Speaker 1: balance of like, all right, I gotta be present. I
Speaker 1: gotta get the energy. We gotta talk dynasty. Of course,

Speaker 1: to bring some energy. You can find Ray on Twitter
Speaker 1: at ray g Q. That's que and I can be
Speaker 1: found on Twitter as well at kaya Ye NFL. We're
Speaker 1: gonna take a look at some news items that have
Speaker 1: broke over the past couple of days since we did
Speaker 1: our last episode, and then we've got a little bit
Speaker 1: of a Dynasty Dynasty strategy that we're going to dive
Speaker 1: in depth into and talk through. And then we're going
Speaker 1: to talk through our Dynasty quarterback rankings, taking a look
Speaker 1: at our top fifteen quarterbacks in our Dynasty rankings. However,
Speaker 1: I did want to mention this before we get into
Speaker 1: the main part of the show. I'm sure if you're
Speaker 1: listening to this, you're a loyal follower of Fantasy Pros

Speaker 1: draft simulator over at Fantasypros dot com Slash Simulator. Again,
Speaker 1: that's Fantasy Pros dot Com Slash Simulator. All right, Ray,
Speaker 1: there's a couple of news items. These aren't major things,
Speaker 1: not a whole lot's happening here, but a couple of
Speaker 1: Eagles wide receivers were released, or at least expected to
Speaker 1: be released. Alshan Jeffrey. We all kind of saw this
Speaker 1: one coming. Is expected to be released by the Eagles
Speaker 1: once the league year starts. None to Seaun Jackson as well.
Speaker 1: Both of these guys. Now you're looking at a wide
Speaker 1: receiver room of Jalen Raigery still got jj Arthega Whiteside there,
Speaker 1: of Greg Warard. I mean they got to bring in someone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's coming, man, And I've got a feeling that all
Speaker 1: the Eagles fans who were upset that they drafted Jalen
Speaker 1: Rager over Justin Jefferson, Just may Land. There Lsu Tiger
Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty one, there we go. Additionally, Kenny
Speaker 1: Galladay reportedly a strong franchise tag candidate by Detroit. Now
Speaker 1: Detroit's heading into a multi year rebuild. So if anything,
Speaker 1: I would think this leads to a tag and trade
Speaker 1: type of scenario. I doubt that they were going to
Speaker 1: try to keep Kenny Galladay, or that even that Kenny
Speaker 1: Galladay wants to be there. Right, He's a wide receiver
Speaker 1: hitting his first contract, big contract, he wants to he
Speaker 1: wants to pay in, he wants to make it big.
Speaker 1: So for Kenny Galladay, I expect him to be at
Speaker 1: least a tag and trade candidate, if not hitting the
Speaker 1: open market. And then again, big breaking news, Miami is
Speaker 1: unlikely to bring back Matt Breed. It looks like they're
Speaker 1: going to roll in the next season with Miles Gaskin,
Speaker 1: Savon Akhmed and maybe we see them and had a
Speaker 1: running back out of Alabama. We'll see all right. So Ray,
Speaker 1: when we sat down and we did our first episode,
Speaker 1: we talked about we want to hit a wide range
Speaker 1: of audiences right where we want to talk to the
Speaker 1: people who have never done Dynasty before. They have no
Speaker 1: idea what that entails. And I feel like we did
Speaker 1: a really good job of that in the first episode.
Speaker 1: So if you are in that camp and you have
Speaker 1: not listened to the first episode, pausive, go back and
Speaker 1: listen to that. We break it down pretty in depth there.
Speaker 1: But we also wanted to talk to everyone who has
Speaker 1: been playing Dynasty for several years and they may just
Speaker 1: be looking for to garner some more advice, to hear
Speaker 1: some other perspectives and stuff like that. So there's a
Speaker 1: strategy that you have that you wanted to talk through here,
Speaker 1: and I want to just throw this to you and
Speaker 1: let you break it down and explain it. It's called
Speaker 1: a productive struggle approach. So let's talk to you or
Speaker 1: talk to the people here and say, like, what is it?
Speaker 1: What is it at its core? Who came up with it?
Speaker 1: Let's break it down here for the people. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: I do not want anybody to get upset with me.
Speaker 1: So if I if I'm wrong with who came up
Speaker 1: with it, then I apologize sincerely. But the first person
Speaker 1: or the first people I ever saw talking about this
Speaker 1: when I joined it Fantasy Space where Ryan McDowell from
Speaker 1: DLF and Scott Barrett from Fantasy Points. And what the
Speaker 1: productive struggle essentially is is you are, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say tanking, but you are foregoing any type of
Speaker 1: competition your first year or two in dynasty leagues, because
Speaker 1: while your league mates are drafting veterans to try to
Speaker 1: win the championship in that year that you gotta start
Speaker 1: in the inception year, you are selecting nothing, nothing but
Speaker 1: rookies and second year players, knowing good and well, you're
Speaker 1: probably not going to compete. You're probably not going to
Speaker 1: make the playoff. But if everything breaks correctly and you
Speaker 1: land the correct rookies and you know your team is
Speaker 1: bad enough that you get a high draft picks in
Speaker 1: the next year's rookie class, by year two or three,
Speaker 1: you should have a pretty dominant team on your hands
Speaker 1: that can compete for titles for the foreseeable future. So
Speaker 1: that's why it's the active struggle. You are struggling the
Speaker 1: first year, you may be struggling the second year, but
Speaker 1: by the time year two, year three rolls around, you
Speaker 1: should be sitting pretty and you should have a dominant,
Speaker 1: dominant roster on your hands. So it sounds great in theory, right,
Speaker 1: and I think that it definitely can pay off if
Speaker 1: you have the patience. Right now, a lot of people,
Speaker 1: myself included, might not be the most patient there to
Speaker 1: wait it out, right, So looking at the other side, like,
Speaker 1: what are some of the not pitfalls, but what are
Speaker 1: some of the negatives that can happen with this type
Speaker 1: of approach? Does anything come to your mind there? Well? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you can draft the wrong rookies. You can draft the
Speaker 1: wrong rookies, or the rookies that you invest in don't hit,
Speaker 1: they don't fire, and now you're stuck with a very
Speaker 1: very bad team with no hopes of getting better, right,
Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, it's you and I are actually
Speaker 1: in a league together where I actually implemented the strategy.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I vividly remember some of the
Speaker 1: draft selections I was making during the startup and people
Speaker 1: laughed and thought I was crazy and was just like, Ray,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? You are ruining your team. And
Speaker 1: as I look at that roster right now, Gyle, I
Speaker 1: am probably going to be pretty formidable here already in
Speaker 1: year two, and it is littered with some high end
Speaker 1: rookies and already some high end Dynasty assets. And I'll
Speaker 1: just tell you what, it's probably my favorite of all
Speaker 1: the Dynasty leagues that I'm a part of. It's probably
Speaker 1: my most favorite roster that I have. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think that we talked about that in the first episode, Like,
Speaker 1: you play Dynasty to have fun. So if this is
Speaker 1: something that you think he's going to bring you joy
Speaker 1: or whatever, that you're going to have fun with this
Speaker 1: type of approach, then go for it. Like but again,
Speaker 1: you need to be realistic and have that expectation that
Speaker 1: you're not going to be good the first year, maybe
Speaker 1: not even the second year. So if you have the patients,
Speaker 1: if you have the money to be able to just
Speaker 1: throw away as far as league dues and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: then that is a fine approach. But as far is
Speaker 1: balancing it with other types of approaches, right, because that's
Speaker 1: something that we wanted to talk about too, I think,
Speaker 1: and a question that came up as I was listening
Speaker 1: to you talk about this, Like as you were sitting
Speaker 1: there and you're going into the draft, the startup draft,
Speaker 1: with the perspective of I'm only taking rookies and second
Speaker 1: year players. Are you just completely like reaching for these players?
Speaker 1: You know, if you're sitting there in a round and
Speaker 1: you're looking at the ADP around the board and it's
Speaker 1: all you know third year players and up like that,
Speaker 1: Are you just completely reaching on ADP and saying, twenty
Speaker 1: picks off, I'm grabbing this guy because it fits this strategy,
Speaker 1: or at some point do you play the value game? Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of both, right. I
Speaker 1: do think that you know, I selected Joe Burrow ninth
Speaker 1: overall in the first round, and I do think at
Speaker 1: that moment it was a reach. But as I look
Speaker 1: at where I have Joe Burrow ranked in my Dynasty
Speaker 1: quarterback rankings, where I have some of these other players ranks,
Speaker 1: it looked like a reach then. But now, you know,
Speaker 1: getting Justin Herbert like in the nine around, I mean
Speaker 1: that would never ever happen again. Like you talked about
Speaker 1: this a couple of shows ago, the cheapest place that
Speaker 1: you get rookies are in your rookie drafts or you know,
Speaker 1: in a fresh startup drafts. And you asked a really
Speaker 1: good question. I don't think I hit on it well enough.
