Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on surprise. Yeah, alright, alright, alright, I've got something
(00:20):
for you. Skin.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I know Ben's the fantasy gallon this show, but I
do think this will actually make sense and be interesting.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Okay, okay. This is based on.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Looking at where a lot of players were drafted at
their position in fantasy football across all the websites and
how they're doing. Now, let me take you to the
tight end position. Okay, what do you think Jake ferguson
what tight end do you think he was drafted as?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I think he was probably drafted. I think the back
end of the top ten, Like you know, it really
comes down to like how many people in your fantasy league, right,
so I think on.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Average, Well yeah, but everyone ends up drafting a bunch
of tight ends.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
So yeah, okay, I think on average he probably went seventh, twelfth,
Is that right? I would have thought higher, I would
have thought people. But I get also people not believing
in Dak after what happened last year.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, I know for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So uh for reference, Travis Kelcey sixth, Yeah, I had
taken Jackerson.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
He is your current number one tight end. I heard
this the other day.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Maybe you told me this and I was like, I'm
not following it closely enough. But there was that one
game where he had four hundred receptions because Dak refused
to throw beyond four yards.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah no, and the touchdowns are starting to poll up.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah yeah, he not had a lot less right, could
have had another one in that Eagles game. But George
Jorge Pickens, do you think he was drafted amongst all
wide receivers?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Oh wow, I'm gonna say twenty fifth, twenty second. Okay,
he is your sixth leading wide receiver and Fantasy football.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Let's go. Now.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Part of that is CD getting hurt, but also you
know he's he's a big target.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
No Turpin this week? Most likely Turpin doesn't think he's
gonna play. So Flernoy is Flinoy real? Is Jalen Tolbert
comeback game? It's so strange to me after he had
that big catch against the Packers, he got one target.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, it's very weird. Well, I think they triple covered him.
Running backs of all the day, I.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Guarantee you that dude, we're talking about Williams. He's probably
a top three running back in fantasy.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Right, he's number three, okay, behind Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Okay, and I bet he went.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Dog.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I bet he went dog. I bet he went twenty fifth.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Keep going thirty fifth, keep going fortieth, keep going fifty lower.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Are you serious back the other way now? Oh? Okay,
forty fifth.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
He was the forty fifth running back taken, just for
a reference point, the first ringing back taken pretty much
across all plays Formsjeon Robinson. Yeah, he's your seventh fantasy
running back third uh, Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
But you know what, I'm curious, and you may not
know this off the top of your helmet. How did
where did Travis Hunter go in fantasy drafts?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Pretty far down?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Okay, because no one was going to be the wide
receiver one for them yet and no one knew how
she's gonna play.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Have you been tracking his defensive and offensive snaps? I haven't,
he probably should.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I read an article about it yesterday or the day before.
It is all over the board, like there's no real
rhyme or reason to it. I think in the last
the last game was his best offensive game.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
But then the week before that he had three defensive snaps.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
And so there's been times where I think he's had
a couple combined games where he played half of all snaps.
But then he's had somewhere he's like not on the
defensive side at all, somewhere he's not on the offensive
side at all. And then there's did you see that
controversy about on the main Banning cast, Eli Manning said
that the coach of Jacksonville told him that he never
(04:06):
practiced as a wide receiver in college, never got red.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Oh yeah, and all the people are but heard about that.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, now Deon Junior saying I got footage of him
taking reps.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
That's just an interesting thing to follow because it was
such a big score.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Take the Manning cast as gospel goof around quarterback.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Dak probably went fifteenth, tenth, Okay, he went tenth.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
He's your fourth scoring quarterback.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Oh hi, I think he's starting a lot of touchdown
I think it's him and Baker Rayfield right now, and
maybe Josh Allen's right behind. You know what, though, it's
interesting because Dak doesn't have monster yardage games. He just
has touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I mean, the Cows are not the leading rushing or
passing team right there. The number one offense with yards
you have.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Has he had a three hundred yard passing game yet?
I bet he has. It feels like it's been to
eighty nine every week. Surely the Packers game surely? Yeah? Yeah,
and the Giants game is a shootout. Yeah that's enough.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh, well, off tomorrow we've been back. We'll make our
official picks to click. Get ready, We're not the Packers,
I mean, Cowboys, Panthers. No, this is NFC Championship Game preview.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I guarantee you we're not doing picks to click on
the Eagle. Coming up next, how do you feel about
the high end, fancy Mexican food restaurant. We'll have that
discussion in the weekday update.
Come on surprise. Yeah, alright, alright, alright, I've got something
