Our guest for 25 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:28.760 you this week is a man that I had the 26 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.560 pleasure of spending a little bit of face to face 27 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.400 time with this past weekend, Michael f Florio from the 28 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:39.519 NFL Network Fantasy Analyst NFL Analysts. He's got his fingers 29 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:41.879 in a lot of different pies here with Sirius XM 30 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.480 Fantasy and the Sick podcast covering the Buffalo Bills. We'll 31 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.640 get a chance to talk with him about the bills today. 32 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.640 But welcome to the show. Thank you so much for 33 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:52.640 making time for us. 34 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.200 Oh, thank you for having me Drew. 35 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.159 And yeah, I got to spend a lot some face 36 00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.239 time with you, but not as much as I you know, 37 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.359 I could always use more time with Drews, So. 38 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.159 I know, man, I felt like we were kind of 39 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.400 like in each other's orbit the whole weekend, but like 40 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.280 not a lot of like actual time together, which you know, 41 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.000 that's how it goes. It feels like you're at a wedding, 42 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:10.360 you know. 43 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.439 Yeah, exactly, every time you turn around, you're having a 44 00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:14.280 new conversation. 45 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.960 So yeah, it's fun, it's great. But I left and 46 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:19.039 I was like, oh, I didn't get to hang out 47 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:19.400 with you as. 48 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:21.479 Much as I wanted, I know, and I looked for 49 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.800 you guys the last night, and then I was bothering 50 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.159 you and Marcus when you were on the air on 51 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.039 Sunday because I just like wanted to talk to you guys. 52 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.400 I'd barely hung out with you guys. But my favorite 53 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.039 was Marcus telling us one night he was going to 54 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.719 bed by just texting me and you saying it's a rap, 55 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.439 Like it was no explanation, no I'm out of here, 56 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.520 no I'll catch up with you tomorrow. Just it's a rap. 57 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.039 And then that was the end for Marcus. But had 58 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:44.199 a great time seeing you man. 59 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:44.639 Oh. 60 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.439 Likewise, so thank you for Green to come on the show. 61 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.840 We got a ton of news to get to because 62 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.000 it's the best time of year where we actually get 63 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.599 to talk about football without like speculating about what might 64 00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.039 happen because we're in training camps, so that's super exciting. 65 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:03.840 And I put together like a camp highlight kind of 66 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.919 show sheet today what are the narratives that we're hearing 67 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.240 And I want to let you unpack some of this 68 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.680 stuff and see what your opinions are on the narratives 69 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.719 that are developing, because there are some that are really 70 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.039 starting to get a runaway train here, and I want 71 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.080 to see whether we need to stop that or whether 72 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.199 you're in on the narrative. So yeah, the first one 73 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.520 I want to talk about is the two most important 74 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.120 guys in fantasy football this year, Jamior Gibbs and Bjeon Robinson. 75 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.199 They're doing what we call the hold in now. They're 76 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.919 not actually staying away, but they're not practicing because ostensibly 77 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.639 they both want new contracts. Is that in fact what's 78 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.039 going on? And do we need to be concerned about 79 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:42.719 these two guys? 80 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:44.400 I don't think so at all. 81 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:49.159 Look, it's there's still a very long runway for these 82 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.240 guys to get signed. I guess I would if you 83 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.319 ask me which one is a little bit more concerning, 84 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.039 I guess it's Bijon because new play caller, new OC 85 00:03:58.400 --> 00:03:59.000 like a lot. 86 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.639 Of change there this year. 87 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.479 So the more time away from the team, the less 88 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.759 optimal that is. But I think both of these teams 89 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.680 know how good those two are. I think they know 90 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.599 their offense is going to go. Look, they have a 91 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.319 lot of other talented pieces around them, but they're going 92 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.040 the running game and a large portion of the offense 93 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.399 is gonna go as far as you as these guys 94 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.800 can take you. And maybe if like the Lions didn't 95 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.319 trade David Montgomery, you'd be a little bit more concerned 96 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.160 about Gibbs. But I think both of these guys get paid. 97 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.199 I think it's really cool that they're kind of doing 98 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.519 this together. They came into the league together, they're taken 99 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.560 over together. Now they're advancing the position and the pay 100 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.399 rate at the position together. I still think they're picks 101 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.680 one and two as of now. Now, look, if maybe 102 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.720 you want to pivot and take a Chase or a Puka, 103 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.079 I wouldn't, but I'm not. 104 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.079 Gonna tell you that's a bad decision. 