Speaker 1: What are some of the pitfalls. The pitfalls are you
Speaker 1: get an owner who implements the strategy, who drafts the
Speaker 1: wrong rookies, and then he leaves the league, and then
Speaker 1: you're trying to find a replacement for a team that
Speaker 1: nobody wants to be a part of. And I do
Speaker 1: think you have to be careful when you know it's
Speaker 1: just that is probably the biggest pitfall is an owner
Speaker 1: a dynasty manager drafting a really, really bad team and
Speaker 1: then walking away from that team after year one, and
Speaker 1: then you're trying to find a replacement, and it just
Speaker 1: kind of throws off the vibe of the league. But
Speaker 1: as far as reaching and value, I do think that
Speaker 1: we're a couple of times where I did extend myself
Speaker 1: maybe a round or two as far as ADP. But again,
Speaker 1: when I'm looking at what I have right now, I
Speaker 1: just it's literally my my favorite roster that I've constructed
Speaker 1: in dynasty. Yeah, and you said, you know you've got
Speaker 1: to hit on those rookies, Well, you have to know
Speaker 1: the rookies that you're going to be selecting. Don't just
Speaker 1: walk into your startup draft and say like, well, I
Speaker 1: don't know who this player is, but they're the highest
Speaker 1: ranked rookie on this you know whoever's site like, really
Speaker 1: take the time to get to know these rookies and
Speaker 1: what they can be, and that's what we're here for.
Speaker 1: Ray and I will be breaking down these rookies in
Speaker 1: depth as we move throughout draft season to make sure
Speaker 1: that if you do want to implement the productive struggle
Speaker 1: approach in your strategy in your draft, you're well equipped
Speaker 1: to do so. So let's take a look. You mentioned
Speaker 1: that you took Joe Burrow there at the end of
Speaker 1: the first round. It may have been a reach, but
Speaker 1: now he's sitting pretty in Dynasty quarterback rankings. So let's
Speaker 1: move into this conversation. Let's just take some time. I
Speaker 1: don't know how long this conversation is going to be,
Speaker 1: but I think that we can spend a lot of
Speaker 1: time here talking about quarterback rankings. And we're gonna start
Speaker 1: Ray and do a countdown style, but we're gonna start
Speaker 1: at fifteen and talk away through ten and then we'll
Speaker 1: do that in a block. We'll talk about those players.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that our rankings are going to be very
Speaker 1: different towards the top. I'm sure that we'll have some
Speaker 1: consensus names but the placement of these guys is going
Speaker 1: to be drastically different. So let's take a look at
Speaker 1: your rankings here fifteen through ten. Just walk us down
Speaker 1: from fifteen to ten and let's see who you got there.
Speaker 1: All right? At fifteen, I have Ryan Tannehill, quarterback Tennessee.
Speaker 1: I think we all know what I think the rookies.
Speaker 1: I think we break down their school or where you know.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we've got Ryan Tannehill at fifteen, Tuatonga Bloa
Speaker 1: at fourteen, Matthew Stafford at thirteen, Baker Mayfield at twelve,
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts at eleven, and Aaron Rodgers at ten. Okay, perfect,
Speaker 1: So a lot of my names overlap in there too.
Speaker 1: I've got Baker Mayfield at fifteen, I've got Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: at fourteen, got Jalen Hurts at thirteen. I did move
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz back up to twelve here, so we're sitting
Speaker 1: in this range, and then Ryan Tannehill at eleven, and
Speaker 1: then Aaron Rodgers at ten. So one of the names
Speaker 1: that you had in there, I've got him just outside
Speaker 1: is two A tongue of byloa. Let's take a little
Speaker 1: bit of time here, and let's talk about two because
Speaker 1: it's an interesting case study. Right comes into the NFL
Speaker 1: and was one of those players at Alabama that had
Speaker 1: the situation was perfect around him. You're looking at the
Speaker 1: wide receiver room now knowing what we know now right
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room that he was throwing too of
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, Henry Bruggs, Jalen Waddle, DeVante Smith like good night,
Speaker 1: you know, and then nag Herris out of the backfield,
Speaker 1: like everything was perfect for him. And now he steps
Speaker 1: into Miami where the playmakers, the playmakers around him, we're
Speaker 1: not there. Mike Asiki still developing. I mean, Preston Williams
Speaker 1: and DeVante Parker, they're more of like contested catch players,
Speaker 1: which TA really didn't have to throw into tight windows
Speaker 1: at Alabama because everyone was freaking open. So to of
Speaker 1: the situation, it looks like Miami is committed to building
Speaker 1: around him. And if that's the case, I think they're
Speaker 1: going to do everything in their power to surround him
Speaker 1: with playmakers in this upcoming draft. I did a release
Speaker 1: my mock draft three point zero, which you can find
Speaker 1: on Fantasy dot Com. Released that earlier today, and I
Speaker 1: had Miami taking Naji Harris and Jalen Waddle in the
Speaker 1: first round with the trade down situation. So I think
Speaker 1: at that point, just do what works and surround him
Speaker 1: with those playmakers that can, you know, make life easy
Speaker 1: on him. So if Tuah gets those playmakers, I think
Speaker 1: that he absolutely could ascend into the top ten. But
Speaker 1: what's the argument against Tuah? Right as we sit here,
Speaker 1: We've got him kind of low comparative to where people
Speaker 1: the expectations were for him coming out of Alabama. As
Speaker 1: we're sitting there at where did you have him fourteen
Speaker 1: or fifteen? Yeah, fourteen and sixteen. So let's take a
Speaker 1: look at the other side of Tah and what are
Speaker 1: some of the negatives or what could go wrong with
Speaker 1: him as we move forward in Dynasty. Well, the first
Speaker 1: thing that really was concerning for me, and I know
Speaker 1: it's it's the off season, it's the it's it's a
Speaker 1: loll in content, it's a loal in news. But the
Speaker 1: fact that there were there were a lot of reports
Speaker 1: about Miami potentially not being sold on him as the
Speaker 1: quarterback of the future. Right, there's a lot of smoke around.
Speaker 1: There was even talk about them potentially taking another quarterback
Speaker 1: trading to to the Texans. It's it's so well, I
Speaker 1: mean even I really like even with them benching him
Speaker 1: for Ryan Fitzpatricks towards the end of the year. And
Speaker 1: my thing was, I said from day one then I
Speaker 1: just wish he didn't play at all this year because
Speaker 1: I talked to a lot of guys who are in
Speaker 1: the medical field, the physical therapy world. I don't know
Speaker 1: how comfortable or healthy he was after an injury that
Speaker 1: we've rarely seen players come back from, but let alone quarterbacks. Right, So,
Speaker 1: when you have an offense that is devoid pass catching weapons,
Speaker 1: when you have a quarterback coming off such a devastating
Speaker 1: collegiate injury, and then he's in the lineup, he's out
Speaker 1: of lineup. He's in the lineup, he's out of the lineup,
Speaker 1: and it's weird. It was like Brian Flores was saying,
Speaker 1: we thought, you know, Ryan Fitzpatrick would close the game better,
Speaker 1: Like this isn't baseball. You don't bring in a closer
Speaker 1: in the fourth. So while I agree that there is upside,
Speaker 1: there is talent. And if they do bring in a
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, a DeVante Smith, and now you hear, is
Speaker 1: that absolutely helps too, Ah, But I just I need
Speaker 1: to see it again before I can push him into
Speaker 1: a top twelve, a top thirteen. He's just he's right
Speaker 1: on the cusp for me. I think he does have
Speaker 1: the talent, but I just I'm still a little skeptical
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, and I mean all the things that
Speaker 1: I mentioned as I was talking through Tah in his profile,
Speaker 1: I didn't even mention the medical issues, right, the concern
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. It's
Speaker 1: crazy to think that seems like it was so long
Speaker 1: ago that we were even having the conversation just to
Speaker 1: what even enter the NFL draft, right, it seems like
Speaker 1: an eternity ago everything else that has happened in the
Speaker 1: world since then. So there's a guy that I've got
Speaker 1: right at fifteen. I think you had him a little
Speaker 1: bit above. That's Baker Mayfield. Now people are going to
Speaker 1: be listening and they're saying, like, Baker Mayfield, I don't
Speaker 1: want Baker in Dynasty, at least not as my QB one. Well,
Speaker 1: we don't have him ranked as a QB one. We
Speaker 1: both have him outside the top twelve. Correct me if
Speaker 1: I'm wrong there. But with Baker. Let's talk about him
Speaker 1: and his situation and why we are both optimistic at
Speaker 1: least enough to put him here within our top fifteen. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: and actually I know I'm that guy. I do have
Speaker 1: him at quarterback twelve. I have him right there at
Speaker 1: QB twelve. But I struggled with it. I struggled between
Speaker 1: him Stafford. I wanted WinCE in there. But here's why
Speaker 1: I'm still very bullish on Baker Mayfield. First three years
Speaker 1: of his career, three different offensive coordinators, three different head coaches.
