Heat alert! We heat check our hottest fantasy hot takes | Yahoo Fantasy Forecast

Intro [Music] hello it is Friday August 23rd I am Andy Barons welcome to the Yahoo fantasy forecast presented by Toyota official Automotive partner of the NFL hell of a day to talk ball as our good friend Matt Haron would say joining me to talk a little ball it's Dalton deldon Dalton they have not allowed the two of us together alone on a pod in in quite a while so I'm pretty excited for this how are you Andy it's been too long since I've had the pleasure of talking ball with you how's it going you've been traveling the world watching the Olympics I've been jealous uh nice of you to return and and and talk to the little people like myself um first of all like man the I I won't I won't lie the Olympics were awesome that's an experience that I hope everybody gets a chance to have that was really cool it's a great way to see a city great way to experience I don't know like the French fans they were awesome that whole experience was awesome don't reget credit um cost a fortune but what a what a time um what and what a time uh to be here with you during convictions week um there's no there's really no place I'd rather be and there's no pod that I would prefer to be on uh aside from this one I can't wait to get into it um but before we jump into what I think is actually going to be the finest like what a perfect Capstone to convictions week but before we get into that um we actually have like for a random Thursday uh in uh uh August we have some news we like we have Fantasy impact of the Jahan Dotson trade some pretty interesting news we got a trade um here here are the details on this trade it like a trade within a division this is kind of wild to me so the commanders deal Jan doson to division rival Philadelphia um and it's not just doson it's doson and a fifth round pick for a third round pick in two sevens um so not really a huge pick swap honestly third for a fifth basically um they give up doson who I'll remind people was a former first round pick um that's wild so we have you know and like I've been an apologist for doson like I I like him um his rookie year really happened like he he had some he had some real flashes uh in his first season I realized that last year was a disappointment but now we're looking at a player who you know they've Washington's had him in the building for a couple years and they just decided to to kick him to the curb basically and not just kick him to the curb but kick him to the curb within their own division giving him to a team that is you know the the I don't know if they're the odds on favorite in the division they're certainly one of them um they're just in the Super Bowl a couple years ago so this is a big this is a big giveaway for them um talk to me about this deal on either side you can take it whichever way you want to go I I will just say that for for managers who've already drafted you got Jan doson on a roster I think he's a drop um I I think whatever you were hoping that you might get from him in a in a you know imagined scenario where he's the number two receiver in Washington that's out the window there's no way he's challenging AJ Brown uh Devonte Smith Dallas SCD like there's there's plenty of mouths to feed in Philadelphia I don't think Johan Dotson is going to be a particularly fantasy relevant player but feel free to disagree with that if you like first of all I think it's a just a silly notion that you're not supposed to trade within your own division I'd argue the opposite is true you want to match your trade partner with a team that has opposite timelines as you so it's even better that the Eagles are trading for you know costing their future so when the commanders are ready to contend uh the team within their division will have less draft Capital so I think it actually makes more sense in some cases uh this trade does not move the needle for me in fantasy I already had doson as like my wide receiver 72 I know Harmon had kept the the light on for him and there was a lot of uh he was getting a lot of looks in the slot in the preseason but he also wasn't playing in two wide receiver sets badly outplayed by Curtis Samuel last year certainly going to have to fight for targets now in Philadelphia it's a condensed offense I mean GD was already you know looking for a bigger role and they added Barkley in the offseason so yeah Dodson to Me loses fantasy value despite improving his offensive systems Washington I mean McClaren maybe going to get the full RPO treatment Now bump him up a little maccaffrey eventually may come into to play here Zack Herz is just the ugliest fantasy sleeper right now I know we all like inet but s under kingsberry it was a top 10 fantasy tight end last we saw him he's going to be the starter week one he's going to be a cheap DFS play I know no one wants to hear that and and eventually cette will be the man but SS will will get the looks early on that's such a good call by the way it's one of those situations where everybody's looking to the rookie and it's going to be the boring old vet who you know has given us the same season year after year who is who is definitely the early season guy to Target and finally Washington I just hope Andy this is not a precursor to them moving after IU I mean there are room worries of this like uh oh is this clearing the deck for an iuk move because there's still no movement there in ners so that is my only concern here personally is hopefully this doesn't mean lead to an iuk trade oh you beat me to it I was going to hammer you over the head with the possibility of an iuk trade and this was just draft Capital being acquired uh toward that goal so yeah it's h as we speak that is that is still a possibility but um and I like you're so right to point out that um trading like within a conference like regardless of sport this is this is true in baseball this is true in in the NBA this is true everywhere like the idea that you can't trade with a division rival with a longtime rival something like that like if you see I mean you have to maximize the pool of players that are that are available to you in any in any trade negotiation you have to maximize the return and sometimes that's going to involve perhaps making a rival a little bit better in the short term to help your own long-term goals so that's a great Point by you yeah I it's F it's funny that you already had Dotson in the place that basically I just lowered him to like I just I just dropped him to like wide receiver 76 something like that you were you were already there so um I can't I can't even imagine what you're doing with dson now but he's he's basically unplayable now in Philly right yeah he's goingon to be undraftable especially yeah yes yeah um maybe he returns to how how he showed as a rookie but to me there's just too many hurdles for him to clear now yeah uh fully agree I think we're on the same page here so that brings us to oh man I've been um I've been looking forward to this for a Convictions Week: Andy heat checks Dalton's 7 hottest takes couple days since I since I realized that I would get to be on this podcast with you we are going to conclude convictions I mean conclude is the wrong is the wrong verb here we all of convictions week has built toward this moment um this is what the people want this is sure as hell what I want um we are going to get some scorching thermonuclear like radioactive hot takes from Dalton Del Dawn Nobody Does it quite like him um nobody like you're you're one of those rankers where like if you're all in on a player we can see it in the ranks there's no hedging um and when you're all in on a player you are you know you don't waffle like you're you're you you you bang the table um and you bang it loudly and um it shows up in your ranks it shows up in uh in like all of your work like I really admire it it's great I can't wait to do this um if there's anything basically that is that is hotter uh than the month of August it is uh it is the takes from Dalton Del Dawn so really looking forward to this you have been asked and and I listen one thing that I told the producers was I there's no way that I would attempt to go hot take for hot take with you that's just that's just asking for trouble I can't do it I don't I don't feel as deeply about anything in my life as you