Speaker 3 (04:40):
How are you You know it was such an impressive
lead in BALKI that I missed you so much. I
sent you a text just to tell you how much
I missed you. You can look at your tech stream
it I am on it. Yeah you know, I yes,
I got the I got the best email tonight. Grandpaul

(05:00):
Bullet Bob Hogan, Uh you know, tough, muscular, impressive individual
and he has grandkids and he just he just melts
into a little malleable kind of life form there. But
he sent me, he sent me an email. He's playing
our Bestball championship with his grandson.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Uh and uh they're just together having the best time. So,
you know, I really love this time of year before
we get into it in the main events and the
travel to Paris hotel and casino on the strip.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I really it's just a great time of year.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
It is a great time of year. And it's fun
because we we're kind of making up our own narratives
right now when we draft, which can be kind of
fun because there's not a lot of news coming out with.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Even though we're making them up. There they're they're there.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
They are actually based stories that we're telling each other
to tuck us into bed at night and those and
one of those one of those stories, one of those stories,
as we lead things off from the Florida Times Union,
this was the story that Demetrius Harvey told us this
week about the Jacksonville Jaguars. Travis etn Dude ended last

(06:23):
season as the lead running back for the Jaguars, and
because we start drafting in January, we have buried this
guy six feet under, probably back in May after Michelle
Touton got drafted, and now all of a sudden, he's
making a comeback here in late June. Because Demetrius Harvey says,
Etn is expected to remain the team's top back, but
he could take quote a bit of a backseat as

(06:43):
a rusher as the team's running game and his receiving
ability evolved.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Harvey went on to say in this story that this
competition will include not only Etn, but Basehell, Tooton, Tank Bigsby,
and Leaquent Allen, the other rookie running back that Jacksonville drafted.
He listed those players in that order. I don't think
that that's any surprise. It's not alphabetical order, it is
reverse alphabetic order. But I think the order he listened
him in is an order of importance in the backfield.

(07:09):
If the Jaguars truly are going to go a running
back by committee route, it's gonna feature at least three
of these guys. It's going to be problematic. However, Etn,
while he wasn't a big pass catcher in college, it
seems like he is starting to pick that game part
of his game up faster and faster pharall, if we
look at the Jacksonville running backs and how they're drafted

(07:29):
in the go rilla as you call it, the gorilla, which,
by the way, the ADP that we're getting is from
fantasymojo dot com at Fantasy Mojo on Ax. Darren RMANI
the godfather of the process of Joe's Challenge. He runs this.
Anytime we cite the ADP, it's coming from his website.
Strongly urge you to get a Fantasy Mojo membership if
you are playing in the FFPC. Jacksonville running Backs etn

(07:51):
eight oh nine, Bay Shell, Tooton ten oh one, Bigsby
at the twelve ten, and Laquin Allen not being drafted.
So those top three guys kind of Ferrell, Do you
have a favorite out of those three? Right now?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
I have a favorite. His name is Trevor Lawrence. And
if you've returned to his twenty twenty two production, all
these running backs will flourish. The support for Travis Atienne
amongst fantasy players even before the draft, I think he
was evanescent, transitory, temporary at best, and then the draft game,

(08:31):
I just said, this team has nowhere to go, but
the proverbial direction of up. It will depend on the
quarterback's ability to move the ball down the field, which
he hasn't shown that in a couple of years. You've
got to put these guys in some down in distant
situations where they can score touchdowns. It's team football. It
hasn't gone well for the quarterback in the last few years. Consequently,

(08:54):
the backfield has suffered as well. Rookie year not unless
the Unless the offense tunes up and the quarterback returns
to success, it's going to be another long year to own.
Jacksonville Jags.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
So are you? I mean, do you have a okay? So,
I guess the pivotal player here is Trevor Lawrence. For you?
Which side are you falling in on that? Do you
think he recaptures or gains some magic this year and
really pilots this offense or are you betting on the
side of fading the Jaguars By and large.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
I want to examine it more in a preseason. I
think with all the coaching changes there, I think I
think his reset and his head is in the right direction,
and based on where these running backs are going, I'm
willing to take a risk and say that it is.
You got to remember that everyone valued this quarterback when

(09:44):
he entered the league, and he's had a rough patch,
but I don't think his skill set is gone. New coaches,
new opportunity. Let's see what happens. But it's uh, you know,
there's something needs to be shown this year there.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
It's weird that. I mean, I think I'm still team
Tooting here because it is one of those running backs
that you get later on in the draft, and I
don't want to necessarily draft for floor, which I think
is what Etn is there at eight o nine, that's
still almost a round and a half ahead of Touton.
So I like Tooting there. I like him more than Bigsby.
He's the mystery box and unlike what he was going
for in early May, far oh you don't have to

(10:20):
pay that price anymore. He's he's falling a little bit.
And I think I.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Appreciate rider Demetrius Harvey. You know, he wins the Captain
Obvious Forward of the week. You know, if he's reporting
on if he's reporting on July fourth, he's probably going
to talk about parades and fireworks and maybe even hot notes.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
That's entirely possible I know that. Let's move on and
talk about the New York Jets here. Aaron Glenn, the
new head coach there, said that Mason Taylor, their rookie
tight end, is doing an outstanding job as a blocker.
He also before this talked about how well Mason Taylor
is at catch the ball away from his body and

(11:02):
how quick he's getting north and south after the catch
this year. So this is good on both sides. You
want to know that he's a good blocker. You want
to know that his head coach is praising him for
the receiving aspect of the tight end position as well.
Among the tight end positions receptions last year in the league,

(11:26):
nearly twenty eight hundred of them, thirty percent were caught
via play action. And obviously this is something that the
Jets want to do. This is something that Aaron Rodgers
did not like doing with New York and and and
clearly Mason Taylor is going to have the opportunity to
be a very successful player this year. If I remember correctly,
Pharaoh Steven Nrgalos who has been on this show before

(11:49):
less than a month ago. I think he has been
in from KFFSC drafts with me I'm I'm not, I'm not,
you know, saying this with with an undoubted lock of certainty.
It seems like he grabs Mason Taylor in like every
draft I mess, he's always grabbed him tight end twenty
three at the thirteen to ten right now, I think,
especially if you go elite tight end, you grab one

(12:10):
of the top five. I think Mason Taylor looks real
nice Clark as a backup tight end for you this year.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yes, and here we've got another SEC tight end joining
the league, one that is the most prolific pass catcher
in LSU history amongst the tight end positions. There's certainly
the family heritage there of father Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas,

(12:40):
uncle of you know, this guy's a foot this guy's
a football lifer, and he just turned twenty one years old.
I think that what this He was a steal for
the Jets in the second round, and if you can
draft him in the FFBC in the thirteenth round, you're
stealing too. And I'm not saying he's going to be

