Speaker 1: always a good day to talk Dynasty, so I'm happy
Speaker 1: to be here with you. We are going to go
Speaker 1: through some news items that broke, of course, not nothing
Speaker 1: as extensive as what we did last episode, going over
Speaker 1: a week's worth of news anything like that. But we've
Speaker 1: got something fun on the docket for tonight that is
Speaker 1: a one round super flex rookie mock draft. Now, we
Speaker 1: did a rookie mock draft just last week. I think
Speaker 1: that was a one QB format, So this one, now,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get some quarterbacks going. We're gonna see how
Speaker 1: many we can get going in the first round. We'll
Speaker 1: be walking through that in just a little bit. But
Speaker 1: then we're also going to be taken a look at
Speaker 1: some players that you should sell now before it's too
Speaker 1: late in Dynasty. So of course we're gonna be talking
Speaker 1: about that later on, but first want to mention that
Speaker 1: you can find right on Twitter at RAYGQ. That's que
Speaker 1: and I can be found on Twitter as well at
Speaker 1: Kyle why NFL. Now, since we have a mock draft

Speaker 1: the Apple App Store or Google Play. All right, man,
Speaker 1: So some news items that broke Kenny Galladay expected to
Speaker 1: be franchise tagged per Ian Rappaport. Now, we talked about
Speaker 1: Kenny Galladay on the last episode, which is a free
Speaker 1: agency primer and saying, you know, if he does hit
Speaker 1: the open market, here are some destinations. Well, it looks
Speaker 1: like he is going to be franchise tagged. Of course,
Speaker 1: we'll wait for the official word there. But Kenny Galladay,
Speaker 1: now with Tyrol Williams, also agreed to a one year
Speaker 1: deal six point two million dollars with the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: So if Kenny Galladay's back, if Tyrol Williams is back,
Speaker 1: and then quintas cefists they spend an early round pick
Speaker 1: on a wide receiver, Well suddenly that's not looking like
Speaker 1: such a bat of a wide receiver corp for Jared
Speaker 1: Goff next season. Yeah, I mean, you know he's gonna
Speaker 1: have weapons, and then you got Hockinson, you got DeAndre
Speaker 1: Swift in the backfield. I know a lot of people
Speaker 1: are not the biggest golf fans, but you know he's
Speaker 1: going to be the starting quarterback and he's going to
Speaker 1: have some weapons there in Detroit. Absolutely, David Johnson and
Speaker 1: the Texans have agreed to restructure deal. Now this was
Speaker 1: crucial with of course just a salary cap in general,
Speaker 1: but then David Johnson for the amount of production that
Speaker 1: he had last season, his age, everything like that, it
Speaker 1: was a pretty inflated contract. So the Texans have agreed
Speaker 1: to restructure that deal. David Johnson will be back in
Speaker 1: Houston next season. Now who's going to be his quarterback
Speaker 1: is another whole other question that will drastically affect his
Speaker 1: fantasy output. The Vikings. The Minnesota Vikings have released Kyle Rudolph.
Speaker 1: Now Kyle Rudolph has been with the Minnesota Vikings for
Speaker 1: the past ten seasons. I think it was something crazy
Speaker 1: like that. Well, there's a young tight end sitting behind
Speaker 1: him that when he's gotten the opportunity, he's flashed, and
Speaker 1: that's IRV Smith. So from a dynasty perspective, now know
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph above him on the depth chart, what does
Speaker 1: this do for IRV Smith's dynasty stock? This has got
Speaker 1: to elevate him. I mean, when you're talking about the
Speaker 1: tight end landscape overall, it's not you know, it isn't
Speaker 1: super deep in the first place. So I would actually,
Speaker 1: you know, slide IRV Smith up a couple of spots.
Speaker 1: You know, I'd love me some Robert Tonyan, but he'd
Speaker 1: be over Tanyan, he'd be over Evan Ingraham Gisecki, and
Speaker 1: then that Hunter Henry Dallas got it range for me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's I mean, that's crazy high right talking
Speaker 1: about you saying over Robert Tonyan, like, I completely agree.
Speaker 1: And in that range of a Dallas, Goddard and Hunter Henry, well,
Speaker 1: that's still a very, very fantasy viable option compared to
Speaker 1: what he has been. Now, the Minnesota Vikings are going
Speaker 1: to run heavy twelve personnel. There's going to be two
Speaker 1: tight ends on the field. So whether that is Tyler
Speaker 1: Conklin or whether they bring someone else in the draft
Speaker 1: or whatever, but I do expect that if earth Smith
Speaker 1: gets this opportunity to be the main guy, which it
Speaker 1: is looking like that's the case, then it's wheels up, man.
Speaker 1: I think a top ten, top twelve for sure, dynasty
Speaker 1: tight end moving forward. Additionally, Jared Cook has been officially
Speaker 1: released by the Saints. Now, Jared Cook was heading towards
Speaker 1: free agency anyway, but this is just kind of first semantics.
Speaker 1: He's officially gone from the team. I would expect him
Speaker 1: to retire at this point, whether he signed his dynasty
Speaker 1: outlook and you know, fantasy relevance I think is just
Speaker 1: it's done. But I want to talk about Adam Troutman
Speaker 1: here backup tight end out of what was he Dayton
Speaker 1: last year? Yeah, Adam Troutman was someone who flash, certainly
Speaker 1: on film. Now he needed a year to kind of acclimate.
Speaker 1: Of course, rookie tight ends always need that year to
Speaker 1: acclimate to the NFL, but him coming out of Dayton
Speaker 1: needed that even more flash when he got the opportunity.
Speaker 1: What does this do now for Adam Trautman. Are we
Speaker 1: putting him all the way up there with r Smith
Speaker 1: or is he in a lower tier? Now he's in
Speaker 1: a lower tier. But I'll tell you this, I think
Speaker 1: he's tremendously talented in in you know, small spurts lash year,
Speaker 1: very small, very small sample size. He looked good when
Speaker 1: he was on the field, and I believe we talked
Speaker 1: about Jared Cook on the last show, Yate, So this
Speaker 1: is what we were kind of hoping for, and now
Speaker 1: he should roll into the season as the starting tight
Speaker 1: end for the Saints. It's a good offense regardless of
Speaker 1: who's playing quarterback. Well maybe not regardless if it's Taysom Hill.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that affects anybody, but I think
Speaker 1: this is good for Adam Trautman. He's not in the
Speaker 1: IRV Smith range. I would still have, you know, Robert
Speaker 1: Tonyan ranked ahead of him, but you know, I think
Speaker 1: he's he's right there with some of those higher end,
Speaker 1: second tier rookie tight ends and that you know in
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen range. Yeah, I think that. I definitely don't
Speaker 1: want to have Adam Trautman as like my tight end
Speaker 1: one heading in the next season in my dynasty league,
Speaker 1: but yet as a tight end two, tight end three
Speaker 1: on my roster. I'm really excited for him moving forward
Speaker 1: because he does have the talent. Now it's looking like
Speaker 1: he's going to get the opportunity. Additionally, the Giants released
Speaker 1: Golden Tate, so Golden Tate no longer remember of the
Speaker 1: New York Giants. They've got a wide receiver opening there
Speaker 1: in New York. Now, are they going to spend an
Speaker 1: early pick on that, you know, is DeVante Smith Jalen
Speaker 1: Waddle at number eleven overall in the Cards or did
Speaker 1: they add someone else later on in the draft. But
Speaker 1: we're going to see someone step in to that slot
Speaker 1: role in New York next season. And then finally wrapping
Speaker 1: it up here Russell Wilson. This came out earlier today
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is not actively being shopped, but Seattle has
Speaker 1: answered calls. So Ray even Monday, right, we recorded that
Speaker 1: last episode on Monday, and we were talking about what's
Speaker 1: the percentage chance of either you know, who gets traded
Speaker 1: first or was it Deshaun Watson or Russell Wilson. It's
Speaker 1: looking like it's a ninety percent chance at this point
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson is not playing in Seattle next year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think when we dive into this show a
Speaker 1: little bit deeper, I maybe bringing up one Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: in a segment of our show and I'll leave it
Speaker 1: at that, all right, All right, there's a teaser for later.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's get into a super flex rookie
Speaker 1: mock draft. Now. Super flex for those who are unfamiliar,
Speaker 1: and again we wanted to talk about when we set
Speaker 1: out to do this podcast, we want to talk to
Speaker 1: all people that are playing Dynasty, right, whether you are
Speaker 1: just joining Dynasty for the first time or you've been
Speaker 1: playing forever. So super flex is where you have one
Speaker 1: quarterback locked in and then you have a flex spot
Speaker 1: that is the super flex spot right where you're able
Speaker 1: to start another quarterback. But you're not locked into one.
Speaker 1: That would be a two QB league, so you can
Speaker 1: certainly start a running back wide receiver there. But in
Speaker 1: a super flex format with quarterbacks, you typically start two quarterbacks, right,
Speaker 1: So this put this is drastically changes the mock draft
Speaker 1: in the order of these plays from what we did
Speaker 1: on our rookie mock draft a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: In a one QB format, you're not gonna see I
Speaker 1: don't think we even put a quarterback in the first round.
Speaker 1: I don't think Trevor Lawrence even made it in there.
