Speaker 1: you're up first for these Crossroads players. And our guy
Speaker 1: Chris made us killer you know graphic. I don't think
Speaker 1: you've seen it, but this Pat, you named this show
Speaker 1: the Crossroads, which I think is so great. He did
Speaker 1: a Britney Spears um movie. I guess it was a
Speaker 1: Britney Spears movie called Crossroads. He put three of our
Speaker 1: players on it, and I said, well, we gotta get
Speaker 1: some bone thugs in here. You know the Crossroads song
Speaker 1: in this too, so but who's your first Crossroad? Well,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Pat, you want to try. I was just
Speaker 1: gonna say, box. We got to give proper credit to
Speaker 1: the guy behind the scene. Ethan. Ethan is the graphics guy.
Speaker 1: So Ethan cook that up for us, and you know,
Speaker 1: great does great work, great work. Ethan. Yeah, Chris showed
Speaker 1: it off, so I was giving him credit. So but Ethan,
Speaker 1: you made it excellent, excellent work there bo. Who's first
Speaker 1: up on your crossroads here? Like we said before, these
Speaker 1: are guys that you know they've been good, but you're
Speaker 1: kind of at that point like, are these guys gonna
Speaker 1: get any better? Is this what they are? Are they
Speaker 1: gonna start to uh, you know, you know, stumble a
Speaker 1: little bit because the NFL, we know what it stands for,
Speaker 1: not for long, right, Yeah? And I the four guys
Speaker 1: that I put on my list, the first one that
Speaker 1: my mind was a quarterback. And it's not a guy
Speaker 1: that I necessarily love in Dynasty anymore because we just
Speaker 1: saw his replacement, or what could be his replacement, was
Speaker 1: taken in a third round, Ryan Tannehill of the Titans.
Speaker 1: It's like, what do we do with this guy who,
Speaker 1: despite all of his terrible play last year, was still
Speaker 1: a top twelve quarterback in standard scoring? And what do
Speaker 1: you do with a guy who's still scoring fantasy points
Speaker 1: but his direct replacement who does a lot of things
Speaker 1: better than he does. What happens here to the guy
Speaker 1: whose job might dry up in a year or two
Speaker 1: and he's still right now. He's still a viable quarterback
Speaker 1: to Russia, has a great rushing floor. He seems to
Speaker 1: score top five out of all quarterbacks and rushing touchdowns
Speaker 1: every year. He hasn't been bad for fantasy no matter
Speaker 1: how terribly he looks on the field. He's like a
Speaker 1: poor man's Jalen Hurts, where you watch him play football
Speaker 1: and you're like, ooh gross. But then you look at
Speaker 1: the end of the year and he's QB twelve and
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, well that wasn't too bad. If I
Speaker 1: drafted him as my QB two, I'm ecstatic. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: Ryan Danhill for me is ranked a tiny bit higher
Speaker 1: than the ECR. But I'm also thinking, like what if
Speaker 1: what if they don't like what they see from Malik Willis?
Speaker 1: Will they will they continue to nurture that relationship with
Speaker 1: Tannehill because they are still building around that entire team,
Speaker 1: whether it's Tannehill or Willis. I think that team is
Speaker 1: on the rebuild and they could have another second wind
Speaker 1: coming up next year in the year after. Yeah, it fits.
Speaker 1: I've I've heard a lot of uh, you know, talk
Speaker 1: about Ryan Tannehill in particular with you know, um just
Speaker 1: seeing him in drafts and seeing him drop, He's like
Speaker 1: a throw in on a lot of trades right now.
Speaker 1: He's kind of the last guy you want a draft
Speaker 1: as your backup quarterback. You know. The whole offense runs
Speaker 1: through Derrick Henry. We've seen some peaks. It looked like
Speaker 1: that A G. Brown year was very, very good for
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. AG Brown's gone. Now they've invests a little
Speaker 1: bit in this wide receiver position. Obviously with the first
Speaker 1: round pick of tranp Birts. He's got Robert Woods as
Speaker 1: well in tennis. What do you think of Ryan Tannehill
Speaker 1: moving forward here? Yeah, is Bow pointed out he has
Speaker 1: been a quarterback won the last couple of years QB
Speaker 1: seven twenty twenty and QB twelve last year, but kind
Speaker 1: of flukey maybe because he's had seven touchdown runs each
Speaker 1: of the last two years. In the seven previous seasons
Speaker 1: as a starter, just ten touchdown runs, So I don't
Speaker 1: know if we can count on these touchdowns continuing to come.
Speaker 1: And he's kind of an interesting guy, Like you just
Speaker 1: can't run a full throttle passing attack with Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 1: It has to be the play action stuff like that's
Speaker 1: how he is most effective. If you have that lethal
Speaker 1: running game with Derick Henry and kind of take the
Speaker 1: heat off Tannehill, Like he can run that offense, but
Speaker 1: you know, kind of one dimensional in that regard, and
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they drafted his replacement maybe not like
Speaker 1: everyone thought Malik Willis, so it's going to be this
Speaker 1: top ten pick and he winds up falling into the
Speaker 1: third round. So you know, for the Titans, it was
Speaker 1: kind of a look what I found type of thing,
Speaker 1: or we can't you know, can't pass up this opportunity here.
Speaker 1: Tannehill is well into his thirties, so um, yeah, I can.
Speaker 1: I can see what Bos talking about where he's a
Speaker 1: crossroads guy and maybe more attractive to the team fantasy
Speaker 1: team trying to win now than um, you know, a
Speaker 1: guy who might have some sort of value even like
Speaker 1: two years down the road. I mean, we know there's
Speaker 1: a great QB class coming in next year and a
Speaker 1: lot of incumbent starters are probably going to be out
Speaker 1: of jobs next year. Maybe Tannehills and one of those guys,
Speaker 1: even though you know the replacement is in house and
Speaker 1: not necessarily someone who's going to be drafted in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, and there are teams that could be looking
Speaker 1: for a QB next year that just aren't in position
Speaker 1: to draft one, you know. I mean, Washington seems like
Speaker 1: a prime spot that could you know, be a landing
Speaker 1: spot for Ryan Tannahill because they're a team that will
Speaker 1: probably play, you know, not down to getting a top
Speaker 1: five pick with Carson Wentz, but they'll be in the middle.
Speaker 1: So maybe those qbs are gone, you know, you never know.
Speaker 1: And Malik Wills is like you know you said fits.
Speaker 1: He's a big old fat maybe right now in terms
Speaker 1: of what he can do. So he's really gonna have
Speaker 1: to prove it to the coaches that he can do it.
Speaker 1: It's an investment. It's an investment for these guys. But
Speaker 1: you know, you can also call we call we're calling
Speaker 1: a crossroads. You can call the sink or swim too,
Speaker 1: you know, because Ryan Tannehill's very much in that spot.
Speaker 1: This could be his last years starting if he doesn't
Speaker 1: look good. So I like the pull of Tannehill. Fits.
Speaker 1: You got a QB on that list, don't you. Who's
Speaker 1: your QB? Yeah, should we go to that? Let's go
Speaker 1: with Tuah And so he's got weapons galore now with
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle and Mike Kisicki and Cedric Wilson,
Speaker 1: And you know that kind of wasn't the case last year,
Speaker 1: like he had Waddle but then I cause he'd gets
Speaker 1: sicky too. But then like it was really kind of
Speaker 1: a poop poop platter at wide receiver of injuries too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries, and we just like, I don't
Speaker 1: think we have a handle on what he's going to
Speaker 1: be at the NFL level yet, Like is he good?
Speaker 1: Is he a game manager? Can he be a playmaker?
Speaker 1: Is he gonna run anymore than he has now? Has
Speaker 1: he been fully healthy? Like you know, how long was
Speaker 1: he maybe still feeling the lingering effects of the hip
Speaker 1: injury major injury that he had in college. So he's
Speaker 1: just one of those guys, like some of these guys
Speaker 1: on you know, your list and my list. Uh, Like
Speaker 1: I've got strong opinions on other guys, I just kind
Speaker 1: of throw my hands up in the air. And two
Speaker 1: is in the latter category. But we've seen to be
Speaker 1: successful obviously at the collegiate level when you surround him
Speaker 1: with starts. You know at Alabama, he's he had an
Speaker 1: amazing running game, awesome offensive line, amazing whiteouts. Obviously, they've
Speaker 1: all been drafted in the first round in the NFL
Speaker 1: and he had success. So you add in Tyreek, you
Speaker 1: know you can get a couple of these other weapons
Speaker 1: in here. Uh gisicky is good. They have a strong defense,
Speaker 1: like we saw the Vike Tings do this for years.
