• 0:23
  Speaker 1: be back next week. Evan Abrams Optimus Primer is here
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: as well. My fantasy drafts are scheduled and set, but
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I do need some guidance on who to draft, where
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to draft, who we should be avoiding like the plague
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Kendall Vevenezuela from Fantasy Life. We'll be joining us on
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: today's episode. But first and foremost, Stucky, A happy birthday
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, that was my birthday.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: But I.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I have I had some When I was driving to
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: dinner for my birthday, I had this this random thought.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: So I got a call on my cell phone. It
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: was a spam call. When I get seventeen million of
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: those a day to climb that, And then I got
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: a notification on my phone that there was someone on
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: my front door, which was someone a delivery person. So
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I just and then I looked at my kid and
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I said, you know, one of the most when I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was like ten twelve, I don't know, like a young
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: kid in middle school. One of the like the things
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: that we would do for like that was so much
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: fun is like it just being a like just getting
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: into mischief as a kid. One prank calls. We did
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of prank phone calls. I feel like you
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: can't do prank phone. Kids can't do prank phone calls
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: anymore because no one's going to pick up unless they
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: know it's your number. Right, Like every and every you
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: would call, you'd just call random number. We would get
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: out in the elevators to call random number, do prank call,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and everyone would pick up because it we just called.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It would go to your person's house and they didn't know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: so they would pick up. And you could just do
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: prank calls for days. And then we would do like
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: ding don ditch. You can't do that anyone because everyone
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: has a camera that did you see it at your
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: front door your ring camera and it doesn't work and
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh I just saw a kid run away.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go answer my door. So what
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: are kids doing these days for their pranks? I don't know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: random thought I had, that's.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: A great question. I don't know. I guess it would
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: have to be something like creating a burner account on
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: social media. It's got to it's got to be something
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: like that. And uh And I think that probably UH
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: lends itself to our uptick in cyberbullying around the country
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and the world. But it's a good point. I don't
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: pick up my phone for anybody. I barely pick up
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: my phone if I do know the person that's calling
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and I've got them on caller, I d definitely not
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: at if somebody rings.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: The I didn't know the answer that the number two
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: in I don't know a decade.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: My heart drops into my stomach. If somebody rings the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: door bell, like I think that the world must be ending.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Why else would you be trying to contact me at
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: my front door. It feels so invasive. And as a kid,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't care if somebody knocked at the door, you
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: went and answered it. Now as an adult, it gives
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: me the hives the idea of going to answer my door. Yeah.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: The other thing is you don't have I think I
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: brought this up on the show for you. You don't
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: have to. And this goes back to people's like communication skills.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: But you don't have to remember having to like call
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a girl in high school. You had to call their
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: house so for them, but you had to like talk
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to the parent first, and oh my.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: God, that was it's these days they don't answer the.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Dad answered ship for now you're just just hit up
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: their cell.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: But my revery that exists. That wasn't your question that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that felt so stucky question?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Like, no, Mike, my quick, that was just an observation,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: my quick. My question of the day is, Hey, this
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: is a dumb question.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a personal question kind of question.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Is that is question.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: If you had to lock in the rest of your life,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you can only have There's one plate and this is
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: what you get every day for breakfast for the rest
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: of your life. You can't change it. And you can
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: fill up one plate. What is what does your plate
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: look like for your breakfast? I'll let you think about it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm going I want like a cheesy Now
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the thing is like, now I'm stuck, just I can't
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: ever have a healthy breakfast, but whatever a cheesy like
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: like hash potato hash and and then I guess I'll
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: say like a little bowl of oat me own fruit.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And then I want a sausage egg And excuse me
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: why I say sausage a scrapple if you know you
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: know what scrapple from? Do you know what scrapple is?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I thought that was a board game.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Scrapple is like this meat like google scrapple people, only
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: it's like a Pennsylvy. It's like an Amish thing, but
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it's in Pennsylvania. You'll find it a lot. It's like
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite breakfast foods. Scrapple egg and cheese
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: on a croissant.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: That looks nice, that looks like that looks like elevated
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: spam pretty much.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you I'd like to make it like make
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a make it real thin and I put a like
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a couple of extra slices on the side. But yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that I go, scrapple egg and cheese on a croissant,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a little cheesy potato hash, some like peppers and onions
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: in there, a lot of garlic, and then like a
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: little little like ramikin of oatmeal and fruit. I think
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm going with.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I dig the variety. I think I would I would
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: go with along those same lines.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Eat it every day, cause you're gonna get it every day, right,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: So like it's like, all right today, I'm not eating
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the breakfast sandwich. I'm just gonna eat.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Those big breakfast guys. So I'd have no problem. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: think you got to start your day with a hearty breakfast.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And almost ten years ago now, when my wife and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I went on our honeymoon went to Sandals, Jamaica, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: we stayed at the all inclusive resort, the breakfast that
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: they had available every morning was I still have dreams
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: about it. The omelet. They had this all this tropical
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: fruit like lee cheese. I'd never even had those before.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: And so whatever I had on that plate breakfast, potatoes,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: omelet and some of that tropical fruit, maybe like a muffin,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that would be every single day of my life. I
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: could eat that. I would never get sick of it,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: never get sick of it. That's the thing with breaks
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: is too stucky, is it? Like once you get into
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a certain break there's only so many options you have,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: like cereal, eggs, bacon, And we have not expanded the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: breakfast variety all that much as time has gone on.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I've been like I agree, you get like
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: over to like Europe. It's like someone like a nice
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: hotel has like a breakfast spread in the morning, oh man,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: with like all the meats and cheeses and different frick
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: it's much more expansive. But okay, I dig it, Evan,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: what's your plate?
