Good morning. What is going on? Welcome to another edition of Fantasy Football Daily here at FantasyPoint.com. Let's help. That's the old cheat. I am not Theo Greminger. I am John Hansen filling in for Theo. I like our tweet that Trey Camberling put out. The hardest working man in fantasy is right now I'd say Theo Greminger. But maybe of all time, that could be yours truly. I have an average. about 4.4 jobs in this industry over the last 30 years. And this is kind of what my vision was with fantasy points. Let's surround the company with a bunch of people who are very talented and all in. Let them do their content. And I'm still here. I'm still putting out my content, the podcast, twice a week now, writing articles,

which will start ramping up. And then if you need a filling guy like Theo did this morning, just give me a call. And here I am. Good to go, good to rock and roll. Normally our guy, Trey Camberling, is on the other side of the glass, as they say, producing this here live stream. But today, because, you know, I didn't get a ton of notice on this puppy. And we need to get Trey some more FaceTime. If for no other reason, then his cartoon image is so awesome that it needs to be put out there on the inner web.

Trey, good morning to you, sir. We're going to go back and forth here on this year. live stream, you know, pretty basic stuff. We're just going to pop out five guys each who are our guys. I've got five guys who are my guys. And I will say, you know, I've been obviously staring at the ADP looking at draft boards. I did a big FFPC, big gorilla draft over the weekend. And maybe it's a function of everybody knows everything now. Maybe I'm in a little bit of a hive where I think, you know, everything is obvious. But I don't find myself like pounding the table for a bunch of guys this year.

It's still early. But I do have five players that I am into. And by the way, happy June, today being June 1st. But I do have my five guys, Trey. I'm ready to rock and roll. I've drafted, let's see, two of them in the FFPC over the weekend. So we'll just go back and forth and hammer home some points on our guys. What's going on with you, sir?

Not too much. Happy to be here. I always say when we get together, it's like they're letting the outdoor cat inside. So I come from behind the glass and get to make it happen. I told Joe Dolan this morning, you know, people say when you get that dynamic duo together, it's like Jordan and Pippen. I say, you know, me and you are like, you know, Jordan and Dickie Simpkins. You know, I'm happy to be the ninth man off the bench and roll with the go.

about Michael Jordan. So super excited about this. And yeah, like you said, I feel like all the information, the information is plentiful these days. So sometimes you could find some edges in going against what everybody else is saying. And I think I do a good job of that from time to time. So that's why I went with a lot of my picks, but very excited to see what you've got going on with your five guys. Yeah. And sometimes I just find that, you know, my guys, let's see, the ADPs for my guy. I got one of my guys in the FFPC, tight-in premium, in round four. I got another one in round seven. Let's see. And I got another one around six. So I got, I drafted three. Actually, no, I got another one around three. So maybe the round three guy, maybe the round four guy. It might seem a little

too, quote-unquote, obvious. We don't want to really talk too much about players whose ADPs are like, I don't know, 41. But hey, guess what? Your fourth round pick, maybe it's a, fairly household name, but is he good? Does he produce? Does he outproduces ADP? Does he finish higher than his positional ADP? If the answer is yes, that it's a good pick. So even though it might be somewhat obvious, I think these are very, very good players to target. So now, we didn't go over this. Do you want me to go like, go count five to one, one to five? Do you want me to pop out my, my favorite. Yeah, this is, this is all like, this is live TV folks.

This is vibes based and I know you're the king of the vibes. So whatever you're feeling, rock with and I'll make sure it gets up on the screen and the people will get what they want. So this is, like I said, we're vibing out today. However you're feeling, we're going to make it happen. All right. Well, let's just, let's start with a guy who, his ADP is right now 72. I got him in round six.

