Speaker 1: Hello, everybody.
Speaker 2: Welcome into another episode of the Fantasy Pros Dynasty Football Podcast.
Speaker 2: I am Ryan Warnley, joined today by Scott Bogman and
Speaker 2: by Pat fitz Morris. Pat, we are still kind of
Speaker 2: on the back end, or maybe even in the middle
Speaker 2: of it these illnesses we all got in Nashville, the
Speaker 2: team trip together. We haven't done a Dynasty show together
Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks because of various scheduling stuff
Speaker 2: and sicknesses and whatnot. So I appreciate you making the
Speaker 2: time today while fighting through this cold. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate Bogman being willing to do a show
Speaker 3: with the Infirmary Brothers today.
Speaker 4: But you know, that's what happens. I was before Nashville.
Speaker 3: I was in Las Vegas, so that was like a
Speaker 3: week and a half of you know, maybe not exactly
Speaker 3: taking care of myself. I think the only fruit I
Speaker 3: had was like the lineman, my vodkatonics. So, you know,
Speaker 3: time to get back to a healthier.
Speaker 5: Routine if it has a cold and scurvy at the
Speaker 5: same time.
Speaker 2: Immune system working overtime therein. I'm I'm surprised that you
Speaker 2: joined as well. I thought you'd be out celebrating the
Speaker 2: rumors of Russell Wilson to the Steelers.
Speaker 5: You gotta start with this already warmly. We just started
Speaker 5: this show. Man, Like, what are you doing to me?
Speaker 5: I said, I, yeah, look that is It's definitely not clickbait, right,
Speaker 5: There's no way that a reporter in today's day and
Speaker 5: age would put something on the line just to get clicks. Right,
Speaker 5: that's so weird. I don't know how that happened.
Speaker 2: No, it's definitely happening. I cannot wait for Russell Wilson
Speaker 2: in the AFC North.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tot of.
Speaker 5: Fud well really, all kinds of will having a good record.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: Throughout the rest of this show, we're talking today sort
Speaker 2: of a pre free agency buy and sell from a
Speaker 2: dynasty perspective. We're gonna run through the actual free agents
Speaker 2: that we might want to buy low on or sell
Speaker 2: high on. And also, you know, look at some of
Speaker 2: the non free agents will be impacted by next week's
Speaker 2: free agency bonanza.
Speaker 1: I want to mention.
Speaker 2: All of our early twenty twenty four consensus rankings and
Speaker 2: tiers can be found at fantasypros dot com slash rankings.
Speaker 2: You can navigate from there, also to our staff Dynasty
Speaker 2: rankings on the site as well. I also want to
Speaker 2: mention that if you guys are looking for more Dynasty
Speaker 2: talk over on Discord, you can get just that with
Speaker 2: Scott Bogman and Pat Fitzmorris. The guys will answer your
Speaker 2: questions directly. All the analysts are on there too, but
Speaker 2: those two specifically. We'll be hosting a live stages next week.
Speaker 2: That's March fifteenth at five pm Eastern. Check that out
Speaker 2: fantasypros dot Com slash Stages. You definitely want to be
Speaker 2: involved in our Discord community. You can get your direct,
Speaker 2: actual league specific questions answered live from the guys, so
Speaker 2: be sure to check that out March fifteenth, five pm Eastern.
Speaker 1: Let's dive in. We got a lot to get through.
Speaker 1: As always, We'll start as we always do, with the quarterbacks. Bogs.
Speaker 2: You and I just did a show yesterday on the
Speaker 2: main feed with ericson kind of a free agency preview.
Speaker 2: We'll go through a lot of those similar names, but
Speaker 2: again from the Dynasty perspective, here more of a value
Speaker 2: and less of a predicting, you know, direct landing spots necessarily.
Speaker 2: Let's start with the same guy though, it's kind of
Speaker 2: the obvious domino to fall once everything kicks off. It's
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins at the quarterback position, obviously coming from the Vikings,
Speaker 2: maybe staying there.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Bogwin?
Speaker 5: I think, for all intents and purposes, it is between
Speaker 5: Minnesota and Atlanta for Kirk, right, I think that is
Speaker 5: where we're going. We're going with one of those spots,
Speaker 5: and I think that both are good. We want the
Speaker 5: shorter window for Cousins, of course, coming off the Achilles,
Speaker 5: being you know, in his mid thirties. We're looking for
Speaker 5: a shorter window for him than a guy like Justin Fields,
Speaker 5: who will talk about next. But I think that between
Speaker 5: Minnesota and Atlanta there's not really a bad spot for him.
Speaker 5: I think with Minnesota is where I would prefer him
Speaker 5: because he has familiarity. We have Jefferson, we have Addison.
Speaker 5: There's a lack of a run game there as well.
Speaker 5: Do we know they're going to be past heavy. We
Speaker 5: know O'Connor will just you know, completely scrap the run
Speaker 5: in some in some games. So that's my preferred spot.
Speaker 5: But I I think Atlanta is a good spot too
Speaker 5: because we do have Zach Robinson coming over from the
Speaker 5: Rams to be the OC there with Raheem Morris as
Speaker 5: the head coach, and we have Drake London, we have
Speaker 5: Kyle Pitts, we have Beeawn Robinson. But there will be
Speaker 5: games where the Falcons lean a little more into the
Speaker 5: run because they do have a guy like Beejon Robinson,
Speaker 5: and if a team can't stop it, you're just gonna
Speaker 5: hand the ball off a bunch of times with Robinson
Speaker 5: and out here still on the rosters. So I think,
Speaker 5: for you know, all purposes, it's one of those two teams.
Speaker 5: I slightly lean towards Minnesota, but I think Atlanta is
Speaker 5: a good landing spot as well. If he does end
Speaker 5: up in a wildcard, if somebody throws a bunch of
Speaker 5: money at him, I think every other place is worse
Speaker 5: than those two pretty much the Raiders, I don't know,
Speaker 5: you still have good options there. That one might be, Okay.
Speaker 5: I don't want him in New England. I don't want
Speaker 5: him in Pittsburgh, you know. So I think between Minnesota
Speaker 5: and Atlanta it's about the same. I probably won't knock
Speaker 5: him too much wherever he lands between those two.
Speaker 2: Yeah fits given his age. I mean, it certainly seems
Speaker 2: like those two Minnesota and Atlanta are kind of the
Speaker 2: heavy favorites, at least from what you see online. Given
Speaker 2: his age, Is there a landing spot where he could
Speaker 2: go that would impact his dynasty value too significantly?
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Like I've got him quarterback twenty nine in my dynasty rankings,
Speaker 3: which is mainly due to his age. He's going to
Speaker 3: be thirty six in August. But like the appraisal of
Speaker 3: his dynasty value, I don't think changes that much depending
Speaker 3: on where he goes. I agree with Bogman, probably would
Speaker 3: be best for him from a fantasy perspective to go
Speaker 3: back to Minnesota and be playing with Justin Jefferson and
Speaker 3: Jordan Addison again. But I kind of want him to
Speaker 3: go to Atlanta and help Drake London and Kyle Pitts
Speaker 3: take flights. But even if say a dark horse Cousins
Speaker 3: suitor like the Raiders or Steelers were to get involved,
Speaker 3: like I don't think that would really move the needle
Speaker 3: on his value that much either.
Speaker 4: So he's going to do Kirk Cousins things.
