Half PPR Mock Draft w/ RotoPat, Andy Behrens, Ian Hartitz | Rotoworld Draft Marathon | NFL on NBC

hello everybody it is draft week at roto world in NBC Sports this is me our first of many many mock drafts we are starting with a 0. five PPR you know this is the format for if you you don't quite want it to only be about touchdowns but you're a little scared a full point per reception um this is the great middle ground honestly probably the best scoring format it's not the scoring format that I use uh but it's really really good middle of the road you can't really go wrong with any different strategy uh we've got a lot of expert drafters here including Yahoo's Andy Barons fantasy life's Ian hardit Roto worlds Denny Carter myself Patrick Dy from rot World joined by a lot of our friends helping us off screen um to just draft some really really good teams and listen Denny's got the first spot which I'm sure is giving him anxiety I have the 10th pick which is giving me far greater anxiety but Andy Baron's very curiously a video came on right at the beginning where you told me the 10th pick was delightful and you said don't let anyone tell you different and that's the most amazing pick you could ever have and uh why is that and why why why do you lie to your viewers why do you lie to our consumers having being good first of all I can't believe that you gave me the ninth pick where I'm considered most dangerous that's crazy uh that I'm I'm pretty sure I didn't hype the 10th pick I I might have but usually I try to find a way to to not you know you you want to make people feel okay like winning is still possible um but there is like when you start looking at the the history of different draft slots and you're you're tasked with the weird responsibility of giving people pep talks before their draft um you do find that like the first half of the draft is definitely where you want to be historically there are small differences it's not a huge difference you can win from anywhere but little bit more you you can't actually like four people did it last year you know where you can win from is if you read rotoworld.com if you read Yahoo we have experts Galore and we've been partnered up for years but we're closer than ever this season and fantasy football season

Andy we love Yahoo Denny I doubt loves the first pick D he's he's in hives he's dry sweating that's not a thing dry but uh he wants to take a wide receiver now he feels like he needs to take Christian mcaffrey bet who's not practicing I'm sure it's totally fine I'm sure he's not hitting the age or usage Cliffs at all at age 28 heading into 2024 I'm Denny since we've had like a real home League Draft we've had several false starts and paused three times yeah um so you've had a lot of time to think about this pick you've got about 40 seconds to make it what are you thinking here at one1 right I mean you you guys have Frozen me like a kicker in overtime you know and and I I DJ hit him with another timeout yeah I'm gonna take I'm gonna take Roshan Johnson this just completely flumix um yeah I mean look look you're gonna force me to take CMC of course uh do I want to absolutely not um but you know you just don't then uh I can't I can't not I can't so it's against the rules his hands are tied I I have no choice um no choice to select CMC number one for the third time yeah so I'm I'm taking them I'm taking CMC off the clock Anthony Rymer immediately smashes the CD lamb at two Tyreek Hill at three this is where the dilemmas really are this year I just feel like I don't know what I don't know what to do in any spot like am I betting on another historic Tyreek Hill season am I betting on the age or injury Cliff with CMC am I betting on CD lamb who hasn't practiced this summer ree Hall who was good for six weeks last year yeah I mean I know he finishes like the rb2 ban and his issues Justin Jefferson and his quarterback issues Jamar Chase it's just such a crazy year Ian and uh yeah I think you're NE no it's Andy Barons is next to well Ian are you Greg dorch wide receiver one who are you are you on the clock right now okay you actually are on the clock wait who is that no that is me okay yeah uh Bean Robinson come on down um beon would you have taken Bree super there because I feel like that is one of the hinge Point questions of draft this year Bon versus Bree I've been leaning Bree but been feeling increasing Bon pilled um would you have taken Bree if he was there or were you happy with the Bon I'm actually team Bon completely out on Bree Hall this year he's only my rb3 and you know I got beon sitting there as a rb2 so yeah with h Bean again I'm just a little bit less worried about the Falcons off SP planning than I am the Jets I mean we have seen Le Flor use some committees and you know again just a little more confident in bejon completely uh not messing everything up but it's a tossup plenty of smart guys like Bree but you know here today give Ian talking about the odds that the Jets offense might face plant as I pretty much make the decision to go with Garrett Wilson over Jonathan Taylor I'm not quite ready to hit draft yet I do have him top of my queue so in case I panic and just like keep filibustering and talking it will autodraft him for me but listen the Jets thing too like so the Jets I like that they have these two elite weapons I don't like that they don't have anyone else behind them at all and like people are talking up myself including Xavier Gibson and like the overall offensive environment I feel like is worse than we even realized because it can be easily paper papered over by having two superstars so I do think the disaster potential is so high but Garrett Wilson he's just too good of a fit for like that mind meld game that Aaron Rogers played you know last time he played football in 2018 and I just think the target what he did with Zack Wilson just how many targets it's going to be um at 10 uh it is possible to win if you take G Wilson in my opinion and hey hey Pat can you mute your sound the bottom before I un alive myself please oh yeah yeah thank you appreciate that muted Andy um at nine uh AJ Brown that's who I was gonna take if he had fallen why AJ Brown over Jonathan Taylor or Garrett Wilson uh yeah kind of a kind of shocky pick like uh so far everything is basically gone according to form um it was Wild by the way to see Denny take an actual good player in a draft I don't think I've ever seen it um that was crazy yeah slightly into AJ Brown nothing nothing significant obviously if uh you know if you want to find something that uh is questionable about Taylor's situation it's the fact that his quarterback gonna take a lot of like lot of designed runs near the goal line that's a little bit of a worry but we still love him um Garrett Wilson was absolutely heroic with one of the worst quarterback situations that we've seen in the fantasy era over the last couple Seasons so I don't I don't have a problem with him either AJ Brown's just great um almost 3,000 receiving yards over the past couple years coming off 100 Catch season um and I see no reason why I can't do it again Andy but what about AJ Brown saying he's not even the number one receiver on his own team um Do You Believe AJ Brown when he says Devonte Smith is actually the number one receiver or is this like my take to Denny was this is just like ultimate AJ Brown level mind games oh yeah yeah yeah everyone says Devonte is so good I think he is the number one receiver what do you what seriously what do you make of that and it has been like nonstop Devonte Smith hype and Eagles Camp to something uh I probably don't need to tell you and Denny that sometimes wide receivers just say some stuff right like like this isn't I mean we don't want to we don't want to get too deep into into parsing the uh the the odd Camp quotes of odd wide receivers right it doesn't it doesn't mean much of anything to me other than that it's it's flattery for a great player like Devonte Smith is great I'm probably not going to pair both Eagles receivers later in later in this draft but but um but I but I love Devonte Smith and have collected a lot of him one it's honestly it's one of the things that we really like about the Eagles is that we kind of know where the ball is going to go you