It always be the expectation night Man at you go ahead.
Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. Back for another year.
I'm sorry for the hiatus, but we're ready for an
incredible twenty twenty four twenty twenty five season. Mitchell, how
have you been?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Richard?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
We are back. I could not be better. I'm not
more excited. The Lions are in training camp. Everyone's fired
up in Detroit. I know everyone's fired up in Seattle,
but there I want to talk to you about the
news out of San Francisco, out west by you Richard,
there's a little bit of turmoil brewing in camp right
now without Brandon Ayuk there. We just call it a word
(02:39):
that the Niners have allowed him to seek a potential
trade partner.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Richard, what do you seek?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Humming of this Brandon Ayuk situation in San francis mis
right now?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I got to put my Niners thinking cap on Mitchell
because it's it's it's such a weird situation because we
all intends to purposes. Both sides have done everything you
want in this relationship. They've had team success, Brandon Ayuk
has had individuals success. They drafted him in the first round.
(03:11):
He's done everything you expect a first round receiver to do.
Been very productive, coming off his most productive year with
multiple quarterbacks, been relatively healthy throughout the most of his career.
You can't be mad at him if you're the forty
nine ers, and if you're him, you really can't be
mad at the forty nine ers that gave you a
legitimate chance on the championship contending team for your entire career.
(03:34):
It's been a magnificent career so far, but it just
doesn't seem like it's gonna have that happy ending. It's
gonna have one of those endings that just leaves a
bad taste in everybody's mouth, and it's nobody's fault. Brandon
did everything he's supposed to do. He played well. He's
a great teammate, great person, great individual, great Everything San
(03:57):
Francisco has done right by him. Been a good organization,
but good teammates around him, kept great structure, not a
lot of volatility in terms of the coaching staff or
the front office. It's been pretty consistent from both sides.
But at the end of the day, we knew this
point would come for the San Francisco forty nine ers.
You can't pay everyone, and you've already paid Nicholas John Boss.
(04:21):
You've played, You've paid Depot, You've paid Christian McCaffrey again.
You paid George Kittle, you paid Trent who's back at
the table for a little bit more off of it.
You paid Tarvarius Ward, who you got from the Kansas
City Chief. You paid all pro Fred Warner, you prayed
Drake Greendal. They have done everything they can to keep
this incredible team together, Mitchell, but I just don't see
(04:45):
it working out in a way that Brandon is happy
and the forty nine ers are happy either way. If
he leaves, they're both gonna be unhappy. If he stays,
I think they're both happier than if he leaves. But
if if he leaves, he likely gets the most money
he could possibly get. He likely gets his thirty million
dollars that he's seeking. He gets treated like a number
(05:06):
of true number one receiver. He gets targeted that way,
he gets game planned that way, he gets all the
claim that comes with being a number one receiver. But
it's likely are a less competitive team. It's a less
competitive quarterback situation, it's a less competitive offensive structure and
stability in terms of just having a championship culture that
(05:29):
you're used to. So I think at the end he'll
get that. I mean, last I heard last news that
was breaking was it was between New England and Cleveland.
Those are the offers that San Francisco forty nine ers
felt were viable for them to trade Brandon Ayu and
they leave, They're leaving the ball in his court to
make a decision based on those teams. But Mitchell, I'm
(05:51):
not I don't know if I'm taking either one of
those options. And for the San Francisco forty nine ers.
I don't think either one of those options give you
what you give you help right now, you know, unless
you're getting Matthew Judon and you know, I hearing Kendrick
Bourne coming back to San Francisco, which would be fine
if you said Matthew Judon Kendrick Bourne in the second
round pick. I think San Francisco would take it, you know.
(06:14):
But if you're not saying something like that, I don't
I don't really see it working out. And that really
doesn't feel the void that that Brandon Ayuk would create.
You know, you'd have to feel that by committee. You
obviously the rookie parasol is gonna have to do as part,
Debo is gonna have to do a lot more. Kittle's
gonna have to be relied upon. There's only one ball
to go around for all these playmakers, so you know,
it's kind of addition by subtraction because you just put
(06:36):
weight on all the rest of these shoulders. But for Brandon,
how well do you fit in New England? You know,
obviously it's a new coaching staff. This isn't a Belichick regime.
This is a new new regime, a new culture, a
new everything. But it's still a young quarterback, a lot
of unknowns there, a new offense, unknowns there, instability at
offensive line for New England. I don't know. Then you
(06:59):
go to Cleveland situation and I'm hearing that it could
be a mari Cooper and some picks, which which I
just again, he fits in some ways to Shanahan's offense,
but in other ways he doesn't, you know, I mean
Shanahan brand Nay, You've blocks his butt off every single play, Mental,
I mean, you've seen viral clips of him blocking sixty
seventy yards down the field against the Pittsburgh Steelers in
(07:22):
numerous other games, and that's just the culture in San Francisco.
You know, that's something that Mariy Cooper would have to
adjust to. I don't you know, no, no offense to him.
I don't remember ever seeing a clip from Mariy Cooper
blocking sixty yards down the field. Mental, And again, how
much does that help you right now in San Francisco
with the adjustment, you know, some of the injury history
with Amary, some of the other concerns that that that
(07:45):
teams have had over the years. I just you know it,
it's just one of those situations where I don't think
anybody feels great about it right now. You know, I
think he should be in San Francisco. I think both
sides feel better if he was in San Francisco. It
just doesn't seem like it's gonna work out that way.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Well, Richard, San Francisco has been knocking on the door
of the Super Bowl for the last five years, you know,
and let's not sugarcoat things. Without Brandon Ayuk, this offense
is different. And as you said, you know, it's a
good problem to have. I guess you have a surplus
of elite level talent. I mean, most top one hundred
players in the league. I believe they got nine on
(08:23):
the on their their roster right now, which is unbelievable,
and ultimately cap space is gonna eventually become an issue.
Brandon Ayuk is a part of this puzzle that makes
the offense go round. You know, you saw this team
without Deebo Samuel last year a man, and imagine that
without their deep threat, they're gonna be leaning heavily on
the rookie and then Richard around the corner. What we
(08:46):
see next year? This lotto ticket they got in brock
Purty they're gonna have to pay it. We just saw
Brandon or Jordan love get two hundred and twenty million,
two hundred and twelve point four, Trevor Lawrence five for
two seventy five, and Jared Goff four for two twelve.
I mean, Richard, we're gonna be looking in the fifty
(09:08):
a year market for a guy named Brock Purty. What's
next for this team? Is this the beginning of the
end of this championship window for the San Francisco forty
nine ers.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It was already there, Mitchell. The writing was already on
the wall. Last year they made another Super Bowl run,
and I think they'll have a chance to make it,
you know. I think they'll need a little bit more
luck this year, the balls to balance their way to
make it again. But they still have an incredibly talented team,
as you can see by by the nine players on
the top one hundred list. But you have to make
(09:43):
a decision somewhere. There has to be some give and
take somewhere, And it looks like the they're gonna they're
the the fact that they shave is going to be
Brandon Ayuk and they're going to try to make it
up in other ways. But again, like you just said,
Brock Perdy is gonna need fifty Mitchell, it's gonna be
closer to sixty million dollars. If you're paying Trevor Lawrence
fifty five million without a lot of playoffs success, Mitchell,
(10:04):
all you're basing that off of his projections because he
has not won in this league. And so if you're
playing guys like that, then a guy like Brod Perdy,
just like Brandon Ayuk, when he saw guys get paid
thirty million, he saw your guy, I'm on Ross, Ain't
Brown get thirty two. He saw Justin Jefferson get paid
thirty His number was only like twenty seven Mitchell, twenty seven,
twenty eight. You know, they're flirting with that. But once
(10:26):
those numbers came down, his number increased, he's saying, hey,
I'm one of those guys. I can be as productive
as those men are in that situation. Sometimes you're handicapped
by the situation you're in at In some games, Mitchell,
he's the fourth option. Some games he's the first option.
You know, depending on how the game shakes out. It
maybe Christian McCaffrey's day, maybe George Kittle's day, maybe Deep o'
(10:47):
samuel's day, Mitchell Art might be Brandon Ayuk's day. You
never know. I mean, in the Super Bowl it was
not any of their days. It looked like Juwan Jennings day,
you know. And then an offense that's spreads the ball
that much, it's really tough to justify paying somebody thirty
plus million. And I know that's what San Francisco forty
nine ers are up against. But that's not Brandon Ayuk's problem.
(11:10):
That's not his problem. He's saying, Hey, I'm productive, I'm
one of the best out there. You're gonna pay me
like one of the best out there, whether you use
me that way or not. That's what my talent says,
that's what my production says, and I respect that. Mitchell. Again,
I'm not mad at either side. I just don't feel
like either side's gonna end up happy with the way
this goes. I feel like this is a bit of
(11:31):
a lose lose situation for both sides. In what has
been an incredible relationship between San Francisco forty nine ers
and Brandon Ayuk. I just.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Well, Richard, let's stay in the NFC West and let's
go to your home, Seattle. The Seattle Seahawks got a
new head coach. We've talked about that, you know, our
in our offseason episodes. Mike McDonald, What have you heard?
I mean, what has changed culturally? Has anything changed in Seattle?
Like what your expectations going into the preseason games here
(12:03):
with Seattle?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Well, look again, Metroll, let me change my thinking camp
and put my Seattle thinking cap on. It's a lot
of excitement in Seattle right now, Mitchell. I don't know
if the fans are hearing it. I don't know if
they're seeing it in training camp. But everything I'm hearing
from the players, the staff, everybody in the building is
this defense that Mike McDonald has come up with is
(12:27):
an issue, and he's putting guys in positions. Guys are
are thriving in this system. There is a lot of
chaos being created.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Offensively, they're still figuring it out. But I mean, Gino
Smith looks really good. DK looks good. I think the
JSN looks really good. Tyler looks good. K nine, your
boy looks ready, rare it up to go for another
incredible season. That offensive line looks healthy as ever. So
there's a lot of excitement. Mitro. There's gonna be some
(12:58):
some fantasy football ranks that that change defensively based on
some insider information. But we're gonna get to that later on.
But I think there's gonna there's gonna be some heads turned,
you know, the first few games, uh Seattle plays, especially defensively.
I think people people are still on the fence about Geno.
But Gino's a guy unless as I give he's a guy.
(13:20):
He's a guy, and I'm gonna go with that. You
can judge him off his first ten years and you
know how up and down that went, or you can
judge him off the last couple. I'm gonna judge him
off the last couple because he's been a guy, went healthy,
he's playing at a really high level. He looks great
in training camp. He's dialed in as he's ever been.
DK looks great, ready for a breakout season. They have
(13:41):
all the pieces in place to make an incredible running
If that defense plays like they've been playing practicing, well,
there's gonna be some some uh some changings, uh changing
of the guards in some areas of this National Football League.
But I think there's a lot to be excited about obviously,
you know, it's first time coordinators in the National Football League.
(14:03):
That's always tough. That's always you know, a mystery how
that's going to go, How you deal with the trials
and tribulations. These aren't college kids. These aren't kids you
could just say, hey, go over here and jump up
through this hoop. You know, you got these are grown men.