(13:01):
brock Bowers, but he's done all the same things that
brock Bowers has done over at Georgia in this in
the Southeastern Conference and it you know, they're not hurting
for weapons at LSU, but they found a way to
get to sky Ball and that just wasn't circum That
just wasn't a circumstance or incidental.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
I want to, uh, we're gonna get to Jason camp
here in a second. Before we do, I want to
get into this R J. Harvey JK. Dobbins discussion. I
know we've touched on this before, Pharrell, but Nick Cosmier Cosmider,
excuse me, and Nick I apologize that by butchering this.
I know Nick's watching right now. He never misses an episode,
but he believes that R. J. Harvey is still going

(13:44):
to be a significant part of the offense even after
the acquisition of JK. Dobbins. He did one of these
mailbag columns for The Athletic where people were asking him
questions about the Broncos, and somebody asked him about the
impact that JK. Dobbinson is going to have an R J.
Harvey this year, Cosmiders, and he welcomed the opportunity to
quote dispel this narrative. And he also said in this

(14:05):
mail bag quote, if anything, Harvey has exceeded expectations during
his early days in Denver, and certainly Dobbins will have
a role, but bear in mind that if the Broncos
really wanted Dobbins, they could have signed him prior to
the NFL Draft and prior to drafting RJ. Harvey. As
you have so eloquently pointed out with a lot of players,

(14:27):
Barrel that we've been talking about over the last couple
of weeks, this is gonna be one of those things
that's gonna be much more interesting when we get to
training camp and seeing how these things shake out. Right now,
but I think the death of r J. Harvey after JK.
Dobbins was signed has been largely overrated. Now when we
look at the mojo on these guys and look at
how Denver running backs are being drafted, we see McLaughlin

(14:48):
as running back eighty six. We see estimates running back
seventy seven, Dobbins is forty two, and RJ. Harvey is
still running back twenty one. He is going at the
five oh six, Dobbins is going f Browns behind him
at the ten oh seven. In your humble opinion, are
f FPC players playing this Denver backfield right at the
moment to be taking Harvey five rowns ahead of JK. Dobbins.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I really love Harvey, so the answer might be that
he should go where he's going and that Dobbin should
be elevated as your handcuff. I think what everybody here
is buying into the fact of what we just said
about Lawrence and Jacksonville, those teams are responding to the

(15:32):
young quarterback, his maturity and the ability of the team
to be uh to play better. They're they're a year
ahead of where Jacksonville needs to be in this upcoming season.
So I it's difficult because if you start picking two
of these guys and some guy told me on the phone,

(15:54):
I didn't give much credence to it, but he told
me he has to make could be out of there.
And I just I really like Harvey, So I'm gonna
go ahead and draft him where I have to draft him.
And I think a lot of those I think a
lot of those drafters are probably going zero running back
and they're coming in with They're coming in with Harvey

(16:17):
as their guy. I think that might be what's happening here.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I want to touch on one more thing real quick
before we get to Jason Camp. Zach Kiefer from The Athletic,
who covers the Chiefs there, said that we should look
for more emphasis on explosion from Kansas City's passing game
this year. Andy Reid apparently during the spring made it
a real point for the Chiefs to be pushing the
ball downfield, something that they got away from for sure
last season and maybe a little bit in twenty twenty

(16:44):
three as well. Since twenty twenty one, Mahomes has been
twenty first or worse in a dot, and he finished
sixth in a dot. Bear in mind in twenty eighteen
when he had five thousand yards, fifty touchdowns twelve picks,
won his first MVP that year. That's when he had
athletic and young Travis Kelcey. That's when he had athletic

(17:05):
and young Tyreek Hill. Now he gets xader Worthy, who
we know can get it done vertically as well as
in the intermediate game. Rashie Rice, I don't think anybody
would say as a field stretcher, but I believe you
brought this to our attention before Hollywood Brown could still
get it done. He's still fast, and now they're gonna
have two guys that could really be lidlifters on this offense.
I don't know if this is a conversation about, Hey,

(17:27):
should we be looking at Hollywood Brown Lake should be
like taking Worthy over Rashie Rice. I think this is
more of a question, Pharrell, do we need to pump
up Patrick Mahomes on our draft board because he is
going well outside the top five and then there's a deep,
yawning chasm between Burrow and Mahomes. It's like two and
a half rounds based on his are going he needs
to be going higher.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
And we had some guys in the chat room talking
about how Mahomes has struggled with Fantasy Points in the
last two years. And he has, but he you know,
he's also been hurt, He's had some other situations around
to him. I think this is the year that he
brings it together and I you know, drafters will tell
you what round, what round is Darren got him going in?

Speaker 1 (18:09):
What's the report for the mojo on who.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Mahomes right now in the f f PC big Gorilla
quarterback six at the eight oh two.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
You know, if you can get it Patrick Mahomes that
late in the draft, all day long, I'll go back
you know, Booger Freeman checked in when we're having our
conversation about the Denver backfield, and he is correct. Coach Peyton,
you know, we know what it's gonna be. You have
to be Alvin Kamara to get the majority of the touches.
It's running back by committee. And so yeah, that's a

(18:44):
that's a very good point. But I love I love
Kansas City. Uh, there's a lot of players to get
the ball too, and they got the right quarterback to
get it to them. You're gonna get fantasy points out
of Kelsey. Uh, it'll be interesting. The most interesting thing
to see from a fantasy perspective is how the backfield

(19:05):
works itself out. And Worthy is going to be exciting
to watch.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
He is going to be exciting. And we can't wait
to see what happens with this Chiefs offense. And we
won't be waiting long feral, because I think we're only dad,
what is it, June twenty seventh, We're less than three
months away. I mean it's like eight or nine weeks
something like that away from the start of the NFL season,
which I know you can't wait for. I can't wait
for it either, And I'll tell you. One other guy

(19:33):
who can't wait for it is tonight's guest on the program.
Ladies and gentlemen are going to bring him in right now.
This is a player who has twelve league titles to
his name in the Fantasy Football Players Championship, He's looking
to add some more this year, including but not limited
to winning the million dollars in the FFPC made event.
You can watch him draft on this year channel on

(19:55):
YouTube when we cover the Pros Versus Joe's drafts coming
up in about a month or so. Uh you follow
him on the X at j Camp two three two three.
Please welcome into the program tonight the Pros Versus Joe's
drafter himself, mister Jason Camp. Jason, good evening, Thanks for
joining us.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
I appreciate it. Guys.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
How are you we're doing? Good man? How pumped are
you or to find out that you were selected as
a Joe and Pros Versus Joe's this year? Oh it was.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
Awesome and uh, you know you can tell and you
know my history. I've been with the FFPC for a
long long time and uh, watching this, I was like,
hey man, when am I going to get my number?
But uh, it finally came up. So it's, uh, it's
great because you know, I know, I compete against some
of these guys in some of the high stakes as
it is, so it's it's uh, it's nice seeing it.

