We are through six weeks of the 2025 NFL season, officially 1/3
of the way through the NFL regular season, and just one
game shy of halfway through the fantasy regular season.
And one of the most monumentous events so far this season has
occurred today, and that is the retirement of David Bell.
Oh, he's the manager of the Reds right now.
This is this is David Bell. We should do a highlight reel of
him managing the Reds. Oh man, got to got to play the
David Bell clip one last time. That one was too good to you
know, We couldn't let it go quietly into the night.
Great clip. And yeah, I saw that it was 47
seconds long and I was like, do I do I click this?
Is this how we intro? But it it, it was worth it.
It was a 47 seconds of bliss. Oh, absolutely.
I mean, that's that's one of the classics.
That's when when I hear the David Bell clip start to roll
that just it tickles all the right nostalgia spots.
So, but I, I do think that's probably we've used up our quota
of David Bell talk already on the show.
I think we probably should go ahead and dive into the
quarterback chart. You, you should absolutely not
drop David Bell. David Bell, he can drop.
He drops passes, but you should not drop him.
He he's a real real glue guy, real locker guy for your fantasy
teams. OK.
So we have the quarterback charts last couple of weeks I
have done the the show notes, but this this week Sack has.
So I'm going to let you, you, you, you, you take it away.
I mean, I'll, I'll go ahead and lead lead with the headline
here. Drake made is absolutely him.
I mean, I, I think I had a Drake may monologue last week.
You're going to sit through one more Drake May monologue.
So I mean, so much of the initially, it's like, OK, well,
Stephane Diggs is starting to ascend.
You know, he's looking like the digs of old.
Maybe that's, you know, really what's what's getting this
Patriots offense moving? Nope, doesn't matter.
Drake may can do it with Keyshawn Booty.
He can do it with Pop Douglas is now a deep ball specialist.
It it truly doesn't matter who he is throwing the ball to.
He is doing what you see from all of the elite quarterbacks in
the NFL and that he is elevating the talent around him and it's
like it's just so clear that you know, he's really the thing that
is he's the straw that's stirring the drink there.
I have some fun. Drake made stats here.
So far to this point in the season, he's 5th in PFF passing
grade, He's 4th in passer rating.
He's top ten in big time throws and the people that he is tied
with for big time throws are pretty fun.
He has the same number of big time throws as Josh Allen and
Patrick Mahomes. Those guys might be pretty good.
I don't know maybe could be he's second in adjusted completion
percentage. The the one fly in the ointment
for Drake May is the pressure to sack rate is still not great.
He he definitely still do be enjoying taking sacks a little
bit too much. But if he if he buttons that up,
which I think you know, sacks are definitely a quarterback
stat, but there is that the symbiotic relationship with the
offensive line. If the Patriots offensive line
can improve and Drake may can learn to not take the sacks
quite as much. I think there's there's probably
a happy medium where he can really get that down because we
saw last year he took a lot of sacks, but he also scrambled
more than he's scrambling this year.
I think he needs to scramble just like a little bit more if
he bails out a little quicker, if that internal clock is just
dialed a little better and he just avoids those sacks.
And I feel like Jaden Daniels actually does this pretty well
where he takes what should be a totally lost play that Drake
made probably let's turn into a sack.
He just turns it into like a lot of times it's not even sexy.
It's like a four yard run or something.
But it's still way better than taking a sack.
And I feel like if you can get that out of Drake May, there is
nothing standing between him and being the overall QB one in real
life and in fantasy. Yeah, I I fully agree.
He's been fantastic. We I was kind of debating like,
how do you play the the Drake? May is him and I was like, is it
is it digs? It turns out it's it's it's just
all of the above. Do you know what it reminds me
of? It reminds me a little bit of
that kind of like Josh Allen when they had a manual, they had
Gabe Davis, they had and I was just like you, you you put a
cheap pass catcher with with the stack them and I'm like, that
could work it. It could be Pop Douglas, it
could be Keyshawn Booty could be digs.
It's he's got he's going to make them work.
The one the one thing that I would note on kind of the pass
blocking, so PFF have the Patriots as actually the third
best team for pass blocking so far this year.
And then when you look at the ESPN pass block win rate,
they're 20th, so mid table and that's on a three seconds time
to throw. So I think that the offensive
line is actually doing a lot of work here in, in that like he's
getting a very large time to throw, which obviously he's
he's, he's a jewel trap. So those guys have the higher
times, but they they I think they are doing doing him a big
favor here and that's probably part of the success.
But not not to take anything away, he has been fantastic.
But do want to note that maybe the offensive line are are part
of this the story or two with that being much improved.
Yeah, that's, that's fair. I do think there's still
probably some room for for improvement both in his play and
the offensive lines play with respect to the pressure to sack
ratio. But that's, you know, that's the
only thing I really see that has much, much improvement needed.
OK, another guy who is in a fun spot on the chart that I feel
like we have to talk about. Dylan Gabriel looks like he
could be like the most fun, you know, positive regression
candidate if they let him just keep chucking it like this.
But I wanted to get your take on is, is he actually a positive
regression candidate or is this just a trap?
Is is he not actually good enough to deliver?
Oh, not, not a, not a positive regression candidate.
And I don't think so. I, I, I'm not like I saw, I saw
that clip where somebody posted like it was like that five worst
throws in a week. And, and it was actually 8 Dylan
Gabriel trolls and I think he had like something insane like
55 drop backs last week. And so cherry picking the eight
worst, I think is like maybe not like it's fun.
It's very funny watching that video, but I don't know if
that's going to give you like a holistic, a clear headed view.
And if when I look at the numbers here, so he's got one of
the worst offensive lines. And so it's past block win rate
that for the team is at 27th overall.
His time to throw is 2.5 seconds.
So he's getting it out really quick.
And then the drop rate is 11%. So it's kind of like what like
I, I don't, I don't know how, I don't know if there's any
quarterbacks that's going to look good when they have to
throw the ball immediately. And then it's dropped 11% of the
time. So I don't know, like maybe with
maybe with worse matchups, like he obviously that they will have
a game, they'll have the return game with the Bengals and they
played, they played with Dolphins this week.
But having said that, the Dolphin, the Dolphins are just
us in general. So they if, if the if the Browns
are rolling, they probably just hand it off to Judkins like 25
times. So you won't, you won't get that
eye drop back out. So I, I guess what I'm saying is
I don't, I don't think Dylan Gravel is necessarily as bad as
this. This chart shows I, I think he's
probably at career backup level so far that that's probably how
I'd characterize him, which I mean, given given that that
that's good, that's good enough for kind of cheap Browns to get
there. But I, I don't, I don't know if
he's like a, a, a jammed in. I don't, I don't think, I don't
think he's like a great DFS player or anything like that.
The Browns are just like the the environment around him is too
bad for that to like be helpful, I think.
Yeah, I, I think we're pretty aligned there.
He's like, you know, Bryce Young level bad, you know, so.
I don't, I, I, I think, I, I think I might say he's played
better than Bryce Young. Now I, I.
Think he's probably played like. I think he's like Jacoby Percept
bad is what I'm saying. I don't know, I, I think I think
percent, I mean, maybe it's colored by the most recent
percent game, but I, I think I take percent over Gabriel.
But yeah, I, I think we're, you know, we're splitting hairs
there in, in the grand scheme of things, I think we both agree
that it's not really ADFS play. I do like Judkins for the next
week against Miami and they, they really kind of went away
from Judkins this last week. He didn't get a ton of of
opportunities against Pittsburgh.
I I wouldn't be surprised to see them kind of steer back hard
into that against a weak Miami Rundee.
The one thing I will say for Gabriel, I, I guess I've got 2
nice things to say. He really was not getting help
from his receivers, Isaiah Bond and Jerry Judy with like just
disgusting drops. Like shouldn't be on an NFL
field level of, of bad drops. And then the only way that you
get to the number of plays that the Browns were able to run is
by sustaining some drives, right?
It's not just a three and out machine, you know.
So there's something there. And I think against the really
bad defenses, you could do worse than some of the Browns weapons.
So I do think that. Joe Flacco.
Yeah, yeah. That's that's faint praise, but
I think he is. Yeah, I don't know.
It's still, I'm jury's still out for me, but I I don't think
that's like an egregious thing at all.
But all right, that's we, we've already spent far more than
enough time discussing Dylan Gabriel, one that is kind of
opposite end of the spectrum and literal polar opposite on the
chart. I I know that I feel like I'm
doing the thing that you hate to do, which is we're going to say
the same thing week over week. And I I gave Sam Darnold his
flowers last week. I need to do it one more time
because Sam Darnold just keeps being awesome.
He's keeps being really good. Yeah.
It helps when you have JSN and JSN is just awesome.
And, you know, winning at all depths can, can do literally
everything. But Sam Darnold, like we need to
put some respect on his name. He here's some some fun Sam
Darnold stats, you know, to go along with he's got crazy
adjusted yards per attempt, like extremely efficient.
He's first overall in big time throw rate, first in PFF passing
grade, last in turnover worthy plays.
So that, that was one thing I wanted to address 'cause I, I
started seeing some narrative like this last week about how,
oh, like he choked away the game against the Bucks.
He threw that last minute interception, lose the game for
them. And I looked into it, he again,
last in turnover worth he plays. It's not like Darnold is out
there like throwing a bunch of interceptable passes or anything
like that. And the interception, if you
actually watch the game, it deflected off of the defender's
helmet and then got picked. So it wasn't like, oh, he just
threw this terrible ball. Hey, he was trying to fit in a
ball into a tight window in a, you know, short yardage
situation and it bounces off a defender's helmet and gets
deflected and intercepted. So I, I just wanted to make it
clear that Sam Darnold slander will not be tolerated.