105 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.560 But I'm not letting this hold in right now, five 106 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.639 weeks out from Week one, determining from what I think 107 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:58.839 are the two best players in fantasy football. 108 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:00.519 Yeah, I think I'm with you there. 109 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.399 It's a little bit funny that we heard zero of 110 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.399 this and we've all just been on the Gibbs Vijon 111 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.519 like no doubt or train to this point, and then 112 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.480 all of a sudden, training camp starts and they're they're 113 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.040 both like, yeah, we're not practicing. It is kind of 114 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.160 amusing because we do this for a job that can 115 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.399 also be seen with other descriptors there for us best 116 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.959 ball drafters. But hey, let's talk about another situation that 117 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.480 just kind of I feel like Ron Burgundy that escalated quickly. 118 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.879 We've got Ricky piersall out in San Francisco looking like 119 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:35.800 he's going to be shut down for the season. So 120 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.480 number one, is he even draftable at all? 121 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:38.879 Right now? 122 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.519 I'm hearing that he's just going undrafted in some FFPC 123 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:43.800 leagues because people think he's done. 124 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:44.000 It. 125 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.759 Sure looks like that's happening. But then they go out 126 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.519 and they sign Deebo Samuel off the street for a 127 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.279 reunion there in San Francisco. What do we think about 128 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.560 this entire situation? And are you chasing any of the 129 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.160 wide receivers in San Francisco right now with these developments? 130 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.399 Like, I get it if you want to throw a 131 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.839 later around dart throw on these guys. But I'm okay 132 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.879 with Mike Evans where he's going. But he is not 133 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.920 someone that I have typically drafted a bunch of yet 134 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.199 in my best balls and the few redrafts that I've 135 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:20.079 done already. Because while I like Mike Evans, there's tense, like, 136 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.399 like I like Terry McLaurin, Lad mcconkee, DJ Moore, a 137 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.839 whole lot more, and they go in the same range, 138 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.199 so I'm typically ending up with other names there. 139 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:33.279 I did see. I know Scott Barrett tweeted this out. 140 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.079 I forget who he was quoting, but he said, like 141 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.959 someone said, whatever happens with Mike Evans at the end 142 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.680 of the year, it's gonna be very obvious. Either he's 143 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.959 gonna miss a bunch of time due to injury, or 144 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.279 he's gonna score like thirteen touchdowns to be the Devonte 145 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.959 Adams And either way, yeah, I think that is exactly 146 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.600 how it's gonna go. In the King's Classic auction the 147 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.040 other day, I threw a one dollar bid on Christian Kirk. 148 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.600 I do think Kirk is someone that in a pinch, 149 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.720 you could throw in, and I think he's a better 150 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.839 real life asset than fantasy asset. 151 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.839 But while he's out there, I do think Kirk is 152 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:07.680 a little underrated. 153 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.120 Like the last we saw of him, he was going 154 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.480 off for the Texans in the playoffs, So I know 155 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.040 everyone really also likes Stribling right now, like he's the 156 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.279 big hype this week, And I tweeted jokingly when they 157 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.399 signed Deebo, I was like, well, this stripling season was 158 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.000 fun while it lasted, and I had a lot of 159 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:27.040 people being like, no, look at who they have. He's 160 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.800 going to get playing time. I don't disagree because they're 161 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.839 all aging Deebo, Evans, Christian Kirk. They have the power 162 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.360 plan if you believe in that stuff and all of that. 163 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.680 But my pushback is, I don't think this Debo signing 164 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.759 is nothing. Man, if Deebo signed with another team, maybe 165 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.560 you could then say it's nothing. But this isn't another team. 166 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.120 This is the team where Deebo Samuel made his name 167 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:58.519 and got paid and put up monstrous numbers. And the 168 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.319 thing that I think, and I don't think it's exclusive 169 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.279 to fantasy football. I think, as someone who does a 170 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:06.000 lot of fantasy baseball stuff, I think we make a 171 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.480 big mistake two mistakes. One, I think we think we 172 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.879 know how a situation is going to play out better 173 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.399 than we do. But two, I think we think that 174 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.120 like the way that we view it is the way 175 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.839 coaches view it. I guarantee you Kyle Shanahan is not 176 