Speaker 3: He's going to be an efficient, he's going to make
Speaker 3: his wide receivers work for fantasy. He's going to throw
Speaker 3: short of the sticks on third and long and key situations.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be the same old, same old. For Cousins,
Speaker 3: We're gonna get another two or three more years of it,
Speaker 3: and there's definitely value to that in Dynasty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we touched on that a bit yesterday in terms
Speaker 2: of where going back to Minnesota might be best for him,
Speaker 2: but for fantasy managers, it might be better if he
Speaker 2: goes to Atlanta and we can kind of finally see,
Speaker 2: you know, those really really talented young steel position players
Speaker 2: play with a quarterback who's not Marcus Marioto or Desmond
Speaker 2: Ritter or t Taylor Heineke and play with an actual
Speaker 2: real NFL quarterback and see what they can actually do together.
Speaker 2: So that to me is sort of the more fun option.
Speaker 2: Also just kind of change is fun and mixing things up.
Speaker 2: But for his perspective, as Cousins himself, I do totally
Speaker 2: buy the idea that sticking in the offense he knows
Speaker 2: with the receivers that he's already comfortable with, could just
Speaker 2: be you know, the best thing kind of all around,
Speaker 2: and maybe the most likely thing.
Speaker 1: I guess we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: I do want to hit on another quarterback here, And
Speaker 2: I know this is sort of built as a free
Speaker 2: agency preview. I think we have to talk about justin
Speaker 2: fields because during this free agency period it is likely
Speaker 2: that we will see him get traded, So that value
Speaker 2: will change depending on where he's traded, I think, and
Speaker 2: so well you know the values of the players on
Speaker 2: the team that he gets traded too, So I think
Speaker 2: he's worth talking about fits.
Speaker 1: I'll start with you on fields.
Speaker 2: Is there a landing spot that you think is both
Speaker 2: likely and would have a real significant impact on his
Speaker 2: dynasty value?
Speaker 3: Boy, you know, I always kind of figured it was
Speaker 3: gonna be Atlanta, and now the Cousins to Atlanta rumors
Speaker 3: seem to be picking up steam. I wonder if he
Speaker 3: is going to wind up in Las Vegas and be
Speaker 3: reunited with Luke Getsy again, which is kind of interesting. Like,
Speaker 3: I didn't think Gatsy was necessarily the best offensive coordinator
Speaker 3: for him. It seemed like at times Gatsy was sort of,
Speaker 3: I don't know, just keeping him on a short leash
Speaker 3: and like throwing an incessant number of screen passes and
Speaker 3: just like not letting fields turn it loose and throw
Speaker 3: it down field. But at this point, maybe that's that's
Speaker 3: the right match.
Speaker 4: For him, and I wouldn't hate it.
Speaker 3: I mean, he gets Devanta Adams, he gets Jacoby Myers,
Speaker 3: Michael Mayer like, it's an interesting landing spot for him.
Speaker 3: I just I don't know if I want him paired
Speaker 3: with Luke Getzi again?
Speaker 2: Where fits before I toss the boglin quickly? Where do
Speaker 2: you have Fields ranked dynasty right now? QB eleven QUB
Speaker 2: eleven Okay?
Speaker 1: Do you do you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get back in QB one territory as well
Speaker 2: be next to your kind of regardless where he lands.
Speaker 3: Or I do like, I just like, who would you,
Speaker 3: guys rather have Jordan Love or Justin Fields?
Speaker 2: I would say love, but that might just be like
Speaker 2: he ended so well, it's hard not to remember how
Speaker 2: he finished.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Bogman, I.
Speaker 5: Would say love now. I don't think I would have
Speaker 5: said that before. I thought Fields would be traded at
Speaker 5: this point. And I think the fact that he's not
Speaker 5: traded right now has to lower his sotte a little
Speaker 5: bit because I think with him not getting traded at
Speaker 5: this point, it's you have teams that aren't really interested
Speaker 5: in him where he could start so maybe he has
Speaker 5: to go somewhere and back up for a little bit.
Speaker 5: So I do think it lowers.
Speaker 3: You don't think he's starting somewhere, No, he's starting somewhere
Speaker 3: in twenty well, but okay.
Speaker 5: I think he could start in twenty twenty four. But
Speaker 5: why like, why wouldn't Seattle offer a two for him
Speaker 5: or a three for him? You know, and if he
Speaker 5: goes to Seattle, I don't know that he's starting over
Speaker 5: Geno immediately. He might new OC no head coach there
Speaker 5: that that's a possibility. But I think that you know,
Speaker 5: the closer you get to the draft, and more likely
Speaker 5: you are to be Josh Rosen. I don't think he
Speaker 5: is that. I don't. I had him at nine before this.
Speaker 5: I do think I need to lower him. I had
Speaker 5: him slightly ahead of love. But now that you just
Speaker 5: said that fits, I'm kind of debating in my head
Speaker 5: whether i'd whether have lover fields. I think it still
Speaker 5: fields slightly because of the rushing upside, But I'm not
Speaker 5: one hundred percent convinced that he has to start no
Speaker 5: matter where he goes.
Speaker 2: It does seem like the trade compensation, like the rumors
Speaker 2: are that it's the market is just kind of cooled,
Speaker 2: and it won't be quite as much as I expected.
Speaker 2: Like I was expecting when this whole process began and
Speaker 2: it became clear that the Bears were going to have
Speaker 2: the number one pick and probably be trade fields, I
Speaker 2: was expecting that they could be able to trade fields
Speaker 2: for like I don't know, like a mid to maybe
Speaker 2: even a high second round pick, Like just somebody saying, hey,
Speaker 2: it's not around one pick, but we'll give up a
Speaker 2: high Day two pick to get what could potentially be
Speaker 2: really high upside quarterback. It seems like that's not the
Speaker 2: case anymore. So if a team is giving up like
Speaker 2: a third rounder or even a fourth rounder, that's entirely speculation.
Speaker 5: I don't know, and we don't know all the back
Speaker 5: ends either. Were like they could just be playing chicken
Speaker 5: with one team that really wants him right now. So
Speaker 5: that could be the case as well. So we're not
Speaker 5: really sure what his value is going to be. But
Speaker 5: I think not being traded at this point it says
Speaker 5: says more than it doesn't, So it says more than
Speaker 5: people think. I guess I should say, do.
Speaker 2: You, Bogman have a landing spot in mind that you
Speaker 2: think could significantly alter his his dynasty value if the
Speaker 2: trade does.
Speaker 5: There's a lot. Yeah, I think that. I think anywhere
Speaker 5: he goes significantly alters. And I think we're it's just
Speaker 5: such a big range, right, because if he went to Seattle,
Speaker 5: they're going to run the ball a lot, so you
Speaker 5: want him to be Lamar. But they have Walker and
Speaker 5: sharbon Ay and they just brought a McDonald. I think
Speaker 5: they're going to pass there. They're going to run the
Speaker 5: ball a lot and not pass the ball as much.
Speaker 5: I think if he goes to Vegas, where you don't
Speaker 5: have Josh Jacobs and you have Devantae Adams and Chakobe Myers,
Speaker 5: now he's going to pass the ball a lot, his
Speaker 5: value becomes more the balls in his hands more.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 5: I think there's just with him with Kirk, there's not
Speaker 5: a lot of difference Like you bring in Kirk.
Speaker 1: You know what he is.
Speaker 5: He's a pocket passer. He's not going to run. There's
Speaker 5: not gonna be a lot of variants on him. With Fields,
Speaker 5: I think the variance is all over the place. So
Speaker 5: it really depends on where he ends up planning.
Speaker 4: Would you be happy if you went to the Steelers.
