and Derek. We got a real, real fun one last week.

(02:59):
We did our Bowl Predictions of Crazy Calls. That's also
my favorite episode we do all season. This one is awesome.
This one's where you get to kind of like stand
on your stones a little bit, you get to plant
your flags, and we have a lot of fun with
these ones. So I'll get right into it without any
further ado. Let's go with our breakouts. First, we got
our breakouts, our sleepers, and our bus We have our

(03:21):
breakouts first. Our rules for breakouts are these players based
on current ADP average draft position. These players are going
to outpace their ADP by two rounds or more. So
wherever this players being drafted, a breakout would mean that
they're gonna supplant that by the end of the season
by two rounds or or more. That's our breakout section, Matt.

(03:43):
We're gonna start with you. Who you got.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
It's easy for the show. It's easy like Sunday morning,
without a doubt. Ricky Piersoll, we'll do. We'll break out
probably three rounds ahead of his ADP, not too I
have their names. We have gone over all three of
them on the show. This seems like a no brainer
to me, and I think by the end of the weekend.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
His ADP is going to rise as well.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
So give me Ricky Piersoll. And by the way, you
guys can get in line behind me. There's no doubt
that at least one of you has that same name.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Love it, Ricky p shout out, man. We already did
that for the breakout and crazy calls. So you all
love You'll know I love Ricky p as well. Anybody
vietmealely against It looks like Ricky Pearsall is a guy
in San Francisco right now. Nope, we're in love it.
Let's move on here, easy peasy, breakout number one, Ricky

(04:41):
Piersol three rounds ahead of the ADP. Give it to me,
all right, Jeff, what you got?

Speaker 4 (04:47):
I got Ted McMillan from Carolina. He is currently receiver
twenty eight as the sixtieth overall pick per Fantasy Pros,
and I just love that he has a high draft
draft capital in Carolina. He has no real target competition.

(05:07):
We're kind of looking into the numbers a little bit.
Dante Johnson had three weeks out of seven before he
got traded twelve receiver as a number one target for Bryce,
and then kind of when Bryce kind of took his
game to the next level from rounds from sorry, from
weeks twelve through eighteen, his top receiver was a handful

(05:31):
of guys, But that top guy scored in double digit
six to seven games, averaging nearly fifteen points a game.
If that was just for one player, that would have
been receiver number four. So I think Tet is that guy.
And also Carolina has the eleventh easiest schedule for receivers,
So I do think Tet will be a second round
pick next year.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I like it. Maddy had him getting surpassed by some
other guys the other night for the bold prediction, So
that'll be interesting. We need somebody to step up as
that clear number one out there in Carolina. Maybe it'll
be a roll McMillan. I like that a lot. Any objections, Nope,
A couple of shrugs. I dig it fair enough, Okay, okay,

(06:14):
all right, David Cruz, you're on the clock. First breakout.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
Okay, my breakout is going to be Zach Sharboney, running
back in Seattle. Currently on Fantasy Pros, he's running back
thirty three on Football Guys. When I first wrote this
down yesterday, he was running back thirty I went and
checked again. He's already up to number twenty nine in

(06:40):
the RAS Bowl draft I did. He went in the
tenth round, running back thirty five. Last year, he was
running back twenty five in PPR. He actually outscored Kenneth
Walker in PPR. Kenneth Walker was number twenty seven, as
he owned he had fewer touches than Walker. He had

(07:03):
more yards and he had one more touchdown. And last year,
in one hundred and seventy seven touches, he had nine
hundred yards and nine touchdowns, eight rushing, one receiving. Both
those guys are dual threats. They're equally good at running
the ball and catching the ball, and I think that's

(07:23):
going to work out real well in Clint kobi Acs
offense in Seattle. He's the He's the new offensive coordinator
for the Seahawks. When Walker was out in this time,
in four out of the five games that chardon Ay started,
he was running back eight, running back seven, running back

(07:46):
one overall, and running back seventeen in a game they
got absolutely annihilated by the Packers, which helped knock them
out of the playoffs. In that game where he's running
back seventeen, he only got nine touches, he still scored
a touchdown. So my guy this year is Zach Charboney,

(08:08):
a guy that probably could start on at least half
the other teams in the league.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I like it a lot. I've been talking about it
quite a bit for charbon Ay and Derek. You know,
I wouldn't do this unless I had to, But unless
give me a thumbs up. If your guy is Zach Scharboney,
it's not great. I'm gonna I'm gonna leap I'm gonna
leap frog you. Then we had some of this go

(08:38):
on last week. Some of us took our chances. I
took my chances and failed with the breakouts and uh
all of our crazy calls and bowl predictions. Last week
we had a couple of double ups Dak Prescott mainly
some Falcons Ricky pat This week we're gonna double up
dave on a breakout for Zach Charboney. I've been waiting
for this one for a while. I like Kenneth Walker

(08:58):
a lot. I loved him coming out of Michigan State
and in coming out of college, but unfortunate with the
injuries and everything racking up, Zach Charbay has got an
opportunity and done very well with it. Davey basically covered
my case as well, so I'll keep it short. In
those games that he played, he averaged eighteen point three touches.
So eighteen touches a game for averaging one hundred total yards, right,

(09:23):
So you're getting basically an RB two with RB one upside.
If Kenneth Walker misses again for significant time right now
in about the eighth or tenth round, depending on your
league settings. Kenneth Walker injury prone and Jack Charbonay looked
real nice early kicking off that game against Kansas City
the other night in preseason. So Dave, I'm with you.
I'm gonna go with Zach Charbonay also boat racing his

(09:45):
ADP by more than two rounds. But for the sake
of the exercise, he is my breakout as well, Derek,
who you got all right?

Speaker 6 (09:56):
Well the end the breakouts. Mine is a wide receiver.
He's currently wide receiver number twenty nine going in the
sixth round. Probably it was a breakout last year. Differences
though this year he's on a team with a quarterback
that can actually throw the ball. My breakout is George Pickens.

(10:19):
So we already established, We already established last week that
a healthy Dack is a top five quarterback. So that's
that's automatically a leg up on last year when when
whose quarterback was who man? Yeah, never fields, So that
that's that's that is at least a two round Uh,

(10:42):
you know, bump up right there. But you know he
pairs with you know the other gentleman on the screen here,
Ceedee Lamb. You know, Ceedee Lamb's going to draw a
multiple coverage, which should free you know, free up Pickings
to have a little more room. Dallas has a you know,
relatively poor defense, so you know they should be slinging it.

