Euro play, some euro soccer. You know, it's getting down to the
0:19
nitty gritty now spad in the championship. We're gonna see what happens with the
0:23
Netherlands and England tomorrow. But we're about to get into one of the most
0:28
glorious times of the year. And I'm not talking about Christmas time. I'm
0:32
talking about fantasy football, and that's what we're gonna get into today exactly.
0:35
We're gonna top ten rankings quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends.
0:39
We're gonna get that, get into that in a second, and I'm
0:42
excited. Man. Yes sir, yes, sir, let's go ahead and
0:45
get into it. But before we start, you guys can follow us on
0:49
Twitter at Flying Garcia one hundred and Underscore Alfonso zero three. Remember you could

find us under Twitch, YouTube or discord another so called sports Sander list.
1:00
Whether you're listening to this live or another day, we appreciate it and make
1:03
sure you share with share this to anybody that likes sports. And also one
1:07
more thing before we get into it, we have an announcement. Next week
1:12
we are going to be off. We have a very busy time, but
1:18
the very next week, the twenty third, we'll be back on our normal
1:22
schedule program. So make sure y'all be ready for the twenty third as well.
1:26
But vacation time, little vacation, just a little vacation time. It's
1:30
taking a little break from the second job. Taking a little break, but
1:34
second job that will soon be our main job. Trust exactly, exactly.
1:38
You just got to trust the process. Man. No, But all right,
1:42
yeah, let's let's go and get into it because I'm ready for this
1:45
fantasy football talk. But before, let's talk about this NBA Olympic team.
1:49
So, okay, this roster here, it consists of Kawhi Leonard, Jason
1:55
Tatum, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards, Tyre's
2:01
Halliburton, Devin Booker, Lebron James, Steph Curry, and Drew Holliday,
2:07
with the stack coaching staff of Steve Kerr obviously from the Warriors, Mark Few
2:13
again Zaga coach and then Tyron Lou and Eric Sposha. So my question for
2:19
you here, Josh, who's starting for this team? There's so much talent
2:23
on this damn team. Who's starting? Steph given? Okay, Lebron given?
2:30
This is where this is where we can mix and match certain things.
2:35
I think KD starts at the four, Okay. I think Kat starts at
2:38
the four, and we're gonna start Ad at the five. Okay, Okay,
2:43
I have Steph. I think I'll put Devin Booker at the two as
2:46
a starter. Okay, I'm gonna go Steph, Devin Booker, Lebron,
2:52
Kadi and Ady to start off the five, and then coming off the bench,
2:55
it'll be like the immediate switch to Anthony Edwards and Joel Embiid. And
3:00
I think there's no there's no wrong you can do with this team right now.
3:04
Yeah, there definitely is no wrong. And I'm gonna say this upfront.
3:08
I think this team clears any other team. This, This clears the
3:14
Redeemed team, This clears the Dream team. In my opinion, there's so
3:17
much talent on this team. I'm saying it. I'm coming out with hot
3:21
takes. Maybe it's the coffee. I don't care. I don't know.
3:29
Maybe it's the coffee, But I'm saying that upfront because you could argue all
3:35
of these guys had somewhat of a first team All NBA besides a Drew Holiday
3:40
and Kawhi besides injuries. You could say all of these guys for first All
3:45
NBA team calibers. But with my lineup, I'm gonna say Stepherson. Personally
3:52
me, I like Drew Holiday here for a more for a more defensive defense.
4:00
I'm not saying better player, no, no, for sure Drew.
4:03
Then I'd say Kawhi Lebron, and then I'd also go with Anthony Davis as
4:11
well. Hear me out though, with my with the I think Lebron runs
4:15
the point, Oh man, that would be so nasty because Stephen Devin Booker
4:21
run around m on off ball offense, create open three shots, creating opportunities
4:29
for Katie and a d in the paint air painted area mid Katie in the
4:32
mid range can bounce out to three. We know Katie's game, but Lebron
4:36
handling the point opens up the whole offense. That that would be nice.
4:43
That's something that I don't think it's gonna it's gonna have to happen. It's
4:46
gonna happen because because they're gonna play this French basketball team. Two no three
4:53
seconds, there's no three seconds. So you're gonna have to find a way
4:56
to peel Wimby and Rudy Gobert away from the painted area. And right now,
5:00
no team is scoring on French at this very moment in any of the
5:04
exhibition games consistently, So we're gonna have to. It's gonna be interesting to
5:09
see, for sure. I wonder how they're gonna run it. I also
5:12
wonder who is gonna start, because we just saw Cooper Flag take it to
5:15
this team the other day. So and we're about to play this tough exhibition
5:18
versus Canada. Who's roster is stack Oolan's stature, you know, So it's
5:24
almost not nowhere near the same. But they have talent everywhere. Look we're
5:28
talking about Nikle, Alexander Walker, RJ. Barrett, Luken, Dort,
5:31
Dylan Brooks, Shae. I'm not even gonna talk about Zach Edy because I
5:36
don't think he's Zach, you know. But but they have Shae and they
5:41
have Shaye and Jamal Murray's not playing on this roster. No Jamal Murray,
5:45
he's not playing. Dang. If they had Jamal Murray, that's would this
5:47
would be crazy. Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, no it it definitely
5:51
would be crazy. But also there's some rule changes compared to feb and the
6:00
NBA basketball So one of those things is obviously, like Josh mentioned, as
6:04
far as the three point or not the three point, the three seconds in
6:09
the lane that doesn't count, so you could have Winby and Rudy Gobert stand
6:13
in the paint. The three point line also is a little bit closer,
6:16
which what you were saying too, Josh, this could kind of favor team
6:20
USA was one of the greatest shooters, if not the greatest shooter of all
6:24
time. And then as far as goaltending too, I don't know if you
6:30
know this. So once the ball strikes a rim, any player can play
6:32
the ball. They could swipe it away, tap it away. There's no
6:36
such thing as a goal interference after that, so after the ball goes up,
6:41
so this definitely favors. This definitely favors a big man's game here.
6:46
It definitely favors the French basketball team. Yeah, no, yah know,
6:51
it doesn't I think, Okay, I want to talk about what Cooper Flag.
6:59
He did a little bit it all I'm gonna just say, is that
7:01
bulls. I know you're probably not listening to this. You need to be
7:05
listening to this. Damnit. Please tank for Cooper Flag, Please do damn
7:11
asking your team the tank is crazy. Hey, hey, we've been We've
7:16
been up and down lately. It's finally time for an official rebuilding. It
7:20
sounds like a guys whose teams haven't won since the nineties. You know,
7:24
I'm just saying, yeah, hey, actually the Atlanta Braves won in twenty
7:30
twenty two. Okay, you know what, let me put let me put
7:39
on my braves had damnit. I'm tired of war. This damn Cowboys had
7:46
damn damn. All right, So one last thing before we get onto this
7:59
next top pick right here, who's the biggest threat? I know you mentioned
8:03
Canada, I know you mentioned France. Those are probably the two teams that
8:07
are the biggest threat. But which one is the bigger threat? I think
8:11
I'm gonna have to go with the French basketball team. I'm not gonna do
8:13
that because I'm a wimby fan, like I genuinely on a French or France.
8:18
Winby jersey for the people, for the people listening and not looking at
8:22
it. I'm just saying, like when they play the US, I ain't
8:26
wearing this jersey, but every other game I'm wearing this jersey just the same
8:30
US. I want the US to win the goals. I'm from the United
8:31
States. But my boy Wimby in nineteen and a half minutes for this French
8:37
basketball team, twenty five and a half points, six rebounds, four assists,
8:41
three blocks. He held Turkey. And I get it's Turkey. But
8:46
no national team in minutes and nineteen minutes of play with one guy should be
8:52
held to one for twenty four. No national team should be held to one
8:58
to twenty four with one guy all the court. Let's just put that out
9:01
there. But not only that, they have they run. They run non
9:05
stop pick and rolls, and they're shooting over fifty five percent from the three
9:09
point line as a team. Yeah, and then if we're gonna and with
9:13
Wimby and Gobert on the court, they're both running a high pick and roll
9:16
screen with Victor Wimbanyama as the main ball handler. And you're gonna have to
9:20
pick and choose whether you follow Ruddy Gobert to the paint, or you follow
9:24
Wimby wherever he goes, and one of them is gonna get to their shot
9:28
no matter what, which is kind of scary in this moment, which I
9:31
think the US is the only team that can match them for sure, because
9:35
even if we're looking at the Canadian basketball team, they only have Kelley Olnik
9:39
and Zach Edy. Those are not Victor Wimbanyama, and that's not Rudy Gobert.
9:43
And I do think having Nicholas Batum, Frank Nilakuina, Nonde de Colo,
9:48
Evan Fournier, Having these veterans on this French national squad who have been
9:52
here time and time before for this team, having them around the young star
9:56
and Victor Wimbanyama, having them around the defensive, the defensive unit with him
10:01
and Gobert is going to do a lot to hope to in their case,
10:05
hopefully win gold away from the US, who are heavily favored. I just
10:11
think that in this situation, so I think Canada is going to be the
10:16
biggest threat because as far as France, they they have their own playing style
10:22
that everybody else is going to have to adapt to adapt to because of Winby
10:28
and Rudy Gobert. But I'm thinking as far as the strength for strength,
10:31
Canada's strength matches closest to Team usas because, like like you mentioned, with
10:39
all of these guys that they have, they have Shae lou Door, r
10:41
J. Barrett as well as somebody else, don't I don't know if you
10:45
mentioned him or not, but they have these wing players, which it seems
10:50
like Team USA. They're filled with wing players. And I would say,
10:56
as of right now, Shaye he is the best player out of the everybody,
11:01
well besides Giannest. But I don't think Greece really has a chance here.
11:05
So well, we'll see tomorrow. Though we'll see tomorrow. I think
11:09
they play at nine or ten o'clock in the afternoon, so I know it's
11:15
an exhibition game. I think Kevin Durant's not playing actually, I think there
11:20
he has like a calf strained quote unquote. But yeah, no, we'll
11:24
see. But okay, I'll say this because obviously I feel like we're gonna
11:31
pick first place or a team USA is getting first, who's gonna be the
11:35
team that comes up with second place? I'm gonna go with France to get
11:39
silver. Then I'll go Canada for third. Actually, well, the bracket
11:45
it's not set yet, right, if I'm not mistake, it's not set.
11:48
I don't know who's playing who what I can see French in the US
11:52
for sure championship. Greece they're making a run. Greece, they're making a
11:56
run. I'm just kidding. If they make a run, that'll be something
12:00
they have. So I can't even count it out. You're leaving out the
12:03
NASAs, Bro, My bad, My bad, My bad. Bro?
12:09
What's wrong with you? You're leaving out the best player. I don't think
12:11
the NASAs is playing. I think it's one of the other brothers. Oh
12:15
is that Alex this one? Yeah? I think it's Alex. Oh okay,
12:18
Oh okay. Oh. I don't know why I thought it was the
12:20
NASAs. No, but all enough, All right, let's get on to
12:24
some other NBA news here, which it includes both of our teams. Here,
12:28
which DeMar DeRozan is heading a Sacramento three years, seventy million dollar deal.
12:33
Harrison Barnes gets shipped to San Antonio, and the Bulls received christ Yarte
12:39
and two second round picks. So how are you feeling about this trade?
12:43
Overall, I I feel like for us, I'm gonna talk about us first,
12:50
Okay. Bringing in Harrison Barnes for sure, is telling me that we're
12:54
going for the playoffs this year. Like barn Un, we're setting a tone
12:58
to go for the playoffs, bringing in Chris Paul, bringing in Harrison Barnes,
13:01
some veterans who have been there before, Harrison Barnes being part of championship
13:05
squads, being in the playoffs the majority of his career, being a good
13:09
defensive player three point just a good player in the NBA. He's not a
13:13
great player, but he doesn't really move the needle a lot. But for
13:16
a team like the Spurs, he does move the needle because he brings that
13:18
presence, he brings the experience he adds to the defensive to the defensive unit.
13:24
I don't know if he's gonna start. I don't know if he's going
13:26
to be no way, I don't know. I don't know if he's gonna
13:33
start. Josh, my bad, Damien, your comment is crazy. Your
13:39
comment is crazy. All right, go on, Josh. I don't know
13:43
if Harrison Barnes is gonna start or if he's gonna come off with the second
13:46
unit, but it brings a lot of a lot more veteran leadership to this
13:52
team, and I do think adding him to the mix with Chris Paul it
13:54
could make for a good starting lineup. If we're gonna go with Chris Paul,
13:56
Devin Visell, Harrison Barnes at the four, and Winby at the five,
14:01
I think that's a good starting unit to have, and then fill in
14:03
the rest with Stefan Castle, Trey Jones, Julian Champagne, He's Zat Collins.
14:09
If they can step up into a little bit of bigger roles, it
14:11
could help this team out tremendously. As far as the Kings, though,
14:16
I think getting demart Rosen maybe the piece they need to kind of push them
14:20
a little bit more. For I do think having to rely solely sometimes on
14:24
Demontis Sabonis and the Aaron Fox, it's a little hurts the team quite a
14:30
bit sometimes because I get it. Malik Monk is also a great, a
14:33
great piece, but he can only do so much as compared to a veteran
14:37
who's been there, who's a star like Demart Erosian, who's one of the
14:41
best mid range shooters in the entire NBA, who can get to the rack
14:45
whenever he needs to. Doesn't help them defensively at all. I think this
14:48
kind of still leaves them where they're at. But offensively, I think it
14:52
as that that extra that extra threat that can take a lot of pressure off
14:58
the Aaron Fox and the Mantra Sabonis. Yeah. No, there was definitely
15:03
a bunch of pressure on Darren Fox last year as far as to get things
15:07
done late lay offensively. And DeMar DeRozan one thing coming from a Bulls fan,
15:11
He's a clutch scor. Whenever you need him to make a tough bucket,
15:15
he's gonna be there. As far as fit wise, I don't know
15:18
how that's gonna work because DeMar DeRozan he operates in the mid range, and
15:22
the Monta Sabonis he kind of operates there, So I don't know. It's
15:26
kind of a clunky fit. But I'll say this, if there just happens
15:31
to be an injury or a team loses who's not supposed to lose, they
15:35
can end up making a second round, the second round of the playoffs,
15:39
or maybe a conference finals. Sometimes it happens. So this definitely doesn't push
15:43
them to a championship. Contender threat. But I think this, Josh,
15:48
I don't think nobody or everybody doesn't have to be all in in the NBA.
15:52
Sometimes you're just a franchise that's just good enough just being a second round
15:58
exit. Speaking from a Cowboys fan, sometimes you're just good enough as being
16:03
a second round exit or not making the championship. You just need to be
16:07
successful. As far as I don't know how that feels as a Braves fan
16:12
either, I'm identified as a Braves fan this podcast. No, but we
16:22
need a blog gaming from the comments, yeah, I know. As far
16:26
as San Antonio side, I really like what they're doing as far as surrounding
16:30
Wimby with shooters, because they definitely did not have any shooters last year.
16:37
And I don't think that. I don't think that as far as they're trying
16:42
to go for a playoff push, but they're just trying to see the best
16:45
way to fit with Wimby. Is it catch and shoot players. Is it
16:49
somebody who can be a shot creator or runs the offense. You have Devin
16:55
Vassell who could be a shot creator, Chris Paul who could facilitate the offense.
17:00
We have a catch and shoot player. You're trying to see you're trying
17:02
to mix a match before Wimby really gets into his peak years what he really
17:07
needs around him. So and it's veteran leadership. Chris Paul, he's been
17:11
there, Harrison Barnes, He's won a championship. So I really like that
17:14
move. As far as with the Bulls, I'm not gonna lie. We
17:18
have not or we have been very poor as far as with their assets.
17:23
I think that was a list of over twelve players I can't list them off
17:27
the top of my head, and three unprotected first round picks. And the
17:33
only people that we've gotten back from it is Javonte Green, Josh Giddy,
17:38
Lonzo Ball, and Zach lavine On No Nikola Vusovich out of like twelve players
17:44
and three first round picks. So that's something that's that's very poor mismanagement.
17:49
But again I'm not worried about that Cooper Flag sweepstakes. Here we come.
17:53
But all right, last basketball topic here. So obviously somebody who is a
18:02
Tako town. As far as in the Summer League, it was Brownie James
18:06
and he had his debut, and his debut was four points, two for
18:10
nine from the field, zero for three, from the three point line two
18:14
rebounds to assist. So do you think people are overreacting or reacting just right
18:19
to this over I don't think. To be honest, I don't know.
18:26
I don't think summer league is a big gauge of where players we've seen freaking
18:30
what's his name from Memphis Kenny Lofton go crazy in the Summer League and not
18:37
do ship in the NBA. So they haven't done anything up to point in
18:40
the I'm just being honest. I don't know. It's just a good example
18:45
of someone who went crazy in the summer League and dude hasn't done anything,
18:49
you know, So I don't think it's a good gauge on to measure a
18:52
player as of right now. I mean, I don't have this problem Stephan
18:56
Castle's kind of going crazy, but I get it if you're a Laker fan
19:00
and you want to see Bronnie go crazy. So I can't say whether it's
19:04
hurting him or not. But I do think anything Bronnie does that's in the
19:07
negative is going to hurt him based off the where people want him to be,
19:11
even though they don't realize that he's a second round number fifty five overall
19:14
pick, and they expect him to put up uh wimby numbers. I don't
19:18
know coming straight up, but it's it's kind of unfair to gauge that for
19:22
him. But I just do think he's have a lot of time to grow.