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.839 sitting here thinking, well, Deebo Samuels is old and is 177 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.759 heading towards that age, Cliff, I gotta get the young kid. 178 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.480 That's what us fantasy analysts want. But Kyle Shanahan is thinking, 179 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.159 I can trust this guy. I've built systems around this guy. 180 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.240 He knows where he has to be when he has 181 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.279 to be. He knows my system inside and out. So 182 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:44.240 my thinking if healthy, it's a big if. But if 183 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.919 that trio of forty nine ers wide receivers are healthy, 184 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.919 I think those are the top three wide receivers in 185 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.960 week one and so on. I do think Stripling will 186 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.000 get an opportunity because I don't think these guys stay 187 00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:55.879 healthy all year. 188 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.279 But to me, and look, he's a later on dart throw. 189 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:00.919 If you want to throw that dart, I have no 190 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:01.759 problem with it. 191 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.799 But if he keeps getting hyped up, I will eventually 192 00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.039 be out because Drew. I think this is gonna be 193 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.000 one of those situations where if those three are healthy 194 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.960 week one, Obviously, if a camp injury happens, that changes everything. 195 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.159 But if they're healthy, I think. 196 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.919 The person that drafts Dribbling will not be the one 197 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:22.039 that gets the eventual breakout if it occurs, because if 198 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.879 we go two three weeks where he's playing behind those 199 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.639 other three wide receivers, the person. 200 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.159 That drafted him is gonna end up throwing him back 201 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:28.840 on the way wire. 202 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:32.240 Yeah, that's the main problem with these kind of players, 203 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.399 and especially with this class. There's not a Justin Jefferson 204 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.440 or Jamar Chase in this class. There's a bunch of 205 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.279 guys who may earn the time, but don't look like 206 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.360 they're going to come out of the blocks with a 207 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:47.360 solid route or snapshare. I don't see many of them 208 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:50.039 at all. So that's a great point. A lot of 209 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.200 logic in this conversation here that I love. One of 210 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.399 the comments you made about Mike Evans is it's interesting 211 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.399 to me where Evans is going because his ADP shows 212 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:01.879 that I should be able to get him at a 213 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.519 reasonable spot, and he never seems to be there. So 214 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.440 I always wonder like, where's this ADP coming from? Because 215 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.159 somebody is always more interested in him than I am, 216 00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:14.240 and I feel like where he's being drafted, the risk 217 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:19.679 of his recent injury problems is not being baked in 218 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:23.320 because somebody's excited about him being with Shanahan and all 219 00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:27.679 the touchdown possibility. So okay, well, I can talk about 220 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:29.639 the forty nine ers forever There are a lot of 221 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.559 parts of this and you hit on most of them 222 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.960 there so or if not all of them, And we 223 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.519 could dive really deep into that, but I want to 224 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.440 continue moving here with some of the big camp talking points, 225 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.360 and one of them's Molik neighbors. This is an interesting 226 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.080 one because I've been leading the charge on do not 227 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:51.200 draft Melak neighbors. This is a complicated recovery situation. I 228 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.279 saw him limping around to that softball game. I'm like, 229 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.080 how is this guy going to play NFL football in 230 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:55.639 three months? 231 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:56.240 Well? 232 00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:00.919 Here we are watching clips of him running routes, sticking 233 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.519 that foot in the ground and planting and cutting. Are 234 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.519 we feeling better today or is that sort of like 235 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.000 one of those things that we just need to kind 236 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.600 of turn our brain off and ignore because we know 237 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.720 timelines and timelines are rarely wrong when it comes to 238 00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:15.559 these type of recoveries. What do you think about neighbors 239 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:17.039 and how are you treating him? 240 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:21.200 Ah, this is one that is and I said this 241 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.759 back in like January February. Neighbors is going to be 242 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.960 the hardest one for me because on one hand, I 243 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.240 agree with everything you said, right, and it's something I'm 244 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.519 trying to get better at is not assuming the best 245 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:35.279 case scenario. 246 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.000 When we're talking about hell especially. 247 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.639 I know there's outliers to every rule, but more often 248 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.120 than not, that first year back from a severe injury 249 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.360 is not optimal. Right Like the players working in the 250 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.360 way back, they might not be ready. 