(11:03):
So if we have a healthy DAC and they're playing
from behind, you know they're going to be you know,
it's not going to just be Ceedee Land. They've got
another weapon there. So I like him a lot. In fact,
you know, when I kind of compare him to Brandon
Cooks from about two years ago when he was on

(11:23):
Dallas the last dak's healthy season, and you know, in
that capacity, they run the same number of routes from
in the white out spot. Generally, Brandon Cook's ADOT was
almost thirteen. He had over eighty targets and eight touchdowns.
So if if you take that production and put it

(11:46):
on Pickings this year, he's definitely worth more than a
six round pick. You know, if you go two rounds
from him, you're in the de Vante Adams, Terry McLaurin,
DJ Moore, Marvin Harrison area. I think you could clearly
reach that in line. So Yeah, George Pickens is gonna

(12:07):
be my breakout.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
I like it. I like George Pickens a lot. I'll
tell you what, man, when he came out of college,
I was really hyped on him, and the whole narrative
was he's a beast if he can just not be
a knucklehead, and that remains true. Unfortunately, the Steelers have
an incredible history of these guys, not just Ab Marteos,
Bryan Juju, Plaxico Burros back in the day, lots of

(12:29):
these dudes in Pittsburgh. I don't know what it is,
but hopefully we can get a fresh start with him
Pickens and obviously learning from Ceedee Lamb. And if these
guys both click, there's no chance that Dak isn't what
you guys called last week, which is top six, tops five.
So I like it a lot. We got a lot
of momentum for the Cowboys all of a sudden, and
shout out to Jake Ferguson, also getting a tight end

(12:51):
boost there from Dave too, So we'll see what happens,
and they don't have much of a run game. I
like it a lot. Okay, we're gonna get into our
bus next. Matt you'll be up in a second. Again,
I just want to give another shout out to everybody
tune in in tonight. We're an hour earlier than usual,
So thank you guys for manipulating your schedules for myself
and the people. And also just another heads up if
you'd like to join our listener league with all of

(13:14):
us and some others in a PPR listener League, twelve
team listener league with us and some other viewers. Makes
you comment below, let us know and we'll be in
touch and get that going. We do have drafts coming
up this weekend. Okay, let's see here. I didn't see
it quite you guys want to pull that up and
read it out, Go ahead, Matt, read it for me.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Just I'll pull this up when we've got people that
are tuned in. I just want to know whoever's tuned
in and wants one of the final three slots, they
got to speak up now. We'll get them all the
information offline after the show. Love it Sleep Draft this
weekend on Sleeper Draft against the best in the industry.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yeah, damn it right, Jeff right. And I'll tell you
what if you don't go. If you don't go, Ricky
p by the third round, he's not coming back to you.
That's the only clue I'm going to give you, guys.
If Ricky P is not drafted in the top three rounds,
he's not going to make it back to you.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
I would mention current ADP for Ricky Piersoll, I didn't
mention anybody else mentioned ninety three.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
It's it's criminal.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Part part of me, part of me like wants to
stop talking about it because I've made I've made my claim.
You guys have two. We're excited, but now I feel
like we should just shut it down and not keep
talking about it. To keep it down a little bit,
Let's see what happens. We help the people enough, and
let's let's get some drafts going. All right, Maddie, once
you got it's your bus.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
The bus.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
The one that I don't want to say is Cooper Cup.
So I'm going to leave him alone because I love
Cooper Cup, the player Washington University. So I'm going to
go with the guy that is clearly not going to
hit his ADP. Jeff will smile because of articles he's
written and running backs that he's charted. Joe Mixon will
in no way, shape or form match his ADP.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
So is this a is that? Is that a Nick
Chubb text?

Speaker 2 (15:15):
No, Jeff will tell you what what text it is, Marx,
that's a Woody Marks text?

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Nice?

Speaker 4 (15:24):
What do you maybe some Chubb too, you know? But yeah,
definitely I like Woody Marks this year.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, Nixon sitting at ADP.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
His ADP is fifty six.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
I just don't see how he's going to uh make
up that ground. And by the way, the coaching staff
is not even talking about his injury. It might be multiple,
but for sure it's a it's a foot is one
of the injuries.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
I mean, he's just not even on the field. He's
not doing anything. I don't even think he's uh.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Pulling out a Naji Harris and walking the track during practice.
I'm not even sure he's present unless he's in the
back and doing some form of physical therapy. But I
think that this that, in my mind, probably moves to C. J. Stroud,
Nico Collins, Jaden Higgins, and Christian Kirkut my board because
and maybe even a way at the end if you're

(16:22):
in a deep league Dalton Schultz. But I just I
don't see Joe Mixon bringing the return.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
This year.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
Mm hm in Houston conspiracy theory. Do you think that's
why they brought in Chubb knowing that mix and had
an injury already?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Absolutely?

Speaker 5 (16:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
But the latest out of the coaching staff in Houston
about Nick Chubb, which I find even more concerning than
the Joe Mixon not talking about it, is they said,
we really like the player Nick Chubb.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
He really loves football.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
A quote you gotta have that dog, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, So I don't That doesn't say a lot about
what is gonna bring me the table.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
But I don't want my coach saying that I really like.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Finance. I want him to say I'm the best finance
nerd there is.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Well, right, Matt, would you would you be? Would you
be less concerned if they said Nick Chubb man hell
of a player? Unfortunately, he just doesn't like football.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Oh yeah, he's off the draft board entirely, I.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Think, right exactly. So, yeah, Nikki Chubb will be all right.
I saw an awesome press conference with him last week.
I think it was he was just talking about everything
going on, his health and whatever, and the coaching scheme
and everything else, and uh man, he's he sounds the
party looks the part. I mean, the Nick Chubb of
old is probably behind us, unfortunately, but if we get

(17:53):
you know, I could see us getting an RB two
at the end of the season if he can stay
healthy through it. So we'll see what happens. But really
really messy situation overall, outside of Nico Collins, in my
opinion for the Texans this year, okay, that's bus number one,
Joe Mixon, Jeff kick it off for bus number two.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
I'm gonna keep with the running back trend and the
never fields. I'm gonna say Bryce Hall running back fourteen,
pick thirty three. Overall, I don't see him coming close
to this. I went back in time and looked at
Justin fields running backs. The best running back finis as
RB nineteen and that was David Montgomery in twenty twenty one.

