Speaker 1 (00:04):
Whoa, Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Guess we're live. We're live. Welcome in. I don't know
what's happened, having some tough technical difficulties here, but uh
so we're here for buy sell today. We're loading in.
We got some players we're gonna talk about. Uh ff, medietters, Man,
are you guys ready to get started? Let's do it? Man?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Can we have a rougher start than this?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
How about that? How about that? Well? Welcome in, whoever's here.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I do think the start to this is no more
rough than thunders finished.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah or not, It's true the Thunder had a really
rough time. We're gonna bounce back tonight. I believe Thunder
up baby Thunder and five. Well, uh, we're gonna do
some buy sell today. We're gonna talk some DICE players.
So if you're here, be sure to let us know
in the chat, give the like us or slight the
stream comment. If you've got any trade questions you're on
(01:04):
the clock, let us know we are happy to answer those.
We're gonna talk about six different players. Let you know
whether we're buying, whether we're selling, maybe what the prices are.
Kind of give you the status of what's going on
with these players. But let's just get started, guys. The
biggest news today is George Pickens finds his way on
the move to the Dallas Cowboys. You know, big time
player can make big plays, but hasn't necessarily replicated that
(01:26):
on the field thus far. You know, so far has
fantasy finishes have been forty two, twenty six, and thirty seven.
This past season, he had nine hundred yards with only
three touchdowns. The biggest question we have, guys, is is
George Pickens a buy or is he a sell heading
to the Dallas Cowboys. I'm gonna start with you, coach,
what's your thoughts on George Pickens and what are you
(01:47):
doing with him in Dynasty.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'll be honest, I don't think there's a better time
to sell George Pickens than right now. This is prime time,
and it's even better that he went to the Dallas Cowboys.
Man you're in has some kind of Dallas Cowboy fan
and they're dying to buy some George Pickens right now.
I just think the guy's very just okay, average. I
don't think he's the lead or anything like that. The
(02:11):
question will be, you know, will he commit himself to
playing hard and fighting through any adversity. They're in Dallas,
you know, especially when Ceedee Lamb is wide receiver one,
how does he handle that? You know, things like that
are questions. There's no doubt in my mind that you
will have a Dallas Cowboy owner somewhere in your league
that wants to get George Pickens on his team right now.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, I mean, just the name, capital the value there
moving to the Dallas Cowboys. You mentioned it. A lot
of people are gonna be really excited about that. You know.
I was texting with you today, Coach, and with Pete
and Hoff and I let you know that I went
and asked all my Dallas Cowboy friends. You know, what's
your thoughts on this? Everyone seems to believe that this
is a top wide receiver duo in the entire league overall,
(02:55):
above Chase and Higgins. I had multiple people tell me
that that's crazy to me. So I would be capitalizing
that on that as well. You know, I think you
can move him, and now's the time. Like coach said,
you can get some pretty extreme value for George Pickens.
But Tyler, what are you doing with with Pickens? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I would sell him to Like Coach said, this is
the perfect time going to the Cowboys. You know, like
coach said, you've got you've got one of those at
least in every league. And so I think his value
is probably down because joining the Steelers and people kind
of looked at him, you know, it's value before now,
(03:35):
but with him going to the Cowboys, I think it's
probably an uptick in value, and I think you should
capitalize on it because we were already having people, you know,
clamoring for the wide receiver to as the Cowboys. And
if you've got George Pickens fan who's a Cowboys fan
as well, go go trade you know, whatever you can
(03:56):
or whatever you can for him or get back for him.
I guess I should say so I would sell him.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
We know, I don't really have a lot of shares
of George Pickens, honestly, but something today told me a
lot about his value because I was all of a
sudden receiving multiple trade requests for Dak Prescott. People are
trying to get Dak Prescott today in the leagues that
I own him in, and it makes me just wonder,
you know, I'm sure they're trying to do the same
for George Pickens right now. I mean, I just think
(04:25):
it's prime time to trade him if you can.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, I think Dak's probably the biggest winner of this
mover overall. I mean, he gets another weapon that he
gets to use outside of Cebee Lamb. Maybe some pressure
taken off there. We'll see what happens with Ferguson as
we move forward, But for the most part, I'm not
really sure that I'm gonna expect Pickens to suddenly become
everything that everyone wants him to be. I mean, if
you go back and look at his production, it's just
(04:50):
simply not there. He makes fantastic catches, contested catches, but
at the end of the day, he hasn't necessarily been
the guy to stretch the field and you know, get
open at all times of the game. I mean, he's
never had more than sixty five catches in a year
and he's only missed three games in his entire career.
So when you really look at that, how much value
is he added. He's stable production, but I wouldn't say
(05:12):
he's elite production.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, I mean, I'm totally I agree at one hundred percent.
