don't throw a lot of interceptions
Speaker 3: when you're not throwing the ball downfield. But I think
Speaker 3: he can. I think he can still sling it. I
Speaker 3: think there's a spin on that ball that gets out
Speaker 3: of his hand and gets down the field to receivers
Speaker 3: like Metcalf. The more that he can be protected, the
Speaker 3: better the line plays, the better the running game. I
Speaker 3: think you've got a chance for the many of these
Speaker 3: players to have standout seasons and Rogers, who's essentially undrafted
Speaker 3: even though we all knew he was coming back, but
Speaker 3: he'll remain undrafted now that we know he's coming back.
Speaker 3: That's my prediction, and there's an easy there's some matchups
Speaker 3: through a managed season of fantasy football that you would
Speaker 3: like to have Rogers at.
Speaker 1: Your quarterback before you he is back, and he shouldn't
Speaker 1: be undrafted. I will say this. In a KFFFC All
Speaker 1: Championship league and I am in Farrell. I ended up
Speaker 1: taking Rogers upon this news as my third quarterback in
Speaker 1: that league, and I feel pretty good about it. I
Speaker 1: feel like if I was in a managed league that
Speaker 1: I probably would stay away from him, but as a
Speaker 1: third quarterback in the best ball feel pretty good about that.
Speaker 1: The two guys, and we won't get into it because
Speaker 1: I tonight at least because our guess is coming up here.
Speaker 1: And I think I've said this already before, but the
Speaker 1: two guys I like on Pittsburgh this year as far
Speaker 1: as Rogers being back, as Michael Pittman and Pat Fryarmouth,
Speaker 1: I think both those guys are are in for some
Speaker 1: significantly solid seasons given their ADP. Right now in the FFPC,
Speaker 1: big go Rilla, as you always like to say, right now,
Speaker 1: you can get Pittman as wide receiver forty three in
Speaker 1: the mid ninth round, and you can get Firemouth again
Speaker 1: tight end tight end thirty in the seventeenth round. I
Speaker 1: think both of those are going to crazily outperform their ADP.
Speaker 1: Is there all right? I want to get into this, Pharrell,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give you an analogy after this. And
Speaker 1: Tom Smith is coming up. I promise he's he's enjoyed
Speaker 1: in the in the green room right now, but we're
Speaker 1: gonna bring him out in a little bit. The New
Speaker 1: York Post had an article today with some Jackson darts
Speaker 1: quotes and and basically darts in this town hall with
Speaker 1: with giants, fans and media whatever. He said this about
Speaker 1: the offenses here quote, it sounds like we're not going
Speaker 1: to be throwing the ball a lot. We're gonna keep
Speaker 1: giving it to Camp Scataboo until they can stop it.
Speaker 1: In Scataboo obviously coming off the surgically repaired ankle, which
Speaker 1: was a really nasty injury. Blah blah blah, here's the
Speaker 1: analogy I'm gonna give you. And you know, I love
Speaker 1: to talk about my high school athletics days like glory days, sir.
Speaker 1: Glory is my senior year of my bab my baseball team.
Speaker 1: We lost a lot of seniors the year before. At
Speaker 1: least one of them got drafted, I know that in
Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball Draft. And our coach came together
Speaker 1: and told us before the start of the season, Hey,
Speaker 1: the newspaper, the radio stations, they're asking me about this squad,
Speaker 1: and I say, it's kind of a reloading year, rebuilding year.
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna muddle our way through it. But
Speaker 1: but I feel good about these guys. He told us this.
Speaker 1: But then he also told us He's like, I don't
Speaker 1: believe that at all. I believe that you guys are
Speaker 1: just as good as last year's team. I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna make a run for the conference title, and sure
Speaker 1: enough we did. Now we didn't win it, but we
Speaker 1: did take second like base you know, and a lot
Speaker 1: of people didn't think we're gonna do that. I'm equating
Speaker 1: this to what this quote is from Jackson Dart here.
Speaker 1: I wonder if this is one of those things that
Speaker 1: you say, like, yeah, we're gonna run the ball. My
Speaker 1: new head coaches old School and John Harbaugh. We got Scataboo,
Speaker 1: we got Tracy Neighbors is coming off this knee injury
Speaker 1: or whatever. We just want to run the ball, play defense.
Speaker 1: We got all this great pass rushers, and we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens, you know, kind of like an awe shucks,
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do. And I wonder if
Speaker 1: secretly Harbaugh's like, no, we're gonna light up the Commanders,
Speaker 1: We're gonna light the Cowboys this year. I wonder if
Speaker 1: he's privately saying because I don't understand why Dart would
Speaker 1: come out and say this unless he's just maybe he
Speaker 1: is just maybe I shouldn't be reading between the lines
Speaker 1: on this, but maybe this is just a yeah, this
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna do this year. I don't know
Speaker 1: what to think off this. But Ferrell, knowing that the
Speaker 1: talent that Dart has, and knowing the significant injury that
Speaker 1: Skataboo is coming off of, and knowing that they did
Speaker 1: not get Jeremiah Smith, and they did not get Kenneth Walker,
Speaker 1: and they did not add any significant pieces to this backfield.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know if I'm putting
Speaker 1: a whole lot of stock into this. I think that
Speaker 1: this could still be a big year for Dart airing
Speaker 1: and out not only the neighbors, but guys like Malachi Fields,
Speaker 1: guys like Isaiah Likely and the like, and quite frankly
Speaker 1: Tracy and Scattabou as well.
Speaker 3: Well, yes, you might point, and I think what would
Speaker 3: be left to say is you know that mister Dart
Speaker 3: might not be in charge of the playbook at any
Speaker 3: point in time. I wonder, I wonder what the old
Speaker 3: I wonder what the old leathery coach, the legend Mike
Speaker 3: Brown of his Cleveland Browns, who's none of the players
Speaker 3: like playing for uh. I wonder what he would have
Speaker 3: had to say about a commentary like that so many
Speaker 3: years ago. But that's that should be a guy that
Speaker 3: you should that should be a guy Balky that you
Speaker 3: should add to your imitation list. We need to get
Speaker 3: to go back and watch some Paul Brown things and
Speaker 3: you could you could just you know, because he would
Speaker 3: say something like mister Dart is not in charge of
Speaker 3: the playbook, and then he would just stare at you
Speaker 3: like he wants to shoot you you know that would
Speaker 3: be and that that's that's kind of what it is.