do um your uh your hottest takes in the NFL so that's where we are I'm just going to sit back and react as you give us like the wild the most wild ass things that um pop into your head about fantasy football in 2024 um are you ready for this I'm ready Andy I like to undersell overd deliver but you're breaking the no hype rule here man you're uh setting me up here for I better uh better come with it so are you ready Andy um actually I'm gonna I'm gonna get ready um I brought some protective gear slipping the glasses on oh man I got okay I got I got the I got the PO holders here I'm ready um give me give it to me bring it on what's what's your first hot take do Dalton Delon all right well I've moved Bree Hall to my number one overall player and this is a good one to start with because I want to make it clear here that I I am not uh making these takes just to be a hot taker or or to rank to look at me I had a a number one pick in a high stakes draft over the weekend and um I know I really thought about it I'm a Niners fan you know maccaffrey is is am I going to pass on him but really looking into it and I we're drafting for 2024 not last year's stats I went with Bree Hall in my number one pick so therefore I went and I made my my ranking changes after I did this so it's not even like oh look at me my ranking I realized if I'm going to do this personally I better reflect that to my readers so I did the change there and Bree Hall from weeks after week so from weeks 5 through 18 that's not an arbitrary end date because he had his snap count limited weeks 1 through 4 returning from ACL surgery here are the points I'll just use PPR mcaffrey from weeks 5 through 16 18 average 22.6 Bree Hall averaged 20.0 number two right behind him uh Hall had the worst quarterback ever the Jets finished with the fewest yards per play in the NFL last year they had one carry inside the five all year long to running backs Bree Hall had 3.3 expected rushing touchdowns meanwhile everything went right for my guy CMC who's coming off a 420 touch season running backs historically have seen a 25% dip in Baseline production during their eighth year in the league that's my guy mcaffry who's entering with the calf injury meanwhile third year running back see 121% increase in that production this is when you want them you want running backs in year two and three in the league the Jets improved their offensive line yes I worry about Aaron rogers's leg obviously it's Achilles but you know four-time MVP winner replacing the worst QB sit situation Hall leads the NFL in in in yards per carry after contact and yards per route run since entering the league he had the most average the most fantasy points when his team was leading last year and the Jets are now favored in 14 of 17 games I'd argue that brayan Allen's emergence can be seen as a positive you get his insurance pick in round 1112 his backup running back so Bree Hall I've moved to my number one player and I hope mcaffrey has an awesome year don't get me wrong and your guy bejan Robinson I know you like him more than Hall we've had an argument here beat reporters are saying that's going to be like a 50-50 split they're saying aler is going to get 14 carries to Bean 16 I obviously don't worry about that and I think bejan's a top three player on my board but Bree Hall is a top it yeah okay so there's a lot here that I want to get into I'll start with the I'll just start with a bit on beon I I want people to understand in case they're like in case they get their news from I don't know sloppy aggregators or something like that like that whole report on Tyler aler perhaps um splitting touches evenly with bejan Robinson is just like one guy being asked to speculate on what they think it's going to be it wasn't like I think I think even that reporter would say it wasn't reporting that's not like from the coaching staff or anything like that and there's plenty of good buzz on bejon he you know if the Jets quarterback situation was the worst in the NFL then the Atlanta quarterback situation was like the second worst in the NFL it was terrible right right they're both like escaping situations that were awful and we think they're going to be in better situations but I'll I'll focus on Hall here cuz I I will say say I actually I took the glasses off because I don't I don't think this is your most scorching hot take right like I think I think Hall is in this conversation and I think it's a reasonable conversation with both CMC and beon um I'll I'll just tell you like the one area where personally I don't I think there's almost no chance Hall um recovers like Hall actually performs at the level that he did last year and I I agree with you like they're going to get more goal line opportunities even if Aaron Rogers loves to throw like one and two yard touchdown pass um there's still going to be plenty of goal line opportunities because they just barely visited the goal line last year um my my concern maybe it's not even a huge concern it's just something that I think is going to get made up for uh in in touchdown potential but I I really think like the remarkable receiving totals that were're we were seeing from Hall in the in the closing weeks of the Season that felt to me like a that was that was purely a product of of Trevor Simeon and Bole and you know they they really only had Garrett Wilson as a as a playmaker in that offense and I I think that had a lot to do with who was quarterbacking the team and less to do with what they want that offense to be moving forward like I don't think Aaron Rogers is trying to feed the ball to Bree Hall through the air 12 times a game um not that you're saying that I don't mean to put words in your mouth but I do think I do think he probably gives up some um reception potential and of course again he trades it for um like real goal line opportunities Rogers is also really slow incred slow as far as play volume but hopefully that counters with a big increase in in efficiency there I agree with you I don't think Hall's going to lead all running backs in receptions again this year but boy he led all running backs in air yards as a rookie even before like counting being injured he had I believe he had first or second most air yards as a running back as a rookie and Rogers will do that he'll throw to his backs downfield so I just think some some of that uh volume will be replaced by extra you know efficiency and man just just getting some goal line Looks easy touchdowns I mean this is going to be massive for him and again mcaffrey 400 plus touches and and and E year in the league already injured it's just important to not real to to remember we're not drafting off last year's stats and to try to look ahead you know who's going to be the number one player next year and and we'll get to that with my with the quarterback one coming up here next yeah the Jets are an absolutely loaded team so I I like this one I admire this one this is not I one second Andy Mike Clay does the pro of every single roster he goes like all the you know every every single offensive linan every single defensive line everything he has the Jets as the number one roster entering this year right ahead of the Niners and Chiefs I mean if they're really the best team in the league now and he's the best running back I mean I don't know man this setup could be pretty sick I hear you though this isn't overly scorching yeah no that's not unreasonable though like that's a loaded defense it's a loaded offense when everyone's healthy that's a that's an incredible roster certainly a a Super Bowl Contender um I don't think that is like the most outrageous take I've ever heard from Ault and Delon and I I assume what you're doing is building from one of your one of your milder hot takes to um some of your more Extreme Hot takes so give me number two well let's get it over with I wrote an article Anthony Richardson is going to finish is the number one fantasy QB this year uh he matched CJ Stroud in weekly top five finishes last year while finishing two games he played 10 10 quarters um yes there's a sample size issue here but man if you did extrapolated he would have led all quarterbacks last year in rush yards Rush TDS he would have scored 26 attempts at designed runs and all that good stuff fantasy points per dropback was Lamar Jackson uh historic levels