Good morning from sweltering Grand Island, NY.
I'm Mike Shope and it is not a dry heat.
Pre season week 1 takeaways. What matters, what doesn't.
Who is slurping, slurping, Who is slurping?
Who's de Burrino? We will find out.
Our heroes are assembled just a second almost done.
Davis Maddock, Jacob Sanderson and fresh off his weekend to Del
Mar ponies. Pat Grain, thanks for joining
us. ADP Chasing is back August 12th,
2025. ADP chasing is for when you
watch ship chasing you go these guys are just football guys.
I have my 4% exposure blanket state 4 actually.
Back in, if it's Ashenet, it's. Here to our crystal ball.
Close your eyes, you know all your entries are going to lose.
Anyway, yeah. That's fair.
You're not going to tell me all this way I was here.
It's anti cabal, it's anti the best ball thought leader.
I'm obviously lying to some degree because like, I have a
lot of both of these guys. It's the most disgusting thing
you can make, but man, all you, Mike.
Call me, there we go. Oh, it scared me for a second.
It scared me. I had to look at my little order
and see if I was on. None of us would Slurp is
Diporino. He just.
I don't know. Diporino remains firmly
unslurped. For now, for now, Pat and I
spoke yesterday on WGR. Broke that cherry.
Thank you for that Pat. What kind of a horse better are
you? Are you just looking for the the
rookies? The.
So I was in. The folder.
What's that even called? I was there with Christian from
he, he came out to the ship chasing they to the FFPC.
We met him out there with the ship chasing crew when, when we
were there a couple years ago, maybe three years ago now.
And that's what he does. He he bets, he bets race horses.
So we were there kind of talking through what he's looking for
and stuff and it was a lot of fun.
I didn't place a single bet. Come on bro at 1:00.
Point I was down at one point. He was like, yeah, so I think
the three and we were kind of talking.
I was like, yeah, the three looks good to me too.
Like, yeah, I don't know anything, but he looks, he looks
like a good horse. And it's like, yeah, I think the
three's probably a pretty good bet here.
I was like, so when does this one start?
And he goes in about 10 seconds. I like race track.
The race track is like my happiest place on earth.
I used to go with like my parents and grandparents way
back in the day. I remembered the when I was like
9 and I learned what a quinella was and my, my dad would let me
like slip them $2.00 on each race.
And it was like first time there first race I do, I hit this,
this Clinella and all of a sudden my $2.00 becomes $20.
And then the next time I'm like, well, now I'm going to slip you
the $20.00. So he places that on a 5 to 1
bat and now I hit again, it becomes $100.
I'm like gambling rules. And then I go to my.
Dad like on my knife. And I'm like, I'm like 12:50 on
this horse. Like here's the 100.
And then then mommas steps in and she's like, absolutely not.
We're not. Absolutely not.
And sure enough, the 12:50 horse did win.
I would have won $1000 of race track as a nine year old.
And that's that. That lesson is why I now gamble
basically full time and scream about.
It yeah, that's the start of a movie, right?
I mean, that's the kid who gets who wins and wins and wins.
And the parents are like, we can quit our jobs now.
We've got our, we've got our ticket.
It's like Goodfellas, but the freeze frame is like all my life
I wanted to be a professional. Best ball streamer?
And you got it. I've got a, I've got a pretty
good one, My first time ever going to a track where you could
actually bet at the track in Oklahoma.
I did the screen wrong and did a trifecta box on a different
track, you know, 'cause they have off the track betting.
So I thought that I lost my ticket 'cause I'm watching the
horses and I'm like, well, this is a loser.
I go to the box. I won the trifecta box in like
Charlotte, NC or whatever and, and and paid for paid for
everyone else. That's the rest of the night
because I won like 800 bucks not knowing, not knowing that I won.
Super long shot trifecta like who's this guy?
Another race track? What did he?
Know and you were banned. You were banned for betting at
that track. Immediately we we gave it.
We gave it all back. There were eight more races
left. We gave every dollar back trying
to hit a trifecta box on the. Rest of that was that was what
happened to me. We had our work party at the
racetrack like 2 weekends ago and I hit the first race of the
night and I was like lads go and then yeah like I think I ended
up like coming out even. That's OK.
All back to the track the rest of the night.
That's OK. At least you had a night.
I'll try to balance this out and go, you know, Slappy here.
Davis, I was in Wichita 2530 years ago with a indoor soccer
team. I was broadcasting the Buffalo
Blizzard and they had a dog track and it was the dead of
winter and it's nobody's there. I don't know if people are
betting from Charlotte, like if that goes both ways, but I think
it was a very sad scene off. The track betting, yeah.
Very sad scene. Last race put it down on this 99
to one but I don't realize that there's no money really being
bet here. So 99 to 1 is not going to pay.
99 to 1 the dog wins. Because it's para mutual, so
it's it, there's no liquidity, yeah.
Oh buddy, I'm running up and down the out we wanted to.
I've watched the last race outside so I'm running up and
down that concrete Concours next to the track.
You know my friend Doug and I, Nope, nobody is there and I just
imagining the riches I've just accrued.
By how much did you put down on this?
Dog. I mean, 5 to $10, not a lot,
just whatever, whatever. Seemed like a little bit good,
20 bucks, whatever, maybe 20 bucks.
And I just remember that it paid almost nothing.
If it was 20 bucks, it paid 21. Yep.
That's how. That's how they get you.
That's how they that's how they get you.
That's how they get me to never come back.
Correct. Yeah, always.
Somebody's just covered this. It's it's not as classy as horse
racing, dog racing. No, it's not.
No, no. On that note, there are a lot of
slides today. We, we're, we're starting with
Jacob's. I mean, not to get political,
but. But to get political.
The SIS. Without talking politics
directly. Right and left wing this.
Conversation is hard to. Not get political out of it
column which like Elizabeth Warren and Rand Paul are.
I I maintain that that Jacob just could not be more incorrect
about Trey McBride. Other than that, this is
basically the perfect document. Did you read the editor's?
Note of course, of course I did. I I read, I read every.
I read every thinking about thinking, well, the the issue
that you were going to find with Trey McBride, and maybe this is
just because you have curated your audience to such a degree,
but there are a group of people out there who do not care what
you say about Trey McBride. They'll say this dude is never
scoring any touchdowns. Yeah, because that's I think.
And because there is that pushback, he remains.
I'm not saying he's super slappy or anything but but he is on the
slapses and you're wrong about that.
Well, he is on the slapstick. Everyone's on the slapsticks
except for Naji Harris and Harold Fan who are so extreme.
So you're saying he's he's the quintessential non slap pick?
Yeah. I'm I, I.
Just. I can't agree with that.
I don't want to push back too hard because calling him
Elizabeth Warren was so funny that it kind of changed my mind.
But the the point about the touchdowns is a really big one.
People are not. The general consensus is not,
oh, you know, touchdowns are hard to score.
You know, they're hard to predict especially.
And you know, he could score a bunch, right?
It's like, no, he doesn't score touchdowns.
He didn't score touchdowns going back to college.
He's not going to score touchdowns.
But I don't think that that's, I don't think that that's like a
slappy thing to say to be like, yeah, actually touchdowns are
variant and they can. No, but it's slappy to take.
No Slappy. But it's it's slappy.
It's what it is, is it's slappy. To say that there's something
inherent to Trey McBride, that there is a glass ceiling on how
many touchdowns he can score, That is a slappy ass statement
and that. I was saying it's slappy.
Right, exactly right because he's never slappy favorite and
that is not the people who are drafting him.
That's why he's non slappy. He's he's.
Correct, you've nailed exactly what I have.
My opinion? Oh no.
You guys have like 3 more minutes on this.
No, no, no, no, no brother. And and also the idea that Chris
Alave, who has never scored twenty half PPR points in his
life is not slappy. I also push I.
I have a fundamental disagreement with you, I guess
on what a slappy player is because to me all of these
players, the like, we don't score touchdowns.
Boring players are like inherently unslappy.
Like to me the slappy is like big dream themes and hopes and
vibes and like that includes scoring touchdowns like the
players who are like actually they project a little bit better
if you regress their touchdown right closer to leak average.
Like that is not a slappy player to me.
No, no, I agree with that. But.
That is the that is a left wing player because the right wing
player wants the players to score touchdowns.
But like that is not a slappy player to me, but.
But McBride hasn't scored. I think the reason that McBride
has some slap to him is that he hasn't scored touchdowns and yet
is being drafted like he will, you know, to to an extent, yeah.
And so and that's why he's a little.
SAP fair in a way that it's not for a lot they that's that's
fair. Yeah, we did a slap sis for
mocking voices cuz Jacob went like full nerd over there, but
he's also got sort of the Husky meathead kind of voice over
here. Left, right?
I don't know, I guess, right? Wrong.
I could just do like a full Kendrick Lamar album of this in
which I'm just doing various different voices and skits.
Speaking to each. Other also.
My only other pushback on this graph is that it's pretty clear
that it the the the right wing slappies are drafting Javante
and the left wing slappies are drafting Miles Sanders.
I, I, I don't, I don't think that Javante and Miles Sanders
can exist in the same. Quadrant.
I don't really think that's quite as clear.
Like I am obviously a left wing slappy and I am drafting Mile
Sanders, but I'm also drafting Braylon Allen and Tank Bigsby.
So like I it's not that. I like right?
Well, no one was. I was drafting Tank Bixby I.
Don't know everyone contains everyone contains multitudes,
which is I think something we've learned, but I would say Mile
Sanders biggest. I got an unprompted DM the other
day from someone that told me Javonte Williams is their most
drafted player, to which I like. That guy's not taking Miles
Sanders, and I think it's pretty clear which side of the slap
spectrum, yeah. I just think like the to me.
Like right, you're what you're saying Davis, you're calling
Miles Sanders a rhino right now. And I and I think that is
exactly what he is. You know, he's he's one of these
moderate Republicans that like you can you can kind of get on
board with a little bit sometimes.
But then, you know, the far right turns on, they're like
Miles Sanders might as well be the Buttigieg.
Other other than that, like Jayden Blue.
Jayden Blue is like clearly the actual left wing slappy.
Yes, correct. And then like Miles Sanders is
like a Lisa Murkowski who it's like, yeah, maybe a Susan
Collins, right. Yeah, sometimes, sometimes,
sometimes they come through for you.
All right, You might be interested in that in certain
circumstances. Sanders is.
Murkowski bro, wrap it. Up the the.
Bottom I'll just say this and then we can move on the.
Bottom quadrant alligator, Alcatraz.
The bottom right quadrant is perfect.
These players in the bottom right quadrant?
Chef's kiss. Absolutely.
Exactly what you would imagine. I'd like to.
Also. It's a little more centrist than
you have. That was my only real note.
I'd also like to congratulate our man Jack Linares for crappy
Pats to stack with man. Crappy, crappy.
Pats. Yeah, anyway, he nailed that.
They're they're not that. Slow a little.
Also it's it's a little bit a double entrendur too, because
every time I take a crappy Pat I think of Pat Kurain.
Yeah. That was intentional, right?
That that was intentional. For more do I?
Need to make crappy Patty shirts?
For more on this enlightening subject, slip in unprompted into
Davis's DMS or Pat's or Jacobs talk Politics.
Next we have a vote update or mine or mine.
Next, a quote update on Naji Harris.
Jim Harbaugh, with not much to add, including that he's not a
doctor or Harris's agent, but he has looked into his eye and that
it's open so our, our. My question is, did the eye look
back? That's what I want.
To know how are our eyes open to drafting Naji Harris at whatever
he costs now? No.
No, I I mean come on man, what? What are with like?
The whole. The whole, OK, Jacob, the whole
thesis, the whole thesis on Naji is that he is going to give you
some nice stable touchdown upside at the beginning of the
season while they kind of, you know, do the veteran deference
thing. And now this dude's not even
going to be active in Week 1. So now I guess, I guess at that
point he just becomes the Marion Hampton handcuff, which I guess
in like the one 70s, which is right where I had.
Him run. Is he the handcuff at this
point? Like when is he going to
actually play football? But he will play, he will play
or else they would have been done with it day one.
I don't. I don't think you can say that
like. He's.
Got hurt. Like why hasn't he been able to
play yet? Is it is it just that the skin
needs to heal it? Like at some point he needs to
get cleared for contact right? And they're not in charge of
that. They don't get to decide if he's
cleared for contact. And they're not going to cut
him. He's only NFI.
They're not going to cut him because he's hurt.
They're going to wait until he comes off the NFI so.
I just mean if he had an injury that they knew was debilitating.
As if. He tore his Achilles.
I don't think they, I don't think they know.
I don't think they know. Maybe they.
