Speaker 1: let's before we get into some last chance to buy
Speaker 1: these players kind of kind of talk here, I want
Speaker 1: to tell everyone about the giveaway that we have going
Speaker 1: on courtesy of our friends at Pristine Auction. That is
Speaker 1: a Javante Williams signed at Denver Bronco's helmet. To enter

Speaker 1: All right, way, oh my goodness, All right, Ray, we
Speaker 1: are heading into week one of the NFL season. We're
Speaker 1: recording this on Thursday. We've got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Speaker 1: and Dallas Cowboys facing off tonight, so we wanted to
Speaker 1: take a second before we get into the start of
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one NFL season and just highlight a
Speaker 1: few players here from a dynasty perspective that we're saying,
Speaker 1: this is your last chance to get in on these
Speaker 1: guys before their stock takes off dramatically here in the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one NFL season, your last chance to buy low.
Speaker 1: We'll toss out some values and some ideas of what
Speaker 1: you could trade for them, but let's turn it over
Speaker 1: to you first. Who is the first player that you
Speaker 1: want to highlight here as a player that you have
Speaker 1: to buy now? So the player I'm going to start
Speaker 1: with sort of the more notable name at the top
Speaker 1: of this list, and it's a player that understand QB
Speaker 1: situations change so quickly in the NFL, and I think
Speaker 1: this team out of the AFC way is destined for
Speaker 1: a quarterback change, probably in twenty twenty two. But this
Speaker 1: is your last opportunity, and I'm looking at Fantasy Pros
Speaker 1: dynasty rankings right now. Jerry Judy as the twenty second
Speaker 1: ranked wide receiver in Dynasty, you have to acquire him. Now,
Speaker 1: this is a player who almost had nine hundred yards,
Speaker 1: is a rookie catching passes from a combination of a
Speaker 1: guy who played wide receiver in college, Trevor Simeon and
Speaker 1: all these other random quarterbacks in Denver. Last year he
Speaker 1: gets Teddy Bridgewater. But I do believe that this is
Speaker 1: the season we actually see Jerry Judy ascend to the
Speaker 1: alpha role in Denver, the one a wide receiver position
Speaker 1: with Teddy Bridgewater, his ability to run after the catch,
Speaker 1: the just he reminds me Yates of Stefan Digg's two
Speaker 1: point zero. And as I'm looking at these rankings right now,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I'd like Jerry Judy over Michael Thomas.
Speaker 1: I prefer Jerry Judy over Mike Evans, and Dynasty give
Speaker 1: me Jerry Judy over this. I just think that this
Speaker 1: is the moment to get in on Jerry Judy because
Speaker 1: I think he is set to absolutely smash in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one. And if if, if, if we get Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers to Denver, or they draft a quarterback high in
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two NFL Draft and improve that situation
Speaker 1: to take more advantage of Jerry Judy in a skill set.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be too late and the cost of acquisition
Speaker 1: is going to be way too high, way too much
Speaker 1: more than I'm comfortable of paying. So this is your
Speaker 1: shot to get Jerry Judy before he takes off. And
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna happen starting this Sunday. Man, you're
Speaker 1: stealing my thunder. I was like, all right, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be a fantastic host. I'm gonna pull up our ECR
Speaker 1: over at Fantasy brows dot Com and I'm gonna look
Speaker 1: at some of the other names that are going around
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, and I'm gonna ask Ray who he would
Speaker 1: rather have, who we would be willing to send off
Speaker 1: to acquire Jerry. And the two players that I queued up,
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and Mike Evans man that are at nineteen
Speaker 1: and twenty in our dynasty ECR. And so you're just saying, man, like,
Speaker 1: straight up, you would just trade right now Mike Evans
Speaker 1: for Jerry Judy. Is that without question? I wouldn't even
Speaker 1: think twice A. That's awesome, man. I mean that Jerry
Speaker 1: Judy has the potential. Absolutely, He's got the talent. We
Speaker 1: know that the drops are a concern, but so we'll
Speaker 1: see if he can iron that out here. But you're
Speaker 1: absolutely right that the quarterback play that he had last
Speaker 1: year left a lot to be desired. So Jerry Judy
Speaker 1: potentially moving into that upper echelon they where he was drafted.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was drafted with number one overall picks
Speaker 1: last year in dynasty rookie drafts in some leagues like
Speaker 1: he is extremely valuable from a dynasty perspective, and you're
Speaker 1: saying that he has the potential to take off here
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, I absolutely agree. This is your
Speaker 1: last chance to get in on Jerry Judy. I am
Speaker 1: going to go with another wide receiver here from the
Speaker 1: same draft class, second year wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Michael Pittman Junior. This is your
Speaker 1: last chance to buy Michael Pittman Junior before he absolutely
Speaker 1: explodes this year. Heading into the twenty NFL draft process,
Speaker 1: I loved Michael Pittman Junior talking about him constantly as
Speaker 1: a potential wide receiver one for an offense. He gets
Speaker 1: drafted early in the second round to the Indianapolis Colts
Speaker 1: and you go, all right, they've got t Y Hilton.
