1
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,239
It's we too. 
We have literally doubled our 

2
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,400
sample size. 
All of our charts are twice as 

3
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,280
actionable. 
Our takeaways are twice as 

4
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,240
accurate. 
This is stat chasing. 

5
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,520
Oh my God, I'm so sorry. 
Roll me in. 

6
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,080
Pat Fryer homo this. 
Is why This is why I'm hot 

7
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,520
Anita. 
Hand job fix your site. 

8
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:48,680
Jamar and also play Chase. 
You can't handle the heat. 

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,560
It looks like we're. 
Finally, at this point, you're 

10
00:00:50,560 --> 00:01:00,860
right. 
Just like NFL offenses in Week 

11
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:02,820
One, are you? 
Were too quick. 

12
00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:07,100
Yeah, we knew I was. 
Sharing that we were going live 

13
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:11,180
everywhere and then as soon as I
finish, I'm like, shit, I gotta 

14
00:01:11,180 --> 00:01:12,540
do that. 
I gotta roll the clip. 

15
00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:16,540
Well, I just saw we're live and 
I was like, all right, I guess 

16
00:01:16,540 --> 00:01:19,100
we're going. 
But hey, welcome to week two, 

17
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:21,100
everybody. 
Thank you for joining us. 

18
00:01:22,370 --> 00:01:25,850
We've got some real fun charts 
here that will be taking you 

19
00:01:25,850 --> 00:01:29,130
through this week. 
We're going to try not to go for

20
00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:31,730
a full 2 1/2 push in three 
hours. 

21
00:01:31,770 --> 00:01:34,330
I think we're the goal is a 
tight 90. 

22
00:01:34,810 --> 00:01:37,730
So we've we've done our 
homework, we've prepped up. 

23
00:01:38,330 --> 00:01:41,970
Drico and I are ready to take 
you through all of these charts,

24
00:01:42,050 --> 00:01:45,570
pointing out the most relevant 
pieces of data and trying to 

25
00:01:45,570 --> 00:01:48,570
give you some actual takeaways 
for your leagues. 

26
00:01:50,030 --> 00:01:52,830
And without further ado, let's 
let's go ahead and dive into 

27
00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:57,830
those. 
Charts yeah let's let's oh and 

28
00:01:57,950 --> 00:02:04,070
present there we go and so yeah 
at just just to intro everybody 

29
00:02:04,070 --> 00:02:07,430
to this at quarterback chart 
that we're talking about here 

30
00:02:07,870 --> 00:02:13,630
and this is it scales adjusted 
yards per attempt which it's 

31
00:02:13,630 --> 00:02:18,110
like yards per attempt throwing 
and but it rewards touchdowns 

32
00:02:18,110 --> 00:02:22,190
and it punishes interceptions. 
And and actually some it does 

33
00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:28,150
that roughly on the, on the 
scale of I believe win 

34
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:31,030
probability. 
It tries to like it tries to 

35
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:37,510
scale that to to win probability
and for attempt and then on the 

36
00:02:37,510 --> 00:02:39,670
other access we have a touchdown
rate. 

37
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:43,630
And so really you've got it on 
the right hand side. 

38
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:46,070
You've got the the quarterbacks 
who've been thrown really, 

39
00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:49,570
really efficiently. 
And then we also have on the 

40
00:02:49,570 --> 00:02:53,690
vertical axis touchdown rate. 
And so you can see sort of 

41
00:02:53,690 --> 00:02:58,770
quarterbacks who have either 
they've thrown for lots of 

42
00:02:58,770 --> 00:03:02,810
touchdowns and possibly more 
touchdowns than their yardage 

43
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:08,170
and sort of like warrants. 
And then you have a quarterbacks

44
00:03:08,170 --> 00:03:13,370
who've thrown efficiently and 
perhaps thrown less touchdowns. 

45
00:03:13,820 --> 00:03:18,420
Than than you would expect given
their yardage toes and and so 

46
00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:22,380
those quarterbacks I guess 
possible possible upward 

47
00:03:22,380 --> 00:03:27,420
regression candidates yeah good 
good summary here. 

48
00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:30,580
I I just had a thought. 
I really hadn't compared these 

49
00:03:30,580 --> 00:03:34,060
two stats before I looked at how
they're calculated in comparison

50
00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:36,380
but for adjusted yards per 
attempt that's going to be like 

51
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:38,580
directionally the same as EPA 
right? 

52
00:03:38,580 --> 00:03:41,360
Like something that's a positive
adjusted yards for a template is

53
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,880
going to be a positive EPA. 
Yeah. 

54
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,920
Yeah, you're right. 
I said win probability, it's EPA

55
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,120
and it does it roughly. 
Yeah, roughly with the same 

56
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,800
waiting. 
Like obviously it can't do 

57
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,480
everything because it's a more 
straightforward adjustment than 

58
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,240
EPA, which knows where they are 
on the fields. 

59
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,400
But it's sort of trying to 
translate EPA per attempt into a

60
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,360
yardage number to kind of make 
it more easier. 

61
00:04:08,870 --> 00:04:09,910
Comprehend. 
Easy. 

62
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:12,150
More intuitive. 
OK, good. 

63
00:04:12,310 --> 00:04:15,870
Good explanation there. 
When I when I first put this 

64
00:04:15,870 --> 00:04:19,149
chart together, there were a 
couple guys that stood out to 

65
00:04:19,149 --> 00:04:22,310
me. 
I'm gonna start with guys that 

66
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:26,750
are popping really well on the 
chart where they they have to 

67
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:29,390
come back down to earth, right? 
And the first one that's like 

68
00:04:29,390 --> 00:04:32,590
clear as day is Jordan Love. 
I mean, he's been super 

69
00:04:32,590 --> 00:04:34,870
efficient. 
He's thrown 3 touchdowns each 

70
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:39,690
game, but he is not throwing 
enough yards or enough pass 

71
00:04:39,690 --> 00:04:43,450
attempts for this to be 
sustainable at all, right? 

72
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:45,570
They've just been really 
efficient. 

73
00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:50,650
So I don't think this, you know,
nearly 12%, I think it's like 

74
00:04:50,650 --> 00:04:54,730
11, 1/2% touchdown rate is going
to stick for Jordan Love. 

75
00:04:55,610 --> 00:04:58,290
That being said, when you see 
these guys with this crazy 

76
00:04:58,290 --> 00:05:03,010
efficiency, this is something I 
would say that Jordan Love is 

77
00:05:03,010 --> 00:05:07,450
going to finish the season very 
close to Brock Purdy and like 

78
00:05:07,450 --> 00:05:10,010
what they are for fantasy, 
right. 

79
00:05:10,010 --> 00:05:11,970
I think that Brock Purdy comes 
up a little bit. 

80
00:05:11,970 --> 00:05:14,570
I think Jordan Love comes down a
little bit and they kind of meet

81
00:05:14,570 --> 00:05:17,250
in the middle because they both 
are are just going to be in 

82
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:21,250
offenses that are more efficient
than they should be just because

83
00:05:21,250 --> 00:05:23,170
of you know, good, good 
scheming. 

84
00:05:24,370 --> 00:05:26,730
But that was that was the first 
one I saw. 

85
00:05:26,730 --> 00:05:30,050
Did you have any other guys in 
the good take away category that

86
00:05:30,050 --> 00:05:32,250
you wanted to touch on Drico 
and? 

87
00:05:33,030 --> 00:05:36,910
Yeah I mean obviously I think 
the most obvious one is is your 

88
00:05:36,910 --> 00:05:41,590
boy CJ Stroud where you you you 
called I think you called last 

89
00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:46,390
week that he's gonna win 
somebody a million maker and for

90
00:05:46,470 --> 00:05:49,630
I think for a rookie to come out
in the first two games and to be

91
00:05:49,630 --> 00:05:52,950
on the right hand side of the 
chart even though the touchdowns

92
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:56,790
aren't there has I I mean that 
looks super positive super 

93
00:05:56,790 --> 00:06:02,150
bullish where and if he if he's 
trying for good yardage and. 

94
00:06:02,650 --> 00:06:06,130
The touchdown rate is low on on 
that sort of like a lowish 

95
00:06:06,130 --> 00:06:10,610
sample size and again it's first
two NFL games that that seems 

96
00:06:10,610 --> 00:06:15,770
super bullish for CJ both CJ 
Stroud and and the receivers in 

97
00:06:15,770 --> 00:06:19,690
that in that offense. 
Yeah, I mean CJ Stroud is fourth

98
00:06:19,690 --> 00:06:23,650
in the league in total passing 
yards right now so he's he's 

99
00:06:23,650 --> 00:06:26,370
kind of cooking and they're 
they're letting him throw. 

100
00:06:26,450 --> 00:06:31,350
He has 91 attempts, so the 
Houston is not hiding their 

101
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:34,630
rookie quarterback. 
Where on the other side of the 

102
00:06:34,630 --> 00:06:37,430
coin you have Bryce Young, you 
can look at him. 

103
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:42,110
He, he and Danny Dimes kind of 
swapped positions on where they 

104
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:46,550
were on the chart last week. 
Bryce Young does not look like 

105
00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:49,270
someone you want to have on any 
basketball teams. 

106
00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:52,150
Doesn't look like someone that 
you want to play in fantasy you.

107
00:06:53,090 --> 00:06:55,690
I mean for the foreseeable 
future you don't really want to 

108
00:06:55,690 --> 00:06:58,930
touch the Caroline offense. 
It's not going to produce very 

109
00:06:58,930 --> 00:07:00,210
much. 
They're they're not letting him 

110
00:07:00,210 --> 00:07:03,410
do very much and they just don't
look like a terribly productive 

111
00:07:03,410 --> 00:07:05,730
offense. 
So that one's a stay away. 

112
00:07:05,730 --> 00:07:09,890
But really interesting to me, 
how drastically different those 

113
00:07:09,890 --> 00:07:12,890
two rookies are looking for 
fantasy. 

114
00:07:13,610 --> 00:07:17,790
Especially because I I think 
that at the, you know, during 

115
00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:20,350
the offseason people might have 
even flipped that around and 

116
00:07:20,350 --> 00:07:23,190
said they have higher hopes for 
Bryce Young and CJ Stroud. 

117
00:07:23,750 --> 00:07:28,870
I was I I was a little bit more 
positive on Bryce Young than 

118
00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:34,070
Stroud and mainly because I 
thought Young is a bit more of a

119
00:07:34,070 --> 00:07:37,030
threat as a rusher and and he 
has. 

120
00:07:37,150 --> 00:07:41,990
He has added some points with 
his legs but just not not nearly

121
00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:45,950
enough with how anemic and he's 
in and I think. 

122
00:07:46,510 --> 00:07:50,590
Honestly, at this point and then
I'm just saying he needs to run 

123
00:07:50,590 --> 00:07:55,190
a lot to to produce is is it? 
It does seem like the only kind 

124
00:07:55,190 --> 00:07:59,350
of clear cut way for him to be a
productive honesty starter. 

125
00:08:00,950 --> 00:08:04,750
Guys I wanted to touch on that 
moved in the right direction 

126
00:08:04,870 --> 00:08:07,350
this last week. 
Gino Smith. 

127
00:08:07,390 --> 00:08:10,750
I don't think anyone was all 
terribly concerned after a poor 

128
00:08:10,750 --> 00:08:13,030
week 1 showing from Gino. 
He kind of got back on the 

129
00:08:13,030 --> 00:08:16,500
horse. 
I played a lot of Gino and GPP's

130
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:19,020
this week and it it went pretty 
well for me. 

131
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:20,500
Needed to have them with Locket 
though. 

132
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:25,260
Other guys that are right next 
to Gino on the chart that were 

133
00:08:25,260 --> 00:08:28,460
part of that whole late round 
quarterback thesis for this 

134
00:08:28,460 --> 00:08:31,740
offseason and best ball. 
Sam Howell and Desmond Ritter 

135
00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:35,460
both showed pretty much 
everything that you wanted to 

136
00:08:35,460 --> 00:08:38,380
see out of them if you were 
drafting them in best ball. 

137
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:43,549
Sam Howe, I think was 299 yards 
passing, which is just you 

138
00:08:43,549 --> 00:08:45,030
really, you really love to see 
that. 

139
00:08:45,710 --> 00:08:48,830
Both Ritter and Howell showed a 
little with their legs as well. 

140
00:08:48,830 --> 00:08:53,790
It's like week two was, hey, 
This is why we were drafting 

141
00:08:53,790 --> 00:08:56,790
these guys late and thought that
they were reasonable picks for 

142
00:08:56,790 --> 00:08:59,430
best ball. 
So that was super encouraging. 

143
00:08:59,430 --> 00:09:03,150
The other one that's near them 
on the chart that to me looks 

144
00:09:03,150 --> 00:09:06,830
like a potential eruption spot 
is Lamar Jackson. 

145
00:09:07,990 --> 00:09:11,870
I wanna, I wanna get ahead of 
this and say that Week 3 is the 

146
00:09:11,870 --> 00:09:15,030
Lamar Jackson explosion game. 
He does. 

147
00:09:15,270 --> 00:09:18,030
I, you know, if you look at 
Lamar's production profile 

148
00:09:18,030 --> 00:09:21,030
historically, he does this kind 
of stuff where he'll just have 

149
00:09:21,030 --> 00:09:23,230
some OK games. 
It's not like it was a bad game 

150
00:09:23,230 --> 00:09:28,030
for him this week by any means. 
But I I think that week three 

151
00:09:28,110 --> 00:09:32,470
against what is on paper, one of
the worst defenses in the league

152
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:34,590
in the Colts, and they've 
played, They've definitely 

153
00:09:34,590 --> 00:09:36,270
played better than they look on 
paper. 

154
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,520
But I think that if the Ravens 
really play to their full 

155
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,000
potential, you could get a huge 
week from Lamar here. 

156
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,760
And he also, you can see from 
the size of his data point here 

157
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,600
that he's still adding a lot 
with his legs, even though 

158
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,600
they're not calling designed 
rushes. 

159
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,560
And that's honestly, that's what
I want. 

160
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,080
Because what he's doing when 
he's scrambling is he's taking 

161
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,590
place where otherwise there's 
not a ton to be had there 

162
00:10:00,590 --> 00:10:04,310
throwing the ball and he's 
creating where, you know, a less

163
00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:06,510
mobile quarterback might just 
have to toss it away. 

164
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:10,750
You're really this type of 
scheme for Lamar can give you 

165
00:10:10,750 --> 00:10:13,390
the best of both worlds and 
really maximizes overall 

166
00:10:13,390 --> 00:10:16,950
production. 
So Lamar is my my Early Flag 

167
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:20,230
plant for Week 3. 
So when we're we're, we're 

168
00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:22,910
beating a slow cast to the 
punch. 

169
00:10:23,550 --> 00:10:26,720
Stop chasing. 
Is the first look stroke the 

170
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,840
earliest first look show in the 
industry for DFS Takes Lamar 

171
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,040
Jackson for million Maker 
confirmed the. 

172
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,160
One note, sorry, just before we 
go too much on one note on that 

173
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,720
Jordan Love, who we touched on 
earlier and I just I just did 

174
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,800
the mat and if you remove his 
touchdowns and he just look at 

175
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,040
straight yards, pretend for 
Jordan Love he'd be out of 

176
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,510
seven. 
So honestly that's still seems 

177
00:10:55,510 --> 00:11:01,350
like positive like definitely 
like he he's not a bad passer 

178
00:11:01,790 --> 00:11:07,910
but clearly not it doesn't seem 
like a God tier like you know 

179
00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:12,030
he's gonna eviscerate the air at
all season player that's that's 

180
00:11:12,030 --> 00:11:16,230
really good context for the data
and that that seems consistent 

181
00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:20,010
with how I feel he's gonna end 
up on the season. 

182
00:11:20,010 --> 00:11:22,490
Him and Perdy will be right in 
right in that same range. 

183
00:11:22,530 --> 00:11:26,370
You know bottom bottom end QV 
ones on their good weeks and you

184
00:11:26,370 --> 00:11:30,130
know serviceable QV twos. 
The other thing though, with 

185
00:11:30,130 --> 00:11:33,850
Jordan Love, just a wart to add 
to that profile, the attempts 

186
00:11:33,850 --> 00:11:36,730
are really low. 
Both both weeks the attempts are

187
00:11:36,730 --> 00:11:38,530
low. 
Same with Perry, the attempts 

188
00:11:38,530 --> 00:11:42,610
are. 30 and 27, which yeah, for 
fantasy production. 

189
00:11:42,610 --> 00:11:47,480
For overall production. 
It's not great especially. 

190
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:54,000
Yeah, I mean, maybe some of that
is them having a lead and, but 

191
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,440
it's still like it does feel 
very 49 and quarterback esque. 

192
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,920
Yeah. 
Can you talk me out of Russell 

193
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,820
Wilson? 
Because Russ has looked pretty 

194
00:12:06,820 --> 00:12:10,220
productive for fantasy. 
I from the bit of rust that I 

195
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:13,420
watched he he doesn't look 
fantastic. 

196
00:12:13,420 --> 00:12:15,860
He's not a world beater, but he 
still does rust things. 

197
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:19,700
You know that play action shot 
to Nims or is like yeah this is,

198
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:23,180
I mean Sean Payton's always done
a really good job of getting the

199
00:12:23,420 --> 00:12:25,980
the best out of his players and 
playing to their strengths. 

200
00:12:26,420 --> 00:12:28,100
That is the Russell Wilson 
strength. 

201
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:31,540
Like let him throw up the moon 
ball, like deep shot and just 

202
00:12:31,580 --> 00:12:34,220
absolutely drop it on a guy 50 
yards down the field. 

203
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,760
If you can have Russ do that in 
a couple spots a week, he's 

204
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:43,400
definitely viable for fantasy. 
Yeah, and I think definitely 

205
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,960
viable for fantasy and trying 
touchdowns. 

206
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,600
And obviously we're excited 
about Mims, him having a big day

207
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:57,240
despite only 6 snaps and 1. 
Russell Wilson is always a good 

208
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,800
note on on a caveat of this 
chart is that. 

209
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:06,000
It's per attempt so it's it. 
It's not per drop back so it's 

210
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:12,120
sort of like it wrote this chart
rewards and quarterbacks who 

211
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,040
will stand in the pocket and and
throw deep but then also take 

212
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,160
sacks. 
So I I should note that he he's 

213
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:28,200
taken 9 sacks this year on let's
say 8080 Dropbox and so. 

214
00:13:29,370 --> 00:13:31,930
That's that's only a small that 
that that that probably takes 

215
00:13:31,930 --> 00:13:38,130
them from like 88.1 to like 
closer to like let's say let's 

216
00:13:38,130 --> 00:13:44,810
call it just over 7 and so this 
this this is always a chart that

217
00:13:44,810 --> 00:13:49,570
like makes Russell Wilson look 
it's hot better than he is and 

218
00:13:49,810 --> 00:13:54,530
but when when you are targeting 
pocket passers you do want you 

219
00:13:54,530 --> 00:13:56,850
want guys who trophy. 
You want big plays? 

220
00:13:56,850 --> 00:14:00,680
You want touchdowns? 
So definitely I think when when 

221
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:03,600
you're getting, when you're 
getting cheap pocket pass or 

222
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,560
pricing for Russell Wilson you I
think you can win in a big way. 

223
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,000
I think though correct me if I'm
wrong we're not I I I wouldn't 

224
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,520
be high on on on like expensive 
Russell Wilson like actually 

225
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:22,680
when I expensive I'm talking 
like seventh round like that 

226
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,560
that that feels pretty gross. 
No I I think Russ was a great 

227
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,880
price this whole offseason. 
He yeah was he was going late 

228
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,640
because the the markets have 
gotten more efficient in best 

229
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,360
fall over the years. 
But I was I was actually just 

230
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,960
today I was taking some notes 
for an article I wanna write 

231
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,960
this next offseason on stuff 
that the market still is really 

232
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,240
stupid at. 
And one of those things is did 

233
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,760
you hurt me last year? 
If you hurt me last year, sorry,

234
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,240
you're just you're not going to 
get to an efficient price 

235
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,620
because I'm still snake bit. 
So that was one of the things 

236
00:14:55,620 --> 00:14:59,820
that I noted dovetailing off 
your sacks conversation from 

237
00:14:59,820 --> 00:15:02,580
Russell Wilson. 
Does that mean that Justin 

238
00:15:02,580 --> 00:15:05,580
Fields and Deshaun Watson are 
even worse than they look on 

239
00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:07,700
this chart? 
Because both of you guys love to

240
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:09,380
take sacks too. 
Yeah. 

241
00:15:09,940 --> 00:15:15,740
And anybody who holds the ball 
and take sacks and will that 

242
00:15:15,740 --> 00:15:18,140
will be even will be worse on 
this chart. 

243
00:15:18,140 --> 00:15:22,940
So it indicates OK and I mean I 
don't think it's like. 

244
00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:27,470
It's not quite fancy relevant, 
but it is relevant for the 

245
00:15:27,470 --> 00:15:31,230
receivers that you think. 
I'm getting one of the most 

246
00:15:31,230 --> 00:15:34,070
efficient quarterbacks in the 
league on a per attempt and it's

247
00:15:34,070 --> 00:15:37,590
like okay. 
Well per drop back it's maybe a 

248
00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:41,710
bit closer to average for the 
strong efficiency guys. 

249
00:15:42,650 --> 00:15:45,730
One one last one I wanted to 
point out before we go to the 

250
00:15:45,730 --> 00:15:49,090
next chart here. 
Matt Stafford is being punished 

251
00:15:49,090 --> 00:15:52,090
for his just he he ran poor on 
touchdowns. 

252
00:15:52,090 --> 00:15:55,650
Kyron Williams is vacuuming up 
touchdowns these first couple 

253
00:15:55,650 --> 00:15:58,410
weeks. 
If Matt Stafford throws a couple

254
00:15:58,410 --> 00:16:01,490
touchdowns he is going to look 
insane. 

255
00:16:02,330 --> 00:16:05,730
Especially I mean this chart. 
One of the I think we might need

256
00:16:05,730 --> 00:16:09,210
to add another QB chart for 
volume related stuff. 

257
00:16:09,370 --> 00:16:13,030
But one thing this chart does 
not pick up is the absolutely 

258
00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:16,190
absurd amount of volume. 
Matt Stafford has 93 pass 

259
00:16:16,190 --> 00:16:20,990
attempts through two games. 
You know, he CJ Stroud is right 

260
00:16:20,990 --> 00:16:23,230
behind him with 91. 
But you know, Stafford and 

261
00:16:23,230 --> 00:16:27,190
Stroud are just slinging it. 
So that's, you know, if if 

262
00:16:27,190 --> 00:16:29,710
you're going to play a pocket 
passer, a statue quarterback, 

263
00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:34,270
they need to be chucking it. 
And over 45 attempts a game is 

264
00:16:34,350 --> 00:16:36,430
is what you want from a guy like
Stafford. 

265
00:16:37,510 --> 00:16:40,190
Yeah, that that makes sense as 
well and. 

266
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:44,500
Yeah, and I I think, I think 
when you're talking about the 

267
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:49,220
pocket passers like they're 
they're a little bit more 

268
00:16:49,220 --> 00:16:53,740
volatile than than guys who have
consistent rushing production. 

269
00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:58,060
But they're they're single week 
ceilings can be really high 

270
00:16:58,060 --> 00:17:02,100
because if they have a really 
good week as a passer, it's it's

271
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:03,820
gone, it's they're going to 
score points. 

272
00:17:04,420 --> 00:17:06,980
So when you have those volatile 
players. 

273
00:17:07,630 --> 00:17:10,349
You definitely you you want the 
cheap, you want the cheap 

274
00:17:10,349 --> 00:17:12,829
prices. 
With them, you it gets a little 

275
00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:15,510
unless you tink their mahomes, 
it gets real. 

276
00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:18,150
I think it gets really tricky 
when you're paying up for that 

277
00:17:18,150 --> 00:17:22,349
sort of profile. 
Last sorry, I said last thing 

278
00:17:22,349 --> 00:17:25,390
with Stafford, last question, 
the Russell Wilson rushing. 

279
00:17:25,390 --> 00:17:27,710
He had like 54 rushing yards 
this week. 

280
00:17:28,069 --> 00:17:33,140
I know a lot of it came on one 
big scramble that he had, but 

281
00:17:33,140 --> 00:17:34,900
what? 
What do you make of that? 

