Today on jet Set Dynasty, wetalked Netflix's quarterback DeAndre Hopkins finally has a
home in the AFC East is theforefront of our division debates, the Bills,
the Dolphins, the Patriots, andthe Jets. Ready, let's go,
let's go, let's go. Wait, wait, let's go. Hello
(00:47):
everybody, Welcome back to jet SetDynasty Football. Brian Steyne and I'm JB.
And it's what July nineteenth. We'reit's gotten to the point. I
never do redraft rankings because in myhead, I've always like I'm not playing
like the who's better at this andlike who's a better player than this,
(01:10):
and who's a good value at thisround or anything. I'm playing the board
and the people I'm going against.So yeah, I always think rankings are
kind of for me at least,not really necessary because I'm just like,
oh, it could be all screwedup by one guy taking somebody higher than
expected, and I'm just like ortaking a sleeper that I had. So
(01:32):
I'm just like, I'm just kindof playing against the people who I'm with
and first of the board that's presentedto me. But I'm so football needy.
I like started one yeah, andI'm just like, I hate this,
always do it just because I thinkit's a good exercise, and just
like, all right, who amI higher on than most? Like who
is? Like you're talking about sleepers? Like, okay, I'm gonna highlight
(01:52):
a guy that I think that youknow I have too they have too low
or the and you know how theguy that I have too high, So
just to like really get a goodfield, like who my chance is?
What are my odds? Like?But yeah, I don't make hard rankings
like I'll like tear. Yeah,that's that's why tearing. Yeah, And
I won't ever be like, oh, I'm gonna be swapping Lamar Jackson for
Justin Herbert. But there are somegood values from me doing mocks this year,
(02:15):
man, like the amount of timesI've gotten Terry mclauren and like the
fifth round, I'm just like,this is idiotic. What are we doing
here? Sam We has Sam Howbut that's never a bad quarterback has never
stopped this guy before Samhow. Itmight be a different level of bad.
Although I did like Samhow but hadthat one good year yeah yeah in college
in college and then was what athird round, fourth round, round six
we'll see that he failed. Thatwas a big fall. Speaking of things
(02:40):
that dropped, Quarterback on Netflix dropped, I've yet to watch it. Yeah,
so I've finished it yesterday. Eightepisodes, I think all an hour
long. Yeah all yeah, theforty eight man, whatever it is.
I enjoyed it. I came awayliking Kirk Cousins a lot more than I
thought I would. I mean,it's crazy that like he he's literally just
like a normal dude, and Ican respect the hell out of that.
(03:02):
I love me some Perk Thugins becauseyou walk around and there's you know,
they're comparing Patrick Mahomes, who likethey show him building like he was.
They like showed him like episode likefive or six of like, oh yeah,
I signed this big contract. I'mhere for ten years or twelve years,
swever it is. I'm gonna buildthe house I want. And so
they show him like, oh yeah, this is me designing my house and
all this stuff. And at thevery end they show the house finished.
(03:23):
And then it's like Kirk Cousins isjust like he's sitting next to a fire
pit and he's like, oh god, my, you know, I gotta
burn on my favorite sweater. Thisis my favorite sweater. It's like,
bro, you should have fifty ofthose sweaters. Yeah, exactly. But
he's just like, oh no,man. And it's funny because even with
Mahomes' biggest contract, Kirk has tobe the highest net earning quarterback. I'm
(03:45):
pretty sure Kirk is the highest netplayer in history if you look at it
like as money already earned. Yes, definitely, without doubt. But yeah,
I liked it. The Mariota stuffwas strange. I forgot that he
like kind of left the team.Do you remember, Like did you remember
that the Titans or no, theFalcons, Like he got benched and then
(04:06):
like disappeared, and there was likestorylines of yeah, just quit on the
team and stuff like that. It'slike, well, he had a baby
the week he was benched. Nobodyknows that. Oh I didn't know that.
That's literally like like, that's atough band. He missed. They
showed it. He missed Monday's practicebecause his wife was in labor. And
(04:26):
then on Tuesday he came back inand was like and the coach was like,
we're going into direction of quarterback andand uh, it's it was just
crazy, like so different. Soit showed a point of like, Okay,
he was like, this is notwhat happened. I didn't abandon the
team, Like we just we don'tfigure it out. We're on the same
(04:47):
page. But it was cool howthey just kind of like set it up.
And then obviously the craziness that theVikings had this year, you know,
all those crazy comebacks, the biggestcomeback in NFL history, all that
stuff. It was a really cool, cool series and nice behind the behind
the back, we're behind the scenes. There's so many there's like the trend
going around on Twitter now it's justlike, oh this the twenty twenty two
(05:12):
season was so we had so manycrazy moments that we just kind of forgot
about. Yeah, oh yeah,I kind of That was one of them
I forgot about. Was the thirtythree to nothing come back from the Titans.
Yeah. I was just like,wait, I forgot they had to
drop forty and I have to wina game. That's why. Like Pat
Pete was there and they like showedhim going up to Kirk Cousins and be
like, I told you, it'sjust five touchdowns five and Cousins looks like
(05:38):
I was like, I couldn't tellif you were being sarcastic or not.
It's like okay, great, butno, you we were just talking about
this. Like watching it, you'llsee like, oh my god, Like
the mental side of the quarterback positionis unbelievable. Like the Kirk even said
(06:00):
at one point he was just likeyeah, I just blacked out and like
couldn't hear the couldn't hear the playcaller talk, couldn't do any of this,
Like it was it was crazy.It was really it was eye opening.
Kirk Cousins was doing this thing hehad like a brain thing. You'll
see it, but like basically whatit was doing is he strapped onto his
brain like magneto and like he waswatching a video, just like a random
video. But the thing was tokeep his focus. So if he started
(06:23):
losing focus, the device caused thescreen to dim and forced his brain to
refocus, and when he refocused,it would bring the light the brightness back
up. And it's like what acool thing to be, Like you're gonna
train your brain to be on Likethat's wow. Like we all, like
you said at work, you know, you get on a zoom call,
right and you just start, youknow, looking off. Maybe you know
(06:44):
what are we talking about? Butand it's like then everything just starts dimming.
It's like, nope, okay hegot dial back in so for golf
yea, But yeah, I didn'trecommend watching it. Curious to hear your
cut your thoughts on after you watchit. But yeah, that's probably on
my It's that and the bear.That's the two ones. I read the
bear sucks. I heard keep hearingthe bear's great. I heard the bear
(07:05):
was great, and then like Ihear all these people being like, can
we talk about how people are scaredto see the bear sucks? And I
was like, Okay, now Idon't know if I want to watch it.
I really want to see it.My effects show that I'm that I
highly recommend is what we do inthe Shadows. You love that show.
It's so have you watched a secondof it? I watched a little bit
of it. Need to watch allof it because it is great. Every
single episode was funny. Our buddyJudy will vouch for that. Him and
(07:28):
I watch it again, not together, but what we watch it every week.
And do you have a little gossipchat about it? Oh? Yeah,
he sends me the snap. Ireturn the snap. All is right
in the world. Speaking of rightin the world, one of the best
NFL receivers in the league has ahome again. DeAndre Hopkins is officially signed
with the Tennessee Titans, continuing hiscareer with mediocre quarterbacks and continuing the trajectory
(07:53):
of Titans just grabbing finish line andlike elite like historically elite receivers. So
the I don't want I'm not sayingDeAndre Hopkins is in the back end.
