Speaker 1: to talk through these wide receiver and tight end landing
Speaker 1: spots and a lot of really really interesting landing spots
Speaker 1: here for the wide receiver class specifically, right and we're
Speaker 1: going to start right here at the top. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about talk about Jamar Chase at number five overall to
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. Now, we had been talking about this
Speaker 1: pick for quite a while and saying that it could
Speaker 1: it should be Penny Suel, it could be Penny Sul
Speaker 1: it's looking that way, and then right as we kind
Speaker 1: of got towards the NFL Draft, it shifted and it
Speaker 1: became clear that it was going to be Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: there reuniting with Joe Burrows. So I had him as
Speaker 1: wide receiver one heading into the draft. I think that
Speaker 1: you had him at one and it was like one
Speaker 1: one B with Davante Smith, right, yes, correct, yees perfect?
Speaker 1: So is he still with this landing spot? Is he
Speaker 1: still a wide receiver one for you? Is he still
Speaker 1: in that top tier? What is kind of your outlook
Speaker 1: here for Jamar Chase in Cincinnati battling with te Higgins,
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd, but more specifically and most importantly, reuniting with
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. Numero uno, numero uno. I mean, it's a
Speaker 1: hell of a landing spot for for Chase. You know,
Speaker 1: they need another dynamic pass catching weapon in a division
Speaker 1: that wants to score points. You've got a young, ascending
Speaker 1: quarterback and you get an opportunity to pare him up
Speaker 1: with the player that I mean, they made each other
Speaker 1: a ton of money, and I think we talked about
Speaker 1: this pre draft. You know, Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: we're lock and key, and now to see them reunited
Speaker 1: again at the NFL level, I mean he's I think
Speaker 1: he's penciled into one hundred plus targets this season. But
Speaker 1: but but but but but Tyler boyd Higgins and Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon are also talented pass catchers in their own right.
Speaker 1: And I do think that that fantasy game or should
Speaker 1: temper expectations just a little bit. He's not going out
Speaker 1: there getting the two hundred targets at a j Brown
Speaker 1: is about to get in Tennessee. But I think long term,
Speaker 1: this is a great spot. I'm in complete agreement, and
Speaker 1: it's really interesting. Right, Jamar Chase will go from catching
Speaker 1: passes from Joe Burrow to right to Joe Burrow again.
Speaker 1: He won't catch passes at all from another quarterback in college. Right,
Speaker 1: He'll go straight from Joe Burrow to Joe Burrow in
Speaker 1: the NFL because he opted out in twenty twenty. So
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase in Cincinnati, you talked about it. There are
Speaker 1: a lot of mouse tofe There are a lot there's
Speaker 1: a lot of talented players, Tee Higgins, Tyler boy Joe Mixon,
Speaker 1: and I mean, if you want to include Drew Sample
Speaker 1: in that, you certainly can be my guest. But there's
Speaker 1: a lot of mouse to feed. But yet this team
Speaker 1: throws the ball a ton. This defense still has plenty
Speaker 1: of holes on it, It's not to the level where
Speaker 1: it's going to allow them to be able to lean
Speaker 1: on the running game. Is this all fence is going
Speaker 1: to have a lot of plays and there is a
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity here for Jamar Chase. So when you
Speaker 1: give a player just plug in aj Green's numbers, right,
Speaker 1: if you give him Aja Green's target totals from last year,
Speaker 1: with the talent level and the chemistry that Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow have, I think that Chase can be
Speaker 1: an immediate contributor in a big way. Now, do I
Speaker 1: think that he moves and has like a justin Jefferson's
Speaker 1: season from last year. No, I'm not going to go
Speaker 1: crazy because and try to predict that because that's just
Speaker 1: an outlier, right, it was a record breaking season. But
Speaker 1: I do think that he can absolutely be a top
Speaker 1: tier contributor for Fantasy right out of the gate. So
Speaker 1: the question that I wanted to ask you with Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase being your wide receiver one was with Naji being
Speaker 1: the RB one. If you are on the clock at
Speaker 1: the one and one in a one quarterback league, right
Speaker 1: and take need out of the equation, right, you're not
Speaker 1: trying to balance out your roster. It's just your roster
Speaker 1: is completely balanced. Who are you taking? Are you taking
Speaker 1: the talent of Jamar Chase there? Or are you going
Speaker 1: the Naji Harris work horse back and just leaning into
Speaker 1: that because I think Jamar Chase was my overall number
Speaker 1: one talent on my big board. I think that regardless
Speaker 1: of talent, I might be leaning Jamar Chase there. But
Speaker 1: I want to I want to hear your thoughts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going, I'm going Naji Harris. I just have the
Speaker 1: way that I build my roster and my team. I mean, hell,
Speaker 1: Naji can get seventy seventy plus targets this season, you
Speaker 1: know in that Pittsburgh offense. So I want the running back.
Speaker 1: I want the player who's going to get the goal
Speaker 1: line work. You know, I would predict that he would
Speaker 1: have more touchdown on scored. I'd just like to build
Speaker 1: with the running back position, and that's a that's a
Speaker 1: shallow position. Wide receivers deep. You might not get Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase later, but you'll get somebody that can at least,
Speaker 1: you know, not give you a zero. Whereas running back
Speaker 1: if you if you miss out on the top guys,
Speaker 1: it's a desolate waste land after that. So I'm still
Speaker 1: going to Naji at the top. Sounds good, all right?
Speaker 1: So Jalen Waddle goes off the board at the number
Speaker 1: six spot to Miami, now reuniting with to a tongue
Speaker 1: of bloa. This was a common theme throughout the NFL
Speaker 1: Draft was reuniting the playmakers with their former college quarterback.
Speaker 1: So Jaylen Waddle now in Miami, joins a wide receiver
Speaker 1: room that has DeVante Parker, Preston Williams, will Fuller, Mike Asiki. There.
Speaker 1: So talk about Waddle and one, did you think he
Speaker 1: was gonna go this high in the NFL Draft? And
Speaker 1: then two did this kind of solidify him in your
Speaker 1: mind as the number two wide receiver off the board
Speaker 1: in dynasty rookie drafts? There was a point in time
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, It's where I thought he could be
Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver draft that had he not
Speaker 1: been hurt. That's just the type of pace that he
Speaker 1: was on. So I'm not shocked. I think I actually
Speaker 1: said towards the draft, I said, I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: go Jaylen Waddle. He just seems like he made more
Speaker 1: sense for what that team sort of needed. And he's
Speaker 1: good and sure, will Fuller's only on a one year deal,
Speaker 1: so he's not my wide receiver too off of the
Speaker 1: board right now. I think it's a hell of a
Speaker 1: landing spot from a real football standpoint, and I also
Speaker 1: think from a fantasy perspective, but I'm still I still
Speaker 1: need to see it. Right The part of the problem,
Speaker 1: Kyle is when these rookies are drafted, it's like we forget,
Speaker 1: like we just think that everybody else turns to dust
Speaker 1: and they're just going to get everything. Like Artel Parker
Speaker 1: is still going to be involved, Will Fuller is going
Speaker 1: to be involved, Mikeaseki is going to be involved. And
Speaker 1: we've never seen Jalen Wattle be a dominant. We've never
Speaker 1: seen him be a number one, We've never seen him command,
Speaker 1: you know, majority of the targets, perceptions on a team.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know if he's that guy yet.