(20:42):
I haven't been able to go out to Vegas yet,
so I'm kind of out of far over in Kentucky
and I'm when I'm doing my draft, uh, you know,
the live drafts and those guys are out there and
some of the high stakes and all that, but playing
for the million dollars in the main event, you know,
it's it's awesome. So I'm really pumped to do this,
uh next month. It's it's gonna be awesome.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, it will be fun when you are and I
think I know what you're talking or what you're going
to say here, but I want you to open this up.
When you're not winning all these FFPC leagues, what are
you doing for a living?

Speaker 5 (21:13):
Yeah, it's it's crazy. I kind of told you a
little bit offline. But I grew up in Miami and was,
you know, a huge fan from there, went to the
University of Florida and actually had eighteen years in professional sports.
I worked for the Marlins for three years right at
their inception.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Of work, and you got and you got the ring
right the World Series I did.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
I got a World Series ring in ninety seven with
those guys coming right out as an unbelievable experience. And
then I worked for the Dolphins and helped produce the
Super Bowl in nineteen ninety nine. Then I went over
to the Panthers and helped them build and open that
new arena that they just won their second Cup in.
So they didn't they hardly won at all when I
was there, but you know, it's it was great to

(21:56):
see him win for a second time. And then I
was actually on the PGA Tour as a tournament director
for a long time. And then I kind of stepped
away from sports after that and wanted to be a
dad and raised my kids and coach football and baseball
and all that kind of stuff. So I kind of
opened my own event firm, and you know, but I've
been doing fantasy football since I was sixteen years old.

(22:17):
And you know, I drafted Michael Irvin in nineteen eighty
eight and his rookie year, and that's how long it
goes back. So back in the day, guys, you remember
when you were pulling out the newspaper and writing it
all down on a little sheet of paper and doing
your own calculations in those home leagues. So it's from
there to what I'm doing now with you guys. It's

(22:37):
it's been a great run. And you know this, this
is my hobby. You know we I kind of mentioned before.
I am in Kentucky, over in Ashton on the other
side from from Louisville, and my wife and I bought
a dead mall and turned it into an entertainment district
and it's going great. So we're you know, changing a
bunch of bunch of different stuff over there. We got

(22:59):
a casino movie theater Melbou Jackson. It's great, but fantasy
football is my escape in my getaway.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
So if we can, if we can promote this a
little bit. I went to camp landing dot com to
check this out. When I saw it, Wow, I was
blown away. Like all the stuff that's going on at
that place. You got mini golf, movie theater, you have
just like this massive arcade. You got everything going on there.

(23:27):
I was at that is a that is a pretty
cool operation camp landing dot com for any and I'll
put the link in the in the chat here, so
anybody can check that out. And then what is tapasports
dot Com.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
So that that's something that we created. It's basically a
golf simulator bar. So we've got eight HD sports suites,
not only where you can play the top golf courses
of the world, but you can play baseball, football, kickfield goals,
strikeout batters, hockey, soccer. So it's a whole interactive, uh
sports bar. But I also have a pour my beer

(23:59):
tap wall where you go in and get your r
id card or brace it and then go down the
line and just try all the sampling wall and we
kind of combine those two technologies together and it's the
first time we've seen it, but it's our own brand
and something we came up with. So tap that sports
dot com. Go check it out and get some of
our shirts and hats. And you know, we're looking expanding

(24:20):
and opening one in Nashville with my buddy Roy Lake
that I used to work with with the Marlins. So
we're gonna put another location down there in Nashville where
it's all happening, So looking at other cities to go
and build them. So it's it's great people come out
for this.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Do they ever go home? Do you get rid of
home when they come?

Speaker 5 (24:40):
I mean, well, there's there's a casino there also, and
there's a horse. So we're building an indoor sports complex
because we wanted to have some more court space for
the youth to play, you know, junior basketball and volleyball
and all that kind of stuff as a way to
give back. So it's honestly, it's a dream come true
for me to do something like that, this with my

(25:01):
wife and put it all together and bring something back
to the community. So we only bought the dead mall.
Let's see, it was just four years ago, July fifteen,
and we've been able to build it up to where
it's it's almost completely full. So it's it's been a
great run.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Does it sounds like it would be the perfect location
for a satellite draft from the Kentucky Fantasy Football State Championship?
What do you think of it?

Speaker 5 (25:25):
Sounds I absolutely agree with you it. Actually, we're gonna
we're gonna put take some of those simulators because you know,
we'll put on we'll play the super Bowl on, you
can play sports and all that. And they're the huge
seventeen foot wide twelve foot tall screens and uh, we're
actually going to host Fantasy Football League, so you can
come in there in your own private room, have the
tap wall, beer wall, and actually draft on the big screen,

(25:48):
kind of like your own draft war headquarters.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
I can already see Balky that we're gonna have to
slow things down here and to negotiate the word exclusive.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
You could do that, or I mean we already got
kf FFC in Louisville. We have k f F S
at Northern Kentucky, now kf f C in Eastern Kentucky.
Like we can make it happen. We can make it well.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
I tell you what, you haven't been to Las Vegas.
And you're the one UH player who's come on the
come on the show that I think we can give
a pass to for not being able to come live Walkie.
With this schedule that this man has, can we give
him a pass? I'm not showing up live. I think
we can't, but.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
I think he wants to come back.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
You've accommodated your you know you You've you've let us
know that you're spending your time wisely. Now you can
answer this question properly. You should come to Las Vegas.
You should come to Kentucky and you should come everywhere
fantasy football is being played, because I think this is
the biggest mystery in sports this year. Aaron Rodgers to Metcalf,

(26:52):
Can you see it happening?

