00:00:12,130 --> 00:00:17,290
Hello and welcome back to Lab 52
with Dynasty Football podcast.

2
00:00:17,290 --> 00:00:20,850
I'm one of your hosts, the Tecmo
Weave, joined by my Co host

3
00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:24,610
Weapon X.
And as always, this is not

4
00:00:24,610 --> 00:00:28,130
dynasty advice.
This is Dynasty Insight.

5
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,640
This week we're going to be
covering a number of topics.

6
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,920
It's kind of a miscellaneous bag
of topics, but I think we're

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,680
going to start off the show with
a very, very important

8
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,640
announcement.
And it is.

9
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,080
We're going to start a new
dynasty league, a listener

10
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,560
league only that you can only
get access to by going to

11
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,320
lab52dynastyfootball.com.
You have to go to the website

12
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:02,440
and click on the section that
says contact me or contact us

13
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,720
and let weapon X and I know
you'd like to be a part of this

14
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,160
league, but let me tell you a
little bit more about it before

15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,240
before you say you want to sign
up.

16
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,160
It's not a we're not doing
anything to to outside the box

17
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,760
here.
It's a 12 team superflex PPR

18
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,200
league tight end premium, which
will just be a .5 on the

19
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,480
reception's.
All touchdowns including passing

20
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,280
will be 6 point touchdowns and
you're going to start 10.

21
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,760
Going to have one quarterback, 2
running backs, 3 wide receivers,

22
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,480
one tight end, 2 flexes, and a
super flex.

23
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,040
And here's something that part
of me is finding interesting.

24
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,400
And the other part of me says,
oh man, I love to trade.

25
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,840
This is going to be hard not to
do, but I think it'll make for

26
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,800
some interesting dynamics.
After the draft, there will be

27
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,040
no startup trades allowed.
You'll get your draft spot, your

28
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,440
draft, and then trades can
commence once the draft is over.

29
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,760
We're like any sort of legit
dynasty league.

30
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,440
We're going to use my fantasy
league.

31
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,880
We're going to use GroupMe.
We're going to use League Safe

32
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,760
and we asked that everyone pays
two years upfront.

33
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,280
So you have access to your your
draft picks one year out.

34
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:24,040
And then after the startup year,
it's just going to be $102.00

35
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,200
per year.
So the startup cost will be

36
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,520
$204.00 and every year after
that'll be 102.

37
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,920
So once again, if you're
interested, please go to

38
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:41,880
lab52dynastyfootball.com.
If you direct message me or

39
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,760
Weapon X, we can't sign you up
for it.

40
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,440
We, we don't have access to do
that.

41
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:48,600
You can only do it on the
website.

42
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,200
Do you think that's fair?
Weapon X?

43
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,320
Absolutely, yeah.
I think that's yeah, you did a

44
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,160
great job summarizing that.
The league settings and

45
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,040
everything is definitely an
exciting opportunity.

46
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,280
We talked about it throughout
the week.

47
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,560
Just thinking about how that
would look, you know, having a

48
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,280
listeners league, how that would
look to us for us in, in our our

49
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,720
show.
And I'm excited about it.

50
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,960
I think it's a really good
opportunity to, you know, just

51
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,000
boost the the engagement, you
know, as far as those who do

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,160
listen regularly, just get in
the league with us, you know,

53
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:22,680
and compete.
You know, you and I know we're

54
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,080
very competitive.
We love playing dynasty fantasy

55
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,160
football.
And I know anyone that's

56
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,800
listening, they also enjoy
dynasty as well.

57
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,480
So I'm definitely excited about
the opportunity to get a

58
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,720
listeners league and and engage
with the listeners.

59
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,120
I think that's going to be a fun
time.

60
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,600
I do too.
I'm looking forward to it.

61
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,360
Yeah, Once again, Lab 52,
dynastyfootball.com.

62
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,640
You can find us on Google.
We were there.

63
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,280
Go on the website, it's not
hard, and let us know you're

64
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,440
interested.
Give us your e-mail and say that

65
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,320
you're you want us to save you a
spot.

66
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,360
And we'll do that.
Once we got 12 teams full, we'll

67
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,760
be in touch.
So I guess that moving on to our

68
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,520
next, as I said today is
somewhat of a miscellaneous bag

69
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:12,120
of topics.
Man, this week it was the trade

70
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,760
winds were blowing in.
There's a lot of trades and I

71
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,399
want to get your take on a
handful of them before we move

72
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:24,800
on to some of our free agency
talk that we're going to do a

73
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,760
little bit later in the show.
Here's here's a trade I I did in

74
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,040
your league.
So you probably saw it and I was

75
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,120
finally able to get Marvin
Harrison Junior away from the

76
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,920
the owner.
He brought the price down to

77
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,840
something I felt was somewhat
reasonable.

78
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:45,800
I think that's what I wrote him
in my comments.

79
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,280
I said finally the price came
down to something reasonable and

80
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:56,720
it was a 2027 first Xavier
Worthy and Laquint Allen for

81
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,560
Marvin Harrison Junior and I,
and I would imagine the trade

82
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,880
calculators don't like that one.
My, my thoughts on it, It was

83
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,920
pretty simple.
I'm kind of cashing out on maybe

84
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,800
a little bit of the the reverse
hype.

85
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,720
You know, when there's Rashi
Rice, there's a negative

86
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,320
information he's falling.
So what does that mean?

87
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,800
People look at Xavier Worthy and
they say, oh, well, he's going

88
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,440
to get a shot.
And that's true.

89
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,680
And you're not going to go from
Xavier Worthy with a quint Allen

90
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,760
to get Marvin Harrison junior,
even though he's disappointed

91
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,400
for two years, I still think
he's worth a gamble on.

92
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,040
And I felt with that team in a
rebuilding stage, sometimes you

93
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,400
do just have to gamble some of
your money.

94
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,760
You have to put it in a volatile
asset that it it may not do

95
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:56,920
anything for you, but it it
could explode in value from your

96
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,880
original investment.
What do you think of that trade?

97
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,560
Yeah, I mean, I think it's a
good a trade for you as far as

98
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,400
your team, your roster build and
knowing, you know, how big of a

99
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,320
fan you are.
Marvin Harrison, you you've

100
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,840
talked about him being a guy you
could see really rise up the

101
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:14,440
rankings.
Obviously we discussed recently

102
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,320
this is a make or break year for
him, you know, for his dynasty

103
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,080
value, it's a huge year.
But for your team and you know,

104
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,760
for the context a little bit
around this 2027 first, it the

105
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,800
team that you're trade, you're
trading the the pick for it's

106
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,400
from a team that I believe you
know could be a a potential

107
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,840
playoff team.
So you know that that pick that

108
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:39,840
you're trading away in 2027
first, if it is a team that

109
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:42,960
makes the playoffs now you're
looking more mid to late.

110
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,000
So I think that's a decent a
decent trade for you.

111
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,440
I think Marvin Harrison is a guy
that if he does bounce back and

112
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,920
have a solid year, he's still
young.

113
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,800
He's still not even 24 yet.
He'll be 24 during the season.

114
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,600
But yeah, I think you're going
to return some pretty good value

115
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,360
if he bounces back well and then
at 2027 pick again, it's a very

116
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,880
strong class, but it is also a
pick that you don't know.

117
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,960
It's the unknown.
And Marvin Harrison junior right

118
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,640
now, while he hasn't played well
of late, he still has that

119
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,080
potential.
We know what his metrics are.

120
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,640
We know what he can do on the
field.

121
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,000
It's going to be exciting to see
what happens.

122
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,040
Xavier Worthy and Helen part of
the trade.

123
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,120
Obviously Worthy hasn't panned
out at all so far in his career.

124
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,440
Doesn't appear to be a situation
where you're going to see big

125
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,320
production from him right now.
He's it just seems like he's

126
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,960
always going to be a guy where
he could have an explosive play

127
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,440
here and there.
But Marvin Harrison junior

128
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,600
profiles as a guy who can who
could be a target hog in any

129
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,640
offense if he can live up to his
potential.

130
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,080
So I think that I think that
trade makes a lot of sense for

131
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,760
your roster development,
especially with all the 2027

132
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,720
first you have in that league.
So I I think it's a good pick,

133
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,280
good pick for you to to target a
guy like Marvin Harrison junior

134
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,520
in that type of trade.
I think that worked out well.

135
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,200
Yeah, I, I was excited for it.
It started my day off.

136
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,960
Well, here's one we talked,
here's one we talked about

137
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,160
yesterday.
It was George Pickens.

138
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,920
And every, every time I see
George Pickens and now I now I

139
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,440
have him, a couple shares of
him, sort of reminds me of a

140
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,120
little bit of Antonio Brown.
You know, like this guy, he can

141
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,920
be, you know, just like real
dominant out on the field.

142
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,360
But you know, you just don't
know if like he he's kind of

143
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:36,000
got, you know, the both edges of
the sword here that you know,

144
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,200
it's it's some of his his
attitude going to work against

145
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,600
him.
Or is that really just all

146
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:44,880
contract talk?
But I sent what projects to be

147
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:51,600
an early 27 first in a league
for George Pickens, just

148
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,440
straight up.
And that's a league.