Speaker 1: I think he can become that, but right now, I
Speaker 1: don't have him as wide receiver too off the board, Okay,
Speaker 1: I do, And I really like this landing spot because
Speaker 1: and it's the kind of the inverse of Henry Ruggs
Speaker 1: being drafted right, and in Rugs and Waddle, I think
Speaker 1: we'll need to be utilized in a very similar way
Speaker 1: in the NFL in order to have success, and that
Speaker 1: is being able to utilize their speed underneath and as
Speaker 1: far as being able to create after the catch. Now,
Speaker 1: Wattle eventually can become that guy who can stretch the
Speaker 1: field here in Miami, I just don't know if you
Speaker 1: need that with will Fuller in town. Maybe he steps
Speaker 1: into that in twenty twenty two, but this season, I
Speaker 1: think he's going to step into that slot role. You
Speaker 1: don't have a slot receiver. You have Devanta Parker who's
Speaker 1: on the outside. You have Preston Williams who's on the outside,
Speaker 1: Albert Wilson, no, so Jalen Waddle I think is going
Speaker 1: to be forced into the slot and that will allow
Speaker 1: him to be able to soak up targets from two
Speaker 1: who wants to get that ball out quick, get it
Speaker 1: into his playmaker's hands. So I think that Waddle this
Speaker 1: is a really good landing spot because I think he's
Speaker 1: going to be able to soak up targets and then
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be able to create after
Speaker 1: the catch. So yes, you are going to have Davante
Speaker 1: Parker and Will Fuller and Mike is Siki. They're going
Speaker 1: to be involved, of course, But I think Waddle has
Speaker 1: the chance to be able to make the most out
Speaker 1: of his opportunity. There is a significant opportunity here in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia for DeVante Smith. The Eagles trade up with the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, which I'm still trying to figure out how
Speaker 1: or why that even happens, so in a division trade
Speaker 1: like that, But DeVante Smith lands in Philadelphia. Now you
Speaker 1: had him as that one A, one B with Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase is your number two wide receiver off the board,
Speaker 1: you said that Waddle wasn't Is he still in that
Speaker 1: same boat for you? Or did the landing spot here
Speaker 1: did that bump him down at all for you? Where
Speaker 1: what's your kind of just temperature check on Davante Smith
Speaker 1: heading in two twenty one and beyond, I think he
Speaker 1: should be locked and loaded wide receiver two. There were
Speaker 1: four There were three honeypot landing spots for wide receivers
Speaker 1: from me where I believe that if the top rookies
Speaker 1: landed in these three locations, they had a chance to
Speaker 1: be the number one primary target from day one, and
Speaker 1: DeVonta Smith hit one of those spots. Jamar Chase hit
Speaker 1: one of those spots. And we'll talk about another player
Speaker 1: later who I believe landed in that situation as well.
Speaker 1: DeVonta Smith is walking into and I'd be willing to
Speaker 1: bet whomever a hundred plus targets day one. He's competing
Speaker 1: with Greg Ward, Jalen Reagor, who now moves back to
Speaker 1: his natural slot position, JJ Arthago Whiteside, and Travis Folgham
Speaker 1: and Quez Watkins. That's it, Peter. You were concerned earned
Speaker 1: about Jalen Hurts and Ceedee Lamb in hurts final season
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma, and he supported Ceedee Lamb. Just fine. He
Speaker 1: is going to force feed they If you listen to
Speaker 1: Syrianny talk about what they wanted out of a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: what they did in order to draft DeVante Smith. He
Speaker 1: is going to be a p PR machine for Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts in Philadelphia. I think he should be, like, there
Speaker 1: is no question the moment he steps on the field
Speaker 1: there he's the best wide receiver that they have. He
Speaker 1: was a top shom pick. He's going to be fed
Speaker 1: the ball wide receiver. Two. Okay, so what is the
Speaker 1: lowest Just call like call it here for everyone who's listening.
Speaker 1: What is the lowest that DeVante Smith should still be
Speaker 1: on the board in a one QB dynasty Rickey draft
Speaker 1: where you say, like, if he's drafted at the one
Speaker 1: oh seven, people are doing it wrong. If he's drafted
Speaker 1: at the one oh six, Like you've got to take
Speaker 1: him here. What's that lowest spot for you? Probably the
Speaker 1: one oh six, one six, one oh seven. That's that's
Speaker 1: as low as it a go. That that's it. The
Speaker 1: two of the running backs, Chase Pits and I think
Speaker 1: Smith needs to be coming off the board right right
Speaker 1: after like in that Javante Williams change. Yeah, okay, all right.
Speaker 1: So there was a lot of discussion about who the
Speaker 1: wide receiver four off the board was going to be
Speaker 1: in the NFL draft right right? Was it going to
Speaker 1: be Rashad Bateman? Would Elijah Moore sneak his way into
Speaker 1: that conversation? And if you had asked me just taking
Speaker 1: like the draft order and the positions that people were in,
Speaker 1: the needs everything, if you had just taken that out
Speaker 1: of the conversation and you had just said, like, rank
Speaker 1: the thirty two NFL general managers in order of who
Speaker 1: you think is going to draft Cadarius Tony. Dave Getleman
Speaker 1: would have been at the straight bottom of the list,
Speaker 1: Like I would not have predicted that Dave Getleman would
Speaker 1: go after Cadarius Tony. But he's the wide receiver four
Speaker 1: off the board there in that trade down situation at
Speaker 1: number twenty overall with the Chicago Bears. So Tony now
Speaker 1: lands in a ridiculous lee loaded offense as far as
Speaker 1: mouse to feed Kenny Golladay, Darius Layton, Sterling Shepherd, Evan Ingram,
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph, Saquon Barkley out of the backfield, DeVante Booker too.
Speaker 1: Like there are just so many freaking mounts defeat in
Speaker 1: this offense. So Kadarius Tony gets the draft capital. He's
Speaker 1: got the athleticism, he's got the speed, he's got the
Speaker 1: talent to be a fantasy football just stud now. But
Speaker 1: does this offense, does this landing spot kind of scare
Speaker 1: you off of him a little bit? Not really, man,
Speaker 1: I mean he's better than Darius Layton. I think he's
Speaker 1: a more improved version of Sterling Shepherd. Evan Ingram has
Speaker 1: not been reliable or consistent. Kyle Rudolph, please and Kenny Golladay.