Speaker 5 (26:54):
It's uh, I'll tell you what. You know, how Rogers
is he's gonna he picks his targeting rows the ball
just when he you know, stuffs those targets to to
DeVante Adams. I think he's going to do the same
thing with Metcalf because he doesn't have a choice, right.
I mean it's you look at the talent level from
a wide out perspective, and I'm a huge DK Metcalf fan,

(27:15):
and I know he's a little sloppy on his route running,
but the guy is a beast, right. I mean the
way he can run, the way can out muscle everybody.
And what I love about Metcalf is his attitude. He
wants the ball, he wants to win. He never gives
up it. I mean, they can be down twenty and
he's going to go and get a fistfight with a
cornerback to go and win that.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
True.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
You know, That's the kind of guys that I love,
is they they want to be out there and whether
they're getting paid a dollar or ten million, and Metcalt's
one of those guys. So you know, Pittsburgh, it's a
tough city, it's a great city. I think they're going
to embrace the way he plays football. And you know, yes,
he's not going to get you know, a huge amount

(27:57):
of targets, but I think, you know, the way he
doesn't have much competition for targets there, He's gonna get enough.
And you know the way I've been getting him in
the fourth or fifth round. That's a guy to tie
on my list that I really like it to go
out there and you know, be that value in the
mid mid rounds.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
So I want to ask you about another receiver here too,
and that's Jordan Addison. I've kind of made up my
mind that I am in on the Vikings offense this year.
In fact, I was talking last night on the Insider
Access show and Better Sports Network with Dan Williamson and
he's a Minnesota guy, and I said, I think I'm
pretty much in on every Minnesota player this year except
for Aaron Jones. I'm a little bit nervous about him.

(28:37):
But Mason Hockinson Jefferson Addison McCarthy. Yes, I will take
those guys, and I want to focus in on Addison
for this question because I think some people are nervous
about him being the number two wide out and maybe
not even the number two target on a team that's
featuring a rookie quarterback in JJ McCarthy. There's also the

(29:00):
possibility of suspension. I look at both those things as
buying opportunities for Addison right now, and I've been taking them,
maybe to my own detriment, but I've been taking him.
How do you feel, Jason, about Jordan Addison and drafts
this year. I'll give you the mojo on him right now.
Jordan Addison, on average in the Big Gorilla over the
last three days is going as wide receiver thirty eight

(29:20):
at the seven oh six.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
I'll tell you what. I love Addison as a player
from a talent standpoint, and you hit the nail on
the head. Minnesota is one of the teams I target
across the board, and the reason why is because I
love Kevin O'Connell. You know, the dude's gonna throw the ball.
He's an offensive genius. When you can put Sam Darnold
in a position to put up great fantasy football numbers.

(29:43):
Anybody's gonna do it. So I've got no worries about
JJ McCarthy and being able to get it down there,
because you look at the past with Nick Mullins and
all of the you know has beens and never was
that are play quarterback there. They still put up the
numbers in that offense. And to make it even better
is their defense stinks. I mean they have to throw
the ball. So you know, I'm with you on Aaron Jones.

(30:06):
I'm passing on him way too high. I'll take Jordan
Mason Hockinson. The thing with Addison, you know, I think,
like you said, Bulky, it's the value, right, if it's
low enough, you take it. What I do like about
Addison's you could take. You know, he's going to get suspended,
but it's probably going to be the first three games.
So if you get enough value on out Addison with

(30:28):
his talent, you get into the bye weeks and that's
when you're getting them back, right, So you might draft
four receivers in front of them and then you have Addison. Well,
once you get into those bye weeks, now you got
a fifth guy with a talent like that and around
with value that you would have never got before if
this suspension wasn't looming over. And you know, the guy
knows how to stiff the end zone. And you know,

(30:50):
for me, it's especially when you're playing in a tournament
like the Big Gorilla or the Main Event. You've got
to get those guys. Don't worry about you know, those
double You got to get the guys with the high
ceilings that can go off for one hundred and eighty
four yards and two or three touchdowns and win you
that championship, you know, I mean, getting the league championship
is one, and it's nice to put that money in

(31:12):
your pocket, but to really have a chance, you have
to hit those high ceiling guys as it comes together,
just like the guy who won the Main Event, right
who had Higgins and Burrow and they just went off
in the right week and there you go. He came
from a couple spots down and jumped right up and
won won the million dollars.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Oh go ahead.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
I just want to point out what Borgan Freeman is
pointing out in the YouTube chat right now, and while
I think he's right mostly with this, is when you're
talking about Addison missing a quarter of the FFPC regular season,
which he could, I think that that's that's usually smart
to bring up. However, to your point with UH, with

(31:51):
addison suspension, if it is at the start of the season,
which I think a lot of people think it is
going to be jj Zachereson from Late Round and then
Jared Smaller from Drasharks. They say this all the time.
The most fixable weeks, the most replaceable weeks that you
have in fantasy football are those first few weeks of
the season when everybody's healthy, mostly nobody's on by and

(32:14):
Addison right now is wide receiver thirty eight. I mean,
he could be your number four, perhaps even number five receiver.
So if I'm without Addison those first few weeks, yeah,
it's not ideal, but I can deal with it more
as opposed to if it was Drake London, or if
it was you know, Tyreek Hill or Puka Aku or
any of these guys that you're counting on for big production.

(32:36):
I'm not counting on much from Addison for the first
few weeks, which I think gets back to a whole
point here. Jason, then we're fine with the value of him.
If he's there or lower, We're fine with it. If
it gets a little bit higher than that, then yeah,
I'm borgan. I'm kind of with you at that point.
Go ahead for him.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Well, Bookerman Fraeman is coming in with something real strong there,
because Bunkie, what you gotta consider is that Addison just
may not walk back into lineup and start playing the
way he's always played. And that's the other thing when
the player's coming off of suspension. I want to roll
back to the first question. I want to be quick
about it because we've got a lot of good football
stuff we talked about. But you know, when people ask

(33:11):
me how I got in the sports business, I always
try to boil it down. And a lot of young
people's studying sports management and that type of thing in college.
What was your one break? And I'm fascinated about all
the different fields that you've worked in, but what was
the one break that led you into working in professional sports?

Speaker 5 (33:34):
Yeah, it's and it's a good question. And I actually
graduated with a business degree from Florida, not sports management
or anything like that. And you know, it's once you
get your foot in the door as an intern, you know.
And I started out interning with the Marlins, making eight
hundred dollars a month. I had to get into second
job just to be able to support myself for working

(33:54):
one hundred hours a week, you know, but I worked
at their spring training facility. I got some great exposure
and you know, the biggest thing, honestly is work ethic.
And Wayne Heisenga owned all three teams at the time
when I was there, So as a twenty two year old,
I got to meet mister Heisega and he saw how
hard I worked. So if you see my career, you know,

(34:17):
we went to the World Series. Wayne sold the team there.
He asked me to go over to the Dolphins and
get ready to the Super Bowl. After the Super Bowl,
he was building a new building and he had me
go over there. So it was really.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
You know, I mean, you make one key that the
key man in the organization saw your effort.