149
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,120
I, I was kind of taught.
I guess I can say I was tired of

150
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,960
being in the rebuilding stage.
Granted, it was only one year.

151
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,240
I, I, I do.
I've never claimed to be a

152
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,440
patient person.
And I said, no, I want to, I

153
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,000
want to start to fill out this
roster and fill out this

154
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,560
starting line up.
So an early 27 first for George

155
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:17,160
Pickens.
How does how does that sound?

156
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,920
That one, we did talk about that
one during the week.

157
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,600
George Pickens right now is
DLFADP currently is 19.

158
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,360
So you're you're talking about a
second round startup draft pick

159
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880
currently right now and you
traded him straight up.

160
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,560
I mean you traded first round
pick straight up for him.

161
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,400
You project it to be an early
first round pick.

162
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,520
And again, those are those are
sometimes you could definitely

163
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,720
tell which ones are going to be
early.

164
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,440
We know, but then there's always
things that happen throughout

165
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,840
the year, you know, you don't
know what type of trades that

166
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,200
team will make.
You have no idea how things will

167
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,640
fall.
So that pick that you project

168
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,280
early 1st, if that ends up being
maybe a four or five or six.

169
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,800
That it's even more much better.
Yeah, it's even more of a value

170
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,280
win for you.
Of course, it ends up #1 we're

171
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,720
going to be talking about this
next year.

172
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,360
And you may not be as excited
about it looking at looking at

173
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,120
Jeremiah Smith going to someone
else's team.

174
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,720
But just on face value, George
Pickens for a projected early

175
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,600
first, Yeah, I think that's
tremendous.

176
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,920
It's a second round startup
pick.

177
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,160
He he's my #10 ranked receiver
in dynasty currently.

178
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,920
Right now.
I feel strong about his

179
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,160
potential.
And he he's he's in a team

180
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,440
that's going to throw the ball
out.

181
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,120
This is the type of team you
want to have receivers on.

182
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,320
We talked about CD land.
We've talked about Pickens many

183
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,840
time, many, many times.
He's an outstanding talent.

184
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,560
He's 25, He had a tremendous
year and he's just going to

185
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:42,840
continue to build with that.
Prescott and CD Lamb on the

186
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,160
other side is not, you know,
obviously target wise it may

187
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,200
limit him reaching that high
ceiling of targets, but it's not

188
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,000
it.
It's not as big of an issue as

189
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,600
we think it on a team that
passes as much as they do.

190
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,320
So yeah, I don't, I think you
should feel good about that

191
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,160
because those 2027 first, while
they are valuable, you're

192
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,880
getting a known second round
dynasty ADP startup pick and I

193
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,720
think that's strong.
And I think that's, that's

194
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,480
generally the, the attitude I
had that OK, the known here,

195
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,880
this is, this is decent value.
Even if this, you know, if it

196
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,920
does become Jeremiah Smith,
which it, it's, it's certainly

197
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,280
in the ballpark that it might,
but you don't, you're right, you

198
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,400
don't know.
So I felt cashing out for the

199
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:35,120
known made sense at this value.
And that'll that'll bring me to

200
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,200
my my next question about George
Pickens.

201
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,080
But did did you have something
you wanted to add?

202
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,400
Yeah, one more thing.
When you're trading a first

203
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,840
round pick that you think could
be early, you want to trade for

204
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,280
players like George Pickens
because they have the age

205
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,680
insulation.
He's 25, so if he if he plays

206
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,400
well this year, he's still going
to hold his value for another

207
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,920
couple years.
It's not like you're trading

208
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,360
for, you know, say an A.J.
Brown coming off a Goodyear

209
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,920
who's now 2829 years old heading
into 30 year old territory.

210
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,200
After a couple years, the value
is going to continue to drop

211
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,760
with George Pickens.
He's still at the at a good age

212
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,960
where he's going to continue to
raise in value if he plays well

213
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,960
and he's going to hold that
value for we always talk about

214
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,520
two to three-year window.
He's going to hold value in that

215
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,800
two to three-year window if he
plays well.

216
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,440
So you're not going to obviously
it's going to be tough if it

217
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,880
ends up being Jeremiah Smith
because he might be a first

218
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,080
round startup pick next year.
You know, God willing, he stays

219
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,120
healthy, everything goes well
with him during the season.

220
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:33,960
He's going to be a first round
startup pick next year if if

221
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,560
everything stays how it is now.
But just like I said on face

222
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,960
value, George Pickens for 2077
first, that is a good trade.

223
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,520
Terrific.
Well, I like to hear that.

224
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,400
That brings me to my next next
point here.

225
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,280
This is actually a league mate
reached out to me with this

226
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,560
question just to get my my
feedback on it.

227
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:59,560
So it wasn't a trade, but it
involves two players that I had

228
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:02,760
traded for recently, George
Pickens and Chase Brown.

229
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,080
And he said OK, I'm in a
contract league and I can only

230
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,840
keep one of these players.
I don't play in any contract

231
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,600
league.
So thankfully I didn't have to

232
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,240
attempt to answer any questions
regarding the contracts.

233
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,440
And he said the format is 1/2
point PPR for wide receivers and

234
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:27,120
.25 reception points per
reception for running backs and

235
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,040
you can keep George Pickens or
Chase Brown.

236
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:36,560
And I said, well, you know, my
my take on it was some of what

237
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:41,160
you mentioned about the age
insulation and the fact that

238
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,360
George Pickens and if we assume
he's not going to stay in

239
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,960
Dallas, but you know, we don't
know they could get show CD Lamb

240
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,400
the door or they do re sign him.
They just keep him around.

241
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,920
They see that he's the future,
but at worst his name stays in

242
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,880
the news because he's going to
be getting a new contract.

243
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,600
And that became kind of
something I was like, OK, you

244
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:13,040
know, he's he's a high end
player and dependent on your

245
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,240
team.
Need how competitive you are

246
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,280
this year.
I mean, maybe if you really

247
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:23,280
needed a running back and you
were trying to compete, I might

248
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,240
say Chase Brown, depending on
how hard it is to get a player

249
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,200
in your league.
But I I sided with Pickens.

250
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,880
I said in a vacuum, give me
George Pickens.

251
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,840
At least his name and value are
going to be continuing to point

252
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,320
up.
And you know, outside of some

253
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:43,840
sort of injury that when a
player gets a new contract with

254
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,800
a current team or a new team, at
least the dynasty community

255
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,120
usually feels positive about
that initially.

256
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,440
Who would you take, Pickens or
Chase Brown?

257
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,160
Yeah, I think it's I I like both
players.

258
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,040
I I really like Chase Brown.
I think he's I think he's really

259
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,080
shown out really well.
Last year he played tremendously

260
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,280
in the second-half of the year.
He's in a great situation and

261
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,400
and a really good offense.
But you got a 25 year old

262
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,760
receiver coming off of monster
year in a really good situation

263
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,360
and then a 26 year old running
back also in a good situation.

264
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,080
But.
I think when you're talking

265
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,440
dynasty, who holds the value
longer?

266
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,640
It's the younger receiver.
They're going to hold the value

267
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,240
longer.
And if everything is equal in a

268
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,480
vacuum and both players have
good seasons, George Pickens is

269
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,200
the guy you want to want on your
roster heading in the 2027 as

270
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,720
well.
Just, you know, you think about

271
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,800
a 26 year old receiver heading
in the 2027 or and then a 27

272
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,880
year old running back, you know,
it just feels different, you

273
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,080
know.
So I think while I like both

274
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,240
players, while I like Chase
Brown, I think he's a, he's a,

275
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,480
he's a running back one.
I think he can be really, really

276
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,400
strong for a contending team.
I think George Pickens is the

277
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,360
player you want because he's
going to hold value.

278
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,640
He's just going to hold value
longer.

279
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,240
And I think that's so important
in dynasty.

280
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,280
Absolutely, absolutely.
Well, it sounds like we.

281
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,040
I love that person in the right
direction, so I'm glad you

282
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:11,760
confirmed that I got two more
quick trades for you and this

283
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,600
one you'll like.
I know you have a share of this

284
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,120
player and it involves kind of
two higher end players or two

285
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,120
players you'll like.
I I was happy with the side of

286
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,560
the deal I got on this one and
that tells you how much I needed

287
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,560
this player, but also how much I
like this player.

288
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,920
I gave Luther Burden and a
future 4th and received Kenneth

289
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:38,360
Walker and that's in a super
flex PPR, you know, kind of your

290
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,280
standard format league.
So you said Luther Burden in

291
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,440
future 4th rounder.
Yeah, 4th 1234.

292
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,160
OK, so Luther Burden for kind of
the walkers essentially what

293
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:55,360
we're talking about here.
Yeah, kind of Walker, I think he

294
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,680
is in a tier right now with guys
like James Cook, Jonathan

295
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,120
Taylor, Breeze Hall.
I think that's a really good

296
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,960
running back tier to be in.
He's 25, age insulation is good.