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell of course be a thing. But Michael Pittman
Speaker 1: Junior should be able to establish himself as a solid
Speaker 1: receiving option here and now. Philip Rivers for as well
Speaker 1: as he played last year, it's still Philip Rivers in
Speaker 1: the final year of his career. It left a lot
Speaker 1: to be desired. You've got Carson Wentz now here in town,
Speaker 1: and depending on what version of Wentz we're gonna get,
Speaker 1: Pittman stock can either be a very very safe mid
Speaker 1: range wide receiver three in Dynasty this year to potentially
Speaker 1: a top fifteen option if we get the Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: that was with Frank Reich back in twenty seventeen. So
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior here now that you've got t Y
Speaker 1: Hilton on the IR to start the year, Paris Campbell
Speaker 1: is still kind of recovering from this Achilles injury. Like
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on here where Pittman can see
Speaker 1: a minimum of eight targets per game this entire season,
Speaker 1: like he has the talent to be able to make
Speaker 1: that count. He's dominated this entire offseason. The reports coming
Speaker 1: out of training camp in the preseason have just been glowing.
Speaker 1: I've been I was high on Michael Pittman Junior last year.
Speaker 1: Still high in him. Now go acquire him right now.
Speaker 1: Why is there such a sour taste people's math. I
Speaker 1: feel like Michael Pittman Junr. Is a player that nobody
Speaker 1: is really talking about putting up potentially monster numbers in
Speaker 1: that Coats offense this year. Like you said, t Y Hilton,
Speaker 1: are you really concerned about Zach Pascal? And I know
Speaker 1: the Paris Campbell truthers are out there, but Michael Pittman
Speaker 1: Yates looks the part of a dominant X wide receiver
Speaker 1: at six four two and twenty plus pounds, the speed,
Speaker 1: the way that he adjusts to the ball in the air,
Speaker 1: and he's actually really good after the catch. I'm not
Speaker 1: understanding why. Literally, I've seen We've all seen tweets of
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy and Laviska Chanalt and even Jalen Ragor, you
Speaker 1: know my guy, Jalen Ragor. We see that nothing radio
Speaker 1: silence on Michael Pittman. I'm just I'm wondering why there's
Speaker 1: there's not more buzz surrounding Michael Pittman Because I love
Speaker 1: this call by you. Yeah, and I mean you look
Speaker 1: at our ECR. He's at wide receiver forty three in
Speaker 1: Dynasty ECR. The guys around him are like Curtis Samuel
Speaker 1: is going above him Will Fuller, like I want Pittman
Speaker 1: Junior over Rashaud Bateman. For as much as I love
Speaker 1: Bateman as a prospect, he shouldn't be going over Michael
Speaker 1: Pittman Junior a few spots behind him at forty six. Again,
Speaker 1: Pittman's at forty three and forty six is Terace Marshall Junior.
Speaker 1: And no matter what your opinion is of Marshall Junior,
Speaker 1: you could love him as a prospect. He does not
Speaker 1: have the same level of upside in this offense in
Speaker 1: Carolina as Pittman does in Indianapolis. So you are absolutely correct.
Speaker 1: I do not understand the perception here. I would be
Speaker 1: willing to send a second round pick away to acquire
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior, potentially even a late first if I
Speaker 1: am a contending Dynasty roster. That is the way that
Speaker 1: I want to be viewing him, because I think he
Speaker 1: does have the potential to move up into the top
Speaker 1: twenty four wide receivers from a Dynasty perspect if he's
Speaker 1: still super super young and only twenty three years old.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to your second player here that
Speaker 1: this is the last chance to buy this player, all right,
Speaker 1: So I'm going to go with another sort of known
Speaker 1: player and Yates. I think this is somebody that we
Speaker 1: actually talked about back earlier over the summer when we
Speaker 1: were doing the show. But I'm going to go to
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, and right now he's inside Tier four
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros ECR rankings. This is a player who's going
Speaker 1: to get a massive extension. It's not gonna be Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be Dak Prescott, but there's stability at
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. He's going to get an extension and
Speaker 1: he's going to be the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future. Now I'm calling with Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of people here that and
Speaker 1: people may think, well, he's listen. I'm not sitting here
Speaker 1: telling anybody that Baker Mayfield is going to be a
Speaker 1: top five quarterback in Dynasty. I am not saying that whatsoever.