Speaker 5 (34:38):
That's exactly as a young kid, and you know, be
be the first one in the building last went out.
I mean, whether you're a player in the front office,
it's no different.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Right, So, well, you were a young guy. They did
it right from day one. Let's let's talk about a
guy in football that finally got it right last year.
He'd had some decent years, but he had his best
year last year. And Buonky knows the gentleman's name, but
the tight end whisper our only pro that really got
anything right. Last year's our only tight end whisperer came

(35:07):
on and totas Hunter Henry was a great bargain. And
Hunter Henry goes out and has his best year catching
the football. Is that going to hold this year? Especially
with the wide receivers. I think that the addition of Diggs,
the young player, Williams and everyone seems to be high
on coming in that that that type of coverages that

(35:29):
they will draw could allow Hunter Henry to have another
big catch year. What do you think?

Speaker 5 (35:34):
Yeah? And Hunter, you know, Hunter Henris is one of
those guys that I have leaned on through fantasy football
ever since he was a rookie back in the day
with the Chargers, just because of the talent and his
past catching ability to go over the middle, and you know,
he's just solid and it's one of those guys that
we talked about. You know, he's not going to be

(35:54):
the triple and home run guy, but he's a single
and double all day long. And I think with Drake
May still being a young quarterback, you know, a veteran
that he knows he can throw the ball to underneath,
and a guy who's gonna break a few tackles and
you know, he's got him. And I think Stefan Diggs
is gonna take a little bit of that away that
you know, is kind of safety blanket for him. But

(36:15):
you know, other than that, really I'm not impressed with
the rest of the talent around there, you know. I mean,
you got obviously got Douglas. You got a bunch of
young guys who really haven't done much. You know, I'm
a huge fan of Drake May, the way he can
run and just make plays happen, But I'm not gonna
take a whole lot of them, even though you can
get him, you know, I mean, he's still available in
the big Gorilla or he just went i think in

(36:37):
the twelfth or thirteenth round. But you know, there's other
guys like Trevor Lawrence out there, and you know, talking
about quarterbacks, it's the value on quarterbacks this year, in
these early drafts are like none I've ever seen. You
were just talking about Patrick Mahomes going in the eighth
right he went in the eight to nine. In this gorilla,
I'm in the slow draft right now. I got Kyler

(36:59):
Murray at the eleven point seven. That's ridiculous. I mean,
you know, I kept waiting on a waiting on him.
Then I was just like, you know, I was planning
on taking back and Kyler Murray was there there eleven seven.
I was like, well, I got to grab him. But
back to your point at Hunter Henry, I think he's
going to put up another solid year. Maybe not as
many catches, but you know, if you've got a guy,

(37:21):
he's not going to be my first tight end, but
you know, as another tight end, or if you're juggling
to tight ends, you know a guy is gonna have
sixty sixty five catches for you know, sixty seven hundred
yards and you know he's going to get five to
seven touchdowns and you can bank on that every year.
And that's hard to be to the tight end position.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
Monkey was Darren say about Hunter Henry?

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Yeah, Hunter Henry. Right now, as as far as tight
ends go, over the last three days in the Big Gorilla,
you're looking at tight end twenty one, so comfortably a
backup tight end almost a tight end three at this point,
and you if you want to draft him, it's he's
going to cost you a twelve round pick. He's going
at that twelve thirteen turn.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
So, which is essentially where he was last year before
he had the best year he ever had. Correct.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah, And obviously Diggs and Kyle Williams and Adam Hahn
in YouTube mentions Kaisehan Booty who I don't know if
it is a lock to make the team, but we
know the talent is there as well. Jason, the Cowboys backfield,
let's play a little multiple choice, have some fun here tonight.
If I said, Jason, what's the ideal way to handle
the Dallas Cowboys backfield this year? Would you say, A,

(38:25):
It's drafting Javonte Williams in the ninth round. B, it's
drafting Jaden Blue in the tenth round. C, it's drafting
Miles Sanders in the sixteenth round, D Phil Maffa in
the twentieth or E. None of the above avoided completely?
What would you answer to that question on how to
properly handle Cowboys running backs in twenty twenty five?

Speaker 5 (38:47):
I'll tell you what. So my choice is E unless
I really need running back in the tenth round and
then it's gonna be a and take Javonte Williams, you know,
And that's one of the guys I've taken, but you
know I'm taking him as my fourth or fifth running back.
And you know, in that Grilla league like I talked about,
you know, I have actually those guys. I've got four

(39:08):
thousand yard rushers who've got a good chance at it,
and you know Jamonte Williams is one of them. So
you know there's so much value there at running back
in that. You know, for me, I like to do
hero r B. Get one workhorse if I can, or
I'll skip on it, and then I'll take one in
the mid round and then you know, I'll go seven, eight, nine,
ten all running backs if I need to. But I've

(39:30):
got four or five really solid wide receivers, you know,
going back to Addison B maybe my fifth wide altum.
So I'm happy to build a roster from that, you
know standpoint. And I know you know this guy is
saying everybody loves Blue because everybody loves the shiny new penny.
They can't block, right, they can't pass block, and you

(39:51):
don't love Blue anymore. And I'm not saying he can't,
but you know that there how many rookies come in
with you know that there they think they're gonna do something,
but they just either can't pick up the playbook or
they can't pass block, and then all of a sudden,
you know, I mean, I think any running back you
get after the eleventh round is you know, it's it's
a shake. You're not counting on him to really bank

(40:11):
your whole roster on. It's really those guys that you
can hit, like you know, Trey Benson last year. Some
of those guys that you're an injury away or Isaac
Grenda that can really win you something.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Blue is.

Speaker 5 (40:23):
But I don't see Blue ever being a workhorse.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Yes, well you like that Dallas backfield though, you're you're.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
My thing on the Dallas backfield. It's super cheap right now.
They can't throw every down. I don't think they may
try to, but but some there's gotta be some value there.
And and you heard it from Jason camp here tonight.
Well you're taking the Jayden Blue, the shiny new penny
that everybody loves. He has taken that beat up old
dusty quarter in Javonte Williams and plugging him in his

(40:52):
lineup when he has to in the Big Gorilla this season,
which jameson, I'm.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Making a lot of the same moves you are. Why
they hell are not winning that? You're right, that's what
I have. I only like to have that question, do
you well?