Speaker 1: They were a quarterback away, a quarterback away and could
Speaker 1: they could never get that QB. So what do you
Speaker 1: think about two? Are you investing? Are you I just
Speaker 1: don't know about him? Or do you have a bad
Speaker 1: feeling about Tah? I have a feeling. I have a
Speaker 1: stronger feeling about Mike McDaniel as a coach bringing out
Speaker 1: the best and a very talented player as Tah. We
Speaker 1: are not giving to enough credit for how talented of
Speaker 1: a passer he is. We're talking about one of the
Speaker 1: most accurate passers in the league bar none. And has
Speaker 1: he been expected to make big time throws like we
Speaker 1: see in other systems? Know, and that's been the main
Speaker 1: cause for concern is they haven't expected to it to
Speaker 1: make big time throws, make pushing the ball down the
Speaker 1: field a priority. They tried to do it a little
Speaker 1: bit last year, but then their whole receiving corps fell
Speaker 1: victim to a lot of injuries, and so that kind
Speaker 1: of went by the wayside. Their offensive line and running
Speaker 1: game was non existent last year, which took that let's
Speaker 1: push to a little harder set it back again. We're
Speaker 1: talking about what I considered to be a coach that's
Speaker 1: the next Sean McVay. Mike McDaniel is the unsung hero
Speaker 1: of that forty nine ers system. He's been with Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan all this time, from the Washington days over to
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Mike McDaniel is the real genius of that
Speaker 1: offensive system because he's the one formulating the schemes. Shanahan
Speaker 1: just puts it together at the end of the day
Speaker 1: and takes credit for it. I think the Dolphins' offense
Speaker 1: is going to be absolutely spectacular, especially with the weaponry
Speaker 1: that This is an offense that looked good with Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo a quarterback. And if we want to talk about
Speaker 1: the least accurate quarterbacks in the NFL, opposite of two,
Speaker 1: a complete antithesis of Tah tongue of Bloa, that's Jimmy Garoppolo,
Speaker 1: and they went to the Super Bowl. So I'm thinking
Speaker 1: with a great coach, unbeforeced seen weaponry, and a quarterback
Speaker 1: that's deadly accurate and can make every throw. Despite what
Speaker 1: people say, It's like, I think this Dolphins team could
Speaker 1: be really good. I think it could be really stink
Speaker 1: and good. At the same time, I'm gonna mitigate the
Speaker 1: expectations for fantasy success for two of because I don't
Speaker 1: think they they're gonna need him to be fantasy great
Speaker 1: for the team to win. Do you have a Dynasty
Speaker 1: rank on him? Because right now his R is seventeen
Speaker 1: in terms of Dynasty qbs, I have him in fifteen.
Speaker 1: I'm a little higher on him than the consensus. It's
Speaker 1: not a strong feeling. I just love the spot that
Speaker 1: he's in. So where where would you have two A
Speaker 1: ranked on your Dynasty QB rankings? I just moved him
Speaker 1: up a couple of weeks ago, fourteen fourteen, okay, so
Speaker 1: a spot QB two fifty. Where where do you have
Speaker 1: two among the qbs for dynasty? I think I've got
Speaker 1: him a QB fifteen fifteen, Okay, So we're all ahead
Speaker 1: of consensus. And you know, look, I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people talk in terms of his arm strength and
Speaker 1: a popgun arm and all that. There are plenty of
Speaker 1: successful quarterbacks in NFL history that don't have the strongest arm.
Speaker 1: The whole point is he can make the throw. He's made.
Speaker 1: He made the throws to rugs, he made the throws
Speaker 1: to waddle, He made the throws to all these guys.
Speaker 1: So you remember the first throw we ever saw him
Speaker 1: throw was on that main stage as a freshman in
Speaker 1: the National Championship, throwing to another freshman. We might have
Speaker 1: heard him the Slim Reaper. Yeah, that was the big
Speaker 1: time throw forty five yards down the rail on the
Speaker 1: absolute dot on a dot in the bucket to win
Speaker 1: the biggest game of his life at nineteen years old.
Speaker 1: So don't tell me he doesn't have arm strength. It
Speaker 1: doesn't go anyo. Both said it. I mean, he doesn't
Speaker 1: have that cannon. But you know, our guy Thorneistrom used
Speaker 1: to talk about when tool was coming out, how he
Speaker 1: had that bucket accuracy on deep balls, like a guy
Speaker 1: who could put it in a sand pail from forty
Speaker 1: five yards away. And TWA has that. Yeah, Ta definitely
Speaker 1: has that. Look my quarterback that I'm gonna bring up
Speaker 1: here for you know, for the crossroads is Derek Carr,
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr is a good quarterback. It's not so
Speaker 1: much that he's at the crossroad of his career. He's
Speaker 1: going to be the quarterback of the Raiders for a while.
Speaker 1: He's more at the crossroad of his fantasy His fantasy
Speaker 1: value is he can he jump up into that QB
Speaker 1: one status because right now his ECR is QB sixteen
Speaker 1: in Dynasty. I've got him at twenty one. I just
Speaker 1: don't know that he's going to jump in there. Look,
Speaker 1: he hasn't finished in terms of points per game from
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one to twenty nineteen or twenty fourteen when
Speaker 1: he came in the league. He's finished as a QB one.
Speaker 1: One time. He was eleventh in points per game in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, over twenty points per game. That was one
Speaker 1: of two seasons where he had over twenty points per
Speaker 1: game eighteenth. He ranked in twenty twenty at twenty point
Speaker 1: five one. Obviously just a bigger output among QB's that season.
Speaker 1: He had a little bit more everybody else did. But
Speaker 1: in terms of total points, he was a QB one
Speaker 1: last year three hundred and twenty four total points. He's
Speaker 1: finished there two other times. He was twelfth in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: He was tenth in total points in twenty fifteen. So
Speaker 1: he stays on the field at least. My whole thing
Speaker 1: with him is, you know, he has to take a
Speaker 1: step up into QB ones. Right. You add Davante Adams there,
Speaker 1: you have Hunter Renfro, you have Darren Waller, Josh Jacobs
Speaker 1: can catch the ball out of the backfield. You have
Speaker 1: a new offensive system with Josh McDaniels here. So this
Speaker 1: should be better for him. But we saw Derek Carr
Speaker 1: take a giant learning curve when Gruden came in, and
Speaker 1: Gruden almost grewd almost ruined card to me, like you
Speaker 1: could see it from that very first Monday night football
Speaker 1: game I believe they played. It was like one of
Speaker 1: the last games in San Diego or something if I'm
Speaker 1: remembering correctly, and um, I it might have been in
Speaker 1: Vegas now that I'm thinking about it, I think it
Speaker 1: was on the dirt track with the baseball field still, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, with the a's and everything, But it was
Speaker 1: he threw like three picks in that game. They're all
Speaker 1: on deep balls, and he quit throwing the deep ball,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't until like the last couple of seasons
Speaker 1: that he started to pick the deep ball back up.
Speaker 1: You gotta have that with Davante. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little lower on Car. You know, this
Speaker 1: division is gonna need shootouts. This division is gonna need points.
Speaker 1: Obviously with Kansas City and Mahomes, we know what they
Speaker 1: can do. Been in the AFC Championship for a thousand
Speaker 1: years in a row. The Broncos out of Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: You know, Justin Herbert is moving up and becoming one
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the league. So Car's gonna
Speaker 1: have to keep pace. They gave him Davante Adams. I
Speaker 1: just I don't know if Car has it in him.
Speaker 1: When when I think of the it, I do not
Speaker 1: think of Derek Carr. So, FITZI, what do you think
Speaker 1: of Car moving forward? Are you in er out on
Speaker 1: Derek Carr? You make an interesting point about the change
Speaker 1: without John Gruden, because I mean we saw cars yards
Speaker 1: per game really spike last year up to two hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty two point six. So I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: like the key for him is touchdown passes. He is
Speaker 1: not thrown thirty TV passes in a season since two
Speaker 1: thousand and fifteen, which was his second year in the league,
Speaker 1: and since then he's averaged twenty three point three a season.
Speaker 1: How much is Davante Adam's gonna lift that for him?
Speaker 1: Like he's gonna help, I think for sure. So I'm
Speaker 1: a little more willing to buy into Derek Carr. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: I do think he's going to be more entrenched as
Speaker 1: a starter than someone like Ryan Tannehill, and I think
Speaker 1: he's probably on firmer ground as a starter than two Ways.
Speaker 1: Being honest, I mean, like, yeah, with the big moves
Speaker 1: to uh like know, it's great that bows into two
Speaker 1: and I like the enthusiasm. As you know, I've got
Speaker 1: a closing title window with a super flex team where
Speaker 1: my quarterbacks are Murray and two. I like the bow
Speaker 1: things too. Is kind of have a good year. But um,
Speaker 1: if two doesn't have a good year, they're probably going
Speaker 1: to look to make their their move and get a
Speaker 1: new quarterback, Whereas I think Cars still got you know,
Speaker 1: at least a few more years as the Raiders starter
Speaker 1: before they start thinking about a plan. D Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean he's just looking at his contract next year, he
Speaker 1: is getting paid thirty four million bucks. He's getting paid
Speaker 1: forty three for the next two years after that. He's
Speaker 1: not a ufan till twenty twenty six at this point,
Speaker 1: so he's their quarterback. They've invested in him moving forward here,
Speaker 1: bows So I just don't know that I see it
Speaker 1: when it comes from you know, Derek Carr. Whatever that is.
Speaker 1: Davante Adams could be it though. I mean, you know
Speaker 1: you added Davante Adams. It's kind of the same spot
Speaker 1: that we're talking about with too, Like you know, you
Speaker 1: give two of the weapons. You've seen him as succeed.
