Speaker 1: right into this QB movement that we've had. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna run through the movements and then Pat, I want
Speaker 1: you to tell me who the biggest mover in dynasty
Speaker 1: is for you and how many of these landing spots
Speaker 1: do you like, how many are lateral, and what do
Speaker 1: you think about them? So right now, we're still in
Speaker 1: a holding pattern on Lamar. Very confusing situation here, especially
Speaker 1: Atlanta saying they're not in when they have all the
Speaker 1: cap room and a real big need for a quarterback.
Speaker 1: But okay, so we're still we're thinking Lamar's gonna end
Speaker 1: up back in Baltimore at this point. Aaron Rodgers to
Speaker 1: the Jets is an official, but it looks like that
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. Derek Carr going to New Orleans,
Speaker 1: Jimmy g to Vegas, Andy Dalton to Carolina, probably starting
Speaker 1: initially depending on who they draft Baker Mayfield to Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay to compete with Kyle Trask, Jacoby Brissette to compete
Speaker 1: with Sam Howe in Washington. So, FITZI, when you look
Speaker 1: at these QB movements, which ones stand out to you
Speaker 1: the most? Which ones have the biggest positive impact for
Speaker 1: Fantasy in Dynasty? Well, I mean, I think Lamar is
Speaker 1: probably the headliner here just because still young, and like
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the Lamar investors are probably
Speaker 1: a little freaked out that this is still unresolved. So
Speaker 1: maybe whereas in a super flex Dynasty league he was
Speaker 1: untouchable before, maybe now not so untouchable. So that's the
Speaker 1: most impactful situation. I think. I kind of like that.
Speaker 1: The it feels like a new lease on life for
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, who's still only what thirty one years old,
Speaker 1: And yet I think I've seen like some Fantasy Dynasty
Speaker 1: rankings that have Aaron Rodgers valued higher than Derek Carr.
Speaker 1: And to me, you know, we're looking at maybe a
Speaker 1: two year window max for Aaron Rodgers, and maybe the
Speaker 1: windows a little bit more for Derek Carr, not that
Speaker 1: he's ever been anything more than a quarterback too, but
Speaker 1: a guy who would certainly still contribute and be a
Speaker 1: quarterback too in Super Flex League. So you know, not
Speaker 1: a lot of headliner type movement. I still think the
Speaker 1: rookies are going to be more impactful for Dynasty than
Speaker 1: this free agent group. But yeah, some interesting situations and
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo his relevancy prolonged a little bit. But a
Speaker 1: lot of these other guys kind of now after thoughts
Speaker 1: and backups. Yeah, a lot of lateral moves. You know,
Speaker 1: Baker going to Tampa Bay. I mean really, what it
Speaker 1: does is put a damper on Kyle Trask. Same thing
Speaker 1: for Jacoby Brissette going to Washington kind of you know,
Speaker 1: rains on Sam Howe's parade a little bit. But the
Speaker 1: other ones, you know, Jimmy g to Vegas, you know,
Speaker 1: a little tick down right because San Francisco has all
Speaker 1: those weapons. Andy Dalton and Carolina we know they're drafting
Speaker 1: somebody Derek car New Orleans. Yeah, all right, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of lateral Rogers to the Jets is interesting, but
Speaker 1: he is old ericson your thoughts on this QB movement,
Speaker 1: and is there anyone that stands out to you from
Speaker 1: these moves. I think for me, it's probably Derek Carr
Speaker 1: as well. Just kind of looking at we're talking about
Speaker 1: this next year, you know, at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty fourth season, which of these quarterbacks is still
Speaker 1: starting for one of these teams or is like Pencilton
Speaker 1: as a starter, and just based on the money that
Speaker 1: they gave him, based on you know, Derrek Carl probably
Speaker 1: you know, like Fitz said, he'll probably be a QB two.
Speaker 1: I don't think that he's going to just be horrible
Speaker 1: New Orleans. New Orleans has some nice pieces. They have
Speaker 1: some good weapons there on these defense. And again, it's
Speaker 1: hard to like label him as this massive winner because
Speaker 1: obviously it came from a place where he had Davante
Speaker 1: Adams like he had like Josh Josh Jacobs, and yet
Speaker 1: that team got rid of him. And but that could
Speaker 1: have been more of a systematic where you know, he
Speaker 1: was chucking the ball like aggressively downfield in McDaniel's offense
Speaker 1: last year and that really didn't work out for him,
Speaker 1: Like a lot of a lot of it was like
Speaker 1: Davante Adams making the plays on passes that Derek car
Speaker 1: would throw downfield aggressively but he really didn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of underneath options because Renfroe got hurt, Waller got hurt,
Speaker 1: and Mac Collins was not a guy that was really
Speaker 1: running routes where he could you know from the slots,
Speaker 1: slants and things like that. So I think Derek Carr
Speaker 1: for me, just based on the contract, like he probably
Speaker 1: has the most standalone value just not this year, but
Speaker 1: next year as well, which is something you obviously want
Speaker 1: to consider in Dynasty, is that it is my QB
Speaker 1: two saw Just getting starts like that matters so much,
Speaker 1: like that you're just plugging someone in there versus, oh,
Speaker 1: I have to start more receivers this week or another
Speaker 1: running back because I only have one quarterback that's actually
Speaker 1: starting a game. I feel pretty good about Derek Carr
Speaker 1: being the starter, not just this year for the same
Speaker 1: but next year as well. Yeah, I mean one quarterback leagues,
Speaker 1: you only care where Aaron Rodgers and Lamar ends up,
Speaker 1: and then you're like, where are my backups? Okay, can
Speaker 1: they start? They're fine? Super flex. Yeah, now you're paying
Speaker 1: a lot of attention to these moves. We had a
Speaker 1: lot of backups sign as well, guys, I mean Taylor
Speaker 1: Heineke going to Atlanta to compete with Desmond Ritter, you know,
Speaker 1: not the best scenario in terms of statistics, most likely,
Speaker 1: but good spot for him to land because he could
Speaker 1: have another shot. Gardner Minshew ends up in Indianapolis. You know,
Speaker 1: most likely they're going to be drafting someone, or apparently
Speaker 1: rumors recently, maybe they'll pay for Lamar, but they'll be
Speaker 1: drafting someone at least. Sam Donald ends up in San Francisco,
Speaker 1: tells us a little bit about the health of brock Purty.
Speaker 1: Probably not fantastic or he's probably not gonna be ready
Speaker 1: for the start of the season. PG Walker ends up
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Mike White moves down to Miami. Jarrets said
Speaker 1: him to Denver, Kyle Allen to Buffalo, and case Keenum
Speaker 1: to Houston. Fits any of the backup deals. I don't know,
Speaker 1: raise your eyebrow at all, Like maybe I'll, you know,
Speaker 1: take a shot on Taylor Heineke because I don't believe
Speaker 1: in Desmond Ritter or Gardner. Minshew keeps getting put in
Speaker 1: a situation where he could get a shot, and that's
Speaker 1: America's quarterback for whatever reason, because he's a lefty for MECU.
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but everyone loves Gardner Minshew, so anything,
Speaker 1: you know, raise your eyebrow here on the backup steels.