Speaker 1: But what they do have in Cleveland is probably one
Speaker 1: of the best offensive lines in football, at least top five.
Speaker 1: I'll be conservative, top five offensive line in football. They
Speaker 1: have a top five rushing attack and the wide receiver
Speaker 1: options are really good now, but we can improve the
Speaker 1: wide receiver position as we go. But Baker Mayfield being
Speaker 1: drafted estimate ECR rankings quarterback nineteen, one spot ahead of
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, just two spots ahead of Matt Ryan. I understand.
Speaker 1: I know that he does not have Justin Field's type ceiling.
Speaker 1: But in fantasy, in dynasty, especially in super flex formats,
Speaker 1: you want a stud quarterback if you can get too great,
Speaker 1: but you also want some stability, somebody that you know
Speaker 1: you can put in the lineup. He's not going to
Speaker 1: wreck your team. He may not win you a week.
Speaker 1: And if you do get those game winning weeks from
Speaker 1: a Baker Mayfield, that's icing on top of the cake.
Speaker 1: If if he blows up along with your true starter
Speaker 1: you're Justin Herbert at the top, then you pretty much
Speaker 1: essentially won your matchup that week. But I think this
Speaker 1: is the year. This is the year. With all the
Speaker 1: high expectations surrounding Cleveland, and as good as they played
Speaker 1: last year, a lot of people are picking the Browns
Speaker 1: to be super Bowl contenders, super Bowl contenders here in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. You better get Baker Mayfield now, because
Speaker 1: I think there's a world in which, and I know
Speaker 1: this sounds crazy, with the hype and hysteria around Mac Jones,
Speaker 1: I bet you could trade Mac Joe if you had
Speaker 1: Mac Jones and one at Baker Mayfield. I bet you
Speaker 1: can do that one for one if now maybe get
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty three third rounder in return as well.
Speaker 1: I don't think people are valuing the stability, the safe
Speaker 1: floor of Baker Mayfield, given the fact that he can
Speaker 1: have some of those big boom upside weeks. I want
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. I have actively acquired him over the summer
Speaker 1: in Dynasty leagues. I'm a big Baker Mayfield fan. And
Speaker 1: when I'm seeing some of the names and listen, I
Speaker 1: get what Jalen Hurts can do with his legs. If
Speaker 1: you're asking me who I've had more confidence in being
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback in twenty twenty two and beyond, it's
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. I've got more confidence in him than Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts or at this point to a tongue of Valoa
Speaker 1: as far as long term starting quarterback. Get Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: now before it's too late. You gotta stop doing this
Speaker 1: to me. Man. Literally, Jalen Hurts was the player that
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I want to spend some
Speaker 1: time talking about it Hurts versus Baker Mayfield, because I
Speaker 1: think the perception with Baker is okay, well, he's gonna
Speaker 1: run first offense, and so there's automatically like a cap
Speaker 1: on his fantasy output, right, And that's true to an extent,
Speaker 1: But he's also incredibly efficient. And what we saw when
Speaker 1: this offense started to click towards the last the latter
Speaker 1: half of twenty twenty, Baker was a very, very fantasy
Speaker 1: relevant quarterback. Like he was producing for one QB formats right,
Speaker 1: and you can get him for super cheap right now
Speaker 1: in super flex leagues. Again, you talked about Mac Jones.
Speaker 1: Mac Jones should not be valued anywhere near No matter
Speaker 1: what your opinion is in Mac Jones, he shouldn't be
Speaker 1: valued anywhere near Baker. Baker's an incredibly more talented quarterback.
Speaker 1: But I did want to spend some time on Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts because I don't know, I can't remember how much
Speaker 1: we talked about Hurts and valuing him from a dynasty perspective,
Speaker 1: and there was still like leading up into the NFL Draft,
Speaker 1: there was still some questions about, Okay, is Hurts actually
Speaker 1: the long term answer here in Philadelphia or were they
Speaker 1: going to be drafting one of the quarterbacks that fell
Speaker 1: potentially to them. And we saw them trade up from
Speaker 1: twelve to ten and we were like, all right, here
Speaker 1: we go justin fields. They ended up taking Davante Smith.