Speaker 5 (41:04):
And honestly, I think Dallas as much like I feel
like it's Minnesota right, the defense isn't nearly where it
was before. I'll take Prescott, I'll take Lamb, I'll take
pick Ins, I'll take Ferguson. You know, I'll take all
those guys because and barring injury, Deck's gonna throw for
five thousand yards because he has to. They're gonna be
down and have to throw every single game. So I'm

(41:25):
all over Minnesota and Dallas, and you know they might
only win seven games, but there he's gonna throw for
five thousand yards.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
What you guys are talking about running backs? Young running backs?
Last year? Where funky? Do you recall? Because there was
a lot of heat on Blake Corey. Remember Karen Williams
was basically going to show him the door and they
were gonna give the job to Blake Coral. Am I
overstating that no, you're not, because I think a lot

(41:54):
of well, I mean, if you if you remember back
to last year, there was a lot of Kiren Williams
non believers last year, right and Iron Williams non believer.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
You were gonna pump up Blake Korm. Now I can
tell you going into the Thursday Night game, the opening
Thursday Night game in the FFPC main event last year,
Blake Koram was whoops, I gotta spell his name right
in order for Mojo to get this. By the way,
there's another great thing about Fantasy mojo dot com. You
can look at ADPs from previous years. Blake Korm was

(42:23):
running back thirty six. He was going in the ninth round. Okay,
so he was a single digit running back last year
coming in as a rookie, and he may or may
not have been hurt at the time. I don't remember
if he was hurt in the preseason, but that would
have been another thing that was probably driving him down.
But he was still a ninth round pick last year.
Farrell three point six yards of carry. He had a
big breakout game against the Saints when he rushed for

(42:44):
forty two yards and he had two other games that
he rushed for double digit yard. I mean it was
it was a rough year from mister Kor.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
And no touchdowns. You know, he was going to be
a beast. He was going to steal all the gold
one touches, no touchdowns for corem does that? Does what
he did last year make you if you are going
to be with the Karen Williams do what he did
last year? Are you going to look for another running
back to handcuff with the Rams or do you think

(43:13):
coorm was just growing pains and he will emerge during
this sophomore year.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
I've actually never been a Quorum fan. You know, I
don't well. One thing that I look at is, you know,
I just I watched these guys play and I do
my own talent evaluation, and honestly, I was never impressed
with him in college, you know, to I think he
was good in the system, but you had a guy

(43:40):
like Williams and I got a lot of Williams and
I love taking another round and have discount because everybody
love Korum and all the talk was about Korum, you know.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
And him coming in.

Speaker 5 (43:48):
But listen, coaches want to win and they're going to
put the best talent on the field. And yes, Williams
has had some fumbling issues and all that, but he
is produced. And you don't take a guy like all
that off the field when you did win and games
are on the line and put in a rookie. Again,
there's pass blocking, there's a lot of things that you
got to do to stay on the field, and it's

(44:09):
not easy to be in a rookie in the NFL.
So I'm happy for guys to you know, be all
over blue and be all over all these other guys
and leave those veterans who keep producing to me on
values and get them at you know, around or around
and a half discount. Now I say that, but I
will say I do like Chuckles Hunter this year for

(44:31):
the Rams because I think he is the real deal.
And you know, he was drafted there for a reason.
If you saw in their war room, they really wanted him.
So I do think he's got some shine. But right
now in my grilla league, I'm coming up in the
thirteenth round and I'm either going to take Marshall Lloyd
or Hunter, you know, and again they're gonna be my

(44:53):
sixth running back, you know, in the thirteenth round. So
I'll take those guys all day long to fill in,
and if they hit, they hit, and it's it's greater
I get some injuries to Derrick Henry or some of
the other guys on my roster, but you know, that's
where I like to pick up those values of guys
who can hit or they're they're catching out of the backfield,
and if not, you drop them for somebody else. You know,
in week three or four.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
For forty seven minutes in the show, Bulky, forty seven
minutes in the show, and Jason just said something that
you shouldn't have been said. You know, Derrick Henry an
injury in the same sentence. I know, just ridiculous, but hey,
you got back.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
We have used it in the in the same sentence
before it, but it's usually like, oh, this guy got
an injury trying to tackle Derrick Henry. That two terms together.
So I want to talk about Anthony Richardson. This is
good because you're you're you're a Florida guy with the
big gorilla. I think a viable strategy would be to

(45:51):
take uh in early round, like an elite, a top
five quarterback right and then ignore the position until late
and then draft in Athony Richardson and no harm, no
follow if he doesn't if he doesn't pan out, if
he's not the starter week one, and you're in a pinch,
you could probably move on from him if you wanted to.
But I just feel like the upside of Richardson, not

(46:14):
necessarily from an NFL standpoint, but from a fantasy standpoint.
I feel like he's slipping too far in drafts right now.
How have you handled how have you been handling him
in your drafts? Have been getting him late and you've
been ignoring him? What do you think is going to
happen this season for Richardson?

Speaker 5 (46:30):
Bucky? There's no way I could ignore Anthony Richardson. He
ar is the guy, and again you know watching him
at Flora and listen, I will not say he is
not the best passer. And I have hope, kind of
like Kyle Pitts, that at some point in time, these
guys are gonna get it because they have all the
talent in the world. And I mean just from it's
getting back to our ceiling conversation, right, you know, Daniel Jones,

(46:55):
he will be fine for the team as you know,
basically a game manager. But from a fans. I want
nothing to do with Daniel Jones. He'll never be on
any my rosters. But to my point, Richardson's almost free now.
He has fallen so far, but he's still down on
that bottom where he could I mean, does anybody on

(47:15):
this call think he couldn't be a top five quarterback
if he wins the job and plays just okay as
a passer. You know, he's got more weapons with Tyler
Warren and I mean with Pitton and Josh Pittman and
Josh Downs and all of those guys. He's got talent
all around him. He just has to start hitting those
touch passes. I mean, he's got this, you know, one
of the strongest arms in the league. He has all

(47:37):
of the tools there, and if it just starts clicking
for him, I mean, again talk about league winners. And
I don't care if you have you know, Patrick Mahomes
or anything else. I mean, I'll tell you right now.
I told you I got Kyler Murray at the eleven seven.
I'm absolutely taking Richardson in three or four rounds when
he's still there, and he should be because there's seven
good quarterbacks, including Trevor Lawrence, and you know, he got

(48:00):
two and all that, and with Murray, I don't need
any of those guys. It's like I might punt and
just have Murray because there's gonna be there's gonna be
guys on the waiver wire that are solid picks for
that by week eight that Arizona's on a buy. But
Richardson actually has a great matchup in that week eight also,
so I'm gonna grab him if he's still there in
those rounds. And to me, it's just crazy somebody doesn't

(48:21):
take it at that lottery ticket.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
Farrell. You know, I think our good buddy Twupacker has
dubbed Trevor Lawrence Sunshine, which was the nickname of the
quarterback Ronnie Bass in the Disney movie Remember the Titans.
He called him Sunshine because of his looks. I think
the true Sunshine in the NFL might be Anthony Richardson.
As Denzel Washington put it so eloquently in that movie,

(48:46):
he could throw the ball a country mile, but he
couldn't make that little pitch to the running back. Richardson
just struggles with that little touch. He might be the
real Sunshine from a physical standpoint in the NFL too,
But if he can ever figure that out? Yeah, wheels
up Richardson. And because so many people got burned on
him in the past, myself included, there's gonna be a
lot of people that will just be like, yeah, I'm

(49:07):
done with Richardson, I'm not touching him again, which makes
him an interesting buy right now and could make him
an interesting buy later on in this season or maybe
after the twenty twenty five season as well. Just my
two cents on Anthony Richardson. As long as we're talking
about him, I want to talk pros versus Joe's. Here
Pharrell with with one of the Joe's this year, Jason

(49:28):
Camp initials JC the same as Jesus Christ. Is he
the savior for the Joes this year? The Joe's need
no savior. But if they were going shopping one, this
is who we.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
Would come up with. You know, you show up against
the pros, you're guaranteed sixth place. So you know what
you've got to do is tell us what your strategy
is to beat the other.