Speaker 1: I don't believe in Desmond Ritter, but I don't believe
Speaker 1: in Taylor Heineke either, and we know they're gonna be
Speaker 1: crazy run heavy with Arthur Smith calling the place. Jared
Speaker 1: Stidham is kind of interesting because if this is really
Speaker 1: ross being cooked, maybe Stidham ends up making some starts
Speaker 1: for the Broncos. So that's a little interesting to me.
Speaker 1: I think Stidham is roster bowl certainly in Super flex leagues,
Speaker 1: and so is Darnald. I mean, you said it bogs
Speaker 1: like they can't be feeling entirely confident about Brock Purdy's
Speaker 1: elbow to have made this signing. And you know, they
Speaker 1: also have Trey Lance, who is sort of the you know,
Speaker 1: the mystery box quarterback of that right now, Like I
Speaker 1: still want to be a Trey Lance believer, and I
Speaker 1: know he is like quarterback fifteen, Quarterbacks sixteen and most
Speaker 1: people's Dynasty rankings, but like we honestly still don't know
Speaker 1: if the guy can play like I think so I'm
Speaker 1: cautiously optimistic, but I mean, well, Ericson wants to say something.
Speaker 1: It's a good time to buy it, though I think
Speaker 1: it's a two. I mean, like I'm more optimistic than most,
Speaker 1: but the fact is we haven't seen him consistently deliver yet.
Speaker 1: Although I think it's gonna happen, and I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna get like Konami code value from him as a runner.
Speaker 1: I want to let Ericson talk about this. He's dying
Speaker 1: to say something. Yeah, Ericson, I mean, look, I love
Speaker 1: tree Lance at this point because how good does the
Speaker 1: guy even have to be with all these weapons around him?
Speaker 1: Brock Purty the last bick in the draft, who is
Speaker 1: obviously much better than being mister Irrelevant. He showed that
Speaker 1: last year, But I mean, how much better is he
Speaker 1: than Andy Dalton? Right? Like? He just had all these
Speaker 1: weapons around him, and Trey Lance is a weapon. So
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see tree Lance in San Francisco. What
Speaker 1: about you? Will we see Trey Lance in San Francisco?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm still so skeptical of even more
Speaker 1: so than I mean, imagine if fantasy scoring wasn't broken
Speaker 1: because of rushing, like we would care so much less
Speaker 1: about Trey Wands be like this guy's literally never play.
Speaker 1: Why do we care about this guy? And obviously the
Speaker 1: rules are in place the way they are, so he
Speaker 1: does matter and he has to be in the conversation.
Speaker 1: But don't do if we wouldn't care about Lamari, you
Speaker 1: got Trey Lance fatigue at this point, you know, trying
Speaker 1: to tout this guy when I'm like, dude, like this,
Speaker 1: he has no experience like playing football, like and every
Speaker 1: time he tries to get experience, he's hurt. And that's
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. It's not like he's like the backup
Speaker 1: and he's getting wraps, like he's not getting any reps
Speaker 1: at all. He's the best ability the old scouting trope, right,
Speaker 1: like you got to be on the field to contribute.
Speaker 1: So for me, I mean, Sam Darnold is my like
Speaker 1: number one, like by low because he's not he goes
Speaker 1: he's gonna be twenty six by the time of the
Speaker 1: season starts. And Sam Darnold fits that Mac Jones Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo type of forty nine ers mold where it's like
Speaker 1: if you just tell him what to do, he'll get
Speaker 1: it done. And especially in an offer like this is
Speaker 1: the best situation he's ever been in as the backup
Speaker 1: on the forty nine ers, and again it just would
Speaker 1: not surprised me. It off down the stretch talking about
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's starting games for this team. Yeah, like you think,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's crazy to think that
Speaker 1: if he was a starting quarterback week one, like, what
Speaker 1: would the forty nine ers odds to be in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl be? Like, it's still be pretty high. Unchanged
Speaker 1: probably if Sam Donald was the starter a week one,
Speaker 1: you think they would be unchanged. I don't think versus
Speaker 1: who Lance, Yeah, I mean it's based on hype, but
Speaker 1: I do I think they would. I think the odds
Speaker 1: would change. I mean I think they go down a
Speaker 1: little bit just because we've seen like, we haven't seen Lance.
Speaker 1: So he's the mystery box, like like Kat said, which
Speaker 1: always makes me think of the family guy. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't want the box. What what could be in it?
Speaker 1: Even a boat? But they were giving you a boat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean so so we've seen Darnald though we've seen
Speaker 1: Donald fail twice. So I think that is why you
Speaker 1: know the numbers would be adjusted. Of course, not because
Speaker 1: you know, not because Lance is good, but because he
Speaker 1: is the mystery, and we've seen Darnold fail. But like
Speaker 1: I said, how good do you have to be as
Speaker 1: a quarterback for the Niners with all of the You
Speaker 1: have CMC, you have Kittle, you have Debo, You've value,
Speaker 1: you have a great offensive line, you have a defense
Speaker 1: that's strong. Don't screw it up, Jimmy G. That's basically
Speaker 1: the story. Here's why Jimmy G is gone. He gets
Speaker 1: screwing it up. So you know, we'll see what happens
Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks. Any other quarterbacks, you guys want to
Speaker 1: talk about anything that affects them from the moves that
Speaker 1: we have seen pre draft. Here, let me make one
Speaker 1: more quick point about Aaron Rodgers. Like I know, every
Speaker 1: time a quarterback changes venues, I think there's maybe a
Speaker 1: little rekindled interest in him. I mean, we saw the
Speaker 1: yardage per game really drop off with Aaron Rodgers last year,
Speaker 1: and I'm not expecting a major rebound considering that Number One,
Speaker 1: he and Nathaniel Hackett were together in Green Bay from
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen to twenty twenty one, and that was one
Speaker 1: of the slowest paced offenses, taking the most time between
Speaker 1: snaps of any team in the league. Number Two because
Speaker 1: the Jets defense is terrific, I mean, much better than
Speaker 1: the Packers defense was last year. There just aren't going
Speaker 1: to be many shootouts for Aaron Rodgers and the Jets.
Speaker 1: So I think, like whatever was that Rogers average per
Speaker 1: game last season probably similar this season. I think Ericson
Speaker 1: you feel the same way about Rogers, Like the move
Speaker 1: is somewhat lateral here in terms of fantasy I think,
Speaker 1: so I think that he I don't think that he's
Speaker 1: going to be a QB one unless he puts up
Speaker 1: just like an absurd touchdown like ratio, Like that would
Speaker 1: be it if he throws like thirty five touchdowns. But like,
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to see the absurd yardage
Speaker 1: totals from him from a team that wants to play
Speaker 1: good defense. And it's the Briefe Hall Show. When Bruce
Speaker 1: Hall is back, he's the guy. So yeah, I almost
Speaker 1: like that should get in. This segue is great because
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about running backs here, but like, just
Speaker 1: don't forget about Bruese Hall. Like all this Jets, Jets,
Speaker 1: you know, receivers, Garrett Wilson, They've traded Elijah More like
Speaker 1: just draft Breesoll, like that's like the number one thing
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Just don't forget about him. We cannot
Speaker 1: forget about Breesaw. He was outstanding last year. Before we
Speaker 1: go to running backs, let me tell you guys to
Speaker 1: stay on top of all the latest signings and trades
Speaker 1: with our Fantasy News and scores app, The Fantasy Pros
Speaker 1: app available on both the App stores and Google Play,
Speaker 1: So check that out if you would. Let's go over
Speaker 1: to running backs. Let's first talk about a couple of
Speaker 1: possible cuts. These are moves that haven't happened, but seem
Speaker 1: like they're going to Joe Mixon and Dalvin Cook Pat
Speaker 1: look like they're all but cut. Eckler has requested a trade.