in the FFPC. Again, tight end premium. It's not a tight end. This is a guy who last year, he was out early in the season. Then he rejoined the team and, you know, was inserted in the lineup rather quickly. I don't think I've ever seen a guy improve more

from year to year, from one year to the next in terms of his hands. No more double catches. his his physicality at the catch point and his ability to you know show toughness and play through contact and this is important because everything I just mentioned was kind of it's probably his biggest issue in the in the career and also dating back to college I was actually I remember watching the senior bowl and this guy I'm pretty sure um had was wide open for like a big play in the actual game and he dropped it and I'm like well okay this is probably going to be a problem

with this guy I was all in on this guy as my breakout receiver heading into 2024 he did rank top five an average separation score that year end win rate and he also had a sick 21.4 yards per reception average I am talking about Christian Watson I am all in on Christian Watson I know that that, well, we all know that Romeo Dobbs is no longer there, Don Tavian Wicks is no longer there. I'm not even really looking at like target shares and all that because I mean, those two dudes are gone. I just have like this gut feeling and part of it is the construction of the roster because they lost two wide receivers of note and they really didn't replace them with anyone. I just feel like Matt LaFleur is going to focus in on a few receivers here. Some of it is necessity and some of it is, you know, enough of this working in four, five, six receivers here.

You know, I mean, maybe that hasn't helped, uh, Jordan Love. Let's focus and get the ball to our best players. And obviously, Watson is the best on the team. I have a term me and Adam Kaplan. I mean, we kind of commit, I'm going to say we invented it. But it was a very important term as it related to receivers because, look, you know, a lot of teams have a lot of depth that receivers. but who on your team commands the ball? And that would certainly be Mr. Christian Watson.

I mean, he was great. I mean, he was unbelievable. He posted the best catch rate of his career last year at 63.3 while maintaining a very high 17.5 yard per reception average. He had a plet. They had a plethora of receiving options. But he did kind of look like the alpha he produced against man, 2.4. 5.55 yards per route run. That's excellent. He produced against zone 2.87 yards per route run even better. You know, look, red zone guy too. You know, what's his face?

He's driven me crazy a little bit. Jordan Love. I've kind of been in on Jordan Love. And, you know, the mechanics, the footwork, not so great. But he certainly can get Christian Watson the ball, especially in the end zone. Watson has scored 20 touchdowns on only 133 career receptions. That is an excellent 15% rate. So if Watson catches a ball 15% of the time, it is for a tutty. I did put him on my, our, man, what is the name of that article? The brain trust. The brain trust.

I was thinking think think tank. Close enough. I did put him as my, granted, It's a dark horse to be the wide receiver one. I mean, it's a serious dark horse. But, you know, I mean, look at Devante Adams. He's going to need Devante Adams like touchdown love. Adams was the overall wide receiver nine last year.

And that's despite only catching 60 balls for 789. So I think a healthy Watson will absolutely clear 70 receptions, 1,200 yards. And if you can play, let's say, every game, I think it's within the realm of possible outcomes. at the very least, Trey, wide receiver won numbers, which is top 12 wide receiver. The best thing going for you right now with Christian Watson is that I drafted him last year. So that's always a good sign for me. If it was a guy that I thought was going to be the guy last year and they flopped, you know, it's always going to work out to next year.

So yeah, this is spot on. I mean, they consolidated down a little bit, got rid of Romeo Dobbs. And I think that is huge for Jordan Love if they can, you know, condense it. down, get him in a little bit more of a rhythm. He is close. I think people are a little preemptive to crown him, you know, this already great quarterback. But he's close. You can't say he's not close. So cadets it down, get Tucker Kraft back. And yeah, this is an offense where somebody is going to emerge as the guy. If you go back and look at last year's class, you look at the wide receivers in that class, it looks a little bit rougher outside of some of the top guys. You know,

Matthew Golden. I don't believe much in Matthew Golden. I don't believe much in Matthew Golden. I He could emerge and, you know, he is relatively cheap right now. But for my money, I absolutely would bet on Christian Watson. I think this is an excellent bet. And I've got some picks on my board that are in the same vein. Final thought. Final thought on Watson before we move on. Sorry.

You know, I'm big. You know, you just said vibes. And I know I annoy people about mentioning my interactions with these players. I'm not name dropping. It's more part of my process. You know, like if I'm, look, I met Trey Camberling. We did a conference call with him. I'm like, this guy's awesome.

Three years later, he's rock. He's destroying it. All the guys of fantasy points, why did I bring them in? Because I vibed him out. And guess what? I was right. So this is why I bring it up. But I interviewed him, great kid, great guy.

I believe his father is like a preacher, you know, pretty squeaking clean, very friendly and all that. But not only that, as I've mentioned a million times, I actually know Bo Melton. his teammate. I grew up with his father. His father played football at Rutgers, very dialed in. There's a picture of me interviewing Watson. And, you know, we had Gary Melton, his name.