251 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:51.039 Week one, you know. 252 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.960 So I get that line of thinking, and my thinking 253 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:58.600 was be disciplined, Let someone else have neighbors and you 254 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.879 get him next year. But drewlik Nighbors. 255 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.120 You know, we all have our guys. 256 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.919 Milik Neighbors is like my guy, and I know I'm 257 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.679 not the only one who likes Melik Neighbors. But when 258 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.120 he was a prospect, I was like, he's better than 259 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:12.200 Marvin Harrison Junior. 260 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.480 Like I think he is amazing. 261 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.200 And then people were fading him a bit because of 262 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:18.320 his quarterback in year one. 263 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.120 I was like, no, I'm taking him on as many 264 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:21.960 teams as I could get him. Year two. 265 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.879 I was saying last year, Drew that I think at 266 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.279 the end of the year, we're gonna be talking about 267 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.879 Neighbors the way we talk about Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson. 268 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.559 I think he is that good. But I was really 269 00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.759 fearful like you with all of these reports. 270 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:39.159 For so long, we're negative, right, and he had to 271 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.320 have a second procedure and all this stuff. But now 272 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.879 the fact that he avoided the pup, he's out there. 273 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.759 It looks plausible he could be there for Week one. 274 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.000 I've already bumped him a good bit. Now he's more 275 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.120 in the teens. I had him outside the top twenty 276 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.879 wide receivers initially. 277 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:57.159 Now he's in the teens. 278 00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.639 And I won't lie if he looks good in preseason, 279 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:01.360 I'm going to continue to bump him up and up 280 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.600 and up. Partly because I'm a sucker from the league neighbors, 281 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:09.200 but also partly because I am a big believer and 282 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.159 this kind of goes against a little bit what I 283 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:14.279 was saying with you know, the coming back from injury 284 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.559 might not be the same right away. I'm a big 285 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.600 believer that earlier in the year, you're just trying to 286 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:21.759 stay in contention and stuff like that. 287 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.159 Right Like, like, obviously you always want to win. You 288 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.000 don't want to be two and two, you'd rather be four. 289 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.879 No, I get that, But I want my team playing 290 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:30.720 its best at the end of the year, not at 291 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.200 the beginning. The games at the end of the year 292 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.440 is simply matter more. You could lose any regular season 293 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:38.039 game and you're fine. You lose a playoffs and your 294 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.080 season is over. So you want your lineup at its 295 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:44.879 absolute best weeks fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen in my thinking. 296 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.360 So because of that, I could be in very much 297 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.279 see myself in on Neighbors and where he's going right now, Drew, 298 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.919 I am going to be trying to get a lot 299 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.159 more because, like I said, I wasn't super in on 300 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:02.440 him early this summer, but I've already seen people say 301 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.120 they think he's going to be going in the early 302 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.799 second round come Labor Day, and if that is the case, 303 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.480 it becomes a. 304 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.399 Lot harder to hit drafts. So what I'm trying to 305 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.759 do in my early draft is get him so that. 306 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.440 I don't have to pay full price in my drafts 307 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.279 that are like Labor Day weekend stuff like that. 308 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:20.559 Yeah, I can't imagine walking into a home league and 309 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.000 not seeing him go for in the second round. If 310 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.559 this continues now, who knows. We still haven't even heard 311 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.759 today if we've got swelling, or if he's taking the 312 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:30.879 day off or he's doing it every other day. Thing 313 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.639 there's still a lot of information that we can gather, 314 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.559 and look, the time is on our side right now, 315 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:38.360 because we do, like you said a little bit ago, 316 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.399 have five weeks to figure this out, and we're going 317 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.399 to know a lot more about him coming up. But 318 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.399 I think it's a really interesting conversation and I'm open 319 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.639 to being wrong on this whole thing. But man, oh man, 320 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.159 these kind of injuries, boy, they rarely end well. But 321 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:55.320 you know, with elite guys, sometimes they do elite things. 322 00:14:55.519 --> 00:15:00.480 So all right, let's move on to the Cardinals situation. Yeah. 323 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.360 Well, you know, Adrian Peterson pops into my head every 324 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.840 time I think about this because I faded him fully 325 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.039 that year. I was drafting Toby Gearhart like a chump. 