Speaker 5 (49:50):
Joe's, Yeah, and then write it down and use it
against me. Right Well, I mean, you know, from a
strategy perspective, and leg I said, I don't think it's
any different, you know, I think we're all kind of
on a level of playing field. I know the pros
think that, you know differently, But from my standpoint, it
all depends on that draft position of how I'm gonna play.

(50:11):
You know where it goes to me. I don't go
in with a certain spot. If I know where I'm
I'm drafted, whether I'm going to go that workhorse running
back and then fill it in with you know, four
or five wide receivers right after that. If you know
one of those top four quarterbacks falls to me, like
I've seen, you know, some of these guys with Jalen
Hurts and you know, I'm a huge Jayden Daniels fan,

(50:33):
and you can match him up with Terry McLaurin, or
you know, I really like Deebo. Same thing. I think
he's fallen too far for the talent that he has.
Going on a Washington team that's gonna score a ton
of points. I think there's a lot of opportunity there,
So you know me, ideally, I'd like to go workhorse
and then a bunch of wide receivers right around it
if I can get those. But you know, if somebody

(50:55):
split in the backfield. Then I'll wait and you know,
maybe your first guy is is Kenny Walker or one
of those guys in that fifth or sixth round where
I think he's got some upside. But then, like I said,
that's seven through eleven, I'll take all those running backs
that I think, like Javonte Williams that can hit, and
you know, these guys are still gonna, you know, still

(51:16):
have a chance of being thousand yard rushers or one
injury away from getting there. And really, you know, Pat
and Dan Ballea said, the quarterback value right now is
kind of crazy. You know that even the top guys
are falling into the third, fourth round. There's there's big
opportunities there. It's it's been an interesting year in the

(51:37):
early draft, to be honest.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Yeah, that's why that big gorilla is so much fun.
And you know you're you're letting out your secrets and
you know everybody's got a secret weapon at home, a bulky.
I wanted to give a shout out to uh Bill
Hollywood and I who's not in the chat, but the
shout out doesn't go so much to Bill as it
does his brother Dave. And there there's there's Bill Get

(52:00):
and Dave, the older brother is sitting at home stirring
up all the ADPs, and we might, uh, we might
get him down in Louisville this year if he can
hop in, if he can hop in with old Hollywood.
I look, I love your strategy. What would it do
for you if you want it? If you won the
pros versus Joes? Where would you set that trophy?

Speaker 4 (52:24):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (52:24):
Man, do you see this right here?

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Here?

Speaker 5 (52:28):
For every single one of my conference calls, when I'm
calling Raising Keynes and those guys to come to Camp Landing,
they would see my trophy right here automatically know I
was a winner.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
We have a question on on YouTube. We're gonna go
to Racy. I don't think we've talked about him in
all in the program tonight, but he wants to know
our thoughts on DeAndre Swift this year. And Jason, I
think this is a player that I just fully expected
him to sort of lose his job or at least
lose his role in the draft this year, and it

(53:00):
never happened. We've heard the stories of people pontificating whether
the Bears were trying to get a replacement for him,
but that player just would always get picked right before
they were ready to pick, and so they end up
with Kyle Manongai in the seventh round. Who's in all right,
He's a fine running back out of Rutgers, nothing special,
at least in my opinion. So it seems like Swift

(53:21):
it's still his job and he's still had a Roshan Johnson.
If we look at the mojo on DeAndre Swift right
now in the Big Gorilla, over the last three days,
we're seeing him as running back twenty four at the
six oh six. This has gradually ascended since the end
of the draft, in which a lot of people think
he survived it. But Jason, do you think he survived it?
Do you think that it's still his job? Do you

(53:44):
think that they'd still look at adding somebody later on
in the season, I don't know, later on in the offseason,
or is it just wheels up for Swift in this
offense run by Ben Johnson this year?

Speaker 5 (53:54):
Yeah. I mean, for me, I'm not a huge believer
in Swift, and I think the organization has done way
too much to not give me confidence that he is.
You know, I think there could be you know, a
high value trade of just you know, a six or
seventh round pick, and you get more of a veteran
in there. You know, you signed some of those guys,

(54:17):
you know, just like Kareem Hunt last year, right, those
guys getting on teams where they know what to do,
they can get the hard yards. I mean Swift's spine
and honestly, in that sixth round it's not terrible. You know,
for me, he would have to be in the seventh
or eighth for me to look at him there, just
because I don't believe. You know, also with all the

(54:38):
past pass catchers and with Luther Burdon and with Loveland
going in there, I think they're gonna let Caleb you know,
throw a little bit more and I think he's gonna
have a little more structure under the new coaching system
that they have there. So you know, I love what
they have going on through the air, and you know,
it's just one of those I think Swift is a

(54:59):
game manager, right, He's not gonna win you a lot
of games. So going back to in leagues like this,
you need those guys that, you know, are you ever
gonna see Swift do one hundred and forty yards and
catch eight passes in a game and two touchdowns no,
and so so you know I normally will just pass
on swift. I don't believe it. And I am taking

(55:20):
you know, Managai and Roshawn Johnson, just because you know,
again looking in those back teen rounds, you know what's
what's the loss. It's okay taking the risk there.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Farrell, I'm gonna in the interest of time here and
and uh, Jason, I exchanged a few emails. I know
that this could be a lengthy discussion for this final question,
so let's set it up with this final question for
Jason tonight.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
All right, final question. And before we do that, uh,
you know, Caleb Williams could get the Esquire magazine first.
But there was a great, great question coming here from
BAK Sports Cards in America. But I digress. One of
the one of the most important things you said tonight
is I do my own valuation. Thank you for that.

(56:04):
Thank you that is. And I can tell you watch
a lot of college football, so you know a lot
of these players, and you know a worthy That's when
you tell me a player you don't like it, it
has some meaning. It doesn't it says you're not necessarily
holding a grudge against that player. For past fantasy football disappointments.