You got to talk to them differently, got to coach
them differently. And it's an adjustment dealing with that in
the chaos of a real game. And I think that's
going to be a bit of an adjustment for for
(14:25):
all this, this entire staff. Mike McDonald has never been
a head coach. But in terms of everything I've heard
and everything they could put on tape and could do
to inspire a fan base and inspire a team, Mitchell,
they have done it. They have done it. They are
rare to go. You know. Obviously, you know they did
the whole picture takedown thing of the hallway walking towards
(14:46):
the team meetings, and then they did the whole uh
change back and forth and stand in front of the
tip picture during the draft. You know, obviously, John Snyder
and Mike have a sense of humor. But it's been
really positive over there, and I'm heading to a training
cramp practice later on this week to check them out
live again. But Seattle fans got a lot to be
(15:07):
excited about right now. Hopefully it pans out how it
how it looks, and how it sounds right now, Mitchell,
But really positive.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Like you said, Richard, last season, you saw glimpses they
just couldn't stay healthy. The old line was beat up,
but they got all the weapons. K nine looks to
be in shape, are rare and ready to go. If
Gino can stay healthy with this wide receiving corps, who
knows they might be able to knock out San Francisco
and take over the NFC West. It's going to be
a challenge, Richard. Let's go down to Texas well.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
One more second, Mitchell, because because they there's been so much,
so many pieces that they got on the defense that
you really don't appreciate it. It's just like uh in
in in Baltimore. You know, there were guys that had
career years that that weren't expected to have career years.
Now you got really proven players. Jared Rea is really
(16:00):
revved up to have an incredible year. I think he's
gonna do a great job. Tarik Wooling has been having
an incredible camp. I think this team has all the
playmakers that they need defensively. The defensive line is really
really incredible. Let me go down the list, because I
thought it was an embarrassment of riches when they got
(16:22):
some of these guys and then they drafted a guy
in the first round. I was like, oh, that just
seems a bit much. Because you got Leonard Williams, you
got Jared Reed, you got Draymont Jones, who they paid
a ton of money for. You got your Chinna Nuosu,
who's back after coming off an injury. You got Byron
(16:43):
Murphy who he took in the first round. That's a
lot of money. That's a lot they got invested on
the D line. So I don't want to hear anything
about they're not investing in the D line or how
they're gonna stop the run. They got D lineman. They
have a ton of D linemen that better show up
and better play big this year. Devin Witherspoon is probably
the best player on this defense right now, with how
(17:04):
he played last season. Very pissed off that he didn't
make the top one hundred, which is I just odd.
I just didn't get that. I mean, I thought he
would make it, but sometimes when you're young. He was
a top five pick though, so usually you get top
five respect But I think this team has got everything,
but they need their big time players to play big,
and so they need these guys to play big. I
(17:25):
don't know what's going on with Byron Murphy. I have
not heard a ton about him outside of some off
the field stuff, some nonsense, but I haven't heard a
lot of big splash from his training camp. So hopefully
he does something in the preseason to get these fans excited.
But right now, he's not even a starter on the
depth chart, which isn't anything to be upset about because
(17:45):
you got big time players in Jaron Reid who's played
football for a long time and played some great football,
and Leonard Williams. Those guys. Those guys are foundational pieces
to this organization. But you kind of left your left
scratch your head where does he fit in?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Then?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
You know that's one of the things that the questions
that are going to have to get answered over the
next couple of weeks of why'd you draft this kid?
When you just paid all this money for Draymont Jones,
Jaron Reed, Leonard Williams, and then you draft a kid
that is going to back these guys up. I don't know, well.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Depth in the trench is Richard, if you can build
that D line like you said with Witherspoon and Riek
wooland I mean, that defense looks like they have the
potential to be a very good defense in this NFL. Richard,
you talked about the NFL Top one hundred. I'm just
curious here Tyreek Hill goes number one, Patrick Mahomes number four.
How in the world is Patrick Mahomes? And then I
(18:41):
see that Aaron Rodgers makes the list after playing what
five snaps Your thoughts on the NFL's Top one hundred.
I know you appeared high up in that list several times.
What do you make of this year's list.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I don't know, Mitchell, I don't know what you're doing.
I don't know what they're doing with this one. For
Tyreek to go one. You know, at times during the
season you could you could say that, you say, man,
he looked unbelievable. But maybe at two or three, you know,
and you can make a case for Lamar Jackson being
two or three, you know, MVP of the league. But
(19:15):
when a guy or the third season cruises his team
through then gets into the playoffs, tears apart three of
the best teams in the National Football League. It wasn't
like he didn't have Murderers Row. He had Murderers Row.
He had to go through a gauntlet to get there,
and everybody's it. He gets through this one. You got
to give him credit because that at Baltimore defense and
(19:37):
Mike McDonald, they were tearing everybody apart. You know, it
was a big, huge headline when they had that game
against San Francisco forty nine ers with the five turnovers,
the touchdowns, they just disrupted that team. Went to San Francisco,
beat the brakes off of them, came back and put
the league on notice. And here come Patrick Mahomes in
the playoffs. All that defense is cool, but Kansas City's
(20:01):
defense showed up. They're offense scored seventeen, just enough to
win it. But in the playoffs in the Super Bowl,
he did more than enough to beat the San Francisco
forty nine ers, kept them in that game, made some
fantastic players down the stretch, won the game in overtime.
I just don't see how you can put him anywhere
but first and making a legit legit case. I mean,
(20:23):
you're losing credibility here. You're losing credibility. If this guy
is four, you're losing credibility because in the playoffs when
it mattered most, that's pretty much where a lot of
these things are judged like because that's the last football
you see. So if you're judging things off the regular season,
I guess I could see it being the ranked the
way it is. But if you're ranking it with the
(20:45):
full breath, the full scope of everything you got to
offer and everything we saw last season from preseason football
to the end of the Super Bowl, you can't put
him four, Mitchel. You can't. You can't. That's disgusting, discredit
to the list. That's discrediting your list and what you
guys have done. Because Rieke wasn't one. He wasn't one
(21:08):
you He got bullied by Lagerius Sneed in the playoffs
he got he got bullied in a big way in
the biggest game he got. He came back to Kansas City,
could have had a huge impact on that game. They
singled him up, they doubled him, but at the end
of the day you saw him getting pressed to the
ground a few times in the playoffs. You can't be one.
You can't be one, Mitchell. I'm sorry, Like you could
(21:29):
be two, three, but you can't be one after that.
And and if you put those things, if you put
all of that into your calculation, then I don't know
how you do that. Trent Williams. I understand he probably
could have been a little lower. Be'st left tackling football
about to get paid again. That's why he's not practicing
him playing right now, because you know, hey, I'm thirty six,
(21:51):
but there's more money to be gotten and if I'm
gonna get it at the end, I'm gonna get it
at the end. But there's not many people arguing that
he doesn't deserve it. If you look at the rankings
with where they put Brandon Ay, I thought that was
incredibly though at sixty six, I said, wow, sheesh, I
know they don't have that. They got to hire a
bit of respect for what BA put on tape, But yeah,
(22:12):
I didn't like.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Well the fact that Patrick Mahomes appears at four and
Aaron Rodgers even appears on this list discredits this list
beyond measure in my opinion, Richard, I mean, there's so
many other players that deserve to be on the top
one hundred. If you're out for the season one series
into the game, I'm sorry, but you probably shouldn't be
on the list, you know. But we can save that
(22:33):
for another day, Richard. I want to talk a little
bit about Dallas. They have seemingly lost this offseason. If
there is a loser of the offseason, you got to
give it to the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
We've seen it.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And I don't want to brag about my hometown Detroit Lions,
but I want to use them at least as an
example here. The Lions are stacked with young talent. They've
had guys on their roster they said they wanted to
take care of and they took care of him early.
They paid Penney Sewel when he's got two years left
on his rookie deal. And then you see Tristan Wurf's
get paid more than them a month later. They paid
(23:07):
paid amn raw top dollar. Then we see Aj Brown,
Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, inevitably, you know Brandon Ayu. You
get ahead of the curve. You see Jared Goff get
paid two twelve. Then we see Trevor Lawrence get paid more,
Tua get paid more, Jordan Love get paid more.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
When you're ahead of the.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Curve like the Lions were, you don't have to deal
with what Ceedee Lamb wants now at thirty five million.
If they would have paid him last year, he probably
would have made away with twenty eight thirty million. They've
done this year after year after year, and now Dak
wants his payment. You know, then they're gonna have to
pay Michael Parsons and Dexter Lawrence and all these guys. Richard,
(23:46):
how much did they fumble this offseason?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
In your opinion, I.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Mean as big of a fumble as there has ever been, Mitchell.
This is this is a disastrous level of front office management,
of player management, roster management, whatever you want to put it.
Because and some of it is a front office some
of it is Jerry's expectations and the things that he said.
(24:15):
If he didn't say anything, you don't expect anything, and
I guess you still expect something, but you don't expect
him to go all in when you say we're all
in this off season and you don't pay any of
your high profile guys, You don't pay any of the
best players that are on your team. And it's like,
all in, I mean, are you saying that if we
don't win this season, we're blowing the whole thing up
(24:35):
and you're getting rid of your best players. Because I've
never seen that work in this league. I have never
ever seen that work where you go into a season
instead of paying your best guys, you let them all walk,
and you start all over, starting from the quarterback, because
you have foundational players that foundational spots that have to
get paid. You have CD Lamb who's, like you just said,
(24:58):
it's thirty five million dollars likely. You have Micah Parsons,
who's likely again thirty three thirty four million dollars a year.
And it's because you waited, because you did this because
of patience, or hey, you think you know better, or
you're you're waiting for him to get injured, or you
took a gamble and you lost. They're winning this game.
Players are winning this gamble right now. Dak Prescott is
(25:20):
winning this game. And for everybody and anybody who's saying
Dak Prescott doesn't deserve sixty million dollars and how can
they pay Dak Prescott. Please please take a little bit
of time out your day go to the playoff standings
for every single quarterback that you think deserves more money
(25:40):
than him, and see what they are. See how many
games they've won in these good playoffs that that everybody
puts Dak on the pedit they killed Dak about it? Hey,
Jack doesn't win in the playoffs, none of them do.
Patrick's the only one who's been winning as of late.
Last couple of Super Bowl winners or what Patrick on Stafford,
(26:01):
I think those are the last for the last four
or five years. Those are the quarterbacks that have won them.
Are any of your favorite quarterbacks on that list? They're not,
so they didn't win it, so they're not winning. So
every quarterback that you put on these lists, like, man,
he's better than Dak, he deserves more than Dak. He
deserves he probably doesn't. Dak was second team All Pro
last year. Honestly had an MVP caliber season, and I
(26:25):
thought it should have deserved more consideration. But that's a
story for a different day. But it's almost like more
people are saying they need to get rid of Dak
Prescott more like more people are saying, like at the
best season of his career, and now y'all say and
get rid of him because they got put out of
the playoffs, Like that defense didn't let let Jordan Love
(26:48):
have a field day. Like, oh man, it was all
Dak Prescott. He don't play offense in defense, Ladies and gentlemen,
he does not. And obviously, you guys know, I'm not
the biggest Cowboys fan in the world at all, but
I'm not gonna let nobody sit here and tell play
me like a fool. And clearly, if you believed in
your guys, you would pay them. If you're a if
(27:10):
you're a good organization, like you said Mitchell Detroit is
creating a good organization a great culture. Hey, you earn
your money, We pay you your money. We keep homegrown.
CD Mike are home grown. Dak is home grown, and
you're not paying them. What message are you sending to
the rest of the team. Hey, if you play like
(27:31):
a superstar for our team, we're gonna make you play
a whole contract out and we still might not pay you.