Speaker 5: I'd be so happy I'd be so happy because that
Speaker 5: means no Russell Wilson and I don't have to deal
Speaker 5: with Pickett anymore. And I wasn't a Picket guy to start,
Speaker 5: so I don't know Picket could still have it. I'm
Speaker 5: like lukewarm on him. I want him more than I
Speaker 5: want Russell Wilson. I'll say that, but I don't really
Speaker 5: want pick Yeah.
Speaker 1: Fitz Bogman is not the right person asked. The right
Speaker 1: person ask is me?
Speaker 2: Would I be unhappy if he went to the Steelers?
Speaker 2: And the answer is yes, So I'm hoping that.
Speaker 5: Does not happen.
Speaker 2: Let's get into the running backs here. There's a ton
Speaker 2: of big name running backs. A couple of them are older,
Speaker 2: so I kind of shied away from them. I think
Speaker 2: somebody like a Derreck Henry, you know, just given his age,
Speaker 2: he can't really rise too much in a dynasty setting
Speaker 2: as a running back when he's already thirty. So while
Speaker 2: he's really intriguing for this upcoming season, I kind of
Speaker 2: left him off and tried to aim towards the running
Speaker 2: backs more in their mid twenties rather than their late
Speaker 2: twenties or thirties. We're starting off with Saquon Barkley, because
Speaker 2: he's the biggest name. Obviously, former really high pick, has
Speaker 2: been really highly valued in Dynasty at times, has had
Speaker 2: a tough situation in New York, is now getting older,
Speaker 2: kind of towards that late twenties rage. But you know, Fitz,
Speaker 2: I'll start with you here again. Is there a landing
Speaker 2: spot for Saquon that you think would maybe we could
Speaker 2: even see his Dynasty value rise despite the f that
Speaker 2: he's getting older.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think so seeing him maybe in
Speaker 3: Baltimore would be great. Seeing him as the featured back
Speaker 3: for the Cowboys or the Texans, those are pretty attractive
Speaker 3: landing spots. And he's getting older, but he just turned
Speaker 3: twenty seven, so theoretically he's in the prime of his career.
Speaker 3: My main concern with Barkley is that he has not
Speaker 3: been very efficient in the passing game since twenty nineteen. Like,
Speaker 3: over the last three seasons he's averaged let's see, six
Speaker 3: point five yards per catching four point seven yards per target.
Speaker 3: Those are pretty pedestrian numbers for a running back. And
Speaker 3: like that, we thought that was going to be the
Speaker 3: special sauce with Barkley, that he was magic in the
Speaker 3: passing game, and we saw it really early in his career.
Speaker 3: We had seen it in his college career at Penn States.
Speaker 4: But I don't know, maybe he's still got that.
Speaker 3: I guess maybe we wouldn't see that magic in the
Speaker 3: passing game with Baltimore because Lamar is not really a
Speaker 3: dump off guy. But with Houston or Dallas, that'd be
Speaker 3: pretty interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's really tat can go ahead?
Speaker 5: Sorry, yeah, I love those spots. One more I'll throw
Speaker 5: out to you guys. How about the Chargers put him
Speaker 5: in LA with that with with Jim Harbaugh and you
Speaker 5: have a good a good quarterback and Justin Herbert to
Speaker 5: dump the ball off to him, and we know they're
Speaker 5: going to be a hard nosed running team with Harba
Speaker 5: at the helm. I think that could be a good
Speaker 5: spot as well. But Houston is most likely, and that's
Speaker 5: what I want so I can go see him play eventually,
Speaker 5: because that's what well.
Speaker 2: Houston so interesting, especially seeing what CMC has done in
Speaker 2: the Shanahan offense. And you know, obviously he'ston retaining Bobby
Speaker 2: slog for another year, but also having a much better
Speaker 2: quarterback than the Shanahan offense is typically had I think
Speaker 2: that would be really fascinating.
Speaker 1: I hadn't considered the LA one.
Speaker 2: You know, we've talked a lot in free agency previews
Speaker 2: about Austin Eckler leaving, we haven't really talked so much
Speaker 2: about who would be going to replace him, And I
Speaker 2: think Saquon. I mean, I know that the Chargers are not, like,
Speaker 2: they don't have that big of a cultural like footprint
Speaker 2: in LA, but just the idea of Saquon in LA
Speaker 2: feels like kind of fitting right. He's kind of a
Speaker 2: big time, you know, star type of personality, but also
Speaker 2: would be a really interesting fit given what we know
Speaker 2: Harbaugh and Greg orrowmann't want to do, so I think
Speaker 2: that's a really intriguing one.
Speaker 5: They don't have a lot of money to spend. I
Speaker 5: think that's a big thing, and that's probably why we
Speaker 5: hurt haven't heard that, because currently they're still twenty million
Speaker 5: over the cap. They got to make some big cuts.
Speaker 5: I think Mike Williams saves them most of that.
Speaker 2: You pretty much don't hear any free agents tied to
Speaker 2: LA because of the situation.
Speaker 3: Speaking of spending money, should we talk about the nightmare
Speaker 3: scenario for Saquon or any of the.
Speaker 5: Other top running backs, saying in New York.
Speaker 4: No, Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Tennessee's got a lot of money to spend
Speaker 3: and allows the offensive line and uh, you know, not
Speaker 3: a great situation a quarterback.
Speaker 5: But isn't anything for Squon better than the Giants because,
Speaker 5: like I know, you talked about how he has been
Speaker 5: good in the in the past game since nineteen, but
Speaker 5: they haven't had any weapons since twenty nineteen. It's been
Speaker 5: stacked boxes that he's facing and everyone knows he's getting
Speaker 5: the ball. So I think just going anywhere, but with
Speaker 5: someone in Tennessee where Hopkins Hopkins is better. And by
Speaker 5: the way, the line is terrible in Tennessee, and it's
Speaker 5: still way better than it was with the Giants, still
Speaker 5: way better than it was with the Giants. At least
Speaker 5: you have guards in Tennessee. You need to fix those tackles,
Speaker 5: which they can do in the draft, but and you
Speaker 5: have Callahan, which will stretch the field a little bit more,
Speaker 5: so you won't have all those tack boxes. So I
Speaker 5: still think that Saquon going pretty much anywhere, unless he
Speaker 5: was to end up in Carolina, is a positive for him.
Speaker 2: I was going to ask, actually, if you know if
Speaker 2: the worst case scenario was in New York, but I
Speaker 2: do see the case made for Tennessee as well there.
Speaker 2: I know that in some of our previous free agency
Speaker 2: preview discussions, Josh Jacobs has been talked about as a
Speaker 2: potential Tennessee fit, just given that they like kind of
Speaker 2: the heart knows like guy that they can run into
Speaker 2: the ground, which we saw just two years ago, you
Speaker 2: know with the Raiders. For Jacobs, he's the next guy.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about Boggs. We'll start with you.
Speaker 2: Where do you see Jacob's dynasty value right now and
Speaker 2: where it might change based on his landing spot?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Right now? I have Jacobs, you know, right middling. I
Speaker 5: have him like a head over shod way because they
Speaker 5: do think they're going to bring somebody in there. But
Speaker 5: I have him behind like Barkley and Etn and Kyraen Williams,
Speaker 5: guys like that. So I have him kind of middling,
Speaker 5: as like RB twelve ish. I haven't put the rookies
Speaker 5: in with mine, yet, but I think I think Tennessee
Speaker 5: actually fits because you have a young quarterback in Levis,
Speaker 5: you are going to pass more. They're gonna they have
Speaker 5: so much money to spend. I think that line is
Speaker 5: going to be fixed going into the draft, and then
Speaker 5: they could still spend a pick there or two. Uh
Speaker 5: So I think that, and he has you know, Nicholes there.