Speaker 1: Those are huge pieces that are still yet to move.
Speaker 1: Do you think these moves get made here? I think so.
Speaker 1: Everything seems to sort of point toward that. It's interesting,
Speaker 1: like in one of my dynasty leagues, where mostly sharp guys,
Speaker 1: I think there's some managers who aren't aware that Mixon
Speaker 1: is on the verge of being cut. So maybe this
Speaker 1: is a cell opportunity for Mixon, who I don't know,
Speaker 1: to my eyes, has not looked quite as explosive the
Speaker 1: last couple of years and it might be just a
Speaker 1: good time to move on as Mixon sort of moves
Speaker 1: to the back nine of his career. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I think Cook who still very impactful whenn't healthy,
Speaker 1: but you just wonder if he does land somewhere else,
Speaker 1: if he's going to get the same sized role that
Speaker 1: he's had Minnesota. Yeah, and Cook is the guy that
Speaker 1: definitely would have been gone, but he decided to have
Speaker 1: his surgery, which means he wouldn't pass his physical, which
Speaker 1: would have, you know, if he got cut, it would
Speaker 1: have put you know, some type of salary kicker in
Speaker 1: his contracts, so it made it not worth cutting him now.
Speaker 1: So until he can pass a physical, the Vikings won't
Speaker 1: cut him. They did resign Alexander Madison, which was weird
Speaker 1: to me because they did hadn't cut Cook yet. But
Speaker 1: ericson your thoughts on those guys in particular, Mix and
Speaker 1: Cook and Eckler, Yeah, I think with Cook, I mean
Speaker 1: there's another dime that's gonna drop with the Vikings because
Speaker 1: you know, as I was kind of updating the team
Speaker 1: needs after free agency, there's only one team that's like
Speaker 1: in the negative still in terms of salary cap and
Speaker 1: it's the Minnesota Vikings. So Sarah, there's still a team
Speaker 1: that still has to figure stuff out or else they
Speaker 1: can't sign Arius Smith still on that team, so they
Speaker 1: still have a lot of things they have to work.
Speaker 1: They're in Dalvin Cook's obviously been the name thrown around. Obviously,
Speaker 1: teams are gonna try to trade running backs so they
Speaker 1: can get compensation before they end up cutting them because
Speaker 1: they have to save money because they paid them too
Speaker 1: much money in the first place. So I think it
Speaker 1: makes Madison somewhat of an interesting you know, to get
Speaker 1: as a biolo, because you know, the easy analysis to say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: they just draft someone's well you know when people say that,
Speaker 1: a lot of times they don't actually can see like
Speaker 1: what draft picks the team actually has. Everyone just assumes, oh,
Speaker 1: they have a second round pick, they have a third
Speaker 1: round pick. The Vikings next pick, they pick twenty third.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna take your running back there unless they
Speaker 1: would draft b John So that's obviously in play. But
Speaker 1: then they don't draft till eighty seven, so that's a
Speaker 1: late Day three or a late round three pick. And
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're Madison, it's like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: Madison verse a guy taken to the end of round three,
Speaker 1: like I think has as a as a fighter's chance
Speaker 1: against that type of running back there. So, and like
Speaker 1: we talk about some of the guys that are still
Speaker 1: in the market, Madison got a contract before all those
Speaker 1: other guys did. So I know that it's easy to
Speaker 1: say like, oh, well, he's been a backup, like, but
Speaker 1: he's been good in relief of Cook and we haven't
Speaker 1: seen him obviously play as a starter full time. But
Speaker 1: the fact that the Vikings brought him back and are
Speaker 1: willing to move around from Dalvin at least shows me like, Hey,
Speaker 1: if we got a role with Madison as our starter,
Speaker 1: we'll do it. I mean, if something happens in the
Speaker 1: draft where we can get somebody better, okay, we will.
Speaker 1: But at this point in time, I don't think that
Speaker 1: everyone is still convinced that Madison can be the guy
Speaker 1: when I'm kind of trying to project things out for
Speaker 1: and it seems like, hey, like there's a chance that
Speaker 1: he is the guy least next year. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: super excited to see where he landed because I just
Speaker 1: wanted to see him get a starters role. Then he
Speaker 1: goes back to the Vikings got paid a little less
Speaker 1: than I thought he was going to as well, and
Speaker 1: they haven't cut cooked yet, so I'm just waiting for
Speaker 1: that shoe to drop. And I think Madison is the
Speaker 1: guy like you do ericson, so I am excited for
Speaker 1: him this year. Let me group these three guys together
Speaker 1: and you guys tell me for dynasty and just how
Speaker 1: do you like to fit with these guys, because it's
Speaker 1: just weird. It's gonna be weird seeing them in different uniforms. First,
Speaker 1: we have Miles Sanders going to Carolina. Miles Sanders in
Speaker 1: a PPR league was fifteenth in total, twenty second in
Speaker 1: points per games among running backs last year. David Montgomery
Speaker 1: goes from Chicago to Detroit to pair with DeAndre Swift
Speaker 1: twenty four total, twenty eighth in points per game last
Speaker 1: season in Jamal Williams goes to New Orleans twelfth in total,
Speaker 1: nineteenth in points per games. Williams and Sanders, in particular,
Speaker 1: I feel like they could have bigger roles, but take
Speaker 1: a step back because so much of their production came
Speaker 1: from touchdown seventeen. Obviously, for Jamal that's going to come
Speaker 1: down playing for New Orleans and then eleven for Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders last year. But Erickson will start with you on
Speaker 1: this one. How do you feel about these three guys
Speaker 1: and rank them moving forward? So I have them ranked
Speaker 1: in the same way. You gotta laid them out here,
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, Dave Montgomery, and then Jamal Williams. Sanders I'm
Speaker 1: the most excited about, I would say, because I think
Speaker 1: that he has a chance to see a three down workload.
Speaker 1: Like like looking at who's behind him, Chuba Hubbard, Regime Blackshear,
Speaker 1: like those guys haven't shown anything to these current coaching staff.
Speaker 1: It's all brand new and Carolina, so there's no allegiance
Speaker 1: to Oh, Frank Greig has to feature these types of
Speaker 1: players here, and the only connection we have is Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders has ties to Josh McCown and to Do Staley,
Speaker 1: and Do Staley seems like he has a ton of
Speaker 1: influence on how running backs are used because he hated
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift and he was like not never getting the
Speaker 1: most out of Swift and that would annoy him, and
Speaker 1: that would make Jamal Williams like, hey, Jamal's playing better.