Is that the message that you want? That's a winning culture.
It's not it's not a winning culture, and I don't
understand it. I don't even understand what you're thinking, what
the logic is. I can't even find us a silver
lining to be like, well, maybe they're thinking about this.
It's like, hey, we want the price on all these
(27:53):
guys to be as high as possible, and then we're
gonna pay it, or then you're not gonna pay it,
and somebody else is gonna pay it, and you're gonna
lose them all free and get what a third rounder.
It's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It's colossal mismanagement this offseason, Richard. I'm very interested to
see what happens to them going into next season and
the season thereafter and how this roster shakes out.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Richard.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I want to start talking a little bit more about
something we really haven't talked a whole lot about, and
that's fantasy football. Shout out to our partner Fantasy Pros.
You know, they gave us a little fantasy cheat sheet
that we got. You can check them out for all
your fantasy sports needs. I know it's fantasy draft season
for all you guys.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Richard.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
I gotta get your take on this year's landscape. Let's
go through the top ten at each spot, you know,
top ten QB, wide receiver, tight end, you know, give
me some of your sleepers along the way. Richard, let's
start with the qbs. Who do you like going into
this year's fantasy football season?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Well, I think in a quarter with the quarterbacks, you
gotta start with Josh Allen. I mean his production is undeniable. Obviously,
the turnovers are something in that that believes you just
catching your head. But in terms of fantasy he's got
to be number one on the list. Mitchell. I think
he had what do you have? Forty forty two, forty
three touchdowns last year?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He dominated?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
He dominated. Jalen Hurt's got to be next on the list.
I think he's going to be incredibly productive. He's looking
healthy faster than ever. It looks like that knee injury
that was nagging him last season has gotten healed up.
He looks as good as he's ever looked. And he
has two big time receivers in All Day always Open
aj Brown. Of course, I mean that that receiving core
(29:33):
is gonna be as good as it gets, I think.
I I mean, they're both over twenty million. Whatether they
getting as getting thirty plus thirty right, AJ's getting thirty plus,
and let's see, I think he's getting twenty Demonte is
(29:56):
getting twenty five. So you got fifty seven a million
dollars a year invested in the receiving corps. I think
they better be productive, Mitchey and I think they're going
to be Obviously. Patrick Mahomes has got to be on
this list with his new weapons, but he's losing Jerick McKinnon.
But I think he's gonna be as productive. As long
as Travis Kelsey's there. His production isn't gonna dip. He
(30:19):
got his deep threat, he got his new deep threat.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
He got a couple of deep threats right right, right,
right right, Nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
But speedsters on that line up now, nothing but speed
where Shee Rice should be.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Hopefully, you know, he gets over his legal issues and
he'll be really good. That offensive line is going to
be even better this year, even healthier. Xavier Worthy looks.
I mean, every time you look up and see a
highlight of him, he's freaking running down the field by himself,
and of course Patrick can get it there. I think fourth,
you got Lamar Jackson coming off MVP season, is going
(30:56):
to be production I think he's gonna have to He's
not gonna need to be espertive because they got Derreck
Henry now, and he can just turn the ball, handed
it off to Derrick Henry fifteen to twenty times a game,
maybe more in certain situation, and take some of the
load off of his back and put it on somebody else.
I think CJ. Stroud is the next one on my list.
(31:18):
That I mean, he's a guy, he's a guy. He's
a guy, and he's gonna be more predictive. With Diggs, Nicocollins,
Hank Dlle coming back healthy. I mean, these guys, it's
gonna be a fun watch. I'm excited to watch that.
They you know, they got Anthony Richardson in there. I
(31:39):
just don't know. There's too many unknowns for me right now.
Anytime a kid is spending his days dipping his shoulder
in the National Football League and he plays quarterback, I
don't expect his career to go great. I don't unless
he changes that this year and that'll change his fantasy outlook.
Because he had rushing touchdowns this year. He's gonna have
to throw the football a lot more and stop putting
his body in arms way, and I think that lowers
(32:02):
his fantasy value. So I'm gonna take him out of
my top ten. Put CJ. Stroud up. I'll accept Tyler
being at ten, not gonna accept him being at seven
because I just I don't think they have enough offensive weapons.
I don't think the offensive line is there. I think
they are gonna run the ball.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Well.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
They did it last year and that's when they had
the most success as a team is when they ran
the football. I think Joe Burrow has to be there
because he Jamar Chase. I mean, they lose Joe Mixon,
but they're still gonna be a team to be reckon
with Dak Prescott of course needs to be there in
Brock Purdy regardless of how all this shakes out, He's
(32:41):
gonna spread the ball around as he has in training camp.
He's gonna have an abundance of playmakers to get the
ball to, and they're gonna make make him look good
whether he's throwing five yard passes or fifty yard passes.
So I think you got to put him in there.
And honorable mention alight eleven. You gotta put Jordan Love
because I think he's making those receivers really good, and
they were really great when they were young, and they're
(33:02):
gonna be even better this year.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Richard, Quarterbacks one of those positions you can generally wait
later in the draft to peck, unless you want a
guy like a Josh Allen or Jalen Hurtz. We've seen
it in years past, you know, not too often, but
looking back to Cam Newton's rookie year, he took over
the fantasy football world, probably one undrafted in most drafts,
one late rounds. Do you think there's a quarterback in
(33:27):
this rookie prop that could have a similar season. I mean,
we got Jaden Daniels, as I got Wheels, you know,
Caleb Williams. You know, here's this highly touted guy out
of USC with a ton of options for the Bears.
Do you like either of those quarterbacks? You think that
they could make a CJ. Stroud like effect in the
fantasy football world?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
No, no, no, I It's unfair to compare anything to
a kid like c J. It was so rare. You know,
even if great quarterbacks don't have rookie years like that.
I mean, we can, we can go down the list,
but I think think Taylor has a chance to be
really productive just because of what they put around him offensively,
they put a lot of veteran well that he has
(34:08):
two veteran receivers, and he I mean, you can't really
beat that. Keenan Allen gets open in the phone booth,
and he's been really good for a long time. So
you expect him to be productive rome a doonsday they drafted.
I think he'll be really productive. I think he's gonna
be a big time receiver. And I thought he would
(34:29):
would go higher than what he did in this draft.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
And then they got DJ Moore, I mean, and then
they got DJ Moore. I could not think of Dj
Moore from my life.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah. DJ Moore was really productive last year, turning a
lot into I mean a little bit into a lot
with with less than adequate quarterback play. So I think,
you know, I think he could. He's set up for success,
but the expectations may be too much. He was kind
of violent at USC, especially against higher caliber. You know,
go look at the Utah games, the Oregon games, the
(35:04):
Washington games. They just didn't he didn't look like the
same guy he did against the other teams. So we'll see.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Though I don't want to bring weather into this, but
generally fantasy football playoffs or later in the season when
you've got a guy playing outside in the Windy City,
those unpredictability of the weather can play a huge role
down the stretch. Richard, Let's bring it over to the
running backs. I know you love the guy on top
of this list, Christian McCaffrey, but you know who's slots
(35:33):
in it behind him. Everyone loves Brece Hall now that
Aaron Rodgers is there, but and you look at last
year's rookies, but John Robinson and Jamier Gibbs. My guy, like,
where do you stack up this top ten at the
running back position?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
You know what I'm I'm with everything you're saying right there.
I think Breese Hall should be second on this list.
He's just so explosive, Mitchell, He's so explosive, And if
you put any kind of pass game around Hi where
the defense has to take eight out of the box,
he's having a field day. I mean, he was averaging
ten yards to carry at points last year. So I again,
I believe in what everybody else believes. If he's healthy
(36:10):
and Aaron's healthy in that past game is what it's
supposed to be. It's gonna be a fun year for
New York Jets. I think Jamiir Gibbs is higher on
that list. I just don't know. Jonathan Taylor is gonna
be great, but it's still so many unknowns. He did
well at times last year, but he was splitting duties,
(36:32):
Like how much does he split duties this year? That's
a big question mark. So I'll have him at five.
I'll put your boy Jamier Gibbs at four. I'll put
Derrick Henry above Saquon just because I think they're gonna
depend on him and lean on him more than Philly's
gonna lean on Saquon. I think they're gonna lean on
(36:54):
on their quarterback a lot more. I think they're gonna
lean on Jalen Hurts, and they're gonna pass the ball,
get it in their playmakers' hands. They're gonna run the
rpo game, but they're not gonna just sit there and
lean and play in and play out on what Sakwan
has to give. I like Hyron Williams at eight. I
think he had a really good breakout season for the
(37:16):
Rams last year. They're gonna he's gonna be even better
this year. Better scheme, better team, more consistent carries. I
think Travis Etn is fantastic, but I think Isaiah P.
Checko gets more carries this year because they jet McKinnon's out,
I mean Jack McKinnon out of the lineup. He took
a lot of his carries, especially in the red zone.
(37:36):
I think with him out, he gets a lot more
of those red zone carries, those two three yard touchdowns,
those screenplays, those flat routes, you know, that'll be four
or five extra touchdown for Isaiah Checko and I think
that moves him up the list this year.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Richard, I like it.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
You know, over the last couple of years, I don't
want to give myself too big of a pad on
the back here, but I've made some preseason call. I
got some sleepers for you that I want your opinion on.
Two years ago it was Tony Pollard. This past year
it was Sam Laporta, you know, and this year in
the running back position. And anyone that plays in the
(38:13):
Fantasy Football with league with me, just please do not
select these guys. These are my late round flyers right now.
Chase Brown for Cincinnati, second year runner out of Illinois,
total the rock a ton at Illinois. You know led
that team to top twenty five showing, which is unheard
of with the Illinois football team. But Richard Joe Mixon
(38:35):
is gone, and I know they brought Zach mosson in Cincinnati,
but this is a guy that catches a lot of
balls out of the backfield. I think he can be
very productive and I think once he gets hot, you
know they he can be in every down back. I
like Chase Brown is a later round flyer right now.
They got them ranked thirty fourth on their list at
Fantasy Pros and the second one I like. And the
(38:57):
only reason I like this is because the team that
he's on really did not do much to address the
running back room is Rico Dowdell with the Dallas Cowboys.
I mean, I know Zeke Elliott's back there. I know
you know that they're going to bring him back as
their number one acquisition, but let's be real, I mean,
Ezekiel Ella, it's not the same.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Runner he was three four years ago.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
I think Rico takes advantage of this opportunity and becomes
kind of this year's Tony Pollard where he's stealing touches,
stealing third round, third third down carries and he's gonna
become somewhat worthwhile in the fantasy football ranks, Richard, your
thoughts on those two, because I gotta be right.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
I one him, Mitchell. I can't lie. I thought about
the Rico Dow situation a little bit, and I just
don't think that's a good situation for anybody. I don't
think he's as good of a receiver out of the
backfield as they're going to need him to be. I
don't think he's every down back, and so I you know,
I'm not as high. But you know, Mitchell, you have
(40:02):
been two for two, so it's very hard to doubt
you right now. So I'm gonna give you these these picks.
I don't have any real late round sleepers or sleeper
picks right now. You gotta go what you know. And
you know, I'm a proven commodity kind of guy, Mitchell.
So we'll get back to your sleeper picks and we'll
check that out a later, pat and see how.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
We're gonna We're gonna keep tabs, there's no question about it.
