(00:26):
Fantasy Jack, Eat Sleep Fantasy,Eat Sleep Fantasy five four three two one.
He's done making all that noise.YEA hello everybody, and welcome to
another episode of the East Sleep FantasyFootball Podcast. My name is Dale,
Thanks for joining us as always,Clayton the Canadian. Uh, we're back,

(00:52):
well we we we we rekindle ourfriendship. Dale's back kind of went
a little a wal Dale is beinga little bit, but yeah, we
managed to work out some details anduh yeah we're back, ready to talk
some football. It's in contract negotiations. Well, I was going to sit
out the whole year, but Dalewouldn't allow that. You know, he
realized how important that was to theshow. So well, the fact is

(01:15):
that nobody else wants to talk tome for forty five minutes at a time.
Yeah, and I told you nobodydoes. That's why I limit you
to thirty to thirty five minutes.That's where we negotiated that today. That
was it. If I sound alittle different, I'm barely getting over this
head cold. See I have alittle bit left. But you're sick more
than my children are. That's wherepeople say it, but I'm not.

(01:38):
I just think that when I doget sick, everybody notices you can get
sick, and nobody notices when Iget sick. Every Oh, you'll notice
because I'm a bitch, Like ifI gotta if I got a head cold,
many stay away from me. Man. That's the worst. Man,
colds are the worst. Yeah,I think they hit us just a little
harder. Yeah. Anyways, todaywe're gonna look it's been a while since

(02:00):
where we recorded. This is justgonna be a quick, you know,
quick, a little two hour podcastsjust about what you know, what's happened
since the last time you heard fromus. I'll go through some free agency
stuff, some trade stuff, justthings that you should probably know heading into
the season. We're not gonna getinto a lot of such strategies. We're

(02:21):
just gonna be like, hey,Aaron Rodgers on the Jets. Did you
know that? And move on fromthere? You get what I'm saying.
This is gonna be. This isgonna be a really fun, easy listen,
just to catch you up on everything. Clayton might have a couple of
opinions and some of these guys I'mgonna talk about and we're gonna get going.
This offseason is gonna be really fun. We're gonna do a ton of
mock drafts heading into July and August, so stay tuned on for that.

(02:49):
Really, in mock drafts, Ithink people get most out of mock drafts,
out of everything, just because youcan hear. If you hear different
mock drafts all the time, you'regonna be ready for your real draft when
it comes up. I think,Yeah, I just I just think you
could, you know, change yourstrategy up right, Like I mean,
you could just figure out everything youcould draft from anywhere you want. You
pick a number whatever draft from there, try just try your try certain strategies

(03:10):
out and see what works best foryou. Right, Yeah, that's right,
that's right. Um, So anyways, I really do what are we
doing? What are we what arewe doing? Our mock drafts on this
year. Doo uh coming soon.We'll let you know. We're working on
a couple of things right now.Okay, you're ready for the big announcements,

(03:34):
do it? I don't have to. I'm just saying, do you
know I don't anyways? All right, so let's just get right into it,
Clayton. Like I said Aaron Rodgersto the Jets, I mean,
everybody should know that by now.But hey, look, I'm not gonna
insult our listeners if you didn't knowthat, now you do. I love

(03:55):
I love this line of spot.I love every single offensive weapon he has
on this team. I'll tell youright now, Garrett Wilson, Garrett Wilson
is going to be maybe I don'tknow, maybe this is a little bit
too rich for you know, secondyear player, but top five wide receiver
by the end of the years.Why not? Why not? Look at
who he had thrown the ball to. Look at what he did last year,

(04:17):
you know, I mean, hehad the six most targets on team,
eleventh, most ryer yards. He'sjust been outside of the touchdowns,
he only had four on the season. But I think with Aaron Rodgers,
I think he's gonna I think GaryWilson's gonna be the the Davante Adams,
the new Davante Adams in this offense. All right, what about we all

(04:41):
know Lamar Jackson stayed with the Ravens. Derek Carr is now a saint.
If he didn't know that you're havinga heart attack, guy, like in
the episode Happening, Man, Ijust got a really good cramp, like
a my hymn stream Dude, drinklike water, shit Fanomas or something man

(05:03):
like good. It came out ofnowhere. Geez, the heart attack.
If you had a heart attack,would you do seriously? But would die
on camera? I don't know what. I leave the studio because I don't
want to win a set and thenI figure out something to do. I
text Breedo or something. Would youpost it? No? I text?