(56:26):
So give me somebody that's not going to be on
your squad, and then give us someone perhaps the best
sleeper you can that someone should go out and roster
in their twenty round draft.

Speaker 5 (56:40):
So a couple of guys that you won't really fight
on my roster unless they fall so far. And I
know they won'ted any of my things, you know, Rashie Rice,
and I know a lot of people are on them.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
You know.

Speaker 5 (56:52):
For me, it's it's kind of getting back to the
Addison discussion. There's certain guys in the NFL who just
find trouble right and Rice has done it, whether it's
injury or behavior or those kind of things. And for me,
I don't like taking the risk that mid season the

(57:12):
guys out at a party does something wrong and he's
gone for the rest of the year, or he's got
negative media which is going to bring his performance down.
And listen, and I'll again, Dolphins are great. You know,
I grew up there. My dad was a season ticket
holder from the inception. But Tyreek Hill getting arrested and
put on the ground, and you know he didn't have

(57:32):
a great year, and you know, Tyreek finds trouble. He
always has from college all the way on. So for me,
there's plenty of guys out there, and I'll take the
Jayden Daniels, who's a good dude in Los's mama and
you know, says all the right things and honestly just
is in love with football and is not worried about

(57:53):
the other side outside of the stadium that might get
him in trouble. I mean, why take a guy like
Rice when I can take other players that are going
to put up the same numbers. And then you look
at you know, there's a lot of pass catchers in Casey, Yes,
so you know with Xavier Worthy and you still got
Kelsey and you know, Noah Gray's got some serious talent.
You know, if Kelsey's taking breaks and you know Hollywood

(58:16):
Brown and you know it, he's far from the one
guy like DK Metcalf that's going to get thirty percent
of the target. So I know he's a good talent,
but he's a guy I'm not going to take.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
And here's a question for you, a follow up question.
How many years do you think we will continue to
say they still have Kelsey? You know, that's that's that's
a quote.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
And then we're like, we're a decade away from that,
we're decada after being done with it.

Speaker 5 (58:40):
Well, I think it's whatever Taylor Swift tells him that
he's done.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
Oh no, I'll bring this up to I know you're
off of Brandon Ayuk. I know you're off of Alvin Kamara.
What I really want to do here for a real
granded old question to close it out, who do you
like best between Darnell Mooney, Cedric Tillman, and Jacoby Myers
this year?

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Oh that's easy.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
Not for Jason.

Speaker 5 (59:06):
Yeah, well it's if we were looking at straight stats,
it would be Jacoby Myers. But what round I'm taking
him in? Honestly, it's it's Mooney or Tilman. It's it.
They're right there because you saw what Tilman could do
when give him the chance, until he got hurt and
had that concussion. You know, again, a team that's going

(59:28):
to be down a lot. Although they have a good defense,
they don't have much else. You know, they've got the
rookie running back coming in. So I'm taking Tilman in
a lot of drafts because you know where you're taking
him in the fourteenth, fifteen, sixteenth. That's hard to beat.
You know, Mooney's going actually just took him in the gorilla,
I think in the eleventh. You know, that's great value there.

(59:50):
And I really like Jacobe Myers. You know he's he's
going to be super solid, but you got to grab him.
And you know what seventh eighth, you know, so to me,
that all goes back to value. All take some of
those other guys in the seventh and eighth and still
take Mooney in the tenth or Tillman, you know in
the thirteenth, Pharao, who.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Would you say, since you said it was easy.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
I'm I'm I've always loved Mooney's skill set and last
year sixty four catches one thousand yards five tds, he
finally hit it. So I under those set of numbers,
I would I would probably lean Mooney because you know,
we've talked about the fact that we don't know if
the Raiders can support a first round running back, a

(01:00:32):
second round tight end, and a seventh round receiver.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
True, that's very true.

Speaker 5 (01:00:38):
And Pennix, you know, I mean Penix is going to
throw the ball, and you know he's on my list,
paired up with Murray because in the bye week eight
Atlanta's hosted Miami, and Miami's secondary is going to be
one of the worst in the league. So you know,
target that every chance you can get in those shootout
games with Miami. And you know, so, speaking of one
of the guys I love you mentioned, I think Wattle

(01:01:00):
has fallen way too far down the way they're gonna
have to throw the ball all the time, and where
he's going in drafts. Now, that is one of the
biggest values on the board, not only with his talent
level what they signed me to a contract, the way
two is able to throw the ball and with McDaniel's offense,
but same thing, Tyreek Hill could be traded, he could

(01:01:22):
be hurt. I mean, you know, I mean all of
that talk about Tyreek Hill getting traded, Say he gets
traded tomorrow. Where's Wattle going in the next day's drafts.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
Yeah, third round on top of.

Speaker 5 (01:01:34):
The third and you're getting him, you know, way late.
It's just he's fallen just way too far.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
I think the thing with Wattle is I was drafting
him early on, and I feel bad about it because
I've been one of the people that are letting him slip.
And I just looked at his ADP for the Big Grill.
Of the last three days, he has fallen to Chris Olave,
Jerry Judy, Juwan Jennings, Romo Dunese Territory. Jalen Wattle is
wide receiver five in the seventh round of the Big Gorilla.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
Right now there is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
Say what you could hate the Miami Dolphins offense and
still like that ADP there.

Speaker 5 (01:02:09):
Exactly, that's that's value eight number one. So he's one
of the guys that I'm targeting that far. That's just
that's nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
So and and Borgan Freeman, it points us out. He's
disappointed him too many times, too many times. Good luck.
I get it, like I've been burned by players before.
I try to wash and cleanse myself of that every year.
So I drudge exactly. I'm trying to like just have
all that stink off me from the previous season, and
I want to come in fresh and look at it fresh.

(01:02:37):
But you know, you're not paying the premium that you
were paying in the past when Waddle burned you. You're
paying seventh round.

Speaker 5 (01:02:44):
You mentioned de Chris Olave disappoint you, you know, I
mean it's like everybody around Watall they all disappoint during
the seventh round for a reason, right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
Yeah, PI won't disappoint you. And he's in the eleventh round.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Gosh, I got it in.

Speaker 3 (01:03:02):
We only have a minute left to the show.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
We we we contractually obligated to praise Michael Pittman at
least once during every program, so we got it in.
It's like a live read, right Pharaoh that we just
have to get it in. We have to wedge it
in somehow, And it's always tough when you had a
great guest like Jason camp tonight, the twelve time FFPC
League winner, a guy who's going to be drafting live
on these airwaves in about a month for the FFPC

(01:03:24):
Pros versus Joe's Challenges. He's going for a free FFPC
main event team in twenty twenty six, but before that,
he wants to go for the million bucks in the
twenty twenty five FFPC Main event. J Camp two three