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: I was thinking about it. It's just got to be eggs,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Like it's something I wouldn't get sick of, and you'd
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: probably throw like some fruit on there, like an old meal.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: You're right to make variety, but if you just told
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: me you can only have one dish, it's like, don't
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: fuck around with all the other stuff and like make
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: it hard. It's probably like just like scrambled eggs with
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: a ham like or something like that I just wouldn't
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: get sick of.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And then David Mexico, I mean, are you going Mexico

  Speaker 2: breakfasts are awesome? Are you going like Upper Out or
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: like Waveos friend cher Us. I'm going biscuits and gravy

  Speaker 2: with some green chili hmm, every morning, every morning, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I will be dead in a couple of years. That's heavy.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: I was gonna go oatmeal, but it's so fucking boring.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have oatmeal a lot. Some more like a
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: lot of mornings during football.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: And well, like every morning I would.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. I got some over. I got like
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: some of those overnight oats during football season that I
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: do like just putting in a shaker and yeah, so
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: they have different flavors and I'll just put different types
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of food in there to keep it spice it up.

• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Kendel Valenzuela seen your fantasy analyst at Matthew Berry's Fantasy
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Life website. I'm sure she is already knee deep in drafts,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: but still took some time to chop it up with
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the favorite screw today. Thanks so much for joining us, Kendall.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'm beyond excited to get into this.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what's up? Guys, I'm excited fantasy football rolling. That
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: means football is very close, so it's time to like
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: start grinding and get ready for it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And this badass background that Kendall has, like she's got
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: some pool holes in the background. We got a griffy figurine.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I think Jalen Hurts is looking at the sky. Mean,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: we really covered all the.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Bases there, exactly exactly. I'm a Mariners fan, so in
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: the back of my mind, I always have to be like, hey,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: you can't get too excited about your Seahawks because you're
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: a Mariners fan and we have nothing good ever happened
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: to us. So it's just like a little reminder to
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: keep myself grounded.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Mariner's just every night is a different, painful loss.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I get like, if you get me going on the
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Mariners right now, like that'll be the whole show. And
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: it's just it's awful. And you just have to say
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: for all Mariners fans, because it feels like it's never
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: gonna get better and they're in a horrible division and
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: they still can't do much.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, that was so close last year. All right, well,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you know, another season in front of us still draft season.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: This is something I struggle with every year, is the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: prep side of it. I do think that there is
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: some paralysis by analysis that can set in. Is it
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: possible to have too many mocks? Do you think it's
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: possible to dip into too many?
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: There cap No, you're asking the wrong person. I do
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: mocks every single day just to like, because my thing
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: with mox is you want to go in with the
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: right intention. I always tell people if you're doing mock drafts,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: you know, do them for fun, whatever. But if you're
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: in multiple leagues across multiple different platforms, it is such
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: a helpful tool to be able to do that. Like
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: we've got one at fantasylife dot com. That's the only
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: one I use because it's so important to know the
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: different ADPs across all these different platforms. If you're a
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: best ball bro and you're doing Underdog, that's going to
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: be so different and from the ADPs that are coming
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: off on ESPN. So it's just like getting your mind right,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: getting yourself ready, and like especially if you can sink
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: your scoring settings, you know, your league settings, whatever it
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: may be. Now, there's no such thing as too many mocks.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of that personalized stuff over in Fantasy Life.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: So to that point, that's a smart extra plug for
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the company.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Exactly. That's all I'm gonna do fantasylift dot Com today
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: because that's it's true, like you just want to get
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: you just want to get ready. And so if you can't,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: if you can't practice by doing best ball drafts. I
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: love best ball drafts on Underdog. If you can't do that,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: some people just can't, whether they live in the state
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: or they just don't want to. You still want to
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: go and practice.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: What is your personal split going into this year between
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: like standard, you know, like guillotine, best ball, Like, what
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: is your personal portfolio split.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I'll have the most best ball drafts because then it
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: just it just brings you in right and then you
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: have to stop, like right before the season starts. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I'll have the most best ball drafts. But I really like,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: you know, traditional redraft formats. I'll be in a really
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: good amount of those. And I think I'm glad you
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: brought up guillotine links. So I'll be in about ten
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: guillotine leagues as well. So guillotine leagues is such a
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: fun different way to do it. So if you guys
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: haven't done that. I've actually been telling people if they're
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: trying to get into fantasy or like I don't know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: get their parents into fantasy, Like I made my mom
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: start doing it. I'm like, here, this one isn't like
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: as bad because you still have to, you know, hopefully
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: manage a roster throughout the whole season. But it's just
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: fun being able to like bin on Derrick Henry in
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: week five or like Christian McCaffrey in week ten. So yeah,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I've got a good amount of everything Dynasty as well,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: keeper leagues. Like, there's just so many ways to get involved,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: so I would say get involved in all of them.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Can we go back to the beginning a little bit
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: with you before we get into the players itself. So
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: with a lot of different coaching changes, offensive schemes, battles
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: going into training camp that we've got to dig into.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: But Kendall, the beginning for you, When did you get
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the bug? When did the fantasy bug? When did And
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sure back then, whatever this was, you never thought
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you'd be making a living off of that on top
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no it was. My dad was high school football coach,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: so I grew up always around football, like sports in general,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: as you can hear from my Mariners fandom. But like
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: my dad was a football coach. He coached offensive lineman,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: so I was always out there with him when I
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: was like six, I want to say this like my
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: earliest memory, and I remember he would always host our
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: fantasy football drafts with his friends and our family in
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: our backyard, and I would be the one. They would
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: do it in a way where I would have to
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: go and pick out of a deck of cards to
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: be able to pick the draft order. So no one
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: can yell at a sweet little six year old when