uh Shane styken created the tush push uh here Andy I mean I expect them the touchdown upside here is was really through the roof um sens a certified quarterback guu who just really helps his quarterbacks produce numbers Colts are going to be playing indoors at a high pace uh Indie averaged the fifth most plays per game last year during Richardson games this is the right division what if ad Mitchell is a star I mean he lasts to the bottom of the second round for off field reasons what if he is an immediate star Josh DS quietly really really good and Michael Pitman there um I worry some about these the preseason it sounds like they need almost like in a way it's good they're going to be forced to play fast like he struggles as a passer I get it he's raw man I mean I think Jaden Daniels threw more passes last year than Richardson attempted throughout his collegiate career so I get it they're we're making a leap of faith here but you look at the underlying things like pressure to sack ratio Richardson way better than Daniels uh his ypa last year limited sample but pretty good so I just think with question marks with with Josh Allen who's he G to be throwing to there and and Herz Herz and Allen I admit I'm the underdog there I mean after Brady took over his OC Allen ran like crazy they have a small sample I get it on Underdog there but all these other guys you know Lamar Jackson quarterbacks who don't run like Mahomes and stad I would happily bet anyone you know on a perame basis uh Richardson's gonna outscore them in fantasy this year Well No One's Gonna No One's Gonna bet against Anthony Richardson on a per game basis he's the per game so it's just 100% down to a bet on health and that's what we're talking here right so that's you just said it No One's Gonna bet against that so all I'm just okay all right well I have I've I have two I have two points here and I'm not I'm not going to push back too strong because I've got him you know I'm I might be the low man on Anthony Richardson uh if not in the industry maybe at Yahoo I've got him like qb6 like I obviously I think there's um incredible potential and I think he's within that I think he's definitely within that group of quarterbacks who has qb1 overall within his range of outcomes I don't think that's crazy I'm in a very slow moving draft right now uh a superlex league in which Lawrence Jackson rot a world uh took him number one overall like so you're you're not you're not even on Anthony Richardson Island here if you are there are other people with you um like this isn't again not your craziest take we've seen we've seen stuff like this happen before here here are my two questions for you number one this is more of a Cults issue um if you if you legitimately see Anthony Richardson as somebody who again assuming 16 17 games um can actually score you know like like Jaylen Herz last year 14 15 16 touchdowns if you see him that way what has that done to your Jonathan Taylor Rank and then number two there was there was a quarterback that I don't think you mentioned in all of your talking about Jaden Daniels and all the other rushing quarterbacks like why why isn't Kyler Murray this guy like where where are you at on Kyler Murray because Kyler Murray has um similar rushing upside probably not going to get as many designed runs on the goal line necessarily but we've already seen him finish as the qb3 he's got a better receiving core than he's ever had like where are you at on Murray if you're this high on Richardson so I'm I'm still okay with Taylor Taylor's my rb4 and I acknowledge he could be the guy stealing touchdowns from from Richardson but that's a top five if not top three offensive line so both can be good I think Taylor being a good football player is going to help that offense it's going to help them score points it's a good thing for Richardson and a good thing for Taylor he'll open up running Lanes even if he even if Richardson's stealing the short touchdowns Jonathan Taylor's capable of scoring from far away and Kyler Murray's my qb5 Andy I'm going to talk about him later I have him ranked ahead of Patrick Mahomes you just want these running guys and and that's my strategy this year is targeting uh Richardson because you don't have to take him as a qb1 he goes in five and round six in most drafts and if I miss out on him I'm going after Kyler Murray and if I miss out on him I'm going after Jaden Daniels and if I really miss out on him then I'll go after a guy Caleb Caleb Williams or my guy Brock pie uh obviously not the same running upside there but quarterback's never been deeper and ironically Anthony Richardson becomes a a shakier pick in in in superflex because the replacement value becomes so much different and our biggest concern with him is injuries so it's weirdly like he's like a better pick actually in in single QB leagues but with you on Murray man he's my qb5 ahead of momes yes these running quarterbacks are the cheat code I know it's boring to talk about but it's just simply math it's just math it's just easier to score the points when you run this this is a really good point about Richardson actually being a little bit riskier in in superflex because and I I feel like I've talked about this a few times within the last week UM quarterback is the position to take big swings you know if you're um if you're wrong about Anthony Richardson the like there's such a safety net um like almost everybody is playing in a one quarterback league and in that sort of situation just think about the guys that were available to you last year um you didn't have to draft CJ strad you didn't have to draft Jordan love like they became available and that was fine like that was your plan B if if if you took Richardson last year and you and you whiffed on him didn't didn't really matter um there were Alternatives and and that is going to be the case if you play in a one quarterback League okay give me hot take number three okay I'm all in on Devon aan obviously we're we're dealing with an injury put the glasses on for this one this I bet this is going to get spicy we're dealing with an injury theme here but I want to it to be noted that every running back in the NFL is projected to play around like 13.6 games this season I mean everyone gets injured everyone is is an injury risk we need to to understand that so I love Anan I have him ranked ahead of saquin Barkley and Kiren Williams he goes definitely after them in Yahoo leagues um all we need is a 45% snap share here I he's the best fantasy scorer of all time through his first 130 touches his healthy full season Pace last year was more than 1,500 yards from scrimmage and 17 touchdowns while sharing the back field with a running back who led the NFL in rushing touchdowns and that Rim moer is 32 years old hn averaged 115 yards from scrimmage when playing 40% of the snaps and here's where it gets really interesting he had the same number of First read targets as Rashad white over just nine games as a rookie the there's really legit receiving upside here he's been lining up out wide a little in preseason don't want to get too concerned with that I just think as a receiver there's big upside here he's bulked up uh Miami scored more than 50 fantasy points from their back field than any team has in years last season uh Kiren Williams is 5 foot n 194 pound fifth rounder who's missed more than 35% of the game since he's been getting drafted and they added Blake corm um saquon Barkley has really concerning decline in his in his statistics you look I mean look the avoided tackle rate the broken tackle percentage the EPA per Target he's been second to last the last two years yes he's been in a bad environment but and now he has a quarterback who's going to take all the rushing scores so give me aan even if he misses three or four games there's no player in the league more likely to help you win your week when he is available yeah so a couple things on hn and I find very difficult he's one of those cases where it's just it's just really difficult to express what you think of as the full range of outcomes for players like this when when you're asked to just you know slot them in somewhere in you're running back ranks right like um 100% there's no question that you know his 99th percentile outcome is rb1 um he stays healthy he plays like let's give him 16 games