Speaker 1: We haven't really seen Derek Carr succeed because he hasn't
Speaker 1: had the weapons. They've tried, you know, they've invested in
Speaker 1: high picks. The high picks haven't worked out obviously, Henry
Speaker 1: Ruggs with the off field stuff and in jail now.
Speaker 1: But you know, what do you think about car moving
Speaker 1: forward here? Are you in on him or out? I'm
Speaker 1: right in the middle because the ECR says QB sixteen,
Speaker 1: that's right where I have him, And that's actually I
Speaker 1: think that's a really fair assessment for Derek Carr, because no,
Speaker 1: I don't see him usurping any of the guys ahead
Speaker 1: of him in that QB one ranking. Like I'm looking
Speaker 1: at my top twelve going, all of these guys are
Speaker 1: markedly better at everything than Derek Carr is. And so
Speaker 1: even if Derek carr has a ceiling type season like
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen where he was pushing for an MVP vote,
Speaker 1: He's still not going to score more Fantasy points than
Speaker 1: any of these guys in the top twelve unless he
Speaker 1: just starts throwing touchdown passes for the first time ever.
Speaker 1: And I think Davante Adams is gonna drastically improve cars
Speaker 1: completion percentage because it really always helps to get a
Speaker 1: guy who's the best route runner in the NFL, probably
Speaker 1: one of the best receivers we've seen in the last
Speaker 1: twenty years. It always helps. But I mean, unless they've
Speaker 1: plan on force feeding Adams the same way the Packers did,
Speaker 1: I don't see how it really makes CARS numbers go
Speaker 1: up significantly enough for me to upgrade him in my rankings.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the it factor. He's not that, he's
Speaker 1: not that gun slinger quarterback that's gonna put the whole
Speaker 1: team on his back. He never has been, he never
Speaker 1: will be. It's just gonna be. He's a nice quarterback
Speaker 1: with a great skill set, good temperament, has got a
Speaker 1: stable job. But other than that, he's not special. He's
Speaker 1: He's just a good, solid NFL quarterback that I'm gonna
Speaker 1: love to have as my QB two and a dynasty team.
Speaker 1: But if I'm ever expecting him to be a QB one,
Speaker 1: it's just never gonna pan out next three seasons. Bo
Speaker 1: looking at a three year window. You want car you
Speaker 1: want Cousins. I like Cousins because he's got one of them.
Speaker 1: He's got a good receiver that's a lot younger and
Speaker 1: has more big play potential than Davanta Adams. I love
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams, but Justin Jefferson. I don't expect the Vikings
Speaker 1: to be able to let go of Kirk Cousins with
Speaker 1: how much money they owe him, so they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to hold on to him. And having Justin Jefferson there
Speaker 1: at twenty three years old and twenty four years old
Speaker 1: and twenty five years old instead of Davante entering his thirties,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at I'm looking at a lot more of
Speaker 1: an upside play there with Cousins, even though I think
Speaker 1: Car is a better quarterback. Fits he Car or Cousins
Speaker 1: moving forward, because the touchdowns that you mentioned just looking
Speaker 1: at Derek are excuse me, Kirk Cousins numbers. He has
Speaker 1: had thirty twenty six, thirty five, thirty three touchdowns in
Speaker 1: the last four seasons, so he's scoring touchdowns. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: know this is tough because you know, you know me, Bogs,
Speaker 1: I will not pass up an opportunity to despair it
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and I can't hear like I mean, I test,
Speaker 1: I test. There's no question that Carr is the better
Speaker 1: quarterback in my mind. But for fantasy, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, those touchdown totals are very telling, and now
Speaker 1: we might even see that was climb higher with this
Speaker 1: different offense. You know, we know that Mike Zimmer always
Speaker 1: had this sort of say in wanting the offense to
Speaker 1: be more conservative and run based, and we're not going
Speaker 1: to see that with Kevin O'Connor going to see a
Speaker 1: lot of three wide receiver sets on the field. We're
Speaker 1: going to see them push the tempo probably a little bit.
Speaker 1: So yeah, this one's tough. I might for fantasy, I
Speaker 1: might have to pick Cousins. Yeah, I have Cousins one
Speaker 1: spot ahead, which is why I asked. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not I don't have a ton of confidence in him,
Speaker 1: but in terms of scoring, I just I have more
Speaker 1: confidence in cuts and scoring touchdowns. So I'm gonna roll
Speaker 1: with Cousins. So we're gonna get Bows number two player.
Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you about Reality Sports Online before
Speaker 1: we do that. By now, most of you probably heard

Speaker 1: fantasy just got real at Reality Sports online dot com. Bo,
Speaker 1: who's the second player you have on the crossroad list here?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to wide receiver here, and let's talk
Speaker 1: about Jerry Judy because he's been a kind of a
Speaker 1: hot topic last couple of days. The ongoing battle is
Speaker 1: now with Russell Wilson in Denver who's going to be
Speaker 1: the breakout receiver for that offense? And they got a
Speaker 1: lot of choices. You can go as deep as kJ
Speaker 1: Hamler and all these other guys. But like for me,
Speaker 1: it's like people have amnesia when it comes to great
Speaker 1: players who come into the draft, maybe have a couple
Speaker 1: bad things happen to them, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: people forget just how great they still are as a
Speaker 1: football player. I feel that way about Jerry Judy. I
Speaker 1: am well ahead of consensus on Jerry Judy where I
Speaker 1: think that he's going to be as big of a
Speaker 1: breakout candidate as anybody in the league this year. Because
Speaker 1: I believe that he is kind of a clone of
Speaker 1: Davante Adams in that offense. I just don't see any
Speaker 1: reason why you can't have a guy who gets that
Speaker 1: much separation with a quarterback as accurate as Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: in an offense run by the same guy who put
Speaker 1: Davante Adams on MAP. I just I'm looked, I'm connecting
Speaker 1: all the dots. I'm looking at Judy's talent, and I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the type of player he is, and I'm
Speaker 1: just thinking, the sky's the limit for this guy. And
Speaker 1: a lot of people are down on him because I mean,
Speaker 1: he didn't really didn't exactly light the world on fire
Speaker 1: after hurting his ankle last year. I like you said,
Speaker 1: a couple bad things have happened to Jerry Judy, and
Speaker 1: it's the injury. The biggest thing, though, to me, was
Speaker 1: Drew Locke was a bad thing that happened to him.
Speaker 1: You know, Drew Locke is not a good QB at all.
Speaker 1: I'm a little lower than ecr Is cr Is twenty
Speaker 1: four fits. I got him at twenty nine. I just
Speaker 1: you know, I like Courtland Sutton a lot. They got
Speaker 1: Alberto and Javonte Williams is a big list here. I'm
Speaker 1: probably just a little low on him. There's a couple
Speaker 1: other guys one that I'm going to talk about that
Speaker 1: I like a little bit more. But tell me what
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Jerry Judy are moving forward in the
Speaker 1: Dynasty League. I'm generally bullish, and maybe my ranking doesn't
Speaker 1: reflect that I've got him like wide receiver. But you know,
Speaker 1: I just happened to like some of the guys in
Speaker 1: that vicinity. So like, right now, it feels like the
Speaker 1: momentum as far as the mood and the fantasy community,
Speaker 1: has swung towards Courtland Sutton. But I think people, as
Speaker 1: bou mentioned, have short memories, and forget that Sutton looked
Speaker 1: like this alpha receiver while Judy was on the shelf
Speaker 1: with that high ankle sprain early last year, and as
Speaker 1: soon as Judy came back, Sutton's target share absolutely evaporated.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't because Judy was necessarily like rocking out.
Speaker 1: It was just like Sutton, you know, no longer was
Speaker 1: this featured part of the offense. Tim Patrick a lot. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but so we we did not really fully get to
Speaker 1: see the qualities that make Judy potentially special last year.
Speaker 1: But you know, you ask how a guy can win
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and I think Judy has like two
Speaker 1: ways where he can be extraordinary, One as a route
Speaker 1: runner and two after the cash like he showed just
Speaker 1: you know, special traits in both of those areas when
Speaker 1: he was at Alabama, and I think we are probably
Speaker 1: going to see more of that. I mean, just getting
Speaker 1: like I thought that was a torn acl and he
Speaker 1: got that injury in Week one, and I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people did. The first glimpse of that was
Speaker 1: so ugly, and I think we were kind of relieved
Speaker 1: it was a high ankle sprain, but I'm guessing that
Speaker 1: was probably about the worst high ankle sprain you could
Speaker 1: possibly have. And those are sometimes worse because you don't
Speaker 1: go into the jury, you don't get to rest and recover.
Speaker 1: You kind of play on it, you know, they shoot
Speaker 1: you up so easy to come from that. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think you know, IOK is another guy that
Speaker 1: had an injury before the season started, looked like garbage
Speaker 1: and then started to look good at the back end too.