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: they give them, you know, the twelfth pick in this draft.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: They can't be like, shoot, I can't. I don't like that.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: So that's my earliest memory. And then I've just always
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: loved I've always loved sports. Grew up with obviously the
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks. We had our basketball team sent away, so
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: there wasn't much. There wasn't a lot else to go
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: and look at, look at. We didn't have a hockey
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: team until recently. Mariners were still there just breaking our hearts.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's been around. I've been around it for
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: a long time here and then went to Arizona State
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: to study broadcasting journalism, and then you know, worked my
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: way up, worked in Denver, worked at PFF over there
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: in Cincinnati, and now Fantasy Life. So it's been a
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: really really fun journey to kind of get here.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: You think that the NFL would be as popular as
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: it is without fantasy.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think so. But I think fantasy is
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: what makes you know, us stick around for those really
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: crappy Jets games, no offense Jets fans, but like the
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Thursday nights in like late December, right where you're just like,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: do I really want to watch this? And we're like sweating,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: you know, a Browns game or a Texans game. It's
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: because we have you know, it's fantasy and betting. Like
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: that's what my co host Adam ronas Alway says. He's
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: a Cowboys fan, he hates his life, but at least
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: we have fantasy football and betting. So I think it
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: would still be, you know, popular, obviously, but I think
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: fantasy keeps the fandom going, especially with those bad.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Games, and it's a great gateway for us and what
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: we do on this show and the sports betting side
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of it is that because fantasy is something like, you
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: could do that with your kid. You could start that
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: when you're ten. Nobody's gonna judge you for it. If
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you've got your kids slamming point spreads at ten years old,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and people are going to look at you sideways.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: A little frowned upon.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: But that's okay. It's definitely helped helped us. When did
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you start stucky? What was your first You remember your
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: first fantasy team?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: My first fantasy now, I mean it was just really.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were doing fantasy when you were in diapers.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: If I had to guess the first fantasy team, I
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: remember my first bet, my first bets, I mean he
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: was in high school. I mean I always did fantasy
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: dress with my high school friends. Yeah, so I mean
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: we're talking that was my birthday yesterday, so we're talking
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: twenty plus years ago generously. So yeah, that I we did.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think if we had. Yeah, we did
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: like a board where I did a couple with a
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: with a like you know, manually with just like a
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: big board and you write it up. But yeah, I've
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: been doing doing fantasy forever. I'm really interesting. I haven't
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: done any guillotine leagues, but for those not familiar, It's
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: like they look interesting to me because I can just
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I'll get eliminated early and then not have to worry
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: about them. But for people not familiar, do you want
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: to just explain them real quick and then talk about
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Like the different mindset of howroach.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Guillotine leagues is amazing because like if again, if you're
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: just starting, or if you know anything about fantasy football,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: you almost like throw it out the door with with
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: guillotine leagues, Like anything you think you know about fantasy
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: football doesn't necessarily always apply to guillotine leagus. So you've got,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: you know, eighteen eighteen weeks, you go the full season,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: and what you do in this kind of format is
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: you draft. You've got no bench spots, so you can
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: you know, set it differently, but you know, you have
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: no bench spots, so every single player that you draft
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: you have to they play. And so the one thing
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: here though, is that when you're eliminated, if you have
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: the lowest score of the week, it's really just survive
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: in advance, and so you don't have to necessarily win
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: and be the you know, highest scoring player that single week,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: but you don't want to be the lowest because then
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: your team is done. You get chopped is what we
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: call it, and then all of your players get put
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: back into the pools so people can bid on them, uh,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: you know throughout waivers and stuff. So it's this crazy
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: thing where you know, you could have a super team,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: but one week, you know, Patrick Mahomes goes down, Derek
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Henry doesn't score you, you know, thirty plus fantasy points,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: and all of a sudden you're looking around like, wow,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: I am actually going to get chopped here. And then
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: the fun part is bidding on those players that go
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: back into the pool. So it's a super fun way
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: to do it, so different from just like regular fantasy football,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: and I high We've got guillotine leagues dot com. I
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: highly recommend it. We've got those already started, so you
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: guys can go and start drafting on those. But it
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: is so much fun.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Well traditional league's most people do them still. When you
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: go into them this year, do you have one two
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: part question? Do you have a favorite position that you
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: get that you're like yes, and or a favorite player
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: that you come out of the first round with where
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: you're like yes.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Oh the first round, well, so my, oh my. The
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: one thing that's different in my rankings, which you guys
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: can see at fantasylife dot com, is that I've got
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Bijon Robinson is my one oh one, not just RB one.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be between Jim, but you know, between Jami
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: or gibbsbe Jehn Robinson. If you're drafting in the first
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: round and you've got the one of the first two picks, like,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: don't overthink it. You're going to have a great season
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: with Jamir Gibbs or Bijon. But I just I just
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: like Bjeon Robinson. I like the idea that you know
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: he's gonna maybe potentially catch more a little bit more passes.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: But it's really just like it's a coin flip between
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: the two. I think more people are going to lean
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: to Jamior Gibbs because the offense is just overall better
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: than what the Atlanta Falcons are going to do. But
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Bjeon Robinson, like he has a chance to go for
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: a thousand and one thousand and So it's one of
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: these things where I've just stuck with it since the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: beginning of the season and I haven't done anything to
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: move it. So Bjon Robinson is like my favorite player
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: in the first round, but I think you really can't
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: go wrong with Jamar Chase. Joe Burrow is one of
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: my most drafted quarterbacks this season. And then I'll say,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: like Aman Ross, Saint Browns, Ceedee Lamb, James Cook, Ashton Genty.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I'm naming like six guys out of the twelve that
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: you could pick from, but like they're really good guys
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: in the back half of the first round that I
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: think you will not be sorry that you picked up,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: especially like James Cook, Ashton Geni's back there too.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: What about team build? I find myself really gravitating towards