Well, he is in the backend. I'm not saying he's gonna be
finished like the trend has been.Yeah, I mean this is the definition
of buying high, Like he willstill perform this year, but like you're
(08:15):
not getting more than another year orwhatever out of him before it really starts
to take a big step back.Yeah. It was a two year contract
too, which I was kind ofsuprised. I was surprised about that too.
He figured it was gonna be aone year prove it. But maybe
he knows what he's doing. Butyeah, they it was kind of the
worst spot we wanted for him.Maybe you could argue that the Patriots would
have been worse, but Patriots wouldhave been more fun, would it.
(08:39):
Yeah, but they're just what we'regoing to talk about today. They're just
so far behind every one of theseteams. I'm not even sure if DeAndre
Hopkins would have helped. Honest togod, I don't know the last time
they had a top twelve wide receiverlike in fantasy for the Patriots. Edelman
maybe has to be Edelman, andI knew, maybe know if he ever
made it twelve. Jacobe Myers wasthere, but he don't think he ever
(09:01):
correcked the top twelve or even topten or whatever. But like it's been
a long time. I mean,Gronk was there, but Gronk don't count.
But yeah, it might actually beRandy or maybe even West like West
welcome. Yeah, I bet Edelmanwas, Yeah, I don't know.
It's it's kind of crazy. There'sthere's gotta be somebody who are like obviously
forgetting, but maybe there's not.But yeah, I'm what's his ADP right
(09:22):
now? It's like thirty fourth round. It's actually like bringing pretty low at
least in the ones that I've beendoing on ESPN. They don't even have
his like team updated yet. Soright now I'm looking at right now,
I'm looking at Fantasy pros right now, he's double check Yeah, wide receiver.
(09:43):
Excuse me, so he's wide receivertwenty two? Do you want to
play the game? Who would yourather? Sure? All right, So
I'll go a little bit above him. I'll go to Calvin Hurdley. It's
sixteens a lot. I'll drump downone. Keenan Allen, DeAndre Hopkins.
I think I still rather have KeenanAllen's close though, Mary Cooper Amari Cooper,
(10:05):
Yeah, I probably still agree,Deebo Samuel. I get scared off
of those, like of those guys, So I would take de Hoop,
Jerry Judy de Hoop, Christian Watson, de hop Yeah, absolutly. Now
we're getting to the point where you'reokay, yeah, Drake London, Oh,
Drake London. Uh, de hopYeah. These are were officially under
(10:26):
the DeAndre Hopkins. I thought youwere gonna continue. I thought you're gonna
change the train. When you saidDrake Lond, I was like, oh,
no, you're still asking if Iwant DeAndre Hopkins. Yes I do.
Yeah. And then Terry mclauren thatone's closed, that one's close,
but I'm still on the still train. That Terry mclauren's way too low on
these rankings. I would take scaredTerry over like all those guys you would
just you just said up until likemaybe Debo. Yeah, he's twenty wide
(10:48):
receiver twenty four. I think heshould be like right there with Keenan Allen.
Still, yeah, I agree,but yeah, it's it's fine,
it's man, it's not. Yeah, so I would argue he's Hawkins probably
should still be in the top twenty. I'm still a little bit not Calvin
Ridley being wide receiver sixteen on thislist is a little scary, a little
(11:09):
scary, So i'd probably take outhim, maybe even on like Debo or
Judy, and then put in DeAndreHopkins and Terry McLaurin. Yeah, I
agree. So, yeah, whatis that wide receiver twenty they get you
round three, round four. Yeah, I'm fine with that. Let me
too. I mean, I thinkthe upsides there for sure. I mean,
(11:31):
whether you have Ryan Tannehill or We'lllove Is playing, as long as
it's not Malik Willis. I've seenworse people throwing him the ball and him
being much more relevant. Agreed.All right, let's transition into the division
debate of the day. So we'regonna do the AFC East, So we
start at the top, as wealways do. The Buffalove Bills thirteen and
(11:54):
three last year. Obviously you gotJosh Allen, top two three quarterback in
the league. Not a whole lotof changes has happened with the Bills and
really hasn't been probably good reason.They probably could have still stood to upgrade
the wide receiver two a little bit. Gabe Davis is a little bit of
a disappointment, but I still thinkhe's a solid number two, especially for
(12:15):
that team. He's like a weird, weirdly good deep threat. But it's
a tough ask. It's a toughask to try to improve on someone who
is just is solid with the housestrapped they are for cash, with them
paying Alan, then paying Digs,then paying Von Miller, then paying Trey
White. So that's a tough oneto try to improve on, especially for
(12:39):
someone as cheap as Gabe Davis comesto their salary cap. Yeah, so
be Yeah, not a whole lotof changes for the Bills this year.
Yeah. I mean they brought inDamien Harris, which is probably the biggest
change on the offense, But Imean, I don't know, everybody loved
(13:00):
Damon Harris for a hot minute andthen no, I feel like he's not
getting any love right now. He'snot mainly because in my head, I
think this is a getting Damien Harrisis a really good move for the Buffalo
Bills. It's not super great forfantasy because that the Bills they did need
a runner that is actually going tobe a fishing in between the tackles that
his name isn't Josh Allen, DamienHarris is currently you want to take a
(13:24):
guess at where Damon Harrison it wasprobably sickening. Its probably RB fifty ABY
thirty seven, Okay, but that'sstill I mean, he's behind Somagi,
Perran, Khalil Herbert, Brian Robinson, Like, I mean, those are
all guys who are probably gonna startweek one for sure, gonna start week
one. Yeah, if Javonte Williamsisn't healthy, I didn't think that was
an option. I figured he wasgood to go. But this is one
(13:45):
of those things. Let's see DamienHarris just he finished last year was low
running back forty eight and PPR.Yeah, and the year before that it
was good, but he was verytouchdown reliance. Yeah, you're right.
I mean he finished running back eightI started running back fourteen in PPR leagues
with fifteen touchdowns, didn't even cracka thousand yards. And even I definitely
think they want to get Josh Allenaway from being the red zone back.
(14:07):
But if we keep talking about this, you're gonna hinder yourself in a way
of being a fishing in the redzone if you try to do that.
I get, let's not on firstand goal. Let's not try Josh Allen
first. Maybe save that from nextplayer, even third down, if we're
get desperate. Well, I thinkwhat's interesting. I mean, we talked
about it. Last year Josh Allenhad seven hundred and sixty three rushing yards.
(14:30):
Oh that's got to go down.He had seven seventy six this year.
Yeah, he's a very solid rushingcap. Yeah. I mean,
and on top of that, he'sgot he has feel thirteen touchdowns over the
last two years rushing too. Soit's hard to take that away. It's
it's the jail and hurts effect.It's like you when you can run a
(14:52):
read option or whatever QB power andyou know on short yardage, it's really
hard to stop that. So let'stalk about this from a fan to see
asspoint aspect, Where would you takeJosh Allen in a redraft league? That's
so hard. I'd say he probablyshould go in the second round. I
think him and Mahomes Boast should goin the second round. But as soon
(15:13):
as that third round opens, I'mlike, I'm trying to pound the table.
I'm like, gim me, gimme, gim me, gim me,
gi me, Like if there wastrades in redraft, I'd be trying
to trade. I can see that. But then I look at that and
I go, like we talked aboutit before, like there's a big drop
off like after really like after TrevorLawrence. So there's like eight good guys.