and let's just say he's seeing you know 16 to 18 touches per week um I don't I don't think he's going to average close to eight yards per carry or whatever it was last year was something absolutely ridiculous nobody's going to do that over a full season he's not going to catch anybody sleeping this year like he's it's not going to be like that um but at greater volume you know it could be an extraordinary season it could be like a close to the you know League leader in scrimmage yards huge touchdown total I get all that um it's not just mostard though it's it's Jaylen Wright who's a who's a really good player and a and a proven player and like everybody else on the Dolphins um like a 4-3 guy right incredible speed um so I there's some sort of rotation here we don't know exactly what it's going to look like I I agree with you that if aan actually comes in around 45% that's that's going to be a win for Fantasy that's going to be a huge win for Fantasy um so just I guess talk a little bit about um also by the way there's no world in which I wouldn't take hn ahead of Rashad white I don't even think those are comparable players they're they're barely even like you know as athletes they're just it's just not even close um oh I was just pointing that out cuz White got all his got all his fantasy stats from as a receiver yes and we're talking first read targets first read targets as a rookie had more in nine games than white had all season and that's where he got all his stats that reveals some upside as a receiver right there for for h all McDaniel's been talking about is is that he's going to grow this off his role is going to grow this year so I don't know I understand he can't take 20 touches a game we're look 250 touches might be a stretch here but I think Jaylen Wright is a plus a guy who can get his insurance now we know some we can get in round 11 I love moard is a Niner guy you know and I understand that his career mileage is lower than most because of his unique career but this guy never had 200 carries until recently and he's 32 which is just ancient for a receiver I mean sorry for running back so um I just I I see the path here for Anan in such an awesome offense so this this for you is a simple case of what what does it look like if everything goes right correct like and that's that's a that's a hard thing to say when you're talking about like a second round pick third round pick um not necessarily because I'm saying I'm I think he's worth drafting in the middle of the second round I would personally take him in PPR League uh even if baking in three or four Miss games jir Gibbs is going at the back end of the first before the injury and do you realize that uh hn averaged 1.1 more opportunities than Gibbs with Montgomery last year I mean G why is Gibbs Go Round Two Rounds ahead of Anan when they're the same they're looking at the same amount of opportunities I guess because he didn't suffer as many injuries last year I guess that is the reason okay but but man Montgomery to me is a is a less of a threat to get injured this year than moster yeah yeah no Dave Montgomery is a real problem and I I was it's funny I was just thinking about that Montgomery is one of those guys and now we're way off topic but that's one of those guys who's really come up in my ranks because I don't I don't see any reason why they would do anything fundamentally differently in the back field this year than they did last year because it worked so spectacularly last year right and Montgomery had all the goal line carries um so that's a Gibbs to hn is an interesting comparison well done at this I just want to push back because no I don't I think we're baking in some stuff here as a third rounder and I think his upside contingent upside if Mo goes down he doesn't get hurt then H's a top five upside so no I disagree with you I think there's there's upside even to where he's going even guys like me taking him at the end of the second oh no I'm I listen I'm arguing Anan should be in the same conversation with Gibbs I don't I don't think there's huge separation there where I where I where I guess I would push back a little bit is like what is what is the best saquan Barkley season look like in your uh in your estimation versus what the best Devon a CH season looks like at this stage of his career I mean bar Barkley just looks nothing like he did as a rookie year I me his his his targets have dropped five straight Seasons I mean I get he's in a much better environment this year but oh I think anan's best season is is markedly better than this version of of Barkley's best season okay I'm going to need a moment to process this we're going to take our first break we be right back all right I've made my piece with your with your takes on Anan on Richardson uh I'm I'm I'm still still processing a few things here but I think I can I think I can live with it give me give me hot take number four Dalton all right Cooper cup I'm drafting ahead of teammate puka nakua cup has been my wide receiver he my wide receiver nine I've actually had him as my wide receiver 10 for the last couple months and then because of this nakua injury I decided to flip them you won't need to draft that way that's really not my main take here my main take is to draft Cooper cup um I've been going after the younger guys as you see I'm also willing to go after a boring veteran um receivers entering his this his stage of his career in the league typically don't see a major drop off obviously injuries the last couple years are a concern but Cooper Cup on one leg last year matched ncua in targets and Target rate and all that and do not look at his stats his yards per out run all that stuff they were horrible last year yes because he was playing injured he was compromised he was not nearly the player he's going to be this year theoretically uh but all offseason yes he's he's back to 100% MCV basically the offense is running through cup again it's such a condensed offense NOA and cup even if NCA does stay healthy NCA by the way ran more routes last year than he did throughout his entire college career he dealt with a ton of of of injuries in college um even if he stays healthy I think cup can eat they both can be top 10 we do need Stafford to stay healthy as well but this is such a condensed offense I mean their number one tight ends Parkinson I just talked about uh uh Tyron Williams is injury history and um yeah whittington's making some noise and Demarcus Robinson but boy this offense is going to run through Kua and mainly Cup who I think is healthy now and and in full PPR I he's two seasons removed from having the best PPR season in NFL history he's yes he normally I like players on the upside of their career but this you know he's still right there if he's healthy right toward the late stages of his prime so give me Cooper cup is a top 10 fantasy white out yeah okay this is another one that I don't find particularly wild because I I I now have nkua and uh and cup relatively close in my ranks close enough that um if you wanted to make the argument that they're the same tier um i' I'd buy it in fact if you want to make the argument that cup should be taken higher I obviously buy that as well it's not this isn't the craziest thing that I've heard you say I'll just I'll just say that because uh two things number one if I'm not saying you should operate this way but if you do want to um gauge a player's future likelihood of injury based on um their recent history you are right to point out that pukaa has had plenty of injuries throughout his collegiate career right like this is not a guy with like a completely clean uh medical file and number two Cooper cup had the greatest single receiving season in F fantasy history like that's a that's a pretty good thing to have on your resume right like I don't know may maybe the Zoomers don't remember but in 2021 Cooper cup was pretty damn good um and that's you know like once a player has demonstrated that kind of potential um and he's not he's not aged out of the position as you say he's probably on the back nine but he is certainly not aged out of the position um that that is I mean I'm not I'm not predicting a 1900 yard season but it has happened for this guy with this quarterback so we can't completely eliminate the the possibility of it I I think it's perfectly