Let's move on to the wide receiver position. There's a
lot of talent. These guys typically go very high in
draft with the PPR models Richard, who's number one at
your list? Because it could be Cedee Lamb, Tyreek Hill,
Jamar Chase. I mean even I'm on Ross, Saint Brown,
Justin Jefferson. Who do you prioritize number one at receiver
(40:47):
this year?
Speaker 3 (40:51):
I mean, I think you have to, but you know,
it just depends on how this situation pans out for
for Cede Lamb, because that's gonna tell a lot of
the story. If Ceedee Lamb's situation pans out where he
gets paid and he feels comfortable, obviously he's gonna have
to play this year. But I think he's number one
overall right now. They don't have another established two. I
(41:15):
think it's Cooks right now, Polbert, you hear good things
about coming out of training camp. But Ceedee Lamb is
gonna get at least ten to twelve targets a game.
He's gonna be there, go to a third down, red
zone situation, He's gonna get the ball a lot. I
think Tyreek is the same way. But he's gonna get
a lot more attention, and certain teams have found answers
(41:35):
for him. A lot more guys are gonna attempt to
press him. Now they've seen what Lagarius Snead was able
to do in the playoffs. Not that everybody is Lagarious
Sneak and can get that done. But there's some young, hungry, underrated,
little scrappy nickels out there that will get up there
and stand toe to toe with anybody. And I think
they're gonna be more watching that tape with Lagerius Sneed
(41:56):
was able to do and finding answers to things they
didn't have answers too before. Obviously, Jamar Chase in Cincinnati,
he and t Higgins are gonna do a great job.
But you know, a lot of that depends on how
healthy Joe Burrow is throughout this year, what they can
do offensively, losing a little bit of that that coaching firepower,
(42:19):
I guess, losing Joe Mixon. So we'll see justin Jefferson,
you know, without her cousins, her cousins going to Atlanta.
So whoever starts there, whether it's JJ McCarthy or your
boy Mitchell, if if he starts, I mean, Kyle Shanahan
(42:41):
is gonna get I mean he might. They're never gonna
give him Coach of the Year in a situation like this,
But to develop to develop a guy to go start
somewhere else. And I've heard nothing but fantastic things coming
out of the Vikings training camp.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
About Sam Donald or Nick Mullins.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Of course Nick Mullins, Mitchell, Sam Donald, no, no, but
Sam has been throwing dimes. Sam Donald has been throwing dimes.
He's been really efficient. Obviously JJ. I didn't know how
tall JJ McCarthy was. I didn't realize he was. He
was as tall as he is. But there's been positive
raving reviews. Obviously, you get in the game time and
(43:27):
may be totally different. But Kevin O'Connell in that offense
is something that has been productive. Regardless of who's been
that quarterback. They've been able to draw it up for
Justin Jefferson. So I think he's gonna have another great year.
Your boy. I'man ross Saint Brown still is under Ben
Ben Johnson's futelage for another season, another season with Jared Goff,
(43:49):
who's played in really good football. They have such a
great rapport. Sam Laporta is gonna have another great season.
It may take some of the attention off of a'mnraw
you know, usually get paid like that. You can double
team you're getting bracketed over two things like that, but
you're not gonna be able to do that with a
good tight end moving and Jamier gives out the backfield
and creating other matchup issues. I think Garrett Wilson moves
(44:12):
up the list a lot there and plays the whole season.
You know. I think he has a thirteen fourteen hundred
yard season, maybe sixteen touchdowns because if he can develop
the kind of rapport or even I mean fifty percent
of the rapport that a Rod had with Davante Adams,
it's gonna be a fun year for him. Obviously pooking
(44:34):
the cool up. I think he comes back to earth
a little bit this season. Mike Evans is gonna have
a thousand yards. He's He's that's just what happens, you know,
waters wet, the sky's blued. Mike Evans thousand yards. I
think Tyshawn Deebo Samuel is going to have a really
good season, really productive, especially with the Brandon Ayuk news.
(44:57):
They're gonna give him the ball more throwing the ball,
more fine and more on third downs. So I think
that's the list. I feel comfortable with it.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Well, you left off the rookies.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
I mean Marvin Harrison Junior that situation with Kyler's finally
got another number one option for him to throw the
ball to. We'll see what happens there, but I'm gonna
throw a couple other dark horse sleepers your way, Richard.
This situation in Buffalo is a weird one because you
want to talk about a team that's lost a ton
of talent. Josh Allen here, he is the number one
(45:27):
Fantasy ranked quarterback in the league, but everyone's questioning where
he's gonna throw the football. He's obviously got the tight
end Dalton k and Kaid who I really like. I
think he could be a true candidate for T one overall.
But I think Khalil Shakir is gonna have a big
year Richard, that I'm calling it right now.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
This guy is.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
A dark horse sleeper Puka Nakula type version for the
Buffalo Bills. He made a handful of big plays down
the stretch when he was called upon when Stefan Digs
kind of looked checked out out there. Richard, what do
you think about the Buffalo Bills receiving situation?
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Who do you like? Do you like him?
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Do you like Kean Coleman. They got Curtis Samuel. Who's
the guy that's gonna be getting the ball in Buffalo?
Speaker 3 (46:13):
I mean, I think you gotta go with Khalil Sheha
Kor initially, but the way Kean Coleman, I mean, he's
made a lot of headlines outside of the football field,
so hopefully his his game speaks as as well as
he has. But I mean, it's question marks. It's all
question marks. I can say whatever I want, but it's
(46:34):
nothing proven Mitchell. It's not no proven thousand yard receiver,
no proven thousand yard tight end, no proven And that's
the way defenses are gonna treat him. Nobody's gonna give
them respect in that way. They're gonna press them, They're
gonna they're gonna they're gonna plit them. They're gonna put
a lot of pressure on Josh Allen to beat them.
They're not gonna give these receivers Cover two, cloud cover three,
(46:56):
any of these coverages. They're gonna be man pressured a
lot more than they've ever been pressured or zone pressured,
because these guys just haven't shown that they can that
their NFL receivers obviously, Kean hasn't had a chance to.
But you got Marquez Paldev Scantlink who had play certain
plays throughout the season where he looked really good in
Kansas City and then you had plays where he dropped
(47:17):
bombs and so it's it's gonna be. It's a lot
of unknown Obviously, the one known commodity is Josh Allen
and this is his chance to have a Patrick Mahomes
as season. When Patrick Mahoons lost Tyreek Keel and everybody said, hey,
he's done, He's done. Tyreek's done, Tarreek's gone, He's lost
(47:37):
his big weapon. He's not going to have the same
kind of season. And he did. He had an incredible
season and MVP Calibersy, what did he win MVP that year?
I want to say he won MVP that year. We
have to check, but that sounds but I'm pretty sure
he did. But this is a kind of a not
a make it or breaking for Josh Allen, But the
(47:58):
way they speak about him is going to change if
he's not able to have the same success that he
had with Diggs without him. Because Patrick Mahomes continues to
have success, continues to elevate his team, continues to have
Super Bowl success without Tyreek Keel. Can Josh Allen have
that same success without without dating Stefan Diggs to be seen.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
The second one I like.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
My sleeper candidate is a former first round pick playing
for my Detroit Lions, Jamison Williams. Richard has been blowing
up training camp and they are saying he looks faster, stronger,
He's finally healthy the first time going into camp. He's
actually healthy. He dealt with the suspension last year coming
into the season. They lost their number two in Josh Reynolds,
(48:46):
and they really didn't add anyone else to the receiving corps.
They're banking heavily on Jamison Williams. I think, if you're
going to take a flyer in the eighth round in
that territory, Jamison Williams is a guy that could bring
a lot of firepower. Late Richard, your thoughts on Jamo.
You think that he's gonna add an extra dimension to
this Lion's offense.
Speaker 3 (49:07):
No question, no question about it. I mean at times
last year you could see it, You could see him
adding a different dimension just at such an how easily
and how effortlessly he makes it look as fast as
he's going. I think he's gonna be a fantastic addition,
especially if he has a full season, full training camp,
fall all season under his belt. It's gonna be fun
(49:27):
to watch. I think Drake London and Kyle Pitts out
out in Atlanta are gonna be sleepers. If you believe
in Kirk Cousins, then you gotta believe in those two guys,
because Kirk Cousins is going to be productive, and those
two guys will be a lot of the reason he
is productive. Obviously, Bajhon Robinson is going to be another
(49:48):
part of it, but those are at Drake London I
think is gonna kind of sneak into the top ten
at some point or another.
Speaker 2 (49:55):
I like it, man.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
I mean Atlanta players have been tainted so much because
of bad quarterback play over the last three four years.
And this group that you just talked about Pitt's in
London have all the talent in the world, they just
have never had anyone to throw them the football. I
like both of them.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Richard.
Speaker 1 (50:13):
Let's move the tight end. Our friends at Fantasy Pros
have Sam Laporta is the number one tight end in
the league. Your thoughts on this is a Laporta, is
it Kelsey? Is it your guy? George Kittle, Mark Andrews?
Who do you like on this top end tight end
line here?
Speaker 3 (50:31):
Rich? That's tough because there's so many quality tight ends
in this league, Mitchell as there there are so many.
It depends on who you're asking and who you're dealing with,
because you know, Pat Freirmouth out in Pittsburgh is a
guy that was productive at times, really productive Dalton Schultz
(50:53):
in Houston if he didn't have all those freaking receivers
around him as a guy, I would put a lot
of a lot of stock in Las Vegas. You know,
you don't know what they have. You know, DeVante Adams
is gonna get doubled a lot. So does does brock
Powers have a good year? I don't know, maybe, but
I think that Sam Laporta is is in a good
(51:13):
spot at one. Obviously you got to have Travis up there.
He and Patrick. Patrick's gonna find him. He's gonna figure
it out. I don't I don't care how long he
plays when he stops. He has a skill set that
stands the test of time, and we're not going to
disrespect him because he he continues to show he can
be productive and will be productive. Mark Andrews and Baltimore.
(51:36):
We'll see how they do with, you know, with now
Derek Henry bringing the defense up and causing you know,
eight man boxes and things like that. I think George
is gonna again with the Brandon Ayuk Praye potentially happening
at put that puts more passes in George Kettle's hands,
allowing him to be more productive. Kyle Pitts in Atlanta
(51:58):
with with again Kirk Cousins, He's going to be more productive,
get more passes, get more passes in the areas he's
comfortable with Dalton kink without Stefan Diggs, he should be
the number one option out in Buffalo and actually to production.
Jake Ferguson had a really good year in Dallas. I
think he only gets better as they focus more on
(52:19):
Cdee Lamb and trying to stop him. And if Tolbert
or Cooks can really start to put pressure on the defense,
he can find his niche to have an eleven twelve
hundred yard season. Evan Ingram and Jacksonville. I think at
Jacksonville comes down to Earth. I just can't I can't
believe in the kid like that Trevor Lawrence hasn't shown
(52:40):
me enough. And I always say this, but he just hasn't.
You know. That's you know, well, we'll talk about that
when we talk about how everybody got paid this offseason,
because that was a head scratcher for me. But I
think he's going to continue to be productive. David and
Joe Cool was productive regardless of who was that quarterback
for Cleveland last year, so I think that continues.

Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. Back for another year.