(15:33):
But if it's if I've got toreach, say reach for Josh Allen
the second round or get Joe Burrowin the third or fourth round. Yeah,
is it that much of a differenceeven Lamar Jackson, Like I think
Lamar, especially if we're talking goingto talk about the rush, the upside
of the rushing Lamar Jackson is alittle bit more comparable. I'm gonna I
can already tell this year. I'mgonna be the guy that's gonna get a
(15:54):
lot of like Trevor Lawrence, JustinHerbert like that boss, Like, oh,
crapper running out, I gotta grabone, and that's like the best
one left. Yeah, a lotof the mocks have been doing recently.
I've been grabbing fourth round. LamarJackson's all over the place. Yeah,
yeah, I get two wide receivers, the one running back. I'm like,
oh, this is a perfect timeto get Lamar Jackson. YEP,
I agree, So let's talk.So it's talk the other running backstock,
(16:15):
James Cook. He's obviously going evenlower than Damien Harris. He's going at
wait, really he's lower than DamienHarris. Oh, actually, I don't
know. I just said that.I lied. He is right next to
his brother running back thirty one,so as actually much high, not much
higher, but a couple spots higher. The PPR app obviously kind of plays
(16:36):
into it, but it does.But he really didn't do it last year
him or like, I get it. We are always infatuated with these pass
catching running backs because they do bringthis PPR upside. But when is the
last time the Bills had this elitelike, not even elite, I would
call it just a functioning pass catchingrunning back that was giving us that kind
(16:57):
of value on a week week basisshady maybe, Well. I think the
point here is that the value ofthese passcutching running backs are that they make
a lot out of these a lotof checkdowns and dump offs. Josh Allen
doesn't do that. He's either he'sgonna make it, he's looking downfield,
he's making a play down the field, or he is making play with his
legs. He's very rarely does hedump it off. And I think that's
(17:18):
where the cap is for James Cookat this point. But there's a blurb
here next to Josh Allen's name thatsays, oh, he wants to work
on being a better pocket passer.Yeah, like every single person does in
the off season. Wants to trynot to bail so much, let the
play develop of all this stuff.Yeah, I can see myself taking one
(17:38):
of these backs and you know,the last couple of rounds, just to
say that I've got one. ButI'm not excited to get either of these
running backs. I'm not excited toget Gabe Davis. I'm excited to get
Digs and Alan Alan and Kincaide reallyyou're you're willing to throw the dart on
(18:03):
King Kaid and Redraft. No,not really. I like it in Dynasty,
Don't get me wrong. In Dynasty. Yeah, I just I'm very
excited about King Kaid as a longterm option for the Bills. But yeah,
definitely not not in redraft now.Yeah. But so the one thing
I struggle on, You're on beinglike, it's like, we know he's
not going to play tight end.He's a receiver. He's playing in the
(18:26):
Evan Ingram role who just got paidby the way, And I feel like
we look at Evan ingrams rookie year. He a great rookie year. I
finished in the top ten and tightends, you finished top ten. I
think he was second. I thinkif I remember, if I remember correctly,
he was the second highest rookie tightend and receiving yards behind Dicka.
(18:48):
And then did Calpits beat it?I think or it was Calpitts definitely beat
Ingram, but I wasn't sure ifhe beat Dick. Ingram finished is tight
into five his rookie year. Yeah, so that's the one thing that makes
me say, like, Okay,we're not asking you to learn your blocking
schemes like, you're basically a widersuper coming out here. Why not to
(19:08):
go shot on that in the lastround instead of getting it. I don't
hate that your secondhand give you that. I don't hate that not comparing,
but let's compare. Ingram had agreat rookie year, very similar. Pitts
had a great rookie year, verysimilar. Another first round tight end that
doesn't play tight end. There's apattern. You can make that argument.
(19:33):
And I think I'm gonna Terry.I think I'm gonna so. I think
if I'm remember Dawston Knox is alreadyhampering some sort of injury. I believe
he was dinged up a little bit, but it doesn't matter. I could
seriously see a world where kN Kaidtakes snaps away from not Gabe Davis.
But now that that's basically they're gonnabe there three wide, and yeah,
(19:56):
that's here's another question I have aboutthe Bills. Bills do love the slot
like the slot receiver. Slot receiverhas gotten the most. Beasley has been
obviously the most heavy handed person outsideof Stefon Diggs for the last couple of
years. Cole Beasley had the bigyear, had a lot of decent games
with Khalil Shakier last year she wasa growder had sometime had some decent games,
(20:17):
not early, i should say,but so that slot role still gets
a lot of love, and it'sthat still can't battle right now for who's
going to be that slot or isit just going to be totally eliminated by
the tight end and the tight end'sgonna become basically the new slot receiver.
I think that I think that optionD there is the answer because when you
look at the guys behind Gabe Davis, Trent Sherfield, Isaiah Coulter, Keyshawn
(20:44):
Johnson's there, I don't think youcan put daalzin Kin Came on the bench
for any of those names. SoI'm excited for this. Obviously, this
is a fun team there. Theyneed to get over the I think kil
if I think that if we wantto talk about late dark brows, KLi
shik here might be a very nice, like, very like we're talking about
(21:07):
with Kincaid, a very nice likelast pick for you, just because there
is that history of slot receivers forthe Bills. So it was just like
I liked, I liked what Isaw from him, coming with his opportunities
last year. I liked him asa prospect coming out of beat Boise State.
So if they continue that trend,he could have a good season.
I just if I'm putting money onsomething, I think that might get converted
(21:32):
to tight end more of a tightend share. Just as a science fact
check. He did only have onegame of over five Fantasy points this year.
It was against the Steelers, whoopsies. But I think there was I
think he had a couple of goodplayoff games. If I recall, yeah,
I either one of these guys,one of them is gonna make noise.
(21:52):
I'm cool And on Gabe Davis,I think that I think that train
has left the station. As muchas they wanted to have a big guy
next to him finished, why ifshe were thirty six last year and PPR
didn't didn't break nine hund cards,it just wasn't a It wasn't a super
great season for the man. Butwhat do you want from him? I
(22:15):
guess I think we just know,we know his ceiling, we know his
deficiency. Is not a great routerunner, okay, you know, not
super fast, big body kind ofguy like you know what he's got and
it is probably pretty easy to schemehim out. Uh prediction. So they're
(22:36):
thirteen three last year thirteen three?Oh yeah right because they missed the game.
Yeah. Uh, I'm gonna givethem. I think this division is
gonna be a lot tougher on themthis year. I'm gonna give him twelve
and five. I still think theywon the division, but I don't think
it's gonna be as handedly. Yeah, I I kind of tend to agree
(22:56):
with you. You're not. Idon't know what they did with the Jets
last year. I can't remember ifthey split or not. But you think
the Jets are gonna be too hardfights? The Dolphins are gonna be too
hard fights? Man. The Patriots, Yeah, I mean the pictures are
Bill Belichick, I'm gonna get Ithink they still win the division, but
I'm gonna give them eleven and six. Eleven six, Yeah, I like
(23:21):
that. Yeah. Built so far, the only team we have with more
wins predicted is you had the Bengalsat thirteen and four. Oh really,
So it's gonna be a tough one. It's gonna be a tough one,
especially in the in this division,to really a mass like a real handy
(23:41):
lead of like the division for aseason. I agree. All right,
let's jump to the Fins. TheMiami Dolphins, who sneaked into the playoffs
despite two of us get brand gettingSkyler Thompson in that game and in the
playoffs, and it was just bad. Yeah. I don't even remember who
(24:02):
they played. They played the BAThey played who didn't play the Cheese because
they had the bus cheese the busso they would have played the Bengals.