Speaker 1: So Jalen Hurts, I think this year you're going to
Speaker 1: have Hurts be a very very relevant quarterback. And I
Speaker 1: think that he is going to be just one of
Speaker 1: these guys that you can continue to plug into your
Speaker 1: lineup as a low nd QB one. But long term,
Speaker 1: I don't understand why Jalen Hurts is at QB fifteen
Speaker 1: in our dynasty ECR and you've got guys like Baker
Speaker 1: at nineteen. I mean even Carson wentz down at twenty two.
Speaker 1: That Sam Darnold. You know, for whatever your opinion is
Speaker 1: of him, like, we know that he's going to be
Speaker 1: given opportunity after opportunity and he's got the surrounding cast.
Speaker 1: So talk to me a little bit about your opinions
Speaker 1: on Jalen Hurts this year and moving forward from a
Speaker 1: dynasty perspective, well, I think you hit the nail on
Speaker 1: the head. This year he should smash and I mean
Speaker 1: he opens up with the Falcons. I mean there's potential
Speaker 1: for Jalen Hurts to finish his QB one on the week.
Speaker 1: And if I had Jalen Hurts and he went off,
Speaker 1: if he goes off against the Falcons and finishes his
Speaker 1: QB one, I probably try to trade him immediately. The
Speaker 1: issue is it just seems like whether it's coach speak
Speaker 1: all all training camp, all offseason, the whole you know,
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni not naming a starter Joe Flax, that was
Speaker 1: it was. It was ridiculous. But you know, Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: is gonna play. The Eagles are gonna have three first
Speaker 1: round picks in twenty twenty two, and without diving into
Speaker 1: that class entirely, there might be five or six quarterbacks
Speaker 1: drafted in the first round. Again, I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's like a job yeates when when the CEO or
Speaker 1: the boss gets fired and they bring in somebody new,
Speaker 1: they like to bring their people in. They like to
Speaker 1: bring their employees. They want to get their guys. I'm
Speaker 1: not sold that Jalen Hurts no matter unless he plays
Speaker 1: lights out. And when you look at all the oddsmakers,
Speaker 1: they're projecting Philadelphia to be one of the bottom five
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. So unless he plays lights out,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's I don't think he's assured anything.
Speaker 1: I think we can see a situation where he goes
Speaker 1: into mini camp as the starter, they draft a quarterback
Speaker 1: Malik Will Sam how Rattler, they draft them in the
Speaker 1: first round and they have this quote unquote quarterback battle
Speaker 1: and the rookie wins out. I just this is probably
Speaker 1: one of the more tricky situations to maneuver in Dynasty,
Speaker 1: because I love Jalen Hurts. There's no doubt what he
Speaker 1: can do with his legs, and then if he can
Speaker 1: continue to progress with his arms, how valuable with his arm,
Speaker 1: how valuable he can be in Dynasty. But Yates, if
Speaker 1: if there's any slip up with Hurts, I think any
Speaker 1: I can Philadelphia is probably gonna draft a quarterback and
Speaker 1: then what do you have? What can you trade Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts for at that point? So twenty twenty one, I
Speaker 1: feel great about him unless he blows it out of
Speaker 1: the water. I'd be very concerned, and I made Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts truth. But I'm just being honest with you. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give people just a little like peek behind the
Speaker 1: hurt and then look ahead. Like in the in season,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be doing with a bunch of different guests.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be doing a buy low, sell high segment
Speaker 1: after every single week with this Dynasty podcast. After Week one,
Speaker 1: most likely I'm gonna be saying sell Jalen Hurts in
Speaker 1: super flex leagues, like, you've got to be able to
Speaker 1: capitalize on what he does here against Atlanta, because I
Speaker 1: do think that he's going to put up some ridiculous numbers.
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna go back to the wide receiver position.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with a Dallas Cowboys wide receiver. No
Speaker 1: it's not Cede La No, it's not a Mary Cooper,
Speaker 1: it's Michael Gallup. I'm gonna go with Gallup here as
Speaker 1: a player that I believe that you have to buy
Speaker 1: now and this is kind of your last chance to
Speaker 1: do it. We've got rumors here that Michael Gallop is
Speaker 1: going to be moving into the slot and playing where
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb primarily played in twenty twenty. D Lamb is
Speaker 1: going to be moving outside now. Gallup is going to
Speaker 1: come on in three wide receiver sets you're gonna have,
Speaker 1: but the Dallas runs those is quite a bit here.