(05:26):
Actually, I text Armando because Armandowould have your back. You'd say,
you know, seriously, like youwould just watch me die? You you
would not, so you'd have tocall MNDO. Amanda would have to call.
Yeah, I would see I shouldyou should give me your wife's Numberdale
give me? Oh man, NowI know how these athletes feel when they

(05:49):
get hamstring injuries. This bike it'snot hurting anymore. But man, it's
just like I woke up. Iwoke up with leg crap today in both
legs. That was That was rough. It sucks. Anyways, we're talking
about Derek Carr. Okay, yeah, Derek Carr with the Saints now,
Really the only guy to really watchout for is Chrystal Lobby, right,

(06:11):
Uh, you know what if hecan if he could get ten plus ten
plus games. Michael Thomas is comingback, and I know we haven't seen
a whole lot of a lot ofhim last what two three years, But
I think with Michael Thomas coming backhopefully healthy, just going to add another
weapon for car. So, Imean, he could be a sneaky,
sneaky sleeper this year too. Uh. He's not gonna be checking his quarterback

(06:34):
one though, is he. No, he's not. I think he goes
for Jimmy Garoppolo. No, Idon't think that's sounded up great for him,
but he is what he is.I think I don't think he's anything
more than you know, fourteen toseventeen point quarterback at this point. I'm
not I'm not Garoppolo at all,not high on Garoppolo. I'm down on

(06:55):
Davante Adams just because of that,because this Raiders team is trash. Yeah,
uh, Baker Mayfield going to doanything on the Bucks. I do
I think he. I think hecould be a sneaky top ten finish this
here, believe it or not.Um just with the weapons. Evans there,
Godwin, you still got rustle gaugedthere, Rashad White, He's got
enough weapons to succeed. I justI don't know. There's just something.

(07:21):
I know he hasn't been anything,He's been ship, but I don't know.
There's something about this offense, thiscoaching staff that I think will get
him to where he needs to be. Yeah, and yeah, So I
do like him. I mean now, I mean you're you're you could get
him late in drafts, so,which is fine. But I like him
as a probably a top But whatare you clicking? Are you doing spreadsheet

(07:43):
work or something? Right? No? Can you hear? How can you
How can you click so much?What are you doing? Blaine mind sweeper?
No, I was going back andforth to some stuff. I'll stop
doing that. There's no way.There's no way that we're looking at the
same documented he d as much clicking. I don't know what you're clicking?
Are you what are you doing?I'm clicking back and forth. Did you

(08:03):
hear it again? What? Yes, I hear it. Mouse loudest mouse
click ever. All right, Yeah, it's better. All right. So
something that you may not have known. I don't know. Does it make
a big difference with Miles Sanders goingto the Panthers. I think it'll be

(08:28):
I think he'll be fine. Ido uh. I like he'll be a
nice a nice addition for for BryceYoung in that offense. I do think
that we're still going to see himget a ton of targets out of the
backfield. And I think he's he'she's the only guy. There's not a
whole lot of death behind him.So I do think that this is uh,

(08:50):
this is a plus four Sanders.Yeah, okay. Um. Also,
David Montgomery moving away from the Bearsto the Lions. What does that
do? Okay, so the threethree guys here that are impacted, David
mctgomery going to Lions. What doesthat do for Jamal Williams? What does
that do for Cleil Herbert. ClilHerbert has now left on the Bears,

(09:13):
who's played like a monster. He'sbeen a monster, But I don't think
I think with that offense. Now, they did add they got Foreman there,
right, they got Jhonta Foreman there, which I think he's going to
be the guy. I do thinkhaving that have an event like form in
their understand career backup, but thelast couple of years he has performed well.