It sounds right, it was justst No, they played the Bills.
Oh, yeah, it was theBills. You're right, you are right
to play the Bills. But yeah, the Dolphins are interesting. Another team
really make a ton of moves inthe off season. The big one was
(24:22):
getting Jalen Ramsey at corner to playon the defensive side. Yeah, so
that's good, that would be helpful. I still think they have one of
the better defenses, if not thebest defense in this entire division. So
I think that's going to be astronomicallyhelpful for them. Yeah, the defense
is great for their long term,but fantasy wise, not super like.
(24:44):
Not a ton of changes. Obviously, you still have a Hill and Waddle,
one of the best duos in theNFL. You lost Mike Gasecki and
then replaced him with nobody. Really, I kind of forgot about that.
Yeah, they're just gonna go rightup. No tight end, and they
don't need one. They brought ina couple, I mean, yeah,
(25:06):
they brought in like chosen Robbie Anderson, they brought in Bracks and Barrios.
I was saying, a tight end. Oh oh tight end. Oh yeah,
I mean they're just gonna play withthat tight end. Yeah. I
mean they just need someone who canblock. Really, they don't need a
receiver. That's the whole reason whythey weren't super crazy about Kasecki because he
didn't block, really didn't fit thesystem. No, and they just need
(25:27):
somebody who's not going to be aliability blocking. So Durham smite it is,
which is funny to me that theytook Elijah Higgins, just converted wide
receiver, Elijah Higgins. Yeah,like that doesn't make sense if you didn't
want Kaiseki, but whatever. Yeah, but yeah, I think obviously we
know kind of where we are we'reat with high Reek Tire's gonna be a
top five wide receiver and Redraft Wattle'snot gonna be far behind that. Obviously,
(25:55):
it all kind of just hinges onwhat two is doing and if he
can stay healthy. I don't reallyit's hard to talk about that because like,
oh, do you think he's gonnastay healthy? I don't know.
It's okay, great conversation me either. But I think what I want to
talk about more is, obviously youand I very much enjoyed Devon eh Chain
in this draft process, got draftedto a pretty good spot here, considering
(26:15):
the only I would argue the bestspot he could have went to. Yeah,
I'm considering his Really his only competeright now was Whehee Moster and Jeff
Wilson. You know, there arestill talks about Dalvin Cook maybe coming in,
but it seems like those have reallysimmered. He's actually favored to go
to a different AFC East team atthis point, which we'll talk about in
a second. But a Chain isprobably a sneaky little rookie rookie buy here
(26:36):
right, absolutely, So the furtherfurther we get away, I'm the Dalvin
Cook thing is still in the air. Dalvin Cook just can can come and
just take over this backfield with asnap of finger and a technically a stroke
of a pen. Yeah, butas we look at it right now,
we are still in that Mike McDanielsis still originally from the forty nine ers
(26:59):
system, and there's never going tobe a back that is going to be
that far ahead of carries in frontof everybody else. There's not going to
be that workload back. Yeah,but there is somebody who is going to
get the majority of those carries.And I'm not a hundred You can make
an argument by the end of theseason it might be devon a chain.
(27:21):
Yeah, I could see this beinga typical kind of slow start. You
know, a couple weeks one tofour, a change funds is footing and
you know, okay, let's makesure Jeff Wilson gets his touches and blah
blah blah blah. Yeah, hemight even be a returner at this point
at the beginning of the season.Yeah, it all depends on how quick
he gets started. Here, He'sall these running backs for Miami are like
(27:41):
next to each other. Jeff Wilsonis running back forty four, a change
forty six. Most it's forty seven. Yeah, it's just like you will
start these guys at some point ofthe season which why that's why I like
taking them. It's just a clusterof who it might be, right,
but it's kind of like you do. Whatever running back is starting for the
Dolphins, they will get opportunities,and especially with how fast Devon a Chain
(28:04):
is or someone like where he Monsteredis, or even Jeff Wilson has a
little bit of speed to him.But he does. But he had a
lot of games that you were ableto start Jeff Wilson last year. Yeah,
he yeah. It's like I said, it's gonna be kind of like
whackamle. You just don't know whichrunning back is gonna pop up this this
week, which is why the runningback forty is probably warranted because it's not
consistent, but it's good for thatvalue because at some point you're gonna play
(28:29):
somebody out at least three guys.I'm slamming a chain, I mean yeah,
he gives me the highest upside,especially when I'm looking at the guys
that are being drafted around him.When we get to this point, you
know, you have Devin Singletary,you have Altgier, you have Gaunts of
four men, Jalen Warren. Canyou gain well Kendre Miller Chuba Hubbard.
Yeah, like you gotta go forthe upside guy unless you're desperate for a
(28:49):
handcuff and it just makes the mostI'm super interested in a chain, especially
because we talked about it it probablyabout a month ago. At this point,
there's the report that a chains upto one ninety because he was basically
talking about I don't have to trainfor track anymore, right, I can
be a football player. I can. I don't have to slim down for
(29:10):
track season and keep that weight fortrack season. I'm able to bulk up
a little bit. I'm never ifI ever see a two hundred by that
man's name on any sort of profile, I'll call all sorts of bsyd.
You can't be two hundred pounds,but he can be closer to that.
He can be just right under thatcuffling. Yeah, and I know people
(29:33):
hate being under the two hundred poundmark. But Wade has been never been
running back to a little bit differentthan receiver. But his whole thing isn't
I need to take mad shots,I need to run away from people.
Think And I think he is notonly like a out run into the outside
guy. I think he is avery efficient in between the tackles runner.
He is a very quick twitch,one cut runner that if he gets a
(29:57):
hole, he's gone and immediately gone. It was kind of like the leve
Bell stuff when we talk about vision, where yeah, vision helps you find
the right hole and pick the rightspot to go to, but it also
helps you avoid some of these nastyshots. Yes, like if you see
the guy coming, you can getdown or helps soften the blow in some
(30:18):
way. Yeah, make him wrapto your side and not like hits you
straight head on and exactly burst inyour chest. Yeah, and a chain
has that ability to do that.But you kept like scoffing when I kept
saying this. I called him miniet n this whole off season. I
could see that. I could definitelysee that. But yeah, I'm I'm
excited to see what Achen can doin the NFL. I think he's going
(30:38):
to have a legit opportunity here tomake a difference, and especially if he
gets on the field early as apunt returner. I don't have a lot
of people who can kick him puntreturn but if he gets an opportunity to
show his speed early, that's gonnabe super interesting because that's the thing that
people are kind of forgetting about.You know, this offense is modeled off
of the Shanahan offense and Caroline orin Sam Francisco. This their number one
(31:03):
thing in San Francisco was run theball. Yes, that's what now.