Speaker 1: It was just a mess. Right, Finally some stability with
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski. They've got one of the better offensive lines
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They have a fantastic running game. And
Speaker 1: while I do not believe he has this incredibly high
Speaker 1: ceiling like we're never gonna see Baker Mayfield finished as
Speaker 1: the top five quarterback, we did see him take strides forward,
Speaker 1: throwing the ball, pushing it downfield towards the end of
Speaker 1: the season. And again, with such a strong running game,
Speaker 1: a solid offensive line, one of the best rookie offensive
Speaker 1: linemen in the NFL. If they get him another pass
Speaker 1: catching weapon two years in the same system, that should
Speaker 1: only bode well for Baker, and I think he's a
Speaker 1: very safe quarterback with some upside. Right, He's not just
Speaker 1: floor floor floor. I do believe Baker Mayfield can go
Speaker 1: out there and give you quarterback one weeks. We've seen
Speaker 1: that happen, and I just I truly, I know I'm
Speaker 1: one of those guys that's out on a limb, but
Speaker 1: I am a little more bullish on Baker Mayfield. The
Speaker 1: arm talent, the situation. This is not the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 1: of the past. So I want Baker. I like Baker there.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. I have him as a top
Speaker 1: twelve quarterback. But nine times out of ten you don't
Speaker 1: have to pay top twelve prices right to get him, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: The argument against Baker being a top twelve or top
Speaker 1: ten dynasty quarterback, how where we want to classify, is that, well,
Speaker 1: what are the overall pass attempts? Right? Like, it's the
Speaker 1: conversation of the scheme and how committed they are to
Speaker 1: the run game with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, and
Speaker 1: what's Baker gonna top thirty pass attempts? You know how
Speaker 1: many times a season? Like that's the argument against him.
Speaker 1: But yet the upside is you talked about adding a dude.
Speaker 1: They have Odell becka junior still on this roster. You know,
Speaker 1: like that's that even catches me by surprise because Baker
Speaker 1: started to click with this offense. You started to see
Speaker 1: the scheme work for him towards the end of the
Speaker 1: season as they moved along, and he was doing that
Speaker 1: without Odell Beckham on the field. Now, if they get
Speaker 1: OBJ back on the field and he you know they're
Speaker 1: committed to, let's not force him the ball. Let's let
Speaker 1: him be a part of the offense, operate within the scheme.
Speaker 1: OBJ has a talent to absolutely take Baker within the
Speaker 1: top ten of Dynasty, right because at that point, he's
Speaker 1: letting his playmakers work for him. So I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: there are some pros and cons to Baker, right. We
Speaker 1: can talk about the overall past attempts and just the
Speaker 1: perception of him. But yet, with Kevin Stefanski now in town,
Speaker 1: and this offense was clicking towards the end of last year,
Speaker 1: the future is bright for Baker Mayfield. Before we keep
Speaker 1: moving with today's episode, I want to take a second
Speaker 1: to tell you about Reality Sports online. By now, most
Speaker 1: of you have probably heard of Reality Sports Online, the
Speaker 1: powerful fantasy sports platform where owners get to build and
Speaker 1: manage their fantasy team like an NFL general manager. But
Speaker 1: the question is, have you tried it? It's time to
Speaker 1: go see what all the buzz in the dynasty community
Speaker 1: is about. Free agency, multi year contracts, a rookie draft,
Speaker 1: multi team trades, franchise tags, contract extensions, first round rookie options,
Speaker 1: automated contract and salary cap functionality, and much much more.
Speaker 1: I think it sounds complicated, though it's not. The best
Speaker 1: thing about Reality Sports online Fantasy front office is that
Speaker 1: it doesn't take any more time than a standard league.
Speaker 1: It just requires more strategy. Think you're among the fantasy elite, Well,

Speaker 1: fantasy just got real at Reality sports online dot com.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look here at who did you have
Speaker 1: sitting there? Who haven't we talked about that you wanted
Speaker 1: to mention here, Matthew Stafford, Should we talk about Stafford. Well,
Speaker 1: I really want because I struggled because I had Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz and I moved him around. I just I just
Speaker 1: want your quick takes on Wentz cracking your top fifteen quarterbacks. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I had Wentz and Hurts. I had them kind
Speaker 1: of just in no man's land right as we were
Speaker 1: moving throughout this this offseason and the reports of well
Speaker 1: Wentz wants we traded and Hurts and all this and
Speaker 1: this and this right and I just had them kind
Speaker 1: of at a standstill because I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what to do. I don't know who is going
Speaker 1: to be even the starter if Wentz doesn't get traded. Well,
Speaker 1: now we have that clarity. We know that Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: landed back with Frank Reich and he has a talented
Speaker 1: offensive line. He can't talk enough about the rotation of
Speaker 1: offensive linemen that Carson Wentz had last year. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't have the exact number, but it's astronomical the
Speaker 1: amount of like different different players and lineups that he
Speaker 1: had in front of him. Right, So, with Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: now with one of the most talented offensive linemen the lines,
Speaker 1: they still have pick number twenty one overall in the
Speaker 1: NFL Draft, where they could easily add an offensive tackle
Speaker 1: there to take over for Anthony Costanzo and then the
Speaker 1: playmakers around him. Michael Pittman Junior. I'm a big fan,
Speaker 1: you know, Paris Campbell coming back from injury. If they
Speaker 1: retain t Why Hilton, or if they add someone else
Speaker 1: in the second round or third round the NFL Draft.
Speaker 1: This situation is so much better here in Indianapolis where
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz than it was in Philadelphia with very little
Speaker 1: playmakers around him. Zach Ertz fell off a cliff last year, right,
Speaker 1: so his security blanket, right, you need that security blanket
Speaker 1: for Wentz over the field. There are still some issues, absolutely,
Speaker 1: there are still things that he is going to have
Speaker 1: to work through. Ranking him this high is a gamble,
Speaker 1: I get it. But yet I want to kind of
Speaker 1: land in the middle because two years ago, where did
Speaker 1: we have Carson Wentz and Dynasty rankings top five like
Speaker 1: he was in that conversation, because the future was looking really,
Speaker 1: really bright if he could stay healthy. Right, So I
Speaker 1: think now I want to kind of land in the
Speaker 1: middle because people were completely out on Carson Wentz with
Speaker 1: him getting benched towards the end of the last year,
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurt stepping in. Now I want to land a
Speaker 1: little bit in the middle, and I'm optimistic, cautious, night optimistic. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's fair. That's fair. And you know, we
Speaker 1: we've already kind of discussed both of our loves of
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, so I don't think we really need to
Speaker 1: dive into it. And Yates, I already screwed up the
Speaker 1: exercise because I was supposed to stop at eleven and
Speaker 1: I started. I stopped at ten. So let's move on
Speaker 1: through four. Our players ranked ten through six, and I'll
Speaker 1: go ahead and start it off again. Okay, go for it.
Speaker 1: You know it's funny though, because I did the exact
Speaker 1: same thing, so you could have just let that slide
Speaker 1: that no one would have known. No one would have known.
Speaker 1: But let's go, let's go. I want to do this
Speaker 1: in the block, so we need to do this right.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go ten because we didn't talk about it.
Speaker 1: But at ten, I have Aaron Rodgers at nine, Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson eight, Joe Burrow seven, Lamar Jackson in six, Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: All right, so we started off the same I gut
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers at ten. Nine, Russell Wilson eight, I have
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, seven, Lamar Jackson, and then six Joe Burrows.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Aaron Rodgers. Let's just work our
Speaker 1: way down because we got a similar order. So Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson or Aaron Rodgers, excuse me, let's talk about him.
Speaker 1: So Rodgers MVP performing at just a ridiculously high level
Speaker 1: in this offense. I mean, it's Aaron Rodgers. He's probably
Speaker 1: the greatest passing quarterback of all time. Tom Brady holds
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback of all time like title in my opinion,
Speaker 1: just because of everything that that position encompasses. But as
Speaker 1: far as like the overall passer, I think it's Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers the goat. So, but he's coming up towards
Speaker 1: the end of his career. So we have to take
Speaker 1: that into consideration as we're looking at Dynasty, looking and
Speaker 1: forecasting forward. Aaron Rodgers while he's still playing in Green Bay,
Speaker 1: while he's still got Davante Adams, He's going to be
Speaker 1: a top five quarterback in my opinion. But yet we
Speaker 1: have to take a look at the other side. What
Speaker 1: are the arguments against Aaron Rodgers and is ranking him
Speaker 1: here at ten fair. It's this is honestly, of all
Speaker 1: the rankings. I know there are some tough call, but
Speaker 1: this one for me was like pretty easy. And it's
Speaker 1: not because Aaron Rodgers is bad. He's great. He's the
Speaker 1: reigning MVP of the NFL. But he's thirty seven years
Speaker 1: old and I don't believe he's one of those players
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady who's gonna play until he's forty three
Speaker 1: years old. There's already been reported rumors about you know,
Speaker 1: him potentially not being in Green Bay, whether it was
Speaker 1: this year or this is his last season upcoming. It's
Speaker 1: just it's one of those things where I just can't.