(18:35):
So I just I just don't like Justin Field and
a running back because Justin Field is known for his
running ability as a quarterback, not necessarily as passing. And
then you add in the fact that head coach Aaron
Glenn continues to mention that he has three really good
running backs, and it leads me to believe that this
could be some sort of a time share and just

(19:01):
don't think it's the year for Brisaw. I think his
better seasons are past them at this point, just with
the change of the scheme, quarterback play is all different now,
So with that, I'm definitely out on Brisall.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh boy, anybody else have thoughts on Bristol.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
I'm still removing the ashes from myself on backing the
Jets last year.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
So yikes.

Speaker 6 (19:27):
You know, yeah, I kind of agree as well. I'm
staying away from Brestall. I will take a chance on
Braillen Allen later though, but yeah, at Brestall, at his ADP,
I'm steering away from him.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Well yeah, with the Braylen Allen top resol starting to
slip slowly down the boards for him, it's it's going
to be volume, and it's going to be one of
those where he may not have wonderful yack, he may
not have yards after contact, yards after catch both yaks.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
By the way, it's Jack squared but.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Volumes king for running backs, which is why nineteen reception
Derrick Henry is still a late first round early second round.
He can't catch the football, but when he does, for
those nineteen catches, look out. He usually comes off the
field at third down situations, but Breesfall could bring some value,
but it's all going to be based on volume, and

(20:25):
it's possible that Justin Fields has more rushing yards than
Breslaw does when it's all said and done.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
Yeah, last couple of drafts, I've done Breese Hall. When
it comes at time where Breese Hall's is, you know
at the in my queue, he's also there with Kenneth Walker,
James Cook and Alvin Kamara. You know, one of one
or two of those guys, and I'd much rather have
one of them than than Breese Fall. So yeah, I'd

(20:52):
pivot off to him nine point nine times out of ten.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yes, I agree, And for the second time in a row,
I promise we don't share these pre game. But I
also went with Breece Hall for my bust running back
seventeen last year, and it was uglier than running Back seventeen.
He had a couple of boom games, a couple at
the end there that made it look too nice and
feel nice, but it was not very great. Justin Field's rushing.

(21:18):
We know that Jeff's touched on that, Raylan Allen and
Isaiah Davis, who nobody knows, but he's one of those
dudes on a team that the coaches love, which we
hate in fantasy. I mean respect to this guy. I
hope it like him and his family are healthy and stuff,
but like we hate these dudes. No, they're not useful
for fantasy. They just cloud up the works and then
the dudes are actually playing, like are you know, get

(21:42):
taken away from these other dudes who are great clubhouse
guys and people who are in the mix, but not
actually for fantasy. So Isaiah Davis is getting work. The
one thing for Breece Hall that I do like, because
I'm an offensive line weirdo. PFF has the Jets as
the ninth ranked offensive line. I like that a lot.
Anybody in the top ten is a dominant offensive line.

(22:04):
But overall, I just don't believe in the Jets until
we can and I just think justin Fields, if he
breaks out, I think it's gonna hurt Breese Hall versus
rise all tides if you will. As Derek mentioned, Alvin Kamara,
Amarion Hampton, who we talked last week about one of
our Bowl predictions, Traveon Henderson, who most of us already love,
and even James Connor. Maybe are going after Breshall in drafts.

(22:28):
I'd take all four of them over Breesehall. Maybe even
take a look at like James Cook as well, and
not Kenneth Walker because I like Charboney, but he's in
the mix as well if you believe in his health. So, Unfortunately,
Breesehall is a bust for me as well.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Guy, would you rather draft RJ.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Harvey or listen to PJ HARVEYJ?

Speaker 1 (22:50):
PJ. Harvey's nice, Dude. I got a heavy trip hop
mix a long time ago. I got some stuff for you.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
No Dave knows who PJ. Harvey is.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
No no disrespect from for PJ. Harvey here. I love her.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Nice. Don't forget portushead either.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
Let England shake baby.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, I dig it. Nice good drop Matt. All right,
Breis Hall unfortunately taking a double burn, Dave. That means
you're up.

Speaker 5 (23:18):
Okay, I'm going to go with the ultimate low hanging fruit,
and I'm gonna pick a guy that's getting drafted at
the top of his position as a potential bust, and
that for me is Lamar Jackson. I'm seeing him, I'm
seeing him drafted. I'm seeing him drafted at the top

(23:38):
of drafts and I get, I get drafting Lamar Jackson,
top top quarterback. He's the ultimate upside guy. So it's
basically comes down to whether you want you like drafting
upside early or if you like drafting somebody with a
safe floor. But Lamar actually, he just he he just

(24:00):
had such a fantastic year last year. He had. The
thing that sticks out to me most is he had
a eight point six touchdown past percentage rate against his attempts.
He had forty one touchdowns last year on only four
hundred and like under four hundred and eighty attempts. It's

(24:21):
it's insane how much it was. Now. He had a
similar touchdown percentage rate in his two thousand and nine,
his first MVP year, he was at nine percent, but
other than twenty twenty the year after where he is,
where he was, where he had just under seven percent rate.

(24:43):
He's mostly in the five fourth, high fours, mid fives
in his other years as far as touchdown percentage goes,
as far as passing goes, So he had he had
his He had his most attempts, most completions, most most
touchdowns in his fust interceptions. It was it was a

(25:03):
fantastic year for him, and and you know it's possibly
he does it again, but it's also possible a year
after twenty nineteen he was quarterback ten. Two years the
two years next year is he was quarterback fifteen and
quarterback fourteen. So there is some downside. I mean again,

(25:24):
he's probably got the highest ceiling of maybe any player
in the league, but he's also got kind of he's
got kind of a low floor. I mean, I know,
I remember taking him in twenty twenty early and in
one quarterback league, which is usually what I do not do,
and it kind of burned me a little bit. But

(25:46):
that's neither here nor there here. So I think Lamar
could fall as far as you know, to the bottom
of the top five, or if he gets hurt, even lower,
and he has been hurt in the past. So for me,
Mark Jackson is again it's it's easy to say a
guy that it can only go down, will go down,

(26:06):
but I think he might. He has the possibility of
going down further than people think.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Dave, give me the quarterbacks you're drafting before Lamar.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
Jackson, Josh Allen and depending on the scoring system, Joe Burrow.
Other than that, probably not. I mean, I'm not saying
I won't take the risk, and I'm not saying I
don't think Lamar Jackson can repeat. I'm just saying to me,