Speaker 1: You just never know what kind of nagging injury these
Speaker 1: guys are playing for through and it seems like Judy
Speaker 1: was definitely one of those guys. Yeah, but Sutton, Man,
Speaker 1: I gotta address Sutton because everybody's all over Courtland Sutton
Speaker 1: this year and I just don't get it. Like, like
Speaker 1: Fitz said, as soon as Judy came back, we start
Speaker 1: a week nine through eighteen. Last year, Sutton went down
Speaker 1: to four point five nine Fantasy points per game in
Speaker 1: that stretch, only getting four point two targets per game. Now,
Speaker 1: tell me, if you're talking about a professional receiver with
Speaker 1: wide receiver one upside, don't you think that he would
Speaker 1: earn more than four point two targets per game? Even
Speaker 1: if his quarterback is Drew Locke. He's not getting open.
Speaker 1: He's just a high point receiver. He's a hard working
Speaker 1: version of Kenny Galladay. That's all I see in Courtland Sutton.
Speaker 1: He's just the same kind of big, tall, jump high
Speaker 1: receiver who you throw jump balls too. And you're gonna
Speaker 1: have huge swings of momentum where he'll have a big
Speaker 1: game every once in a while, but you're gonna have
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen weeks out of the season where he does
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing, and you're gonna expect that out of Judy. No,
Speaker 1: Judy's gonna put up what eight point eight Fantasy points
Speaker 1: per game and through in weeks nine through eighteen, even
Speaker 1: with an atrocious quarterback play and an offensive scheme from
Speaker 1: the Stone Age, He's still put up an okay amount
Speaker 1: of points and five point four targets a game. So
Speaker 1: I'm looking at an accurate quarterback with a lot of brains,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson throwing two guys who are open, and I
Speaker 1: think that's Judy instead of Sutton. I'm higher on Judy
Speaker 1: than I am on Sutton, but I'm going to defend
Speaker 1: Judy here or Sutton here for a second and just say, look,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a guy that he's not gonna He's
Speaker 1: never gonna rack you up, you know, eight catches in
Speaker 1: a game. He's gonna make your big plays. You know.
Speaker 1: He's a big play guy, which makes him perfect as
Speaker 1: a wide receiver three. I do think people are drafting
Speaker 1: him as a wide receiver two, which is just not
Speaker 1: where you want him, you know. And I don't want
Speaker 1: either one of these guys as a wide receiver two
Speaker 1: right now. I want them both as wide receiver threes.
Speaker 1: But I do have Judy a little bit higher than Sutton.
Speaker 1: I just think we've seen Suthing do it before. He
Speaker 1: has been a proven commodity in the league. Judy, we
Speaker 1: just haven't seen breakout yet. So I think that's why
Speaker 1: you get Russell Wilson with the guy that's done it before,
Speaker 1: and you see a lot of people jumping on that bandwagon.
Speaker 1: But there's no reason both these guys can't be successful.
Speaker 1: Locke In Metcalfman at work in Seattle. So why can't
Speaker 1: we have Judy and Sutton in Denver? So because there
Speaker 1: are a lot of other there are a lot of
Speaker 1: other guys too, And you know, we got Tim Patrick,
Speaker 1: we got kJ Hamler, we got Albert Oh that like
Speaker 1: that's the issue for me. So like, yeah, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: both of these guys are a little bit overvalued right now.
Speaker 1: It's it's entirely possible. I mean, for a redraft, I
Speaker 1: think they are probably both or valued. But I do
Speaker 1: think Judy is the guy. Maybe I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: more excited about long term. Yeah, me too, And I
Speaker 1: have Judy rank higher. I do like them both, but
Speaker 1: I'm also lower than both on consensus, So we'll see
Speaker 1: how it turns out. Fitzy, who's your number two? Guy here. Well,
Speaker 1: let's go to the guy Bo just mentioned, and maybe
Speaker 1: I know what Bow was going to say about him
Speaker 1: as labeling him a jump high receiver with Kenny Galladay.
Speaker 1: And I just you know, I was thinking about this
Speaker 1: the other day when I was actually doing my Redraft
Speaker 1: rankings and I was looking at how I had Alan
Speaker 1: Lazar and Kenny Galladay both in the same vicinity, and
Speaker 1: I actually had Lazarre ranked higher, and I said, wait
Speaker 1: a second, Like these guys just have different stations in life.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe Lazard could be the top wide receiver
Speaker 1: target for the Packers this year just out of necessity.
Speaker 1: But I mean, this is a guy who's best attribute,
Speaker 1: probably as an NFL wide receiver right now, is this blocking.
Speaker 1: Like I mean, he's been an exceptional blocker, but like
Speaker 1: he is not a go to guy. I mean he's
Speaker 1: he's kind of been like I feel like a wide
Speaker 1: receiver three or four thrust into a wide receiver two
Speaker 1: spots during the Davante Adams era and now you know,
Speaker 1: thrust into a number one receiver role that that just
Speaker 1: doesn't seem right, But that is a role we have
Speaker 1: seen Kenny Gallada play. I mean Kenny Galladay. Twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: he was a wide receiver twenty one in half point PPR.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what he was in full, but over
Speaker 1: a thousand yards. And then he was a wide receiver
Speaker 1: one in twenty nineteen eleven hundred and ninety yards, eleven
Speaker 1: tds and five of those starts at quarterback were made
Speaker 1: by David Blow who was just completely awful. And you know,
Speaker 1: Galladay was putting up wide receiver one numbers with David Blau.
Speaker 1: So yeah, like he does have a limited number of
Speaker 1: ways that he can win. Bow mentioned it. He's like
Speaker 1: a contested catch specialist. Um, you know, I just like
Speaker 1: mate because he can't get separation, right. Yeah, And so
Speaker 1: we're done. Like we're not talking about a Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: or Justin Jefferson there, but I think we are talking
Speaker 1: about a guy who maybe there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: hope for in a Brian Dable offense, um, you know,
Speaker 1: and a guy who's battled injuries the last two years,
Speaker 1: so maybe we have not seen him at his finest. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, Kenny Galladay is a better receiver than Alan Lazard.
Speaker 1: And I realized that and bumped Galladay pretty well. I
Speaker 1: had a lazard in my Redraft rankings for for Dynasty.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Galladay is like at the point
Speaker 1: where he's a throwing on trades, and maybe he's worth
Speaker 1: a little more than that because he's still I mean,
Speaker 1: he's like in the prime of his career. He's not
Speaker 1: an old receiver. Yeah, you're right about that for sure,
Speaker 1: because his ECR right now in Dynasty is sixty two.
Speaker 1: I don't have a much higher than that. Bo I've
Speaker 1: got him at fifty nine, and a lot of it
Speaker 1: was just based on effort that I saw from him
Speaker 1: last year. He got frustrated with the offense. He took
Speaker 1: plays off, he looked lazy, he wasn't blocking. I hate
Speaker 1: seeing that stuff. And I was hyped up on Galliday
Speaker 1: coming out of ANIU. You know, I always referenced this game.
Speaker 1: I saw Wyoming versus NIU game up at Elevation in
Speaker 1: Wyoming and Josh Allen and Kenny Golliday were the last
Speaker 1: two guys that had it rolling in overtime. What are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Galliday moving forward here? I mean, I
Speaker 1: saw the same thing you saw last year, where I
Speaker 1: think the only injury he had was a vision problem
Speaker 1: where he just didn't see himself playing for the money
Speaker 1: that he's earning. And that was it. It was obvious,
Speaker 1: like you could see it on the broadcast. He didn't
Speaker 1: need to pop all twenty two in to see Kenny
Speaker 1: Golladay walking through routes, not putting both feet on the
Speaker 1: sideline to catch a sideline pass. Daniel Jones be damned,
Speaker 1: he played like crap like Kenny Golladay walked through last
Speaker 1: season on a humongous contract, and even though it's a
Speaker 1: horrible Dave Gettleman special, you're still paid to play football.
Speaker 1: And he didn't do it last year, and he didn't
Speaker 1: do it as last year in Detroit either, where he
Speaker 1: had this minor hip injury stretch out for a nearly
Speaker 1: an entire season to get his new contract, got his
Speaker 1: new contract, and still didn't go to work like you
Speaker 1: wanted him to. So, yes, he's at the prime age
Speaker 1: for his career, but I think the dude's got a
Speaker 1: serious motivation problem because if he's injured or or run
Speaker 1: or in the starting lineup, he's getting paid, he's getting
Speaker 1: game checks, and there's no incentive for him to actually
Speaker 1: play well if all that money's still guaranteed and I really,
Speaker 1: really am concerned that investing anything into a guy that
Speaker 1: we haven't seen play football in two years is extremely
Speaker 1: dangerous and no matter how talented he is, because we've
Speaker 1: seen him just light up the scoreboard, and in two
Speaker 1: years we have seen him do less than ever before,
Speaker 1: I'm deathly afraid to roster him. I believe I have
Speaker 1: him down at wide receiver. Oh god, it's like seventy
Speaker 1: nine something like that. It's a year all the way out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want him on my team because I don't
Speaker 1: want to be tempted to start him in a flex
Speaker 1: one week where he has a great matchup and just
Speaker 1: and watch the game and go back and watch the film.
Speaker 1: Just be ticked off that I fell forward again. I
Speaker 1: can't speak to twenty twenty Kenny Galladay, but for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one Kenney Galladay, who's not going to be frustrated
Speaker 1: playing in an offense designed by Jason Garrett and Freddie Hitchens.