Speaker 1: You know, he's got his role, which is quite different
Speaker 1: from Kadarius Tony. I think the biggest threat to Tony
Speaker 1: is sae Quon Barkley with those short area targets. But
Speaker 1: they picked him at twenty four reason And I know
Speaker 1: a lot of the fantasy community just doesn't like Darius Tony,
Speaker 1: but he got the draft capital and he's in a
Speaker 1: division that's poised to score a ton of points in
Speaker 1: the NFC East. I'm listen, I'm seeing him come off
Speaker 1: with the board late third round in rookie drafts. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Like I listen, I like it. I don't hate the
Speaker 1: spot at all for him. And let's not forget situations
Speaker 1: change really really quick in the NFL. So I'm I'm in.
Speaker 1: I'm Tony Man now. I think that Tony gets the
Speaker 1: starting role over Sterling Shepherd if this is If anything,
Speaker 1: this just kind of buries Sterling Shepherd and any hope
Speaker 1: that we kind of had for him for Fantasy next year.
Speaker 1: I think that he's just kind of done and so
Speaker 1: and he's never really been some of that I've been
Speaker 1: high on in the past. So I think that Darius
Speaker 1: Layton is going to see like his two to three
Speaker 1: targets per game, he's gonna be that field stretcher for
Speaker 1: this offense. I really don't think that he is going
Speaker 1: to have much of a role. There is a path
Speaker 1: to targets now. I haven't sat down and done projections yet,
Speaker 1: so I just don't know how much is this team
Speaker 1: going to pass the ball? Are they still going to
Speaker 1: rely on their running game? Are they still going to
Speaker 1: rely on their defense? And they're just trying to do
Speaker 1: everything they can to give Daniel Jones playmakers around him.
Speaker 1: So I just don't know what the overall like outlook
Speaker 1: is here for Tony just yet. But for him to
Speaker 1: go in the third round, the late second, that's just
Speaker 1: that's too much value that you I'll put it to you.
Speaker 1: I ask you with Devantae Smith, what's the lowest that
Speaker 1: you think that you're pulling the trigger on Kadarius Tony
Speaker 1: And you're saying like, if he's at this point, like
Speaker 1: I have to take him off the board. I mean,
Speaker 1: if he's sitting there at you know, in that two
Speaker 1: oh three range, two oh four, like I think that's
Speaker 1: where you should be gone. You know, late second, third
Speaker 1: round is ridiculous man. So I'm middle of the second
Speaker 1: Lowest from me with Caadarius Tony. Okay. Before we keep
Speaker 1: moving with today's episode of the Fantasy Pros Dynasty Football Podcast,
Speaker 1: I need to tell you all about Reality Sports Online.
Speaker 1: By now, most of you have probably heard of Reality

Speaker 1: fantasy just got real at Reality Sports online dot Com.
Speaker 1: So Rashad Bateman lands in Baltimore, there gets the first
Speaker 1: round draft capital, which is great. Baltimore finally invests in
Speaker 1: a wide receiver that is so different than what they've had. Right,
Speaker 1: Miles Boykin is just that like athletic blocking receiver. Really
Speaker 1: wasn't ever going to be someone that you could rely
Speaker 1: on for fantasy. Marquis Brown is kind of that just
Speaker 1: speed guy, but he's so inconsistent. They didn't have that
Speaker 1: route runner, they didn't have this possession style receiver who
Speaker 1: was going to be able to help Lamar Jackson. So
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman here, obviously it's not as great of a
Speaker 1: landing spot with a team that is so passed happy.
Speaker 1: Right if he had fallen just a little bit further
Speaker 1: and got into like a Green Bay or something like that,
Speaker 1: you know, it would have been just fantastic and we
Speaker 1: would have been seeing him go off the board within
Speaker 1: the top five of the rookie drafts. Right. But here
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, what is kind of your outlook here for Bateman?
Speaker 1: Because I'm I'm certainly not as high on the landing spot.
Speaker 1: But yet I'm not going to completely bury him like
Speaker 1: he's still I think I haven't met like number ten
Speaker 1: overall on my Dynasty Big Board in one QB format.
Speaker 1: So I still am a fan of Rashad Bateman here.
Speaker 1: But let's hear your thoughts. I'm with you. I think
Speaker 1: he's I still think he's a first round pick in
Speaker 1: single quarterback leagues in Dynasty Rickie drafts. He should be
Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver in Baltimore. The problem is
Speaker 1: they just don't throw the ball a lot. If you
Speaker 1: go back to Lamar Jackson's college stats, He's never supported
Speaker 1: a thousand yard receiver. Greg Roman's off it's passing offense
Speaker 1: their best season. I believe they the team finished twenty
Speaker 1: third in the NFL and passing that's the best that
Speaker 1: a Greg Roman offense has ever done. And they didn't
Speaker 1: do that with a Russian quarterback like Lamar Jackson, because
Speaker 1: we really haven't seen a Russian quarterback like Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: So the question is how much does the wide receiver
Speaker 1: one in Baltimore really matter opposed to maybe a high
Speaker 1: end wide receiver two, like a T. Higgins, like you know,
Speaker 1: a player like maybe a Roundell Moore. So I am
Speaker 1: still on board with Rashad Bateman. I'm not knocking him
Speaker 1: out of my first round. I still like him a lot.
Speaker 1: He's still a top five receiver for me in the
Speaker 1: rookie class. But this landing spot definitely caps is his ceiling,
Speaker 1: caps his upside. So there's another landing spot here with
Speaker 1: the next wide receiver off the board that I'm really
Speaker 1: interested to hear your specific thoughts on, because with Elijah Moore,
Speaker 1: I was a little bit further down on him than
Speaker 1: the consensus. I know that I know that you were
Speaker 1: a fan of his heading into the NFL Draft. Now
Speaker 1: he lands here in New York, which you look at
Speaker 1: the quarterback that they just brought in with Zach Wilson.
Speaker 1: They invest significant draft capital in Elijah Moore. They're at
Speaker 1: the top of the second round, and you're thinking, like,
Speaker 1: all right, this is actually pretty good, Like Elijah Moore
Speaker 1: looks like he's set to be a fantasy football stud.
Speaker 1: But then you run through the rest of that roster
Speaker 1: and you say, Okay, Corey Davis, Denzel Mims, Keelan Cole.