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the running backs. I was always in the old school
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: camp you got to get your running backs early, and
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: then we started to see that transition to heavier passing offenses,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and I started to make that switch, like I got
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: to get the elite wide receiver and then we'll fill
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: out running backs later. I think I'm back to the
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: old school mentality where I've got to get these top
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: tier backs first, and I find myself pushing guys like
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: James Cook and ash Jingenty a few slots higher than
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I think I see them in the ADP. How do
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you think the best way to fill out that early
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: portion of your roster.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Is Listen, if you haven't drafted yet, you're gonna get
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: on there and be like, wait, what the heck, what
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: year is this? Because like all the running backs are
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: being pushed up. You've got six running backs going in
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: the first round, and you've got seven going in the second.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: So it's almost this because running backs have stayed relatively
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: healthy and they have been a huge part of fantasy
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: football over the last two seasons. So now we're kind
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: of correcting it and we're saying, Okay, zero or B
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: isn't in fashion anymore where we could have just waited
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: till the fifth round to get our first running back.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: So that's my favorite way to build right now too.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Obviously the board has to fall your way, but like
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: anchor our B approach, where you're just exactly how it sounds,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: you're anchoring your team to one elite, workhorse running back.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: That's the thing that I tell people is that they
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: need to be elite. Like you can hope the best
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: for Jeremiah Love, but that is not like you don't
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: want to anchor your team necessarily to him. I think
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: he's gonna have a great season, but when we're talking
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: anchor RB. It's an elite guy, you know, Derrick Henry,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: the guys that's going to get a ton of touches,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, v John Robinson, Jamier Gibbs. And so when
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: you do it that way, you hammer home the wide
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: receivers after that. That's how I like to do it,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: is like getting three elite wide receivers. Maybe you pay
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: up at the onesie position at the tight end spot,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: and then you come back around with your second running
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: back in the fifth or sixth round. Like that's my
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: favorite way to do it because I think there's just
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: such a drop off and talent with the wide receiver
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: spot where you get to a point where there's so
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: many guys with some like mildly red flags or base
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: flags or you know, you look around and you're like, nah,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: this is a lot of mouths to feed. Are they
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: really going to be able to come out on top?
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: So that's my favorite build right now is anchor RB.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Sometimes if you're in the bet half, you could maybe
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: you know, get James Cook Saquon Barkley. But if you
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: do that, do not touch the running back position for
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: like a really long time. I'm talking like tenth round.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: You don't need to get your third running back until then.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: You have any strong stances or takes on any of
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: the crowded wide receiver rooms. So packers come to mind.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Also Jaguars, Like I the Jaguars is very interesting because
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: you have, you know, three receivers that you know what's
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: hunter going to be. Then they have strange and they
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: drafted two tight end so how much more multi tight
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: end stets are they going to use? Do you have
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: any strong takes or stances on how you're approaching any
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: of the receivers in those rooms.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I'm trying, and this is this is going to be
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: like kind of a two part because my easy answer
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: is that we do so many drafts that I'm just
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: going to be taking stabs on all of them. If
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: you're in a traditional you know, you do two drafts
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: a year or whatever it may be, which is fantastic.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: I think the answer that's really crappy is like, we
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: have no idea how it's going to look. And so
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: the player that I've actually drafted the most from Jacksonville
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: is Brian Thomas Junior. And maybe it's because I like
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: pain and being hurt, and last season he was the
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: guy that I took at the one two turn and
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: it was awful. But like to me, I look at
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Brian Thomas Juner and I say, well, his ad aunt,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: his average s up of the target was insane last season.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Is that is that role going to stick? I think
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Parker Washington is still a really good player. I know
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: some people have said, like, is Parker Washington the Michael
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Wilson you know, the Arizona Cardinals Michael Wilson of this
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: team And I don't think so. I think Parker Washington's
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: going to be able to give them, you know, the
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: performance that he did last season for a whole year.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: But I just I don't know. I can't quit Brian
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Thomas Junior. There were drops, there were mental things that
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: he was going through, injuries as well. So I want
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: to believe that that marriage between him and this Liam
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Cohen offense with Trevor Lawrence is going to work. But overall,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I've taken BTJ the most and then Parker Washington, And
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: like you said, Brenton Strange is going to get involved.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: We've got him projected all for one hundred plus targets,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: like all three of them. So this could be a
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: situation in Jacksonville where at the end of the day
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: we look back and we say, dang, we took too
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: many of these players and this actually just ended up
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: being the Packers of this division where they just spread
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: the ball around. Same thing with the Packers. I've been
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: taking the most Jayden Reid because he's cheap, cheaper than
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Christian Watson. But I don't know if they're really going
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: to have this alpha alpha target earner. I think they're
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: still going to spread the ball around, but at least
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: it's a little bit more condensed without d'antavian rick Wick's
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs there. So it's like a horrible because it's like,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know, we've got him projected so close together
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: too where and I don't even know if training camp's
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: going to really give us an answer that we want either.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: It's probably gonna be week one and we sit back,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: we say, ah, that's how they're gonna do it.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's muddy. Are we still drafting Travis Hunter?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Is like, I'm not convinced that they're gonna play him
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: that much on offense, but they refuse to admit it
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: out loud.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: No.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I know, Well, because they hate our fantasy teams. Like,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I'm still drafting Travis Hunter at cost because last year
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: you were taking him really early like he was he
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: was a third round pick. I think he got steamed
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: up even maybe earlier than that, depending on who you
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: were drafting with. So like the idea there is like
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: don't hate the player, hate the ADP. And so last
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: year I was priced out of Hunter, thank goodness because
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: obviously it didn't work out. Still drafting him because he's
