2:08
and me today it as around say
2:10
might is sick as a dog. Or

bear? Rigorous sitting and they. Yell.
2:19
So it's you and I. And that's okay.
2:21
I think that makes for a great so.
2:24
You. And I have also just
2:27
completed our initial run through
2:29
of. The. Twenty Twenty
2:31
Four Staff projections for every single
2:33
offensive player in the National Football
2:35
League? Yes, we have. It was
2:37
a grueling labor of love and
2:39
this is only the first go
2:41
through. Will love this. Would be
2:43
updating things non stop when superstars
2:45
like doing Guyton sign right at
2:47
certain places. but oh, they'll back
2:49
on. My. Be I said
2:51
superstar So yeah me was it, it's it.
2:53
but it it took a lot of work
2:56
and or it's nice to have the first
2:58
set done. The. Got a way
3:00
to happen? And. Just like hunkered
3:02
down exam Very Daves D. As
3:04
it takes me too long if
3:07
there's any noise in a moment
3:09
and I have. Different. Processes
3:11
for completing. Our.
3:14
Statistical. Projections.
3:16
Yes, Very diff. Yeah, mine is really good.
3:19
Slump. Mine. Is also prefer
3:21
it slip. Yeah, I don't know. I think it
3:23
is good. I think your process is good. It's
3:25
just that. Ah, sometimes you end
3:27
up in this place of desperation because.
3:30
Normally I am done before you.
3:33
And. It was not the case this year.
3:35
you started very early. This is the
3:37
forgot a way to of wilderness yard
3:39
arts or tenth year are doing the
3:41
show. This is first year I was
3:43
the first one to finish because of
3:45
the wilderness. I think the woodland creatures.
3:48
They helped. They certainly did. Yes, are you and
3:50
I? we We went through our first run
3:52
through. We been. It's. Fine
3:54
When you get done standing out, all these
3:56
players are least the first draft of the.
3:59
Which. All those into. The Drop your. That's where all
4:01
of our rankings come from. All of
4:03
our projections and everything or in there. It's
4:05
also what allows your custom scoring format stood
4:07
you know if if if you do things
4:10
where you know whether you six point or
4:12
four point or you do have extra bonus
4:14
for tight ends at this you know whatever
4:16
your league is. You plug in your stats
4:18
and and we have this the statistical backing.
4:21
Yeah, so you can yeah, exactly. contort the
4:23
rankings to your league style. That's part of
4:25
the you to case customization. But.
4:27
It's fun when we kind of get done with
4:29
the only looked like at for example. My.
4:32
First run thrive Marvin Harrison Junior Somebody
4:34
that people are very excited to see
4:36
where he gets that it's I admit
4:38
number nine. And. I think you've
4:41
got him. I have all around sixteen
4:43
I have. I'm a little bit lower.
4:46
Right now he I believe he's my wide
4:48
receiver. seventeen. In half ppr
4:50
scoring. His. Upside is through the
4:53
roof though. I don't blame anyone taking him
4:55
as a top ten wide receiver. Is there
4:57
a name on your initial rankings at any
4:59
position? That. You
5:02
are embarrassingly high on. And.
5:05
Would have preferred I didn't bring it
5:07
up and could adjust it. And.
5:09
Then come back and tell me the number
5:11
later. So if it's the with this, this
5:13
is the weirdest one. It's it's It's so
5:16
so so silly to say that you're embarrassed
5:18
of the sky. Number One. Because.
5:20
He literally might be the best player of
5:22
all time in an Nfl, but I was
5:24
genuinely. Whole heartedly
5:26
shocked. When. I finish my rankings
5:29
and saw the path. My home's was my
5:31
quarterback, one and six point scoring formats. Now
5:33
obviously he's been there before us. Not like
5:35
an outlandish thing, but you know who's the
5:37
quarterback eight last year that the system that
5:39
they've been employing is more dink and dunk.
5:41
And while I do think he's upgraded his
5:43
weapons, I was just. I. Was surprised
5:46
to see that's how it it landed. but.
5:49
Most part of my process is going
5:51
through the and tired of the teams
5:54
and seeing if it is a liar
5:56
Be hired t guardians because I I
5:58
I I love good. P Team.
6:01
And. When you look at. Marquees.
6:04
Brown added to this team and you look
6:06
at Xavier Worthy added to this team and
6:08
you still have all the other cast of
6:10
characters you know, Possible Suspense and notwithstanding for
6:12
Rusty Rice. It
6:14
at all compiled up to where I
6:17
think that patted my home's is going
6:19
to have a bounce back Season statistically
6:21
obviously won the Superbowl but for fantasy
6:23
purposes. I. My more in on him especially
6:25
when you combine that with fact that because he had
6:27
a down year. He's. Not going to be like
6:29
last year he was in the second round of your draft.
6:32
Most. Quarterbacks:
6:34
That you you would define as a pocket
6:36
passer. Require.
6:38
An outlier to high and
6:40
touchdown season. Which. Often
6:43
times is difficult to throw into your staff
6:45
projections when you look at averages. So.
6:47
It's rare when a. Touchdown.
6:49
Dependent I have a quarterback ends up that high in
6:52
the rankings. My. Home's is very much.
6:54
Like. Worthy, much like Rodgers was
6:57
during his peak. Of. Projecting
6:59
those kind of years, But.
7:01
I haven't met three. My.
7:04
Ah surprise that it for in
7:06
six points morning. Which.
7:08
Was I was different? and then I've Evan
7:10
Engram sitting at three a tight and yeah
7:13
that one which you know is not part
7:15
of my brain know you're very anti ingram.
7:18
And that is surprising. I've
7:20
got editing room at my
7:22
tightened nine. At. The I I
7:24
I just look at I'd always her i
7:26
normally like to keep him yeah let you
7:28
know low in tied in one where does
7:30
where he doesn't matter no lo lo and
7:32
Titan one matters And so he's coming off
7:34
a season where he almost set the you
7:37
know reception record. Played. A lot
7:39
of games without Christian Kirchner underneath. Area
7:41
of the field where I think that
7:43
boost that him up. Obviously, there's a
7:46
ton of targets vacated here between you
7:48
know, the departures of They Jones and
7:50
Calvin Ridley, So if he he's he's
7:52
an interesting player to debate. Ah, whereas
7:54
Jaden Daniels on your first run through
7:57
when you talk about let's do the
7:59
rookies sir. Rookie Quarterbacks: Jaden Daniels,
8:01
Jane Daniels I was surprised he is
8:03
just outside. My topped off is my
8:05
quarterback. Thirteen fair without him and fourteen
8:08
when you have the ability to rush
8:10
for. You. Know
8:12
the ability to rush for a hundred fifty
8:14
yards and five plus rushing touchdowns. That's usually
8:16
going to be a top two of quarterback.
8:19
It's. Just hard to. You know we were never going to. you
8:21
know do in hurts. Ring. And
8:23
for fifteen touchdowns last year. You're
8:27
never going to project and a
8:29
number like that. And. So that's
8:31
why. Also, in the Uk we've got an upside.