know it's not we don't have to we don't have to worry about a third receiver a fourth receiver anything like that like the the ball is funneled to two players so not a Johnny Wilson believer huh what were you gonna say Den I I will say that I I at this point am leaning Brown AJ Brown over Garrett Wilson because because I feel like Garrett Wilson's situation is so tenuous um and yeah I mean I guess you could say the same thing if Herz went down then AJ Brown might be in trouble but I I think that the way that AJ Brown's going to be used moved around a little more the Eagles offense is not going to be as stale and predictable as it was at the end of last year or throughout last year really uh so I I do like that about Brown's situation and Devonte Smith who as AJ Brown would tell you is the true number one do not like being up at 15 where the top two guys the auto ranks are jir Gibbs and Derrik Henry I want to take a second receiver because I love taking Devon Anan in the second round he's not gonna fall to me I really do not think as much as I love Devon Anan I can take him over jir Gibbs despite the questions I have about jir Gibbs Denny would you force a receiver pick here like Devonte Adams or Mike Evans or should I just give in running back which we all know in my heart of hearts I want to do anyway don't help you you want to do it for sure is uh who who are the top run re Henry and Gibbs is what we're looking at here folks k i don't pretend I pretend Ken Williams do doesn't exist uh right and as you as you would I mean I yeah I guess I'd probably go Henry I actually don't want I'm gonna take I'm oh man I'm doing it I can't get there in time there we go I'm going way off board I took Drake London I want because first off I want to create yeah I need to create chatter I wouldn't be a very good draft toast if I wasn't like like going way way off the board as much as I love Derrick Henry I've been beating that drum since February I don't know man 15 like let's be real this is modern fantasy football even 0.5 PPR I feel like I have to take a wide receiver jir Gibbs I have psyched myself out on I feel like he needs like an inside straight to repeat last season Denny and I have talked about that in the podcast uh but Drake London kind of a panic pick and uh not loving it and gloriously laughs who did you take Andy after me I I do love that you filibustered for a minute there and then um took a player that you hadn't mentioned uh like you you listed everybody that was currently on my screen and then you took somebody uh this good solid drafting to be honest is you want to think about who you're taking from a maximum of three seconds excellent excellent misdirection there had me uh had had me really thrown no I took I took Henry there um and Henry's been a very you know like I know I know we we'd all love the age um someone we love to overthink as I literally just did live on you just did it yeah yeah I mean Derrick Henry could easily scored easily is probably a little strong but Derrick Henry could score 20 touchdowns this year Derrick Henry could could I think pretty easily lead the NFL in touchdowns this year um he's just in a a fantastic situation um I I don't need to convince people of that so I think is he though what about this offensive line missing three starters we all assume keep on keeping on it doesn't matter Lamar's gravity this and that I'm just saying man I I get it aesthetically Henry lining up up next to Lamar Jackson I'm excited too but it really does seem like if you look at the Ravens that's a pretty massive question mark at the lion scrimmage and the entire Community is just like ah they'll figure it out I will say I they usually do figure it out the Ravens are one of the best teams like papering together Solutions lot that that's like Blind Faith by me but I just think like even an end times Derrik Henry like oh Derrick Henry's obviously done type campaign still results in like 11 touchdowns and so like maybe he's not the League winner some of us were like to believe I have a very hard time believing he could be a Lee loser second round but it's not a very positive mentality for your drafting either so I don't well you Pat listen Pat spent all uh free agency saying Derrick Henry's got to go to Baltimore if he goes it's over for the league and then he you know he has a chance he has a chance to to double down and to be consistent and he goes with Drake London so some would say It's Curious some would say it's curious umon is one of those guys though where like if you look on you know some of the best ball sites or even higher Stakes I mean he is a top 10 top 11 wide receiver there it's more Yahoo in ESPN where he's not so Roto pad I'll give it to you I did not think the London pick was a quote unquote bad what do you think of London versus Crystal la which is what it comes down to a lot Lon so these Split Second decisions like one thing will pop into your mind a lot of time and this is not a bit I was considering chrisal LA versus Drake London the thing that popped in my head was man Derek Carr yeah had a lot of weird chrys energy last year and like he needed to basically be ordered to Target chrys near the end of the season which he then did a lot and they finished strong but I I do not love that Derek Carr chrysal connection so of course I gambled on the Kurt Cousins Drake London connection that I've never seen sure it'll just be amazing I will say I think they're pretty even but goe the um the whole quarterback situation Atlanta I think is pretty solid because if cousins you know gets dinged up if he's not fully back from the Achilles or whatever if he aggravates that injury I think Michael pennx can be very friendly for Fantasy I think that he can distribute he can be that that point guard distributor in a pass heavy offense with three receivers out at all times um I I I think this this Falcons offense is going to be fun either way I'm really really I feel like the Falcons have a bit of a Jets problem too where there's not much depth there and if there's one injury the whole operation just gets like a little off kill and like it could go south a lot quicker than people are expecting but also the weird similarity where they're both coming off corn ailles I mean it could also it could also start slow right because it's one of those situations where like all the most important things are new um and so oftentimes that leads to a a pretty rough September you know we we always talk ourselves into these into these teams we're like wow um new quarterback new new OC that we like it's it's all adults now instead of last year's mess um but I that's takes time um and it can take you know an uncomfortable amount of time for Fantasy purposes too right like that might be three or four weeks before it's really humming in three or four weeks like we this is what I always tell about players who are injured at the beginning of the Season like oh he's only injured three weeks uh AKA 25% of the fantasy regular season yeah like it gets late early out there in fantasy drafts and yep my whole strategy in Ruins I took uh Drake London praying that Devon Anan would fall and he just went that's kind of what I wonder about Jonathan Brooks too Pat it's like well he'll be there when it matters it's like okay so we have a running back that we hope is good coming off in ACL injury on an offense that we all kind of think is going to be terrible like I'm not exactly seeing the whole like League winning path to Jonathan Brooks it's like okay I get it first running back selected and everything but he's you know going next to guys that are also gonna be racking up touches and I don't know aren't coming off a devastating injury and not missing a quarter of the season so call me oldfashioned but I I kind of like Denny rule man you know sometimes the old boring Devon single T isn't the uh isn't the worst worst option you left out that Jonathan Brooks is of course never played NFL football before too that's true mean you know we know that he he he'll be fine eventually I just don't know when um I will say that that I think folks are a little too Savvy on a guy like Brooks like he's going at RB 27 right now um on fantasy pros and it's like what wait I thought we should get more of a discount