Speaker 1: So this one drastically different. This pushes the price and
Speaker 1: the value of quarterbacks way up. So let's start it
Speaker 1: out here. We're going to switch up the order from
Speaker 1: what we did last time. I have the one on
Speaker 1: one in a super flex league, man, I'm taking quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: I'm holding quarterbacks if I'm playing in a superflex league,
Speaker 1: and if I've got the one on one, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take the QB one. In this class, there are people
Speaker 1: that have Zach Wilson above Trevor Lawrence and Kellen Mond
Speaker 1: and that's a whole other situation. We'll just leave it
Speaker 1: at that. But no, I'm taking Trevor Lawrence here at
Speaker 1: the one on one. I'm not gonna waiver off of
Speaker 1: this one, man, I'm gonna stay put it. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take Trevor Lawrence to add to my dynasty roster. That
Speaker 1: assuming that I'm picking out the one on one needs
Speaker 1: a lot of help. Yeah. I thought you, I thought
Speaker 1: you were going to go in a different direction. But
Speaker 1: you you heild the course. You did the right thing here, Yates.
Speaker 1: And I think Trevor Lawrence is a good is a
Speaker 1: solid selection. I mean he is in my opinion in
Speaker 1: super flex formats. I know there's these, you know, different
Speaker 1: takes that if you don't have to take a quarterback
Speaker 1: with the first pick, but I just think that would
Speaker 1: be a mistake in this situation. So Trevor Lawrence is
Speaker 1: the one on one in super flex should be ninety
Speaker 1: nine point nine percent of the time. Yeah. No, I
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you a question before we move off
Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence here really quick now, in a startup
Speaker 1: super flex draft, where are we looking at Trevor Lawrence?
Speaker 1: Is he in the first round conversation in a startup
Speaker 1: in a super flex league or because I got the
Speaker 1: question earlier, on Twitter today, like, if you can have
Speaker 1: the ability in your startup to draft draft picks right
Speaker 1: rather than the actual player, if you draft the one
Speaker 1: on one in your rookie draft or whatever, that's the
Speaker 1: same thing. It's gonna be Trevor Lawrence pretty much across
Speaker 1: the board. Where is he? Where should he go? Is
Speaker 1: really the question that I want to ask you, Yates.
Speaker 1: I'm in two super flex dynasty startup drafts, not mock drafts,
Speaker 1: legitimate drafts for money right now, and Trevor Lawrence did
Speaker 1: not fall past the one oh eight in either of
Speaker 1: those drafts. He went one oh five and one and
Speaker 1: one oh eight in the other drafts. So yeah, that's
Speaker 1: where he's going. I don't think I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: be a first round pick, and I know, much the
Speaker 1: chagrin of a lot he went ahead of players like
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and Russell Wilson and Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: So I've seen him go as high as one oh
Speaker 1: five and as late as one o eight in two
Speaker 1: current dynasty startups that I'm in right now. That's crazy, man.
Speaker 1: For me, that's a little bit too rich. I'd probably
Speaker 1: like to have him as my QB two. I want
Speaker 1: that more proven veteran commodity as my QB one. But
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's going there, that's pushing a veteran
Speaker 1: QB down at the next turn, I could get another
Speaker 1: solid quarterback to be by QB two at that point.
Speaker 1: So all right, anyway, so now the one oh two
Speaker 1: here Europe, are we going Zach Wilson? Are we going
Speaker 1: another quarterback? Or are we gonna go Naji Harris? What
Speaker 1: about mac Jones? You didn't even mention? So sorry, man
Speaker 1: mac Jones at the one h two, and let me
Speaker 1: write that down, all right, No, no, no, no, I
Speaker 1: can't steer. I love me some mac Jones, but I
Speaker 1: wouldn't dare steer the people, the good people that listen
Speaker 1: to the show in the wrong direction here and for
Speaker 1: me at the one o two with Trevor Lawrence off
Speaker 1: of the board, my quarterback too. I know that he's
Speaker 1: taken a lot of heat on the Twitter for whatever
Speaker 1: reason right now, but I am not wavering in my
Speaker 1: conviction and I am going to go Justin Fields, quarterback
Speaker 1: out of Ohio State, the dual threat quarterback, just phenomenal game.
Speaker 1: I'm a game of the ages. Versus Clemson in the
Speaker 1: semifinal game, literally one of the best college quarterback performances
Speaker 1: of all time. I'm a big believer in his talent,
Speaker 1: and by all NFL Marck Draft. You know, analysts, they're
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna fall down the board. And you know what,
Speaker 1: the last time we saw a talented quarterback that had
Speaker 1: dual threat capability fall down the board, we ended up
Speaker 1: with Lamarch Jackson too, the Raven. So give me Justin
Speaker 1: Fields at the one out two and I'm not thinking
Speaker 1: twice about it. No, and especially for fantasy football, when
Speaker 1: you talk about Justin Fields rushing capability and how valuable
Speaker 1: that is, I mean, not only is he just like
Speaker 1: you talked about Lamar Jackson falling all the way to
Speaker 1: thirty two right in Baltimore, trading back up into the
Speaker 1: first round to get him, I mean, Justin Fields is
Speaker 1: so much better of a passer in my opinion, than
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson coming out of Louisville. So I think Justin
Speaker 1: Fields at this point, I am perfectly fine taking him
Speaker 1: at the one out two. I still think that he's
Speaker 1: in the I think there's a tier gap right where
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is my QB three. Now I'm going to
Speaker 1: take my QB two here at the one h three
Speaker 1: because again we talk about the rushing ability and how
Speaker 1: valuable that is, and I just wanted to mention that
Speaker 1: from the perspective of what Justin Fields can do on
Speaker 1: the field as a rusher, but then also what he
Speaker 1: can do through the air, has the ability to send
Speaker 1: it all over the field can end of an arm.
Speaker 1: So really really love this pick. I'm gonna I mention it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna my QB two here, and that is Trey Lance. Now,
Speaker 1: Trey Lance is getting crept on is just as much
Speaker 1: as Justin Fields, and I really do not understand why
Speaker 1: when we look at Trey Lance, not only does he
Speaker 1: have I think as soon as he touches the NFL
Speaker 1: football field for whatever team, he's going to have the
Speaker 1: type of arm that is immediately in the conversation of
Speaker 1: a Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen if you watch his tape,
Speaker 1: he can send it sixty plus yards down the field
Speaker 1: on a freaking rope, but then also has the ability
Speaker 1: to stripe it in sideline to sideline. Not only that,
Speaker 1: he is an incredible runner, like you are going whatever
Speaker 1: team takes him is going to design QB runs every
Speaker 1: single week. Now. I don't think it's going to be
Speaker 1: to the level of Lamar Jackson or I mean Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts and what he did as a scrambler, right, but
Speaker 1: Trey Lance and what he can do on the ground
Speaker 1: is extremely, extremely valuable, mirrored with what he can do
Speaker 1: as a passer. So even if he ends up sitting
Speaker 1: or ends up like being drafted behind another QB that
Speaker 1: he'll be in competition with let's just say Carolina, right
Speaker 1: with Teddy Bridgewater. I think they enter into training camp
Speaker 1: and Trey Lance is going to push him right away,
Speaker 1: and I think Trey Lanz will see the field sooner
Speaker 1: than later. So it's obviously going to depend on where
Speaker 1: he ends up in the NFL draft that will dictate
Speaker 1: where exactly he goes. But as of right now, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stay true to my board and I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: Trey Lance here at the one oh three. Man. I
Speaker 1: love it, Yates, and I'm on record of saying I
Speaker 1: believe he has the strongest arm in the class. I
Speaker 1: really do. I think he's got a stronger arm than
Speaker 1: Fields and Lawrence and Wilson. He's got an absolute cannon
Speaker 1: attached to a shoulder. One of the criticisms that I
Speaker 1: had of Trey Lance when going through his film in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen was taken a little off of it on
Speaker 1: those intermediate passes, right, he is rifling that thing. But
Speaker 1: you know what, that's easy. Things that can be coached.
Speaker 1: I think he's the best running quarterback in this class.
Speaker 1: I think he's a better rushing quarterback than Justin Field's.
Speaker 1: The only thing that's stopping me from having Lance over
Speaker 1: fields is just the level of competition for me, and
Speaker 1: maybe the acclamation period. But you know what, that's again,
Speaker 1: that's super Nitpicky's super subjective, and it may not be
Speaker 1: an issue at all. And he's six foot four, two
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty pounds, and he is, again, the best
Speaker 1: rushing quarterback in this class. He's a thickly built kid.
Speaker 1: He can make every single throw he is. I mean,
Speaker 1: the only thing that we need to see from Trey
Speaker 1: Lance is just his ability to adapt from the FCS
Speaker 1: level to the NFL game. But you know what, every
Speaker 1: last one of these quarterbacks, from Trevor Lawrence to Mac
Speaker 1: Jones to Zach Wilson, they're all going to have to
Speaker 1: adjust to the NFL game, and you know Trey Lance
Speaker 1: is special. Yeah, I mean really, And the thing to
Speaker 1: keep in mind when you're watching his twenty nineteen tape,
Speaker 1: which is just spectacular. By the way, when you sit
Speaker 1: down and watch and look at his numbers, two I think,
Speaker 1: off the top of my head, twenty eight touchdowns, zero
Speaker 1: interceptions added, like eleven hundred yards on the ground too,
Speaker 1: and another fourteen touchdowns. Again, that's all off the top
Speaker 1: of my head. I could be wrong, but just ridiculous production.