Grant you don't have Jaylen model andTyreek Kill out there, but the model
is run first past second. Yes, And I would argue, if you
want to increase your probability of havingtwo of playing sixteen or seventeen games,
you probably want to run the ballmore and make sure he's you know,
(31:23):
he's not susceptible to a head traumaforty times a game. Yeah, you
don't have to get close to thatfifty percent like area where you're running the
ball, but getting closer to likeforty five four percent definitely will take some
pressure off to us, especially withlike you said, it's a good defense,
and it's a great defense. I'mlike, I just want to keep
talking about the defense. She's like, listen, like Chris, you woke
(31:45):
it and Jalen Phillips, Jerome Baker, Bradley Chubb, Xavian Howard, Jalen
Ramsey, Javon Holland that's a thisis a crazy defense. Yeah, absolutely
nuts defense. Yeah, it isa fun defense. It'll be question mark
maybe the best defense in the AFCEast. I think I in a rookie
(32:07):
draft, I took the Dolphins defensewith like a six round with like Ali
just because I'm like, I don'twant anyone anymore. They actually can do
something for me. Yeah. Yeah, you'll start them over, you know,
sooner than anybody else. Start themover. Xavier Hutchinson eighty Perry or
something. Oh eight? All right, finished nine and eight last year.
Where do the Dolphins go this year? God, that's this is a tough
(32:29):
question because I think the Dolphins andthe Jets are absolutely going to be neck
and neck this entire time. Ye, and it's just probably going to go
down to who wins the like whowins between those two more often? Yeah,
and not total wins. I'm sayingthem going against each other, right,
(32:50):
jeez, I don't know, man, And it's always the two a
thing. We don't know how healthhe's going to be. They have Mike
White as the backup now, andwe Mike White won some games whenever Zach
Wilson was injured last year. Idon't know if they're going nine and eight.
Geez, I'll help you, pleasedo I'm this one. I'm really
(33:13):
stumped on. I'm just gonna saynine and eight again. You're gonna say
nine and eight again. I thinkthat. So I think they go nine
and eight, but I think theydrop down a position in the division.
Spoilerard as to where I think thathow many wins the Jets are gonna have.
So I think that. Yeah,I think they finished nine and eight,
but I think they're third in thedivision. I think that. I
think the Jets eke out a gameand finish ten and seven at worst,
(33:36):
maybe eleven and six. Yeah,I'll join you with the nine and eight
because I just can't. I can'tguarantee the two a health though I like
the Jail and Ramsey add It doesn'tadd a whole lot. It might add
you. It might bump your defenseup a hair because you weren't getting a
whole lot out of of Byron Joneswho was playing not really playing a whole
(34:00):
lot last year. Yeah, Sothough that those are that's a good addition,
it doesn't raise your defense that astronomically, right. Yeah, it's not
like you were one corner away.Yes, exactly. You have a great
defense, but this really does comedown to the health of Tuah. Yeah,
and I just I just can't putmy faith into that right now.
(34:23):
For how much I love too Uh, there's just too many signs that there's
a chance he gets injured again.Yeah, I agree, all right,
I am going to so let's moveon to the to the Patriots too.
Patriots went eight to nine last year. They were in the hunt until the
very last second, to the lastweek by some miracle too. Yeah.
(34:45):
It was such a weird season forthem and this team, I mean talking,
there has not been a lot ofwell, the first three teams we're
gonna talk, we've talked about nota ton of changes on this team.
You bring in Juju Smith, Schuster, you resigned, Vonte Parker resigned.
Yeah, what do you do?You brought him Mike Kacicki to compete with
(35:07):
with what's John U. Smith andnow John Smith Henry. Yeah. Yeah,
it's it's not super sexy of ateam. Let's be honest. There's
not a ton of talent on theoffensive side of the ball. There's like
two good things I like about itfor fantasy aspect, and that's Remandra Stephen
and I actually do like Juju wherehe sits at value right now? Where
(35:29):
is he sitting right now? It'slow. It's like round ten, round
nine or something like that. He'sone of the cheaper wide receiver ones you
can get. Yeah, and Ikind of like that. Coming back on
the Juju train, I'll sell you. I'll sell you my ticket for the
value. I like it. Idid a lot of mocks where I had
Juju's my wide my fourth receiver taken, and I get really happy about I
love this. Oh my god,Juju's wide receiver forty four. Yeah,
(35:52):
that's I'll take that. That's acheap wide receiver one. I will take
that all day. Behind Bateman,Yeah, brother Juju behind Sutton, His
son's a tough Son's a tough one. We don't like. There's a chance
that Broco's defense can just go off, but the offense that can just go
off behind Darius Tony behind it's atough one. That's another cheap wade receiver
(36:14):
one that you have no idea whatyou're getting. Really a wide receiver one,
though, by the way of theland, he was for two the
two games he plays Brandon Cooks,JSN, Jordanas and George Pickens, like,
I would rather Douju over a lotof those dudes. Some just said
just purely based on the fact thatyou know what you're gonna get. The
(36:35):
floor is much safer when it comesto But yeah, I like Juju,
Remandre is. I like Ramandre aslong as they don't signed Alvin Cook.
Yeah. And the big one todaywas that all playoff Lenny Lombardi. Lenny
is going for a visit today.Oh yeah, Yeah, And I like
that more than if they got Dolphin, because I can see a world where
(36:59):
it's it's Lenny giving way to Remandreas in the reverse that where it would
be Remandre giving way to Dalvin ifit was Dalvin going to that team.
Yeah, it's funny. A yearago you'd probably say the opposite, Yes,
but Romandre proved to be a prettydecent pass catcher at this point.
Remandre is just what we liked ata Lenny whenever he was like whenever he
(37:22):
was really efficient being a thousand yardreceiver but also being a very sneaky,
good PPR pass catching running back.Yeah. He finished his running back seven
last year, which is insane.Sixty nine catches. Yes, for reference,
Dalvin or James Cook had twenty one. Yes, like the guy that
(37:42):
we thought was going to be thepass catching back of this draft. And
yeah he Yeah, he had athousand yards, he had almost seventy receptions.
Downside was he only had six touchdowns? How many total carries? Did
he have? Two hundred carries?Flat? Two hundred? Ten? Okay?
I was gonna say yeah, becauseapparently with a lot of the Leonard
Fournette news, they're talking about Romandrasaying he felt gas towards the end of
(38:07):
the season. He felt like hehad a lot, a really big workload,
really, and I wasn't hunting.I get it because you're with those
numbers, You're approaching three hundred totaltouches, which is a lot, especially
in this day of a running back. Yeah, so I get wanting to
bring in another guy, but Istill like him if Lenny. If Lenny
(38:28):
goes there, I'm you might dropdown like a round and value for of
ADP for me, but it's stillI will still be excited about Remand I
mean is getting talked about like ourfirst round running back, not a second
round second. I'll give you asecond round running back. Yeah, I
would take him in the second roundwith no Lenny. With Lenny maybe third
push him down a little bit.Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah,
it's it's just very strange the butthey do like they do need somebody
(38:52):
else, like behind Remandra now islike Pierre Strong, careful, Kevin.
Our boys, our boys. Welove our boys. Time Montgomery is there
now, we love our boys.But they might not be that good.
We don't know yet. We don'tknow. They each had one good game
last year they did. It wassick, it was fun, it was
a good game. Yeah, theMadden ratings have been dropping and Pierre Strong
(39:15):
is significantly higher. I think KevinHarris, really he was like a sixty
nine. Kevin Harris is like asixty two. I was like, no,
boy, that's so weird. Thatwas so weird that they took two
backs in the same class and bothin Day three. So weird. But
yeah, I think that. Ithink you ride with Romandre here. I
think you ride with Juju. Ilove the value that Juju brings. Besides
(39:37):
that, I mean, Mac Jonesis just Mac Jones, man, There's
nothing really there that excites us.I still think Mac Jones could be a
good quarterback, but they're not gettingwhat's a good quarterback? He could be
above the median, but I don'tthink they're gonna They're not giving him the
(39:58):
weapons for him to pass that median. Like we saw him at Bama.