Speaker 1: Put him in the game. So if he's on Sanders
Speaker 1: good side. We saw Sanders, a rookie, caught fifty passes.
Speaker 1: It seems crazy to think about that because we just
Speaker 1: totally look look at him as like, oh, yeah, never
Speaker 1: use in the passing game. But it was kind of
Speaker 1: a make sure of everything bad for him in the Eagles,
Speaker 1: where he was a mobile quarterback, he wasn't good when
Speaker 1: he was getting targets. So it's i would kind of
Speaker 1: embedded in everyone's mind that oh, we can't catch passes
Speaker 1: when it's like, I mean, so much of running back
Speaker 1: pass game usage is usage itself. It's not really oh
Speaker 1: how talented are are they? You know, it's about who
Speaker 1: the receivers are. Look the Patriots and Austin Ekeler doesn't
Speaker 1: get this many targets, Romandra Seveson doesn't get this many
Speaker 1: targets if they're actually legitimate bodies out there at receiver
Speaker 1: and tight end. It just doesn't work that way. And
Speaker 1: when you look at this Caroline and receiving corps, Adam
Speaker 1: feeling like he's the number one Hayden Hurst like because
Speaker 1: the Panthers like adding all these weapons and someone said
Speaker 1: you couldn't you could sneak these weapons in an airport
Speaker 1: like so Miles Sanders is going to be a huge
Speaker 1: part of this. Fits your thoughts on this grouping here,
Speaker 1: you know, I think what what Ericson just said, I
Speaker 1: think that is probably the right order, right, But I
Speaker 1: don't know. Alan Kamara could be going away for a bit.
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's that stuff is real ugly with him.
Speaker 1: So Jamal could have a full time role here because
Speaker 1: they got nobody else, you know, Benjamin in New Orleans,
Speaker 1: so you know, he could boost up. I think he's
Speaker 1: in terms of talent, he's definitely third in this, but
Speaker 1: we've seen him have production before and he's a good
Speaker 1: NFL running back. Yeah, I mean I would imagine the
Speaker 1: Saints probably spend a day three picks somewhere on a
Speaker 1: running back just needing to ballk that up and you
Speaker 1: know Jamal Williams. Yes, I would have been very I'm
Speaker 1: excited about this signing had we been in for a
Speaker 1: full year of Alvin Kamara, because again, just like last
Speaker 1: year with the Lions, we would have seen Jamal Williams
Speaker 1: do next to nothing in the passing game because Kamara
Speaker 1: obviously handles that duty for the Saints. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: if he does wind up getting like a six game
Speaker 1: suspension all of a sudden. That gives Williams some pretty
Speaker 1: immediate short term value. And even though he's twenty seven,
Speaker 1: you know that sort of short term value means dynasty value.
Speaker 1: So if you're maybe in a team that's rebuilding or retooling,
Speaker 1: that might be an opportunity when we do if we
Speaker 1: do see something handed down to Alvin Kamara by the league,
Speaker 1: for you to flip Jamal Williams for maybe a twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four draft pick, right or certainly you're not going
Speaker 1: to get a first rounder for Jamal Williams, but maybe
Speaker 1: something still second third round. And Sanders, I agree with
Speaker 1: a lot of what Ericson said. And Sanders is still
Speaker 1: only twenty five. And I think this dude is really
Speaker 1: talented and was sort of underutilized as a pass catcher
Speaker 1: in Philippa because I think we saw a little bit
Speaker 1: when he was at Penn State that he can catch passes.
Speaker 1: But Frank Reich, I mean, I can tell you personally,
Speaker 1: as a Jonathan Taylor dynasty investor that I was apoplectic
Speaker 1: about some of the play calling with Frank Reich and
Speaker 1: his non usage of Jonathan Taylor, like his first year
Speaker 1: and a half in the league. I mean he Taylor
Speaker 1: didn't start in year one, he was behind Marlon Macket
Speaker 1: took a season ending injury. I hated nihim Hinz so
Speaker 1: much that yeahhem Hinds rotated in a lot. So Yes,
Speaker 1: as much as we were sort of wishing that Sanders
Speaker 1: could have been freed from that committee in Philadelphia and
Speaker 1: has a little bit clearer path to big time touches
Speaker 1: in Carolina, I wouldn't automatically assume that's going to be
Speaker 1: the case with Frank Reich, who's running back usage can
Speaker 1: be confounding at times. Yeah, we'll see. It's going to
Speaker 1: be some interesting scenarios before we talk about more run backs.

Speaker 1: Let's talk about a couple more of these running back scenarios, guys,
Speaker 1: and just tell me how you think I'm worried about
Speaker 1: splits in these new landing spots For some of these guys,
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny goes to Philly, right, Kenneth Gainwell finished off
Speaker 1: the season really well, and in the playoffs in particular,
Speaker 1: the guy averaged thirteen point three touches per game in
Speaker 1: those three playoff games. His high during the regular season
Speaker 1: was nine. So maybe they're pairing with shot Penny who
Speaker 1: has this extensive injury history with Gainewell because they like Gainewell.
Speaker 1: Boston Scott is still there. You go to Buffalo, Damian
Speaker 1: Harris slots in with James Cook. That one seems pretty obvious,
Speaker 1: but I'd like to hear your take. Singletary moves from
Speaker 1: Buffalo to Houston to pair with Damian Pierce. Both these
Speaker 1: guys had over two hundred touches last year. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they chopped that up. I
Speaker 1: would assume Pierce is still the guy because I've just
Speaker 1: never been a Singletary guy. And then Pete Ryan goes
Speaker 1: to Denver, which you know, Pete Ryan was doing a
Speaker 1: fantastic job filling in for Joe Mixon last season and
Speaker 1: Javante you know, a couple months ago they said it
Speaker 1: may not be ready for the beginning of the season,
Speaker 1: and then recently they're saying, oh, he should be fine
Speaker 1: for the beginning of the season. So I'm gonna call
Speaker 1: that fifty fifty. Who knows by the time we get there.
Speaker 1: So these scenarios ericson when you look at, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the Philly one with Penny, Damian Harris going to Buffalo,
Speaker 1: Singletary to Houston, and p Ryan to Denver. What stands
Speaker 1: out to you in these situations? You know, what we
Speaker 1: can throw Deontay Foreman go into Chicago in there too,
Speaker 1: because Khalil Herbert and Deontay Foreman, that's an interesting couple
Speaker 1: as well, So let's put that one in there too.
Speaker 1: Ericson your thoughts on those scenarios there. I refuse to
Speaker 1: talk about the Deontay Foreman Herbert combination because I absolutely
Speaker 1: hate it, and I as someone that's just huge Uncle Herbert.
Speaker 1: It's I just I can't like turn a blind eye
Speaker 1: and think that Foreman's like not going to be involved
Speaker 1: because when they draft Bejean at nine and the fields,
Speaker 1: let's see that. Let's do that one. Yeah, it's possible.
Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter at all because they could always
Speaker 1: just draft another running back too, because the Bears have
Speaker 1: a lot of draft capital work with, you know, they
Speaker 1: may not be un adding to the position. So I
Speaker 1: think that's a tough I like Herbert the most. I
Speaker 1: think he's better, but it's really not about like who's
Speaker 1: the better running back. It's a matter of okay, well,
Speaker 1: like how much better is he. It's kind of the
Speaker 1: that old saying where you don't need to be so
Speaker 1: much faster than the Bear, you need to be faster
Speaker 1: than the slowest person running away from the bear. And
Speaker 1: I think that kind of dovetails nicely into talking about
Speaker 1: single Arry versus Damian Pierce, where people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, he sucks, He's not that good. But it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: but is he better than Darylale Rex Burkehead, like those
Speaker 1: type of jabronies that Damien Pierce was conain better than
Speaker 1: all those guys. Yes, like he is better than those guys,
Speaker 1: and you can't just you have to admit that, like,
Speaker 1: he is better than those players. So if there is
Speaker 1: going to be more of a touch squeeze in Houston,
Speaker 1: Singletterry would probably put that on a guy like Damian Pierce,
Speaker 1: So you know, Pierce also didn't see a ton of
Speaker 1: receiving usage last year, wasn't really involved as a pass catcher.
Speaker 1: Singletary is not great in that department either, so that
Speaker 1: does give him a path. So for me, it didn't
Speaker 1: really moved the needle from me on Pierce. Like I
Speaker 1: think I was probably lower on Pierce because I felt
Speaker 1: like he was more likely to take on more competition
Speaker 1: in that backfield than someone like a Tyler Augier, who
Speaker 1: at this time still like has the backfield, mostly to
Speaker 1: himself because he has the most high profile backfield teammate
Speaker 1: in Cordarrell Patterson. Yeah, like the Falcons, like, why am
Speaker 1: I going out and adding another running back when we
Speaker 1: literally have two great running backs already on our team,
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't make any sense. Whereas the Bears were
Speaker 1: always canned to add another running back because they only
Speaker 1: had Khalil Herbert and the same thing with the Texans
Speaker 1: because they didn't have literally anybody. So we're never gonna
Speaker 1: see backfield where teams just don't add anyone, like you
Speaker 1: have to fill out a roster, like you have to
Speaker 1: have backups somewhere, and teams usually want to try to
Speaker 1: get better backups in case. Sometimes you're hoping they add
Speaker 1: a goomble Wile and Rex Burkhead, so it doesn't affect
Speaker 1: you're the guy that you want to get the touches.
Speaker 1: But right, not so lucky with Pierce this year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I think for Pierce it's I think he's still
Speaker 1: going to be an RB two, And I mean he's
Speaker 1: obviously very efficient with the ball because of his playing style,
Speaker 1: Like it's not because of the offense that he's going
Speaker 1: to average like a probably decent yards Perkerry because he
Speaker 1: breaks tackles like as part of his game, and he's
Speaker 1: definitely more of explosive rusher than Singletary. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, when you embrace contact like you're more likely
Speaker 1: to get hurt. It's just a fact, like it's there's
Speaker 1: a difference between breaking tackles because you run guys over
Speaker 1: and breaking tackles because you're elusive, Like you'd much rather
Speaker 1: be the elusive running back that doesn't take as many
Speaker 1: hits versus Damian Pierce. We saw him break down last year,
Speaker 1: like the dude can dude did not finish the year
Speaker 1: because he'd never taken more than one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: carries in a college season. So I think the team
Speaker 1: kind of looked at him was like, hey, like, we
Speaker 1: probably should make sure we don't give Pierce all that
Speaker 1: work again because he couldn't finish the season. So I
Speaker 1: think sing out there will be more involved, But for me,
Speaker 1: I think it just keeps Pierce in the rby two range. Fits.
Speaker 1: When you look at these scenarios, anything you like or dislike,
Speaker 1: I mean, we're shot Penny even going to Philly two.
Speaker 1: That's a pff, darling. But it can't stay on the field.
Speaker 1: Like that scenario is weird to me. Between who do
Speaker 1: I want between Penny and Gamewell. I think Penny is
Speaker 1: clearly the better back, but I can't trust him to
Speaker 1: play more than five games because he just doesn't, So
Speaker 1: that scenario is difficult as well as someone who really
Speaker 1: likes Damian Pierce and is higher on him in Dynasty
Speaker 1: rankings than consensus and then you know, higher than Ericson
Speaker 1: and some of my other Fantasy Pros colleagues, Like, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of happy about the Singletary signing because I think
Speaker 1: he's kind of a meat shield. Like, I think it
Speaker 1: could have been worse. They could have signed someone more
Speaker 1: interesting than him, And I thought Pierce was pretty terrific
Speaker 1: as a rookie, although granted they did have to really
Speaker 1: pull back the reins on him late in the season
Speaker 1: after you know, and I love that Ericson taking the
Speaker 1: veiled shot at Dan Mullen again for how little he
Speaker 1: used Damian Pierce at the University of Florida. So but
Speaker 1: I like this. I mean, I don't think Singletary is
Speaker 1: going to pose any sort of existential threat to Damian
Speaker 1: Pierce's workload and it could have been worse. Although for
Speaker 1: all of these I think we should issue the caveat
Speaker 1: that they're fifteen to twenty interesting running backs coming out
Speaker 1: in this rookie class. So these backfields are going to
Speaker 1: be further complicated by what we see in the NFL Draft,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have a lot of two man situations
Speaker 1: turn into three man situations before long. And we still
Speaker 1: have good free agents guys, I mean free Hunt Zeke,
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette, Jeric McKinnon still haven't landed in spots. So
Speaker 1: there's you know a handful of free agents plus fifteen
Speaker 1: backs coming in through the draft somewhere in that neighborhood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, these these situations will look different moving forward.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about go ahead. Oh, I was just gonna say, um,
Speaker 1: you know, And I also I think Damian Harris is
Speaker 1: almost probably as far as his role is going to
Speaker 1: be maybe a one for one replacement for Singletary or
Speaker 1: close to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We saw James Cook's
Speaker 1: role grow as the season went on last year, so
Speaker 1: I think he is going to continue to maintain like
Speaker 1: passing down plus um role for the Bills, which we like.
Speaker 1: If if we're James Cook Investors, and you said, a
Speaker 1: bugs Penny gets hurt a lot could be really interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got him in a couple of dynasty leagues,
Speaker 1: and I'm I considered him a distressed asset coming into
Speaker 1: the offseason. This was one of the few landing spots
Speaker 1: that you know, maybe feels good. Yeah, it feels good.