8:34
Meter. In there so you can
8:36
see like not just like, here's what should
8:38
happen. Here's the most likely outcomes, but also
8:40
who's got the chance to just go nuclear?
8:43
Who can explode? Who are you willing to
8:45
take your shots on? And as added ten,
8:47
what's your upside for Jane did not attend.
8:49
Ah for Jaden Daniels won a play a
8:52
while you put. I have met eight. On.
8:55
The outside which is very high. Ah,
8:57
I have let me see I ever met Eight and
8:59
a Half So you suck. Know I am
9:01
the low end of the upside. Yeah I'm
9:04
to get the high end of your like
9:06
you got more upside and you do know
9:08
his You do feel that way and dogs
9:10
mathematically. Cannibal. Hims that?
9:12
eighteen? So.
9:14
Caleb Williams Ah I still
9:16
see with very. Very.
9:18
High Upside. Play. With
9:21
because of the weapons. And
9:23
it's the find themselves. Great Situation has as
9:25
much talent as anybody that's been coming in.
9:28
The only obvious difference for fantasies? He's not
9:30
the. Your five hundred plus
9:32
rushing yard type a guy because
9:34
fancy scoring is stupid unbroken for quarterbacks.
9:37
Where. They score more for running than I do for
9:39
passing for the exact same many yards. Is this always
9:41
unfair? You've got the very
9:43
succinctly prepared. It's still do we need
9:46
it down, just a drop. I
9:48
think I'm on a drop businesses where he
9:50
can just explain. A his disdain.
9:52
Yes, Not going to say no, I know
9:55
it's not going to say move on brother
9:57
as I've moved up. I play moved on
9:59
Ice good. Now has moved on but I
10:01
still look for you. Sometimes you need an agent
10:03
for teams and I will try to speak truth
10:06
into the darkness. Now we
10:08
didn't add testosterone levels to the rankings.
10:10
This you may outside meters and risk
10:12
meters of know. Hi. T.
10:15
Because that would be the Chargers this year,
10:17
right? But I saw you put us in
10:19
Herbert. yet I'm a little higher. Old Abby:
10:21
Yeah, Noble, you thought he was gonna be.
10:23
That was. definitely. May. Be
10:25
far more surprising the Paxman homes because.
10:28
right? Now government's top of quarterback and
10:30
obviously her for herber is. Very
10:33
talented real world quarterback, but he's
10:35
lost. Most. Of his weapons and as
10:37
a team it's gonna run the ball. So you
10:39
know for a pocket guy to really be up
10:41
there, you gotta have thirty five touchdowns. You don't
10:43
see him thrown thirty five touchdowns as here in
10:45
this system. With these weapons. But. You have
10:47
many top twelve I do. I haven't running the ball
10:50
quite a bit more. Well I I do as well.
10:52
I I think what people need to realizes. Of
10:55
when. You have rankings that go top
10:57
to bottom. Like to put her
10:59
in there that pushes other players out like a
11:01
Day Daniels or Us. A to or. Or.
11:04
A Jared Goff for or whatever
11:06
stafford. Ah, So. You.
11:09
Know. They can be misleading
11:11
at times when you have rankings ago
11:13
top to bottom because. I
11:16
was talking about this this morning. rookie
11:18
wide receivers, for example. My. Highest
11:20
ranked is Harrison and nine of got
11:22
neighbors and seventeen. And and
11:25
Roma Dunes a he's down in the
11:27
forties right now. But. That
11:29
doesn't mean that Roma Dunes is not can be
11:31
worthy of your roster. Discusses outside the Top Thirty
11:33
Six. A lot of the
11:35
times these players. Running backs, wide
11:38
receivers at the roof. You know when the rookies
11:40
they earn. Snaps. Opportunities.
11:43
Second, Half of the year can be a
11:45
lot stronger than the first half of the yourself.
11:47
There's nuance there, That's what Upside sectors into. So.
11:49
I just thought we'd walk through a little bit of
11:52
it. But. Yeah, I
11:54
kyle's pointing out since twenty fourteen. Three.
11:56
Point seven rookie wide receivers per season finishes
11:59
thought thirty said the options. So. Maybe
12:01
it's not a didn't A Maybe it's Mcconkey. I've
12:03
got maybe on Roman Wilson. Yeah, I'm done with
12:06
hard in my top thirty six right now. So.
12:08
I believe I've got three rookies right now.
12:10
My top thirty six, all of the. Player
12:14
by player statistical projections they launched
12:16
with the Utica on. June.
12:18

12:49
as well. Or I
12:51
quick question of the day. Jason Now boy.
12:56
This one comes from Marcus. Smart.
13:00
As with a k. Marcus. M A
13:02
R K U S Marcus. Smart.
13:05
How we spent over here? Well, He's.
13:08
From Germany opens your. Thanks.
13:10
For the great work do you guys believe in
13:13
charges? Wide Receiver Clinton Johnston. I. Don't get
13:15
why so many people seem to quit on him. Seems.
13:18
To put in a ton of work and a new
13:20
coaching staff could mean a fresh start. And
13:23
aren't off? The ton of work is correlating
13:25
to the video circulating right now of him
13:28
working out with Cardinals. Ricky. Seen: I'm Marvin
13:30
Harrison Junior High and don't have you seen
13:32
that yet seen that? Don't don't use. That's
13:34
a video of him physically exhausted. Seven? Yeah,
13:37
you guys go to the both are some
13:39
places like one of them. Looks.
13:41
Like a sensational super
13:43
route running. Gazelle.
13:46
And by compare here's been looks much better
13:48
is some meat meat? Maybe it's just by
13:51
comparison because you're running next the Marvin Harrison
13:53
Jr. but the quins on some does not
13:55
quite look as fluid. But
13:57
let's talk about Queen Johnson as lot of people over
13:59
said. Him and Dynasty leagues. Last
14:01
year had some. I
14:04
would say headline catching drops. The.
14:06
Kind of drugs that were played over and over
14:08
and over again on twitter. Where
14:11
people laughed and or consequential as
14:13
well. very much Yeah the or
14:15
When the Habit I I went
14:17
back and I I watched every
14:20
target and reception of Quinn Johnston.
14:23
Last. Season I heard tale of the. It.
14:25
Took eleven minutes. I
14:28
don't know if that's a lot, but I don't think
14:30
that it on a lot. No, that's not a lot.
14:32
That's the problem for continue. What did you see on
14:34
so. I say that because.
14:37
What? The film doesn't show. Is
14:39
every blaze not targeted? And.
14:42
There are a lot of those. His.
14:44
Targets for out run thirteen point seven
14:46
percent. That's thirty nine out of forty
14:48
two first round rookie wide receivers over
14:50
the last decade, so didn't get targeted
14:53
a lot. Low. Yards for out
14:55
run. Thirty three
14:57
out of forty two in target percentage.
15:00
And had opportunity with my coins going
15:02
down. I
15:05
will say this: I watched every single play that
15:07
he made on the entire year. every target, every
15:09
drop, Every. P I call. Several.