Speaker 1: They're in town too. They brought in free agency Jamison
Speaker 1: Crowder is still on the roster. Braxton Barrios. I feel
Speaker 1: like they've got someone else there too that I'm forgetting
Speaker 1: off the top of my head. So they've got it's
Speaker 1: a pretty loaded receiving course. So I do expect Jamison
Speaker 1: Crowder to be cut by week I don't think he's
Speaker 1: going to be on that roster by week one of
Speaker 1: the NFL season. But in an offense, if they are
Speaker 1: truly bringing over michaela Floor's offense or Kyle Shanahan's offense
Speaker 1: with Michaelafloor, this isn't going to be a team that
Speaker 1: really throws the ball at Ton. So give me your
Speaker 1: fantasy football outlook here on Elijah Moore, do you think
Speaker 1: that this was his best possible landing spot and just
Speaker 1: kind of where are you looking to take him and
Speaker 1: get him off the board in one QB rookie drafts? Yeah,
Speaker 1: middle of the second I don't think again, rookie euphoria.
Speaker 1: You know people are saying he's the number one how right? Right? What?
Speaker 1: What are we? What are we doing? It's Corey Davis.
Speaker 1: I mean Denzel Mims was the second round pick. He's
Speaker 1: also six foot three, two hundred plus pounds and just
Speaker 1: as much of a freek athlete as a run right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you still have Chris Herndon. There is Jamison. I mean,
Speaker 1: no man at best, he's what the third receiver on
Speaker 1: that team. I wasn't thrilled about the landing spot, and
Speaker 1: I know rookie Euphoria, we love him. I'm just middle
Speaker 1: of the second for me, for Elijah More and I
Speaker 1: like to play a lot. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm kind
Speaker 1: of in that middle of a second, late second is
Speaker 1: where I'd be willing to pull the trigger. I'm obviously
Speaker 1: not going to say that because once you get into
Speaker 1: the third round, you're going like, Okay, who are these players?
Speaker 1: So I think that once Yeah, that mid second, late
Speaker 1: second is where I personally would be willing to pull
Speaker 1: the trigger. But just based on where I had him
Speaker 1: in pre draft rankings, I'm walking out of my rookie
Speaker 1: drafts and I have zero shares of Elijah Moore just
Speaker 1: across the board, and with this landing spot, honestly, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of fine with it. All right, So Rondale Moore,
Speaker 1: your guy lands here in Arizona. Which men pass happy offense? Right?
Speaker 1: You talk about an offense that seems set to be
Speaker 1: able to utilize his abilities or his skill set to
Speaker 1: the best of their abilities. So, Rondale Moore here in Arizona,
Speaker 1: You've got DeAndre Hopkins, You've got AJ Green, and maybe
Speaker 1: the ghost of AJ Green at this point of his career.
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald seems like he's not coming back into town.
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. They spend a second round pick on Rondale Moore.
Speaker 1: Was this your favorite landing spot for Rondale Moore And
Speaker 1: where are you at now with him heading into twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one? Yeah? I loved it. I thought this was
Speaker 1: one of the spots that I talked about him being
Speaker 1: one of those sweet spots for him. I mean, you
Speaker 1: gotta they have no tight end of consequence, and I
Speaker 1: think you know Rondale is going to soak up a
Speaker 1: ton of those short area targets, getting the ball in
Speaker 1: his hands quick. I wouldn't be shocked to see him
Speaker 1: carry the ball out of the backfield utilized in that
Speaker 1: Robert Woods type role. I think he's one of the
Speaker 1: unicorns in this class that can produce high end fantasy
Speaker 1: numbers in a non traditional way for a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: You know, just soaking up targets and receptions, carrying the ball,
Speaker 1: being dynamic. I love love this spot for one of
Speaker 1: the most athletic talents that we've seen come through in
Speaker 1: a very long time. Love it for Rondel Moore. Is
Speaker 1: he still in your first round? Hell? Yeah, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: ain't fallen out of the first No way perfect, all right,
Speaker 1: so let's keep moving here. Dwayne Eskridge the next wide
Speaker 1: receiver off the board. Here to Seattle. Now. I told
Speaker 1: everyone that he was going to get significant draft capital.
Speaker 1: People did not believe me. And he goes within the
Speaker 1: second round. He goes into the second round, he goes
Speaker 1: before Terrorist Marshall. He goes to a team that has
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson as his quarterback and an offense that is changing.
Speaker 1: This is a different offense than what we've seen underneath
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer the past couple of seasons. They bring over Shane
Speaker 1: Waldron from Los Angeles. He's going to be implementing that
Speaker 1: type of offense. So you're gonna see the really well
Speaker 1: balanced offense here. Of course, Russell Wilson as his quarterback.
Speaker 1: I just feel like they in a draft that they
Speaker 1: only had three total picks in heading in they did
Speaker 1: have an offer on the table to move down. It
Speaker 1: fell through, but they were fine stay and put and
Speaker 1: bringing in a guy that they absolutely loved. And so
Speaker 1: Dwayne Eskridge here going off the board to Seattle. I
Speaker 1: loved him going into the NFL draft. Obviously I had
Speaker 1: him as wide receiver five. I'm stoked about this landing
Speaker 1: spot man, and I think that the depressed ADP that
Speaker 1: he has right now, like I'm seeing him go off
Speaker 1: the board, like people are tagging me in Twitter saying
Speaker 1: he's going in the fourth round of their rookie drafts,
Speaker 1: like what are we doing? Like this is a fantastic
Speaker 1: player who cares his age, Like please please stop? Who
Speaker 1: cares about his age? That has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: his talent on the football field. If he if you
Speaker 1: want to classify him as an outlier, reigin, I were
Speaker 1: talking about this before the show and now I'm worked up.
Speaker 1: So if you if you want to classify him as
Speaker 1: an outlier at that age, and you personally do not
Speaker 1: want to take him, that's fine. Don't take him. I
Speaker 1: think you're going to regret it, but don't take him,
Speaker 1: then that's fine, But do not discredit what he can
Speaker 1: do on the football field because the Seahawks brought him
Speaker 1: in intentionally they had a huge role on this offense
Speaker 1: to fill as the wide receiver three. And then what
Speaker 1: happens if something happens to Tyler Lockett, if something happens
Speaker 1: the DK Metcalf. Now Dwayne Eskridge is the wide receiver
Speaker 1: two on this offense and he's got Russell Wilson as
Speaker 1: his quarterback. Like all of this just goes together for
Speaker 1: me to say, like, walk out of every dynasty rookie
Speaker 1: draft that you are in with Dwayne Eskridge. Listen, Yates,
Speaker 1: I really cannot add anything onto that. You nailed it,
Speaker 1: And I'll just say it's It's frustrating, isn't it. That's
Speaker 1: That's exactly how I feel about Mac Jones and defending
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. It's frustrating because you can't put on the
Speaker 1: tape and just look at him play football and say
Speaker 1: he stinks right, and landing on an offense with Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: you not much speed is on that field, Like what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do with that? So him, come, this
Speaker 1: is my I please hear me out everyone listening at
Speaker 1: this point, take lock will ruin you in rookie drafts.