Don't I? Think they're waiting to see if
he can get cleared for contact eventually, which he probably
will, but there's some chance he doesn't.
I don't like, I don't, I don't know.
To me, this is like the ultimate, like, you know, a
small win, gigantic miss type of bet.
So I'm just like, yeah, unless he was.
An 18 gigantic miss at like pick 174.
If you're a 0, all you were and and your upside was was Naji
Harris, you know, in in this situation, I think that that's a
downside weighted bet. Can you please put H malls
comment up? How am I supposed to open my
third eye if I can't even get the second one open?
That's a good point. Yeah, I, I guess it's more of
just a thing of like I hadn't drafted Eddie Najiaris all year.
There's teams that have them in the one 20s.
And so it's just like the spirit of like if I had 2% Najiaris and
it's all like 170 plus. It's like, yeah, that's kind of
interesting, but. But like I'm willing to take the
0 risk on Judkins, you know, and down in the one 50s and stuff.
Like, sure, he, he, you know, if he comes back, he could be the
starting running back down the stretch.
You know, that's a different bet to me than Naji.
It's like maybe I have the handcuffs.
I don't think I don't. See the Judkins thing at all.
I just like a player who won't have been with the team other
than a couple weeks of OTAs coming in mid season, not having
any relationship with the team, not knowing the playbook well
enough, not practicing any of the concepts.
Like, I guess I just don't understand how that becomes.
Yeah. And then two weeks later, just
starting running back for the Cleveland Browns.
I just. No, not two weeks later.
I mean, he's what he gets suspended six games, about 6.
How many I? Said probably at best.
Well, at best would be 5, which is what his teammate got last
year for domestic. Well his teammate got 5, but
that was 5 after doing 3 games on the exempt list, so he really
got 8I. Think he was on.
I think he was on the exempt list for five Jericho's.
No, he was on the exempt list for three and then he got
suspended for five. OK, safety.
It was the DE. He was on the exempt list for
three, so by the time that the plea deal came through he had
already been on exempt for three and then he got A5 game
suspension on top of the three he missed from exempt.
So it was a total of 18. He was on top.
OK, all right, all right. So let's give him 6, which maybe
is more optimistic than I was thinking, but you could get six
weeks with the team after that. And you know, now, now he's
playing. I still am like at these at
these prices. I think that that's like kind of
interesting actually, because I'm and I'm tend to tack him on
when I have like I'll have like McCaffrey and a couple other
early running backs or early ish, you know, and then I've got
like Tooting and then like, yeah, Judkins is fine here.
He's just like pure end of season.
But I do think he gives you some upside where Harris, I don't
know, maybe he does it through an injury, but it's it's not
very inspiring. To take it to Hampton, let me
mention that on Monday night we'll be drafting in the main
event together. 7:00 Pete, I heard say he wasn't expecting to
be joining us, but then maybe he sounded open to it.
We'll figure that out. We're at the one O 3.
To avoid us, he he wanted nothing to do with it.
But. Once I said last week, Jacob,
then he'd be joining us. I think that's when he was out
because he liked it the other way around.
Maybe we're at the one O 3 at 210.
How viable is Hampton? We're at the one O 3.
I don't know we already. Need viable God we it's just it
like guys, can we just not take Bowers this time?
Like I it's looking like I I did another main event and I got
outvoted. I I've done 7 main events right
now I've taken Bowers in the first in all of them.
Wow, I just enough enough. I'm happy to.
I I am a I am a I'm a Brock Bauer stubbed toenail away from
going over in the main event this.
Year I I will. I'm trying to find a way to be a
good friend to you, but not to end my reputation of saying I
will never not draft Brock Bowers when he's available in
the main event in 2025. And I'm going to try to figure
out a way to square that circle. My hope is I just get out voted
so if you and Mike and Pete want to.
Follow up maybe, maybe Chase. Maybe Chase will fall to.
Us Wait, what? What draft?
What main event is this the? One we're doing on Monday.
Apparently 80%, yeah. I could.
I could probably be. I could probably be swung with
like a Jameer Gibbs Dick. If we have π.
I would like a Gibbs share so. I really want a Gibbs share.
I, I, I, I'll vote for Gibbs in solidarity with if.
Chase and Gibbs go 1/2. I don't know how I'm going to
get around on it if you don't like.
There, we're taking Bowers, buddy.
Thank. Thank God I have the I have the,
I have the one O 1 with Silva and Reeves and Thorman and JJ
and we will, we'll be taking chase.
So at least I know. At least I know I'll have one.
I have one on Sunday at the 110 and I'll take Bowers if I can at
the 1:10. Oh, you're not going to get
Bowers? At that won't happen.
No, I know the. Question.
He only had the 110. The draft that I did with Ron
and Liam Bowers fell to 19. We were at the 1:12, so that
didn't matter to us, but he did fall to the 19. 1 little stubbed
toenail this week. Davis.
Then maybe I do get him at one time.
Maybe you get him. All I need.
Is a little. Tweet I mean the the genti the
genti fall is already happening. We could get a we could get a
totally random Bowers fall just based off nothing.
The genti genti falling like they're all these combinations
and best ball mania being created right now that were not
possible four days ago because of one pre season series.
It it like? You want to talk about when is
the best time to draft? I mean right now like this, this
literally like today probably I, I saw someone post, I saw
someone in my Discord post a Gibbs gene T.
Oh my God. I I mean, there there's
basically no combination of two players that is going to project
for more points in Week 17 than those.
I I sent you one. I just started lamb puka.
Yes, on on FFPC, right, like just I just like people are are
losing their minds, man. They it's, it's it's we're,
we're, I guess we're just bored. I frankly, I guess people are
just bored. I think that was at the 8.
Lamb puka at the 8. Insane.
What? Yeah.
How'd you get Lamb at 8:00? Well, it's FFPC, so it has one
follower. FFPC stuff stuff just.
Happened. You've got 4 running backs, if
not 5. You've got Bowers and Chase and
there there's A and there's Jefferson at and Lamb at 8-9
that that happens, that happens. Someone so Dink and Leoni did
one the other night. Oh baby.
Did Kyron Williams? Seven win at seven, Yeah.
Yeah, and they started Kyron Hampton Henderson.
Yeah, get get your guys. It was very weird because it was
like. And then Josh Allen and then Bo
Nicks 3 rounds later. It was Kyron was just such an
odd fit on that team because the entire rest of the team was
every rookie 2 rounds ahead of ADP.
But then it was like Irene Williams for some reason in.
The past, well, I think maybe, maybe was this Artillery Frost's
main event, because this might have been the ultimate
chaperone. That's true.
That's. A good point that is that is
chaperone. Another another viable pick at
2:10 in the main event would be George Kittle.
And San Francisco is a pretty good puzzle right now with
injury speculation. Iuka Wild Jennings with the
calf, Ricky Person. I'd like to hear the whole story
there. Ricky, Ricky.
Person. The Ricky person was a the mis
click in a main event right? It's crazy.
It was not rewound unbelievably. No, that that is the FFPC, man.
They just, they just unilaterally just they're just
like, OK, this is the they. I I'll never forget they rolled
back a pic for me when I took Eric Ebron and I wanted Kaylin
Blodge. And ever since then I just
assumed that the boundary for getting your pics rolled back
was really low. But they said they said no.
Got to, got to do it tough. I mean I have.
It was it was we're going through this was this was the
one that me, Liam and Ron streamed the annual argument
raft, although we didn't argue as much this year as usual.
And then 6610 and yeah, the guy obviously wants Ricky Pearsall,
takes Ricky person says like I misclicked.
And then the guy's like, oh, he said it was a mis click.
We don't roll back mis clicks. And then the guy was like,
actually it was an app error. And the guy was like, well, it's
not you said it was a mis click. And yeah, tough, tough scene.
So stay safe out there, guys. I have no sympathy for that
mistake. How?
How in the world? You, you, you.
It's nice. It's reassuring for me in life,
as a middle-aged person, to know that sometimes you do actually
need to know how to spell things and you can't just sort of.
Off his phone, which is not a good excuse because I think for
a $2000 draft I would just not. I would simply not draft off my
phone. You should not be able.
To get away with it. I've done main events on my
phone before. I just you, you're braver phone,
you know, NORAD, whatever Ricky person is is not on your board.
You're searching for it. You don't know how to spell
pearsall and person is not even close.
You don't even have to know how to say.
It in Ricky P and then click the wrong one like the two would
have come up and he would have clicked OK.
Plus sign. OK, that's probably right.
But they roll back, they roll back auto draft.
You can just let the clock expire and they roll that back.
We'll only roll back auto drafts.
We won't roll it back if you click the wrong player, which
makes no sense. It makes no sense.
That's a terrible rule. Not always, not always what I
was in the hard way and Todd Burrows was late and three
rounds went by and he's like sorry guys.
And they would not let him. Maybe that's because it was 3
rounds. They would not let him and he
went off. He went off in the chat on them.
It was a sight to see. San Francisco.
Pat is the next slide here with with Kittle Pearsall and then
also I guess who Jennings and Iuke are there deep dives name,
deep dive names here we need to know.
They're deep dive guys keep getting hurt.
Cowling's injured, Watkins is injured.
DeMarcus Robinson is going to have a three-game suspension for
DUI. Who were you?
Even Amir Abdul season ending IR it's over.
You got hurt. So they signed.
They signed. OK, I almost said it.
Who do you guys think they signed yesterday?
They signed Jeff Wilson. Jeff Wilson, OK.
UK you ruined it. You guys are too online, no?
But I only knew because you started to say it.
I wouldn't. It would have been it would have
been more fun to be like it was Tevin Coleman.
They traded A conditional 7th for Raheem Moser for loss.
Like so many different with it. Joe Williams came back from the
UFL. Not three.
That's got to be. Available Yeah, the only the
only healthy 40 niner extinction event.
Brady Christian McCaffrey. Wow yeah, he looks great has not
missed a day of OTAs or training camp no limitations.
Full practice keep keep, keep. It's just insane, man.
He was a second run pick when this contest opened.
You want OK, there you go. There's there's combo.
I would take him at 103 in the main event.
I think he's just a way better pick in the main event than in
Bethbal Mania. I think format matters.
OK. Sure, I got no issue with that.
So Jacob, you're saying you'll take CMC over Brock Bowers?
Well, no, but Davis has. Davis has ruled against Brock
Bowers like Fiat. The real the real reality.
Davis, which is not a world. I thought you liked Bowers.
If we were, if we were to live in that world.
Well, I guess Jacob Sanderson is not that into Brock Bowers.
You want to know what the, you want to know what the real
reality is, is that McCaffrey probably just, we're going to
look back and be like, yeah, he probably should have just been
the one-on-one the whole time. Well, yeah, I mean, I, I'm
currently, I haven't pressed publish yet, but I'm in my
second entry at the Hitchhiker's got right now, which I'm
discussing McCaffrey and it's like he's really boring to
discuss. He will either be a top 2
running back or he will be injured for like 10 games.
Like those feel like the only two possibilities.
So like, certainly if if he stays healthy, there's like no
doubt in my mind that he will be one of the highest scoring
players in fantasy. They have such he's.
Schrodinger's cat. He's fantasy football.
Schrodinger's cat. Like either the cat is dead or
you are dead if you don't have the cat.
I also think he's kind of at this point not that interesting
to discuss because he goes in a spot where there's like not a
lot else to do. You know, it's, it's Jefferson's
off the board. You know, the rest of the
running backs are off the board. And then it's like him versus
puka. Well, I was kind of on the puka
side of that until the Stafford stuff, but I'm not now, you
know, and I'm not going to take neighbors over.
I'm sorry. I just take him where he where
he is. And it feels like we've maybe
reached a point where most people are doing that because
he's not rising so much. He doesn't seem like he's about
to flip Jefferson or, you know, or Gibbs or Berkeley or
whatever. So, yeah, we're all just kind of
getting our 8% right now. Congrats if you have a bag from
when he was at the one who turned though.
I do. I do because I I've had him
ranked 7th since Jaden Daniels took the field against Jalen
Hurst in the NFC Conference Championship.
They're. That's a real foresight,
honestly, that's that's. It is their hardest Rd. game on
paper is Houston and I'm not counting the Rams because that's
a home game for San Francisco even though they never beat the
Rams. But their hardest Rd. game is
Houston. Like their schedule is so cake.
People talk about it, but look at it and I mean the phenomenal,
the the benefit they earned by finishing last last year and not
like third or second in the NFC West is pretty, pretty
significant. So they could be ahead every
week. I think they're a fun kind of an
easy over bet San Francisco. And don't you want the running
back in a vacuum when you're looking at a team with that kind
of projection? So yeah, the other.
Thing is that they don't play absolute dogs for the most part.