Another guy who I think has been pretty interesting lately for
fantasy. And I, I want to get your
opinion on this one because I was having a little trouble
parsing if it was just like two good performances, but like more
noise than signal or if it's, hey, this guy's starting to turn
it around in a new system. And that's Trevor Lawrence.
He's still not in a a great part of the chart.
I mean, part of that is from how abysmal the first couple games
of the season were. But his last two games were
pretty solid against tough defenses, too, played against
the Chiefs and against the Seahawks.
And he put up, you know, respectable fantasy days.
The Chiefs came up with a lot of rushing, but I don't think we
can, you know, take that away from and say, oh, well, that's
we we don't get to count that, you know, that they do still
count for fantasy points. But how do you feel about Trevor
Lawrence going forward? So another guy where I think
he's benefiting from like a massively improved offensive
line. Their PFF pass blocking grade is
as fifth in the NFL this year and then where I'm pulling up
ESPN have them as the third best in pass black win rate.
What's hilarious is that I don't I I see he has a 12.3% drop rate
and I don't know how Trevor Lawrence manages to have like
this highly elevated drop rate every single year.
Part of me is that forced to, forced to question like is he,
does he just struggle with catching a passable ball?
And then I see plenty of kind of like film watchers like, yes,
this guy is a hospital ball king.
And, and so I, I don't know, I, I, I at this stage, I don't
think Trevor Lawrence is very good.
I think, I do think that he's a he's got, he got that run thing.
So in games where he runs for touchdowns or he has a bigger
rushing yard, those are going to be good.
I guess I would be somewhat optimistic that the efficiency
would improve as they involve Travis Hunter more.
I'm and obviously it's massively helpful that he has one of the
best offensive lines in the NFL too.
So I think, I think there's, there's like, I guess what I
would say is the environment's pretty good.
It can get a lot better if they involve Travis Hunter more.
So it could honestly be a fantastic environment.
I, I, I don't think Trevor Lawrence is very good.
So I think you can get good games from him, but I don't I, I
guess I don't, I don't think he's going to be a long term
like NFL star or anything like that.
Yeah, I think I, I think I agree with you pretty much there.
I, I don't know if you saw this, but it was the highest, highest
route rate for Travis Hunter this last week.
So that's encouraging there. And I, I do agree with you, that
could be, that could be a major boost for Trevor Lawrence.
If if they do get Travis Hunter going more and we can turn some
of the, you know, Diami Brown targets or what used to be
Brenton Strange targets, if those can be Travis Hunter
targets instead, that's a really big efficiency help.
You know, like that's like think about just his yards after
catchability and you know you he.
Makes the quarterback right on on.
So, so deep balls. Yeah, yeah.
I, I mean, those, there are lots of ways where he can be just
this nice little salve to, I mean, you, you can see Trevor
Lawrence needs help in the efficiency department, right?
Like he's down here with BOE, Nick Spencer Rattler, Kyler
Murray, Like that's not company you want to be keeping.
But I the things that make me optimistic are maybe Brian
Thomas can return to the form we saw last year.
Maybe they involve Travis Hunter a little more and and you could
see that, you know, boost Trevor Lawrence a little bit.
I also, you know, there's room for Basil Tootin to come on down
the stretch and help in some of the like screen game and you
know, passes out of the backfield type stuff.
So definitely I think that Trevor Lawrence isn't good, but
there's room for improvement to where he could be borderline
useful for fantasy, right. But yeah, I thought that was a
good one. He's he's in a good.
Situation that has the potential to be a great situation.
Yeah, yeah. Well put.
As I, I, I think that's the that that kind of highlights like no.
And what's funny is his, his pressure to sack rate is still
like 16 1/2%, which is, and that's decently high, especially
when you consider that he has like this fantastic offensive
line play. And like, I, I, I, I'll say it
again, I really don't think he's good.
I really don't think he's good. And but the the like you like
you're saying encouraged by the situation.
I, it also could be a thing where, you know, we, we saw Liam
Cohen do so much for, I mean, I, I also think like it's important
to separate out like how much of it was Liam Cohen and how much
of it was Baker? Cause Baker is just still
awesome, you know, but we saw Liam Cohen do so much to help
Baker. Maybe there's still some of that
like, Hey, this is just growing pains in a new offensive system
for Trevor Lawrence. But I agree with you.
Like the underlying he he's not going to be like a Baker
Mayfield reclamation project, you know?
Yeah, the the Tang so he he he's always sucked that he still
sucks that in my. Opinion That's a great segue
into the last quarterback on our show sheet and that is Justin
Fields. So are you still sure that
Justin Fields isn't getting benched because man -10 net
passing yards against the Broncos?
Is pretty abysmal and. What?
What was it like? He he true for 45.
He threw for 45 and lost 55 via Sachs.
I I woke up early. I woke up early for this game.
Draco, I woke up, I got my showdown stuff run.
I I submitted it. I watched the game and I was
really upset that I didn't stay in bed.
It was, it was not a pleasurable experience watching this
football game. I mean, Justin Fields isn't the
only one to blame for that. Bonex is also total hot ass.
Like I, I think Bonex kind of stinks, man.
I think we, I think we got the best of Bonex's career already
behind us, man. He he does not look like a guy
that can do it. That was The Jets defense is
terrible like right. The only the only thing, The
Jets. Do it looks like the the the the
prime Ravens defense out there? Like I forget which year, 2006
Ravens or whatever. Yeah, the only thing that The
Jets do well on defense is they can make it really annoying to
throw to your number one target because Sauce Gardner is going
to be on them a lot, you know? And so, and that's what
happened. Like Cortland Sutton really
wasn't involved in this game, but man, I mean, I want to say
like the plurality of the yards came from Evan Ingram.
Like little dump offs. It was it was Evan Ingram.
He. Was like a key chain mover
freedom where like I was out of there turret and Fort down was
was he got the Rachel green targets.
Yeah, as a card carrying member of the Evan Ingram Hater Club,
you were, I'm sure you were seething just watching Evan
Ingram be as involved as he was. And I mean, even me watching it,
I was like, this is not a functional offense, what are we
doing? So I, I was like happy for him.
Like, like it was one of those things where you're like, oh,
hey, that's a that's another big first down for Evan Ingram.
But then I think that was still like 8 or 9 tight end premium
points. And it's like that that's the,
this is the hater in me. It's like, yeah, he he had he
had an explosion game. And you're still not
particularly happy to see him in your flex.
Yeah, I know it's the the guy on the podium biting the metal and
he's all the way down at 12th place.
Yeah, the, and now we just spent a lot of time talking about the
best of the two quarterbacks in this game in Bonex.
Yeah, well, we actually wanted to talk about Justin.
Justin Fields was worse than that.
So we were we just spent all that there is a whole, you know,
a whole tangent about how shitty Bonex looked and Justin Fields
is even worse. I mean, I'm man, it, it's pretty
frustrating to me because in the offseason when we were doing
rankings, I, I was the one to blame for like getting us higher
on fields. That's like, actually, I think
that if he's playing like we gotta, we gotta move up like the
expectation for fantasy points, which is proving to be correct.
You know, like, but you know what it cost us?
It costs us more. Drake may because they were
going right at the same spot and the and I think in hindsight,
like the process was correct. We should have been more bullish
on the fantasy production that Justin Fields can have.
But man, it's just so frustrating watching what I
think is, you know, the next, you know, Josh Allen level best
quarterback in the league breakout from Drake May thinking
I took Justin Fields over this guy like I took the guy who
sure, he'll have some big games, like on his way to getting
benched as The Jets go O and 13 before they roll out Tyrod
Taylor, you know so. Stop me if you've heard this
before, but part of me does wonder if the The Jets are also
not using Justin Fields, right? But yes.
They're not. Like what he does well is the
rushing and I'm not suggesting they should run the wing to you
with Justin Fields, but the rushing is a big part of his
game. And then the deep balls that
look so, so sexy. And I'm looking at his stats
here at PFF. Say he has zero big time trolls
this year. Zero.
And it's like, well, that's the thing that Justin Fields is good
for. What do you mean he hasn't done
it so far this year? And it's it's so frustrating
because his strengths are complementary to each other.
Right. You hey, let's attack them
downfield. OK well now we're creating space
in the short and intermediate area of the field, which makes
it nicer for Justin Fields runs. It makes it better for handoffs
to Bruce Hall like it it does everything and and it makes his
life easier. He can't read a defense to save
his life right. But in those in the in plays
where you're actually like threatening the defense deep and
then he's like, oh God, I got a bail.
If you give him a lot more room to operate on the underneath
stuff, you're at least making it easier for him.
But instead they're just insistent on all these Garrett
Wilson like 5 yard outs, man, or like these little comebacks.
And it's like, dude, that is just not Justin Fields.
It's easy for him. Get him out of the pocket.
Do the half roll out thing where you have like you cut the field
in half, you have the, you have the low and then you work the
high. Like, I feel like he's smart
enough. Everybody's smart enough to make
that read. Yeah, the dude and just the like
forcing him to be like a a timing quarterback like hey, you
just need to, you know, just. Let's let's run the West Coast
offense. Throw with anticipation, Justin.
Read the defense. Justin Like, dude, you're,
you're asking a double amputee to run a marathon like it didn't
happen, right? Just let him let him do what he
could do. So I don't know what the
frustrating part is. I don't think Aaron Glenn gets
fired. He's a first year head coach.
Like they're they're, you know, they're The Jets.