19:26
I think Lebron kind of put it best. He is a guy that
19:30
doesn't really have to be here. My bad. I need to stop looking
19:36
at these cos I just how do we block? All right? Just turn
19:42
off the comments? Yeah no, all right. As far as as far
19:47
as with his debut, I agree with you. I think this is an
19:51
overreaction because again, majority of the guys in the summer league, they don't
19:57
translate. It doesn't mean, oh this guy I played good or played good
20:00
he's going to be a great NBA player or vice versa. So it's really
20:06
just if you get the opportunity to and make the it's one game. There
20:11
could have been pressure, it could have just been high stakes, and again
20:15
we're not really going to see until the first week of regular season basketball.
20:21
That's not what we're gonna see, or it could be something totally different.
20:26
But all right, let's get into some NFL here before we get into fantasy
20:29
football. So There's two things. This first thing is the is the Chicago
20:33
coach Matt ebra Fluse is a betting favorite to win Coach of the Year.
20:40
How are you feeling about that there, Josh, I mean, I guess
20:42
I don't know, Like, who would I have as the coach of the
20:47
year favorite? Right now? They're basically saying that the Chicago Bears, they're
20:49
gonna make this amazing jokes year. But if he's a betting favorite, could
20:56
they could make a playoffs? I think they could sneak in. Maybe I
21:00
don't think they. I think the I think I forgot who the Falcons head
21:03
coach was. I think that's gonna win coaching Raheem Morris. Raheem Morris is
21:07
gonna win Coach of the Year. That's who I think he's gonna win Coach
21:11
of the Year, or even uh what's his face? Matt Lafleur. I
21:15
think he has a better chance of winning. You know who I think is
21:18
gonna win it? Mike McCarthy. Oh no, I'm just kidding. No,
21:23
go to five three straight seasons and you want him to win Coach of
21:26
the Year. Bro, just win a Super Bowl? How about that?
21:29
Let's just do that. No, But let's talk about this Cowboys team a
21:33
little bit. Soka. This last this last topic right here, it includes
21:37
the Cowboys player with the name of Ceedee Lamb. And so he's been yeah,
21:44
Sadarius slam And there's been contract negotiations and he's been won in thirty two
21:49
million dollars a year, which is not the highest paid receiver or not the
21:53
lowest paid receiver so long. And there's been rumors. There's been rumors that
21:59
they haven't been offering that. So there's some buzz saying that CD Lamb may
22:04
request a trade. So my question to you is who would be the best
22:11
fit for Ceddie Lamb if he gets traded. You can answer for me,
22:18
the Cowboys, That's that's my damn answer. Kansas City Chiefs would be the
22:22
best fit for Sadarius Lamb. And it won't happen because we don't overpay for
22:27
players. We'll trade you before we overpay for you. But unless your names
22:33
are Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, or Chris Jones, you're not probably not
22:36
gonna get paid. Yeah. I think Tran McDuffie's in that category now,
22:38
I so, yeah, I think he is. But everyone else now you're
22:44
not getting paid. Brother, You're you're gone. You're gonna be gone.
22:47
But I think for him, if we're gonna put a team out there,
22:49
that may be the best fits. Ooh for Sdarius Lamb, that's kind of
22:55
hard to say. He's kind of a fit in anywhere he goes. Yeah,
22:57
he's just that do it all receiver. He he can take you,
23:00
he can take it. There my fault, I do you know what?
23:08
You know what? I'm done reading these comics, David. I'm done reading
23:14
these comments. I'm done. No, No, but no, I just
23:18
think, uh, he could fit in anywhere he goes. It's just a
23:22
matter how much you want to give up for him. You're gonna have to
23:23
give up either first rounder, a couple of first rounders. You have to
23:27
give us a second, a couple of second You're gonna have to get some
23:30
some picks, a lot of good picks because he's a good productive receiver in
23:34
this NFL. He's still very young, has had injury free seasons. So
23:38
and then plus you're gonna have to pay over You're gonna have to pay like
23:41
where he goes, he's gonna have to get paid. And I I just
23:45
don't see any team kind of doing that right now. The teams that I
23:48
think would maybe the Buffalo Bills, would be very interested in making that type
23:52
of move. After especially, I can see that not having a Stephan Dick,
23:56
still having Keon Coleman on a rookie contract, all that stuff, Curtis
24:00
Samuel kind of being the number one receiver right now, I think I can
24:03
see they'll making that type of move. But outside of that, I don't.
24:06
I can't pick a team off the top of my head that will make
24:07
that move. So I'm I'm gonna say this first and foremost, I hope
24:15
this doesn't happen, and just pay pay the guy. The Dallas Cowboys,
24:19
they are notorious for paying people late, and they end up getting ten to
24:26
fifteen million dollars way more than they should. They did that, They did
24:30
that with Dax's first said that, yeah, we're terrible with that. If
24:33
we would have resigned DAK and CD last year, we could have saved easily
24:38
twenty million a year because you could have signed DAK for forty five to fifty
24:44
million in CD for about twenty five. Now you're doubling that or giving up
24:48
another ten million for each one. Because I think Dak he's going to break
24:52
the bank and probably get sixty million, and I think CD he's gonna get
24:57
at least thirty two to thirty three million. So but again, just pay
25:03
your players. And if I had to pick one one team, I'm really
25:07
trying to think, because he's in the prime of his career, it's not
25:11
like he's this older receiver, no disrespect to type. I think Buffalo would
25:15
be the move. I Buffalo, it would. It would be very nice.
25:22
I'm trying to think. I can't think of nobody else. I think
25:23
Buffalo it would just have to be. But are you ready to get into
25:27
the fun part of the fun part of this right here? Green Bay?
25:32
I feel like there's so many damn good receivers on Green Bay. Exactly,
25:34
they're expendable, they're not as good as CD. Lamb hmm, that's true.
25:41
That's like maybe flip flip a Christian Watson then like three seconds or like
25:47
a first and a second. That might be a good move for both sides.
25:51
I mean, I get Christian Watson's injury riddled, but the Cowboys would
25:53
be looking for the most compensation they can get back and getting Christian Wats in
25:56
a first and two seconds would be good. I feel like Andy, that
26:00
could be a good fit there too. That's what I was thinking. Low
26:03
Key in the back, Indy could be a good fit because you could have
26:08
Anthony Richardson, Jonathan Taylor CD, you could give up a Michael Pittman and
26:12
maybe a couple first round picks. Damien's been on this get Quinn Ewers and
26:18
Shadeer over the last couple of days and get rid of dak like mindset,
26:23
and it's annoying me, and he's brought it to this podcast. Okay,
26:27
let's talk about it a little bit. Okay, let me talk to you,
26:30
Damian. I know you've been mentioned a lot in this episode. Here
26:33
we're talking one to one. Dak Prescott is a top five quarterback in this
26:41
damn league, and you're trying to get rid of a top five quarterback for
26:45
somebody who's unknown Quinn Yours and Shoelar Sanders. No, I'm not gonna read
26:49
those comments. They're probably crazy. But if you get rid of Dak Prescott,
26:56
there's gonna be four and twelve seasons. There's gonna be these terrible seasons
27:00
where it's like, oh my goodness, Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott was so
27:04
bad, and then you're gonna really see how bad this team was and how
27:07
much he was really covering up. If Dak Prescott goes to any other team,
27:12
he wouldn't be getting the scrutiny, and most likely because they other teams
27:18
know how to manage assets and build players around them to win a championship.
27:22
He'd probably have a conference championship by now or a Super Bowl. Yeah,
27:27
let him go to San fran honestly, let him. Let him go to
27:33
New Orleans. I promise you, I promise you he'll He'll turn that franchise
27:38
around real damn quick, I promise you, because they know how to manage
27:41
their assets better than the damn Dallas Cowboys. So this whole Dak Prescott disrespect
27:48
I ain't having it. I ain't having it, he said. He says.
27:51
I love Dak. I don't want to get rid of him honestly,
27:53
but we are going to have to lose him CD or Micah. But I
27:56
would want CD and Micah more than Dak. I love Dak. I ain't
28:00
a Dak hater. I'll say this again. Top five quarterbacks are not easier
28:07
to find the Number one receivers. I'll say that now. Number one receivers
28:11
grow on trees. Now, Yeah, they grow on trees. Yeah.
28:15
I would say, if you had to, if you had to choose out
28:19
of the three, Micah, CD and Dak, I would As much as
28:25
I love CD, I would say Micah and Dak because it's harder to find
28:30
premium pass rushers and quarterbacks compared to receivers. That's my thinking. And then
28:36
you don't have to have a number one receiver to win a championship. Look
28:41
at what Patrick Mahomes is doing. The Cowboys have always been able to find
28:45
number one receivers. They I don't think they've ever gone through a patch where
28:48
they didn't have a true number one receiver. Like we're gonna look back,
28:52
we go to to Ory Williams for that little bit when he was making Pro
28:56
Bowls, and we can transition against Bryant and now we're transitioning into ceedee lamb.
29:00
I do think that they're just gonna find another guy that comes up and
29:03
takes over that role. You're just gonna be like that. And we see
29:06
teams like the Chiefs this year, last year who didn't have a true number
29:10
one wide receiver I'm not saying Travis Kelsey's the air. I get it.
29:14
Put a true number one wide receiver. They want to super roles without a
29:17
your number one wide receiver. I do think having a top five quarterback and
29:21
a top five defensive player is way more valuable than having a top five wide
29:26
receiver and a top five, top five defensive player. Mm hmm, all
29:30
right, yeah, I agree. I agree with you. But all right,
29:34
that's for real, for real, get into fantasy football talk here.
29:40
So again, we're not experts here. I know whoever's going to be listening
29:45
to this. I am an expert. I am a fucking expert. Whoever's
29:48
listened to this, it's probably gonna be people who are going to be in
29:52
our drafts. Just know, whenever you see us again, since you're getting
29:55
this advice, just pay us a quick dub. Just pay us a quick
29:59
dub or something or give you for yeah, forgetting this free advice, forgetting
30:06
benefits in order to win again research, Yeah forgetting the research. So lazy,
30:11
lazy asses, you lazy, you lazy people. So yeah, all
30:18
right, we're gonna give. Like Josh said, top tens from each important
30:22
category. Quarterback, tight end, running back, receiver, and which one
30:26
do you want to start off with? Which one you want to start off
30:30
with, Josh, Let's start off with the nitty gritty the quarter all right,
30:36
all right? So ten to one or one to ten. Let's go
30:38
ten to one. Let's go tend to one to one. And I'll let
30:42
you name number ten. First, number ten for me as a tenth prospect
30:48
that I'm looking at to draft on my fantasy teams, It's Jordan Love.
30:53
And let me tell you why Jordan Love is gonna be number ten for me.
30:56
He closed the season last year posting six top ten finishes in his final
31:02
eight games of the season, finished second and passing touchdowns and produce a three
31:06
to one touchdown interception ratio. And the thing is with him is the way
31:11
he finished the season. I do expect him to continue it going into this
31:15
season. And then the thing is he's a very athletic quarterback, so there's
31:19
still some rushing upside that has not even been on lock from him yet and
31:23
go along with the strong arm and to put together some maybe more running production.
31:29
I'm not saying he jumps into the lamars. Anthony Richardson's the Kyler Murray's
31:34
but I do think he can add enough that will kind of booster his fantasy
31:41
output. And I do expect him to have a big season this year.
31:45
And I do think the notable weapons he has around him, with Jayden,
31:48
Reied, Romeo Dobbs, Chris and Watson, Josh Jacobs, Now, Luke
31:51
Musgraves, Tucker Kraft, it's gonna make well for another great season for him.
31:55
So I'm gonna have to agree with you right here, and I'm putting
31:57
Jordan love ten as well for much of the reasons you said. And I
32:01
feel like ten is kind of being safe here, just in case there's somewhat
32:06
overlief upside place. This is safe upside upside. I feel like upside because
32:12
he has some rushing upside, not necessarily what Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen,
32:15
Lamar, Anthony Richardson have, but he has some rushing upside. And again,
32:22
thirty two touchdowns eleven interceptions for your first official season where you struggle half
32:29
of that season and you finished as a number five overall quarterback is very damn
32:34
impressive. So I have Jordan love ten as well, who's nine number nine?
32:39
For me, I'm gonna have to go with Kyler Murray. To me,
32:42
he's probably the biggest bargain of all quarterbacks, especially where you're gonna be
32:45
able to draft him at People are gonna look at his last two seasons and
32:49
base it off his whole entire career due towards ACL and then came back the
32:53
middle of the season. And let me tell you his averages in these eleven
32:58
games in twenty twenty two eighteen point two points, in twenty twenty three eighteen
33:01
point three points. So he's been consistent, even struggling with a little bit
33:05
of injury play, and before injury he say had the same production coming back
33:08
from injury. But the thing is in twenty twenty he has twenty three point
33:13
seven points, which would put him at I will at number two overall last
33:17
season, and then twenty twenty one twenty one and a half fantasy points.
33:22
So he's he's shown production of being a twenty plus point scorer, which could
33:25
put him at top three every single season for the majority of fantasy football if
33:31
he has that same output, and especially this year, I think this is
33:37
probably his best position to do it. With Marvin Harrison Junior, the emergence
33:40
of Trey McBride they expect to breakout of a Michael Wilson. I think it
33:45
yeah to be able to grab him in around rounds eight and round nine and
33:47
hoping that he becomes your QB one. I think that's that's probably one of
33:52
the biggest bargains for Kyler Murray right now. So I do have Kyler Murray
33:55
on this list, but I'm not gonna reveal him yet. Number nine for
34:00
me is Joe Burrow, and Joe Burrow, I feel like he is the
34:04
biggest, one of the biggest wild cards in this top ten for me because
34:08
we've seen him produce. We've seen him produce two years ago, but these
34:14
last two years it's kind of been up and down. It's been if he
34:17
he didn't necessarily have a bad season last year when he played two hundred and
34:22
forty four completions and three hundred and sixty five attempts, had fifteen touchdowns,
34:28
six interceptions, and then fifteen points a game Fantasy football wise PPR. That's
34:32
not bad. That's about middle of the pack. But we know that there
34:36
could be more production there. We've seen the peaks, and I think him
34:40
number nine right here is more of a if he peaks there are certain weeks
34:46
where he could be up there with Josh Allen, Jalen, Hurtz, Mahomes.
34:51
And that's what makes him so scary, because on any single week he
34:54
could be the number one quarterback. And that's why he's number nine for me.
34:59
Good Night, Damon, I love you, he said, say it
35:01
back, Okay, night, Damien. I ain't saying that you disrespect the
35:07
deck. You disrespected the deck. All right, Well, I'll go in.
35:13
This kind of leads into my eighth spot, Joe Burrow. He was
35:15
explaining a lot of the reasons why I have him number eight, but I'm
35:17
gonna give a little bit, a little bit extra, Like I get injuries
35:21
derailed Joe Burrow, but it shouldn't be the reason why you don't select him
35:27
as QB one, because outside of that, the last two seasons before that
35:30
he played all sixteen games he didn't time at all besides his rookie year,
35:37
and in twenty twenty one he averaged nineteen point six points and in twenty twenty
35:39
two twenty one point nine points. And that's just off pretty much some of
35:45
like the lowest rushing output you'll get from a quarterback. Because how much he
35:49
can do with his arm, how much he can get the ball to these
35:52
playmakers on the outside in Jamar Chase and Te Higgins. I understand there's no
35:55
Tyler Boyd this year, but Tyler Boyd was kind of like fading off last
35:59
season and the emergence of Jamar Chase and Tie Higgins really taking over really happened
36:04
last year. And if you expect Joe Burrow to stay healthy this season and
36:07
Jamar Chase to stay healthy this season, Joe Burrow can catapult into the top
36:12
five easily just by his arm alone. So I do think getting him around
36:15
the eighth spot of QBS is a really good deal if you want to true
36:19
QB one on your team. So I guess we flip flopped here. So
36:23
I have Kyler Murray number eight for me, and again I think the rushing
36:30
upside is why I have him higher than Joe Burrow. As far as arm
36:34
talent, I would say it favors just a little bit Joe Burrow, but
36:38
I say Kyler Murray that's when he blows out the water Joe Burrow. Because
36:44
this is a dual threat quarterback. And you could argue now that the firepower
36:50
offensively is up there with the Cincinnati Bengals, and you could say the Cardinals,
36:57
they're going to be down in a bunch of their games because they're still
36:59
kind of re building. So Kyler Murray's gonna have to be throwing the ball
37:02
a lot compared to the Cincinnati Bengals, where they have a good team,
37:07
where they may not have to be running as or throwing the ball as much.
37:10
They can hand it to Zach Moss or they can hand it to Chase
37:14
Brown. So that's the only reason why I had Kyler above with Joe Burrow.
37:19
But these two could obviously both be interchangeable. All right, who's number
37:23
seven for you? For me? Number seven, I don't have to go
37:27
with Dak Prescott coming off a season where he finished third top three in Fantasy
37:31
points amongst all quarterbacks. It has to be still for you here at number
37:36
seven. After the force feeding experiment of Tony Poller it failed. They really
37:40
lean on the passing game, and Dak delivered, delivered. He averaged twenty
37:45
points per game after that, he had and then in seasons where he has
37:49
been healthy where he played the majority of the season or almost all the games.
37:52
In twenty nineteen, twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three. He finished
37:57
in the top five every single one of those seasons and Fantasy points, and
38:00
if he and if he stays healthy this season, there's no reason he shouldn't
38:05
be able to do it again. I get his rushing upside isn't what it
38:07
used to be when he first came into the year, but he still has
38:09
that in his arsenal when he needs it. And and then having to meet
38:15
mine and yours, which we'll get to in a minute. Number one receiver
38:17
in CD Lamb and all of Fantasy is gonna help him out tremendously. And
38:21
then Jake Ferguson last year, I think this year is gonna also add another
38:24
element that makes that a really interesting prospect for your teams. And I do
38:29
think getting him outside the top five that's a total still. So number seven
38:35
right here for me, this one it's really tough to say for me,
38:40
and I may end up being very wrong here because this guy could easily finish
38:45
a top three quarterback. I'm gonna have to say c J. Stroud here,
38:51
number seven. Okay. I know, I know there's a bunch of
38:53
CJ. Stroud hype, but I just think as of as of what happened
38:59
last year is not necessarily a fluky year, but the high touchdown, high
39:05
or low interception ratio, everything pretty much going perfect. You had one of
39:08
the best offensive lines in the league. Yes, you did add Stefan Diggs,
39:14
you did add Joe Mixon there. So there's definitely a bunch of talent.