Speaker 3: But you're right. They have so much talent at the
Speaker 3: wide receiver's position, and especially with the addition of Likely
Speaker 3: who I believe is a slot receiver. In this offense,
Speaker 3: they're gonna play a lot of tight end personnel maybe twelve,
Speaker 3: maybe some times thirteen, and that will lead itself to
Speaker 3: a running game if they can get mismatches. It's a
Speaker 3: good group with the New York Giants. You know you're
Speaker 3: never going to go run the fantasy football drafting talented
Speaker 3: players and these guys will work it out. They will,
Speaker 3: they should, and no matter what the young quarterback has
Speaker 3: to say. In May, we will.
Speaker 1: Have more Giants conversation for those of you who can't
Speaker 1: get enough of it coming up, not only later on
Speaker 1: in this show, but on Friday Night. I'll announce who
Speaker 1: our guest is going to be on that show here
Speaker 1: before we bid you it, do it tonight before we
Speaker 1: bid you a due. My god, this guy's been so patient.
Speaker 1: Let's bring him in now, ladies and gentlemen. He is
Speaker 1: a three time champion in FFPC leagues, a multi multi
Speaker 1: time team champion in KFFF C leagues. It was not
Speaker 1: that long ago, three years ago in fact, that he
Speaker 1: won seventy five k and Art Sports playing over there.
Speaker 1: He also won a ten thousand dollars prize about eight
Speaker 1: years ago with Art Sports as well. He's been to
Speaker 1: the mountaintop before and he's looking to get to the
Speaker 1: mountaintop in the FFPC Big Gorilla this season, the KFFFC
Speaker 1: Mountaintop main event this season as well. You connect with
Speaker 1: him on the X at Finns Fan thirteen. That's FI
Speaker 1: n z F A N one three. Please welcome onto
Speaker 1: the program the incomparable Tom Smith. Tom, how are you?
Speaker 4: I'm great, guys, thanks for having me excited.
Speaker 3: And Tom Smith, you've got basketball on in the background.
Speaker 3: You're gonna turn that out violate all night. It's a
Speaker 3: violation already of my principles, but it's gonna violate our media, right.
Speaker 3: You're gonna turn that to TV off of the background.
Speaker 1: So Tom, I'll pitch this to you. We had Sean
Speaker 1: Green on last Friday on extra reps on these here
Speaker 1: airway and I looked at your your X feed. You
Speaker 1: guys are kind of going back and forth because he's
Speaker 1: a Michigan guy and you're a Yukon guy for the
Speaker 1: national championship. Uh. Kind kind of a fun ride for
Speaker 1: both teams this season. I didn't realize. So, so, you're
Speaker 1: in California, but you love the Dolphins and you love
Speaker 1: Yukon basketball as well.
Speaker 4: Well I was born in Connecticut, so well, yeah, Shawn's
Speaker 4: Michigan team was just a little bit better than Yukon
Speaker 4: and they had a good, good run, but we felt
Speaker 4: a little bit short.
Speaker 1: It happens, and the great thing about it is that
Speaker 1: team is so good they're going to be loaded for
Speaker 1: Bear next year as well. The so so a couple
Speaker 1: of things to lead things off before we get to
Speaker 1: the fantasy football portion.
Speaker 3: Tom.
Speaker 1: Number one, When you're not winning all these leagues and
Speaker 1: drafting all these teams, what are you doing for a living?
Speaker 3: Sirt?
Speaker 4: I actually work at a hospital slash skilled nursing home
Speaker 4: for San Diego County.
Speaker 1: And we're the people balk yes, yes, yes. And the
Speaker 1: other thing I have to ask you. You and I
Speaker 1: shared a cab or an uber, I should say, leaving
Speaker 1: Louisville last August to go to the airport after a
Speaker 1: draft camp to see and one of the commerce there,
Speaker 1: the dominant portionately. I shouldn't say the dominant. But one
Speaker 1: of the things we talked about a lot was this
Speaker 1: upcoming surgery you were going to be having. How is
Speaker 1: the surgery going.
Speaker 4: I had surgery back in September. I had a torn
Speaker 4: rotator cuff and a torn biceps. So I had that
Speaker 4: surgery shortly after coming back from Kentucky and was out
Speaker 4: for six months, and I just I think it was
Speaker 4: the first part of March I returned to work. So yeah,
Speaker 4: it was a pretty pretty significant surgery I had.
Speaker 3: And we were very impressive. While you were in Kentucky,
Speaker 3: Tommy were playing injury. You know. I pointed that out everywhere.
Speaker 3: I said, Tom tom Smith is playing injured, but he's
Speaker 3: hanging in there and he's drafting fantastically, and it is
Speaker 3: you know you're gonna draft if you're anything like me,
Speaker 3: You're gonna draft Jared Golf. And he's got a new
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator that that has been a bit polarizing from
Speaker 3: time to time. Dan Campbell will no longer be calling
Speaker 3: the play. Is Drew Petsing takes over. I have long
Speaker 3: stated on the show that you can't go wrong. You
Speaker 3: can't go wrong with Jared Goff when he's playing at home,
Speaker 3: that's your quarterback. You know, it's it's hard to be
Speaker 3: the guy like that. Do you think that that that
Speaker 3: will continue to be a mantra that I can sell
Speaker 3: to fantasy players? And you know, you do you feel that.
Speaker 3: I don't know how Golf's game can be improved, but
Speaker 3: I don't think he takes a step back with this OC.
Speaker 3: Have you got any insights on it you wish to share?