282
00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:38,820
Is he going to have just a 
little bit more rushing, Not not

283
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:42,340
back to like old Russell Wilson 
when he was rushing for, you 

284
00:17:42,340 --> 00:17:46,060
know, 600 yards a season. 
But is that back in the in the 

285
00:17:46,060 --> 00:17:51,820
arsenal a little bit here? 
I mean it it's we we definitely 

286
00:17:51,820 --> 00:17:55,100
don't have the sample size to 
say it and if most of his it 

287
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:58,620
sounds like most of his rushing 
is from that one attempt and 

288
00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:01,240
but. 
If, if, if, if he could, if he's

289
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:06,080
still able to do 40 yard or 
whatever was rushing attempts, 

290
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,520
that's definitely interesting. 
Like I I don't recall Tom Brady 

291
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:14,160
or Peyton Manning ever having a 
40 yard rushing attempts so that

292
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,800
being that being in his arsenal 
at all is definitely 

293
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,840
interesting. 
And yeah, I I I agree with you. 

294
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,160
Like the the the, the days of 
old doesn't seem to be there, 

295
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,050
but. 
And if you have some probability

296
00:18:30,050 --> 00:18:34,730
of getting like adding like four
to five points from, like big 

297
00:18:34,730 --> 00:18:37,130
runs, like, that's super 
interesting. 

298
00:18:40,690 --> 00:18:42,090
All right. 
I think if we're gonna keep it 

299
00:18:42,090 --> 00:18:44,890
to a tight 90, we gotta get to 
the next chart here. 

300
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,800
And so whatever reason, this one
always is just a tiny bit too 

301
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,120
large. 
We're gonna need to zoom out 

302
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,440
just a bit. 
But this is our RB snaps and 

303
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,560
usage chart. 
What this chart is good at is 

304
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,000
it's telling us who's got 
specific roles on a team. 

305
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,120
And so, you know, reading from 
the top down, it's gonna be the 

306
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:07,840
guys that are on the field the 
most. 

307
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,680
We've got. 
Our yellow is the routes that 

308
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,640
they ran, green is the rush 
attempts, blue is the pass 

309
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,650
blocks. 
And then Gray is the run blocks 

310
00:19:18,090 --> 00:19:21,290
and I kind of look at as far as 
the colors, what's the most 

311
00:19:21,290 --> 00:19:23,890
desirable? 
Yellow, if they're actually 

312
00:19:23,890 --> 00:19:26,650
converting that into targets is 
really valuable. 

313
00:19:26,970 --> 00:19:31,050
Green is the next most valuable.
Blue is actually fine in my 

314
00:19:31,050 --> 00:19:32,850
book. 
If a guy's on the field pass 

315
00:19:32,850 --> 00:19:35,250
blocking it just means he's he's
probably going to be able to be 

316
00:19:35,250 --> 00:19:37,930
on the field more in passing 
situations which we want. 

317
00:19:38,370 --> 00:19:40,690
And then Gray is is not good. 
I don't. 

318
00:19:40,730 --> 00:19:43,490
I don't really want my guys to 
have a lot of Gray on their 

319
00:19:43,490 --> 00:19:46,610
chart. 
Well I mean we we want guys who 

320
00:19:46,610 --> 00:19:50,850
are on the field all the time 
either way and but I I think 

321
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:54,490
blue is interesting in that like
if if somebody is pass blocking 

322
00:19:54,490 --> 00:20:02,130
a lot it means they're trusted 
and and but yeah it obviously 

323
00:20:02,170 --> 00:20:06,970
they're not they're not snaps 
that can be converted into 

324
00:20:06,970 --> 00:20:11,170
points and then obviously this 
chart is it's on the scale of 

325
00:20:11,170 --> 00:20:16,380
percentages so. 
The more the more it's for 

326
00:20:16,380 --> 00:20:19,820
example, let's say Zack Moss 
that that's just shy. 

327
00:20:20,140 --> 00:20:26,580
That's about 3035% of his team 
of the offenses and plays where 

328
00:20:26,580 --> 00:20:32,020
Rush attempts for Zack Moss. 
So Zack, where is there anybody 

329
00:20:32,020 --> 00:20:35,660
here who who's kind of a 
surprise to you or? 

330
00:20:37,050 --> 00:20:39,930
I it shouldn't be a surprise 
after last week but Kyron 

331
00:20:39,930 --> 00:20:42,850
Williams has an absolutely elite
role. 

332
00:20:43,770 --> 00:20:48,090
You know he he's not just from 
measurable standpoint. 

333
00:20:48,090 --> 00:20:53,010
He's not particularly talented. 
He he doesn't look you know so 

334
00:20:53,010 --> 00:20:55,490
so he he looks fine. 
He looks totally serviceable in 

335
00:20:55,490 --> 00:20:58,730
the field but the role is so 
good that it literally doesn't 

336
00:20:58,730 --> 00:21:00,370
matter. 
He's just going to. 

337
00:21:01,290 --> 00:21:04,370
He will be out there scoring 
fantasy points for you. 

338
00:21:05,170 --> 00:21:10,730
The one that I noticed as well, 
that was a guy didn't put up a 

339
00:21:10,730 --> 00:21:14,290
great fantasy stat line, but 
Josh Jacobs usage is still 

340
00:21:14,290 --> 00:21:16,730
really good. 
He'll show up on the next chart 

341
00:21:16,930 --> 00:21:21,290
as well, when we look at 
efficiency, numbers and expected

342
00:21:21,290 --> 00:21:24,560
fantasy points. 
But just for anyone that just 

343
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,000
looked at the box score and was 
like, Oh my gosh, Jacobs was 

344
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,320
terrible. 
I mean, they were, they were 

345
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,120
getting shellacked by the Bills.
And you can see that reflected 

346
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:33,920
in his past blocking numbers 
too. 

347
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,840
They just, they needed to throw 
a lot. 

348
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,880
And at least he stayed on the 
field. 

349
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:44,400
He you know yeah I I I noted in 
in in gratias stealing signals. 

350
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,920
Sorry. 
Gretsch noted in his ceiling 

351
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:53,480
signals that the the Raiders had
a really low play count like 

352
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,640
they didn't have very many plays
at all. 

353
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:01,240
So he he he can have a big 
percentage that that probably 

354
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,000
doesn't translate to the box 
score. 

355
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,840
But I I I don't think you really
expect the Raiders to have like 

356
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:15,250
an abysmally low play count. 
So it it goes to your point that

357
00:22:15,610 --> 00:22:19,610
his his role is still really 
valuable the the the points just

358
00:22:19,970 --> 00:22:24,370
haven't been there yet. 
One that one that stuck out to 

359
00:22:24,370 --> 00:22:27,890
me on the the negative side is 
Damien Pierce. 

360
00:22:28,610 --> 00:22:32,410
I I know it's only two weeks in 
and I know the Texas offensive 

361
00:22:32,410 --> 00:22:35,490
line has had, you know, a lot of
injuries. 

362
00:22:35,490 --> 00:22:38,450
They're they're not anywhere 
close to full strength. 

363
00:22:39,290 --> 00:22:42,690
But Damien Pierce, I I feel 
pretty confident in saying 

364
00:22:42,770 --> 00:22:46,250
already that. 
You know the fifth round or 

365
00:22:46,250 --> 00:22:48,450
sixth round? 
He was mostly in the fifth 

366
00:22:48,450 --> 00:22:50,610
round. 
I want to say in in best fall 

367
00:22:50,610 --> 00:22:52,730
drafts. 
But that 5th, 5th, 6th round 

368
00:22:52,730 --> 00:22:55,930
price tag for him? 
Not looking good. 

369
00:22:56,490 --> 00:22:58,610
All the hallmarks of a dead zone
back. 

370
00:22:59,010 --> 00:23:02,450
Yeah, 100% that is. 
That's the dead zone back 

371
00:23:02,450 --> 00:23:05,170
archetype right there. 
Him and him and not super 

372
00:23:05,530 --> 00:23:10,290
confident that they're getting 
all the snaps and then yeah, I 

373
00:23:10,290 --> 00:23:13,570
suppose they they don't get all 
the snaps and then they don't 

374
00:23:13,770 --> 00:23:15,130
really play well with them 
either. 

375
00:23:15,530 --> 00:23:20,610
Speaking of them players that 
the market might get 

376
00:23:20,610 --> 00:23:26,930
overconfident in them, in them 
getting all, all the all the 

377
00:23:26,930 --> 00:23:30,050
snaps, all the usage is there. 
Do you think there's any risk 

378
00:23:30,050 --> 00:23:34,970
that Kyron Williams that going 
forward do you think do you 

379
00:23:34,970 --> 00:23:39,020
think he's like solid in that 
role now or is this something 

380
00:23:39,020 --> 00:23:42,580
where you know it's the rounds 
they could get weird and it 

381
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:46,700
let's say the resurrection comes
back and people drop them in the

382
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:49,860
fifth round or something like 
that on the roll and then is 

383
00:23:49,860 --> 00:23:51,620
there any risk that that gets 
rope pulled? 

384
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:56,900
I think there's a small amount 
of risk stemming from just his 

385
00:23:56,900 --> 00:24:00,380
lack of talent. 
Not, not to say anything bad 

386
00:24:00,380 --> 00:24:02,700
about Kyron Williams, but I I 
think that. 

387
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,960
You can plug in. 
You know, you could plug in Zach

388
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,960
Moss into that role in the Rams 
backfield. 

389
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,800
And yeah, Zach Moss is also not 
a particularly talented player 

390
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,600
for NFL standards, but you know,
he's still gonna produce. 

391
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,160
So I I think the risk that 
you're looking at is just a 

392
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,760
talent risk. 
Like maybe you get someone else 

393
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,720
on that depth chart that 
ascends. 

394
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:31,440
Maybe you get a a Zach Evans, 
you know, that somehow works his

395
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,690
way out of the field. 
That would be my only concern 

396
00:24:34,690 --> 00:24:37,610
but I do think the Rams really 
like Kyron Williams. 

397
00:24:37,610 --> 00:24:42,330
So I I would say you can operate
with relative confidence that 

398
00:24:42,330 --> 00:24:45,610
Kyron's going to maintain that 
role as long as he's able to 

399
00:24:45,610 --> 00:24:48,010
stay healthy. 
He the other concern is he is a 

400
00:24:48,010 --> 00:24:53,730
smaller back he's he's 190 
something so the amount of work 

401
00:24:53,730 --> 00:24:56,810
he's getting is pretty 
significant for someone his 

402
00:24:56,810 --> 00:24:59,330
size. 
So that would those would be 

403
00:24:59,330 --> 00:25:02,130
kind of the two prongs of my 
concern for Kyron Williams. 

404
00:25:02,630 --> 00:25:06,310
But overall I think you got to 
operate with decent confidence 

405
00:25:06,310 --> 00:25:09,190
that he's just going to be the 
guy going forward and and and 

406
00:25:09,190 --> 00:25:13,950
I'm just looking at it here and 
he had a even like last week he 

407
00:25:13,950 --> 00:25:18,510
ran 80% of the roots or or week 
two he Kyren Williams ran 80% of

408
00:25:18,590 --> 00:25:21,710
the Roots. 
In week one when Cammakers was 

409
00:25:21,710 --> 00:25:29,310
active it was still 72% and then
week 115 rush attempts week to 

410
00:25:29,310 --> 00:25:35,020
14 rush attempts. 
So just I I guess reiterate that

411
00:25:35,020 --> 00:25:38,140
does feel like something where 
that's his role. 

412
00:25:38,540 --> 00:25:43,580
I I I don't think I I I don't 
think there is much risk to that

413
00:25:43,580 --> 00:25:48,060
if they if they really like him 
as the passing down back like 

414
00:25:49,580 --> 00:25:52,740
and and they had him and they 
had him running roots even when 

415
00:25:52,740 --> 00:25:55,940
Cam Makers was was active that 
that does feel like something 

416
00:25:55,940 --> 00:26:00,080
pretty sustainable. 
Yeah, I I agree. 

417
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,600
I mean you can operate with 
pretty strong confidence. 

418
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,640
He's the guy going forward. 
Just those little bits of risk 

419
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,560
that I mentioned. 
Another another back on here 

420
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,560
that I wanted to point out. 
Derrick Henry had a better 

421
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,360
scoring week for Fantasy this 
week, his usage still you know a

422
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:21,360
little lower. 
We're definitely seeing Taja 

423
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:24,960
Spears. 
Taja Spears is is getting. 

424
00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:29,580
Snaps He's He's on the field, so
he's really interesting to me as

425
00:26:29,580 --> 00:26:32,980
maybe someone later on in the 
season that comes on, or in the 

426
00:26:32,980 --> 00:26:36,900
event that the Titans just start
losing a lot of games, like 

427
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:40,140
having him be more involved in 
the passing game definitely 

428
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:45,060
looks promising cuz Henry is not
running very many routes. 

429
00:26:46,260 --> 00:26:49,220
That was another one I noticed. 
The other one was. 

430
00:26:50,030 --> 00:26:53,910
AJ Dillon, even though he got 
obviously a lot more work with 

431
00:26:53,910 --> 00:26:58,110
Aaron Jones out this week and 
and this data is aggregating 

432
00:26:58,150 --> 00:27:00,350
week one and week two. 
So that's why you're not seeing,

433
00:27:00,350 --> 00:27:05,510
you know, AJ Dillon shoot up the
chart here but AJ Dillon didn't 

434
00:27:05,510 --> 00:27:11,550
do a ton with it, so I'm not you
know, once, once you get Aaron 

435
00:27:11,550 --> 00:27:14,310
Jones healthy, I don't, I don't 
really think you're gonna see AJ

436
00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:17,950
Dillon be able to steal so, so 
much work from Aaron Jones. 

437
00:27:17,950 --> 00:27:21,460
He just doesn't look great. 
And one thing I think that's 

438
00:27:21,460 --> 00:27:26,340
interesting about Henry and 
Henry, whereas it used to be in 

439
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:30,340
in prior years, he was just 
getting like a really high 

440
00:27:30,340 --> 00:27:34,140
snapshot, really high Snapshore 
and OK. 

441
00:27:34,620 --> 00:27:39,140
And even though he didn't get a 
lot of passing work, he was able

442
00:27:39,140 --> 00:27:43,380
to be so efficient as a rusher 
and get so much of it that still

443
00:27:43,380 --> 00:27:48,520
sort of got there. 
And then it was last year and 

444
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,240
the year before where you had 
games where he was, he had that 

445
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,800
and then he also had targets. 
And that's how you got, that's 

446
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:00,520
how you got this sort of like 
Derek Henry legendary upside 

447
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,840
sort of stuff. 
But I think especially as the 

448
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:09,320
snaps come down and he gets 
older, like for him to maintain 

449
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:14,000
and keep the efficiency and he 
needs to like continue to be 

450
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,230
productive, like obviously 
exceptional player that that 

451
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:23,150
does seem like even even bigger 
risk than than we imagined, like

452
00:28:23,590 --> 00:28:26,670
you're still getting the points 
now, but definitely risky. 

453
00:28:27,430 --> 00:28:29,630
I've I've got a fun question for
you. 

454
00:28:29,630 --> 00:28:34,390
Who who are you taking earlier 
in you know you go on 

455
00:28:34,390 --> 00:28:36,710
DraftKings. 
They've got their Week 3 best 

456
00:28:36,710 --> 00:28:39,310
ball tournaments right now where
you can draft for the rest of 

457
00:28:39,310 --> 00:28:42,030
the season. 
Travis Etn or Derrick Henry. 

458
00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:43,390
Oh, Travis. 
ETN. 

459
00:28:43,390 --> 00:28:45,890
Like, yeah, I, I, I, I I made 
them. 

460
00:28:45,930 --> 00:28:51,570
I made us put ETN as as the 
sneaky Orbi one last year. 

461
00:28:52,770 --> 00:28:54,930
But go ahead, hit me with some 
more. 

462
00:28:55,130 --> 00:28:56,650
I got it. 
I got another one for you. 

463
00:28:56,970 --> 00:29:00,050
Jamir Gibbs or Derrick Henry? 
Oh, my God. 

464
00:29:02,090 --> 00:29:05,330
I mean, I think I'm a fraud if I
don't say yes, don't say Gibbs. 

465
00:29:05,330 --> 00:29:09,930
But it doesn't it for weak tree 
and on. 

466
00:29:10,650 --> 00:29:15,470
Yeah I I I think it is Gibbs 
just because I know his his 

467
00:29:15,470 --> 00:29:20,070
route share really got up there 
this week and even though like 

468
00:29:20,310 --> 00:29:23,430
you get you get some of the 
gripes of like Dan Campbell oh 

469
00:29:23,430 --> 00:29:28,550
his his root cause to pick six 
and then even and and they've 

470
00:29:28,550 --> 00:29:32,870
been hesitant to play on. 
I just think when when you and 

471
00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:35,630
take him into account how back 
weighted fantasy football is to 

472
00:29:35,630 --> 00:29:40,430
the last couple of weeks of the 
season like it it I think at 

473
00:29:40,550 --> 00:29:45,360
least it's there's a good 
probability and that Gibbs is is

474
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,080
decently outscoring Henry at 
that point I I'm I'm curious so 

475
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,560
would would you would you have 
gone the other way. 

476
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,640
No, I I agree with you on both 
those. 

477
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,840
I've got the hardest one so far 
for you here though, OK. 

478
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,360
And I've got one more after it 
Kenneth Walker or Derek Henry 

479
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,960
and I I I think I think I'm kind
of Walker there too and and it's

480
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:13,090
because very similar are are 
types where they're not really 

481
00:30:13,130 --> 00:30:17,890
they're not really past catchers
and you just you need the you 

482
00:30:17,890 --> 00:30:23,370
need the Russian efficiency to 
get there and I think this might

483
00:30:23,370 --> 00:30:28,210
this definitely says more about 
Henry than than moving Henry 

484
00:30:28,210 --> 00:30:31,170
down than than pushing Walker 
into like the third round or 

485
00:30:31,170 --> 00:30:36,690
something like that And because 
I guess you still do have them 

486
00:30:39,380 --> 00:30:43,820
his roots came down cool a 
decent amount last week So 

487
00:30:43,820 --> 00:30:47,340
there's still there's still some
risks there and and and Walker's

488
00:30:47,340 --> 00:30:51,140
sort of usage even though the 
talent is very strong and but 

489
00:30:51,580 --> 00:30:55,860
definitely if I'm being asked to
make efficiency bets on a back I

490
00:30:55,860 --> 00:30:59,020
do feel much better at Walker. 
OK. 

491
00:30:59,260 --> 00:31:02,380
Last one here. 
Brian Robinson. 

492
00:31:02,860 --> 00:31:09,610
Oh my God. 
And if I want I honestly I I 

493
00:31:09,610 --> 00:31:16,090
think I'm I am Henry there and 
just because he is the it's 

494
00:31:16,090 --> 00:31:18,210
still like obviously older Derek
Henry. 

495
00:31:18,730 --> 00:31:22,450
Derek Henry losing snaps but 
still Derek Henry. 

496
00:31:22,970 --> 00:31:28,330
I still, I think that that he's 
just such an elite talent, even 

497
00:31:28,330 --> 00:31:32,370
if he is older and Brian 
Robinson, he's still in like a 

498
00:31:32,610 --> 00:31:39,060
split back share backfield and 
so yeah, yeah, not not willing 

499
00:31:39,060 --> 00:31:42,660
to go there yet. 
Yeah, I I come down on the same 

500
00:31:42,660 --> 00:31:45,540
side as you do for all of those.
You know what? 

501
00:31:45,540 --> 00:31:47,900
I I think Brian Robinson is, 
though. 

502
00:31:48,260 --> 00:31:51,500
Brian Robinson is what all of 
the Naji drafters thought that 

503
00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:54,900
Naji was, right. 
That's what Brian Robinson is. 

504
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:59,220
He's like what Naji would be if 
Naji was halfway decent, right? 

505
00:31:59,300 --> 00:32:03,430
But Naji is not. 
My The funniest play I got to 

506
00:32:03,430 --> 00:32:06,910
watch of this week two of 
football was when Naji reversed 

507
00:32:06,910 --> 00:32:10,630
direction in the backfield and 
ran like 60 yards for a 20 yard 

508
00:32:10,630 --> 00:32:14,230
gain and he was running out of 
gas at the line of scrimmage. 

509
00:32:14,430 --> 00:32:17,270
By the time he got back to the 
line of scrimmage, he was like 

510
00:32:17,270 --> 00:32:19,990
fully gassed. 
He did manage to break it for 

511
00:32:19,990 --> 00:32:25,030
like 20 yards, but it was that 
was a a really fun one to watch.

512
00:32:25,730 --> 00:32:29,730
Yeah, yeah. 
And I saw that the and the Roto 

513
00:32:29,730 --> 00:32:33,850
world headline that he erupt for
43 yards. 

514
00:32:35,450 --> 00:32:37,570
Yeah, that that's that's down 
bad. 

515
00:32:39,450 --> 00:32:43,930
Anyone else on this RB chart or 
should we go on to the guys 

516
00:32:43,930 --> 00:32:50,250
getting less usage? 
I think it's, I think it's 

517
00:32:50,250 --> 00:32:54,170
somewhat interesting that Moss 
Anders is still pretty high up 

518
00:32:54,170 --> 00:32:58,830
here ma'am, but obviously that's
what the caveat that we have 

519
00:32:58,830 --> 00:33:01,950
that grave concerns with the 
offense that he's on. 

520
00:33:02,670 --> 00:33:05,870
And you know what? 
Chuba got 5 targets this week. 

521
00:33:05,870 --> 00:33:09,870
You can Fact Check me on that 
one, but I believe if memory 

522
00:33:09,870 --> 00:33:14,190
serves, Chuba got 5 targets and 
I wanna say Sanders got two, one

523
00:33:14,190 --> 00:33:18,100
or two. 
So I definitely see the work 

524
00:33:18,180 --> 00:33:20,860
being split over the course of 
the season. 

525
00:33:20,980 --> 00:33:24,060
I think that Miles Sanders, if 
he is gonna be getting more 

526
00:33:24,060 --> 00:33:25,940
work, is getting the low calorie
stuff. 

527
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:31,700
And I I think a lot of people 
say like Miles Sanders is a bad 

528
00:33:31,700 --> 00:33:33,340
back. 
I don't think he's as bad as 

529
00:33:33,340 --> 00:33:37,300
guys like Naji or you know, some
of the lower talent guys. 

530
00:33:37,580 --> 00:33:39,380
I don't think he's terrible, 
plus NFL talent. 

531
00:33:39,860 --> 00:33:42,100
Yeah, for for sure. 
He's a plus NFL talent. 

532
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:46,540
I also I think Chuba is like. 
Replacement level talent as 

533
00:33:46,540 --> 00:33:48,460
well. 
So I don't think he they're both

534
00:33:48,460 --> 00:33:51,100
better than Jamal Williams. 
You know, like, yeah, yeah, for 

535
00:33:51,100 --> 00:33:53,700
sure. 
So I think it's gonna trend to 

536
00:33:53,700 --> 00:33:58,260
being more split, but I do think
that Chuba's getting more of the

537
00:33:58,260 --> 00:34:01,100
work in the passing game, which 
that's what I want in that 

538
00:34:01,100 --> 00:34:02,140
offense. 
They're gonna be bad. 

539
00:34:02,140 --> 00:34:05,020
They're gonna lose a lot of 
games, yeah. 

540
00:34:05,420 --> 00:34:09,659
And I I like it. 
Just before we move on. 

541
00:34:09,659 --> 00:34:14,860
I do like seeing that Bijon, 
even though he's splitting with 

542
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:20,340
Algier more than than the market
was expecting, do like to see 

543
00:34:20,340 --> 00:34:24,380
that his sort of like productive
snack rate is around 60%. 

544
00:34:24,659 --> 00:34:31,500
That is like it's just it's not 
it's like it's just a step below

545
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:36,659
that sort of like second tier of
work horseish running backs and 

546
00:34:36,659 --> 00:34:40,340
and definitely feels like as the
season goes on that he he could 

547
00:34:40,420 --> 00:34:44,550
he he could add his strong 
efficiency to our state. 

548
00:34:45,030 --> 00:34:47,510
He's already ready. 
Bijon is already strongly 

549
00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:52,790
efficient, but he could also add
in perhaps a bit more snap share

550
00:34:52,830 --> 00:34:55,630
to get even more production. 
Yeah, I agree. 