15:12
Of his drops. Came. On place
15:14
where it he did draw pass interference penalty
15:17
is. There. Were. Three
15:20
real bad. Real. Bad
15:22
drops. He. Did make
15:24
big plays. he made hands catches. Cross.
15:27
The middle. He made plays
15:29
down the field. Ah,
15:32
You. Know there were about shoulder throws and some report
15:35
he was building with. Just heard that I thought
15:37
were. Pretty
15:39
great place. Ah,
15:41
I'm. So. I thought
15:43
it was better than the dropped surveyed like
15:45
the story of of Opportunities and when he
15:47
met when he got them there were more
15:49
plays that he made then I thought he
15:51
did. But.
15:54
The question isn't going to be like that
15:56
should be that the given to me your
15:58
first on wide receivers makes a place. Yeah.
16:00
So my son to be. How many opportunities are you getting
16:02
to make them? You.
16:04
Know in in. Could. He be the one.
16:07
Okay so let me let me ask you this
16:09
to turn to ruin just like two seconds into
16:11
what you said. Your. First round
16:13
wide receiver. Let me give you a
16:15
hypothetical situation. Okay, you are a first
16:17
round wide receiver. You. Go
16:19
to a good quarterback. Yeah.
16:22
And you are the number two in Targets Like
16:24
you are set. your gets a little toward Madison.
16:27
Last year is an example of this year's rent.
16:29
Wide receiver goes to these a quarterback ease the
16:31
clear number two in the office but it like
16:33
he's not. On. The banshees on the field.
16:36
Given. Just that to nearest thing you not
16:38
a person Aqua Johnson, not Jordan Addison. What
16:41
stat line would you be expecting for
16:43
a first round once you were on
16:45
the field as the water to do
16:47
for good quarterback. Awesome! Class and
16:49
let me come up with an answer for yes.
16:53
I did it. So you're on the feel ball
16:55
all season long. Is. All season long
16:57
wedding. Want to seventy? Where would you.
17:00
You. My number one may be place own if I am of
17:02
the snaps and and what number would you need to be to
17:04
where he said I said okay with his his. Yeah.
17:06
I would say probably just
17:08
a. A. Hair above
17:10
what Jason did last year. Because.
17:13
I don't feel like Jason's rookie season was, but
17:15
is it was what like six sit on Evangelize
17:17
the about seven hundred fifty. Eight
17:19
hundred yards and is the seventeen games sees?
17:21
Yeah, So. Seven Hundred seven hundred
17:23
and Fifty a hundred yards. And
17:26
Sixty gets look at Fifty Five to
17:28
Sixty gets his. Let me give you
17:31
a sample of when Johnson. Now.
17:33
Quinton so got off to a slow start.
17:35
But also Mike Williams Gunfire with love Finn
17:37
is it wasn't for. The. Fittest
17:39
was without us and Herbert, So that's not
17:41
fair either. How can you got a rookie
17:43
year adding where it's not really fair? Your
17:45
your. Brand. New your first couple
17:47
games, right? First couple games of Justin Jefferson's
17:50
incredible rookie season. He didn't light. And.
17:52
You had Mike Williams their. The.
17:54
End of the year Know doesn't herbert. However,
17:57
there was a six game period. Where. He
17:59
was the number two. He. Was Mike
18:01
Williams was gone and Herbert was there six
18:03
games. And. He
18:05
has a Greek food. Here. Would
18:07
be his. And and for the
18:09
record he breed seventy four percent of those snapped
18:12
so he was on the he was the wide
18:14
receiver to for the steam sudden up real nice.
18:17
Oh, here's the total stat line. If
18:19
he played it, that's that address. For
18:21
standing games, it would have been fifty
18:23
three receptions. The have four five hundred
18:25
and four yards. And
18:27
three touchdowns. So.
18:30
That would believe that's not the end of the
18:32
world up he has been. I wonder what was
18:34
absolutely that? Which is not it's I will surprise.
18:36
Very underwhelming. I would. But
18:38
going jumping up this, you
18:40
know, sixty seven to seventy
18:43
receptions. Seven. Hundred a
18:45
hundred yards and put and. And
18:47
else five or six touchdowns at six
18:49
four to twenty. That. Doesn't
18:51
see me and unrealistic. Would know my
18:53
coins know Keenan Allen. Yeah, so. This
18:56
is why I got Lot Mcconkey as high as
18:58
I have him yet only be the highest their
19:00
right? Yes, not only because I believe in the
19:03
talent, but. When. Johnson has
19:05
a role to play and he still figuring out
19:07
how to do that well in the Nfl. His
19:09
you know going into second year I'm not betting
19:11
or. Why? I'm betting against Obama like
19:13
ones and adore I don't I don't think that's
19:15
a guarantee that he's you know, he gave you
19:17
matter. but you did grab the handle. Oh.
19:19
Yeah I'm like and you're like closing the door
19:22
our run but I'm like t can out for
19:24
so I'm gonna make it in the pro I
19:26
know I'm ready to set it. But.
19:28
The thing is is, he was not a target
19:31
earner. That's the biggest thing. He was on the
19:33
field for seventy four percent of stamps for that
19:35
stretch and did not earn enough targets. Like you
19:37
said, thirty night. that of. Forty Two
19:39
first round draft picks Atari Pereira. That.
19:42
Is. Objectively awful. I think
19:44
that lamb A county will be a target
19:46
earner. He's gonna be open in the spot
19:48
where Herbert is expecting. And so
19:51
that's why I I've got Lad Mccarthy
19:53
coming in here, being immediately. The. Number
19:55
One. You. Know to robbed of, got
19:57
quins answer with about one hundred targets and got lab or
19:59
com. That hundred twenty Five. It's a
20:01
good discussion. I. Haven't closed the
20:03
door on quit Johnston there weren't. There are
20:06
one thing I didn't get the odd from
20:08
watching every single place. There were
20:10
a number of plays where. He
20:12
did not. Achieve separation down
20:14
the field. thus know target as usual
20:16
and it was mostly intermediate routes. It
20:19
was it over the top, down the
20:21
sideline. some of the backdrop he actually
20:23
had separation on as blaze. And.
20:25
Then he did involve i'm not enough underneath
20:27
using the yards over the cats, but in
20:29
the intermediate routes, not enough separation. Kind.
20:32
Of Kelvin Benjamin ask in that sense and.
20:36
Percentage. Chance, he's their number one
20:38
fantasy producer. a wide receiver, I
20:41
have like twenty percent. Yeah.
20:44
Exactly so toy five percent or
20:46
use. Definitely not the leader. For.
20:48
All time favorite. I. Don't know if
20:50
that helps reduce or sally over. There are no papa
20:52
Josh had. Some. Dynasty investment in
20:55
going johnston. Have.
20:57
You are yet. Do you see what we just said
20:59
as a. Programs. Also worked
21:01
as an anti Glen Johnson. He's
21:04
on my team. I'm pro quo. But
21:07
it didn't They are. I'll get it in whatever
21:09
you wanted it to be okay with her. Now.