(09:33):
I do think that he's going tobe able to take enough touches to
be a little bit more relevant thanHerbert, unless, however, Foreman does
get injured. And then they alsodrafted they invested in Roshawn Johnson too,
right, so a little bit downon Herbert. As far as Jamal Williams
goes, I don't think we're goingto see the same kind of production like
what sixteen touchdowns as we did lastyear, right right? Um? I

(09:56):
do still think. Well, Imean Kamar is there, and then you
also Day for the Saints, andthen they added, uh, Kendre Miller.
I do I like him. Ilike him in that offense. But
who wait, why did you thinkKendre Miller? Why are you talking about?

(10:18):
What do you mean? Well,that's what Jamal Williams is, oh
right, right, right right,you dumb ass. You had no idea.
You're like, oh h oh,yeah, well here an idiot,
idiot, But I love you Dale. And as far as David Montgomery goes,
the whole Jamir Gibbs thing scares meoff of Montgomery, I'm a lot

(10:39):
more like when you first got drafted. When he first signed there, I
was excited, but I just thinkJamir Gibbs is going to take all that
receiving receiving work away from him.So I mean, you're still drafting Montgomery
as ay, uh, you knowa mid to late RB two, but
I'm not. He's definitely not inthat RB one conversation. Yeah. And

(11:00):
then DeAndre Swift is a lot thelines anymore. He is with the Eagles,
which I like. I love thatlining spell for him, although the
whole rushing ability does worry me alittle bit because of the fact hurts,
you know, steals all those goalline cares. But you know what Swift
did well last year with he didn'teven get chances. That's goal line,

(11:22):
so it really doesn't matter. Okay, all right, What is Devin Singletary
signing with the Texans do for DamianPierce? As add some depth, I
think maybe you know spells pierced alittle bit because Pierce can't be you know
that that bell cow running back.You're always going to need somebody in there
to to steal some touches here andthere. But I just I think he's

(11:45):
I think he's he's in a goodspot there. I do like singletary as
a flex option. I do stillthink that he's going to be a irrelevant
in that offense. I think it'sjust enough to keep Damian Pierce out of
the RB one category for the year. I think it's just enough, like
Damian Pierce was going to be likerunning back like eight through twelve and now
he's pumped out of the top twelve. For me, yeah, I agree.

(12:09):
I think it's just enough to getto get taken a little bit of
work fro him to make him thatright all right? For some Penny obviously,
with Kenneth Walker's success in Seattle,Sean Penny signed with the Eagles,
did I do anything to you alittle bit? But with the fact that

(12:30):
Swift went there, that same kindof thing, right, um, right,
So, but I do think Penny. I think Penny is relevant.
I think he's going to get sometouches and just I think you can you
know, not even worry about youknow, a guy like Boston Scott there
anymore. I think it's just goingto be like a um a swift Penny
Gainwell backfield. So yep, allright, So with Devin Singletary leaving the

(12:54):
Bills, we got Damien Harris joiningthe Bills. Maybe similar doesn't do anything
for me. I think it's aJames Cook show there. Okay, all
right, my name. With DamienHarris leaving New England, James Robinson kind
of slides right in there. Butthen he also got cut yesterday. Oh
did he really? Yeah? Ohyeah, okay, see breaking news on

(13:18):
this podcast if you guys want breakingnews. But as far as Zaches Rumandre
Stevenson season all, I'm excited forthat. He'll that'll push him up into
well into my top ten at theposition. Really yeah, Mandre Stevenson over
Damian Pierce. Oh yeah, that'snot close. Really okay, all right

(13:45):
you here here first guys, Claytonsaid not close. All right, let's
move on to some wide receivers.DJ Moore uh goes to the Struggle Bears.
Huge for Justin Fields. Oh greatfor Justin Fields. Um, I
think it does more for justin fields. He does DJ Moore right, yeah,
he I mean he slides any immediatelyis that wide receiver one. They

(14:07):
don't got much else behind him asfar as you know, Chase Claypool which
is already banged up, Darnell Mooneywhich is coming back from injury, and
you got Cole commit there. Sohe definitely saw he's going to lead this
team in targets and probably receptions andyards. And yeah, like I said,
if if you for justin Fields,it's a huge upgrade for him from