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: going outside the top one one hundred and twenty picks,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: so it's not necessarily someone that can sink your league
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: like where he was at last season, but I'm with you,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I don't and if if Travis Hunter has a role,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: you know who really gets hurt is Parker Washington because
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: that really coincides with Parker Washington having a really great
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: year last season is when Travis Hunter went down without
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: unfortunate injury. So it's one of those push and pull situations.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna draft him again. It's a lot easier in
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: best ball because you won't have to wonder when to
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: start him either. But yeah, his price is a lot
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: better this year.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Well, speaking of potential flyers, do you have any late
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: round flyers, and in particular, if you want to touch
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: on one or two potential late round rookies that you.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Think, okay, shine, yeah, I've got man. The rookie class
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: this year was not as fun. I felt like someone
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: is going to come out on top of this class,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: but it wasn't. It wasn't necessarily as fun of a year.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I think one of my late late round guys at
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: the tight end spot is chickacong Wo. And we can
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: totally delete this if this team goes out and signs
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: another wide receiver, because I think that it's a different
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: conversation for the commanders. But I love Chicka kon Quo.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I think that if we're looking around and we're saying
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: it's Terry McLaurin, Antonio Williams, it's just two parts to
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: your question. Is one of my favorite other late round
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: rookie wide receivers that you can go and get. But
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: to me, Chiga kon Quo came over here and he
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: hasn't had a really good quarterback like Jayden Daniels, like
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: we can look at him and I think Ryan Tannehill
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: was the last quarterback in my notes that I saw
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: that like had an on target throw percentage that was
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: better than like twenty fifth, and so to me, I
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: think Chiga Konko is a yat guy. He's yards after
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: contact guy, he's fast, and the way that they utilized
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: zach Ertz last season, even though it's a new OC
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: coming in, we could maybe expect a little bit of
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: a difference there, but they were peppering zach Ertz with targets,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: and so I think Chicka Konko has an opportunity, especially
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: at the beginning where we see rookies really take a
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: little while unless they're a mechic Buca to come onto
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: the scene. So he could be their number two pass
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: catcher in this offense. So I love chickacon Quo. Antonio
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Williams again, another late round rookie wide receiver that you
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: can pay attention to. And then there's just like sprinkles
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: of little rookie running backs here, Like I love Nicholas Singleton.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: He's over in Tennessee. I think for him to have
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: a role though it would take an injury, but Tony
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Pollard's another year older and Tajay Spears hasn't been able
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: to stay healthy. So I love Nicholas Singleton, He's he's
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: probably one of my most drafted rookie. Yeah, running backs
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: over there, and so those are probably Antonio Williams Nicholas
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Singleton are my two most drafted rookies, and then Chicka
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Kong was my favorite late round guy.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind looking at the Washington looks because I, yeah,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: don't see much hope for that defense. So they could
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: be in a lot of shootouts once again.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Exactly, and like the OC stuff, I know people are
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: nervous about that because we just haven't seen it. But
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day, I think hopefully they're
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: just they just look around and they're like, well, we
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: have Jayden Daniels and Jaden Daniels was able to do
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: this without much help with like not a ton of weapons.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Two years ago when it was his rookie season, it
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: was Terry McLaurin who had an insane amount of touchdown
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: So I think I think he can do it again.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Even though it wasn't like the best off season for them,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I think he can work.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: It does seem like we haven't gotten the discount on
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels I thought we'd get because he was pretty
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: bad last year on top of the injuries. But even
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: when he played, he wasn't as sensational as he was
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: as a rookie. And I'm seeing him drafted right alongside
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. I see completely different paths for those guys,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: especially with the weapons they have. Why have we not
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: gotten that discount on Jaden Daniels.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Because he uses it, Because we love dual threat guys.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: He uses his legs. I mean, that's the only thing, Like,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: that's the thing that can set you apart. We can
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: say that, you know, he didn't look at and even
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: some of the passing metrics. He wasn't necessarily on the
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: top of his game, but it was because he was injured.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: As a rookie, he was on fifty three percent of
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: ESPN playoff rosters. So anyone that can give you the
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: dual threat ability is going to be someone that is
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: just steamed up. Like except for Joe Burrow, who you know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: gets drafted inside the top five or six, depending on
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: what platform you're on. But that's because he's an elite
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: pastorer and we know that they're usually going to be
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: playing from behind, so that matters there. But yeah, Jayden Daniels,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: I mean I think you know he's given us an
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: average across twenty three games at least eighty percent of
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: the snaps twenty two point three fantasy points per game,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: and that's something that you can't ignore. And you know
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: that if they're if nothing's there over in the air,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: for Terry McLaurin, he's just going to tuck it and run.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: And I don't think no matter how many offensive coordinators
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: you have that change your team, they know that that's
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: going to be kind of their bread and butter there.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: So you're now, unfortunately, you're not going to get discounts
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: on guys like that. I think the one this year
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: that has more of a discount than I expected was
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Jackson Dart cause he's kind of the same way Jackson
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Dart through the year was able to get things done.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: It wasn't necessarily the prettiest, but you didn't have Molik
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: neighbors there, and then he was also able to give
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: you something on the ground. But I think people are
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: a little bit more nervous that maybe they don't let
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: him run as much just because of all the concussions
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: and how wildly free he was when he was running
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: and just trying to get those extra yards and like,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: you know, lowering his head. So that's the one that
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: surprises me the most is I thought he was going
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: to be a little bit more expensive this year, but
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: he's not.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Is there a coaching change that impacts fantasy values in
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: a big way that might be overlooked. And we've got
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel now with the Chargers, and we've got guys
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: that have also exited. The Goobiac not being in Seattle
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: anymore has me a little worried about the Seahawks. And
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: if Kevin Petula is not in Philadelphia, that should help
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the Eagles. What are the ones that you're looking at
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: positively negatively for fantasy?