Speaker 1: So Gallup is going to be on the field. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have moments of relevance this season, but he's going
Speaker 1: to be more of a flex option, someone that you're
Speaker 1: really not super comfortable playing week in and week out,
Speaker 1: depending on the matchup, Like for tonight up against the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I really don't want to play Michael
Speaker 1: Gallop just because it's a tough matchup and we know
Speaker 1: the ball is going to go to a Mary Cooper
Speaker 1: in Cede Lamb first. Michael Gallup is in the end,
Speaker 1: is in the last year of his contract here with
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. It is highly unlikely that they move
Speaker 1: forward and they resigned Michael Gallup to the kind of
Speaker 1: contract that he's going to be asking for because Gallup
Speaker 1: is a very, very talented wide receiver and so he's
Speaker 1: going to hit the free potentially hit the free agent
Speaker 1: market next year, and he is going to end up
Speaker 1: as potentially the wide receiver one, if not a very
Speaker 1: very good wide receiver two for an NFL team, and
Speaker 1: that automatically boosts his dynasty stock. So he's way down
Speaker 1: in consensus ECR just because again, you've got Amari Cooper,
Speaker 1: you've got Ceedee Lamb in this offense that are going
Speaker 1: to dominate targets and Gallop is going to be kind
Speaker 1: of battling for the leftovers. But don't get that twisted.
Speaker 1: He is an incredibly talented wide receiver in someone that
Speaker 1: can still make a big impact for fantasy football lineup.
Speaker 1: So Michael Gallop here, I think he's going to provide
Speaker 1: a decent floor each week. So I'm saying by him
Speaker 1: now before people start to see that floor with him
Speaker 1: moving into the slot. But he's one of these guys
Speaker 1: too that I'd be willing to send away a second
Speaker 1: round pick. In one of my dynasty leagues, I got
Speaker 1: offered the trade to trade away Brian Edwards and a
Speaker 1: third round pick from Michael Gallop. I hit except on
Speaker 1: that button on that trade so quickly. And I know
Speaker 1: that the guy who sent me that trade listens to
Speaker 1: this podcast, so just giving him a look behind the
Speaker 1: look behind the scenes, I want. That was a no
Speaker 1: brainer trade for me to be able to get Gallup,
Speaker 1: who potentially could be a wide receiver one for an
Speaker 1: NFL team next year. No brainer trade. You stole my guy.
Speaker 1: You know there's somebody that I'm not mentioning intentionally because
Speaker 1: I have a good feeling that you're going to talk
Speaker 1: about him next. But Michael Gallup am I tweeted it out.
Speaker 1: I think if he would have been on the free
Speaker 1: agent market this year, he would have been one of
Speaker 1: the most coveted free agent wide receivers. You know, look
Speaker 1: at look at the football team right now. I bet
Speaker 1: you they'd love to have Michael Gallup a post to
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel right now, who's limping around on the field.
Speaker 1: But I do think Michael Gallup is going to get
Speaker 1: a bag in free agency Dallas. I don't think they
Speaker 1: can afford him. And if I'm Michael Gallup, I'm not
Speaker 1: taking a hometown discount this player. I'm with you. I
Speaker 1: think he can be a wide receiver one for an
Speaker 1: NFL franchise. I'll law, Oh, Corey Davis, right we see
Speaker 1: Corey Davis is the wide receiver one with the Jets.
Speaker 1: And if he's not a wide receiver. One, he's going
Speaker 1: to be a very valuable, highly paid wide receiver. Two
Speaker 1: he's just he's incredible. Michael Gallup is a wide receiver
Speaker 1: one in this league in my opinion, And this call
Speaker 1: to to get Gallop now, and he's still so. Brian
Speaker 1: Edwards in a third for Gallup, give me that word second,
Speaker 1: whatever it was, give me that trade, and I'm like you,
Speaker 1: I'm running to press except so I love that. Love that,
Speaker 1: yeah for sure. All right, let's go back to you
Speaker 1: for this is your final player, right, final player? To buy? Now?
Speaker 1: Is this my final player? This is it's I had,
Speaker 1: I had, I had two guys. I had two guys
Speaker 1: on that. If we have enough time, I think, okay, okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: my last my last player, and I'm gonna go quick.
Speaker 1: It's a rookie. But right now I'm telling everybody, go
Speaker 1: get Rondelle Moore, Like, go get Rondel Moore. I know
Speaker 1: there's all this hype. We're all focused on Jamar Chase,
Speaker 1: focused on Davante Smith and Teras Marshall and Elijah Moore.