Speaker 5: Oc was on the Raiders' staff for a long time,
Speaker 5: so he has a relationship built there. So I I
Speaker 5: to me, I'm already locking in Jacobs to Tennessee in
Speaker 5: my brain because they have money to spend and he
Speaker 5: has familiarity. So I like that spot a lot for him.
Speaker 1: Fits.
Speaker 2: Would you be more interested in that landing spot for
Speaker 2: Jacobs than you were for Saquon No.
Speaker 4: I think it would still be kind of a lousy
Speaker 4: landing spot.
Speaker 3: I'd much rather see Jacobs in Dallas or Houston or Baltimore.
Speaker 5: I agree with that. By the way, I think all
Speaker 5: those spots are better than Tennessee. I do.
Speaker 2: I do like Fits. Before you continue, we talked about
Speaker 2: a little bit yesterday. I'm curious to your opinion. I
Speaker 2: think Jacobs is the best free agent running back option,
Speaker 2: given combination of age, what he's done in the NFL style.
Speaker 2: You know, I fit anywhere. I really like Jacobs compared
Speaker 2: to some of these other guys. What do you think
Speaker 2: I agree with you worm.
Speaker 3: I've got him running back eleven in my Dynasty rankings,
Speaker 3: one spot ahead of Saquon and like, Jacobs just turned
Speaker 3: twenty six last month, tough runner between the tackles. Like,
Speaker 3: I love how he seems to contact. He's got a
Speaker 3: history of being able to handle the workhorse duty, and
Speaker 3: he's actually been a more efficient pass catcher than Sakuon
Speaker 3: Barkley over the last three years.
Speaker 5: Well, let me ask you this. If Barkley goes to
Speaker 5: Dallas and Jacobs sends up in Tennessee, who do you
Speaker 5: like MOREA.
Speaker 4: Then I gotta flip him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, So I mean there's just a lot
Speaker 5: of context for landing spots. Sure, but we're going to
Speaker 5: find all this out. Like I love NFL free agency
Speaker 5: because it's done in like forty eight hours. You know,
Speaker 5: It's not like Baseball free agency. We're still waiting for
Speaker 5: Blake Snell and Jady Martinez to sign. You know. The
Speaker 5: NFL is done like during the tampering period. It doesn't
Speaker 5: even get to the actual date most of the time.
Speaker 3: So we love that is there By the way, is
Speaker 3: there any logical explanation for the two day tamper It
Speaker 3: reminds me of the scene in Spinal Tap where Rob
Speaker 3: Reiner's asking Nigel, the lead guitarist, about his amplifier and
Speaker 3: why it goes to eleven and like can't you just
Speaker 3: make ten louder and have Matty the highest number? Like
Speaker 3: why not just start free agency on Monday? Do you
Speaker 3: really need two days of tampering and that.
Speaker 5: Because of what we're gonna happen anyway, they're gonna have
Speaker 5: the tampering period, so they just call it the legal
Speaker 5: tamp tampering period.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I once heard that as a reason for why they
Speaker 2: don't lower the drinking age. They're like, well it's twenty one,
Speaker 2: knowing that people will kind of start early. If you
Speaker 2: lower it to eighteen, then they'll start earlier from that.
Speaker 3: Yet, so you guys, you guys really think that there
Speaker 3: are no one like, no conversations going on between agents
Speaker 3: and teams.
Speaker 5: Of course, but if you get we lose picks like
Speaker 5: the Dolphins did, so try not to do that.
Speaker 4: Fair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think one thing, you know quickly to bog mean,
Speaker 2: you mentioned like haven't kind of you know, slided in
Speaker 2: the rookies yet this isn't necessarily a rookie class where
Speaker 2: you're gonna have guys that are usurping RB ones. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't think that, you know, barring some unforeseen development. So uh,
Speaker 2: I think kind of where we talk about at least
Speaker 2: these top end free agent running backs is probably, you know, again,
Speaker 2: barring something unforeseen, where we'll see them, you know, by
Speaker 2: the time we get to the draft and beyond.
Speaker 5: In terms of Diynosa rankings.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about Tony Poller, a guy that
Speaker 2: a lot of people, pretty much every fantasy analyst was
Speaker 2: super high on going into last season, none higher than
Speaker 2: debro and now, you know, coming off a down year,
Speaker 2: but there was still some stuff to like in the
Speaker 2: second half, there's still the possibility he gets in a
Speaker 2: pretty good landing spot. Fits. I'm curious, what do you
Speaker 2: think about Pollard's dynasty value heading into free agency?
Speaker 3: So I've got him RB sixteen, and it's hard to
Speaker 3: tell what was how much of it was his efficiency
Speaker 3: not carrying over from a limited role to an expanded role,
Speaker 3: which I think it's understandable that the more exposure a
Speaker 3: player gets in the more volume he gets. Maybe you
Speaker 3: know that outstanding efficiency just isn't going to hold. But
Speaker 3: it's also that maybe he wasn't healthy for much of
Speaker 3: last season, Like he had that tightrope surgery after he
Speaker 3: was hurt in the twenty two twenty twenty two playoffs.
Speaker 3: Had a boy I forget who it was. Was it
Speaker 3: Jimmy Ward who did that hip drop tackle on him?
Speaker 3: And you know, like I think he had like a
Speaker 3: hairline fracture in his fabula or tibia or something like that,
Speaker 3: in addition a very severe high ankle sprain, So he
Speaker 3: had surgery for that, and I think Pollard himself has
Speaker 3: said he was not fully healthy until maybe like the
Speaker 3: second half of the season. Yeah, so maybe we do
Speaker 3: get something of a rebound from him. He's an intriguing guy.
Speaker 3: It seems like maybe Dallas is ready to move on,
Speaker 3: so maybe he wants up in one of these really
Speaker 3: intriguing spots Houston or Baltimore.
Speaker 4: We haven't mentioned Minnesota. They're gonna need someone.
Speaker 3: They've released Alexander Madison and I don't think they're counting
Speaker 3: on ty Chandler to be their featured back. So yeah,
Speaker 3: he's an interesting guy. But I think I'd be willing
Speaker 3: to buy in on him in Dynasty if anyone, if
Speaker 3: his current stakeholder was somewhat disheartened the way twenty twenty
Speaker 3: three worked out.
Speaker 1: Bog mean, what do you think?
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that's perfect, exactly what fits said.
Speaker 5: I'll give one more. How about we put him in
Speaker 5: Philly to aggravate the Cowboys because they need a running
Speaker 5: back as well, so I think that could be a
Speaker 5: good land. My whole vision for Philly was Bucky Irving.
Speaker 5: Take Bucky Irving, Take Bucky Irving, and he was so
Speaker 5: miserable at the combine that now I think in the mock,
Speaker 5: I gave him Trey Benson. Gave them Trey Benson. So
Speaker 5: they're definitely looking for someone as well.
Speaker 1: So you missed.
Speaker 2: We talked yesterday about the NFC East, just like spin
Speaker 2: l Rouette wheel and basically Saquan to Dallas, Pollard to Philly.
Speaker 2: I think I think Ericson might have had DeAndre Swift
Speaker 2: to the Giants, or that might have been bogged me.
Speaker 2: But it was kind of just like everybody rotating around
Speaker 2: within the division, a division that hates each other, so
Speaker 2: it would be yeah, really fun. I do want to
Speaker 2: ask about DeAndrea Swift and Boggs. I'll start with you here,
Speaker 2: Swich as a guy whose dynasty value has basically gone.