Speaker 1: You know, look, that is very true, But there are
Speaker 1: plenty of guys that would not give up on plays.
Speaker 1: And Kenny Galladay, you ain't Randy moss Son, like you're
Speaker 1: not him. So I don't know. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're doing. Take him plays off and stuff. It's frustrating
Speaker 1: to watch him. I'll give you a wide receiver here. Boys.
Speaker 1: I know everyone knows who I'm gonna say here, so
Speaker 1: this is not a surprise to anyone. But it's Juju.
Speaker 1: It's Juju Smith Schuster. It's because I've seen him do it.
Speaker 1: I believe in him. He's had garbage QB play from
Speaker 1: the corps of Ben Roethlisberger to Mason Rudolph and Duck
Speaker 1: Hodges the last couple of years. Everyone wants to talk about, well,
Speaker 1: he was only successful with Antonio Brown next to him
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Okay, do you think Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: being next to him in Kansas City is gonna be
Speaker 1: all right? He's on a one year prove it deal
Speaker 1: to make his money. And let's not forget everyone talks about.
Speaker 1: You know, hey, Kansas City, they got to replace Tyree
Speaker 1: and they do. They also need to replace Byron Pringle.
Speaker 1: They also need to replace DeMarcus Robinson. Three wide receivers
Speaker 1: are gone and they're added three so you can drop
Speaker 1: them in. Now. Do I think he's gonna get come
Speaker 1: in and get Tyreek production? Absolutely not. That's absurd, But
Speaker 1: they have lost fifty one percent of their routes, run
Speaker 1: fifty percent of their receptions, targets yards, fifty two percent
Speaker 1: of their touchdowns, and the big thing here, fifty two
Speaker 1: percent of their slot snaps. And I know everyone projects
Speaker 1: sky More to play the slot role because he's a
Speaker 1: smaller guy. He played thirty seven percent of his snaps
Speaker 1: in college at the slot, so he's more of a
Speaker 1: wide out than he is an inline guy. And you
Speaker 1: know Juju is gonna play in that slot for them,
Speaker 1: especially with sky Moore being an experience coming from you know,
Speaker 1: the MAC to the NFL is a gigantic jump. So
Speaker 1: you know, I love sky Moore. I think he's going
Speaker 1: to be a stud and I love drafting him. Is
Speaker 1: he going to be a stud immediately right away and
Speaker 1: jump in? I don't know. Micole Hardman also they he's
Speaker 1: been a project and this project has worked for them.
Speaker 1: He was really good in the playoffs and they seem
Speaker 1: to like him. Now. I know we've had people on
Speaker 1: this show come in and say, well, they signed MVS,
Speaker 1: they signed Juju, and they drafted sky More, so maybe
Speaker 1: they don't like Mcole Hardman. Well, they had to replace
Speaker 1: the spots that I just mentioned. So you have to
Speaker 1: get bodies in there. Why not get some good bodies?
Speaker 1: And they did. You know, MVS in this mix with
Speaker 1: sky Moore and Juju. So you know, Juju hasn't been
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one since twenty eighteen, but he was
Speaker 1: a wide receiver two in total and points per game,
Speaker 1: sixteen in points per game, and twenty third in total
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. He came off the injury last year.
Speaker 1: They're replacing three hundred targets in this offense. You know,
Speaker 1: MBS isn't a slack either. Thirty three point two percent
Speaker 1: of his professional routes have been in the slot. So
Speaker 1: I think Juju comes in here in whatever excuse you
Speaker 1: want to say. You can say bad quarterback play, all right.
Speaker 1: He's got Mahomes. Well, he was only good when he
Speaker 1: played next to Abe. He's got Kelsey. He's betting on himself.
Speaker 1: I know sky Moore is a big challenge to him,
Speaker 1: but Juju is a professional and for Dinasy leagues, he's
Speaker 1: still super young. He's younger than Terry McLaurin. People don't
Speaker 1: realize this, you know, he's uh, you know, not younger
Speaker 1: now than the guy's coming in, but he's right behind him.
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm still invested in Juju right Why
Speaker 1: now his ecr's forty one. I've got him at twenty six.
Speaker 1: So Fits, we'll start with you here. I've I've talked
Speaker 1: Juju up so much. I'm gonna look like an absolute
Speaker 1: fool if he doesn't perform this year. And that's fine,
Speaker 1: but more more talk about Juju Fits, Let's hear it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I tend to be with you, Bogs. I have got
Speaker 1: him at so man, where is he here? Thirty six?
Speaker 1: So maybe I'm not quite as enthusiastic, but I'm still
Speaker 1: fairly enthusiastic. I don't think he's the guy who had
Speaker 1: a fourteen hundred yards season at age twenty two and
Speaker 1: his second year in the league. That's not true, Juju,
Speaker 1: But he's also not the guy we saw battle injuries
Speaker 1: the last three years and also battle the decay of
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. So, um, what I like about this situation now, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: Juju is a limited rout tree, and you know it's
Speaker 1: not going to be Juju taking the top off the defense.
Speaker 1: He's a short area to intermediate guy. But we saw
Speaker 1: defenses throw two high safety looks at the Chiefs repeatedly
Speaker 1: last year, and if they do that again, like that
Speaker 1: is just so going to play into Juju's hands this year.
Speaker 1: And I think he could have like, you know, an
Speaker 1: eighty five ninety catch season. Why would they? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean if Skymore McCole Hartman on that, you know,
Speaker 1: start start speeding up on that outside, I know, I
Speaker 1: know MBS, So I mean MBS can take the top
Speaker 1: off the defense. So right when you don't have Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: the question is like, are they going to throw those
Speaker 1: same looks at Mahomes? But I mean Mahomes is a
Speaker 1: special Like it's not the receivers necessarily just giving Kansas
Speaker 1: City that equal D passing game. It's yeah, quarterback too,
Speaker 1: and and it's really it's mahomes movement. You know, he's
Speaker 1: not he's not a rusher, he's not gonna run for
Speaker 1: thousand yards. Yeah, he buy time exactly. I mean Roethlisberger
Speaker 1: used to do that, not by his movement, but by
Speaker 1: just no one could pull him down, you know that
Speaker 1: that was his way. Um, Mahomes does it by avoiding
Speaker 1: tacklers back there. So, uh, what do you think of Jujuboa.
Speaker 1: Are you uh, twenty six is where I have him? At?
Speaker 1: Forty one is his easy? Are you gotta have higher
Speaker 1: than forty one? Right? I do not. I'm on the
Speaker 1: complete opposite end of the spectrum as you two guys.
Speaker 1: I have him at fifty one, which is one of
Speaker 1: the lowest in the fp ecrum, and I have plenty
Speaker 1: of reason for it. Um. There's there's a limitation involved
Speaker 1: with Juju Smith Schuster's game that I don't think is
Speaker 1: compatible with this offense. He's a slot only guy. He's
Speaker 1: a zone coverage only guy. And this is a This
Speaker 1: is an offense that is gonna see a lot of
Speaker 1: man looks because they don't have a lot of really
Speaker 1: extreme talent at the receiver position anymore. So you're gonna
Speaker 1: have a lot more man tougher shell zones like shallower
Speaker 1: zones to challenge my homes to beat them deep without Tyreek.
Speaker 1: I don't think that if you have a guy that's
Speaker 1: going to be a slot only guy, and the real
Speaker 1: slot receiver of this offense is Travis Kelsey, make no
Speaker 1: mistake about it. And the only deef the only way
Speaker 1: to get Juju to go off is to go complete
Speaker 1: saw and have him be the benefactor of being the
Speaker 1: outlet receiver for a guy who can't throw it downfield.
Speaker 1: That's why Juju had good numbers the last couple of
Speaker 1: years is because Ben Roethlisberger literally turned around. If Deonte
Speaker 1: Johnson wasn't open immediately, he'd shoveled it down five yards
Speaker 1: ahead of him to Juju Smith Schuster A thousand times.
Speaker 1: We're talking about a guy who average eight or nine
Speaker 1: yards a catch, scored touchdowns because nobody covered him. And
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't see it anymore. He doesn't run
Speaker 1: good routes, he does not get open against man coverage.
Speaker 1: One of the worst man covered beaters in the league
Speaker 1: according to reception perception. So all you do is put
Speaker 1: man coverage out there against Juju and he is eliminated.
Speaker 1: So I just don't see it. I don't see him
Speaker 1: getting open. I don't see him doing anything other than
Speaker 1: posting up in the slot and get getting the same
Speaker 1: five yard dump offs with no run after the catch
Speaker 1: that he did in Pittsburgh, because that's his game. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't think he has a skill set to transcend
Speaker 1: into the wide receiver three territory where everybody seems to
Speaker 1: have him, and I just don't think the volume is
Speaker 1: there in this offense without all those mounds to feed.