(26:37):
he's the probably the highest likely to bust, and I
think bust enough where you regret drafting quarterback.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
One fair enough. I think it's all about adp right.
I mean, if you're gonna do that in like the
second round, sure, but if you don't have to draft
him to the third or fourth in my workout there anyway, yeah,
in one.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
Quarter back, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
No, I'm just gonna kind of reiterate what you said.
He had career high in Fantasy points by twenty three,
he had career high in passing yards by five hundred.
He had a career high in passing touchdowns by five,
the fewest interceptions since his rookie year when he only
played like nine real games when Joe Flacco was out
of there, and he rushed for almost one thousand yards,

(27:25):
which is the third time he's done that in his
career as well. So you're right, Davey can most likely
only go down. But for in this offense, with everything
going on and the fact that everyone has to also
scheme for Henry if he stays healthy. I just don't
see how he's not number one again.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
Well, like I say, he's been number one twice. To me,
Josh Allen has the safest. For Josh Allen in the
last five years is the lowest he's spent his quarterback
two So, I mean, like I said, it all depends
on your on your philosophy. If you want a draft
ceiling ceiling ceiling, you got to draft Lamar Jackson. I

(28:08):
like it.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Well, Jayden Daniels is going to be the number one
quarterback this year anyway. So I hear you, Dave? All Right?
Anyone else want to chime in?

Speaker 6 (28:17):
You know, yeah, I'll just wrote a quick note because
I did draft Lamar Jackson in one league because I
do love the upside. But I think Dave hit it
on the head when he said if you're if you're
drafting twenty twenty four Lamar Jackson, you're probably going to
be disappointed. But that that's said, I mean, he's going
to be a good fantasy quarterback, no, no, no question

(28:40):
about it. Somebody stays healthy. But but yeah, if you're
if you're drafting for a repeat of or even building
on last year. Yeah, I agree with David. I think
you're going to be disappointed.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
Yeah, one hundred percent for me that I've certainly i've done.
I don't know how many drafts now, but I've drafted.
If I've had a opportunity to draft Lamar Jackson, I've
drafted him. And I haven't drafted first in any draft.
So you know, if he gets to me and the
like pick in a super flex, if he gets to

(29:11):
meet pick three or four, then he's mine. You know,
I'm not rooting against Lamar Jackson. I'm just saying he's
probably the guy that has the possibility of falling farther
than a lot of other players.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Fair enough, all.

Speaker 6 (29:30):
Right, you write that. Let me write that down here
real quick. Three drafting it three or four in the
super flex. Got it? Ye?

Speaker 1 (29:40):
Take take that, take that falling.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Let me let me put it this way. He doesn't
get that far too often. It all depends. There's there's
there's a couple of leagues I'm in right now. I
just started drafting this week. One league is so slanted
towards the tight end. Three of the first four picks
were brock Bauer is Trey McBride and George Kittle, and

(30:04):
a second league is slanted very much towards wide receivers,
So I'm going nuts on wide receivers as everybody else
goes after quarterbacks and running backs.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Play your league settings. I like it a lot. All right,
let's get into it, Derek, what's your bust?

Speaker 6 (30:23):
Yeah, I've got a couple of names here, and I'm
still flipping a coin right now as I'm getting ready
to speak which one I'm gonna throw out, But I
think I'm gonna settle on the quarterback. And it's just
like Dave's not gonna be Lamar Jackson, though, it's gonna
be that young quarterback in the Windy City. Caleb Williams
is going to be my bust the ships. Yeah, I

(30:47):
mean he is going as quarterback twelve right now, ahead
of names like Party, Herbert Drake, May, C J. Stroud,
Lawrence McCarthy. McCarthy's going like thirty picks later than Caleb Williams.
Can Ward cam Ward is is quite a bit after

(31:10):
that as well. So Yeah, the reson the reason, I
I mean the hype. The hype here, I mean it
started last year in the draft, but even further this year.
We're not going to talk about that one.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Is it a funko man, a fun pop packer man?
Is that Aaron Matt is just Matt is so uh hit,
you know. I mean he's the opposite of mid He
is just mad riz for Matt. I like that, lots
of drip.

Speaker 6 (31:43):
I almost I almost went with Aaron Rodgers as my bus.
But when you're you know, you're at the quarterback thirty
rank anyway, I mean that's pretty bad to be a
bus there. But yeah no, But the I mean the
hype this year, you know, with Ben Johnson in town.
You know, his first outing this last week, one hundred

(32:04):
and seven yards and touchdown.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
It's just it's just.

Speaker 6 (32:07):
Pumping up the helium on Caleb Williams already. But you know,
you go back and look at his trends. I mean
he's he was decent against bottom half defenses, you know,
get versus quarterback last year, but he was really he
was either average or bad against the top half defenses.
So I mean he needs to show that he can
play at a higher level. I mean they gave him

(32:29):
a good, good offensive line there. He's got receiving depth,
You've got you got a running game there. So there's nothing.
There's nothing other than Caleb Williams himself for him to
be a bus this year. And I just I don't
think he's gonna return the investment as all. I think
he'll be fine, you know, as a quarterback two. You know,

(32:52):
if you want him as a quarterback too, and it
was super flex, he know, I'll take that chance maybe,
But as a quarterback one, I just don't see. I
don't think he's quarterback twelve. In fact, my new rankings
will have him even a little bit lower once they
come out this week.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
So nice.

Speaker 6 (33:09):
Yeah, I'm calling Caleb Williams as my as my quarterback bust.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
He has two major issues.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
The first, he still thinks he plays in the pack
twelve and wants to throw every ball beat one a
to that is it's all here, it's between his ears.
He thinks he has to be the college Heisman winner. Still,
if he would just play football, let his instincts take over,

(33:36):
he'd be all right. But he's a quarterback for the
team in Chicago. It rarely happens, not since Jake Cutler,
by the way, the fourth best Pree Bay Packers quarterback. Ever,
he's on the Mount Rushmore and Green Bay Packers quarterbacks.
Jake Cutler is that of what university? Derek Vanderbilt. See
how we connect all that, It all comes connected. Caleb

(33:58):
Williams is not that guy, but he could guy I'm
with there, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:02):
He could be j other Way Cutler.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Nice broncos. J Cutler was sick though. All right, that's
our bus going around the horn there, let's get into
our sleepers. One more call, last call for any listeners
wanting to get into the PPR twelve team listener league
with yours truly, the six, the five of us, plus
our boy Ben down Under in Australia and some other listeners.