So they do crazy shit, but they're not gonna, you know,
just kick their first year head coach to the curb so quickly and
and then let us. That's expensive, too.
Yeah. So I think that the you you're
stuck with either they just don't figure it out and
eventually Justin Fields gets benched for Tyrod Taylor because
Tyrod can do the things that they're trying to do, or the
coaching staff figures out like, maybe we should try letting
Justin play Justin ball, Which also is confusing to me because
I feel like Aaron Glenn was super vocal about like, oh,
yeah. Like we really want Justin
Fields because he was, you know, he gave us so much trouble when
I was in Detroit. Like, yeah, Justin Fields is,
you know, the exact kind of quarterback I want.
I know what to do with him. It's like, do you do you know
what to do with him? Like it's really frustrating
because he could be so fun and you could really.
Hide our generation's Tim Tebow. You could totally hide the ugly
stuff with him. Yeah, You know, it doesn't have
to be as bad as they're making it, but it's really bad right
now, so. And then I, I don't know if let
me see if I have the no, I don't have it.
Oh, oh, yeah, I do have it. I do have it.
So one thing that Pat was kind of noting on, on the PROE,
obviously they, they had one of the, I think they, they had like
and -15% or like -20% PROE. So like they were running the
crap out of the ball. But one thing that you can do to
make things easier for your quarterback is, is passing more
on 1st down because like, that's when you have the, the
optionality. But they damn it, why am I why
am I not finding this? They had a a -, 6% PREOE on 1st
down as well. All right, so that that that's
for the year. I don't have AI know that was
very it was it was worse than that in the last game, But like
they're they're not like there's very easy things you can do.
There's like play action, there's motion, stuff like that
that they're not doing and that's frustrating.
But I guess the the pushback we got from before was hey, they
are not going to bench this guy. He's got the contract and the
backup is to Rod. So like it's not like there's an
exciting young player that kind of come up behind them.
This is the pushback that we got.
I think the problem is the the environment is so bad and
they're losing these games. Their offensive production is
terrible that that can only happen so many times before
before the hook comes out. So I, I, I, what we're saying,
we feel pretty vindicated that that that that's a very distinct
possibility, very distinct risk going forward given that he's
continued to kind of play that early.
Yeah, I mean, my my rooting interest is that they figure it
out and run a more friendly. Yeah, but and and I mean, even
for fantasy, like I'm not saying he's unplayable in DFS or
anything like that. You know, he he like he is still
good for the massive nuclear spike weeks because he can do
the Justin Fields things. You know, the problem is just
they're setting him up for failure and he's I mean like
he's the one that's out there failing.
You know, it's not it's not just that he's being set up for
failure. He like you, you would hope
right his. Weaknesses are still his
weaknesses. Yeah.
And and they do not appear to be getting better, but I think
that's enough quarterback talk. Let's move on to the running
back chart. Yep, we move on.
So I just as a reminder to everybody, this is 4 weeks
rolling. So we're not including week one
or two in these numbers. It's week three.
True true 6. Yeah, as as the weeks roll on,
Kenneth Walker is going to get knocked off his chart.
He's he's going to be squarely in the backups as these weeks
roll on. But I, I do need to, to begin
this chart with a capitulation. Last week we talked about Tony
Pollard and how dead he was. And there was disagreement to
the degree of dead that he was. And Draco is very right that
Tony Pollard was super duper mega all the way dead.
I said, yeah, he probably loses some of the past game work to to
Tajae Spears and it's he did keep some, but definitely not
enough to be fantasy relevant. Here's The funny thing of the 10
snaps, he's out there for, you know, rushing plays, he gets he
gets the ball all 10 times like they're when he's out there,
they're giving it to him. Then here's the other.
This is the weird thing. And this is the part I actually
want your help parsing. So I, I need to, we're going to
put a pin in the capitulation. Tony Pollard's dead.
We agree on that. Now let's live in the universe
where it's like, how dead is he and is he dead forever?
Because Spears was terrible as a pass blocker.
His pass blocking snaps were atrocious.
I think he was the lowest graded pass blocker by PFF on the week.
I didn't, I didn't check that, but he was excused at the very
bottom. You know, I'm sure that over
some certain threshold he was one of the worst pass blockers.
He did get a ton of snaps in the passing game, right?
And so, so he, he had five, he had five pass blocking and and
26 routes, yeah, versus 13 for Pollard on the routes, 2 pass
blocks. Yeah.
And and so, I mean, we've seen this film before play out for
Tajay Spears where, oh, we're going to use more Tajay Spears
or we're going to use more Tajay Spears and then he just doesn't
get used more. And so it didn't really work
this week. It wasn't like what a
revelation. And so I wonder if that's a, you
know, overtime it does go back to more Pollard.
And he's. I mean, here's the other thing.
Like, I don't think anyone was expecting Tony Pollard to be
like a league winner or anything like that after we saw what the
Titans were going to be this year, right?
Like you, you have an offense that bad like the.
Right, we we had noted that we didn't noted that earlier yeah,
in the year where it's like hey, they're this bad.
It's not we we there was a potential for for league winner
Tony Pollard area on with the like near 100% snap rate.
But now you're you're for a while, he was a happy a guy.
You were happy to play in your like in your in your lineup, but
that that we, we've obviously degraded past that.
Yeah, at this point, you're just praying that he returns to be
Tony Chaperoni for, you know, your, your rookies that are that
are still coming on. But right now, like, he's just,
you know, he might get you 8 points in a week, you know,
because Lord knows there aren't any touchdowns being scored by
this offense. So there's volatility that gets
injected with the Callahan firing and the fact that Spears
still looks like Tajae Spears. But I I do think that, you know,
overall the sentiment is pretty bearish for Tony Pollard.
If there's, you know, if you're in a if you're in a league with
trades, like there's no way you're trading Tony Pollard for
anything valuable, But maybe you could toss him in as like a in a
package deal where he doesn't look quite so bad yet.
You know, he has a bunch of games with a lot of
opportunities and then a down game to the undiscerning eye.
But like, I I don't I don't really want Tony Pollard on any
season long roster in basketball.
I'm hoping he gives me a couple chaperone weeks, but yeah, looks
bleak. Another guy who's in a really
awful team situation. The only the only thing I'd say
about Spears and he is indeed pretty bad.
So what's what's what's weird for me is that what's weird for
me is that they said this guy was terrible.
Like they gave him this 28.2 what you call it pass blocking
rating. So like one of the worst on the
week. And how many pressures do you
think he gave up? And that God awful pass blocking
for his five pass blocks. I mean, with the way you frame
the question, I'll go with 0. Yeah, it's zero.
So like, I I I don't know, I don't know, maybe he got smoked
and and Cam Ward just got the ball out so quick.
But that doesn't sound like Cam Ward.
And then when, when his and the other thing with Spears is his
receiving grade. Fantastic.
Yes, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like, and if you look at
overall offensive PFF grades, like Spears is the only one in
the like mediocre to good category of like the entire
offense other than two offensive guards.
Yeah, no, it's bad. I feel like talking about the
Titans is Plus, you know, I feel like we're in Jurassic Park,
digging through a mountain of dinosaur shit looking for the.
Yeah, yeah, people were just the the the chat is just crying like
Chris G is mourning his his Tennessee bikes and and people
are people are feeling the pain and you're right, we should
probably move on you. You try to.
Move on. And I was like, no.
The bad news is there's cell phone.
We're just elbow deep in a mountain of shit for nothing.
So let's let's move from one shit pile to the next.
And that is briefs who incredible workload, 22 carries,
like guys getting work in the passing game too.
Here's the problem. The team is atrocious.
So it's 22 carries for 59 yards. I mean, God, prior to even even
like going through week five, I was like, you know, you hear all
the rumors about, oh, The Jets might trade Briefs and I don't
really think those are all that substantiated.
I think a lot of it is just fantasy football wish casting
more than anything. But I was like, I don't think
you want a a breeze trade. Like he's got a great role.
You know, Justin Field should theoretically be able to help
the rushing efficiency there if the offense can be borderline
functional. But it's just so far from
functional as we discussed that I'm I'm starting to come around
to like a trade might be a good thing.
And then we already talked about like the shake up of the
organization. I don't think you get a Glen
firing your other shake up could be like a field's benching, but
I don't really think Tyrod coming in is a huge boost to
Breece. The offense gets like a shade
more functional, but I I don't know man, what?
What are your thoughts on Breece going forward here?
So I did, I do think didn't Adam Schefter put Breece in?
It's like this guy could get traded article like I know he
put a lot of names in there, but I, I don't like just to give
Adam Schefter some credit. I don't think he just does that.
Like usually there's, there's like he knows something he can't
say while he's doing a thing, but he's like he chose out those
little scraps. So like I, I, I do think earlier
in, in sorry in the offseason, I agree just with you that it was
very unlikely. Now I think it's it's a very
real possibility just because given where the team is at, it's
the last year of his contract, he's clearly he's got trade
value, which is good for them. And I don't know.
I don't know that the role is so good that a trade would be bad
for him. Like he's he's got it now.
What's good is that he's has a stranglehold on rush attempts
and that he's Breeze Hall. So I don't, even though the risk
rush attempts weren't great against the Broncos, I think
overall they will be good just because he's breeze Hall, but I
think he'll be breeze hall on the rush attempts anywhere.
So I guess he got a stranglehold on the rush attempts.
He's he's splitting the past routes with Isaiah Davis, which,
you know, fair enough, 70%. He's at a 70% snap share.