297
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,160
He's he just got a really good
contract with Kansas City Arrows

298
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,960
pointing up big time for him.
Luther Burden as well in a in a

299
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,960
spot where it's going to be
really interesting to see what

300
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,960
happens this coming season.
We've talked about him a lot

301
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,680
already where we love the
talent.

302
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,839
We we we love.
You know what he can do the

303
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:25,200
explosive that the explosive
that he has on the field.

304
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,520
But just straight up trade.
Yeah, I think Kenneth Walker.

305
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,560
Yeah, I think Kenneth Walker is
what I would rather have in a

306
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,520
straight up deal.
But I will.

307
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,720
I'll throw a caveat out there.
If Luther Burden has a strong

308
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,040
year, you're going to want him,
you're going to want him heading

309
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,840
in the next, you're going to
want him heading in the next

310
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,480
year.
But that's why that's.

311
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,640
How this exercise works?
But that's why this trade is

312
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,880
tough, though it's a little
tougher than it, you would

313
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,040
think, because if all things are
equal and both players have

314
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,440
strong seasons, you're going to
want Luther Baradon because his

315
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,120
his value.
We talk about it, the receivers

316
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:07,160
that are young, that are coming
off good seasons, that have a

317
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,720
good profile, you know, good
draft capital.

318
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,040
Those are the guys that contain
value.

319
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,080
Hold it.
Kenneth Walker, he he, he may

320
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,000
produce bigger numbers for you
this year and help your team out

321
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,720
this year.
I think that's, you know, if

322
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,960
both players are healthy, I
think it's pretty safe to say

323
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,440
Kenneth Walker will probably
help your team out more right

324
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,800
now this year.
And if that's where you're going

325
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,560
for, absolutely you did.
You did a heck of a job.

326
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,760
But I I sighed on the Kenneth
Walker side just because I know

327
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,160
you know, you're he holds better
value right now, currently at

328
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,600
this moment.
So if we have to make the

329
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,360
decision today, yeah, Kenneth
Walker, I would go with him.

330
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,080
Yeah.
And it was it was a trade that

331
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,840
was driven by, you know, how,
how competitive you are right

332
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,760
now.
I needed running backs,

333
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,720
competitive team, you know, top
three, top four team in the

334
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,040
league.
And I felt like, OK, it's, it's

335
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,840
it's real nice to have on paper
to have Luther Burden and all

336
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,280
these wide receivers on your on
your roster.

337
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,680
But when you're looking to
compete in that two to

338
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,360
three-year window, you can't,
can't necessarily afford a

339
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,720
developmental year where, OK,
well, he, he improved, but he,

340
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,200
he didn't, you know, put up 1400
yards and 15 touchdowns like

341
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,480
Kenneth Walker did.
So and I guess that's a big part

342
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,520
of dynasty, right?
You got to kind of balance

343
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,600
production with potential.
Yeah, 100%, yeah, yeah.

344
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,240
And that's what makes these
trades so, so interesting and

345
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,200
fun to discuss because for one
team, Kenneth Walker, for one

346
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,600
dynasty manager, that's the guy
you want.

347
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,120
And but then a different dynasty
manager differently, Luther

348
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:52,920
Burden makes way more sense for
the roster build construction.

349
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,120
And you know, they could be, you
know, a team that's developing

350
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:59,680
and and looking towards, you
know, maybe the next year 2027.

351
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,760
So that's why trades and dynasty
are always so interesting,

352
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,560
because every you have to have
context behind each team, but in

353
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,640
a vacuum, you know?
Kenneth Walker is the guy you

354
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,680
want in a vacuum right now, all
things equal.

355
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,720
So yeah, I don't, I don't think
there's any issue with that one.

356
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,160
All right, I got one more told
you it was a a super busy week

357
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,640
with trades.
It was exciting.

358
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,680
And this is a player we'll get
to a little bit later.

359
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,200
I know you told me in the the
pregame chat or a pre podcast

360
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:36,360
chat that he's one of your
followers in your ADP and I sent

361
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:43,760
Bucky Irving, Jay Jalen Higgins
and for Trayvon Henderson.

362
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,200
So got Bucky and Higgins for
Henderson.

363
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:49,600
Yeah.
What are you?

364
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,360
And that's in a super flex, all
kind of standard format.

365
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:58,760
Yeah, so with this one, this one
is, I don't, I don't know, like

366
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,560
this one is hard.
I don't think there's a a

367
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,800
massive win either way, Bucky.
Yes, we'll talk about it a

368
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,800
little later on.
I have like fallers right now as

369
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,320
far as, you know, ADP and
everything, just because, you

370
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,200
know, the injury is concerning
still.

371
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,080
Obviously they brought in a guy
who is tremendous out of the

372
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,880
backfield, you know, catching
the ball.

373
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,480
So that could take away from his
upside, you know, at the passing

374
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,200
game.
And yeah, I mean, I just think

375
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,280
Travion Henderson, man, when he
had that opportunity to to play

376
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,040
with our reminder Stevenson out
the the plays he was making it

377
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:39,400
it, it just looked like Travion
in college.

378
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,680
You know, how how easy it look
for him to just he's a fun

379
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,000
player to watch.
But it's also interesting

380
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,760
because it seems like the, you
know, last year, obviously first

381
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,680
year, rookie year, you can't
fully go on that based on that,

382
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,040
everything you see.
But they didn't seem to trust

383
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,280
him a whole lot.
Romandre Stevenson, while he's a

384
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,760
very solid NFL football player,
he is nowhere near the talent

385
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,640
Trayvon Henderson is.
So obviously the draft capitals

386
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,680
there with Trayvon.
So who will hold value longer?

387
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,000
We like to talk about that.
Yeah.

388
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,240
It really, really comes down to
what we're going to see this

389
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,680
year.
I think that trade is really

390
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,320
close.
I think, I think I, I don't know

391
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,680
what if you looked it up on
calculators or anything, I think

392
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,360
they're probably close.
They're close in rankings.

393
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:29,320
I mean, I'm looking at, I look
at my rankings right now, I have

394
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:34,720
Trayvon Harrison, RB-14 and
Bucky Urban, RB 19.

395
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,560
So not too far apart in the
rankings.

396
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,080
But so if I'm going based on
that, yeah, Trayvon Henderson is

397
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,480
the player you want.
But again, it's really going to

398
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,280
come down to, to what their
coaching staff gives them the

399
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,440
opportunity to do this year.
So I would say Trayvon Henderson

400
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,680
is the guy you want right now if
you're just going to make that

401
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,840
trade, just because I think
right now he has more value

402
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,840
currently, but it's not by a
whole lot.

403
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,040
But Bucky's at value has been
dropping as I've seen start up

404
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,920
drafts, I've seen them and I
think Bucky Irving has been one

405
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,840
of the fallers recently.
Yeah, that was that was the

406
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,040
reasoning.
I, I, I don't know, Bucky's just

407
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,440
starting to scare me.
And you know, what do they say?

408
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:21,520
You know, to the, you know, the
fortune favors the bold, right?

409
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:28,000
So if you can look into the the
face of the the Bucky, you know,

410
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,520
the negative cloud around him
right now, you get kind of a

411
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,800
nice value and you're getting
that player that was, you know,

412
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,680
a top ten, easily a top ten
dynasty back a couple years ago.

413
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:45,520
And then plus, you know, Jaden
Higgins in Houston, who, you

414
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,200
know, he's kind of one injury
away from one Nico injury away

415
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,160
from being the guy.
And he also had, you know,

416
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,280
significant draft capital as an
early second round pick.

417
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,920
So yeah, I agree.
I don't think there's a big win

418
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,560
one side or another.
It's just Trayvon Henderson.

419
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,200
He's just a player in a lot of
leagues.

420
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,240
I don't know when I when I see
him play, I'm just like, man,

421
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,600
that that guy's really electric
when he gets the ball and he can

422
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,920
hit that home run play that
splash play for you.

423
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,160
And while for whatever reason
they want to give the ball to

424
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,720
reminder Stevenson, who would
they say fumble something like

425
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,120
10 times last year or seven
times?

426
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,600
I thought that was supposed to
be a big no no in in New

427
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,600
England.
I don't know, but I just don't.

428
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,120
I just don't think when you have
the draft capital and the talent

429
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:40,840
and I'm the field production and
then he got fumbling problems by

430
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,800
your backfield mate, they they
can say whatever they want to

431
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,840
say right now.
That's not going to hold up very

432
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,000
long.
So it might be a little bit of a

433
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,600
waiting game and I have to worry
about the guy with an injury

434
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,160
that's still dealing with an
injury of what a, you know, two

435
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,160
months away from from training
camp.

436
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,760
No, I don't want to have to
worry about that.

437
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,680
Yeah.
For sure.

438
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,440
I think like you said, a waiting
game.

439
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,200
It's very true.
You may have to wait a little

440
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,160
longer to to get, you know, the
production from Trayvon Harrison

441
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,760
than Bucky Irving.
Bucky Irving, you know, if he

442
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,760
goes into the season healthy,
he's going to be the starter.

443
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,720
You know, he's going to be the
Week 1 starter in our offense.