Speaker 1: He's nineteen years old when he's doing that. Now, the
Speaker 1: game that he played in twenty twenty against Central Arkansas,
Speaker 1: it's not great. Like I'm the biggest Trey Lance supporter
Speaker 1: out there, I guess, so I guess like I will.
Speaker 1: I'll be perfectly willing to admit that that twenty twenty
Speaker 1: tape is not good. But you have to take into
Speaker 1: account that that was their only game and in a weird,
Speaker 1: super crazy season, and who knows how much practice the
Speaker 1: time they got, and how rusty he was everything. I'm
Speaker 1: not willing to take too much take that too much
Speaker 1: into account. Now you talk about the Justin fields and
Speaker 1: what he did in the college football playoffs. Absolutely. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mentioned I'm perfectly fine with taking him at the
Speaker 1: one h two, but I don't want to let Trey
Speaker 1: Lance fall too far down boards taking him here at
Speaker 1: the one oh three. Now you're up at the one
Speaker 1: oh four. Are we going to go four for four
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks here or do we start to see some
Speaker 1: of the skill positions go off the board? We are not.
Speaker 1: We are going to pivot to the number one player
Speaker 1: on my board in single quarterbacks, and he's the highest
Speaker 1: rank got left for me, and that's running back Naja Harris.
Speaker 1: So I got him in the single quarterback market. I'm
Speaker 1: really happy to grab him right here at the one
Speaker 1: oh four. I mean, just a special running back, you guys,
Speaker 1: he's a professional runner. I think he's got the highest likelihood.
Speaker 1: If there is going to be a running back drafted
Speaker 1: in the first round of the NFL Draft, I do
Speaker 1: believe it's going to be Najy Harris. And if he's
Speaker 1: not taken in the first round, you better bet a
Speaker 1: bottom dollar he'll be coming off real early in the
Speaker 1: second round. Can catch them. While of the backfield size
Speaker 1: to be a traditional bell cow, just a phenomenal, phenomenal player.
Speaker 1: Completely agree, and I love taking him here at the
Speaker 1: one oh four because that is tremendous value. If you're
Speaker 1: a team that's sitting at the one oh four, you
Speaker 1: probably have your quarterbacks in place right like, and at
Speaker 1: that point you're just looking to reload heading into next season.
Speaker 1: You get Najy Harris, who can be I think an
Speaker 1: RB one in fantasy, not only just like two years,
Speaker 1: don't know, like next season. I think that absolutely landing
Speaker 1: spot will play a role in that, of course, yet
Speaker 1: I think he has the talent to be that right
Speaker 1: out of the gate. Now one oh five, I'm sitting
Speaker 1: here and I've got on my board in super flex leagues,
Speaker 1: I've got a player up here at the top of
Speaker 1: my board, I'm looking at the quarterback position with Zach Wilson.
Speaker 1: He's a little bit further down. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: reach from my quarterback here. I don't know where what
Speaker 1: your thoughts are on Zach Wilson. I'm sure we'll talk
Speaker 1: about him here in the first round, but I'm going
Speaker 1: to stay true to my board. I'm going to take
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, the wide receiver out of LSU, and we've
Speaker 1: talked about him on previous podcasts. But for everything that
Speaker 1: we talk about Justin Jefferson and what he did in
Speaker 1: his rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings, like, it's really
Speaker 1: important to remember that Jamar Chase outproduced Justin Jefferson in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Now he opted out of the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: college football season to you know, just for COVID reasons
Speaker 1: and everything like that, and just to prep and prepare
Speaker 1: for the NFL draft. If he had played in twenty twenty, now,
Speaker 1: the team wasn't as great, of course, but yet I
Speaker 1: still think that we would have just no questions. Lock
Speaker 1: it in. Jamar Chase is a top five nf FELL
Speaker 1: draft pick. He needs to be considered a top five
Speaker 1: draft pick, and rookie mocks across the board regardless of format.
Speaker 1: So Jamar Chase here one oh six, I feel really
Speaker 1: happy or one oh five. Excuse me, I feel really
Speaker 1: happy to get him off the board. Did you see
Speaker 1: the picture? Did you happen to see the picture of
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Devanta Smith They were kind
Speaker 1: of standing after a workout together. Did you happen to
Speaker 1: see that picture, Yates, I have not seen that. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, he Chase is built like, he looks like
Speaker 1: a safety like he looks like Is this on the
Speaker 1: level of the DK Metcalf and AJ Brown picture from
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. No, because Smith and Jefferson
Speaker 1: don't come close to what AJ Brown looked like. But
Speaker 1: when you look at Chase, I mean literally, he just
Speaker 1: he's just He's just a ball of muscle. And you know,
Speaker 1: I have made adjustments to my rankings. I have two
Speaker 1: wide receivers at the wide receiver one spot. Jamar Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase is one of the players. And the guy that
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take right here at the one oh five,
Speaker 1: at the one oh six spot is tied for me
Speaker 1: at wide receiver one in this class, and that's DeVante Smith,
Speaker 1: the wide receiver out of Alabama, Randing Heisman Trophy winner.
Speaker 1: For as great as as Jamar Chase was in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: and you just talked about how good he was and
Speaker 1: how good Justin Jefferson was, DeVonta Smith outproduced him in
Speaker 1: one less game and without the weaponry around him, without
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, in a sixty touchdown season, the greatest college
Speaker 1: quarterback season of all time, without Clyde Edwards Elair Well,
Speaker 1: he had Naji Harris, so let me let me correct that,
Speaker 1: but you get what I'm saying. He did not have
Speaker 1: all of that talent around him, and he he outproduced
Speaker 1: and broke every single record that Jamar Chase set in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. I think Smithy is a phenomenal pro prospect.
Speaker 1: I think fit three of my calves inside of Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase's calves. Did you see it? You saw? I saw.
Speaker 1: I just looked it up. Oh my word, dude, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's Yeah. For those of you who haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: just paused the show and just type in Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: picture like it's phenomenal. But I'm gonna take saw a
Speaker 1: second wide receiver one, DeVante Smith Is I head over
Speaker 1: to Twitter during the show to look at that picture myself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no no hesitation here to take Davante Smith. I mean
Speaker 1: all three of these receivers that we're going to talk about,
Speaker 1: as far as Jamartes, DeVante Smith, and Jalen Waddle, all
Speaker 1: three of them have the chance to be very very special.
Speaker 1: I think it's split in Harris when we're talking about
Speaker 1: which one of them is wide receiver one or what
Speaker 1: order we have them. I don't care like all three
Speaker 1: of them are going to be just fantastic in the NFL.
Speaker 1: So absolutely DeVante Smith off the board. So just to
Speaker 1: recap Trevor Lawrence at the one oh one, Justin Fields
Speaker 1: at the one oh two, Trey Lance, Naji Harris, Jamar Chase,
Speaker 1: and then Davante Smith. Before we keep moving with today's episode,
Speaker 1: I want to take a second to tell you about
Speaker 1: Reality Sports Online. If you've been listening to this podcast
Speaker 1: for any length of time, you already know about Reality
Speaker 1: Sports Online, the powerful fantasy sports platform where owners get
Speaker 1: to build and manage their fantasy team like an NFL
Speaker 1: general manager. But the question is have you tried it?
Speaker 1: It's time to go see what all the buzz in
Speaker 1: the dynasty community is about. Everything from free agency, multi
Speaker 1: year contracts, franchise tag contract extensions, first round rookie options,
Speaker 1: are rookie draft, automated contract and salary cap functionality, and
Speaker 1: so much more can be found at Reality Sports Online.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, it's not as complicated as it sounds.
Speaker 1: The best thing about Reality Sports online Fantasy front office
Speaker 1: is that it doesn't take any more time than a
Speaker 1: standard league. It just requires more strategy do you think
Speaker 1: you're among the fantasy elite, Well, this is the platform
Speaker 1: to test it out. Still not sure. You can test
Speaker 1: out your general manager skills for free in a mock
Speaker 1: free agency auction. I tried one earlier today. It was

Speaker 1: Sports online dot Com. Now at the one oh seven,
Speaker 1: I think this is a little bit of a slide
Speaker 1: here compared to especially for people who have Zach Wilson
Speaker 1: ranked above the other three guys that we've got. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the quarterback here, even though I'm sitting at
Speaker 1: the one oh seven. I've got a pretty good team,
Speaker 1: you know, probably was in the playoffs or at least
Speaker 1: pushing for it. Got a pretty solid team, you know what.
Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure that I at least continue
Speaker 1: to soak up value, and for me, I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. Now. I don't I think there are reasons
Speaker 1: to be concerned with Zach Wilson. I think there are
Speaker 1: things that he definitely has to work on. There is
Speaker 1: a ton of projection to his game, especially when you
Speaker 1: take into account for everything that we talk about Trey
Speaker 1: Lance and the talent level concerns and all this that
Speaker 1: was there with Zach Wilson playing BYU like the talent
Speaker 1: level and the play the teams that he played this
Speaker 1: past season wasn't exactly like he was playing in Alabama,
Speaker 1: Georgia and Florida. Defense is an SEC competition every single week,
Speaker 1: so I think there are reasons to be concerned. But
Speaker 1: yet this is enough of a slide and enough value
Speaker 1: for me to take Zach Wilson, especially if the NFL
Speaker 1: does see him as a top three NFL draft pick,
Speaker 1: potentially even pushing the one oh one, which I completely
Speaker 1: disagree with, But at that point, this is enough of
Speaker 1: a slide for me. I'm going to take Zach Wilson
Speaker 1: at the one oh seven. Yeah, And I you know,
Speaker 1: I think this is what's going to happen, and honestly,
Speaker 1: in super flex leagues, in certain dynasty leagues, I can
Speaker 1: see Zach Wilson going ahead of Demonta Smith because it
Speaker 1: seems like he has this cult following around him right now,
Speaker 1: and if he's selected number two overall to the New
Speaker 1: York Jets. Listen, I could see Zach Wilson in certain
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues going as high as the one on two spot,
Speaker 1: right after Trevor Lawrence. And yeah, you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm just not there. I understand that he has all
Speaker 1: the armed talent in the world, but who what most
Speaker 1: nf FEL prospect quarterbacks do, right, Like most of these
Speaker 1: guys do have armed talent. I just I think that
Speaker 1: I think this is good value for Zach Wilson, but
Speaker 1: for me personally, I'm just I'm not there with him.
Speaker 1: I have him as quarterback five. I like Mac Jones
Speaker 1: ahead of Zach Wilson, not by much, but you know,
Speaker 1: this is what's gonna happen, and it's gonna push that
Speaker 1: value down. And right here at the one oh eight spot,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna take the most dominant player I
Speaker 1: believe at his position in this entire class. I think
Speaker 1: you can kind of argue quarterback ones. You can argue
Speaker 1: the running backs, you can argue the wide receivers. I
Speaker 1: don't think you can argue who the best tight end
Speaker 1: in this class is. And I'm gonna take Kyle Pits,
Speaker 1: right here at the one o eight spot. You know,
Speaker 1: I've seen him go as high as like one oh four,
Speaker 1: like or you know, one oh five. I think that's
Speaker 1: a little too rich for my taste for the tight
Speaker 1: end position. But here in the middle, towards the back
Speaker 1: half of the first round, I have no problem taking
Speaker 1: what I believe is the top Dynasty tight end here
Speaker 1: at the one o eight. Yeah. I just released my
Speaker 1: Dynasty big board one point zero on Fantasy Pros earlier
Speaker 1: this week, and part of my system is assigning the
Speaker 1: grades based on tape, and then I'll go in and
Speaker 1: calculate and kind of depress certain positions, of course, and
Speaker 1: elevate the running back position because of the importance of
Speaker 1: it in fantasy football and all this stuff. And even
Speaker 1: with depressing or decreasing the value of the tight end position,
Speaker 1: with Kyle Pitts's grade, he was still like number three
Speaker 1: overall on my big board, right, So, but again that's
Speaker 1: in consideration, Like, you don't have to draft Kyle Pitts there.
Speaker 1: That's just telling you that this is the talent level
Speaker 1: that we're dealing with. With Pitts entering the NFL, I
Speaker 1: think whatever offense takes him within the top fifteen NFL
Speaker 1: draft picks is going to have a clear plan for him,
Speaker 1: whether that is lining him out, lining him out wide.
Speaker 1: We've compared him to Calvin Johnson, and I think those
Speaker 1: comparisons are fair. Like he can play on the outside
Speaker 1: and have that level of impact, or he can line
Speaker 1: up on the inside you attached the formation and be
Speaker 1: a competent blocker, but then run seam routes and overs
Speaker 1: and there, I mean everything. He can just be a
Speaker 1: true three level threat. So really excited about Kyle Pitts.
Speaker 1: I think this is good value for him at the
Speaker 1: one oweight. Now I'm looking at the board. I've got
Speaker 1: a couple of options here. I could go running back.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of running backs that are sitting on
Speaker 1: the board, and I think that I'm going to elevate
Speaker 1: that position over the wide receiver position, even though I
Speaker 1: do like Jalen Waddle a lot. And again I talked
Speaker 1: about it with Jamar Chason, Davanta Smith. I'm fine with
Speaker 1: any of those guys I'm gonna take here. Javontae Williams,
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna be I hedged, and I
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna get them. Damn you, Yates. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that for me, Travis Etn, the difference between
Speaker 1: Etn and Javonte Williams is pretty damn close in my
Speaker 1: rankings here, So I'm fine with either one of these guys.
Speaker 1: Flip a coin. It's gonna depend on their landing spot
Speaker 1: which one goes higher in the NFL Draft. That'll kind
Speaker 1: of split that tie. But for right now, I'm going
Speaker 1: to switch it up just a little bit here and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Javonta Williams. Bowling ball of a prospect
Speaker 1: is how we've described him. Incredible contact balance, contact balance,
Speaker 1: incredible vision between the tackles, able to be a receiver
Speaker 1: out of the backfield as well, so has the ability
Speaker 1: to be a three down workhorse in the NFL. Great
Speaker 1: size for the position. So I think Javonte Williams, whatever
Speaker 1: team NFL team gets him in the second or maybe
Speaker 1: even the third round, just because of the running back
Speaker 1: position and how it's valued, is getting an absolute steal.
Speaker 1: And I think that he's going to be a two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty you know, plus touch player a season,
Speaker 1: and if that's the case, getting him here at the
Speaker 1: one O nine is great value. You know, normally you
Speaker 1: know during these exercises that they're just for fun, and
Speaker 1: you know you don't take it too seriously. But I'm
Speaker 1: pretty upset right now because I really did hedge thinking
Speaker 1: that I'd be able to grab Javonte Williams with my
Speaker 1: next pick, because I thought for sure. I thought for
Speaker 1: sure you were going for shot Bateman. I was just like,
Speaker 1: I know, Yates, I I gotta keep in. I gotta
Speaker 1: keep you on your toes. Man. I'm not happy about this,
Speaker 1: and I'm in a conundrum right here because my my,
Speaker 1: my heart, my heart wants to go with one of
Speaker 1: my favorite players in this class, which is Rondel Moore.
Speaker 1: That's what I want to do, right But the wide
Speaker 1: receiver position is so deep, it's so deep, and the
Speaker 1: running back position is not so deep. It is very shallow.
Speaker 1: It is kitty level pool depth of waters. So I
Speaker 1: have to take the running back. He's a Tier one
Speaker 1: running back prospect for me. He is behind Javanta Williams
Speaker 1: and Naja Harris clearly, but Travis et And is still
Speaker 1: a talented player. He's still a phenomenal prospect. Exceptional acceleration
Speaker 1: and speed, great contact balance, catch the ball out of the
Speaker 1: the backfield, and I do believe he's gonna get Day
Speaker 1: two draft capital at worst, and I'm talking second round.
Speaker 1: So right here at the one ten spot, if you're
Speaker 1: telling me I get Travis et In on my team,
Speaker 1: signed me up, baby, I'm all for it. Yeah. We've
Speaker 1: talked about each ten before and saying that I don't
Speaker 1: think that he has the potential to be a like
Speaker 1: you know, you're going to give him a Derek Henry
Speaker 1: or a Dalvin Cook type workload on the ground, but
Speaker 1: his receiving ability has improved drastically over his college career
Speaker 1: and he has become an extremely reliable receiver out of
Speaker 1: the backfield. So he has the potential to have And
Speaker 1: again I'm not comparing him to Alvin Kamara, but saying
Speaker 1: that type of impact for fantasy football, that's someone who
Speaker 1: I think that type of workload right as far as
Speaker 1: the receiver out of the backfield can be heavily targeted,
Speaker 1: also receives some work on the ground, you know, each game.
Speaker 1: But I think that's what Travis Etn can be. So
Speaker 1: one ten here we're starting to see and this is
Speaker 1: the fun in doing these super flex formats in different
Speaker 1: rookie mocks. Because for people who haven't played super Flex yet,
Speaker 1: you can see how different this plays out compared to
Speaker 1: your one QB league's, your typical leagues. Right, you were
Speaker 1: seeing You're seeing Najihiris Goo at the one on one
Speaker 1: in one leg, Travis Etn at the one oh three.
Speaker 1: You know, Javonte Williams is the one oh four. Like,
Speaker 1: these guys are falling, and I'm looking at the last
Speaker 1: two spots here, Ray, We're gonna have some really talented
Speaker 1: players fall outside of the first round that we're not
Speaker 1: even gonna be able to talk about here tonight. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna it's a tough decision here for me to say.
Speaker 1: Looking at the one to eleven where I've got you know,
Speaker 1: we talked about Rashad Bateman, I mean ron Dale Moore,
Speaker 1: for sure, I do I elevate the running back position
Speaker 1: and look at a guy like Kenneth Gainwell who has
Speaker 1: the potential to be just a monster in terms of
Speaker 1: PPR formats and a receiver out of the backfield. But
Speaker 1: I can't pass up Jalen Waddle and let him get
Speaker 1: to you at the one twelve right, and again staying
Speaker 1: true to my board, looking at my rankings, Waddle has
Speaker 1: to go off the board here for me, so he
Speaker 1: has to get inside the first round. I think that
Speaker 1: he should go way higher than this, but again, looking
Speaker 1: at the board and who we selected, it's just hard
Speaker 1: to find a spot for him. So Jalen Waddle at
Speaker 1: the one to eleven, man, I'm if I'm a competing team,
Speaker 1: and obviously I was in you know, if I have
Speaker 1: the one eleven and that's my pick, you know, like
Speaker 1: I was in the championship. I came super close to
Speaker 1: winning it last year, and if I add Jalen Waddle,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's just cheating. I Mean, it never
Speaker 1: ceases to amaze me how these super Flex mark drafts
Speaker 1: play out, because there are at least three or four
Speaker 1: players where I'm like they should be first round picks.