I'm sorry for the hiatus, but we're ready for an
incredible twenty twenty four twenty twenty five season. Mitchell, how
have you been?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Richard?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
We are back. I could not be better. I'm not
more excited. The Lions are in training camp. Everyone's fired
up in Detroit. I know everyone's fired up in Seattle,
but there I want to talk to you about the
news out of San Francisco, out west by you Richard,
there's a little bit of turmoil brewing in camp right
now without Brandon Ayuk there. We just call it a word
(02:39):
that the Niners have allowed him to seek a potential
trade partner.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Richard, what do you seek?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Humming of this Brandon Ayuk situation in San francis mis
right now?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I got to put my Niners thinking cap on Mitchell
because it's it's it's such a weird situation because we
all intends to purposes. Both sides have done everything you
want in this relationship. They've had team success, Brandon Ayuk
has had individuals success. They drafted him in the first round.
(03:11):
He's done everything you expect a first round receiver to do.
Been very productive, coming off his most productive year with
multiple quarterbacks, been relatively healthy throughout the most of his career.
You can't be mad at him if you're the forty
nine ers, and if you're him, you really can't be
mad at the forty nine ers that gave you a
legitimate chance on the championship contending team for your entire career.
(03:34):
It's been a magnificent career so far, but it just
doesn't seem like it's gonna have that happy ending. It's
gonna have one of those endings that just leaves a
bad taste in everybody's mouth, and it's nobody's fault. Brandon
did everything he's supposed to do. He played well. He's
a great teammate, great person, great individual, great Everything San
(03:57):
Francisco has done right by him. Been a good organization,
but good teammates around him, kept great structure, not a
lot of volatility in terms of the coaching staff or
the front office. It's been pretty consistent from both sides.
But at the end of the day, we knew this
point would come for the San Francisco forty nine ers.
You can't pay everyone, and you've already paid Nicholas John Boss.
(04:21):
You've played, You've paid Depot, You've paid Christian McCaffrey again.
You paid George Kittle, you paid Trent who's back at
the table for a little bit more off of it.
You paid Tarvarius Ward, who you got from the Kansas
City Chief. You paid all pro Fred Warner, you prayed
Drake Greendal. They have done everything they can to keep
this incredible team together, Mitchell, but I just don't see
(04:45):
it working out in a way that Brandon is happy
and the forty nine ers are happy either way. If
he leaves, they're both gonna be unhappy. If he stays,
I think they're both happier than if he leaves. But
if if he leaves, he likely gets the most money
he could possibly get. He likely gets his thirty million
dollars that he's seeking. He gets treated like a number
(05:06):
of true number one receiver. He gets targeted that way,
he gets game planned that way, he gets all the
claim that comes with being a number one receiver. But
it's likely are a less competitive team. It's a less
competitive quarterback situation, it's a less competitive offensive structure and
stability in terms of just having a championship culture that
(05:29):
you're used to. So I think at the end he'll
get that. I mean, last I heard last news that
was breaking was it was between New England and Cleveland.
Those are the offers that San Francisco forty nine ers
felt were viable for them to trade Brandon Ayu and
they leave, They're leaving the ball in his court to
make a decision based on those teams. But Mitchell, I'm
(05:51):
not I don't know if I'm taking either one of
those options. And for the San Francisco forty nine ers.
I don't think either one of those options give you
what you give you help right now, you know, unless
you're getting Matthew Judon and you know, I hearing Kendrick
Bourne coming back to San Francisco, which would be fine
if you said Matthew Judon Kendrick Bourne in the second
round pick. I think San Francisco would take it, you know.
(06:14):
But if you're not saying something like that, I don't
I don't really see it working out. And that really
doesn't feel the void that that Brandon Ayuk would create.
You know, you'd have to feel that by committee. You
obviously the rookie parasol is gonna have to do as part,
Debo is gonna have to do a lot more. Kittle's
gonna have to be relied upon. There's only one ball
to go around for all these playmakers, so you know,
it's kind of addition by subtraction because you just put
(06:36):
weight on all the rest of these shoulders. But for Brandon,
how well do you fit in New England? You know,
obviously it's a new coaching staff. This isn't a Belichick regime.
This is a new new regime, a new culture, a
new everything. But it's still a young quarterback, a lot
of unknowns there, a new offense, unknowns there, instability at
offensive line for New England. I don't know. Then you
(06:59):
go to Cleveland situation and I'm hearing that it could
be a mari Cooper and some picks, which which I
just again, he fits in some ways to Shanahan's offense,
but in other ways he doesn't, you know, I mean
Shanahan brand Nay, You've blocks his butt off every single play, Mental,
I mean, you've seen viral clips of him blocking sixty
seventy yards down the field against the Pittsburgh Steelers in
(07:22):
numerous other games, and that's just the culture in San Francisco.
You know, that's something that Mariy Cooper would have to
adjust to. I don't you know, no, no offense to him.
I don't remember ever seeing a clip from Mariy Cooper
blocking sixty yards down the field. Mental, And again, how
much does that help you right now in San Francisco
with the adjustment, you know, some of the injury history
with Amary, some of the other concerns that that that
(07:45):
teams have had over the years. I just you know it,
it's just one of those situations where I don't think
anybody feels great about it right now. You know, I
think he should be in San Francisco. I think both
sides feel better if he was in San Francisco. It
just doesn't seem like it's gonna work out that way.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Well, Richard, San Francisco has been knocking on the door
of the Super Bowl for the last five years, you know,
and let's not sugarcoat things. Without Brandon Ayuk, this offense
is different. And as you said, you know, it's a
good problem to have. I guess you have a surplus
of elite level talent. I mean, most top one hundred
players in the league. I believe they got nine on
(08:23):
the on their their roster right now, which is unbelievable,
and ultimately cap space is gonna eventually become an issue.
Brandon Ayuk is a part of this puzzle that makes
the offense go round. You know, you saw this team
without Deebo Samuel last year a man, and imagine that
without their deep threat, they're gonna be leaning heavily on
the rookie and then Richard around the corner. What we
(08:46):
see next year? This lotto ticket they got in brock
Purty they're gonna have to pay it. We just saw
Brandon or Jordan love get two hundred and twenty million,
two hundred and twelve point four, Trevor Lawrence five for
two seventy five, and Jared Goff four for two twelve.
I mean, Richard, we're gonna be looking in the fifty
(09:08):
a year market for a guy named Brock Purty. What's
next for this team? Is this the beginning of the
end of this championship window for the San Francisco forty
nine ers.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It was already there, Mitchell. The writing was already on
the wall. Last year they made another Super Bowl run,
and I think they'll have a chance to make it,
you know. I think they'll need a little bit more
luck this year, the balls to balance their way to
make it again. But they still have an incredibly talented team,
as you can see by by the nine players on
the top one hundred list. But you have to make
(09:43):
a decision somewhere. There has to be some give and
take somewhere, And it looks like the they're gonna they're
the the fact that they shave is going to be
Brandon Ayuk and they're going to try to make it
up in other ways. But again, like you just said,
Brock Perdy is gonna need fifty Mitchell, it's gonna be
closer to sixty million dollars. If you're paying Trevor Lawrence
fifty five million without a lot of playoffs success, Mitchell,
(10:04):
all you're basing that off of his projections because he
has not won in this league. And so if you're
playing guys like that, then a guy like Brod Perdy,
just like Brandon Ayuk, when he saw guys get paid
thirty million, he saw your guy, I'm on Ross, Ain't
Brown get thirty two. He saw Justin Jefferson get paid
thirty His number was only like twenty seven Mitchell, twenty seven,
twenty eight. You know, they're flirting with that. But once
(10:26):
those numbers came down, his number increased, he's saying, hey,
I'm one of those guys. I can be as productive
as those men are in that situation. Sometimes you're handicapped
by the situation you're in at In some games, Mitchell,
he's the fourth option. Some games he's the first option.
You know, depending on how the game shakes out. It
maybe Christian McCaffrey's day, maybe George Kittle's day, maybe Deep o'
(10:47):
samuel's day, Mitchell Art might be Brandon Ayuk's day. You
never know. I mean, in the Super Bowl it was
not any of their days. It looked like Juwan Jennings day,
you know. And then an offense that's spreads the ball
that much, it's really tough to justify paying somebody thirty
plus million. And I know that's what San Francisco forty
nine ers are up against. But that's not Brandon Ayuk's problem.
(11:10):
That's not his problem. He's saying, Hey, I'm productive, I'm
one of the best out there. You're gonna pay me
like one of the best out there, whether you use
me that way or not. That's what my talent says,
that's what my production says, and I respect that. Mitchell. Again,
I'm not mad at either side. I just don't feel
like either side's gonna end up happy with the way
this goes. I feel like this is a bit of
(11:31):
a lose lose situation for both sides. In what has
been an incredible relationship between San Francisco forty nine ers
and Brandon Ayuk. I just.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Well, Richard, let's stay in the NFC West and let's
go to your home, Seattle. The Seattle Seahawks got a
new head coach. We've talked about that, you know, our
in our offseason episodes. Mike McDonald, What have you heard?
I mean, what has changed culturally? Has anything changed in Seattle?
Like what your expectations going into the preseason games here
(12:03):
with Seattle?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Well, look again, Metroll, let me change my thinking camp
and put my Seattle thinking cap on. It's a lot
of excitement in Seattle right now, Mitchell. I don't know
if the fans are hearing it. I don't know if
they're seeing it in training camp. But everything I'm hearing
from the players, the staff, everybody in the building is
this defense that Mike McDonald has come up with is
(12:27):
an issue, and he's putting guys in positions. Guys are
are thriving in this system. There is a lot of
chaos being created.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Offensively, they're still figuring it out. But I mean, Gino
Smith looks really good. DK looks good. I think the
JSN looks really good. Tyler looks good. K nine, your
boy looks ready, rare it up to go for another
incredible season. That offensive line looks healthy as ever. So
there's a lot of excitement. Mitro. There's gonna be some
(12:58):
some fantasy football ranks that that change defensively based on
some insider information. But we're gonna get to that later on.
But I think there's gonna there's gonna be some heads turned,
you know, the first few games, uh Seattle plays, especially defensively.
I think people people are still on the fence about Geno.
But Gino's a guy unless as I give he's a guy.
(13:20):
He's a guy, and I'm gonna go with that. You
can judge him off his first ten years and you
know how up and down that went, or you can
judge him off the last couple. I'm gonna judge him
off the last couple because he's been a guy, went healthy,
he's playing at a really high level. He looks great
in training camp. He's dialed in as he's ever been.
DK looks great, ready for a breakout season. They have
(13:41):
all the pieces in place to make an incredible running
If that defense plays like they've been playing practicing, well,
there's gonna be some some uh some changings, uh changing
of the guards in some areas of this National Football League.
But I think there's a lot to be excited about obviously,
you know, it's first time coordinators in the National Football League.
(14:03):
That's always tough. That's always you know, a mystery how
that's going to go, How you deal with the trials
and tribulations. These aren't college kids. These aren't kids you
could just say, hey, go over here and jump up
through this hoop. You know, you got these are grown men.