Speaker 1: As as unspectacular as they may be, Travis Kelsey is
Speaker 1: going to earn all those targets. Skymore is better at
Speaker 1: getting open, and he's going to earn more targets. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have a bet. We're gonna have a bet. I
Speaker 1: was thinking, as you said, almost a wide receiver too
Speaker 1: for Dynasty. I was like, We're I have to bet
Speaker 1: this because I don't even think he cracks the top
Speaker 1: thirty six in the next three years. And so definitely, well,
Speaker 1: so we're we're, we're we'll be betting something. We'll we'll
Speaker 1: let you guys know what that is after the show,
Speaker 1: of course. But your third guy, bo who we got,
Speaker 1: So Miles Sanders. It's the Philly Eagles here. Do they
Speaker 1: just hate Miles Sanders because if you look at his
Speaker 1: numbers on a per touch basis, on a per game basis,
Speaker 1: when he gets enough touches, pretty damn good top ten
Speaker 1: type numbers inefficiency, But he didn't score any touchdowns last year.
Speaker 1: Out of the twenty five that they scored as a team,
Speaker 1: none of them went to Miles Sanders. He's a top
Speaker 1: pick out of Penn State. Maybe he got a little
Speaker 1: coat tail treatment from sae Quon Barkley there. But do
Speaker 1: the Eagles just hate him? Because I'm looking at Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders as a pretty decent running back who put up
Speaker 1: good numbers, and I'm wondering do I invest in a
Speaker 1: guy who's still young, doesn't have that many miles on
Speaker 1: his timebody, has an injury history on top of it,
Speaker 1: doesn't really show up on third downs. I'm at a
Speaker 1: crossroads myself with Miles Sanders because I like him as
Speaker 1: a player, but I don't love him enough to maybe
Speaker 1: just wait a little bit longer and go with Kenny
Speaker 1: Gainwell instead. Yeah. I mean, look, Miles Standers, it's hard
Speaker 1: to know, right. They just use so many backs and
Speaker 1: the number one rusher on this team is Jalen so
Speaker 1: you know he's in. And I don't mean that in
Speaker 1: terms of yards and carries. I mean that in terms
Speaker 1: of options, like he's the first guy you want to
Speaker 1: run is Jalen Hurts, which you know in a lot
Speaker 1: of that is because he doesn't pass very well, which
Speaker 1: we all say, you know, we all understand what Miles
Speaker 1: what Jalen hurts is he's a much better fantasy player
Speaker 1: than professional player. We're all kind of worried that he's
Speaker 1: gonna get replaced at the position more than you know.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be good if he's starting. Miles Standers
Speaker 1: is a hard one to read here, Fitzy, I've got
Speaker 1: him in the thirties. He's twenty seven on ECR. I'm
Speaker 1: with bo. I don't know that there are you know,
Speaker 1: I've got him at thirty four. I don't know that
Speaker 1: there's thirty three guys that are a better running back
Speaker 1: than him. But the Eagles don't really like him. It
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter what I feel. I think Kenny Gainwell
Speaker 1: is great behind him. They can't quit Boston Scott. He's
Speaker 1: been there forever, and Jalen's your number one option. Plus
Speaker 1: you add an AJ Brown to this offense, which just
Speaker 1: you know is another number one option on this team.
Speaker 1: So it's tough for me to get excited about Miles Sanders.
Speaker 1: What do you think about him, Fitzy. I'm pro Miles Sanders,
Speaker 1: and like I do, think they like him. He had
Speaker 1: a period where he was hurt last year. I can't
Speaker 1: remember the injury exactly. But when he came back in
Speaker 1: the first four games back, he had sixty seven carries,
Speaker 1: Like he went right back to being their number one guy.
Speaker 1: It is both said. I mean, we've seen per touch
Speaker 1: efficiency yards per carry is kind of a trash stat,
Speaker 1: but you know, five point three for him in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five point five last year, and I think he
Speaker 1: benefits from all the RPO stuff that the Eagles do.
Speaker 1: I mean, like that helps running backs and makes those
Speaker 1: holes a little bigger and freezes those linebackers a little
Speaker 1: bit longer. So the only thing is, like there was
Speaker 1: real hope. I think his rookie year where he averaged
Speaker 1: thirty one point eight receiving yards a game and three
Speaker 1: point one catches a game, that he was going to
Speaker 1: be this contributor in the passing game. But then those
Speaker 1: numbers are really tailed off under seventeen receiving yards a
Speaker 1: game in the last two years, and we're probably just
Speaker 1: not going to see a lot of dump offs with
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. I mean, the running quarterbacks get in trouble,
Speaker 1: they run, they don't dump off. You know, Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and Ben Roethlisberger, those guys dump off. Running guys just
Speaker 1: boogie out of trouble. So that's the one issue that
Speaker 1: I don't think. You know, we're going to see Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders receiving potential come to fruition this year, maybe down
Speaker 1: the road if he lands somewhere else paired with a
Speaker 1: different quarterback. But as far as a runner, I'm still
Speaker 1: really optimistic. And of course after no touchdowns last year,
Speaker 1: I mean he's going to get the dead cat bones there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he should love God give him some touchdowns. It just
Speaker 1: needs some love. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree with you
Speaker 1: there because I do think that his receiving days in
Speaker 1: Philly are over. Kenny Gainwell was drafted to be that guy.
Speaker 1: He was drafted to be that that not nihem Hinz
Speaker 1: slash Austin Eckler type back who can actually run route.
Speaker 1: Sanders is kind of like Travis Etn where he can
Speaker 1: catch the ball and he can catch a screen pass
Speaker 1: and a swing pass and do great things after the catch,
Speaker 1: but he's not a route runner as a running back.
Speaker 1: He's not a Christian McCaffrey the negative eight hundred routes
Speaker 1: a season and a half the season. He's not going
Speaker 1: to be getting open on Texas routes He's not going
Speaker 1: to be running option routes. He's just a guy who
Speaker 1: has good hands and he's explosive after the catch, So
Speaker 1: give me, give me the gainwell bump. I'm gonna mention
Speaker 1: him again because as a receiving back who also scores
Speaker 1: touchdowns and has explosive playmaking that a true receiving back
Speaker 1: that runs a lot is something that Miles Sanders is
Speaker 1: never going to be. And so his ceiling as a
Speaker 1: PPR back is extremely capped. I have him at thirty one,
Speaker 1: just like Scott doesn't. So number three here, Fitzee, who
Speaker 1: you got for a running back? Here? Say Quon Barkley,
Speaker 1: And it's just the crossroads is a little different for him.
Speaker 1: It's the crossroads of whether he's still truly a superstar
Speaker 1: maybe just like has this near term future as a
Speaker 1: running back to type, and like my main question about
Speaker 1: him is the athleticism, Like does he still have the
Speaker 1: special traits like he came out of school one hundredth
Speaker 1: percentile speed score, one hundredth percentile spark X score, ninety
Speaker 1: seventh percentile burst score, and a special receiver like you know,
Speaker 1: one of those rare Christian McCaw free Marshal Falk types
Speaker 1: who can be a true difference maker as a pass catcher,
Speaker 1: you know, and the vast majority of Dynasty leagues are
Speaker 1: full PPR. That really matters. I mean, it's a needle mover.
Speaker 1: In fantasy, we're getting these reports that Brian Dable is
Speaker 1: moving him all around the formation, which maybe sets up
Speaker 1: for a seventy eighty catch year. Again, that would be fantastic.
Speaker 1: He's in his contract year, so they have no incentive
Speaker 1: to pull back the reins on him. But it's just
Speaker 1: a matter of like whether he is that extraordinary athlete anymore.
Speaker 1: And I just don't know, Like people are trying to
Speaker 1: talk me into him on Fantasy Twitter, like I want
Speaker 1: to move that way. And then every time Bogs, I
Speaker 1: keep thinking what you've talked about, where you know, we
Speaker 1: would see a Giant's running back break into the open
Speaker 1: field last year and think like it's Devanta Booker. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's tough to stomach the fact that that sa Quan
Speaker 1: looks so bad last year, and I think a lot
Speaker 1: of it is pressure that he's put on himself. Is
Speaker 1: he's come back too early from these injuries, hopefully with
Speaker 1: another full off season to rest and he I don't.
Speaker 1: He wasn't rehabbing anything this offseason, thank god, So hopefully
Speaker 1: with that it's going to get him back up to
Speaker 1: that peak athleticism and have a just you know, like
Speaker 1: like you mentioned before, fits a better offense to run through.
Speaker 1: I have gushed about, say Quon Barkley, because he's the
Speaker 1: best running back I've ever profiled coming out of the draft.
Speaker 1: You know, he's unbelievably talented, he's unbelievably athletic, just so
Speaker 1: good at the position. But it's hard to argue with
Speaker 1: the injuries and underperforming here. So I have him at seven.