That feels kind of appropriate where you don't want to just you
don't want to squeeze every little bit of juice out of
money. And he's got nothing left by the
end of the year when the I guess when The Jets play better
matchups, he's going to be, he's obviously going to have better
days. I'm how do I, I guess I'm
rambling a bit, but he's still breathe hall.
You get 20 carries a game and maybe maybe he's around 5 yards
per attempt. He breaks off some long runs.
Maybe he can, he can catch a target and he can turn that into
something I he's not like, he's not like one of the best running
back plays or projections going forward, but he's got, he's got
massive upside every week is probably the way I put it.
And and I, I I would actually be happy with a trade.
Yeah, that's what I think. Yeah, I know.
I'm, I'm there now. I wasn't there before.
But we will refrain from the very masturbatory exercise of
fantasizing about Breece Hall trade landing spots, even though
that's what I want to do in my heart of hearts, because we need
to talk about. What is going to happen in the
Carolina backfield when Chuba is back?
Because Rico Dowdell just absolutely deployed the
intercontinental ballistic missile in back-to-back weeks.
Also, all time quotes from my guy, Rico Dowdell tells tells
his former teammates. You better buckle up those chin
straps before the game, after the game, after he drops his 2nd
consecutive 30 burger of fantasy points.
Second, you know, back-to-back 200 yards of scrimmage games.
He says they wasn't buckled up. I mean, damn, that's ice cold,
man. I so much, so much respect for
Rico. Dude, you know, UDFA just yeah,
got to got to love Rico that that was awesome to see.
Super happy for him to have such a great game against the team
that had no real business not re signing him.
Like you needed to keep that roster spot open for Miles
Sanders. Like you really needed that
extra $2,000,000 that you didn't end up to Cowboys went into the
season with a truckload of caps face because they botched the
Micah Parsons thing. Like, I don't know man, kind of
feels like an extra 2,000,000 bucks just to keep Rico around
instead of Miles Sanders really would have helped.
But how, how does this affect Chuba going forward here?
Now that I mean, the Rico genie is kind of out of the bottle,
right? So they were if, if I'm looking
at if I'm looking at their, their kind of splits.
So week 1 was massive Chuba workload.
Week 2 was Chuba 10 attempts, Rico 6 weak tree was 17 attempts
for Tuba 10 for Rico. Then it was 10 and 9 and that's
probably the week that they got injured and you're and and that
and and weak tree. It was also 12 reps 7.
So I feel like they would, they were, it was probably like a
6040 split even before the injury or at least it was
trending that way. I don't know.
I think that's kind of the way it goes back to like if I'm
looking at kind of the Longview stuff where they obviously they
paid, they paid Hubbard a good amount of money and, and, and
that probably gives him some insulation.
It probably, it probably comes back as like A1A1B is what I'd
say. And maybe maybe 2 drives go to
Tuba, one drive goes to Rico like where it won't be like a a
clear rush and and and route and split or pass and and and and
and rush split. Yeah, I, I think that's, that is
definitely my, my read as well. It's gonna, it's gonna go back
to where it's Tuba's job, but Rico will be much more involved
than he was previously. Probably deflates the tuba value
a little bit. It's kind of I I mean, I think
we can reasonably say that if Chuba never gets hurt and they
play, you know, these last two games, Chuba also puts up
nuclear fantasy scores. You know, Chuba was really good
last year. He had like a little bit of a
slower start to this season, but then they get their two best
rushing matchups of the season and Rico happens to take him.
So I I think it's probably painting Chuba in a little bit
of an unfair light to be like, Rico's been so much better.
It's like, I don't really know about that.
So, and I think you're right with the team really likes
Chuba. Like they extended this guy when
they did not need to extend him and they gave him a lot of
money. Just because they wanted to
reward his good play. Yeah.
And so it's like, OK, well, they, they, they, they're not
going to give up on that guy. Yeah, they're.
Just honestly, I think Rico was probably playing himself into a,
into a 40% split before the Chuba injury.
Like just based on, based on, on, on the week to week stuff
here and, and, and and like that.
That makes me feel stronger about that being the split When
when, when Chuba is back. Yep, yeah, fully agree there.
OK, we, we need to talk about, I feel like that's a, a more fun
situation. You know, we, we get to talk
about, you know, the new, the new and fun, exciting things
happening for Rico Dowdell and looking like a, a fun backfield
with, you know, potentially 2 solid NFL running backs.
Now we have to talk about a really depressing situation.
And he's right above Rico on the chart here.
So as far as like the role and the usage he's getting, you
know, he's getting a lot of volume and that's Chase Brown.
But I have really bad news, Draco, and that is Chase Brown
is the second best running back on the Cincinnati Bengals right
now. And I don't say that lightly.
I I say that having watched Chase Brown and having watched
Semaj P Ryan and I didn't just want to, you know, ball know
where this I went and and backed it up with the PFF stats.
So P Ryan higher PFF rushing grade than Chase Brown this
season, substantially higher elusive rating.
P Ryan is ranked #28 on the season, Chase Brown is ranked
#71 And like, if you watch it, Chase Brown just doesn't,
doesn't look super great, man. I, I think so much of last
season was, and he wasn't efficient last season either.
Like that's the, and we've talked about that before.
You know, it's just, hey, on the back of a lot of volume and
really good offense, he can be a bell cow, which is a really
like, that is a valuable trait. You know, we're not trying to
take anything away from from Chase Brown.
It's just he's not terribly efficient.
And now that you get a really bad offensive situation, it
really rears its ugly head here. So I wanted to play a game.
How over is it for Chase Brown? I'm going to ask you a couple
running backs and this is for like season long redraft.
So you'd have to choose one to start these guys.
You tell me if you'd rather have the guy that I say or Chase
Brown. So first one, Ramondra
Stevenson. Probably, yeah.
Probably Romandre, Zach Charbonnay.
Probably Charbonnay. Kamani Vidal.
Oh, man. Right now it's Vidal.
But Vidal has a pretty good role right now.
OK, last one, RJ Harvey, you're Chase Brown.
It's probably probably, probably Chase Brown still there,
unfortunately. Yeah, Yeah, that's a gross one.
I mean, why do you are? Are you to the point?
Like, are you cutting him? You're not cutting him in a
redraft league, right? He's just like, so he's just a
disgusting roster clogger at this point.
So to be fair, on, on, on. And the last week's splits in
terms of snaps wasn't like a a best approximation given how
down the Bengals were. But he he some IGP Ryan actually
led the team in running back steps.
And so I probably a lot of that was 2 minute real stuff.
Hurry up trying to chase the game.
But that even like when you were dropping Chase Brown in the
second or some people dropped him in the second round or turn
round in the offseason, it would not have been even a remote
possibility for you that semi JP Ryan could lead the team and and
snaps in a given game where where there's not an injury or
something like that. So do you do you drop Chase
Brown? I I, I don't know, like it
depends on how short the bench is like.
Like pretend I have to pick between dropping Harold Fannin
or Chase Brown. Who do I drop?
Probably, Probably Chase Brown. Chase Brown or I have to drop
Travis Hunter. Who do I drop?
Chase Brown. Chase Brown or I have to drop
who's a who's like a pretty shitty one.
I mean, you, you, you hold on to you, you hold on to RJ Harvey
over him even though you'd start Chase Brown over him right now,
right? Like yeah, you'd.
Hold 2 like Chase. Brown is like the median, the
median shitter running back that you pick up on the waiver wire
where like there's been an injury and somebody's going to
have a 50% snap share and they're going to get a couple of
calories. They might get a target or two
and you hope they score eight points that that's Chase Brown
right now. So do you mean to tell me that
if we did the like, you know, faceless player, like who's that
Pokémon style graphic where you can't tell who it is?
You're telling me, Chase Brown, Michael Carter, that's
basically, that's the same shit right now?
I think, yeah. I mean, I think you probably
start Michael Carter over Chase Brown right now.
OK, let's end the pain for the Chase ground drafters.
We'll move on to a different running back that we're going to
need to rag on. Let's move to the next chart
because this guy lives in the backups chart despite being
drafted as high as the third round near end of best of all
draft season. That's Trayvon Henderson
currently dead last and rush yards over expected for Kerry
this last week. Now I I do have some good news
for the Travion managers. You know, you're sitting there
Travion Henderson on your redraft team, much like myself,
you know, got him, got him in a keeper redraft auction league.
So excited to draft him. Got him cheap.
Going to keep him for cheap next year.
Antonio Gibson tears his ACL last week to very unfortunate,
but probably a big benefit for Travion Henderson, right.
He's going to see a lot more work.
Actually, no Trevion Henderson saw his lowest snap share of the
season this last week. And but that's because that now,
listen, Draco, that's because the Patriots are playing a real
juggernaut of an opponent. They were just in a tight game
the whole time. They're really, there wasn't an
opportunity. They couldn't risk getting
Trevion out on the field against the mighty, mighty New Orleans
Saints. You know, they couldn't risk
dropping a game to that juggernaut.
So, yeah, man, it looks bad for Trivion Henderson.
The I mean, the thesis of like, hey, he he was a very good
prospect. Like, I think that's pretty
indisputable. I I don't want people to get gas
into like, oh, Trivion Henderson was never good.
Like, that's not correct. But him being a contributing
fantasy player in 2025 really looks like it's going to follow
the curve of like you're going to wait deep into the season for
this guy to and like something has to change with it's not just
an opportunity thing because his efficiency is terrible.
He's he's the least efficient running back in the league
measured by rush yards over expected.
So any any thoughts on the abysmal Trayvon Henderson start
to the season? And so I'm still I guess he the
the rush yards over expected per attempt is on 41 attempts.