(34:32):
So if you'd like to be a part of that,
please mention in the comments right now that you're interested
in it, and we will get a hold of you
right away. Also, if you catch this after the fact
on the podcast or on the YouTube side, feel free
to make a comment into any one of our articles
as well. In the next couple of days. Let's see
today's the nineteenth. Let's give you to like the twenty
second to drop that in there, because we do have

(34:54):
drafts coming up this weekend and we want to make
sure everybody is ready to go. The spots will fill fast,
all right, gentlemen, I think this is probably the most fun,
the most intriguing, the most.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
Actually real quick is it is it too late to
change my buss to Anthony Richardson?

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Absolutely, But Anthony Richardson can't be a bust because he's
not a starting quarterback. That's a rule. I forgot.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
You forgot what he was he was twenty four hours ago.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
You know what's you know what's I'll tell you right
now what's gonna happen to Anthony Richardson. He's gonna have
another bum year. They just won't give him shot. Him
and Daniel Jones are gonna fake this shiit season for
the Colts. They're gonna like release him or they're gonna
trade him for for nothing. He's gonna go to an
actual coach and he's gonna be awesome. I really believe that.

(35:45):
I think he's actually talented. He's very young. He's still
younger than like seven of the youngest quarterbacks in the league.
He's a rookie exactly, and he's coming into his third year.
These guys are rookies and he's still younger than them.
Just raw talent as we know, but I think that
could work out if he gets the right coach. So

(36:06):
much of this stuff with these younger players is who
you find as a coaching tree and stuff. So I'm
obviously he's he's not much for us right now, but
he's if he's for free in dynasty leagues, I throw
him on your bench just in case.

Speaker 6 (36:18):
I like, he's Baker Mayfield in two years from now.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah, he's probably better than Baker Mayfield for sure.

Speaker 6 (36:27):
In two years from noon.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
Rodgers or Daniel Jones.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
Uh yikes, Aaron Rodgers, Daniel Jones, good grief.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Aaron Rodgers was nice at the end of the year
last year, but you know we won't talk about him.
Shout out to the cal Bears. All right, let's get
into our sleepers here and we'll run it out once again.
Our sleepers are round eight or later, Round eight or later,
and they are going to, you know, make a squad
at minimum, be a starter hopefully in our fantasy league,

(37:06):
or come out of nowhere. Twenty seventeen Alba Kamara prime example,
way way way down, he was on waiver wires. He
got picked up Boom one people leagues. Hopefully we can
find a Dominon in the rough like that, but in general,
he's the eighth round or later. Matt' lets you go first,
who's your sleeper?

Speaker 2 (37:23):
So I've got four names written down, and I looked
just starting at I went down the ADP from Fantasy
Pros and I started plucking off names. Right now, being
drafted at one oh seven overall is a Mecca Abuka
right so there, but he's got so much helium he
can't be a sleeper, so I crossed him off. Then

(37:44):
I saw it one eighteen Tucker Craft. That's a homer pick.
I crossed him off. Then I went to one forty four,
and I remember how cool Jefferson is and his boy
Sunshine is at one forty four, which I think is
probably borderline offensive to Jeff. And then I settled on
being kind of cool with Jeff because of who his

(38:06):
breakout was. Right now, Bryce Young is being drafted thirteen
and one quarter rounds in at pick one nine, with
three solid receivers, a decent running game, a decent offensive line.
But if you look at what this kid did number

(38:28):
one pick, he failed miserably, fell right on his face.
Year one with Dave Canalis, Canalis sat him down by
the way who brought Baker Mayfield to the Promised.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Land, Dave Pallas.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
He fell on his face.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Canalis had whatever discussion he had with him after Dalton
looked milk toast and he said, we're going to give
you another shot at the end, show me what you
can do. And Bryce Young, regardless of what weeks it was,
at the end, he bawled out. And I think, and
Derek and I have had this talk we've talked about
in our home league. Are we going to press quarterback

(39:05):
up or are we going to push quarterback down? I
was thinking maybe this is the time that we finally
take a top, top quarterback. And when I did this
little bit better research, I think, if you can have
twelve stud players on your roster, to include tight ends,
running backs, and receivers, you can survive in round thirteen
with just snatching up Bryce Young, and then you take

(39:27):
a veteran quarterback after him. If Stafford's back is all right,
you pair him with a guy like Stafford. But Bryce
Young is right now significantly underappreciated. And if that pick's
not good enough, I will say, go out there and
find a guy named Kyle Williams. That's going to be
catching passes from Drake May. But for me, Bryce Young

(39:48):
one point fifty nine thirteen point twenty five draft slots
in thirteen rounds and a quarter We like Bryce to
outperform that.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
I really liked the Bryce Young pick Matt And last
week we did an NFL Bowl prediction on top of
our fantasies, and I went with the Falcons. We had
a lot of Falcons love last week, but I almost
went with the Panthers. I just didn't think they're going
to win the division, so I didn't pick that for them,
but I really liked them to turn it around. And
Bryce Young was real nice down the stretch. And obviously

(40:21):
Jeff believes in Ted McMillan as well, so I like
it a lot. Man. That's a good call, and he's
talked about sleepers and super flex leagues. Bryce Young is
a real nice quarterback that nobody's really thinking about right now.
To pad your stats. That's a great sleeper, all right,
Jeff whore you got my man?

Speaker 4 (40:39):
Yeah, so I chose a quarterback. I think Styles kind
of stole my thunder with Bryce Young, but I love
to pick though. My selection is going to be c J.
Stroud he's currently quarterback eighteen, so that's gonna apply to
super flex and even in twelve man leagues. I just
I think that people are too low on C. J. Stroud.

(40:59):
I know Jags fan and kills me hangs me to
even mention him as being a sleeper. But you know,
his ADP was quarterback five this a season ago. Unfortunately
it didn't pan out. You know, in that season he
had six games over twenty points. Last year he only
had one. So it was a bit of a letdown.