You got to talk to them differently, got to coach
them differently. And it's an adjustment dealing with that in
the chaos of a real game. And I think that's
going to be a bit of an adjustment for for
(14:25):
all this, this entire staff. Mike McDonald has never been
a head coach. But in terms of everything I've heard
and everything they could put on tape and could do
to inspire a fan base and inspire a team, Mitchell,
they have done it. They have done it. They are
rare to go. You know. Obviously, you know they did
the whole picture takedown thing of the hallway walking towards
(14:46):
the team meetings, and then they did the whole uh
change back and forth and stand in front of the
tip picture during the draft. You know, obviously, John Snyder
and Mike have a sense of humor. But it's been
really positive over there, and I'm heading to a training
cramp practice later on this week to check them out
live again. But Seattle fans got a lot to be
(15:07):
excited about right now. Hopefully it pans out how it
how it looks, and how it sounds right now, Mitchell,
But really positive.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Like you said, Richard, last season, you saw glimpses they
just couldn't stay healthy. The old line was beat up,
but they got all the weapons. K nine looks to
be in shape, are rare and ready to go. If
Gino can stay healthy with this wide receiving corps, who
knows they might be able to knock out San Francisco
and take over the NFC West. It's going to be
a challenge, Richard. Let's go down to Texas well.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
One more second, Mitchell, because because they there's been so much,
so many pieces that they got on the defense that
you really don't appreciate it. It's just like uh in
in in Baltimore. You know, there were guys that had
career years that that weren't expected to have career years.
Now you got really proven players. Jared Rea is really
(16:00):
revved up to have an incredible year. I think he's
gonna do a great job. Tarik Wooling has been having
an incredible camp. I think this team has all the
playmakers that they need defensively. The defensive line is really
really incredible. Let me go down the list, because I
thought it was an embarrassment of riches when they got
(16:22):
some of these guys and then they drafted a guy
in the first round. I was like, oh, that just
seems a bit much. Because you got Leonard Williams, you
got Jared Reed, you got Draymont Jones, who they paid
a ton of money for. You got your Chinna Nuosu,
who's back after coming off an injury. You got Byron
(16:43):
Murphy who he took in the first round. That's a
lot of money. That's a lot they got invested on
the D line. So I don't want to hear anything
about they're not investing in the D line or how
they're gonna stop the run. They got D lineman. They
have a ton of D linemen that better show up
and better play big this year. Devin Witherspoon is probably
the best player on this defense right now, with how
(17:04):
he played last season. Very pissed off that he didn't
make the top one hundred, which is I just odd.
I just didn't get that. I mean, I thought he
would make it, but sometimes when you're young. He was
a top five pick though, so usually you get top
five respect But I think this team has got everything,
but they need their big time players to play big,
and so they need these guys to play big. I
(17:25):
don't know what's going on with Byron Murphy. I have
not heard a ton about him outside of some off
the field stuff, some nonsense, but I haven't heard a
lot of big splash from his training camp. So hopefully
he does something in the preseason to get these fans excited.
But right now, he's not even a starter on the
depth chart, which isn't anything to be upset about because
(17:45):
you got big time players in Jaron Reid who's played
football for a long time and played some great football,
and Leonard Williams. Those guys. Those guys are foundational pieces
to this organization. But you kind of left your left
scratch your head where does he fit in?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Then?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
You know that's one of the things that the questions
that are going to have to get answered over the
next couple of weeks of why'd you draft this kid?
When you just paid all this money for Draymont Jones,
Jaron Reed, Leonard Williams, and then you draft a kid
that is going to back these guys up. I don't know, well.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Depth in the trench is Richard, if you can build
that D line like you said with Witherspoon and Riek
wooland I mean, that defense looks like they have the
potential to be a very good defense in this NFL. Richard,
you talked about the NFL Top one hundred. I'm just
curious here Tyreek Hill goes number one, Patrick Mahomes number four.
How in the world is Patrick Mahomes? And then I
(18:41):
see that Aaron Rodgers makes the list after playing what
five snaps Your thoughts on the NFL's Top one hundred.
I know you appeared high up in that list several times.
What do you make of this year's list.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I don't know, Mitchell, I don't know what you're doing.
I don't know what they're doing with this one. For
Tyreek to go one. You know, at times during the
season you could you could say that, you say, man,
he looked unbelievable. But maybe at two or three, you know,
and you can make a case for Lamar Jackson being
two or three, you know, MVP of the league. But
(19:15):
when a guy or the third season cruises his team
through then gets into the playoffs, tears apart three of
the best teams in the National Football League. It wasn't
like he didn't have Murderers Row. He had Murderers Row.
He had to go through a gauntlet to get there,
and everybody's it. He gets through this one. You got
to give him credit because that at Baltimore defense and
(19:37):
Mike McDonald, they were tearing everybody apart. You know, it
was a big, huge headline when they had that game
against San Francisco forty nine ers with the five turnovers,
the touchdowns, they just disrupted that team. Went to San Francisco,
beat the brakes off of them, came back and put
the league on notice. And here come Patrick Mahomes in
the playoffs. All that defense is cool, but Kansas City's
(20:01):
defense showed up. They're offense scored seventeen, just enough to
win it. But in the playoffs in the Super Bowl,
he did more than enough to beat the San Francisco
forty nine ers, kept them in that game, made some
fantastic players down the stretch, won the game in overtime.
I just don't see how you can put him anywhere
but first and making a legit legit case. I mean,
(20:23):
you're losing credibility here. You're losing credibility. If this guy
is four, you're losing credibility because in the playoffs when
it mattered most, that's pretty much where a lot of
these things are judged like because that's the last football
you see. So if you're judging things off the regular season,
I guess I could see it being the ranked the
way it is. But if you're ranking it with the
(20:45):
full breath, the full scope of everything you got to
offer and everything we saw last season from preseason football
to the end of the Super Bowl, you can't put
him four, Mitchel. You can't. You can't. That's disgusting, discredit
to the list. That's discrediting your list and what you
guys have done. Because Rieke wasn't one. He wasn't one
(21:08):
you He got bullied by Lagerius Sneed in the playoffs
he got he got bullied in a big way in
the biggest game he got. He came back to Kansas City,
could have had a huge impact on that game. They
singled him up, they doubled him, but at the end
of the day you saw him getting pressed to the
ground a few times in the playoffs. You can't be one.
You can't be one, Mitchell. I'm sorry, Like you could
(21:29):
be two, three, but you can't be one after that.
And and if you put those things, if you put
all of that into your calculation, then I don't know
how you do that. Trent Williams. I understand he probably
could have been a little lower. Be'st left tackling football
about to get paid again. That's why he's not practicing
him playing right now, because you know, hey, I'm thirty six,
(21:51):
but there's more money to be gotten and if I'm
gonna get it at the end, I'm gonna get it
at the end. But there's not many people arguing that
he doesn't deserve it. If you look at the rankings
with where they put Brandon Ay, I thought that was
incredibly though at sixty six, I said, wow, sheesh, I
know they don't have that. They got to hire a
bit of respect for what BA put on tape, But yeah,
(22:12):
I didn't like.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Well the fact that Patrick Mahomes appears at four and
Aaron Rodgers even appears on this list discredits this list
beyond measure in my opinion, Richard, I mean, there's so
many other players that deserve to be on the top
one hundred. If you're out for the season one series
into the game, I'm sorry, but you probably shouldn't be
on the list, you know. But we can save that
(22:33):
for another day, Richard. I want to talk a little
bit about Dallas. They have seemingly lost this offseason. If
there is a loser of the offseason, you got to
give it to the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
We've seen it.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And I don't want to brag about my hometown Detroit Lions,
but I want to use them at least as an
example here. The Lions are stacked with young talent. They've
had guys on their roster they said they wanted to
take care of and they took care of him early.
They paid Penney Sewel when he's got two years left
on his rookie deal. And then you see Tristan Wurf's
get paid more than them a month later. They paid
(23:07):
paid amn raw top dollar. Then we see Aj Brown,
Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, inevitably, you know Brandon Ayu. You
get ahead of the curve. You see Jared Goff get
paid two twelve. Then we see Trevor Lawrence get paid more,
Tua get paid more, Jordan Love get paid more.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
When you're ahead of the.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Curve like the Lions were, you don't have to deal
with what Ceedee Lamb wants now at thirty five million.
If they would have paid him last year, he probably
would have made away with twenty eight thirty million. They've
done this year after year after year, and now Dak
wants his payment. You know, then they're gonna have to
pay Michael Parsons and Dexter Lawrence and all these guys. Richard,
(23:46):
how much did they fumble this offseason?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
In your opinion, I.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Mean as big of a fumble as there has ever been, Mitchell.
This is this is a disastrous level of front office management,
of player management, roster management, whatever you want to put it.
Because and some of it is a front office some
of it is Jerry's expectations and the things that he said.
(24:15):
If he didn't say anything, you don't expect anything, and
I guess you still expect something, but you don't expect
him to go all in when you say we're all
in this off season and you don't pay any of
your high profile guys, You don't pay any of the
best players that are on your team. And it's like,
all in, I mean, are you saying that if we
don't win this season, we're blowing the whole thing up
(24:35):
and you're getting rid of your best players. Because I've
never seen that work in this league. I have never
ever seen that work where you go into a season
instead of paying your best guys, you let them all walk,
and you start all over, starting from the quarterback, because
you have foundational players that foundational spots that have to
get paid. You have CD Lamb who's, like you just said,
(24:58):
it's thirty five million dollars likely. You have Micah Parsons,
who's likely again thirty three thirty four million dollars a year.
And it's because you waited, because you did this because
of patience, or hey, you think you know better, or
you're you're waiting for him to get injured, or you
took a gamble and you lost. They're winning this game.
Players are winning this gamble right now. Dak Prescott is
(25:20):
winning this game. And for everybody and anybody who's saying
Dak Prescott doesn't deserve sixty million dollars and how can
they pay Dak Prescott. Please please take a little bit
of time out your day go to the playoff standings
for every single quarterback that you think deserves more money
(25:40):
than him, and see what they are. See how many
games they've won in these good playoffs that that everybody
puts Dak on the pedit they killed Dak about it? Hey,
Jack doesn't win in the playoffs, none of them do.
Patrick's the only one who's been winning as of late.
Last couple of Super Bowl winners or what Patrick on Stafford,
(26:01):
I think those are the last for the last four
or five years. Those are the quarterbacks that have won them.
Are any of your favorite quarterbacks on that list? They're not,
so they didn't win it, so they're not winning. So
every quarterback that you put on these lists, like, man,
he's better than Dak, he deserves more than Dak. He
deserves he probably doesn't. Dak was second team All Pro
last year. Honestly had an MVP caliber season, and I
(26:25):
thought it should have deserved more consideration. But that's a
story for a different day. But it's almost like more
people are saying they need to get rid of Dak
Prescott more like more people are saying, like at the
best season of his career, and now y'all say and
get rid of him because they got put out of
the playoffs, Like that defense didn't let let Jordan Love
(26:48):
have a field day. Like, oh man, it was all
Dak Prescott. He don't play offense in defense, Ladies and gentlemen,
he does not. And obviously, you guys know, I'm not
the biggest Cowboys fan in the world at all, but
I'm not gonna let nobody sit here and tell play
me like a fool. And clearly, if you believed in
your guys, you would pay them. If you're a if
(27:10):
you're a good organization, like you said Mitchell Detroit is
creating a good organization a great culture. Hey, you earn
your money, We pay you your money. We keep homegrown.
CD Mike are home grown. Dak is home grown, and
you're not paying them. What message are you sending to
the rest of the team. Hey, if you play like
(27:31):
a superstar for our team, we're gonna make you play
a whole contract out and we still might not pay you.
Is that the message that you want? That's a winning culture.