Like they get like, it's, I mean, they get the Saints in
Week 2 and hey, man. It's 1, you see.
You see, it's one. 50 far the 50 earlier touchdown to mix and
Tipton brother. They they have the Browns in
week 13 as well. So there's some there's some
pretty bad team, but the like they close with the Titans, the
Colts, the Bears, they've got the Jaguars on there.
They get the. Fuck and the Colts are not bad.
I know, I know. The Titans and the Colts are are
kind of the good version of the bad team.
Or I think we're like Ward will Ward's down and Chuck it around.
Like I I don't think you want a team that's just like completely
in shamble. Like if they have the Saints in
week 16, you're like. Right.
They won't. McCaffrey might.
Play in the third quarter. Right.
Yeah, yeah. Like there's at least a little.
Now, the Colts, unfortunately, might be one of those teams.
We'll see where they're at. But in theory, in theory they
could be, you know, more fun than a St.
I hope with everything in my art that the Colts go 3 and 14 this
year, but I know that life does not smile on me that way.
And we will go 8:00 and 9:00 with Daniel Jones and pick 13th
overall in the NFL Draft. That I'm going to fucking like
it. I don't know if if you if you
saw odds on who will finish with the worst record in the NFL.
All those teams are on San Francisco schedule.
Yeah, it's around there. No, no, I'm not pushing back on
the the soft schedule. I'm actually saying it's a fun.
It's a funner schedule than you might assume.
OK. Like the, you know, they got the
box, they get the Cardinals twice.
Obviously they there's, they got the Panthers.
Like there's there's like some some games that could actually
be be pretty fun while they while they beat them.
Seattle could be anything. That's Week 1.
I think they're going to be bad, probably.
I think San Fran's only like a four point favorite.
I've already bet that game. Yeah, me too.
Yep, ready for risers? Let's do it.
He and Allen, sure.
I'm. I'm I'm slurping the top areno
on on Keenan Allen. This this right here.
Then not not buying Keenan Allen at like whatever he's gonna cost
now, like a 12th round pick or whatever is is classic left wing
slappy stubbornness. Keenan Allen is going to
sleepwalk into 70 receptions, 870 yards and five touchdowns.
And if he gets them in the right weeks, as he did last year, by
the way, Keenan Allen absolutely fantasy Football Playoff hero
last year. Like it it, it's it I, I can see
Jake like I can see at a cellular level.
Jacob hates to admit that this is true.
Keenan Allen, if Keenan Allen is going.
To be in 2025. You know you know who wants to
throw the ball to Keenan Allen in 2025?
Justin Herbert. On every play.
Hey, just a quick question. What position is Keenan Allen
currently lining up in? Not the one, not the one.
The lad Mcconkey boys want him to be in, I tell you that much.
No, it is. He's their X.
He played X for them. Whatever it's it's.
Keenan, Allen and X. You guys, you guys got to zoom.
Out you guys got to zoom out on the.
Charts said. We've got so many guys that can
play X, I've got XS falling out of my ass.
That makes time Keenan Allen to play.
All my exes live in Texas. Keenan Allen in 15 games last
year, 70 reception, 744 yards, 7 touchdowns.
He's just going to run that back.
On a. Terrible offense.
I'm I'm sorry, I, I it bring it truly brings me no joy.
To report so you don't draft, you don't draft Christian Kirk,
but you're, you're standing for Keen.
No, I, I, I I. I do.
I do.
Well, Keenan Allen is cheaper than Christian Kirk.
Well, for now for. Like probably 1.
Kirk doesn't play outside Bro X Demon.
X demon dude, they're calling Keenan Allen the X demon brother
like this is this is just. We can do better than X Demon
Exorcist. We can do better, Exorcist.
You guys, you guys, all you like, everyone's mad,
everyone's, everyone's saying, oh, this is terrible analysis.
Like you're, you're so wrong, guys.
I promise you this is going to be the most frustrating 117
target season in 14 games you've ever seen in your life.
I, I just, I promise beyond a shadow of a doubt, they don't
have a receiving tight end, right?
Most of their tight end snaps are going to be taken by two.
Guys, we're not. Familiar with that?
Listen to yourself. You're the the the the leader in
the Aranda Gadsden hive. Aranda Gadsden is, you know,
he's their third tight end. He's Donald, he's Donald Parham.
He's Ladarius Green. I wish it wasn't true.
It it is I guys Keenan Allen's target earning profile is I
mean, you want to talk about Jacob is like Mr. target
earning. He he earned like a significant
amount more targets per route run than Roma Dunes say last
year. Look, I, I, I think most targets
are earned. I I think that I think that the
bears had some systemic problems that allowed targets.
To be well, no systemic problems signing Keenan Allen to play Axe
in 2025. So surely I also think that is
dumb. Yeah, that's true.
I you guys are acting like this is like bringing me some joy to
to tell you that Keenan Allen's a good thing.
He looks happy when he is killing my favorite player in
the NFL. He is killing Keandre Lambert.
Smith, Keandre. Lambert, Keandre.
Lambert Smith is your favorite player in the NFL.
Yeah, didn't you see him? Close enough.
Didn't you see him? He called him the best wide
receiver ever. Didn't come on, man, didn't.
Didn't you see that touchdown, by the way?
I saw a great tweet. Davis put on the camo shirt
today and he was like, all right time.
For me to talk about Keenan Allen at the second time.
Keenan Allen. There, there, there.
There was a really good tweet and I don't remember which
Chargers beat writer did it, but one of them said Trey Harris's
drops in camp are so bad that they're not even talking about
Quentin Johnston. Wasn't a Charger beat refiner,
that was just Jeff Bell. Good shout out to Jeff Bell.
Shout out to Jeff for his new gig.
Shout out to. Football.
Guys writer Jeff. Bell Well, shout out to Shout
out to for whom the bells toll, because that tweet really stuck.
I like that. Movie Bell polls and today the
Bell polls for you, Davis. Keenan Allen.
Sorry guys, it brings me no pleasure.
He he is 33. I just think the rise is funny.
I mean, I know Amari Cooper exists, but the idea that he
wasn't going to sign, I mean, he got a little bit of money and
there's openings in the offense. Otherwise they weren't going to
bother. Nobody was going to.
Bother the idea he wasn't going to sign with the Chargers too.
OK, sure. Yeah.
I mean moving up 44 spots because the thing happened is.
Where, where do you guys, where do you guys have him ranked?
I have him in like the one 60s so I it's he's not really been a
part of my life. Do you have do you have Xavier
Lee get over Keenan Allen? This is a this is a moment of
truth right here. Like I have ranked.
At 1:54 above Xavier Lee, get Mark. 6 like above above Xavier
Lee get is like is like deeply unserious.
Oh no, I've I've we have league at 182, so it's not even close.
All right, let me let me see where I have him.
While you look, I will just slip in that Keenan Allen is on my
last call team. That's what kind of summer it's
been. Damn dude.
I I have, I have Keenan Allen at 1:34.
You'd think Jacob would have had him.
But I could be. Now with the Marty Cooper
instead, that was an error. I could be a little hot at 1:34,
but that is not as hot as Leone has him for, for whatever it is
worth. That that's.
Rigorous. That's up, Mike.
Statistical Incoming.
Analysis there. I do have one take on the
Chargers receivers that I want to get out there that's yeah,
somewhat related to Keen and Allen.
And I've seen a lot of people doing the oh man, got to fade
loud Mccocky. There's a lot of mouths to feed
now. Some of the mouths feed.
Everybody's mouth is wide open. They need they need to be fed.
And I just want to say there is a fundamental misconception
about our target competition works that continues to exist.
And it occurs when there are more than three names that
fantasy people have heard of where all of a sudden people are
like, Oh my God, there's five guys.
How are the targets going to get spread around?
It's like, well that's not going to matter at all to Loud
Mcconkey because unless you tell me that you think they are going
to run 3 wide receiver sets of three of Keenan Allen, Quinton
Johnson, KLS and Trey Harris, then I don't care what
combination of the other four Chargers wide receivers is
running an assortment of routes next to that.
He will be out there every time and two of the other four or
fewer will be out there next to him.
He is going to earn his targets. It's not like they have to find
a way to get all five guys involved like there is Rd.
competition for the other four players.
Maybe you exempt Keenan from that.
I don't, but I guess you and you and Leone do and beyond that
it's going to be target competition in the form of a
route competition amongst each other.
But LAD is going to be a OK as far as I'm concerned.
Correct. Yeah, and lad, you know, he's
best in the slot, but he's, you know. 79% of his college routes
were from the perimeter. Yeah, he can play outside.
He can play outside in 12. That's that's the other big
thing is like his he slot only right?
Is he only playing at 11 personnel or is he actually able
to play? He's going to play at 12 like
give me a break. So he's that that.
Yeah, that's not. All right, here's here's my
here's my little. Test wide receiver last year in
13. They would.
Play him.
Here's my cut #1 for them for. Your guy's slappiness?
Who do you ever ranked higher, Trey Harris or Keenan Allen?
Well, I, well, I think at this point I'm I.
Haven't updated my rankings yet so currently it's Trey Harris.
I've been meaning to do a rankings update today and it
will be Keen and Allen after that I.
I have Keen and Allen like 15. It's Trey Harris for me.
Yeah. Still I yeah, still, but maybe
not. For me.
That's that's a it's going on the to do.
Let's take a little peek at that.
Trey Harris is, you know what Trey Harris is giving?
It's giving a little Jolin. Polk just, I was going to go
Denzel Mims. Oh good, I wasn't even going to
be that mean that that's dark. You could do either.
Yeah, I don't run down. He has 2 targets, 0 catches on
25 pre season routes. I don't love that like all of
the film people that are watching pre season are like for
here, this doesn't look very good.
I don't love that he's getting out.
Shined by a fellow rookie in camp and they signed 38 year old
Keenan Allen. Let's keep making a move for the
rest of the show. I think eventually we'll be able
to get him. Yeah, Overall, yeah, he's dirty
vibes on Trey Harris. They're not what I'd call good
and I really like Trey Harris as a prospect, but I'm concerned.
The other thing that's tough about Trey Harris is that like,
when you think about what his path is to value.
I like I thought it was going to be like he's this big bodied X
type, you know, that can he's not going to get a ton of
separation, but he's out. He like serves a purpose for the
offense and he can be kind of this yards after catch guy, but
he's not playing X. He kind of immediately got
dusted by Keandre Lambert Smith for for the X role he's at, he's
at Z. He seems to be like kind of
their backup Quinton Johnston right now, which is kind of an
interesting thing because he is a yak, A yak guy.
Maybe that would ultimately work, but it's it's concerning
that, you know, that's probably not what they drafted him to be
and they maybe already changed the plan for him.
So yeah, like in some ways, you know, if you think about who's
more likely to return value as a second round pick, I feel like a
tad better about Jack Besh because he's because he's
playing on the outside. The odds there are also not very
good. They're better.
I think they're actually better. They're better because it's more
it's Besh's stuff has more been like Thornton actually has been
this like nice surprise as opposed to.
Besh is brutal, yeah. Yeah, Benton is the Lambert
Smith. He's got the issue with Besh
though is like, well, yeah, but the the problem is they're going
to play so much 12 I think so like the fact that.
Thornton Yeah, they're gonna play a lot.
Of it sounds like it sounds like Thornton is kind of locked up
the X role, which means I assume their 12 personnel set is Bowers
Mayor Myers Thornton, so. That's.
Just like battling for Trey Tucker to play 11, which on the
Raiders I think is not that valuable if you're only playing
an 11 that might be like half the routes.
No, it won't be half the routes, but I hear what you're saying.
I mean, he's he's almost like the slot receiver on a typical
offense where he's like probably more like 65% would be what I
would say. But.
But not on a typical offense is what I would say.
There's some offenses in which you're like, it's fine to only
play in 11. That's 80% of the routes on this
offense. I think like they're going to
probably have one of the highest 12 personal rates in the league,
right? Half is probably overstating it,
but I would say. Half is definitely.
Overstating 5, they'll probably be top five and 12 personal
rate. That that's right, That's right.
Yeah, it's not great, but I do like that his path is like to
play Z and be kind of maybe he's like running shallow around.
You know, Deonte Johnson never really played outside or never
really played in a slot. He's always outside.
So like Bash could be maybe like a like a intermediate target
owner from the outside type of vibe.
I'm like starting to see the vision a little bit, even if
it's not I'm not saying he should go like way higher than
he goes, but I like taking him in the 17th round now it's fun.
Paris, I'm like, what's the yeah, I'm we're too high on
Harris, is what I'm. The other issue with Harris is
like I liked him as a prospect but, and it's even reflected in
my write up on him, it was like he is a super boom bust
prospect. It wasn't like I.