Speaker 1: It will wreck your dynasty roster, doesn't matter what you
Speaker 1: thought before it. Like the NFL told us how they
Speaker 1: value these guys. And if you're passing on Dwayne Askcridge
Speaker 1: in that late second, in the third, and even in
Speaker 1: the fourth round, you're doing it wrong, man, Like, get
Speaker 1: this pre draft narrative crap out of your head and
Speaker 1: bet on the player that was drafted in the second
Speaker 1: round tethered to a Hall of Fame quarterback and he
Speaker 1: can play and he can play right right. So I'm
Speaker 1: glad that you included that last part because there is
Speaker 1: a rookie wide receiver who is drafted in the second
Speaker 1: round who is attached to it arguably future Hall of
Speaker 1: famer if matt with Matthew Stafford, I think if he
Speaker 1: improves over the and make some playoff runs, I think
Speaker 1: he can get in that conversation, but I don't think
Speaker 1: that he can play all that well, at least at
Speaker 1: his weight. Like I've got concerns about it. Two too
Speaker 1: at well, Los Angeles, Rams, what are you doing you
Speaker 1: draft two too at Well in the second round ahead
Speaker 1: of someone like Terrace Marshall, where I had at Well
Speaker 1: at like wide receiver, he was my fun like I did.
Speaker 1: I had him at the last spot of the wide
Speaker 1: receivers that I graded it. I think I'd graded and
Speaker 1: evaluated twenty eight wide receivers in this class. At Well
Speaker 1: was that wide receiver twenty eight and you take him
Speaker 1: in the second round. I just do not understand one
Speaker 1: his fit in this offense. Where is he gonna play?
Speaker 1: Because you now have Robert Woods, Cooper Cup, DeShawn Jackson,
Speaker 1: Van Jefferson, Like, Where's he gonna play? I just don't
Speaker 1: understand why they completely said that we could get two
Speaker 1: too at Well in the fourth round easy. No one
Speaker 1: was going to be taken him then, and we spend
Speaker 1: a second round pick on him. I just do not
Speaker 1: understand it. Can you can you help help here? So
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I don't think he would have been
Speaker 1: there in the fourth man, And I'm just gonna give
Speaker 1: credit where credit is due. Talking heads in the industry
Speaker 1: had been talking about two two at Well being a
Speaker 1: late first second round pick for months. Man, I mean
Speaker 1: death taxes and speed in the NFL speed kills, and
Speaker 1: you know we see GM's year after year draft these
Speaker 1: players that are absolute blazers, and you know two two
Speaker 1: did not run as fast as he looks like he plays.
Speaker 1: But coming into the season, I was a little bit
Speaker 1: higher on a Well Man. I was really like, man,
Speaker 1: I liked this player like he has a skill, as
Speaker 1: Liam Nielsen says, he's got a particular set of skills, right.
Speaker 1: And when you bring Matt Stafford over, Cooper Cup and
Speaker 1: Robert Woods are not downfield threats. They're underneath receivers, yat
Speaker 1: kind of guys. Deshan Jackson is a speed threat down
Speaker 1: the field and outside of that, they don't really have that.
Speaker 1: And when you've got a big armed quarterback in Matthew Stafford,
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see I'm not saying consistency, but
Speaker 1: we are going to seem moonshots from Stafford to Atwell.
Speaker 1: And being drafted in the second round, he's gonna play.
Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't waste the second round pick on
Speaker 1: him for not to play. Maybe they did with Van Jefferson,
Speaker 1: but Van Jefferson, but yeah, two two is a different
Speaker 1: cat man. The only other guy to have on that
Speaker 1: team like that is DeShawn Jackson, and d Jackson's gonna
Speaker 1: play two games and that's gonna be it. So again,
Speaker 1: my whole thing is if he's there late third, I'll
Speaker 1: take I'm seeing him come off the board like late fourth,
Speaker 1: like I think he should go a little higher than that.
Speaker 1: So my thing is like what you say, like he's
Speaker 1: gonna be that deep field option. And I just have
Speaker 1: concerns about him getting off press coverage, like if you're
Speaker 1: going to be utilizing him as that player, like if
Speaker 1: he gets if he an NFL defender gets his hands
Speaker 1: in him within the first five yards, like he's being rerouted,
Speaker 1: like he's there at one hundred and forty nine pounds,
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna happen. So I just I have concerns
Speaker 1: about that. I saw him feeling more of a like
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin role in the NFL versus a DeShawn Jackson
Speaker 1: role in the NFL. And I could be wrong, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, But as far as our conversation
Speaker 1: of outliers, like this is an outlier that I am
Speaker 1: personally not willing to bet on, I do not have
Speaker 1: at well on my Dynasty big board. I will gladly
Speaker 1: let someone else take that shot on him. Now, for
Speaker 1: everything that he does well, he is incredibly fast, he
Speaker 1: is incredibly explosive, He can bring some juice to an offense. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I just don't see that translating to enough consistent production
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective for us to say, like to
Speaker 1: look back in a year and say, like, man, I'm
Speaker 1: really glad that I grabbed at Will here in the
Speaker 1: third round. I just I just don't see it all right, man,
Speaker 1: We need to keep moving. So, Arris Marshall here, the
Speaker 1: wide receiver lands in Carolina. Now he goes a little
Speaker 1: bit later than the national consensus had on Terris Marshall there.
Speaker 1: This was right around the range that I was projecting
Speaker 1: him to land. Now, it's just kind of the question
Speaker 1: of was it his injury history what led to him falling?
Speaker 1: But reuniting with Joe Brady, his offensive coordinator at LSU
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, falls into an offense that has DJ Moore,
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson, Sam Donald is his quarterback now. So Terris
Speaker 1: Marshall here, you were a little bit higher on him
Speaker 1: than I was. What's kind of your outlook for Marshall
Speaker 1: moving forward? And then the rest of these guys will
Speaker 1: just kind of list them off and we'll just say
Speaker 1: if we have interest in him, I think he's fine. Man,
Speaker 1: I think people are overreacting. They're doing this offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: connection to wide receiver. But I think he's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: But I'm not. I'm not seeing high end fantasy assets,
Speaker 1: so I mean, he's fine. It's DJ Moore still there,
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson is there. They brought in Dan Arnold. They've
Speaker 1: got Christian McCaffrey coming back. I like him, he's he's
Speaker 1: not great to me, and he had bad knees, a
Speaker 1: bad knee apparently, and that's what caused that fall. So
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. But I probably won't have a
Speaker 1: lot of Marshall unless he just happens to be there.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of other guys that will probably touch
Speaker 1: on real quick that I like a lot more than Marshall.