When he had the weapons, hewas the most efficient college quarterbacks. Super
fair. Yeah, but there's amiddle ground we can reach here. I
mean, so obviously he missed.I think he's like what three or four
games last year? Yeah, forthe zappy train QB twenty three, and
then in rookies rookie year, hewas QB eighteen. Does he does he
(40:22):
finish above QB eighteen? Is thishis best year as a starter in the
NFL? You just told me thatyou think he can be mid to with
the wet with more weapons, Butthere he refused to give him more weapons
than aren't jud Smith Schuster. SoI got no, he's not gonna be
He's not gonna pass eighteen. Iagree. I think that I don't think
(40:45):
this offense is particularly good other thanyou know what we've already talked about.
I think that this is a maybeone of the least talented Bill Belichick teams
we've seen in a long time.It is, and there's rumors that Belichick
is on the hot seat. Idon't know how true that is, but
yeah, I was listening to thepart of my take guy see that today
and it's kind of like and theysaid it, and I'm gonna just steal
(41:07):
what they said because they're right.It's like, how there are maybe five
teams in the NFL that would notfire their coach to hire Bill Belichick if
he if he was available fair Soit's hard to be like, oh,
yeah, we're gonna cut this guy, We're gonna let this guy go.
But even this defense like I'm lookingat name, like you're you're more of
(41:27):
a defense guy than I in Butlike, I don't recognize Matthew jude On.
I recognize good player Christian Bearmore,but I don't even know if he's
good play like Jawan Bentley. Iknow the name, but like solid player.
And then and then the Joneses,uh, Marcus Jones and Jonathan Jones.
Marcus Jones and a bunch of legalissues right now, Oh yeah,
(41:47):
he's the gun guy, right yeah, gun on a plane, snakes on
plane. Oh they have a dugger, Kyle Dugger. Is he part of
the dugger crazy Mormon people? Idon't know how. I can't. I
can't attest to that. The saysbottom line is Matthew John is good.
He's feel like he's seeing up theirage. But there's no there's no player
on this defense that really strikes fearother than Judean and in a division with
(42:14):
Stefan Diggs, Tyreek Hill, JalenWaddle, Garrett Wilson. I don't feel
great about this, uh defense.I don't feel about good about this team.
It's gonna be fun about the season. Christians as that's that's a cool
name. But good luck Garden,Tyreek Hill your first week out exactly like
Belichick is going to have this teamstrapped up enough where they're not gonna be
(42:37):
in contention for a top pick,but it's they're not gonna be close to
a playoff contention, especially with thethree teams in this division. And we
think the AFC North is going tobe really competitive, and we haven't even
talked about the West yet and thepossibilities that can come out of there.
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna beinteresting thing for sure. I honestly think
(43:01):
this is, like I said,this is the least talented team Belichick has
had in a very long time,I, honest to God, think that
their record is five and twelve.I put six, and I put six
and eleven. I almost said fourand thirteen, but I thought that might
just be a little too much.Yeah, Belichick will get them enough wins.
(43:24):
I don't. It's so easy totalk about a well coached Belichick team
and you have Tom Brady at thehelm right, and some of those defenses
they had for a couple of yearsthat were really, really good. This
is an uphill task. If youtell if you told me that, I
don't know, pick the middle ofthe road. If you told me,
like Nathaniel Hackett, that's a badexample. If you told me that like
(43:47):
a La Fleur was pick a laFleur because there's two of them. Was
the head coach here? I wouldsay this team wins two games? Yes,
I agree, So let's see whathappens. But yeah, I'm going
I'm going five and twelve, lastdivision in a top five pick. Yeah,
they might have to be one ofthose guys that have to trade up
to try to get into the mayor. Yeah, or they just start
(44:10):
or Williams start zappying it up andsee what happened, really really tank it.
See if he's the future, Icould see a world where that happens,
where Mac Mac is just not gettingthe job done and they're just pulling,
they're just treading water, and atthis point they're just like, you
know what, there's Zapp is gonnaget us out of this or he's going
to get us a top pick.So I think, yeah, that's that's
(44:30):
exactly how I would look at it. I think if they if you're at
the halfway point, you're under fivehundred and teams are pulling away in the
division, and your playoff hopes arein shambles, I just don't see like
the AFC is going to be Soit is going to be very hot this
year, I believe, Oh yeah, because just off the top of my
(44:52):
head, there's five teams that aregonna, I think, are going to
be fighting for those three spots,the three wildcard spot, the raven the
Steelers, the Dolphins, the Jets, Chargers. I think those are the
five teams that are probably not gonnawin their division, but are going to
be good enough to be in thatcontention. Right And I still we said
this one when we talked about theAFC North, there's gonna be one team
that's like ten and seven is notgonna make it. I mean there,
(45:14):
you just said five teams in theirstore spots, right, three three spots.
I keep I would There's always gonnabe injuries. Somebody's gonna some team's
gonna get hit with a bug.Yeah bad, So that would probably take
somebody out. And I'm probably getthe Chargers are gonna charge your way a
couple games and it's just gonna happen. But yeah, I yeah, it's
this AFC is nuts. It's it'sgonna be intense. As AFC East is
(45:35):
gonna be really really fun to watch. Let's talk about the hard knocks.
The New York Jets. Man,this man, this offense looks good on
paper, and I have to sayon paper. Sure, you have to
say on paper. Listen, ifif the Russell Wilson experiment didn't just blow
up in the Broncos face, Iwould be like, this team's winning twelve
(45:59):
games this game, this team mightwin the like actual might actually win the
division. But just because that Russ'sexperiment kind of had a very hard hiccup
in the first season, I wantto hold back the reins just a little
bit. Yeah, I don't wantto hold it back layers. But a
team with Aaron Rodgers and I'm sendingGarrett Wilson and I'm possibly healthy Breece Hall
(46:21):
and an offensive and a decent offensiveline, and I still like I've like
talked in the Jets and forgot thatMims is probably gonna get waved ri ip
my guy. Yeah, he's agood try, not really, Nah,
he tried his best though. Ireally liked this offense though. Oh yeah,
the offense is really fun to lookat. It's a really really good
(46:44):
and I forgot they got alan Zard. I think alan Zard might be a
little sneaky player. I think whenwe talk about Lazard here in a second,
let's see where let's see. I'vegot the savers up. Lazard is
sitting at that's not bad behind RondaleMoore, Elijah Moore, Quinton Johnston.
Yeah. Give me the team withAaron Rodgers and Bruce Hall and Garrett Wilson,
(47:07):
that's nice. I still like TylerConklin is a tight end too.
I think he's a sneaky, littlegood tight end. Don't forget they signed
cj us online. Yeah fair thatwas this year, right, Yeah,
for they might have had him lastyear, I can't. I feel like,
yeah, it was he hurt lastyear. I think I think so,
and that gave way to Tyler Conklinplaying a good amount of games.
But yeah, and the defense isvery solid. I said earlier that they
(47:30):
were like a top five defense theNFL, and you scoffed at me earlier
this offseason. I still don't thinkit's five. But like when you have
Sauce Gardner, you have Adrian Amosand Jordan Whitehead at your safeties, which
I think is really good. Ihave a really good pair of linebackers and
C. J. Mosley and QuincyWilliams, and you also have a top
defensive tackle in quinnin Williams. QuinnJohnson Quinn, Yeah, Quinnilliams and then
(47:52):
Quentin Jefferson too was still good.Quinn Jefferson's is solid. He's I'm They
just don't have that one pass rusherthat is really gonna like send me over
the top. They got They draftedWill McDonald in the first round. They're
hoping that he can turn into that. Yeah, but I don't. That's
the one thing that holding back becausethey don't have that true elite pass rusher.