21:12
Ah, I'm going Johnson's not and. You
21:14
don't think know I will. There's there's there's
21:17
ways that we can paint and narratives we
21:19
can paint, but. Yeah.
21:23
I know you're probably right, Elissa,
21:25
Historical. Situation. Is
21:28
Not good. Dodson Like Josh Dodson.
21:30
Alec. Want fretwell. John.
21:33
Ross Nick, you'll harry jail or acre. those are
21:35
other. Rookie: First
21:37
rounders the that are on the field. I'm
21:39
not running targets. That's a promise a he
21:41
had opportunity if you sat behind someone. And
21:44
you got on the field for twenty thirty. Forty.
21:46
Fifty percent of snaps okay, but like. Yeah.
21:49
Yeah, it's good for them that they weren't the
21:51
brought bowers destination. Cause.
21:54
I think that would have made it easier
21:56
for me. Like the doorbell I've ever read.

patterns and is anything like this isn't a
23:03
to as big as American A Nebraska he.
23:11
News. And notes from around the. Not
23:18
surprising to me, but the Steelers did
23:20
decline the fifth year option for running
23:22
back Naji Harris. A kind of
23:24
yourself. A little surprised. Because.
23:26
You thought they liked them more than they liked
23:29
him more than they should. The Essex one hundred
23:31
percent was not my opinion on our Gm that
23:33
I think he should have to figure out some.
23:35
I'm surprised that the Steelers didn't do it. you
23:38
know, Proud of you, Pittsburgh. Yep, yeah, I mean
23:40
that that they're of well run organization. And I
23:42
think it does tell you something about. Naji
23:45
that is Not. A
23:47
Roseanna look. You know, Nice.
23:50
He. Has not been
23:52
bad. Know. Naji
23:54
has not been what they thought he was. Both of
23:57
those things can be to at the same time. Last.
23:59
Year The one word was. The.
24:03
Better running back and basically every metric he
24:05
he had. A ton of targets. Explosive
24:08
Run rate was seven percent higher than
24:10
ours you harris. Not. He still
24:12
gets into the end zone. And you and
24:14
I talked before the show. Pittsburgh's.
24:16
Greatest accomplishment the draft was.
24:19
The office of line in upgrading what nausea
24:21
in general are and will have to work
24:23
with Flash Court our Patterson. Thank you. I'm
24:26
of the parser. snow. Yet.
24:28
M M. I got a quarterback upgrade it. Whatever
24:30
you want about Russell Wilson and Just Fields are
24:32
not great for I will but there. They.
24:35
Will threaten the difference more than Kenny picketed
24:37
and so that should help the the running
24:39
backs. Honestly, both of these guys Naji and
24:41
German Warren are huge winners. After the draft,
24:44
you know you want to talk about the
24:46
sneaky better in winners. It's not
24:48
that they just didn't draft a running back, it's
24:50
that they drafted know running back and totally improve
24:52
the office. One. I
24:54
this will probably the nicest thing I've ever said.
24:57
but if you want to get boring and
24:59
take nasi. Later. Because.
25:01
Nobody else wants to get boring and ah, probably Lpt. While
25:04
that is. Without. A doubt the nicest
25:06
thing you've ever said. Been know you've been at Nrg
25:08
as long as I can remember. He was the running
25:10
back for his rookie year running or fourteen. Two.
25:13
Years ago and running back twenty one this last
25:15
year Expense fun fact nobody is ever want to
25:17
fancy championship with. That
25:19
is actually an accurate because not to
25:21
harris is a second half of the
25:24
year. Champion. They definitely one one
25:26
the first year because I was when mischievous
25:28
to give him like nine thousand receptions do
25:30
the last two years. and what last year's
25:32
Rb eight over the last half or something
25:35
Young and even two years ago he was
25:37
unbelievable when it came to the second half
25:39
sox. The first half. But. The
25:41
the second half the was very good. Is.
25:43
Going and rb twenty two and espa. That's.
25:45
About where he bomb as gonna ask her if.
25:49
We. Have a bunch of. New. Players:
25:52
The new teams. Mediocre
25:58
signing of the weight. Odell
26:03
Beckham Jr. to the Dolphins. Dj
26:06
Shark to the Chargers.
26:09
Or way digits or put up better numbers than
26:11
all of those. Couldn't johnston season one numbers. So.
26:14
That one is suddenly capades. His dick is probably
26:16
better than Quinn Johnston. Yeah, Chase Claypool
26:18
to the Bills. Boston's.
26:21
Got to the ramps, And.
26:23
This morning were shot any. To.
26:26
The Panthers and he said was maybe Mile Sanders
26:28
is not long for their roster. Yeah me most
26:30
impressive dead cap to deal with if they were
26:32
to get rid of Mile Sanders. But the fact
26:34
that the draft to John of the Brooks they
26:36
weren't part of bringing Miles Sanders and Miles and
26:38
are still has Big name. They're grabbing retard Penny.
26:41
They've already got to be there. It's like. Ah
26:43
feel like you know maybe maybe a
26:46
team is knocking on Miles Sanders door?
26:48
Same Yamada. either deal with dead cap
26:50
or a dead. Not. Him back
26:52
because he is. He had Abbottabad. a
26:54
dull. Just. Remember
26:56
this time last off season. Frank.
27:00
Right was a head coach yeah of the
27:02
Carolina Panthers. A mile sanders
27:04
was supposed to get over four thousand and
27:07
targets. So. I want to. I will.
27:09
I wanted to bring this up his own.
27:11
Not here. but I will. Specific
27:14
to the Frank Reich when I was doing the standing
27:16
in a in own all of this. I
27:18
was looking at the Panthers situation.
27:21
And. I I like
27:24
Dave Canals. I like what he
27:26
did for Gino for Baker for
27:28
the this last year for some
27:31
reason. Why? yeah. But.
27:33
Last year at time I did like Frank. What
27:35
right? Like I I I thought Frank Reich was
27:37
a good hires good for the often says good
27:39
Off his mind he has had success of the
27:41
best that coast and thirty. Now.
27:44
It was bad. It was very very bad. But
27:46
I don't think that he had the weapons. Not
27:48
like the panthers got good when right was gone.
27:53
From. The top down. When.
27:55
Organizations are run poorly.
27:58
Whoever. The coaches. Is.
28:01
Set up for a harder time, it succeeded, this
28:03
is why my is a David Tablets is a
28:05
David Tepper. com at this is David Tapper at
28:07
the. I. Know he came in when he bought
28:09
the franchise was like all excited because he's got
28:11
plenty of money is gonna go hard, is going
28:13
to be aggressive. that's exciting. Look wear sunscreen, the
28:15
mattis be a wig with now we get his.
28:17
we're excited Menace be A comes in and buys
28:20
a team, wants throw money around to make big
28:22
trades and it doesn't always work out. Sometimes you
28:24
gotta get out of the way. David Pepper seems
28:26
very much in the way. The. So
28:28
like I like, they've canals like some of them
28:30
have they made. But if I have to bear
28:32
on whether France I succeeds or loses a lot
28:34
of times, I take that bet at the top.