551
00:34:55,630 --> 00:34:59,870
And just from from watching 
Bijon, there will not be a game 

552
00:34:59,870 --> 00:35:03,350
this season where Bijon Robinson
is not the best football player 

553
00:35:03,350 --> 00:35:06,470
on the field at all times like 
that dude is insane. 

554
00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:09,230
He moves in. 
There are multiple times where 

555
00:35:09,230 --> 00:35:13,790
I'm watching Bijon run where he?
Is moving out of the way of a 

556
00:35:13,790 --> 00:35:16,230
tackler and he's still moving 
forward. 

557
00:35:16,230 --> 00:35:18,190
He is. 
He is moving like sideways and 

558
00:35:18,190 --> 00:35:22,910
forward so suddenly, at the same
time, I my brain, like, can't 

559
00:35:22,910 --> 00:35:25,630
comprehend that it's happening 
in the way that it's happening. 

560
00:35:25,630 --> 00:35:29,350
He looks, he looks like the best
player, hands down. 

561
00:35:29,350 --> 00:35:33,630
He's very so. 
I know I've seen some talk. 

562
00:35:33,630 --> 00:35:41,490
Dot CMC is like should be the 
101 and are you there and then 

563
00:35:41,490 --> 00:35:43,650
where would you put at bijon 
after that? 

564
00:35:44,050 --> 00:35:47,810
This this sounds weird to say. 
After two weeks of the 49ers 

565
00:35:47,810 --> 00:35:52,730
just keeping Christian McCaffrey
on the field the entire time, I 

566
00:35:52,730 --> 00:35:56,490
don't think that his usage is 
gonna be as sticky as it is. 

567
00:35:57,050 --> 00:36:01,290
Yeah, I think that, you know, 
that game against the Rams was 

568
00:36:01,290 --> 00:36:03,490
very close. 
They could have lost that game 

569
00:36:03,650 --> 00:36:08,170
easily, you know, if it wasn't 
for that Kyron Williams, you 

570
00:36:08,170 --> 00:36:12,040
know, interception. 
I think that you definitely 

571
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,720
could have seen the 49ers lose 
to the Rams there. 

572
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,800
And then in week one, like, 
yeah, they were. 

573
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,640
They were beaten on the 
Steelers, but it was week one 

574
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,560
and Chris McCaffrey was feeling 
good. 

575
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,440
He's fully healthy right now. 
He doesn't have, like, the 

576
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,880
Knicks and bruises that you 
accumulate over the course of 

577
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,720
the season. 
I don't think this usage stands,

578
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,920
and I know I believe it was Ben 
who wrote about this in Stealing

579
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,480
Signals. 
Something to the effect of the 

580
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,400
49ers just decided, hey, Elijah 
Mitchell, you're the odd man 

581
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,240
out. 
We have too many talented guys 

582
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,400
to get the ball distributed to 
all of them, so you're just 

583
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,040
never going to see the field. 
And I think that's going to be 

584
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,280
true when the games are close, 
but when they play games that 

585
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,640
are out of hand, or even when 
Christian McCaffrey is just a, 

586
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,440
you know, a little bit nicked 
up, I think we're not going to 

587
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,160
see this usage hold. 
And that's not to say that he's 

588
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,320
not a an incredibly strong first
round pick, but just that you 

589
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,200
know it's the 101. 
Like I'm still pretty 

590
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,520
confidently taking Justin 
Jefferson 101 and I also think 

591
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:24,360
I'm taking Tyree kill 102 but 
then Christian McCaffrey is is 

592
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,120
probably the back that you have 
to take there and then in that 

593
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,080
next tier I think it's got to be
Bijon, right? 

594
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:31,920
I can't. 
Yeah. 

595
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,500
You you have anyone different? 
Yeah I I was I was leading you 

596
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:40,860
to say that I I that I was 
saying like I was I was I was 

597
00:37:40,860 --> 00:37:43,540
basically trying to get you to 
say yeah Bijon is after that and

598
00:37:43,580 --> 00:37:49,700
I completely agree and I I think
it's somewhat interesting that 

599
00:37:50,740 --> 00:37:56,140
so like this elite, elite, elite
usage for CMC it's only like 

600
00:37:56,140 --> 00:38:00,140
it's 20 carries a game and then 
what is it? 

601
00:38:00,140 --> 00:38:02,060
We're looking at 3 1/2 targets a
game. 

602
00:38:02,780 --> 00:38:10,840
So like obviously very very good
and but if you're if you're 

603
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,520
thinking like oh what's what's 
the best what's the best role in

604
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:19,120
the NFL like obviously 25 
touches a game is, is like it's 

605
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:24,000
pretty workhorse horseish. 
But I would bet if you got it, 

606
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,240
if if they get into games where 
like there's more, there's more 

607
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,670
touches for the box than 25 ish,
then they're they're definitely 

608
00:38:32,670 --> 00:38:35,750
bringing in Elijah Mitchell. 
Like, I think part of this 

609
00:38:35,750 --> 00:38:39,830
percentage thing is that they 
just haven't gotten into, they 

610
00:38:39,830 --> 00:38:42,830
haven't got to a stage where 
like, OK, we've given them too 

611
00:38:42,830 --> 00:38:44,670
much touches. 
We need, we need to give this 

612
00:38:44,670 --> 00:38:47,550
guy a breeder. 
Yeah, I agree. 

613
00:38:50,350 --> 00:38:54,590
But if you don't have anyone 
else, we can move on to the to 

614
00:38:54,590 --> 00:38:56,830
the backup chart. 
Yeah, let's go to the backup 

615
00:38:56,830 --> 00:38:58,590
chart. 
We're we're gonna try and stay 

616
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:02,080
on schedule tonight, folks. 
So I think you're I actually I 

617
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,760
think we're on good schedule. 
Excellent, excellent. 

618
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:10,160
Here on this second chart, 
there's a couple guys here where

619
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,720
like Justice Hill, Gus Edwards, 
they both are. 

620
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,880
They will eventually work their 
way towards that starter chart. 

621
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,400
It's just still the lag from 
Week 1 where Dobbins got 

622
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,600
everything in the first half, 
basically, other than Justice 

623
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,600
coming in and getting a couple 
touches. 

624
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,040
And then in the second-half it 
was Gus and Justice. 

625
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,880
But those guys will work their 
way up. 

626
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,600
Other guys that I fully 
anticipate to work their way 

627
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,080
onto that first chart. 
You're gonna see Gibbs work his 

628
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,560
way onto the first chart. 
With the Montgomery injury, 

629
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,320
you're gonna see Warren slowly 
work his way onto the first 

630
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,800
chart. 
Just because we got, we watched 

631
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,520
Naji play football for two weeks
like the Bears. 

632
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,200
Backfield is interesting to me. 
I. 

633
00:39:53,670 --> 00:39:57,150
I think that there's a chance 
that Herbert and Rochon 

634
00:39:57,150 --> 00:39:59,310
consolidate everything between 
the two of them. 

635
00:39:59,350 --> 00:40:01,950
I mean, you had to down to 
Foreman, inactive this last 

636
00:40:01,950 --> 00:40:03,750
week. 
I don't know if that's going to 

637
00:40:03,750 --> 00:40:06,230
be consistent going forward, but
if there's a chance they 

638
00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:09,310
consolidate it. 
But that offense doesn't look 

639
00:40:09,390 --> 00:40:13,870
great, so I don't know how 
desirable you know either of 

640
00:40:13,870 --> 00:40:16,910
them are for fantasy. 
I I mean, if I had to pick one, 

641
00:40:16,910 --> 00:40:21,190
it's Rochon, just since he's a 
rookie running back. 

642
00:40:23,290 --> 00:40:26,850
His ticker should be trending up
over the course of the season. 

643
00:40:28,810 --> 00:40:32,930
What do you make of Jovante 
Williams usage so far and how do

644
00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:35,170
you feel about him going forward
this season? 

645
00:40:36,090 --> 00:40:43,090
And so obviously he's playing 
off the ACL, so he is being an 

646
00:40:43,610 --> 00:40:47,940
Angel long and I think. 
As long as like he's he's 

647
00:40:47,940 --> 00:40:50,860
continuing for like progressing 
through his rehab. 

648
00:40:51,220 --> 00:40:53,660
I I think that that something 
that sort of like missed a 

649
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:55,780
little bit or are not 
communicated well. 

650
00:40:56,460 --> 00:41:01,020
Is that like part of the rehab 
from these knee injuries is 

651
00:41:01,020 --> 00:41:04,980
actually playing in the game 
like the the way the way that 

652
00:41:04,980 --> 00:41:07,660
people come back from injuries 
is by getting stronger, by 

653
00:41:07,660 --> 00:41:12,620
getting more stamina, by by by 
putting stresses on on that 

654
00:41:12,620 --> 00:41:17,600
injury and so and. 
He he's sort of like still in 

655
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:22,880
his his rehab and then once once
he gets a couple of games under 

656
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,120
his belt assuming and no 
setbacks or anything like that 

657
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:34,360
would definitely expect better 
at him to get into the starter 

658
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,520
chart. 
And I think if you if you have 

659
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,320
the outlook that the the the 
Broncos are going to be a 

660
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:49,460
somewhat decent offense. 
Then we'll he will. 

661
00:41:49,580 --> 00:41:57,420
He should be a productive back I
think though if you were 

662
00:41:57,420 --> 00:42:02,820
drafting Jovante in the sixth 
round, it does. 

663
00:42:03,220 --> 00:42:07,940
Unless unless we see this again 
a good bit better soon. 

664
00:42:08,220 --> 00:42:11,220
I think this is sort of shaping 
up to be a little disappointing 

665
00:42:11,220 --> 00:42:15,050
there and. 
But if you if you were drafting 

666
00:42:15,050 --> 00:42:20,370
him much earlier early in the 
offseason and then later in the 

667
00:42:20,370 --> 00:42:25,130
draft I I I think that this is 
this is really strong for 

668
00:42:25,130 --> 00:42:32,650
Giovante and but it it it's it's
also hard it's hard to call just

669
00:42:32,650 --> 00:42:37,210
because his apart from his 
broken tackle metrics he's never

670
00:42:37,210 --> 00:42:42,520
been particularly efficient so. 
It is it it it's a tricky I 

671
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:48,200
think it is a tricky 1 where you
need you you do need you need 

672
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,200
more snap shared on than than 
you're looking for from breeze 

673
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,480
and then you do need his 
recovery to be good enough where

674
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,440
he can play well. 
That's cut sort of a wishy washy

675
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:02,800
answer and but I think I'm I I 
probably not dropped him in the 

676
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,640
6th but happy to drop them in 
the 8 rounds. 

677
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:08,870
That is how I voted. 
Yeah. 

678
00:43:08,870 --> 00:43:11,270
I think that's a good assessment
and that's not wishy washy. 

679
00:43:11,270 --> 00:43:15,670
That's the way, like, I know 
that what a lot of, I don't 

680
00:43:15,670 --> 00:43:18,310
think this audience is that way.
But I know that what a lot of 

681
00:43:18,310 --> 00:43:20,990
people look for in fantasy 
analysis, they want like those 

682
00:43:20,990 --> 00:43:24,930
strong takes or the strong 
stands, when really what good 

683
00:43:24,930 --> 00:43:26,930
analysis is, is what you just 
did. 

684
00:43:26,930 --> 00:43:30,490
You kind of laid out, you know, 
hey, here's the whole situation.

685
00:43:30,490 --> 00:43:32,770
Here's the pros and cons. 
Here's how it could break your 

686
00:43:32,770 --> 00:43:35,690
way, here's what you're looking 
for, for it to go well, you 

687
00:43:35,690 --> 00:43:38,650
know, here's a reasonable, you 
know, price range for him. 

688
00:43:38,970 --> 00:43:41,130
Right. 
So, yeah, no, I I agree with 

689
00:43:41,130 --> 00:43:45,050
that assessment on Jovante. 
It's all pretty positive so far.

690
00:43:45,050 --> 00:43:48,810
The way most of my Jovante came 
in, like round eight, round 

691
00:43:48,810 --> 00:43:49,810
nine, you know. 
Yeah. 

692
00:43:50,330 --> 00:43:52,170
And I'm. 
I'm feeling great about it. 

693
00:43:52,690 --> 00:43:56,060
Yeah. 
For sure the the other guy that 

694
00:43:56,060 --> 00:43:58,980
was going in that range of 
drafts and is right below him on

695
00:43:58,980 --> 00:44:01,660
the charts though. 
Dalvin Cook. 

696
00:44:02,540 --> 00:44:04,260
Woof. 
I mean I know. 

697
00:44:04,260 --> 00:44:05,820
I know it was the Cowboys 
defense. 

698
00:44:05,820 --> 00:44:09,500
And so like for for me, honestly
what I'm doing for The Jets this

699
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:13,500
week is just like just that's a 
throw away the tape game. 

700
00:44:13,540 --> 00:44:17,460
You know, like I'm not to not to
be the world's biggest Cowboys 

701
00:44:17,460 --> 00:44:19,340
Homer. 
I'm pretty sure a lot of teams 

702
00:44:19,340 --> 00:44:21,660
are gonna have their worst 
offensive performance against 

703
00:44:21,660 --> 00:44:25,860
that defense this year, So I I 
think you can throw away the 

704
00:44:25,860 --> 00:44:27,540
tape there. 
I mean, it also doesn't help 

705
00:44:27,540 --> 00:44:29,860
that Zach Wilson was the 
quarterback. 

706
00:44:30,380 --> 00:44:33,300
That one that's about to. 
Say, hold on there, Homer. 

707
00:44:33,300 --> 00:44:35,060
You've played fucking Zach 
Wilson. 

708
00:44:37,580 --> 00:44:39,540
And what's the other guy? 
Yeah, done in time. 

709
00:44:39,780 --> 00:44:43,180
Zach Wilson and Daniel Jones and
and two offensive lines that 

710
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:46,140
have not shown that they've been
particularly strong. 

711
00:44:46,580 --> 00:44:50,580
But I I do think even though the
competition that defenses face 

712
00:44:50,580 --> 00:44:54,290
has not been, you know, the 
highest echelon that the NFL has

713
00:44:54,290 --> 00:44:57,610
to offer, I think that we're 
getting way more signal than 

714
00:44:57,610 --> 00:45:00,570
noise from that defense is, is 
what I'll say about it. 

715
00:45:00,570 --> 00:45:03,930
But no one wants to hear a 
Cowboys Homer go on about how 

716
00:45:03,930 --> 00:45:06,250
this defense is the doomsday 
defense again. 

717
00:45:06,610 --> 00:45:10,010
But what the people do want to 
hear is about Justice Hill. 

718
00:45:10,970 --> 00:45:15,250
Because Justice Hill, while he 
didn't put up an incredible box 

719
00:45:15,250 --> 00:45:19,110
score for you this week, there 
were some really encouraging 

720
00:45:19,110 --> 00:45:22,430
things about the way that the 
workload was split and most 

721
00:45:22,430 --> 00:45:24,870
specifically the way the high 
value touches were split. 

722
00:45:25,350 --> 00:45:28,830
So this is a situation I 
followed extremely closely as 

723
00:45:28,870 --> 00:45:33,350
the resident Justice Hill 
truther and Justice took 

724
00:45:33,350 --> 00:45:38,470
basically a 5545 split. 
Gus did get work but Gus 

725
00:45:38,470 --> 00:45:42,910
basically got a lot of the you 
know lower calorie carry type 

726
00:45:42,910 --> 00:45:46,040
work. 
Justice out touched him and high

727
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,120
value touches 5 to 1 and the 
only high value touch Gus did 

728
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:54,920
get was a goal line carry where 
unfortunately for Justice Hill 

729
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,320
he did get stuffed the play 
right before and then Gus came 

730
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,720
in and and cleaned it up and 
vultured the TVI. 

731
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:05,720
Do think that that that 
definitely that caps the ceiling

732
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:09,840
for Justice right he's he's 190 
pound something you know 

733
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,180
satellite back plus he's not 
he's not going to be the power 

734
00:46:13,180 --> 00:46:16,940
back on the goal line but we did
see in week one he is able to 

735
00:46:16,940 --> 00:46:20,020
score from you know those Green 
Zone touches. 

736
00:46:20,260 --> 00:46:23,220
I just don't think the you know 
run up the middles are are going

737
00:46:23,220 --> 00:46:26,140
to be the highest probability 
for Justice Hill touchdown plays

738
00:46:27,020 --> 00:46:29,700
but overall it was super 
positive for him. 

739
00:46:30,340 --> 00:46:33,100
I do think really what you're 
looking at though is you're just

740
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:37,940
looking for in games where the 
Ravens go crazy, Justice Hill 

741
00:46:37,940 --> 00:46:42,400
has multi touchdown upside in 
his range of outcomes and in 

742
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,520
games where the Ravens are 
behind a lot and having to throw

743
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,440
more, he is squarely the passing
back. 

744
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:51,920
So that's that's what you wanted
to see. 

745
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,400
That was the whole thesis of the
play. 

746
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,520
So Justice Hills slappies were 
alive. 

747
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:03,760
And I think the fact that he did
get 22 Green Zone touches are 

748
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:08,840
still like he's not dead for a 
goal line work. 

749
00:47:09,370 --> 00:47:11,170
He's just sort of splitting it, 
yeah. 

750
00:47:12,690 --> 00:47:18,090
And but yeah, agreed, agreed. 
It's definitely the usage and 

751
00:47:18,090 --> 00:47:21,610
the situation is better than 
last week's box score would 

752
00:47:21,610 --> 00:47:25,850
indicate. 
So moving on. 

753
00:47:26,650 --> 00:47:32,930
And so we're still on the Orb 
charts and this is expected 

754
00:47:32,930 --> 00:47:35,820
points. 
So we have a rushing expected 

755
00:47:35,820 --> 00:47:39,420
points from rushing on the on 
the horizontal axis and then 

756
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:44,460
expected points from receiving 
and and targets on the on the 

757
00:47:44,460 --> 00:47:49,300
vertical axis. 
And so we we'll we have covered 

758
00:47:49,380 --> 00:47:53,980
a lot of a lot of these players.
But I guess this this sort of 

759
00:47:53,980 --> 00:47:58,540
converts it from like oh, when 
we on the field to like how good

760
00:47:58,540 --> 00:48:01,380
was your opportunity and and how
efficient were you with it. 

761
00:48:02,670 --> 00:48:05,430
Yeah, absolutely. 
One thing I do want to add just 

762
00:48:05,430 --> 00:48:09,350
as some some clarity to this 
chart for guys that played week 

763
00:48:09,350 --> 00:48:12,150
one but didn't play week two 
like Austin Eckler, we're only 

764
00:48:12,150 --> 00:48:15,390
pulling week one data in here. 
So that's that's why he still is

765
00:48:15,390 --> 00:48:20,230
where he is. 
Guys that stood out to me. 

766
00:48:20,950 --> 00:48:26,310
I mean, Raheem Moster looks like
a very strong pick where he was 

767
00:48:26,310 --> 00:48:30,220
going in basketball. 
Still, the role is just the role

768
00:48:30,220 --> 00:48:34,140
is fantastic. 
What this really does for me, 

769
00:48:34,140 --> 00:48:36,740
like I I'm obviously super 
excited for the teams where I've

770
00:48:36,740 --> 00:48:40,140
got Rahim mosted on them. 
What makes me really excited 

771
00:48:40,140 --> 00:48:43,620
though is that the runway is 
starting to get cleared out for 

772
00:48:43,660 --> 00:48:47,700
a chain because you've had a 
couple injuries now you know 

773
00:48:47,700 --> 00:48:51,180
you've still got Jeff Wilson on 
IR with the extremely dubious 

774
00:48:51,180 --> 00:48:53,700
comments from the coaches of he 
could come back this season. 

775
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:54,980
Excuse me? 
Right. 

776
00:48:55,340 --> 00:49:01,190
He might still be alive, but we,
yeah, yeah, Salman Achmed got 

777
00:49:01,190 --> 00:49:04,910
banged up in the last game. 
I haven't seen anything specific

778
00:49:04,910 --> 00:49:08,030
about the severity of his 
injury, but it's starting to 

779
00:49:08,030 --> 00:49:11,510
look like we're going to get 
some a chain opportunity. 

780
00:49:11,510 --> 00:49:14,870
He did manage to sneak his way 
onto the field a little bit in 

781
00:49:14,870 --> 00:49:17,390
Week 2. 
So I think we're we're starting 

782
00:49:17,390 --> 00:49:20,230
to see that ramp up for him, 
which that's really that's what 

783
00:49:20,230 --> 00:49:22,590
you need. 
I would anticipate where he gets

784
00:49:22,590 --> 00:49:26,030
involved first is more in the 
passing game. 

785
00:49:26,030 --> 00:49:29,630
Not that most, it is not a 
perfectly competent back in the 

786
00:49:29,630 --> 00:49:32,950
passing game, but I think that a
chain adds a lot more and that 

787
00:49:32,950 --> 00:49:35,070
is what we saw from him when he 
was on the field. 

788
00:49:36,150 --> 00:49:40,710
So this just if you take Raheem 
Moster there and you just remove

789
00:49:40,710 --> 00:49:44,270
his name and put Dolphins 
running back, that's the way 

790
00:49:44,270 --> 00:49:46,430
that I'm looking at it. 
And so that's a role that I 

791
00:49:46,430 --> 00:49:48,230
think is super valuable. 
It's just an offense. 

792
00:49:48,230 --> 00:49:49,670
It's going to score a bunch of 
points. 

793
00:49:49,950 --> 00:49:52,660
You want the running back there,
you know? 

794
00:49:52,660 --> 00:49:54,420
Should be able to be pretty 
efficient with it. 

795
00:49:55,380 --> 00:49:58,140
And just as well it's Rahim 
Mostard. 

796
00:49:58,260 --> 00:50:03,180
He's 32. 
It's weak to like, I mean 

797
00:50:03,180 --> 00:50:07,540
obviously you hope that he makes
a full year and for him as a 

798
00:50:07,540 --> 00:50:10,900
player definitely hope that. 
And but on sort of balance of 

799
00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:16,380
probabilities, like it is hard 
to see him be healthy and 

800
00:50:16,380 --> 00:50:20,620
productive the same way he has 
been true at what is it, three 

801
00:50:20,620 --> 00:50:23,160
months? 
And three plus months of an NFL 

802
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:28,640
season SO1. 
Easy to see somebody else come 

803
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,600
in. 
One thing you mentioned last 

804
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:35,720
week that I wanted to point out 
this week is for the size of the

805
00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:38,080
dots you can see up in the top 
left hand corner we've got the 

806
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,640
size reference is that size of 
the pink dot. 

807
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:46,000
There is zero fantasy points 
over expected per game, and so 

808
00:50:46,650 --> 00:50:48,690
you can look at this in a couple
ways. 

809
00:50:48,890 --> 00:50:53,570
Number one, guys with a bigger 
size, they're probably playing a

810
00:50:53,570 --> 00:50:56,090
little bit more efficiently. 
The touches that they're being 

811
00:50:56,090 --> 00:51:00,090
given, they're actually making 
more out of those than what they

812
00:51:00,090 --> 00:51:02,450
should be worth. 
The other thing though is if you

813
00:51:02,450 --> 00:51:06,840
get someone who runs super hot 
on touchdowns, they also will 

814
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,080
show up as a larger size. 
Is that the correct 

815
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,760
interpretation to that? 
So just be wary. 

816
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:21,040
You know not all size is created
equal, but like one one that I 

817
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:25,480
see that stands out that is not 
exciting for me is Damian 

818
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,680
Pierce. 
I mean we touched on it earlier.

819
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,840
Not only is you know, his role 
much smaller than anticipated, 

820
00:51:33,460 --> 00:51:35,980
but his efficiency looks pretty 
poor. 

821
00:51:35,980 --> 00:51:39,260
I mean, he is in that 10 to 15 
expected fantasy points band 

822
00:51:39,740 --> 00:51:44,700
there, but that's a guy where 
like here, here's a question. 

823
00:51:45,500 --> 00:51:48,460
Neither of these are super 
exciting backs, but Isaiah 

824
00:51:48,460 --> 00:51:51,060
Pacheco or Damian Pierce, Who 
would you rather have on your 

825
00:51:51,060 --> 00:51:54,660
team? 
And Pacheco and OK. 