It's not it's not a winning culture, and I don't
understand it. I don't even understand what you're thinking, what
the logic is. I can't even find us a silver
lining to be like, well, maybe they're thinking about this.
It's like, hey, we want the price on all these
(27:53):
guys to be as high as possible, and then we're
gonna pay it, or then you're not gonna pay it,
and somebody else is gonna pay it, and you're gonna
lose them all free and get what a third rounder.
It's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It's colossal mismanagement this offseason, Richard. I'm very interested to
see what happens to them going into next season and
the season thereafter and how this roster shakes out.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Richard.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I want to start talking a little bit more about
something we really haven't talked a whole lot about, and
that's fantasy football. Shout out to our partner Fantasy Pros.
You know, they gave us a little fantasy cheat sheet
that we got. You can check them out for all
your fantasy sports needs. I know it's fantasy draft season
for all you guys.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Richard.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
I gotta get your take on this year's landscape. Let's
go through the top ten at each spot, you know,
top ten QB, wide receiver, tight end, you know, give
me some of your sleepers along the way. Richard, let's
start with the qbs. Who do you like going into
this year's fantasy football season?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Well, I think in a quarter with the quarterbacks, you
gotta start with Josh Allen. I mean his production is undeniable. Obviously,
the turnovers are something in that that believes you just
catching your head. But in terms of fantasy he's got
to be number one on the list. Mitchell. I think
he had what do you have? Forty forty two, forty
three touchdowns last year?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He dominated?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
He dominated. Jalen Hurt's got to be next on the list.
I think he's going to be incredibly productive. He's looking
healthy faster than ever. It looks like that knee injury
that was nagging him last season has gotten healed up.
He looks as good as he's ever looked. And he
has two big time receivers in All Day always Open
aj Brown. Of course, I mean that that receiving core
(29:33):
is gonna be as good as it gets, I think.
I I mean, they're both over twenty million. Whatether they
getting as getting thirty plus thirty right, AJ's getting thirty plus,
and let's see, I think he's getting twenty Demonte is
(29:56):
getting twenty five. So you got fifty seven a million
dollars a year invested in the receiving corps. I think
they better be productive, Mitchey and I think they're going
to be Obviously. Patrick Mahomes has got to be on
this list with his new weapons, but he's losing Jerick McKinnon.
But I think he's gonna be as productive. As long
as Travis Kelsey's there. His production isn't gonna dip. He
(30:19):
got his deep threat, he got his new deep threat.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
He got a couple of deep threats right right, right,
right right, Nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
But speedsters on that line up now, nothing but speed
where Shee Rice should be.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Hopefully, you know, he gets over his legal issues and
he'll be really good. That offensive line is going to
be even better this year, even healthier. Xavier Worthy looks.
I mean, every time you look up and see a
highlight of him, he's freaking running down the field by himself,
and of course Patrick can get it there. I think fourth,
you got Lamar Jackson coming off MVP season, is going
(30:56):
to be production I think he's gonna have to He's
not gonna need to be espertive because they got Derreck
Henry now, and he can just turn the ball, handed
it off to Derrick Henry fifteen to twenty times a game,
maybe more in certain situation, and take some of the
load off of his back and put it on somebody else.
I think CJ. Stroud is the next one on my list.
(31:18):
That I mean, he's a guy, he's a guy. He's
a guy, and he's gonna be more predictive. With Diggs, Nicocollins,
Hank Dlle coming back healthy. I mean, these guys, it's
gonna be a fun watch. I'm excited to watch that.
They you know, they got Anthony Richardson in there. I
(31:39):
just don't know. There's too many unknowns for me right now.
Anytime a kid is spending his days dipping his shoulder
in the National Football League and he plays quarterback, I
don't expect his career to go great. I don't unless
he changes that this year and that'll change his fantasy outlook.
Because he had rushing touchdowns this year. He's gonna have
to throw the football a lot more and stop putting
his body in arms way, and I think that lowers
(32:02):
his fantasy value. So I'm gonna take him out of
my top ten. Put CJ. Stroud up. I'll accept Tyler
being at ten, not gonna accept him being at seven
because I just I don't think they have enough offensive weapons.
I don't think the offensive line is there. I think
they are gonna run the ball.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Well.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
They did it last year and that's when they had
the most success as a team is when they ran
the football. I think Joe Burrow has to be there
because he Jamar Chase. I mean, they lose Joe Mixon,
but they're still gonna be a team to be reckon
with Dak Prescott of course needs to be there in
Brock Purdy regardless of how all this shakes out, He's
(32:41):
gonna spread the ball around as he has in training camp.
He's gonna have an abundance of playmakers to get the
ball to, and they're gonna make make him look good
whether he's throwing five yard passes or fifty yard passes.
So I think you got to put him in there.
And honorable mention alight eleven. You gotta put Jordan Love
because I think he's making those receivers really good, and
they were really great when they were young, and they're
(33:02):
gonna be even better this year.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Richard, Quarterbacks one of those positions you can generally wait
later in the draft to peck, unless you want a
guy like a Josh Allen or Jalen Hurtz. We've seen
it in years past, you know, not too often, but
looking back to Cam Newton's rookie year, he took over
the fantasy football world, probably one undrafted in most drafts,
one late rounds. Do you think there's a quarterback in
(33:27):
this rookie prop that could have a similar season. I mean,
we got Jaden Daniels, as I got Wheels, you know,
Caleb Williams. You know, here's this highly touted guy out
of USC with a ton of options for the Bears.
Do you like either of those quarterbacks? You think that
they could make a CJ. Stroud like effect in the
fantasy football world?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
No, no, no, I It's unfair to compare anything to
a kid like c J. It was so rare. You know,
even if great quarterbacks don't have rookie years like that.
I mean, we can, we can go down the list,
but I think think Taylor has a chance to be
really productive just because of what they put around him offensively,
they put a lot of veteran well that he has
(34:08):
two veteran receivers, and he I mean, you can't really
beat that. Keenan Allen gets open in the phone booth,
and he's been really good for a long time. So
you expect him to be productive rome a doonsday they drafted.
I think he'll be really productive. I think he's gonna
be a big time receiver. And I thought he would
(34:29):
would go higher than what he did in this draft.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
And then they got DJ Moore, I mean, and then
they got DJ Moore. I could not think of Dj
Moore from my life.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah. DJ Moore was really productive last year, turning a
lot into I mean a little bit into a lot
with with less than adequate quarterback play. So I think,
you know, I think he could. He's set up for success,
but the expectations may be too much. He was kind
of violent at USC, especially against higher caliber. You know,
go look at the Utah games, the Oregon games, the
(35:04):
Washington games. They just didn't he didn't look like the
same guy he did against the other teams. So we'll see.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Though I don't want to bring weather into this, but
generally fantasy football playoffs or later in the season when
you've got a guy playing outside in the Windy City,
those unpredictability of the weather can play a huge role
down the stretch. Richard, Let's bring it over to the
running backs. I know you love the guy on top
of this list, Christian McCaffrey, but you know who's slots
(35:33):
in it behind him. Everyone loves Brece Hall now that
Aaron Rodgers is there, but and you look at last
year's rookies, but John Robinson and Jamier Gibbs. My guy, like,
where do you stack up this top ten at the
running back position?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
You know what I'm I'm with everything you're saying right there.
I think Breese Hall should be second on this list.
He's just so explosive, Mitchell, He's so explosive, And if
you put any kind of pass game around Hi where
the defense has to take eight out of the box,
he's having a field day. I mean, he was averaging
ten yards to carry at points last year. So I again,
I believe in what everybody else believes. If he's healthy
(36:10):
and Aaron's healthy in that past game is what it's
supposed to be. It's gonna be a fun year for
New York Jets. I think Jamiir Gibbs is higher on
that list. I just don't know. Jonathan Taylor is gonna
be great, but it's still so many unknowns. He did
well at times last year, but he was splitting duties,
(36:32):
Like how much does he split duties this year? That's
a big question mark. So I'll have him at five.
I'll put your boy Jamier Gibbs at four. I'll put
Derrick Henry above Saquon just because I think they're gonna
depend on him and lean on him more than Philly's
gonna lean on Saquon. I think they're gonna lean on
(36:54):
on their quarterback a lot more. I think they're gonna
lean on Jalen Hurts, and they're gonna pass the ball,
get it in their playmakers' hands. They're gonna run the
rpo game, but they're not gonna just sit there and
lean and play in and play out on what Sakwan
has to give. I like Hyron Williams at eight. I
think he had a really good breakout season for the
(37:16):
Rams last year. They're gonna he's gonna be even better
this year. Better scheme, better team, more consistent carries. I
think Travis Etn is fantastic, but I think Isaiah P.
Checko gets more carries this year because they jet McKinnon's out,
I mean Jack McKinnon out of the lineup. He took
a lot of his carries, especially in the red zone.
(37:36):
I think with him out, he gets a lot more
of those red zone carries, those two three yard touchdowns,
those screenplays, those flat routes, you know, that'll be four
or five extra touchdown for Isaiah Checko and I think
that moves him up the list this year.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Richard, I like it.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
You know, over the last couple of years, I don't
want to give myself too big of a pad on
the back here, but I've made some preseason call. I
got some sleepers for you that I want your opinion on.
Two years ago it was Tony Pollard. This past year
it was Sam Laporta, you know, and this year in
the running back position. And anyone that plays in the
(38:13):
Fantasy Football with league with me, just please do not
select these guys. These are my late round flyers right now.
Chase Brown for Cincinnati, second year runner out of Illinois,
total the rock a ton at Illinois. You know led
that team to top twenty five showing, which is unheard
of with the Illinois football team. But Richard Joe Mixon
(38:35):
is gone, and I know they brought Zach mosson in Cincinnati,
but this is a guy that catches a lot of
balls out of the backfield. I think he can be
very productive and I think once he gets hot, you
know they he can be in every down back. I
like Chase Brown is a later round flyer right now.
They got them ranked thirty fourth on their list at
Fantasy Pros and the second one I like. And the
(38:57):
only reason I like this is because the team that
he's on really did not do much to address the
running back room is Rico Dowdell with the Dallas Cowboys.
I mean, I know Zeke Elliott's back there. I know
you know that they're going to bring him back as
their number one acquisition, but let's be real, I mean,
Ezekiel Ella, it's not the same.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Runner he was three four years ago.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
I think Rico takes advantage of this opportunity and becomes
kind of this year's Tony Pollard where he's stealing touches,
stealing third round, third third down carries and he's gonna
become somewhat worthwhile in the fantasy football ranks, Richard, your
thoughts on those two, because I gotta be right.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
I one him, Mitchell. I can't lie. I thought about
the Rico Dow situation a little bit, and I just
don't think that's a good situation for anybody. I don't
think he's as good of a receiver out of the
backfield as they're going to need him to be. I
don't think he's every down back, and so I you know,
I'm not as high. But you know, Mitchell, you have
(40:02):
been two for two, so it's very hard to doubt
you right now. So I'm gonna give you these these picks.
I don't have any real late round sleepers or sleeper
picks right now. You gotta go what you know. And
you know, I'm a proven commodity kind of guy, Mitchell.
So we'll get back to your sleeper picks and we'll
check that out a later, pat and see how.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
We're gonna We're gonna keep tabs, there's no question about it.
Let's move on to the wide receiver position. There's a
lot of talent. These guys typically go very high in
draft with the PPR models Richard, who's number one at
your list? Because it could be Cedee Lamb, Tyreek Hill,
Jamar Chase. I mean even I'm on Ross, Saint Brown,
Justin Jefferson. Who do you prioritize number one at receiver
(40:47):
this year?