444
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:25,800
But Trayvon Henderson, if he
pops off a couple big plays in

445
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,240
the first couple weeks, that
that backfield is going to start

446
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,800
shifting his way.
I mean, it it, it has to, you

447
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,480
know, they're not going to, they
can't keep him off the field if

448
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,800
he's produced.
They just can't do it.

449
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,160
He's too good of a player.
They're too good of a team to to

450
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,120
just let Trayvon Anderson watch
Ramandra Stevenson on the field

451
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,800
all game long.
It's just not going to happen.

452
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,120
Stevenson will get his work.
They like him, they trust him.

453
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:52,720
He's, you know, good pass
blocker, you know, they trust

454
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,120
him.
And, and, and that, that does

455
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:56,960
matter, especially with the
coaching staff they have.

456
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:00,960
When you have a coaching staff
that's been doing it for a long

457
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,280
time, trust in the player does
matter.

458
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,320
But I think Trayvon Henderson's
going to start earning that

459
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,640
trust more and more.
I, I love the talent.

460
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,560
He's one of the guys I'm really
excited about watching this

461
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,280
year.
I think you know, he, it's

462
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:18,280
interesting with him.
I haven't seen him fall too far,

463
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,600
but I've never I haven't seen
him go too high.

464
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,800
He's kind of just been stagnant
like on an island this whole

465
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,240
offseason.
How do you what do you think?

466
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,200
Like it's kind of hasn't really,
nothing really changed a whole

467
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,920
lot with his draft, draft value.
Yeah, it just seems wherever I

468
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,720
try to get him his, his price is
always really high.

469
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,000
Everybody, everybody seems to
like him a lot or, or they're

470
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,400
just listening to this show and
then they're saying, Oh, well,

471
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,760
I'm just going to charge him
more.

472
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,880
But a lot of the ranking sites,
they and then, you know,

473
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,280
certainly different YouTube
video, video review shows,

474
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,160
things like that.
They seem to be down on him

475
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:59,320
like, oh, you know, we'll just
tear down and get Trayvon

476
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,480
Henderson.
You know, he's the RB20.

477
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,840
Like really.
Yeah, that doesn't seem like how

478
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,240
I would rank him.
He's he's not just a throw in

479
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:13,120
player, you know, at least in
the communities that I'm playing

480
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:18,000
in.
So I guess So what I guess

481
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,360
ultimately the the media that
I'm reading is not being

482
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:24,840
reflected in the reality I'm
experiencing.

483
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,200
But I guess we could say that
for a lot of the news stories we

484
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,520
read.
Yeah, yeah.

485
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,360
All right, well, we'll move on
to we talked, we kind of

486
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:39,960
foreshadowed this last week.
It's some free agency talk.

487
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,000
We had a listener say, hey, talk
about some free agents and where

488
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,440
they could go.
And believe me, I so that's,

489
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,480
that's a part of the show we're
on here right now.

490
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,680
And I'll set it up with some of
the information I found.

491
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,280
And it feels like I, I did a lot
of digging, did a little bit of

492
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:03,520
reading and we're left with, you
know, well, if you find a bunch

493
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,160
of junk in the trash, you know,
what's the most valuable junk

494
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:13,920
you have, it's still just junk.
And, you know, are some of these

495
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,480
players that are old coming off
as significant injuries they

496
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,560
haven't produced in numerous
years?

497
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,200
Like, are we supposed to expect
DeAndre Hopkins to just all of a

498
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,120
sudden you put them in on the
Raiders and he's he's going to

499
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:31,160
be a valuable part of your team?
I don't think so, but I guess

500
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,640
I'll let the listener do the do
the analysis on that one.

501
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,320
I looked on a couple different
sites and and I looked for most

502
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,360
remaining amount of money.
So what teams have the most

503
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,560
money to spend?
And then I started to think, OK,

504
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,440
you know, it's clearly when you
spend money on a team, it's not

505
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,520
just for fantasy purposes.
You're going to spend on the

506
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,800
offensive line, defensive line
and all the spots in between.

507
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,880
Not just our quarterback,
running back, wide receiver,

508
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,160
tight end.
But so the top ten teams that

509
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,880
had money to spend, and I also
added on a few others that I

510
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,880
thought were interesting.
Number one is the 49ers.

511
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,680
Do you see any clearing needs?
I mean, not really at running

512
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:23,040
back and a quarterback.
Maybe a tight end.

513
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,160
Wide receiver?
Not really.

514
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,560
They already signed Mike Evans.
Yeah, when they draft a draft

515
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,120
capital with a second round
draft pick there too, they

516
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,360
drafted a receiver.
So, yeah, I mean, the Niners are

517
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,480
really well built team.
Obviously every team could use

518
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,280
something you know, you're not
going to, you know, if you have

519
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,240
a chance to improve your team,
you're going to do it.

520
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,840
But that's that's a team that's
set up really well right now.

521
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,440
So I don't see any glaring needs
and anyone that's available

522
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,920
right now that's going to boost
their chances even further than

523
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,320
they already are.
Yeah, and I guess maybe before I

524
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,280
go down in the next remaining
nine teams, these are the

525
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,280
players and maybe you found some
other ones.

526
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,040
These are the best free agents I
found that are still available.

527
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,400
So and I and I certainly can't
account for some, you know,

528
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,120
mystery breakout by, you know, a
free agent that nobody's ever

529
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,200
heard of or some sort of a
career resurgence that's, you

530
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,480
know, that's would be outside of
my ability to predict.

531
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,920
But the only quarterback of note
that is available right now is

532
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,800
Russell Wilson.
Is, is there any team that you

533
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,960
would imagine that unless
outside of an injury, he's not

534
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,680
going to be starting for any
team?

535
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,400
So when we look at Russell
Wilson, is he worth picking up?

536
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,680
Maybe in a super flux?
Like sure, he got the the bench

537
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,200
space, but I wouldn't anticipate
he's going to go in and and make

538
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:55,120
a a big impact for your team.
He just might be a stash at

539
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,920
running back.
We got Najee Harris, who in

540
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
September of 2025, we were
talking about torn Achilles.

541
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,520
Yeah, that's what happened to
him.

542
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,480
So you got Naji Harris.
He's still on the market.

543
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,000
A Joe Mixon mystery injury.
We don't know what's going on

544
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,160
there.
Nick Chubb, Austin Eckler,

545
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,200
Antonio Gibson.
Do it.

546
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,920
Do any of those names earn a
comment from you?

547
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,400
Yeah, it's, it's tough, man.
Obviously if we're talking about

548
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,680
these guys five years ago, we're
pretty excited.

549
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,520
But man, it's, it's tough.
These guys we're talking about

550
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,960
earlier, a lot of the available
free agents are big names that

551
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,680
we've known for years, but
they're at the stage of their

552
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,920
career where they're just trying
to find one more contract.

553
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,400
They're out of their prime.
Recently, what we've seen for

554
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,360
them hasn't been great.
I mean, some of the players like

555
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,280
Stefan Diggs have looked decent
of late, but there's guys like

556
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,720
Ayuk who we haven't even seen
play football, you know, since

557
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,720
the first car was made.
I don't know what year that was,

558
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,160
but it's it's it's absolutely
crazy.

559
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,960
Like interesting names.
Just because they can help a

560
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,520
team's depth chart, they can
help an NFL football team.

561
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:15,360
But for dynasty purposes, I
don't, I'm not, I'm not seeing a

562
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,200
dynasty player that's going to
help you right now.

563
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,400
And you're not if you're holding
these guys on your roster, it's

564
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,560
OK, But you're hoping they
become a flex for you.

565
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,680
I I don't see them entering your
starting lineup outside of a

566
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,840
flex spot.
You know, like, like you Mets

567
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,320
and Joe Mixon, we talked about
him a couple months ago.

568
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,760
What in the world is even going
on?

569
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,120
Like, do you have you heard
anything and all about Joe

570
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,120
Mixon?
Is no like.

571
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,480
I haven't heard it.
That's what I'm saying.

572
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,480
Like these the players were
talking about, there's just been

573
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,440
no news.
Even Tyree Kill, as big a name

574
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,920
as he is, we've heard the chiefs
rumors all that.

575
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,760
I mean, of course that naturally
you're going to hear that

576
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,400
because that's where he played
before you know, that's that's a

577
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,280
team that it makes sense for him
to go there.

578
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,360
But we don't even know if he's
going to be healthy to start the

579
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,920
year.
And even if he is, we don't know

580
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,920
what we're going to see.
We have no idea.

581
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,680
So while these were a tremendous
players a few years back, now

582
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,640
we're they're all an interesting
stage of the career where

583
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,720
they're trying to prove
something, but also they're way

584
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,560
out of their product.
So it's really hard to tell.

585
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,720
Yeah, Yeah, I think that's
exactly it.

586
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,120
I mean, you know, you want to
maybe keep these guys on your

587
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,440
radar, but to go out of your way
to acquire them at this point.

588
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,720
Then I guess it depends what
you're, how much roster space

589
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,360
you have.
Yeah, the good news.