Speaker 1: But as I look at the board, who are you
Speaker 1: going to bump out? You know? And this is why
Speaker 1: super flex is so fun, and this is why second
Speaker 1: round picks and Dynasty rookie drafts this year are going
Speaker 1: to be so valuable because right here at the one
Speaker 1: twelve spot, I knew that you wouldn't select him, and
Speaker 1: I think this is incredible value to get a potential
Speaker 1: top ten top fifteen NFL Draft pick at the quarterback
Speaker 1: position at the one twelve spot. And if we were
Speaker 1: going two rounds deep, I probably would pass on mac
Speaker 1: Jones here as well. But I'm because I think I'll
Speaker 1: be able to get him at the two or two spots.
Speaker 1: So right here at one twelve to get mac Jones,
Speaker 1: I just think it's, you know, everything that we're hearing.
Speaker 1: We're seeing report after report after report of Jalen Waddle,
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith, Nazi Harris saying they preferred mac Jones over Toua.
Speaker 1: We're seeing reports that he could potentially go eight overall
Speaker 1: to the Panthers, that Kiper and the talking heads are saying,
Speaker 1: this dude is going to be a top ten pick.
Speaker 1: And again, Yates, I believe that if this were a
Speaker 1: real rookie draft, you still would see players like Rondell Moore,
Speaker 1: Rasha Bateman draft, maybe even a Cadarius Tony drafted ahead
Speaker 1: of a mac Jones, which just to get a top
Speaker 1: ten quarterback at the two O three, two four spot,
Speaker 1: that's regardless if you like him or not. Hell, you
Speaker 1: gotta take that value man oh completely, And I think
Speaker 1: this is important to talk about, Like if you are
Speaker 1: doing these drafts Now. I don't personally condones not the
Speaker 1: right word, but like proposed or like him in favor
Speaker 1: of this where you do your rookie draft before the
Speaker 1: actual NFL draft, not in favor. But if you are
Speaker 1: in that situation and you are doing your rookie draft
Speaker 1: prior to the NFL draft, this is a situation where
Speaker 1: I actually would be comfortable taking mac Jones at the
Speaker 1: one twelve now, even though I have questions about mac
Speaker 1: Jones and as far as how the NFL views him, Man,
Speaker 1: you just talked about it. The NFL, like all the
Speaker 1: news surrounding mac Jones is indicating that I'm too low
Speaker 1: on him. Now, I'm still going to hold true to
Speaker 1: my evaluation and we'll see how that plays out in
Speaker 1: a couple of years, and we'll see it, you know,
Speaker 1: and we'll evaluate and I'll go back to the drawing
Speaker 1: board if it doesn't work out. All this stuff. But yet,
Speaker 1: at this point, the risk of drafting mac Jones like,
Speaker 1: there's very little risk is how I want to say
Speaker 1: this at the one twelve, because what happens if he
Speaker 1: does go as a top ten NFL draft pick, Well,
Speaker 1: you've got an absolute freaking steal in a super flex
Speaker 1: league at the one twelve if he doesn't go in
Speaker 1: the top thirty two picks or whatever, which is looking
Speaker 1: highly unlikely at this point. If he doesn't have a
Speaker 1: great who cares you, it's the last pick of the
Speaker 1: first round, like, it's not going to set you back
Speaker 1: drastically for years in your dynasty league. So I think
Speaker 1: this is a fantastic spot to take mac Jones. I
Speaker 1: knew that you were going to try to. I knew
Speaker 1: that you were going to get him in here at
Speaker 1: one point, at whatever point in the first round. Really
Speaker 1: happy that you did, because I think that there's very
Speaker 1: little risk selecting him here at this point because it
Speaker 1: could pay off in a big way. I also want

Speaker 1: looking at the guys we were talking about it, we
Speaker 1: talked about a few of them that didn't make it
Speaker 1: inside the first round, and it just points to how
Speaker 1: much value there's going to be in your second round
Speaker 1: of a super Flex League. I mean Rashad Bateman, Ron
Speaker 1: Dale Moore, Thailand Wallace Kenneth gained well a Monross, Saint Brown,
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore, Darius Tony, like Jamar Jefferson, like Michael Carter.
Speaker 1: I'm Kylan Hill, who I actually just did a scouting
Speaker 1: evaluation on this past week and came away really impressed
Speaker 1: as with his ability as a receiving threat out of
Speaker 1: the backfield. Like, all of these guys are going to
Speaker 1: be there for you in your second third round of
Speaker 1: your super flex drafts and is just crazy, crazy value.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about now some of the guys that
Speaker 1: we could potentially flip for one of those second round
Speaker 1: rookie picks in super flex league, third round picks and
Speaker 1: super flex leagues. The cell now before it's too late,
Speaker 1: And this is important in dynasty leagues, and this is
Speaker 1: part of the strategy, part of the game is knowing
Speaker 1: when to get out on these players before their stock
Speaker 1: just takes a drastic hit. Now, the qualification before we
Speaker 1: get into this is that when Ray and I bring
Speaker 1: up these guys, it's not like we are saying that
Speaker 1: their stock is going to They're not going to have
Speaker 1: a starting job next week, right, Like they might still
Speaker 1: be fantasy relevant for a little while into the future.
Speaker 1: But yet you're passing off the risk and passing off
Speaker 1: the percentage chances that they take it. You know that
Speaker 1: their situation changes, or that they're no longer the same player,
Speaker 1: or for whatever qualification we want to say, you're passing
Speaker 1: that risk off to someone else and getting more youth
Speaker 1: on your roster, or taking someone who has less questions
Speaker 1: surrounding them, things like this. So the players that we're
Speaker 1: gonna mention here are not bad players. They can still
Speaker 1: be very fantasy relevant for the long term or short
Speaker 1: term or whatever. We're going to break that down. But
Speaker 1: yet it is important to note that we're saying it
Speaker 1: might be time to get out in these guys. So
Speaker 1: Ray and I have selected each five players here that
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna go down from five to one.
Speaker 1: We're gonna work our way down. So Ray, I'll throw
Speaker 1: it to you first. I think you've got a spicy
Speaker 1: name here to start us off here. So number five
Speaker 1: players that you're saying, sell them now before it's too late.
Speaker 1: Who are we going with? Yeah, I'm staying here in
Speaker 1: my hometown at Dallas, Texas, and I'm going to Ezekiel
Speaker 1: Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys and listen, I understand that
Speaker 1: he's still a very productive rusher, but he just has
Speaker 1: not been the same running back. And partly because Dallas,
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys don't have is dominant of an offensive line.
Speaker 1: There question marks around Dak Prescott. You've got Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: who seems he wants to throw the ball to all
Speaker 1: over the place, and at times it seems that towards,
Speaker 1: you know, the end of the season, it seems like
Speaker 1: Dallas really preferred Tony Pollard in some situations to get
Speaker 1: him on the field. So the thing with the running
Speaker 1: back position in Dynasty is when they fall off of
Speaker 1: a cliff, it is not like a slow ladder down.
Speaker 1: It's not like stairs down, a slow decline. It seems
Speaker 1: like these guys just fall off the face of the
Speaker 1: mountain like instantaneously, and their value just drops. I mean,
Speaker 1: there are some players that we're going to talk about.
Speaker 1: It just seems like, you know, just the other day
Speaker 1: they were, you know, top ten Dynasty startup picks, top
Speaker 1: first round picks, and now you won't even touch them
Speaker 1: with the ten foot poll So for me, Zeke going
Speaker 1: into year what's he going into year five, year six?
Speaker 1: I just think This is around the time where you
Speaker 1: start looking at shopping some of these running backs. And
Speaker 1: I wouldn't trade four second round pick, but if I
Speaker 1: can get a mid to high first rounder in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: if I can trade out Ezekiel Elliott for Naji Harris,
Speaker 1: which nobody will do, but maybe a Vanta Williams plus
Speaker 1: a little something, I would definitely consider making that move.
Speaker 1: It's a jarring name to hear. You say, sell now
Speaker 1: before it's too late with Ezekiel Elliott, right because the
Speaker 1: perception is, well, he's still one of the best, at
Speaker 1: least like initial reaction is, he's still one of the
Speaker 1: top five most valuable fantasy running backs. But then when
Speaker 1: you stop and you think about it a little bit more,
Speaker 1: you remember, like you said, they were favoring Tony Pollard
Speaker 1: over him towards the end of last season. I mean,
Speaker 1: Zekiel Elliott was borderline. You can't play him any given
Speaker 1: week last year, right, Like as a top twenty four option.