Speaker 1: Who would you rather have? Who would you rather walk
Speaker 1: out of? With the mid second Dynasty rookie pick? Would
Speaker 1: you rather have Kadarius Tony or would you rather have
Speaker 1: Terris Marshall Tony? Okay, all right, So Josh Palmer lands
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles with the Chargers. This was very early.
Speaker 1: I didn't even scout Palmer because he was kind of
Speaker 1: further down on national boards there. So Josh Palmer Lands
Speaker 1: they gets the third round draft capital with the Chargers
Speaker 1: tied to Justin Herbert. Any interest in Palmer there, yep,
Speaker 1: one of them? I mean third round pick, Day two pick.
Speaker 1: Who do they have? Is that third wide receiver Tyrn
Speaker 1: Johnson or Jalen Guiden. Yeah, I'm I'm on with Palmer.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know anything about him. I literally
Speaker 1: was watching today, but Justin Herbert third round pick, I'm on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you might have to wait a little bit
Speaker 1: for Palmer to return value. But based on the tape
Speaker 1: that I've watched after the NFL Draft, I think that
Speaker 1: he can make an impact, So I don't I just
Speaker 1: don't know if that's going to happen immediately. So if
Speaker 1: you are spending that third round pick on him, make
Speaker 1: sure that you're prepared to be waiting. Dammy Brown goes
Speaker 1: a little bit later here to Washington. I love this
Speaker 1: landing spot for Diammy Brown, honestly, with Ryan Fitzpatrick as
Speaker 1: his quarterback. Opening things oh, okay, opening things up, yeah,
Speaker 1: opening things up for Terry McLaurin. Curtis Samuel underneath right,
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel underneath Terry McLaurin is that intermediate Diamy Brown
Speaker 1: being that field stretcher. Now, I thought that Diamy Brown
Speaker 1: was kind of a one trick pony as far as
Speaker 1: what he does, which is being that field stretcher deep
Speaker 1: down field, being able to make those contested catches, jaw
Speaker 1: dropping catches. I didn't see him having this like wide
Speaker 1: receiver one kind of production where he can be utilized
Speaker 1: at every level of the field. I thought he had
Speaker 1: inconsistent hands underneath. So this is kind of that spot
Speaker 1: where I say, like Ryan Fitzpatrick, who just is willing
Speaker 1: to like throw it up to a spot and better
Speaker 1: hope and hope that his receivers there. Like he's just
Speaker 1: shown that he's willing to just throw it and throw
Speaker 1: it all over the yard. I kind of like it
Speaker 1: for Diamy Brown. Now, I had him a little bit lower.
Speaker 1: I had him at wide receiver twelve. He went off
Speaker 1: the board as the wide receiver twelve. So I think
Speaker 1: that if I can get him in the early third
Speaker 1: round of a Dynasty rookie draft, Yeah, I'm pulling the
Speaker 1: trigger there. Yeah, I mean they're in the third Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm seeing him come off the board mid second towards
Speaker 1: like the ten two nine spot. I just I'm not
Speaker 1: I mean Logan Thomas, Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think he's another one of these guys that is
Speaker 1: going to help out the offense. He'll have some boom
Speaker 1: bust weeks, but you'll never feel confident starting him, and
Speaker 1: I don't see that changing for the foreseeable future. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna overtake McLaurin. He's not gonna overtake Curtis Samuels.
Speaker 1: At best, he's wide receiver three on the Washington team
Speaker 1: who's probably gonna have a new quarterback in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: Fair fine, Yeah, it's fine. Amari Rodgers talking about a
Speaker 1: team that might have a new quarterback, Amari Rodgers drafted
Speaker 1: to Green Bay. Kind of that Randall Cobb gonna fill
Speaker 1: this role. Any interest here with Rogers in Green Bay? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I like it, like the fit. Hopefully he's catching balls
Speaker 1: from Aaron Rodgers. That's gonna be the big difference there
Speaker 1: if you move on. If Rogers does follow through with
Speaker 1: this and he's not in Green Bay next year, man,
Speaker 1: that's talking about a weird situation. Another weird situation here
Speaker 1: is Nico Collins the next wide receiver off the ball
Speaker 1: landing in Houston. Talk about a wide range of outcomes here. Man,
Speaker 1: if Collins gets Deshaun Watson as his quarterback, which is
Speaker 1: now looking more and more likely, that like that is
Speaker 1: not going to be the case. But in the rare
Speaker 1: situation and kind of situation that it does happen, where
Speaker 1: he has Watson thrown into the ball and a team
Speaker 1: that's just gonna be terrible next season and gonna have
Speaker 1: to throw the ball, eight Ton Collins could be a
Speaker 1: fantasy football stud right out of the gate. But the
Speaker 1: other side of it is that he's got Tyrod Taylor
Speaker 1: or Davis Mills throwing him the ball. So Nico Collins
Speaker 1: any interest there? Yeah? And let's not forget Brandon Cooks
Speaker 1: is still there quietly one of the more underfrated wide
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL. So regardless if it's Watson or not,
Speaker 1: I don't think stud is in his realistic outcomes this season.
Speaker 1: He's a draft in stash for me. I do think
Speaker 1: that when Houston drafts a quarterback the future in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, he's got a good chance to finally break out.
Speaker 1: So I like him kind of think think Brian Edwards
Speaker 1: with Nico Collins. Sure, okay, so let's do this Ray,
Speaker 1: any of the other guys that were mentioned here, I'll
Speaker 1: give you. I'll give you the opportunity to mention three
Speaker 1: names here, right, So three names at the wide receiver
Speaker 1: position out of the rest of the guys that were drafted,
Speaker 1: that you want to point out here and say, I'm
Speaker 1: looking to walk out of my dynasty rookie draft with
Speaker 1: these three guys? Yeah, Can I just name one? I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't even have to name three. Can I just
Speaker 1: drop one on you real quick, because I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be the same. I think it's the same name.
Speaker 1: I mean it's I'm in Ross Saint Brown. I talked
Speaker 1: about those honey spot landing spots the Detroit Lions were one.
Speaker 1: He's competing with targets with Calif Raymond, Tyroll Williams, and
Speaker 1: Braschard Perryman. I truly believe, even though he was drafted
Speaker 1: in the fourth round, he's walking into a situation much
Speaker 1: like Terry McLaurin did his rookie year, where I believe
Speaker 1: that Amra has the potential to lead that wide receiver
Speaker 1: corps and targets as a rookie. I have more faith
Speaker 1: in him than Calif Raymond, Tom Kennedy. They've got Grono
Speaker 1: Allison on the roster he's got He's got to get
Speaker 1: quintest Cefist, Tyrell Williams and Burchard Perry Man. If if
Speaker 1: he can't come in and our boy Mike, our partner
Speaker 1: Mike Taglier talked about you know that the hit rate
Speaker 1: of fourth round wide receivers. If Alman Rock can't start
Speaker 1: in three wide receiver sets, then the problem is much
Speaker 1: bigger than him being a fourth round pick. I think
Speaker 1: he's probably the most talented receiver on that team, and
Speaker 1: in single quarterback rankings, I have him ranked ahead of
Speaker 1: Terrace Marshall and Mary Rogers, Kadarius Tony, Nico Collins, all
Speaker 1: of them. I'm very bullish on Alman Ross Saint Brown.