Speaker 4: Well, the only thing I know about the new OCS
Speaker 4: he came from Arizona. I think I have Golf in
Speaker 4: probably five or so leagues, but I'm pretty sure he's
Speaker 4: my backup, so I think he's probably a safe backup.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know if he would be
Speaker 4: a quality starter. I mean, like you said, at home,
Speaker 4: he's he's pretty darn good. So I don't really know
Speaker 4: too much about the the new offensive coordinator that they
Speaker 4: have other than he's from Arizona.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's see it.
Speaker 1: I will say this too, regarding Petsig, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people that were down on him. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: coming off the year in Arizona. There Brett Whitefield, who
Speaker 1: is a massive Detroit Lions fan. He is with data
Speaker 1: analysts or not a data analyst, film analyst for fantasy points.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any and and like I
Speaker 1: really respect what Brett says. I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: anybody higher on the Petsig higher for Detroit than he is.
Speaker 1: Like he is really in on the Lions this year
Speaker 1: with Petsig calling the plays, coming off the year with
Speaker 1: John Morton getting relieved of those duties halfway through the season,
Speaker 1: with Dan Campbell kind of taking over. He think Petsig.
Speaker 1: He thinks Petsig's gonna be great for Saint Brown, for Williams,
Speaker 1: for golf, for Gibbs, all those guys that are Laporta
Speaker 1: is another guy, So I'm with you, Tom. I don't
Speaker 1: know a ton about him, but I know smart people.
Speaker 1: At least one smart person is really thinking this is
Speaker 1: a home run higher for Detroit. And the other thing
Speaker 1: about Detroit this year they get the fourth place schedule
Speaker 1: in the NFC North after finishing last place last year.
Speaker 1: The Lions get a fourth place schedule this year. This
Speaker 1: could be great things for Detroit.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: And I thought, guys that really, if coach Campbell had
Speaker 3: to call plays again, he might be engaged professionally with
Speaker 3: Tom needing some care because I don't think he can
Speaker 3: through that season. He was going to be in some
Speaker 3: bad shape. Man just was not for him.
Speaker 1: Not, No, probably not Speaking of the Lions. Tom Tesla
Speaker 1: is probably a good late dart throw and drafts this
Speaker 1: year too, right.
Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely, I think I've drafted him several times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just look at it from the standpoint of
Speaker 1: like every other catch, it seems like with him as
Speaker 1: a touchdown and if if and at Ferrell, I mentioned
Speaker 1: this to you about a month or so ago. If
Speaker 1: Laporta is back, can't get right, I think it's just
Speaker 1: it's just easy to just put Tesla out there and
Speaker 1: a lot of three wide receiver sets. If saying God forbid,
Speaker 1: anything happens to Arsb or Jamison Williams Whiskey Bill, you
Speaker 1: have Tesla who can come in and play either of
Speaker 1: those positions. So yeah, I'm with Tom on this. I
Speaker 1: think as far as late round.
Speaker 4: Dark Tesla, he's probably going fairly late in drafts, isn't.
Speaker 1: He one hundred percent? Right now, I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: mojo on him in the in the f PC Big Gorilla,
Speaker 1: Tom Wide Receiver seventy at the seventeen oh one.
Speaker 3: Wow. So I mean, and guys, I didn't quite understand
Speaker 3: why when I was drafting my Dynasty drafts recently that
Speaker 3: he was, that he's available. He was, he was almost
Speaker 3: available in every Dynasty draft and you could get him
Speaker 3: late five, six, seven, and I did so, and I
Speaker 3: was just I was. I was thrilled and I would
Speaker 3: be equally thrilled to take him uh in main events
Speaker 3: this year. Yeah, that I'll take.
Speaker 4: Him unless Steve G takes him before me.
Speaker 3: Steve G is always going to be you know, everybody,
Speaker 3: it's like Steve G should come to the draft drafted
Speaker 3: as a pirate, any kind of pirate. He could be
Speaker 3: a seventeen hundreds pirate, he could be a modern day pirate.
Speaker 3: Everybody complains, yeah, he got all my players. Well, they
Speaker 3: weren't players because they were available. Now they're his players.
Speaker 3: They never were your players. You need your draft. That's
Speaker 3: whole another conversation.
Speaker 1: The conversation continues in the NFC North here, Tom, I
Speaker 1: think about the hot streak that Caleb Williams, Burden Colston
Speaker 1: Lovelin went on not only at the end of the
Speaker 1: regular season, but in the playoffs as well. This past campaign.
Speaker 1: When you look at Caleb Williams ADP, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you right now again that we're looking at O
Speaker 1: was on Baby Grilla. I'm gonna look up Big Gorilla
Speaker 1: right now. Sorry about that. I'm on Big Gorilla right now.
Speaker 1: If we look at quarterbacks in the Big Gorilla over
Speaker 1: the last week and a half, we see that Caleb
Speaker 1: Williams has ascended to QB seven. He has moved ahead
Speaker 1: of Prescott, He's moved ahead of Herbert, He's moved ahead
Speaker 1: of Dart, He's moved ahead of Lawrence, and he is
Speaker 1: breathing down the neck of Jalen Hurts, who has an
Speaker 1: ADP of nine oh one. Caleb Williams at the nine
Speaker 1: oh four right now, Tom, do you think that FFPC
Speaker 1: players are maybe going a little too hard on Caleb
Speaker 1: Williams right now? Should we be letting him lip a
Speaker 1: little bit further? Knowing that recency bias has plagued us
Speaker 1: as fantasy owners, basically going.
Speaker 4: In front of all those guys you just mentioned.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about them?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 4: I would probably take Prescott over Williams, but I mean,
Speaker 4: ninth round is I think pretty good value for him.
Speaker 1: I really do so you would still take Williams except
Speaker 1: for Prescott you said, I think that's what you said.
Speaker 4: Who do you see?
Speaker 1: So we had so these are the other guys. It's Trevor, Lawrence, Jackson, Dartrusin, Herbert,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, all all behind Tayler Williams right now, Man.