reasonable um how like how are you feeling okay since we I don't know where you are on NCA exactly but you know you've got you've got cup as a potential top 10 fantasy receiver you probably got n inside your top 20 um recognizing that Matt sta is the exact opposite of a Konami Code quarterback right he's going to he's going to run for like 35 yards this year um but he does still have the potential like I don't know I'd put him on the list of guys who have the potential to pass for 5,000 yards where do you have him in your ranks yeah so I have a big top 13 in my quarterbacks and then a a tier you could do Tua Goff Lawrence cousins Stafford Herbert I like Gino Smith Rogers Watson to me that's just a big tier that it's is all similar so I would have Stafford as high as 14 and asow as 20 or whatever you're just dealing with age and injury kind of why he's a little bit lower but the Rams had the most yards per play in the NFL last year when they were healthy when the Kua uh and that wasn't even cup healthy Kiren Williams and their offensive line is sneaky good so um yes Stafford wi healthy could perform as a top 12 fantasy QB even without the running um so cup Cooper cup I'm looking at he's the wide receiver 18 and expert consensus ranks and half PPR my wide receiver nine so that is uh mildly hot but it would have looked hotter if you talk to me six weeks ago because this was my stance six weeks ago I had him rig this side NOA by the way is my wide receiver 10 right behind but where I find it really interesting this year is if you get a late first round pick early second round I don't like it all because if if I'm out on you know Barkley Gibbs and and if I like aan more than them and I like cup and I like cup more than Thea alive London Adams and and you know these guys I'm reaching with my early second round pick quote unquote reaching because so that's why really want a top eight pick this year not only do I like my first round pick better I'm taking the same exact person I'm taking in the second round if I had a late first round pick because I'm I'm taking above 80P so much so that's why I'm sitting with cup like I I honestly will consider him at you know one two turn I I hear you on that and for different reasons um but I've got you know again I I do not intend to go hot take for hot take with you on this show but I do happen to have Isaiah Peko ranked as a potential um first rounder and like I I'll take him without blinking at the start of the second round and that is just not where he goes right like if I had any discipline whatsoever I could try to wait for the third round um but I I can't do it I I like him too much um okay give me give me hot take number five make it a little hotter well I I don't know if you're gonna say if you're gonna poo poo this one as well but it's going against leaport but for the past couple months I've had trade MC bride is my number one fantasy tight end he's typically typically available two to three rounds after both leaport and Kelce and I think he's the best bet to finish with the given Kelsey's age uh laporta's regression from the touchdown department and just looking at the player last year McBride was better yards per route run Target per route run LED all tight ends and first downs per route run last season which is the best stat at predicting future fantasy success um you look at uh so mcde command a 29% Target share after finally becoming a starter week eight he recorded a 20 plus Target share in 12 straight games after that a mar leapor reached just six games all season so give me this offense that was top 10 in the second half you know after Murray recovering from that ACL they added Marvin Harrison Jr yes that'll take away some targets no doubt but this offense is going to be fun I mean getting away from Cliff kingsberry is a big deal we're going to talk about that later I mean there's some concerns there with his offensive structure and we saw Murray improve last year and he's only going to be better now removed from the knee surgery so give me McBride as my top fantasy tight end and I mean all things considered equal and you can even get him a couple rounds later to boot um I I just want to say that this can happen like we don't have to we don't have to you know we don't have to drag Kelsey and lorta down in order for this to happen okay you don't you don't need to go into a DI tribe on my guy Sam laporta who by the way saw like 120 targets last year um and if we like if we think that the Jameson Williams uh phenomenon is going to is going to detract from that in a really significant way I mean that's crazy to me like I don't I don't really see a world in which a healthy Sam pora does not see 110 targets um they worked they worked really well um and where he operates is uh is a perfect fit for Jared gof so like I don't I don't think I don't think Sam lorta gives up a ton um but I do agree with you that McBride is very much in the conversation with with all of the players and I I feel like I've made the argument for Dalton concade a couple times within the last week like there's a group um where if you told me that one of them was going to finish as the tight end one overall and it wasn't going to be leaport and it wasn't going to be Kelsey like that that doesn't shock me and I don't I don't think we need you know sometimes um in the recent past at the tight end position like where there's a clear number one and it's groon or it's Gonzalez or Gates or whoever somebody has a really noisy touchdown season and they end up finishing as the tight end one but I think there's guys like cancade and McBride who can do it just on just on receiving volume so this is this is also not a Nutty take it's not you know I'm not banking on it but I would but I would also like I thinking of my own fantasy portfolio one of my favorite leagues I have McBride for a dollar and I would I would love to see this happen so I'm not um I'm not against it Dalton I'm not against it give me hot take number six I'm going to skip this one but I was just going to lead lean on that and just say the Cardinals are an offense that wins fantasy leagues this year but we already talked about Kyler Murray I brief one I have James Conor as a top 15 back this year too I like I like him so I think Arizona is going to but I want to save one so this is the penultimate two more to go uh because I I thought of a last one we need to end on with you um so I'm going to say Kenneth Walker smashes and finishes as a top 10 fantasy RB even ahead of your guy Pacho who by the way had never reached 170 carries before setting a career this is this is over 205 this is our first B from okayo never even had 200 carries before last year he said a career high 205 uh I'll take him over Travis eten maybe there too eten wore down badly last year tank bigsby's emerging he's a thing uh Ryan Grub's going to use a ton more Motion in Seattle there's going to be far more plays they were just super bad luck in this crazy third Downs both on offense and defense last year the preseason I'm buying the hype Kenneth Walker's catching more balls he's yes his success rate he's Boomer bust Runner but the dude is good the the Seattle's offensive Line's going to be much better this going to be a bunch of high-scoring games in this NFC West this year and I'm buying the Seattle offense jsn is going to emerge there's some meaf Lockett Gino Smith quietly really good last year I know his fantasy stats took a step back but still a good player I think offense going to be good I think Kenneth Walker's going to smash top 10 I'll draft him as a top 10 fantasy RB he may finish higher I'm really interested in the Rin grub offense um I've talked about that a few times uh mostly for uh DK meta purposes and Gino Smith purposes but I am pretty interested in the increased past volume here um you mentioned Kenneth Walker as a boomer bust Runner which has which has really been I don't know like there's there's not there's not a lot of criticism of him and I you know I wouldn't put him in the absolute upper echelon of NFL rushers and I I I think one of the things that holds him back is the is the sort of big play hunting that he does right and I I can imagine uh that frustrating his his coaches at times right like just like just get what we drew up um instead of instead of looking to turn everything into a 