(41:20):
Last year. I think that will be last year would
probably be his worst season. Maybe in the NFL. It
can only go up considering how bad it was. You know,
I like what the Texans did. They brought in Christian
Kirk Drags, you know, slot extraordinary. His first season was Trevor.
He helped him produce a quarterback eight finish, so I
think he gives him a nice slot receiver. You still

(41:43):
have Nico Collins, who many have as a top five receiver.
Mister Styles has him as quarter I mean as receiver six.
They added two rookies second round and a third rounder,
so they're trying to bolster his receiving options. And then
the AFC you know it's gonna be a team that
scores the most points. You're going against the Chiefs, the Bills,

(42:04):
the Ravens, the Bengals, so you gotta score points. So
the Texans front office thought they had to do that
to help CJ. Stroud. You know, under his nice rookie deal,
I don't have to pay him too much still, so
add these playmakers around him. I know the running game
is a question mark. I do think Whatdy marks is
probably gonna be the best running back of the group,
which means they're gonna have to heavily rely on CJ. Stroud.

(42:26):
So I just think he has a way better season.
He's gonna be a steal for what his draft is
as the quarterback eighteen, I do like hist the schedule,
it's the twelve best of quarterbacks, and looking a little
closer into his schedule, twelve out of the seventeen games
are going to be indoors this season, so that I

(42:50):
do like a quarterback's throwing indoors as opposed to quarterback
throwing outdoors. And more so, I love styles. This pick
mine isn't as sexy, but I do think CJ. Stroud
will be at least a top ten quarterback this year.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
I dig it. I'm a little nervous because I'm just
not sure what the Texans are going to do. As
I said earlier, but we saw him do it as
a rookie.

Speaker 6 (43:17):
Yeah, It's it's criminal in some of these drafts when
when all quarterbacks are being depleted and you still see C. J.
Stroud still available, It's it's criminal.

Speaker 5 (43:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (43:28):
After one bad season, I mean it's it's interesting, you know,
after one bad year everyone writes him off and so
hopefully he doesn't go down with the Trevor Lawrence path
because he hasn't really been fantasy relevant unfortunately. So hopefully
what I do think he'll be better.

Speaker 5 (43:45):
It's a good example of how the how the industry
tends to overcorrect. I you know, we went we tended
to go overboard on him last year and this year
since we're punishing him for not not living out.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Yep. Well and he lost his boy. I mean, it's
really tough to have injuries to your squad, Like obviously,
quarterbacks can't do anything about that, be able to overcome
it or not.

Speaker 5 (44:13):
Dell went down, Diggs went down. You know, they had
a lot of injuries on that team.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Last year, and we were bashing mixed a little bit earlier,
and I'm down for that. Last year, he stayed very
effective still, so the run game was fine. I mean,
he wasn't crazy efficient, but he was effective all Uh
Josh Jacobs and he was just fine. Bryce Young playoff
schedule at the Aints, Bucks at home and then the

(44:40):
Seahawks at home as well. I like that a lot.
And uh, we just had Stroud up there as well,
Carolina at home, raid Is at home, and the Chargers
on the road. But those that's been kind of a
sieve for past defenses. So both those guys could be
real nice if you're either drafting him now or you're
able to pick him up later on. We well, we

(45:01):
will have more talk about fantasy schedules coming up. Some
believe in it, some don't believe in it. I happen
to believe in it the first weeks of the season,
first four weeks of the season. I do care about
fantasy playoffs. I do care about Otherwise. I think it's
kind of a wash. Dave, you're up, who's your sleeper?

Speaker 5 (45:18):
Okay, my sleeper is a guy that also is to me,
is just getting completely overcorrected and I'm not exactly sure
what the expectations were for him last year. I will
go with Matt's favorite team, and I'm going to select
as my sleeper Jaden Reid. Last year he was wide

(45:40):
receiver twenty nine in PPR and the year before he
was wide receiver twenty five in PPR. Points per game
is a little bit different story, but you got to
be out there to get points, so he was forty
second in points per game. But still last year he
was ranked wide receiver thirty six going into drafts by

(46:03):
Rotoballer and wide receiver thirty eight by Tristan Cockroft on ESPN.
I couldn't I didn't keep records on draft rankings last year,
and I couldn't find a lot, but those two kind
of stuck out. I can't imagine there was a lot
of difference. And on other sites he is actually wide

(46:27):
receiver forty two this year on Football Guys and why
receiver forty eight on Fantasy Pros. To me, that's this
is a guy that actually I know he's I know
he's hurt right now. This could come back and bite me,
and he doesn't. He doesn't get a lot of touches,

(46:49):
but he's he's incredibly efficient with them, and if they
do give him the ball, he manages to do good
things with a lot of it.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Davy sir, Nope, Okay, everybody else there, yep, that's right,
Cruisey if you catch us, man, just come on back,
data Reid. Let's go to the Packers Homer real quick
for quick analysis and the Packers wide receiver corp Dontavian Wicks.

(47:33):
I gave it a shout out to last week. Matt
shot it down immediately, Matt, how's the wide receiver corps
looking at Green Bay?

Speaker 2 (47:42):
I like the players, but I will tell you that
the if you watched any of the preseason game against
the Jets, and it's preseason, they looked awful. There was
I think it was four drops on seven targets for
Jordan of And and they were drops. They were not contested,

(48:03):
they were they were just flat out drops.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
Two of them to wis not surprising. Uh.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
And there's a lot of moles to feed in Green Bay, right,
Matthew Gold and Jaden Reid, Romeo Dobbs went healthy, Christian
Watson probably at mid season, Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave is healthy,
Josh Jacobs out of the backfield.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
Who you love.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
It's there's a lot of mouths to feed, and it's
the first time I've said it in public or.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
Even out loud. I'm not sure Jordan Love is the guy.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
He just has not with that amount of weaponry and
the fact that they trailed in a lot of games.
Will and maybe say this, Josh Jacobs was absolutely insane
last year, So maybe they didn't throw enough, and maybe
that I have recency biased because I didn't see enough
passing from him, But he just I don't I don't

(48:56):
feel it. I don't know that he commands the offense.
And I'm clearly not in the huddle or in the
in the room with them. I do not believe I
roster Jordan Love once and I'm not upset by it.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
Fair Enough, all right, Well, Packers fans buckle up once again.
That's the toughest division of football. Arguably, if the Bears
actually have a pulse these days, we will see what
happens in that division. It'll be interesting. Okay, Derek, we're
gonna go to you. Who's a sleeper.