590
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,720
Here's the good news, though.
We've covered quarterback and

591
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,000
running back so far.
Now we're going to cover wide

592
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,600
receiver.
This is the most promising group

593
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,520
you got Stefan Diggs.
I do think in the right

594
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:49,920
situation, such as maybe the
commanders, they have the 4th

595
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,600
most money available to spend.
If you put Stefan Diggs on the

596
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,360
commanders, he certainly would
have a starting role.

597
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,040
That would be great.
You know, Debo, he's just been

598
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,520
looking slower and more
ineffective each and every year.

599
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,440
I I, I have a hard time being
excited about wherever he will

600
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,840
go, even if he went to the
Raiders, who I have here as

601
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,840
11th, yeah, there would be a lot
of targets open.

602
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,400
So I mean, he'd have to go to
some place to really, if he'd

603
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,679
want to put down some blind bid
dollars for him, you know, he'd

604
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:25,520
really have to ultimately go to
the Raiders because all the

605
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,239
other teams there is just too,
too competitive for him to be

606
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,040
earning a lot of targets.
Keenan Allen, he's still on the

607
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,280
market.
I, I just hope, hope he doesn't

608
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,360
go back to the Chargers, but he
might.

609
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:45,440
And DeAndre Hopkins, Tyree Kill.
So you take those as a listener

610
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,679
and you rank them however you
want to rank them, and their

611
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:52,520
landing spot is going to matter.
If Keenan Allen goes to the

612
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,920
Panthers, well, that doesn't
feel like a great landing spot.

613
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,600
You know, it certainly would be
worse than the Chargers.

614
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,240
So we'll just have to wait and
see.

615
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:07,600
But that seems to be the most
promising group of free agents

616
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,920
that we have.
And then depending on if you're

617
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,880
at a Titan Premium league, I
found two names here, Jonnu

618
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,320
Smith and Darren Waller.
Darren Waller, you know, he he

619
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,440
did the unbelievable last year.
He came back after retiring and

620
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,440
usually that's not a recipe for
any sort of fantasy impact and

621
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,640
he did really well.
So but nobody's picked them up

622
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,960
yet.
And you know, the when I was

623
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,680
going through this list here, I
said, oh, why don't the Dolphins

624
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,120
just sign all these free agents?
They could put together an

625
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,480
arcade team.
Does bring in Russell Wilson

626
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,480
need your back up?
And then you got Joe Mix and

627
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,240
then Nick Job.
This will be a you're right.

628
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:49,640
It's like it was like a Pro Bowl
team from a few years ago.

629
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,160
No, they they are the team with
the least amount of money

630
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,720
available to spend potentially
they are over the cap.

631
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,880
The Dolphins are not going to be
getting any better.

632
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,960
That's it.
They don't have any more unless

633
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,600
they make some cuts, free up
some money.

634
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,880
But when we see how they're
creating their team where you're

635
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,520
still currently the starting
wide receivers are two, two

636
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,720
Atwell, Jalen Tolbert and Malik
Washington.

637
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,240
I mean, this is a joke.
What?

638
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,080
What are they trying?
I mean, well, I know what

639
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,960
they're trying to do.
They want the number one pick

640
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,520
and that we're really tanking it
and we're tanking it really

641
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,200
hard.
You got Devon a Chan, Jalen

642
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,880
Wright and Ollie Gordon.
OK, and I'll and I'll get to my

643
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,000
thoughts on a Chan.
I actually think I put him as

644
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,120
one of my followers and it's
based on kind of based on what

645
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,120
we're talking about right now.
And one of my risers though for

646
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,120
ADP is Greg Dulcis.
If you're certainly in the Titan

647
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,400
Premium league.
He's a guy, even there, he may

648
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,720
still be available or you can
get him for next to nothing when

649
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:01,840
that is the competition you have
for targets.

650
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,080
Daltrex has put together a
handful of good games last year,

651
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,480
Yeah.
You know, a third round draft

652
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:13,400
capital a couple of years ago, a
few years ago in Denver might

653
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,640
just be what he needs.
Not a lot of competition and not

654
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,560
a lot of expectations.
And they're not.

655
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,680
And there's nobody trying to
force him out.

656
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,840
He has a rookie Will Kak Merrick
behind him.

657
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,040
And we know tight end takes a
while to learn, takes a while to

658
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,360
develop.
Greg Dalzer yeah, no, it to me

659
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,600
it feels like that's you know,
who would you rather have a

660
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,800
Dalton Schultzer.
You know, one of these other

661
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,560
tight ends you're hoping is
going to develop into something

662
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,600
versus on your bye week putting
in Greg.

663
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:49,000
I I would take Greg.
So ultimately, where would the

664
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,120
best spot be for these players
to go?

665
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,280
Well, I'll go down the rest of
the, the teams here, we only

666
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,480
covered the first, first one,
the 49ers, the Titans.

667
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,440
I don't know, I, I like how the
Titans are set up right now.

668
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,920
I, I don't feel like they need
to.

669
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,560
I mean, why would you add any of
these players to the Titans?

670
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,040
Yeah, I mean, the, the Titans
could be a team that, you know,

671
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,520
maybe they just want to continue
to surround Cam Ward with just

672
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,400
more, more weapons to throw to,
but it's not going to be anyone

673
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,880
that's going to make a a huge
fantasy impact.

674
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,280
I I just don't see it.
You're right though, the way the

675
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,880
Titans are building their
roster, it doesn't make a ton of

676
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,520
sense to do it.
I could only see them wanting to

677
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,360
do it just to continue to give
Cam Ward everything he needs to

678
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,080
to succeed.
Yeah, I mean, not relying on

679
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:43,120
Gunnar Helm, maybe a Johnny
Smith or Darren Waller there,

680
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,880
gives him another year to
develop, gives him Ward, another

681
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:50,240
reliable target.
The third team with the most

682
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,840
money left.
The Chargers, we know, we've

683
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,760
already talked about them.
Maybe they, you know, they got

684
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,880
to replace Keenan Allen with
somebody unless they're willing

685
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,400
to, you know, give the reins to
Trey Harris.

686
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,880
Yeah, there's a chance they
might replace Keenan Allen with

687
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,400
Keenan Allen.
So let's not let's not rule that

688
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,920
out yet.
It's it's here's another

689
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,920
interesting case here.
Haven't heard a whole lot about

690
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,320
where he's headed.
But when I do hear anything,

691
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,680
it's it's the charges code
resign Keenan Allen every time.

692
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:24,360
That's all the posts I see.
So all the lad Mcconkey dynasty

693
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,720
owners out there, which is silly
to me that think that Keenan

694
00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:30,680
Allen could affect lads value
that much.

695
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,920
But unfortunately, last year it
did.

696
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,760
Hopefully Keenan Allen, if he
does go to the Chargers, they

697
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,120
realize that Mcconkey is their
future and they give him the

698
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,640
ball, you know?
Yeah, otherwise you're going to

699
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:46,520
be wasting these rookie years,
and then he'll just leave for a

700
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,200
better opportunity elsewhere #4
we already covered them, the

701
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,240
commanders, they certainly could
use help at running back because

702
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:55,800
there's no one that's
established.

703
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,080
But they've already spent their
money there, so I don't really

704
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,000
see another running back coming
in.

705
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,920
They already spent their money
and got Chico Conquo.

706
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:09,160
So it really becomes wide
receiver and leave it up to, you

707
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:15,480
know, if you think that adding
Devo Samuel back to the to the

708
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,600
mix or Keenan Allen or I do
think digs would be a nice

709
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,320
addition.
I think if they want to, if they

710
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,280
want to be competitive.
Digs was not washed up last

711
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,000
year.
He would be a good addition.

712
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,400
Yeah, I agree.
I think the Commanders make a

713
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,240
lot of sense for one of these
veteran receivers.

714
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:36,360
Stefan Diggs, Diva Saniel
returning, I don't see that

715
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,200
happening.
But Diggs, yeah, that's a very,

716
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,160
very interesting spot for him.
He still looked decent last

717
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,760
year.
You know, he doesn't look like,

718
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,840
like DeAndre Hopkins, as amazing
as he was in his prime.

719
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,080
Obviously, Hopkins, you know,
he's not the same player

720
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,600
anymore.
But Diggs, while he's not the

721
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,840
Buffalo Bills Stefan Diggs or
the Minnesota Vikings Stefan

722
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,160
Diggs, he's a very solid
football player and he can he

723
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,040
can produce if he lands in a
spot like Washington.

724
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,160
Absolutely.
That's one of the, the, what do

725
00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:08,800
they say?
The the secret word of the day

726
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,480
is absolutely.
We were talking about that last

727
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,360
week.
If you're playing a drinking

728
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,080
game with this show.
And every time we said

729
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,400
absolutely you'd, you wouldn't
have made it past like the first

730
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,880
six rounds of our, of our mock
draft.

731
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,920
But number team #5 it's New York
Jets.

732
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,880
I don't know.
I mean, I know they were one of

733
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,120
those teams where I'm like, I
feel like they've kind of done

734
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,400
enough.
And you're setting it up so you

735
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,240
can get a decent draft pick to
get a quarterback next year.