Speaker 4: That's that's close, real close. Maybe take Lawrence before him.
Speaker 3: And I will.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Prescott makes some sense too. Him. Where do you
Speaker 1: where do you land in on? I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: it's kind of moot because you can get Mahomes a
Speaker 1: couple of rounds later. But who do you think has
Speaker 1: the better season this year? Kayler Williams or Patrick Mahomes top.
Speaker 4: I think it all depends on mahomes health. I could
Speaker 4: see Williams having a better year than Mahomes.
Speaker 3: You know last year we did in our previous conversation,
Speaker 3: we see Rogers maybe having a better year than Mahomes,
Speaker 3: but I think Mahomes brings it. I hope Mahomes is
Speaker 3: in that roster in that line up on week one,
Speaker 3: you know, oh, when Sean Green points out Lawrence really
Speaker 3: came on late, and I mean we love the late
Speaker 3: closers from the previous season. We don't want to draft
Speaker 3: last year's team, but if we're going to, we're gonna
Speaker 3: look long and hard at last year. How they closed
Speaker 3: means a lot to me.
Speaker 4: I mean, Jackson Dart may not have neighbors to start
Speaker 4: the season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well, and if they do, according to Jackson Dart,
Speaker 3: they'll be playing neighbors at running back. Now, let's go
Speaker 3: dateline Chargers just up the road from you. Tom shed
Speaker 3: us a little light on this because I am high
Speaker 3: on this player. I like the long and lean, six
Speaker 3: foot two inch Trey Harris. I liked him when he
Speaker 3: played in college at Old Miss. I was thrilled to
Speaker 3: see that they drafted him, and he had a solid
Speaker 3: year last year. Thirty catches. Keenan Allen moves on, or
Speaker 3: so we think, which is the sub side of this question.
Speaker 3: Balkey is already registered Keenan Allen at SOD Security office.
Speaker 3: He thinks he's done. I, on the other hand, I
Speaker 3: think that Keenan Allen is going to service and maybe
Speaker 3: service with the Chargers. Your thoughts on Trey Harris take
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen out of the situation. They're six foot two
Speaker 3: veteran receiver who called eighty one balls last year. That's
Speaker 3: why I don't think he's finished the is in the offense?
Speaker 3: How do you see it? And give us some of
Speaker 3: that California insight on your on your chargers there.
Speaker 4: I kind of like him too.
Speaker 5: I don't what's the other what's his name?
Speaker 4: People overtaking him this year? I mean Johnson was up
Speaker 4: and down pretty much last year too. So I mean
Speaker 4: with McDaniels as their new OC, is he gonna throw
Speaker 4: the ball more?
Speaker 3: Mh? So he just came out there to torture you
Speaker 3: from you know, from your ex Dolphin.
Speaker 4: He's just after I mean, he's probably Harris is probably
Speaker 4: getting drafted twelve thirteenth round. I would think.
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's that high right now. Lower, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's lower.
Speaker 4: So if you could get him as your maybe fifth receiver,
Speaker 4: I think that would probably makes some sense.
Speaker 3: Do you like who you like better? Harris or Joneson?
Speaker 4: Well, since I've taken Harris a few times, probably Harris.
Speaker 3: They've made such value that in some early drafts I
Speaker 3: took them both.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Harris's wide receiver sixty eight in the big Gorilla
Speaker 1: right now in the sixteenth round. Wow, which is Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty late. It's it's after Boston and Bell
Speaker 1: the rookies, and then Travis Hunter. Then you see Trey
Speaker 1: Harris go and then ahead of free agents, Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel and then Trey Tucker of course going after
Speaker 1: him as well. Yeah, the dizzel pointing out right now,
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniels runs forty six percent of his offense with
Speaker 1: three wide receiver sets, which does help Lad McConkey quite
Speaker 1: a bit. So interesting, uh, to be pointing that out
Speaker 1: here when we consider the Chargers, and you know, I'll
Speaker 1: be honest with you, like, didn't didn't Johnston get his
Speaker 1: fifth year option declined? Or am I making that up
Speaker 1: in my head? I thought he got it declined by
Speaker 1: the Chargers, Pharaoh, I don't know, Okay, all.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, you'm back with the Chargers though.
Speaker 1: He what I'm sorry, Tom, go ahead.
Speaker 4: I think he's with the Chargers.
Speaker 1: Yes, he is, one hundred percent. I'm just wondering what
Speaker 1: how he features into their future plans.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I really don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't think maybe they don't know yet either.
Speaker 1: So so Harris versus Johnston is something that we'll try
Speaker 1: to get right throughout the season. Tom Smith on the
Speaker 1: Trey Harris side of that equation. I haven't made up
Speaker 1: my mind yet, but we'll see what happens. Hey, speaking
Speaker 1: of West Coast wide receivers that are somewhat polarizing, let's
Speaker 1: talk Rashid Shaheed here, Tom, a player that I think
Speaker 1: that we were all kind of excited to see what
Speaker 1: he was going to do after the Seahawks traded for
Speaker 1: him at the trade deadline in twenty twenty five, and
Speaker 1: then they go out and win the Super Bowl. But
Speaker 1: I think most people would say it wasn't because of Shahed.
Speaker 1: It was because of JSN, it was because of kW three,
Speaker 1: it was because of Sam Darnold. Like Shahed's the plays
Speaker 1: that he made were few and far between, especially for
Speaker 1: fantasy owners in the FFPC. And yet what did the
Speaker 1: Seahawks go out and do. They went out and extended him,
Speaker 1: They paid Shaheed. He's back with the team, maybe putting
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup to the wayside, maybe putting Tory Horton to
Speaker 1: the wayside, maybe putting over all the tight ends they
Speaker 1: have on that roster to the side as well. When
Speaker 1: you consider everything that's happened with Rashid Shahed over the
Speaker 1: last seven months. We'll say, with the Seahawks, what kind
Speaker 1: of a year are you expecting from Shahed in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six?