28:36
I've done that for years and years and years
28:38
and years with browns and most of the time
28:41
it's worked out. With
28:43
death like you know so or tempering your
28:45
expectation off. At
28:48
us said so less. Proved
28:51
by experts. They said well done The it's tough
28:53
when you have a cozy have a lot of
28:56
confidence in the I'm is good Point Frank Reich,
28:58
you like them. Yeah. I mean,
29:00
maybe that was the fourth parties. just, you
29:02
know, not good. But. Hit
29:04
a good chance to so with tapper. Step in and.
29:07
All right, we have some mailbag questions to get
29:10
through which will be fine because we just sit
29:12
around King so have you want to talk about
29:14

29:16
look on into these players. The. Help.

30:41
off with Luke from Maryland. Say.
30:44
Bowlers the to loot from Maryland
30:46
and at a question about redraft
30:48
who Ppr. To. Do guys
30:50
have have been a better season.
30:52
Christian was in a murky brown.
30:55
Thanks. It's
30:58
a good question. Ah, Hollywood Brown if
31:00
you don't know now Kansas City Chiefs.
31:03
And. With.
31:06
The. Rookie: Vaporware. The coming
31:08
in and he in. Then. Mercy.
31:10
Rice having some time away from the
31:13
team, That.
31:16
Will be an opportunity. For.
31:18
Impact for Hollywood Brown. However,
31:21
I have Chris Martin. The.
31:24
Of him. Really? Because I know. I
31:27
know you're didn't regard and so yeah I
31:29
thought you would not have Christian Watson ahead
31:31
of. Brown. Simply because I thought you'd
31:33
have Christen Watson. Behind.
31:36
In the in the Packers packing orders
31:38
I mean Chris Watson as. For.
31:40
Fantasy Purposes of Unity: Your your
31:43
number one packer. Ah Person
31:45
Wants and Jaden Reader both very
31:47
close. I have read higher. Ah,
31:50
He had a nose for the in the last year. Army
31:53
Secrets and Watson Mr see significant amount of
31:55
time have very very close now. When did
31:57
he misses significant amount of time? Was it.
32:00
Every year you ever played. Correct. Okay guy,
32:02
no I haven't similar I I you know Hollywood
32:04
Brown. We want to my here in Arizona for
32:06
the last couple years. And.
32:10
Is. It's hard for me to imagine him coming into
32:12
Kansas City on a one year deal. With.
32:14
A bunch of other establish dink and dunk
32:16
players. With. Chelsea. And.
32:18
Rice and you know soon to be you
32:21
know Tony I'll be back and Watson I'll
32:23
be getting targets and. Know a gray
32:25
and. You. Know they be worthy getting
32:27
worked into the lineup like it's just hard
32:29
for me to look at that and say.
32:32
I was gonna be a monster. I am with
32:34
about one hundred targets. The. Promises
32:36
Petrie last year was fifty percent. He.
32:39
Was. Obviously.
32:42
Bad. Last year like you watch him on the
32:44
field. And he was the oh
32:46
the heel problem and so whatever excuses want
32:48
to say, but he was a bad wide
32:50
receiver, straight up. Was. Unhelpful and
32:52
there wasn't demand for him the sauces
32:54
and know at a well. which tells
32:56
you something, so it's either it was
32:58
the heel issue. And.
33:01
Maybe he's healthy because he's been a quality
33:03
receiver in the past. I he's been
33:05
a guy that has, you know, had good stretches.
33:08
You know, a great collegiate production,
33:10
obviously? And now he has the
33:12
better quarterback in a we might be in love
33:15
with love but he's no packs for homes. So
33:17
if you want to go tie breaker and take
33:19
Marquees Brown I'm fine with that. Gonna go tie
33:21
breaker Know. Well. Here's
33:23
the ironic part. like if you're worried about
33:25
the injury to Hollywood Brown. And.
33:28
Then you have to be worry about the injury
33:30
history. To. Christen Watson.
33:33
I'm worried about the i just think the better younger
33:35
player is the one I'm gonna go with. Middle.
33:38
Of the Brandon five years of playing fantasy football.
33:40
Because. that's what he the the place as if
33:42
upon his also that india he's a huge fans
33:45
probably. Forty. Six Thirty Four
33:47
Twenty Three Forty Six Fifty One.
33:51
So. I don't care what the reasoning
33:53
is, At. the end of the
33:55
at the end of the year he he any
33:57
that over one hundred targets for of five years
34:00
So something just seems to go awry
34:03
and his catch percentage isn't any 63 50 I
34:07
Don't know like he's gonna make big plays for them But
34:10
he's either new in the ass more than he is their new
34:12
you know number one target I
34:14
think it's closer on the MBS side so I have
34:16
Watson. I mean neither of these guys. I have super
34:18
high Yeah, neither of these guys. Do I have super
34:20
high either, but I'm gonna go Watson as well Watson
34:22
has been Extremely explosive in the
34:25
games. He's played the problem with Watson is
34:27
he hasn't played a lot of games you
34:29
know he missed Pretty
34:31
much half the season last year and
34:34
in that stretch off tissue issues Yeah, he
34:36
still had two top ten fantasy production Games
34:39
in that that short time he did play that his
34:41
rookie year he missed a bunch of that But when
34:43
he got on the field he was a dominator when
34:46
he had what he had like He
34:48
had like seven touchdowns and four
34:50
games or something insane so fantasy
34:52
points in a half point Looking
34:55
at Green Bay and where you have them on your
34:57
initial run-through. I am curious Because
35:00
we had this question about a month ago when we did
35:02
our early ranking shows And we hadn't started
35:04
them all out yet, and it was gut Where
35:07
are they stats wise what is your
35:09
order between the between the wide receiver
35:11
core? Yeah, Watson read Dobbs and Wicks
35:13
I would say so I've got Christian
35:15
Watson Ahead then
35:18
Jaden read then Dobbs Okay,
35:22
I have read Significantly ahead
35:24
then why then Watson then Wicks
35:27
then Dobbs so what is your
35:29
what's what's your? Target
35:31
situation there just just targets because obviously
35:34
Watson will be total targets a percentage
35:36
just total targets. I'm gonna seven for
35:38
Jaden read okay I've got him
35:40
at 89 which so you'll fewer than last year
35:42
a little are you making a little? Well
35:45
Jaden read last year his his big games were
35:47
when Christian Watson was gone so the splits when
35:49
you when you look at those it was just
35:54
different world of utilization for Jaden read
35:57
not that he was any worse of a player, but
36:00
But yeah, and there's a lot of mouths to
36:02
feed in this offense. Yep, I agree. That
36:05
one's one where I believe the talent of
36:08
Reid and Watson will bring
36:10
them to the top, but it's
36:13
an interesting offense. It
36:16
might be, like their offense could be better than Kansas
36:19
City's for sure. Kansas City's
36:21
got a really good defense. I
36:24
think that the Green Bay offense could be a better
36:26
offense. That's weird to say.