Shout out to Gary. I had a lot of battles on the playground with him growing up. We never played against each other because we lived in the same town, but a lot of battles with him. And I ran it up the flag ball. I'm like, what do you think of this Watson kid, right? Great kid. He's like, oh, yeah.

So, I mean, I also like to invest in like just, straight up good dudes i always think there's a correlation between dominating on the field being reliable on the field and just just being a good dude quite frankly yeah one 100 percent yeah the vibes are the vibes are the way to go and uh the more you deal with people and and obviously i'm not trying to to do the guru name drop thing either like you said you're not trying to do i i did work in the NBA and uh you know i worked for a team where the vibes you know at times were immaculate uh you know personality-wise and then the vibes at times were not so much. And the vibes do do shift the narrative and shift, shift the winds, if you will,

and make things tougher at times if the vibes are not correct. So you got to believe in the vibes. You got to make sure that the vibes are right. It is, it might sound like it's, you know, tangential or outside the realm of what's important, but the vibes do definitely matter. Well, the vibes also real quick, the vibes are, we're not just randomly pulling out vibes here. I mean, the foundation of the vibe is, you know, the player and his talent and his production up until this point. So it's, it's all part of the process and all that. But it's not

just like, oh, you know, I was feeling it. No, it's you, you're gathering up all this information to come up with the vibe. And then when you maybe meet a guy or interact with a guy or, you know, know, know someone who knows the guy. And if the vibes continually are good there, then you're like, all right, we got a guy we're going to take. It's the, you piece it together, right? Yeah. If you have your priors, then you piece it together with the vibe that. One thing I asked him, sorry to cut you off again.

You're good. One thing I asked, I just want to, I have these thoughts. I want to get them out there. One thing I asked them, because this is like, what, four years ago at the combine. I asked him about the deboization. Speaking of vibes, I was a big debo guy. I happened to meet him a couple of times, interviewed him before his combat. But the deboization of the NFL, I asked him if he was up for that.

He's like, oh, yeah, I would absolutely love that. Now, we haven't necessarily seen that, but can you imagine if they start giving Christian Watson a bunch of design targets, screens and all that? That will help because, you know, downfield, he's got it going on and into the red zone. I think that that could happen because if they started giving Christian Watson screens,

and maybe, God forbid, maybe they give them a carrier or two with the Josh Jacobs situation. I think the fantasy space would lose their mind because of obviously Jordan Reed in the building and Savian Williams from TCU, also in the building who got, I don't know, 140 carries, I think, in college, his final year, whatever it was. So that would be perfect for the fantasy analyst because everyone would just maybe, I don't know,

retire. Maybe like, we don't know. We don't know anything, you know. But I could see it. I mean, he's a great athlete. Like, it makes a lot of sense to me. Absolutely. I'll scoot over to my first guy here.

And if you've watched any of my programs on best bets with Joe Dolan and Tom Brawley, by the way, Guru will be joining that program during the season because, geez, Louise, These bets are unreal. We've got to get them on the show. So guru will be there. This episode is brought to you by Nespresso. Hear that? That's your next obsession.

Every coffee, a new world. Every sip, a new taste. This is the new espresso. One touch, endless possibilities. Iced, flavored, long, short. Because some days call for that espresso kick. And sometimes, a smooth, silky latte just wins. It's exceptional but effortless.

Like actually. effortless. Simply press, brew, and explore. Nespresso. What else? Keep exploring at nespresso.com. I'm going with Devante Adams. You know, how many times do we have to say it, right? Like Matthew Stafford, wide receivers, just print for fantasy football. And it goes back to Kenny Ghaladay.

It goes back to, you know, all these guys back in the day that weren't even superstars. Well, guess what? Now his wide receiver, too, is a bona fide superstar. Devante Adams here, we've got him going. You know, he's a fifth round guy and was wide receiver nine by fantasy points per game last year. So he's sitting at the wide receiver 20. And it just doesn't make it a whole lot of sense to me. There's two kind of naysays, caveats to why you wouldn't want, you know, Devante Adams,

one being allegedly they're in the mix for A.J. Brown, you know, that obviously would hurt things if that were to happen. The other is obviously the injury risk. But guru, I will ask you, was there a running back last year that people were facing? because they were worried about injury risk. Perhaps a white, yes, Christian McCaffrey. Caucasian? Yes, and how did that work out? Because, you know, I don't play fantasy football concerned about, oh, this could happen.