Speaker 1: I'm in two dynasty rookie drafts right now at least,
Speaker 1: or have gotten through two of them, and I've walked
Speaker 1: out with Alman Ross Saint Brown in both of them.
Speaker 1: I am not leaving a draft without Saint Monny and
Speaker 1: another guy that I will just kind of throw out
Speaker 1: here later on is Dad's Newsome in Chicago. Chicago has
Speaker 1: talked about moving on from Anthony Miller. Now you have
Speaker 1: Justin Field stepping into this offense. Dad's Newsome I really
Speaker 1: liked on tape. Now, the testing numbers did not justify
Speaker 1: what we saw or kind of back up what we
Speaker 1: saw on tape. So he fell a little bit six pick.
Speaker 1: He's got an uphill battle, but he absolutely can carve
Speaker 1: out a rule for himself on this team and potentially
Speaker 1: to be a starting slot receiver sooner rather than later
Speaker 1: catching passes from Justin Fields. Yeah, signed me up. I
Speaker 1: think he's got the talent to be a factor. So
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that as a like fourth round pick,
Speaker 1: if you can get Dad's Newsom there later on, I
Speaker 1: absolutely think you should do that. Let's breathe through these
Speaker 1: tight ends, man, because there really was not a lot
Speaker 1: that we need to talk about Kyle Pitts, Like we
Speaker 1: talked about him a ton, he lands in a great
Speaker 1: situation in Atlanta, like he's He's still in the same
Speaker 1: spot for me where we were saying off the board
Speaker 1: within the first six rookie picks, right, are you in
Speaker 1: that same boat now? Yep, yep, yea, yeah. I really
Speaker 1: there's nothing that we need to talk about with he's
Speaker 1: he's going to eat in this offense. Pat Fryarmouth follow
Speaker 1: us a little bit further than I thought he was
Speaker 1: going to Lance in Pittsburgh now loaded offense, Juju Smith, Schuster,
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson, Chase Claypool, Eric Ebron is still there, and
Speaker 1: then Naji Harris. Now like, so, I don't know what
Speaker 1: Pat Fryarmouth is gonna give you in year one, but
Speaker 1: when Eric Ebron moved on in his contracts up at
Speaker 1: the end of this year, and then you potentially have
Speaker 1: Juju moving on, Like I think that Pat Friarmouth, they
Speaker 1: obviously when needs on the offensive line, they set out
Speaker 1: and they said, we want to bring in Friedmouth. And
Speaker 1: I was a big believer in his talent previously. So
Speaker 1: I'm a late second, early third. I'm willing to pull
Speaker 1: the trigger on Friedmouth, sit him on my bench, and
Speaker 1: say let him develop. A year he might flash here
Speaker 1: or there, but then in twenty twenty two, I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be wheels up for him. That's the play.
Speaker 1: That's the play is this is an investment. You get
Speaker 1: this tight end, and we talked about this in our show.
Speaker 1: I think he's a top ten dynasty tight end, So
Speaker 1: we might not reap the reward here in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: but I promise you bout twenty twenty two it's gonna
Speaker 1: be wheels up Friarmuth there. That's kind of the theme
Speaker 1: here with the rest of these tight ends. Was an investment,
Speaker 1: right Hunter Long the third tight end off the board
Speaker 1: in Miami, You're really not going to see anything from
Speaker 1: him in year one with Mike Asiki there. I think
Speaker 1: that he's more of a long term play. I'm fine
Speaker 1: pulling the trigger on him in the fourth round of
Speaker 1: a one QB format Tommy Tremble in Carolina. I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit more interested in this one than Hunter Long personally.
Speaker 1: I think that in this offense, with Ian Thomas as
Speaker 1: really his only competition on the roster, that Tremble could
Speaker 1: carve out a role for himself immediately. Now. I think
Speaker 1: that he needs time to develop to the NFL level
Speaker 1: to become a like, truly reliable fantasy option, But Tremble,
Speaker 1: I think sooner rather than later can provide some consistent
Speaker 1: fantasy outputs. So what's your kind of thoughts there on
Speaker 1: Hunter Long? Yeah, I think Long the pick for Hunter
Speaker 1: long signals they're probably not going to extend Mike Gasecki
Speaker 1: um or maybe not at the price that he wants,
Speaker 1: and he might test free agency tremble. I think that
Speaker 1: was more just I think that was more of a
Speaker 1: blocking move. I don't I don't know. Man. He's a
Speaker 1: fantastic blocker and they got Dan Arnold there who's can't block.
Speaker 1: So I think that was more of a move to upgrade. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I temporarily forgot they brought in Daniel. Yes, I think
Speaker 1: he's more of a blocking tight end. And even though
Speaker 1: he's the third tight end or fourth tight end off
Speaker 1: the board, I'm still kind of not really interested. Sure,
Speaker 1: the only other guy and just correct me if you
Speaker 1: got or like point out if you've got anyone else.
Speaker 1: The only other guy that I think we should talk
Speaker 1: about is Brevin Jordan because he fell further than what
Speaker 1: we thought. He lands in Houston and in the fifth round,
Speaker 1: which is just crazy comparative to what we had kind
Speaker 1: of expected heading into the year. So Brevin Jordan here
Speaker 1: in Houston, he's got a path to be able to
Speaker 1: carve out a role for himself. But this draft capital
Speaker 1: scares the crap out of me. At the tight end position. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does. I'll just say that Houston is just you
Speaker 1: know what show right right. And Brevin Jordan, I mean,
Speaker 1: the only person he's competing with is Jordan Nakins, I believe,
Speaker 1: so who's like thirty eight years old or how old
Speaker 1: he is. I still think it's sneaky man. I thinks
Speaker 1: he's another one of those investment tight ends. Probably nothing
Speaker 1: this year, but you know, maybe next year you have
Speaker 1: something on your hands, or two years down the line.
Speaker 1: I'm still still kind of interested with with Brevin Jordan.
Speaker 1: I think he's a taxi squad player. Like, He's someone
Speaker 1: that I'm fine stashing on my taxi squad and seeing
Speaker 1: what happens. I'm not I don't know if I'm willing
Speaker 1: to burn a draft pick on him, man, obviously, Like,
Speaker 1: and it all depends on, you know, how deep my
Speaker 1: league is and stuff like that, But with a fourth
Speaker 1: round pick, man, I'm personally willing to be I'd be
Speaker 1: more willing to take the shot on one Hunter Long
Speaker 1: or Tommy Tremble, like I'd be fine scooping up Jordan
Speaker 1: in you know, off a free agency and waiver wire
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and stashing on my taxi squad.