36:28
I know. I think that I wanted to
36:30
be like, ew, you're so stupid. Right. I
36:32
think it's true. They really could be. Instagram
36:35
question from Brooke Cifu says, thoughts on Johan
36:38
Dodson with the new quarterback? Last
36:41
year he got his cardio in, 635 routes run. That
36:45
is the fifth most run routes
36:48
in the NFL. You
36:51
wouldn't have known it. That's not a full-time player. That's
36:53
a super full-time player. Four
36:56
touchdowns on the year. Four finishes
36:58
in the top 40. 49
37:02
receptions. I had a hard time with them. You
37:05
look at the depth chart at wide receiver
37:07
and you're like, Dodson has to do something.
37:09
Like if Jane Daniels is anything, Dodson has
37:11
to have some production. Curtis
37:14
Samuel had over 100 targets, whatever it was, 119
37:16
last year. He's gone.
37:18
Yeah, Luke McCaffrey is a day two pick
37:21
barely. It was like the supplemental day two.
37:25
He's literally listed on the depth chart as the third
37:27
wide receiver right now. Yeah,
37:29
so I've got him as the third. Johan
37:33
Dodson will be very, very involved.
37:35
He's obviously going to be running routes. The question is, will he
37:38
be targeted? Because he wasn't last
37:40
year and he was his rookie season. How
37:42
many targets did you give him? I
37:44
got him at 89. So, looky there. And
37:47
not as many catches as targets, that's for sure.
37:50
In the end, don't hear what I'm not
37:52
saying, 90 targets is a good amount of targets. I've got
37:54
him as my very not so nice wide receiver 69. So
37:57
I'm not a huge believer. Painful.
38:00
What? Happened there. Because. From a
38:03
promising perspective as a rookie he he came in
38:05
on fire Double digit touchdowns what am I as
38:07
if you take a nap and he said you
38:09
know what before the season. I'm
38:11
going to tell you that. They're. Going to throw
38:13
the ball more? never every team missile. I
38:15
wouldn't have believed you. but okay I'll say I'll
38:18
let me let me go with that mental exercise
38:20
will throw the ball more than any team in
38:22
football. he had seven touchdowns in is written August
38:24
Seven Yeah in his rookie year it but only
38:26
plane twelve games. Or
38:28
a voicemail question. How this is
38:31
Victoria from Maryland? I was wondering
38:33
if you guys start testing feals
38:35
of the a full time starter
38:37
or Aaron Rodgers move attire, which
38:39
one's gonna happen? First things My
38:42
As Officer. Okay so
38:44
I question kind of changed on
38:46
a ah. Justice.
38:49
Field which will happen for is feels as
38:51
a full time starter and Rogers retirement. I'm
38:54
gonna go Rodgers or Time. I. Don't think just
38:56
some fields will be a full time starter. Know.
38:58
What do you mean by that demand? Are you
39:00
going to get him or lines? No Sense. Because
39:02
fulltime full time Starter Them for a week. Full
39:04
time starter is. Going. Into the season
39:06
that is there. Clear started and even if
39:08
he doesn't play the whole season but that's
39:11
what Assange yeah like a reminder and Carolina
39:13
started that way. interact with him and Marcus
39:15
Mario to in Atlanta. Got a chance. Those
39:17
are what your dreams are right now for.
39:19
Right now we're. Ah, I'm addicted.
39:21
Dream to to be honest and he's he's
39:23
This is last year the deal resident a
39:25
necessity to pick up the fifth year so
39:27
he's gonna be of unrestricted free agent. No
39:29
matter how good he plays a Sears I
39:31
can be a franchise type of player. So.
39:34
That means. The. Best case for
39:36
feals. Is that they split time
39:38
this year or or or whether because of
39:40
play from Russell Wilson or because of injury
39:43
to Russell Wilson Fields comes in and is
39:45
very very good. Wins games with the Steelers.
39:47
the gets the contract be the Steelers starter
39:49
next year. That's. The only
39:52
path. Rodgers.
39:54
Retirement I got. I'm gong. I agree.
39:56
Rodgers retirements. Ah, or another voice
39:58
mail. Or. Three boys the. The guy
40:00
that I have a question for you guys I
40:02
was wondering what are some of the biggest rules?
40:04
Are your favorite rules around? Cheaper? Leave. I'm
40:07
thinking about doing a keeper league of
40:09
my friends. I've only done Dynasty so
40:11
far. sizes wondering why your guys' opinions
40:13
are on. Kind. Of the rules and stuff.
40:16
And how you go about starting Keep Really
40:18
Thanks! Everybody I've
40:20
ever explained are keeper league to really
40:22
enjoys the format said we want to
40:25
get into that everybody have ever played
40:27
with. Our key performance loves playing the
40:29
format so there's all there's a thousand
40:31
ways to play. Keep a leash. When
40:34
we first started our league which is going into your
40:36
seventeen I believe. We. Had
40:38
on you could just take. Three.
40:41
Keepers you could keep on for a certain amount
40:43
of years maximum. And. They could be
40:45
at any position in given that and I was
40:47
there was it? You don't You don't lose a
40:49
certain draft pick for the player you know it's
40:51
not based on around you gotta mrs who's your
40:53
three favorite players from your team you get keep
40:55
him can't keep were more three years but what
40:57
happened is. What?
40:59
Damien Tomlinson happen in and guys
41:01
you know to stalking running backs
41:03
and hoarding. They varied everybody person
41:05
that would reset their keepers number
41:08
so that they were there permanently.
41:11
And we decided to do something different. That.
41:13
I'll explain anything. It introduced a new
41:15
fun day of the year. For.
41:18
The league. And. What we did as
41:20
we we have one. Franchise.
41:23
Player so you would consider that to be the. You.
41:25
Know the king of the keeper so to speak.
41:27
the number one franchise player that players locked on
41:29
your team. If you've got Christian Mccaffrey, you want
41:32
to have a next year you can franchise and
41:34
you just. Com your franchise player.
41:36
Boom! He's on your roster next year! You.
41:38
Then select three more players from your hint
41:41
of season roster. They must
41:43
not match the position of your franchise
41:45
player of you franchise Christian Mccaffrey. And
41:48
you had Breeze on your team. Use
41:50
my is not available correct and so
41:52
then. Those three players go into what's
41:54
called the Keeper lottery for your team. And
41:56
we have a special day every year. That. we
41:58
jump on zuma people in person and
42:01
literally your keeper lottery, its name's out of a hat.
42:03
Two of them go to your team, back
42:06
to your roster, one goes into the draft.