Speaker 1: Rondelle Moore Arizona has no tight end of consequence. I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody sold on Christian Kirk or Andy Isabella
Speaker 1: aj Green. Not really. In Dynasty, there's a very real possibility, Yates.
Speaker 1: We're looking at a more explosive version of Robert woods Shorter.
Speaker 1: Not the same stature, not the same cop type player,
Speaker 1: but a wide receiver that can command these targets that's
Speaker 1: also going to give you twenty five thirty carries a
Speaker 1: season on those jet motions. We saw how Cliff Kingsberry
Speaker 1: wants to use rondel Moore early screenplays, getting them barred
Speaker 1: uses run after the catchability. And right now, when I'm
Speaker 1: looking at some of the players in Dynasty who were
Speaker 1: being drafted ahead or ranked ahead of Ron del Moore,
Speaker 1: I just go up the list and I'd say, give
Speaker 1: me Ron del Moore, give me rondel More, give me
Speaker 1: rondel More, give me rondel Moore. I think this is
Speaker 1: going to be a very special player in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and probably never a top twelve wide receiver. But when
Speaker 1: you're talking about somebody that I can see as a
Speaker 1: top twenty wide receiver a year down the line, two
Speaker 1: years down the line, in this offense, with his skill set,
Speaker 1: go buy Ron del Moore. I think you were in
Speaker 1: the camp of like Elijah Moore, right like you you
Speaker 1: loved Elijah Moore coming into the NFL drift, correct, Yes
Speaker 1: I did? Yeah, So all right, So Rondelle Moore in
Speaker 1: our dynasty ECR right now. And again this is different
Speaker 1: because we've got the landing spots. Now we know Rondel
Speaker 1: Moore in Arizona wide receiver fifty one, Elijah Moore in
Speaker 1: the New York Jets offense wide receiver thirty seven. Would
Speaker 1: you rather have Rondale Moore straight up over Elijah Moore.
Speaker 1: I'd be fine with that, absolutely, absolutely, I'd be fine.
Speaker 1: And I love Eli, I love Elijah Moore. Give me
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore, give me I love Elijah, love him. Dynasty
Speaker 1: long term, not for twenty twenty one. Maybe Elijah Moore
Speaker 1: outproduces him in twenty twenty one, but dynasty long term.
Speaker 1: I truly believe that what we saw from his collegiate
Speaker 1: career as a freshman, this is a special talent. Yate's
Speaker 1: a special player. And to be this low right now,
Speaker 1: I'd be interested to see what people could trade forward
Speaker 1: to get Ronda more because I just think this is
Speaker 1: the time, because all the all that it takes is
Speaker 1: on Sunday, if he takes two carries and takes one
Speaker 1: to the house, catches a couple of screenplays, makes players
Speaker 1: miss his values want to skyrocket. Yeah, yep, yeah. And
Speaker 1: it's interesting too you you talk about the dynasty and
Speaker 1: the long term value, Like next year, Christian Kirk probably
Speaker 1: not on this roster. Andy Isabella probably not on this roster.
Speaker 1: Aja Green probably not on this roster. So what do
Speaker 1: they do? Do they go forward with DeAndre Hopkins and
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore as their one A and one B you know,
Speaker 1: wide receiver one, wide receiver two. In this offense, it's
Speaker 1: quite possible. I'm gonna go with a player who is
Speaker 1: literally right next to him in Dynasty ECR. That's Darnell Mooney. Man,
Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney at wide receiver fifty in Dynasty EASTR. I
Speaker 1: just do not understand this one. Mooney showed out last
Speaker 1: year like no one saw this coming. Even if you
Speaker 1: evaluated his tape out of two Lane, you did not
Speaker 1: see this type of production and type of talent coming
Speaker 1: from him and his transition to the NFL. At least
Speaker 1: that early. He was making Jalen Ramsey looks silly, right,
Speaker 1: there's that clip where he just absolutely gets Jalen Ramsey
Speaker 1: to bite and then the ball is just airmailed over
Speaker 1: his head like he had absolutely no shot. So now
Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton, and no matter what your opinion of
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton is, he is a better quarterback than Mitchell
Speaker 1: Trubisky and Nick Foles. Now, it's a much better quarterback. No,
Speaker 1: that's another conversation for another day. So Mooney is going
Speaker 1: to be in the flex conversation week in and week out.