826
00:51:55,460 --> 00:52:00,660
So I just just on on on the 
efficiency, so he's been bad on 

827
00:52:00,660 --> 00:52:07,140
a yardage efficiency. 
So last last week he was -4 1/2 

828
00:52:07,340 --> 00:52:12,780
at expected points are are over 
expected points on the yardage 

829
00:52:12,900 --> 00:52:18,300
components and then -5.1 on on 
the TD. 

830
00:52:18,340 --> 00:52:24,220
So that's like a negative 9.6. 
Obviously this is volatile you 

831
00:52:24,220 --> 00:52:28,710
don't expect. 
That that low every, every week,

832
00:52:29,190 --> 00:52:32,510
but really quite per. 
Sorry, go ahead. 

833
00:52:33,510 --> 00:52:39,150
No, no, the the other one that 
this one I I guess I'm just 

834
00:52:39,150 --> 00:52:43,390
going to have to to take the L 
on this one but Latavius Murray 

835
00:52:43,390 --> 00:52:47,590
having a legitimate role beyond 
being just a camp body for the 

836
00:52:47,590 --> 00:52:53,800
Bills is baffling to me. 
I don't think that Damien Harris

837
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:58,680
looks bad when he gets on the 
field but there I I think that 

838
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,680
this is probably a really savvy 
thing for real life football. 

839
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,280
Like hey let's take our our two 
guys that are going to be our 

840
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,600
more bruiser type acts except 
with habeas Murray is involved 

841
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,640
in the passing game like pretty 
pretty good as well but they're 

842
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,080
they're just splitting the load 
between those guys. 

843
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,600
So like I it's probably savvy 
for for real football for 

844
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,720
fantasy football. 
It's pretty frustrating. 

845
00:53:20,210 --> 00:53:25,250
I think you you're you're much 
lower on Damien Harris going 

846
00:53:25,250 --> 00:53:27,610
forward again Latavius Murray is
34. 

847
00:53:27,610 --> 00:53:31,410
So in the same, you know same 
way that Raheem most are we 

848
00:53:31,410 --> 00:53:35,330
don't really anticipate him 
having his strongest production 

849
00:53:35,370 --> 00:53:37,010
in the back half of the season. 
I would. 

850
00:53:37,090 --> 00:53:39,050
I'd feel the same about Murray. 
Yeah. 

851
00:53:39,050 --> 00:53:43,370
But when I when I'm thinking of 
Murray, I'm more so thinking of 

852
00:53:43,370 --> 00:53:46,410
him with respect to what does 
this mean for James Cook? 

853
00:53:46,410 --> 00:53:48,170
What does this mean for Damien 
Harris? 

854
00:53:49,330 --> 00:53:52,570
So how would you, how would you 
look for James Cook and Damian 

855
00:53:52,570 --> 00:53:59,690
Harris going forward? 
So, James Cook, Obviously his 

856
00:53:59,690 --> 00:54:02,330
yardage has been good, his snack
count has been good. 

857
00:54:04,290 --> 00:54:07,980
But. 
Frustrating that there's now two

858
00:54:07,980 --> 00:54:11,340
guys ahead of him on the scene 
or he's having to. 

859
00:54:11,700 --> 00:54:15,100
Not only is is that Josh Allen 
going to account for a high 

860
00:54:15,100 --> 00:54:20,700
percentage of the goal line 
touchdowns, but having two other

861
00:54:20,700 --> 00:54:23,660
backs that are going to mix in 
or and potentially play ahead of

862
00:54:23,660 --> 00:54:29,900
them on the on the goal line is.
It's definitely frustrating and 

863
00:54:30,980 --> 00:54:35,010
I think though. 
There's probably at least some 

864
00:54:35,010 --> 00:54:39,090
probability that and James Cook 
has maybe a better goal line 

865
00:54:39,090 --> 00:54:42,810
role than that we've seen 
through two weeks. 

866
00:54:43,450 --> 00:54:50,130
And like like you mentioned 
Latavius Marie is 34 and and I 

867
00:54:50,130 --> 00:54:53,610
think James Cook he has, he has 
been a good rusher. 

868
00:54:53,930 --> 00:54:58,210
So I I think that he could still
like be a good goal line back, 

869
00:54:58,770 --> 00:55:03,610
but definitely I think. 
At least for the season, for the

870
00:55:03,610 --> 00:55:10,690
regular season part of of 
contests that him for now 

871
00:55:10,730 --> 00:55:14,090
looking like that he sort of 
washed out of the of the goal 

872
00:55:14,090 --> 00:55:17,410
and stuff it. 
It does take out your your 

873
00:55:17,450 --> 00:55:22,210
outcomes where okay you took him
in the 5th or whatever and now 

874
00:55:22,250 --> 00:55:26,050
and and now he's going to be so 
good that he should he actually 

875
00:55:26,050 --> 00:55:27,250
should have been in the second 
round pick. 

876
00:55:27,250 --> 00:55:30,570
So you got it. 
You got a complete steal, I 

877
00:55:30,570 --> 00:55:34,530
think that. 
And you probably you're you're 

878
00:55:34,530 --> 00:55:40,810
not drawing super live to get 
like this really high advance 

879
00:55:40,810 --> 00:55:46,370
rate and but I I don't I don't 
think like the for the whole 

880
00:55:46,370 --> 00:55:50,170
year that his goal line that 
he's just dead to have a goal 

881
00:55:50,170 --> 00:55:54,490
line role and he's just a little
bit a little bit blocked to have

882
00:55:54,490 --> 00:55:59,650
enough of one that you need and 
if you took him in the 5th and 

883
00:55:59,810 --> 00:56:05,730
what. 
I mean I think that he's 

884
00:56:05,730 --> 00:56:09,770
definitely someone where you're 
interested in let's say around 

885
00:56:09,770 --> 00:56:12,690
the seventh round. 
I I think still quite 

886
00:56:12,690 --> 00:56:17,330
interesting because he he is 
getting a lot of non goal line 

887
00:56:17,330 --> 00:56:22,330
usage. 
He has been efficient and so 

888
00:56:22,730 --> 00:56:25,610
that's yeah I I think that's 
about where I'm at on him. 

889
00:56:25,610 --> 00:56:30,900
OK I I had one more back I 
wanted to talk about on this 

890
00:56:30,900 --> 00:56:36,340
chart before we move on and 
that's is there a more like ho 

891
00:56:36,340 --> 00:56:40,420
hum he's gonna score his fantasy
points back than Ramondre 

892
00:56:40,420 --> 00:56:45,300
Stevenson feels right now like 
doesn't that just feel like yeah

893
00:56:45,300 --> 00:56:49,060
sure I'll take Ramondre and I I 
you know if you were drafting a 

894
00:56:49,580 --> 00:56:51,540
a week three you know best ball 
team. 

895
00:56:51,700 --> 00:56:55,060
Yeah, right now doesn't he 
probably just goes like fourth 

896
00:56:55,060 --> 00:56:57,940
round like I guess I click 
Ramondre Stevenson here kind of 

897
00:56:57,940 --> 00:57:00,170
pick. 
Yeah. 

898
00:57:00,410 --> 00:57:05,890
And I mean, I think Zeke is 
playing a little bit more than 

899
00:57:05,890 --> 00:57:09,890
you're expecting or a little bit
more than I was expecting. 

900
00:57:10,210 --> 00:57:12,490
Like I knew that he was going to
play. 

901
00:57:12,530 --> 00:57:15,930
I I didn't quite realize that he
was going to play that much. 

902
00:57:16,370 --> 00:57:22,090
And but I think that sort of 
like overall thesis for Ram 

903
00:57:22,090 --> 00:57:25,210
Andre where I was drafting, 
drafting him in the Fort. 

904
00:57:25,670 --> 00:57:28,710
And during the offseason I think
that's like still sort of very 

905
00:57:28,710 --> 00:57:35,630
much in play and and I would and
maybe this is hope but I would 

906
00:57:35,630 --> 00:57:39,430
hope that the more Zeke plays 
bad the less he gets played. 

907
00:57:39,870 --> 00:57:42,590
So like Reminders World does get
bigger. 

908
00:57:43,070 --> 00:57:49,910
And then and maybe with some of 
the more encouraging signs from 

909
00:57:50,070 --> 00:57:54,640
from Mac Jones where OK. 
The the offense doesn't have 

910
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:58,720
enough good players to like make
Mac Jones look overall good but 

911
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:04,280
maybe you can keep it going just
enough so that there is 

912
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:10,280
something for reminder to work 
with And but yeah the fact I I 

913
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,760
I'm just thinking true now the 
fact that like it doesn't feel 

914
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:17,960
super live for the New England 
Patriot offensive overall like 

915
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:22,920
really good that that hurts 
reminder a bit and but. 

916
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:26,860
Still I I I think still quite 
interested in the in the four 

917
00:58:26,860 --> 00:58:33,700
rounds where I am. 
Where, where are you? 

918
00:58:33,700 --> 00:58:37,860
On on on James Cook are are you 
are you different? 

919
00:58:37,860 --> 00:58:41,460
Me, I think. 
I think the people that got him 

920
00:58:41,460 --> 00:58:45,500
in, like, you know, the 8th, 9th
round, yeah, got a really good 

921
00:58:45,500 --> 00:58:47,260
price. 
I think the people that chased 

922
00:58:47,260 --> 00:58:48,940
him up to the fifth, they're 
probably not. 

923
00:58:49,700 --> 00:58:52,420
You're not like this. 
Obviously this week he had great

924
00:58:52,420 --> 00:58:54,580
production. 
You're you probably, if you 

925
00:58:54,580 --> 00:58:56,620
drafted him in the fifth, you're
probably telling yourself like, 

926
00:58:56,620 --> 00:58:58,820
it's fine, like you look. 
Yeah, like how good he was. 

927
00:58:59,180 --> 00:59:01,380
But I think what you're gonna 
end up with over the course of 

928
00:59:01,380 --> 00:59:05,220
the season is a guy where the 
5th is probably like a break 

929
00:59:05,220 --> 00:59:07,540
even. 
You know, your best case 

930
00:59:07,540 --> 00:59:10,620
scenario is that that's an 
efficient pricing of him, which,

931
00:59:10,620 --> 00:59:12,860
yeah, that's not really the way 
that I want to. 

932
00:59:13,610 --> 00:59:17,490
I mean, you know, if if I have 
to pick between picking a player

933
00:59:17,490 --> 00:59:19,930
that's efficiently priced or 
picking a player that busted, 

934
00:59:20,250 --> 00:59:22,010
like, yeah, I'll take the 
efficiently priced, yeah, all 

935
00:59:22,010 --> 00:59:24,610
day. 
But that's not what I'm I'm not 

936
00:59:24,610 --> 00:59:27,610
setting out to find all the guys
that are efficiently priced in 

937
00:59:27,610 --> 00:59:30,130
drafts, if that makes sense. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

938
00:59:30,170 --> 00:59:34,490
You're trying to win tournaments
and and and not at unless. 

939
00:59:34,690 --> 00:59:37,930
So unless he he does actually 
work into a decent share of the 

940
00:59:37,930 --> 00:59:41,570
go long role you're it it it 
it's probably not going to be a 

941
00:59:41,570 --> 00:59:45,160
tournament winning pick. 
Yeah I mean it may he he 

942
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,480
definitely for the 8th, 9th 
round price I think that's still

943
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,480
enough room. 
Yeah, yeah, where you That 

944
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,120
should be a tournament winning 
pick, right? 

945
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:58,080
Yeah, totally agreed. 
And is there anybody else? 

946
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,000
I, I, I, I do think we have to 
move on and but. 

947
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,120
Yeah, I think, I think we're 
going to go to the next one. 

948
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:10,400
Yeah, ohh, I mean, I I gotta 
just start us off here. 

949
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,360
I mean, we already saw that 
Kyron's usage was elite, but 

950
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:18,760
yeah, his his expected fantasy 
points is also elite. 

951
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:23,760
Yeah, man, You know what I I'm 
really disappointed that Pat did

952
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,920
not include Kyron Williams in 
his legendary upside articles 

953
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,560
this offseason. 
He just because he didn't have 

954
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:35,240
his cert eye open quite enough. 
Yeah, but man I mean the only 

955
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:39,750
guys that are looking so far 
legitimately live for like a 

956
01:00:39,750 --> 01:00:44,910
legendary upside type season are
Tony Pollard CMC. 

957
01:00:45,150 --> 01:00:48,550
I mean, if Austin Eckler only 
misses one week, Austin Eckler, 

958
01:00:49,430 --> 01:00:53,870
Bijon Robinson and you know, 
maybe maybe briefs for the back 

959
01:00:53,870 --> 01:00:56,910
half of the season and then 
Kyron Williams like. 

960
01:00:58,230 --> 01:01:04,710
Right. 
It's rarefied there for like a 

961
01:01:04,750 --> 01:01:08,650
yeah. 
For such a late round pick it's 

962
01:01:08,770 --> 01:01:14,930
so it's so unusual for this to 
have happened and but in 

963
01:01:14,930 --> 01:01:20,050
hindsight it doesn't feel great 
to have like like it. 

964
01:01:20,570 --> 01:01:23,290
I I wasn't. 
I wasn't particularly against 

965
01:01:23,290 --> 01:01:29,090
Kyron, but I wasn't particularly
like on him and so to speak and 

966
01:01:29,410 --> 01:01:33,570
like looking back when the only 
other back that the the coaches 

967
01:01:33,570 --> 01:01:37,380
liked was Cam makers. 
It it, it doesn't feel great to 

968
01:01:37,380 --> 01:01:40,580
have like not been there 50% 
Kyron. 

969
01:01:41,860 --> 01:01:45,380
Yeah, I I really liked Kyron 
this offseason. 

970
01:01:45,380 --> 01:01:48,980
A lot of people that I follow 
that, you know, I, I think are 

971
01:01:48,980 --> 01:01:50,460
sharp. 
Analysts had pointed me in the 

972
01:01:50,460 --> 01:01:52,820
direction of Kyron and I liked 
him last season. 

973
01:01:53,140 --> 01:01:55,260
I had some kind of loved him. 
Last year, yeah. 

974
01:01:55,260 --> 01:02:00,460
Then we we didn't get to see the
bet play out and earlier in the 

975
01:02:00,460 --> 01:02:04,970
offseason this this is something
where I feel like it's a good 

976
01:02:04,970 --> 01:02:07,650
thing to do in your drafting 
process but it's also something 

977
01:02:07,650 --> 01:02:10,570
where I'm making a note to be 
careful about this next season 

978
01:02:10,570 --> 01:02:14,450
as well. 
But I I really lumped some of 

979
01:02:14,450 --> 01:02:18,010
these players into this 
archetype that I had in my mind 

980
01:02:18,010 --> 01:02:21,370
for them and for Kyron, I had 
put him in this. 

981
01:02:21,650 --> 01:02:23,850
He's probably going to be the 
guy that gets a lot of the 

982
01:02:23,850 --> 01:02:25,490
passing work. 
He's smaller. 

983
01:02:25,490 --> 01:02:27,730
They really like him in that 
role. 

984
01:02:27,730 --> 01:02:30,210
You know Cam Makers probably 
gets the stuff. 

985
01:02:30,210 --> 01:02:32,810
I don't care that Cam Makers is 
getting, he's getting you know, 

986
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,600
16 carries for 50 yards. 
Like who cares? 

987
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,520
Kyron's getting 6 targets or 
whatever and the Rams are going 

988
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:40,880
to be bad and they're going to 
be losing. 

989
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,520
And so I want, you know, I want 
Kyron on full PPR sites. 

990
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:48,360
So I I targeted Kyron more on 
DraftKings and had a little bit 

991
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:52,320
of him on Underdog, but it was 
only 18 rounds on Underdog. 

992
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,360
It's like I'm not so confident 
that I need Kyron here, and I 

993
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:59,640
like him better in full PPR and 
really what I should be doing 

994
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,240
instead of like lumping a player
into this is the archetype. 

995
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,720
This is the only box they fit in
and I'm drafting them like that 

996
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,920
always is. 
I really need to think of like 

997
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,440
the range of their archetypes 
they could. 

998
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,520
In the event. 
Now that I think back to it, 

999
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:21,080
Jacob Sanderson had a pretty 
good article about running backs

1000
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:27,550
as balloons and occupying space 
in an offense which I at first I

1001
01:03:27,550 --> 01:03:30,150
was like man, this this metaphor
we're we're stretching it a 

1002
01:03:30,150 --> 01:03:32,430
little bit. 
But now that I think about it 

1003
01:03:32,430 --> 01:03:35,990
with respect to Kyron, it's 
like, yeah, if I had viewed 

1004
01:03:35,990 --> 01:03:40,270
Kyron through that lens I I 
potentially could have gotten 

1005
01:03:40,270 --> 01:03:44,510
myself onto more Kyron. 
So yeah, just a note that I 

1006
01:03:44,510 --> 01:03:46,190
wanted to make for next season. 
Like don't be. 

1007
01:03:46,190 --> 01:03:50,110
So, yeah, rigid in my definition
of what a back is. 

1008
01:03:50,350 --> 01:03:52,870
Because we don't, we don't know.
Yeah, agreed. 

1009
01:03:53,190 --> 01:03:55,790
And like I hated countermakers 
so much this year. 

1010
01:03:56,540 --> 01:04:00,380
And then like it's like why 
don't why don't I make the jump 

1011
01:04:00,380 --> 01:04:05,500
from I hate Cam makers and Kyron
is the only other back they like

1012
01:04:06,020 --> 01:04:09,780
he goes in the last round like 
and you're right. 

1013
01:04:09,900 --> 01:04:14,100
Like haven't I had this idea of 
like OK like he's not an NFL 

1014
01:04:14,100 --> 01:04:17,100
lotly like his time was really 
bad. 

1015
01:04:17,100 --> 01:04:21,260
He looked bad when he played and
and and and making a note of 

1016
01:04:21,260 --> 01:04:23,620
like, you know, there's there's 
a range of outcomes here. 

1017
01:04:24,500 --> 01:04:27,180
And it is like you only have to 
take them in the 28 rounds. 

1018
01:04:27,940 --> 01:04:36,820
And like, I really like that .1 
of the other ones that I wanted 

1019
01:04:36,820 --> 01:04:40,620
to point out here, we talked 
about his usage a little bit and

1020
01:04:40,980 --> 01:04:43,180
Gretchen stealing signals talked
about this too. 

1021
01:04:43,180 --> 01:04:46,660
But Jacob's efficiency has 
definitely been poor. 

1022
01:04:46,660 --> 01:04:50,310
I mean it wasn't all the way to 
a throw out the tape game 

1023
01:04:50,310 --> 01:04:53,590
against the Bills but it you 
know it was getting close. 

1024
01:04:54,870 --> 01:04:57,550
But yeah that's that's slightly 
concerning for Jacobs. 

1025
01:04:57,550 --> 01:05:02,190
His role is still it looks to be
very good in the offense. 

1026
01:05:02,190 --> 01:05:07,230
So I'm not ready to to say that 
he couldn't easily push himself 

1027
01:05:07,230 --> 01:05:11,030
back up into that you know 20 
expected fantasy point tier. 

1028
01:05:11,030 --> 01:05:14,950
He only he only got like what? 
What was it like 10-11 touches 

1029
01:05:15,550 --> 01:05:18,070
or test? 
Yeah, I think there was only 

1030
01:05:18,190 --> 01:05:21,830
something like only 40 offensive
snaps for the Raiders. 

1031
01:05:22,710 --> 01:05:27,470
Yeah and it's like really low 
and and so he had 30 and 

1032
01:05:27,470 --> 01:05:36,790
expected points and he scored 10
points and this is Week 2 and so

1033
01:05:37,070 --> 01:05:41,750
yeah it it it it is one of those
things where and then. 

1034
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:46,000
In week one he had -11, 1/2, 
most of those from not 

1035
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,480
converting a goal line rush 
attempts. 

1036
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:53,600
So I think there there is 
something there where there's 

1037
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:59,120
been a outlier sort of like 
inefficiency that speaks to 

1038
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:03,320
outlier and stuff like not being
able to convert goal line 

1039
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:07,720
touches that that that's just a 
randomness thing and like unless

1040
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,640
he's terrible now. 
Like you probably would expect 

1041
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:15,200
that to go back to like a more 
average and statistic and then 

1042
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:17,960
you probably would expect the 
Raiders, I think that something 

1043
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:23,000
like 6 yards to play so it 
wasn't awful and them to have a 

1044
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:30,160
closer to a normal amount of 
offensive snaps and so again it 

1045
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:32,640
is. 
I think the main message is that

1046
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:38,360
Jacob's role is still very, very
strong and but. 

1047
01:06:39,010 --> 01:06:42,850
It's like with a player like 
Jacobs, how many, like how many 

1048
01:06:42,850 --> 01:06:46,490
bad efficiency things can you 
like can you handle? 

1049
01:06:46,970 --> 01:06:51,330
Because he's not like he's not 
for his career, he hasn't been 

1050
01:06:51,330 --> 01:06:55,370
this major efficiency guy. 
So I think just just last 

1051
01:06:55,370 --> 01:06:58,130
season, right? 
Like, yeah, just last season was

1052
01:06:58,170 --> 01:07:02,490
not great and so I think if 
you're talking about him as like

1053
01:07:02,490 --> 01:07:07,210
a third, fourth round kick it it
is starting to feel a little bit

1054
01:07:07,210 --> 01:07:10,500
dead zoney. 
And like that that that could 

1055
01:07:10,500 --> 01:07:13,020
turn around next week with how 
good his role is. 

1056
01:07:13,020 --> 01:07:17,940
If the offense plays well and he
converts go line touches the 

1057
01:07:17,940 --> 01:07:21,340
touch sounds could completely 
reverse next year. 

1058
01:07:21,340 --> 01:07:27,220
So I I think the story is this 
it's still out the the jury's 

1059
01:07:27,220 --> 01:07:32,380
still out on Jacobs a little bit
but not as negative as as as 

1060
01:07:32,460 --> 01:07:35,700
maybe it looks but definitely 
starting to get skeptical. 

1061
01:07:36,830 --> 01:07:39,190
Yeah, I think, I think I'm a 
buyer in the fourth round. 

1062
01:07:39,190 --> 01:07:41,910
If he's if he's going in the 
fourth round I'm I'm pretty 

1063
01:07:41,910 --> 01:07:43,270
interested. 
I think the role is good. 

1064
01:07:43,270 --> 01:07:44,350
Yeah. 
Enough that I'm willing to just 

1065
01:07:44,350 --> 01:07:48,390
take a bet that the the early 
season and efficiency stuff for 

1066
01:07:48,390 --> 01:07:52,030
him is just noise and that he 
looks more like he did last 

1067
01:07:52,030 --> 01:07:53,750
season. 
Yeah. 

1068
01:07:54,790 --> 01:07:56,150
Yeah. 
I I think that, I think that's 

1069
01:07:56,150 --> 01:08:00,150
very reasonable. 
Do you wanna move on? 

1070
01:08:00,910 --> 01:08:04,830
Yeah, let's let's keep going 
because we we're we're starting 

1071
01:08:04,830 --> 01:08:07,630
to get a little long winded here
and if we're trying to keep this

1072
01:08:07,630 --> 01:08:10,070
as a tight 90, we gotta get 
moving. 

1073
01:08:10,790 --> 01:08:13,750
So quick refresher on this tight
end utilization chart. 

1074
01:08:14,150 --> 01:08:18,350
This is just the percentage of 
the team's dropbacks. 

1075
01:08:18,830 --> 01:08:22,390
The green is what percent of 
routes did the tight end run and

1076
01:08:22,390 --> 01:08:27,029
the kind of salmonish color is 
what percent of pass blocking 

1077
01:08:27,310 --> 01:08:29,910
snaps do they have on the team's
dropbacks. 

1078
01:08:30,500 --> 01:08:33,660
I mean Durham Smythe is the 
utilization king. 

1079
01:08:34,140 --> 01:08:37,180
That guy. 
That guy is just on the field 

1080
01:08:37,300 --> 01:08:39,660
all the time. 
You you definitely could do 

1081
01:08:39,660 --> 01:08:43,340
worse than Durham Smythe as a 
tight end if he's if he's still 

1082
01:08:43,340 --> 01:08:46,500
on your waiver wire and you're 
languishing at tight end, just 

1083
01:08:46,660 --> 01:08:48,500
get Durham Smythe because at 
least he's out there. 

1084
01:08:48,500 --> 01:08:49,939
At least he's running a lot of 
routes. 