326 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:09.320 And yeah, here we are. 327 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.720 I haven't heard the name Toby Gerhart in a while. 328 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.039 Who has right him? And orlandis Gary hanging out? 329 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:24.159 Okay, I got problems, man, All right, So let's talk 330 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:29.080 about the Cardinals wide receivers. We continue to see that 331 00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:31.960 the Marvin Harrison thing. It's a litmus test really for 332 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.080 how you feel about fantasy football and how you do 333 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.200 these kind of things, because you can see a lot 334 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.200 of footage of him dropping passes. But then you can 335 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.519 also see a lot of footage of him, you know, 336 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.639 going deep and get the getting the touchdown against air 337 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.440 or whatever. But I tell you what, I just got 338 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.080 to be completely honest. I can't draft either one of them. 339 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:51.559 I haven't. 340 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.080 But if you put Michael Wilson on the screen and 341 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:58.240 then you put Marvin Harrison on the screen, Michael Wilson 342 00:15:58.279 --> 00:15:58.919 just looks better. 343 00:15:59.000 --> 00:15:59.200 Man. 344 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:02.080 I don't know, like that's a super unscientific thing. He 345 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.759 just looks better to me. Like it's just to me, 346 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.200 it's kind of wild like that I'm having this weird 347 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:12.399 realization as I'm watching these videos. But man, man, So anyway, 348 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.240 let's put that aside. What do you think about this situation? 349 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.679 Is Harrison's situation as bad as people are making it 350 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:18.080 out to be. 351 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.679 Uh, I've heard a lot of speculation that he doesn't 352 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.720 want to be there anymore and he's trying to He's 353 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:27.159 pulling at James Arden something like that, and uh, I 354 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:28.519 could see that potentially. 355 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.000 I'm not react. 356 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:34.320 I was gonna say, overreact. I'm not reacting to the camp. Okay, 357 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.279 he dropped the ball in camp. I don't care, you know, 358 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.279 Like what I care about is what Michael Wilson said 359 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.320 earlier this week, to me, mattered more than anything that 360 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.840 I've seen at camp where he was talking about how 361 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.879 last year. Because I tweeted out the this back in May, 362 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:53.559 I bumped it on my account this week if you want. 363 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:54.080 To go check it out. 364 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:59.559 But even after his huge breakout games, when Marvin Harrison played, 365 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.279 Michael Wilson reverted back. Maybe he was still better than 366 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.240 what he was prior to the breakout, but he was 367 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.519 not a must arte guy when Marv was out there. 368 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:13.839 The thing that he said though, was in Drew Petsing's offense, 369 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.920 he would play the Z and he'd play X when 370 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.400 Marv was out and the offense ran through the X 371 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:20.640 and that's why. 372 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:24.279 He got all that volume when he was out there. 373 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:30.200 So I originally was like, I think Marvin, so I 374 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:31.920 think both of them are kind of going at a 375 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:35.319 discount right now from what their upside is. Like, I 376 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.039 think Marv getting him outside the top thirty cheapest than 377 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:41.519 he's ever been. I'm not gonna have a ton of him. 378 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:43.279 I don't want to say like I'm enamored with him. 379 00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:46.119 He's one of my guys, but at that cost, I'll 380 00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.720 throw a dart or two, you know, And with Michael Wilson, 381 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:50.480 I'm gonna pat myself on the back here. 382 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.160 I did tweet this out this week. 383 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.599 I went back to my pre draft right up for him, 384 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:56.559 and I was like, this is my favorite guy to 385 00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.720 come out of nowhere in this class because he's uber talented. 386 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.119 Injuries or why he's going to fall in the draft 387 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:05.559 and injuries or why he's being not really looked at 388 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.640 as a top name. So I've always believed in the 389 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.400 talent of Michael Wilson, But the biggest thing giving me 390 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.039 pause with the Cardinals, it's why and look, I've Trey 391 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:16.920 McBride has been my Titan one in the last couple 392 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:17.400 of years. 393 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.680 I'm fading Trey McBride this year. I don't want to go. 394 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.400 I see the upside with Michael Wilson outside the top 395 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.559 forty wide receivers, But my biggest concern is at what 396 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.720 point are they gonna sit Jacoby Brissett and turn to 397 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:34.119 Carson Beck Because if and when that happens, these guys 398 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:35.240 are going to take a hit. 399 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:35.599 Now. 400 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:38.640 I understand the thinking they're underdogs, and I think they're 401 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.599