42:09
So you could take a risk like Jason did
42:11
this year. He wanted to... I put
42:13
Breeze in my lottery. Yeah, because you had a couple running
42:15
backs and you wanted the chance to keep them both of
42:17
them. And
42:20
so that day's really fun every year
42:22
and it means that some really big talent drops back
42:24
into the draft. Somebody lost some... Very cool. And
42:27
Jamar Chase this year. So big
42:29
players go back into the draft. In
42:31
fact, Al Borland, sitting back
42:33
there in Deuces Valley, was on a
42:36
nice five year run of losing the best
42:38
player. He would take a chance every year
42:40
and that player would always go back
42:42
in the draft. What was it? Mark Andrews, Nick
42:44
Chubb? I can't remember all of them, but yeah, those
42:46
were two of them. And then this year you finally
42:48
lucked out. But that's how we do it
42:50
in our keeper league. Yeah, we had Justin Jefferson in
42:52
the lottery this year. We got to keep him. Yeah,
42:54
maybe stop putting such good players in the lottery, bro.
42:58
I had to franchise B-Junk. Yeah, all right,
43:01
your team's pretty good. But Al was also
43:03
a gambler. He is. He wants the upside.
43:05
Well, we'll take a quick break, come back
43:07
with some more questions. And I
43:10
know Kyle's going to put up an article
43:12
on the website, thefantasyfootballers.com that details our
43:15
Ballers League of Record settings, which
43:17
is that three keeper lottery plus
43:19
the one franchise. Everybody
43:21
gets three back on their team, but
43:24
it's fun. It's a fun way to do it. All
43:35
right, this question comes from
43:37
Kingtom33. Who is the number
43:40
one tight end off the board in 2024
43:42
in a standard scoring league? In
43:45
a standard scoring league? Yeah, it's Kelsey. Yeah,
43:48
it's Kelsey. Yeah, for sure. You're
43:50
just looking at, in a standard scoring league,
43:52
you're really, really touchdown focused. And yes,
43:54
Sam LaPorta had 10 touchdowns as a
43:57
rookie. That's great. But his
43:59
utilization? You know, a lot of
44:01
times you'll see all sorts of reports on
44:04
what the expected touchdowns would be for
44:06
a player based on where they were
44:08
targeted on the field. And he very
44:10
much outproduced what his expectation was. You've
44:12
got Travis Kelsey getting the ball thrown too by
44:15
Patrick Mahomes getting little tap passes near the goal
44:17
line. I clearly put all my money
44:19
on him having the most touchdowns this year. All
44:22
right, I'm really excited about this next question
44:24
because it's going to spawn another discussion. Kevin
44:27
L. writes in, he says, if Kendre Miller was
44:29
in this year's rookie class, where would he
44:33
fit into the rankings wise compared to the
44:35
other running backs? So you're talking Benson and
44:37
Brooks and Coram, Marshawn Lloyd, Jaylen
44:39
Wright. He's
44:41
just 21 years old. He
44:44
missed nine games as a rookie, so he's kind of a
44:46
rookie again. Kendre
44:49
Miller. And he's very, very talented. New Orleans
44:51
Saints. New Orleans Saints behind Alvin
44:53
Kamara. To me, there's still the
44:55
round two running backs in John and the
44:57
Brooks. I
44:59
guess Trey Benson was a third rounder, right?
45:02
So you've got to talk about Trey
45:04
Benson, Blake Coram, Marshawn Lloyd. These
45:07
are day two backs who are
45:09
behind incumbents. And that is what
45:12
Kendre Miller is. He's a day two
45:14
back behind Alvin Kamara. So he's in that
45:16
tier. I would certainly put
45:18
him ahead of the Jaylen Rites, Ray
45:20
Davises, those types. So I, yeah,
45:22
and Jamal Williams still rumbling around there too.
45:25
I watched one other player's entirety
45:27
of their snaps, other
45:29
than Quentin Johnson, and who's Kendre Miller. So I watched every
45:31
play he made for the Saints all of last year. I
45:33
did like what I saw. Yeah, because I've seen it, and
45:35
it's good. Jonathan Brooks, I have
45:37
at 36 right now. Kendre Miller at 41. Benson
45:40
at 44. Coram at 45. So
45:43
to put it in, my rankings,
45:45
Kendre Miller is ahead of Benson and Coram. And
45:48
Lloyd. And Ray Davises. But
45:50
for dynasty perspective, he's obviously... I think Kendre Miller... He might
45:52
be as young as a rookie, but he's one year less
45:54
on his contract. Alvin
45:57
Kamara ran for 3.9 yards a carry last year. And
46:01
he was, and Alva Camara as a runner
46:03
on the ground, an inefficient runner on the
46:05
ground, was so much better than Jamal Williams.
46:07
Jamal Williams is done. That
46:10
little fun thing, it's over.
46:12
Yeah, yeah, he scored like one time. Rashad
46:14
White averaged 3.6 on the ground last year.
46:16
So I'm saying that because
46:18
Rashad White was the RB7, Camara was
46:20
essentially a top five, top six guy
46:23
when he came back. Points per game, for sure. And
46:25
so both of those players, they don't
46:27
have to average high yards per carry to be the workhorse
46:29
that gets all the passing game work and be great. But
46:33
I'm telling, like if Alvin Camara went down, like Kendra
46:35
Miller can catch the football. Kendra Miller
46:38
is, I rarely saw him go
46:40
backwards. He
46:42
had explosive plays in the passing game. He's
46:45
a very good player. He was disrupted by injury. I
46:47
love him. And I just don't, I think from a
46:49
sleeper, like you, we can talk about it right now.
46:51
Mike's not here. Like Kendra Miller and
46:53
the sleeper list on the UDK. For sure. For
46:55
sure he should be there. Now, so the
46:58
question here is like if he was in this year's
47:00
rookie draft, I know for sure he's behind John of
47:02
the Brooks, Trey Benson to me. Those
47:04
two guys to me are ahead. Gotcha. Yeah,
47:06
to get back on the question. Yeah, I would. Would
47:09
you, I know John of the Brooks will be ahead of
47:11
him for you. I don't think I'd put, I think I'd
47:13
put Marshawn Lloyd ahead of him. Okay,
47:15
Marshawn Lloyd, is Trey Benson ahead of him? Okay, me too.
47:18
Yeah. So then it's Blake Quorum, Marshawn Lloyd and
47:21
Kendra Miller. Yeah, and
47:23
then I think Quorum and Wright and Davis
47:25
and them are behind him. I liked Kendra
47:27
Miller's film more than either Quorum or Lloyd.
47:30
So I would go Kendra Miller behind Benson.
47:33
Okay. There you go. So
47:35
either three or four. Yeah. To answer
47:37
the question. All right. Another.
47:41
It was a great dynasty target too.
47:43
Yeah. Right now like a trade for target. Had
47:45
a lousy rookie season. No one's like, oh my
47:48
gosh, so excited for him right now. All
47:51
right. Next question from
47:53
Jason on X says when should you
47:55
do your rookie draft in dynasty? So
47:59
You obviously. We wait until after
48:01
the Nfl draft. Some people don't but that so
48:03
insane. I mean you get guys like Roy Franklin
48:05
born in the first round where you know once
48:07
I fall the draft. There's no
48:09
reason to make it as a team. Play.