Speaker 1: Down ever since he came into the league. Seemingly there's
Speaker 1: still talent there.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean not even seemingly like he had flashes,
Speaker 2: you know, even just last season in Philly, of course,
Speaker 2: behind a really nice offensive line and everything like that.
Speaker 2: Do you see him Moore as like a sell high
Speaker 2: given how he started last year, or maybe a bylow
Speaker 2: given he might have a different role somewhere else where
Speaker 2: he goes. How do you evaluate Swift?
Speaker 5: I'm selling him until I know where he ends up, right, Like,
Speaker 5: I think back to Philly is probably the best spot
Speaker 5: for him, you know, because he did play well there.
Speaker 5: And how much do you want to push Jalen Hurts
Speaker 5: into piles as he gets older, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's it's a move that works now. But I don't
Speaker 5: know if you keep doing that that you know Jalen
Speaker 5: Hurts won't have back problems, or you know, his hands
Speaker 5: will getting gnarled up in helmets in there or something like.
Speaker 5: I just don't want to keep doing that with a
Speaker 5: guy that you're gonna have to pay a ton of
Speaker 5: money to keep. So I think you know, whoever is
Speaker 5: the running back in Philly well have more touchdown opportunities
Speaker 5: this season for two reasons. Number one, because Kelsey is gone,
Speaker 5: as you mentioned yesterday, and that show worm. You know,
Speaker 5: he was an enormous part of the Tush push being
Speaker 5: successful because so many teams try to copy and could
Speaker 5: never get it right. So I think that's a big
Speaker 5: part of it. So I think Philly makes sense. I
Speaker 5: think a team with a high passing offense. You know,
Speaker 5: we're going to pass the ball a lot in Tennessee
Speaker 5: under Callahan, right, So I think that's a spot. I
Speaker 5: think Minnesota is a decent spot for him as well, so,
Speaker 5: but I think Philly owns the most for his top
Speaker 5: end potential. That's where i'd like to see him back.
Speaker 5: I just don't know if they're going to do it.
Speaker 1: If it's what do you think.
Speaker 3: I think he'd probably have to take a hometown discount
Speaker 3: to stay in Philly, you know, and he is a
Speaker 3: local guy, so maybe.
Speaker 4: That's a possibility.
Speaker 3: But we did see the Eagles let Miles Sanders walk
Speaker 3: the year before when he was coming off a really
Speaker 3: big year. So other than that, though, I mean, I
Speaker 3: agree with Bogs. It was interesting that he boy, like
Speaker 3: we thought maybe that was just the dream landing spot
Speaker 3: for him in Philly after he had what three hundred
Speaker 3: rushing yards combined in weeks two and weeks three against
Speaker 3: Minnesota and Tampa, like.
Speaker 4: That was spectacular.
Speaker 3: After that though only averaged like I think for the
Speaker 3: season he averaged four point six yards per carry, but
Speaker 3: after week three it was four point zero yards per
Speaker 3: carry because he just dominated so much in those first
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. Like he's still kind of a mystery guy,
Speaker 3: you know, like Detroit obviously soured on him. I guess
Speaker 3: whether Philadelphia makes any sort of earnest attempt to retain
Speaker 3: his services. We'll kind of speak volume about, like what
Speaker 3: the NFL has decided on DeAndre Swift right now, because
Speaker 3: we know he got the big thumbs down in Detroit
Speaker 3: after being there for a while, and you know, one
Speaker 3: of those guys who it seems like he has this
Speaker 3: really nice skill set and like, I don't know, it
Speaker 3: seems like he still hasn't found the right home.
Speaker 2: Maybe quickly fits before we move on for the running
Speaker 2: backs of these four Saquon Jacobs, Pollard and Swift, who
Speaker 2: would you sort of classify as the biggest by low
Speaker 2: potential of them? Heading into free agency, and who would
Speaker 2: you say is the most sell high.
Speaker 4: Option, Sell high Saquon by low Pollard.
Speaker 1: What do you think Bogman's same.
Speaker 5: Florship for me by low Saquon. I just I think
Speaker 5: Saquon's value is as low it's going to get over
Speaker 5: the next three seasons because the Giants are miserable. So
Speaker 5: I still believe in Saquon and Pollard. I don't know.
Speaker 5: Pollard has been hurt a bunch, you know. As soon
Speaker 5: as we put him in this spot where he gets
Speaker 5: all the carries, he gets hurt. So I think if
Speaker 5: I'm selling high on somebody, it's probably Pollard.
Speaker 2: By now, most of you have probably heard of Reality
Speaker 2: Sports Online, the powerful fantasy sports platform where owners get
Speaker 2: to build and manage their fantasy team like an NFL
Speaker 2: general manager.
Speaker 1: But the question is, have you tried it?
Speaker 2: It's time to go see what all the buzz in
Speaker 2: the dynasty community is about. Free agency, multi year contracts,
Speaker 2: a rookie draft, multi team trades, franchise tags, contract extensions,
Speaker 2: first round rookie options, automated contract and salary cap functionality, and.
Speaker 1: Much much more. Think it sounds complicated.
Speaker 2: It's not the best thing about Reality Sports Online Fantasy
Speaker 2: front office is that it doesn't take any more time
Speaker 2: than a standard league, It just requires more strategy. Think
Speaker 2: you're among the fantasy elite, Well, this is the platform

Speaker 2: sportsonline dot com. Guys.
Speaker 1: Let's move to the wide receivers here.
Speaker 2: As we talked about on yesterday's show, in the main feed,
Speaker 2: kind of the biggest names are sticking with their teams.
Speaker 2: Mike Evans resigned, Michael Pittman Junior, and T Higgins were
Speaker 2: given the franchs.
Speaker 1: So the you know, free agency class is not quite
Speaker 1: as appealing.
Speaker 2: And as we also talked about yesterday, the rookie class
Speaker 2: is so strong that I think a lot of NFL
Speaker 2: teams are going to say, why give big money to
Speaker 2: Gave Davis, for example, when I can go spend a
Speaker 2: Day two or three pick on a guy who probably
Speaker 2: has a higher ceiling and will be a lot cheaper
Speaker 2: and under team control for many years. The three free
Speaker 2: agents I really want to hit on here at Calvin Ridley,
Speaker 2: Marquis Brown, and gave Davis, just to give everybody a
Speaker 2: sense of kind of the tier we're working in with
Speaker 2: the wide receivers, you know, at the top of the
Speaker 2: free agency market. Given what we have here, that's enough preamble.
Speaker 2: Fits I'll start with you. Calvin Ridley, I think is
Speaker 2: sort of the biggest name here, at least he's done
Speaker 2: the most in the NFL to date. Where do you
Speaker 2: see his dynasty value coming off a really weird last
Speaker 2: couple of years for him?
Speaker 3: Yeah, boy, I don't know. I think I've got him
Speaker 3: like wide receiver thirty or something like that.
Speaker 4: For dynasty, and I I.
Speaker 3: Feel like that could be way too lower, way too high.