here I I feel like I would be into him if he was going at RB 40 but Ian's right I think there are guys around him running backs around him who I'd much rather have just in shambles by the way um well I'm not in shambles I've want to take DJ Moore I'm looking for reasons to take DJ Moore in drafts and it's gotten a little easier I I'm not trying to poke fun at the man but ever since I've learned that Keenan Allen is large um it's gotten a little easier to click draft on DJ Moore and like all right listen the compet I is a rookie who's never played he has a top 10 pick and Keenan Allen who was just given up like they trade him the Midwest one time he like ah whatever he put 25 pounds on him he introduced to Polish sausage and it's suddenly game over again I just want to say as a dad I get it it happens you know what are you talking about Andy you you it's impossible for you to look at you you look like you're 25 years old Andy's the kind of guy we go at a conference like I'm struggling to get up and get down like what time does break they stop serving breakfast and like 10 o'clock I'm like struggling to get down there and Andy's like I went for a run yeah Andy Andy runs 11 miles a day he does I never I never talk it up at that conference but like somebody is always outing me Lauren Carpenter or someone is always like in the lobby telling everyone that they saw Andy running in the in the morning it's it's unfair I I'm I'm nobody's been treated as harshly as me I'll tell you that no one in the I no one has ever had a tougher decision to make than me just now between Josh Jacobs Joe Mixon Rashad white and James Cook my heart says Rashad white but my head says I've taken three receivers to start I'm going to no one's heart has ever said Rashad white that's a wild no sorry you will not hear a Wilder thing on this show you will because I meant James Cook actually my heart sorry my heart says James Cook uh just a little too worried about Ray Davis that they have him tip cast as the third DB back James Cook I'm taking Josh Jacob I'm trying to take some meat and potato touches behind my receiver receiver receiver start let the slings and arrows um follow now you should have leaned into it pat you should have you you who' you take you took Jacob uh you should have leaned into the wide receiver thing yeah there were some pretty good receivers look if Jacobs goes from you know being the worst running back in the league arguably in almost any metric to one of the best I mean that hey hey you know sure Ian everything looks bad if you remember it my favorite quote from the and sure Josh jacobs's 2023 is the worst thing you've ever seen if you remember it I don't I don't remember anything from last season um I did remember that later today 4 pm Eastern on the fantasy football happy hour Matthew Barry is going to announce his ride or die pick for the 2024 season it's all part of our fantasy football Marathon today which will culminate later this evening with our annual Mock Draft broadcast some of us may or may not be in that Mock Draft broadcast it's going to be amazing stuff true All-Star crew Yahoo Fantasy Life Rota world and some of our friends it's going to be amazing stuff it's going to be amazing time way more amazing than taking Josh Jacobs in the fourth round so what are we working on here I'm gonna look at some of these teams enough about my team we don't need we just don't really need to talk about my team that much you know I just think uh yeah I'm a giv guy I want to talk about other teams I'm trying to figure out how to pull them up um Denny who do you have though through right at the two3 turn I took uh Devonte Smith and DK metf obviously I've talked on the root of world football show a lot this offseason about how I think most if not all of the Seahawks are being undervalued underd drafted that includes obviously the wide receiver W in metf um and then I talked you know about the Eagles offense under Kell Moore we actually covered that uh on on the most recent Ro of world show um and uh I so you know Devonte Smith and metf I think are a decent come back from having to take being forced to take Christian mcaffrey number one overall although I will say if I had taken Justin Jefferson number one like I wanted to having Jefferson Smith and meaf that would be pretty sweet then I will'll say with DK meaf Devonte Smith um I started receiver receiver receiver my receivers are at least all the number one receiver on their own team um Devonte Smith of course even though we just debated it probably still pretty clearly the number two receiver on the Eagles and I just find a little curious I mean that's the price you pay you know you number one overall all you take a running back you you you're going to be like scraping bottom EV like pretty quickly at receiver you are speaking of I'm assuming you're taking another Receiver right here or you going to try to snag a running back value as you're on the clock at 45 I don't I'm not even going to look at running backs I don't um no that's not good process you should always look at all the positions just just to make sure and absolutely not I'm not going to take any all right that's fair um so yeah uh so yeah I mean you have digs Dells flowers Terry mclen who apparently doesn't have a backup Christian Kirk who's got the Red Q next to his name Deontay Johnson another Red Q I see R you I just automatically don't I actually think that Diggs can can can Badger his way into 1300 yards and like eight touchdowns um can force the issue with his with his secondy year quarterback so I'm taking him uh as my wide receiver three which another guy who's not the clear-cut number one receiver not so bad who is then who is Terry McLaren uh Christian Kirk [Music] flow I don't want to hear no Kirk Kirk's off the board for me completely um uh flowers I would I've never my entire life I've never taken Christian Kirk last last round Christian Kirk still there and Denny's like Christian Kirk part-time player uh tank Dell part-time player uh I'm taking deont Johnson who should see 175 Targets this year all right he does have the Red Q it is pretty minor though our next on camera drafter Mr Ian hardit let's see how Ian's team is shaking up Greg dorch wide receiver one curious not actually on the team he has Patrick Mahomes Devonte Adams ban Robinson Isaiah Pacho this a let's ask you about the early quarterback because you know in these industry drafts it's a game of chicken a lot of times like who can be the latest to take a quarterback like you know I know the greatest player of his generation is on the board there at Patrick Mahomes uh but yeah I'm GNA take Christian Kirk instead uh is this like a point of emphasis for you this year or was this Mahomes the right pick at the right time how are you approaching early quarterback this season that was cool with uh where he was hanging out didn't see any wide receivers I needed to have and you know the fact I only have one wide receiver through three rounds means my team is dead anyway so I was just kind of like you know adding someone like uh Patty Mahomes maybe not too shabby but uh let's see can I did someone just oh Anthony snag Ri Rice that's a great pick over there so there that idea I'll add a Scary Terry to the squad now as you guys said no uh you know no backups in Washington so got to feel good about that but I will say you know as much as uh you know playing best ball in some of these leagues like the wide receivers fly off the board the more I do get into Yahoo and ESPN ADP man you can find some value late so not too uh you know I guess I will give some secrets away to you guys but I mean like Brian Thomas Jr going outside the top 130 picks it's like people just haven't seen the rookies before so some of these first rounders are sh available in the final few rounds so you know certain formats I will be trying to go four or five wide receivers early but just the more of these redraft teams I get man if I don't have a couple running backs as as sinful as it feels man I just don't like the uh you know don't love the prospect of having Chase Brown be my rb2 on every team out there so got beang got Pacho and uh you know we'll see if old man Devonte can help pull this wide receiver room together by the way you took