So he has 3.6. He's averaged six 3.6 yards per
carry. He did get 9 carries in the last
game. So like it was probably one of
his higher even though the snap rate was low.
They're using, they're using Romandre as they're receiving
back, the primary receiving back.
They they still are giving Henderson more carries.
So he's I, I bet he's still got more touches and on his, on his
41 attempt so far this year, he has forced 5 missed tackles and
but then his long, his long run is only 14.
I guess the only thing I would say is that like when this guy
gets in the open field, he's like lightning fast.
And it's kind of perplexing that we haven't seen that yet.
Like would you be that shocked if he if in the next game he
gets in the open field and he just blazes down like he gets
like a massive, massive gain for like he scores like 60 or 70
yard touchdown. No, not in the.
Not in the slightest. Would not shock.
Me. But that's gonna happen this
year, right? Yeah.
I If you you don't know when it's gonna happen.
If you made me bet on Will Trayvon Henderson.
Score greater than a 30 yard touchdown at some point this
season. I I would definitely take the
yes, you know, like right so and it's like.
Weird that it hasn't happened, but it's also weird that it
hasn't happened yet. It it is, and I mean, I don't
know about you, but personally, my, you know, elite receiving
back prospect, you know, one of, if not the best receiving back
in the class, best pass blocking back in the class, getting
losing the work to Ramondra Stevenson in the passing game
doesn't feel great. No, no.
So some of that stuff is bad, like where?
Why aren't they using them as a receiver like?
It's got to. Yeah, 6 routes and he did get 2
targets on his six routes. So I mean, you're coming off a
game where he had 11 touches. Yeah.
So like that part is good and like, I know they've hit him for
wheel routes and stuff like that.
I don't know, like I'm still like.
It's just I'm not rating the heart of.
Hell and and say wave the white flag, Trayvon Henderson.
No, no, that's not what I don't think that's what we are doing
here. I think it's more along the
lines of like, this is this is a you have to drag his body to the
playoffs kind of thing to get yeah, for for this guy to be
good for you. And and that's not to say like
there's no way Trayvon Henderson is useful before Week 14.
I think how you described it kind of illustrates like the
nature of the Treveon Henderson play.
You need a genie is out of the bottle kind of moment where it's
like, yeah, OK, Even Vrabel with his like hard O mentality of,
oh, this guy's making mistakes or not doing the little things
correctly, which like a lot of that is getting pointed out by,
you know, people grinding film on Twitter.
Like you're seeing, oh, he actually missed the block that
caused Antonio Gibson's ACL to get blown up or oh, he missed
this pass protection assignment or, you know, he you know, this
route wasn't run correctly or all all these little things
where, hey, he he missed this hole on this run.
And and that's why for Abel benched him like you're getting
all these things brought up. And I think maybe it's just that
Vrabel is letting those be more of a barrier to opportunity than
some other coaches would, but that matters for him.
And, and so you're just, you're basically hoping for these plays
that are like 2% outcomes where it's like, hey, these super
explosive plays where this guy does get into open field and or
like do something extremely special and show off his skill
set. Like they don't happen terribly
frequently, but when they do, that's what makes the guy
special. And then you'd hope that over
time, like he's able to do them at a little bit of a higher
frequency as he develops as a player and gets more used to the
NFL. But it's like, OK, so he's got
41 carries so far. And he's, you know, in our
hypothetical universe, he delivers these special genie out
of the bottle type plays 2% of the time.
Very realistic to not have hit one of those yet on 41 attempts.
So you're just like you're getting a little unlucky in that
the attempts. And you hit one of those and all
of a sudden he's positive rush yards over.
Right. That's the other.
That's the other thing with like low volume rush yards over
expected. I do.
I know rush yards over expected does it's definitely
directionally accurate on guys. Right.
Yeah, no, it's helpful. It's but it's good to look at.
Yeah, it's not. Like success rate, yes, and
other things like that. It's it's helpful to look at.
But I think I think more, more so with it's more helpful, you
know, for success rate than it is for like just saying more
RYOE good, less RYOE bad because it's it's easier to accumulate a
bunch of these little negative RYOE plays like he has.
And and you could accumulate a couple small positive RYOE plays
and then you get 1 breakaway run.
You know, like Miles Sanders was a huge, huge positive rush yards
over expected guy because the 1 breakaway run right?
And so right, it's it's just a stat where like the farther, the
farther away from zero you get like the less signal there is
there, the the signal becomes like is guy fast?
And it's like that's not really what we care about.
We care more about like is guy able to do more with the
opportunity than the average player would?
And so that's kind of where like that stat disconnects from what
we care about. So yeah, anyway.
Here just digging into the numbers presenting a different
way. So Trevion Henderson 3.6 yards
per attempt so far this year. What do you think Ramondra
Stevenson has? 3.94.13.1 OK.
Trevion Henderson obviously is very low in rush yards over
expected percentage at 3830.8. Ramondra Stevens is only 36% so
it's not like it's this great situation and Trayvon Henderson
is just shitting his pants while like reminder is like running
laps around them. Like we're on like and I guess
reminder Stevenson 51 rush attempts, Trayvon Henderson 41
rush attempts. So I guess I like again, I don't
like it's very easy to Barry Henderson.
I think the bigger probably the bigger issue right now is even
with the injuries, even with Henderson get still I was having
touches that's versus 14 from Andre even with that stuff
there. There's that there could be
something there like I'm I'm not I'm not paying.
I'm not probably not playing at Trayvon Henderson and anything
next week either. But like there, there could be
the beginning of something there.
Yeah. All right.
I think that's enough running back talk.
Let's move on to tight end here this week.
Kyle Pitts, king of the tight end charts.
This feels like 2022 all over again.
This the tight end chart is also the rolling four week, just like
the running back charts. So I feel like there's a couple
guys I'll start at the top. Trey McBride finally has a good
game and what do you know it's it's with Kyler Murray out of
the line up. Why is that so I, I, I mean,
wishing Kyler Murray all the best.
I really hope that he gets extremely into battlefield and
and decides he needs a couple extra weeks to let that foot
sprain heal. Cuz I'll, I'll tell you what
man, I'll take Jacoby Brissett over Kyler Murray like straight
up for the the productiveness of Cardinals pass catchers Like I,
I, I don't, I don't need Kyler Murray in there anymore.
And again, Trey McBride is 357 area yards this year.
The next closest is 290 at Turner Henry, then 268 from
Dallas Goddard. So I mean, you extrapolate that
over a full season, his his peripherals are like he's still.
Very good. The the Trey McBride thesis
could still play out, is what you're saying.
He could gap, you know, He could totally.
Yeah, yeah. And and we were on the opposite
page on that side last week. Yeah.
But when I when I look at this some more, he really could still
gap these these other guys. It's not gonna be, it's not
gonna happen in a way because we're just far enough into the
the fantasy regular season that it, there's just not enough time
for that to separate. So it's not gonna happen in a
way where you'd get these crazy Trey McBride advance rates.
He could still be a plus advance rate player just simply by
virtue of where he went in drafts, right?
Like if you were taking training pride over.
It could happen. You you could get some like
serious, like just nuclear McBride McBride weeks.
Yeah. It's just it's going to be.
It hasn't played out like that so far.
Yeah, it's going to be hard to. You need a couple nuclear ones
here and and there's only eight more weeks and he's got to buy
you know, so he's got 7 more games to do it.
You need probably at least three like nuke nukes and then some
good games there. So it seems tough to get like
the Hey, he's just the advance rate monster, but it's very live
that you get the play offs. Hey, it's fantasy play offs and
Trey McBride delivers untouchable spike weeks by the
other tight ends. You know, he Kyler, you know,
has has decided that, you know, he really wants to focus on his
Battlefield 6 and, you know, needs to let his foot continue
to heal. And Jacoby Brissett is still in
there and he's able to see Trey McBride in the end zone and Trey
McBride becomes a touchdown machine.
And you're just getting a guy who's basically like a wide
receiver one, but he's playing in the tight end position.
You're getting 100 yards and a touchdown every week from.
Him so that's Harrison concussion stuff that that's
obviously wish him a Speedway recovery too, but that that's
that's been helpful. That was helpful for McBride as
well. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.
So in the short term, like you, you know, you get that bump for
sure. But yeah, I, I think, and I
think, you know, Bowers, I I'm pretty sure we've talked about
this. I don't know how much we flesh
this out on the show, but we we talked about it, you know,
privately and you know, like up ranking stuff.
And we're I think we're both of the opinion that Bowers is going
to miss through the buy. I think he's basically alive
for, you know, he he's not going to be able to do the oh,
McBride, you know, he saves he saves his season and is a good
advance rate piece. Like I think that's curtains for
Bauer just because of the higher price and the fact that he
really didn't have a good game prior to getting in.
You know, he gets injured in the first half of the first game.
So he doesn't have it was. Like a 20 point tight end
premium week. Yeah.
Yeah, 100 yards. But.
He it didn't clear the Bauer or anything like that.
Yeah. And so then you, you know, you
miss all these regular season games, but he's still alive to
be absolutely the guy that you need in the playoffs because the
rest of the tight end position is kind of playing out the way
that we thought where, you know, you get the big weeks from
Ferguson, but that's going to come back down to earth here
with CDI. Think he's a decent sell high
candidate. Another one.
Juan yeah, where it's these guys can can pop for a week or two at
a time, but there's no one out here that's sustaining really
high end tight end production week after week after week.
And and even the ones that have sustained better production like
Dallas Gotter has had a hot stretch here.
Samuel Port has strung together a couple good games.