736
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,240
Why do you want to screw that up
or script the development of

737
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:45,040
your other players by bringing
in, you know, you're certainly

738
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,400
not going to bring in a tight
end.

739
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,600
They already got Mason Taylor,
we got Kenyan Sadiq.

740
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,960
You know, I mean, maybe one of
those running backs somehow ends

741
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,120
up third string behind Braylon
Allen.

742
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,240
I mean it to me, those aren't
things I'm going to worry about.

743
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:08,120
You know, maybe Geno Smith gets
hurt so Russell Wilson comes in

744
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,640
and saves the day.
I don't know.

745
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,000
It's it's hard to imagine that
it would be worth The Jets

746
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,320
pursuing anybody outside of a
in, you know, regular season

747
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,560
injury.
Yeah, for sure.

748
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,920
And The Jets, the way they're
building, we know the way

749
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,440
they're building their team,
they they got some good weapons

750
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,840
they're bringing in now.
And obviously next year's

751
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,720
quarterback draft is extremely
strong, so we know where they're

752
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:35,240
headed.
But then again, man, this this

753
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:39,560
is the New York Jets.
And you cannot, you cannot count

754
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,040
anything out.
You just can't.

755
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,040
But in, in reality, yeah, it
doesn't really make a ton of

756
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,440
sense for them to hinder Omar
Cooper's development, Sadiq's

757
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:50,640
development.
It doesn't really make much

758
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,080
sense.
I mean, they got Garrett Wilson

759
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,840
there, you know, what are you
going to bring a receiver in

760
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,080
there to do to to block?
I I don't know what you're going

761
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,720
to do.
You know, if they got, they got

762
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:02,880
what they need there.
So I don't see any reason why

763
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,840
they want to do that.
No.

764
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:10,960
Excuse me, number six.
We have the Patriots, another

765
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,600
team where I'm like, you know,
running back, no.

766
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,960
Quarterback, no.
Wide receiver?

767
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,600
Sure, they could use a little
bit of help, but it's the same

768
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,160
stuff everybody's reading.
While the Patriots may resign

769
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:26,680
stuff on digs, and you're right,
Tyree kill, we have to see him

770
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,480
kind of back in action.
And even then, I have tempered

771
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,720
expectations that if he comes
back in the middle of the year,

772
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:40,160
no matter who he plays for, just
to pretend at his age a

773
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,040
significant injury isn't going
to hurt him.

774
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,080
When he's all about speed, that
seems unlikely.

775
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,560
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.

776
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,920
And and like we said, a lot of
the guys we're discussing now

777
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,080
can help an NFL team.
I don't mean, I don't think

778
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,200
there's any question like some
of these guys can really help an

779
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,760
NFL team, you know, in in what
they're trying to accomplish.

780
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,080
But we're talking about dynasty
fantasy football.

781
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,400
It it's really hard to find guys
here in this remaining free

782
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,800
agency that you're going to be
excited about and doesn't mean

783
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,520
you can't have them on your
roster, you know, put them on

784
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,360
your roster.
So, you know, it doesn't, you

785
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,640
know, especially if we're in a
deep league, no reason to to not

786
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,240
have a guy like this, like these
guys in the roster hill or digs

787
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:27,360
or, you know, Keenan Allen,
having them at the very end of

788
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,800
your roster and you know, if
they land in a spot where they

789
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,360
can, you know, potentially put
up some flex type weeks, No,

790
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,840
there's nothing wrong with that.
They're not going to cost much

791
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,680
to get, but I'm not going to be
actively trying to trade for

792
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,200
them.
They could just be fillers in a

793
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,880
trade and maybe just get lucky
with one of these guys as

794
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,360
potential flex player.
That's right.

795
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,800
You can help.
Somebody dropped him.

796
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaking of a shocking player
that was dropped.

797
00:44:53,720 --> 00:44:56,040
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I I don't think you know about

798
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,680
this.
You don't know about this one.

799
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,680
I, I, I'm in a league and it did
a a rookie draft.

800
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,120
This is just year two of the
league and a rookie draft.

801
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,240
And you know, people are they,
they were filling some orphan

802
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:13,040
teams and someone came in and
cut Travis Hunter.

803
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,400
Oh man.
Yeah, like a part of me

804
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,640
understands it.
Like, OK, if you're reading

805
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,240
what's out there, but like,
really you can't just cut him

806
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:29,120
after one year then like, that
seems a little little premature.

807
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,760
No, that's that's not that's bad
because this isn't Dynasty.

808
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,440
And yeah, they're talking about
the whole, you know, he might

809
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,880
play the defense defense full
time, all this stuff.

810
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,000
Let's just see what happens.
They've been saying this for a

811
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,520
long time.
We talked about it with Amari

812
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,800
last last week.
We have to see that be the case

813
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,280
before anyone really worries
about him not being an impact

814
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,920
player and receiver.
Yeah, you can't just come in and

815
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,360
drop Travis Hunter.
He he still has value.

816
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,720
He still does.
And he's he's still a guy who's

817
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:00,160
going to have a chance to play
receiver.

818
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:04,440
Even if he's on the field 70% of
time, that's still opportunity

819
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,000
and it's not someone you're
dropping.

820
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,440
He's second year in the league.
That's that's, that's kind of

821
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,040
funny to me.
There's there's always room for

822
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,320
somebody on your team.
I mean, I'm looking at the the

823
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,040
league you run.
I got 22 Atwell on my team.

824
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,760
If there's room for 2/2 Atwell,
there's room for Travis.

825
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,920
Exactly.
I I, I was scouring the waiver

826
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,760
wire in my league and I'm seeing
some names that I'm like, wait,

827
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,120
what?
Who are these guys?

828
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,760
But I'm like, all right, well,
they still might have a chance

829
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,480
to do something.
So obviously there's players

830
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,520
that that you know you should
have on your team and there's

831
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,920
players that you shouldn't.
And Travis Hunter is not a guy

832
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,080
that you drop.
Because if you go to your waiver

833
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,880
wire in a deep league, who in
the world do you want over

834
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,320
Travis Hunter?
I don't even know who would be

835
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,880
out there, man.
I don't know when I.

836
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,720
Scoured the waiver wire.
I, I didn't know what was going

837
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:55,120
on, man.
It was, it was rough.

838
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,320
Maybe that orphan team was just
a totally loaded superstar

839
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,680
juggernaut type of team.
There just wasn't room for

840
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:07,320
Travis Hunter.
But just for reference, though,

841
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,240
you you may wonder, well, where
did he go?

842
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,600
Where did he go in the rookie
draft?

843
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,000
And I want to say he went early
second round.

844
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:18,720
So once again, it's not like his
value is sky high.

845
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,960
People were willing to take, you
know, some some of the players

846
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,200
in this class, you know, over
them.

847
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:30,120
Certainly he he wasn't even a
first round pick, But that's

848
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,680
just a little bit of food for
thought.

849
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,240
I thought you might find that
interesting.

850
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:39,520
So #7 On the list of teams with
the most money left to spend, we

851
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,040
have the Seahawks.
Yeah.

852
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:44,960
I don't know.
I mean, maybe a tight, once

853
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:51,840
again, maybe a tight end, AJ
Barner, Elijah Arroyo, you know,

854
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,520
maybe a guy like Darren Waller
comes in, Jonnu Smith, I don't

855
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,880
know.
But the Seahawks, I just don't

856
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,640
see it making sense for them to
screw with a good thing.

857
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,320
Yeah, yeah, I'm with you there.
I don't, I don't see a whole lot

858
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,720
of reason for them either to to
do this.

859
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,600
You know, I was thinking running
back, but then they, you know,

860
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,240
they got, they already have
their running backs covered

861
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:17,920
there.
You know, Jack, Zach Charbonnay,

862
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,120
when he returns, their running
back room is going to be

863
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,840
completely full.
So I don't really mean maybe

864
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,160
they want to get a guy in just
to have as a third string for

865
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:30,240
now while they're waiting for a
Charbonnay, but is Austin Eckler

866
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:32,880
or someone like that really
going to sign with a team just

867
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,080
to be a third string and then go
to the practice squad?

868
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:37,440
No, that's not going to be the
case.

869
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,560
Correct.
Yeah, Antonio Gibson, I guess

870
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,400
any of these teams that I look
at and I say, oh, they can maybe

871
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,720
use another running back.
I think Antonio Gibson would be

872
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:50,520
a good fit.
He's not totally over the hell

873
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,320
he can catch passes, but as long
as you just give him like maybe

874
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,400
that third down roll, change of
pace, that might not be a bad

875
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,520
selection.
But nobody I'm going to really

876
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:04,960
care about to go out of my way
to get a #8 This is an

877
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:09,080
interesting team that could use
help at wide receiver.

878
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,440
And that's the highlight of the
free agent class at the moment.

879
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:18,080
The Indianapolis Colts, where
they're starting wide receivers

880
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,400
are Josh Downs, Alec Pierce and
Nick Westbrook.

881
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:27,280
Akini So but maybe that's a bit
deceptive, right?