Speaker 1: I just don't know if I'm willing to burn a
Speaker 1: draft pick on him. All right, So we that is
Speaker 1: the end of the discussion for wide receiver and tight end.
Speaker 1: But please do not tune out just yet, because Ray
Speaker 1: and I have something that we want to talk through
Speaker 1: as far as a housekeeping item here for the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Pros Dynasty Football podcast. What I'm gonna do here is
Speaker 1: I'm going to just back up and I'm going to
Speaker 1: give Ray the floor because he's got something that he
Speaker 1: wants to talk about, and then and then we'll go
Speaker 1: from there. So, Ray, what do you want to kind
Speaker 1: of just tell the people what's been going on? What
Speaker 1: do you want to say here? Yeah, first of all,
Speaker 1: I just want to thank Fantasy Pros for this opportunity
Speaker 1: to kick off a Dynasty podcast with somebody that I
Speaker 1: respect tremendously in U Kyle. This was this was something
Speaker 1: we kind of dreamed about, and we talked about it,
Speaker 1: and we figured it out and we got it off
Speaker 1: the ground. And you know, every day that we wake
Speaker 1: up and we see tweets from people saying that they
Speaker 1: love the show and they appreciate the show just it
Speaker 1: really makes us feel. It makes me feel good because
Speaker 1: I know we're doing something that's helping people be better
Speaker 1: fantasy managers fantasy gamers. But unfortunately for me, some new
Speaker 1: opportunities came about in real work, like I don't do
Speaker 1: this full time. I've got I've got a full time job,
Speaker 1: and with two kids, things have just gotten really, really hectic.
Speaker 1: So because of that, I am going to have to
Speaker 1: step away from this show. Very tough decision. But I
Speaker 1: just want to tell tell you, tell the entire Fantasy
Speaker 1: Pro staff how appreciative I've been, how flexible you guys
Speaker 1: have been with me through this process. And I'll just
Speaker 1: tell everybody out there that there are good things coming
Speaker 1: from this show. It is not going away. They're going
Speaker 1: to keep going and you'll probably see me on a
Speaker 1: show here or there down the line. But just want
Speaker 1: to take this opportunity to thank every one of the listeners,
Speaker 1: all of our partners and sponsors, and you most importantly Kyle,
Speaker 1: because this has been This has been really fun going
Speaker 1: through this draft season with you, man. So I just
Speaker 1: want to say thank you to everybody, and y'all stay
Speaker 1: tapped in absolutely. I will say this that you know,
Speaker 1: obviously this is tough for us to swallow, right for
Speaker 1: Ray to move on, and again he's doing it. He's
Speaker 1: doing this though for all the right reasons. Like here
Speaker 1: at Fantasy Pros, we're all about like working hard, right,
Speaker 1: like we put in the work. But yet we are
Speaker 1: so so locked into having that healthy work and life balance, right,
Speaker 1: that work life balance. And I think that Ray stepping
Speaker 1: away because he's got some awesome things happening in real work,
Speaker 1: right getting that promotion, which is awesome, Ray, like for
Speaker 1: you to be able to step out and do some
Speaker 1: amazing things and then also making sure that you have
Speaker 1: everything kind of in check to be able to say, like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm just not able to spend enough time with my family.
Speaker 1: Like for me personally, hear this, You're making the absolutely
Speaker 1: right call, like step away from the external stuff, keep
Speaker 1: the main things, the main things, and your family. Like you,
Speaker 1: You won't have a bigger supporter of this decision to
Speaker 1: spend more time with your family than me. That is
Speaker 1: something that is so incredibly important for me. So what
Speaker 1: I will say is, obviously it's going to be tough
Speaker 1: for Ray to move on, and it really really sad
Speaker 1: to see him go. Yes, we will get him back
Speaker 1: on on some guest spots like Ray, this is nothing
Speaker 1: to do at all with the chemistry that Ry and
Speaker 1: I have, nothing whatsoever. This is all again, this is
Speaker 1: all coming down to what Ray's got going on in
Speaker 1: his personal life and again making the right call there.
Speaker 1: So what I will say for the podcast is I
Speaker 1: want to keep this going like this has turned into
Speaker 1: something that I absolutely love doing. I'm extremely passionate about
Speaker 1: talking about Dynasty. You guys know that you hear it
Speaker 1: in my voice. So we are going to keep this going.
Speaker 1: Right now, were in a search for a host, a
Speaker 1: co host to come in. That search is being is
Speaker 1: conducted right now. What is going to happen is Ray
Speaker 1: is going to be on for the next week. So
Speaker 1: we are going to obviously with this show and then
Speaker 1: two more shows after this. So we wanted to give
Speaker 1: you guys at least a little bit of a heads
Speaker 1: up rather than the last episode saying and Ray's gone.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do the next two shows together. We're
Speaker 1: gonna make sure that you guys have everything that you
Speaker 1: need to be able to get through your rookie draft,
Speaker 1: your Dynasty rookie drafts, and then we're gonna press pause
Speaker 1: on the podcast for just a little bit so that
Speaker 1: way we can one I can get some rest because
Speaker 1: I've been going straight through the NFL, the fantasy football season,
Speaker 1: and then it was immediately into tape and the NFL Draft.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to rest just a little bit here.
Speaker 1: We're going to kind of figure things out, get a
Speaker 1: plan in place, and then we're gonna come right back
Speaker 1: here and we're going to make sure that you guys
Speaker 1: are prepared for your Dynasty rookie or Dynasty seasons moving
Speaker 1: forward into twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be here for a long time. So again,
Speaker 1: just want to stress to Ray that, like man, you're
Speaker 1: making the absolutely right call. I'm gonna miss you. I
Speaker 1: have absolutely love doing this show with you. It's been
Speaker 1: a ton of fun. You're a great friend, not only
Speaker 1: just in the industry but also off right off camera here.
Speaker 1: So really really appreciate you man, and you making it
Speaker 1: work as long as you have. Again, love the call
Speaker 1: that you're making to be able to keep the main
Speaker 1: things the main things. So obviously it's gonna be tough,
Speaker 1: but again, huge support of what you're what you're heading
Speaker 1: into you. Thank you appreciating absolutely all right, Thank you
Speaker 1: to Reality Sports Online for sponsoring today's podcast again. Hopefully
Speaker 1: this was really just helpful for you guys to be
Speaker 1: able to get the context of the wide receiver and
Speaker 1: tight end landing spots. Again, we weren't able to get
Speaker 1: through every single wide receiver. There were thirty of them,
Speaker 1: thirty six of them drafted, so we're not going to
Speaker 1: get through all those. I've got a Dynasty Rookie big