1085
01:08:50,260 --> 01:08:52,700
Right. 
And and and lots of routes is it

1086
01:08:52,700 --> 01:08:56,899
that's the pathway for late 
tight end smashes like those 

1087
01:08:56,899 --> 01:08:59,140
guys who are just on the field 
all the time. 

1088
01:08:59,770 --> 01:09:04,210
Like that that's how you get 
those big late round breakouts 

1089
01:09:04,970 --> 01:09:09,890
and his his target for at run is
really low which I guess is not 

1090
01:09:09,890 --> 01:09:14,970
super surprising given how ho 
hum the offense has been like 

1091
01:09:15,609 --> 01:09:19,649
Tyreke is cooking and Joe and 
Waddell not quite what he was 

1092
01:09:19,649 --> 01:09:26,170
last year but still producing 
big plays still open and but I I

1093
01:09:26,529 --> 01:09:30,970
I I think. 
You will get weeks where at just

1094
01:09:30,970 --> 01:09:34,210
because he's on the field all 
the time where it does feel 

1095
01:09:34,210 --> 01:09:37,649
quite likely that you'll get 
multiple touchdown weeks from S 

1096
01:09:37,649 --> 01:09:39,770
from Smite, you just you don't 
know when it'll happen. 

1097
01:09:40,290 --> 01:09:43,370
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 
I mean in that offense like you 

1098
01:09:43,370 --> 01:09:45,770
can definitely see him getting a
couple, you know, little play 

1099
01:09:45,770 --> 01:09:47,649
action on the goal line type 
deals. 

1100
01:09:49,130 --> 01:09:53,890
Another guy that just jumps off 
the page here is Zach or it's 

1101
01:09:54,450 --> 01:10:01,390
33% targets per route run. 
Now I know that this week I did 

1102
01:10:01,390 --> 01:10:06,790
see more of Trey McBride on the 
field and he he looked halfway 

1103
01:10:06,790 --> 01:10:08,150
decent. 
I was actually looking through 

1104
01:10:08,150 --> 01:10:11,790
some of the PFF grades. 
Trey McBride is like the fifth 

1105
01:10:11,830 --> 01:10:16,430
or sixth highest overall graded 
pass catcher for his for his 

1106
01:10:16,430 --> 01:10:19,710
route running. 
Like not just in tight end like 

1107
01:10:19,710 --> 01:10:25,350
in wide receivers as well. 
So I think what I'm taking away 

1108
01:10:25,350 --> 01:10:30,230
from this is yeah I mean if you 
if you need a tight end you you 

1109
01:10:30,230 --> 01:10:32,030
definitely could do worse than 
Zach Hertz. 

1110
01:10:32,510 --> 01:10:35,670
But for all those best ball 
teams that are holding out hope 

1111
01:10:35,710 --> 01:10:40,510
for you know the Trey McBride 
you know resurgence or not not 

1112
01:10:40,510 --> 01:10:45,550
Resurgence I guess a breakout 
really I I just got so excited 

1113
01:10:45,550 --> 01:10:48,390
from the end of last season 
where we saw some some flashes 

1114
01:10:48,510 --> 01:10:52,350
from Trey McBride. 
But I think there's still hope 

1115
01:10:52,350 --> 01:10:54,070
for that. 
I I think really what you're 

1116
01:10:54,670 --> 01:10:58,630
wanting is you want Zach Hurts 
to get traded and there's really

1117
01:10:58,630 --> 01:11:03,350
no reason for this team to hold 
on to him, but they might. 

1118
01:11:03,390 --> 01:11:07,230
Yeah yeah. 
I think it does very much feel 

1119
01:11:07,230 --> 01:11:13,790
like it's it's it's super it's 
super hard to play Zach Hurts 

1120
01:11:13,790 --> 01:11:19,310
even though that's such like an 
elite role and it it there is 

1121
01:11:19,310 --> 01:11:20,750
pretty good signal here that 
the. 

1122
01:11:21,850 --> 01:11:25,570
That the tight end usage on the 
Cardinals offense is, is is 

1123
01:11:25,610 --> 01:11:31,170
excellent And that if if we got 
a player that we were excited 

1124
01:11:31,170 --> 01:11:36,130
about and you said his name a 
second ago. 

1125
01:11:36,130 --> 01:11:39,010
I can't remember Trey McBride. 
Trey McBride, thank you. 

1126
01:11:39,330 --> 01:11:44,250
If if he was to step into that 
would be very, yeah, very 

1127
01:11:44,250 --> 01:11:50,810
hopeful that you get like a true
like smash season from from 

1128
01:11:50,810 --> 01:11:55,020
McBride. 
And one thing that I'm not 

1129
01:11:55,100 --> 01:11:58,460
sorry, go ahead. 
Oh sorry I cut you off there. 

1130
01:11:58,460 --> 01:12:03,060
2/2 of the guys that I wanted to
point out on the chart here are 

1131
01:12:03,060 --> 01:12:07,420
two of the rookie pass catching 
tight ends and Sam Laporta and 

1132
01:12:07,420 --> 01:12:11,380
Dalton Kincaid. 
They both have good targets per 

1133
01:12:11,380 --> 01:12:14,420
route run rate. 
They both have lower a dots 

1134
01:12:14,420 --> 01:12:18,540
right now. 
The one that I'm I personally 

1135
01:12:18,540 --> 01:12:23,630
just from watching the games for
both of these guys, the ones 

1136
01:12:23,630 --> 01:12:25,990
that I'm a little more concerned
about are Dalton Kincaid. 

1137
01:12:26,390 --> 01:12:30,190
His really look like they're 
just throwing in the ball really

1138
01:12:30,190 --> 01:12:33,150
close to the line of scrimmage. 
Where La Porta. 

1139
01:12:33,470 --> 01:12:36,710
I want to say that his were more
like week one he had a bunch of 

1140
01:12:36,710 --> 01:12:39,710
low a dot stuff and week two he 
had a bunch of kind of normal a 

1141
01:12:39,710 --> 01:12:42,630
dot stuff and so it just is 
balancing out here. 

1142
01:12:42,790 --> 01:12:45,870
I want to, if I'm remembering 
correctly, I think it's Week 1A.

1143
01:12:45,870 --> 01:12:47,750
dot was extremely low for La 
Porta. 

1144
01:12:49,010 --> 01:12:54,050
La Porta looked really good. 
And I initially I was ready to, 

1145
01:12:54,170 --> 01:12:57,290
you know, just when I made the 
chart and I saw Dalton Kincaid's

1146
01:12:57,290 --> 01:12:59,850
numbers, I was like, oh, Dalton 
Kincaid. 

1147
01:12:59,850 --> 01:13:02,250
His snaps are going down. 
Like that's not good. 

1148
01:13:02,690 --> 01:13:05,010
But I do. 
I do think that he's still going

1149
01:13:05,010 --> 01:13:07,530
to get used. 
I think that the team wants to 

1150
01:13:07,530 --> 01:13:09,890
use him. 
I just think that it might take 

1151
01:13:09,890 --> 01:13:13,250
a little longer for him to get 
to that spot for Fantasy where 

1152
01:13:13,250 --> 01:13:17,710
we're super excited about him. 
But yeah, Dawson Knox is 

1153
01:13:17,710 --> 01:13:20,190
definitely going to be 
frustrating for for Dalton 

1154
01:13:20,190 --> 01:13:23,150
Kincaid drafters. 
I know he got a touchdown this 

1155
01:13:23,150 --> 01:13:27,670
week, he's still out there 
running routes and I think 

1156
01:13:27,670 --> 01:13:30,750
Kincaid was down to 60 something
percent snaps this week. 

1157
01:13:31,990 --> 01:13:36,830
So definitely lower than week 
one, but any thoughts on La 

1158
01:13:36,830 --> 01:13:39,030
Porta or Kincaid? 
Yeah. 

1159
01:13:39,070 --> 01:13:43,870
And one thing that I think that 
is interesting for for La Porta.

1160
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,920
Is that so his his targets? 
Sorry. 

1161
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:54,520
His yard per run is it's A well 
in in week one it was 1 1/2 and 

1162
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:59,000
week two was 2.1. 
So even though the a dot is that

1163
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:03,720
is not great he is that he is 
converting those into into 

1164
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,600
better yardage. 
True yards after the catch and 

1165
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:12,000
and and then I guess after catch
efficiency and. 

1166
01:14:13,030 --> 01:14:18,510
And definitely definitely 
encouraged by La Porta and as 

1167
01:14:18,750 --> 01:14:22,630
sort of a rookie tight end he's 
getting this very much start 

1168
01:14:22,670 --> 01:14:27,870
like true starter and level 
snaps and he's among the best 

1169
01:14:27,870 --> 01:14:32,750
for tight ends and in his 
targets per ret run and he's 

1170
01:14:32,750 --> 01:14:36,750
getting even though the aid I 
think the A dot is is in boat 

1171
01:14:36,750 --> 01:14:41,750
weeks actually not at not great 
and but he's able to he's able 

1172
01:14:41,750 --> 01:14:44,010
to. 
Make up for it a little bit with

1173
01:14:44,010 --> 01:14:50,290
yards after the catch and I mean
for him to be at that level in 

1174
01:14:50,290 --> 01:14:54,970
week ones and two as a rookie 
tight end, it is just really, 

1175
01:14:54,970 --> 01:14:58,890
really strong. 
And then if you if if you put in

1176
01:14:58,890 --> 01:15:01,610
like if you mentally put in any 
sort of growth for him as a 

1177
01:15:01,610 --> 01:15:07,970
player as he as he acclimatizes 
the NFL and feels definitely 

1178
01:15:07,970 --> 01:15:12,170
feel super bullish there and for
Kincaid. 

1179
01:15:12,930 --> 01:15:18,850
The problem for Kincaid is that 
he like he has a he has he seems

1180
01:15:18,850 --> 01:15:23,210
to me to have this floor for 
roots just because like they 

1181
01:15:23,290 --> 01:15:27,050
they really want to use them and
and they don't care that Knox's 

1182
01:15:27,050 --> 01:15:29,170
are tied in. 
They really want to use Kincaid 

1183
01:15:30,330 --> 01:15:33,770
a lot as a route runner, as a 
sort of wide receiver, type B 

1184
01:15:34,170 --> 01:15:38,130
and player and. 
But they they. 

1185
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:43,520
It's just impossible to run like
that sort of formation 80% or 

1186
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:45,920
not impossible very very 
difficult to run that sort of 

1187
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:50,160
formation like 80%. 
So your your upside there is 

1188
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:57,840
capped and then his his targets 
per run of 16% is like solid for

1189
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:02,560
a tight end not great and so he 
he'd really have to be like a 

1190
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:08,120
target vacuum on a sort of 
limited snaps and then. 

1191
01:16:09,210 --> 01:16:13,450
A little for for somebody who's 
who's sort of billed as a wide 

1192
01:16:13,450 --> 01:16:18,930
receiver with Ted tight end 
designation a 4.8 a dot super 

1193
01:16:18,930 --> 01:16:21,690
discipline. 
You really do need to see that 

1194
01:16:22,010 --> 01:16:28,090
like at least eight and and 
hopefully like 10 to like really

1195
01:16:28,090 --> 01:16:31,610
smash and and and with all that 
being said I think the one thing

1196
01:16:31,610 --> 01:16:36,170
that that does save him is the 
tight end designation where. 

1197
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:42,080
And you can play in my tight end
and on underdog like even though

1198
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:47,920
maybe probably overpaid just a 
little bit and it's still fine 

1199
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,000
just because tight end is such a
wasteland. 

1200
01:16:50,480 --> 01:16:54,320
And then on FFPC, like those 
that those targets, I think I 

1201
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:56,320
think it was like 6 targets or 
something like that that you got

1202
01:16:56,320 --> 01:17:00,400
last week is like it's still 
like if if you catch those 

1203
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:04,880
that's still like a respectable 
score with the with the premium 

1204
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:09,480
and but. 
It does feel not great from like

1205
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:13,480
a true smash upside which I 
think I think it's a lot easier 

1206
01:17:13,480 --> 01:17:18,320
to see envision the path for Sam
Laporta to get the the that that

1207
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:22,120
sort of upside. 
Yeah well well put definitely 

1208
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:26,360
agree there and that was I mean 
during all of draft season and 

1209
01:17:26,480 --> 01:17:30,080
in the drafts that I did with 
you I I said I'm taking no 

1210
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:33,720
Dalton Kincaid on underdog. 
I I'm only taking him on FFPC 

1211
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:37,180
and tight end premium. 
Yeah because I really I think 

1212
01:17:37,180 --> 01:17:40,300
that if he gets there it's going
to be through that volume and 

1213
01:17:40,340 --> 01:17:44,180
yeah I just want you know and 
and we're actually we're seeing 

1214
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:48,780
it play out for for TJ Hawkinson
in that way super low a dot 

1215
01:17:49,140 --> 01:17:52,060
doesn't matter you're going to 
get a gang of targets and those 

1216
01:17:52,060 --> 01:17:55,740
things are 1.5 when he converts 
on untighted premium. 

1217
01:17:55,740 --> 01:18:00,740
So another guy in that rookie 
vein, Luke Musgrave. 

1218
01:18:01,060 --> 01:18:04,060
Good good A dot good targets per
route run. 

1219
01:18:04,690 --> 01:18:08,490
The the only reason why I'm not 
more excited for Luke Musgrave 

1220
01:18:08,570 --> 01:18:11,370
is just the low volume for that 
offense right? 

1221
01:18:11,370 --> 01:18:15,450
The low number of pass attempts,
which I mean is Luke Musgrave 

1222
01:18:15,770 --> 01:18:19,650
just like free Kyle Pitts. 
Then like we we paid like a 

1223
01:18:19,650 --> 01:18:22,530
seventh round price. 
Sixth round price for Kyle 

1224
01:18:22,530 --> 01:18:27,250
Pitts. 
Luke Musgrave was undrafted for 

1225
01:18:27,330 --> 01:18:30,850
much of the summer. 
Is Luke Musgrave just Discount 

1226
01:18:30,850 --> 01:18:33,290
Kyle Pitts? 
And. 

1227
01:18:34,100 --> 01:18:39,500
Yeah I I I think I think that's 
sort of like that's very sad but

1228
01:18:39,940 --> 01:18:44,900
very very reasonable. 
I I mean the thing with Call 

1229
01:18:44,900 --> 01:18:48,180
Pitts is that like he does have 
access to these types of seasons

1230
01:18:48,180 --> 01:18:50,020
that like most great probably 
doesn't. 

1231
01:18:50,540 --> 01:18:55,300
But right now after two games 
feel very confident that Call 

1232
01:18:55,300 --> 01:18:59,540
Pitts is not getting those 
rightly or wrongly it it feels 

1233
01:18:59,540 --> 01:19:02,380
very certain that Call Pitts is 
not getting the seasons that 

1234
01:19:02,540 --> 01:19:06,680
that you were hoping for. 
Yeah I think on a season wide 

1235
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:09,760
level you're probably not 
getting what you would have 

1236
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:15,320
wanted out of pits. 
I do think that, you know, we 

1237
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:19,000
saw this thesis play out with 
George Kittle last season in the

1238
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:23,400
playoffs, but Kyle Pitts has 
that type of single game ceiling

1239
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:27,400
where he could just be. 
If you don't have Kyle Pitts in,

1240
01:19:27,440 --> 01:19:31,120
you know, say it's week 15, you 
are not advancing, you know, 

1241
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:34,480
it's all the Kyle Pitts teams 
advance and if you didn't have 

1242
01:19:34,480 --> 01:19:40,240
him just, you know, unlucky. 
Because what what we did see in 

1243
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:44,960
week two was the Falcons are not
fully allergic to the pass. 

1244
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:49,160
They can, they can throw the 
ball, you know, some sometimes 

1245
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:51,120
better than others. 
There are a couple not great 

1246
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:56,830
looking passes from Ritter and 
also they did really try to get 

1247
01:19:56,830 --> 01:19:59,270
Kyle Pitts you know on the board
there. 

1248
01:19:59,270 --> 01:20:01,750
They tried to force him the ball
in the end zone there it didn't 

1249
01:20:01,750 --> 01:20:06,670
work out even get his touchdown.
But I I I'm leaving a light on 

1250
01:20:06,670 --> 01:20:10,310
for Kyle Pitts the the single 
game upside is still there but 

1251
01:20:11,390 --> 01:20:15,270
on a season level I'm not super 
excited. 

1252
01:20:15,310 --> 01:20:18,430
So, so where would you be 
drafting Kyle Pitts, you know, 

1253
01:20:18,510 --> 01:20:20,950
on a on a Week 3 tournament 
right now? 

1254
01:20:20,950 --> 01:20:24,200
Where do you take him? 
We treat, we treat and beyond or

1255
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:30,200
or we treat only. 
We treat beyond, beyond, and I 

1256
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:34,560
mean this feels a little bit too
anchored and but I I feel like 

1257
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:36,640
this is 1 where you do want to 
be anchored. 

1258
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:42,160
I'm thinking like 8 rounds. 
OK. 

1259
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:50,300
And where like you know you just
you just never know and it's 

1260
01:20:50,340 --> 01:20:54,460
it's like how much do I wanna 
bet against at call pits season 

1261
01:20:54,460 --> 01:20:56,980
2. 
And it's like maybe the the 

1262
01:20:56,980 --> 01:21:01,900
likelihood of the call pits 
season is small, but if I don't,

1263
01:21:01,900 --> 01:21:05,100
if it happens and I don't have 
it, it's like you said if like 

1264
01:21:05,340 --> 01:21:07,580
it just it'll it would be no 
pits, no money. 

1265
01:21:08,740 --> 01:21:12,460
Yeah, the way that I kinda see 
the tight end landscape shaping 

1266
01:21:12,460 --> 01:21:15,260
up so far with two weeks of data
is. 

1267
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:19,080
You've got those elite got you 
know, you've got Travis Kelsey 

1268
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:25,320
and Mark Andrews, TJ Hawkinson, 
big break then George Kittle 

1269
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:29,200
because we know that he can have
those huge games. 

1270
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,480
He's in a an extremely efficient
offense. 

1271
01:21:31,480 --> 01:21:34,640
He absolutely can have multi TV 
weeks, you know very accessible 

1272
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:39,800
to him and then all those guys 
the, you know the Darren Waller 

1273
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:43,570
the. 
Evan Ingram, the David and Joke 

1274
01:21:43,570 --> 01:21:45,770
who? 
Pat Fryarmuth, Kyle Pitts, all 

1275
01:21:45,770 --> 01:21:50,330
those guys going there, a bunch 
of them like the in Jokeu and 

1276
01:21:50,330 --> 01:21:53,690
Fryarmuth. 
Just take that whole pole all 

1277
01:21:53,690 --> 01:21:56,810
the way down. 
That's like round you know 1213.

1278
01:21:57,050 --> 01:21:59,850
There should be a group. 
A big old chunk of tight ends, 

1279
01:21:59,890 --> 01:22:04,290
basically like rounds 12 through
14, is where a gang of the tight

1280
01:22:04,290 --> 01:22:06,050
ends, they're just a ton should 
go. 

1281
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:08,720
In that range. 
And then you may be like a guy 

1282
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,960
like Evan Ingram and Kyle Pitts.
Those guys probably going like 

1283
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:15,280
the 9th, 10th round. 
Cuz isn't Evan Ingram, just 

1284
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:16,960
isn't Evan Ingram. 
Kyle Pitts. 

1285
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,600
But he's on an offense that 
actually throws the ball right? 

1286
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:24,120
Like he's he's super athletic, 
like past catching tight end. 

1287
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:27,120
You know he's not blocking 
either him look at look at him 

1288
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:29,880
and Kyle Pitt's usage he's he's 
running fewer routes than Kyle 

1289
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:32,520
or running a lower percentage of
yeah, Kyle Pitts. 

1290
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:34,840
But overall that offense is 
passing more. 

1291
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:39,520
His a dot is lower but Evan 
Ingram's always added good good 

1292
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:43,760
after the catch numbers. 
So I think that that's a you 

1293
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:47,080
know Evan Ingram is just Kyle 
Pitts but on offense that can 

1294
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:49,720
pass and he he's, you know less 
talented as a player. 

1295
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:52,280
But it doesn't matter when your 
offense just won't throw the 

1296
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:56,970
ball. 
I agree on all on on on like 

1297
01:22:56,970 --> 01:23:01,690
let's say the the bottom from 
the bottom 25% to the 70 the top

1298
01:23:01,690 --> 01:23:09,250
75% of outcomes like and you you
probably don't feel bad about 

1299
01:23:09,250 --> 01:23:12,810
taking Evan Ingram over Ram and 
Culpits. 

1300
01:23:14,490 --> 01:23:19,490
I just, I feel I I just feel a 
little bit uncomfortable about 

1301
01:23:19,490 --> 01:23:24,170
fading someone where they do 
have that top five, 10% outcome 

1302
01:23:24,530 --> 01:23:30,850
where it's just unstoppable and 
it makes me, it makes me feel 

1303
01:23:31,250 --> 01:23:36,970
very uncomfortable to like pass 
on it and but I could be 

1304
01:23:36,970 --> 01:23:39,050
clinging on to something there 
that is. 

1305
01:23:39,090 --> 01:23:43,850
It's just too, it's too hard to 
get with Eric Schmitt and with 

1306
01:23:43,850 --> 01:23:47,230
them winning games. 
I can definitely see something 

1307
01:23:47,230 --> 01:23:50,510
where like I think that's a 5 to
10% outcome and someone was like

1308
01:23:50,510 --> 01:23:53,630
no that that's a 1% outcome 
that's like a one in a million 

1309
01:23:54,350 --> 01:23:57,030
and so. 
So maybe maybe I'm putting too 

1310
01:23:57,030 --> 01:23:59,750
much weight on. 
I I don't. 

1311
01:23:59,830 --> 01:24:02,430
I don't think you are. 
Because there's a universe where

1312
01:24:02,430 --> 01:24:05,230
Kyle Pitts catches the touchdown
that they really tried to force 

1313
01:24:05,230 --> 01:24:06,870
to him this week. 
And we're all talking about 

1314
01:24:06,870 --> 01:24:09,230
like, my gosh, is Kyle Pitts 
season happening? 

1315
01:24:10,230 --> 01:24:14,150
And I just to take a brief 
detour, yeah, we definitely have

1316
01:24:14,150 --> 01:24:18,910
time for detours in this show. 
But the the concept you talked 

1317
01:24:18,910 --> 01:24:21,710
about of like, oh, I don't 
really want to fade a guy that 

1318
01:24:21,710 --> 01:24:24,590
could bury me like that. 
I think from a game theory 

1319
01:24:24,590 --> 01:24:28,070
perspective, we talk about 
taking stands on guys, being 

1320
01:24:28,070 --> 01:24:30,190
really overweight on guys and 
fading a guy. 

1321
01:24:30,870 --> 01:24:34,630
I feel pretty confident in 
saying that being double. 

1322
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:38,800
The field on a guy is a less 
aggressive stance to take than 

1323
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:43,800
full fading a guy, right? 
And so when you full fade, when 

1324
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:47,960
you 0% a guy like full on, this 
dude's not on any of my teams, 

1325
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:50,520
That's an enormous risk you're 
taking. 

1326
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,720
Because like you said, if that 
is the guy that you need in the 

1327
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,280
playoffs, cuz those weeks happen
where it's yeah, that is just 

1328
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,810
the dude. 
And you have zero. 

1329
01:24:59,810 --> 01:25:02,810
Literally zero. 
That can be the whole season for

1330
01:25:02,810 --> 01:25:04,250
you. 
The season is now over. 

1331
01:25:04,290 --> 01:25:07,170
You know, it was Week 15. 
You had no Naji Harris. 

1332
01:25:07,290 --> 01:25:10,970
He fell in the end zone four 
times and now Felix is winning 

1333
01:25:10,970 --> 01:25:13,650
BBM four and Eagles took second 
place. 

1334
01:25:13,850 --> 01:25:16,450
And you're wanting to drink 
bleach, you know, like. 

1335
01:25:16,850 --> 01:25:21,050
But yeah, I think a full fade on
a guy like Kyle Pitts, that can 

1336
01:25:21,050 --> 01:25:24,410
really bury you. 
Is an extremely aggressive 

1337
01:25:24,450 --> 01:25:27,810
stance to take and I don't think
people view fades in that light.