Speaker 1: But then, man, what happens once we see Justin Fields
Speaker 1: take over here? And I am predicting and projecting that
Speaker 1: that's going to happen a lot sooner than later here
Speaker 1: in this offense with Justin Fields taking over, Man, we
Speaker 1: saw it continuously what Fields was able to do deep
Speaker 1: downfield with guys like Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson at his
Speaker 1: time at Ohio State. Darnell Mooney is going to be
Speaker 1: able to stretch the field and be that deep option
Speaker 1: there for Justin Field. So Mooney right now at wide
Speaker 1: receiver fifty, he's gonna show out this year. It's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: This is your last chance to buy Darnel Mooney And
Speaker 1: depending on who the manager is in your league that
Speaker 1: has him. They might be smart. They might be looking
Speaker 1: at Mooney and saying, no, I'm going to hold onto
Speaker 1: him because I think that he has tremendous upside. But
Speaker 1: he's at fifty in Dynasty ECR. The majority of fantasy
Speaker 1: managers that have Mooney are not thinking about the long
Speaker 1: term upside with him with Justin Fields at quarterback. They're
Speaker 1: thinking about what happened last year and at least the
Speaker 1: level of production that he put up versus what he
Speaker 1: could have had Mooney the I mean Mooney to the
Speaker 1: moon right with Justin Fields like he is absolutely going
Speaker 1: to be in the conversation I believe of a top
Speaker 1: top thirty Dynasty wide receiver at this time next year.
Speaker 1: I actually think you're a little too low, Yates. I
Speaker 1: mean when I did the film breakdown of Darnell mooning
Speaker 1: over the summer, I literally said, how how is this
Speaker 1: kid so good? Just his ability to I mean, he's
Speaker 1: just he's special. I love Darnel. Yes to the Mooney,
Speaker 1: he is that good and you nailed it. He could
Speaker 1: be Justin Field's version of Chris Olave, you know, with
Speaker 1: a rob playing that. Garrett Wilson that the alpha role
Speaker 1: in Chris olave Field stretcher, the speed. I love this call.
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of darniell Mooney. I've traded for
Speaker 1: him in a ton of places. So we are we
Speaker 1: are in lockstep here with that one. I love it
Speaker 1: all right, Hey, we got time for that fourth one?
Speaker 1: You got that fourth Yes, I'm diving deep. I'm diving
Speaker 1: deep here. This is this is deep. It's dirty, it's nasty.
Speaker 1: But Cincinnati has a running back who I was high
Speaker 1: on going into the college football season. He played at
Speaker 1: the place where five star recruits go to die, the
Speaker 1: University of Michigan. But I'm talking about Chris Evans, and
Speaker 1: I think there's a world yeason which Chris Evans works
Speaker 1: his way on the field this season for the Bengals,
Speaker 1: we heard multiple beat reporters out of Cincinnati saying he's
Speaker 1: the best pass catching running back that they have veteran
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon. He's listed third on the depth chart, with
Speaker 1: Sama J. P Ryan ahead of him. I'm not taking
Speaker 1: that to the bank. I'm just whatever it could say,
Speaker 1: whatever it wants. But I think Chris Evans right now,
Speaker 1: you probably can get the dude for a third round
Speaker 1: pick in twenty twenty two, a third rounder for Chris Evans,
Speaker 1: give me that type of tray, Maybe even a fourth
Speaker 1: rounder if people aren't paying attention. But I think there's
Speaker 1: a real possibility that Chris Evans turns Joe Mixon into
Speaker 1: more of a two down grinder with him working on
Speaker 1: the field and third down situations, playing on the two
Speaker 1: minute drives, a fast paced offense and becoming PPR relevant.
Speaker 1: So if if you can get Chris Evans, and I
Speaker 1: know he's ranked low, I think he's like eighty something,
Speaker 1: Roy's freemen around him. I mean, this is this is deep,
Speaker 1: it's dynasty. But go get Chris Evans before he gets
Speaker 1: on the field this weekend and flashes, and then you
Speaker 1: get a couple of Dynasty managers. They say, hey, they
Speaker 1: have something here on my taxi squad, So go get
Speaker 1: Chris Evans. The question with Evans was never like talent
Speaker 1: or athleticism. It was always just like give him some
Speaker 1: experience we have we can't evaluate him enough because you
Speaker 1: just wasn't given enough work in this offense, which again
Speaker 1: it's a whole other conversation about what Michigan does with
Speaker 1: their talented players. But I think that, yeah, with Evans,
Speaker 1: he just needs the playing time, he needs the reps
Speaker 1: to be able to continue to develop into something. But
Speaker 1: you can absolutely get onto the field in that kind
Speaker 1: of like hybrid Giovanni Bernard role. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's going to happen right away. It might be something
Speaker 1: where you have to wait at least maybe until the
Speaker 1: later portion of this this season or maybe even next
Speaker 1: whatever that looks like. But Evans does have the talent.