Yeah, even those guys are not looking like they're going to
deliver like this full season of just smashing like it.
It's just these like little spurts here.
I'd say Tyler Warren's the closest one, but he's not
delivering monster weeks. He's just consistently
delivering good weeks, which is very, you know, for the price
you paid for him, it's a smash. But still, I, I don't think that
anyone is, is going to be able to hold a candle to the actual
ceiling that McBride and Bowers have.
I I'd say Warren can contend with those guys ceiling, you
know, coming down the stretch of the fantasy playoffs.
But those those three do to me at least, have the the highest
chance to just be like the absolute season defining plays
at the position, Which is funny because it really felt like it
was just going to be like whatever late tight ends ended
up, you know, stringing together useful weeks.
But I, I think, I think that's possible.
All right, that was enough rambling.
Was there any other tight end that you wanted to talk about
here? So we should talk about Fanham
because we talk about him every week, but we'll, we'll keep it
brief. Where he had his highest, he had
his highest rat rate of the season on 78%.
Combined that with a 22% targets for a run on 6.6 A dot.
So that that that that meant he got 10 targets last week, which
was second or third behind McBride and got Goddard, who got
11 each. And so again, wish and Joku the
best in his recovery. But I think I think Fannin
becomes a pretty, pretty good tight end start in Joku's
absence, especially with the the the high drop back count that
the Browns give. Again, I think Dylan Gabriel is
OK. So I I think that's helpful for
Fannon. Yeah, definitely.
It's a, it's a wheels up spot for Harold Fannon.
One other guy that I think we should mention, Kate Auten,
we've talked about it before where we're like maybe with all
the injuries, he gets something. I mean, surely now, you know, a
book is out, Godwin's Evans is out, we're throwing.
I mean, Baker is just throwing to remember that guys and
Sterling Shepherd and you know, Tyler Johnson and or no, not
even Tyler Johnson, Tess Johnson, Cameron Johnson, all
the Johnsons. Baker's just out there chucking
it to. As well, you can call that the
Bucks, the Johnson, the J&J Johnson and Johnson.
Yeah, but I think that I this is gonna sound weird.
I bet you Kate Auten goes under the radar this week.
I know it sounds crazy. Like how how could he possibly
go under the radar? He just hasn't done anything
yet. And I feel like you've got
enough. Like we already had the
injuries. You know, people already played
out the like, oh, Kate Auten should get a bump here.
Thesis. You know, does he does he manage
to fly under the radar inexplicably this week?
I I think he could really be like a true target earner in the
Jake Ferguson, you know the 30% TPRR with 3.8 A dot like that
that seems on the table for K dot in here.
Yeah, so he's still running all the routes Week 6 with all the
injuries, he did have a 25% tiger spread run with like a
four 4 yard A dot. So definitely, definitely in
play, like definitely a pretty good at tight end option with
all those injuries. Last note I had on tight ends,
Darnell Washington led the Steelers in routes I believe
this week. No, he did. 61% and then at 26%
targets per out run like that's nuts.
Yeah, truly disgusting stuff. He looks so funny running
downfield too, because he's just so large.
Like there are, there are linebackers like trying to run
with him and even the linebackers look really small
next to him. It's it's pretty comical stuff.
But the the whole point of bringing that up, other than the
fact that it's really fun to watch Darnell Washington just
run in the open field, is that there is not a a viable Steelers
fantasy tight end. You cannot play anyone.
It's a mix between Darnell Washington and Janu, and then
Friar Muth is a distant third. Pretty crazy too.
Also, I believe there was a fourth tight end Hayward.
Was it Hayward that caught the touch?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so just just sick, sick,
sick shit from Arthur Smith. Just making sure that you know
no tight end can be usable there.
The other one I want to call out is Oranda Godson on the
Chargers. So he's up to he was up to 77%
route rate and he actually saw a 27% target sprout run.
So I don't think he's going on the radar.
We had eight targets, 47 area yards like that's that seems
like wheels up for him. It's weird that it happened so
quickly, but that I know they didn't.
Didn't Tyler Conklin make some massive mistakes for the
Chargers or one of those other shit or tight ends?
They made a massive mistake, and maybe they're just like, OK,
well, if we're gonna get mistakes, let's get some, let's
get some upside. Yeah, I, I think it's probably
more to do with QJ missing because they just needed some
other competent pass catcher. And I guess that probably means
that it's like, was he actually? Outright or was he in line?
Is he good? That's a good question.
The other thing with Gadsden is this happened once already this
year where he got he got like 7 targets in a game already and
then came back down to earth. So to me it's like you're seeing
these flickers like there, there's something there but it's
not, you know, it's not like a thing where you're going to, you
can't hold them for redraft or anything like that.
You certainly can't start him. It's encouraging for like long
term. He'll he'll probably there's a
chance. They saw 28 inline snaps, 14 in
the slot. So they were playing them.
They're they're playing them as a real boy.
Yeah, tight end. Let me let me look up Conklin.
Conklin saw tree snaps. And who's the other guy for the
Chargers? Disley.
Disley Disley saw 24. Yeah, I saw a decent amount of
Disley out there. I know he got a target as well,
but yeah, I. He led the team in in line snaps
which that seems interesting. Right, Yeah, he's, I mean,
Gadsden's really interesting. It's it's probably the the tough
part about him is you're probably like confined to
showdown slate play and then like you're hoping that the
Chargers are healthy and good by the time it's playoff basketball
time and you're drafting some around against, you know, like
that's. You don't think he's like in
like dog bowl stuff where like people have to draft like
there's going to be 12 tight ends drafted.
You don't think he's like a punt?
Where do you play even? Not, I mean like, not this week,
you know, I don't know. I'd probably just maybe we need
to, maybe we need to get that snap rate twice in a row.
Yeah, that's, that's more what I, cuz I feel like even in a
spot where you're the last guy to draft a tight end and you're
looking at Gadzin versus like, like a guy like AJ Barner is
gonna be there, you know, and I'll just take AJ Barner who's
getting more even though he's in a timeshare, you know, like he's
getting more snaps or like I would, I'd take a like who else
would be there as an undrafted like AI Guess you'd probably
take him over Mason. I'd take Michael Meyer over him
though. Michael Meyer like got a.
For sure. So it's, it's just hard for me
right now. But yeah, you, you give me this
back-to-back weeks, then for sure.
He's on the menu. It's just it's one where it's
like the reward for playing it before I see it feels relatively
minor to me. I don't know, maybe I'm thinking
too narrowly about it, maybe his maybe he's got more ceiling that
I'm giving him credit for there. So I could, I could just be
wrong there as I think more about it.
Yeah. So he had so 41 drop backs in
week 5, that was 25 S and he had 25 routes.
So what's that like a 70% rate rate 25 by 41 stock chasing in
it 25 / 41 60% and then it what 22 routes?
So you're, you're definitely saying a very noticeable like
uptrend. Yeah, where?
Like, maybe you're right. Maybe he's just you.
You can play it before you see it.
I mean, like, I'm not going out of my way to take him over.
Well, you, I don't think I, I think you've seen it where you
got 8 targets, 7 receptions and 68 yards.
He didn't get a touchdown, but you've seen like a pretty steady
increase in routes. He's he's gotten the usage last
week and I think you've seen it. Yeah, I guess I my, my concern
is that it was like their hand was because there's no QJ, you
know, like they that's not plan A Plan A is like, we'd rather
build the plane around QJ and then have Keenan and Ladd be our
complimentary pastor. Yeah, maybe.
Maybe they prioritize them in terms of like targets, but like
the IT seems like they're they're prioritizing and Gadson
that's that's their fight in any anyway.
We probably. Yeah, I'm, I'm coming, I'm
coming around. You're getting me to come around
on Gadson, probably. He's probably a better salary
cap DFS play than than Dog Bowl. Yeah, that makes sense.
If he's like, I haven't looked at his price, but all right,
let's move on to wide receiver charts.
Yep no needs up but backup tight ends.
So I mean to start off JSN is just him him.
I don't have anything else add other than that.
Or, well, I think a lot of JSN success is due to the fact that
he just keeps ever. It's so weird man, but every
week they keep rolling out backup running backs to play
corner against him. It's so strange that that keeps
happening, but. Every team has a designated like
Rudy like player where like they only play to guard JSN whenever
they play. It's just some literal practice
squad guy. They don't even have the name on
the back of his jersey. They just put him out there in
some unmarked jersey to guard JSN.
No, yeah, JSN is awesome. It's been super fun watching him
crush. But a guy who's also been
crushing as of late, who has more competition coming down the
pipe than than JSN, George Pickens, you know, comes off a
huge, huge game here. He has a quieter game against
The Jets where, you know, we've seen that pattern with The Jets
now. That's two weeks in a row where
The Jets have Sauce Gardner really take away the number one
receiver and then teams just say, OK, we will do other things
than that. I mean, the Broncos did not do
anything other than that successfully.
But the Cowboys just throw to, you know, total bums like Ryan
Flanoy and and get there with, you know, 100 plus yard games
against them. Meanwhile, George Pickens now
not against The Jets, just goes absolutely nuclear, puts up a
huge stat line, also wins in like all the different ways.
It was pretty fun watching it because it was like he ran the
gamut of all the stuff that we've seen George Pickens do.
It's not like none of none of this was new.
Like, Oh my God, we didn't know George Pickens could do this.