Speaker 1: And then right, I could I mean, at least he's
Speaker 1: not hurt exactly, and I might draw interest, whereas before
Speaker 1: it would have been crickets if I would have put
Speaker 1: him on the block. But and let's face it, we
Speaker 1: know Philly is going to draft someone else because Kenneth
Speaker 1: Gainwell's you know, playing weight is probably under two hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: They can't trust him. We know there's going to be
Speaker 1: a Penny injury at some point. They're going to draft
Speaker 1: someone else and that could be bejan And then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, my enthusiasm about Rashad Penny goes a
Speaker 1: puff of white smoke Harbona like, yeah, I mean there
Speaker 1: are plenty of backs that they could take. Where you go,
Speaker 1: all right, well, Penny's blearly the emergency option you mentioned
Speaker 1: the free agents, Kareem Hunt, Leonard Fournette. Jeric McKinnon is,
Speaker 1: do either you guys have any enthusiasm still for Kareem
Speaker 1: Hunts or did the window of enthusiasm you know, it
Speaker 1: was like we were biding our time waiting for him
Speaker 1: to get out from behind Nick Chobb. Now that he
Speaker 1: finally is, it's coming off the year where his you know,
Speaker 1: yardage after contact was down a little bit, yards per
Speaker 1: carry were down last year. I don't know, are you
Speaker 1: guys still excited about Kareem Hunt landing somewhere else? It
Speaker 1: really depends, like out of the Chargers trade Eckler and
Speaker 1: bring in Hunt. Okay, you know that there's a scenario
Speaker 1: where you could see being interested in him, but it
Speaker 1: have to be somewhere where the running backs are fairly miserable,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's where he gets his shot. I
Speaker 1: guess from me with Hunt, is his lack of interest
Speaker 1: because he's not good anymore? Or is because he has
Speaker 1: off field baggage that doesn't necessarily lead like if you're
Speaker 1: a franchise and you bring him in like you're I
Speaker 1: mean know it was. It seems like it was long ago,
Speaker 1: but it's still part of your profile as a player.
Speaker 1: And remember part of the reason he would brought into
Speaker 1: the Browns is because of Dorsey, like someone that had
Speaker 1: already recruited him with the Chiefs, so there was already
Speaker 1: a familiar person there that was like, no, like we
Speaker 1: trust Hunt, like he can still be professional in our offense,
Speaker 1: in our organization. There may not be anyone that feels
Speaker 1: comfortable like that, where like, oh, yeah, we can bring
Speaker 1: in Kareem Hunt. It's like no, like we don't want
Speaker 1: to bring Kareem Hunt. Now he'll end up on a
Speaker 1: team eventually at some point, And that scares me because
Speaker 1: I don't think that he's like washed. I fail think
Speaker 1: he is really talented as a running back, and just
Speaker 1: the way that he was used last year was just
Speaker 1: so bizarre. And you know, basically after week one, they
Speaker 1: just like reduced his touches like entirely. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: not the worst thing in the world, Like sure, I mean,
Speaker 1: he's not wrong by doing that. But so then why
Speaker 1: didn't they just trade Hunt at the end of last year,
Speaker 1: which was nobody interested in Hunt? And is that just
Speaker 1: kind of a care over effect. We're not seeing any
Speaker 1: interest again with him, but I mean him compared to
Speaker 1: Zeke to Fournet, like I would. If I want the
Speaker 1: best player, I would want Hunt. And maybe it needs
Speaker 1: a it's an offseason injury where then cream Hunt cashes
Speaker 1: in and takes over a backfield potential because I think
Speaker 1: that he would he would torpedo any other team that
Speaker 1: he would go to, because I think he still has
Speaker 1: the talent. You know what, Jacksonville put him next to Aten.
Speaker 1: I haven't be the big back there. They kind of
Speaker 1: do the same stuff. But I think, uh Thinkness Johns
Speaker 1: is gonna be pissed off again again. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not letting Dearness Johnson keep me from signing and running back.
Speaker 1: I'll say that, and I do like Dearness let's move
Speaker 1: to the wide receivers here. I just want to know.
Speaker 1: There's a ton of interesting situations here. Who raised value
Speaker 1: by moving? Because we know DJ Moore got traded from
Speaker 1: Carolina to Chicago. I don't know, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: lateral they run a ton He's going to be the
Speaker 1: number one. They have other targets now, they have Claypool,
Speaker 1: they have Mooney, they have commet so interesting, but I
Speaker 1: don't know if it raises him a lot. Al Lazard
Speaker 1: goes to the Jets, well, they have Garrett Wilson, so
Speaker 1: I don't think that moves him. Juju going to New England.
Speaker 1: I mean, he becomes a clear number one where Kelsey
Speaker 1: was a number one in Kansas City. In New England,
Speaker 1: but he's kind of just a plug and replace for
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers. Jacoby Myers goes from New England to Vegas,
Speaker 1: where I'm wondering where they're gonna put him. Obviously, I'm
Speaker 1: assuming on the outside, but he's played sixty four point
Speaker 1: six percent of his career snaps in the slot. Renfro
Speaker 1: sixty nine point seven, but Myers has way way higher
Speaker 1: contests to catch rate than Renfro, So I'm assuming that
Speaker 1: Myers goes to the outside, but a weird fit for him.
Speaker 1: Theland goes to Carolina deal with a rookie quarterback. Cooks
Speaker 1: goes to Dallas, but obviously Ceedee Lamb is a number
Speaker 1: one there. So I'm wondering, did any of these bigger
Speaker 1: names that have moved here fits have they raised their value? No,
Speaker 1: I mean that's almost a flatnell Brandon Cooks. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess I kind of like that he's out of Houston,
Speaker 1: and things just seemed a little bit shaky with their
Speaker 1: offense there. I guess they're gonna have a new and
Speaker 1: you know, possibly it's Bryce Young at quarterback, and that
Speaker 1: might have rekindled Cook's value there. But I like the
Speaker 1: situation for him in Dallas, and I kind of like
Speaker 1: that he's playing with Lamb, a guy who's going to
Speaker 1: take a little ball a little bit of the Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna see Cooks facing a lot of
Speaker 1: secondary cornerbacks with his matchups. And I mean, Adam Feeling
Speaker 1: is a guy who's I was so uninterested in him,
Speaker 1: and I'm still not exactly excited about Adam Feeling, but
Speaker 1: this was actually a pretty good spot for him to go.
Speaker 1: And granted, this is a guy who's dropped in yards
Speaker 1: per catch, yards per target, yards per route run for
Speaker 1: like three straight seasons, and my god, last year yards
Speaker 1: per run was like one, you know, it's like one
Speaker 1: yard per route. So certainly not excited about him, but
Speaker 1: he's in a spot where he's gonna get targets and
Speaker 1: so I mean, I think he might be able to
Speaker 1: maintain like wide receiver for maybe lowand wide receiver three
Speaker 1: value there for a guy who, you know, I think
Speaker 1: his prime as well past him, but that was not
Speaker 1: a bad place for him to go. Ericson, When you
Speaker 1: look at this group of wide receivers that have been
Speaker 1: on the move here, is there one that jumps out
Speaker 1: or is it all kind of a lateral Maybe a
Speaker 1: little bump up or a little bump down for some
Speaker 1: of these guys, But for the most part, lateral moves, right.
Speaker 1: I think so, except for one guy that you didn't mention.