Have a lot of conviction that he is good it.
Was more like I can see a path where he is great and I can see
a path where he's terrible and I would like to be overweight on
that type of bet. But like as we've now gotten
more information, I'm starting to, I'm starting to wait towards
the he's terrible side of the boom bust.
Like if you're a massively boom bust prospect and then all of
the preseason indicators about you are are horrendous.
I I have concerns. This is, you know, Davis
mentioned earlier, when do you want to be drafting?
This is the time of year, I think.
I mean, this is a question for you guys where once you get to a
certain point, maybe it's round 14, I mean, I feel like all bets
are off. Would would you rather have,
wouldn't you rather have Tori Horton than any of these guys
right now? I was, I feel like it's maybe
even earlier than that. I actually just wrote this
little thing about this on my Patreon, which is there's so
much information going into ADP right now that is either not
entirely accurate or just downright like actually harmful
like. Davis.
May I as a as a compliment to you?
I've read it and I thought you ended with a great line.
If you're not adjusting to the daily changing landscape of
drafts, you're going to be drafting teams that are better
fit for May screenshots than winning in December.
How about it? Well done.
Because it's like the, the, the examples are like, OK, if we
just knew in May that Joe Mixon had this foot injury and was
like not going to be healthy. Like I think a Texan speaker
said he's 30% likely to miss week one.
If I would have told you that in May, he never would have been
going back-to-back with Huba Hubbard.
If I told you that Pacheco was healthy and that Kareem Hunt,
Eli Mitchell just look like shit and we're way behind him, he
would have been in that same range.
If I told you Tajae Spears had a high ankle sprain going into the
season, Tony Pollard would be in that range.
Like if I like just all and none of these specific examples are
important if you disagree with me, but it's just about this
number that you see, this ADP has all this information that we
can basically totally disregard at this point for some of these
guys. So I think a lot of us are, I
mean, I know that I, I'm big about this.
Like I, you know, I, I don't want to reach too much.
I want to follow all of Hayden's rules in the basketball
manifesto and yadda, yadda. But at some point you are just
like wasting picks if you're just taking guys because
they're, you know, eight spot ADP values or whatever when the
ADP is wrong. The great thinker once said to
be unburdened by what has been. But be unburdened by what has
been. Be unburdened by what has been.
It's it's good advice. Listen.
Listen to this show. Suddenly it's not about Pokémon
slappies or seals or blind seals.
We're getting deep. So what an?
Evolution. Not everything.
Let me let me continue to fill my role as the right wing slappy
here on the on the program with Tori Horton.
Camo. Loved Tori Horton Had a big bag
of Tori Horton in the Big board. Loved him as a prospect.
He told Seattle Beat Writers last week he was about 70%
healthy. His final season of Colorado
State. Tori Horton is the most obvious
wide receiver for 37% of the routes for the Seattle Seahawks.
I I dude, they're not playing. They're not playing Tori Horton
over MBS. I don't think so.
But why? Why would they not?
If you read the beat reports on the they already are, I think.
Which like this is the most important part.
It is not only glowing reports about Tori Horton, it is paired
with really bearish reports about MBS.
It would be terrible. MBS is awful.
Well, I know, but it would be. But beat reports don't normally
say that about anyone. Like normally they're like, you
know, they love what he brings to the offense or whatever.
Super Bowl experience. You you read in the same
paragraph Tori Orton caught, you know, his like 7th touchdown of
the week. And then the next one was like,
yeah, MVS has not made any plays.
So it's like, I, I just think, yeah, I, I disagree.
I think Tori Orton is going to be the third wide receiver on
this team sooner than later. MVS.
Yankee is right now, to be honest.
Potentially at risk of getting cut.
And then you have the scenario where like I don't think Cooper
Cup can actually play in two wide receiver sets.
I think they're going to obviously try that, but I think
that there's an out where halfway through the year they're
like this offense isn't working. We need some speed on the field
in our 12 personnel packages. Let's let's play Horton on the
outside and in 12 personnel over Cop and cop can be a 11 personal
only guy. I watched that whole game and he
came out when Lock went out, I think.
So they were, you know, they used cup didn't play.
They used them early. Of course, neither did Smith and
Jigba. I mean, all the signs were good.
Horton is good like I would not be surprised if Horton is more
efficient on the targets and it is better targets per outrun the
Cooper Cup this year. I I really wouldn't be like
because I think cup is erring on the side of being totally done,
but the. Sorry Davis, let me read this
list for the audio listeners, which I think is redundant.
Keenan Allen, Trayvion Henderson, Tank Bigsby, Jacory
Croskey Merritt. Love to see it.
Oh, Marion Hampton, Chase Brown, Emeka Ibuka, Keaton Mitchell and
Horton. Loved seeing Mitchell break a
couple in that Ravens game. Have a lot of him over the last
couple years in dynasty. Love to see that.
Croskey Merritt good signs. Also Ibuka.
Everybody's. Everybody's into him A. 100%
what? Just real quick on the MBS
stuff, like we've gotten some pretty accurate, really bearish
reports over the years, like the Kenny Galladay stuff from New
York where they're like this dude straight up can't move.
This is not a time for bearishness.
Everyone's feeling optimistic right now.
Like if you just have people just like 1 by 1 projects, like
the records for the teams, you know, or like fantasy points for
players, like everyone would be too hot.
You'd have to, you know, we're, we're feeling good.
It's a fun year. No one's, no one's going to
bottom out. No one's going to be impossible
to, to sit down and watch on a Sunday.
Everyone's going to be good. So if, if you're like, hey, this
guy can't fucking play, that's a problem.
That's a problem for me in, in the, in the, in the time of
optimism. So anyway, I think it's all good
for for Tori Horton. OK.
Bigsby, has it all been said? Well, no, I mean Bigsby.
Well, no, we should. We should discuss this
preseason. Game back going down he.
Kind of got. He kind of got bearish, like to
play no snaps with the starters. They played what Lawrence
played. 12 snaps. You're you're you're not reading
into it. I.
Think you should run it into it because the whole.
Because how What is? What is the opposite, like?
So like, I think, OK, the opposite of like, take lock is
if you have an opinion that like won't change no matter what new
information is, right? I think, like what Pat is
experiencing right now is take gravity, which is when you have
an opinion that's very firmly held, you then temporarily
change that opinion, but you get some piece of information which
allows you to revert to your initial opinion.
And then it like quickly, quickly rebounds.
That's what happened. There's a couple.
Take take elasticity. Take elasticity.
Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah.
For the rubber band to take, Yeah, No, there's yeah.
I'm I would say I'm the reason I'm fairly reasonable on Tank
Bigsby. I think I've been, I've had,
I've made the. Pro the source of reasonableness
on Tank Bigsby, the person who had him out of his initial 240.
Well, you know, it's not, it's a team effort over here and, and I
and I just grow. I got him back in.
No Zach. Zach got.
Him back. In Zach was the one Zach was the
one who was like Tank Bigsby is Carlos Hyde effect.
Zach is not the biggest tanks. Big thing bigsby fancy.
OK. We're getting, we're getting to
go behind the curtain. The the bigsby stuff, the way I
look at it is. Oh, Sack is in the chat, said
I'm the one who had them out of the 240.
Suck on these nuts. Lizards.
OK, so this. If you want to look like what a
big elasticity right here I would like.
To be painted a little bit more reasonably in which I will I
would say, look, he's you have him as a pure right wing
slapping. He's a he's a slap pick.
He's slapping hard. But he's you know, it's all
basically just projection that we're putting on him from camp
reports. And so I'll go over there, you
know, and and I'll very uncomfortably sit and hope that
that those reports come through. But the second that it looks
like oh wait, these beat reporters who said that that it
was Tank Bigsby is the is the number one running back probably
got it wrong because the ETN played 100% of snaps with the
ones. And then yesterday, and this is
when we really lowered Bixby actually is the yesterday Tooten
got a ton of run with the ones as well.
So now he's getting double squeezed when like 2 weeks ago
Tooten was hurt and the reports were the Bigsby was the the the
lead runner. That's a different world than
ETN is coming off 100% of snaps of the starters and now Tootin
is back and running with the ones.
Bixby has a 2 down profile. So if he doesn't have the path
to volume, he's really kind of nothing, you know.
So anyway, I think it's not like he goes to dust, but we we've
already lowered him. Yeah, I mean, I'll lower him a
little bit. I'm not as I don't care as much
about the preseason stuff. I care about the tooten stuff.
And that was good because I thought he looked excellent in
the preseason game just watching it.
Yeah, he's. The best running back on the.
Run people were doing. The people.
Were doing the thing that we do now, which is we don't care how
good anybody looks. We care about when they play and
with whom they play And so people are like playing in the
fourth corner. And then what was nice was that
Liam Cohen also loved how good Tooten looked.
And so he and then some getting more reps with the ones I
thought that was great. The the preseason ETN stuff, to
me, I don't really care about because I just don't think that
that is like a remotely plausible way in which they
operate their offenses here. That ETN is like a complete
snap. No, so so you.
When, when the when the when the usage is like, so clearly not
what the offense is actually going to look like, then I don't
think that what they're trying to do is replicate what their
offense is going to look like. So I don't really care that much
about it. Like it's, it's obviously going
to be some form of committee. So to me, this was just a
scenario if they were like, yeah, Ethan's gonna get the
first drive and then. Well, what it what it does
though, it seemed. Portrayed or whatever, but like
I, that just seemed to me like deference to a pedigree player.
Same. Well, it confirms that he is
like their number one running back though.
They could have put, they could have put, Yeah, that for those
drives. If if Bigsby, because The thing
is like Bigsby needs to be the number, the number 1 runner like
he like in order for him to be a good pick in a three in this
three-way committee, he needs to kind of have a lock on the like
hammer running back roll, you know, and you don't give a guy
100% of snaps, another dude 100% of snaps to the starters.
If Bigsby has locked that up, you would give Bigsby like if
Bigsby played 100% of snaps to the starters.
We'd probably overreact to that. I'll give you that.
But I don't know, it doesn't seem.
No, I think it would mean I think it would matter a lot more
of Bigsby did because ETN is the first round draft pick.
It's a bigger organizational signal.
If you, if you were to do that with Bigsby, it would be like a
big signal that says we've moved on from Travis ETN.
But if you, if you're just going to give someone the nominal Dr.
then you would default that to ETN.
So it it matters, it's not that it's irrelevant, but it matters
less than if they had done that with Bigsby.
Why does it have to be a nominal Dr. The the the report from John
Shipley entering training camp was that they were quote,
starting from scratch at the running back position.
They This is not the regime that brought in, not GM, not the
coach who drafted ETN. This is a completely different
group of people. You normally don't get first
round pick deference from strangers.
It's from the guys who drafted you.
So I think he he probably has shown more than it was reported.
He's shown in camp to get that. I just think that every team
operates pre season differently and some teams operate pre
season in a way that mimics what they will do in the regular
season with their rotations. And some teams don't and some
teams, we've seen this through several teams every pre season
will do. We give this running back a
drive, then we give this running back a drive, then we give this
running back a drive. And that is not necessarily how
they operate in the season. And because for some teams it's
like A, we just are lazy and we don't want to mess with all the
intricate rotations or B, we want to see every running back
get a chance to operate in every game situation, even if there's
some that we don't think they're going to handle in season.
And so to me, when I see a running back get every snap and
then it's like Bigsby got every snap of the next drive.
Like to me, they were just planning to do, yeah, each
running back is going to get his drives right again, was the one
that went first and they weren't going to play all of the other
starters multiple drives. So that's what happened.
But I don't, I think it's like maybe not a nothing burger, but
I think it's like a way closer to a nothing burger than a
signal for how they're going to operate their offense.
Because we have seen this from several teams in preseason.
They don't necessarily mimic their situational running back
usage with how. They yeah.
And to be clear, we lowered Bixby yesterday after the the
Tootin stuff. So that's when I'm like, all
right, if Tootin's running with the ones again.
And he looked good in the preseason game and he got down.
He he you know, he knew the the situational football.
So they get that last minute field goal.
He's you know, you know, Cohen loved that.
So there's. I I agree with the whole
commentary here from Jacob. It's it's less Put another way,
it's less important for some teams in the preseason to
evaluate their players in these games on such a small sample
than it is to not give out information about they what what
they really are planning to do. So you know, if you're
comfortable in your own skin and you've got the political aspect
where this one player is highest paid and the veteran and maybe
he's even being shopped by starting this game.
Other reasons to sort of think the same way, which is that I I
feel like this is also one where they really would rather you be
confused than to evaluate Travis Etienne in the first quarter pre
season game at this point. Yeah.
I I think it's more likely that that it means something that
doesn't, but maybe it's not It doesn't.