39:17
He's still gonna finish with a good amount of points. But I just
39:22
think again, this falls under the same category here. I think the Texans
39:25
they're going to be a damn good team, just they may be up in
39:30
majority of these games where they may run the ball more and there's gonna be
39:36
somewhat One thing I'm gonna say throughout this this podcast is touchdown regression. As
39:43
far as the touchdowns, they always shift, they're not consistent. That's something
39:46
in fantasy football that is never a reliable stat And I just think as far
39:52
as just the touchdowns, there may be a little bit of a dip here.
39:57
So that's why I have CJ. Stroud seven. But it's really tough.
40:02
It's really tough to put him ahead of these guys, So go ahead
40:06
of me. He's number six, number six for me. I have CJ.
40:08
Stroud finishing top seven and fantasy points per game in his rookie season with
40:14
no rushing production. Great Start has weapons galore. They're they're sure to get
40:19
in the end zone and create big plays, especially with with just his arm
40:22
alone. That includes Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, Tank Dale, Dalton Schultz,
40:27
and Joe Mixon. I do think that's just and that he also I
40:31
get they're not established, but Breverend Jordan and created over as backup tight ends.
40:37
Also, he has weapons everywhere you look at it. And outside of
40:39
these three receivers, we have John Metchi and Nico and we have Noah Brown.
40:45
So this team from top to bottom is set up for CJ. Stroud
40:49
to have a big fantasy season, and I fully expect four thousand yards a
40:52
get and maybe even forty touchdowns. I wouldn't surprise me at all from CJ.
40:57
Stroud, who can catapult definitely into the top three with that production alone.
41:00
But having him the sixth rank, I do think it's a little it's
41:06
not generous at all to say that he's a top sixth fantasy quarterback going into
41:10
this season. Yeah, so this where it was a little bit tough for
41:15
me. I had to put Dak ahead of c J. Stroud here because
41:19
I feel like these guys both have the same build as far as they're not
41:22
much rushing quarterbacks. They're more dependent on their arms. They could run occasionally,
41:29
and I just think that as far as Dak Prescott, you already mentioned
41:31
why he's going to be a top ten quarterback in fantasy, But I'm gonna
41:36
list my reason reasoning as far as why c J. Stroud is below him
41:42
or yeah, below him, and that's just Dak Prescott. From Week eight
41:49
all the way to Week seventeen, they led the league as far as pass
41:52
attempts. They went all the way from from the twentieth team all the way
41:58
to the number one team. They went from thirty two pass attempts all the
42:00
way up to thirty nine pass attempts. So this team is definitely going to
42:05
be throwing the ball a lot. They did not get a real running back.
42:08
They got Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Daaldo back there, so I think this
42:13
they're finally going in a full direction. As far as Dak Prescott, he's
42:16
going to lead this offense and he's gonna be really well. This is why
42:22
he's number six because all these other five quarterbacks in the top ten, they
42:27
have rushing upside, So he's the best quarterback fantasy football wise that has no
42:34
legitimate threat as far as rushing. So that six for me. But all
42:38
right, we're into the top five here. I think we have the same
42:43
five players remaining. Yeah, we do, but I think it might it
42:46
might be in a different order. So who's five for you? Number five
42:51
for me is going to be Anthony you Richteresting, and I know a lot
42:52
of you are going to be like, dude didn't play, but when he
42:55
did play, fantasy output was there. And let me tell you, he
42:59
was on pace for seven hundred rushing yards and double digit touchdowns before the injury.
43:05
He had to high. I do believe he has the highest fantasy upside
43:07
of all NFL quarterbacks if he does stay healthy. He had twenty point nine
43:12
to two points and twenty nine point six points in both completed games he did
43:15
play, and seventeen point seven four points and one quarter in a one quarter
43:20
outburst versus the Houston Texans in Week two. That dude was. He was
43:23
balling in his first four games of his career. He does have to change
43:28
the style of play if he keeps playing the way he does, he won't
43:30
have a long career and he won't be viable fantasy option. But if he
43:35
does stay healthy, you get you get a for sure high end QB one
43:39
and Anthony Richardson, and that's something every team should want if you want to
43:45
in the hopes of winning a fantasy football championship. His weapons around him are
43:50
Michael Pittman at A nine, Mitchell, Josh Downs, Jonathan Taylor. I
43:53
do think that's enough for him to create a lot of production without his legs.
43:58
And then also the old line needs to get a little bit better in
44:01
Indianapolis after being a staple of their team for many years. But I do
44:06
think if Anthony Richardson can stay healthy, the upside is through the roof.
44:10
Eight's even higher than Josh Allens. So number five right here, I'm gonna
44:15
have is Lamar Jackson. And Lamar Jackson he was QB three last year,
44:22
and I just think the biggest reason for him being number five for me is
44:25
that guy in the backfield, which his name is Derrick Henry, and they
44:30
signed Dererick Henry for a specific reason, and that's for late in the game
44:34
for him to run the ball, and yes, Lamar Jackson he is gonna
44:37
get his touches, but Gus Edwards he stole plenty of touchdowns away from Lamar
44:42
Jackson. I believe he had twelve touchdowns. I could easily see Derrick Henry
44:46
this season having at least fifteen plus rushing touchdowns, and that's gonna take away
44:52
from Lamar Jackson as far as we already know what he can do. But
44:57
compared to these other guys where they're probably gonna more often than not get the
45:01
rushing touchdowns and boost him ahead of Lamar Jackson. So that's why Lamar's five
45:07
for me. Yeah, number four for me is gonna be Lamar Jackson.
45:09
Coming off the NFB season, the utilization of his dual threat ability that happened
45:15
last year, there's no reason to think he can't repeat this again. He
45:17
stayed healthy all sixteen games last season. That's big because there was an injury
45:22
problem the years before that. He averaged twenty point seven points, fourth overall
45:25
for all QBS. I do understand the addition of Derrick Henry may take away,
45:30
but I think it's actually gonna help him because when you're worried about the
45:34
rush of Derrick Henry, you kind of forget. You're not gonna forget about
45:38
Lamar Jackson being the best running quarterback of all time, but you're gonna definitely
45:45
take into account that there's also another threat in the backfield who can do a
45:47
lot more damage. And I do think that's gonna help Lamar Jackson a lot
45:52
when he does decide to take off and run, because there's gonna be two
45:55
focuses instead of a main one focus and having shuffling running back because they're not
46:00
going to shuffle as many running backs with Derrick Henry there. So I do
46:02
think this is going to help him, especially in the passing game, because
46:06
when you have a threat like Derrick Henry, you kind of have to worry
46:08
about stacking the box and that could create a lot more opportunity for the receivers
46:13
on the outside, and that only helps Lamar of Jackson. So the main
46:15
reason why, so number four right here is going to be Anthony Richardson,
46:20
And I was flip flopping these two, and I guess we're kind of gonna
46:22
end up having the same list. But everything that you mentioned about Anthony Richardson
46:28
and as far as his first four games, he averaged eighteen point four fantasy
46:31
points a game. And that's in his rookie year, where you're finally or
46:37
you're barely being able to read a defense, and now you have more talent
46:40
around you. Jonathan Taylor, I believe he only played one game with him,
46:45
And now you're at Adamni Mitchell and then you have Josh Downs and Michael
46:49
Pittman still there, and that offensive line is still going to be one of
46:52
the best offensive lines in the league. And another thing is that Shane Steichen.
46:58
I feel like this is a big X factor here. Every year that
47:01
Shane Stichen he's had or he's been the offensive coordinator, his team has always
47:09
been one of the best rushing touchdown teams. So when he got to the
47:15
Philadelphia Eagles, they had twenty five rushing touchdowns. The following year they had
47:21
thirty two rushing touchdowns, and then last year they had nineteen rushing touchdowns.
47:25
All of those ranked top ten. So this means whenever they get into the
47:29
red zone, there's gonna be rushing touchdowns. You can say, okay,
47:31
well, Jonathan Taylor, he is there, but they also they also use
47:37
Anthony Richardson as a red zone threat. And I think that's exactly what's gonna
47:43
happen here. And yes, Jonathan Taylor, both of them might be stealing
47:46
away touchdowns from each other. But I could easily see Anthony Richardson having a
47:52
twenty plus passing touchdown season and a ten plus rushing touchdown season. So that's
47:58
why he's four for me. And I think we have the top three the
48:00
same. So I don't know if you want to just go ahead and list
48:05
this your top three, well, we can do three, and then if
48:08
it's the same, you can just piggyback off of it. Okay, okay,
48:12
cool, we can do that. For number three, I have Patrick
48:15
Mahomes coming off his worst fantasy output in his entire six year career. There
48:20
is hope for a bounce back. Last year, we know what happened most
48:23
drops in the NFL Caadarius Tony doing his thing, Sky and Moore doing his
48:27
thing until Rashi Rice is emergence. That's not gonna happen again this year.
48:30
Because Hollywood and xaber Worthy are there. They will open up the opportunities for
48:34
Shee Rice and Travis Kelce. Because Hollywood and Xavier Worthy will take the take
48:38
the top off of the defense, and now we'll allow for Rashi Rice and
48:40
Travis Kelce get to work underneath. That's only going to allow Mahomes to get
48:44
back to the top three fantasy QB output. And then despite all of that,
48:47
he's still averaged seventeen and a half Fantasy points last season. If that's
48:52
the greatest quarterbacks of all times output in his worst season, give me that
48:55
floor every single time. And even last year he showed the most rushing upside
49:02
he's ever shown in his entire career, rushing for the most first downs in
49:07
the entire NFL, escaping the pocket when he needed to. Is I get
49:10
he's the best quarterback behind the line of scrimmage, but this year he took
49:14
it above the line of scrimmage. I'm not saying he's nowhere near He's nowhere
49:17
near Lamar Anthony Richardson and Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts. But he's definitely in
49:22
that tier underneath that can create opportunity for himself with his legs, and I
49:25
don't see any reason that that gets taken away this year, even with the
49:29
extra even with the more, even with the weapons he has going into this
49:32
season. Yeah, So Patrick Mahomes. I looked at it, so he
49:37
had at least two drops a game, so which that equals out to about
49:42
thirty four drops total, and so he's still even in those games. Was
49:49
one of the best, obviously one of the best quarterbacks. And he had
49:52
and at least what it averaged out to each game he had he had at
49:58
least ten plus passing yards. As far as the times he threw the ball
50:02
over ten yards, he did that at least three times a game. Once
50:07
he did that thirty yards or more, then then as far as forty yards
50:10
or more he did that one time. So he was throwing the ball down
50:15
the field. Just things weren't happening right, So we also do go ahead.
50:21
We also got a thing too with the receivers that we're playing the route.
50:25
The route the playbook was simplified to a absolute team last year like it
50:31
because these guys weren't able to get open. They weren't running the right routes.
50:36
So it was really just a lot of dink and dunk football, a
50:39
lot of it. I get they when they did try big plays, it
50:44
just didn't work out. Most of the time. The drops the receivers really
50:47
held back Mahomes a lot last year, and I don't think that's gonna happen
50:52
again this year. And that's why I do think he'll be back into that
50:53
top three fourm Yeah, no, I definitely do. He's still finished.
51:00
I believe he's still finished as a top five quarterback in the league still.
51:05
Fantasy football wise, Yeah, no, he finished as QB seven if you're
51:08
going PPR wise, but yeah, QB seven. Yeah, so he's still
51:13
finished as one of the best quarterbacks. But obviously Hollywood Brown he is there.
51:17
Rashid Rice, we'll see as far as pinning suspension, but what it
51:22
looks like or from what you said before the pod, he's most likely going
51:25
to play. So there's gonna be those threats there who could actually have the
51:30
deep or there's actually the deep threat there annexavier worthy as well, which I
51:35
forgot to mention. So Patrick Mahomes in the down year was QB seven,
51:40
and obviously there's positive and negative regression. It's a positive year, so he's
51:45
easily going to be a top three quarterback bearing anything crazy. So who's your
51:51
number two? Number two for me is going to be Jalen Hurts. I
51:54
understand a lot of people are really hesitant this year because the loss of Jason
51:59
Kelce, but he averaged the second most fantasy points among all quarterbacks with twenty
52:05
one and a half, only behind Josh Allen. Fifteen rushing touchdowns tied with
52:08
Josh Allen. The touch push remains legal. It's the most it's the most
52:14
luxurious play for fantasy owners. Let me tell you, I had Jalen Hurts
52:17
in like three leagues last year. I won all three of them because of
52:22
Jalen Hurts and that touch push. It's it's definitely a cheek ode for sure.
52:27
He's and that's six points right there. That's six points, not four
52:30
points. That's six points guaranteed. And over the last three seasons he's had
52:35
double digit rushing touchdowns, so he's guaranteed these points no matter what. And
52:40
he still has the weapons galore, AJ Brown, Davontas Smith, Dallas Carter,
52:45
and now the addition of Sakwon Barkley, one of the best receiving running
52:49
back threats in the NFL. That's only going to add to the mix.
52:52
And then he still has that great O line. I get Jason Kelsey's gone,
52:54
but they're still Jordaniata, there's still Elaine Johnson, there's still Landing Dickerson,
53:00
There's still a lot of good talent on that offensive line, and they
53:02
added a lot more with Cam Jurgens. They still have Cam Jurgens, they
53:06
added I believe, another piece. So it's just I don't think it's gonna
53:10
be a setback. I do think he can still have the same production going
53:14
into this season. And then even though he the Eagles fell off to end
53:22
the season last year, I believe he still finished top three in points per
53:25
game in the final three weeks of this season. So even though the team
53:30
took a step back, he still was putting that fantasy production out there.
53:35
And that's why I think he should still be the number two quarterback taken in
53:37
all of fantasy football. Yeah, I agree with you one hundred percent here
53:42
Jalen Hurts, He's number He's number two for me as well, and as
53:45
far as down the stretch, which you talked about. So Ever, since
53:49
a bye week, he finished eleventh against Kansas City, then he finished second,
53:53
sixth, twenty fourth against Dallas that's where the outlier. Then fifth,
53:58
fifth, third, and then again New York Giants. He didn't play.
54:01
He didn't play much so, like you were saying, even down the stretch
54:07
when they were struggling, he was still scoring fantasy points. And one thing
54:12
about this Kellen Moore offense, it's going to be real predicated as far as
54:16
Jalen hurts throwing the ball down the field. It's really going to be predicated
54:21
on that. And like you said, the touch push, that's unstoppable,
54:24
guaranteed, guaranteed ten, maybe even fifteen touchdowns this year. But I just
54:31
couldn't put him ahead of this number one guy, which we're obviously we're both
54:37
going to agree on, which is going to be Josh Allen. Josh Allen.
54:40
I think Josh Allen he's in the perfect situation as far as a fantasy
54:47
football quarterback, somebody who's dual threat and is most likely going to be a
54:52
negative game scripts where he's going to have to be throwing the ball all over
54:55
the field and playing backyard football because I think this roster got completely deloaded,
55:01
So this is gonna be a Josh Allen dependent team. I don't know what
55:06
you think about that. Yeah, I completely agree. He's the biggest dull
55:10
threat. He has the biggest dull threat ability in the NFL. He's obviously
55:15
one of the top passers in the NFL. He's also probably the top two,
55:19
top three rushing quarterback in the entire NFL. I said it before he
55:23
rushed for fifteen touchdowns last season. It's gonna be hard to repeat, but
55:28
if he gets at least ten, it's more than enough to subtify his first
55:30
overall spot. He's averaged twenty four point seven points per game, which is
55:34
the best amongst all quarterbacks over the last three seasons. And then I get
55:38
losing Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis. However, even having them on the field,
55:45
he still recorded his lowest passing yards of his entire career and still finished
55:51
number one amongst all quarterbacks. His weapons now are Curtis Samuel Keon, Coleman
55:55
daltsk and k James Cook. But I do think the running back backfield,
56:00
it's gonna be a little bit better with the Ray Davis and Frank Gore Junior
56:04
being there. But I think people are kind of sleeping on him a lot
56:07
because the weapons are gone. But the weapons weren't that productive last year to
56:12
begin with, and so if they can kind of replicate that with these two,
56:15
with these new weapons, with these new guys they have around him,
56:20
There's no reason, Josh I don't just finished number one for another year,
56:23
for another season. This is nowhere by means saying that he's the best quarterback
56:28
in the NFL, but he's the best fantasy quarterback in the NFL. Well,
56:30
yeah, obviously we know who the best quarterback is in the NFL.
56:34
That's obviously Dak Prescott too. Bro chill out. Oh yeah, you're right.
56:38
I forgot the mister de Vito. But okay, do you have an
56:43
honorable mention here? As far as somebody outside the top ten here? Now
56:46
you think could creep in? I understand he had a bad season last year,
56:51
but I don't have to go with Trevor Lawrence. I think Trevor Lawrence
56:53
can creep back into the top ten. He does have some good rushing upside.
56:59
And plus, I do you think he's going back to the offense that
57:00
made him great the year before this last one, And that's going back to
57:07
having Christian Kirk as the number one, that's going back to getting the ball
57:10
to his running back Travis Et and going back instead of having a Calvin Ridley
57:15
on the outside who kind of messed a little bit of the flow up and
57:16
they still ended up going back to Christian Kirk in the end, I'm a
57:22
scrap last year for Trevor Lawrence and start this one all over again. I
57:25
do think he has he can be back to that top ten category. I'm
57:30
not saying top five, but I can say I can see top eight through
57:32
seven for him, finished as a finished the next year. And Jared Goff.