Speaker 4: He could be their number two what's the name? Cup
Speaker 4: didn't really do too well last year, so he could
Speaker 4: have a halfway decent season. I think maybe move into
Speaker 4: that number two role.
Speaker 3: He's a fantastic explosive ball player that a well balanced
Speaker 3: team doesn't have to employ that often. But I think
Speaker 3: he's also uh proven that he's improved as a route runner.
Speaker 3: I think he can be a more frequent contributor to
Speaker 3: the offense, but they might like teams might like his
Speaker 3: home run potential uh and, and they might like to
Speaker 3: play him that way. He's an intriguing player, and I
Speaker 3: think he's the best ball darling of the Seattle Seahawks
Speaker 3: and then the re Drafters. You're going to figure that out,
Speaker 3: you know, you're you're going to figure out no when
Speaker 3: to play.
Speaker 4: So I think he could possibly leave, maybe end up
Speaker 4: with that number two spot.
Speaker 3: Mm hm. You know, it doesn't matter in Baltimore who
Speaker 3: the number two running back is because Derrick Henry is
Speaker 3: the number one running back and I don't think he
Speaker 3: will ever, until he decides that he's had it with football.
Speaker 3: I don't think he will ever have much of a
Speaker 3: regression of talent or capabilities. He plays through nagging injuries,
Speaker 3: he seems to gain strength as the game continues. He
Speaker 3: pays more attention to his body and to his physical
Speaker 3: care than any player in the NFL and maybe history
Speaker 3: of the league. He just doesn't give it lip service.
Speaker 3: He really works it. So here we are again today
Speaker 3: is May twentieth. Is that right? Ballkey? Write it down?
Speaker 3: Should we be drafting Derrick Henry? Because are we concerned
Speaker 3: about his age and his workload and his history? I
Speaker 3: share the hell of not Tom, what about you? Nope,
Speaker 3: not one bit. Matter of fact, that he coach again
Speaker 3: this year it head coach leaves his team. And you
Speaker 3: know that's got to be the thing that he hates
Speaker 3: the most about leaving.
Speaker 4: Even though he doesn't catch a lot of passes. He
Speaker 4: just he's something else.
Speaker 1: He's an alien and and I think that's the best
Speaker 1: way to describe him. Because stuff that that should have
Speaker 1: shut him down, or uh, stuff that should have slowed
Speaker 1: him out down over the last few years, it just
Speaker 1: simply hasn't happened. We're not even talking about at least guys.
Speaker 1: I have not read anything or heard anything from any
Speaker 1: of the people I respect in the industry or FFPC
Speaker 1: players or what have you. I haven't heard anybody saying,
Speaker 1: you know what, the last the last part of last season,
Speaker 1: he seemed to slow down a little bit. Hey you
Speaker 1: started seeing like we've heard that argument with every year. Well, no,
Speaker 1: But my point is like, I don't know if I've
Speaker 1: ever heard that argument with Derek Henry. I don't know
Speaker 1: if anybody's ever said like, oh, I think he was
Speaker 1: slowing down last year. The question is always like is
Speaker 1: this going to be the coming year where he falls
Speaker 1: off the cliff?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: And I've heard the whole like like, I've heard it
Speaker 1: with Josh Jacobs, right, I've heard it with Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 1: I've heard it with DeVante Adams, all these aging all
Speaker 1: pro guys and granted out all those our running backs.
Speaker 1: But I've heard, you know, plenty of people say, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I started to see the beginning of the
Speaker 1: end last year. Nobody said that about Derrick Henry, So
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you still take him high as you have?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 1: Tom Derrick Henry right now running back thirteen at the
Speaker 1: three oh one. Seems like a good price to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he seems like he's made out of a different mold.
Speaker 1: Yeah, adam antium whatever they made Wolverine's whatever they coded
Speaker 1: wolverine skeleton with. I think that's what Dereck Henry's body actually.
Speaker 3: May Hey, you speaking of another Derek that we absolutely love,
Speaker 3: Derek Gurriers jomming in and if you roll back the
Speaker 3: his commentary about Seattle receiver as a spot on the
Speaker 3: player Horton Tory Horton thirteen catches last year, but five
Speaker 3: of them for touchdowns. You have to respect that displayer
Speaker 3: might be. And Bunkie, can you say anything about where
Speaker 3: he's being drafted if at all?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely can. If we And again the ADPM
Speaker 1: exciting time. You can go on Fantasy Mojo and sort
Speaker 1: by contest whatever you want. I always use the Big Gorilla.
Speaker 1: He's wide receiver seventy seven at the ATO one and
Speaker 1: not being drafted a whole lot of drafts. So this
Speaker 1: is a guy that sometimes goes undrafted, but he's a
Speaker 1: guy that you can always get late for sure. In
Speaker 1: regards to Wharton and oh, by the way, as long
Speaker 1: as you're talking about Derek Greer. We were talking about
Speaker 1: QJ earlier. Derek points out that the Chargers did indeed
Speaker 1: exercise the fifty year option of Quinton Johnston three weeks
Speaker 1: ago in late April. So good to know. On the
Speaker 1: Quentin Johnston tip. Okay, we talked Derek Henry Tom. Let's
Speaker 1: keep it on the running back tip, Ashton Genty. There
Speaker 1: are plenty of people, myself included, that are buying in
Speaker 1: to an Ashton Genty bounce back. And I say bounce back,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it in quotes because I think if
Speaker 1: you look at his stats last year, they weren't all
Speaker 1: that like when you consider everything going on with the
Speaker 1: Raiders and that offensive line and the team itself, Like
Speaker 1: the numbers that said themselves were not all that bad.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about catches, total yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, touchdowns,
Speaker 1: like everything, like it wasn't all that bad. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: maybe it's the jokes on us because we had too
Speaker 1: high of expectations for Genty this this past year. But
Speaker 1: now you look at him and and the best part about,
Speaker 1: you know, not failing to meet expectations is how good
Speaker 1: your ADP is going to be the following year. Now
Speaker 1: he has been rising. Tom He's running back five in
Speaker 1: the Big Gorilla. He's like, he's now going in the
Speaker 1: first round the end of the first round one to
Speaker 1: eleven on average. He is going right ahead as far
Speaker 1: as running backs go, James Cook, Devon ah Chan uh,
Speaker 1: and you have Genty going at the one to eleven
Speaker 1: right now, how much are you buying into a you
Speaker 1: know again, a quote unquote bounce back here for Genty
Speaker 1: and whether he's worth that late first round draft capital
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 4: I agree. I agree with you, Bulky. I think I
Speaker 4: think he's going to improve. It seems like the Raiders
Speaker 4: improve their offensive line a little bit. And I think
Speaker 4: one of your former guests said that he I could
Speaker 4: be wrong, but did he finish like tenth in points
Speaker 4: last years at running back something like that.