1338
01:25:28,010 --> 01:25:31,170
And that's something that I 
think that you know if you're 

1339
01:25:31,330 --> 01:25:33,410
taking this seriously and 
building out a really big 

1340
01:25:33,410 --> 01:25:36,690
portfolio you should really 
strongly consider that a full 

1341
01:25:36,690 --> 01:25:41,370
fade is an extremely aggressive 
position in a portfolio that 

1342
01:25:41,850 --> 01:25:46,410
that's and I mean I'm not trying
to say that I don't want to say 

1343
01:25:46,410 --> 01:25:51,590
what I'm trying to I'm like I'm 
very and how do I say it I'm 

1344
01:25:51,630 --> 01:25:56,110
very anxious about pushing them 
back too much and pits back too 

1345
01:25:56,110 --> 01:25:58,910
much. 
And but I I did think that was a

1346
01:25:58,910 --> 01:26:03,150
really interesting way of 
describing how to build 

1347
01:26:03,150 --> 01:26:06,990
portfolios and and and that's 
definitely made me think I I'm 

1348
01:26:06,990 --> 01:26:10,950
I'm more nervous than I should 
be now about about full fading. 

1349
01:26:12,190 --> 01:26:15,750
I I I'd still do it again, but 
that is a good way to think 

1350
01:26:15,750 --> 01:26:18,570
about it. 
I think I got two Nachi teams 

1351
01:26:18,570 --> 01:26:20,650
they're both like in the 5th and
6th round. 

1352
01:26:20,650 --> 01:26:25,330
So we'll take those and all 
right let's I I think one thing 

1353
01:26:25,330 --> 01:26:28,650
I should I point point out here 
is that there's a couple of 

1354
01:26:28,650 --> 01:26:32,370
players here where if we were 
only looking at week two it 

1355
01:26:32,370 --> 01:26:36,450
would look much better. 
So at Darren Waller and if you 

1356
01:26:36,450 --> 01:26:39,330
just look at week two and you 
throw out the the weird the 

1357
01:26:39,330 --> 01:26:42,930
weird game with the against the 
Cowboys and he would be at an 

1358
01:26:42,930 --> 01:26:48,650
89% root share and we mentioned 
last week had the injury he had 

1359
01:26:48,650 --> 01:26:55,130
an 88% root share last night and
and then called sorry George 

1360
01:26:55,130 --> 01:26:59,650
Kittle and this is probably 
because of the the Ayuk injury 

1361
01:26:59,970 --> 01:27:05,450
he had an 86% root share last 
week and and I wouldn't normally

1362
01:27:05,450 --> 01:27:09,690
throw out one game at root 
shares but just bear I guess I 

1363
01:27:09,690 --> 01:27:13,370
guess somebody's the bear in 
mind given our low sample size 

1364
01:27:13,860 --> 01:27:16,220
that some of these players could
jump quite a bit. 

1365
01:27:17,180 --> 01:27:20,460
Yeah, that's a really good point
and it's just, yeah, we need to 

1366
01:27:20,660 --> 01:27:22,460
consider the context of the 
data. 

1367
01:27:22,740 --> 01:27:26,740
Just aggregating 2 weeks and 
saying this is what it is is not

1368
01:27:26,740 --> 01:27:30,340
gonna be as helpful in cases 
where the situation was 

1369
01:27:30,340 --> 01:27:33,140
drastically different might be 
closer to the mean outcome, 

1370
01:27:33,780 --> 01:27:42,940
right? 
And I think we will probably go 

1371
01:27:43,020 --> 01:27:45,420
through the the back tight end 
shirt quickly. 

1372
01:27:45,420 --> 01:27:48,180
Travis Kelsey obviously don't 
expect him to be on the backup 

1373
01:27:48,180 --> 01:27:53,780
shirt for a full season and 35% 
target threat run probably 

1374
01:27:53,780 --> 01:27:56,540
because of the the few routes 
that he ran. 

1375
01:27:57,460 --> 01:28:04,700
And and then I I did note that I
saw that Gretchen noted in 

1376
01:28:04,780 --> 01:28:09,500
stealing signals that Everett he
actually ran quite a bit behind 

1377
01:28:09,500 --> 01:28:14,820
Parham last week and so Everett 
was was the guy ahead in week 

1378
01:28:14,820 --> 01:28:17,780
one and then Param was the guy 
ahead in week two. 

1379
01:28:18,220 --> 01:28:22,380
So that that that definitely 
seems like it either Param has 

1380
01:28:22,380 --> 01:28:29,180
just made it his his tight end 
and spot, or if those guys are 

1381
01:28:29,180 --> 01:28:31,900
going to flip flop on roots like
that week to week. 

1382
01:28:31,900 --> 01:28:34,460
That makes it very difficult to 
to trust one. 

1383
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:39,480
Yeah I mean and and even though 
Gerald Everett got out to out 

1384
01:28:39,480 --> 01:28:42,880
snapped by Parum he did have a 
couple plays where he looked 

1385
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:46,400
good. 
But yeah it's not it's not a 

1386
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:49,320
place where I'm super excited. 
I mean definitely in season long

1387
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:52,200
fantasy I don't know how you 
ever have the confidence to like

1388
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,000
unless it's like a break glass 
in case of emergency thing like 

1389
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:59,560
how do you have the confidence 
to fire up Everett in best ball.

1390
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:02,200
I think it'll be OK. 
I think Everett is kind of. 

1391
01:29:03,180 --> 01:29:06,220
He's like cut from the same 
cloth that Noah Fant is. 

1392
01:29:06,220 --> 01:29:10,140
He's not quite as athletic, but 
he's very athletic, yeah. 

1393
01:29:10,700 --> 01:29:16,500
Probably not quite as good, but 
are you drafting him like a 

1394
01:29:16,500 --> 01:29:21,060
couple of rounds ahead of Parum?
I think they're probably players

1395
01:29:21,060 --> 01:29:23,860
where the Adps should have been 
much closer. 

1396
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:29,120
Yeah now like if I were to jump 
in a draft right now, I would 

1397
01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:32,280
probably they they both would be
like eighteenth round tight ends

1398
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:34,840
for me and I yeah, randomize. 
I just pick pick. 

1399
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:38,720
Whichever we did. 
We got a question in the chat 

1400
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:42,960
that I wanted to go back to for 
can we expect Jake Ferguson's 

1401
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:45,520
routes to increase as the season
goes on? 

1402
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,640
And I saw this one earlier but 
we were on the the starter tight

1403
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:51,980
end Page I. 
I kind of think no. 

1404
01:29:52,700 --> 01:29:56,900
And here's why it the Cowboys 
did this last season when when 

1405
01:29:56,900 --> 01:30:02,180
they had Schultz there in that 
they really like their they're 

1406
01:30:02,180 --> 01:30:06,260
tied in room while you know you,
the household names of Peyton 

1407
01:30:06,260 --> 01:30:08,540
Hendershot and now Luke 
Schumacher. 

1408
01:30:08,540 --> 01:30:11,820
Like, you might not have heard 
of them, but the Cowboys like 

1409
01:30:11,820 --> 01:30:15,100
them and and they're like 
interested in getting all of 

1410
01:30:15,100 --> 01:30:17,560
them involved. 
And they view all of them as 

1411
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:20,320
weapons, like they're 
manufacturing touches for Peyton

1412
01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:23,000
Hendershot, they're 
manufacturing touches for Luke 

1413
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:24,600
Schumacher when they get on the 
field. 

1414
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:27,680
It's not to say that like 
they're going to get a ton of 

1415
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:30,920
volume and opportunity, but just
that, like, Jake Ferguson is 

1416
01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:33,760
going to have trouble 
consolidating the role in the 

1417
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:37,120
way that Dalton Schultz did. 
And I don't think that it's 

1418
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:41,360
because Schultz is necessarily 
like this world's better talent 

1419
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:45,440
than Ferguson is. 
But I just think that it's they,

1420
01:30:45,440 --> 01:30:48,120
like all of these guys, they 
spent high draft capital on 

1421
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:50,120
Schumacher. 
I would expect over the course 

1422
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:52,320
of the season, Schumacher to 
take a step forward. 

1423
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:55,560
I do still think that Ferguson 
is the one that you want to have

1424
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:59,680
for fantasy, but it'll be 
interesting to see. 

1425
01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:03,480
You know, the Cowboys really 
haven't had a game where they've

1426
01:31:03,480 --> 01:31:07,480
been forced to pass a lot more. 
And I I do think that Ferguson 

1427
01:31:07,480 --> 01:31:10,920
could end up getting more 
opportunity in a game script 

1428
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:14,200
like that. 
But the real take away for me 

1429
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:17,080
for Cowboys is gonna come when 
we get to the wide receiver 

1430
01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:19,320
chart. 
We'll just leave that clear 

1431
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:22,440
finger there. 
True, true, Not quite a boots on

1432
01:31:22,440 --> 01:31:28,080
the grounds, but true fan take 
mixed with analytics. 

1433
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:33,320
I don't think you'll get a more 
informed opinion on the Cowboys 

1434
01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:36,000
tight ends We wanna do. 
All the analytical stuff we 

1435
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:38,520
wanna pay attention to the 
metrics that can be really 

1436
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:40,880
telling for us. 
But when we get that little bit 

1437
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:45,560
of qualitative analysis in there
too, that's not overwhelmingly 

1438
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:47,800
Homer. 
That's how we how we put out the

1439
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:52,200
quality stuff for you guys 
really disappointed in this in 

1440
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:53,920
this usage. 
So for Michael Meyer yeah. 

1441
01:31:54,480 --> 01:31:56,080
Was really excited about this 
year. 

1442
01:31:57,880 --> 01:31:59,880
Yeah. 
Really really strong. 

1443
01:31:59,880 --> 01:32:02,160
Yeah. 
Rookie profile going in as a 

1444
01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:07,340
rookie and but very 
disappointing saying that 6% 

1445
01:32:07,340 --> 01:32:08,940
targets were at running the 2 
yard. 

1446
01:32:08,980 --> 01:32:11,700
A dot Yeah pour pour some out 
for Michael. 

1447
01:32:11,700 --> 01:32:13,380
My It's not happened in this 
season. 

1448
01:32:13,460 --> 01:32:16,540
For Michael, I think it got 
rookie tight end on this. 

1449
01:32:16,940 --> 01:32:23,140
Yeah unfortunately. 
And so yeah, as you will do the 

1450
01:32:23,140 --> 01:32:27,500
two, let's let's hit the yeah, 
the white zebra chart and just 

1451
01:32:27,500 --> 01:32:30,140
like we all expected how we were
all. 

1452
01:32:30,140 --> 01:32:34,210
Drafting it. 
Puka and Akua is the alpha of 

1453
01:32:34,210 --> 01:32:40,810
all alphas. 
I mean, holy shit guys like I 

1454
01:32:41,090 --> 01:32:44,770
I've gotta believe that it comes
back down to earth a little bit.

1455
01:32:46,090 --> 01:32:52,210
But maybe that's just copium. 
Since I have so little Puka and 

1456
01:32:52,210 --> 01:32:53,930
I I have to share with this 
little bit. 

1457
01:32:53,930 --> 01:32:56,530
I went back. 
I have some buddies that I do 

1458
01:32:56,530 --> 01:32:59,290
FFPC drafts with. 
I went back through our group 

1459
01:32:59,290 --> 01:33:02,420
text and. 
Because I I remember being on 

1460
01:33:02,420 --> 01:33:04,740
Puka early. 
I was I was leading the charge. 

1461
01:33:04,740 --> 01:33:06,460
I was carrying the banner for 
Puka. 

1462
01:33:06,980 --> 01:33:10,060
I look back at a text on June 
3rd where I just pounded the 

1463
01:33:10,060 --> 01:33:13,180
table and I was like we are 
taking Puka as our late round 

1464
01:33:13,180 --> 01:33:15,540
dark throw here. 
We need him as the bring back to

1465
01:33:15,540 --> 01:33:19,340
our giant stack and so we took 
Puka on June 3rd. 

1466
01:33:19,900 --> 01:33:23,660
Then just a couple weeks later 
June 30th and less bullish on 

1467
01:33:23,660 --> 01:33:26,980
Puka, I say I put both Puka and 
Tutu in the queue. 

1468
01:33:27,220 --> 01:33:30,100
I'm gonna use random.org to 
randomize between the two of 

1469
01:33:30,100 --> 01:33:33,170
them. 
And then Fast forward to August 

1470
01:33:33,170 --> 01:33:37,610
26th and my buddy asks do we 
want another puka share here? 

1471
01:33:38,010 --> 01:33:40,810
And I said something to the 
effect of I'm not terribly 

1472
01:33:40,810 --> 01:33:45,570
interested in the wide receiver 
4 on the Rams and that that one 

1473
01:33:45,570 --> 01:33:47,810
just stung. 
My takes regressed over the 

1474
01:33:47,810 --> 01:33:49,490
summer. 
I think I just need to stick to 

1475
01:33:49,530 --> 01:33:54,730
only drafting in June when I if 
you can just take your your best

1476
01:33:54,730 --> 01:33:58,290
opinions from June, combine them
with your best opinions with all

1477
01:33:58,290 --> 01:34:02,490
other months of the summer you 
you've got a monster. 

1478
01:34:03,490 --> 01:34:06,370
Yeah, I I I think though like 
hindsight. 

1479
01:34:07,330 --> 01:34:12,810
Unless, unless you had the 
knowledge of Cooper Cup is 

1480
01:34:12,810 --> 01:34:15,970
injured, so you're in. 
August Cooper Cooper Cup is 

1481
01:34:16,010 --> 01:34:18,490
injured. 
And then maybe you're paying a 

1482
01:34:18,490 --> 01:34:22,130
lot of attention to the idea 
that like, oh, Stafford is 

1483
01:34:22,130 --> 01:34:24,810
really healthy this year. 
He doesn't have any elbow issues

1484
01:34:24,930 --> 01:34:28,360
like. 
And then you, you, you, you 

1485
01:34:28,480 --> 01:34:31,880
picture this in your head of 
like, OK, prime Stafford and 

1486
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:33,200
then they have to try to 
someone. 

1487
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:39,760
And then maybe you get an idea 
that like like I I think if you 

1488
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:45,280
asked me in July if Puka Nakula 
would have been an 85 to 90% 

1489
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:48,920
route share guy for the Rams, I 
I I think that would have been 

1490
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:50,520
quite actually quite a surprise 
and. 

1491
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:53,360
Right. 
Yeah, that's. 

1492
01:34:54,530 --> 01:34:57,410
No, you're you're you're right. 
You know there's no. 

1493
01:34:58,850 --> 01:35:02,330
Even the person with the biggest
Pooka bags did did not think 

1494
01:35:02,330 --> 01:35:06,410
that he was going to be 85 to 
90% route share, dropping you 

1495
01:35:06,410 --> 01:35:10,810
know 25 fantasy points a game. 
By the way, my OCD is going to 

1496
01:35:10,810 --> 01:35:13,490
kill me, but we've still got 
Aaron's message hanging out 

1497
01:35:13,490 --> 01:35:15,650
there on the screen. 
Oh, oh, you're right, you're 

1498
01:35:15,650 --> 01:35:16,930
right, right. 
I forgot about. 

1499
01:35:17,050 --> 01:35:20,050
I knew. 
So I've got a I've got ADHC. 

1500
01:35:20,090 --> 01:35:22,970
I knew, and I knew I was going 
to forget about it. 

1501
01:35:23,010 --> 01:35:24,890
I was like, don't go off the 
screen. 

1502
01:35:24,930 --> 01:35:27,450
And then when we flipped to the 
chart, I just forgot about it. 

1503
01:35:27,770 --> 01:35:30,290
That's OK We just we wanted to 
give Aaron some love there. 

1504
01:35:30,690 --> 01:35:33,170
But I. 
It dovetailing from that message

1505
01:35:33,170 --> 01:35:36,570
about Jake Ferguson will get to 
the point that I wanted to make 

1506
01:35:36,570 --> 01:35:40,930
about why Jake Ferguson, you 
know, even if he did run more 

1507
01:35:40,930 --> 01:35:45,970
routes, is not going to be quite
the smash that all of the Jake 

1508
01:35:45,970 --> 01:35:49,290
Ferguson bag holders myself is 
that the captain of the club 

1509
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:52,640
wanted him to be. 
And that's because CD Lamb is a 

1510
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:56,040
motherfucking alpha. 
CD Lamb is. 

1511
01:35:56,360 --> 01:36:00,000
You see where he is in this 
quadrant, You're going to see 

1512
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:03,560
him move up and to the right. 
The Cowboys game scripts. 

1513
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:07,360
These first couple games have 
not really required a ton of 

1514
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:12,200
passing and he still earned 14 
targets this week. 

1515
01:36:12,440 --> 01:36:15,560
Like this guy is going to eat 
this is. 

1516
01:36:16,610 --> 01:36:20,050
The the Cowboys offense didn't 
change all that much from Kellan

1517
01:36:20,050 --> 01:36:23,930
Moore departing, but in the 
subtle ways that it did change, 

1518
01:36:23,930 --> 01:36:27,930
it became even more like what we
saw from some of the older Mike 

1519
01:36:27,930 --> 01:36:32,090
McCarthy offenses where that 
wide receiver won. 

1520
01:36:32,090 --> 01:36:36,450
Just feast the, you know, the 
Jordy Nelson, the Devante Adams 

1521
01:36:36,450 --> 01:36:41,690
and CD Lam operating as the 
power slot in an NFL meta where 

1522
01:36:41,690 --> 01:36:44,490
it's too high safety. 
We refuse to give you explosive 

1523
01:36:44,490 --> 01:36:47,130
plays. 
Yeah, this guy's gonna feast. 

1524
01:36:47,730 --> 01:36:52,250
And I mean, he's right next to 
the guy that you know fits the 

1525
01:36:52,250 --> 01:36:53,770
same archetype. 
Amman, Ross St. 

1526
01:36:53,770 --> 01:36:55,490
Brown, both both of those 
players. 

1527
01:36:55,490 --> 01:36:58,370
I'm very excited for this 
season. 

1528
01:36:59,890 --> 01:37:01,450
Yeah. 
I mean pretty pretty much 

1529
01:37:01,450 --> 01:37:04,130
everyone in this. 
The, the biggest surprise to me 

1530
01:37:04,130 --> 01:37:06,250
is Michael Pittman's target 
earning ability. 

1531
01:37:06,250 --> 01:37:08,210
I mean, he always had been 
pretty heavily targeted. 

1532
01:37:08,810 --> 01:37:14,170
But yeah, I I think the first 
two weeks what we've seen has 

1533
01:37:14,170 --> 01:37:16,300
been. 
Much more bullish than I 

1534
01:37:16,300 --> 01:37:19,860
anticipated for Michael Pittman.
So that was that was kind of 

1535
01:37:19,860 --> 01:37:22,180
surprising to me. 
Did you have any big surprises 

1536
01:37:22,180 --> 01:37:26,940
for you on this chart and 
obviously we know at T Higgins 

1537
01:37:26,940 --> 01:37:32,580
played quite well and but seeing
him in the alpha portion of the 

1538
01:37:32,580 --> 01:37:36,500
of the chart where he's like 
he's like just above 70% 

1539
01:37:36,500 --> 01:37:42,300
weighted targets per ret run and
is that that's a little 

1540
01:37:42,300 --> 01:37:46,650
surprising and and and and 
because I know that like 

1541
01:37:46,650 --> 01:37:50,410
everybody sort of like went into
the season expecting Jamar Chase

1542
01:37:50,810 --> 01:37:55,090
to be like the true target error
and and he's sitting back there 

1543
01:37:55,250 --> 01:38:02,650
at 50% and and I mean I don't 
expect that to to hold for the 

1544
01:38:02,650 --> 01:38:06,930
full season for T Higgins to be 
20% ahead and wait waited 

1545
01:38:06,930 --> 01:38:12,890
targets right run and but with 
the heavy cut again heavy caveat

1546
01:38:12,890 --> 01:38:16,570
that and you you sort of want 
Burrow to be back playing 

1547
01:38:16,570 --> 01:38:22,690
healthy and and playing well and
that that over a full year if 

1548
01:38:22,690 --> 01:38:27,130
like you get a season where T 
Higgins is like is a true 1B 

1549
01:38:27,130 --> 01:38:32,410
rather than one and two and I I 
I think he's that he's really 

1550
01:38:32,410 --> 01:38:37,330
honestly a great pick there at 
the two tree turn and same with 

1551
01:38:37,330 --> 01:38:41,020
a lava I don't think that's a 
surprise there at all but still 

1552
01:38:41,020 --> 01:38:45,140
noteworthy that olave is at 80% 
way to target spirit run like I 

1553
01:38:45,140 --> 01:38:49,980
think he was like he was top I 
think it was two he was a lave 

1554
01:38:49,980 --> 01:38:52,460
was second to Tyriq in way to 
target. 

1555
01:38:52,460 --> 01:38:57,460
Spirit run as a rookie, so and 
interesting at least. 

1556
01:38:57,460 --> 01:39:00,260
Interesting that he's sort of 
following that up with still 

1557
01:39:00,260 --> 01:39:05,980
strong target earning ability 
and go ahead the The biggest 

1558
01:39:05,980 --> 01:39:10,170
concern for me with Olave is. 
I really thought the Saints 

1559
01:39:10,170 --> 01:39:14,330
might come out and just 
absolutely do it to the Panthers

1560
01:39:14,370 --> 01:39:17,730
and that game was a little 
disappointing. 

1561
01:39:19,290 --> 01:39:22,490
I I I don't know. 
You know, maybe it's just one 

1562
01:39:22,490 --> 01:39:26,290
week noise, but the Saints 
offense was not what you you 

1563
01:39:26,490 --> 01:39:29,570
know, if you're a Chris Olave 
owner, you're right. 

1564
01:39:29,650 --> 01:39:33,410
You were hoping their car primed
their car and and they and they 

1565
01:39:33,410 --> 01:39:35,130
can they can actually choke the 
ball. 

1566
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:38,240
Yeah, but. 
But I mean in hindsight looking 

1567
01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:40,800
at that 2/3. 
Turn really that that whole 

1568
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:44,240
second round. 
I mean like basically the only 

1569
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:47,680
draftable running back in the 
entire second round was Tony 

1570
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:49,600
Pollard. 
And otherwise you should have 

1571
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:54,120
been taking, you know, Chris 
Olave, T Higgins, Devonta Smith,

1572
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:56,960
Jalen Waddell. 
Like all all of those were way 

1573
01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:58,920
outer picks of the running backs
going there. 

1574
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:04,040
Yeah, I I agree. 
I definitely think. 

1575
01:40:05,050 --> 01:40:08,210
Oh, another one that stood out. 
I mean, he just, if you watch 

1576
01:40:08,210 --> 01:40:12,410
the game, he popped off the 
screen on his big breakaway 

1577
01:40:12,410 --> 01:40:14,730
play. 
He displayed speed. 

1578
01:40:14,730 --> 01:40:17,010
That, I don't think. 
Who got the theme from him? 

1579
01:40:17,210 --> 01:40:19,330
George Pickens. 
Yeah. 

1580
01:40:19,410 --> 01:40:20,690
And that was it. 
That was it. 

1581
01:40:20,770 --> 01:40:22,050
I only saw how to play that was 
an. 

1582
01:40:22,130 --> 01:40:27,050
Awesome, awesome play and we I I
haven't seen a play from him in 

1583
01:40:27,050 --> 01:40:31,010
the NFL where we got to see him 
really open it up and display 

1584
01:40:31,010 --> 01:40:34,950
that speed. 
Holy cow I I wanna see the mph 

1585
01:40:34,950 --> 01:40:38,230
from him on that one. 
Cuz he was gone when he when he 

1586
01:40:38,230 --> 01:40:42,310
saw daylight he was absolutely 
out of there and he this, this 

1587
01:40:42,310 --> 01:40:46,630
is what George Pickens needed to
break out is we needed target 

1588
01:40:46,630 --> 01:40:49,550
earner extraordinaire Deontay 
Johnson out of the way for a 

1589
01:40:49,550 --> 01:40:51,830
little bit. 
So they didn't have a choice but

1590
01:40:51,910 --> 01:40:55,990
to give Pickens targets and I 
think that this is the path. 

1591
01:40:55,990 --> 01:40:58,830
Like if you're going to get the 
holy shit Pickens as a league 

1592
01:40:58,830 --> 01:41:02,510
winner type outcome, this is the
path you need to be on. 