Teran McLaren right after I added him into my queue um that is not allowed my Q is live here on the screen so if I add a player to que to be taken sorry Denny Carter you were saying yeah uh PCO did you Ian you did you end up with peo yes I I really I like that pick um I feel like his role in the KC offense is not fully like baked into his ADP um you know Andy Reid saying that he can do it all uh Jerick McKinnon finally gone from the Chiefs uh C being c i I just I feel like especially the way that running backs are used in the passing game in the red zone and and then you know inside the 10 yard line in Kansas City Pacho could I mean he could have one of those Seasons where he catches eight touchdowns you know and and that that that would be crazy that would launch him into top three top two Stratosphere and uh uh I I don't think that his upside is baked in at all into his 8 at the at the risk of agreeing too much with uh Denny on this on this program I I also wanted to to underscore the the value on on Pacho there like he went in the he went in the second round I I think uh I think he went in the second round here which which feels early relative to where he was going um you know a month ago two months ago in early drafts um and in some of the best ball drafts um but man that's another guy you know I described it with Henry having a path to to Leading the league in touchdowns Isaiah Pacho has a path to Leading the league in touchdowns as well it's obviously a great offense um he he was a huge offseason winner like some sometimes we just don't pay attention to the situations where they didn't they didn't do anything terribly notable uh in the back field other than like retain some guys and let McKinnon go and that's a huge win for that's a huge win for Pacho a player that I thought we all loved um like there's a there's a real chance that we're drafting him in the first round next year wow yeah well to you guys point on Buto Denny was really making this point it's the the path to Greater receptions is not just there by the lack of competition like he has already caught a pretty fair amount of passes like a guy who you think of as like a rugged early down tackle breaker they've been very comfortable targeting him like if Nick chub's the most pure runner in the league p is probably the most like impure rusher so I get it you know runs like he's pissed off at the ground but yeah everything's going his way you know would we be that surprised if the chief's offense you know is top in the league and scoring no so don't love having the quarterback running back on the same team which I just now realized I did so that part of it is an ideal but you know less of a big deal when are just uh one doing a mock and two not in some you know big 100,000 people uh best ball tournament so yeah try and draft you know players from good scoring offens is what a novel idea yeah I mean it's not a huge deal when you it's not a huge deal when you think the offense can average 30 to 35 points a game either right like we just we just want shares of the Chiefs 100% except for Denny says there's no difference between good and bad and Chiefs he thinks that Patrick Mahomes has thrown the final deep ball of his career Sky Moore was good process process I'm itching to make a terrible process pick here and I'm just looking at the receivers Chris Godwin too boring Jaden Reed like I ain't reading all that like there's too many variables there there are a lot I see Christian Watson and I just think the lab they went to the lab they fixed the hammy I want some big plays after behind my Workhorse receivers Garrett Wilson Drake London DJ Moore don't really like any of the running backs on the board right now I guess could make a case for Kamar I think I'm gonna go Christian Watson over his teammate Jaden Reed with the higher 80 Peaks I just want to add some like matchup flipping ability to my I don't know why I'm doing this um I took Christian Watson though as my wide receiver for and Jaden Reed could be the steadier option could have a the much better PPR floor or half PPR floor but yeah I like my Workhorse receivers and I'm adding Christian Watson is kind of like my first matchup flipper like yes he might give me a zero but he also might score two 40 four yard touchdowns and then I've won the week and I love it it's pretty great that we've had a relatively quiet preseason from Christian Watson right I think that's all we really wanted is and you know everybody read the stories about how oh yeah I've got my hamstrings fixed as if that's a a thing that is easily done um but so far like he's not dinged he's he's fine and I I don't think anybody needs convincing that when chrisan Watson is healthy he man he's just a a different sort of athlete he is different from anybody else in that receiving Corp um so I like I think that was a pretty legit pick and I've got him ahead of Reed um which I think actually yeah yeah like you just ask yourself like what does it look like if this guy really hits this year and I just think it's I just think it's better for Watson I mean Matt lefor said the other day that he wants to vomit when he hears someone ask who's the wide receiver one which is very dramatic but it is I mean I think it it illustrates that the Packers have no plan to feature one guy every single week and and you know good luck to us by the way as you know we do this for a living to predict which guy is going to be featured week to week we're going to have to look at you know man coverage versus Zone versus this versus that versus deep but Watson has way more weekly upside than Reed as long as he stays healthy and I think that he will I think that they have figured out this asymmetrical stride that he's had and and that has really ruined his hamstrings hopefully he can stay on the field I just stick a divining rod in the air and that'll tell me who scor the more points that week Andy please be old enough yet to know what that is Andy the right guy yeah you may be wondering where I have Christian Watson ahead of Jaden Reed and that is in my rot World draft guide rankings and the road to World draft guide is here for you during during the peak of draft season and this year it has added features it's available

hard I know listen yeah I just I read what they they give me and it says here like the legal name of the company is Matthew Barry and Ian hard so that's why I read it has has Ian drafted dorch yet has that happened I know yeah listen it's got It's got to happen getting close to false advertising Terri many different government agencies like I feel like now people go out of their way to like take dor too early in draft so I don't get them so it's almost like this next level chess move hyping them up so now I actually get some extra Val I it's funny every summer you know there's a few moments that just go viral on Twitter and For Better or Worse the second it happens you know the ADP is changing and friend of the show Johnny venerable tweeted like the most amazing route anyone has ever run during not a real game and Greg dor the other day in the joint practices and like you saw that and just like ADP is without exaggerating the ADP will go up two rounds after that people people are wondering where if Marvin Harrison Jr has even been practicing with the amount of uh Greg George propaganda we always got coming our way so I love it man he really is fun to watch I mean Kyler said it himself guys if you was 6'3 you'd be a top five uh wide receiver so you know yeah it's more of an a McBride don't get a twisted in that offense but a man can dream even a short man more fantasy points than Michael Wilson this season I guess is that an easy bet to make at this point the other outside white out and the Cardinals that's close let's see who am I picking here yeah who are you picking um you know what I'm gonna pick the fastest guy alive who happens to be a teammate of my quarterback so Xavier worthy come on down I almost took worthy instead of Watson I mean Ian how do you think that Chiefs receiver situation is going to shake out where two major V variables now with the two top dogs you the suspension doesn't seem to be coming for Rashid rice this year to be frank but Maris Brown you know just talk about a guy who I felt like