Speaker 3: He may have.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look that up right now.
Speaker 4: I think. So he's going at eleven. Huh, eleven, that's
Speaker 4: probably right around where Hampton's going too, So I that's
Speaker 4: probably about the right spot for him.
Speaker 1: Hampton's actually, for what it's worth time, Hampton's going is
Speaker 1: running back ten at the two to oh six, So
Speaker 1: he's later.
Speaker 4: Most most of my big gorilla drafts were earlier, So
Speaker 4: I think I think I got gent a lot like
Speaker 4: in the second round in those drafts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I.
Speaker 4: End of the first round is probably a fair price
Speaker 4: for him. I think right around what did you say,
Speaker 4: a chan and who else it was?
Speaker 1: James Cook?
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Really like Cook this year. So but yeah, I think
Speaker 4: I think he's at a fair price at the eleven spot.
Speaker 3: He said, I don't think you want to let that
Speaker 3: player slip very far. And here we are talking about
Speaker 3: the Raiders won three games last year Kirk Cousins at quarterback,
Speaker 3: but we want two of their players in the first round.
Speaker 3: So how interesting that could be? Hey, you know, talking
Speaker 3: about a player that's slipping maybe a little too far
Speaker 3: in drafts. I'm a big I really admire this. I
Speaker 3: really admire this player for a lot of reasons. As
Speaker 3: Chase Brown, Tom, what are you doing with Chase Brown?
Speaker 3: Say it again?
Speaker 4: I love Chase Brown.
Speaker 3: There you go me too.
Speaker 4: My two top running backs are Cooking and Brown, So
Speaker 4: I mean I I want to get as many shares
Speaker 4: of him as I can.
Speaker 1: Tom, what do you think it is like in regards
Speaker 1: to Chase Brown, he's running back eight at the twelve four,
Speaker 1: and I understand that significant draft capital. He's going ahead
Speaker 1: of Barkley, he's going at Hampton, he's going against ahead
Speaker 1: of Kenneth Walker. But when you consider that, all they
Speaker 1: have behind him on that roster is Samaj p Ryan
Speaker 1: and Taj Brooks. They did nothing in the draft, they
Speaker 1: did nothing in free agency, and now we're gonna get
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow for a full season. I mean uh. And
Speaker 1: if you say, okay, well, well the defense is a
Speaker 1: lot better this year, so they won't be having to
Speaker 1: get in all these shootouts. If that's the case, shouldn't
Speaker 1: that mean more running from Chase Brown? Shouldn't they be
Speaker 1: from Chase Brown? And yet drafting him at the two
Speaker 1: oh four, I guess I'm preaching to the converted here.
Speaker 1: You're taking him at that spot in big gorilla drafts, KFFSC,
Speaker 1: what have you. But maybe he should be even going
Speaker 1: higher than the two oh four right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Who did you say he was getting drafted next to?
Speaker 1: He is right ahead of Barkley, Hampton, and Walker. He
Speaker 1: is behind Cook an H.
Speaker 3: Chap.
Speaker 4: I like Barkley too, but I think I would take
Speaker 4: Chase Brown ahead of bark bark Yeah, I'm really high
Speaker 4: on Brown this year.
Speaker 1: I could I like it, like you know if I
Speaker 1: if I the drafts, I'll take Brown in twenty five
Speaker 1: and Barkley in twenty five. I don't feel strongly about either.
Speaker 1: I like him both this year as you do. And
Speaker 1: you know, I just look at it now. I love Hampton,
Speaker 1: who's going right now, Crown, and Barkley as well. So
Speaker 1: those three running backs. I do like all three of
Speaker 1: those guys better than Walker this year for sure. So
Speaker 1: there is a lot to love, especially if you are drafting,
Speaker 1: you know, in sort of like that one one nine
Speaker 1: spot in in the f FPC and and maybe you
Speaker 1: take a wide receiver there and you you lock up
Speaker 1: Saint Brown, or maybe Smith and Jigma falls to or
Speaker 1: maybe you want to go elite tight end and you
Speaker 1: take Bowers or whatever. There certainly to have that glut
Speaker 1: of running backs staring you in the face in the
Speaker 1: second round in Brown.
Speaker 4: Well, the way running backs are going in these early drafts,
Speaker 4: you want to probably get one stud running back in
Speaker 4: the first two rounds because people are just drafting them
Speaker 4: like crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the rise of the running back. This is
Speaker 1: two years in a row. Ye, running backs basically stayed
Speaker 1: healthy for the most part last season, and people are
Speaker 1: buying into it this year for sure. I want to
Speaker 1: get to a couple of emails here for you time.
Speaker 1: I know we're running out of time, but we got
Speaker 1: time to get to this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Eagleville, Pennsylvania. Tom Chad writes us from
Speaker 1: there and says, how high are you on Jake Tanjas
Speaker 1: this season? With George Kittle coming off of that Achilles injury?
Speaker 3: Thanks?