1593
01:41:02,990 --> 01:41:06,150
It's not looking terribly 
optimistic because that offense 

1594
01:41:06,150 --> 01:41:10,750
doesn't look great. 
Matt Canada is not calling plays

1595
01:41:10,750 --> 01:41:13,510
the way you would really want. 
I I think what you're really 

1596
01:41:13,510 --> 01:41:17,470
hoping for is George Pickens and
Kenny Pickett just developed 

1597
01:41:17,470 --> 01:41:21,420
such chemistry that the the play
calls don't they cease to 

1598
01:41:21,420 --> 01:41:23,940
matter. 
The two guys are just on such a 

1599
01:41:23,940 --> 01:41:28,060
level where and Pickens is such 
a good wide receiver that 

1600
01:41:28,140 --> 01:41:31,660
they're just gonna produce those
two are gonna produce. 

1601
01:41:32,300 --> 01:41:33,700
So I think that's a good call 
out. 

1602
01:41:34,780 --> 01:41:36,260
I think that's a good call out 
that. 

1603
01:41:37,860 --> 01:41:39,500
What's his name? 
What's who do you go to? 

1604
01:41:39,500 --> 01:41:41,540
Wide receiver? 
Sorry, Deontay. 

1605
01:41:42,060 --> 01:41:45,180
Deonte I think that that he was 
missing and but. 

1606
01:41:45,580 --> 01:41:49,300
Really interesting to see him 
in, in this high, yeah, weighted

1607
01:41:49,300 --> 01:41:53,380
targets were at run and section 
because that was always a sort 

1608
01:41:53,380 --> 01:41:57,100
of knock with him was that he, 
he wasn't quote UN quote earning

1609
01:41:57,100 --> 01:42:00,620
targets and then he his open 
score and all that sort of stuff

1610
01:42:00,860 --> 01:42:04,300
was low. 
And so to see him actually get 

1611
01:42:04,300 --> 01:42:07,100
up there that that's what you're
looking for, for him getting 

1612
01:42:07,100 --> 01:42:10,900
these deep targets for him to be
targeted at at a decent rate. 

1613
01:42:11,370 --> 01:42:16,330
He got 9 targets last night and 
and converted those. 

1614
01:42:16,330 --> 01:42:21,290
He had four 4.2 yards forever on
and 110 area yards. 

1615
01:42:21,490 --> 01:42:23,090
Go. 
Sorry, go ahead, you're you're 

1616
01:42:23,090 --> 01:42:27,090
good to add context to the data 
of prior to last night, when 

1617
01:42:27,090 --> 01:42:30,250
Deontay Johnson was on the field
in week one, and then also all 

1618
01:42:30,250 --> 01:42:34,490
last season, the reason that 
Pickens open score was poor, the

1619
01:42:34,490 --> 01:42:38,010
reason that he wasn't earning 
targets at a high rate, is by 

1620
01:42:38,010 --> 01:42:40,570
design. 
The offense was intentionally 

1621
01:42:40,570 --> 01:42:43,890
using him as the cardio boy. 
You know clear it out. 

1622
01:42:43,890 --> 01:42:46,610
Hey run right. 
I think he ran the 9 route at 

1623
01:42:46,610 --> 01:42:50,410
the highest rate of any wide. 
I I I might be making this up 

1624
01:42:50,410 --> 01:42:52,890
but I know it was very high. 
He might be the high. 

1625
01:42:52,930 --> 01:42:56,170
I think last season it was the 
highest rate of nine routes was 

1626
01:42:56,170 --> 01:42:59,730
George Pickens and it's like 
yeah, the dude is a contested 

1627
01:42:59,730 --> 01:43:02,570
catch freak. 
Like if we are gonna throw it at

1628
01:43:02,570 --> 01:43:04,810
him when he's running all these 
nine routes that's fine. 

1629
01:43:04,810 --> 01:43:07,010
But they weren't even throwing 
it to him. 

1630
01:43:07,010 --> 01:43:10,590
He the the design of the offense
was George Pickens is an 

1631
01:43:10,590 --> 01:43:13,670
afterthought. 
And you know, occasionally we'll

1632
01:43:13,670 --> 01:43:17,350
throw him a pass. 
And so just when you have an 

1633
01:43:17,350 --> 01:43:20,110
offense being run that 
incompetently, we're like very 

1634
01:43:20,110 --> 01:43:24,550
clearly after after just one 
game, like, yeah, this is the 

1635
01:43:24,550 --> 01:43:26,910
guy that they probably should 
have been throwing the ball to 

1636
01:43:26,910 --> 01:43:28,790
or not. 
Not that Deonte's a bad receiver

1637
01:43:28,790 --> 01:43:31,430
by any means. 
But like, if you had to pick, 

1638
01:43:31,590 --> 01:43:33,390
who do you want touching the 
ball more? 

1639
01:43:33,430 --> 01:43:35,630
Do you want George Pickens 
touching the ball more or do you

1640
01:43:35,630 --> 01:43:38,230
want Deonte Johnson touching the
ball more like you want George 

1641
01:43:38,230 --> 01:43:41,230
Pickens. 
So when you force a bad 

1642
01:43:41,230 --> 01:43:45,350
offensive coordinator to come 
correct with how he's running 

1643
01:43:45,350 --> 01:43:48,830
his offense and and distributing
the ball to his best players, 

1644
01:43:49,630 --> 01:43:51,750
maybe that's the path you needed
for Pickens. 

1645
01:43:52,270 --> 01:43:54,630
Yeah, I do think that's 
interesting, where he played so 

1646
01:43:54,630 --> 01:43:58,550
well. 
And then Deonte's out for a 

1647
01:43:58,550 --> 01:44:03,830
little while that maybe Pickens 
plays so well that Canada has to

1648
01:44:03,830 --> 01:44:09,630
say ohh shit like I I I I just 
because Deonte's back doesn't 

1649
01:44:09,630 --> 01:44:13,950
mean like I can I can I can just
put this guy back to to what it 

1650
01:44:13,950 --> 01:44:16,670
was before. 
And then even if he does that 

1651
01:44:17,030 --> 01:44:19,470
Pickens is like, what the hell? 
Like I just followed out. 

1652
01:44:19,470 --> 01:44:21,630
Please let me continue to do 
that. 

1653
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:24,400
Like that. 
It definitely feels very bullish

1654
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:28,440
for like a Pickens upside season
that he's able to put in a 

1655
01:44:28,440 --> 01:44:32,240
performance like that. 
Anyone else on this chart that 

1656
01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:35,640
you wanted to to talk about 
before we move on to the next 

1657
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:40,120
one? 
And yeah, and and Datsun. 

1658
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:44,480
Is a little disappointing there 
and with how well that Hallow 

1659
01:44:44,480 --> 01:44:49,020
has played and but. 
Don't want to read in too much 

1660
01:44:49,020 --> 01:44:52,940
to it we we still only have a 
two game sample size and the 

1661
01:44:52,940 --> 01:44:57,060
fact that hell is playing 
decently well and you do hope 

1662
01:44:57,060 --> 01:45:02,020
that that that can improve but 
I'm I'm that that's definitely 

1663
01:45:02,020 --> 01:45:05,420
something where I'm like that's 
a bit surprising to me with how 

1664
01:45:05,460 --> 01:45:11,540
excited we were about him wanna 
keep an eye on that on on him 

1665
01:45:11,540 --> 01:45:15,180
having such a low weighted 
targets per ret run Datsun. 

1666
01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:20,720
And. 
That's Is there anybody else you

1667
01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:24,080
want to talk about? 
I mean, Alec Pierce full on 

1668
01:45:24,080 --> 01:45:26,320
Cardio Club. 
Like the definition of cardio 

1669
01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:29,120
club. 
That's eighteenth round pick 

1670
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:32,920
only for me in out of Pierce. 
Yeah, drafting today it's 

1671
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:36,080
eighteenth round pick. 
So yeah, he's at, he's at 90 to 

1672
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:39,760
95% route share. 
But he's the less than 10% way 

1673
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:44,760
the targets per route run. 
So not good he is is is truly 

1674
01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:49,880
clear cleared out like just not 
targeted and so on to the the 

1675
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:56,160
sort of second tier of charts 
here and we these are players 

1676
01:45:56,160 --> 01:46:00,880
who are still like starters and 
but they they're they're not 

1677
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:04,880
they don't have as truly an 
elite route share as the first 

1678
01:46:04,880 --> 01:46:09,000
chart and here you you'll have 
Tyreek Hill who's like. 

1679
01:46:09,810 --> 01:46:13,930
Is a little bit older still a 
lead and but maybe he doesn't 

1680
01:46:13,930 --> 01:46:18,690
run as much roots as as he would
have when he was younger and but

1681
01:46:18,930 --> 01:46:24,730
more than makes up for that in 
Peru efficiency with like a way 

1682
01:46:24,730 --> 01:46:26,850
to target spirit run of above 
100%. 

1683
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:30,320
The The Tyree kill stuff too. 
If you watch the games. 

1684
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:32,080
What? 
What actually is happening to 

1685
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:35,600
why he's not getting an even 
higher route share is a lot of 

1686
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:38,320
the times he's he is running a 
lot. 

1687
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:40,480
He's running a lot on a play and
they need to take. 

1688
01:46:40,480 --> 01:46:44,320
It's like give me, give me a 
breather because and he don't 

1689
01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:47,320
get oxygen on every half time, 
yeah. 

1690
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:51,480
I mean, out of necessity. 
Like this man is just going 

1691
01:46:51,480 --> 01:46:55,230
crazy out here. 
Some guys that were really 

1692
01:46:55,230 --> 01:46:58,790
encouraging both in production 
and where they show up on the 

1693
01:46:58,790 --> 01:47:03,910
chart, I mean like Mike Evans, 
really, really exciting. 

1694
01:47:04,710 --> 01:47:08,030
If you're drafting, I think that
it's, you know, it's definitely 

1695
01:47:08,030 --> 01:47:10,190
going to be a little noisy with 
just two weeks. 

1696
01:47:10,790 --> 01:47:15,110
But Baker Mayfield is willing to
throw and Mike Evans is still 

1697
01:47:15,110 --> 01:47:18,510
Mike Evans and he's still going 
to get 1000 yards this season. 

1698
01:47:18,510 --> 01:47:21,350
So where he was going in 
basketball drafts looking like a

1699
01:47:21,350 --> 01:47:24,880
strong value. 
Yeah, I think that I think 

1700
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:28,400
you'll see Chris Godwin and Mike
Evans. 

1701
01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:32,560
I mean, I think they'll move 
their their points a little 

1702
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:34,560
closer. 
I think Godwin's been running a 

1703
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:39,160
little poor and Baker just has 
decided that it's really fun to 

1704
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:41,680
throw it up to Mike. 
Like, who wouldn't want to throw

1705
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:43,760
it up to Mike Evans? 
Like that sounds like a blast. 

1706
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:44,520
I'm. 
I'm in. 

1707
01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:47,200
Maybe he could make those look 
good. 

1708
01:47:47,940 --> 01:47:50,060
Yeah, right next to Mike. 
Evans, Nico. 

1709
01:47:50,060 --> 01:47:52,300
Collins. 
Finally, I mean, we we touched 

1710
01:47:52,300 --> 01:47:56,460
on him last week, but putting 
together another strong week, 

1711
01:47:57,060 --> 01:48:00,900
the people that chased Nico 
Collins up the draft board are 

1712
01:48:00,900 --> 01:48:04,620
looking pretty sharp here. 
I couldn't get there. 

1713
01:48:04,620 --> 01:48:07,220
I was. 
I was too low on both Stroud and

1714
01:48:07,220 --> 01:48:10,700
Young, and so I'm batting 500 on
those rookie quarterback takes 

1715
01:48:10,700 --> 01:48:15,200
here because Stroud looks 
promising and this passing game 

1716
01:48:15,200 --> 01:48:17,680
for Houston as a whole looks 
like something that you want a 

1717
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:21,840
part of for fantasy. 
It's it's like we discussed. 

1718
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:25,560
It's those offenses that were 
so, so cheap that they don't 

1719
01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:30,360
even need to do anything crazy 
to be really great values. 

1720
01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:32,840
And Nico looks like one of those
really great values. 

1721
01:48:33,640 --> 01:48:37,440
Yeah, yeah, I I agree. 
And. 

1722
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:42,670
For sure. 
Is other than those guys this 

1723
01:48:42,670 --> 01:48:47,430
this chart is just starting to 
get pretty crowded like you're 

1724
01:48:47,430 --> 01:48:52,270
definitely you get into these 
guys who are like good good 

1725
01:48:52,270 --> 01:48:56,910
great to to great players but 
last of them in not like really 

1726
01:48:56,910 --> 01:49:03,830
high yet way the targets run and
some yeah I I also see I. 

1727
01:49:03,870 --> 01:49:04,830
See. 
Go ahead. 

1728
01:49:05,270 --> 01:49:06,750
Ohh no no you. 
You go ahead here. 

1729
01:49:07,470 --> 01:49:10,510
And I do. 
I do do see Terry McLaren. 

1730
01:49:10,510 --> 01:49:15,670
Here who's also pretty low on 
the the way the targets per out 

1731
01:49:15,670 --> 01:49:22,190
run and I that that does make me
wonder if is like is the offense

1732
01:49:22,190 --> 01:49:23,630
like just? 
Is it? 

1733
01:49:23,630 --> 01:49:27,030
Sort of. 
Are they just not choking it 

1734
01:49:27,030 --> 01:49:31,430
deep or like that that that does
surprise me that that both of 

1735
01:49:31,430 --> 01:49:35,150
the. 
It was relatively spread and 

1736
01:49:35,150 --> 01:49:38,150
there was. 
There was a little bit in, I 

1737
01:49:38,150 --> 01:49:41,390
wanna say it was 2 minute where 
Curtis Samuel just got a bunch 

1738
01:49:41,390 --> 01:49:43,790
of stuff. 
It was like, here's Curtis 

1739
01:49:43,790 --> 01:49:48,310
Samuel for like 3 plays in a row
and and of course the tight ends

1740
01:49:48,310 --> 01:49:53,670
are both involved there. 
Yeah, another another point I. 

1741
01:49:53,670 --> 01:49:57,030
Wanted to. 
To make here we do see Christian

1742
01:49:57,030 --> 01:50:00,390
Kirk and Calvin Ridley coming a 
little closer together here. 

1743
01:50:01,470 --> 01:50:04,550
Calvin Ridley still looked 
really they're they're he was 

1744
01:50:04,550 --> 01:50:07,350
doing things that were pretty 
spectacular and had a couple 

1745
01:50:07,350 --> 01:50:10,230
close like shoulda, woulda, 
coulda plays. 

1746
01:50:10,510 --> 01:50:14,710
So I'm not like I'm not calling 
his his pullback in production 

1747
01:50:14,710 --> 01:50:17,350
from week two like ah this is 
what Calvin Ridley is. 

1748
01:50:17,930 --> 01:50:21,570
But I I do think that my read on
this offense is is going to be 

1749
01:50:21,570 --> 01:50:24,850
pretty spot on and that it's all
of these guys are spike week 

1750
01:50:24,850 --> 01:50:27,050
players. 
Yeah they're they're all pretty 

1751
01:50:27,050 --> 01:50:28,930
good. 
You probably wanted to be 

1752
01:50:28,930 --> 01:50:31,130
investing through the cheapest 
prices. 

1753
01:50:31,330 --> 01:50:34,330
So that is when Calvin Ridley 
was cheaper you wanted to load 

1754
01:50:34,330 --> 01:50:37,210
up on him. 
When Christian Kirk was falling 

1755
01:50:37,210 --> 01:50:40,490
at the end of the draft season 
you wanted to load up on him and

1756
01:50:40,490 --> 01:50:42,250
then ze Jones where he was 
going. 

1757
01:50:42,250 --> 01:50:44,930
You you wanted to load up on ZE 
Jones pretty much all throughout

1758
01:50:44,930 --> 01:50:47,130
the draft. 
And I actually I wrote about 

1759
01:50:47,130 --> 01:50:51,410
this in My Portfolio postmortem 
article that's up on Spike week 

1760
01:50:51,410 --> 01:50:54,890
right now in how I thought the 
Jags offense should be played. 

1761
01:50:55,410 --> 01:50:57,610
And through two weeks it does 
kind of look like it's starting 

1762
01:50:57,610 --> 01:51:02,890
to play out that way. 
The other the other quick ones 

1763
01:51:02,890 --> 01:51:05,690
that I wanted to bring up, if 
you've got a guy in the bottom 

1764
01:51:05,690 --> 01:51:09,650
left quadrant of this chart, 
they're they're officially on 

1765
01:51:09,650 --> 01:51:13,970
like the missing persons report.
So, you know, like Hunter 

1766
01:51:13,970 --> 01:51:19,020
Renfro, Donovan Peoples Jones, 
Michael Gallup, Paris Campbell, 

1767
01:51:19,220 --> 01:51:24,020
Van Jefferson, UH, Alan 
Robinson, K Sean Booty. 

1768
01:51:24,420 --> 01:51:26,860
Like these guys are all on the 
milk carton. 

1769
01:51:26,860 --> 01:51:31,100
Like it's it's not looking good.
And of all of those guys that I 

1770
01:51:31,100 --> 01:51:34,580
listed, none of them have 
really, I haven't seen any. 

1771
01:51:34,820 --> 01:51:36,660
You know, Mark has vowed this 
scantling. 

1772
01:51:36,900 --> 01:51:41,220
Nothing has flashed where I'm 
like, Oh well, I'm hopeful that 

1773
01:51:41,220 --> 01:51:44,540
he's gonna increase his weighted
targets per route run next week.

1774
01:51:44,540 --> 01:51:47,820
Like Nope, These these dudes are
on the milk carton and I don't 

1775
01:51:47,820 --> 01:51:49,220
know what it's gonna take to 
find him. 

1776
01:51:50,140 --> 01:51:53,820
The only couple that are in this
quadrant where I can see some 

1777
01:51:53,820 --> 01:51:56,860
stuff, you know, breaking better
for them. 

1778
01:51:58,100 --> 01:52:02,650
Josh Downs I think has pretty 
good chemistry with Anthony 

1779
01:52:02,650 --> 01:52:06,050
Richardson. 
It's not really a back or a wide

1780
01:52:06,050 --> 01:52:07,810
receiver. 
I'm super excited about because 

1781
01:52:07,810 --> 01:52:09,930
he's just, you know, slot wide 
receiver low. 

1782
01:52:10,010 --> 01:52:12,610
A dot probably needs way more 
volume than he's going to be 

1783
01:52:12,610 --> 01:52:14,130
able to get. 
If Anthony Richardson's 

1784
01:52:14,130 --> 01:52:18,890
quarterback if Baker Mayfield's 
quarterback, you might wind up 

1785
01:52:18,890 --> 01:52:21,290
with like a I haven't haven't 
looked at DraftKings pricing, 

1786
01:52:21,290 --> 01:52:25,130
but there's definitely like a 
Josh Downs punt play type of 

1787
01:52:25,330 --> 01:52:27,170
type of thing I could be 
interested in. 

1788
01:52:28,310 --> 01:52:32,110
The other ones that I'll list 
really quickly, Darius Slayton 

1789
01:52:32,150 --> 01:52:36,150
and Traylan Burks both are guys 
where I could see them trending 

1790
01:52:36,270 --> 01:52:40,430
in a direction that's more 
positive on this chart just 

1791
01:52:40,430 --> 01:52:44,230
because the Giants wide 
receivers outside of Jalen Hyatt

1792
01:52:44,590 --> 01:52:47,470
look pretty bad. 
I'm kind of bummed about 

1793
01:52:47,670 --> 01:52:50,310
Hodgins, I thought. 
I thought Hodgins showed a 

1794
01:52:50,310 --> 01:52:54,270
little bit near the end of last 
season where he might be able 

1795
01:52:54,270 --> 01:52:57,840
to, you know, earn, earn a good 
amount of targets in offense 

1796
01:52:57,840 --> 01:53:02,440
with not a ton of competition. 
But yeah, maybe you get a little

1797
01:53:02,440 --> 01:53:04,080
more out of Slayton. 
I don't think so, though. 

1798
01:53:04,080 --> 01:53:06,480
I think Slayton's kind of we. 
We know what he is, we've seen 

1799
01:53:06,480 --> 01:53:09,840
it. 
And then Burks, you're just 

1800
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:12,960
hoping that this is him slowly 
being worked back in. 

1801
01:53:13,680 --> 01:53:16,960
Yeah, kind of, I think same box.
I think he had something going. 

1802
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:22,640
On in the in in Week 2, because 
I, I I think I saw that he 

1803
01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:26,710
didn't actually play that much. 
In the fourth quarter of last 

1804
01:53:26,710 --> 01:53:31,590
week and but there's definitely 
like more encouraging signs for 

1805
01:53:31,750 --> 01:53:35,150
for Burks. 
For example, last week he had 

1806
01:53:35,150 --> 01:53:42,950
4.2 yards per hour run and and 
he had 4/4 targets and and they 

1807
01:53:42,950 --> 01:53:48,230
only had 29 dropbacks. 
So like there's like, if you if 

1808
01:53:48,230 --> 01:53:50,390
you're looking for something to 
be optimistic about, there's 

1809
01:53:50,390 --> 01:53:52,030
definitely something there for 
Burks. 

1810
01:53:52,430 --> 01:53:56,030
To be optimistic about and then 
another point on the like on the

1811
01:53:56,030 --> 01:54:01,630
milk carton guys that I think is
worth noting is that this chart 

1812
01:54:01,630 --> 01:54:08,110
sort of intentionally punishes 
guys who have low a dots and so 

1813
01:54:08,430 --> 01:54:11,910
and because the weighting is 
it's sort of weighted towards 

1814
01:54:11,950 --> 01:54:16,970
air yards to to. 
Make sure that we're waiting 

1815
01:54:16,970 --> 01:54:19,970
towards the most fantasy 
productive sort of targets. 

1816
01:54:20,170 --> 01:54:24,090
And so you can have guys who get
four or five, maybe 6 targets, 

1817
01:54:24,330 --> 01:54:29,370
but if they're up low a dot then
then they can still be in the 

1818
01:54:29,370 --> 01:54:33,650
cardio club section of the chart
even though like they are, they 

1819
01:54:33,690 --> 01:54:38,490
are actually getting targeted. 
But when you get the the the MBS

1820
01:54:38,610 --> 01:54:43,730
quiz and DPJ guys who are like 
supposed to be deep chat 

1821
01:54:43,930 --> 01:54:47,450
receivers. 
And they're still really low 

1822
01:54:47,730 --> 01:54:54,210
then then that's like a more 
like negative and bear sign than

1823
01:54:54,210 --> 01:54:58,010
than the kind of like slot low. 
A dot guys being in that 

1824
01:54:58,010 --> 01:54:59,810
section. 
Yeah, good. 

1825
01:55:00,530 --> 01:55:04,290
Good explanation there because, 
yeah, that's definitely an 

1826
01:55:04,290 --> 01:55:06,170
important distinction to make 
there. 

1827
01:55:08,090 --> 01:55:11,330
And and then do we wanna go? 
To the the. 

1828
01:55:11,570 --> 01:55:14,620
Sort of true backup. 
Yeah, I think we gotta move on 

1829
01:55:14,620 --> 01:55:17,500
to #3 because we're we're 
probably gonna run over 2 hours 

1830
01:55:17,500 --> 01:55:20,500
here. 
Oh, you you have. 

1831
01:55:20,500 --> 01:55:23,100
You have a lot of notes. 
For for the backup receiver. 

1832
01:55:23,620 --> 01:55:25,740
Oh you just know that I'm I'm 
long winded. 

1833
01:55:25,780 --> 01:55:28,300
I I could. 
I mean, when it comes to Jaden 

1834
01:55:28,300 --> 01:55:31,140
Reed and Rashid Shaheed, I I 
could talk for a while. 

1835
01:55:32,220 --> 01:55:35,820
I think these guys are just, you
know, they were already exciting

1836
01:55:35,820 --> 01:55:39,340
week one. 
They continue to be exciting for

1837
01:55:39,340 --> 01:55:44,170
for what they are. 
Week 2, Justin Watson started 

1838
01:55:44,170 --> 01:55:46,210
creeping in there. 
He had a good number of air 

1839
01:55:46,210 --> 01:55:47,050
yards. 
He was. 

1840
01:55:47,050 --> 01:55:49,090
He was over 100 air yards, 
correct. 