finally needed to just have a normal year like mares Brown had so much go wrong like not a lot of injuries but he's just always in weird offensive setups like guy's kind of underd delivered a lot I'm just like just get him through a normal training camp of course he bangs his shoulder and first play makes the cat n that sucks me I was drafting a lot of mares too so the one interesting note I forget which uh reporter said it but you know kudos to whichever one of them you are but uh it was with the wide receivers basically saying Justin Watson you know kind of taking Maris brown spot in the starting lineup you know I guess Justin Ross catches 10 touchdowns of practice but just can never actually get you know real not first team reps but the other two clearcut storing receivers were Rashid rice and Xavier worthy so as much as I think we all still have you know especially Denny some of that Sky more PTSD here like worthy seems to be locked into the starting lineup right now again in an offense that we're expecting fireworks out of so you know between worthy and rice and even Hollywood once he's back man answer maybe it's just yes I mean two years ago even post Tyreek Juju Smith Shuster in the year 2022 was I believe the wide receiver 32 in PPR points per game M Cole freaking Hardman had top 36 numbers before he got hurt that season so you know I think we'll look back on the 22 and 23 years it's almost like a blip on the radar in terms of these Chiefs wide receivers not giving us a ton of production so arguably like a Miami Dolphins run running back like last year kind of correlation because we knew there was going to be points we just didn't exactly know who was going to score them and accordingly the price of everyone is depressed a bit so you know I know these muddle situations it is annoying to try to figure out but when the price is so low accordingly man I think those are good ones to buy I just want to say real quick I think you're mistaking me for Pat crine as far as the sky Moore as oh right right right yeah that idiot millionaire P I have never yeah right exactly what does he know you know I I I've never drafted him and as soon as I saw he was from you know what western Michigan he went to scho I said come on come on guys you can't we can't be serious here listen if Pat cran is so smart why isn't he working for rot world that's my question tell me that I want to know that Pat Crane's so smart why no one will answer it no no one will Denny and I ask every day and people are like why are you still talking about this move on and he quote still appears to be one of your good friends crying yes yes sometimes we're crying I'm back on the clock Denny round seven I took Jaylen Warren is that a two online pick or is that even a not online online online J yeah I mean look it really does look I do I do that's a good point Pat um if you're you know entering your office League or whatever family league nobody knows who Jaylen Warren is okay just remember that okay but you know they're not they're not a bunch of sickos like us who literally haven't thought of anything else but Jaylen Warren for the past days okay so so Ju Just just remember that I don't think you reach for him here um but I do think that folks should like get a feel for their draft room because a guy like Jaylen Warren could be very undervalued depending on the The Savvy of your league mates Denny I just logged off and took David and joku because the touchdowns are good I I I'm I'm actually mad because I wanted him but all right yeah I mean David and joku a guy just no no buzz no discussion um is that people expecting him to fall off from last year or is David and joku just a settled matter he's one player like when I drafted him like I don't think I've said David and jok's name out loud in like two or three weeks just someone who's not being talked about this summer and is that something that should be rectified or is it perfectly fine just not talk about David and joku like the tight end nine and then just move on anybody have any thoughts on this I think I think he's actually like I feel like he's the last tight end on the board who is very clearly one of the let's say top two receiving options on his team which which is of course like a key to actual fantasy relevance at the position um position's kind of deep uh another thing about en joku is he's somewhat quietly like he's probably a top 10 athlete in the league um he could have he could he's one of those guys who could have been Pro in any number of things he was like the country's best uh high jumper when he came out of high school like he's he's a wild athlete like he was like a seven foot high jumper um and he's coming off a terrific year they paid him um he's coming off a terrific year mostly with Joe flacko like obviously the only thing that you worry about is that is that deshun Watson hasn't been good at football in six years um and it would be great to see it would be great to see that change um but again like he he got it done in pretty lousy circumstances last year pretty pretty inventive uh uh play caller situation there and play design so we we like a lot of things about the the offensive environment I like in joku and I think like he's the last tight end on the board that I actively want right like and I I feel you know I feel like I really have to tell myself a story about everybody after him no Andy I couldn't agree more that is why I took him would you guys agree with the take that this year tight end is a little bit deeper at the top where last year it was five or six deep maybe and then there was a lot of interesting guys though in like the 11 to 20 range this year I feel like it's kind of 10 or 11 deep a lot deeper than last year at the high end but that in the flyer range there's just not very many compelling guys at all and it just feels like a year where I need to come away with someone who ADP wise rankings wise as a top 10 or 11 tight end whereas last year if I missed on like one of those top five or six guys I was kind of using like two of my final picks and tight ends and letting them Battle Royale on my this year I feel it's the opposite like it's a good year to actually use a little draft capital and tight end and not be taking the tight end Flyers but is that a good or bad take anyone want to field this it it also feels like a like a little bit of a transitional year at tight end right because yes yes because you know Kelsey turning 35 obviously he could he could still be the tight end one um but we don't we don't have a lot of a lot of years in the history of the tight end position and you can like you can literally take this back like 60 years there is always one very clear like Alpha tight end in the league right it was Kelsey it was grank it was Gates it was Gonzalez you can take that all the way back to like John Mackey and Mike dka right like you can take it back a long way um and we're we're in transitional period now and there's no way that Kelsey holds on to this for like another three years it might last another season but it's not going to be forever and it does legit like there's I don't I think there's six guys where I can make a a pretty legitimate argument that they might finish as the tight end one and I don't you know I've been doing this forever I don't remember another season when when that was when I could have said that like you might you might have a strong argument for one of three players but literally down to like Dalton KC George KD there's a bunch of guys who could finish as the overall tight end won this year I will say the the Kelsey thing makes me nervous because of age also cu the Chiefs don't really try actively until late in the season into the playoff so that makes me a little bit reticent to take Kelsey um but I have seen him fall in some drafts to you know the fourth round like even the end of the fourth round like I I'll take him there I'm I'm pretty happy with that and I and I will say I've said on the xplatform formerly known as Twitter that that uh you know that the Chiefs are probably not going to hit a of downfield shots because teams defenses have said no way we're we're playing two safeties 50 yards off the line of scrimmage to make sure that doesn't happen what what I will say what