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the obvious one here is the Chargers
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: because Mike McDaniel is so damn good, Like he is
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: so creative, he knows exactly what he wants to do
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: with his running backs, and so I think people are
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: making them one for once, right, Marion Hampton's going to
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: be devon a chan You're going to be able to
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: have a huge season from Lad McConkey. And it makes
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: them expensive, Like Quentin Johnson is getting steamed up to
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: levels where I'm not even I can't even go there. Like,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: I can't draft Quentin Johnson the sixth round. I just
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: really can't find myself doing it. But everyone is so
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: excited about Mike McDaniel and what he can bring to
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: this team. Justin Herbert has shown flashes before, hasn't you know,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know, hasn't won in a playoff game. But
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: he's still one of those guys that can be the
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: dual threat archetype that we like for fantasy football. And
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: so that's the one that's going to be interesting because
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: that'll sink a lot of teams, like if they are
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: not good or for whatever reason, you know, it doesn't
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: click right away. It's really gonna hurt some people. But
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I'm still believing, like it's it's Mike McDaniel, and so
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: I think that things are gonna be fine there. Yeah, Seattle, Seattle.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not necessarily worried about Seattle. I think the you know,
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: not to go back to the Giants, But I do think,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: you know, John Harbaugh, Matt Naggy as some people spooked
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: because Matt Naggy is not necessarily the greatest coaching mind
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: in the world, especially for us in fantasy football. So
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I worry about that one and then I think a
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: sneaky one is just the Tennessee Titans. Not necessarily that's
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: more in dynasty if you're buying into them. But I
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: do think Robert Sala Brian Dable as an offensive coordinator
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: over there can help Kim Ward really step up in
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: the second year. And he needs some Yeah, he he
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: needs a lot, but just continuity though he needs to
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: be able to stick with these guys for a few
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: years to see it. So drafting Carnel Tate, I don't
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: think is a bad idea. Getting one of the running
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: backs Tony Pollard, not necessarily again the sexiest name, but
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: someone that can at least give you some consistency out there.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Robert Sala and Dable are like Lombardi and Glad ref
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: for compared to what Brian Callahan was doing their last year.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's what I'm saying. It was so bad,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: and some people are like, that's why I say too,
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Like short term memory is important in fantasy because you
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: guys played every year and it's like it's so hard
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: sometimes to just like say, this guy's burned me for
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: five years. I did it with Kyle Pitts last year,
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: and I actually got burned because I was like, I'm
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: not going back to Kyle Pitts, like he stinks it's
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: never gonna happen. And then the end of last year,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: I was like, dang, I should have just looked at
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: him at his price and said why not. So it's
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: like really important to have some kind of short term
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: memory there.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very applicable to betting too. It's like you've
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: bet speaking to the Titans, who have burned me more
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: than any other team, and.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know if short term boards is help them
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: for a couple of years with them.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess yeah, short of memory hasn't helped me there,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: but uh yeah, like if team burns you a couple
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: of weeks in a row and then you like them again,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: and it's it's hard to pull the trigger. Is there
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: a player where you essentially have to someone would have
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: to like back you into a corner, put a gun
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: to your head for you to draft and you just
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: hope have zero exposure of going into the season compared
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: to like where they're being drafted and where you value them,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: or like you're just worried about their situation or or injury.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Is there someone like you just see yourself avoiding even
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: though they're available.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: That's a really interesting question.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I like, I do also love the idea of somebody
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: trying to rob me and then asking me to draft
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: a bad fantasy like give me JK.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Dobbins, and I'm like, you're fine, literally, please take jab
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: like I would say, probably the probably the Broncos. And
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: this is like a little bit of a caveat because
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: I draft so many teams that eventually I'm going to
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: take one or two, you know, one or two of them.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: But I said that last year and I didn't draft CMC.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Like I always like to tell be transparent when you're wrong,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: and I was like, I'm not going to draft Christian
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: McCaffrey what if he gets hurt. And I'm still sticking
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: to that today. But it is one of those things
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: that's a really scary fade to do it again. But
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: based on the touch, he was the only cod Niner
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: that's say to stay healthy somehow, which is so odd,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Like I don't know what kind of like magic happened there. Well,
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: he went over to Europe to get some you know,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: treatments done on his legs, and so I don't know
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: if that was something that helped. But I will say
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: players that I'll have on zero teams are more than
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: likely close to it. It is probably like JK. Dobbins,
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: and I'll put the Broncos backfield as a whole on
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: that one because they're just like to me, JK. Dobbins.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: And it's so tough because I just said, you want
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: to have short term memory, but I think when a
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: player shows you who unfortunately they are in terms of injuries,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: it's really tough to look at him and say, well,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: he hasn't been able to stay healthy for a full season,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: and so I think at the price that he's going
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: right now. For others, if they want to get on board,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: I think that's totally fine. But to me, you know,
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: when you are only going to be able to maybe
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: have them four seven to ten games. Last year he
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: gave us ten games and he was solid during that,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: but it's never been a full season for him, so
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: it's unfortunate. But like that's one of the guys JK. Dobbins, RJ. Harvey,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think was you know, very very good over
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: there either. So the Broncos backfield as a whole is
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: one that I'm just going to avoid. They also, you know,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: they mix in Jalia McLoughlin and stuff like that. So
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: if you want a rookie that you can get late,
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: if you just want a piece of it, it's Jonah Coleman.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that's when I'm not gonna have. Honestly, Ricky Piersoll.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: I've not drafted Ricky Piersoll ever, and I'm probably just
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: gonna keep the trend the same because I just he's
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: also someone that unfortunate gunshot injury. Uh when was that now,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: last year, two years ago, whatever it was. And then
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: he also though was injured in college, and so I
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: know that people are you know, it's a great story
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: and everything, but he's one of those guys that I
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: just I don't necessarily like him, especially now that Mike
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Evans is over there. It looks like George Kittle's going
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: to be able to start the year. You've got CMC
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: who magically stayed healthy last season as well. So those
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: are probably the big, you know, the big groups. Ricky
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Pearson and then the Broncos backfield are the ones that
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna avoid, right, you know.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: The Broncos my favorite This is deep, deep, deep sleeper.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: But and maybe more for you know, longer term leagues.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: But I'm a big fan of the potential of Justin
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Joelie the tight end. Oh yeah, the Broncos took Ingram
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: had at Ingram's back, it's gonna be thirty two if
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: and Jolie was. I mean, he basically played like a
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: slot receiver a lot with NC State. He is a
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: tremendous pass catcher. Got hurt at the end of last year,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: which I think caused him to drop in the draft.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: But if Peyton, I mean, like Ingram gets hurt, he's
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: just he's not as productive as he once was. Yeah,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: there's potential there with Peyton unlocking him in like that
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: that joker role.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we we so at Fantasy life dot Com.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: We've got the rookie supermodel from Dway McFarland who does
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: an amazing job. And when he was breaking down Joe Lee.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: It was so interesting because I think there were so
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: many tight ends taking in the draft this this past year.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: I think it was like twenty It ended up being
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: twenty two or something like that, like something crazy. So
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: we're not only seeing this shift where you're seeing more
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: of that usage, but you know, it makes people like
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Justin Joelee kind of go under the radar where you're
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: just like, oh, well, they're just drafting them so they
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: can be a blocking tight end, and that's like not justin.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Joee also has like the skill set and the capability.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: It's just if yeah, you said it, it's just if
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: they want to utilize him like that. Again, Sean Payton
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: hates our fantasy teams. Evan Ingram. They told us three
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: years ago was going to be the Joker and everyone
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: was drafting him and then it was like sadness and despair.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I like the call, especially in Dynasty. If
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: you're not if you haven't done your Dynasty draft yet,
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: there's there. Honestly, I think when you get to the
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: sixth pick in one of those drafts, or even I'll
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: push it to the eighth after that, just go with
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: guys you like, because at some point you're gonna look
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: around and say, are these guys really?