48:12
That way so do it after the Nfl draft a most
48:14
the league's than I'm in. A. Rookie
48:16
dresser over they are after the Nfl
48:18
draft and immediately after the Nfl draft.
48:20
It's like. That. Thing is over
48:22
we give you like a a chance to go
48:25
to sleep. Take a breath, wake
48:27
up and go use a breed
48:29
during sleep. Either of us di
48:31
di da get a machine. It's
48:33
yeah, it's self. He
48:35
get but to be clear that not a yum. See.
48:37
Fab. You get into bed at? That's right.
48:40
That's right for intubation. I just. I.
48:42
Prefer enjoy the feeling under the words
48:44
pure oxygen. Ah yes so you know
48:46
I think you can laugh away as
48:49
long as you want you can go
48:51
all the way up until it's draft
48:53
season for else you know is for
48:55
for redraft leagues but. The.
48:57
Point of a dynasty league. Is.
48:59
To have fun in the Ossies. So for me, I'm doing
49:02
it right after the Nfl draft. Are
49:05
I Tyson imported Year goodness Help me
49:07
find the Chargers Rb one. Amongst.
49:11
Gas. And Dobbins in the The
49:13
Dell. Sassoon? Yes, yes. Realises Spiller
49:15
still there. And Jump Patterson, an
49:17
alleged Dodson is really, really, really
49:20
easy. I mean, it's it's the
49:22
Gosper, it's ah. it's absolutely the
49:24
Gospels Vid Elsa Soon have. Been
49:28
also soon is a is an
49:30
exciting rookie prospect simply because of
49:32
his. Name is because of
49:35
sympathy with his. Landing spot is a six
49:37
around presidency around or like that people get
49:39
every year most of these six round picks
49:41
a go to a good spot your so
49:43
excited for. And they don't do
49:45
jack squat and. Bit. Else assumes
49:48
not doing jack squat more than likely. Ah,
49:51
The company for Dallas his name. But
49:53
we com, but I'd as soon passed away
49:55
at the age of eighty four and twenty
49:57
twelve. A real that else has this
49:59
and. Honorary you can take the
50:01
name yeah you gotta President offers
50:04
grabs we honors you've it. Also
50:06
soon. So
50:09
that the that atop the name of
50:11
also have online is of a human
50:13
oh no that negotiators me the new
50:15
now they also soon. Yeah. That's
50:17
pretty good, especially for someone that was like
50:19
a salon. Guy. Like he did
50:22
like Sam. like the Del Sur Suda.
50:24
That. C B of is real magazine
50:26
name and unless it's spectacular up the
50:28
real question about this backfield: as
50:31
a kid op. It's because. Taken Dobbins
50:33
is either healthy or he isn't that
50:35
the? That's it. He. If you
50:37
know how it's easy, line a little or allah.
50:40
They. Paid him nothing he has
50:42
fifty thousand dollars and gearing to
50:44
sexist. why is it is guaranteed
50:46
money was reported as fifty thousand
50:48
dollars Fifty thousand but yet know
50:50
I am a hundred Thus like
50:52
this. Fifty. K Yeah, two,
50:54
one Zero. And then as an arma
50:56
that's the kind of caught that you
50:58
cut him you don't even know. Exact.
51:01
You don't notice it on the bus to see
51:03
by A also it works in both directions right?
51:05
It says that this is not an investment they're
51:07
making and him to be something special. But.
51:10
It also costs them absolutely nothing to move on,
51:12
so if he doesn't have it, Expect them
51:14
to be cut. Which. Means if he
51:16
makes the roster. He. Might be
51:18
okay and if both of these guys are healthy of
51:20
take it out of the goat. Gus Edwards are. Just.
51:24
They're ready to go there, who they
51:26
are, At full strength.
51:29
Then. Dinners and argument. The Take a Dobbins is ahead
51:31
of them. take it up as was ahead of them
51:33
when they were both healthy on the same run out
51:35
with. You. Know we have a Roman.
51:38
By the question is, how could he be
51:40
healthy after and a killer? Isn't I this
51:43
pillar he is? I'm going to your three.
51:45
He's averaged two point, three, two point, six
51:47
yards carrying his opportunities as impressive. You.
51:52
Yeah I mean is that this is another
51:54
one of those. You. Know highly
51:56
touted running backs who fell in
51:58
the draft. Most of
52:00
the time highly touted running backs of
52:02
fall in the draft. Do.
52:05
Not work out. Braylon Edwards a brain
52:07
when Alan. I'm I have
52:09
no Braylon else got trouble. Yeah, it's
52:11
a while and plus he's behind Brie
52:14
so you'd sometimes you just gotta
52:16
let these guys go. And there are
52:18
hits Sometimes. For. Sure ah
52:20
that you know they're A, but they are
52:22
the outliers and they are the ten percent.
52:25
Is. Of you're making the bat, you want to be on
52:27
the ninety percent site, Navid down and you going to get
52:29
tired? Williams. But. Karen Williams was.
52:31
So. When we large nine hunter you know you
52:34
know he wasn't as far but third or fourth
52:36
round yeah but like you know care and so
52:38
late in the draft where you just you know
52:40
he was dead to us but the people that
52:42
have Karen on their teams now. They're.
52:44
Not even the people who drafted him in the
52:46
rookie draft season waivers. Yeah, you pick them up.
52:49
Or. I will cause it. I hear Jeff once
52:51
in a two questions why Sandy rarely on
52:53
the Dynasty show. In. When doing
52:55
rookie dress. Do. You do
52:57
Nfl draft or snake draft style.
53:00
Rookie: Dresser all Nfl draft style because it's
53:03
a dynasty and you've got like the entire
53:05
roster together when you're doing a redress like
53:07
a start up. If if you're doing a
53:09
dynasty, start up. Than. A snake. To.
53:12
Make it even. But once these rosters
53:15
are established, And. It you
53:17
know you've got to build it year after year after
53:19
year the worst team gets the best pick in each
53:21
round. Oh you know, in
53:23
in in reverse order. The. All
53:25
the way through the toothpick. Why?
53:28
Aren't you on the lie down as as of
53:30
the reason I don't like Nfl draft science roughly
53:32
that on I'm a snake only man. yeah you
53:34
don't owe me a ride. The snake Big snake.
53:36
I. Know. I
53:38
mean, they'd knock. We've got to. Excellent
53:41
Dynasty. Gentlemen and Cobb
53:43
organ only. Matthew bats and we wanted have
53:45
a baller on there and said Jason and
53:47
Mike have taken the mantle most often. I
53:49
have had occasional appearances and I'm happy to
53:52
continue to do so. Yeah, you're the many
53:54
cooks in one. Kids mean you're just the
53:56
like break glass case of emergency type got?
53:58
Yeah, I'm here when. You know, Jesus.
54:01
Tommy Hearns, he's gotta go home. Made
54:04
fun of her heart rate and should
54:06
I heard go home rather? Ah, Okay,
54:08
so it's Aura their identity. We really
54:10
need to shut this down. Ultimate.