He does have some great catches, like you say, I mean,
he does those things that are highlight real plays, but
he doesn't get tons of separation. That's the major issue
in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, yeah, the league that the league that we're all
in together. You know, last year he was the wide
receiver forty two. You know, that's where he finished. So
if you get somebody that thinks he's going to be
a top twenty four wide receiver, like a wide receiver
two or something, and they want to pay that price,
by all means, go right ahead for it, because I
(05:49):
like you guys have brought up you know, it's not
he's great at contested catches, that he can make some
flashy catches, but he's just not going to be the
target hag Yeah, I mean one hundred and three targets
last year, one hundred and six the year before. I
think what everyone would say is, well, the offense in
Pittsburgh hasn't necessarily been anything to write home about, and
that's true. But as it stands right now in Dallas,
(06:10):
I think again the biggest benefactor of Pickens being moved
is going to be Dak Prescott. It's not going to
be necessarily that suddenly, you know, Pickens is going to
be a top twelve wide receiver I think that dream
is far and away not happening. You know, It's just
not come to fruition at any point in time in
Pickens's career thus far. So I'm not going to expect
(06:33):
that it's suddenly going to change now that he's in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Well, yeah, and he does.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Help the room, right, he does help the Cowboys as
a whole. I mean, there's he's definitely better than all
the other guys that they had as options for wide
receiver too, So, I mean there is that for the
offense in Dallas. But so that can potentially help Dak
Prescott somewhat, assuming he will actually fall through and play
hard the entire season and have a have a good
(07:01):
attitude and all those things. And there's more potential there
than Cavante Turpin I would imagine, or Cooks either or Mingo.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, I mean, I'm totally with you guys, but I
think we're ready to move on to our next player.
If you're here, be sure to throw some comments in there.
Let us know you're here. If you got a question
on a player, let us know we're happy to come
back to that. If you're on the clock, let us
know who's available. Will help you make your pick. We
are happy to talk. We're just doing some buy sales
right now. But let's jump to our next player, guys,
and let's talk about Drake London. You know, suddenly ascended
(07:36):
into that role that I think coach believed he could
be the entire time. Last year finished his wide receiver
five one hundred and fifty eight targets with one hundred receptions.
He had almost thirteen hundred yards and nine touchdowns. Now
we see Michael Pennix take over this offense. The question
is is are you buying are you selling? Coach? I
think I know your answer will start with you because
this is your guy.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, I mean I'm one hundred percent of buy on
Drake London. I mean it was the top five wide
receiver in PPR last year and half PPR for that matter.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
He has a great rapport with Michael Pennix.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
As you said, he's really the only wide receiver in Atlanta.
I mean, we can't talk about like Mooney and all
these guys, like their great weapons, they're just not. London's
far superior to all those guys. Kyle Pitts is not
even really a threat for targets there. In my opinion,
London's gonna get peppered with targets from Penix. The coach
really has built the offense now around Drake London when
(08:29):
it comes to throwing the football, especially like they're going
to get him the ball, and I think they saw
the difference that it made down the stretch last year
for them in the last couple of games offensively, I
just I feel really good about Drake London moving forward.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah, I'm totally with you. I think it's wheels up
in Atlanta. I mean, you see what Pennix can do,
and I really like the relationship that I saw kind
of build at the end of the season this past year,
and I think it can go pretty high. I mean,
London is a guy that I think can stretch the field.
He can mak contested catches, but he can also make
plays after the catch. He's sneaky athletic. You know a
(09:04):
lot of people are comparing Tet to him. He's better
than Tech McMillan. I just want to get that out there.
I think that comp is just overused simply in my opinion.
But Tyler, what are you doing with Drake Clenner? Are
you buyinery selling?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
So I'm actually gonna go against the green here, I
would sail at this point. I think you probably saw
his ceiling here with the wide reever wide receiver five
season last year. Out of the you know, seventeen games
they played because of the buye, he had one, two, three, four,
(09:38):
five weeks where he was above the wide receiver fifteen.
So I mean, yeah, sure, like he can be consistent
and get you nine to twelve points a whole lot.
And sure maybe he steps up in the offense with
Michael Pennix. But although we can't say that Mooney and
those guys are elite targets, they do take targets away
(10:01):
from him regardless, if Kyle Pitts gets any more involved
than he has been, which there's been coach speak about
that already this offseason. Now whether or not that comes
to fruition is a whole other thing. But you know,
if he gets more involved, if they involve Bejon Moore
in the past game, if Mooney continues to take up
targets or whoever, it doesn't matter at this point, I
(10:24):
think you could easily move back, go get like a
JSN type or somebody like Travis Hunter. I would take
Travis Hunter right now over Drake London. That's just me though, So.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I would sell.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I would see what you can get out of him
and just see where his value lies for people in
your league.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Real quick, coach, before you go, I just want to
say that Pennix only had three games. He played Week sixteen,
seventeen and eighteen. He had a small sample against Denver
in week eleven. I'm not going to count that Henley
through the ball four times, but in those three games
he had one hundred and one pass attempt so averaging
almost thirty one. Again, I think what we can do
(11:07):
is really see that number rise up higher. And I
think that's not necessarily going to necessarily, excuse me, I
don't think that's necessarily going to result in Drake London
having lower targets. I mean, he had one hundred and
fifty eight last year. Year before that, one hundred and
ten
Whoa, Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Guess we're live. We're live. Welcome in. I don't know
what's happened, having some tough technical difficulties here, but uh
so we're here for buy sell today. We're loading in.