I will say is that having Maris Brown when he's healthy having Xavier worthy get downfield and clear out space in the middle could be really big for a guy like Kelsey or or for Pacho if he's out there running a lot of routes then I was hoping you were just going to keep talking while I was on the clock um so didn't no no so I didn't have to talk people through me about to um Devon single ter oh you did it yeah after after literally weeks of belittling me on air about Deon single ter you go ahead and take him quite literally true and uh well we talked to Pat Leonard on The Root World football show yesterday and he was just like yeah you know um I don't know if it's gonna work but none of the other guys are really earning touches right now and and twoo I've stopped trying to fight Devon single ter City Hall the guy gets on the football field and he's like this this is my home like this is where I'm from this is where I live like this might be a game to you but it's a lifestyle to me and then the coaches just cannot take him off the field ever bro teammates love them neighbors starting to fight out of nowhere singar throwing his mouth piecing and running over there so I H took Deon single ter and this thank God it's a mock not taking de single ter in any real drafts was that was that impression was that like a special voice that you have uh for Devon single ter or is that like a generic player voice that's generic it's a generic one um by speaking of mock versus real drafts uh let's talk about draft format for a second because I talked at the beginning we are doing a PPR I didn't really necessarily explain like the difference between point half PPR and full PPR or is there a difference like do you guys have a strong take on this do you adjust your draft approach when it's full point PPR just half or if they're giving you any points for receptions you kind of just start talk targeting the receptions and like like value up catches or is there actually a difference in drafting mindset should there be for half PBR versus full PPR who wants to take this one well I mean there's no difference there is a difference with some players right so you have a guy you know like Alvin Kamar like in in standard I'm absolutely not interested in Alvin Kamar in half PPR maybe somewhat but in PPR I can get a little scammy Kamar going that that's interesting to me right and you know so to 15 checkdowns to Kamar in a given week you know that that it doesn't even matter if he doesn't do anything with the ball that's that's good stuff uh so you know I like that some tight ends are better in PPR you have the the Jake Fergusons the Tyler Conlin's the Zack SS of the world like guys who fall who catch the ball and fall down that works with PPR half PPR that's way less appealing you want you want a a tight end who occasionally has a a chance for a big play which none of those guys did anyone else have anything to add on half PPR versus full PPR I I will say I don't generally change my Approach Denny is right it becomes like a maybe it should just be viewed as a compelling tiebreaker not something that's really changing your mentality or your mindset or even your tears but like the tiebreaker being like yeah like this guy's declining but whatever the PPR machine prints the money either way like I don't care if it's counterfeit bills or not um so yeah that's that's probably the best way to view it is more a tiebreaker than anything else yeah I think you guys are generally right like there's there's probably only I don't know there might be a dozen players it might be like 15 players something like that I don't I don't have a list handy that I where I will significantly change a rank and where I'll see their name in the draft queue and I'll be like oh Kamar was actually the first one that came to mind right we're like I'm not that interested um in most season long leagues but if we're playing full PPR I know I'm going to get some really junky like 12 15 20 point performances out of him where like if you're watching the game he never pops you never think wow he's having a great game and then you look at your box score and it's like oh I'm I'm winning um and I'm winning because Derek Carr checked down to him you know 14 times Deontay Johnson you know he's a player I drafted here I know this is half PPR I'm less bullish on him in this format Deontay Johnson you know is not an incredibly explosive player but he gets open you know the ESPN open Score other metrics say that he he's a guy who um is a good Target for for for quarterbacks that's why they got him for for Bryce young uh so you know I I think that you know he's a PPR scammy type player who I would Target much uh more aggressively in PPR formats by the way Anthony Rymer a good Twitter XF follow helping us draft here chimed in saying it is curious that I've spent weeks saying it's uh totally over for Devon Singletary on our podcast and I did uh select Devon single ter in the ninth round the draft and the answer to that is that every player it is important to remember you should never fully remove someone from your board that's true at some point everyone becomes a value Devon single ter there just looking at what was out on the board I'm like whatever man I don't like Devon Singletary Pat Leonard even expressed skepticism he would survive the season as a starter but again that the young guys are not exactly seasoning the day I'll just Bank those touches maybe at some point I'm cutting Devin single ter week eight or nine you know fantasy it's good obviously to take a long-term view as we all kind of alluded to at the beginning you should take a short-term view things change so quickly in this game it's really really hard to like this guy's gonna help me in October dude Maybe by October you've had five season ending injuries and you can't have a blank spot and so do long-term planning as much as you can but Fant fantasy redraft the window in your head should be like three to four weeks I would say and all I know is in October Devon single excuse me September single's getting the ball single ter was like an rb1 for the entire second half of last season doesn't matter better career numbers than seana doesn't matter got 16 and a half million in free agency doesn't matter I know Ian I'm with you like he's he's not flashy you know so that the Zoomers are not going to like him but I I like single Terry and and uh um everywhere he goes he kind of just gets it done now Pat Leonard when we had him on the show I think he started off our running back discuss with uh he said look last people forget last time single T played for Brian dable he literally never saw the ball and I had to go I frantically went to go look back at his box scores right and uh I said wait he had over a thousand yards uh so you know a total yards I should say uh so you know and Brian dble said he he knows our system inside and out I think these all point to single ter being you know not not inspiring but a good enough player to plug into your lineup well what sorry per typical Dead Zone running back but he goes in round 10 instead of round three yes that's all and I think what Pat Leonard was alluding to is a lot of coaching staffs are in denial about like how much they're going to need Devon single ter like they don't want to get Deon single ter on the field they wanted it to be Zach Moss or they wanted it to be Damen Pierce but then when those guys failed Devin sleary gets on the field and then he's just so good at the little things and I think the Giants are the first coaching staff in a while that just acknowledge like it's a transition year for us at running back will pay Devin Singletary no he's not going to be like above average player but he can kind of be like maybe like a Jamal Williams that he's going to be really good at the little things he's not goingon to hurt us maybe even he's not actively helping us right and yeah there's not usually you don't usually go in the season planning 20 to feature Deon single ter the Giants kind of ended up in that position the Giants kind of famously misjudged the running back free agent Market by their own adition yes it's like they're kind of stuck with Deon Singletary and then yeah Deon singer's never plan a but he was the is Plan B and they're