Speaker 1: If you roll him into your lineup, you're playing with
Speaker 1: fire now. So the value on him, that's going to
Speaker 1: be my question to you, Ray, is like, is his
Speaker 1: value too low where you might actually have to hold
Speaker 1: him because selling him away, Dude, I don't think you're
Speaker 1: getting the mid to first or mid you know, to
Speaker 1: high first round pick. You might have to settle for
Speaker 1: a second round pick, and at that point, I just
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm willing to do that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that I saw some he tweetd this out
Speaker 1: yesterday and I really wish I could remember who it was,
Speaker 1: but they said, basically, you hold Zeke, you let him
Speaker 1: go off the first three four weeks of the season,
Speaker 1: and at that point in time you move him. Right now,
Speaker 1: You're right, you probably couldn't trade him for Travis Etan
Speaker 1: straight up or Javon to William straight up. But week three,
Speaker 1: week four, if he goes out there and performs, well,
Speaker 1: that's your window of opportunity to move a player like Zeke. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I completely agree that that's the situation. I think you
Speaker 1: know it's not sell right right now, but it is
Speaker 1: at least putting this player on your putting Zeke on
Speaker 1: people's radar to say, like, get rid of him as
Speaker 1: soon as you can, as soon as you can capitalize
Speaker 1: on value because the future is a huge question mark.
Speaker 1: You just don't know when exactly he's going to tail
Speaker 1: off again or even if he will come back to
Speaker 1: you know, that top five perception. So you certainly started
Speaker 1: off with a more spicy name than I am going
Speaker 1: to bring up. Mine is James Connor. And you talk
Speaker 1: about a running back who you know will fall their
Speaker 1: value will fall off a cliff. Yeah, happening for James Connor.
Speaker 1: And I think it's just been actually it's been a slow,
Speaker 1: steady decline for the past couple of seasons and now
Speaker 1: it's about to fall off a cliff. So, yeah, James
Speaker 1: Conner unlikely to be back with Pittsburgh this offseason. I
Speaker 1: see no reason why they would bring him back. And
Speaker 1: now heading in the next year, it's hard to look
Speaker 1: across the NFL and say who is going to bring
Speaker 1: in James Connor and give him the majority of the workload.
Speaker 1: So a couple of years ago, we were holding out
Speaker 1: hopes and we were riding high on James Connor, saying
Speaker 1: that he's going to be this, you know, workhorse back
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. He's taken over for Leabyon Bell. It's fantastic,
Speaker 1: it's great. And now two years later, three years later
Speaker 1: or whatever it's been, we're saying, just sell him. For
Speaker 1: whatever you can get in my opinion, Like I a
Speaker 1: couple of months ago in my main Dynasty league, I
Speaker 1: sold mark Ingram for a twenty twenty three fourth round pick,
Speaker 1: like about as low of a value as you can get,
Speaker 1: and I still feel like I kind of won that trade.
Speaker 1: Like you know, that's just kind of how I'm viewing it.
Speaker 1: Because marky Rom at this point release from the Ravens.
Speaker 1: He might sign as a depth piece somewhere else, or
Speaker 1: he might just straight up retire and go into broadcasting,
Speaker 1: which I think he absolutely should do. But I think
Speaker 1: James Connor is kind of at that same spot where
Speaker 1: it's like I might just be willing to take anything
Speaker 1: if I can package him in a different in another trade.
Speaker 1: It's sort of like a you know, lower tier package offer.
Speaker 1: Absolutely sign me up to do that, but really I
Speaker 1: just want James Connor off my Dynasty rosters at this point.
Speaker 1: Listen Yates. Every time I hear that name, I just
Speaker 1: I literally have PTSD like post trade stressed whatever disorder
Speaker 1: because I traded James Connor. I traded Justin Jefferson for
Speaker 1: James Connor straight up Week two of the Dynasty season
Speaker 1: last year, and I literally want to cry right now
Speaker 1: when I see his names. Justin what was I listen? Sometimes, folks,
Speaker 1: here's here's a piece of advice. Sometimes just put the
Speaker 1: damn phone down. Put the phone down. Don't don't check
Speaker 1: trades late at night. Just don't do it. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Connor get him off from a roster. I don't want
Speaker 1: him anymore. Good call, get rid of him for whatever
Speaker 1: you can get. Yeah, all right, let's go to your
Speaker 1: number four player. All right, At number four, I have
Speaker 1: actually a really productive player from from twenty twenty, and
Speaker 1: that's Adam Dealin wide receiver in Minnesota Vikings. He's a
Speaker 1: player who you know he's entering like what year eight
Speaker 1: of his career, and we know that justin Jefferson is
Speaker 1: the position should be the number one wide receiver in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: IRV Smith's ascension to hopefully be a bigger part of
Speaker 1: that Minnesota offense. Theland is still a very productive player,
Speaker 1: but he's definitely on the back nine of his career,
Speaker 1: a poster the front nine. He's a player that I
Speaker 1: do think still holds value for, especially those teams that
Speaker 1: are competing for a Fantasy championship in this upcoming twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one season, he still has some value. Again, one
Speaker 1: of those things like you said about Zeke Elliot, what
Speaker 1: can you realistically get for theland right now. I don't
Speaker 1: know many people who would probably trade you a second
Speaker 1: straight up for him, But if you could get something
Speaker 1: like that for Feeling, I would do that. Or he's
Speaker 1: the perfect complimentary piece to a bigger deal to help
Speaker 1: push it through and get it done. Yeah, And I think,
Speaker 1: as I talked about before we even started mentioning names
Speaker 1: here is Adam Feeland is still going to be fantasy
Speaker 1: relevant for the next couple of years. Like I think
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson of course has ascended and is going to
Speaker 1: take over the majority of the targets there and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. But Adam Feeland is still a fantastic wide receiver.
Speaker 1: So this is not a recommendation of like sell now
Speaker 1: because he guess what, He's not going to be productive
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one or whatever. No, He's still going
Speaker 1: to be productive. But what Ray is saying is like,
Speaker 1: get him off your roster now because the end is coming, right,
Speaker 1: the end is near, and so get rid of him
Speaker 1: now and capitalize on the value as much as you
Speaker 1: can before another year goes by, and then Minnesota decides
Speaker 1: to release him or whatever, and then at that point,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a He's a depth piece, depth signing
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Right, at that point, then you're holding something
Speaker 1: in your hand. Yeah, that's essentially nothing, right, Get something
Speaker 1: while you can, and if you can, like the name,
Speaker 1: value still has worth, So package him in another deal.
Speaker 1: Get Adam feeling off your rosters. I agree with that one. Man.
Speaker 1: If I'm especially a young rebuilding roster, I'm selling him
Speaker 1: off to someone who is looking to compete for next
Speaker 1: year and is willing to send away a second round
Speaker 1: pick or whatever, you know, move multiple pieces or whatever.
Speaker 1: So love the call there. Again, I'm going to go
Speaker 1: back to the running back position and a very similar
Speaker 1: name to James Connor, and that is Chris Carson, the
Speaker 1: running back for the Seattle Seahawks for the past couple
Speaker 1: of seasons. He heading into this year, which was a
Speaker 1: contract year for him, his whole thing was, I want
Speaker 1: to prove that I can stay healthy to get that main,
Speaker 1: that big contract from Seattle, and we saw him fight.
Speaker 1: It's there are very few players who I think fight
Speaker 1: through injuries the way that Chris Carson does like Matthew
Speaker 1: Stafford is certainly up there, and I think he's in
Speaker 1: another whole other tier. But Chris Carson battles man like.
Speaker 1: He is just a hard player and fights through things.
Speaker 1: But at this point at the running back position, he
Speaker 1: has taken way too much damage on his body. He
Speaker 1: can't stay healthy for a full sixteen game season. So
Speaker 1: no NFL team heading into twenty twenty one is going
Speaker 1: to say, very similar to James Connor, we're gonna bring
Speaker 1: you in and we're gonna make you the main guy.
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be part of a rotational
Speaker 1: backfield next season. He can still have value as a
Speaker 1: depth running back, you know, an RB four, RB five
Speaker 1: on your dynasty roster. But if you can turn him
Speaker 1: now and flip him for someone who is willing to
Speaker 1: buy in that, you know his best days are still
Speaker 1: ahead of him. He's going to get a massive contract. Whatever.
Speaker 1: Just put out to your league group text and say, hey,
Speaker 1: Chris Carson is available, or try to include him in
Speaker 1: another package, another trade, something like that. I think that
Speaker 1: now is the time to get get him off your
Speaker 1: roster before again, before it's too late. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think you know Carson might be one of those guys.
Speaker 1: You probably should have tried to move him during the season, right,
Speaker 1: this player who was a six seventh round pick, they
Speaker 1: had no yea seventh round pick, no intentions of resigning him.
Speaker 1: They drafted a shot penny they you know, they it
Speaker 1: just and then his physical running style, And this is
Speaker 1: part of the reason why Ezekiel Elliott scares me. Like you,
Speaker 1: there are very few players that could just sustain those
Speaker 1: blows week after week, year after year without breaking down.
Speaker 1: And Chris Carson is broken down, and don't I don't
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be any better for him. So listen,
Speaker 1: he's one of those players. I'm if I can get
Speaker 1: a third round or for him, send him to a
Speaker 1: contending team, I would take that. And uh, it's just,
Speaker 1: you know, this is the nature of the running back position.
Speaker 1: It happens a lot quicker than it does with some
Speaker 1: of these wide receivers. And uh yeah, get off, get
Speaker 1: him off of your roster. And I just have to
Speaker 1: say this because as I'm talking about a lot of
Speaker 1: my guys, right, most of my guys, the way that
Speaker 1: I categorized them, are I would rather be a year
Speaker 1: early on moving a player than a year too late,
Speaker 1: because had you moved Let's take Chris Carson for example,
Speaker 1: if you moved him prior to this season, you definitely
Speaker 1: would have received more value than you can right now.