882
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,800
OK, you got downs got Alec
Pierce, but you also have Tyler

883
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:36,080
Warren and you have Jonathan
Taylor and you have a

884
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:40,560
quarterback that can still run.
He's not you know, it's going to

885
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:45,360
be a run focused offense.
So do you, do you really need,

886
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,240
you know, the another guy, maybe
he comes in and somehow is the

887
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:54,000
second leading wide receiver on
the team and targets like what's

888
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:58,120
that really going to be in?
In a best case scenario?

889
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,040
I just don't see it happening
with any of these players.

890
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,480
But I do agree with you that
it's either Stefan Diggs or

891
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,640
maybe potentially Tyree kill.
If I had to pick two of them,

892
00:50:08,240 --> 00:50:11,400
those would be the ones I would
want the most that I feel like,

893
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,640
OK, there's a chance something
happens.

894
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,840
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
I think those are the two

895
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,720
players that you know, if
everything falls into place for

896
00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:22,160
them, you know, obviously Tyre
kills healthy, they fall in a

897
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,000
good situation.
Those are the guys who I think

898
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,200
could be flex options for for
your for your roster this coming

899
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,800
season.
So those are the types of guys

900
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,240
you want to get later in dynasty
startups.

901
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:37,440
You want to get in as add in
players for trades just to just

902
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,800
to see what happens where they
where they fall in in this where

903
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,000
the Atlanta spot is really
that's really what it comes down

904
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,360
to with them because we talked
about things already.

905
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,280
He already has shown he could
still play Hill.

906
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,640
It's all about the injury.
If he returns and he's healthy,

907
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,160
we're not expecting Tyree kill
to to put up massive numbers

908
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,160
like he has in his career.
But I think yeah, you're right.

909
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:03,720
The of all these guys that are
available, those two players are

910
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:06,720
the ones who I think could
possibly be a flex option on on

911
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:09,200
your roster.
And the Colts I think are

912
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,200
interesting.
I think they kind of told

913
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,760
everyone what they think about
as far as the receiver room by

914
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:18,320
trading, trading Pittman.
I think allowing him to go to

915
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,520
Pittsburgh tells you all you
need to know about if they think

916
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,320
they need another receiver.
Because I think Tyler Warren,

917
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,720
like you mentioned, he's the guy
who is going to get that uptick

918
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:31,760
in targets.
He him and downs, I think.

919
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,560
But yeah, I think Ty Warren has
a chance to be have a massive

920
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,920
season.
And so I don't really think the

921
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,280
Colts are that interested in
adding any of these guys either.

922
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,600
They told us what they think
about it by by allowing Pittman

923
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,240
to go.
I agree.

924
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,360
I agree.
Well, the next two I'm just

925
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,440
going to lump together.
So we have a little bit of time

926
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:54,240
for our dynasty.
ADP risers and fallers

927
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,960
information here.
The final two teams I got are

928
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,960
number and #9 I got the Arizona
Cardinals and #10 I got the

929
00:51:59,960 --> 00:52:03,240
Rams.
I, I just don't see, you know,

930
00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:05,240
certainly not running back.
Maybe, you know, maybe

931
00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:07,800
quarterback Russell Wilson can
go to Arizona.

932
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:12,040
I don't know, you know, I
already got Trey McBride there.

933
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,320
You got a lot of good wide
receivers, got good running back

934
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,680
depth with the Rams.
I just don't see it making any

935
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,400
sort of sense that I would want
to bank on.

936
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,000
As we said, if you got the
space, it doesn't hurt to keep

937
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,400
in mind your team.
Absolutely, yeah.

938
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:29,520
That's what it all comes to.
Yeah.

939
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:30,920
That's what it really all comes
down to.

940
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,360
So when you're in the thick of
it here, we're we're in May

941
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:36,800
right now, getting close to
June.

942
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,960
These are the months where
sometimes you just have to make

943
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,000
the decision to hold on the
players and just see what

944
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,040
happens.
You know, this is it doesn't

945
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,960
hurt to hold a player on your
roster if you have the room, you

946
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,200
know, especially if they're a
player who is going to be a

947
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:55,480
starter on an NFL team.
If you're in a very deep league,

948
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,360
if you have a starter on NFL
team, they have some kind of

949
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,040
value for you.
So I think definitely don't just

950
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,680
drop players.
You have to wait to see where

951
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,280
where they go 1st.
And if they don't get picked up

952
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,560
by anyone, then obviously you
know what you have to do.

953
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,880
But if if they land in a decent
spot, holding them is going to,

954
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,720
you know, end up helping out.
You know, it's going to help you

955
00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:16,320
out this season.
But we're not talking about,

956
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,360
again, we also are not talking
about players who are going to,

957
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,800
you know, whole tons of value
and trades or anything.

958
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,440
These are just guys that can put
get you through some bye weeks

959
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,160
and maybe, you know, become a
flex off.

960
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,160
Yeah, yeah, no.
And then I also, there's one

961
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,480
other player, Tim, where I was
starting to think about him in

962
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,480
the offseason, Najee Harris.
And I was like, and then I

963
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,640
started to think about the
conversation we had last week

964
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,880
about Achilles injuries and how
long does it take to come back.

965
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,000
And there was one player I had
in my head when you were talking

966
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,120
about it.
It was Dante Foreman and I

967
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,760
looked at, OK, well you know
who's been successful in coming

968
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,040
back.
It basically took JK Dobbins two

969
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,600
years.
Dante Foreman went from tearing

970
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:05,360
his Achilles in 2017 and it took
him four years till he had that

971
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:09,920
almost 1000 yard season with the
Panthers after CMC got traded.

972
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:15,480
So somewhere in the two to four
year range before before you're

973
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:21,560
back to producing.
And so Najee Harris stores

974
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,720
Achilles September 2025.
If you want to say he's going to

975
00:54:24,720 --> 00:54:28,520
be the outlier that you know
he's somehow is going to be able

976
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,040
to do this at his point in his
career.

977
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,400
I mean, we kind of like picking
up Jonathan Brooks last year.

978
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,640
May maybe something better is
happening for him in a year from

979
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,240
now.
But I would not expect anything

980
00:54:39,240 --> 00:54:43,120
from Najee Harris this year.
All right, with our handful of

981
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:46,160
minutes we have here to close
out the show, you had mentioned

982
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:52,480
you wanted to cover some risers
and fallers in our Dynasty ADP

983
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:56,080
that people can see on Lab 52
dynastyfootball.com.

984
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,120
Yeah, Yeah.
I think for the time we have

985
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,640
left here, let's, I'm just going
to list the three risers I have

986
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,960
and I just want to like to stay
here your, you know, your

987
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,480
evaluation on these guys.
I'll give you a quick, you know,

988
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,680
insight on as well.
But so my 3 risers right now,

989
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:17,200
Josh Downs, Cam Ward and
Jonathan Brooks, those are the

990
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,160
three guys that I've I see so
far as far as guys that have

991
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:24,360
risen up the rankings this
offseason, Josh Downs.

992
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,360
I think Josh Downs is very
interesting.

993
00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:28,720
We, we know Michael Pittman's no
longer there.

994
00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:32,720
We know there's a chance for him
to really have a higher value

995
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:36,400
role as far as targets go.
We saw him have a really strong

996
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:37,800
rookie year.
He had a really, really good

997
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,680
rookie year.
Will it will it be more of a

998
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,600
Warren Josh down that talked
about Warren earlier?

999
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,080
I think he's going to get a
really good uptick in targets.

1000
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:51,880
Will that limit him or is there
room for both to get that uptick

1001
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,000
in targets?
We'll see.

1002
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,600
But I am definitely excited to
see what happens.

1003
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,960
He's a good player.
He's a good separator on the

1004
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,000
field.
He's got a good floor.

1005
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,720
You know, we talked about floor
a lot on this on this podcast

1006
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,920
and I think he could have a
solid floor and and fantasy.

1007
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,000
He's only 24 years old and
that's, you know, he's been in

1008
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,360
the league for a few years now.
He's only 24.

1009
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:12,960
So he's got good age insulation
there.

1010
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,320
What do you think about Josh
Downs?

1011
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,480
Oh, Josh Downs.
Yeah, no, I was all high on Josh

1012
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,280
Downs last year and it just
didn't play out because he was

1013
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,800
the analytics darling.
And then still this offseason,

1014
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,480
he still is the analytics
darling.

1015
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,240
And you're right, I I think
letting Pitman go, that says all

1016
00:56:31,240 --> 00:56:34,360
their he he's finally getting a
chance.

1017
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,400
That OK, all of a sudden you
give Josh Downs more than 90

1018
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,160
some targets, what's going to
happen?

1019
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:45,720
You know, you give him 120 a 130
targets, you know, scheme him

1020
00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:48,680
open, make some plays for him.
No, that one makes a lot of

1021
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,800
sense to me.
Jonathan Brooks.

1022
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,480
That one also makes sense to we,
we've talked about Jonathan

1023
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,360
Brooks before that when you only
have Chuba Hubbard ahead of you.

1024
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:01,760
He got Rico, Rico Dowdell.
He's he's young, He's basically

1025
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,720
the same age has a lot of
rookies that are coming out

1026
00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:08,640
right now.
You know, it's a part of your

1027
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,440
life where you can recover maybe
for some of these injuries.