Speaker 1: You have to know in Dynasty, if you draft Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers at his right now where he's going in startup
Speaker 1: drafts with his ADP, you've got to be prepared for
Speaker 1: him to not be on your roster in two years.
Speaker 1: And I personally just do not like the Dynasty that way.
Speaker 1: I like security at the quarterback position. I don't want
Speaker 1: to have to worry about that position year after year.
Speaker 1: So it has nothing to do with his talent. He's
Speaker 1: still one of the best, if not the best passer
Speaker 1: outside of Patrick Mahomes in the NFL. He's got the
Speaker 1: best wide receiver in the NFL. It's just, honestly, it
Speaker 1: comes down to age and how long is he going
Speaker 1: to be in Green Bay? And if he's not in
Speaker 1: Green Bay, where's he yet? And I just don't want
Speaker 1: to bank on that. Yeah, And I think a strategy
Speaker 1: that you can typically see with super flex formats particularly
Speaker 1: is where you know, you grab one of these top
Speaker 1: tier quarterbacks, seeing whether in the first round or the
Speaker 1: second round of your startup draft, you're walking away with
Speaker 1: a Deshaun Watson, a Kyler Murray, you know, Patrick Mahomes, whatever,
Speaker 1: and then you wait a little bit, right, You wait
Speaker 1: a couple of rounds, you soak up some value at
Speaker 1: running back or wide receiver, and then you grab another
Speaker 1: quarterback later on. Right. But I think if you were
Speaker 1: going to draft Aaron Rodgers in a startup super flex,
Speaker 1: I think that then immediately you need to turn around
Speaker 1: with your next pick and grab another quarterback, right because
Speaker 1: letting that go at that same like distance or gap
Speaker 1: at the top with Aaron Rodgers, Like, I'm turning right
Speaker 1: back around it, I'm grabbing my number eleven at Ryan
Speaker 1: Tannehill right like, as far as ADP whatever that may be,
Speaker 1: I'm turning right back around and I'm grabbing another another
Speaker 1: or back in that next round because I know that
Speaker 1: I have to prepare that Aaron Rodgers is not going
Speaker 1: to be my roster like you said in two years,
Speaker 1: all right, And the older that he gets, the more
Speaker 1: that we see green Bays start to turn the page
Speaker 1: to Jordan Love and that's a whole other conversation. But
Speaker 1: the more that we see that happen, then the writings
Speaker 1: on the wall that Aaron Rodgers is probably coming up
Speaker 1: towards the end of his career and you need to
Speaker 1: be prepared for it. So yeah, I think at ten
Speaker 1: ranking him there is fine. I could make the case
Speaker 1: that he is a little bit lower, but I don't
Speaker 1: know if I could put him above the other guys
Speaker 1: that we've talked about here of like a Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, players like that. So let's talk about russ
Speaker 1: started off the season at an insane rate, right like
Speaker 1: he looked like the MVP, like sure fire, Like at
Speaker 1: week four, it was like, let's just call it in.
Speaker 1: It's Russell Wilson and then the offense fell off of
Speaker 1: Cliff like that. It was just terrible towards the end
Speaker 1: of the year. So there are going to be people
Speaker 1: who are split on Russell Wilson and his outlook in
Speaker 1: Dynasty moving forward. You've got Pete Carroll, who is you know,
Speaker 1: double down on his commitment to the run this offseason,
Speaker 1: saying that they want to get back to that, you know,
Speaker 1: and taking the pressure off of Russ. It's no longer
Speaker 1: or it could be no longer. Let Russ cook, right,
Speaker 1: So what's the argument against Russell Wilson. We know what
Speaker 1: he can be, We know what he can he can
Speaker 1: do when he's got full command of this offense and
Speaker 1: everything's clicking. But at the same time, what is the
Speaker 1: argument against Russell Wilson? And again Alaska is ringing him
Speaker 1: here at nine fair. Yeah, I think it's I think
Speaker 1: it's almost the same. And I know this is gonna
Speaker 1: sound crazy because he's a better player, he's got more upside,
Speaker 1: But it's almost the same argument that we made with
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Is he going to throw the ball enough?
Speaker 1: And I believe, and I don't have the stats in
Speaker 1: front of me, but I don't. I don't think he
Speaker 1: throws a lot of pass attempts, like he's not out
Speaker 1: there slinging it around six hundred times a season, you know,
Speaker 1: Ali Patrick, Mahomes and company, and it is Pete Carroll
Speaker 1: the commitment to the run in Seattle. I just think
Speaker 1: it limits his upside and once he stops cooking, once
Speaker 1: Russ is now elite game manager right now. I know
Speaker 1: people don't want to hear that, and that sounds bad,
Speaker 1: but he's not swinging it around forty five times a game,
Speaker 1: so it's I think this is appropriate. And you know,
Speaker 1: I know it seems like Russ has been in the
Speaker 1: league for a while. He's going in his age thirty
Speaker 1: two thirty three seasons, So again, dynasty age matters. Yes,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is it locked and loaded QB one. Yes,
Speaker 1: he could potentially finish the season as the QB one,
Speaker 1: But the probability of him doing that just we have
Speaker 1: not seen that consistently throughout a full sixteen game season
Speaker 1: fantasy season. So therefore I just can't have him ranked
Speaker 1: higher than some of these other guys. And I think
Speaker 1: this is appropriate for Russell Wilson. And you know, honestly,
Speaker 1: that's a good value. You know, if you're getting Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson's quarterback nine, quarterback ten off of the board, you'd
Speaker 1: probably be very very happy, especially if you passed him
Speaker 1: quarterback with your first pick. Yeah. Completely. And another side
Speaker 1: of this that I you know, was thinking as you
Speaker 1: were talking, is that Russ is making some waves in
Speaker 1: the media, right, He's talking about well, I don't know
Speaker 1: or that that decision isn't up to me. It's up
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks as far as if I'm going to
Speaker 1: be traded or if I'm going to be in like that,
Speaker 1: he's making some waves there. Now Seattle has doubled down
Speaker 1: saying that you know, no, Russ isn't going anywhere. He's
Speaker 1: not getting traded. He's our quarterbacks. So but yet there's
Speaker 1: at least something there where if Russell Wilson pulls Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson on a much smaller scale and for much different reasons, right,
Speaker 1: But if he pulls that type of move and he
Speaker 1: wants out of Seattle, we could be talking about him
Speaker 1: in a different light because same age as Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: Off the top of my head, we've got Stafford at
Speaker 1: fourteen at least in my rank, he's got him at
Speaker 1: fourteen that I know you had him in that same block.
Speaker 1: And if Russell Wilson ends up in a different offense
Speaker 1: one that's you know, let's talking about San Francisco. If
Speaker 1: he ends up in you know, Kyle Shanahan's game or whatever,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a very different view of Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: and he could even rise higher. But it's just a
Speaker 1: little footnote. Don't go making any trades or anything like
Speaker 1: that based off of that that little news. Again, Seattle
Speaker 1: has doubled down saying that he is their quarterbacks. So
Speaker 1: a guy that you had in this range that we
Speaker 1: both had here, I think we both had him at
Speaker 1: the same it's Lamar Jackson. So Lamar Jackson at seven
Speaker 1: for me, he was at seven for you, Right, that's correct.
Speaker 1: I have him at seven. Yeah, So Lamar Jackson, this
Speaker 1: is a fall from where he was last year. I
Speaker 1: think I had him at one or two in my
Speaker 1: quarterback rankies. I mean in super Flex, the leagues and startups,
Speaker 1: it was Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes going off the
Speaker 1: board at one oh one and one oh two. Talk
Speaker 1: about Lamar and why he experienced a fall relative to
Speaker 1: where he was being drafted last year. Listen, there's nothing.
Speaker 1: It just comes down to passing, man. It comes down
Speaker 1: to the upside that he gives you throwing the ball.