And then I don't comment here pointing that ETN then or Bixby
then played, you know, a decent amount of work, which is not
what you typically do with with a valued starter.
So it's just we and, and again, I, my whole Bigsby case rested
on the idea that he was the starter that he was going to be,
but you know, not like an every down back starter, but I mean,
he was going to be the guy out there on 1st and 10 because he's
the guy you trust most as a runner.
And if that's not the case, I just have so little interest.
I, I'm not that interested in Bigsby as it's part of a three
down committee in the in the 11 twenties.
Like no, I, I'm out, I'm back into the 150 range again.
It's not like you couldn't, you couldn't possibly draft him
under any circumstances. But he got up here with the idea
that actually Bigsby's the starter now, and that looked
premature. Yeah, I don't know I'm I'm I'm
going to I'll disagree with you on this one.
I also saw in the chat though that I want to address because I
think it's very different. Chad candles in the chat said
everyone's panicking about The Jets running backs because of
that usage in two drives. That I think is fundamentally
different than the Jaguar stuff because to me it's when a team
goes out of their way to hyper micromanage usage in the
preseason. I way more by that that
micromanagement is indicative of the regular season plans than
when a team actively doesn't micromanage pre season usage.
It is just like your drive, your drive, your drive.
Like the fact that The Jets played the starters and on that
drive. Like I would be saying this,
well, I guess I like had Bruce Hall played all 10 snaps, that
would be good news and that it would be way better than what
happened. But it would also, I think not
tell us that much about their rotation if they were like,
yeah, Breece's drive and then Braylon's drive and then Davis's
drive. But the fact that instead they
were like no, Davis is coming in for 3rd and.
Five blocks they did. Download is getting a couple
like and then Breece is getting this.
It's like, yeah, that probably is what they want to do because
they took the time out to like very specifically curate their
rotation that I believe that that is their current plan for
that rotation. Does that mean that whatever
their current plan is, is the plan in week 1 or that that week
1 one plan is the plan by week 14?
Who knows. But like, because they took the
effort to do that, I, I, I have no real doubt that that rotation
is their current week 1 plan rotation.
Yeah, yeah, that I agree with. I mean, I think that was more
concerning than the ETN usage, unfortunately, as someone who
wants to be in on Breeze. And I'd also note that the
Raiders behind Genti, I believe their running backs entered the
the field in order of age, like descending age.
So yeah, they're, you're right there.
There's some element here of maybe they didn't put that much
thought into it. But again, the, the like, no
thought. Let's just kind of throw ETN out
for a series, then let's look, let Tank run out there for a
while and then let let Bigsby. It does at least seem to me that
that's probably the order of, of the depth chart right now.
And. Because Bixby doesn't catch
passes. I just think, yeah, I just, I'm
not that interested in him at 1. He he should fall, right?
Like are you guys taking him in in 1/28?
I. Who's sorry?
Bixby. Bixby.
No, I'm moving him down because there's other guys I want to
take at 128, but I'm not proving him down to the one 50s.
Yeah, I, I like he he had flipped.
Smidge. He had flipped Tootin.
Yeah, like I would. At this point, I'd rather have
Tootin again. I would rather take Dylan
Sampson than Tank Bixby. I would rather take Jaden Boy
than Tank Bixby. Yep, Jaden Blue over.
Tank is crazy dude. Jaden Blue has a bone burs on
his heel right now. Cool, it'll heal.
Like I mean, well, not I was going to say famously, as though
my main event streams are famous, which they're not, but
like, I mean, Liam and I just got into this big fight about
Jags running back versus Dylan Sampson.
I I'm way more bullish on Sampson than I guess anyone, but
I would rather have him than Bigsby solidly.
But then I would still rather have Bigsby than like, me
straight up handcuffs. Sorry, A what?
College. Yeah, the he's a VFL.
Yeah. Yeah, OK What college that's
like that's like a why I'm not a reliable narrator in Hollywood
Brown like I. Just or Marvin Mims perhaps?
Oh well. Marvin Mims, I mean.
Here we go, we. Should clear an hour out for
this because you this is the dumbest take.
It's not dumb, but it's you were you were obfuscating so hard on
Marvin Mims that I I couldn't even believe.
It I was making an awesome Jurassic Park reference.
No, Leonie. Leonie hoisted you with your own
petard. Actually, no.
Leonie has been wrongly out of Marvin Mims marking on Marvin
Mims the whole season and this the Marvin Mims people can enjoy
their victory lap right now because they won't be enjoying
the 2025 NFL season. Yeah.
Because, famously, Marvin. Because, famously, Marvin Mims
has been bad when he's been on the field.
No, to do the only things he can do, he can't play wide receiver.
It's it's preposterous. This is the I was just arguing
about this with with Ben Gretch, actually, yeah.
But Gretch is right and you're wrong.
No, because the. I'm, I'm ultimately going to be
proven correct because Sean Payton knows what I know, which
is that when a player plays as well as Marvin Mims has done in
a limited sample, instead of targeting Devon Vele or Troy
Franklin, you simply give the player who's been really good
greater opportunities to see what they can do.
Now, if Marvin Mims plays poorly, can't win over the
middle, yadda yadda, whatever, then yeah, it's going to go back
and we're going to have, we're going to, he's going to average
2.3 yards per route, run on 40 percent of the routes.
But I don't think that's going to happen.
He was against man coverage in his second year in reception.
This is nothing, literally nothing is less convincing to me
than percentile versus man coverage like this.
No, I'm saying what I mean. Like what percentile out of 100
do you think he ranked in BAT 100?
Being the best, I'm sure he's terrible against man you you
would. You would the first percentile
the first percentile. Literally so non convincing to
me. What?
Look up his own. From that, how many routes could
he even run against man? I'll, I'll look that up.
It could. It could not have 'cause it
didn't run that many routes overall, so it could not have
possibly been that. Many routes and why did they not
let him run any routes against me I.
I'm not Even so I don't think you're I don't think you are
your prior of like, oh, I don't think Marvin Mims is any good
and I think the reason why he doesn't.
He was in the 22nd percentile against zone, by the way, so a
lot better than first, but. It it, it, it doesn't it, it
doesn't matter. This is a.
This is kind of the archetype actually of the sort of player I
would think that that famously a left wing slappy would be in on
like. Oh, he's right wing slappy now.
Yeah, maybe he's centrist. He's a little centrist because
it's it's about, but the right wing is having its moment with
with because he got the preseason usage.
He's out there all the time. He's gonna run around.
Jameson Williams, Centrist. Slap.
Yeah, he's a Jameson Williams centrist slappy.
Yeah, honestly, it's like he's like Jameson Williams on the
Broncos is what's happening. Right.
Yeah, it's the famous IS. The ultimate centrist Slappy.
He's a central slappy. I think.
Marvin Mims, Jason Williams.
Like I'm noticing, I'm noticing. I'm, I'm noticing A trend here.
Marvin Mims if if this is indeed his role and he runs 80% of
routes on the Broncos, you guys are so fucked.
It's like he's gonna finish his like the 28th high scoring wide
receiver. I just.
In fantasy. I just don't care how many
routes he runs because to me he's already what he did last
year is what he's good at. So I think that if he runs a
bunch more routes that that like you, you, you can't.
You can't. You're taking his yards per
route run and projecting it forward into a bigger role and
we're in our minds his no no run's like shrinking the more
routes he. Runs no, no green what I'm doing
right now, let me let me tell you what my mental model is on
Mims. What I'm doing is I'm scaling
down the yards per route run as. Yeah, you gotta, you gotta make
that rate. Go.
But David, it's yours. But I'm no no.
No, but I'm, I'm extrapolating it.
I'm extrapolating it to be a full time player.
So I'm giving him, I'm giving him like 2.07 yards per route
run on 487 routes where he, you know, where he.
Wait, wait, you're giving him 2.07 yards per route run on 480
routes? Yeah, Davis, I would like to
model 1000 dollars runs 300 routes, then he has it under 2
yards per route route. Let me think about that.
Let me, let me, let me think about let me think about the
right way to. Frame what currency?
Jacob, you should have a minimum route that's high because you
the way you lose this bet is that oh, you did.
Sorry. I did.
I said 300. 300 Sorry my bad. All right, we will like.
Conditional on yeah if he runs under 300 the bet voids, but
conditional on 300 routes I will bet.
Anything you like that? He I need to do, I need to do
some Sean Payton research, but I I'm not saying, I'm not saying
no. Two, according to Pro Football
Focus, not to all of the cool sites that eliminate routes
where other people are doing stuff and boost 3 yards to run
higher. Yeah.
Yeah, the the you need to, you need to do it with PFF yards for
around the command. I I get like I you get like my
guess is and also I think that you are, I think you get you're
just too low on Mims target earning potential.
Like I think Peyton is seeing something, which is why he wants
to. Play, I mean, that's fair.
I mean, that's fair. I mean, Mims being out there
that much was bullish like, you know, yeah, I raised him up,
yeah. One week ago, the joke on Peyton
was how no matter what, we think he's going to use seven
different receivers all the time and kill us all.
I also think Peyton's pre season usage is historically weird.
Like last year, remember there was like a period where like P
Rhyme is playing with the ones were like, are they not going to
cut him? And then it was like a week
later he's like, yeah, he's caught and Tim Patrick was
playing with the ones and then he got traded to the Lions
immediately. Like there's, there's some weird
stuff, but I will be very fair to you, Davis, even if I'm 100%
correct about Mim's limitations and he is nowhere near the same
player on an expanded role. Obviously, it's not like he's
going to earn 0 targets on an additional 15 routes per game.
Like even if he's like a, you know, whatever he is on his
current role and then he is like a 12% targets per route run on
whatever additional real boy routes like that's, that's still
an extra 2 targets per. Game, I mean Mims, Mims ran 206
routes last year and had a 2.57 yards per route run.
So I 300 might be might seems, yeah.
So how many yards did he have last year?
More than Devon Bailey, I hope. You don't have.
It just just barely 503. 503 and you said he ran 207 rounds but
he'll run 300 this year so 503 / 301.67.
I gave him 0 yards on the other round.
If I if if. 0. I think you know what, you know
what I I, I feel pretty confident is I feel pretty
confident Marvin Mims can do a Lance Moore season in in the
Sean Payton offense. And those are super valuable at
what he costs. If he was wide receiver 47,
sure. Don't don't, don't take him
over. Michael Pittman, junior.
Well. Come on.
You're to some degree you are holding his efficiency.
Like if he would have had a 1.97 yards per route run last year,
would you be making the same dogmatic?
Argument yes I would just be less interested This is why like
look Leonie never has bad takes but like the the one tweet that
he did was was bad like I no I don't dislike him because he had
a high yards per route run I I dislike him because I don't
think he could play wide receiver based on the.
Lack of route. It's also crowded as hell.
And Sean Payton's history, like that's the issues I I would
like. It's not crowded, though.
What I'm saying is that Devon Vele.
Always crowded when Sean Payton's the coach.
Yeah, it's always crowded. You know, he's going to run a
rotation of these guys. And Vele was being reported as
the starter, but he lost his helmet, too.
And Troy Franklin's had a really good can, and they just drafted
Pat Bryant, so. The that's.
Bad news about about Pat Bryant. Yeah, I think we we may be a
little too much Pat Bryant, but. Yeah, that's unfortunate.
End of the season. He could, he could, he could be
something. Who knows?
Anything could happen. He could be, he could be, He
could be anything, even Marvin Mims.
I do fear that Pat Bryant might be one of the crappy Pats.
He might be like that. Yeah, I think he did crappy.
Pat, where are all the Broncos talking about?
The Ben Albright helmet stuff, like look, I didn't want to
tweet about it because Albright follows me on Twitter and
famously quote tweets people. So I was kind of.
Scared he could clip that's he couldn't tweet that.
That's fine. Clip me Ben like the idea that
like you are coping so hard for your take that you were like
actually dolphins was supposed to start but he forgot his
helmet and that's why he came into the game on the third play
for 1/3 down snap and then subbed back out and then Harvey
went back out is so preposterous.
Like this dog ate his homework for fucking breakfast, lunch and
dinner and he was like, he forgot his helmet.
I'm actually I was I was actually correct.
But he forgot his helmet. And then in week one with RJRV
he has like 18 carries. He's going to be like, look man,
butterfly effect. If JJ Dobbins remembered his
helmet, he would have been out there the whole time.
Clearly I was right and people don't understand this.
Like get the fuck out of here. It it was not his best.
It was all time cope. I'm not sure anyone's ever coped
harder than than JK Davins forgot.
I did try, but we talked about Jayden Reid, but like, I don't
think I'll be able to stop it. For the listeners, when Jacob
started down that path, Davis got up and left and right as he
ended, Davis sat right back down and hit the the button just.