57:37
Let's go with Jared Goff. The weapons around him, there's no rushing
57:39
upside. Do not expect Jared Goff's rush for a single touchdown this season.
57:43
If he does, that's insane. But having Aman Raw, Jamison Williams,
57:47
Sam Laporta, Brock Right, Jamior Gibbs, David Montgomery all around you,
57:52
when you have that many weapons, you're guaranteed to score Fantasy points. And
57:55
I do think Jared Goff can be up into the top ten maybe. So
58:01
I know you're not gonna like this name here. I know you haven't heard
58:06
this name in a while, but it's already gonna get you frustrated. Rock
58:09
Party has a damn good chance of being a top ten quarterback Fantasy. Yeah,
58:15
in Fantasy, in Fantasy, in fantasy, Agree in fantasy and fantasy.
58:20
In fantasy, He's not get me on some bullshit right now. Right.
58:23
So he finished sixth last year overall on Fantasy, and down the stretch
58:30
he did week from week ten on twenty three points, twenty six points,
58:35
eleven points, thirty points, twenty two points, twenty five points, six
58:38
points against Baltimore than seventeen, So he was he was amazing down the stretch
58:45
other than that Baltimore game, which probably costs some people some games, but
58:50
other than that, he was a damn consistent quarterback. And talk about you
58:54
talked about somebody with Jared Goff who has a weapons. The San Francisco have
58:59
even more weapons with Brandon Nayuk, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and now Ricky
59:02
Perschel. So you could see some guys maybe like Tua Stafford Kleb, maybe
59:09
Jayden Daniels. But again, I think that's somebody who could creep in.
59:15
But I think we pretty much had a fair assessment and we had pretty much
59:22
the same top ten, just in a different order. But I don't know
59:27
how this is going to be as far as running back wise. You want
59:30
to go in and get into the running back, Yeah, and for number
59:34
ten, for me, I'm going with Travis Etn. He's coming off a
59:37
season which he had their most touches amongst all running backs. However, he
59:40
didn't have a great production. He finished thirty eighth in yards per touch.
59:45
But the thing that made this worth it fifty eight total receptions, four hundred
59:52
and seventy six receiving yards and a total of twelve touchdowns as a whole.
59:55
That boosted his stock tremendously. I expect him to have the load once again.
1:00:00
Barring injury, his volume should be enough to hold him into RB one's
1:00:05
territory. For you, it's gonna be it's gonna be tough to replicate having
1:00:08
two hundred and sixty two touches again. But I don't see the emergence of
1:00:13
a Ting Bigsby or anyone else in that backfield right now for travesy team to
1:00:16
get taken over from. But I do think he he still has that upside
1:00:23
receiving wise that can keep him in the top ten. So number ten right
1:00:30
here, I'm gonna have Isaiah Pacheco here. I think Isaiah Pacheco he is
1:00:37
one guy where I think that he has the opportunity to become a number one
1:00:43
as far as number one overall fantasy football running back, and that's because you
1:00:46
have Patrick Mahomes back there, and everybody is going to be scared of them
1:00:51
throwing the ball. So there's gonna be a light box there for Isaiah Pacheco.
1:00:55
And I just think just how how it was going down the stretch last
1:01:00
year Isaiah Pacheco. It seemed like he was a clear cut fantasy fantasy football
1:01:07
reliable guy that you could depend on. And I think that he may have
1:01:12
a touchdown boost this year. I really do think so. I believe he
1:01:15
finished as RB thirteen if I'm not mistaken, and he had seven touchdowns.
1:01:22
I could easily see that being doubled. I could easily see that being doubled,
1:01:25
maybe a fifteen sixteen touchdown season where he could end up creeping into that
1:01:30
top five potentially, and not even to mention for half of that stretch,
1:01:37
I think from about Week three to Week eight, he was barely getting over
1:01:42
fifty percent of the snap share. So I think this year, I think
1:01:45
they're really going to lean into Isaiah Pacheco and he could get anywhere from that
1:01:51
seventy to eighty percent snap share where you could really see him become that top
1:01:54
ten fantasy football running back. Yeah, I completely agree. For me number
1:01:59
nine, I do have Isaiah Pacheco. He averaged fifteen point three points per
1:02:02
game despite facing a lot of stack boxes. With the additions of Hollywood and
1:02:07
Xavier Worthy, he's going to benefit the most, I think from any player
1:02:09
in this offense because when you have a guy that can take the top off
1:02:14
the defense, you have the guys that they have to worry about, which
1:02:16
Travis Kelcey or Shei Rice underneath. That's going to open up the field entirely
1:02:21
for a guy like Isaiah Pachecko because he's no longer the main focal point.
1:02:24
Last year, he was the main focal point because he was the only one
1:02:28
that could be productive without having to catch a football, and that's why you
1:02:30
stack the box against running backs like that. But now you have to worry
1:02:35
about so many different factors in this Chiefs offense that Isaia Pachecko is going to
1:02:38
see a lot of inside zone that's gonna have holes open every single time,
1:02:44
and he's gonna be able to have that burst that he does have. And
1:02:46
then the absorbing of contact that he plays with is just going to be able
1:02:52
to both booster him so much. He scored like you were alluding to,
1:02:54
He closed the season off pretty well. He scored twenty plus points in three
1:02:59
of his final four games, and then he showed in the playoffs and the
1:03:01
roads to the super Bowl he can handle a big workload, going three hundred
1:03:06
and seventy three yards three touchdowns on ninety three touches in the playoffs. That's
1:03:10
that's that's RB one numbers night week in and week out. And then you
1:03:15
how you said how he could get a big girl a big boost in touchdown
1:03:20
production. He had sixteen of the twenty three carries and gold to goal situations
1:03:23
make him the clear red zone threat last year for the Chiefs when it came
1:03:28
to rushing the football. And I don't see that, dissip. I don't
1:03:31
see that going away this year at all. And if and if and I
1:03:35
and I will make a prediction that because there's so many weapons, he's gonna
1:03:39
have a lot of the dink and dunks when they're worried about the other guys
1:03:43
this season. I do think that's going to create a lot more opportunity for
1:03:45
him, especially getting Pacheco in open field. He's the one of the hardest
1:03:50
guys to tackle in the entire NFL, and he runs a four to three.
1:03:52
So let's I think. I do think if he gets the ball in
1:03:57
open space off of reception, it's gonna be big for fantasy owners this season.
1:04:00
And he can told. I think he has some pretty big upside.
1:04:03
And that's just not me being a Chiefs fan. Yeah, no, I
1:04:08
agree with you one hundred percent. But this next one, I know we're
1:04:11
not going to agree on. We had a little bit of disagreement in the
1:04:15
text messages, and I stood by it. I thought about it, but
1:04:18
I just couldn't. I have Karen Williams, who finished as a number four
1:04:23
overall running back number nine here, and you must be wondering, why is
1:04:27
that he was in his rookie or second year, and he's even in a
1:04:32
better offense, better offensive line. Why should he be going down your list?
1:04:36
Well, I got a couple of reasons. So ten of the last
1:04:42
eleven games he received at least seventy two percent of the snap share, and
1:04:47
he was being forced fed the ball and not necessarily this is a bad thing.
1:04:51
This is a good thing. But how often is that going to happen
1:04:56
now that you have Oh my god, I just went blank. As far
1:05:00
as the winning buck's name, Blake Korum, thank you now that you spent
1:05:04
high draft capital, I'm Blake Koram. I don't. I don't see that
1:05:09
necessarily continuing. And I know I talked about Isaiah Pacheko. As far as
1:05:14
the touchdown of positive regret or positive upside, I feel like the exact top
1:05:19
opposite's gonna happen with Kravin Williams. Here. He finished with fifteen touchdowns in
1:05:25
eleven games. That is a crazy pace to maintain. And I think the
1:05:29
pace it was around it was around twenty four games if I'm not or twenty
1:05:33
four touchdowns, twenty four to twenty five total touchdowns. So I don't see
1:05:39
how consistent that could be right there. And I just think with all these
1:05:43
other weapons in the offense, there's gonna be a touchdown regression and that's gonna
1:05:48
that's what's gonna leave him outside of the top five running back list in my
1:05:53
opinion. I'll get into that in a little bit. Yeah, But for
1:05:56
number eight, for me, I have Derrick Henry. He's up there in
1:06:00
age, but he still was pretty productive almost twelve hundred yards twelve touchdowns,
1:06:03
while also having eighteen receptions for two hundred and fourteen yards. I think playing
1:06:08
behind a better old line in Baltimore and having threats such as Lamar Jackson and
1:06:12
Mark Andrews around him should take a lot of pressure off of him. And
1:06:15
even last year he had the most rushes in the entire NFL WI two hundred
1:06:18
seventy two. That's obviously probably not gonna happen in Baltimore to do them having
1:06:23
a better offense in general and not having to rely on him solely. But
1:06:27
I do think having a threat like Lamar Jackson also in the backfield is going
1:06:30
to create a lot of opportunity for him, and then having Mark Andrews and
1:06:33
Zave Flowers as threats on the outside, and obviously Mark Andrews being Mark Andrews,
1:06:40
I do think it's gonna help him out. This is the best situation
1:06:43
he's probably ever been in his entire career offensively where he's not the main focal
1:06:46
point. And I do think I'm not expecting sixteen hundred yards and fourteen touchdowns,
1:06:53
but I'm for sure expecting eleven twelve and basically the same production last year
1:06:59
to this year. Yeah, with a little bit with with a little bit
1:07:01
more upside, maybe getting into fourteen touchdowns, fifteen touchdowns just because the Baltimore
1:07:06
Ravens offense will get into more goal line situations more than the Tennessee Titans did.
1:07:11
So Number eight right here, I'm gonna have Travis Etn, somebody who
1:07:15
I believe could have one of the better seasons. Somewhat I'm kind of projecting
1:07:21
a little bit too low. It's Travis Etn. Travis Etn. I just
1:07:26
think that last year it was somewhat of a bad year, and he still
1:07:30
finished as a running back three and he had one of the worst rated offensive
1:07:34
lines in the league. He had twenty ninth rated, so the third worst
1:07:40
actually, and he went through a stretch so the first eight eight weeks he
1:07:45
averaged about twenty two touches a game. Then after that, from week nine
1:07:51
on, he averaged sixteen touches a game and about seventy total yards. So
1:07:58
I just don't think that could happen again because there's not a true running back
1:08:02
threat behind him, Tank Bigsby. That that whole talk is over. Oh
1:08:10
my goodness, I forgot his name. Dearnest Johnson. He's not gonna be
1:08:14
the threat that threats up Travis Etn. I just think that the Jacksonville Jaguar
1:08:20
offense had a very bad year last year, and I think there's gonna be
1:08:25
some positive regression and Travis Etn he's gonna benefit from that. That's why he's
1:08:30
number eight for me. Yeah, so I'm gonna get into my number seven.
1:08:33
I'm gonna have Jamior games right here. Gives us a hard player rank
1:08:38
due to his splits with David Montgomery, and he's not gonna see the goal
1:08:41
line work. It's always gonna be David Montgomery. I think even towards the
1:08:44
end of the season that didn't change. But Jimmyer Gabbs did handle a lot
1:08:47
more of the workload going towards the end of the season. But he's never
1:08:50
gonna be a premier running back in the NFL just due to his lack of
1:08:54
size and the way he plays football. He's more of that that spark plug,
1:09:00
a high end spark plug. That's what I'm gonna call him. That's
1:09:01
the way I think Jamior gives us in the NFL. He's very much a
1:09:05
productive RB one, but he also needs that power back right next to him
1:09:10
that can take because I do think, because just I understand he he has
1:09:17
some of the best break tackle in the NFL, but he's just not built
1:09:23
for that type of for that type of carry, for that type of in
1:09:26
between, the in between, the in between the tackles hard knows football.
1:09:30
He's more of the the high power give it to me receiving outside zone,
1:09:38
all that big play, big play upside, and it's still gonna benef him
1:09:43
being in the high powered offense that that the Lions do have. He finished
1:09:46
last season fifth and fantasy points per touch and second in yards before contact,
1:09:51
and then he finished ninth in total touchdowns and top ten and targets and receptions
1:09:55
for four running backs. And that's all while splitting carries. And then he
1:10:00
even had some pretty big games down the stretch. But I can't pick it
1:10:02
off the top of my head. Which game he scored like close to over
1:10:06
thirty points, but they were also down in that game. I think those
1:10:11
versus Baltimore versus Baltimore. This is in games like that, that's where Jamier
1:10:15
Gives is gonna make his money. When it has to come down to a
1:10:16
shootout. Jamiir Gives the guy that you want on your football team, on
1:10:20
your fantasy football team, because he's for sure going to be on in those
1:10:24
passing situations and that's where he makes a lot of his money. And plus
1:10:27
when he does get the ball in running situations, he's a big play waiting
1:10:30
to happen, and we saw that numerous times last season. Yeah, so
1:10:35
number seven right here, I had a hard time ranking this guy right here,
1:10:41
and it's gonna be devon a chain for me. I think devon a
1:10:44
chain. This is somebody where Okay, eight games, he played forty one
1:10:49
percent of the snaps, but fourteen touches, one hundred and almost one hundred
1:10:55
and fourteen total yards, the efficiency was off the chart, hells averaging seven
1:11:00
point eight yards of carry, and he had eleven total touchdowns. So I
1:11:04
think that this guy is the biggest wild card as far as this top ten
1:11:10
right here, because he could either have positive regression as far as if he
1:11:15
gets more touches, he could have one of these historic running back fantasy football
1:11:20
seasons we haven't seen since Christian McCaffrey in twenty nineteen, or it could be
1:11:26
somebody who ends up being one of the biggest running back hype busts as far
1:11:30
as being in the top ten, falling out and completely because you still have
1:11:34
Raheem Mostered there and then you drafted Jalen Wright this year in the draft.
1:11:39
So I think if he could become the as far as the goal line rusher,
1:11:46
the number one goal line rusher instead of Raheem Moster having that spot,
1:11:50
I think that he could be up there, potentially top three, but I
1:11:55
have him here a number seven due to that fact. And also you have
1:11:58
to bring in injuries. I know people they don't like to talk about injuries
1:12:01
as far as oh well, if he's completely healthy, he can't play,
1:12:05
but injuries they do matter in fantasy football. So that's why he's seven.
1:12:11
But he can be argued all the way up to top three. In my
1:12:14
opinion, Yeah, I don't have to vone Chen in my top ten.
1:12:17
I personally taken. I'm personally taking all these guys above him, and that's
1:12:24
just due to I just feel like he's an injury waiting to happen, and
1:12:29
it did happen last season. And then also I think it's just so hard
1:12:32
to replicate the amount of big plays that he was creating for himself last season,
1:12:40
and I just I do think them still having a loaded running back room
1:12:46
back there is gonna is gonna hurt him a bit. I get I dreaded
1:12:49
him in Dynasty, but as far as Redraft, I just don't see him
1:12:54
being above some of these guys, especially in a game in game out basis.
1:12:58
I understand he has the higher side for a bigger game, for a
1:13:01
bigger day, but I I'd rather take the season output, every other week
1:13:09
output, if that makes sense, If that's what I'm trying to get you,
1:13:12
yeah, yeah, And so for me number six, I'm gonna have
1:13:15
Kyron Williams. And let's get into it. Let's get an average nearly twenty
1:13:19
two put chuches per game in the twelve games that he did play, which
1:13:23
is insane. I fully expected to drop to Brown eighteen to seventeen, but
1:13:28
he posted nearly twenty four points per game in weeks twelve through seventeen. Fifteen
1:13:32
total touchdowns in twelve games would still rate third among all running backs. That's
1:13:36
even with missing five games. Blake Korum has a lot of people worried.
1:13:43
I get that, But if you think a guy is gonna come off a
1:13:45
season where he was the workhorse that he was, the goal line back who
1:13:51
was very productive at the goal line, receiving back, do it all for
1:13:56
this team. He was basically Puku Nakua at the running back position. The
1:14:00
Los Angeles Rams he was based. I think without Kyen Williams' offense does not
1:14:03
flow the way that it did last season, and that's because he offered such
1:14:08
a big threat in the backfield. I just think even with seventy percent of
1:14:15
what he did last year, that's enough to be a top top six,
1:14:17
even top five running back in fantasy football. And I just don't see Blake
1:14:21
corm overtaking him at all this season. I maybe next season, but as
1:14:25
far as this season, Kyle Williams is still number six for me. Well,
1:14:29
I'll say this. As far as Blake Korm, I don't expect him
1:14:32
to take over from what Karen Williams did. I just think, like you
1:14:36
said, there's gonna be about five to six touches that drop off from there.
1:14:42
And I just think that touchdown regression is just bound to happen with him
1:14:46
because that's something that rarely stays consistent. Fifteen touchdowns, that's that's insane.
1:14:54
That's just as crazy as devon a chains of efficiency there. I do think
1:15:00
outside yeah, of the Cooper Cup triple Crown win. Okay, the the
1:15:08
Rams receivers never average a lot of touchdowns, if that, they never average
1:15:14
to like, so they're getting to the They're still able to win these games
1:15:18
while getting to the goal line. And I think that that goal line work
1:15:24
that Kyral Williams is gonna receive is just gonna be still enough to put him
1:15:28
into this. I do think he can. He's one of the better backs
1:15:30
within ten yards and that was proven last season. We saw it with our
1:15:33
own eyes that he's able to do that. And I still do think.