Speaker 3 (40:51):
I mean, I think you have to, but you know,
it just depends on how this situation pans out for
for Cede Lamb, because that's gonna tell a lot of
the story. If Ceedee Lamb's situation pans out where he
gets paid and he feels comfortable, obviously he's gonna have
to play this year. But I think he's number one
overall right now. They don't have another established two. I
(41:15):
think it's Cooks right now, Polbert, you hear good things
about coming out of training camp. But Ceedee Lamb is
gonna get at least ten to twelve targets a game.
He's gonna be there, go to a third down, red
zone situation, He's gonna get the ball a lot. I
think Tyreek is the same way. But he's gonna get
a lot more attention, and certain teams have found answers
(41:35):
for him. A lot more guys are gonna attempt to
press him. Now they've seen what Lagarius Snead was able
to do in the playoffs. Not that everybody is Lagarious
Sneak and can get that done. But there's some young, hungry, underrated,
little scrappy nickels out there that will get up there
and stand toe to toe with anybody. And I think
they're gonna be more watching that tape with Lagerius Sneed
(41:56):
was able to do and finding answers to things they
didn't have answers too before. Obviously, Jamar Chase in Cincinnati,
he and t Higgins are gonna do a great job.
But you know, a lot of that depends on how
healthy Joe Burrow is throughout this year, what they can
do offensively, losing a little bit of that that coaching firepower,
(42:19):
I guess, losing Joe Mixon. So we'll see justin Jefferson,
you know, without her cousins, her cousins going to Atlanta.
So whoever starts there, whether it's JJ McCarthy or your
boy Mitchell, if if he starts, I mean, Kyle Shanahan
(42:41):
is gonna get I mean he might. They're never gonna
give him Coach of the Year in a situation like this,
But to develop to develop a guy to go start
somewhere else. And I've heard nothing but fantastic things coming
out of the Vikings training camp.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
About Sam Donald or Nick Mullins.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Of course Nick Mullins, Mitchell, Sam Donald, no, no, but
Sam has been throwing dimes. Sam Donald has been throwing dimes.
He's been really efficient. Obviously JJ. I didn't know how
tall JJ McCarthy was. I didn't realize he was. He
was as tall as he is. But there's been positive
raving reviews. Obviously, you get in the game time and
(43:27):
may be totally different. But Kevin O'Connell in that offense
is something that has been productive. Regardless of who's been
that quarterback. They've been able to draw it up for
Justin Jefferson. So I think he's gonna have another great year.
Your boy. I'man ross Saint Brown still is under Ben
Ben Johnson's futelage for another season, another season with Jared Goff,
(43:49):
who's played in really good football. They have such a
great rapport. Sam Laporta is gonna have another great season.
It may take some of the attention off of a'mnraw
you know, usually get paid like that. You can double
team you're getting bracketed over two things like that, but
you're not gonna be able to do that with a
good tight end moving and Jamier gives out the backfield
and creating other matchup issues. I think Garrett Wilson moves
(44:12):
up the list a lot there and plays the whole season.
You know. I think he has a thirteen fourteen hundred
yard season, maybe sixteen touchdowns because if he can develop
the kind of rapport or even I mean fifty percent
of the rapport that a Rod had with Davante Adams,
it's gonna be a fun year for him. Obviously pooking
(44:34):
the cool up. I think he comes back to earth
a little bit this season. Mike Evans is gonna have
a thousand yards. He's He's that's just what happens, you know,
waters wet, the sky's blued. Mike Evans thousand yards. I
think Tyshawn Deebo Samuel is going to have a really
good season, really productive, especially with the Brandon Ayuk news.
(44:57):
They're gonna give him the ball more throwing the ball,
more fine and more on third downs. So I think
that's the list. I feel comfortable with it.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Well, you left off the rookies.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
I mean Marvin Harrison Junior that situation with Kyler's finally
got another number one option for him to throw the
ball to. We'll see what happens there, but I'm gonna
throw a couple other dark horse sleepers your way, Richard.
This situation in Buffalo is a weird one because you
want to talk about a team that's lost a ton
of talent. Josh Allen here, he is the number one
(45:27):
Fantasy ranked quarterback in the league, but everyone's questioning where
he's gonna throw the football. He's obviously got the tight
end Dalton k and Kaid who I really like. I
think he could be a true candidate for T one overall.
But I think Khalil Shakir is gonna have a big
year Richard, that I'm calling it right now.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
This guy is.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
A dark horse sleeper Puka Nakula type version for the
Buffalo Bills. He made a handful of big plays down
the stretch when he was called upon when Stefan Digs
kind of looked checked out out there. Richard, what do
you think about the Buffalo Bills receiving situation?
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Who do you like? Do you like him?
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Do you like Kean Coleman. They got Curtis Samuel. Who's
the guy that's gonna be getting the ball in Buffalo?
Speaker 3 (46:13):
I mean, I think you gotta go with Khalil Sheha
Kor initially, but the way Kean Coleman, I mean, he's
made a lot of headlines outside of the football field,
so hopefully his his game speaks as as well as
he has. But I mean, it's question marks. It's all
question marks. I can say whatever I want, but it's
(46:34):
nothing proven Mitchell. It's not no proven thousand yard receiver,
no proven thousand yard tight end, no proven And that's
the way defenses are gonna treat him. Nobody's gonna give
them respect in that way. They're gonna press them, They're
gonna they're gonna they're gonna plit them. They're gonna put
a lot of pressure on Josh Allen to beat them.
They're not gonna give these receivers Cover two, cloud cover three,
(46:56):
any of these coverages. They're gonna be man pressured a
lot more than they've ever been pressured or zone pressured,
because these guys just haven't shown that they can that
their NFL receivers obviously, Kean hasn't had a chance to.
But you got Marquez Paldev Scantlink who had play certain
plays throughout the season where he looked really good in
Kansas City and then you had plays where he dropped
(47:17):
bombs and so it's it's gonna be. It's a lot
of unknown Obviously, the one known commodity is Josh Allen
and this is his chance to have a Patrick Mahomes
as season. When Patrick Mahoons lost Tyreek Keel and everybody said, hey,
he's done, He's done. Tyreek's done, Tarreek's gone, He's lost
(47:37):
his big weapon. He's not going to have the same
kind of season. And he did. He had an incredible
season and MVP Calibersy, what did he win MVP that year?
I want to say he won MVP that year. We
have to check, but that sounds but I'm pretty sure
he did. But this is a kind of a not
a make it or breaking for Josh Allen, But the
(47:58):
way they speak about him is going to change if
he's not able to have the same success that he
had with Diggs without him. Because Patrick Mahomes continues to
have success, continues to elevate his team, continues to have
Super Bowl success without Tyreek Keel. Can Josh Allen have
that same success without without dating Stefan Diggs to be seen.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
The second one I like.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
My sleeper candidate is a former first round pick playing
for my Detroit Lions, Jamison Williams. Richard has been blowing
up training camp and they are saying he looks faster, stronger,
He's finally healthy the first time going into camp. He's
actually healthy. He dealt with the suspension last year coming
into the season. They lost their number two in Josh Reynolds,
(48:46):
and they really didn't add anyone else to the receiving corps.
They're banking heavily on Jamison Williams. I think, if you're
going to take a flyer in the eighth round in
that territory, Jamison Williams is a guy that could bring
a lot of firepower. Late Richard, your thoughts on Jamo.
You think that he's gonna add an extra dimension to
this Lion's offense.
Speaker 3 (49:07):
No question, no question about it. I mean at times
last year you could see it, You could see him
adding a different dimension just at such an how easily
and how effortlessly he makes it look as fast as
he's going. I think he's gonna be a fantastic addition,
especially if he has a full season, full training camp,
fall all season under his belt. It's gonna be fun
(49:27):
to watch. I think Drake London and Kyle Pitts out
out in Atlanta are gonna be sleepers. If you believe
in Kirk Cousins, then you gotta believe in those two guys,
because Kirk Cousins is going to be productive, and those
two guys will be a lot of the reason he
is productive. Obviously, Bajhon Robinson is going to be another
(49:48):
part of it, but those are at Drake London I
think is gonna kind of sneak into the top ten
at some point or another.
Speaker 2 (49:55):
I like it, man.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
I mean Atlanta players have been tainted so much because
of bad quarterback play over the last three four years.
And this group that you just talked about Pitt's in
London have all the talent in the world, they just
have never had anyone to throw them the football. I
like both of them.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Richard.
Speaker 1 (50:13):
Let's move the tight end. Our friends at Fantasy Pros
have Sam Laporta is the number one tight end in
the league. Your thoughts on this is a Laporta, is
it Kelsey? Is it your guy? George Kittle, Mark Andrews?
Who do you like on this top end tight end
line here?
Speaker 3 (50:31):
Rich? That's tough because there's so many quality tight ends
in this league, Mitchell as there there are so many.
It depends on who you're asking and who you're dealing with,
because you know, Pat Freirmouth out in Pittsburgh is a
guy that was productive at times, really productive Dalton Schultz
(50:53):
in Houston if he didn't have all those freaking receivers
around him as a guy, I would put a lot
of a lot of stock in Las Vegas. You know,
you don't know what they have. You know, DeVante Adams
is gonna get doubled a lot. So does does brock
Powers have a good year? I don't know, maybe, but
I think that Sam Laporta is is in a good
(51:13):
spot at one. Obviously you got to have Travis up there.
He and Patrick. Patrick's gonna find him. He's gonna figure
it out. I don't I don't care how long he
plays when he stops. He has a skill set that
stands the test of time, and we're not going to
disrespect him because he he continues to show he can
be productive and will be productive. Mark Andrews and Baltimore.
(51:36):
We'll see how they do with, you know, with now
Derek Henry bringing the defense up and causing you know,
eight man boxes and things like that. I think George
is gonna again with the Brandon Ayuk Praye potentially happening
at put that puts more passes in George Kettle's hands,
allowing him to be more productive. Kyle Pitts in Atlanta
(51:58):
with with again Kirk Cousins, He's going to be more productive,
get more passes, get more passes in the areas he's
comfortable with Dalton kink without Stefan Diggs, he should be
the number one option out in Buffalo and actually to production.
Jake Ferguson had a really good year in Dallas. I
think he only gets better as they focus more on
(52:19):
Cdee Lamb and trying to stop him. And if Tolbert
or Cooks can really start to put pressure on the defense,
he can find his niche to have an eleven twelve
hundred yard season. Evan Ingram and Jacksonville. I think at
Jacksonville comes down to Earth. I just can't I can't
believe in the kid like that Trevor Lawrence hasn't shown
(52:40):
me enough. And I always say this, but he just hasn't.
You know. That's you know, well, we'll talk about that
when we talk about how everybody got paid this offseason,
because that was a head scratcher for me. But I
think he's going to continue to be productive. David and
Joe Cool was productive regardless of who was that quarterback
for Cleveland last year, so I think that continues.
Speaker 1 (53:00):

thank you. Appreciate you guys joining us for the first
episode of this season's Richard Sherman Podcast. We'll see you
next week for maybe a special cast, A little bit
more information to talk about, because I got to figure
out how they given these quarterbacks fifty five million, Mitchell
(53:49):
fifty five million. I just like, you know what, But
we'll see you next week to talk about that. Say too.