We've seen him take the slants to the house back when he was in
Pittsburgh. Like they didn't do a ton of it
there. But like we've seen that a
couple times for him. It's like, oh, they should do
that more. Cowboys move George Pickens
around more this week and used him more closely to like how
they deploy CD typically, you know, but he also he wins the
deep ball. He he does the run after the
catch stuff makes a really good move in the middle of the field
to like turn a a what would be a you know, shorter catch in a
like a 40 yard game. He just he looked really good.
Looks like a complete what could totally be an alpha receiver on
a team that had less wide receiver talent competing but
CD's coming back. And so I wonder what you think
of Pickens here. Are we are we likely to see him
come back down to earth when CD gets back?
Or how do you see this playing out?
So give me one second. But the one, the one thing that
I think is is the relevance that here I think is how many times
are RAM? Is that Prescott like dropping
back a game? Yeah.
Let me, I want to go to passing for him.
And so he is dropping back. What is it, 30 * a game?
Yeah, sorry, sorry everybody. As I, as I look up this, this
elementary stack, he's dropping back 40 * a game.
And I would say that he's let me see, he's turning those into
most of those into past attempts.
So probably drop something like 38 passes a game.
And the for some reason that the Cowboys offensive line is is
balling out. So all about to say is that even
though he be, he downgrades from the number one to the number 2
like I, I, I think that's, that's funny.
Awesome. When when you are in a passing
attack that has this much volume.
Yeah, I I agree. I think it's you can make the
comparison to, you know, the Bengals passing game when Joe
Burrow is there obviously and you have the DeMar Chase, T
Higgins, George Pickens is like a a more complete T Higgins to
me, where Higgins does the like contestant catch stuff that
Pickens does. But I, you know, I would say
Pickens does that a little better.
And Pickens can do some of the other stuff too that you would
want your number 1A receiver to be able to do.
He he's just I, I think he's one of the best receivers in the
league. So you get both of them.
And I think just having this time where it's like, hey, we
have to build the plane out of Pickens for a little bit, only
can benefit him going forward once they get CD back because
now they've seen he's able to answer the call when they have
to go to him, Like they can feel a lot more confident that he's
going to be able to answer the call.
So definitely think he still hangs on like Pickens.
For Pickens 2 is that even when CD was playing, it wasn't like
Pickens was just he's only lining up as the X.
He never moves around. He's always on the right side of
the formation. That's where he's out.
They've been moving him around. So even when picking alarm comes
back, he'll still get a handful of slot snaps and he'll still be
switching sides. So like I don't think we're just
going to get him in like an X, take the top off the defense
type role when that when Lamb is back, obviously Lamb is going to
get the line share of the targets, but going to be plenty
there for Pickens. Yeah.
Like, for example, a thing that I wouldn't be doing right now is
I'm not trying to sell George Pickens high just for the sake
of selling him in a league where you can trade him, right?
I mean, if I'm selling, yeah. I mean when when Lambs come
back, you probably still play Pickens in in in DFS and stuff
like that. Yeah, yeah.
And if I'm going to sell him high, it better be high.
Like I'm not just trying to sell him to sell him, you know,
another receiver that I wanted to talk about and Drake London
finally gets right, you know, big positive regression
candidate and that he had the wave targets for route run.
Just hadn't had the big fantasy game yet.
Has a really, really big game. He's close to another touchdown
too. You could have been even bigger
game. But he, you know, finally makes
good on all the volume that he's getting.
Do you think? I mean, I would assume that it
it probably because before he really just was not producing a
ton and then he has this big blow up game.
I'd like to think that it's probably a little bit more
steady going forward where it's not going to be just this like
famine of fantasy points. And then all of a sudden he has
the explosion explosive game. The profile doesn't really seem
like that. It's not like he wasn't earning
targets before. He was getting the targets.
It just wasn't nothing was happening.
So I, I think you probably get a little bit more steady output
from Drake London going forward now that we've seen proof of
life that, hey, he actually can do it.
Michael Pennix can connect with him.
But yeah, big, big game to get right there and move his dot up
into a more appropriate part of the quadrant given his way to
targets per route run. Yeah, the other guy whose dot is
on a, a lengthy migration, I mean, it, it, it was bad.
I mean, he's still in the, he's in the wind sprinter quadrant
still, but he's migrating up and to the right.
And that's Lad Mcconkey. This is 1 where I'm, I'm pretty,
I could see it going either way. Where QJ gets back and Lad is is
back to not being, you know, the primary target again, which is
totally different than we had it coming into the season.
But sure seems like the Chargers really like having the plane be
built out of QJ and have LAD and Keenan kind of be these
secondary guys. Or at the very least, you know,
it's just even split between all of them.
But I, I wonder if like this QJ missing time and then, you know,
making a lad of focal point kind of reminds them like, Oh yeah,
this lad Mcconkey guy's really good.
Maybe we should should get him the ball a little bit more.
So I I wonder how do you how do you think this plays out for
Ladd? Does he continue to approach
more of what he was last year or is he kind of just doomed to be,
you know, this one, one part of a three-way, you know, more or
less even split in this charged offense?
So it's kind of a good news, bad news.
I guess the bad news is that so he had eight targets, his his
per game average was 6.6. So I guess that that's, that's a
little bit of an increase, but it's like not a terrible
increase. I think the big difference that
came in this game is that on similar usage, Mcconkey just
played really well and said so had a yeah, had a great game.
I, I don't think he got, he didn't get targeted that much
more. His air yards weren't that much
more. And, and I, I kind of like, I
kind of throw out the like the last two games where Herbert
just running for his life like nobody's getting there.
And, and, and, and I think this compares pretty favorably to
those first tree game or it's pretty similar to those first
tree games. And in terms of when QJ comes
back, I, I still think you're going to get like 6 to 8 targets
a game for Mcconkey. That's where he was.
That's probably a little bit, still a little bit disappointing
where you need to play really, really well on those 6-8 targets
that have the big game. Does him playing this well ice
out QJ? That's probably up to QJ, isn't
it? Where like we've probably had a
really good start to the season for QJ, but we know deep down in
our heart of hearts that he's probably not like one of the
best players in the NFL. Like I think he's good, but not
not one of the best players in the NFL, which is what he's
looked like. And so maybe as QJ's play comes
down back down to earth and Mcconkey's play comes up to the
level, we know that that can happen.
But it's, I guess there's, there's signs of life, there's
signs of life is what I'd say. Yeah, Yeah.
I think that's a pretty reasonable way to look at it.
Basically, it wouldn't surprise me to see Ladd and QJ kind of
converge on this chart to where they get similar weighted
targets for route run. You actually probably, I mean,
QJ is going to be the favorite to have a higher weighted
targets for route run just because he's getting the stuff
deeper down the field. So Ladd would would have to earn
just more raw volume to kind of get closer to him there.
But it wouldn't surprise me to see them both get closer to, you
know, each other where they're at on the chart right now.
Keenan had good targets, you know, the previous week, but I
believe he was believe he was lower this week.
I don't have it pulled up. Yeah, I'll pull it up real
quick. OK, So Keenan Allen, so in the
first five weeks, he averaged 8.6 targets a game.
He had nine in, in week 5, he had seven in weeks 6.
He did only get the the 27 yards.
And what's weird is he actually had a 10A dot.
And so like that's a, he had 70 area yards, only converted out
to 27. So it must have been a lot of
incompletions there. And so that's why he didn't get
on the stock sheet. I mean, I guess on this per
route stuff, they're still involving him.
Like he was a 24% target sprout run that is on a 74% route rate
that to me that's just kind of like that.
That's that's as you wear for for Keenan Allen where he's a
key part of the offense like, but not not the focal point.
And you are going to have that you're going to have pretty good
weeks. But then, yeah, it doesn't
surprise me that you're going to have some down weeks like this
as well. Yeah, his his receiving grade
has trended down in the last couple weeks as well.
Started a little higher, but last week was his worst PFF
receiving grade. But yeah, similar, similar
Staffs. He he he turned 70 area yards
and it's 27 actual yards. If so, make it does not surprise
me they don't think he played well.
But yeah, I I wouldn't be surprised to see him get back
closer to the beginning of the season.
You know, the targets are still pretty similar.
So I think it's just going to be split where it's probably.
Cute. When you score some touchdown,
he's going to have a pretty nice week.
Most other weeks it's going to be fine, not not amazing.
And then you'll have some weeks like last week where you know,
it just didn't connect. So he's not, he's not looking
great. Yeah, Yeah, I think, I think
it's going to emerge as QJ and Ladd are kind of like the 1A and
1B and Keenan is the, you know, 2A in the offense where they're
all pretty darn close to, you know, interchangeable, but.
But it is fair as as like an older player that his his his
role kind of like his ability and role kind of declines like
that. That's a reasonable expectation
over like what is it a four month season like that that
happens, but we're not seeing it right now I don't think.
Yeah, OK. I think we can move on to the
next chart here and Yep. Sounds good.
RIP puka. RIP Yeah comes back.
Yeah, I really hope he doesn't miss too much time.
He's just been such a fun player since he entered the league.
You know the football is less exciting to watch without puka,
so hope he is back soon. You had a good note.
All about them. What's his name?
Yeah. And then the Chargers stock
receiver. Why not Chargers cults?
Yeah, but is is Downs not on this chart?
Is Downs on the next chart? Yeah.
Yeah, he is. Yeah.
Let's just talk about Downs. I didn't.
There wasn't a time on that last.
Show So Josh Downs What's funny is over the last three weeks,
Josh Downs leads the Colts in in targets with 19.
But I I what? What was my note that he he only
converted that into 190. Yards, yeah. 120 yards, so 19
targets last three weeks. You actually get a 70% route
right And that's as the MO Ali Cox, the tight end to playing a
lot less. So I mean that that's
encouraging that they decided that the team is better when
Josh stands plays over rare journeyman tight end MO Ali Cox,
especially on the passing downs. It's only a 6.4 A dot.