1:15:38
We saw Pokaakua get all these receptions in all that yards last year, but
1:15:41
only five touchdowns. We saw Cooper Cup come back and still be productive,
1:15:45
didn't get that much touchdowns, I do. I think to two out,
1:15:47
will had almost as much touchdowns, not too die. DeMarcus Robertson had almost
1:15:51
as much touchdowns as Cooper Cup did last season. And so I still do
1:15:57
think Kyra Williams is gonna be that main goal line back who's gonna get the
1:16:00
first look for a touchdown every single time in the red zone. Yeah,
1:16:02
I definitely do see that. But okay, I'll break it down like this.
1:16:09
I could see him still getting fifteen touchdowns, but over a seventeen game
1:16:13
sample size, No, that's still a lot. Yeah No, Still,
1:16:16
that's what I'm saying. That's still a lot. And if you add in
1:16:20
as far as one touchdown per game, yeah, that's that's what I'm saying.
1:16:25
As far as it won't be as far as him, I don't think
1:16:30
because he was on pace to average about or it was going to be about
1:16:33
twenty four every game this season, he would have destroyed Player of the Year.
1:16:40
Yeah, no question, that's what I'm saying. I just think there's
1:16:43
gonna be somewhat of a of a regression here, and I just think some
1:16:46
of these other guys, should we put a little should we put a little
1:16:51
stake to this? Arvin Williams who finishes higher at the end of the season,
1:16:58
I feel like you gotta have been against a chain. I'm just saying.
1:17:03
I'm just saying, like you think Kiren's a little lower, I think
1:17:06
Devon Achen's a little lower. Okay, let's let's put a friendly dub Ski
1:17:11
on it. Okay, we we have a lot of dubs on this,
1:17:14
but all right, yeah, we do have a lot of dub skis.
1:17:17
Yeah, no, I'm good with that. I'm good with that. I'm
1:17:21
okay, all right, So y'all heard it here board bet Cayron Williams.
1:17:26
I say Kyra Williams has more Fantasy points to end the season. Oh,
1:17:30
I say Cayrol Williams finishes higher in Fantasy football than Devon Chen at the end
1:17:35
of the season. Does okay, just overall Fantasy points correct? Overall overall
1:17:42
Fantasy points PPR correct? Yes, okay, if you don't, if you
1:17:45
don't play PPR, what the are you doing? Bro? What are you
1:17:48
doing? This part? It ain't for you? Yes? And then injuries
1:17:51
there are they are included correct injuries. Injuries okay, so it okay,
1:17:58
okay, we'll say this. If they they missed more than more than what
1:18:01
about five games, the bet would have to go off. But I can
1:18:06
see both of them missing more than five. Yeah. Yeah, they play
1:18:11
the same amount of games. If they play the same amount of game,
1:18:13
you're still gonna do it. Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, I'm
1:18:15
good with that. But all right, back to it. So number six
1:18:18
for me is going to be sakuon Barkley. For Mekwon Barkley, I just
1:18:24
think this is definitely the best situation he's been in throughout his entire career.
1:18:30
And as far as people saying potentially he fell off, so last season Sekwon
1:18:36
Barkley, he was still an explosive player seventeenth and explosive run rate, and
1:18:42
then his as far as him breaking tackles, he was thirty seventh overall on
1:18:45
that and then thirty three yards after contact or thirty third in yards after contact,
1:18:53
and that's minimum one hundred carries. So he's still easily one of the
1:18:58
best running in the game still. And now you have Jalen Hurts, there,
1:19:02
you have aj Brown, you have DeVonta Smith. You cannot stack the
1:19:05
box against him, and there's gonna be worries as far as with the whole
1:19:11
tush push, as far as oh, well, potentially there's there's Jalen Hurts
1:19:15
still in easily another ten touchdowns. Miles Sanders still finished as a top ten
1:19:23
running back a couple of years ago, with Jalen Hurts still having around twelve
1:19:27
touchdowns, and I think Sakuon Barkley he could easily do that. And obviously
1:19:31
he's a much better running back than what Miles Sanders ever has been. So
1:19:38
obviously this is barring injury here. If this guy stays healthy, he could
1:19:43
easily flirt with being the number one running back in fantasy football. Yeah,
1:19:48
I completely agree. That's why he's number five for me. In Saquon Barkley,
1:19:51
I think this is the best situation is an entire NFL career. The
1:19:56
load is no longer going to be fully on him, He's playing behind a
1:20:00
great offensive line. He's still averaged fifteen point nine points per game last season
1:20:04
being the do or die for the New York Giants and dealing with the high
1:20:08
ankles screen. So I mean, come on, like, dudes never really
1:20:12
had the opportunity to be free on a football field. If I'm gonna make
1:20:15
that make sense, you know, I do think there's a worry for Jalen
1:20:20
Hurts and being next to him. But I do think because Jalen Hurts is
1:20:25
rushing production touchdown wise, Jalan Hurt doesn't get a lot of rushing yards,
1:20:30
but he gets a lot of rushing touchdowns. So that kind of scares the
1:20:31
people away from Saquon Barkley. I kind of get scared a little bit away
1:20:34
from it. But Barkley's better than Miles Sanders. He's better than Boston Scott.
1:20:41
He's better than DeAndre Swift. He's better than these guys. He's for
1:20:45
sure gonna get the first look when it comes to scoring a touchdown at the
1:20:47
goal line. I'm gonna be completely honest with that. It's Saquon freaking Barkley.
1:20:51
I do think his his production will skyrocket from what it did last year.
1:20:56
I can fully expect him being the top being a top two Fantasy football
1:21:00
Fantasy football running back this season. And that's mainly because this is the He's
1:21:06
top talent, he's the top talent, one of the top talents all time,
1:21:10
and he's finally on a team that can compensate for him. Yeah.
1:21:14
So this guy right here, who's the start of the number five for me,
1:21:19
this guy kind of scares me out of everybody in the top five as
1:21:23
far as running back, He's the one that I worry won't be in here,
1:21:28
and that's Jamiir Gibbs, Jamier Gibbs. The main reason why he scares
1:21:31
me is because David Montgomery. And it's not a coincidence that David Montgomery,
1:21:36
whenever he got hurt Jamier Gibbs. He took off and he received all this
1:21:41
volume, and he went on a monster stretch eighteen points, twenty five points,
1:21:45
twenty three points, fifteen points, and then whenever David Montgomery got back
1:21:50
seven points, five points, and then he kind of picked it up.
1:21:55
He got another fifteen to twenty three and twenty but it was up and down
1:21:59
out for that. But as far as if he could still have the same
1:22:04
efficiency and get at least three fourths of the volume he was getting down the
1:22:10
stretch, then he could easily be a top five running back. There's weapons
1:22:14
galore here, but one thing that they do is feed the running backs to
1:22:17
football here. So this is again, this one scares me here. This
1:22:24
one really does scare me here. And I know he's going in the first
1:22:28
rounds or first rounds of fantasy football, but I think he could still be
1:22:33
a top five running back in fantasy football. And I know he did have
1:22:39
ten rushing touchdowns or sixteen overall, or I mean eleven overall. I don't
1:22:45
know why I said sixteen, So there is chances for him to have a
1:22:50
touchdown regression. But I just do think that he is going into the prime
1:22:55
of his career. Usually prime of their career running backs, usually they take
1:23:00
and they have a top five finish. So everything's pointing towards him having a
1:23:03
top five finish. Just David Montgomery's holding him back. Yeah, I explained
1:23:10
that a lot when I went over jimior Gibbs. I completely agree. It's
1:23:13
a little scary to kind of put a lot of stock into him because you
1:23:15
don't know exactly what you're gonna get and this kind of I think, what's
1:23:20
going on to my number four? That kind of scares me a little bit,
1:23:23
and that's Jonathan Taylor. I mean, the train, the hype train
1:23:28
is always going to be there for Jonathan Taylor because of twenty twenty one,
1:23:31
where he averaged nineteen point six points per game. But we can't rely on
1:23:36
twenty twenty one anymore. But let's look at three seasons outside of that,
1:23:40
he's averaged around seventy six rushing yards per game, and three other seasons he
1:23:45
has had twenty four scores in thirty six games in those three seasons. If
1:23:49
healthy, I fully expect JT's finish in the top five, especially, they're
1:23:54
going to look to take away a lot of pressure off of Anthony Richardson.
1:23:58
And that's because Anthony richard they need that. They need that franchise quarterback to
1:24:01
stay healthy, and that's and Jonathan Taylor's the guy to do that. I
1:24:08
do think that there is that fear coming off when people drafting him basically kind
1:24:13
of the consensus number one overall, and he failed a lot of people.
1:24:16
Good thing I didn't fall off of that I traded him away when I did
1:24:19
do that early on for Travis Kelcey and a couple other players in another player.
1:24:26
But I do think he can still work his way into the top five
1:24:30
because he always happens to find the end zone and he's averaged seventy six rushing
1:24:34
yards in his career, and he still has receiving upside being Jonathan Taylor.
1:24:38
So I say, let's let's take another shot, another crack at this guy,
1:24:43
and then maybe next year we'll change our mind. So I'm gonna have
1:24:45
to agree with you here. I have Jonathan Taylor number four, and I
1:24:50
just think he had a mixture of bad luck these past two years. And
1:24:55
I'm not necessarily trying to compare him to Christian McCaffrey, but I think think
1:25:00
this could be somewhat of a similar situation. So Christian McCaffrey after that twenty
1:25:04
nineteen year where he had the number one running back overall, finished those next
1:25:10
two years he had some nagging injuries as far as an ankle injury, a
1:25:14
hamstring injury, a knee injury, where it was just something that wasn't career
1:25:18
ending, it just hurt him fantasy football wise, any dropped down the boards.
1:25:25
He ended up becoming a late first or somewhat second round pick. And
1:25:29
I think this is exactly what's happening to Jonathan Taylor here. And I think
1:25:32
there's a lot of signs of him being able to come back. And the
1:25:36
main reason for that is because I know he had the nagging ankle injury at
1:25:42
first, but whenever he got hurt again, it was a thumb injury.
1:25:45
It wasn't something that was a lower body injury where it could affect him as
1:25:49
far as his long term running back career. And I think just down the
1:25:55
stretch Week seventeen and Week eighteen. I know Week eighteen doesn't matter, but
1:26:00
it shows a pattern of what's gonna happen. He had sixteen Fantasy points and
1:26:03
then he had twenty five fantasy points. So he started to get back into
1:26:08
his rhythm and he finished as a top ten running back in those last two
1:26:12
starts. And I think it's gonna just be a pattern. And like what
1:26:15
I mentioned with Anthony Richardson Shane Stikeen, he likes to run the ball when
1:26:19
they're in the red zone and Anthony Richardson, yes, he's gonna get some
1:26:24
of the pie there, but so was Jonathan Taylor. So you could easily
1:26:28
see Jonathan Taylor ending up with double digit touchdowns here. So that's why he's
1:26:33
number four for me. Yeah, we'running again into number three, and
1:26:38
I think a lot of people are gonna be like no, but Arthur Smith
1:26:43
is no longer there, and Bjeon Robinson is the number three fantasy running back
1:26:47
for me, and it's time to onlaw on on leash. Bjeon Robinson he
1:26:53
had underwhelming rushing production, finishing outside the top fifteen, and then he split
1:26:58
and as dude's splitting kry to Tyler I, which is not gonna happen again.
1:27:00
I guarantee you. I will guarantee you Bjeon does not split carries like
1:27:06
he did last year. He's and then he only and then he and he
1:27:11
finished top But besides this, there's upside here. He finished top five and
1:27:15
routes, targets, yards, and touchdowns of all running backs when it came
1:27:19
to receiving the football, and then he only had two carries inside the five
1:27:24
yard line last season. That's never gonna happen again in Bejeon Robinson's football career.
1:27:30
I guarantee you when they get into the five yard line this year,
1:27:32
the first guy they're gonna look towards is Bjeon Robinson, whether it be receiving
1:27:36
rushing, because he's that threat that they drafted for a reason at the number
1:27:42
six overall pick in the NFL Draft, and then having a new play caller
1:27:47
in Zach Robinson and Kirk Cousins, Bijeon will not go through that again.
1:27:53
He will not go through that again. And again there's not there's not any
1:27:56
more stats I can give you to why it won't happen again, But Arthur
1:28:00
smith spectrum ideas are not here anymore, and he's gonna and Jon Robinson will
1:28:06
finish in the top three running backs for barring injury, for fantasy production this
1:28:12
season. So I have Bjon Robinson here as well. It looks like once
1:28:15
again we're gonna agree with our top three list. But I think, like
1:28:20
you mentioned that key point that you mentioned Zach Robinson being the offensive coordinator now
1:28:26
and where was he at before the Los Angeles Rams. I don't know if
1:28:30
anybody knows. Yeah, those connections there. As far as you saw Williams,
1:28:38
yeah you could see something. As far as with Bjon Robinson entering the
1:28:43
prime of his career, everything is clicking in the right direction. You have
1:28:45
all the weapons besides you, Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and you have
1:28:49
a more than competent enough quarterback and easily, in my opinion, a top
1:28:55
ten offensive line. So everything is pointing in the right direction. And Bjon,
1:29:00
like you were saying, he was there whenever he got the ball,
1:29:02
he showed what he could really do. It's just it's just a matter of
1:29:06
is he gonna receive Yeah, is he gonna receive the workload? And I
1:29:12
think that's gonna happen this year. I feel like it's it's gonna happen.
1:29:16
I am. I'm guaranteeing it, just like you did. I'm guaranteeing it.
1:29:21
I think bearing any injury d Jon Robinson will bare minimum be a top
1:29:28
three running back in fantasy football. Yep, and I think we're gonna have
1:29:30
the same top two. Number two for me is gonna be Breeze Hall.
1:29:35
What ACL injury there was, It's like it never happened. Yeah, pretty
1:29:41
suyear. Twenty and a half touches in thirteen in his final thirteen games,
1:29:45
twenty point two points per game in his final thirteen games. Insane, and
1:29:50
he faced I believe one of most the most some of the most stacked boxes
1:29:56
in the entire NFL. His offensive line was incompetent. They weren't existing.
1:30:01
Having Aaron Rodgers a better offensive line is gonna improve Breese Hall so much because
1:30:11
he's not gonna see any more stacked boxes. They're gonna respect Aaron Rodgers's arm,
1:30:15
They're gonna respect Garrett Wilson on the outside. They're gonna respect Mike Mike
1:30:17
Williams. They're gonna respect Alan Lazard. They're gonna fully invest into guarding whatever
1:30:25
Aaron Rodgers does. That Breese Hall is gonna shine once again. I don't.
1:30:30
I do think he can have the same production and more going into next
1:30:34
season, especially being more recovered from an ACL injury. This guy I just
1:30:40
think the upside is completely there for Breese Hall and you, and I'm not
1:30:43
saying you're definitely gonna have to play pay a premium price for Breese Hall,
1:30:46
but if you do get him, you should be lucky to have him on
1:30:49
your fantasy football team. So can I go on a victory lap real quick?
1:30:55
Josh? Huh? Sure? Okay, So last year I was told
1:31:00
all last year when I bought into the Breeze Hall stock, that he was
1:31:04
not the number one running back, that the ACL injury was going to get
1:31:08
to him, even though all the signs showed that he was going to be
1:31:13
one of the better running backs, and he ended up winning me fantasy championships,
1:31:17
multiple fantasy championships. And I think he's going to do the exact same
1:31:23
thing this year. And like you mentioned, Aaron Rodgers being there, Tyron
1:31:28
Smith being there, one of the best left tackles still to this day,
1:31:30
in Alo Fashanu. Who's going to be the left guard? I believe,
1:31:34
so at least you have one side of the offensive line that is actually secure.
1:31:40
You could run to one side of the damn or one side. Yeah,
1:31:43
you could run to the left side, but I think that the only
1:31:47
thing that may not continue from this is as far as his receiving output.
1:31:54
I don't think there's gonna be any chance in the world that he's going to
1:31:58
receive ninety five targets potentially seventy six catches. I know Aaron Rodgers used to
1:32:03
throw the ball to his running backs, but I don't think at this high
1:32:06
of a clip. But I think that he will have more touchdowns nine touchdowns
1:32:13
and all the volume that he had. I think that could easily be anywhere
1:32:18
from what he had nine total to anywhere around the twenty range. He could
1:32:23
be threatening around the twenties. And I think early prediction he could be up
1:32:28
there as far as offensive player of the year. I think he's that much
1:32:31
of a talent in my opinion. And this number one pretty predictable. Go
1:32:39
ahead. It's Christian McCaffrey. And I'm not explaining anything. He's Christian McCaffrey.
1:32:45
Yeah, Like, I don't know what you want me to say,
1:32:46
Like there's nothing offensive player of the year, number one running back when healthy
1:32:56
reception king, I don't know, Like Christi McCaffrey arguably number one overall draft
1:33:02
pick him or Tyree Chrisidi, whoever, you want to go with at at
1:33:09
number one. The Ezekiel Elliott disrespect is crazy. Yeah, if Zeke stayed
1:33:15
healthy, I would be making an argument for Zeke. But Zeke I hate
1:33:21
that. He's not that guy no more. But Christian McCaffrey is. Yeah,
1:33:28
yeah, no, Christian McCaffrey. Again, there's nothing much you can
1:33:31
say. The only thing you can say is he's on the Madden cover.
1:33:35
That's pretty much the only thing you could say. San Francisco, perfect situation
1:33:40
for him. Kyle Shanahan likes to run the hell out of the ball.
1:33:43
Efficiency was there, There's no sign of him slowing down. He did or
1:33:47
he is the age of thirty, but that's not going to matter. So
1:33:51
Christian McCaffrey, McCaffrey easily the number one running back, and I think there's
1:33:57
a big gap between number one and number two. I just think it's that
1:34:01
damn good if he stays healthy. So all right, we have honorable mentions
1:34:08
here. Who's one of your honorable mentions as far as the top ten running
1:34:12
back? Top ten running back? So I just think honorable mention because I
1:34:17
didn't really do honorable mention. I just made my list. I mean,
1:34:21
off the top of my dome. I guess we can go with de Vaughan
1:34:25
Ahen for one of my honorable mentions. I do think he does have that
1:34:29
upside to have big games. He's just like, it's just the injuries are
1:34:32
there. I don't know, he did struggle with them quite a bit.