probably gonna stick with that plan um I don't know why we we we talk about Deon single for 10 more minutes I I just love that your previous like month of analysis on on the platform has all been misdirection um so that so that you could score like a modest value on Deon single we had to drive his ADP down had to drive it well in a shocking ADP development I mean Odo Beckham Jr has been the number one wide receiver available for like four rounds people just we're in a sharp room guys Andy why you know why don't you to reach out to someone I heard you work at Yahoo I I do want to say that uh man if if this were you know I have to go like Integrity of the mock and I have to take a player that I actually like here but in a in a normal like Hometown draft this is where I definitely take Greg dorch because somebody else named their damn team after Greg dorch like I love blowing up stuff like that but I'm not going to I'm not going to do it here don't worry I'll leave them for you it's fine it's just a mock whatever um Andy sounds very very sad he prepares to queue up the worst pick he's ever made let's see oh yep he did yep pretty close I uh I did want to say that our discussion with um the Lions beat writer on the road to World football show Mr Ben Raven of.com really good uh yeah yeah really good beat writer uh our discussion about Jameson Williams and the hype being incredibly real according to Ben um made me more bullish on it made me you know more willing to to to take him in in in various formats including this one I took him as my wide receiver five I think it is uh and the reason why is because obviously Jameson Williams is gonna be involved in in the downfield stuff okay he's probably the line's only real downfield pass catcher that's cool that that we know that but you know Ben said he wouldn't be surprised to see intermediate work for Jameson Williams how much of that I don't know but any any of that for a guy that explod exposive who can catch and run like that um that's cool I mean that makes me that makes me excited about him and makes me think that he's not just a boom bust fantasy option for weekly purposes and there are no good players left no no they're all gone I kind of want to congratulate the fantasy Community for actually like I feel like we've been remarkably restrained on on Jameson Williams um and maybe those are maybe that's the lesson of the Gabe Davis Wars from a few years ago right where like the the last game that we saw from this player was so good that we forgot literally everything else that they that had had previously happened in their career and I I just I honestly I thought we'd come into this season and and Jameson would be like a like a wide receiver three maybe even go higher for some people I thought Dalton Del Dawn would have crazy hot takes on Jameson and it just it just hasn't happened yet and and that seems like a sign that we're learning he is one of those guys so where you can talk through why it hasn't happened first year is a wash coming off the ACO then he has the gambling suspense and during that suspension he messes up his hamstring in August the guy has not played a professional football game in September yet in his career so I don't know he's gonna have a chance to start off I don't love that I have to say now that Josh now that Josh Reynolds is out of town like whenever you have to say that that's not a great you know following statement that's gonna come there so I acknowledge that but this isn't some you know random guy he was picked freaking 11th or whatever it was for a reason former five-star balls out of so yeah I'm gonna take a Tai Chandler now so that's uh how much I know Jameson Williams he's on the third year Nico Collins breakout plan that's all say and I will say it's at least been it's been what you would term a drum beat where every report has been the same like Jameson Williams the first two years for all the reasons Ian laid out it total wash for some reason it's the opportunity of a lifetime some people just aren't ready as rookies and yet Jameson Williams was ready because of an injury so that wasn't his fault the gambling thing you know humongous lapse in judgment but it seems like the narrative from both the media and the coaching staff at all liance Camp is just that he gets it now the light has come on he's practicing at a different speed he's playing at a different speed they desperately need him so the need is there too because behind Jameson Williams it gets pretty Grim pretty fast unless you're a big CLE Raymond believer like Denny Carter was about you took him Andy you said you weren't going to thought cool man well but then you Ed pushing back against I said and I'm like oh man I'm definitely taking dor I almost took dor I didn't want to be that guy but someone needed to do it I had this whole plan in my mind he was gonna fall to the last round just because everyone was gonna be nice to me Ian dude I was gonna take him in my next pick just I mean I'm I'm actually mad at myself that I didn't already take him was it the most calamitous pick of the draft that I took darn El Mooney over Greg dorch let me look up that word first and get back to you darn Al Mooney I'm doing the classic he's just a DOT connection pick the dot connecting being I look at the Falcons receiver core I look at their skill core I'm like right there's three good guys and then there's no one else and they gave daram Mooney a surprising amount of money um he's never played with a real quarterback really I mean you could DJ Moore had a big year with Justin Fields but Justin Fields seemed like the classic wasn't gonna support more than one wide receiver Kirt cousins has made a way of life of supporting three to four pass catchers like if Kurt Cousins can kind of make KJ Osborne a thing just like how could he not make Darnell Mooney a thing and Darnell money the ADP just never developed he's 12th 13th round basically every draft and I don't know why I'm why I don't know why I'm you're coping you're coping I am coping yes yes it's better than crying yeah you're gonna be crying soon yeah but but it's fair like there's not an there's not a lot of number two receivers still on the board um certainly are clear tied to interesting offenses especially with zavier Le get now now gone you know if he's still alive I know he's I know he's been injured so no he supposedly minor zavier everything been going so well for Xavier to get to that leg injury too it's just a real shame right the guy came out after his first practice and said wow I'm not ready this was a bit discouraging that was that that quot I mean he seems like a very upfront and honest and nice guy but wow that quote was bad yeah well there's no place for that in the end NFL hey if I just said though first round wide receiver one of the most athletic guys ever and he's available in the second to last round of a 14 team draft I don't know I've thrown wor starts anytime it can take you half a decade to break out in the SEC you have to do it that's what I can say about ex you're get but I can also say we're down to the final two rounds this is only a 14 round mock we're not doing kickers we're not doing defenses I kind of wish I hadn't already taken a quarterback I think late round quarterback is back because it's the 13th round and Jared gof two Caleb Williams Trevor Lawrence Kurt Cousins Matthew Stafford Justin Herbert Gino Smith Aaron Rogers deshun Watson are all still there like if you just miss on those top three or four quarterbacks this year you don't really have an excuse to you don't need to ever reach for quarterback you need to reach though at other positions like what I'm GNA do right now um trying to find a single good player left I was uh my my lovely wife is joining her first fantasy football draft for her company soon and I was just trying to make things as easy as possible because somehow despite living with me for five years she's you know still kind of unclear what a quarterback is and things like that and so I was like you know what let's try to fill out that starting lineup by the end of round 10 and you are drafting one quarterback and one tight end no matter what because if you draft one inside the top 100 picks they're gonna be okay take a bunch of running backs