Like I knew I knew I knew about the.
Time I knew. About the time that was right.
That's OK, a radio veteran. It's it's gonna be a 45 second
clip. I'll be back in 45 seconds.
We do have a super chat asking for a riser in Davis's ranks.
Waddle where? What's where you guys at on
Waddle these days? I know, Jacob, you like Waddle,
so you're probably with Davis on on the ranks, Yeah.
I've had Waddle, head of Smith for a while.
Love Waddle, wish we had him on the main event team but we don't
but that's fine. He's always Monday.
There's always Monday and Jill Waddle will always have my vote.
I mean the vibes on Tyreek are terrible.
He's. Bad.
With like two different things, he apparently.
Tua says it will take a lot to repair their relationship.
And then he decided to write The Hitchhiker's Guide to Running
Back this year. He only did one team and that's
the team he's on. Tyree Kill is on our fallers
list. Let's run that down while we're
here on the Dolphins. A lot of these guys we've talked
about already at the top, a 30% dip, Rashi Rice, Judkins, the
Chargers receiver duo, Harris and Johnston.
Tyree Kill, Joe Mixon, Jack Besh, Naji Harris, Chris Godwin.
Happy to keep going on Miami, but I would like from Davis.
What are we waiting for on the Rice suspension?
I I have no idea what we're waiting on.
We're waiting on Pete's right tackle, right?
Are we? Well, Roger, go to hell.
No, Pete's right, Zach. I knew it meant one of the
coaches. I think I, I think I drafted
Goodell. I mean, Goodell played guard.
I. Believe.
Oh, it's Pete had Pete Carroll. Yeah, yeah, he had Pete Carroll.
Which I mean, that is going to be a disaster.
Pete Carroll's undersized and he's like 73, dude.
Yeah, no. I I put Roger Goodell in the
trenches to punish him. I mean, it's going to be.
It's going to play wide receiver.
If he gives rights only four games, it's.
Good. It's going to be 4 games, right?
Isn't isn't it just going to be 4 games?
I liked your theory when the the legal development occurred about
how like you thought maybe this is the Chiefs in the NFL and
everybody sort of coming together.
This is we're going to get out of this now, set it up, here
comes the suspension and we'll we'll move on from there.
Just that the suspension hasn't been announced.
Addison happened, you know what, more than a week ago.
Not that they're the same situation exactly, but why?
Has it been announced? I thought we'd know by now.
It's so frustrating, like just announce the suspension, it's
gonna happen. What more is there to find out?
There's nothing more there. Are they just now?
Like does the NFLI know? They say they wait for, you
know, the legal system will play out.
But like, do they like fully wait?
Do they, do they like, like not even bothered to look into the
details of this until the, you know, decision was announced or
the plea was announced or whatever.
Like you could have done a little bit of advance work on
this, you know, got in the gist. It's been like this.
Crazy. It should take a day.
The day after it was announced they could have dug in.
They could they schedule Rice to come interview or whatever and
then, you know, a week, a week from when his, his plea
agreement was announced that we could have had a suspension that
would have been acceptable. This is this is stupid.
It's so upsetting because we all know what's going to happen,
which is that even though everyone knows that Rishi Rice
is going to get suspended that like probably between four and
six games, that when he gets suspended between four and six
games, his ADP will plummet and he will be on the followers
list. Even though we all know what's
gonna happen. And so I don't want to draft him
that much right now outside of time box contests, because I,
I'm expecting this fall and I want to just windmill in bottom
price for sea Rice in like my last 25 BBMS.
But we just have to wait on Pat's right guard to to lay down
the law. Yeah, though he will fall
though. I, I think he will fall because
I think it's, it's, it's maybe a 2 gamer.
He doesn't fall. This is what I was kind of
saying yesterday on basketball breakfast.
I I think A2 gamer doesn't fall but anything more he does fall.
He's got to get more, he's got to get more than two games.
I I think he gets 4. My guess is.
Four, or at least I still. Think 6 but.
Yeah, me too. He's going.
To fall a lot on 6. Yeah.
We have a lot, I mean. He's gonna fall because like
Addison, we've known Addison is getting a three-game suspension
this year for like a year and a half, and he's still yeah.
Any games he will fall is like so insane, but also probably
correct. Yeah, like that that is probably
just true. My my two games he won't fall is
giving the market so much more respect than it's earned.
Yeah, yeah, so you're right. Consiglier is probably right.
It's it's any suspense as soon as it's announced he's going to
fall, which makes him harder to draft.
I really only draft him in the 5th.
Some of the time box stuff I'll take him in the late 4th.
Yeah, we we've got a lot. The Great Dane especially
because it's advanced 4 to 12 time boxed like I took him in
the fourth in that contest. We've got a few more slides and
not a ton of time. Let's see what we can get
through here. The first round.
Pat, you and I talked about this a little bit yesterday after the
Matthew Stafford news. Slight uptick for CD Lamb, Malik
neighbors, little bit down for Jefferson and Puka and then also
Genti right at that 1-2 turn. Any big picture first round
strategy thoughts here? I feel like you can just do
anything you want. I mean, especially late.
Not, I mean not really. I take the.
Yeah, right. Yeah, I I'm taking my first
round strategy right now is I'm in a puppy three.
I'm taking more Gibbs. That's like the the it's sort of
aligning. It's nothing special about the
puppy 3, but it's just like my Gibbs take aligning with a new
tournament. And I'm just like in this
tournament, I'm just going to take more Gibbs get make sure
I'm overweight on Gibbs this year, even if it means being a
little underweight Bijon. And yeah, that's like kind of
the only weird thing I'm doing in the first round right now.
I've been doing that for a while.
I've been mostly I've been like slightly out of market on Gibbs
and BBM. But then every time there's like
a big dollar low entry contest like the Husky, the Chow Chow,
the Great Dane, all that stuff. Every time I have a pick at 2 or
later and Gibbs is on, I just take take Gibbs every single
time in those whole dog, whatever else.
So my, my like dollar percentage on the Gibbs is probably at like
30%, but my, my actual percentage is like 14%.
How how panicked is everybody on hookah with Matthew Stafford
trying several experimental procedures and essentially cause
playing is like a member of the Roy family?
I mean, it went from like being pretty low to like some like a
six, maybe A7, like the, it that, that did not matter to me.
But what mattered to me was that he, he went from, oh, I'm going
to be ready to practice on Monday to, Oh, I, my body, like
I can't practice the, the, the, the Airstream with the red light
therapy in it. That is like nothing to me.
I mean, that just sounds like a good Monday.
I'd love for that thing to show up to my house but.
Apparently, apparently because I was listening to Jordan Rodrigue
yesterday, She she said that that was like a scheduled thing
that they're like. It was like for the team.
It's for the whole team and it just happened to be the day that
Stafford was. Now maybe they scheduled for
that day just in case, I don't know.
But it didn't. It wasn't there for Stafford.
Right, there's a space shuttle it.
Was the thing he ended up doing instead of practicing, which
only heightened the concern about him not practicing, but it
wasn't like they specifically brought in this giant medical.
Yeah. That's a blue tent right there.
That is a blue tent. It's just not ideal that like,
Stafford threw on Saturday and they were like, it went great,
he's gonna be there on Monday. And then instead of throwing on
Monday as planned, he like, basically went into the
cryogenic sleep from Interstellar waiting for the
other people to get from the planet with the massive wave.
And then it was like, like, oh, it was 10 seconds for me and
it's been 25 years for you and. Like.
That that concerns me a lot. Yeah.
Is that not so he's not on down on the planet with the gravity
because that would be good. Then he's actually itching
slower. No, I think, I think it's the
opposite actually. He he, he, he was, he was the
guy that was like for the first couple when they come back from
way when. They come back.
He stayed up all night. Yeah, for the first.
Couple years I was researching some things and then I just
like, hooked myself into the sleep device.
And then you woke me up and yeah, it's been 25 years and
your daughter has a video that's been prepared for you and she
thinks you're dead. See, I compared it to Austin
Powers that they were cryofreezing him for 30 years.
But I like your analogy better. I I don't know with with puka.
So I'm starting to get pretty nervous about Stafford.
Puka is so good. It's like hard for me to get,
you know, he's healthy and you know, Jimmy G is kind of a a
disaster in a lot of ways, but I kind of I do trust him to get
the ball on like to puka on the the more short intermediate
stuff. He can feed Puka, I think.
And then the question with Stafford is, are we talking
about a guy who's going to be out for the year or are we
talking about a guy who might miss, you know, four or five
games as he finally fixed this, this herniated disc?
I think that this back thing, I think it's like an Adam Dunn of
injuries. Like to me that's like it's a,
it doesn't seem like an injury where the solution is he misses
a couple of weeks and then he's fine it seems like either.
It's just not. That's not how backs work in
general. That's what I'm saying.
Like I feel like either it's going to clear up soon or it's
we're scheduling you for surgery.
It's a Grand Slam or a. Requirement So like I don't I
don't see like a real middle outcome to the Stafford thing.
I guess the middle outcome would be he gets better, he plays most
of the year, he re aggravates. It well the the.
That's the middle outcome, yeah, yeah.
I feel like the middle outcome is he just is in like horrendous
pain all year. He just is like, he's like, he's
getting, he's, he's, he's doing the, the, the Brett Favre, you
know, taking taking crazy amounts of, of pain pills and
like not able to function without them.
Back pain's nerve pain though, man, that's not you don't really
play through that you. Can get injured.
I can say to put myself in Matthew Stafford's shoes here
earlier this summer, I was playing beach volleyball and I
like kind of land weird. And my back just like starts
hurting. I'm like, this isn't great.
And then I get home. I like lie down.
And when I get up, like it was still hurting.
I didn't realize how much rest I couldn't stand.
Like I was like hunchback of Notre Dame.
And I was like, that's fine. I'm going to take some like
extra strength to leave and I'm going to go to my friend's
birthday party. And then I like went and I was
like hunched over like this whole time.
And then I like got my friend to give me a massage.
I took more pain pills and what ended up what happening was I
just like passed out from the pain and vomited in her toilet
and I didn't go out dancing and then I couldn't move for like 2
days. So that's the unfortunate
reality of back pain. Like I don't think you can like
grit through it in the way you can.
I've also herniated disc. It sucks.
I could not walk. I like had to hobble down.
I went down. You know, I might.
Luckily it wasn't all that serious.
I did some physical therapy. You're good.
But like. I don't know what you young guys
with your back stuff. Yeah, I was cleaning the house
and I and I slipped the disc because it's quite so dumb.
But yeah. But I don't know.
I guess what the question is to me is how seriously in pain is
he? Is he feeling like some
discomfort? And they're basically like,
here's the optimistic case. I would say he's in some
discomfort. It's a back.
You don't mess with his back if he's not ready, there's no point
in having him risk re injury now he he knows the offense inside
and out. Like just just wait until the
very last second for him to actually get out there and play
real football so that you don't ruin an entire season by
creating a really bad injury. He doesn't have a really bad
injury now, but it's just he can't quite get over the hump to
feel like, OK, I'm I'm back to being at 100% and they're just
being correctly cautious with it.
I think you that case is getting harder and harder to make, but I
that would be the optimistic case I think.
Yes. An incredible comment, by the
way, that I want you to pull up, which was this is how Luigi
Mangioni started too. It is it is Speaking of of left
wing slappies is now I don't know is there a Bouchard is
there Smith? Something you can work with on
that like that for you. Is there a Brashard Smith slide?
I I don't know. I didn't.
See, we have. All the slides.
We have three, we have three more going forward.
Our followers. Yeah, Zach did a lot for us here
today and we should RIP through these.
But starting with running back, these are notes, yes, So.
Kansas City is on here. I want to, I want to do this.
This is an example of drafting like water.
Brashard Smith is not going to be active for the Chiefs at the
beginning of the season. Point blank, it's not happening
now. Does that mean he's?
AI thought he's a kick returner. Nico Remigio's going to do it.
Won't. They they're used to now.
May, I don't know, do you do you make Carson Steel your fullback
inactive for your second kick returner?
Make him maybe not even on the roster would be my suggestion.
I don't know, man, that. They could Carson steal a roster
spot for Mr. Smith. You know what?
I guess. I guess maybe.
I'm Elijah Mitchell's getting cut.
Bro, so that that is so that's what I wanted to talk about was
the the Mitchell coming in the game with not even Minshew with
I actually don't even know who the chiefs third string
quarterback is. If you think.
Shell still or is that? No, no, he's he's, he's got.
It's Bailey's appy. It's Bailey's appy, so he came
in with zappy after minshew was done after Carson Steele, which
is like, oh, they did it in order of seniority on the team.