1:34:38
And then I'm gonna have to go with another. Let me think, I
1:34:42
guess there's Joe Mixing. I mean he kind of sold off. I got
1:34:45
one for you. Hey, maybe Aaron Jones could be an honorable mention this
1:34:50
year, going to Minnesota, taking the pressure off of J. J.
1:34:54
McCarthy, where he doesn't have to rely on his arm too much. I
1:34:57
think that's who I might go with, or even a Mere White out of
1:35:00
Las Vegas. That's pretty high on this year. I do think he closes
1:35:06
he'son not pretty good. He had like twenty four and a half Fantasy points
1:35:10
in one game. Yeah, I believe he averaged around nineteen points to end
1:35:15
his final four games. He handled the production, I believe, getting up
1:35:18
to twenty four carries in one game, and I do think if he can
1:35:21
kind of have some good production, I think I do think I can see
1:35:26
him finishing in the top fifteen this year for sure. So one guy I
1:35:31
think could finish easily a top ten running back I think James Cook here.
1:35:35
I think ever since Joe Mighty he took over. I think I know there's
1:35:41
a bunch of running backs back there in that backfield. I know it's kind
1:35:44
of scary, but I just think just down the stretch from week eleven to
1:35:48
week eighteen, he was averaging almost twenty touches a game and I believe around
1:35:54
one hundred and five total yards a game. So I just think there's that
1:35:59
chance right there. And then Josh Allen, he he likes to throw the
1:36:03
ball to the running backs, especially. You just have key On Coleman there.
1:36:08
You could mention Curtis Samuel, you could mention Khali Sekure, but even
1:36:13
Dalton Kinkaid, I think that at bare minimum he's the number three on that
1:36:17
team, and he could end up with over a thousand rushing yards and you
1:36:21
can end up with over fifty catches, which could lead you and stumble you
1:36:26
into a top ten running back finish. And that's just my opinion. But
1:36:31
all right, which one did you want to do next? Did you want
1:36:35
to do tight end or receiver? Next, we can do wide receiver,
1:36:40
wide receiver, all right, all right, so you want to go first
1:36:43
or you want me to go first, you can go first for this one.
1:36:45
Okay, so number ten right here. I know nobody's gonna like this
1:36:50
pick right here, But in my opinion, I think Drake London he's gonna
1:36:56
have finally the breakout year that we've been expecting. Drake London. He finally
1:37:00
has himself a competent quarterback in Kirk Cousins, and he's received the targets over
1:37:06
these past two years. He's received over one hundred targets these past two years,
1:37:11
and I think that he's finally gonna take advantage of that. And even
1:37:15
though he has not had the best Fantasy football season, there still has been
1:37:21
flashes as far as him being one of the better receivers in the league.
1:37:26
I know it's a premium price that you're having to pay for Drake London as
1:37:30
of right now. I know he's going around the second round range. But
1:37:34
we see what Kirk Cousins he does with his wide receivers. He makes them
1:37:40
into a top ten receiver easily, and I think that's gonna happen. And
1:37:46
then I feel like it's all all signs are pointing to positive regression. I'm
1:37:51
just high on the Atlanta Falcons this year, and I just think what Drake
1:37:55
London can do, it could lead him to being a top ten wide receiver.
1:37:59
Yeah, for me, one of my honorable mentions. For sure,
1:38:00
I get, I get, I'm over, I'm jumping. But for me,
1:38:04
he's definitely one of my honorable mentions. But for me number ten,
1:38:08
I'm gonna go with Mike Evans. I get the age age thirty one season,
1:38:11
we're getting up to it. But he had his third most receiving yards
1:38:15
last season, and he he finished seventh overall in Fantasy points for wide receivers,
1:38:25
which is insane to do. And then he had his second highest touchdown
1:38:30
touchdown, second highest touchdown output of his entire career. So having the Bake
1:38:36
Show really re re re informed everyone of how good Mike Evans was because last
1:38:47
year the disrespect was insane. I got Mike Evans in like Round nine last
1:38:53
year, Like that's not happening again this year. I guarantee it. He's
1:38:57
going for sure in the top five round and at worst he's gonna be a
1:39:03
good wide receiver too. At worst and he's still going to be a starter
1:39:06
on your team week in and week out. Yeah, I could definitely see
1:39:11
that happening. My only concern for him as as far as the offensive coordinator,
1:39:17
Yeah, the offensive coordinator leaving to Carolina to become the head coach,
1:39:21
where usually the quarterback kind of falls off efficiency wise. But he was one
1:39:28
of my honorable mentions too, So that's one that you could flip flop.
1:39:31
But number nine right here, it's gonna be something that we're not used to
1:39:36
seeing as far as rookie wide receivers being in the top ten, being projected
1:39:42
so early to become a great receiver off the gates, and that's Marvin Harrison
1:39:47
Junior. I think Marvin Harrison Junior as far as if you wanted a rookie
1:39:51
wide receiver to go in a perfect position, it's the Arizona Cardinals. You
1:39:57
have one of the best quarterbacks in the league with Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison.
1:40:02
He's the clear number one there, even though Trey McBride was there,
1:40:06
even though James Connor he is there, even though Michael Wilson he is there.
1:40:11
I just think that Marvin Harrison Junior, he could easily receive over one
1:40:15
hundred targets this year and end up with about eighty catches and somewhere around seven
1:40:21
eight touchdowns. I just think this guy, he's a generational talent. And
1:40:27
sometimes you don't have to wait till they get into their second or third year
1:40:30
for them to pop off. Sometimes they do with their rookie year, and
1:40:33
I think that's exactly what's gonna happen. Yeah, for me, I'm going
1:40:36
with another old guy age thirty one season at number nine. I'm gonna go
1:40:40
with Devonte Adams. I understand he opened the season with two twenty plus point
1:40:45
games and then there is a drop off, and that's mainly due to Josh
1:40:47
McDaniels being an incompetate head coach. But as soon as Antonio Pierce became the
1:40:54
head coach, he finished strong. He had the highest target share in the
1:40:59
entire NFL with thirty six point four percent of all targets, and he kind
1:41:03
of just reminded like, hey, I'm still here. I'm still that guy.
1:41:08
I do think having another season, especially having Gardner Minshew at quarterback,
1:41:12
is a lot better than having Aid and O'Connell at quarterback. I do think
1:41:15
for the RAS, and especially for DeVante Adams, I do think he's gonna
1:41:18
get back to wide receiver one form and I fully expect him to be on
1:41:24
a couple of championship rosters this year. So I would agree with Devonte Adams.
1:41:30
It's just I find them hard putting them over some of these guys right
1:41:32
here. And one of these guys is Pooka Nakula. I think Poka Nakula.
1:41:38
It's obviously some way that we didn't expect. But I think with Cooper
1:41:42
Cup being back not dealing with a hamstring issue like he did before the season
1:41:46
started, I think it's gonna affect him a little bit. And we talked
1:41:50
about this before. As far as Pooka Nakula Cooper Cup, there's probably gonna
1:41:56
be about six. There's probably gonna be about six hundred and fifty US receiving
1:42:00
yard games, and I see the split probably going four to Pukah and two
1:42:04
to Cooper Cup. And then obviously you still have Kien Williams there and now
1:42:09
you have Blake Korum there, so there's just gonna be more mouths to feed
1:42:14
there. And I just think that even though he did receive good volume with
1:42:20
Cooper Cup there. I just think I just think at the end of the
1:42:25
day, there's gonna be a little bit of a regression because it's kind of
1:42:29
hard to repeat what you did your rookie year and having one hundred and sixty
1:42:34
targets, I could see that going down to about one five. So obviously
1:42:40
that's less opportunities. And look at it, he was averaging about fourteen yards
1:42:45
a catch, so that's that's just insane stats right there. So I see
1:42:50
a little bit of a drop off, but still being the number eight wide
1:42:53
receiver. Yeah. For me, I have Pukunakua at number eight. Also,
1:42:59
the product was insane last year, and much like Kyraen Williams, I
1:43:02
expect to drop off just a little bit, but he's the clear number one.
1:43:06
Now. I get Cooper Cup is still there. I understand one of
1:43:11
the best receivers that we've seen in a long time, but the injuries just
1:43:14
keep catching up to him. It's just it's just not it's just something that
1:43:17
we have to identify and just kind of accept, especially Cooper Cup. No
1:43:23
one hates Cooper Cup, but I do think coming off a season where you
1:43:28
set both NFL receiving and and yards record for rookie, for a rookie,
1:43:33
I do think that's a lot to be on set, and especially last year.
1:43:36
I understand the targets were there, but having six hundred thirty nine yards
1:43:41
after the catch, that that that's good production that you want from a from
1:43:45
a wide receiver. He's gonna he's gonna fight for yards. He's gonna get
1:43:48
there. And I do think Puku Naku can not replicate what he did last
1:43:51
year, but get close. I do think if Cooper Cooper cup is healthy,
1:43:58
it's gonna be hard to get to that. But I do think he
1:44:00
can do maybe eighty percent of that, seventy five percent of that, and
1:44:05
I'm still taking Pukunakua if he does do that. Yeah, Okay, So
1:44:12
number seven right here, I have mister aj Brown, and I think a
1:44:16
bunch of people for people forgot. I'll let you piggyback off of this.
1:44:20
I'll just read this one stat. I think plenty of people forgot. From
1:44:25
weeks three all the way to week eight, he had over one hundred and
1:44:30
twenty five receiving yards a game. He is clearly the number one on this
1:44:33
Philadelphia Eagles team. And you bring an even better running back in in saekuon
1:44:39
Barkley. I feel like with the Eagles specifically, this really doesn't hurt them
1:44:44
because they they're going to keep the same style of play. But you're just
1:44:47
bringing more guys into the box and having AJ Brown one on one that's just
1:44:51
going to lead to disaster for the other defense. So I think AJ Brown
1:44:58
he is still easily going to to be one of the best fantasy football wide
1:45:01
receivers. And he's still finished eighth overall, So that's a damn good season.
1:45:06
But I'll let you piggyback. Yeah, I think for me a lot
1:45:11
of what you said is true. You know, he had that good start
1:45:14
to the season the first half of the season. The thing is he does
1:45:16
have a first start. He has a good start to every first half of
1:45:19
the season. He usually plays. I just think I want to see it
1:45:21
more going into the second half of the season, and then this will surely
1:45:26
put catapul him into a top five easily wide receiver for fantasy in the NFL.
1:45:32
He's already one of the best receivers in the NFL. Is just can
1:45:35
that production continue over a whole seventeen game season, sixteen games, fourteen games,
1:45:42
there's no guarantee someone plays all seventeen games, but if he can do
1:45:45
that for fourteen games, I'll fully take that investment too. Aj Brown.
1:45:49
That's why I have him here at seven because he has such a strong upside
1:45:54
to even be a potential first round choice that he can easily work his way
1:46:00
up to being a top three receiver in fantasy. But the production has to
1:46:04
be consistent in the entirety of the season. Yeah, I agree with you.
1:46:11
Just production. That's been his main problem even in Tennessee too, because
1:46:15
he would have these breakout games. It was just a matter of him stringing
1:46:19
them together on a consistent basis. But as far as with this next guy
1:46:24
here, I think which we're gonna have the same It's gonna be Garrett Wilson.
1:46:29
Garrett Wilson. The main reason for this is that he has Aaron Rodgers
1:46:33
back. Aaron Rodgers. He loves to force feed his number one wide receivers,
1:46:40
and I just think after last year, you still finished twenty sixth overall
1:46:46
as far as wide receivers, and you had Zach Wilson as your quarterback,
1:46:50
You've still had over one thousand yards receiving receiving and then you had ninety five
1:46:57
catches, So I feel like that's going to be the floor for him with
1:47:00
Aaron Rodgers, and it could only be higher. So I feel like you
1:47:04
could expect if Aaron Aaron Rodgers plays maybe another ten to fifteen catches and another
1:47:14
twelve thirteen hundred yards and definitely more than three touchdowns here. Yeah, I
1:47:19
totally agree. At number six, I have Garrett Wilson. Also, he's
1:47:23
still he maintained receiving nine receptions, receiving nine targets per game even without Aaron
1:47:28
Rodgers. So with Aaron Rodgers in nine, I believe it jumps twelve targets
1:47:32
per game. With an Aaron Rodgers, he's going to for speed his number
1:47:34
one receiver every single time. And plus, despite being without a good quarterback
1:47:43
in his entirety of his career, he's had nineteen hundred yards and one hundred
1:47:46
and fifty nine receptions in his first two seasons. That's insane work for a
1:47:50
player that's having a struggle with just having a struggle to create his own and
1:47:56
if he can replicate this this production and then some with Aaron Rodgers, there's
1:48:02
no reason Garrett Wilson should not be on anyone's radar. Yeah, and somebody
1:48:08
who I kind of feel like is falling down people's radar because these four guys
1:48:14
ahead of him, they're probably gonna get a lot more buzz is Justin Jefferson.
1:48:18
Justin Jefferson, this guy could easily be argued as a number one receiver.
1:48:25
But for the opposite reason of Garrett Wilson. It's because we have an
1:48:29
unsure quarterback here. Is it gonna be Sam Donald, Is it gonna be
1:48:32
jj McCarthy. It's very up in the air, and we don't know how
1:48:38
good these quarterbacks are gonna be. As far as what he was doing when
1:48:42
he was on the field, he was amazing. Just his last his last
1:48:46
game, Week eighteen, he finished with twenty four Fantasy points. So this
1:48:51
is a guy that he's gonna put up fantasy points no matter what. But
1:48:57
just as far as whose quarterback is that kind of put potentially cap his sale
1:49:00
and compare to these other guys who have better quarterbacks, Yeah, I definitely
1:49:06
have. I have just sujudged in that five as well. I just think
1:49:10
Justin Jefferson, no matter what quarterback you put back there, he's gonna get
1:49:13
his It's just it's not Justin Jefferson's fault while he's number five. It's the
1:49:18
unknowing of who JJ McCarthy is as a quarterback that kind of shies me away
1:49:24
a little bit. I'm still gonna draft him if he okay, if Alma
1:49:28
was there, I'm not drafting Jefferson, but Justin Jefferson. If he does
1:49:31
follow me, I'll still probably take the take the take the shot on him
1:49:35
because he's easily gonna give you wide receiver one production if it does work out,
1:49:40
easily gonna be the number one wide receiver. He's already I think,
1:49:43
in my opinion, the best wide receiver in all of football and in fantasy
1:49:46
football. If he can create that rapport with the Sam darnld JJ McCarthy that
1:49:51
we have the unknown of, I do think it's still gonna make a production
1:49:58
for this for him being a top receiver in the entire NFL fantasy wise,
1:50:03
it's just I want to see it before I can believe it, you know,
1:50:09
So number four I have right here. I know this guy killed a
1:50:14
lot of people in drafts, especially people who drafted him within the top three
1:50:19
because they were projecting, which I include myself as the same, but I
1:50:25
have I have Jamar Chase here number four, and before before people log off
1:50:31
of or get off of this podcast, just let me explain. No,
1:50:38
Jamar Chase still finished as a top ten wide receiver last year in PPR after
1:50:45
a horrendous ending Week fourteen six points, Week fifteen ten points, didn't play
1:50:50
against Pittsburgh seven points and then six points to close off the season. But
1:50:56
you also have to take into account that Joe Burrow he did not play half
1:51:00
of this season, and at the very beginning he was not that healthy.
1:51:06
You saw him hit stride. Whenever Joe Burrow started to hit his rhythm.
1:51:12
From Week three all the way to week ten, he was he was on
1:51:16
a stretch twenty six points, fourteen points, fifty two points, fifteen points,
1:51:20
twenty five points, then a little bit of a down or eight points
1:51:24
and twenty three points. So he still has that amazing upside there. It's
1:51:29
just a matter of if Joe Burrow can stay healthy, he's going to get
1:51:32
force fed the ball and he's going to finish as a top five wide receiver.
1:51:36
If Joe Burrow is there, yep for me number four, to a
1:51:42
surprise of many, it's going to be Amorros Sainbray what he should be higher,
1:51:45
you know. But the thing is that kind of shies me away from
1:51:49
having a little bit higher. Is just the mouths that have to be fed
1:51:53
in Detroit, you know, David Montgomery, Jamiir gibbs, a, Sam
1:51:57
Laporta, even Jamison Williams if he comes into what he's supposed to be.
1:52:00
Donovan Peoples Jones being there now, who's also a good receiver in his own
1:52:03
right. He's still finished last season top five in every statistical wide receiver category.
1:52:11
He posted the most games in the top twenty last year. Tyreek Hill
1:52:16
was the only one who finished seventh or better more times than he did.
1:52:19
So see the ceiling. The floor for Almanoe Saint Brown's top five no matter
1:52:25
what, because that's just the type of receiver he is. He does everything
1:52:28
the correct way. He's a due it all receiver. But the ceiling is
1:52:32
outstanding for Almanoe Saint Brown because he could definitely receive more red zone targets,
1:52:39
he could definitely receive more touchdowns. So taking Almanas Saint Brown, I think
1:52:45
in any position is still and I'm gonna hurt myself, but it's just it's
1:52:50
just gonna it's good for your football team draft Alminros Saint Brown to your fantasy
1:52:56
It's just it's just the way it is because he he shows production receiving touchdowns
1:53:00
and yards and what more can you ask for a number one receiver in fantasy?