Speaker 1: And some of the players that I'm talking about, Kyle,
Speaker 1: you just said it, there's still very good fantasy options.
Speaker 1: For me personally, I just would rather be a year
Speaker 1: or two early than a year too late. And for me,
Speaker 1: but the third player have on this list, I actually
Speaker 1: switched it up because I think Michael Thomas. I can't
Speaker 1: believe he's twenty eight years old already. It just seems
Speaker 1: like he's only been in the league a couple of years.
Speaker 1: But the uncertainty at the quarterback position, there were moments
Speaker 1: of the season where we were uncertain if Michael Thomas
Speaker 1: was going to be in New Orleans long term. I
Speaker 1: just don't know. He's not tethered to Drew Brees anymore,
Speaker 1: at least we don't think he is. And I know
Speaker 1: he still was able to gobble up targets and volume
Speaker 1: with Taysom Hill like one of the weeks or a
Speaker 1: couple of the weeks. But he's just a player for me.
Speaker 1: If I can trade Michael Thomas. I would. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just if you had him on your team for
Speaker 1: the past couple of years and got all those receptions
Speaker 1: out of him in touchdowns, kudos to you. But he's
Speaker 1: another one of those players. I mean literally, he's twenty
Speaker 1: eight years old already and it seems like he's only
Speaker 1: been in the league a couple of years. So MT
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas a great player but in a still a
Speaker 1: very very good fantasy asset. But I'd be just fine
Speaker 1: moving him. Yeah, I think a side of the argument
Speaker 1: against training away Michael Thomas would be, well, what if
Speaker 1: they you know, because Taysom Hill is the quarterback right now,
Speaker 1: that's going to be presumed, and the assumption right now
Speaker 1: is that Drew Brees retires. That hasn't officially happened yet,
Speaker 1: they've restructured his contract. But the argument would be, well,
Speaker 1: what if Jamis Winston. What if they've resigned Jamis Winston
Speaker 1: and he's the quarterback in twenty twenty one for New Orleans. Well,
Speaker 1: we've seen Jamis do phenomenal things for wide receivers in
Speaker 1: the past, obviously Mike Evans and Chris Godwin to name
Speaker 1: a couple. So but when we look at the situation
Speaker 1: they've restructured several different players, Like they just restructured Will
Speaker 1: Lutz's contract, the kicker, They're still slated to be like
Speaker 1: sixty million dollars over the cap. So the probability of
Speaker 1: New Orleans resigning Jamis Winston, I think is very very low.
Speaker 1: And if that is the case, then you are looking
Speaker 1: at Taysom Hill being the quarterback next season. Now you
Speaker 1: mentioned it, Taysom Hill and Michael Thomas seemed to have
Speaker 1: a little bit of a connection there for a couple
Speaker 1: of games. But the true value of Michael Thomas, the name,
Speaker 1: I think carries more weight right now than the production.
Speaker 1: And even though Michael Thomas certainly had a down year,
Speaker 1: I think that you can still capitalize on the name
Speaker 1: value where people don't realize, Like you said that he's
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old. That's something that has shocked me.
Speaker 1: I found that out a couple weeks ago, or like
Speaker 1: came across it again and was just like man, I
Speaker 1: thought he was like twenty five, twenty six, right, Like, No,
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old now, So if you can flip
Speaker 1: him for a first round pick, in that late first
Speaker 1: round pick in a super flex league, can turn into
Speaker 1: Jaalen Waddle like we just saw in the rookie mock
Speaker 1: that we did absolutely sign me up because I think
Speaker 1: that is I'm willing to play those percentage chances where
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle turns out to be a better fantasy asset
Speaker 1: in the near future rather than Michael Thomas long term.
Speaker 1: So I think Thomas will still have value, of course,
Speaker 1: but yet I'm going to play the percentage chances. So
Speaker 1: looking at now my number three player, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with the quarterback position here and talk about in super
Speaker 1: flex leagues. Now, there are still believers in Jared Goff,
Speaker 1: and I don't understand why exactly, but I put out
Speaker 1: a poll on Twitter a couple I mean maybe a
Speaker 1: month ago now, and there were people who were saying
Speaker 1: that I will trade a twenty twenty one first round
Speaker 1: pick to acquire Jared Goff. And at that point, dude,
Speaker 1: sign me. I will send you all the Jared Goff
Speaker 1: shares that I have because he was just traded away
Speaker 1: from a massive contract. They sent away a first round
Speaker 1: pick to get rid of Jared Goff, and Detroit is
Speaker 1: sitting there heading into a multi year rebuild. That number
Speaker 1: seven overall in the NFL draft this year. Quarterback is
Speaker 1: absolutely on the table for them. Jared Goff is not
Speaker 1: the long term answer here for the Detroit Lions. And
Speaker 1: I've actually never been super impressed with Jared Goff. I
Speaker 1: don't think that he's an actually like good NFL quarterback.
Speaker 1: And I a couple of years or last year, in
Speaker 1: my in the Fantasy Pros Dynasty Invitational league, I sent
Speaker 1: away to acquire Joe Burrow, who had fallen in the
Speaker 1: rookie draft, to the one oh four. I made a
Speaker 1: massive trade with Elliot christ and I sent away the
Speaker 1: one oh eight, Terry McLaurin, Jared Goff, and my first
Speaker 1: round pick this year to go acquire Joe Burrow because
Speaker 1: I was that much of a Jared Goff was like,
Speaker 1: I don't as a rebuilding super flex roster, I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't want him on my roster. I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: rid of him. And now you're telling me that his
Speaker 1: value is actually perceived higher now because he was traded.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. So get Jared Goff off my
Speaker 1: roster man, because I don't think that there's a very
Speaker 1: good possibility that he's not even the starting quarterback for
Speaker 1: this roster in twenty twenty one. Yeah, listen, there's a
Speaker 1: there's a quarterback that you like. I believe he's from
Speaker 1: the Detroit area or from Michigan in trade lance, from
Speaker 1: that area. I mean, I could definitely see Detroit. What
Speaker 1: if they take Trede Lance at number eight overall? I
Speaker 1: mean at that point and this is this is the
Speaker 1: strategy of dynasty. You have to be thinking two or
Speaker 1: three moves ahead, and if you are savvy, you will
Speaker 1: know or you should realize that Jared Goff probably is
Speaker 1: not going to be the long term answer. So if
Speaker 1: his value has increased because of this trade, move them
Speaker 1: like period, trade him like this is right now, do
Speaker 1: it before the NF And this is a move you
Speaker 1: probably want to make before the draft, and just hedge
Speaker 1: that in case they do draft the quarterback, because if
Speaker 1: Detroit takes a quarterback, your golf shares have crumbled. You
Speaker 1: won't be able to move him for anything. So I
Speaker 1: love this. You could have had this guy at number
Speaker 1: one for you, Yates, and I would have spot on
Speaker 1: put for me at number two. Another one of those
Speaker 1: big names, one of the most productive wide receivers to
Speaker 1: start his career in NFL history and his name value.
Speaker 1: I still believe it holds enough weight to that you
Speaker 1: can trade him. And that's Mike Evans. Mike Evans. Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay just won a Super Bowl, and it feels like
Speaker 1: Evans was barely involved week to week. You know, just
Speaker 1: I think he caught a couple of passes in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It's just Tom Brady's as long as he's
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I don't know who he's gonna throw the
Speaker 1: ball too. Honestly, I don't know if it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a Grant game, a Scottie Miller game, an Antonia Brown game.
Speaker 1: You just don't know. You know, Mike Evans again, I
Speaker 1: think six straight thousand yards seasons to start his career.
Speaker 1: It's still Mike Evans. He plays on Tampa Bay. But
Speaker 1: if I could pivot off of a Mike Evans, and
Speaker 1: let's just say hypothetically, I can get a late first
Speaker 1: and I can go from Mike Evans to Rashod Bateman,
Speaker 1: Mike Evans to Jalen Wattle, Mike Evans to potentially at
Speaker 1: Travis ETN. I'm taking that deal. I'm taking that deal,
Speaker 1: and I'm okay with him. Producing another thousand yards season.
Speaker 1: I just think the dominant Mike Evans is the alpha
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen hundred yards seasons. I don't think we're going
Speaker 1: to see that out of him anymore. So for me
Speaker 1: and Dynasty, I'm okay with moving him. I actually think
Speaker 1: you can get a late first plus something for Mike
Speaker 1: Evans because of how he finished the season. Now, people,
Speaker 1: again we suffer from short term memory loss where all
Speaker 1: dories from finding Nemo in Dynasty right where we look
Speaker 1: back on fantasy football and we can't remember what the
Speaker 1: first part of the season was like in Mike Evans
Speaker 1: was not good for fantasy football, Like he was catching
Speaker 1: the one reception for two yards and a touchdown, Like
Speaker 1: do you remember this was? This was this past season
Speaker 1: and yes, obviously like that changed towards the end of
Speaker 1: the season. He started to become more productive to him
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady started to click and things started to
Speaker 1: figure out. So again, there is risk with trading away
Speaker 1: Mike Evans where that would be sort of like the
Speaker 1: situation where you know you're looking out the windshield or
Speaker 1: the window and it's raining and you're watching Mike Evans
Speaker 1: put up another thousand yards season, or whatever, because he
Speaker 1: is an extremely talented wide receiver. It's not taking away
Speaker 1: anything from Mike Evans, but when you can take the
Speaker 1: percentage chances and say, like, what happens if he does
Speaker 1: go back to only catching the one pass for two
Speaker 1: yards in the touchdown or the touchdown doesn't happen, Like
Speaker 1: there was very little consistency with Mike Evans last season.