Speaker 1: The twenty eighteen season was ridiculous, and we knew that
Speaker 1: he was not going to be able to continue that
Speaker 1: level of passer efficiency. And I think, you know, I
Speaker 1: think he's somewhere in between the twenty eighteen season or
Speaker 1: his MVP season and this past season twenty eighteen I
Speaker 1: believe was his rookie year, second year or whatever. But
Speaker 1: you guys know mp PCs, and I think he's somewhere
Speaker 1: in between that one and what we just saw. And
Speaker 1: it's just the upside of him throwing on the ball. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're getting essentially an RB one on the ground, but
Speaker 1: when it's time to throw the ball, I just don't
Speaker 1: trust it. And part of that is the Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 1: organization not surrounding Lamar Jackson with competent pass catchers. And
Speaker 1: another part of that is just he while he has
Speaker 1: progressed in the passing department, are the Ravens ever going
Speaker 1: to trust Lamar Jackson to throw the ball? Thirty five
Speaker 1: thirty six thirty seven times a game, and if they do,
Speaker 1: how consistent, how accurate you know, can he be? And
Speaker 1: I just I don't buy it. This is this is
Speaker 1: a huge fall for a player who's supremely talented, and
Speaker 1: as long as he's playing quarterback in the NFL, I
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a quarterback one because that
Speaker 1: Russian floor. But I just want some more consistency through
Speaker 1: the year, and I don't think we're gonna get that
Speaker 1: from Lamar. So let's I've got him at the same
Speaker 1: spot for the same reasons that you mentioned, Right, it's
Speaker 1: the passing concerns and how does that translate? Right, But
Speaker 1: let's talk about when it happens if Baltimore this offseason
Speaker 1: surrounds Lamar Jackson with let's say they signed a Corey
Speaker 1: Davison free agency. Let's say that they add a tight
Speaker 1: end to in the draft, one that can compliment Mark Andrews, right,
Speaker 1: because that was something that was missing from their offense
Speaker 1: with Hayden Hurst being traded away. They needed that second
Speaker 1: tight end with how many you know, eleven or I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: thirteen or twelve personnel that they run. So let's say
Speaker 1: that let's just play it forward at that point. Do
Speaker 1: you have more optimism for Lamar Jackson? Is? Does it
Speaker 1: all come down to the pass catchers? Is when I'm asking,
Speaker 1: does it all come down to that? And if he
Speaker 1: gets those, doesn't move him up your rankings? Or are
Speaker 1: you going to be kind of just waiting to see
Speaker 1: what does he do from a throwing perspective? If pure
Speaker 1: passing perspective nope't won't move him up. It will help
Speaker 1: and I will be more confident than he may take
Speaker 1: that step forward. But I'm going to wait and see.
Speaker 1: I'm still going to wait and see if he can
Speaker 1: actually hit the pass catchers like and that's just what
Speaker 1: it is. I just have to see him do that consistently,
Speaker 1: and we've yet to see that outside of him targeting
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, we haven't seen it. So if they draft
Speaker 1: a Rashad Bateman and signed of Corey Davis, that will
Speaker 1: bode well and that will help maybe I give him. Honestly,
Speaker 1: based on my rings, I don't think I give him
Speaker 1: a nudge at all, Yeates, I don't think I'll move
Speaker 1: him up at all. I just want to wait and
Speaker 1: see and if he turns it around, bravo, you know
Speaker 1: he'll he'll, he'll increase his ranking, but I got to
Speaker 1: see it happen, and so far it has not happened.
Speaker 1: So I need consistency. I'm taking the same approach because
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the guys that I've got above on
Speaker 1: my list and I'm like, I don't know if I
Speaker 1: could Because these other guys are rock solid options. I
Speaker 1: would have to bump one of them down, and I
Speaker 1: just don't know if I can do that. So let's
Speaker 1: talk about a guy that we both had at six though,
Speaker 1: that's Joe Burrow. Burrow showed out his rookie season, you know,
Speaker 1: the parts that he was on the field. Obviously had
Speaker 1: the injury and now that's he's working his way back
Speaker 1: from that, and it sounds like everything's progressing well and
Speaker 1: he could even be ready for the start of the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season. But he lived up to the hype. Man.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was coming in as in the conversation
Speaker 1: of the greatest college football quarterback prospect that we've seen.
Speaker 1: I mean, he put up the greatest college season from
Speaker 1: a quarterback there were that we've ever seen before. So
Speaker 1: he steps into Cincinnati, He's got Tee Higgins he's got
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd, he's got the pass catcher, he's got Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon out of the backfield. Like everything was looking great
Speaker 1: and then the offensive line let him down. Now, long term,
Speaker 1: I'm all in on Joe Burrow. I was all in
Speaker 1: to begin with that. Nothing that I saw from this
Speaker 1: past season is going to make me jump off of that.
Speaker 1: So long terms, talk about Joe Burrow and why he's
Speaker 1: sitting here at six, which is a very very we
Speaker 1: talked about him. He has kind of the teaser in
Speaker 1: the segue into this segment. That's a really generous sprinking
Speaker 1: for rookie quarterback who played what twelve eleven ten games. Look,
Speaker 1: I drafted him tenth overall in our startup. I'm a
Speaker 1: big believer in Joe Burrow and the only the only
Speaker 1: reason I have him ranked at eight is because I
Speaker 1: just want to see him come back from that injury
Speaker 1: and I want to see Cincinnati take care of him.
Speaker 1: And by take care of him, I mean get offensive
Speaker 1: line protection. They need to sign as many offensive lineman
Speaker 1: as possible. They need to draft Pennysol if they have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do so. Protect your franchise quarterback. What's crazy,
Speaker 1: is Yates. Joe Pearl is gonna be twenty five years
Speaker 1: old in December in a second season, right, and there
Speaker 1: is a possibility, a possibility that we don't even see
Speaker 1: him play this year. And for me, I don't think
Speaker 1: that would be if his knee is as destroyed as
Speaker 1: everybody said it is, I don't even think that'd be
Speaker 1: the worst thing. I would hate it because I think
Speaker 1: he's such a fun, talented player. But if you're telling
Speaker 1: me Burrow sits out this year and he comes back
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty two season one hundred percent healthy and
Speaker 1: confident with an improved offensive line, I'd be just fine
Speaker 1: with that. I listen. I think he's got top five potential.
Speaker 1: I think we're looking at a potential top five quarterback.
Speaker 1: The only reason I have him at eight is because
Speaker 1: of the injury, and had he not injured his knee,
Speaker 1: I probably have him ranked ahead of Lamar Jackson. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean that's something. If I get news that he
Speaker 1: is not going to start the twenty twenty one season,
Speaker 1: he's going to start on the pup or whatever run
Speaker 1: I are, whatever, then he will take a one hit,
Speaker 1: two hit right down my ranking. He'll fall just a
Speaker 1: little bit. But yeah, as of right now, sounding like
Speaker 1: he could be ready. So I'm gonna keep him there
Speaker 1: at six, I'm gonna keep him there. I'm gonna hold tight.
Speaker 1: Let's go down through our rankings up to this point
Speaker 1: before we move into the final block. So let's go
Speaker 1: with you. Work your way down from fifteen to six. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at fifteen, Ryan Tannehill fourteen, two, a Ton of Bloa thirteen,
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford twelve, Baker Mayfield eleven, Jalen Hurts at ten,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers nine, Russell Wilson eight, Joe Burrow seven, Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson in six, Dakota Rayne Prescott, Okay. And then I've
Speaker 1: got Baker Mayfield at fifteen, Matthew Stafford at fourteen, Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts at thirteen, Carson Wins at twelve, Ryan Tannehill at eleven,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers ten, Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert at eight, Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson at seven, Joe Burrow at six. And then let's
Speaker 1: move our way into the top five. Work your way
Speaker 1: down from five to one. Brother, all right, at five,
Speaker 1: I have Justin Herbert quarterback Los Angeles Chargers. I just
Speaker 1: like say Los Angeles chargers La. I'm a West Coast guy.
Speaker 1: I got Justin Herbert at five. I have Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: at four, Josh Allen at three, Deshaun Watson at two,
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's any surprise who's number one.
Speaker 1: It's Patty Mahomes. Yeah. Like I said at the beginning,
Speaker 1: there were going to be some consensus guys here in
Speaker 1: the top five. I've got Dak Prescott at five. I've
Speaker 1: got Deshaun Watson at four, Kyler Murray at three, Josh
Speaker 1: Allen at two, and Patrick Mahomes at one. So let's
Speaker 1: talk about Justin Herbert. You've got him up at you
Speaker 1: said five, five, I got Herbert at five, all right, perfect,
Speaker 1: I've got him at eight. Now the difference, I'll say this,
Speaker 1: the difference in my rankings between five and eight is
Speaker 1: not drastic, right, It's a small gap. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about this. Though, Justin Herbert from let's go back to
Speaker 1: let's go back to Oregon man like him coming out,
Speaker 1: it wasn't great. Like I'm gonna be honest, I didn't
Speaker 1: have him ranked very highly. I had clearly Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: at one, two right behind him. Then I had actually,
Speaker 1: I think I talked about this on a previous episode,
Speaker 1: had Jake from at three then Justin Herbert at four,
Speaker 1: because the twenty eighteen tape for Justin Herbert was actually
Speaker 1: pretty good. Twenty nineteen not so much so him coming
Speaker 1: into the NFL landing in Los Angeles, and I mean,
Speaker 1: he steps in. Can we even talk about him stepping in?
Speaker 1: Like I was listening to Hunter Henry talk the other
Speaker 1: day and he was like, we didn't even know that
Speaker 1: Justin We like he ran into the huddle because that
Speaker 1: was the situation where Tyrod had his lung punctured. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert runs into the huddle and Hunter was like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing here? Like he legitimately asked that
Speaker 1: question like that for the first snap of that game.