I'm looking for the upside. And, yeah, this guy is a touchdown magnet. His quarterback is awesome and can support two elite fantasy wide receivers. And, you know, if Pook and Naku were to miss time, all of a sudden you're talking about, this might be the wide receiver. one in the NFL and and Puka has had some some injury history in the past so that's not something we're building the basis on but it isn't out and it is something to consider uh I'm not worried about the injury history I'm gonna I'm just going to draft Devante Adams everywhere I can get him

and I know it's going to pay off for me my rule because I am a major ageist I don't take a receiver I do know this yes I will not take a receiver over 30 30 or older unless he's canton bound now that was what I hung my hat on with Devante last year he was on my target list but I will admit I am I think I'm out I do worry about that hamstring and all that but look to your point you know this guy by the way never never made it on speed and quickness per se he makes it on footwork savviness route running incredible hands incredible body control he's just an absolute pro like like elite like maybe all time there was a time there was a time in his younger days with the packers where and i'm from the midwest so i you know i heard all this kind of stuff

where they thought that aaron rogers kind of made him and they're like ah he's not you know and like if you watched if you watch 10 plays of his footwork at his route running you're like this is the best route runner in the NFL potentially i mean he like in his prime was absolutely bonkers uh and so yeah Even, you know, if he's 90% of his prime, 80% of his prime at this point, he's still one of the best rock runners in league. I totally 100% agree with you. And I'm sure you're familiar. You've seen the movie Talladega Nights, you know, Will Farrell. If you ain't first, you're last.

So I understand the hamstring concerns. But, yeah, if I'm not going to get first place, then second place to me is last place. So if he's hurt and misses the entire year, I'm getting last place no matter what. Because I'm not, I don't care about getting second or third. So if the hamstring goes, my team goes, and we regroup for next year. And by the way, Aaron Rogers didn't make him. Aaron Rogers knew how awesome he was and leaned on him big time. That's what it was.

It's like Aaron Rogers is probably a football savant. And he recognized pretty quickly that he's got an elite separator, an elite, you know, hands guy, body control, all that. And getting off the line, press man, forget about it. You know, that's some of the nuances that, you know, are maybe hard to pick up for some, for the casual fan. But yeah, what do you run? Like a four, five, 40? He was never a quick twitch speed guy per se, but he's always open. None of the great wide receivers are typically.

I mean, all these, they say the 40 is actually predictive towards wide receiver failures in the, you know, the first couple rounds. So, yeah, we're not so worried about the speed. And that's why, you know, I think a guy like this can age gracefully. and I think he could put up wide receiver one numbers this year. Top five guys who are our guys. I've popped out one, Christian Watson. Let's move on. I'm looking now at the draft board, the FFPC, the big gorilla,

did a 20-rounder in this puppy out of the five hole on Saturday. It was, you know, it's been raining a lot down here in southern Georgia. I was sitting around 4 o'clock. It's raining cats and dogs. I've already done all my yard work. Like my yard's done for the whole year. I'm ready to go sitting around, but it was raining. So I'm like, let me pop on over to the FFPC and see if they got any draft.

I feel like drafting. And they did. And I popped in and 20 minutes later, I was drafting. I took this guy in a tight end in round four, second half of round four. I really didn't think he'd make it to me because I think he's a potential superstar. I could argue this guy could easily. end up being the tight end one. And again, it's 80 p of 57, pretty obvious.

It's Tyler Warren. I mean, let's not overthink this. You know, last year is a rookie, fifth on the team, or fifth at tight end in a route share, third in targets, and sixth in targets per game and target share. And now Michael Pittman and his 19.7% target share last year off the roster, has been replaced by, what did I? used to call him NWI.

It's not the greatest airport I've ever seen. Nick Westbrook at Keeney's never had more than 38 grabs in a season. So I think it's pretty fair to say that Tyler Warren's usage is going to increase in year number two. We certainly need Daniel Jones healthy. Maybe Anthony Richardson, you know, maybe that is a viable reclamation project. Maybe it's not a bad backup. But, you know, it seems like he's in line to. I don't say fresh start, but, you know, just look, I'm the backup.