65 yard touchdown um like no no concerns about charbon you think they're you think they're that far apart or you think um the offense can be so good that it accommodates both of them so this is a risk is like a new staff you know ties Walker but I'm buying the the um the rhetoric coming out of the this all all throughout camp and it's been K9 hype you look at the nerd stats as a receiver shanet uh yards per route run 085 Kenneth Walker 1.52 twice as good yards per route run yards per reception he's quietly a better receiver I think too so no I think sharan is an okay player nice backup running back to get his insurance but no I don't think he's going to really effectively you know take any meaningful touches and and Walker will get the red zone one so I in on Kine and what has you feeling better about their offensive line um they did make some moves I can't they did make some moves throughout in and they're getting healthier I've looked at the the the Brandon Thorn's established the Run uh guy he had him as an improved line this year so I you know I I I I look at other people that know more than me and I do believe there's some confidence that it cannot be certainly can't be worse than last year it was a real problem last year so I think they addressed it and new coaching and all that I believe it'll be an improvement okay it took it took us a little while here but I think we have found like a legitimately um insane take from you I think there's two tiers of difference between Isaiah pcho and Kenneth Walker um give me good I'm glad we did that and I waited for the last one here too Andy every time we look at our neighbors ranks are just it's what you still have neighbors ranked is like uh this is less to do with me and more to do with you I'm just I have neighbors you know ranked as a top 15 fantasy wide receiver ENT this year and you I don't know last didn't have them as a top 30 fantasy wide receivers so defend yourself here no I think I oh I don't think I'm the one who needs to defend himself I mean his uh his starting quarterback is Daniel Jones who's never produced an 800 yarder um I'm like I'm willing to admit that he's never had a guy like Malik neighbors I think the world of Malik neighbors Talent um again Daniel Jones has never produced an 800 yard receiver he has looked not uh like aesthetically he looks great the beard is working for him um but uh he he ain't looking good in the in the preseason he doesn't look like a fundamentally different Daniel Jones and then plan B is Drew lock who's a party um but I don't I don't think Drew lock is the guy that we want steering in Elite offense um so those are my concerns I think I I think I have neighbors right now in like the mid 20s at receiver I only have like I've done a zillian drafts and I've done a bunch of mock drafts where you know who even cares who you take and I almost never take neighbors I think I think I've got him like once or twice this uh cycle it's just not one of those it's not one of those offenses that um I gravitate toward I'm not you know so I one of one of the areas where I feel like a fraud is I feel like sometimes I've even talked up Devon single ter as like an offseason winner but I never take Devon single ter EI either I'm not going out of my way to get shares of the Giants offense um it could end up a mistake with neighbors I would just be like there's so many other rookie receivers that I sort of secretly like as much as I like neighbors um I I love Brian Thomas um and I'm much more likely entering any draft to end up with Brian Thomas than I am Malik neighbors I don't I don't think neighbors belongs in a in a week one convers like an O like an opening of the Season sort of conversation with Marvin Harrison Jr I can imagine a world I I feel like you and I would should be in agreement on this I can imagine a world where romad dun is immediately the Bear's best receiver I just I just can't get to a a significant touchdown total with uh with neighbors and again the the next time we see Daniel Jones uh uh really feed a number one wide receiver is going to be the first time hey I have a d a Dun over Keenan Allen I love Xavier worthy I love Brian Thomas I'm in on these rookie wide receivers but neighbors is going 50 picks later than Harrison Jr in Yahoo leagues he should he should probably go 50 picks later than Harrison Jr that doesn't seem crazy to me he matched him if not better in college as a being a year younger um Diggs averag 165 targets with dble in Buffalo uh Daniel Jones was about League average success rate with dble I get it could be a problem and and the intercept looked ugly in the preseason but I think Jones can be capable I'm not sure if he gets injured again what would happen there with Drew lock but I think neighbors's special player is going to walk into 160 Targets this year touchdowns could be a problem um but yeah this will be a fun one to to follow because the preseason hype now is going to raise his ADP so I'm back you know I mean it just depends on what league you're in some leagues will go in round two others will go you know much later so I just had to bring him up because I always noticed throughout throughout summer you were you were notably lower on him than than than some of us I I can imagine um I think maybe the most likely scenario for Malik neighbors is um a season that looks like what we've gotten out of Garrett Wilson each of the last two years like we could get to the end of the year and be like man that was heroic I can't believe that guy gave me a thousand yards 1100 yards that was Sensational and each of his three touchdowns was a gem yeah it's entirely possible I'm banking on Daniel Jones being better than the Zach Wilson of The League but I could be wrong and he could get hurt again so so yeah good could could be there's just no one else there in New York but the same could be said with Keys to winning: Is Jayden Daniels a boom or bust QB? Garrett Wilson so totally all right that's fair all right I I love that you finished with a couple of takes that um I I can't even wrap my head around um I think that's great um good work by you um not that I expected anything less we're going to take another break here after this break we're going to dive into a special segment and then get to your mailbag questions all right we are back let's toss it to our keys to winning presented by Toyota a official Automotive partner of the NFL uh for the month of August we want to help you with keys to winning your drafts uh I want to talk about a big kind of Buzzy news item that that broke this week it was actually one of those things that like technically breaking news but I think we all knew it was happening and I was surprised to learn that it had just been announced um Jaden Daniels named officially the uh qb1 the starting quarterback for the Washington commanders again we knew it was going to happen crazy rushing upside um pretty pretty talented passer as well lot of experience um for a rookie he's an older rookie so he's about as as good right now as he's GNA get on his first contract I think um he's surrounded by a little bit of talent although he did just lose Jan doson via trade um Dalton what are your expectations for Jaden Daniels I'm high on Jaden daniels's fantasy value as a rookie he's my qb8 uh I also love Brian Robinson uh to break out this year but uh Andy Baron I have some concerns about this offense I want you to tell me am I being too high on Daniels after looking at preseason usage with new new OC Cliff kingsberry there are some concerning Trends uh the use of motion commanders dead last among 32 teams it'd be nice to note though Andy that my Seahawks were second highest under Ryan grub and your Falcons and bejon Robinson second lowest but commanders last in motion and they've called 19 screens in the preseason no other team's called more than 10 McLaren's been Ling up on one side of the field just like kingsberry used to do DeAndre Hopkins back in Arizona so I do have some concerns about this offensive setup maybe Daniels can overcome it a prolific College rusher but my my anent is up looking at this usage yeah um I a lot of interesting points there a lot of good points I don't it's it's hard for me to believe that the the exact way that they have operated in the preseason is what they're going to carry into the regular