(14:28):
what he's had in the last coupleof years. So yeah, okay,
um, does Jujus miss Schuster goingto the Patriots do anything for Juju or
Mac Jones? Not? He's notreally, He's on the end of his
career, isn't. Isn't. Yeah, I'm not sure. It's that's just
a weird signing in general, goingfrom literally the Super Bowl champions, who

(14:52):
apparently they offered him a contract heturned it down to go to a place
like the Chiefs and have a guylike Mac jew I mean, you're talking
Mac Joe, but is he evengoing to be the guy at the start
of the year. He may startthe year, but you got Bailey Zapp.
You there, they got you knowthe they did draft or didn't draft.
They got a UDF in Malie Cunningham, which is a quarterback, but
he's moving to receiver, so thatcould be another you know sneak why.

(15:16):
I mean, you watch that guyon tape. He's something else. So
take a look. I'm started.Have we recorded since I had my third
kid? I think, yeah,we definitely have, right, Yeah we
have. Yeah. Um, ElijahMoore, I've always I've always been excited
to watch Elijah Moore player. Ithink he's a really dynamic talent going to

(15:37):
the Browns. I love this.I love this for him. I know,
Um Deshaun Watson really likes this kid. I heard they have a good
rapport already going into you know,going into mini Campum, I think I
think he's going to be targeted heavilyin the slot for them. All right.
There's Zoe Deell Buckham Junior signed withthe with ravens uh Hard. I

(16:03):
think if he as long as he'shealthy and him and Lamar Jackson get on
the same page, I think hecould put up some crazy numbers there.
There was a guy walking around theshopping scener yesterday with a full Yeah Odell
j I think it was like alike, yeah, like athinic jersey,
you know, had like the shortersleeves and almost like like a real jersey.

(16:25):
It was so weird. He waswalking around he had like high socks
on and really yeah, yeah,Raven's hot. Nice strange Yeah yeah.
Um. Adam Feeling going to thePanthers, Yeah whatever, whatever, but
is what it is. Alan Lazardgoing to the Jets whatever. Yeah,
it doesn't do anything for me.I still think. I mean, sure

(16:48):
he's gonna maybe get some I don'tthink his um, he's going to be
as fantasy relevant as he was aGreen Bay yep. Ok right, So
chart Take going to the Panthers,does that do anything for you? I
like that. I mean you stillgot you know, the this um,
this receiving depth you know on thisPanther's team isn't the greatest a year.

(17:11):
I mean you got Terns Marshall,who we've yet to see, you know,
since he's coming to the league,do anything. Adam Delon who we
let we just talked about that umlevisca Chana junior. However, he doesn't
treat me a little bit Leavisca does. Um, But I mean out of
all these guys, you know,I take a stab at DJ Chark.

(17:32):
Yeah, okay, all right?Uh really the biggest I guess there's a
couple big tight end moves. Thefirst one Darren Waller going to the giants.
Um that that helps the giant Imean the emergency of Daniel Jones.
Um. I think it gets hima giant target, somebody that reliable.

(17:52):
I catch the ball. You cansee ten touchdowns coming out of Waller this
year. Yeah, not crazy,not crazy? Right? Uh? Definitely
does Darren Waller continue to have likethe elite tight end label on him?
Right? If you can stay healthy, that's the biggest question mark, right,
I mean the biggest question mark whenit comes to any any football player.

(18:15):
I mean, anybody can step upand be an elite player. However,
if you can't perform and stay onthe field, you're never gonna be
labeled that as an elite tight end. Right. So that's how I feel
about podcasting. If I just stayhealthy and continue to podcast it, bro,
you bro, you can stay healthy. Man, I know I know

(18:38):
I am getting eat go eat dirtor something. Man does not how dirt
like kids eat dirt and like rocksand stuff. Trying to I'm trying,
man, I'm trying. I'm trying. Okay, you do you haven't even
asked me how Canada is and Albertain general. You know our probably we're
burning. Is that what it is? That's from the east coast, buddy,