Let's keep my mouth shut. But if Danny Dimes goes down again, you know, I don't think it's insane to think that Anthony Richardson would be decent. Warren was only 21st in his team's touchdown percentage, which is, you know, that's a tight end. That's pretty low. A little touchdown love, I think, can go a long way. And again, Shane Steichen.

he's the man Tyler Warren the versatility you gotta love it I think he kind of struggled a little bit I mean Phil Rivers wasn't great once he was good but when for some reason

he couldn't get on the same page as Tyler Warren I remember that that first start by Phil it was a Thursday and I'm all into the propage I was in on a Tyler Warren touchdown prop it was like plus 315 320 right before the half

wide open, wide open for a touchdown on the right side. Phil, Phil missed it. He knew and he kicked himself. He's like, you're telling me, you're telling me 50 year old Philip Rivers off the couch, couldn't get it, you know, 100% going. That's, that's wild. Exactly. Exactly. But man, let's let's not forget about how much of a well-oiled machine that Colts offense was with Daniel Jones in September, October, November. It was awesome. I mean, they were they were top five offense all day long. Yeah, 100%. I'm on the same page as you. I'm buying a lot of the Colts offense this year.

They were unreal when Daniel Jones was in there. And it's this thing, right, in the NFL, especially in your home leagues, that people want to see it to believe it, right? And with Shane Stike, and we've seen it a hundred times, we just haven't seen it the last, you know, the Anthony Richardson years. Now, I'm a big Anthony Richardson guy. I was a big Anthony Richardson supporter. He's a project quarterback. We knew that was a thing. And I bought into Anthony Richardson before he was drafted, but when he was drafted, I bought in even more because now he is paired with a great play caller, a great coach that we have, we believe in.

And then he didn't have success. So then you go back and you say, well, maybe Shane Steichen is not that good. I don't think that's the case. I think Shane Steichen still is one of the best coaches in the NFL. I'm not going to move off of that just because Anthony Richardson struggled when he was there. And we have proof of concept now when Daniel Jones was in the mix that the offense ran well. And they did a lot of great things. Jonathan Taylor, you know, value spiked.

all these guys value spiked, Alec Pierce value spiked, he got paid big. So Michael Pittman, gone. You know, you look at the dev charts, like Josh Downs, you know, like Tyler Warren is going to operate maybe he has like a wide receiver two almost, you know. Absolutely. I know people are praying that Josh Downs is going to get more, you know, action, more snaps. And surely he will, but like this is their number two target. Like don't, don't get it mistaken.

And people are losing their minds. And maybe rightfully so about Colston Loveland. if you're not going to be in on a Colston level this year, this is your arbitrage Colston-Levelin play later. Because this offense is going to be awesome with Daniel Jones. Again, I do believe they got a great run game. They just traded their first round picks for Soss Garner. This is a team that's trying to win a Super Bowl.

This is going to be an awesome environment. And I'm not going to be shocked at the end of the year if Tyler Warren is better than Colston Loveland and all these people are paying. In some of these sharp leagues, they're taking them above Trey McBride and Brock Bowers. That might be the right play at the end of the day, but I'll take that arbitrage, Tyler Warren play later on and maybe snag somebody else up at the top. I mean, who's to say Warren doesn't haul in like nine tutties and plays the whole season? He could absolutely, I totally think he could challenge for the overall tie-down one. Yeah, I think, I mean, there's only a handful of guys I think you could say can do that and he's absolutely one of them.

So I'm always in that train. Like if you've got a tier of guys that all have a shot to do it and one of them is a lot lower than the others, go for. it you know i love yeah i love josh downs great kid uh that's another guy i was able to interview uh really great kid but i did tell him at the end of the season or at the end of the uh interview i was like dude i love your game you're you're a baller but i was like bruh you got to protect your body a little bit more he did not disagree at all he's like yeah i know has he done it no he hasn't and so that's the big question with josh down's availability because he's he's a great It's great.

He's a very good player, but availability is a very legitimate issue. And like I said, he could, I mean, look, he could be the one. Alec Pierce has never been a volume guy. Tyler Warren could, for all intents and purposes, be the number one receiver on the Colts. He very well could. And I, you know, I'm doing my callback thing here again. But I do a prospect model. And, you know, I've got guys that I've absolutely hated.