Speaker 3: He is just a hard guy to put a value on,
Speaker 3: Like had that monster season in twenty twenty ninety catches
Speaker 3: thirteen hundred and seventy four yards, nine touchdowns, average two
Speaker 3: point four to four yards per target last year thousand
Speaker 3: yard season, but one point five seven yards per target
Speaker 3: just not nearly as effective. You thought he was going
Speaker 3: to maybe go off after Christian Kirk got hurt. And
Speaker 3: by the way, Christian Kirk the poster guy for like
Speaker 3: wide receivers getting the bag in free agency.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen this year with
Speaker 4: the uh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's almost going to be like running backs, right
Speaker 5: fits like there were flooding the market with wide receivers
Speaker 5: after this draft class, so ye, you would think they
Speaker 5: should be pretty cheap here pretty soon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But like, Ridley didn't explode like you thought he
Speaker 3: would after Christian Kirk got hurt, and oddly enough, it
Speaker 3: seemed to be like whenever Zay Jones was healthy, Calvin
Speaker 3: Ridley did better, and when Jay Jones was hurt, like
Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley disappeared. It was just this we're dynamic with
Speaker 3: Ridley last year, So I don't know quite what to
Speaker 3: make of him or like what would be Have you
Speaker 3: guys thought about like a landing spot that you would
Speaker 3: like for Calvin Ridley? You know, it seems like the
Speaker 3: teams that most need him are not necessarily good spots
Speaker 3: for him, like Carolina, yeah, or New England.
Speaker 5: New England exactly if he I think my favorite spot
Speaker 5: for Ridley worm is the Jets, right, Like, they don't
Speaker 5: have much next to Garrett Wilson. You're getting Aaron Rodgers back.
Speaker 5: We assuming through free agency and the draft, you're going
Speaker 5: to improve that old line. So I think getting a
Speaker 5: guy like Calvin Ridley with some speed next to a
Speaker 5: guy like Garrett Wilson, who is a do it all guy,
Speaker 5: I think that would be a good spot for him,
Speaker 5: because I do think he'd be better in a spot
Speaker 5: where he's the two versus the one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say something similar in terms of
Speaker 2: I think he's he's better as an elite, complimentary piece
Speaker 2: than as the the guy that has to be the guy.
Speaker 2: I really don't know that there's like an obvious spot.
Speaker 2: I do wonder, and people are gonna say it's like
Speaker 2: because I'm a homer. Lamar really liked Calvin Ridley, you know,
Speaker 2: back back in that draft because obviously Lamar was drafted
Speaker 2: in the same year as him, but they talked in
Speaker 2: the you know, pre draft process a lot about how
Speaker 2: he really was a big fan of Calvin Ridley. I
Speaker 2: don't know if that is somebody that would still play out.
Speaker 2: You know, several years later, but that it is. The
Speaker 2: Ravens are a team where they have like a Mark
Speaker 2: Andrews and his flowers, and so they don't necessarily need
Speaker 2: really to be the number one guy.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't know that'll be vol They don't have money.
Speaker 2: They don't have a ton of money you know, available,
Speaker 2: or they're gonna give him money.
Speaker 5: They have the Henry right, we all know that, Yes, yes,
Speaker 5: of course ya.
Speaker 2: But they but that type of team, that type of
Speaker 2: setting where there are other options already it's already a
Speaker 2: good offense that he's just gonna be kind of that
Speaker 2: other piece. And I'm using the Ravens as an example,
Speaker 2: but I think there are other teams out there like that.
Speaker 2: I think it's probably the best fit for him. I
Speaker 2: don't know that there's a spot out there and fits
Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong. Where if he goes there,
Speaker 2: I'm going to definitely raise his dynasty value. I think
Speaker 2: the only options are dropping it. If he goes to
Speaker 2: like Carolina or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 3: He goes somewhere where they've got a healthy passing, gave
Speaker 3: him a good quarterback, and it's going to be a
Speaker 3: team where there's target competition, or he can go somewhere
Speaker 3: where he's the alpha, like as we mentioned, well Tennessee again,
Speaker 3: like New England.
Speaker 4: Who was the other one just talked about Carolina. Yeah, so.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a tricky situation here. I don't know
Speaker 3: what I would rather see him be the alpha with
Speaker 3: a lesser quarterback or go to someplace where you know,
Speaker 3: he had to share time.
Speaker 5: I would rather think get the worst corner on him,
Speaker 5: That's what I want. So, like you know, New Orleans,
Speaker 5: I don't know where they would get money. The cap
Speaker 5: is a joke. They've already shaved seventy million off, so
Speaker 5: I don't know how much more they can. But like
Speaker 5: New Orleans with Olave, the Jets with Wilson as you mentioned, Worm,
Speaker 5: the Ravens with Andrews and Flowers taking targets, I think
Speaker 5: those are all better spots for what he is, what
Speaker 5: he is currently at twenty nine.
Speaker 2: You know what I really enjoy seeing is him in
Speaker 2: Arizona when they also still draft Marvin Harrison right and
Speaker 2: pairing him with the guy like that I think would
Speaker 2: be super fun.
Speaker 5: And put him in Washington with t MA mac right, like,
Speaker 5: I think that's a good spot too. Kingsbury's offense where
Speaker 5: they're gonna pass a ton so he'll get the worst
Speaker 5: corner and he'll get more targets. So it something like the.
Speaker 2: Chicago you know behind DJ Moore. One of these types
Speaker 2: of places I think would be intriguing. Speaking of Arizona,
Speaker 2: Marquise Brown is also a free agent. I really don't
Speaker 2: know what's gonna happen with him if fits not to
Speaker 2: throw Ericson under the bus, But yesterday's show, I couldn't
Speaker 2: believe he put Markus Brown in Los Angeles with the
Speaker 2: Chargers as his predicted landing spot, and he asked Brown
Speaker 2: asked for a trade away from the Ravens because of
Speaker 2: the Greg Roman offense. So I don't know why he
Speaker 2: would voluntarily sign up for I know the Chargers need speed,
Speaker 2: but it just feels like I don't know that he
Speaker 2: hated the guy personally, but he hated playing in the
Speaker 2: Greg Roman offense.
Speaker 1: So I found that to be.
Speaker 2: Really shocking from Ericson yesterday, where do you see as
Speaker 2: an interesting landing spot for Hollywood Brown? And is there
Speaker 2: one that you know might make him a good bylow
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 4: Yeah? How about the Chiefs?
Speaker 3: Like the Chiefs an organization that clearly values speed at
Speaker 3: wide receiver, and that would be nice because as good
Speaker 3: as Rashid Rice was, he is a certain kind of
Speaker 3: receiver and he is not a lid lifter downfield guy.
Speaker 3: He is a short area catch and run guy. So
Speaker 3: get someone who can run the deep stuff. Give Patrick
Speaker 3: Mahomes a target to you know, when he wants to
Speaker 3: stretch the arm, like that would.
Speaker 4: Be the one. And I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I thought Markith Brown has sort of an overrated fantasy
Speaker 3: asset for a while. I mean, he just did turn
Speaker 3: twenty six, so that's good in dynasty, but he's only
Speaker 3: had one thousand yard season and even then it was
Speaker 3: just barely one thousand and eight yards and twenty twenty
Speaker 3: one six point five yards per target over the last
Speaker 3: three years. Like I I think he's kind of got
Speaker 3: his role, and that is as the take the top
Speaker 3: off the defense guy. And those guys are tricky fantasy
Speaker 3: assets to manage because like, some weeks are great and
Speaker 3: then there are three weeks in a row where he
Speaker 3: doesn't get more than you know, thirty five yards. So
Speaker 3: one of those guys who I would rather have a
Speaker 3: Best Ball Dynasty league than in a managed league for sure,
Speaker 3: but man, if you're gonna get me excited about him,
Speaker 3: Kansas City is one of the landing spots that would
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 2: I think you could probably say that for just about
Speaker 2: any wide receiver if they go to pretty much, but
Speaker 2: I about the speed, Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think with Marquise though, it might be the only
Speaker 5: place where you say, okay, this is where he goes
Speaker 5: and he really boosts his value because like, let's say
Speaker 5: he goes to the Chargers right out of all you know,
Speaker 5: awkwardness and whatever. With Greg Roman, we know they're gonna
Speaker 5: they're turning into a run first offense. So that's just
Speaker 5: no good for him. I think Washington maybe with Cliff
Speaker 5: Kingsbury as the OC with a defense, it's still bad
Speaker 5: that's going to have to play point for point. Put
Speaker 5: it make him the third in Miami, you know, uh,
Speaker 5: make him the third there. I think that would be
Speaker 5: fine for him as well. But I mean when we
Speaker 5: were doing our initial rankings earlier, before the combine and
Speaker 5: before the draft, obviously Fitz was the low man on
Speaker 5: Marquise with a bullet he had him at like sixties.