Speaker 6 (49:29):
Yeah, So I'm going to stay with the wide receiver
position as well. This is a third year wide receiver
who's the clear number two on his team. He's being
drafted way down in the fourteenth round, picked at as
wide receiver number sixty two. So I could tell you
last year he had twenty percent or more targets in

(49:54):
almost half the games he played for his team. I
could tell you four game games when he had a
gun slinging quarterback, he averaged over eighteen PPR points per game.
I could give you some more stats, but I don't
need to because anything I need to do to reveal
my sleeper is discussed. The quarterback Cedric Tillman is my

(50:22):
sleeper this year, especially now that now that Joe Flacco
has been named the starter for the Cleveland Browns, now
that we've got a gun slinging quarterback, Cedric Hillman should
have a monster September. He's going to be my sleeper
at least for the first month the season while Joe
Flacco's at quarterback. Loves Cedric Tillman. This year. He's coming

(50:45):
ultra cheap again at wide receiver sixty two in the
fourteenth round. They want to grab them in the thirteenth round.
Sky If you don't take him by the thirteenth round,
this weekend, you might not get him.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Got him in the twelfth. So there you go, there
you go.

Speaker 6 (51:03):
No Cedric Tillman, you know, No, there's a little bit
of excitement now with the Browns, and I think Cedric
Tillman is one that's going to be a beneficiary there.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Wow, I like it a lot.

Speaker 6 (51:16):
Ye, Jamie love it, love it, Jamie.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
Yeah, I mean I yeah, Jamie's the Browns. Browns home,
me too. Cedric Tillman's awesome. Last year he came in hot.
It was great, and you know, we want to see it.
And look, say what you want about Joe Flacco. He's
a lot of fun for fantasy football, and he's kind
of the poor man's Jamis Winston at this point. And
why not have a Bob Lamarco pick on the panel

(51:42):
for sleepers? You know what I'm saying. So I like
it a lot, and I like what you said, Derek.
He's gonna have a great September. I love that. The
first four weeks are going to be super fun and
then we'll see what happens. David Cruise is back with us.
You want to finish up your point there, my man,
I really.

Speaker 5 (51:58):
Can't read right now. I just came in to apologize
the power went.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Out here, so, oh my goodness, I'm kind of in
the dark. Yeah, yeah, literally in the.

Speaker 5 (52:10):
Yeah. And I even paid my bills, so so anyway,
I'm gonna go I'm gonna go ahead. I'm I'm using
my cell plan. It's not working too well, so I'm
gonna go ahead and drop off.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
You got it, buddy, Be safe, man, Thank you.

Speaker 5 (52:24):
Yep. Thanks.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Now that that right there might be fake news. We'll
see if Trailing Burks ever gets to play again, but
as of right now, that's probably legit. I'll get into
my sleeper and we'll run it out. Gentlemen. My sleeper
here is the new hotness, and he's not gonna be
a sleeper for much longer. So I'm I'm just jumping
on the bandwagon before it's cooler than it already. Is

(52:53):
my boy Jakari Krossky merrit aka Bill. He only goes
by a first name. He prefers to go by Bill,
which is incredibly interesting. Running back for the Washington football team,
This one's crazy, super fun. I'm a brock purty guy

(53:14):
obviously as a Niner fan, so I'm rooting for the
seventh rounders. Who never make it in the NFL. But
this kid's a seventh round pick of running back right
now for Washington. He was PFF's fourth highest running back
in college at New Mexico in two thousand and twenty three,
so at a small school. He's a small running back.

(53:36):
He looks like a younger Austin Eckler, which is awesome
that they're both in the backfield. I like that a
lot can catch passes. Brian Robinson is like very openly
out there for trading, so they're probably going to be
moving him one way or another pretty soon. Eckler moves up,
and then you have Bill coming up as well. Scored
a twenty seven yard touchdown scamper against the Bungles, and

(53:58):
then he had three other impressive shifty runs as well.
I just like this kid. I like dudes with burst.
I like players that get the opportunity and run with
it pun intended. And I'm really stoked on him. And again,
there's a lot of hype right now with this kid,
and rightfully so, but I do believe that it'll come

(54:20):
through for him. So right now with sleeper and let's
see where do I have him in the well right now?
He's in the he's RB fifty six in the thirteenth round.
That's gonna change overnight, I'm sure. But even outside of
the top ten rounds, he's a he's a high level
handcuff at minimum. And who knows what we're gonna get
into Austin Eckler, But this kid might at least get,

(54:43):
you know, thirty percent of the snaps early and then
if anything happens, he might get more work. So he's
just an awesome, fun spark plug I'm putting at the
end of my benches right now. Don't forget the name
Bill Crosskey Merrit aka Jakari Krosskey Merrit when you're looking
them up in the systems. Anybody else hyped on my

(55:05):
boy Bill? I like Bill.

Speaker 4 (55:07):
I wrote about him in My Dynasty, Yes, sir, yeah,
I almost also chose Taj Brooks, who played last night
against some you know, I'm curious how Chase Brown is
going to hold up over the length of the season,
and Taj might might get some carries there.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
Actually I like it. Jeff appreciate it. I was going
to go back around the panel real quick here. If
you guys have an extra name or two that maybe
you didn't write up for this exercise, but when your
research you were naming the couple. We've we've named a
few alternates as we went, but Matt'll start with you.
Do you have another name or two that would be
a breakout, sleeper or bust breakouts?

Speaker 3 (55:47):
I had three receivers. I've talked about Roma Dounsday to
add nauseum.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
The other one I had is Jacoby Myers, who's currently
eighty eight off the board, and I think he is
probably gonna out before from that, and then I mentioned
a bust Cooper Cup Eastern Washington University. I don't really
want him to be a bust, but he's coming off
the board one picks before Diagobe Myers and I'm not
sure that's a good move.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
That's probably all main value. That's all that is right now.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Jeff, you got any extra name since Sky is in
the ether with Dave.

Speaker 4 (56:28):
Yeah, Like I mentioned Taj, I do like him. Another
one is the other speaking of the Bears, Kyle Monoga
and I the RB two spot is always nice and
Ben Johnson and I'm not sure he really likes DeAndre
Swift because he helped trade him out of Detroit when
he was there so possible that he gets some he

(56:52):
gets some carries. It's some tds. If Kayla Williams can't
throw touchdowns, they're going to run him in.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Sorry, guys, the power went out, Derek anybody.