And I'm going to bring up the name Desmond Ritter. because this will make sense in a second. I'm watching Desmer Mitter's tape, and I'm saying, what is going on here? Because this guy is throwing just jump balls and ducks everywhere, and this white guy is always coming down with it. I don't understand what the heck's going on. Well, it's Alec Pierce.

So then I dove into the Alec Pierce tape. I'm like, this guy is nice. So I've been on the Alec Pierce train with Brett Whitefield forever. Yeah, me too. Me too. It's nice to see finally that he's getting some love. I think he genuinely has some of the best hands in the NFL. But I don't know that he is like,

We talked about Devante Adams, right? He's kind of the opposite of Devante Adams in my mind where it's like, I don't know that this guy's going to win in the middle of the field and the short, short area of the field. He's a deep ball savant, and we love that, and he's going to be a bit more than a sacrificial X wide receiver. But to your point, it is going to open up, like what is going to happen over the middle of the field? With Josh Downs, we know he is a separatist, as you like to say, one of the elite ass men, fantasy points data. But ass man. Yeah. It would shock me zero.

I'd be not surprised at all if Tyler Warren led this team in receiving and in touchdowns. You'll get those best ball, Alec Pierce blowup weeks where he has 250 yards and two touchdowns potentially. But yeah, day to day, not shocked at all if Tyler Warren is the guy. It is a Monday edition of Fantasy Football Daily. I'm John Hansen. And for Theo Graminger with our guy, Trey Camberling, who's normally totally behind the glass. but we bring him in to let him put out his hashtag analysis. Well, I've popped out two.

You've popped out one. So, Trey, you're up. Yeah, let me dive in right here with a, this one's going to be short and sweet because it's pretty basic. But I'm just going to give you a Chase Brown, right? And this is, I like to poke at some of these narratives that people have. And every year, it's that Chase Brown is a replaceable guy, right? It's just like, ah, he's, you know, they're going to draft somebody. They're going to bring somebody in, yada, yada, yada.

And they just never do. They just never do. The Bengals have told us time and time and time again that this is a bell cow type of running back and that they love this guy in this offense. Right now, you're looking at, you know, he's the end of round two. So he might sneak into round three. And I think in some home leagues, like there's running backs that might that are below him right now that might end up going ahead of him. Like if they figure things out with Josh Jacobs, like he might creep back up and be up there. In a home league, you might see Derek Henry go before Chase.

Brown. You know, I think that's not wise, but you might see it. So, you know, you could see him be in the 12th, 13th, 14th, running back off the board. He's running back 9 by fantasy points per game last year. And so you say, well, running back 14 versus running back 9, the ceiling's not really there. I've been thinking about this and I've been asking everyone and maybe I'm just totally off, but like, I'll ask you, John, do you think that we have seen the ceiling of the Cincinnati Bengals? Like, have we seen what that team is actually capable of ever? Like, it seems like, it seems they always just slightly disappoint. I know they did, you know, make a win a ASE championship game. You know, obviously it's not like they're losers, but I don't know that we've actually

seen the ceiling for this team. And when this team is firing and winning games and firing on all cylinders, like they're maybe the best team in the NFL, possibly the best team in the NFL, certainly the best offense in the NFL when that's happening. And in that environment, Chase Brown, like, how does he not just absolutely thrive? This is a guy down the the board that could be your overall running back one. I know there's other mouths to feed, T. Higgins, Jemar Chase, et cetera, but this offense is like somehow still slightly underrated, I think, even though, you know, Jemar Chase is obviously a top pick. T. Higgins goes hot. But like, as far as I think this is where the value is with Chase Brown because if this offense is

humming and this offense is, I wouldn't say breaking through, but just hitting its ceiling and having a full, healthy year, how is Chase Brown not a top six running back, top seven running back like i just think the value's too good here well while while i'm talking a little chase brown maybe if you want to twitter check to twitter for um do a search for me and chase brown it may you may find uh uh again this is not my guy this is trae's guy another name drop but i did interview chase brand the combride another unbelievable dude greatest guy ever and as i've mentioned a million times this guy it was so jacked up i couldn't believe how big he was because you know i saw him at the senior bowl and i thought he was a little bit more i mean he is he's a little bit more about speed than