Speaker 1: And so Justin Herbert gets thrown into the fire and
Speaker 1: he delivers. He comes out and I mean the stretch
Speaker 1: that he went on and just set the leak on fire.
Speaker 1: So Herbert, I am very very optimistic for him moving forward.
Speaker 1: But yet at the same time, I'm also kind of
Speaker 1: wanting to like pump the brakes because I still have
Speaker 1: this larger sample size hanging over my head and in
Speaker 1: my mind of like, okay, but he didn't look that
Speaker 1: great in college. What happened? What changed? Is he gonna
Speaker 1: come back down to earth a little bit? What's this
Speaker 1: all gonna look like? So are you just all in
Speaker 1: on Justin Herbert? You think that he is the real deal,
Speaker 1: He's going to be a top tier quarterback long term.
Speaker 1: Where are you at with Justin Herbert? I do? I'm
Speaker 1: all in. He's got all the physical tools. Like you said,
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen tape at Oregon was phenomenal, and there
Speaker 1: were talks that if he had come out in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: he was going to be one of the top draft
Speaker 1: picks that year, and a lot of people thought he
Speaker 1: was going to come out. He returns for a senior year.
Speaker 1: He wanted to play with his brother, who's a tight
Speaker 1: end at Oregon, and it just didn't go well for
Speaker 1: him in the season and totality, but there were still
Speaker 1: some really good moments. Here's the thing for me, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the tools and what he can do well
Speaker 1: at six foot six, at his size, he's very athletic
Speaker 1: and mobile, and I don't even think we really saw
Speaker 1: him really scratch the potential of what he can do
Speaker 1: on the ground because he was just tearing teams up
Speaker 1: from the pocket with you know, with improved pass catching weapons.
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that they add another pass catching weapon outside
Speaker 1: of Keenan Allen. Mike Williams may not be back, Jalen
Speaker 1: Guiden and Terry and Johnson are not Tyran Johnson aren't
Speaker 1: legitimate pass catchers like I just think that the ceiling
Speaker 1: is extremely high and the era was pointed up for Herbert.
Speaker 1: You know, I do want to see him do it again, right.
Speaker 1: I can't be all in and have him, you know,
Speaker 1: quarterback two, quarterback three right now, but a young quarterback
Speaker 1: that has just a bazooka attached to his arm. I
Speaker 1: saw enough out of him this twenty twenty season, without
Speaker 1: a traditional training camp, without rookie mini camp, without OTA's right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we didn't even talk about that, Yeah, to to do
Speaker 1: what he did. I don't think people understand how ridiculous
Speaker 1: that season was, and it was just special because Burrow
Speaker 1: was on that same trajectory. But we did see Herbert
Speaker 1: do it healthily throughout the whole season, So I'm comfortable
Speaker 1: with him at five. The interesting part for me heading
Speaker 1: into next season two is the head coaching change, Right,
Speaker 1: We've got Brandon Staley stepping in the former defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: for the Los Angeles Rams. He stays in the same stadium,
Speaker 1: just becomes the head coach for the other teams. So
Speaker 1: what does that do for the overall offensive philosophy? If
Speaker 1: memory serves correctly, I can look this up, or maybe
Speaker 1: you can while I'm talking to Shane Steiken. Is the
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator was last year? I think he was retained
Speaker 1: in that coaching change. So I think the offense is
Speaker 1: probably going to stay the same. But do we see
Speaker 1: the overall philosophy change. Does Brandon Staley as a defensive
Speaker 1: minded coach, does he step in and say, Okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna commit to the run game. We're gonna add a
Speaker 1: you know, we're going to invest significant draft capital in
Speaker 1: a Javanta Williams at the top of the second round
Speaker 1: or whatever, right like to invest in that running back
Speaker 1: to make sure that we take away some of the
Speaker 1: pressure off of Justin Herbert and we commit to the
Speaker 1: ground games that we can lean on our defense. Like
Speaker 1: all this does that play into the overall outlook for
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert? At this point, I don't have that clarity.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to kind of remain a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, I've used cautiously optimistic, right, so I think
Speaker 1: but again I mentioned it the difference between five and
Speaker 1: eight in my rankings. Here at this point, if I've
Speaker 1: got you in my top ten, it means I'm pretty
Speaker 1: optimistic on you. I think that you're pretty solid and
Speaker 1: have a very good chance of being a top tier
Speaker 1: contributor for many years down the road. Well, and I
Speaker 1: think you make valid points. And Stiken is leaving, so
Speaker 1: you know, the coaching change is always it's always scary, right,
Speaker 1: But you would like to think that these are supposed
Speaker 1: to be the best and brightest minds in football in
Speaker 1: the entire world, and they will see that they have
Speaker 1: the offensive rookie of the year on their team and
Speaker 1: allow him to do what he does well, would just
Speaker 1: throw the ball down field. And you know, as we
Speaker 1: look at these, like you said, if you're inside the
Speaker 1: top ten, you're a stud. What I'm really excited about
Speaker 1: is you have my man, Dak Prescott ranked really really high,
Speaker 1: and I want you to really dive into Dak and
Speaker 1: why you have him ranked where you do. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: So doubling back to Justin hert really quick you did
Speaker 1: mention Shane Steken did leave. He is now the offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator in Philadelphia alongside Nick Siriani there, and then Joe
Speaker 1: Lombardi is now the offensive coordinator in Los Angeles, so
Speaker 1: we could see a shift in offensive philosophy. Going back
Speaker 1: to Dak, I don't think that the injury should play
Speaker 1: any factor here that I mean, I can as soon
Speaker 1: as I said the injury, I could have I had
Speaker 1: the mental image right of him just holding his ankle
Speaker 1: in a point yeah anyway, So I don't think that
Speaker 1: that should play any sort of role in my ranking
Speaker 1: of him when he is healthy, when he is on
Speaker 1: the field with the pass catching core that he has
Speaker 1: around him, Mary Cooper, Michael Gallup, Ceedee Lamb, I mean,
Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin, Dalton Schultz. We talked about that on a
Speaker 1: previous episode. Like Ezegel Elliott out of the backfield, Tony Pollard,
Speaker 1: like the cast, the supporting cast around him is enough
Speaker 1: for him to just play out of his mind right,
Speaker 1: just play extremely solid football. So I think moving forward,
Speaker 1: I'm very optimistic on Dak's still very young. You talked
Speaker 1: about Burrow at twenty five. He's gonna be twenty five.
Speaker 1: Dak's only twenty seven, so the difference in age here
Speaker 1: is not crazy. I think that Dak long term, I'm
Speaker 1: still I'm still all in with him, love him, I
Speaker 1: mean down here, living down here in Dallas. He's the
Speaker 1: heart and soul of Dallas. I do think they get
Speaker 1: something done. And that's the only reason I have him
Speaker 1: outside of my top five is just the uncertainty. You know,
Speaker 1: if that goes to the Denver Broncos, just maybe that's good.
Speaker 1: But I just think that where he's at, what he's
Speaker 1: able to do on the ground, through the air, the
Speaker 1: past kinching weapons that Dallas has, I'm with you, I'm
Speaker 1: not concerned about the ankle injury. All kinds of medical
Speaker 1: people that I've I've read or seen things they're like,
Speaker 1: broke his leg, He'll be fine for training camp, He'll
Speaker 1: be ready for the season. So that does not a
Speaker 1: factor into my ranking of Dak Prescott. But he's just
Speaker 1: it's a phenomenal quarterback and he's got a rushing floor
Speaker 1: for you, He's got a rushing touchdown floor. And then
Speaker 1: to start it, do you remember the tear that Dak
Speaker 1: he was on to start, I mean it was four
Speaker 1: hundred yard game after four hundred yard game. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was getting you fifty forty five points a game.
Speaker 1: It was insane what he was doing. So if you
Speaker 1: just you know, I know, we can't duplicate production one
Speaker 1: for one, but if he's anywhere near that player or better,
Speaker 1: I think five and six maybe too low for Dak Prescott. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think there are going to be people in
Speaker 1: startup drafts that are gonna be kind of scared off
Speaker 1: of the injury. And at that point, if you can
Speaker 1: get Dak at even more of a discount, then yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely signed me up. Let's take a look here at
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Now, obviously this is a whole situation, and
Speaker 1: you know, who knows what the heck is gonna happen here.
Speaker 1: If Deshaun Watson, if we get to the point where
Speaker 1: he let's just play it forward. Deshaun Watson holds out
Speaker 1: this season, which is a very realistic possibility. If he
Speaker 1: holds out, does he move down your rankings at all? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he would move down a little bit. He'd take a
Speaker 1: little bit of a tumble put you know, extremely young
Speaker 1: from the time that he took over as a rookie.