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: The path for a lot of these rookies coming in
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: is so tough. So if you are in a tight
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: end premium league and you're looking around and you need
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: one of those guys, like, I think that's a really
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: good call out.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Well what about a more obvious option inside of the
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Denver Broncos offense. Like a new addition in Jalen Wattle.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm not seeing or hearing a lot
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: of buzz around him as a potential number one target
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: for bon Nicks. Am I just missing it or is it?
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Is it not there? Usually we like the guys that
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: are old face in a new place.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: I can tell you right now like he's he's going
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: to be the number one target earner, and in this offense,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: I think I think what people probably has people scared
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: is maybe Bonigs and again Sean Payton, especially in fantasy.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: But Jalen Wattle, like what he was able to do
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: when he was in Miami, he had not necessarily the
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: best quarterback in the world, and then he had Tyreek
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Hill at some point still ahead of him, and he
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: was able to give you some fantasy goodness there. So
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: I think Jalen Wattle is going to be like the
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: target earner that you want in this offense. He's projected
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: for us to have over one hundred and fifteen targets. Now,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: I will say on the other side, Courtland Sutton still
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: projected to have one hundred over there, but Courtland Sutton's
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: you know, a year older. And I'm looking at Jalen
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Wattle as someone that averaged seventy five receptions a little
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: over one thousand yards in his five years in Miami,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: And so there's a there's a quarterback upgrade. There's just
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: and off. I struggled too though to say offensive upgrade,
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: because we know how good Mike McDaniel is. But I
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: do think there's something there where you have to look
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: at the targets and the volume and say to yourself, well,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: this should probably work. And this team was really good
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: last year, like they were a broken ankle away from
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: going to the super Bowl probably, And it's just one
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: of those things where it's not I think it's not
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: the sexiest name. He's wide receiver sixteen for me in
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: my rankings, so he's not inside the top twelve. But
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: someone that can earn a ton of targets in an
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: offense that could yeah, be ascending. I like him.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: It should be much more efficient than it was a
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: year ago. What about the messy backfields or even handcuffs
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: that you prioritize or are there some guys I was
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: looking I was doing some Emmett Johnson research the backup
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: for the Kansas City Chiefs. Speaking of those dynasty drafts,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: are there guys that you feel like, hey, if you
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: have this stud you've got to get the backup?
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: I think you know this, Lens. I think it's really
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: important that if you are drafting guys that have injury
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: history right, that you handcuff, that you just say, hey,
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: if this is going to work out, you know, I
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: need to make sure to do that. I think Kenneth
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: Walker is a perfect example of that because you know
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: he's missed time in Seattle. We loved him. He's an
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: explosive back I think the big question for him is
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: is he going to be able to keep up with
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: all the potential touches that they're going to give him.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: And they're going to utilize him in the passing game too,
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: because they didn't add any wide receivers to this group either.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: So I think it's important to handcuff, you know, when
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: when you need to. I think some of the interesting
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: ones where these backfields we have question marks is like
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: base Shall Tuton, right Tutin and looking at Chris Rodriguez,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: and I've come around more a lot more to someone
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: like base Shall Tuton because at the beginning of the
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: year is like, well, they're brought in Chris Rodriguez and
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: he spent time in Kentucky with William Cohen, So how
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: is this going to work out? You still have la
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Quinn Allen over there too, who's going to catch a
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: little bit of passes. But if you like him at costs,
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: I actually haven't drafted much base schell Tutin because paying,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: you know, a round five price tag, that's not usually
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: how I build my teams. In those rounds. I'm usually
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: getting wide receivers. But he's not a bad one to
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: you know, throw throw something on if you want to
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: wait and get Chris Rodriguez. There's a huge gap between
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: the two. And then I'd say, like one that one
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: that's interesting is Tampa Bay because people have really written
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Bucky Irving off and so it's a little bit messy
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: because it could be three guys, right, Bucky Irving, Kenneth Gainwell,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Sean Tucker, and so Kenneth Gane Weell is the one
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: that I'm gonna have the most exposure to because he's
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: going to be that pass catching running back kind of
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: like they were Shad White. They go ahead fill that
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: role for him. But if Bucky Irving stays healthy, because
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: he not only went through injuries last season, but he
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: had some you know, mental stuff going on, stuff behind
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: the scenes that I don't think anyone really knew what
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: was happening. Because these guys, at the end of the
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: day are just human beings, and so I think that
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: can take a lot away from the fields as well.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: So there's this opportunity for Kenneth Gainwell to get the
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: pass catching work, Sean Tucker still get the goal line work.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: But yeah, Bucky Irving's someone I also haven't drafted. It's
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: more Kenneth gane Well over there.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Speaking of running backs, are you give any thoughts on
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: what are you doing with Jeremiah Love. I mean you have,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: first of course, about the quarterback situation. You also have
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: still but people compare him to the gente situation. But
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Genty got a ton of the workload in Arizona. They
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: could be in shootouts, but they also still have Aljier