1028
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,400
And supposedly he's he's
healthy.

1029
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:17,560
Now if he gets injured again,
I'm out.

1030
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,720
I, I, I can't, I can't do it
anymore.

1031
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:25,120
But if there is one running
backroom where you would say,

1032
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,240
you know, this is there's a
chance, there certainly is a

1033
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,880
chance.
And he'll he he may get a chance

1034
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,600
a couple games this year to be
the starting running back on a

1035
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,800
Sunday.
I would certainly say Jonathan

1036
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:38,880
Brooks would be a good option
for that.

1037
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,640
I would be curious to hear from
you outside of the is it really

1038
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,240
just the addition of Carnell
Tate?

1039
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,960
Is that why we're raising Cam
Ward up the ranks?

1040
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,280
No, I think it's more than that.
I think even before the addition

1041
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,840
of Carnell Tate, I, I, I've
talked about it before how I, I

1042
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,680
think bringing in Dabel is a
huge deal.

1043
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,640
It really is.
I'm not saying it's going to be

1044
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,760
the same thing with Josh Allen.
I'm not saying it, but he was

1045
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,560
able to turn Josh Allen into,
obviously it wasn't just him

1046
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,840
that did it, but he was a big
part of Josh Allen becoming the

1047
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,880
player he is today.
So now you have Wanda Robinson,

1048
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:16,240
you have Carnell Tate, but you
have the coach coming in here in

1049
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,720
Tennessee, seeing what he's been
able to do in the past with

1050
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:21,160
other with his other
quarterbacks.

1051
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,160
Definitely excited about this
opportunity for for Cam Ward and

1052
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,520
the fact that he did start
playing well, you know, later on

1053
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,880
in the season #1 overall pick.
I think a lot of people wrote

1054
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,680
them all for some reason, like
he was in a situation that not

1055
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,400
many players are going to
succeed at.

1056
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,520
You know, it just was a terrible
spot.

1057
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:43,800
So I think with the improvements
on offense, with improvement at

1058
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:47,960
coach for him, you know,
obviously I I think he he's got

1059
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,520
a lot of talent.
So I think Cam Ward is a guy who

1060
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,320
you would I'm not going to be
surprised to see him, you know,

1061
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:59,000
flirt with QB one status.
Well, I say he's a QB one right

1062
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,040
now.
Of course, I'm not going to say

1063
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:04,920
that right now, but he is a guy
who I believe in dynasty.

1064
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,080
He's a good buy low.
He's a good buy low right now,

1065
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:08,520
but I think that's going to
change.

1066
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,560
If he has a really good season,
you're not going to be able to

1067
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,360
buy low on him because obviously
the age and obviously the, the

1068
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,120
potential with Carnell Tate and
everything else we're going to

1069
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:18,960
see and they're going to
continue to build that team.

1070
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,120
I, I'm excited about Cam Moore.
I I would have loved to be able

1071
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,680
to get him in the the draft we
were in a few months back

1072
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,560
because I think he is a
quarterback that can really,

1073
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,600
really hold value for a long
time if he if he starts to, to

1074
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,400
show what he can do.
Yeah, well, they're certainly

1075
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,000
surrounding him with weapons
here.

1076
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,360
Well, I think to close out the
show, because I'm a, I'm a

1077
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:46,200
simple man and sometimes fantasy
is dynasty fantasy.

1078
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,800
It's it can be easy.
Sometimes you can just read the

1079
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,840
tea leaves and you don't need to
be a genius to know what's going

1080
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,680
to happen next.
But you do have to think a step

1081
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:58,280
ahead.
So I'll close it out here with

1082
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:02,400
just a handful of risers.
I have just three and then a

1083
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,360
couple followers, but I think
they're all self-explanatory

1084
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,920
risers.
The the fact that OK, Jalen

1085
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:14,880
Naylor, it doesn't really matter
when I look at the the free

1086
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,960
agents that are left there when
they spent all that money and

1087
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,760
brought him in and there's no
one else other than Brock Bowers

1088
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:25,200
to catch targets.
Jalen Naylor is a, is a value

1089
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:31,000
that you can maybe he may still
be on people's waiver wire #2

1090
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:36,240
Xavier Worthy.
You know, Rice, I have him in

1091
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,040
the the opposing category.
I have him as a follower.

1092
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,960
He, you know, they say he was
being a knucklehead, got in

1093
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,600
trouble again.
And we expected that, but now

1094
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:52,240
it's now it's happening again
and people react and right or

1095
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,240
wrong, whether you should or you
shouldn't react or that's baked

1096
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,800
into their prices, worthy is
going to get another shot.

1097
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,480
So I wrote the next, I wrote the
line there, that Dumb and Dumber

1098
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,240
line.
There's a chance he gets a

1099
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,760
chance again, at least for a few
weeks.

1100
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,680
Just like last year, he got a
chance and got hurt and never

1101
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,000
really recovered from that maybe
3 year breakout, who knows.

1102
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,920
And then the other one I
mentioned Greg Daltich, he's

1103
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:19,080
cheap.
That's I wrote down cheap and

1104
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:23,040
cheap and he's got opportunity.
And Rice is a faller and the

1105
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:26,880
only other faller I have.
Granted, in my own rankings.

1106
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,440
I only dropped him one spot, but
I actually dropped him a tier,

1107
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,920
which is a lot more significant
than just falling one spot.

1108
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:40,200
I moved Devon a chain from Tier
2 to the top of tier 3, from the

1109
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,920
number six running back to the
number 7, and here's why.

1110
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,960
He's on an awful team and he is
going to be.

1111
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,520
What is he now?
He's 24 right now.

1112
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:57,040
He turns 25 in October, so just
imagine that, OK, you got your

1113
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:58,920
25 year old running back this
year.

1114
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,760
It's going to be in an awful
situation all year long.

1115
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:07,480
This is assuming that the five,
nine, 191 LB running back who's

1116
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,160
going to be the majority of your
team's offense is going to be

1117
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,840
able to take on an even heavier
load than he already has.

1118
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:16,640
So we're going to assume he
doesn't get injured, he just

1119
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,240
goes out.
This team is not built to

1120
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:23,920
succeed and he comes back and
he's going to be turning 26 next

1121
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:25,280
year.
So now you're going to have a

1122
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:29,720
running back that turns 26
coming off of an awful year on a

1123
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:34,480
bad team.
All you did if you had Devon HN

1124
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,360
right now, you're just going to
be losing value.

1125
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:40,360
I I don't see this as being like
he's he's going to be the secret

1126
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,640
to having an explosive year at
best.

1127
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:47,800
Maybe somehow he replicates what
he's been doing the last couple

1128
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:51,320
of years.
I don't know, but if I had Devon

1129
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,960
a Chan, I would tend to think I
might just move off of him.

1130
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:59,000
I don't see positive things
coming this year and granted,

1131
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:03,600
yes, it's dynasty, but that's
how the community reacts and if

1132
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:07,840
you have a bad year and people
don't like what happened, then

1133
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,000
you're going to be stuck with
him all next year.

1134
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,880
Depressed value and those aren't
the players you want to have.

1135
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,760
So that's all I got to say about
that.

1136
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,560
Yeah, HN yeah, for sure.
I think, you know, no

1137
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:23,800
questioning his talent.
Nobody's questioning that.

1138
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,400
I have them in number six.
I still have them in Tier 2.

1139
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,800
I I just can't get there yet to
drop them into Tier 3.

1140
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,720
But I could see your, your
reasoning for it, especially

1141
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,640
with the Dolphins like this.
Is this rebuild or whatever

1142
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,560
they're trying to do?
This could be multi year.

1143
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:41,920
Who knows how long this is going
to be.

1144
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,920
And is he going to be stuck in
that situation for two to three

1145
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:45,720
years?
Who knows?

1146
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,600
So obviously he's been able to
produce in less than ideal

1147
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,120
situations before.
So we were hoping for that

1148
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,480
again.
But yeah, I can see the concern

1149
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,280
for sure.
I, I can't quite get him into

1150
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,480
Tier 3 yet.
So we're we're talking about the

1151
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,080
difference between one spot
here.

1152
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:05,840
But like you said, it is
significant.

1153
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:10,760
The tier is significant because
Tier 2 Jetty love Hampton, a

1154
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,160
chain.
That's what I have, I'm sure.

1155
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,320
And HN is not in your Tier 2
anymore, so it would be those

1156
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,520
other three players.
So that's a that's a huge

1157
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:23,160
difference tier wise.
But yeah, that's that's

1158
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,480
definitely one I think we're
going to continue to hear more

1159
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,440
about as the offseason
continues.

1160
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,880
Let's see what he can do.
I hope, hopefully, hopefully he

1161
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,080
can somehow overcome this
terrible situation.

1162
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:37,520
They they really, really they're
they're they're in a rough spot.

1163
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:41,320
This team, they're really yes,
they are.

1164
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:42,560
Yes they are.
Well, it's.

1165
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:46,440
Been another good show.