Speaker 5: So we know Fitz is not respecting Marquise too much anyway,
Speaker 5: and neither am I. I think he might be washed,
Speaker 5: so I.
Speaker 1: Don't want it.
Speaker 2: It's the oposit two of what we just said about
Speaker 2: the running backs, where you know the class is not
Speaker 2: sch the rookie class is not signed, that it's gonna
Speaker 2: knock down these guys when they eventually get drafted.
Speaker 1: The rookie wide receiver class.
Speaker 2: Will you know, all the types of guys we would
Speaker 2: talk about today are in a tier such that what
Speaker 2: a dozen rookie.
Speaker 1: Wide receiver is gonna be over them.
Speaker 2: I mean that's probably extreme, but it's it's like, I
Speaker 2: don't think that far off the class is that good
Speaker 2: that I think we really will see these sort of
Speaker 2: wide receiver three types in Dynasty will very quickly become
Speaker 2: wide receiver fours come the end of April.
Speaker 1: There is one more I mentioned earlier. Gabe Davis fits again.
Speaker 1: I'll start with you.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a guy he couldn't figure it
Speaker 2: out when there were targets of plenty in Buffalo, and
Speaker 2: he's playing with Josh Allen. Can he kind of take
Speaker 2: a next step somewhere else? To me, it feels like
Speaker 2: his Dynasty value has nowhere to go, but down. What
Speaker 2: do you think about Davis?
Speaker 4: Agree?
Speaker 3: If you can't make it work with Josh Allen, it's
Speaker 3: just he's not He doesn't earn enough targets to be
Speaker 3: a weekend, week out fantasy asset you can rely on.
Speaker 3: He's averaged four point seven targets a game over his
Speaker 3: career so far, and as you said, were, I'm like,
Speaker 3: how is it getting any better than it was with
Speaker 3: Josh Allen? You know a guy who's not shy about
Speaker 3: being aggressive throwing downfield. So yeah, you know they're gonna
Speaker 3: be the big games and the big plays with Gabe
Speaker 3: Davis there always are. But as far as being like
Speaker 3: an alpha receiver, I don't think that's the kind of
Speaker 3: guy he is.
Speaker 4: Bog.
Speaker 2: I mean, we hit on Davis a bit already yesterday,
Speaker 2: But from a dynasty's perspective, what do you think?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he's a one trick pony, right he is.
Speaker 5: He has. He had that huge game against the Steelers
Speaker 5: where he had like one hundred and seventy yards and
Speaker 5: two scores on his two catches, like the ninety six
Speaker 5: yard bomb then an eighty yard bomb or whatever, and
Speaker 5: that is what is keeping him in relevance recently, So
Speaker 5: I mean, look, you want to know where he's going
Speaker 5: to end up. Where they love to throw bombs and
Speaker 5: see the wide receiver dropping when they're wide open, the
Speaker 5: New York Giants. So that's probably why it'll end up.
Speaker 2: So, if you guys are anything like me, you have
Speaker 2: had plenty of terrible experiences buying tickets. I've been to

Speaker 2: the views are from the seats, and of course there
Speaker 2: are never any available deals to make it just a

Speaker 2: let's go to the non free agents that we think
Speaker 2: are going to be impacted by free agency. Here we
Speaker 2: can kind of take this in whatever direction we want,
Speaker 2: but these are.
Speaker 1: The guys whose value might go up.
Speaker 2: It might go down, they might be good buy buy
Speaker 2: low options, might be good sell high options ahead of
Speaker 2: the free agent frenzy coming next week, Bogman, let's start
Speaker 2: with the quarterbacks again. Who stands out to you as
Speaker 2: a player that could see their value change.
Speaker 5: I think there's two big ones back and it's Aid
Speaker 5: to O'Connell with the Raiders, depending on what they want
Speaker 5: to do at that position. Because the draft position is middling,
Speaker 5: it's gonna have They're gonna have to pay a lot
Speaker 5: to move up to get one of those big three guys.
Speaker 5: It's not impossible, but it is improbable. So then you
Speaker 5: look at the free agent market and there's not much
Speaker 5: there either. So it's either take a rookie like you know, Pennix,
Speaker 5: or you know, maybe trade down and try to get McCarthy,
Speaker 5: you know, as the fourth quarterback off the board, or
Speaker 5: Pennix bon Nix and stick with Aid and O'Connell. So
Speaker 5: I think there is a chance to Daid O'Connell sticks.
Speaker 5: And then the other one is my boy Penny Canny
Speaker 5: Pickett here. You know, if they do, if the Steelers
Speaker 5: do end up signing Russell Wilson or bringing Mason Rudolph back,
Speaker 5: I think that's a sign that Pickett is dead in
Speaker 5: the water, But I don't think that's gonna happen. So
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna end up being the starter under
Speaker 5: Arthur Smith for at least a season to see what
Speaker 5: he has and go from there. But you know, if
Speaker 5: they do end up signing someone, he would obviously lose
Speaker 5: pretty much all of his value.
Speaker 2: Fit's what do you think about those two Picket and
Speaker 2: O'Connell not really Dynasty starters right now as it is, obviously,
Speaker 2: but any chance for kind of value movement here.
Speaker 4: I don't know that there is.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think these guys are rosterble in Dynasty,
Speaker 3: but I think they are like QB four types for you, like,
Speaker 3: ideally you've got three quarterbacks who are starting somewhere. I
Speaker 3: don't know that these guys are going to be starters
Speaker 3: for the long haul, but they are at least good
Speaker 3: enough to be like top backups.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the super flexes where their value stands if
Speaker 5: they are any.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, talking super flex for sure. In one
Speaker 3: QB you're probably not even rostering these dudes.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I want to actually jump ahead to the tight ends
Speaker 2: because we didn't hit on any of them for the
Speaker 2: actual free agents, because they're just weren't that many super
Speaker 2: relevant ones, you know, bog me and again I'll throw
Speaker 2: it to you who stands out to you as a
Speaker 2: couple of tight ends that again base on what we
Speaker 2: see in free agency, could be by low or sell
Speaker 2: high options.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't know if it's so much free agency necessarily,
Speaker 5: but these three guys I think are going to be
Speaker 5: the affected the most going into this season. And I
Speaker 5: think it's Chicka Konkuo with the Titans because they're in
Speaker 5: play for Brock Bauers, right, so that's a big one.
Speaker 5: I think Greg Dulkich because I don't know if Denver
Speaker 5: is completely sold on him yet and he's been banged up.
Speaker 5: And then Kate Auten with the Bucks. It's a team
Speaker 5: that likes to pass a lot. His value is decent.