Speaker 1: I mean he's just he's efficient, he's dynamic, and you know,
Speaker 1: if I asked you to name five Texans wide receivers,
Speaker 1: it'd probably be a struggle to get there. And he
Speaker 1: still led the league in passing yards, which just blows
Speaker 1: my mind how good Deshaun Watson was. And you know
Speaker 1: we talk about you know, him potentially holding out Yates.
Speaker 1: I ask you if he goes to Carolina or put
Speaker 1: potentially the Bears, I mean, what does that do for
Speaker 1: his stock in your opinion? Yeah, I think, well, those
Speaker 1: are two very different scenarios. So I think if he
Speaker 1: goes if he goes to Carolina, then that's something where
Speaker 1: the supporting casts around him Curtis Samuel, d J. Moore, Well,
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel might not be back Robbie Anderson. I mean,
Speaker 1: if they add a tight end like point, I think
Speaker 1: it's a very different situation. You're Joe Brady is the
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I would love that. I think that he
Speaker 1: would maybe even bump up over Kyler Murray in my rankings.
Speaker 1: As far as going to Chicago, that's a different scenario
Speaker 1: because who is going to be catching the ball from him? Right?
Speaker 1: Like the pass catchers there are a bit of a
Speaker 1: question mark with Alan Robinson potentially barreling towards free agencies.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I think that he would fall
Speaker 1: a little bit if he does end up in Chicago,
Speaker 1: which does not seem like a realistic possible they I
Speaker 1: don't think that they would even have any sort of
Speaker 1: the package that they would have to send away to
Speaker 1: get him. But then if he does end up in Carolina,
Speaker 1: I think that bodes well for his fantasy stock. Now
Speaker 1: I ask you the question about him holding out because
Speaker 1: for me, I don't know if it would. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he would bump down my rankings. It depends
Speaker 1: on the overall situation and reading the tea leaves and
Speaker 1: you know, just okay, what does that mean long term
Speaker 1: when we get to that point. But based on my
Speaker 1: understanding of the situation, he would still have to report
Speaker 1: by week ten to be able to count that season,
Speaker 1: So you know, it would just be kind of like
Speaker 1: we would view him, Okay, he's out for the first
Speaker 1: ten weeks of the season. He landed on IR or
Speaker 1: whatever right like that point, it's dynasty, man, I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna move a franchise quarterback guy who has
Speaker 1: played at the level that Deshaun Watson has because he
Speaker 1: landed on ir right like that, that's the way that
Speaker 1: we I think I would approach it. But I think
Speaker 1: if he if this situation does fester to the point
Speaker 1: where he just says, Okay, well, I'm really I'm not
Speaker 1: even going to report this season, and it's about the
Speaker 1: principle and I don't care how much money you find,
Speaker 1: then that of course would alter. But knowing what I
Speaker 1: know that at least he has to report by week
Speaker 1: ten to count that season, then that would be something.
Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, so let's go ahead. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, yeah, man, I mean, I've got him at two,
Speaker 1: so I'm extremely high on him. I just these two
Speaker 1: through five for me, it's just so it's so tight.
Speaker 1: It's so tight, and you know, at two, if he
Speaker 1: were to hold out, I would have no problem bumping
Speaker 1: my number three guy up over him. But he's still
Speaker 1: gonna be a top five quarterback for me. Yeah overall, Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's good to know. Let's take a look at Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray here. Kyler obviously with I think the majority of
Speaker 1: his fantasy stock doesn't come through mainly his passing volume,
Speaker 1: right you know, he is in a very past happy offense.
Speaker 1: He's got Deander Hopkins, which of course is great, he says,
Speaker 1: rushing ability, it's his ability to scramble and pick up
Speaker 1: thirty yards on the ground because he's just a jitterbug
Speaker 1: out on the field, you know, moving at a different
Speaker 1: speed than everyone else. So especially around the goal line.
Speaker 1: He was utilized heavily in that fashion even last year.
Speaker 1: But then we saw him get banged up, right, it
Speaker 1: was that shoulder injury, but yet we didn't know what
Speaker 1: exactly was going on, and that affected him around the
Speaker 1: goal line. They weren't utilizing him as that goal line
Speaker 1: running back, if you will. But then towards the end
Speaker 1: of the season we started to see that change and
Speaker 1: Kennyan Drake's stock took a dip. Right, So moving forward
Speaker 1: in the next year, I don't want to bump Kyler
Speaker 1: so far down and that we forget about what he
Speaker 1: has done as a runner and how valuable that is
Speaker 1: for fantasy, especially when he does have Kyler is a
Speaker 1: great passer, right, Like, It's a different scenario from a
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson where you have questions about his overall passing
Speaker 1: technique and you know his refinement in that area. No,
Speaker 1: Kyler's got a cannon of an arm. He's accurate downfield.
Speaker 1: You know, there's some issues here or there, of course,
Speaker 1: but yet it's enough for me to keep him securely
Speaker 1: here in my top three. Right, Like, I'm very optimistic
Speaker 1: for him long term, still very young. Only this is
Speaker 1: his third season now heading into his third season. So
Speaker 1: Kyler long term, I'm a big fan of I think
Speaker 1: that you can still build your Dynasty team, your Superplex
Speaker 1: team around him. But I know that you had him
Speaker 1: in your top five. Two where did he land exactly? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have him at four. I have him overall at four. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and yeah, he's great. He's fantastic. Twenty six touchdowns through
Speaker 1: the air, eleven on the ground. He was you know,
Speaker 1: over eight hundred rushing yards. I mean that's a one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three attempts. So, like you said, he's
Speaker 1: ripping off like thirty yard run, you know, twenty yard runs.
Speaker 1: Juk and people out. The only reason I have met four,
Speaker 1: and it sounds crazy, it's just it's the size, right,
Speaker 1: It's it's yeah, we normally we see Kyler Murray get
Speaker 1: down and not get hit. He is very good at
Speaker 1: avoiding the big hit. But this season we did see
Speaker 1: him tagged a couple of times. And when he gets hit.
Speaker 1: He's five foot ten, two hundred pounds. And the guys
Speaker 1: that I have if that, and the guys that I
Speaker 1: have ranked above him, you know, six to five, sixty
Speaker 1: three to twenty to eighteen, they're just they're sturdier players.
Speaker 1: So I just long term sustainability is the only reason
Speaker 1: I have him at four. But who's four is great?
Speaker 1: I mean I would build. I would be happy to draft.
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is my QB one any day of the week.
Speaker 1: And he's twenty three years old. Twenty three years old, Yeah,
Speaker 1: splitting hairs with the top guys here. So Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: let's talk about him. I mean coming out of well,
Speaker 1: not coming out of nowhere, but as far as this
Speaker 1: season that he had this last year, great exceeded expectations,
Speaker 1: set the league on fire. Was performing at an MVP level.
Speaker 1: What he brings you as far as a passer now
Speaker 1: with stefan digs in town and then also with his
Speaker 1: rushing floor, the rushing touchdown upside, I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: crazy what he's able to do. So I've got him
Speaker 1: at two long term. I think you can. That's another
Speaker 1: one of those guys that you can absolutely build your
Speaker 1: dynasty team around. You were getting him as your QB
Speaker 1: two in some spots and super flex startups. Last year
Speaker 1: there were people who wouldn't touch Josh Allen with a
Speaker 1: ten foot poll, and now they're looking pretty pretty foolish
Speaker 1: because of what he has turned into. So Josh Allen
Speaker 1: long term I'm a big fan of. Are there really
Speaker 1: are there really any negatives with Josh Allen? Like, is
Speaker 1: there anything that we can point to and say like
Speaker 1: this is his path that he doesn't sustain this value
Speaker 1: long term? No? No, I see no negative. I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I couldn't come up. I couldn't come up with one. No,
Speaker 1: I'm being see, there are no negatives. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: everything you said and then he's six with five two
Speaker 1: hundred and forty pounds and he you know, it's amazing
Speaker 1: how quarterback gets better when you give him an elite
Speaker 1: wide receiver to throw the ball too. I'm just shocking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: isn't that something just what an amazing concept? Get him
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and look how much better he got?
Speaker 1: Now will he throw for seventy percent completion percentage. Again,
Speaker 1: maybe not, but he's there are no negatives none. He's amazing,
Speaker 1: He's fantastic, and I haven't at quarterback three and easily.
Speaker 1: That's why I said, if Deshaun Watson said, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna play this season until okay, Deshan, You'll go down
Speaker 1: to QB three and I'll move Josh Allen to QB two.
Speaker 1: No issues, no slight to Watson, I'm just looking for
Speaker 1: a reason to bump Josh Allen up. We talked about
Speaker 1: no negatives with Josh Allen number one quarterback. No negatives, Man,
Speaker 1: I don't I really don't know if we need to
Speaker 1: sit here and dissect Patrick Mahomes from a dynasty perspective
Speaker 1: and what he brings to the table. Man. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's got the long term contract. You know that he's
Speaker 1: gonna be great for years and years and years. Play
Speaker 1: this forward five years from now, is Patrick Mahomes probably
Speaker 1: still your number one dynasty quarterback? Like, what's the percentage
Speaker 1: chance of that happening. I think it's a very very
Speaker 1: high probability that he's still the number one quarterback and
Speaker 1: if somebody overtakes him at the one spot. They have to.