I I don't know, man, coming in the coming in the game for the
chiefs, who notoriously like hate like they're almost kind of
Ram's esque about the pre season and how they use it that it's
actually pretty easy to interpret.
I thought, by the way, Jason Brownlee.
Yeah, right. It's, it's what I'll say is it's
over for Sky Moore. Sky Moore's getting cut.
Right, which is good for Smith because Sky Moore is also one of
the potential second kick returners.
Yeah, I mean, it's actually, you know what it's not great for?
It's not great for Jalen Royals. Not that not that Royals is like
dead, but like the idea that the the Jalen Royals drum beat was
so insane that he was going to start over or start while Rashi
Rice is suspended. I I'm a little bit more bearish
on that. What I'm worried about with
Burchard Smith is that this idea that we have concocted, that he
is the passing down back to start the year, we're all trying
to find the guy who did this. To start the year would be the
part I push back on. It's that he can he.
Can earn the passing down roll. Over the year.
Of course they. Don't have a passing down back
on this roster otherwise unless they find someone buddy, they
probably will. They always do.
I think I think the unfortunate truth is that I I think this is
my guess right now. I think Kareem Hunt is going to
be the Samaj P, right? I think they're just going to
put his fat dotty out there and just say if you let Pat get hit,
we are snow tilted at you. But I mean, what is the other
interpretation of this? Or it's going?
To be I'm doing the John birthal.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's, it's, it's Hunt or it's Steele or Pacheco is being under
drafted by, you know, 30 picks or whatever.
It's it could be like someone who's on another roster.
It could be Antonio Gibson it. Could be Antonio Gibson.
Julio McLaughlin. It could be.
There's a lot of. Too small, too small.
They they don't do that, Yeah. That's true.
Yeah.
I like another fat piece of crap running back that's gonna get
caught from somewhere. I I think it's probably hunt
man. I do that's so.
Gross. What's the difference between
Smosh P Ryan and Kareem Hunt? What about Ekmosh P Ryan's more
left wing? Ekler don't get cut.
I don't think. We all, like have to snatch.
No, Ekler's not getting cut, Eko.
'S not yeah. Mcnichol, Mick weapon might get
caught. Mick Weapon.
Might you know what Mick Weapon is?
The Chiefs? Could be.
He could be. What about Javonte Williams?
He could have that role. Well, Miles Sanders.
No, he it. Could be it, could it could it
could really be. It really could be.
Miles Sanders gets cut because because Phil Feel Moffa makes
the roster. Phil Moffa beating you out of
the end. You need to retire.
Do you guys get the, do you guys see the, the good, the quote
going around about Javonte today?
They asked, you know, they asked like, you know what, what does
Javonte offer? And the coach was like, you
know, he's really, he's really, he's got a lot of wisdom.
He's sagacious, you know, offers a lot of experience.
Like it's just like, and that's the same thing they said about
Miles Sanders. Like, it's just, it's so bear.
Like it's so bearish. And yet you won't take Jaden
Blue. How to Take Bigsby Davis, Why
are you so low on Jaden Blue? I I take plenty of Jaden Blue.
I was the one who had to tell you about like I was the one who
had to convince you to take Jaden Blue.
Yeah. But then, then, now, now you're
drafting Keenan Allen. You got so much Keenan Allen.
I'm just I, I'm a rational, reasonable market participant.
You got you got blue balls. I, I just like I, I will say in
my personal, in my, in my personal play, I have been
selecting Burchard Smith at a far less far, far lower
frequency. Davis, the market, I lowered him
a bit. I lowered him a bit.
But I I still think the Pershard Smith thing we got excited
about, you know, maybe he's got a path to just being the third
down back out of the gate. And then it's like, oh, he's not
going to be the third. Down back, back to to reality,
which was it was always something that was going to come
on. Over the yeah but but the the
reality now is like, Oh well, he's not the third down back out
of the gate and now like he's he's going undrafted again a
bunch. But Mitchell has the stuff on
Mitchell has been consistently bearish.
So he reported saying that like he does not look like the guy,
you know, when he was actually fast and.
He's getting cut. He's getting cut.
So we're talking about Smith
making this roster as a kick returner.
I think being active is is the kick returner on game day would
be my would be. My guess is you know, since
they're going to have two. What if they stuck Kareem Hunt
back there? How offended would you be that?
'D be pretty offended. I'd be more offended than if
him. And then the other thing is, OK,
Kareem hunts their passing down back for week 1 and two and
three, great. You're telling me I've got the
Rook. The rookie made the roster.
He's active as a kick returner. You're going to you're going to
be seeing him on Sundays and you're also going to be seeing
Kareem hunt and just how washed he is.
That's a that's a nice path for me if I'm betting on a guy to
get more work over the course of the season.
Pacheco's looked better than I was kind of hoping you would as
as a Smith drafter. So I think that's, you know,
that hurts Smith too. But I don't know, I guess the
panic on Smith or like the, you know, he's now he's now falling
completely out of drafts. Like if I don't take him on the
18th, no one will, you know, And that's where I'm like, I don't
know, it's the chiefs passing down back that that has a lot of
upside on its own. I don't necessarily need it it
it could be more than that, but well, it used to until they
started playing a bunch of dust balls there.
But Smith has got a lot of juice.
I didn't know the. Kareem Hunt of the Passing down
back is the type of thing that will make me not want to write
the Hitchhiker's Guide to running back.
Like I I don't want to go to my laptop on a Monday morning and
be like Kareem Hunt ran 38% of the routes this week.
Like that is not. Caught 2 passes for 0 yards.
Yeah, yeah. Well, look, I mean, you had dead
legs, McKinnon there, you got, you got P Ryan there.
He's washed. Like, yeah, of course, of course
there's not that much value. But if anything it should have
more value given the current construction of of the team
because they they pass short constantly.
The kickoff thing should matter more than it's mattered in a
long time. I mean, everything is important
to NFL teams and who who was back there last year for the
last decade would have to them important.
But what I saw in week 1 was teams do not want the touchback
when they're kicking off. They they don't they don't want
you to start at the 35. I think the the tipping point
has been realized. I feel like there should be if
kickers can actually do it. I'll keep the short is line
drives that land, you know, on the green so to speak and can
they can get what they want that way, But probably easier said
than done. The Panthers had some strategy
where they were, I didn't actually see this, but I was, I
heard, I think Ollie Connolly was talking about how they were
like able to knuckleball, bounce it at the 8:00 and then it stays
in. That could be cool.
That's the point. And then you get a lot of
returns that way, by the way. Houston went, Houston went for
one in Minnesota and went out of bounds.
And that's only the 40. I mean, it's not so bad a gamble
if you can, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In the corner. That's a good point real quick,
The but we have like up rankings crew has surfaced the Mike Hall
game log from last year. He played in Week 6.
Jacob, what say there's only five games?
Yeah, yeah, one SEC victory for for for the Judkins argument.
Let's jump to. All I get is Dexter when I type
in Michael Hall. Let's jump to wide receivers.
We've got that. Two just developments from the
weekend. Travis Hunter, Marvin Mint, we
did that. Ibuka Coleman, Interesting.
Buffalo, No. Curtis Samuel Hurt again.
Cook didn't play, interesting. The coach asked him to play
McDermott and he declined. But he is practicing today, so
his Holden experience continues to go back and forth.
I thought a couple interesting notes here.
First being the end of the Spider Man meme pointing stuff
for the Colts. It is just going to be all Tyler
Warren. We're not going to have to care
about any of these other jabronis.
I've been saying that since the draft.
That has been very obvious. Well, Jacob, you're an
unreliable narrator. The same way no one should
listen to me about the Chiefs running back three, I'm just
going to consider you an unreliable narrator here.
You're too close to the situation.
Did. More than.
Just very reliable narrate on the Colts.
You're actually pretty reliable on the Colts.
You are. You are, yeah.
Warren did not just. Yeah, because I'm like
emotionally scarred, but I feel like the the Tyler Warren thing,
like could not have been more obvious.
Like the whole team was like, look, we've been, we've been
doing this bad thing and we're going to stop.
You another thing that I predict is a potential extinction event
for left wing slappies. You you guys got to get woke to
Calvin Ridley, man Calvin Ridley is is going to put up like kind
of an all time. Obviously he's not this good,
but like an Andre Johnson. So he's in just like the worst,
foulest stench on offense. But every time you look up he
has eight for 80 and like a 62% chance of a touchdown in a given
game 'cause. I would what I would suggest to
to left wing slap is is like me. It's kind of like a, like a, you
know, the new, the launch of a new right wing cryptocurrency.
You, you get in on the ground floor and draft the big board
Calvin Ridley shares when he was going in the 6th and 7th round.
And now we'll, we'll sell, we'll sell them to the slappies as
they come running through the doors.
Now that that's where my Calvin Ridley, I have a bag from the
big board. Not so much now.
He's still, he's still a really good pick.
Now Calvin Ridley or Terry Mclaurin.
Terry Mclaurin. Ridley, Calvin Ridley, or Calvin
Ridley or Jamison Williams. Jameson Williams.
It is Jameson Williams, but I think I think the rational
answer is, is Calvin Ridley. How about, how about this?
You want to get you want to get woke?
Calvin Ridley or Marvin Harrison Junior.
Marvin Harrison, junior. Marvin Harrison Junior is the
answer. But if you if I had to bet
strictly on if I wasn't playing with fantasy football and the
bet was just who will score more fantasy points and I had to
spend $100 on one or the other, I would pick Calvin Ridley.
Yeah. Sure, but that's not the game
we're playing. It's just it's I look obviously.
That is the game that like 85% of.
Fantasy players, That's right, you're.
Right, more points equals a win. Calvin Calvin Ridley is a worse
pick than right wing slappies want him to be, and a better
pick than left wing slappies want him to be, so therefore
he's a perfect player for me, the centrist slappy.
Yeah, but it's like he doesn't go that much past Cortland
Sutton, you know, and rather just.
See, and and to me, and this, this is because of my, this is
because of my Mims baggage, my Mims priors.
But I I'm happy to take Calvin Ridley ahead of Coral and
Sutton. All right, that is interesting.
I mean, I don't take either of them so.
I guess there there's no one on the Titans roster who can earn
targets. No one.
They went full Boomer with the offense.
They went, they went. Van Jefferson, Alec.
A Humanor. I don't know.
We should be woke to him. He's he's not passed Van
Jefferson. Van Jefferson's an exit.
But he's getting, he's getting rave reviews in camp all the
time. He's got cool videos.
People love to say. And like he's the only, the only
guy ahead of him around Van Jefferson.
Like we're moving ahead. He's Canadian, Jake could be
trusted on this market. Am I an unreliable narrator on
Canadians? Does that, Yeah, you might be.
You might be because you just said you just said Ivan was
getting rave reviews in camp and then he was behind Van
Jefferson. I'm here in my city to get his
Ontario lacrosse bucket. Hats.
Yeah, I got out. I have.
Sources to say he forgot his helmet.
He left his home in Canada. Asking every time, every take I
get wrong this entire offseason, I'm just going to be like, lucky
he forgot it though. He very got.
His helmet, some nice moments. Smith not make the team?
Well, he he left his helmet away from Kansas City.
He had to hop on a plane to go get it.
When he got back, they'd already finalized the.
Roster Customs custom seized. His helmet custom seized.
Yeah, yeah. Some nice moments for a few
rookie quarterbacks. The action Dark looked good in
Buffalo. Tyler Shug up and down.
I guess that may be generous. Sanders, Nice night in Carolina,
and then Richardson, well, the injury.
Anthony Richardson, Day one install, they were saying.
Day one install they were saying Jacob.
It's like high school shit, man. Like, and I I can tell that I'm
not an unreliable narrator because my first reaction, which
I didn't delete because I'm a man of honor, was DJ Giddens
blew the chip lock. And then I watched it again.
And I was like, no, that that's not true.
Richardson just didn't read the hot.
Yeah. Like, that's one, where it's
just like the two things about Anthony Richardson that you'd
hate the most if you're a coach. It's like, 1, doesn't really
know how to play quarterback. And two, he's always injured.
And then he managed to injure himself by not knowing how to
play quarterback. And that's.
Just I love it. He's not good.
An accurate passer, probably. You know, we've seen in years
since Tim Tebow probably. And that wasn't on your list.
Yeah, and it's. Also covered by the 1st.
He's kind of covered by the first one.
Well, not knowing how to play quarterback and not being able
to play quarterback are different.
I guess right there are three major issues. 1 is that he can't
throw. 2 is that he can't play the position. 3 is that he's
never healthy or available. So it's not, but I'm tall good.