Speaker 1: Tom, That is Chad in Eagleville, Pennsylvania. Chad, we appreciate
Speaker 1: the email. Yeah, Tonjas is a player. Then I know
Speaker 1: if you are not a believer in a thirty plus
Speaker 1: year old tight end coming off a significant lower leg injury,
Speaker 1: you probably should be a fan of Jake Tonjas. How
Speaker 1: much of a fan are you, Tom Smith of Jake?
Speaker 4: Tom, I'm a fan of him, especially you could he's
Speaker 4: going late too, so you could get him as like
Speaker 4: your third tight end, So I mean, and he could.
Speaker 4: He's probably going to start the season, So I think
Speaker 4: I don't know what his stats were last year, but
Speaker 4: I think he had some decent games filling So.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thirty catches, five thirty plus catches, five touchdowns and
Speaker 3: good starts. You know he needs a California kid. Was
Speaker 3: a California Bear. Hails from our town, Tom and Balky
Speaker 3: hails from the same hometown as our beloved Drew Masseli
Speaker 3: Los Cetos, and I I think that's a very good
Speaker 3: draft plan to have if you can afford, if you're
Speaker 3: gonna have Kettle, or maybe even if you don't, is
Speaker 3: to have this player in waiting. Because I love Kettle
Speaker 3: as a player, but his his fantasy availability, it takes
Speaker 3: a hit in his draft position at Balky Kettle's Kettle's
Speaker 3: pretty deep in the draft order, is he not? Or
Speaker 3: am I wrong about that?
Speaker 1: Wellan just is tight end twenty eight at the fifteen
Speaker 1: to ten in the Big Gorilla right now. George Kittle
Speaker 1: is obviously as low as he's been in quite some
Speaker 1: time because of the injury, but he's tight AD nine
Speaker 1: at the seven h seven. Yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: if I want to be in business at that price.
Speaker 1: You know, consider this guy. When you look at Tonjas
Speaker 1: last season. I'm just going to roll these without context.
Speaker 1: I know there's probably multi layered stuff going on in this,
Speaker 1: but these are the facts. This is what he did
Speaker 1: last season. Toanj Just had games of seven caches for
Speaker 1: forty one yards and a touchdown against the Rams. He
Speaker 1: had six catches for fifty eight yards against the Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: He had seven catches for sixty yards and a touchdown
Speaker 1: against the Bears in the playoffs, in the wild card
Speaker 1: against the Against the Seahawks, he had five catches for
Speaker 1: fifty nine yards. Dude had five touchdowns last year too,
Speaker 1: which I know is not the stickiest stat but the
Speaker 1: fact that this guy put that up over the course
Speaker 1: of an entire season when Kittle was healthy for a
Speaker 1: lot of it, maybe even the majority of it, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think there's something here. And when when
Speaker 1: we're starving for tight ends in tight end premium leagues
Speaker 1: like the FIB, I think there's something to be said
Speaker 1: for Tom Just.
Speaker 4: It seems like Perty likes him. So, I mean, getting
Speaker 4: him in the fifteenth round, is that's it? That's a
Speaker 4: good pick the.
Speaker 1: Uh Yeah, and Sean Sean Green chiming in. I think
Speaker 1: Kittle starts on pup potentially.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We are in the season of positivity, so so when
Speaker 1: we when we consider everything that we're hearing right now.
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna come out and say, yeah, it's looking real
Speaker 1: bad for him. You know, we we don't know if
Speaker 1: he's coming back this year. You know, that's what we
Speaker 1: should be hearing about sharbon A. Nobody's saying that about
Speaker 1: Zach Sharboney. Nobody's talking about anything about Patty Mahomes unless
Speaker 1: it involves coming back. Week one. Everybody's talking about what
Speaker 1: a warrior George Kittle is and how special he is.
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about the positive stuff right now. So anytime
Speaker 1: you hear a negative right right now, it should it
Speaker 1: should be setting off alarm bells. Five about Malik Nighbors early,
Speaker 1: I think that's an alarm bell worthy news report that
Speaker 1: we're getting on him right now. But this other stuff,
Speaker 1: with all this super positive, I don't know how much
Speaker 1: we can take it to heart because I think everybody's
Speaker 1: going to be positive right now. They don't have they
Speaker 1: don't have to not be positive. You can say whatever
Speaker 1: the hell you want. You're not beholden to any injury
Speaker 1: or anything like that. So yeah, long story short, I'm
Speaker 1: with Tom on Tom just right now as a late
Speaker 1: round pick another email here, Chuck and Lawrence Kansas, Tom,
Speaker 1: what should I expect from Kenyan Sidiq in his rookie
Speaker 1: year in New York? Tom, I'll let you fire away
Speaker 1: on Sadiq, who was drafted by the Jets in the
Speaker 1: mid first round this year. I'm more excited about the
Speaker 1: Jets in twenty twenty seven. I think they still need
Speaker 1: a quarterback on that roster. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: have a good one yet, but we have to answer
Speaker 1: the question. Sadiq in his rookie year with Geno Smith
Speaker 1: throwing him the football.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Like I just don't get to watch
Speaker 4: a lot of college football with my work schedule, but
Speaker 4: I know he had a really good year. I don't
Speaker 4: know if that's the best landing spot for him. So
Speaker 4: I didn't they draft a tight end last year or too?
Speaker 1: Yep, Mason Taylor.
Speaker 4: So I know I have a few shares of him
Speaker 4: because of his talent, but I'm really not sure what
Speaker 4: to expect from him playing on the Jets.
Speaker 3: Tom, it was a collective grown when the Jets.
Speaker 1: Nobody like grown my goodness, and I hope he does well,
Speaker 1: but I just, I mean, so do the Jets.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I.
Speaker 3: Tom, Balky's running the positive and we we love your positivity.
Speaker 3: I want you to bring that good San Diego sunshine
Speaker 3: positivity and tell me one player that you got to
Speaker 3: have on your roster, and then I want you to
Speaker 3: turn a little dark, kind of like when you're in
Speaker 3: Kentucky on Sunday and you've got a flight to make
Speaker 3: and I won't find you a ride to the airport.