Speaker 1: It has to be multiple just ridiculous type seasons, right,
Speaker 1: I just the only it's not even a negative. I
Speaker 1: just I just wonder Yates after the Chiefs tried to
Speaker 1: throw their way to a super Bowl and it didn't happen,
Speaker 1: right defense, I know the offensive line was banged up.
Speaker 1: I just wonder if they do a little more to
Speaker 1: protect Mahomes, maybe not throw it as much, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe they shave it, like run it a little bit more,
Speaker 1: incorporate the run a little bit more, just to and
Speaker 1: even if they do that, he's still gonna throw for
Speaker 1: forty five yards a season. I just I wonder if
Speaker 1: they're going to just try to protect him a little
Speaker 1: bit more. If if there's one negative that I would
Speaker 1: like Mahomes not to do, it's to take so many
Speaker 1: big hits he gets he gets rocked. Man, he runs
Speaker 1: down a lot and he gets rocked, he gets tackled awkwardly.
Speaker 1: I would just really like him to just get down
Speaker 1: and not get hit. Yeah. Well that's the conversation of
Speaker 1: Clyde Edward Tilaire. You know, it's like, Okay, well he's great,
Speaker 1: he's in a fantastic offense. Are they going to give
Speaker 1: him the ball, you know. So I just don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that is really in Andy Reid's DNA
Speaker 1: as a play cooler right to be able to turn
Speaker 1: away from Patrick Mahomes and what he brings to the
Speaker 1: table as a passer, to turn away from that. But
Speaker 1: I agree with you that that would be the only
Speaker 1: thing that I think would bump him down. But even
Speaker 1: at that point, he's still I mean, he's gonna come
Speaker 1: down from you know, from the heavens to just still
Speaker 1: be at the number one spot right the gap there
Speaker 1: won't be enough to push him down past the number one.
Speaker 1: Looking at the twenty twenty one QB class, right, we
Speaker 1: know at this point the guys who were in it.
Speaker 1: We know of Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Zach Wilson, Trey Lands,
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, you've got Kyle Trash, Kellen mom later on,
Speaker 1: you know Davis Mills out of Stanford. You got these
Speaker 1: guys in here, right, So looking at our top fifteen,
Speaker 1: we didn't do the rookies within here. We still need
Speaker 1: to know the landing spot to be able to kind
Speaker 1: of definitively say okay, yes they could push or this
Speaker 1: is where they're gonna land. But let's just play this forward.
Speaker 1: Let's play a little exercise here, like Trevor Lawrence, Let's
Speaker 1: look at him first. If he does end up in Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: which again we talk about probability that it's one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty percent at this point, Yeah, he ends up there,
Speaker 1: where does he land with just gut feeling, where does
Speaker 1: he land in your QB rankings? He's top ten. I
Speaker 1: think he's top ten, or he's right there between Rogers
Speaker 1: and Hurts for me at QB eleven. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: want to go super crazy and say, like you know,
Speaker 1: I'm going to rank him above the Joe Burrows and
Speaker 1: the Dak Prescott's right where he's a top five guy
Speaker 1: right out of the gate. I'm not gonna go that far.
Speaker 1: But yet, absolutely top ten probably would put him just
Speaker 1: above Aaron Rodgers. Honestly, that's my gut reaction. Probably just
Speaker 1: be in that range. Let's look at justin fields now,
Speaker 1: justin fields from what he brings as a passer but
Speaker 1: then also as a mobile quarterback. We talked about this
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen and you know the other guys towards here,
Speaker 1: towards the top of a Dak Prescott, Deshaun Watson, Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: what they bring as far as their rushing ability. Justin
Speaker 1: Fields is going to bring that same level. Yeah, so Fields?
Speaker 1: Is he far off from Trevor Lawrence. Let's I mean again,
Speaker 1: gut feeling, we don't know his landing spot. This one's
Speaker 1: a little bit harder to predict. So gut feeling, where
Speaker 1: would he land for you? Gut feeling, just based off
Speaker 1: of what we talked about today, I'd take him over
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, so that would slot him right there at
Speaker 1: QB eleven. He's inside my top twelve. Yep. I think
Speaker 1: I would put him right above Jalen Hurts too, so
Speaker 1: probably at QB twelve. Gut feeling there, Let's go with
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson for me, Zach Wilson's is going to be
Speaker 1: outside my top fifteen. I've got him a little bit
Speaker 1: lower than these other guys we talked about that. I
Speaker 1: know you're you're on the same page there, so but again,
Speaker 1: would still be in that same range. I've got two
Speaker 1: at sixteen, and then I've got Kirk Cousins, Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: Jared Off, Tom Brady. Like the list gets pretty gross
Speaker 1: right after that. So Zach Wilson would probably be in
Speaker 1: that kirk Cousins territory right away, with the potential that
Speaker 1: he does move up, but I gotta he's one of
Speaker 1: those guys that I gotta see how he translates to
Speaker 1: the NFL before I move him up. Yeah. Same here,
Speaker 1: same here. And I'd actually have Trey Lance ahead of
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. Yeah, I do too. I've got Trey Lance
Speaker 1: actually as my QB two in this class. So Lance
Speaker 1: he would land in that same territory I would probably
Speaker 1: put him. I mean, I've got him pretty neck and
Speaker 1: neck with Trevor Lawrence as far as my grating and
Speaker 1: just outlook long term outlooks. So yeah, would probably be
Speaker 1: in that eleven ten range for me, just behind Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: Love it, love it, and and we're not leaving this
Speaker 1: until I make you talk about Mac Jones would be
Speaker 1: in that kirk Cousins territor where he'd be around Jared
Speaker 1: Goff kirk Cousins. Off the top of my head, around
Speaker 1: he'd be a top twenty quarterback for me off the bat. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: this is like landing spot for for Mac Jones. Matters.
Speaker 1: So much right, Like I'm not trying to cop out,
Speaker 1: I'm really not. But yet, for him, it's going to
Speaker 1: matter so much where he lands and what offense he's
Speaker 1: a part of, and who the playmakers around are around him.
Speaker 1: Like it's kind of the same thing with Tua, Like
Speaker 1: we're talking about two at sixteen. For me, well, if
Speaker 1: he had the playmakers around him, he might be top
Speaker 1: ten with mac Jones, I just don't know is he
Speaker 1: got what's the NFL's view of him. Is he gonna
Speaker 1: be in the first round? Is he? I mean, Mike
Speaker 1: Tannebaum's coming out and talking about him. The floor is
Speaker 1: number eight overall, Like I don't see that happening. But
Speaker 1: at that point, if he does go in the top eight,
Speaker 1: in the top ten, then okay, I've got to acknowledge it.
Speaker 1: I've got to acknowledge that the NFL was high on him,
Speaker 1: the situation's great around him, this, this, this, Then at
Speaker 1: that point, absolutely he lands in my top fifteen. Probably
Speaker 1: if he falls outside the first round, which is a
Speaker 1: very good possibility, then at that point he's not probably
Speaker 1: not going to crack my top twenty because he might
Speaker 1: not even be the starter on his team. So really,
Speaker 1: don't want to like cop out there, but this is
Speaker 1: one of the players where I gotta know the landing
Speaker 1: spot before I definitively say this is where I land
Speaker 1: on mac Jones. That's fair, that's fair. I think landing
Speaker 1: spot does matter for mac Jones in the situation that
Speaker 1: he falls into. I do believe he's going to be
Speaker 1: a top fifteen pick in the NFL draft, and you
Speaker 1: know when that happens. If and when that happens, then
Speaker 1: I think, well, a lot of people, and it's not
Speaker 1: just you, a lot of people will have to revisit
Speaker 1: that because he's going to get an opportunity to start
Speaker 1: if he's drafted that high, and you know, starting quarterbacks absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know you need those guys. But I think that's
Speaker 1: fair right now. Yeah, And it's with the other guys,
Speaker 1: the top four that we talked about, I don't have
Speaker 1: that concern. I know definitively that they're going in the
Speaker 1: top ten right, and they're going to be starters sooner
Speaker 1: rather than later. If unless one of them lands that
Speaker 1: Atlanta at number four right and sits behind Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: then of course we'll adjust then. But again, this was
Speaker 1: just an exercise to say the gut feeling, what's the
Speaker 1: overall view of these guys in the class, And we'll
Speaker 1: do that again next year. Right at this time next year,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Dynasty QB rankings and talk about
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two class to be able to give
Speaker 1: you kind of a a glimpse at the overall strength
Speaker 1: of the class and how they would slide in with
Speaker 1: the current quarterbacks rankings in Dynasty. All right, that's gonna
Speaker 1: be it for today. Again, a huge thank you to