(48:13):
That's going because if they had evenjust one, if they had one
pass rusher that it felt really goodabout. Pair that with Quentin Williams,
I'd be like, Okay, thisteam's fucking insane. Yeah, they have
Carl Lawson, who I forgot hewas there yet had a bad injury last
year if I remember correctly. Theytook a lot of Cincinnati folks here,
interesting, a lot of Super Bowlpeople because Jordan White had two, there's
some there's some experience on that defense, but focusing hand on the offense,
(48:37):
I'm super excited. You You couldmake the case you would be wrong,
but you could say that this ismaybe one of the best wide receiver rooms
in the NFL. Not not duo, but Garrett Wilson, Lazard and Michael
Hartman like name. So it's like, Okay, Waddle and stuff, Randall
Cobb there, you still Court Davis, right, Obviously your best duo is
(48:59):
Hill and Hill and Jalen Wattle.Yes, but if you talk about the
overall room having those three guys astops top three. I'm not the biggest
Mikael Hardman fan, but it's hardto pretend he's not good. And obviously
self Corey Davis, who who diddecent last year, you know it with
really poor quarterback play. So Ithink there's the one thing that Jets have
(49:23):
that barely anybody else has is atrue lockdown corner that could take away Tyreek
Hill. That is the one.Yes, I can't count the Dolphins because
you can't because Jane Ramsay ain't lockingdown Tyreek Hill. It's not gonna happen.
They have one. They have onecorner that could take away your best
(49:44):
wide receiver. Yep. And that'ssomething not a whole lot of teams have,
especially not in the AFC, inthis AFC East. Yeah, I
agree. I you're right. Youget sucked into this on paper thing.
And I say it every year youlook at if you write down like who
won the off season or who wonfree agency? It never works out because
(50:06):
last year it was the Broncos.They won it. They you know,
you bring in Russell Wilson, ahuge name, But I don't know.
Something about this feels different. There'sa lot of homegrown talent here that's finally
kind of taken off that. Theoffensive line is really good. I mean
Dwayne Brown, like in Tomlinson,Elijah vera Tucker, mackay Beckton, Yeah,
(50:27):
it's it's an injury. It's notan injury prone. That's the wrong
word. It's a running it's aline that got hit bad with injuries.
McKay Beckton is very is close toinjury prones. You can say it.
Elijah Vera Tucker got hurt last year. Yeah, I think Dwayne Brown might
have had something, but I can'tbe sure of that. Laa Thomlinson is
a good guard. I really likeJoe Titman, the center that they brought
(50:47):
in. Yeah, he's very rare, like very big center. Center.
Seemed to be a little bit smaller. He's a six six house of a
center, which some people don't likethat. I don't care regardless. It's
not like they have Tyler back there, right. Aaron Rodgers, You're fine.
Yeah, I it's talking about likesteals in it. But if if
(51:09):
this offensive line stays healthy, thiscan be a scary offensive line. So
I want to take one step backhere as we talk about obviously we were
talking about this whole offense. AaronRodgers is QB fifteen. That's stupid,
right, it is stupid. It'sscary, just solely because of the rust
thing. It makes me nervous,but that doesn't take him out of a
top twelve. I would bet faireverything I had that he finishes as a
(51:32):
QB one barring injury, like Ithink he does better than Okay, Gino
smith Is is directly above. It'slike, okay, I think him and
Gino at fifteen fourteen bothflow. KirkCousins Daniel Jones too a dack DeShawn.
I think the Shawn is way toohigh up here number one. Deshaun is
ranked nine accorinting of Fantasy pros rightnow. Yeah, Deshaan, you're getting
(51:52):
in like round six or seven,and I'm not touching. I'm not touching
that. Give me. I'll waitthree more rounds to take Aaron Rodgers easy
as much risk as both of thembring, and I don't know, the
risk for Rodgers is so much smaller, oh without it, doubt and and
the ceiling is just as high.Yeah, And I obviously Rodgers is a
weird dude. Russell Wilson is aweird dude, but they're a different kind
(52:13):
of weirds. I'm not even sayingthat personality wise. It's just a quarterback
who spent his entire career in onesystem going to a new one. There's
it's not going to be the smoothesttransition. So I'll fight you on that
because you have to add McCarthy andthen the floor. So there were two
different you know, two different systemsthere. So it's but as teuture sayings
like, Hey, he spent hisentire career in Green Bay, I think
(52:36):
he'll be just fine. I thinkyou will too, And I think with
the you're bringing, the Jets areliterally doing everything that the Packers never did.
Hey, i want you to signmy guy. Great, we'll sign
both of your guys. We'll takeLazard and cop Hey, you want first
round talent to watch your position meetGarrett Wilson, also Corey Davis. People
(52:57):
first round like that said, Iknow you like them wide receivers that were
seven team. Yeah, yeah,you guys are friends, right, Yeah,
just pretend it's de Vaunte. I'mnot a hard it's not. If
you squint, you might be ableto mistake him a little bit. Yeah,
maybe when he gets real far downthe field. Yes, but yeah,
I'm I'm super excited for these forthis Jets team. I don't know,
I don't know what I feel aboutthe Jets teams of being told,
(53:19):
honest like, I don't know ifI liked them or hate them. Like
I like them. I like rootingfor the Bills just because they've had so
much bad luck in their and theirfranchises. It's like they're each team they
root for. Patriots, you obviouslyalways have to root against. The Jets
are somewhere in the middle because theJets had those couple of good years there
with like the Sanchez and the rexRyans, but other than that, they've
been really really bad since Joe Montana. But their fans are also kind of
(53:44):
mean. They are a little mean. I was gonna, I was trying
to think, like a fun wordto say. It's like nothing, they're
coming, they're not. Media toois a little rough. Yeah, it's
like you're not filly mean, butyou're not nice people. Yeah and so,
but yeah, I think I'll berooting for Aaron Rodgers year. And
then obviously Garrett Wilson and Bruce Hall. We didn't even talk about bries Hall.
Breese Halls, I think is aguy that is is set for the
(54:07):
moon this year. I think he'shealthy. He could be a top he
could be top by running back.I said it in a text this week,
and I'll say it on the airso that it's in the world.
He is my dark horse pick forrunning back one overall this year. It's
not a bad one. It's nota bad one. He's currently going so
efficient. He was so good inthose first like seven weeks. It's eight
(54:27):
weeks before he got hurt. Currentlygoing at running back eleven. I would
take him in the second round.Yeah, I think you probably should,
if we're being honest. It justmakes so so, so, so so
much sense. Yeah. I again, I love Bruese Hall. I still
love the running back the room thatthey have. They have Michael Carter,
who I think if given the opportunity, I think miche Carter could be a
contribute in like running back on ateam. Yeah yeah, oh yeah,
(54:52):
he could be maybe not a starter, but and it's not Aman Night in
Bruce Hall's absence played really we likeIsrael A band Acanda a lot as a
prospect. Yeah, he brings aweird combination of size and speed you don't
see from a lot of people.Yeah. Yeah, I agree with everything
you just had there. That runningback from me, I'm like, are
(55:12):
you gonna keep four running backs.Well, it's funny because like you would
say, BAM's the odd man out, but Bam had what was it,
like, like the most mis tacklesin the league, Like forget what it
was like there's some PFF stat wherelike he was like the most elusive back
per attempt or something like that,which obviously he had less attempts, but
still enough to be like, hey, this dude's got something. But yeah,
(55:36):
I'm yeah. Are you keeping fouryeah? Four running backs that don't
contribute a lot to special teams.You could probably get Zonovan for special teams.