Speaker 5: He is a top twenty four. You know, we do
Speaker 5: have tight end premiums and two tight end leagues are
Speaker 5: more more popular these days. So these guys are you know,
Speaker 5: they're not necessarily tight end ones, but I think those
Speaker 5: are the guys that will be the most affected and
Speaker 5: potentially Bellinger of Darren Waller decides to retire like, I
Speaker 5: guess he's been kicking around, so fits, what do you
Speaker 5: think about the tight end spot?
Speaker 3: Yeah, conco Oh Konkwo is an interesting case because you know,
Speaker 3: he was a sleeper popular sleeper pick a year ago
Speaker 3: and it just kind of didn't happen. And yeah, I mean, obviously,
Speaker 3: if Bowers winds up in Tennessee, that completely obliterates any
Speaker 3: enthusiasm for Chigo Konkwall. But like, I don't know, I mean,
Speaker 3: I think we should not totally abandon hope with him.
Speaker 3: Like what we saw from him two years ago was
Speaker 3: pretty exciting.
Speaker 5: He could get traded too, Like if they go ahead
Speaker 5: and take Bowers, new coaching staff, new regime there, he
Speaker 5: could get flipped during the draft, No issue, wouldn't be surprising.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he is a fun guy to watch with
Speaker 3: the ball in his hands, So I'd just like to
Speaker 3: see a team that maybe endeavor to get the ball
Speaker 3: in his hands a little more often.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't need to sell me on Chicken Conko,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 5: That for sure, Maryland. That's right. Of course, Let's talk.
Speaker 1: With the running backs.
Speaker 2: You know, Bogs, you wrote down a bunch of them here,
Speaker 2: so I'll kind of let you steer which direction you
Speaker 2: want to take it. But again, a position where the
Speaker 2: rookies are probably not going to usurp a lot of
Speaker 2: veterans right away at least, But you know, there's there's
Speaker 2: a lot of role players in this rookie class that
Speaker 2: could maybe by the second half of the year. Again
Speaker 2: take away from the role players that are already in
Speaker 2: the NFL. It's not the three down backs. What do
Speaker 2: you think about you know, kind of the dynasty values
Speaker 2: shifting here.
Speaker 5: I think if you're talking top end talent, just who
Speaker 5: is next to guys like Travis et and Kyraen Williamson
Speaker 5: were shot White because all three of those running backs
Speaker 5: are the teams want to pull touches away from them.
Speaker 5: They got too many touches last season. I mean obviously
Speaker 5: with Kyri and he got hurt, right, ETN had the
Speaker 5: second most touches or the third most touches in the league.
Speaker 5: I think it was CMC. I can't remember who number
Speaker 5: two was and then him, So you know, Etn is
Speaker 5: way too many touches for Sean White wigh too many touches.
Speaker 5: So I think those guys all need a back next
Speaker 5: to them. So maybe those touches come down a little bit.
Speaker 5: And then just in terms of you know, these teams
Speaker 5: could take someone and then that guy could be the
Speaker 5: main guy and the guy in the job loses a
Speaker 5: lot ty. Jay Spears, who's currently ECRRB twenty Brian Robinson
Speaker 5: with Washington, I mean he might be affected just because
Speaker 5: the offense is gonna be way different. Jerome Ford, what
Speaker 5: is happening with Nick Chubb? Right? Like, Nick Chubb is
Speaker 5: coming off a major knee injury, leg injury really where
Speaker 5: his leg was demolished, and he's making a lot of
Speaker 5: money and the Browns a little bit cap strapped. So
Speaker 5: are they cutting him? Are they restructuring him? What's happening
Speaker 5: with him? And that affects Jerome Ford a ton. So
Speaker 5: I think there's a little bit there, And then you know,
Speaker 5: it's kind of a mess in Chicago ro Sean Khalil Herbert.
Speaker 5: What are we doing there? Are the Raiders bring in
Speaker 5: somebody with Jacob's gone? Or is Mere White getting the job?
Speaker 5: And then ty Chandler is currently the number one in Minnesota,
Speaker 5: You've got to assume they bring somebody else in. And
Speaker 5: then Bigsby, you know, they're saying all the right things
Speaker 5: about Bigsby, but I don't know if they believe it,
Speaker 5: because if he was good, I think he would have
Speaker 5: had touches last year to take away from Travis CTN.
Speaker 5: So those are the guys that I'm really focused on
Speaker 5: in terms of their value moving up or down during
Speaker 5: free agency in the draft.
Speaker 2: Bobs, let's wrap up with see the non free agent
Speaker 2: wide receivers. The first you have written down, I will
Speaker 2: just highlight because I think he's such an obvious on
Speaker 2: Drake London. If they get a healthy Kirk Cousins or
Speaker 2: you know, insert any capable quarterback here. We've talked about
Speaker 2: it a lot already. I mean, sky's a limit for
Speaker 2: a guy like London, and also you know Pitts and
Speaker 2: everybody else in that offense. But I think London is
Speaker 2: a very obvious Bilo. If you're in a league where
Speaker 2: they're not thinking about it like that, the thing is
Speaker 2: I think probably a lot of people are thinking about
Speaker 2: it the same way too, where they're really excited to
Speaker 2: set a new quarterback there. So in addition to Drake London,
Speaker 2: who else are you thinking about in this section?
Speaker 5: The Broncos guys you know, Cortland, Sutton and Jerry Judy
Speaker 5: Sutton was all touchdown production last year. Jerry Judy can't
Speaker 5: catch a football, so I don't know what they're doing
Speaker 5: with him. I think he sucks, So I'm so surprised.
Speaker 5: I thought he was a four shore locked great wide
Speaker 5: receiver prospect. He's been so bad in Denver, and you know,
Speaker 5: his whole beef with Steve Smith was the whole thing
Speaker 5: there as well. Quentin Johnson, what is happening in you
Speaker 5: know La? Are they cutting Mike Williams? Are they cutting
Speaker 5: Keenan Allen? That's gonna stave a lot of money? And
Speaker 5: they're Caps trapped right, And we have a whole new
Speaker 5: regime here that's going to want to run the football.
Speaker 5: So I can see both those guys gone. And now
Speaker 5: maybe Quentin Johnson is all of a sudden the number
Speaker 5: one on this team if they don't spend high on
Speaker 5: a wide receiver early in the draft. So I think
Speaker 5: he's the possibility to move up, as is Josh pal
Speaker 5: Traylon Burks with Tennessee. Are we giving him another shot
Speaker 5: or not? I'm done. I've seen enough. He's been too hurt.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's going to work. Availability as the
Speaker 5: best ability has been on the field right, So, and
Speaker 5: then Jonathan Mingo, I mean, the guy had no separation
Speaker 5: last year, but there was no one else to help.
Speaker 5: The old line was bad, the quarterbacking was bad. So
Speaker 5: what's happening with him? Is he still a two or
Speaker 5: are they just bringing in talent at this position? And
Speaker 5: then Jalen Hyatt, you know, I think you're there's so
Speaker 5: many issues with the Giants. I don't know if you
Speaker 5: go and get a Gabe Davis right, because you have
Speaker 5: so much money to spend on so many other holes,
Speaker 5: But what happens there? They need playmakers? He didn't do
Speaker 5: it last year. So does he just get pushed to
Speaker 5: the back of the depth chart because they bring in
Speaker 5: a free agent or they draft someone. These are the
Speaker 5: guys that I'm a little bit concerned about.
Speaker 2: Before we get out of here, I do just want