Speaker 1: End again, you dude, a fourth round pick next year. Easy,
Speaker 1: Like in shallow dynasty leagues. He's gonna be dropped. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna he's gonna be on the waiver wire. You
Speaker 1: can go pick this guy up for super super cheap.
Speaker 1: Love that call. I'm gonna go a little bit higher
Speaker 1: up the board for my final player here. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with Tyler Higby, the tight end for the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. With Higby, he had that dominant stretch of
Speaker 1: five games towards the end of twenty nineteen when Gerald
Speaker 1: Everett was out of the lineup, and then last year
Speaker 1: the hype was real, and then he disappointed because Gerald
Speaker 1: Everett was healthy and sharing the tight end splits here,
Speaker 1: the tight end snaps here with Higbee for a terrible,
Speaker 1: I mean terrible quarterback play. Now you've got Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: here in town in this offense about it all offseason.
Speaker 1: I think this offense is going to go nuclear this
Speaker 1: year with Matthew Stafford at quarterback. And when you look
Speaker 1: at the Rams offense, you've got Robert Woods smaller receiver.
Speaker 1: You got Cooper cup he's a big slot but he
Speaker 1: doesn't have the same kind of size. Then you've got
Speaker 1: I mean DeShawn Jackson two two out while they are
Speaker 1: the opposite of size at the wide receiver position. So
Speaker 1: in the red zone, Tyler Higby is going to be
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's target. He's going to be the guy that
Speaker 1: he's locking onto and looking to feature. If you are
Speaker 1: a dynasty roster, a dynasty team that doesn't have one
Speaker 1: of these top six dynasty tight ends, right after that point,
Speaker 1: it's just your throwing darts at the tight end position.
Speaker 1: You're just looking to get one of these guys that
Speaker 1: maybe they can be something. And I think Higbee has
Speaker 1: an excellent chance of at least returning value you can.
Speaker 1: He's a little bit older, right, he's I think twenty
Speaker 1: eight off the top of my head. Like, he's an
Speaker 1: older tight end, so you're not going to have to
Speaker 1: send away significant draft pick value and compensation to go
Speaker 1: get him. I think you can get him for a
Speaker 1: third round pick. So Tyler Higby is a guy that
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely targeting if I am in need of a
Speaker 1: tight end. Yeah, I'm just I'm actually really shocked that
Speaker 1: you didn't name Ramandre Stevenson. Man, I am. I am
Speaker 1: floored because I was gonna I was going to name him,
Speaker 1: but I was like, that's gonna be Yates. Is I'm
Speaker 1: saving it for him? No reminders Stevenson interesting? No, I
Speaker 1: mean we that was obviously for those who are just
Speaker 1: tuning in. That was one of the players that Ray
Speaker 1: and I were so divided on in the pre draft
Speaker 1: process leading up. I loved his tape out at Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: Ray was a little bit more skeptical, and then he
Speaker 1: lands in New England and I was like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of about and then Ray was like, actually I'm
Speaker 1: kind of interested, and so it flip flop. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's a New England Patriots running back, Like I think
Speaker 1: that he can be relevant, but he's got Damien Harris,
Speaker 1: James White, JJ Taylor all above him on the depth chart. Now,
Speaker 1: we looked fantastic in the preseason. There's no denying that.
Speaker 1: At seven point seven yards per carry or whatever he
Speaker 1: average ridiculous, he looked great. But I just have it's
Speaker 1: still a new England Patriots running back and I typically
Speaker 1: try to avoid that backfield if I can. Alright, alright, alright,
Speaker 1: some level headedness from you, But I will give you
Speaker 1: on this show. I've joked about Matt Jones at the beginning.
Speaker 1: You admit it publicly, you know, Ray, you got that one.
Speaker 1: I admit to you on this show. You got me
Speaker 1: on Stevenson. He looks fantastic and if he gets an opportunity,
Speaker 1: I think he'll be good for sure. Man. And hey,
Speaker 1: we're all gonna hit, We're all gonna miss. It's part
Speaker 1: of the fun of this job, right, It's part of
Speaker 1: the fun of just being able to evaluate and see
Speaker 1: what happens everything. Anything can happen in the NFL and
Speaker 1: the fantasy football. That's what makes it so much fun.
Speaker 1: Anything can change year over year in dynasty fantasy football,
Speaker 1: and that's why we love this format, all right, that's
Speaker 1: gonna do it for today's show. Guys, Thank you so