I think I'd rather have Iszy.Well, is he definitely will contribute
on special teams. For he couldbe a kick returner, maybe not punt
punt. You need to be alittle bit more elusive than I think a
Band of Canada is. Yeah,but there's yeah, well because then it's
(55:57):
like, okay's stuff. Forget it. Also, me Cole seems like the
most obvious point returner for the pintreturner. But yeah, I mean,
so you've got your three wide receiversplus Corey Davis plus Rydall Cobb. That
leaves Denzel Mims out, and thenyou've got a bunch of guys. So
it's like you've got five wide receivers, you've got four and a half five
running backs. Like, there's alot of talent on this team, and
I'm excited to see what they dowith it and see if Rogers can turn
(56:20):
this pumpkin into a princess. Ithink he can. I think he can
too. I think that this isa playoff team. I from everything,
this almost looks like a Rodgers feelsa little bit rejunated for football in this
whole thing. Well, I thinknot only that not only rejuvenated for football,
but this sounds like about like rejuvenatedwith life in general. I mean,
he's you know, during the NBAstuff, he was out, he
(56:42):
was at games. He was takingGarrett Wilson to the NBA games, Like,
he's out at the theater. He'sdoing the New York stuff like,
and obviously there's not a lot todo in Green Bay. There's nothing.
I've been to Green Bay. Thereis the there's the stadium. There's what
they call like I think it's likeLombardi Way or or something like that,
(57:02):
where it's like they're trying to buildit up, but it's not there yet.
With like shops and stuff like that, but it is literally the stadium.
And then I read light and that'slike that's all it is. So
obviously professional football players drive trucks tofacility. I mean it's crazy. It
really is wild. Like there's theypick him up in the back and they
(57:22):
drive in the bed of the truckbecause like S four offensive lineman just heading
to practice because there ain't nothing todo. There's actually a really cool thing
they do that that I didn't knowabout until I went into like the museum.
They do this thing where every trainingcamp, like oh, they come
on out and like bikes. Yeah, they ride their bikes and they meet
kids and stuff like that. It'slike that's cool. I like that.
But but yeah, it seems likehe's rejuvenated his love for football, his
(57:44):
love for you know, stuff andthings and life and things. Yeah.
So yeah, I'm very excited tosee how he does. I think this
talk about dark horse again. Ithink Rod, I think this team is
a dark horse to win this division. If you if you put me a
time machine and I came on February, Mary and I said who won the
AFC East And you said the Jets, I'd be like that. Yeah,
okay, I believe that. Ithink it's actually becoming a popular pick for
(58:07):
the Jets to be like contenders.I don't think it's the betting odds favorite,
but no, they're definitely top fivethough. Yeah, I see ESPN
analysts. I saw one famous onewhere everybody picked the Jets except Forlovsky.
Uh. I like Arlovski, Don'tskythat guy. He's a goofball. He's
a goofball, but he's fun.Yeah. I also really I had a
(58:29):
very weird affliction I should say forthe Lions when I was a kid.
Oh yeah, and mainly because ofCalvin Johnson of course. Yeah, I
still love Matthew Stafford as a quarterback. I think Matthew Stafford gets under talked
about as a historically great quarterback,like he was doing my Homes things before
my Homes was even thought of,and he just because he was with the
Lions, it never really got talkedto. They said that during quarterback and
(58:51):
it's like, oh, yeah,I took a lot of Stafford's game.
Yeah, like the baseball throws,the side arms and stuff like that.
But again, Matthew Stafford was alwaysin, always had injury, so we
saw a lot of Dan Ralosky,and I'm like, I like this guy.
Yeah, it's all right, yeah, you know where he's always route
for the backup quarterback. It's aYukon like weird weird suppled to go too.
But yeah he's just a goofball.But oh he's a goofball. But
(59:13):
I like him. All right,let's get a let's get a prediction here.
I might go a little bold.I'm gonna say eleven and six.
I'm gonna say eleven and six aswell? What did what did? I
had the bills a twelve? Right? No? You said eleven and six.
You want to change it to twelve? No, because they're gonna tie.
They'll be tie breakers. I thinkit's eleven and six. Okay,
so by something the little win ontide breakers. But all right, let's
(59:34):
wrap up with the superlatives here.All right, so let's start with the
rookie of the year. So yougot a couple of options. Is he
about a Canada? It's a badoption. You've got a chain. Yeah,
let's just both say a change.Yeah, there's no bills didn't really
(59:55):
take any Oh, or you couldsay, ok I'll sack in kide.
Okay, I'll say a change.Okay, there we go kN candidate chan
uh sleeper. I I'm gonna sayju Ju jujue forty four. That's that's
that's low. It's low. There'sno way he can't outperform that ADP.
(01:00:16):
Yeah, he's going to be thenumber one receiver there. It's not even
like the caveats like he's number onereceiver. But they haven't had no he's
the best option they got. Yeah. Uh, I'm gonna say Lazard,
that's a good one. That's areally good one. He's going below even
below Juju Watch fifty one right now, and I love it. We know
how Rogers likes his comfortability, andI think that's gonna show up in droves.
(01:00:40):
People. Might not be a badlittle option either, mainly because this
team is very Aaron Rodgers like fromtwenty twenty one, with DeVante being replaced
by Garrett Wilson. H MVS isnow basically Nicole Harman and then Lazard is
still Lazard. Yeah, I agree, what else we have? Bust who's
(01:01:02):
Who's Who's missing the boat? That'sThis one's a more interesting one. I'm
gonna go huh, Yeah, thisone's a little bit of a tough one.
I'm gonna say, uh, becausethere's like there's just really high guys
(01:01:22):
and then there's just like medium guys. Right, there's really nobody in the
middle. Yeah, maybe we justwe skipped this one because it really is.
Yeah, it's like, Oh,I think Diggs is gonna be wide
receivers six instead of he's gonna notperformed a wide receiver five and he's gonna
be wide receivers. I'll tell youwhat I'll say just to say one,
(01:01:43):
I don't totally believe this. Ihope it doesn't happen. But two,
I mean that's the most Yeah,that's the best one with a big more
of a big brain thought. Yeah, just like he's if he's miss his
game, he's gonna I'll underperform hisADP. And who's your MVP. It's
gotta be Josh Allen. I'm gonnasay brees All Oh, I like I'm
(01:02:04):
feeling good about brees all this year. I don't can also say Tyreek here.
You can say Tyreek. You caneven say Jail and Waddle. I
mean Jaylan Waddle's going to finish inthe top ten as well. You'll say
anybody on the Patriots. But yeah, you can even say bust. You
could put ramondre if the asterisk ifthey sign. If they sign, but
like ADP should shift after that anyway, I agreed. All right, Well
(01:02:24):
that's what we got for you.Be sure to fall us on Twitter at
jet Set Dynasty. We'll be backnext week with the NFC East hopefully maybe
finally Davin Cook. We'll have ahome or another running backs so we can