Speaker 6 (57:04):
Yeah, So my other buss that I was considering, of course,
justin Fields. I've told you guys before. I just I
just don't see whatever what other industry folks are seeing
with him. I just don't see it there, and I
need to. I don't believe in the Jets either until
I until I see it, I don't believe in it.
But the other name was really struggling with, and I

(57:28):
don't think he's a buss per se. But you know,
we you know our criteria was failed to reach a DP. Well,
this is the second round. Running back Jonathan Taylor, I'm
and is less about fear of the player more. It's
more of the situation. I'm a little more optimistic now
with with Daniel Jones at quarterback than I was with

(57:51):
Anthony Richardson. But still, you know, they've got a pretty good.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Line Daniel Jones, Daniel Jones.

Speaker 6 (58:00):
But yeah, I mean there's just there's just not much
in that Indianapolis offense that are that's going to prevent
defenses from really focusing on Taylor, and so it's gonna
be really hard for him, I think, to refined all
that running room. Again, I'm a little a little more

(58:20):
optimistic with with dimes that quarterback than I was the
other way. But I still I just don't think he's
gonna I think we're looking at maybe a fourth round
fantasy running back now the second rounder, So a little
little down on him. And as far as sleepers go,
I had a ton of sleepers. Evan Ingram, who's going

(58:40):
in the ninth round. I love, love Evan Ingram. This year,
Christian Kirk we talked about, you know, the Texans a
little bit. He's going to the eleventh round. Tank big spy,
you know. Man, if he if he gets even close
to half the carries there, he's he's well over his
twelfth round value there. And then Damario Douglas as well

(59:02):
with the Patriots in the fourteenth round. Those were some
other players that I like.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
I love that. I don't know that he's he can't
break out because he already did it. He's definitely not
a sleeper per se. But Deebo Samuel I think was
kind of written off when he went to Washington, and
he played very minimally the other night. But he looks
healthy right now. He's obviously an animal with the ball
in his hands, and Tara mclaurin's not doing anything right now.

(59:29):
So keep an eye on on Deebo who, I mean,
really any if he's any amount of previous Deebo Samuel,
who's at least a wide receiver too, high end wide
receiver too. You're getting him in the middle rounds right now.
At at best. I mean he might go in like
the seventh eighth round, So I don't know what category
he would fit into. But don't forget about Deebo Samuel.

(59:50):
And then just a random dart throw really Rashid Shaheed
and in New Orleans, Shuck looks good. Shuck actually played
at Oregon for a season. He wasn't much for us,
why he transferred out, it wasn't really room for him.
But he played okay here. So I got to watch
him a little bit in college and he actually looked

(01:00:12):
decent in the Saints preseason game. He's definitely airing the
ball out, And again, I mean, we don't know what
we're gonna get out of chrys Olave who I'm hoping
bounces back in a big way, but we just don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:00:23):
So.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Rashid Shaheeda is free basically, and he's a sleeper and
a breakout and he's costing you nothing. So he's Jamison
Williams right. I mean, he's gonna have some twenty five
point games. He's gonna have a couple of zeros, I'm sure,
but definitely in best Ball and potentially in some deeper
just bye week fillers. Rashid Jaheed would be a name

(01:00:43):
I throughout there as well. All right, gentlemen, any final
comments before we get out of here. We're at the
hour mark again. I want to welcome everybody if you're
tuning in late or thank you for sticking around with us.
Another episode of the ras Ball Fantasy Football Show. We
got Matt, Jeff and Derek as well. Davey had the
kid out a little bit earlier. We have a quick

(01:01:04):
quiz where is MBS playing football today? The question is
is he playing football today? And if so, where I'm
gonna bounce back at you, Matt? Is he playing in
the NFL? Okay, I have no idea I'm gonna go
with Uh. I would say Kansas City, but I feel

(01:01:28):
like he already did that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
Run now in Seattle.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
Oh, get out of here the Seattle poll. Are you joking? Man? Wow?
Nice job. Shout out to the Mariners. Wow, NBS nice
another player that, Hey, he'll throw he'll throw up a
couple two hundred and two's for you, and also a
few goose eggs. Love to see that. Uh nobody mentioned

(01:01:55):
Darren Waller there, Yeah, no, no talk. Was that on purpose? Okay?
All right, fair enough, Hot John, We're gonna go back
around the horn. Give us anything you'd like here with
your final fifteen seconds of fame before we get out
of here. Matt, you're on the clock.

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
They've got nothing to add.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
I am spent, as they say, love.

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
It, Jeff, I'm good as well, I will say. DeVante
Adams will also be a bust.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Whoa, whoa, Wow, you're just gonna I have nothing to say. Uh,
probably semi colon, I think right there, right, that's semi colon,
and then drops a bomb after Matt proclaimed that he
was done and not when now I have to kick
it back to Matt, Are you actually done talking for
the night?

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
Just remember that pookin Makua gave his jersey number back
to DeVante Adams out of respect, which Jeff should learn.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
So I agree, that's that's a good clubhouse move from Puka,
not so much from Jeff. That was kind of a
low blow late in the program, Matt. Matt's kind of like,
you know, loosen up his defense a little bit there,
loosen the tie bo. Jeff comes just haymaker right at
the end there, That was right.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
I rope a dope and I looked in the crowd
and it was too late. By the time, Jeff was
already swinging from his heels.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
Jeez, I guess you got to play to the buzzer, Matt.
That's all it is, played to the whistle.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
I mean, he couldn't he couldn't go after a bear.
Oh Dj Moore, he sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
He's going to be a bust. Nope, you gotta go
after the Hall of Famer.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
From Green Bay.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:42):
I like, just not the season.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Yeah, shout out Fresno State. All right, Derek, you got
anything for us?

Speaker 6 (01:03:53):
Yeah? So, well, there's a reason why Jeff's handle is underscore.
Underscore because he likes to, you know, stick, stay role
low and then come up swinging, So that makes that
makes a lot of sense. No, Well, for me, I
just want to make sure we've got Jamie in one
of our leagues here. I think we do, right. I mean,
we've got him on He's in the Guillotine League if

(01:04:14):
I'm not mistaken. But I want to make sure we
get Jamie in. He's he's one of our most our
most favorite.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
Jamie confirmed for us. Let's find them here.

Speaker 5 (01:04:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
I believe, big, big game, James. I believe. And that's
in the Guillotine League.

Speaker 6 (01:04:30):
Nice, all right, looking forward to that draft with Jamie.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
Yeah, yeah, and Jamie, remember, just don't be last. That's
the rules. Okay, cool, Well, I'll run us out here.