Speaker 1: And if I can get a player who I think
Speaker 1: is going to be more consistent long term, I'm willing
Speaker 1: to take that short term hit to get that long
Speaker 1: term gain for me. David Johnson at number two is
Speaker 1: going to be a player now. We talked about him
Speaker 1: as far as having the restructured deal, so he's still
Speaker 1: got people in his camp still, people that are fans
Speaker 1: of him that are going to be pumping him up.
Speaker 1: We're going to see it when we hit June July,
Speaker 1: people who are going to be putting out articles and
Speaker 1: saying David Johnson is a value as an RB two
Speaker 1: yet again. And for me, I don't care I get
Speaker 1: him off my roster. I don't want David Johnson at
Speaker 1: this point, Like I really just don't care. I don't
Speaker 1: want David Johnson. So I'm willing to take. I don't
Speaker 1: think that you should sell him for just anything. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's kind of the same level as a
Speaker 1: James Connor or Chris Carson. I think you can get
Speaker 1: a second round, third round rookie pick, especially in a
Speaker 1: super flex league. So if that is the case, then
Speaker 1: I'm shipping David Johnson off. I don't care who that
Speaker 1: running back turns into at that spot or whatever. Like,
Speaker 1: I just want because I think it's going to the end.
Speaker 1: Is like the falling off a cliff. I think it's
Speaker 1: sooner is happening sooner than later. I mean, it just
Speaker 1: seems like just yesterday David Johnson was like a thousand
Speaker 1: and a thousand candidate, you know what I mean. He
Speaker 1: signed for Megadale in Arizona, and then that run you
Speaker 1: know what run I'm talking about, Yeates, It just seems
Speaker 1: the run I think you tweeted that, Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: like my main that's like my most interacted tweet. Like
Speaker 1: it was just a clip from game Pass had something
Speaker 1: like thirty thousand. Yeah, it was ridiculous. The run, and
Speaker 1: I would run is loosely is that's he's gonna go?
Speaker 1: Look that up, right, now actually he did not run,
Speaker 1: but David Johnson is gosh, it's just it's a sad tale. Man.
Speaker 1: This is what happens in Nynasty. But um, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and close out my cell now. And this
Speaker 1: one is even more I think one of the players
Speaker 1: I've got to tie up top. So I've got two quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: I've got Aaron Rodgers and that should be pretty self explanatory, right.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is thirty seven, you know, going on thirty
Speaker 1: eight is still at the peak of his powers. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's the reigning NFL MVP. And if you can get
Speaker 1: a first round pick for him and to send him
Speaker 1: to a team, and Aaron Rodgers is not going to
Speaker 1: work for a rebuilding squad. But in the Super Flex League,
Speaker 1: if a team has a Patrick Mahomes and they just
Speaker 1: lost the Fantasy title and they've got the one eleven
Speaker 1: now because they finished second, and you're telling them, look,
Speaker 1: you give me that one eleven and all upgrade your
Speaker 1: quarterback to to Aaron Rodgers, I mean, those are deals
Speaker 1: you can get done. It's you have to strategically think
Speaker 1: about who you're moving these players too. But Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: as a player I don't even know if he's gonna
Speaker 1: be in Green Bay after next season, if he's gonna retire,
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. So I'm fine with moving the forty
Speaker 1: five hundred yard passer forty two d Aaron Rodgers to
Speaker 1: a team that wants to make a push for a championship.
Speaker 1: And this one right here, listen, this is the epitome
Speaker 1: of you know, good and well, if you trade this player,
Speaker 1: you're gonna trade him for a haul. Somebody will pay it,
Speaker 1: and he's probably got like four to five peak years left.
Speaker 1: But Russell Wilson, Russell Wilson, I've seen him, you know,
Speaker 1: fall from like QB five and Dynasty startups to QB
Speaker 1: eleven QB twelve, and he's still at the peak of
Speaker 1: his powers. Russell Wilson is one of the best quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the league, future Hall of Famer, but in Dynasty,
Speaker 1: I still I think you can get a lot for
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson right now. And if you're telling me, I
Speaker 1: could potentially get younger at quarterback in upgrade. So you know,
Speaker 1: if I could walk away with a two first round
Speaker 1: picks and walk away with Trey Lance and Davante Smith
Speaker 1: or trade Lance and Javanta Williams or whatever. Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: me and Dynasty, I'll trade to anybody. I don't care.
Speaker 1: And Russell Wilson. For me as a player that there
Speaker 1: are so many young talented quarterbacks in the league, I'm
Speaker 1: perfectly fine with taking the risk of moving off of
Speaker 1: an aging veteran for a younger, potential stud quarterback, plus
Speaker 1: for a player like Russell Wilson. Yeah, I want to
Speaker 1: talk about Aaron Rodgers specifically, because you're always going to
Speaker 1: have the people in your dynasty league who are playing
Speaker 1: like the next year is the last year that the
Speaker 1: league is in existence right as far as like they
Speaker 1: are going all in, they're pushing all their chips, they
Speaker 1: have no first round picks for the next five seasons,
Speaker 1: like they are acquiring the veteran players, the guys who
Speaker 1: can help them win right now. And so Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: absolutely fits the bill. Even in one QB leagues, I've
Speaker 1: seen him shipped around a ton for these rosters that
Speaker 1: think that they are just a one quarterback away from
Speaker 1: competing right for a championship. So absolutely, if you can
Speaker 1: ship him off if you're a young and rebuilding roster,
Speaker 1: even if you aren't, if you still have some stability
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, I'm willing to trade away Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers because yes, you're again, it's kind of a similar
Speaker 1: thing where with Mike Evans, you're probably gonna have to
Speaker 1: watch him put up another yard and forty touchdown and
Speaker 1: four intercept like you're probably gonna have to watch that
Speaker 1: happen next season. But as far as what happens after that,
Speaker 1: it lines up exactly with what you were saying of
Speaker 1: a year early on this player versus a year or late.
Speaker 1: So love the call there. With Aaron Rodgers, I'm going
Speaker 1: to go with a player that this is going to
Speaker 1: hurt if I actually do end up sending this person away,
Speaker 1: but I do think that it is in the best
Speaker 1: interest of my Dynasty roster, and that's Julio Jones. Julio
Speaker 1: Jones at this point of his career. Yes, the amount
Speaker 1: of games that he has missed is very, very few,
Speaker 1: but he's in that same category of the guys that
Speaker 1: just battle through injuries right there. I can't remember the
Speaker 1: last game that we went into where I didn't get
Speaker 1: the news alert that Julio Jones was questionable, right, Like,
Speaker 1: I just it feels like that was four years ago,
Speaker 1: and it actually legitimately might have been. So Julio at
Speaker 1: this point of his career, he is starting to near
Speaker 1: the end. Who knows how long he's going to be
Speaker 1: able to continue to battle through the way that he has.
Speaker 1: We saw guys like Calvin Johnson just say like, I
Speaker 1: can't do it anymore, Like I can't continue to battle
Speaker 1: through these injuries as much as I have, And I
Speaker 1: think Julio Jones is sort of getting near that point now. Again,
Speaker 1: you're going to have to watch him if he does
Speaker 1: continue to battle through at least even next year, you're
Speaker 1: going to have to put a watch him put up
Speaker 1: a thousand yards season. It's Julio Jones. He's one of
Speaker 1: the best wide receivers to ever play the game. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to watch that happen. But being a
Speaker 1: year early on selling Julio Jones for you can still
Speaker 1: capitalize on the name value for a competing roster to
Speaker 1: be able to get a first round pick. You're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to get a first round pick for Julio
Speaker 1: Jones in your dynasty league. If you so. I think
Speaker 1: you got to do this because being able to ship
Speaker 1: him out now versus waiting a year and then finding
Speaker 1: out that he retires or you know that Atlanta moves
Speaker 1: on and they're entering it whatever, like at that point,
Speaker 1: I'm willing to move him now, even though it does
Speaker 1: pay me to move a talented player like Julio Jones. Yep, yep,
Speaker 1: I agree, And I've been saying and it, you know,
Speaker 1: is when Julio is on the field and playing, he's
Speaker 1: probably the best receiver in the NFL. Right, but good grief.
Speaker 1: I mean, every week he's limping off the field, you
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna finish the game. He's on
Speaker 1: the end report, you don't know if he's gonna play
Speaker 1: the game. I just you know, Atlanta looks like they're
Speaker 1: a couple of months away from a full just rebuild, right, No,
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan hul Jonas the Todd Gurley, they've got a
Speaker 1: new coach. If he's a player, if you can still
Speaker 1: trade Julio for anything, and I think you could probably
Speaker 1: get what a high second late first for Julio too.
Speaker 1: One of those teams who are still going all in,
Speaker 1: you gotta move him, be fine with him going off
Speaker 1: next season, absolutely, all Right, well, that is gonna do
Speaker 1: it for today's show. Again. Thank you so much to