So I think there's some pretty encouraging signs there.
But it's it's also a little bit discouraging that there that
he's kind of being shoehorned into this low A dot slot route
roll, I guess in the context of the overall Colts offense.
And that's been good for them. They've liked that.
And then obviously you had the you had the nice usable week in
week 6 where he caught the touchdown.
He caught them. He got some targets and got some
yards here. I guess we I in the first couple
of weeks, I Josh Downs is kind of dead and buried.
He's probably he's probably this is probably a good, good kind of
floor for him where 70% route rate he's getting decently
targeted what their low A dot and so he's probably putting up
like what 88 points a game unless he scores a touchdown and
then it'll be in double digits. Yeah, so I'm pulling up.
I'm looking at all the Colts receivers and it's pretty clear
or all the Colts main pass catchers, including Tyler
Warren. It's pretty clear.
The delineation of how they're using them, where they all have
pretty similar A dots, actually. They all operate relatively
short and downs has been more of a focal point in these last
couple weeks where Pittman has been the one that's seen his
targets decline. Tyler Warren basically is like,
yeah, I'm just going to get mine every game.
Like the Tyler Warren targets are are just here to stay.
You know, his lowest number of targets so far this season was 4
and that was last week where I believe he gets a couple like
goal line rush attempts and stuff like like they're
involving him. You know, it's not like only
four targets is like No 4 targets since the high value
touches. So Tyler Warren is basically
like the planes built out of Tyler Warren.
And then they decide between Pitman and downs which guy is is
going to be more useful in that spot.
But they all have pretty similar A dots Warren A dot so far on
the season 6.4, Downs A dot so far on the season 7.5 and then
Pitman's A dot so far on the season is 9.3.
So Pitman's operating a little deeper when you look at their
receiving depth chart on PFF, Pitman is actually the one
that's getting the like over the middle type stuff, the like 10
to 20 yards, the the intermediate like splash zone
targets. So those are actually going to
be a little bit more valuable for fantasy if he can do
anything with with those after the catch where all of down
stuff is underneath. Downs in total has like what is
it 2, 46? Downs has 6 targets greater than
10 yards down the field. You know, it's all coming
underneath. The vast majority of it is just
short, shallow crosser stuff to Downs are like quick slants,
those types of things. He has some stuff outside the
numbers, but not not a ton. So yeah, I think it's probably
just going to be matchup dependent.
I think Steiken is a really good head coach and understands how
to deploy his players. I think they know that Downs is
probably their best like real receiver, but you know, Pittman
is still useful for them and they use him in a different way.
Pittman is just basically deep middle downs.
And then but there's really not a lot of vertical stuff between
those guys that's that's pretty much pigeon holed to like the
Alec Pierce and AD Mitchells of the team.
So they have their like very defined roles, you know, no one.
So they're. I think I'm not getting a lot of
intermediate from Daniel Jones, which I guess good on them.
Yeah, yeah, no, it's yeah there. There really isn't a lot of
intermediate passing in this offense.
It's mostly short with like a smattering of intermediate and
and not much deep. I think like as far as how
actionable this is for fantasy, all of these got the receivers.
Downs of Pittman are just like you're, hey, I have a bye week
and I need to play someone. But these are these are players
that are going to get targets every week.
You know, they they have like they have a floor Warren you're
ecstatic about because the position the bar is so much
lower and he's he's just such a clear focal point of the
offense. Like he is he's the 1A of all
the receivers and then Downs and Pittman are kind of trading off
there for the secondary role. As far as best ball goes, I
think you're pretty happy with all three of them.
You're very happy with Warren and you're pretty happy with
Downs in Hitman cost. So I think if you if.
You're saying you're doing discount That is not playing
out. Yep, and Anthony Richardson is
on IR with an orbital bone fracture, so let's see.
Any other guys we needed to cover?
So the one thing that is kind of crazy here is so Tez Johnson had
a an 84% route rate in week 6. He had a hit a 2.1 yards per out
run, 14% A dot or no targets per out run, 14% A dot on a 26A dot.
So like he, he's now the deep ball guy for Baker Mayfield.
It, it, it appears, it appears so that that seems pretty
interesting. It's maybe he maybe he's just a
prayer yards guy, but still interesting.
Sterling Shepherd. He is 80% rent rate AT14A dot or
80% rate rate, 15% target rate run 14A dot probably just still
just Sarah and Shepard, Cameron Johnson, he had a 48% right
rate, but heavily targeted. And I think I think that there's
probably some value in these in these kind of discount Tampa Bay
receivers. We'll probably we'll probably
end up playing in him one of these guys in in the main event
as injuries pile up on some rosters.
Is there anyone, any any of them other than K dot and that
interests you? Yeah, I think that's a really
good call, I think. I think the play is Sterling
Shepard. He and Baker have AI believe
they played together in college, correct?
That I do not know. And Baker played for OU, right?
Yeah, let's see. Oklahoma.
Oh yeah, they did. Yep, Yeah, they did.
So yeah, I think and we've seen, you know, we've seen a
connection between them in the NFL too.
I think that you just get a good amount of heaping healthy
helping of Sterling Shepherd. He's been competent too with
with the Bucks. I'll pull up the Sterling
Shepherd stuff because I do think this is a good.
Good little bit of alpha. Let's see so his his receiving
stuff for this last week. Yeah, not not a ton of routes He
is running most of them outside too.
He's operating in the slot a good amount, you know 50% slot
rate, but he it's not like he's slot only.
I mean, it is a pretty high slot rate, but yeah, still didn't get
a ton of targets this last week even with all the injuries.
But I mean, he's been pretty consistent with targets so far
this season, you know, averaging just a little under 5A game.
I'd expect that to go up. He's not.
He's not going to be the deep downfield guy though.
His A dot is 10. As Johnson is the deep down the
field guy, all the receivers have good A dots just because
Biggert chucks it. Yeah, as I, when I look at his,
yeah, I'm looking at the receiving depths chart and
everyone, it's all splash zone Baby Baker, Just yeah.
Sarah and Shepard 13.7. Tess Johnson 26.3 Mecca Buca
11.5 Cameron Johnson 11.3. K dot in four.
Rashad White. K dot in four.
Tree. Yeah, Baker is so fun, dude.
I yeah, I, I think, I think you just load yourself up with with
bucks receivers and you pray min min price Bucks receivers and
pray. Yeah, it seems seems pretty fun.
It is fun that all these like random guys.
What's the game where people play where you you have to guess
what features they have and they pull down Guess who, Guess who.
Yeah, it's definitely a guess who receiver run.
Oh man, I was going to say like on the main slate, this would be
fun because it's it's probably going to be a bunch of men price
guys and you just you get them all low owned and you can do a
bunch of Baker stuff against the Lions, but it's actually the
Monday night game against the Lions.
And there's two Monday night games, so it's probably like a
three gamer. Yeah, it's a 2 gamer for
Showdown though. That's going to be really fun.
You get all the all this ambiguity with Bucks receivers
should be a really interesting one.
And of course, for the 2 gamer, it's probably even it's even
better for the 2 gamer because for Showdown, I would assume
they're priced up enough to where it's not.
You know, there's no free squares or anything, right?
Yeah, should should be a fun one.
That's that's definitely a game to watch.
Bucks Lions should be a really good one.
Honestly two of the better teams in the league right now.
I wish we were getting the Bucks at full strength, but it'll be a
testament to Baker. Right, yeah.
The Lions that they, I don't think they're, they're, they're
defensive backfield. No, the the Lions defense will
certainly be cooperative with allowing the Bucks to to try and
get there with their second stringers at receiver as well.
I'm honestly, I'm pretty fascinated by Tess Johnson where
he's getting the routes now and I get 7 targets in the last two
games. So like not the most amount of
targets, but I don't know. He seems pretty fun where he he
was awesome for for Oregon with with Dylan Gabriel as his
quarterback. He's he's small, short and slow,
which is not a great couple of people.
OK, so, so for Tez Johnson, if I'm you know, for this, for this
showdown slate that's coming up, where does he fall on the Luther
Burden scale of how hard I need to adjust the projection?
Because for Luther burden last night I literally doubled his
projection. I went in, I saw what the
projection was. I just two X that sucker and
said there's enough fragility here.
Yeah. You're not.
I don't think you're doing that. You.
Don't want me to. You don't want me to double the
Tez Johnson projection. I think his.
His reasonable projection is like 6 or 7 points.
OK. He'll probably project.
I I think he should project for seven.
They'll probably put him in his five.
Yeah. OK.
So that that's what I think. For the record, Luther Burden
cleared his his double projection.
So ball knowers, we we won no money off of that by the way,
because of Chris Moore, the Chris Moore touchdown Pitt that
Luther burden. So he was not not valuable.
Min Min Price. Winner sloppies, they got there.
I mean, I I slammed Chris Moore too.
It just doesn't really matter when the 200 when the min price
$200 wide receiver comes in at 20% owned in the the large field
Lotto, you know he's pretty chalky, so.
Yeah. All right, I think that's that's
all the receivers we had to cover today.
Anything else before we sign off Draco?
Do we need to talk about Wordy? I don't think so.
I don't think we've got anything new to say on Wordy.
No. I think we're good.
All right.
Well, I will. I'll look forward to seeing you
all here again next week after we are officially halfway
through the fantasy regular season.
Good luck this week and until next time.
Yeah. Good luck everyone.
Thanks for joining.