Speaker 1: His ECR Fantasy pros ECR right now is twelve. Bo,
Speaker 1: are you still got him in that RB one or
Speaker 1: are you not liking what you've seen in the last
Speaker 1: couple of years plus the injuries, and have him a
Speaker 1: little bit lower. So for me, it comes down to
Speaker 1: he's twenty five now, so I'm already giving him him
Speaker 1: a little drop down for dynasty purposes at fifteen, but
Speaker 1: I have him hire in redraft. I have him at
Speaker 1: RB nine and redraft because I think that he's going
Speaker 1: to have a torrential breakout this year. Most of what
Speaker 1: I saw that was quote unquote bad from se Quon
Speaker 1: Barkley last year. It was completely at the at the
Speaker 1: feet of that coaching staff and that offensive line, which
Speaker 1: we're both absolutely ghastly. We're talking the worst I've ever
Speaker 1: seen in the NFL in decades of watching football. This
Speaker 1: was bad. Like we're talking quarterback sneak on second and
Speaker 1: third down in their own red zone. That's atrocious. That's
Speaker 1: not even football, that's just giving up. And sae Quon
Speaker 1: Barkley was part of that offense coming off an acl
Speaker 1: where he tried to rush himself back to beat to
Speaker 1: prove to everybody that he was still the guy. And
Speaker 1: he probably wasn't ready yet physically. And but as you
Speaker 1: saw the season transgress where everything kind of everything kind
Speaker 1: of just fell apart on that team, you started to
Speaker 1: see a little glimpses of se Quon breaking away when
Speaker 1: he had nothing there, he'd still make four yards out
Speaker 1: of no yards. And I started to see little flashes
Speaker 1: of the old say Quana towards the end of the
Speaker 1: year where he was getting his groove back. I think
Speaker 1: with this dable offense, if even if they don't move
Speaker 1: him around a lot, I mean, look what they did
Speaker 1: with Devin Singletary last year. Singletary is not special at all,
Speaker 1: Like he's the antithesis of special. And you have se
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley back there, who can do everything. He can
Speaker 1: be a slot wide receiver, he can be a running back,
Speaker 1: he can do everything you want him to do. And
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me that a guy who's a genius
Speaker 1: at running an offense like Brian Dable isn't going to
Speaker 1: weaponize a guy of that of that caliber. I think
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two is going to be a humongous season
Speaker 1: for say Quon. I just don't know how many of
Speaker 1: those seasons he has left in the tank with the
Speaker 1: with the build up of everything else. Yeah, I look,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm investing. I'll invest in Saquon. Still one of
Speaker 1: the best that I've ever seen. So I want him
Speaker 1: to sixth seed, and I'm I'm investing, so I'll be there.
Speaker 1: I'm here for it. I'm here for the se Quon
Speaker 1: bounce back, the guy that I can't figure out. And
Speaker 1: you know, I put him on this list more because
Speaker 1: he I feel like he's gotta be on this list.
Speaker 1: It's Clyde Edwards Hilaire and I was a big Clyde
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire fan coming out of LSU. I thought it
Speaker 1: was underrated. Then immediately he gets drafted by Kansas City
Speaker 1: and becomes overrated, you know, and I just don't know
Speaker 1: what to expect, you know. In twenty twenty, he was
Speaker 1: twenty third points per game thirteen point five four points,
Speaker 1: twenty second in total. Last year he was twenty ninth
Speaker 1: so on RB three eleven point nine five in points
Speaker 1: per game. Obviously mets a couple of games, so he's
Speaker 1: forty fourth in total. Kansas City has been sixteenth in
Speaker 1: rushing in his two years. They were fourth in total
Speaker 1: offense in twenty twenty one and fourth first in total
Speaker 1: offense in twenty twenty. So they're not doing it on
Speaker 1: the strength of this running game. So as much as
Speaker 1: we like Clyde Edwards Hilaire and you know, all of
Speaker 1: the talk has been about how well they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to throw more to these running backs, they can't. They
Speaker 1: had the most routes run by running backs last year
Speaker 1: eight hundred and forty seven routes. The next highest in
Speaker 1: the league was Tampa Bay with seven hundred and eighty four.
Speaker 1: They had more yards receiving from running backs than any
Speaker 1: of the team one thousand and two. The next highest,
Speaker 1: I believe was nine hundred and seventeen from the Raiders.
Speaker 1: So they're not going to throw the ball to the
Speaker 1: backs more because they can't. You know, I know, Kansas
Speaker 1: City runs more plays. I guess maybe they could theoretically
Speaker 1: throw to but you don't have a guy. You don't
Speaker 1: have a guy here to do that too, because Clyde
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire is not the guy that you're gonna throw
Speaker 1: the ball to way more times. You know, they lost
Speaker 1: forty three percent of their running back targets, forty four
Speaker 1: point three percent of running back receptions, forty one point
Speaker 1: seven of routes run, and forty five percent of their
Speaker 1: yards when Darre Williams left. He was a big chunk
Speaker 1: of what they want in the passing game. You know,
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones, who they signed, he's not that guy. He
Speaker 1: was one hundred and seventh in receiving grade on PFF
Speaker 1: he was one hundred and forty eighth and pass blocking.
Speaker 1: Clyde Editard was a Laire was fiftieth in receiving grade,
Speaker 1: but ninety ninth and pass blocking one hundred and ninth
Speaker 1: in routes. In yard per route run, his average depth
Speaker 1: of target was negative two point three yards, so that
Speaker 1: you know he's not running routes. They're throwing the ball
Speaker 1: to him behind the line of scrimmage. Same thing with
Speaker 1: McKinnon and Ronald Jones. Were both negative one point one yard,
Speaker 1: so they're both getting there. But if you're gonna throw
Speaker 1: the ball to someone more in this offense, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be Jerick McKinnon because he's gonna be in there. He
Speaker 1: was thirty fourth in receiving grade. He was fifth in
Speaker 1: pass blocking grade. He didn't have that many snaps as
Speaker 1: a pass blocker, but he still can do it. So
Speaker 1: I just I think if you're gonna throw the ball
Speaker 1: more in this offense, it's probably going to be to
Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon. It's definitely not going to beat Ronald Jones.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a Clyde Edwards Hilaire, but I think McKinnon
Speaker 1: is more replacing Darryl Williams and Clyde Edwards Laire stitched
Speaker 1: with this role. Andy Reid just recently talked about how
Speaker 1: he thinks Ronald Jones has the opportunity to have a
Speaker 1: big part to be a big part of this offense
Speaker 1: and talked about how he's going to use all of
Speaker 1: his backs. So I just don't expect, you know, much
Speaker 1: to be gained here from Clyde Edwards Laire I got
Speaker 1: him at thirty two is ECRs twenty eight. What do
Speaker 1: you think about c Fitzy? Are you are you enter out? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You mean it might have been a mistake for them
Speaker 1: to take Cech over Jonathan Taylor because that one might
Speaker 1: have been Yeah, it could have been worked. Yeah, So basically,
Speaker 1: like what you're talking about, Bogs, I was willing to
Speaker 1: sort of hold out home for cch this year, thinking
Speaker 1: that he was going to inherit a lot of that
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams stuff and be their main pass catching back.
Speaker 1: They did use their backs a lot in the passing
Speaker 1: game last year, and then like the resigning of Jerick
Speaker 1: McKinnon really put a pin in that balloon. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm seriously worried. I mean, we got Isaiah Pacheco in
Speaker 1: the mix to a big Matt Waldman guy. You know,
Speaker 1: he was talking up pot check on our show a
Speaker 1: couple months ago, Bogs. So I'm I'm just yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of out on Cech, like, I don't have any
Speaker 1: shares right now in any of my Dynasty leagues, and
Speaker 1: I'm not like looking to acquire him anywhere. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: what do you think, because the opportunity is there, but
Speaker 1: it's just hard to see being the guy. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: opportunity is there for everybody else. But every move they've
Speaker 1: made since that selection has been like, oh, crap, we
Speaker 1: messed up. That's what every move they've made has demonstrated is, oh,
Speaker 1: we made a really bad choice here. Thanks. Thanks for nothing,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes for recommending this guy as a as a
Speaker 1: number one pick. This is just this is just them
Speaker 1: trying to cover their tracks because you mentioned Potco. I
Speaker 1: think Jerry and Eely is better than Poticco. And he's
Speaker 1: on that team too, and he has more Special Teams prowess,
Speaker 1: so I think he'll stick on the roster more than
Speaker 1: Pacheco would because the dude's a special team's superstar, and
Speaker 1: then you have his receiving ability, his ability in space.
Speaker 1: He's also a little short guy, like like Clyde Edwards
Speaker 1: Layer who I had as my RB seven in that class.
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was gonna be good at all
Speaker 1: in the pros I thought he was a product of
Speaker 1: a really legendary offense, which he was. It was more
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, he's he's kind of riding into the
Speaker 1: league on a super high. He gets picked exciting offense,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be just hype pipe pipe pipe pipe, And
Speaker 1: then you find out, oh, the guy that's five eight
Speaker 1: and barely over two hundred pounds camp punching its goal line. Shocker, Like,
Speaker 1: what are we doing here, guys? We have a guy
Speaker 1: who has good hands, he's a decent he's got decent
Speaker 1: short area quickness. But why are we branking him above
Speaker 1: Michael Carter, who's virtually the same guy. Yeah, I have
Speaker 1: a thirty six. Yeah, it's it's just tough. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think you could squint and see Austin Eckler, you
Speaker 1: know when he was coming out. You could squint and
Speaker 1: see it. But it just hasn't worked out. And Andy
Speaker 1: Reid historically is used multiple multi back systems. It's just
Speaker 1: has not worked out. So look, everyone prepped four guys,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna speed round for through these last guys. Here.