1:53:03
Yep. And I'm gonna piggyback off of this because he's my third rated
1:53:09
receiver here. I'm on Ross Saint Brown. Like you mentioned, I feel
1:53:13
like this guy he has the best floor out of anybody because I feel like
1:53:17
he's he's just one of those guys guaranteed eighteen points. Yeah, he's somebody
1:53:24
who when I had him, I had him in a couple of leagues last
1:53:28
year. You know how you have to worry about some players. You're like,
1:53:30
I wonder if this player is gonna do good. I wonder if this
1:53:32
player is gonna deliver. But I'm on the same Brown like you're, Like
1:53:36
you said, guaranteed eighteen points and down the stretch twenty four points, twenty
1:53:42
eight points, twenty two points, twenty seven points. This guy, no
1:53:46
matter what it is, if maybe if he's not catching touchdowns, there'll be
1:53:50
receptions there. If the receptions are not there, the yards are there or
1:53:54
the touchdowns are there. He always finds a way to deliver Fantasy football wise,
1:54:00
and he is one of the best receivers. And I know there's a
1:54:01
lot of mouse to feed there, but he just got a contract there,
1:54:05
which I believe it's thirty million a year, so they're gonna force feed him
1:54:10
the ball with his own or within that right. And he had one hundred
1:54:15
and sixty targets last year. I could see that being the same or potentially
1:54:18
even more, even though Jamison Williams is there or Donovan Peoples Jones is there.
1:54:25
Yeah, for me, number three is gonna be Jamar Chase, just
1:54:28
like for a lot of the reasons you said right before this, I just
1:54:31
do think Jamar Chase has that bigger upside for sure, just through the big
1:54:35
playability taking the top off the defense. He has twenty nine total touchdowns in
1:54:41
his career, which is by far more than aminall because Jamar Chase is a
1:54:46
big play waiting to happen. He dealt with a lot of injuries last year,
1:54:50
but you did talk about that stretch where he did contribute tremendously. He
1:54:56
can do that game in and game out because he's Jamar Chase. You know,
1:55:00
there's not very many receivers who have had a better opening to a career.
1:55:03
We can put them in the categories with Odell, with Justin Jefferson,
1:55:08
with Randy Moss. You know, he's had that type of production to start
1:55:12
an NFL season and Pooka and then there's no reason he can replicate that if
1:55:18
he stays healthy, because he's been nothing short of productive his entire NFL career.
1:55:23
That fifty two point two performance wasn't a fluke. That's just what he
1:55:26
can do. Yeah, and okay, I believe that we have the same
1:55:30
top two here, So I'm gonna go ahead and list my number two,
1:55:35
so you could just pick, well, hold on, I thought we did.
1:55:39
Minds flipped yours is flipped. Oh okay, okay, yeah, so
1:55:44
number two right here, I have Tyreek Hill here. Tyreek Hill obviously he
1:55:49
had a monster season. He started off the season great, and he kind
1:55:54
of tailed off towards the end, not necessarily that he had a bad Fantasy
1:55:58
Football or the chance stretch, but I think that he could easily repeat this,
1:56:08
even though there's still Jail and Wattle there, even though devon Ah Chang
1:56:12
Raheem Moser, they're there. He's gonna he's gonna be force fed the ball,
1:56:15
and Mike McDaniel he's gonna find a way to scheme Tyreek Hill into easily
1:56:21
another one hundred and forty hundred and fifty targets. And I just think that
1:56:28
as far as what he did, that's something that's very sustainable and I could
1:56:32
see that easily being repeated again for Tyreek Hill. Yeah, for me.
1:56:35
Number two with Ceedee Lamb, See, Lamb was nothing short particiously for any
1:56:42
for anyone. Last season. He had took three hundred and thirteen point six
1:56:47
Fantasy points in his final eleven games alone. That's an average of twenty eight
1:56:51
and a half fantasy points per game, which is unheard of. It's insane.
1:56:56
So, like you said that, for the regression, I do think
1:56:59
it will happen, but not to be an extent where Ceedee Lamb's on a
1:57:02
top two, top even number one wide receiver option at the fantasy position,
1:57:08
it's just hard to replicate that type of production year in and year out.
1:57:13
But I just I just don't see him not doing some type of that again
1:57:20
this season. And that's why I do think that you can take the flyer
1:57:24
at number one overall position, or you can even just if if he's able
1:57:28
to foll to you at that in the top five, you could take him.
1:57:30
Ceede Lamb's there, he's gonna produce for you. But I just think
1:57:35
the guy above him is just so much more consistent year in year out that
1:57:39
you have to take him number one, especially after what he's been able to
1:57:42
do the last two seasons. Well, I'll say this where you could kind
1:57:47
of argue Tyrek Hill, which I get that he's had more opportunities to prove
1:57:51
himself, but for sure, I think I think Ceedee Lamb he's number one
1:57:57
for me obviously, And I just it's not like we're just splitting hairs here
1:58:01
as far as who's the number one receiver. It's just if he didn't have
1:58:08
this bat of a stretch from week one all the way to week five,
1:58:13
then you could argue, as far as one of the greatest wide receiver seasons
1:58:17
in a while, you could say it would be better than a Cooper Cup
1:58:20
because he was close to the triple Crown numbers already as it is. And
1:58:28
I just think that this offense, it's gonna be a real air raid offense
1:58:32
with Dak Prescott there. I already mentioned that with Dak as far as no
1:58:36
real running back threat for them to run the ball, they averaged seven more
1:58:42
passing attempts a game since Week eight when ceed Lamb took off. So I
1:58:47
think this is just gonna be a full season unleashing CD Lamb. And he's
1:58:51
on a contract year, so you gotta watch out for that. And you
1:58:55
know wide receivers on contract years, they usually ball out. Yeah, for
1:58:59
me, number one is gonna be Tyree, you know, fighting for two
1:59:01
thousand yards the last two seasons, average twenty three and a half points per
1:59:05
game. In every single game this season he was for me. I had
1:59:10
him in my in my own league in a fourteen man. It was a
1:59:14
glorious feeling having Tyreek Hill on your team, especially in a fourteen man,
1:59:17
just knowing you're gonna have a solid output from one of your players, you
1:59:20
know, because it gets it gets a little tough out there, you know
1:59:25
in a fourteen man. But yeah, it's just splitting hairs with him in
1:59:30
Cite Lamb. I think it's even splitting hairs with some of the guys underneath,
1:59:32
you know, it's just they all have the floor. They're gonna have
1:59:35
their floor. It's just some guys are gonna outweigh in certain weeks and these
1:59:43
Having Tyreek Hill and Cede Lamb as your as your options at that number one
1:59:45
spot is gonna be a tough decision to make regardless. Yeah, So all
1:59:51
right, we got done with that wide receivers. We're already reaching this two
1:59:57
hour mark right here, so we're gonna speed it up a little bit as
2:00:00
far as with the tight ends here. No disrespect to the tight ends here,
2:00:03
just just I know they're not as valuable outside of the top five because
2:00:10
there's kind of a regression. So let's start from number one here, because
2:00:15
this is where it's interesting. I know we have a difference here, So
2:00:19
go ahead and list your top five. Number one for me is gonna be
2:00:23
Sam Laporta. I do think him and Jared Goff built that connection immediately.
2:00:30
He ranked in the top five and routes, targets, receptions, receiving yards,
2:00:33
touchdowns, in zone, any statistical category for receiving. He was in
2:00:36
the top five for tight ends. I believe he broke the NFL record for
2:00:42
receptions as a rookie. As a tight end even I think even yards also
2:00:46
so, and he finished second on the team in targets here, which is
2:00:49
only behind Aman Ross Saint Brown. I do I don't. I don't think
2:00:53
there's any reason why he wouldn't replicate that, especially with no emergence of Jamison
2:00:57
Williams, and we don't know what we're really going to get outside of that.
2:01:00
Wise, I think I just think it's guaranteed for San Report to finish
2:01:04
in the top three, even number one spot for tight ends next season.
2:01:10
So number one I have right here. You guys need to draft him immediately.
2:01:15
Potentially number one overall is Darren Waller. Darren Waller is gonna be That's
2:01:20
gonna be, Okay, Darren Waller, Okay, all jokes aside. The
2:01:29
number one tight end this year is gonna be Trey mcbreezy, Trey McBride.
2:01:32
If you guys do not know who this is, you guys are definitely gonna
2:01:36
know who it is or who he is this year. This guy is someone
2:01:42
late in the season who was a target monster for Kyler Murray and they built
2:01:45
a rapport eighty one receptions and then eight hundred and twenty five yards three touchdowns.
2:01:51
I know that doesn't seem as much. But one thing that I mentioned
2:01:55
a lot is the touchdown regression or positive regress, and I just think that
2:02:01
Trey McBride he's gonna easily eclipse the thousand yard mark. And I could see
2:02:05
this or see him going from three touchdowns to double digit touchdowns and which tight
2:02:12
ends you need about that eight or nine range and you'll easily be the tight
2:02:15
end one. So that's why Trey McBride he's number one for me. Yeah
2:02:19
for me, yeah, go ahead for me. Number two it's Travis Kelsey.
2:02:28
He's been He's the golden standard for tight end and greatest tight end to
2:02:31
ever live walk the face of the planet. I get it. I understand,
2:02:34
y'a don't want to hear that. I hear it every day in my
2:02:36
mind because it's true, you know. So Yeah, I feel like a
2:02:44
lot of his production last year died down, and it was kind of disappointing
2:02:46
because you did pay a premium drafting him in the first round because there was
2:02:50
that big old dip, and it's understandable. Last year just the production of
2:02:55
the receivers just weren't there. So it was just Travis Kelcey We're gonna double
2:02:59
TEAMU, triple TEAMU every single play, take you away. And he had
2:03:02
his hardest time last season as a tight end. And I just do think
2:03:05
this year having Exavier Worthy, we I've said it. You know, it's
2:03:10
gonna wpen up the field for everybody. So you know with that, Travis
2:03:14
kelcey is gonna get back to his old form. I don't know if he's
2:03:16
he's not the same guy athletically, but getting eleven hundred yards, twelve hundred
2:03:20
yards and nine touchdowns ten touchdowns from your tight end, that's amazing work.
2:03:26
So Travis Kelce's floor is that, and I think he will get that.
2:03:30
So draft him, you know so, And you don't have to pay expensive
2:03:33
for him this year. Right now in mock drafts, he's going even in
2:03:36
round four this season, so you're paying. It's not it's a bargain deal
2:03:43
to get Travis kelce this season. And he's number two for me. So
2:03:46
number two for me is gonna have to be Mark Andrews here. And I
2:03:50
know Mark Andrews. Mark Andrews, he is coming off of a major injury,
2:03:56
but I just think that but he returned me. Yeah, he's going
2:04:00
to return he was, or there was even rumors that he was going to
2:04:02
return in the conference championship, So there's no real concern as far as him
2:04:08
with a missing training camp orference. You know, that would have been a
2:04:12
difference. You know, you know, is Zay Flowers knew how to hold
2:04:16
on to the football. Anyways, anyways, lost me a damn bet.
2:04:21
But anyways, Mark Andrews, he's somebody who's a consistent tight end, and
2:04:29
not necessarily that he's up there with the Travis Kelce, but as far as
2:04:31
you know, this guy is going to get a certain amount of targets,
2:04:35
a certain amount of catches on a year to year basis, in a game
2:04:40
to game basis, and I could see easily after what he was showing last
2:04:46
year in this passing or air raid offense that he could be somewhat an even
2:04:51
better tight end than what he was before because they spread the ball out more
2:04:57
often than not. And then he had six touches sounds in a matter of
2:05:01
I believe it was nine games, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, nine
2:05:05
games. So that's a definitely good efficiency. And as far as as far
2:05:15
as Zay Flowers being there, Derek Henry being there, I just feel like
2:05:18
that opens up the field for him more and he's gonna get more opportunities.
2:05:21
He's number two for me. Yeah, Mark Andrews is gonna be number three
2:05:27
for me. He's still in his prime. Let's not get that wrong.
2:05:30
The injury did derail him this year. He was still averaging around thirteen points
2:05:34
per game this season. He did see fourteen red zone targets, so he
2:05:39
was still producing. It's just you get hit with unfortunate situations, and he
2:05:45
did get hit with the injury last season. I think he was on pace
2:05:47
to be the number one tight end and fantasy last season before injury, and
2:05:53
then Tam laport Is just skyrocketed away. You know. I think it was
2:05:57
eventually gonna happen for Sam Laporta anyways, because if they would have both stayed
2:06:00
healthy. But Mark Andrews nothing but consistency. He's always been the number two
2:06:06
behind Travis Kelce a year in and year out. And now we just have
2:06:10
more options. But if you take Mark Andrews, you're still getting that tight
2:06:14
end Premium one for sure. So number three right here, I was deciding
2:06:20
between Laporta and Travis Kelce, and I'm gonna have to say Travis kelce here.
2:06:26
I think Travis Kelcey for all the reasons that you mentioned, he's still
2:06:30
going to receive over one hundred and twenty targets in a season, and he's
2:06:34
going to have at least ninety two hundred of them, and again, he's
2:06:40
not being the number one receiving option in this He may get some double teams
2:06:45
at some point in time, but you have to worry about Marquis Brown,
2:06:48
Rashid Rice and Xavier Worthy and now Isao Pacheco who's looking like a budding star.
2:06:54
So and of course him and Mahomes they have that rapport. So that's
2:06:59
why he's number three for me. And I just want to talk about Laporte,
2:07:01
Sam Laporte a little bit, and he's the biggest guy as far as
2:07:06
that. I feel like he's gonna have touchdown regression because if I'm not mistaken,
2:07:12
he had eleven. Yeah, he had eleven total touchdowns or no,
2:07:15
ten total touchdowns this year, and I just think some of those touchdowns are
2:07:19
going to go to Jamiir Gibb. But I'm Onnross Saint Brown at Jamison Williams
2:07:24
or David Montgomery, so he could have potentially the same amount of targets and
2:07:30
receiving yards, but I could see those touchdown numbers being cut in half,
2:07:33
and as far as tight ends, that could have you going from the number
2:07:38
one tight end all the way to the number four or even all the way
2:07:42
down to a six tight end. So that's why he's number four for me.
2:07:45
Yeah, for me, it's gonna be Treymick bride I definitely am high
2:07:49
on train Mick bride out. I'm probably gonna take him above Mark Andrews just
2:07:54
because I like Tramming Bright as the player. Like he's very productive. There's
2:07:59
a reason why he's the blue bulleting a cough winner. In college, he
2:08:01
just had a slower start because zach Ertz was still there his rookie year.
2:08:07
But last season one hundred eight receptions, one hundred eighty one reception, one
2:08:13
hundred and eight targets, eight hundred and twenty five yards, he really emerged
2:08:18
and built up a rapport with Kyler Murray. He saw he saw five end
2:08:22
zone looks when when Kyri Kyler Murray came back and a catchway of eighty percent
2:08:26
he brought in. He doesn't really drop the football, so he is a
2:08:31
playmaker way, and it happened. I do think having Marvin Harrison also is
2:08:35
gonna give him a lot because even last year they had Hollywood Brown, but
2:08:37
Hollywood Brown, up to the point of Trimming Bride's emergence, had already suffered
2:08:43
a season ending injury. So I think Trimming Bride's in for a big breakout
2:08:48
year and he's gonna definitely emerge into this top three, I believe. Yeah.
2:08:52
So, all right, number number five here, I know nobody wants
2:09:00
to hear this. I think we both have the same guy here at number
2:09:03
five. I know there's always my letter mind a little okay, yours is
2:09:07
a little bit later. I know there's always been a hype train around this
2:09:11
guy, and now this year you're probably like, I'm done, I'm over
2:09:15
it. It's like it's like it's like it's like an ex It's like it's
2:09:22
like, I'm over it, I'm done. And the next thing, you
2:09:24
know, that text comes back. It's like, I'm gonna give you another
2:09:28
chance. I'm gonna get mine more than I get got. And this guy
2:09:33
that we're talking about you should know by now it's Kyle Pitts. Kyle Pitts
2:09:37
he's been very underwhelming, Yes he has. But the main reason for him
2:09:43
to have this bounce back year ever since his rookie year is Kirk Cousins.
2:09:52
Kirk Cousins, he always produces for the tight ends, and it's not like
2:09:56
he's falling off a cliff as far as what he's done statistically. He still
2:10:03
is one of the best route runners as far as the tight end and as
2:10:07
far as getting open too. It's just a matter of his quarterbacks throwing him
2:10:11
the ball. That's what's been the problem. And Kirk Cousins, again more
2:10:16
than competent enough quarterback, and we've seen his tight ends finish a top ten
2:10:20
tight end or top five tight end. The last time we saw that was
2:10:24
TJ. Howkinson. So, and I feel like Kyle Pitts has just as
2:10:28
much talent as TJ. Howkinson, if not more so. I finally do
2:10:33
believe Kyle Pitts. He's gonna be worth drafting him in the third or fourth
2:10:39
round. It's gonna happen. It's finally gonna happen. Okay for my number
2:10:43
five. Let me teach y'all a rule when it comes to fantasy football,
2:10:48
no matter what, there's one Golden Rule. Volume is king. Volume is
2:10:54
king. I don't care what your name is. I don't care who you
2:10:58
play for. I don't care where you're from, I don't care what position
2:11:01
you play. If you have volume, if you're getting that ball in your
2:11:05
hands more than everybody else, you get that guy on your team because sooner
2:11:11
or later it turned into big points. And that's evaning. And Evan Ingram
2:11:15
is a fifth tight end for me coming off a season where he had one
2:11:18
hundred and fourteen catches. He had one hundred and fourteen catches, but also
2:11:22
the lowest receiving yards of anyone in history who has ever had one hundred and
2:11:24
fourteen catches in the NFL. But volume is key. In a year where
2:11:31
he finishes tight end two, he will probably not do it again, but
2:11:39
I can definitely see top I could definitely see top five to top ten for
2:11:45
him. And he's a great athlete. Evan Ingram for sure has the upside
2:11:48
to create big plays and he has that report with Trevor Lawrence is a reason
2:11:54
why they brought him back after the first year, and there's a reason why
2:11:56
Trevor Lawrence kept looking to him last year. He's gonna receive. If he
2:12:00
doesn't receive one hundred and forty targets like he did last year, he's definitely
2:12:03
gonna receive one hundred and twenty. And that's enough for me to draft him
2:12:07
in the top five, top ten tight ends in the in the entire NFL,
2:12:11
and he's gonna be the number five option for me when it comes to
2:12:13
drafting for fantasy football. You you convinced me that you said he's not gonna
2:12:18
do it again. But all right, number six right here, which I'm
2:12:26
kind of projecting here. I'm not gonna lie while I was projecting with my
2:12:31
number five pair of bron Bowers, aren't you No, I'm putting Dalton.