1841
01:55:49,930 --> 01:55:54,850
Yeah, he he I mean. 
That receiver room is like 

1842
01:55:54,930 --> 01:56:00,130
anyone's game. 
So if you you could end up with 

1843
01:56:00,130 --> 01:56:04,330
the late career Justin Watson 
breakout for like all the one of

1844
01:56:04,330 --> 01:56:08,330
you Justin Watson truthers out 
there it it might happen 

1845
01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:14,280
frustrating one Mac Hollins like
can we just get those targets to

1846
01:56:14,280 --> 01:56:17,160
Drake London and Kyle Pitts 
please like what are we what are

1847
01:56:17,160 --> 01:56:20,320
we doing giving Mac Hollins so 
much stuff. 

1848
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:26,760
Another another interesting one 
was Tank Dell really you know 

1849
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:29,520
took advantage of the 
opportunity with Noah Brown 

1850
01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:32,960
going on IR. 
So Tank Dell definitely 

1851
01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:37,280
interesting and we like the we 
like the rookies who. 

1852
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:41,880
Because their rookies are not 
getting big route shares, but 

1853
01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:44,160
when they're on the field, 
they're getting heavily 

1854
01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:49,840
productive targets and and so 
encouraging for for the likes of

1855
01:56:49,840 --> 01:56:53,960
Tankdale and and Jaden Read that
perhaps they'll increase their 

1856
01:56:53,960 --> 01:56:55,600
Rd. share as they continue to 
play. 

1857
01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:58,200
Well, yeah, absolutely. 
Good. 

1858
01:56:58,360 --> 01:57:01,980
Good point there. 
One of the other rookies that I 

1859
01:57:01,980 --> 01:57:05,380
do want to point out that ends 
up on this chart is JSN, and 

1860
01:57:05,380 --> 01:57:08,940
he's basically dead middle. 
He's like average weighted 

1861
01:57:08,940 --> 01:57:11,700
targets per outrun, average 
fantasy points per game. 

1862
01:57:12,420 --> 01:57:15,460
When you talk about guys that 
get low a dot being punished, 

1863
01:57:16,340 --> 01:57:18,820
he's definitely being punished 
here for that low a dot. 

1864
01:57:18,820 --> 01:57:22,420
He had a decent number of 
targets this game, but they were

1865
01:57:22,420 --> 01:57:25,020
all very close to the line of 
scrimmage. 

1866
01:57:25,460 --> 01:57:29,860
I don't necessarily think that's
going to only be his game. 

1867
01:57:31,260 --> 01:57:34,500
You know, he definitely can 
operate a little deeper down the

1868
01:57:34,500 --> 01:57:38,780
field, but I do just think it's 
gonna be something where it's 

1869
01:57:38,780 --> 01:57:40,780
gonna take a little while for 
him to come on. 

1870
01:57:41,260 --> 01:57:44,410
I did. 
I heard someone today say 

1871
01:57:44,410 --> 01:57:49,290
something along the lines of, Oh
well, the only way JSN really 

1872
01:57:49,290 --> 01:57:52,370
gets to what you wanted him to 
be when you were drafting him at

1873
01:57:52,370 --> 01:57:55,490
the price that you're drafting 
him at, is you need an injury, 

1874
01:57:55,570 --> 01:57:58,570
you need a DK Mac effort. 
I really don't think that's 

1875
01:57:58,610 --> 01:58:01,330
true. 
I think that you're seeing the 

1876
01:58:01,330 --> 01:58:04,530
path that a lot of these rookie 
wide receivers follow. 

1877
01:58:04,930 --> 01:58:07,450
You know where they're going to 
come on slowly. 

1878
01:58:07,450 --> 01:58:10,730
They're going to earn more work,
you know, You can see he was 

1879
01:58:10,730 --> 01:58:14,850
only a 60 to 65% route. 
Sure guy, he did increase from 

1880
01:58:14,850 --> 01:58:17,370
week 1 to week two. 
So that's encouraging. 

1881
01:58:17,730 --> 01:58:20,490
And don't forget, like, the dude
just broke his wrist a couple. 

1882
01:58:20,490 --> 01:58:25,170
He had wrist surgery like 2 1/2 
weeks, 3 weeks ago now you know.

1883
01:58:26,450 --> 01:58:31,410
So I'm not, I'm not discouraged 
by JSN, but you know, when you 

1884
01:58:31,410 --> 01:58:34,930
do see these rookies coming out 
with hot starts like Jaden Reed 

1885
01:58:34,930 --> 01:58:39,600
and Tank Dell, you know, you're 
like, oh man, like I can't, I 

1886
01:58:39,600 --> 01:58:42,640
can't JSN do that. 
But I I think it's still coming 

1887
01:58:42,640 --> 01:58:46,080
for JSN. 
Yeah, yeah, he he he is simply 

1888
01:58:46,080 --> 01:58:49,600
too good for us. 
To want to throw in the towel 

1889
01:58:49,920 --> 01:58:55,160
and and important to that he 
he's still being targeted like 

1890
01:58:55,160 --> 01:59:01,360
he's he's his he's still getting
like he had 6 targets in week 24

1891
01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:05,450
targets week one and. 
And and on a lower like sort of 

1892
01:59:05,450 --> 01:59:11,130
like snap or drop back bases 
like that's still still pretty 

1893
01:59:11,410 --> 01:59:16,290
pretty good and and so like he 
he hasn't he hasn't flashed the 

1894
01:59:16,290 --> 01:59:19,810
big play yet and but that that's
sort of what we're looking for 

1895
01:59:19,810 --> 01:59:24,810
where like he he he does have I 
mean his his time 40 time is not

1896
01:59:25,970 --> 01:59:30,000
the best. 
I am but he he he still does 

1897
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:33,680
have explosive play ability and 
and you're you're hoping to see 

1898
01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:37,600
him make some big plays that 
that do force them to to play 

1899
01:59:37,600 --> 01:59:41,960
him some more the by the way 
you. 

1900
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:47,320
You mentioned Terry Mclaurin 
earlier and here I mentioned 

1901
01:59:47,320 --> 01:59:49,320
Curtis Samuel. 
Yeah, here's here's the reason 

1902
01:59:49,320 --> 01:59:52,440
why you got, you got all this 
Curtis Samuel stuff taken away 

1903
01:59:52,440 --> 01:59:55,080
from, you know, Dotson and 
Mclaurin. 

1904
01:59:55,730 --> 02:00:00,130
So it is a relatively split 
offense for right now. 

1905
02:00:00,610 --> 02:00:03,930
I don't know if you'll end up 
with howl having a favorite or 

1906
02:00:03,930 --> 02:00:08,810
if it's always going to be kind 
of split like this, but we'll 

1907
02:00:08,810 --> 02:00:11,610
and you know, there are tight 
ends involved in well as well. 

1908
02:00:12,770 --> 02:00:15,610
So it'll be interesting to see 
how this shakes out. 

1909
02:00:15,970 --> 02:00:19,810
I think that as far as like for 
DFS and things like that. 

1910
02:00:20,360 --> 02:00:23,640
That Washington passing game's 
going to be really hard to pick 

1911
02:00:23,840 --> 02:00:26,840
who you want to have with the 
with howl. 

1912
02:00:26,840 --> 02:00:29,240
You probably are just better 
off, you know, if you're going 

1913
02:00:29,240 --> 02:00:32,720
to do a howl playing in a given 
week, probably just want to take

1914
02:00:32,720 --> 02:00:35,320
the tight end, since such a 
large percentage of the tight 

1915
02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:37,240
end points would would come from
touchdown. 

1916
02:00:37,240 --> 02:00:40,800
And if you do get that, you're 
probably good on your stack. 

1917
02:00:40,800 --> 02:00:42,440
You know you probably paid off 
your tag. 

1918
02:00:42,440 --> 02:00:44,920
I'm assuming they're going to be
pretty cheap any any week you 

1919
02:00:44,920 --> 02:00:49,370
want to play them. 
Any anyone else on this chart 

1920
02:00:49,370 --> 02:00:54,410
that you had notes on and no 
and? 

1921
02:00:54,490 --> 02:00:58,610
I think it's all like we're a 
lot, a lot of these guys are 

1922
02:00:58,610 --> 02:01:04,330
Ram, if you're on this chart, I 
don't unless we're seeing stuff 

1923
02:01:04,330 --> 02:01:08,410
to make us believe that you 
belong on the the last two 

1924
02:01:08,410 --> 02:01:10,850
charts. 
For example, Jaden Reid, Rashid 

1925
02:01:10,850 --> 02:01:15,890
Rice Tank, Dale and hopefully 
JSN soon if you're on this 

1926
02:01:15,890 --> 02:01:18,290
chart. 
You you're really sort of like 

1927
02:01:18,610 --> 02:01:22,610
and drawing 10 to be fantasy 
productive So the fact that you 

1928
02:01:22,610 --> 02:01:28,970
see at Rondell Moore here at 
only 65 to 70% and and and not a

1929
02:01:30,370 --> 02:01:33,650
he does have a low a dot role so
it it does make sense that he's 

1930
02:01:33,650 --> 02:01:38,210
low and weighted targets for at 
run but low a dot role not 

1931
02:01:38,210 --> 02:01:42,250
playing a lot and. 
That, that, that doesn't feel 

1932
02:01:42,250 --> 02:01:45,690
like a strong a strong play. 
Ron Elmer doesn't seem like a 

1933
02:01:45,690 --> 02:01:51,410
strong play right now and again 
Joshua Parmer where he is he's 

1934
02:01:51,410 --> 02:01:55,370
supposed to be a deep track guy 
and and so the fact that he's 

1935
02:01:55,970 --> 02:01:59,450
he's in the cardio club section 
not getting not getting a ton of

1936
02:01:59,450 --> 02:02:07,010
routes and or well he's 65 to 
70% so not not terrible but far 

1937
02:02:07,010 --> 02:02:12,240
from from startable. 
Yeah, the last I I. 

1938
02:02:12,320 --> 02:02:15,880
Wanted to make a general macro 
point that I wanted to remind 

1939
02:02:15,880 --> 02:02:19,960
myself of for next season. 
But in this cardio club, we've 

1940
02:02:19,960 --> 02:02:22,720
got Rondale Moore as you 
mentioned, we've got DJ Chark. 

1941
02:02:23,160 --> 02:02:26,800
These are two players where if 
you use Etr's best ball 

1942
02:02:26,800 --> 02:02:29,760
rankings, these guys are both. 
You're gonna come in with a lot 

1943
02:02:29,760 --> 02:02:31,840
of them if you just draft it off
of rankings. 

1944
02:02:32,360 --> 02:02:36,560
And this is the the Leonie likes
the projectable volume special 

1945
02:02:36,560 --> 02:02:40,080
where both these guys are like 
just if you know to sniff this 

1946
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:43,720
out next year, you'll save 
yourself a lot of money like not

1947
02:02:43,720 --> 02:02:46,960
clicking Rondell Moore way ahead
of you know you you're going to 

1948
02:02:46,960 --> 02:02:50,920
end up with like 1520% Rondell 
Moore 1520% DJ chart if you 

1949
02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:53,400
followed the rankings. 
And on the flip side they 

1950
02:02:53,400 --> 02:02:56,280
actually nailed Jaden Reed. 
They were super ahead of the 

1951
02:02:56,280 --> 02:02:59,240
market on Jaden Reed the whole 
time and if you followed their 

1952
02:02:59,240 --> 02:03:02,080
rankings on Jaden Reed, you 
probably got to like 20% Jaden 

1953
02:03:02,080 --> 02:03:04,520
Reed. 
I I definitely did because I 

1954
02:03:04,520 --> 02:03:06,760
was. 
I I was high on Jaden Reed. 

1955
02:03:07,140 --> 02:03:09,260
ETR was high on Jaden Reed. 
Pat was high. 

1956
02:03:09,980 --> 02:03:13,340
Everyone that I trusted for 
rankings was high on Jaden Reed.

1957
02:03:14,260 --> 02:03:17,300
But yeah, just a note for for 
future best fall drafting. 

1958
02:03:17,540 --> 02:03:19,860
If you just remind yourself 
there's gonna be a couple guys 

1959
02:03:19,860 --> 02:03:23,620
in the ETR rankings that are 
just up there because that's the

1960
02:03:23,620 --> 02:03:25,900
person that they were most 
confident to project volume 

1961
02:03:25,900 --> 02:03:28,460
onto. 
But we already know. 

1962
02:03:28,460 --> 02:03:30,580
We know what DJ Shark is. 
You know he's been in the league

1963
02:03:30,580 --> 02:03:33,380
long enough, and that offense 
was gonna be bad. 

1964
02:03:33,380 --> 02:03:37,290
So just to avoid those 
landmines, but be willing to 

1965
02:03:37,290 --> 02:03:40,050
lean into the ones like when 
they're excited about a rookie 

1966
02:03:40,050 --> 02:03:42,370
like January. 
Yeah, just click click that over

1967
02:03:42,370 --> 02:03:45,890
and over. 
Yeah, I'm just to we we both, 

1968
02:03:45,890 --> 02:03:49,450
really. 
Do like the the ETR rankings and

1969
02:03:49,970 --> 02:03:53,330
but just you want you definitely
want to be careful on that 

1970
02:03:53,410 --> 02:03:57,770
projectable volume for players 
where you have a very good idea 

1971
02:03:57,890 --> 02:04:03,010
of what they're like sort of 
like fantasy sort of role is and

1972
02:04:03,010 --> 02:04:06,840
it isn't great. 
Like, I think that's a message 

1973
02:04:06,840 --> 02:04:11,640
there, like a sort of overall, 
yeah, 100%, yeah. 

1974
02:04:11,640 --> 02:04:14,400
It was not meant to be a dig at 
the ETR rankings. 

1975
02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:16,520
They're one of the highest 
weights in my weighted aggregate

1976
02:04:16,520 --> 02:04:19,360
rankings. 
It was just, it's been a couple 

1977
02:04:19,360 --> 02:04:21,520
of years ago, right. 
And I knew that you had no 

1978
02:04:21,520 --> 02:04:24,280
intention of doing that. 
I just wanted to make sure. 

1979
02:04:24,910 --> 02:04:26,590
Yeah, yeah. 
It's been a couple years in a 

1980
02:04:26,590 --> 02:04:29,870
row though where you get the, 
gosh, who is Brashad Perriman 

1981
02:04:29,870 --> 02:04:31,070
from? 
Yeah, years past. 

1982
02:04:31,270 --> 02:04:33,550
You know there's a couple of 
those are going to sneak into 

1983
02:04:33,550 --> 02:04:36,150
the rankings and that's that's 
part of doing rankings. 

1984
02:04:36,150 --> 02:04:40,110
You know you gotta gotta project
out team offense and sometimes 

1985
02:04:40,510 --> 02:04:42,950
it's just ambiguous. 
And they, I feel like they did a

1986
02:04:42,950 --> 02:04:45,950
better job of it this year where
they had a lot of, I'll call 

1987
02:04:45,950 --> 02:04:49,870
them like ghost roles where they
just had unassigned volume to 

1988
02:04:49,870 --> 02:04:53,380
guys which that's I think that's
a really sharp way to do it when

1989
02:04:53,380 --> 02:04:56,380
you have these ambiguous 
situations or offense that might

1990
02:04:56,380 --> 02:04:59,140
not be as good as you want to 
end up projecting it. 

1991
02:05:00,500 --> 02:05:04,100
But yeah, there's just the point
of and this isn't just their 

1992
02:05:04,100 --> 02:05:07,540
rankings this is the market in 
general places a lot of 

1993
02:05:07,540 --> 02:05:11,180
confidence in those kind of 
players where it's like well the

1994
02:05:11,180 --> 02:05:13,900
volume has to go to this guy. 
You know there's no there's 

1995
02:05:13,900 --> 02:05:15,580
nowhere else for the volume to 
go. 

1996
02:05:15,980 --> 02:05:20,740
And in in the cases of DJ Shark 
and Rondale Moore, it's, yeah, 

1997
02:05:20,740 --> 02:05:22,620
sure, the volume could go to 
these guys. 

1998
02:05:22,620 --> 02:05:25,380
It's just like, no volume, it 
doesn't matter, you know, And 

1999
02:05:25,380 --> 02:05:30,140
right, we projected the offense.
And sometimes in the case of 

2000
02:05:30,140 --> 02:05:36,100
like, who's Van Jefferson? 
It's no, no, no Van Jefferson. 

2001
02:05:36,100 --> 02:05:39,180
We know what he is. 
It's puka and Tutu, you know. 

2002
02:05:39,500 --> 02:05:43,500
So just just having that, being 
cognizant of that for drafting 

2003
02:05:43,500 --> 02:05:50,180
in the future, Yeah, yeah, I. 
Think that that is very. 

2004
02:05:51,020 --> 02:05:54,940
Fair and Joshua gauge that that 
there's a I'm sorry Russell 

2005
02:05:54,940 --> 02:06:00,980
Gauge that's another one right 
around very easy to to to to 

2006
02:06:01,220 --> 02:06:03,980
project. 
And and and hoist volume onto 

2007
02:06:03,980 --> 02:06:07,700
them where you know, where you 
know they're not very good. 

2008
02:06:08,260 --> 02:06:11,260
It is. 
And you know, you know from like

2009
02:06:11,420 --> 02:06:14,620
seeing them play a couple of 
years that they're not very 

2010
02:06:14,620 --> 02:06:16,780
good. 
It can definitely be tricky to 

2011
02:06:16,780 --> 02:06:19,740
sniff those guys out though. 
You like you certainly as a 

2012
02:06:19,740 --> 02:06:23,740
drafter can fall into that that 
narrative of Oh yeah, that makes

2013
02:06:23,740 --> 02:06:25,540
sense. 
Like I, Russell Gage in the 

2014
02:06:25,540 --> 02:06:27,500
18th. 
Like they've got to throw to 

2015
02:06:27,500 --> 02:06:30,580
someone there, you know, right. 
Mike Evans is gonna get traded 

2016
02:06:30,580 --> 02:06:33,980
and then it's the Russell Gage 
show and it's yeah, be. 

2017
02:06:34,020 --> 02:06:36,900
But being able to sniff those 
guys out, I think is a way that 

2018
02:06:36,900 --> 02:06:41,110
you can, you know, those those 
eighteenth round picks, those 

2019
02:06:41,110 --> 02:06:44,030
can be really valuable. 
That's a Puka, that's a Kyron, 

2020
02:06:44,030 --> 02:06:46,030
that's a Tutu, that's Justice 
Hill. 

2021
02:06:46,030 --> 02:06:49,710
You know, that's Josh Kelly, 
that's, you know, Jerome Ford. 

2022
02:06:49,710 --> 02:06:52,190
At certain parts of the 
offseason, I'm still worried 

2023
02:06:52,190 --> 02:06:54,830
that Jayden Reed has only played
in three wide receiver sets. 

2024
02:06:55,190 --> 02:06:58,590
Yeah, I mean, if you watched 
watched him play, he's good. 

2025
02:06:59,790 --> 02:07:03,950
And so I I think that he's gonna
earn his way to more playing 

2026
02:07:03,950 --> 02:07:07,150
time, right. 
And and that's the point of 

2027
02:07:07,150 --> 02:07:10,640
this, this share. 
Is the sniff at the guys that 

2028
02:07:10,640 --> 02:07:12,400
aren't playing? 
Yeah, that's the reason. 

2029
02:07:12,680 --> 02:07:15,280
If if Jayden Reed didn't exist 
there, would there would be 

2030
02:07:15,280 --> 02:07:23,720
little point in the in in this 
chart and the fact that he is. 

2031
02:07:23,720 --> 02:07:27,320
Earning targets. 
And down the field targets at 

2032
02:07:27,320 --> 02:07:33,280
such a consistent rate and 
succeeding with them And is it? 

2033
02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:35,960
It's definitely it. 
It's a reason for them to play a

2034
02:07:35,960 --> 02:07:39,580
more. 
And then Josh Joshua had a 

2035
02:07:39,580 --> 02:07:42,940
question. 
Did Michael Wilson go missing? 

2036
02:07:44,220 --> 02:07:47,780
And I hate to inform you, 
Joshua, but Michael Wilson never

2037
02:07:47,780 --> 02:07:51,220
existed in the 1st place. 
He was a ploy by Big Best Ball 

2038
02:07:51,740 --> 02:07:57,820
to see how outlandish a player 
they could get you to click, I'm

2039
02:07:57,820 --> 02:08:01,620
pretty sure, and Michael Wilson 
is somebody I work with. 

2040
02:08:02,340 --> 02:08:06,680
And. 
Michael Wilson's an accountant. 

2041
02:08:06,680 --> 02:08:10,440
Somewhere there, there's 
definitely there's definitely an

2042
02:08:10,440 --> 02:08:12,680
accountant. 
Called that Michael Wilson out 

2043
02:08:12,680 --> 02:08:14,520
there. 
Yeah, I mean, Michael Wilson 

2044
02:08:14,520 --> 02:08:16,040
might be watching this show 
right now. 

2045
02:08:16,040 --> 02:08:18,640
Michael Wilson might just be a 
fantasy player like a a. 

2046
02:08:18,880 --> 02:08:23,560
He plays fantasy football. 
He's not an Is it a true deep 

2047
02:08:23,560 --> 02:08:26,360
fake? 
I wasn't. 

2048
02:08:26,360 --> 02:08:28,080
Wasn't trying to throw shade at 
you, Joshua. 

2049
02:08:28,080 --> 02:08:30,120
I meant. 
I meant the collective You the 

2050
02:08:30,240 --> 02:08:35,260
the Royal Best Ball drafting 
community and not psyopt into 

2051
02:08:35,260 --> 02:08:37,100
Michael Wilson. 
So I think. 

2052
02:08:37,100 --> 02:08:39,700
He is in here and we definitely 
we. 

2053
02:08:39,700 --> 02:08:43,980
Definitely have him and he just,
he's lost in a crowd of is he on

2054
02:08:43,980 --> 02:08:46,100
the, is he on the milk carton? 
Yeah, there he is. 

2055
02:08:46,900 --> 02:08:52,460
There he is 70 to 75% route run.
Between 40 and 60% targets per 

2056
02:08:52,460 --> 02:08:55,060
route run just above 5 fantasy 
points a game. 

2057
02:08:56,100 --> 02:08:58,780
So there's there's your your 
Michael Wilson folks. 

2058
02:08:59,060 --> 02:09:05,030
There he is, you know. 
Glory, so I I guess we we we 

2059
02:09:05,070 --> 02:09:07,950
brought the time. 
Back a little bit and but didn't

2060
02:09:07,950 --> 02:09:13,950
quite didn't quite I I'm, I 
don't feel bad that and we were.

2061
02:09:14,150 --> 02:09:17,350
I I felt like we had very 
productive conversations and and

2062
02:09:17,350 --> 02:09:20,390
hopefully useful for for people.
Yeah. 

2063
02:09:20,390 --> 02:09:23,470
I mean, as long as we're putting
out work that's useful to 

2064
02:09:23,470 --> 02:09:26,670
people, that's all I care about.
And if we go over 2 hours, we go

2065
02:09:26,670 --> 02:09:29,230
over 2 hours, we'll we'll try 
and keep it tighter. 

2066
02:09:30,310 --> 02:09:34,540
But I don't ever want to just 
shorten the show for just the 

2067
02:09:34,540 --> 02:09:36,860
purpose of shortening it. 
I wanna make sure we get you 

2068
02:09:36,860 --> 02:09:40,180
guys the analysis that you need 
to make the best decisions you 

2069
02:09:40,180 --> 02:09:43,500
can going forward. 
Yeah, definitely agree. 

2070
02:09:43,500 --> 02:09:45,100
And I think we did. 
We think we. 

2071
02:09:45,100 --> 02:09:50,180
Did a good middle ground of 
scaling back to time and but 

2072
02:09:50,180 --> 02:09:53,380
still making sure that it was 
full analysis like you said. 

2073
02:09:56,230 --> 02:09:57,110
All right. 
Well, I I. 

2074
02:09:57,110 --> 02:10:00,710
Think with that time to time to 
wrap it up and pack it in for 

2075
02:10:00,710 --> 02:10:03,270
the night. 
For those of you that hung with 

2076
02:10:03,270 --> 02:10:05,630
us for the whole two hours and 
change. 

2077
02:10:05,630 --> 02:10:11,350
We appreciate you and yeah this 
this has been stat chasing yeah 

2078
02:10:11,670 --> 02:10:14,510
that's that's week two of stat 
chasing done thanks for. 

2079
02:10:14,670 --> 02:10:15,630
Listening in, folks.