Speaker 1: I'll just give you guys mine real quick. Mine is
Speaker 1: Adam Troutman, and this is the last year that you
Speaker 1: can really be in on Adam Troutman. I just don't
Speaker 1: think that he is the guy that he has played
Speaker 1: to be in the NFL. I think he has way more.
Speaker 1: The issue is he had the chance last year and
Speaker 1: he didn't do it. You know, you can say quarterback
Speaker 1: play was bad and all that stuff. They were desperate
Speaker 1: for receivers last year and he didn't do it. Just
Speaker 1: receiving options last year and he didn't do it. I've
Speaker 1: got him at twenty among tight ends, his ECRs twenty
Speaker 1: nine because people have given up on him. I'll take
Speaker 1: him as a flyer, but I'm not investing in him
Speaker 1: as one of my top two tight ends most of
Speaker 1: the time. If I do take him as a top two,
Speaker 1: I'm getting another one just to make sure. Don't really
Speaker 1: want to have too many teams with three tight ends.
Speaker 1: Let's I have deep, deep benches. So I've been trying
Speaker 1: to invest in the higher end, you know, the you know,
Speaker 1: Pitts is obviously number one in dynasty. Kelsey's old, I
Speaker 1: don't care, Kittle's old, I don't care. I'll take some
Speaker 1: of these older guys, Mark Andrews a little long in
Speaker 1: the tooth. I'll take him. I'm trying to invest in
Speaker 1: the top end guy, so I don't have to reach
Speaker 1: down here into this mess of the lower tight ends.
Speaker 1: But I mean, Lucas Croll has gotten more the rookie
Speaker 1: from pitt has gotten more buzz than Adam Troutman has
Speaker 1: this offseason. So I still think there's gas in the
Speaker 1: tank for him. I think there's a pathway to success.
Speaker 1: But when Juwan Johnson is beating you out for you know, targets,
Speaker 1: it's not a good look. Jamis has never really thrown
Speaker 1: to the tight end that that much. We saw that
Speaker 1: with oj Howard and Tampa as well. So I still
Speaker 1: hold out a little hope that maybe with now all
Speaker 1: these targets in New Orleans that I'm Troutman can do something.
Speaker 1: But I'm not holding my breath, so I'll just say
Speaker 1: my piece on Troutman and leave it at that. Bo
Speaker 1: who is your last guy in the lightning round here,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of the same cut, just a little bit
Speaker 1: more promise on the horizon because of a new contract.
Speaker 1: Even in Jokum. This is a Browns team in flux.
Speaker 1: They invested in in Joku, they invested in a lot
Speaker 1: of people that they maybe shouldn't have invested in I'll
Speaker 1: leave it at that, but in Joku is a great blocker,
Speaker 1: and I don't exactly like fringe tight ends who are
Speaker 1: exciting athletes who are too good at blocking because you
Speaker 1: find them locked in line making blocks for their quarterback
Speaker 1: or their running back instead of running routes. It just
Speaker 1: makes no sense to invest a lot of capital in
Speaker 1: your dynasty leagues in that type of player. Who has
Speaker 1: a guy next to him who was drafted a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, next to Adam Troutman, Harrison Bryant, who
Speaker 1: was not drafted as a blocker. He's not a good blocker,
Speaker 1: he's equi elevalent in receiving Grade two in Joku and
Speaker 1: so yes, and Joke, who's exciting, he's very, very athletic,
Speaker 1: He's had lots of problems with his hands over the
Speaker 1: years as well as staying healthy. And Harrison Bryant's out there.
Speaker 1: I can't block, but I can run routes. And Joke
Speaker 1: who's like, well, I can block, Like how many how many?
Speaker 1: How many more iterations of John U. Smith and George
Speaker 1: Kittle do we need in this league? Where in Joke
Speaker 1: who's getting his bag, but he wasn't getting paid in
Speaker 1: this new contract for his receiving prowess. No matter how
Speaker 1: athletic and gifted he is. They paid him because he's
Speaker 1: a good blocker, especially in the Stefanski system. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: with you on and Joeku fits who was your last
Speaker 1: guy here? Well, now I feel bad that I didn't
Speaker 1: take a compulsory tight end like the two of you,
Speaker 1: but I went with another guy. And for me, this
Speaker 1: guy's not a crossroads guy. I've made up my mind
Speaker 1: on him, but I know for a lot of people
Speaker 1: he is. And it's Ezekiel Elliott, Like can he get
Speaker 1: back to being the special player he was? Just hasn't
Speaker 1: been the same guy in the last two years. Last
Speaker 1: year he had the partially torn PCL as a potential excuse.
Speaker 1: But I mean, the guy's gonna be twenty seven this year.
Speaker 1: His first four years in the league four point six
Speaker 1: yards to carry in eight point six yards of catch,
Speaker 1: last two years four point one to carry in six
Speaker 1: point three a catch. So I'm kind of out, like
Speaker 1: I think we've seen the best of him, and you
Speaker 1: know the he's going to be just kind of in
Speaker 1: a continued stated decline. How do you guys feel about it,
Speaker 1: thumbs up or thumbs down on Zeke. I'm I'm thumbs
Speaker 1: up on Zeke and it's you know, well, I know
Speaker 1: they said the whole best shape of his life and
Speaker 1: all that stuff that is eye rolling. I don't care
Speaker 1: about any of that. Yeah, in June, he's in the
Speaker 1: best shape of his life. Look, trust me from a fact, guy,
Speaker 1: you can get really fat in two months, so especially
Speaker 1: in the summer, especially in the summer when you want
Speaker 1: to stay indoors and out of all that aggressive heat
Speaker 1: that we're having now. But look, I still like this offense,
Speaker 1: you know, I still like that, and I love Ceedee lamb,
Speaker 1: I love Schultz. I love this offense. So you know,
Speaker 1: he has a high floor in terms of scoring touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He's the hammer. Either's still going to give him the
Speaker 1: ball there. So even if he's not running as well
Speaker 1: as he did before I got him at running back
Speaker 1: twenty one, is HECRS twenty five. So I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit higher on him than the consensus. I'm not going
Speaker 1: out of my way to get him or anything like
Speaker 1: I am with say Quan, but I am in on him.
Speaker 1: Boll What do you think of Zeke before we go.
Speaker 1: I'm at eighteen because you say his best years, we've
Speaker 1: seen his best and it has a recent well, it
Speaker 1: was I mean before he partially tours PCL last year.
Speaker 1: He was running back five and was averaging a little
Speaker 1: over twenty fantasy points per game last season before he
Speaker 1: heard his knee, and that was with one game where
Speaker 1: he got went up against Tampa Bay Week one. We're talking,
Speaker 1: we're talking elite production was just last year when he
Speaker 1: was healthy. And no, I don't put any stock in
Speaker 1: offseason reports, but we're still talking about a gifted running
Speaker 1: back who has the full cachet of abilities that you
Speaker 1: want to stay on the field. He's a great blocker,
Speaker 1: he's very aware. He doesn't fumble anymore. He got rid
Speaker 1: of that problem last year. This is a This is
Speaker 1: a complete running back who happens to have a lightning
Speaker 1: version of him on the other side. That's gonna take
Speaker 1: some miles off off of his workload. I love that
Speaker 1: that because we can get Zeke for so much cheaper
Speaker 1: and the guy's virtually a lock to score ten touchdowns.
Speaker 1: How many guys in the NFL at running back are
Speaker 1: a lock to score ten touchdowns? It's basically him and
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Yeah, you probably throw JT in there, but yeah,
Speaker 1: those those that group, that top end group. That's it.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm with you on that and we did it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: please make sure you follow Bow at Bow, Mcbreyer at Bow,
Speaker 1: Underscore mcbig time. Love that Twitter handle. What is coming
Speaker 1: up for you this summer? Man, I'm excited to hear
Speaker 1: it because you're on so many Uh well, would you
Speaker 1: call yourself the ultimate freelancer? You're all over the place.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna be still doing dynasty work for
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros, some redraft work for Fantasy Pros. I'm doing
Speaker 1: the PGA DFS for Team Rise or Fall, as well
Speaker 1: as the nineteenth Whole Live Show, which is a PGA
Speaker 1: DFS and drinking show on IBT Media, so we mixed
Speaker 1: drinks and have fun and talk PGA DFS. And during
Speaker 1: the regular season, I'll probably be cranking out DFS articles,
Speaker 1: whether it be Fantasy Pros or Team Rise or Fall
Speaker 1: or anybody else who wants to hire me to write
Speaker 1: my DFS work. That's that's I just for in season stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm I like to live in the moment and look
Speaker 1: at individual matchups, and crunch the numbers a little bit
Speaker 1: more than all the theoretical stuff we get stuck with
Speaker 1: in June. Yeah. Yeah, the theoretical work is the fun
Speaker 1: work though, for sure. At fits Underscore f f Fitsye,
Speaker 1: what's coming up for you, my friend? Oh Man hope
Speaker 1: a little downtime after finishing our redraft kits. And you know,
Speaker 1: I know this is a Dynasty show, but hopefully a