2:12:35
I'm putting Dalton Kincaid here at number six. And I just think that especially
2:12:41
with there being no true number one receiver there because Stefan Diggs isn't there.
2:12:48
I know you drafted key On Coleman, but that number one receiver is up
2:12:54
for grabs, and I think Dalton Kinkaid being there last year and now being
2:12:58
here this year, I feel like there's gonna be a big difference. And
2:13:01
we saw signs from Week seven all the way to Week eighteen. Fifteen points
2:13:07
seventeen points, sixteen, sixteen, ten, eight seven, and then he
2:13:11
didn't play against Dallas then those last two weeks twelve and fifteen. So,
2:13:16
Josh Allen, he built a rapport with Dalton Kincaid, and I just feel
2:13:20
like we're gonna get a full season worth of that, and that could have
2:13:22
you being the sixth overall tight end in my opinion. Yeah, for me,
2:13:26
he's also gonna be at number six. It's Dalton kincave. He's the
2:13:31
I think, for me, the clear number one option in Buffalo going into
2:13:33
next season. I don't think there's a player on that team that's better than
2:13:37
him. I understand Keon Coleman is there, but I do think Dalon k
2:13:39
Kaid's a better football player than Keon Coleman, especially what he can do at
2:13:43
the tight end position. He's like having another wide receiver. And he had
2:13:48
a lot of hype coming into last season, obviously being a first round pick,
2:13:50
being kind of the consensus first overall tighten in last season's draft. He
2:13:56
might have even been in this year's draft, oh for sure. But it's
2:14:01
just I do think he had to go that rapport with Josh Allen. I
2:14:05
do think he did because they were still leaning on Dawson Knox a lot to
2:14:09
begin the season, but once Dawson Knox went down, it forced that force
2:14:13
that connection. I do think it turned into a good one. And I
2:14:16
do think Dults and Kid can't finish six or higher and going into next year
2:14:20
for fantasy, and I just do think he's kind of a bargain because you'll
2:14:24
be able to get him a little bit later, like in around seven or
2:14:26
eight, yeah, even nine. Yeah, No, I think that's that's
2:14:33
one guy hit or him and Evan Ingram, those are two guys that you
2:14:37
could draft late and and don't have to spend maybe the top six rounds and
2:14:43
say, okay, well he could for sure be a top ten or positional
2:14:48
player. But who I think is going to be another top ten positional player.
2:14:52
I think it's going to be Jake Ferguson here. And one thing that
2:14:56
I have to say is that he's definitely the number to in this offense.
2:15:01
I know there those questions about Brandon Cooks, maybe Jayalen Tobert's stepping up,
2:15:05
but even at that, even if he was the third option in this air
2:15:09
raid offense, he still received one hundred targets last year, and that was
2:15:13
again after a slow start, but down the stretch again he was on a
2:15:20
great run. And I think this is only going to continue, and he
2:15:24
became one of the better red zone threats down the stretch, and I think
2:15:30
that five touchdown mark could easily double here and that could lead him to being
2:15:35
potentially number one tight end. It doesn't take a lot to be a number
2:15:39
one tight end in fantasy football. It doesn't. If you have a double
2:15:46
digit touchdown season, you could easily be number one tight end, and Jake
2:15:50
Ferguson definitely has that potential. Yeah, my number seven player is going to
2:15:54
be the man, the myth, the what's the word I'm looking for,
2:15:58
the not let in Kyle Pitts, That's what it's. That's what it's gonna
2:16:01
be. Kyle pitt is gonna be number seven for me. But I do
2:16:05
think he's gonna have that breakout season this year, and it's gonna because he's
2:16:09
having Kirk Cousins. I can fully expect him to jump into that potitional that
2:16:11
we've been waiting to see. I understand every season it's the same damn thing,
2:16:18
But damn it, I'm gonna die by this and he's gonna do it
2:16:22
again this year. Trust I'm gonna do it again. I'm gonna put it
2:16:24
out there. Draft Kyle Pitts. It's gonna work out. I understand he's
2:16:30
only had a one hundred and forty nine catches and six touchdowns in three seasons,
2:16:33
but that was the last three seasons. This is this year. This
2:16:37
is a new man. This is Kyle Pitts. We're talking about this Kyle
2:16:41
Pitts. We're talking about you know. Yeah, he's a changed man.
2:16:46
He's with a good he's with a good, family oriented quarterback named Kirk o
2:16:54
Bangs chainman himself, six pack in all you know, Hollywood star qb One.
2:17:05
You know, he's not playing with Desmon Ritter anymore. He's not playing
2:17:09
with heinig En No Moore, He's not playing with others. He's playing with
2:17:13
a real quarterback now, and damn it, he's gonna produce. Draft Kyle
2:17:16
pitch Yeah, I agree with you. I swear. I swear though.
2:17:22
If Kyle Pitts he is a bust again, there's gonna bet year. I'll
2:17:28
have to say. There's still gonna be a way for people to for people
2:17:33
to be hype on him. No, it's this year he needed to be
2:17:35
acclimated. No, but all right, Number eight I have right here,
2:17:41
which you already listed. It's Evan Ingram. I'm not going to go into
2:17:43
much detail here because you pretty much listed everything. Volume is King one hundred
2:17:48
and forty targets Worth and you and even if you receive again twenty thirty lesson
2:17:56
that, you're easily going to be a top ten tight end and league.
2:18:00
And he could have a better touchdown season because I believe he only had.
2:18:05
It's not popping up for me, Josh. I don't know if you have
2:18:07
it as far as total touchdowns, but I believe he had less than five.
2:18:13
Yeah, total touchdowns. I didn't put it on my notes. So
2:18:16
yeah, he had less than five total touchdowns on the year, and I
2:18:20
could see him easily adding another three to four. So yeah, he's number
2:18:24
eight for me. Yeah. Number eight for me is gonna be Jake Ferguson.
2:18:28
He really broke out last year in a big way. I think for
2:18:33
him, he's gonna be the second option behind Ceedee Lamb. I do think
2:18:37
he builds up that red zone rapport with Dak Prescott. He builds up just
2:18:41
being a safety valve. That's that's kind of what you need, and he's
2:18:45
gonna be that and then some because he's a very he's very athletic, he
2:18:48
can make big plays. I do think Brandon Cooks is gonna be that number
2:18:52
three with Jake Ferguson being the number two. So for that, I think
2:18:56
he's number eight. Especially in the high power passing offense that Dallas will have.
2:19:00
I don't think they'll go back to a heavy run team probably for a
2:19:03
little bit, just because they just don't have that guy. I get Zeke.
2:19:07
Zeke's gonna be there at the goal line every single time, but when
2:19:11
it comes to getting there, it's definitely going to be a passing oriented in.
2:19:13
Jake Ferguson's gonna have a lots too with that. Yeah. So number
2:19:18
nine I have right here is somebody who finished great down the stretch of Fantasy
2:19:24
football and who I feel like I'm kind of undervaluing, valuing valueing here.
2:19:31
Jeez, I can't talk, but it's David and Joku. David and Djoku
2:19:37
down the stretch. Let me just list you from Week fourteen to Week seventeen,
2:19:41
twenty seven points, twenty six points, sixteen points, seventeen points.
2:19:46
This guy was on a stretch, was on a stretch where it was easily
2:19:52
the number one tied end from what he was doing. So I think if
2:19:58
he could even do half of that thing here, he could do half of
2:20:01
that and be a little bit more consistent. Maybe Deshaun Watson's gonna bring more
2:20:05
consistent quarterback play. I think that he could be a top ten tight end
2:20:11
here, and that's why he's number nine for me. Yeah, number nine
2:20:15
for me is also gonna be David Nijoku. The only thing that kind of
2:20:18
scares me a little bit is that it was with Joe Flacco, and Joe
2:20:20
Flacco was not there anymore. I just want to see whether it's Jamis,
2:20:24
whether it's Deshaun Watson, because I fully don't trust de Shan Watson still.
2:20:28
Will he have that same production. Replicating what he did is not going to
2:20:33
happen. But if he can get down to a fifteen points per game,
2:20:35
sixteen points per game, even twelve thirteen, that's a solid tight end one
2:20:39
for your team weekend and week out. If he can get to that,
2:20:43
he definitely has the talent. And we still we saw it. We saw
2:20:46
it happen so if he can build that connection with one of those two quarterbacks,
2:20:52
he's gonna be a steal to be the ninth player, ninth tight end
2:20:56
taken. It's just I just want to see it happen with someone else that's
2:21:01
not Joe Flacco. Yeah, so number ten I have right here. It's
2:21:07
mister George Kittle here, And this is somebody who's even though it seems like
2:21:11
he never has a good fantasy football season, he always finds a way to
2:21:16
have a top five finish. He had sixty five receptions, just barely over
2:21:20
a thousand yard, six touchdowns, And it's just somebody where it might not
2:21:26
be the greatest pick, but it's gonna be up and down weeks, or
2:21:31
he's gonna have stretches where he could with being the number one tight end.
2:21:37
And I just think that's what it is. He's just somebody who has high
2:21:41
spike weeks and then weeks where it's just bad and you're just gonna have to
2:21:45
live with it. George Kittle, him being the number ten tight end is
2:21:50
a bargain deal where you could be able to get him. He's still gonna
2:21:54
have those top five finishes. So that's why he's number ten for me.
2:22:00
Yeah, Number ten for me is gonna be Dallas Goddard. I do think
2:22:03
he hasn't done a lot to be very productive, but somehow he still always
2:22:07
ends up with ten eleven points. You know, he has that rapport with
2:22:13
Jalen Hurts, and that's what I trust. I'd rather take ten to eleven
2:22:18
points every week than draft, like you said, a George Kittle who has
2:22:24
fike weeks. But if you're playing the guessing game with a George Kittle type
2:22:28
of player, only because you'll have a week where he goes for twenty two
2:22:35
since five weeks where he goes for average or four points per game, then
2:22:39
he'll go back to having a game where it's like nineteen points. And I
2:22:43
just don't like playing fantasy football that way. I'd rather get my guarantee ten
2:22:46
point two points per game, ten point four eleven point four points per game
2:22:50
because I because I know it's guaranteed. So that's why I have Dallas Goddard
2:22:56
for me at number ten. And but I definitely have maybe, uh,
2:23:01
George Kittle as my honorable mentions. I have for sure, I understand he's
2:23:09
the number two there. But Dawson Knox could be around that same area,
2:23:13
and then maybe Brock Bowers can work his way into that honorable mention category.
2:23:20
Yeah, no, I definitely see those guys. Maybe a Cole Commett,
2:23:22
maybe a Dalton Schultz. Maybe the thing is I would put Cole Comett,
2:23:28
but Gerald Everett, Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, Romo Donsa. You know,
2:23:33
it's just kind of hard a lot of guys. But all right,
2:23:39
that's official. That's our top dal Schultz definitely honorable mention. Definitely Dalton Schultz.
2:23:43
It's definitely a good honorable mention. But that's our quarterbacks, wide receivers,
2:23:48
running backs, tight ends. But before we get out of here,
2:23:54
we have just some key, key little details as far as fantasy football that
2:23:58
we want to add in as far things you could do that could help you
2:24:01
win your league. Just different strategies. And Josh, I know you said
2:24:07
you had one, so one of what are one of those? Right there?
2:24:11
My my strategy that I go with almost into every single fantasy football draft
2:24:16
that I do. I like to go top wide receiver, which for me
2:24:22
is always my boy, you know, So I go top wide receiver.
2:24:26
Then I come around no matter where I'm at draft top running back. Correct,
2:24:31
So I go top running back right there, I snag one of the
2:24:33
top ones. Then I come back around into round three, and then this
2:24:39
is where the decision gets spicy. All right. So sometimes when you play
2:24:43
against people who don't study, though draft quarterbacks early. So you'll see Josh
2:24:46
Allens, you'll see g Patrick Mahomes, You'll see Ja and Hurts go in
2:24:50
the first round. You'll see them going the second round. So you're sometimes
2:24:52
not left with a top option. But if one of those guys do happen
2:24:56
to follow me in the third round, I will take one of them,
2:24:58
and so I litify my top a top position, a top player at each
2:25:03
position. But if not, if those quarterbacks aren't available, I will go
2:25:07
top wide receiver and then fade quarterback for a little bit longer. So that
2:25:13
gives me either top quarterback, top wide receiver, top running back, or
2:25:16
that gives me two top wide receivers and a top running back. And then
2:25:20
this next round I can I'll go top tight end only because I like to
2:25:24
snag a player that's gonna guarantee me some points. That's gonna be the top
2:25:28
five, that's gonna be Trey McBride, Mark Andrews, Travis Kelsey, Samuel
2:25:31
Porter. I'm snagging one of those guys for sure, and then I'll come
2:25:35
back around. Maybe I'll play a little hero RB, go drap graphic quarterback.
2:25:37
Oh, grab another receiver to put out the flex and and then that's
2:25:41
a decision that you should make. I personally would like to go towards wide
2:25:46
receiver. That's three solid wide receivers because running backs always like to emerge like
2:25:50
a Kyron Williams did last year, and then you can come back around and
2:25:52
grab your RB two and then go quarterback. That's just a little strategy that
2:25:56
I have. I definitely like filling out the top player at each position first
2:26:01
so I can have guaranteed points and it always seems to work out for me.
2:26:05
A lot of people are different. They like to go to running backs
2:26:07
first, two wide receivers first. I know a lot of people do that.
2:26:11
For me, it hasn't personally been as successful as this strategy. Just
2:26:13
thought i'd share that with y'all. Yeah, that's definitely a good strategy that
2:26:18
definitely does follow like a hero RB type of mode. As far as getting
2:26:22
onesies, I do agree with you as far as that I feel like my
2:26:26
biggest thing that I offer the people is don't overthink it. Just get the
2:26:33
value. I know there's certain guys that people want, as far as me
2:26:37
being the Cowboys fan, Oh I want I want CD Lamore, I want
2:26:41
Dak Prescott, I want these guys. Take the guys that fall to you
2:26:45
the right value. You're not reaching for these players, and it'll pan out
2:26:48
for you correctly. But if I did have to choose a way that I
2:26:54
was drafting, it will be wide receivers. I like to draft wide receivers
2:26:58
first, and wide receivers through the flex. So I usually like the hero
2:27:03
r B mode because running backs it's very it always fluctuates, like you said,
2:27:09
Like you said, there's always a couple guys in waiver wire that you
2:27:13
could get throughout the year that end up becoming a top ten running back.
2:27:16
And then just one stat right here is that the top twelve running back finishes
2:27:22
average around sixteen points, top twenty four to thirteen points, so there's about
2:27:26
a three percent or three point drop off compared to wide receiver. The top
2:27:31
twelve eighteen points a game, Top twenty four four receiver fifteen points a game,
2:27:35
almost sixteen So pretty much a top twenty four receiver is matching what a
2:27:41
top twelve running back does. So that means receivers, if you draft your
2:27:46
receivers earlier, they're going to be matching whatever any running back one does.
2:27:52
So personally, me say, if I have the second overall pick and I
2:27:58
happen again to Cede Lamb, most likely what's going to be coming back to
2:28:03
me is gonna be a receiver because one thing I noticed, huh for me,
2:28:07
like a like around, Like I feel like Jayalen Wattle was gonna be
2:28:11
avaiable run right about a jailing Yeah, Because one thing I'll say, especially
2:28:18
in a lot of home leagues, there's a lot of running backs that like
2:28:22
to get taken early early in the draft. Sometimes they reach for it,
2:28:26
which again that falls into my strategy not reaching for running backs just because I
2:28:31
need one. So just take the value whoever's there, Just take them,
2:28:35
and it just happens to be wide receiver nine times out of a ten.
2:28:39
So that's why I like the receivers more. I don't know if you have
2:28:43
anything else you want to offer, brother, I'm cooked for this part.
2:28:50
Yeah, no, but it definitely was a long episode. But do you
2:28:54
have, or let's do our so called MVPs real quick, so called MVPs,
2:28:58
do them every week. Who you got, Josh, I'm gonna go
2:29:01
with a Lamin Yamal from Spain, sixteen year old icon dog bro Bro just
2:29:11
him, you know, like assist gold today at sixteen years youngest person to
2:29:18
ever score in the Euros at sixteen years old versus France, stepped up to
2:29:20
the plate, hit a banger outside the box. You know, it's got
2:29:24
to get respect or respected to dude. Some guys are just born to be
2:29:28
great, and he's one of them. Yeah. So the one guy I
2:29:33
have is Cooper Flag. Cooper Flag and the practice he balled out future Chicago
2:29:39
bull. So I'm just shot shouting him out before he becomes a bull.
2:29:41
But once again, we're gonna be off next week. So anything else you
2:29:46
gotta say, Josh or be done. Nah, I'm good. I don't
2:29:50
catch y'all later. Well, all right, we will see you guys in
2:29:54
two weeks. You guys, take care