And I think especially bearish as the initial plan was
Richardson was going to start the first pre season game and
Jones was going to come in 2nd. And they broadcast that ahead of
time that then Jones would start the 2nd and Richardson would
come in second. Basically saying like this is
not going to be determined by performance in week 1.
This is the plan for week 1 and 2.
Don't read into it. And then Richardson gets hurt on
like snap three of the first pre season game.
And so I thought they might say, well look, Jones just got a full
half. We'll start Richardson again in
Week 2 because, you know, we got injured and they were like,
Nope, you missed your shot, you dingbat.
Like, don't get yourself hurt next time.
It's Jones anyway. So it's just, it's just not,
it's just not ideal if you're Anthony Richardson.
The one week of me being positive on Anthony Richardson
has ended. I'm back on back on the Daniel
Jones string. Jones does apparently lot not
look good though at all. So Daniel Jones.
Yeah, I still think Richardson. Who?
Kind of. Believe wins this job.
Really. I know.
I mean, I think he wins. Has it has it ever been more
certain that both quarterbacks play this season?
It's. Never been more certain.
The Saints. Nothing has ever been.
Maybe the Saints, although I'm not 100% sure.
Chuck plays so. No, no crazy, crazy response to
the way that Rattler and Chuck played in that game, Corrine.
I know. How did Jay Kaner look?
I was. I was tuned out by then.
I got to be honest. Chris Collinsworth has nothing
on Davis's slide back into the the the frame again, by the way.
Brilliant stuff. Here's here's a thought I had.
Why is Trey Lance not a Saint? Of all the teams that should
have moved for Trey Lance, what like I right now?
If I was the Saints straight up, I'd trade.
I'd trade a third round pick for Trey Lance right now.
I would trade Anthony Richardson in 1/5 for Trey Lance if I was
Chris Ballard, Yeah. Yeah.
You're writing your own. Go get the special ticket or.
Something Why did we not just draft shooter Sanders in like
the fourth round? Like what?
Like what were we doing? That's also that's also
embarrassing. I know, it's crazy.
Cause like shooter's not that good, but he's like probably
better than Daniel Jones or, or simply.
My like I, my therapy bill would be so much lower if we had
shooter Sanders on this team. Like I, I would just, I mean, I
have like some hope in my life something.
With that, let's move to last call.
Give Jacob something. Let's get some hope.
To to live to live for only a couple of weeks left here boys
picks that have AD PS of 200 or later.
If you guys are ready great. I am if you want me to go.
Go, Mike. I'll take, I'll take Rattler.
Wow do I not have Rattler? Bad move by me.
I mean odds. Odds he starts week 150% or
higher. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I guess. Yeah.
Week 1 does not count in this game.
No, that's right. I will select probably I'm Frank
in our layup. No, I'll select Jalen Naylor,
the clear wide receiver 3 for the Minnesota Vikings.
I have to handcuff Ty Felton, who I mistakenly thought would
potentially win that job. I I don't see him on the screen.
I'm pretty sure he's not been selected.
Oh really? Nailing.
I've never been more excited to make a pic of my entire life.
Actually. I need to stabilize my wide
receiver position desperately and this man is now at 200.7.
I will take Darius Slade. Yeah, come on.
That was, that was. Never say.
Two weeks in a row. I.
Literally was like the only player I could possibly want to
take right now is Darius Slayton I.
Just just crossed the 200 line. The Mendoza.
Yeah, there's someone who does not prep for this at all.
I now don't know it's. Hurting you.
It's starting. It's starting to become a
problem. There crane crane there is a
very Darius Slayton S pick. Do you want me to just give it
to? You wait.
No, there's someone I think that might not have been.
Oh, there is a really Darius Slayton S pick.
Who's Yeah? Tell me who the Darius Slayton
pick is. Yoshi Moss.
Oh mine was Noah Brown but same thing.
Yeah, God, that's so much less inspiring both of those than
than Darius Leighton did. Have we taken?
I was going to suggest Josh Reynolds, but he's already been
taken. Yeah.
Have we taken Calvin Austin? I'll do Calvin Austin.
He's available. Would Pete and I, I, I ask this
with the utmost respect. Would he read all these names
out? Like would he read out loud for
the for the listeners? Would he the.
Final week, The final week, we read them all.
Final week. You read them, Yes.
He's fast. I mean he could probably do it
all in one minute, but wonder if he would go that far.
These are These are. Like sad.
These are like the saddest names of fantasy football.
Too there's like. I might not.
I might not have one active running back.
Ty Johnson might be my Week 17 running back.
What's up Jackson? Dart plays.
I'm I'm so. So upset still that Pat swite me
on Jalen Coker. I can't believe we haven't done
20 minutes on Jalen Coker this episode.
But like I think the Panthers are have finally finally gotten
woke to the cokeheads. I mean, big beat writer talking
about how he was potentially going to get caught.
Every single one of them should be fired.
I'm calling for the heads of every single Carolina Panthers
beat writer. That was ridiculous.
And then finally we have after they asked Canalis about Coker
after the preseason game in which Xavier Lagett got ejected
for getting into a fistfight instantly.
And then Jalen Coker looked like an absolute baller.
And then they asked if they were like, will Coker have a chance
of playing as a starting wide receiver?
And can also like, I'm going to play the three guys who are most
reliable regardless of pedigree. So like, it's, it's, it's
happening. We're moving, we're moving
forward. Like he's going to play the guys
who are most reliable after Xavier Leget proved to be
unreliable by getting himself ejected for fist fighting.
So let's let's go Coker. Over yeah, him.
Him coming in as the direct replacement for Leget was super
bullish and then he obviously played well.
If he can go through like get and they're open to like get,
you know, as their first round pick last year, immediately
getting benched in their second year, like I didn't think they
were open to that. If they're open to that, that
changes my opinion. I I was nervous on Coker because
I thought he was going to have to go through the slot.
If he's got the potential, just be a starting outside wide
receiver that that's pretty meaningfully different.
And that's, that's got to. Be him on my last call team.
And that's got to be feeling over Renfro in that.
Context for Renfro? Dude that is like a packed
terrain. Fucking false flag operation.
No, Renfro was. No Renfro's having a good camp.
He's he got. See, that's, that's how I can
tell. That's how I can tell Jacob is a
spreadsheet socialist, because anyone who watches Ball and
knows Ball knows that Renfro is you'll have you'll have
defensive backs who are like God, I forget the name.
Yeah, there's a podcast where they they call it Hunter
Renfro's like 1 of. The you they were like, oh, that
dude's the 4th best route runner in the NFL.
Yeah, that was like back in like 2013, Like the the utility
outfielder Hunter Renfro has been relevant more recently than
the wide receiver Hunter Renfro. He won a national.
Championship. Trevor Lawrence.
He turns 30 in December. All right, let's.
Oh my God, where's Gretsch? Can we get Gretsch on the horn
here? I need I need some.
People he's, he's like a, he's like a young Keenan Allen. 1000
yards in 2021. Hunter Renfro has a a top 10.
Younger like last year, I mean. Three years ago, I'm bored.
Now seriously though, if you are Xavier league it and you were
like a probably bad player who is only a starting wide
receiver, let's just be honest because you were drafted in the
first round and you were to say like, what is the thing you
shouldn't do to jeopardize this? Particular.
Position it would be like immediately get into a brawl on
the field and get ejected like that would be high on my list of
things I wouldn't recommend. What do you think?
Do you think the guy was like, you're about to get Bentford
Jalen Coker, bro. And he's like, yeah, probably
got ejected. Actually he was like leg up,
just moved you down to pick 182 and then.
I haven't seen you once. You don't even exist to me when
I play baseball. Yeah, you're not in my queue,
bro. Calvin Ridley.
Calvin Ridley not in Jacob's queue.
Renfro not in his queue. DJ Mark.
Calvin Ridley has gotten into my queue.
He's entered my queue. OK all.
Right. Calvin Ridley.
Yeah, I will take Ridley into the right circumstances.
I need a couple running backs. I need to be like, I could
really use a receiver who's going to play.
But he's got he's got some utility.
I don't, I don't see the point of like Ridley's not going to be
the guy who you need this year. I don't think it's.
I guess it's possible if Ward is like the absolute.
Truth. What if Ward is just?
What if Ward is CJ Stroud? Well, that would be sweet.
Yeah. My issue with my issue with
Ridley is not really with Ridley.
It's just like he unfortunately goes at one of the spots in the
draft where I have the most other players I like.
I'll be honest, I would actually draft more Calvin Ridley.
And I know this makes no sense, but if Calvin Ridley ADP was 38,
I would draft more Calvin Ridley.
But like, I just find like I find everyone in that range so
unappealing. But then I get to that five,
like that fifth round area and it's like Trevion's there and
Hunter's there and Waddle's there and picking sometimes and
Walker and Heart. Like it's just all of the guys
that I want the most. And Ridley's rarely the one that
I want the most out of all of. Them a lava?
You're still on a lava too, right?
Yeah, he goes later. So he's.
Not you can get him in a 6/6. But I definitely like a lava in.
Jacob, are you a Shaheed bro? No, I mean, I'm I'm less like
maybe anti Shaheed than some of your other compatriots, but I'm
far more to the peat and pat side than than you and your camo
shirt when it comes to Rasheed. You'd be proud of me though.
Not only have I capitulated begrudgingly on Matthew Golden,
but I had to like force Ron and Liam to take Matthew Golden on
our main event stream. And and I felt like an out of
body experience that I was like, it was Matthew Golden or Mark
Andrews is our second tight end. And I was like dragging them to
Matthew Golden. Things we're looking up between
Jacob and Davis with the Ridley comments, but then back the
other way on Shaheed and that's how it'll have to end for today.
He won. He won me back by putting away a
spreadsheet and just only caring about fantasy points.
Good, we got we got somewhere all.
Right. We famously also recorded on a
spreadsheet. Wait.
Wait wait wait 3 seconds before we end here.
People are saying ETN just got traded.
Wait, what? For real.
He didn't. He didn't.
No, no, they're they're OK. Everyone's lying.
Jesus Christ.
It's all I've seen is that apparently Travis Etienne was
supposed to speak at a press conference today and then
didn't, and people are interpreting that as though a
trade has been agreed to when that seems incredibly unlikely.
I think it's more. I think it's actually more
likely that he forgot his helmet.
That I would disagree with. OK, so then Tank tweeted after
ETN no showed well, so that's. 12 queasy emojis, one lying face
emoji. Wait what?
Oh, I've seen this. So like, that could mean that
Tank Bigsby has been traded. That could mean that ETN has
been traded. That could mean that Tank Bigsby
like had a bad experience at Chipotle.
There was there was a fight at practice also.
It's an hour ago. This tweet from Bigsby.
It's an hour ago. Weren't they still practicing an
hour ago? Yeah, guys, what if we like,
what if we just stand there? This is we're just spreading
misinformation at this point. No, we're actually providing.
We're providing the full color and.
Context actually, do you guys have any thoughts on Jordan Love
the. Context Ligament.
Expected to be ready for Week 1. It's on his non, it's on his non
throwing hand and he's coming up, He's practicing next week
ever. That is a true come up for air
situation. Jacori Karoski merit status
change to questionable. Let's get out of here.
I was. Think Bigsby tweeting while the
practice was ongoing is probably the best reason.
That's pretty bearish, actually. Yeah, that's not ideal.
It's. Pretty bearish.
Who knows? Pat, Pat, what's next?
For you George Pickens, and I'm going to have that out today.
I've also written up Crystal Love, a written up Jerry Judy
I'm and all the rest of the mid round wide receivers I'm rolling
out over on legendary upside is looking for the breakout from
this year's mid rounds. Yeah, so check those out on
Legendary upside. Check out the Sidekick at
legendaryupside.com/sidekick. Sidekick Subs are eligible for a
$20 DraftKings bonus ticket as well.
So yeah, if you're looking to get in that last volume,
extremely helpful to have a sidekick.
Davis. Swell cast right after this.
Literally, literally 2 minutes. So see you guys all there.
Jacob. Yeah, I got two articles up on
Think about thinking 1 is Fantasy Analysis.
That's on the specifically Gibbs, Dijon and Barkley and who
I think should be the RB one this year.
And then the other one is not fantasy analysis, it's a
complete joke post about the political slaps.
This I can tell you that the latter got substantially more
engagement and views. Yeah, many such cases.
Yes, we'll talk about that. But I will have every other
running back written up within the next two to three weeks,
including, I would say, reasonably confident by the end
of the night, the one on McCaffrey A Chan and Gentie will
be up. Catch me on the Odyssey app WGR
in Buffalo weekdays 3 to 7 and catch us next Monday night 7:00
Eastern for our main event draft.
We will not be here next Tuesday.
Thank you everybody for watching and listening and so long.