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Connor Benson is still there. So what do you make
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: of the of Jeremiah Love going into the season.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: I love Jeremiah Love at cost because I think what
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: people I think we're over correcting and sometimes we do
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: this in fantasy where we make it a one for
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: one situation because you're right, Ashton genty was a first
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: round pay last season and if you drafted him, you
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: got pretty burned. But he still didn't have a bad year, right,
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: he finished right outside the top twelve. So to me,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: I love Jeremiah Love though, because at cost you're getting
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: him at the end of the second round, and probably
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: in redraft formats, like if you're going into your home legues,
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: you'll probably get him in the third especially if you're
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: drafting on ESPN. So at cost, I look at that
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: and I say, okay, are we drafting him close closer
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: to the ceiling? Like maybe, but it's way better than
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: getting him as the you know, RB seven or RB
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: eight and him finishing outside the top twelve when he's
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: going as the RB thirteen off the board. So I
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: love Jeremiah Love. I think the only thing that can
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: you know, kill that, and what will bring him down
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: is having Tyler El's year there, because like Tyler ELL's
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: year in Atlanta, he was stealing you know, goal line
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: work from Bijon and all of us were like trying
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: to throw things at our TVs and being like, why
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: the hell are they doing this? Like it's Bijon Robinson.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: But I still think he could potentially have that role
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: here for the Cardinals. I don't know. I don't even
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: know if James Connor makes the team at the at
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: the end of this, Like, I don't know if he's
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: still going to even be on this roster. So I'm
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: not necessarily worried about the other guys, But Jeremiah Love
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: at cost. At some point you have to look at
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: that and say, well, I think the risk is baked
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: into this price, and so I'm going to take him.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Even though it's a bad team, even though we don't
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: expect him to score that much, it's still someone that's
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: going to get a ton of volume, and at the price. Again,
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: I'm just always gonna mention the price. It's the third round,
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: I think is a really good place to get him for,
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: you know, the guy that went that early in the draft.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Endyll, you have me properly hyped for my upcoming fantasy
• 43:55

• 45:02
  Speaker 1: And dol was awesome. She's got our minds firmly wrapped
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: around the fantasy world. So what Stucky and I are
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: going to do is plant our flag on a fantasy
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: sleeper for the twenty twenty six season. Mind flag in it.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Shut up, I'm trying to plant my flag here.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're really planting your flag in that deck. Who
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: do you think is going to break out among the
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: guys we'll market at post round six as the as
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the sleeper portion of the draft. Stucky, who you looking at?
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Deep deep, deep, deep deep sleeper? I already mentioned Julie.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: It's sticking with tight ends. Let's go with Greg dolcic
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: I I for looking at like where he's being drafted, Like,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: what is it? Does he even have an adp.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Uh. He's being drafted one hundred and ninety fourth, which
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: let's see, that would be round sixteen, so that would
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: be at the very end. That'd be like he's right
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: around the kickers and the defenses.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this point, I mean, that's pretty crazy to me.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: For he was very efficient last year and the routes
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: that he did run. But for isn't there a world
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: where he leads the Dolphins and targets, right?
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: I think that that's probably not only is there a world,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I think it's the world that we're living in.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wide receiver room. I don't think it's slowick, so
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: like we've seen tight ends get a lot of targets
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: in his offenses before the defense is probably gonna be bad.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: So like, yeah, I think he's well worth a sleeper
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: selection in fantasy.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Drafts, basically free. I love that. I really like Blake Korhum.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: This year we saw him start to steal some work
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: from Kyon Williams last year. Six touchdowns, five point one
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: yards per carry. He's the more explosive of the two.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: He forced missed more miss tackles last year than Kyrien
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Williams did. Williams is really expensive in terms of like
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: from a real life contract standpoint, so I don't think
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: they're just gonna push him to the side, but he's
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: a slight of build back. If he goes down, I
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: think Korum could be a league winner behind that Rams
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: offensive line, And you don't need Williams to go down
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: in order for Korum to be successful. He's a must
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: have handcuff and fantasy, but he's I think he's got
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: plenty of standalone value as well.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and if the Rams are a powerhouse and their
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: defense gets that much better, right, they're blowing out a
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: lot of teams, they're running it a lot late, and
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: he's probably getting even more of a workload.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: And you can bet his rushing yards over if you'd like,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: If you agree with me and you want to make
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: some bread off of it over six seventy four and
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: a half at minus one ten over on DraftKings stuck.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: He likes Greg dulcich my Dolphins tight end, and I
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: like Blake Korum, the backup for the La Rams.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: I was looking for Greg Dulciic markets. The only thing
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: you can bet is most regular receiving tou touchdowns four
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: hundred to one. The next player to record one hundred
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: and fifty plus receiving yards in a game, Greg Dulcicic,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: which I would not recommend betting. But who did the
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Dolphins start with? Again?
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, Dolphins have to start anytime, anytime touchdown Greg
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: dulcic Week one. I kind of like looking at that route.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, four hundred to one lead, the lead the league
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: and receiving touchdowns. That would be hilarious.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: But that's pretty bold, pretty bold. Go and go and
• 48:36