(19:02):
not west coast. Yeah, there'ssee how it is from here.
Oh you you're like, you thinkyou have it bad, but guess what,
you're the one creating all these bottleoms. It's actually you know what it's.
It's it's it's actually sad situation.You know the I sound liked and

(19:22):
well, if you get on theconspiracy theory of it, apparently it was
the government, dude, just lightingshit on fire. I'm sorry, but
I did see a couple of tiktokswhere everything burned all the same time there.
Did you see the one where theplanes going over and they're just like
lighting trees on fire? Like justwow, look, it's you know what,

(19:44):
every year we have this problem becausewe're such a beautiful province that's just
surrounded by trees um and you knowwhat, A Richard probably the very first
one was probably started by some fuckingdipshit flicking a cigarette out of window and
it's funny because it's not funny,but you you should how often you still
see it? Like just driving asyou know, I drive bus. You
see it all the time, andI'm like, what the fuck is wrong

(20:06):
with these people? Man Like?But however, it has it been close
to us? I mean, theone that's burning really out of control right
now, um is about two hourswest of me, so I mean that's
snowhere near. But you're still gettinga couple of weeks ago we had smoke.
You couldn't even see, like thisfar in front of you is insane.
It's crazy. Are you guys wearingmasks and stuff outside? No?

(20:26):
I don't. I mean I doknow a guy buddy's um dad passed away
from it. He had a respiratoryissue and he ended up having a like
an aneurysm because of it. Yeah, his wild Yeah, but hopefully you
know is what is every year wekind of go through this. But yeah,

(20:48):
nobody whatever, No really, Imean, I mean he's gonna be
It's a nice option for shroud.I do like shorts a little bit more
than a lot of guys, butwe haven't really seen this offense do anything,

(21:08):
I said, you know, ora tight end, do anything.
I mean they have Brevin Jordan there, they had Farrell Brown, which who's
now gone. They have a tonof tight ends to see if one of
them can stick. It would benice of it at de Trolts. That's
about all I have, man.I you know, I feel like I

(21:29):
have a lot of content to sharebecause a lot of stuff has happened.
Um, but I just wanted toget this out. Just got a quick,
quick, little recap because I thinksome of those you know, not
everybody knew. Jamal Williams wasn't wasin uh New Orleans now you know nobody
James Robinson got cut already. Yeahsee yeah yeah yeah, and uh the

(21:52):
Oilers lost. Oh man, yeahfuck Vegas. Sorry if anybody I don't
know, man, I I cannot. I love, I love hockey,
but yeah, I don't know.Yeah, it sucks, it does.
How How how did the Heat do? They did pretty good? Man,

(22:12):
the Heat overachieved and it's hard.It was Look, I was really sad
that we couldn't take the Nuggets thegame six Ers Game seven, like that
would have been awesome. Um,you just knew the Nuggets were just a
far better team. Oh I'm notI'm not a big I'm not a big
basketball guy, Like I don't followit as much, but just from what

(22:33):
I have seen, yeah, itlooked like the Nuggets were absolutely unstuff.
I mean even the game, theone game that we won game too,
it was like we barely did it, like we did it just you know,
we didn't play well. I thinkthe Nuggets played well defensively, There's
a lot of things didn't A betterteam didn't. You guys have to play
a playing game to get into theplayoffs. We played a playoff game,

(22:56):
playing game. We lost the firstone and we won the second to bear.
Yeah that's way. Yeah, that'scrazy. I mean that's you go
back to hockey, same thing.You look at the Panthers who completely got
annihilated by Vegas, same kind ofsituations, a different sport. Right,
finished as an eighth seed, madeit all the way to the final.
Yeah, so the fan base can'tbe like too sad about it, Like
we didn't have expectations to win itall and we went went this far.

(23:18):
But we've been to you know,two finals in three years. I think
we're a good team. They keepus entertained. There you go. Anyways,
that's about all I got, man. I think we have a lot
of stuff coming down the pipeline.You're gonna hear a lot of a lot
from us in July and August withall of them up drafts and and news
episodes that we have going on.So that should be fun. And uh

(23:41):