season except that there are some things that sync with what we've seen from Kingsbury before right and the idea of McLaren is like this movable chess piece I think is kind of out of the window that would that would that would at this point it would shock me if that if that uh is actually a thing in the regular season I very much doubt it's going to happen um I I admire your rank I'm not quite that high on Daniels but um as a as as far as somebody who could plausibly finish among the top 10 fantasy quarterbacks of course he can he's got that kind of rushing upside if he told me he was going to rush for 800 yards and eight touchdowns nine touchdowns 10 touchdowns of course that's definitely in the range of outcomes he needs to stay healthy needs to avoid some of the like cartoonishly big hits that uh that he was susceptible to as a college player but if he can do that if he can just get down if he can just play 16 17 games the rushing upside alone like he's not going to have to pass for much more than 3600 yards in order to finish the season as a qb1 I think that's a pretty good call by you all right that was our key to winning presented by Toyota Let's uh let's get to what the folks been waiting for um we we know Fantasy mailbag anyone listening to this podcast uh you are likely to have your most important drafts in the next couple of weeks if it's not this weekend it's going to be the following weekend and we are here to help so welcome to the fantasy mail bag You've Got Mail goodbye all right first one here man you guys came through with the with the voice memos let me let me tell you we have asked uh repeatedly for video for voice memos and uh you guys came through with it so uh let's let's get to Anna Anna sends in a voice memo about a Cowboys wide receiver who is not CD lamb hey guys love your show I have a question about Brandon Cooks why is no one talking about him as a sleeper wouldn't he be the clear number two pass catcher in a high volume offense and if by chance CD lamb doesn't play he could go off am I missing something um perhaps a fair question from Anna Dalton uh I'll I'll send this to you are like are we sure that in a scenario in which there was no CD lamb Week 1 which is just for the record not something that I am forecasting um but in a in a scenario absent CD lamb um I I probably don't want I'm I'm not like Allin on the cowboys without lamb right I'm not that excited about him but like Jake Ferguson is there I don't know they're not they're not completely without other weapons um how do you feel about Brandon Cooks I kind of love this point the Cowboys scored by far the most points per game last year CD lamb is gonna sit out the entire preseason I know there's Tolbert height but he hasn't shown it Ferguson's we like him as a fantasy uh player because of the the role he's not a very he's not a Target earner he's not a very good real life player so man I mean Cooks could easily emerge here 30 years old you know and he's missing practice here lately so he's not going to cost you a high draft pick uh yeah I like Brandon Cooks as a deep sleeper and and it makes a lot of sense in that offense no one's talking about the boring veteran and and whatnot but there's a path there for him to be a sneaky fantasy value yeah it's not it's not it's not the worst call and and when Brandon Cooks got going last year he like I don't know he had some he had some weeks uh as soon as the Cowboys decided that they were a pass first pass second team um they were pretty fun he was fun you're right about Ferguson he was mostly a he was mostly a Red Zone SLG go too Target he wasn't he wasn't a guy that you like you know he wasn't an automatic first down he wasn't a guy that they were leaning terribly hard on but he had a role that mattered a whole lot so there I I I basically agree with you that there's a path for Brandon hook Brandon Cooks there are there are young players that I am more likely to take shots on than Brandon Cooks but he is the sort of guy who can help get you you know a point that I that I like make is that you got to try to win September you got to try to go two- one 3-0 right out of the gates and uh Cooks could absolutely be somebody who helps you do that Dall Dallas might also have the worst running back group in the in the NFL I don't hear people talking about that a lot but D I mean Dow just because he's better than Zeke and and train to get doesn't mean he's good I mean there's some really scary underlying stats with d and I mean that they might have the worst receiving group in the league and if if lamb is holding out I mean Cooks yes I mean there there's a weird path for like him to suddenly be like a number one option on that on a team that scored the most points in the NFL last year what a can't I can't believe you did that to producer Colin um I don't even want to know what what Colin is probably seing right now he's a big Rico Dole guy I am not a huge Rico Dole guy I think you're right um this is a this is a pretty ordinary running back room that probably still needs to add someone else um can't really roll that out but I'm yeah I'm I'm with you there uh let's go to let's go to Joey who also sends in a voice memo man you guys really came through has anything that's happened in the preseason Chang the way that you've ranked your rookies for instance before the draft I was thinking I'd probably lean towards Brian Thomas Jr but now with Hollywood Brown potentially being out I'm thinking I might like Xavier worthy over him what do you think of that or any other things that have changed during the preseason um I I'll tell you Dalton something I something I suggested earlier I I don't think it's crazy to assume that romad dun um has a has a real path to being the Bears top receiver or or like a one I think the world of DJ Moore so I'm not going to like I'm not going to make a case that DJ Moore is going to be anything other than his usual 1100 yard 1200 yard self um I think he's great I think you can ask anything of him and he's really really good um I I just think that romad dun has been the guy whatever it's preseason very very limited sample um but when when we're in an improv situation when things have not gone according to script for Caleb Williams uh he tries to get radar lock on romad dun that has that has happened fairly consistently they have had some wow moments together in the preseason um they have they have had some real highlights in Camp I mean shoot they flew to the draft on the same plane right they every time every time one of them makes an appearance somewhere in Chicago the other one is attached to his hip um so I think there's a think there are very strong Vibes there and I think there's a non-trivial CH you know ad dun another one of these guys along with neighbors and Harrison that were part of this incredible um group of of incoming rookie receivers he's somebody who has who has vaulted up the ranks like you I have him a little bit ahead of Keenan Allen at this point um he he's a guy that I've come up on I've always been pretty high on Brian Thomas and of course we can see the path with Xavier worthy so um take this any direction you want to go I'm super high on all these rookies Xavier worthy my wide receiver 35 fastest player in the NFL with Patrick Mahomes gonna be using motion Andy Reid will make it work um ad dunesday yeah I have above Keenan Allen Caleb Williams has no ties to Allen who's maybe overweight maybe not but adun I'm buying the uh you know the hype he's a very good route Runner and Brian Thomas Calvin Ridley had the 10th most expected fantasy points last year and he's replacing him in that role and apparently really really impressing I mean I I I I maybe should move Brian Thomas above Christian Kirk even too there to keep this theme there but um yeah I have all three uh rookie wide receivers as top 40 fantasy white outs and um they may pay off even more so you know the second half of the Year they'll be League winners yeah I think there's a pretty good chance that when we get to the biggest draft week of the of the preseason uh I'm I might have Brian Thomas inside my top 36 receivers um I I just think he's a sensational Talent um and people have you know if you've heard me on on previously during convictions week you know how strongly I feel that he is a perfect pairing with what Trevor