Speaker 1: I'm going off the show sheet because now we can
Speaker 1: talk deep players because this is a Dynasty podcast. Of course,
Speaker 1: Deante Hardy going towards the Buffalo Bills. I think that's
Speaker 1: a massive move. Honestly, the only that's a shoot Leal
Speaker 1: Shakier truth. I'm slightly offended by the notion that Hardy
Speaker 1: is going to threaten Shaquier's ascendance to his rightful place
Speaker 1: as the Bill's number two receiver. Well, the thing is
Speaker 1: the Bill's number two receiver is up for grabs, Like
Speaker 1: that's the thing that's like a debate here, because think
Speaker 1: Deonte Hardy's going to keep the Bills from adapting Jordan
Speaker 1: Addison if he falls or somebody like that. Though, Like
Speaker 1: that's my thing, Like Hardy is I know, I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people love this Hardy move because because
Speaker 1: it could be sneaky. Well, I mean they paid him,
Speaker 1: I mean two years, nine point five million like that,
Speaker 1: it's more than they paid Isam McKenzie last year, who
Speaker 1: they just already cut and then let a walk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think that you're looking at Hardy. I mean,
Speaker 1: what was the biggest problem last year with a lot
Speaker 1: of their receivers. They weren't getting open besides Stefon Diggs,
Speaker 1: Like Gay Davis wasn't getting open. Hardy got open when
Speaker 1: he played healthy in twenty twenty one, Like he's an
Speaker 1: electric playmaker with the ball in his hands. He gets
Speaker 1: open nine ninth percentile in terms of receiving Gravers single
Speaker 1: coverage in twenty twenty one. Look what we see from
Speaker 1: some of these small school prospects a lot of the
Speaker 1: time is when they don't make difference making plays as receivers.
Speaker 1: Where do they make it is on special teams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's already made a Pro Bowl as a special teams
Speaker 1: kick returner and punt returner, So they know that he's
Speaker 1: dangerous the ball in his hands, and the Bills really
Speaker 1: just haven't had that type of guy where it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: this guy can like immediately take the ball to the
Speaker 1: house on one play, and it doesn't necessarily because Josh
Speaker 1: Allen is chucking the ball down field to him. It's hey,
Speaker 1: let's get this guy a bubble screen and make him
Speaker 1: make guys miss like they haven't really had the type
Speaker 1: of player. Now. James Cook can maybe add a layer
Speaker 1: of that in. But I mean, look, Hardy's free. I
Speaker 1: would have submitted a waiver today to pick him up
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire. And I'm dropping Isaiah McKenzie because
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't think this guy so I think
Speaker 1: he's worth dashing. Like you said, obviously they bring an addison,
Speaker 1: they draft the receiver, then okay, yeah, it's poof, But
Speaker 1: I mean, last spot in your roster for a guy
Speaker 1: who has a legitimate contract, I think it's worth it,
Speaker 1: especially with I mean there are other receivers that I I
Speaker 1: could have signed it in free agency. Djar is still
Speaker 1: in the market, and then it's like, am so and
Speaker 1: there are other guys that moved to that. I think
Speaker 1: these guys have moved themselves up a little bit lower
Speaker 1: names lower on the totem pole, of course, but Elijah
Speaker 1: Moore going to Cleveland, just get him out of New
Speaker 1: York with that weird situation. Obviously didn't like the coaching staff.
Speaker 1: That's a big one. Macallan's going to Atlanta. I don't know,
Speaker 1: from Vegas, maybe Lateral. They run the ball too much.
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell going to the Giants. They already have one
Speaker 1: Dale there. That's kind of a weird move. Robert Wood's
Speaker 1: going to Houston could be a number one at this
Speaker 1: point as AA McKenzie goes Indianapolis to replace Paris Campbell.
Speaker 1: Fits do you like any of those moves? Just in
Speaker 1: a bottle? Elijah Moore, just to get him out of
Speaker 1: the Jets organization was good. I mean I would have
Speaker 1: preferred that he'd be involved in that trade to the
Speaker 1: Packers when they eventually do swing something for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: But he's intriguing, I guess Paris Campbell. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: still twenty five, so he's mildly interesting if he can
Speaker 1: stay healthy. At least we saw last year that Paris
Speaker 1: Campbell is at least worth waiting for and you know,
Speaker 1: cursing ourselves if he if he gets hurt again. But
Speaker 1: um like, I think people were starting to lose interest
Speaker 1: in Paris Campbell before last year, so he proved himself
Speaker 1: to us. By the way, can we backtrack for a second.
Speaker 1: I need to ask Ericson since he is a Patriots
Speaker 1: fan about the Juju signing, Like what's your take on
Speaker 1: that and what it does for Juju's value? I mean,
Speaker 1: but now it feels like Juju's like thirty four at
Speaker 1: this point, but he's still only twenty six. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that it's I mean, it's a pretty lateral move
Speaker 1: in my opinion, I think that Myers is better actually
Speaker 1: as like a separator. I think it's actually better like
Speaker 1: on the outside. And the reason that he played in
Speaker 1: the slot so much for the Patriots because they didn't
Speaker 1: have abody else to like, like who else are they
Speaker 1: trying to feature on offense? So Nelson Agil come on.
Speaker 1: He was always best put in the slot because it
Speaker 1: was just easier to get him the ball there versus
Speaker 1: other players. And but Jakobe never took advantage of that
Speaker 1: because he never besides obviously seeing a lot of targets,
Speaker 1: but he's not dynamic after the catch. So Juju offers
Speaker 1: that a little bit more, but he also needs more
Speaker 1: work to get him open because he's not as good
Speaker 1: as separating as Jacob Myers. Like that's why, Like I
Speaker 1: think Juju Watch played more in the slot with New England,
Speaker 1: and he did last year. I mean last year actually
Speaker 1: Pat had a career low in slot rate with the
Speaker 1: Chiefs as they kind of like mix and matched a
Speaker 1: lot of their guys. So I like him in the
Speaker 1: slot more. And but I do think that the Pictures
Speaker 1: aren't done adding receivers, like they've been connected to Hopkins,
Speaker 1: to Judy Courtland and whatever, so I think that they're
Speaker 1: going to add another receiver here, and that just makes
Speaker 1: Jude You're just someone you're like, you know, take it
Speaker 1: or leave it, like if he's on your roster right now,
Speaker 1: and he's still young, so it's like okay, But I
Speaker 1: mean the difference making that he was when so much
Speaker 1: younger in his career. I think that's kind of long
Speaker 1: on at this point. And your thoughts about more Hollands.
Speaker 1: I didn't even mention me kule Hardman going to the Jets,
Speaker 1: but any of those moves, you know, Peek Caranches, I
Speaker 1: mean lash More for me, Like, I I think that
Speaker 1: he's a screaming buy right now. I don't know how
Speaker 1: high the market's going to view him just after how
Speaker 1: horrible his second year was. But we're talking about a
Speaker 1: player that was the second highest scoring player at his
Speaker 1: position for a six week stretch as a rookie with
Speaker 1: Mike White, Zach Wilson, and Josh Johnson on his thirtieth
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. So I am all about buying it.