Speaker 3: You know, he's just a little dark, and you know,
Speaker 3: telling somebody you're not gonna have not anything to do
Speaker 3: with the first question.
Speaker 4: I want sat Brown on all my teams. I'm a
Speaker 4: huge fan of him, and I think he's he's going
Speaker 4: to have another uh tremendous here. And another player that
Speaker 4: I liked that you could get a little bit later
Speaker 4: as a Terry McLaurin. But the players that I don't
Speaker 4: want on my team, and he's going probably tenth round
Speaker 4: or so Xavier Worthy, I just I just can't.
Speaker 3: You just can't get there, you know.
Speaker 4: And another player I don't know if I'm not that
Speaker 4: high on, he's getting drafted a little sooner. I'm not
Speaker 4: that big of a fan of RJ.
Speaker 3: Harvey mm.
Speaker 4: But set Brown I want on all my teams, and
Speaker 4: he's usually going at the towards the end of the
Speaker 4: first round. Player I don't really want on any teams
Speaker 4: is worthy.
Speaker 3: Now if you go, if you go out and get
Speaker 3: to that Saint Brown on all your teams, you're out
Speaker 3: of the buyers business. You know. After tonight's show, we think, yeah,
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 4: In the f f PC it's tight end premium, but
Speaker 4: I'm okay with that. I'll just take tong just in
Speaker 4: the fifteenth round.
Speaker 1: Ere you, Brian on the YouTube chat right now, Tommy
Speaker 1: threw t higgins name out there. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you have a strong I.
Speaker 4: Like T Higgins, Yeah, I mean, uh with a burrow
Speaker 4: throwing it and I mean he just needs to stay healthy,
Speaker 4: But yeah, I like T Higgins's.
Speaker 3: Hard not to you know, well, we just want want
Speaker 3: to keep the Tongus love going with Bulk, you know,
Speaker 3: as we are staying positive. You know, I want to
Speaker 3: ask everybody, especially with receivers Fantasy football this year, draft
Speaker 3: picks late uh in the NFL draft could have significant
Speaker 3: careers and make huge, huge contributions. But the there is
Speaker 3: so much out of them. Mean, you know, you know,
Speaker 3: take Tongus. There's an undrafted free agent who was cut
Speaker 3: by the Bears. I don't I don't know what the
Speaker 3: league was thinking about this player. You know, there's there's
Speaker 3: a lot of talent out there that's available, and uh yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you don't want to have a
Speaker 3: redraft team full of rookies, but it gets it gets tempting.
Speaker 3: But when you get down into those high double dig rounds.
Speaker 1: Higgins has never played seventeen games in his NFL career,
Speaker 1: which I you know, and and I think people look
Speaker 1: at that as a negative, and you know, quite frankly,
Speaker 1: maybe they should. But when you could or how well
Speaker 1: he has done and the numbers he's put up never
Speaker 1: playing a full season, maybe there is something to be
Speaker 1: said about T Higgins on this Bengals offense upside through
Speaker 1: the roof this year, and he is wide receiver eighteen.
Speaker 1: He's a mid fourth round pick Errett Wilson and Mecca
Speaker 1: at Buka Ze Flowers territory. You're not having to take
Speaker 1: him at you know, like the two or three turn
Speaker 1: or something like that, or or you know, he's not
Speaker 1: being overdrafted and he's gonna catch all those guys going
Speaker 1: around him. Yeah, exactly, And when you consider like, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe he misses a couple of games, wouldn't you still
Speaker 1: want to have that player on your roster for when
Speaker 1: he's healthy? And I bring this back to the whole
Speaker 1: Ben Gretch thing that I've echoed on this show and
Speaker 1: other shows over the course of the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: We need to stop asking ourselves the question what happens
Speaker 1: if this player gets hurt? We need to start asking
Speaker 1: ourselves the question what happens if this player does not
Speaker 1: yet hurt? Yes, exactly, it's healthy. My god, you know,
Speaker 1: hide the women and children, because it's gonna be.
Speaker 4: Good with a healthy With a healthy Burrow, I mean, yes,
Speaker 4: they could put up a lot of points.
Speaker 1: The worst part of the Bengals offseason tom for me
Speaker 1: was them seeing ad Dexter Lawrence and boy Mafe and
Speaker 1: the safety Brian Cook. And they added another difference maker
Speaker 1: too in in that in that front seven. I can't
Speaker 1: remember who it was, but like, I'm like, no, don't
Speaker 1: let this Bengals defense get good. I need I need
Speaker 1: them to still give up thirty do you know what
Speaker 1: all to his arm falls off? That's what I want.
Speaker 4: The Bengals improved their offensive line at all.
Speaker 1: I think they did. I'm gonna look this up right now,
Speaker 1: but I thought they did both in in free agency
Speaker 1: and the draft. I know they've tried to do this
Speaker 1: before and they haven't pulled it off. They added Connor
Speaker 1: lou a center from Auburn, in the fourth round. They
Speaker 1: added the versatile Brian Parker, the second and offensive tackle
Speaker 1: but could play up and down the line if he's
Speaker 1: got a dude. They added him in the sixth round.
Speaker 1: So and I have to look up free agency, but
Speaker 1: I know that they did attack the offensive line in
Speaker 1: the draft, granted on Day three, but I think both
Speaker 1: those prospects are something that we need.
Speaker 4: That's then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always good news. We get a chance to
Speaker 1: talk to our friend Tom Smith, connect with him on
Speaker 1: the X at Finns Fan thirteen. A guy who won
Speaker 1: seventy five kN RT and oh, by the way, a
Speaker 1: few years before that one another ten K. He's already
Speaker 1: got three FFPC titles to his name, numerous KFFFC titles
Speaker 1: to his name as well. A guy I love drafting
Speaker 1: against and with in Kentucky. And Tom, I look forward
Speaker 1: to seeing you again in Louisville. Come come August and
Speaker 1: we'll catch up then. Thank you so much for hopping