Lawrence has always done well right like you want to you want to talk somebody talk about somebody who is great as a vertical threat and a quarterback who has been Adept at the Deep ball since he came into the league I mean this is just a wonderful pairing so I think Thomas has a great year as long as he stays healthy let's go to let's go to Matt who man Matt sent in a video um so let's man we again we we begged for this stuff we begged for your videos we begged for your voice memos you guys came through so let's see what what Matt has to ask hey guys got a keeper question here half PPR four point TouchDown for quarterbacks you take uh olve in the seventh or Richardson in the 11th thanks guys all right listen um I I know we have begged for your uh for your videos for your voice memos I like I appreciate that you sent in a video pull pull over to the side of the damn road okay this makes me nervous this is the this is the dad in me I guess um we don't we don't need you recording your videos while you are operating a vehicle um that is I you're you're a busy person I get it um Matt you you are you are an example of somebody who didn't necessarily have to send in a video I appreciate that you did but um don't put yourself for anybody at risk to do it um even though this is a very important question um I kind of feel like I know which way Dalton is leaning on this one oh I don't feel strongly here these are so tough like knowing without the context you know of who's going to be available at those spots a goes a couple rounds earlier than Richardson so I feel like this is a fair you know close either or but yeah give me my guy AR I mean give me Richardson my number one fantasy QB that that late in the draft a still has questions I mean I I have confidence kubak will increase his production but he's no like he's one of those guys we're unsure of as a second round pick you know not a slam we feel great about so I go Richardson but there's no wrong answer here they're both great Keepers yeah listen I think olave is a good I think he's a very good player uh very good real life player um we saw multiple instances last year in which uh he and Derk Carr did not have good vibes I talked about the Good Vibes between Roman dun and Caleb Williams um that is the opposite of what we appeared to have between uh between Carr and alve last year it's kind of a low upside offense I mean Derek Carr is generally somebody that we expect to come in around 20 21 22 touchdown passes um I I would keep Richardson like remember the you know if Richardson has the season that we all think he's capable of um he's gonna he's gonna go in the second or third round next year like that's where these guys go that's where Josh Allen goes that's where that's where momes Jackson like they're they're all like top of draft guys so if if you can actually keep him in the 11th and you get um you know top of the ranks value that that's too much for me to pass up I couldn't possibly do it let's uh let's go to one more here oh man this one's this one's perfect um Christopher sends in this email about taes Hill one thing I know for sure you'll call me a sicko for asking this question um what I don't know will you he addressed this to Matt Haron will you Matt Haron use your arguably immense power to write what is wrong my question complaint why has Yahoo decided to make Tamm Hill eligible as QB only and not as tight end well it is your lucky day uh Christopher because he we have actually added tight end eligibility to Tamm Hill um I I will say that uh Matt Haron is not responsible for position eligibility as much as I would love to lie and say that he was he is not responsible for position eligibility uh nor is anyone who uh appears on this podcast uh position eligibility originally comes from like our stats provider and then you know it's our game if we want to we can we can make adjustments to it so tight end eligibility was added to taes Hill there's I will say there's not a perfect position for him um I I think you could argue that he should be a running back and nothing else um he you know we've seen him lined up that way but we've also seen him lined up as a and used as a tight end maybe maybe tight end is the kind of catchall position that we should use in cases like this where somebody finds their way to the back field and they're the Wildcat quarterback and they're sometimes a receiver I don't know he's tast some Hill he's unique um it if if we do come to a point in the season and this isn't guaranteed by any means but if we did come to a point in the season where tames Hill was actually actually had to be used as the quarterback this would be a crazy cheat code because one thing I will tell you is once we add eligibility to a to a player in season we do not take it away I could see him being used as a running back or fullback a lot more this year with the first of all they're Alternatives in New Orleans but the way he's been used in the preseason so Hills my tight end 13 I think there's a clear-cut top 12 but I I could see you argue you know versus Dallas godd right there too um and then it's a total crapshoot afterward there with guys like Fri MTH and Schultz you know maybe seen less work as a first team as expected too so he's absolutely in the fantasy radar now as a tight and eligible in Yahoo um Tamm Hill it's a you're right It's Tricky but we we we made him tight and eligible and everyone should treat him accordingly and draft him as a top 15 guy yeah let me let me ask you about that a little bit because um I I love getting into your thought process on rankings I have I have hated ranking Tamm Hill as a tight end because he's one of those guys where like I know I know I'm getting two games a year maybe maybe there's a third game in there where tesm Hill just goes nuclear right and it's two touchdowns and maybe throws for one only gets five touches but like you know whatever he finishes with 10 20 plus fantasy points and then he's he's so quiet in the other weeks so he's among boom bust players he is an unusual um category of Boom bus player um but but maybe it won't be like that this year maybe there's a a rushing role for him that is a little bit more consistent um I don't know do you view him as basically fundamentally the same guy that he was last year or do you think we're going to see a handful of additional carries uh no I do not view him as the same I've been traditionally like you ranking him around 18 19 20 and hating to rank him this year I feel it's a little different I'm excited after that group I want him among that tier I want to go after him I think it could be different with his usage but of course I could be wrong and it could be the same old but to me it feels a little different and worth going after especially again that tear up from 13 to 30 it tied in to me is a a total crapshoot so go after and I like tast them as much if not more or more than all of them so that's where I stand with him but I hear you it is frustrating guy to rank historically yeah of course the upside to to TM is that he could win you a match up in any given week right and and I I will not say the same of the tight ends that we have in the ranks from like tight end 15 on I don't I wouldn't classify those guys as players who can just single-handedly win you a matchup and and Tamm is definitely one of those guys all right just a reminder the fantasy mailbag is open for business for the rest of August um be sure to send in your voice memos and videos do not be operating a motor vehicle while you send in these videos I appreciate you Matt but um that was above and beyond the call and certainly unnecessary and certainly not recommended don't do that um don't be like Matt but please you know from a from a standing or seated position not um operating a vehicle feel free to send in a video do it to Fantasy mailbag at yahoosports.com our goal again to get to as many of your questions as we possibly can also a reminder week one is about two weeks away and as you all know from the countless live reads around here we got a little thing going with NBC Sports this year if you sign up for a fantasy league on Yahoo fantasy you will automatically be entered to win one million if any of the players you start score a touchdown in the week one games on NBC and peacock you'll earn bonus entries into the sweep