Speaker 1: And the fact that we saw Deshaun Watson fuel guys
Speaker 1: like a Will Fuller, like dude, I mean, Elijahmore has
Speaker 1: a lot of what Willfullor can do in the slot
Speaker 1: as a burner. I mean a four three five like
Speaker 1: the guy can absolutely fly and they don't necessarily have
Speaker 1: that already. You know that's not Cooper People's jones. Is okay,
Speaker 1: but I mean we could see a massive year for
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore. I'm excited about him too. Just get him
Speaker 1: out of that jet scenario, get get him somewhere where
Speaker 1: he's gonna be on the field and getting targets. Tight
Speaker 1: ends to end it out here, gentleman, Darren Waller getting
Speaker 1: moved to the Giants. We're kind of waiting for that
Speaker 1: big wide receiver move for the Giants after re upping
Speaker 1: Danny Dimes, used me Danny Dollars and say quon now.
Speaker 1: But um, you know, they go out and they get
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. I thought it was a good deal for them.
Speaker 1: Schultz goes to Houston, Hurst goes to Carolina, Getsiki, goes
Speaker 1: to New England. You know, other moves. OJ Howard went
Speaker 1: to Vegas, Johanna Smith, Austin Hooper also went to Vegas,
Speaker 1: John Smith to Atlanta, Aikins to Cleveland. Interesting moves, but
Speaker 1: not fantasy impactful too much. Ericson your thoughts on these
Speaker 1: big tight end moves Waller, Schultz, and Hurst, Well, I
Speaker 1: think Waller has a chance to be like the number
Speaker 1: one target on his team, which is just rare for
Speaker 1: tight ends, Like there's not a lot of tight ens.
Speaker 1: I kind of fit that criteria. It's funny, I tweeted
Speaker 1: out earlier today after the Giants signed H Jameson Crowder.
Speaker 1: They are monopolizing the wide receiver three market with Crowder, Campbell,
Speaker 1: Shepherds Slayton like they're just getting all the wide receiver
Speaker 1: three Zaken Mustard. And it's because I think they believe
Speaker 1: that Waller is there, you know, pseudo uber wide receiver. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so if he is healthy, it's hard to see them
Speaker 1: not him not having a significant target chair over some
Speaker 1: of these other players who were just kind of seen
Speaker 1: are really more ancillary pieces in a Giants passing game that,
Speaker 1: come on, we can't expect Daniel. I mean, this offense
Speaker 1: isn't going to be just very prolific. It can be efficient,
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna be Daniel Jones slinging the ball
Speaker 1: forty five attempts per game like that's how they're going
Speaker 1: to win football games. So I think that you'll see
Speaker 1: Spike Weeks from several of those different Giants receivers every
Speaker 1: once in a while. But Waller is really the only
Speaker 1: consistent guy that I can really see because he's only
Speaker 1: the one that's really proven to be. Hey, I can
Speaker 1: be the number one pass catcher in an offense, so
Speaker 1: I think Waller. I think it was an upgrade for
Speaker 1: him to get away from Davante Adams so we can
Speaker 1: be the number one target for Big Blue. As for
Speaker 1: everyone else, I actually hate the Dalton Schaltz landing spot,
Speaker 1: like I actually legit hate it so much. This is
Speaker 1: like classic, like Austin Hooper Monster season with a super
Speaker 1: pass heavy offense goes to Cleveland. They run heavy, super conservative.
Speaker 1: He has nothing after the catch, and where's Austin? Like
Speaker 1: haste Hooper just falls off the fantasy map like all together.
Speaker 1: So I'm training Dalton Schultz for literally anything right now,
Speaker 1: Like get him off my roster, give me a back
Speaker 1: end second round rookie picks so I can drop one
Speaker 1: of these rookie tight ends. Fits your thoughts on the
Speaker 1: tight end movement here, Yeah, agree with Ericson on Schultz. Plus,
Speaker 1: he's just a guy anyway who was in a magical
Speaker 1: spot in Dallas. And watch my guy from Wisconsin, Jake
Speaker 1: Ferguson be this sleeper tight end next year, just watch
Speaker 1: for it. Fits is the og Schultz Hada, It's not
Speaker 1: like Schultz since we started this show. But it's kind
Speaker 1: of interesting that all these teams with thin wide receiver
Speaker 1: groups went out and signed some of the top tight
Speaker 1: ends in the market because I think they knew they
Speaker 1: weren't going to be able to adequately play catchup at
Speaker 1: wide receiver this year because the free agent crop at
Speaker 1: wide receiver is hot garbage juice. And that's why they
Speaker 1: Barris traded that pick for Claypool. Yeah, because they looked
Speaker 1: at this this group and said we don't like it.
Speaker 1: That was that was still a terrible trade, but wow,
Speaker 1: I agree with They made up for it by getting
Speaker 1: Dj Moore, I guess in the trade for the number
Speaker 1: one pick, But they just knew they weren't going to
Speaker 1: be able to make up for the add to the
Speaker 1: talent adequately stock their wide receiver rooms when the free
Speaker 1: agent class was bad and the rookie class is not
Speaker 1: as deep as we're used to seeing. So Waller, I
Speaker 1: guess he could lead this team in targets, but man,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I still see him in the top
Speaker 1: eight in dynasty rankings at tight end, and I'm just
Speaker 1: not there with a thirty year old dude who's missed
Speaker 1: fourteen games the last two seasons and really hasn't been
Speaker 1: like this difference making guy now for what three years.
Speaker 1: So I'm a little concerned that that's maybe not gonna
Speaker 1: work out and that, you know, trading for him now
Speaker 1: is like catching a falling knife. So what about Hayden
Speaker 1: Hurst going to the Panthers. You know, the guys had
Speaker 1: one fan to see relevant season twenty twenty, when he
Speaker 1: was just exactly exactly the tight end nine with the Falcons.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty with five hundred and seventy one yards
Speaker 1: and six touchdowns and then get Sicky, Like, I'm actually
Speaker 1: sort of encouraged by the Get Sicky signing. He's reunited
Speaker 1: with his college coach, Bill O'Brien from Penn States. Um
Speaker 1: and strangely enough, Ericson might remember this, but uh, Bill
Speaker 1: O'Brien's one year as the Patriots offensive coordinator. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: not expecting Hunter Henry and Mike get Sicky to duplicate
Speaker 1: what Rob Gronkowski Aaron Hernandez that year, but those guys
Speaker 1: combined for like twenty three hundred yards and twenty four
Speaker 1: touchdowns yeas season. Yeah, we're also getting I don't think
Speaker 1: we're gonna see Mac Jones suddenly turn into uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady at the end of this power so um true,
Speaker 1: But like, I do think this sort of rekindles interest
Speaker 1: in Mike gets Sicky after the Dolphins made the weird
Speaker 1: move of franchising him, and then after Gissicki'd average forty
Speaker 1: four snaps a game over a three years until last year,
Speaker 1: played like twenty eight snaps the game last year. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it was it was very confusing what they were doing
Speaker 1: with him. It was like, uh, here we're keeping my
Speaker 1: KISSICKI he's our guy. But here's way more snaps for
Speaker 1: Drm Smith, so you know, run up the middle run
Speaker 1: behind Durham. Yeah, at least he'll be a pass catcher
Speaker 1: in New England. Well that will wrap it up for today. Obviously,
Speaker 1: more moves will happen and we will be covering them
Speaker 1: as they do happen. But at Andrew ericson underscore, ericson,