and wide receivers and we'll go from there because I feel like the easiest way to mess it up is to go too heavy at tight end or quarterback not that it's going to be a great draft but to your point Pat like they're everywhere um I just took a second TI end is it over for me by the way Tyler I will say we used to you know we used to get in like industry drafts and and Pat you said it earlier it was like everybody was just kind of staring at each other nobody wanted to be the first person to take a quarterback and it would be really common for like nobody's got a quarterback and it's round nine it's round 10 and then like and and then we have a mock that doesn't resemble any Hometown draft right like that never happens um there's no way you're getting out of like round three without a quarterback taken the one and I'm I'm glad that you sort of carved out the exception for the top three or four quarterbacks because we've seen like all of the all-time seasons in terms of fantasy scoring a quarterback basically since 2019 2018 beginning with the the big mahom season um and so I I do feel like the rules have changed a little bit right like almost every year there's a there's a sort of lottery ticket season at at QB and sometimes more than one um man some sicko of brillan Allen I'm so upset about that is generic Prince still the Chiefs number two or is CH just getting away with it again what's the latest update there I think it's c age people are hyped about fullback Carson steel now that's the new thing really good time to timeout into generic Prince that's good someone took Jordan Mason really long ago like I I I read the Kyle Shanahan quote it sounded to me like Jordan Mason is getting the opportunity to kind of compete for the number two job I heard Shan Shanny I I can't believe Shanny pretended he still liked Elijah Mitchell as long as he I've never seen a less of a Shanny player and I he was just so brave putting on a brave face about I swear to God we still wow I never heard a coach say that before and uh no yeah he doesn't it's Jordan Mason it's gonna be Jordan Mason oh my gosh shanan actually held up the death chart and like crossed out Mitchell's name you know it's was like the circle of trust thing where he just finally removed Mitchell from it you know Ian I I hear that you you're bullish on Antonio Gibson yet boom Oh you just took him that's good TV right there that's good I was all set man I was ready for that one oh hey man he'll be on the cover of uh roto world waferwire articles God forbid uh raand Dre Stevens said maybe wins the lottery decides to take the season off you know man well hopefully this let's producer Adam let's edit that out D it's pretty funny Dan he has the last he had the first pick so he also has the last pick pretending he's not gonna just make the worst pick any of us have ever seen oh oh I'm I'm making it the worst pick Let's is it Noah Fant um is it Quinton Johnston I'm just looking what might be let's close it with an Iowa tight end oh he's taking Ben s it oh my God no you no you you actually can't even guess I can't lay it on us uh who was it will Shipley Eagles rv3 okay no yeah exact like that was the class and we genuinely weren't ready for when you can get you got to get them when you can get a guy that will never play an NFL seon wait a second no no no no Shipley has some juice I I've seen enough preseason with Shipley he has a little juice yeah yeah I'm sure he does got that's we've always said that preseason you know throw the usage out throw the guys resing out it's about who makes plays in wait do you you don't you don't go by Vibes yeah come on Ian you're the ultimate Vibes guy there is on Twitter the pl or X the platform formerly known as Twitter you should be The Vibes pick what are The Vibes Vibes we're done drafting let's see here who Yahoo says has the good teams I'm an eth um Dave kugie how do you say Dave's name I forget how to you nailed it kugie projected Ian hardit projected for four I bet Dave is also nice enough that he would never correct you no matter what you said I would immediately Denny Carter seventh that's actually you don't ever want to see a Denny team projected out of the bottom three that means he didn't follow his process that's right yeah that's right I'm eighth Andy's 10th I I will just point out that like you can you can see that uh the teams that are always at the top of the standings in the Yahoo projection they just they just take the simple projection for every player on the roster and add it up so anybody who drafts two quarterbacks is going to be at the top there you go there there's the math behind the so sounds like I'm actually number one yes we happy or sad Ian hardit do you like your squad uh kind of you know you guys should definitely trust me for Fantasy advice after that reaction I know I know but no no it's good uh I will say you know whenever you are in a three wide receiver League like this you only have one through four I mean certainly playing with fire a little bit so a bit sharper draft room with going down and getting some of the wide receivers versus ADP I thought I'd have a little easier time getting guys like rasheid rice at better spots so didn't fall quite the way I wanted to there but still think we're alive you know as the uh projected grades which again if they say my team's good they're great if not they're just grades that you should dismiss immediately so uh but no I'm feeling pretty good I think um you know got the onesies Elite with Mahomes and Kyle pittz pack and say oh look at Tua yeah but when you got Tua you know you're bringing a knife to a freaking rocket launcher fight when I got my homes uh back there so no I'm feeling good about the squad Andrew Barons who wrote All the algorithm through Yahoo and by your team um I actually I feel pretty good given that it was the ninth spot right the problem with the ninth spot is you're not getting like a tier one wide receiver you're not getting a tier one running back so like you gota you got to find a way to have a team strength um I I was I think I was the first person to take a quarterback I took Josh Allen paired him with dton concade um that is that is a weirdly attainable combo this year and I feel like cancade is one of those guys who who could very well even though he didn't go to Iowa could very well have a season where you know maybe he's the next guy that we talk about is like that tight end who sort of rules the position for a few years because um pretty good chance he leads the bills in receptions in Targets this year kind of an easy button in the offense it's a great quarterback so I like that I like that combo I feel like that gives me a chance to actually like win a position or two each week which again you got to do if you're going to make the playoffs I like the Easy Button metaphor good job by you Andy Denny Denny Carter we gave you the first word and you horribly botched it with Christian mcaffrey um and we will give you the final word how you feel about your team you did get the best player in fantasy how you feeling yeah you know not not too bad actually uh so just despite having to take CMC um I I then I think I went five straight receivers so did uh I went I went in no particular order Diggs metf Devonte Smith Deontay Johnson and Jameson Williams I think that you know and by the way there are two Flex spots here in this in this league so I can start all those guys I feel pretty good about that I then got my guy and you know please uh have mercy on me sea Payton but I got jonte Williams and uh you know be traded to Cowboys it's fine thinking that he's gonna be and that that might not be bad be very very good and thinking he's going to be the lead back um and I I desperately want some of that that PPR goodness that Shawn Payton's offens has provide out of the back field um even though this is half PPR um and uh and then you know and then Dak at quarterback and then at tight end I have Dallas G who I think is probably being a little underrating uh I think you know him along with Smith and AJ Brown are probably uh not don't they don't quite have the new offense kind of baked into their adps that's my thought at least well thank you so much to all of our drafters thank you to Danny Carter thank you