power but i think there's a correlation between my shock and how jacked up he was and his ability to avoid injury my man's got good dna man he uh he had over 300 carries uh at uh illinois uh the year you know his last year there and then he's racking up the touches here in the NFL and he's been fine and look to to your point about the upside I was big on chaise brown last year I was apologizing a left and right I want on an apology to I'm like look I'm sorry I loved him you know Jonathan Taylor was my number one target in round two uh there he is you can't see it on the sweatshirt I'm I'm there interviewing them you can't you can't really tell there but uh I'm telling you My man has got a jacked up upper body.

Now I lost my damn chain of thought. I went over there. But look, oh, here it is. So this is when I was apologizing, okay, through week seven, from weeks one to seven. I mean, by the time we get to week seven, your takes are kind of like almost sealed. Like this is who he is. and he averaged just 3.65 yards per carry, 44.7% success rate. That was 60th.

And just 14.1 expected fantasy points per game, RB 18. I had them at RB10. So I'm like, I'm sorry. But guess what? He finished actually RB8 in total points. So that's the upside. The second half of 2025, that would be the upside of Chase Brown. And they didn't do anything of note in the backfield to add competition.

Samajapiron, good and pass pro. Yeah, he'll be on the field here and there. But, I mean, Todge Brooks showed nothing. They actually have Gary Brightwell on this squad. Like, Gary Brightwell? It's like he didn't know he was in the NFL last like four years. So it's all Chase Brown. 100%.

I'd like to get to this question over here in the chat because I've got some very strong opinions on this. But I'd like to get your opinion. So Daily Sports says, would you rather have Chase Brown and Jamar Chase or Jamar Chase and Omar and Hampton? in PPR. I can let you go first or I'll go first if you want. Well, I mean, I don't love having two guys on the same team,

but I mean, Chase Brown, if both running backs are healthy in PPR, Chase Brown is going to outproduce some air in Hampton because I think Kamani Vidal was pretty damn good. And, you know, now working a little Keaton Mitchell.

And I wasn't a huge Hampton guy. Like, he's good. He's not a bum by any stretch. But I don't know. I don't know if, if he's overly talented. So I don't know if he's going to dominate the touches here. I think they're going to sprinkle in at the very least, Keaton Mitchell.

But I also think Camani Vidal was too good. Maybe he gets a series or two a game. Yeah, I agree with you. And I almost want to challenge that you couldn't call him a bum by any stretch. Because I think there is a stretch where you could call him Martin Hampton. Oh, okay. I know that's kind of a, I know it's a far, far stretch. This guy last year, the narrative out on the Marion Hampton,

right is that the offensive line was injured and he had a high ankle sprain. That's why he looked bad last year. You've seen it in college. Obviously, he had a great 40 as an athlete, but this guy's stiff and the vision is not there. And I'm looking at, you know, everyone is basically penciling him in as a top 10 running back this year. I don't like it at all. And, you know, actually lends to a later pick that I'll talk about. But I'm not a fan at all.

I think he's not very good. And, you know, you kind of get like burned at the stake for saying that because everybody loves him Ryan Hampton. this year. But there is a real possibility and a real outcome where his stiffness and lack of vision was not because of the poor offensive line and was not because of the ankle sprain. It's because he's just not very good. And he's going to be out there. You know, he's not going to, they're not going to bench him, you know, before week one in training camp, he's not going to lose the battle per se. But like, you might see Keaton Mitchell, especially and Kamani Vidal for that matter,

start creeping up in touches, you know, as we get to the middle of the season. And then all the sudden, you're running back that you took as the eighth running back off the board, the ninth running back off the board, is splitting time effectively with Keaton Mitchell and Kamani Vidal. So I would absolutely take the Chase Brown side of this, Chase Brown and Jamar Chase because I'm just in love with that offense. The Chargers offense, I'm also in love with, I just don't think Amarian Hampton is the guy that's going to be the guy in this offense, you know, when you're talking about all positions, not at running back, but all positions. I'm fading Amarine Hampton hard this year, and it might cost me dear.

really. But yeah, I'm much, much bigger fan of Keaton Mitchell or Karmani Vidal late since, well, Mitchell steamed up a little bit, but both guys are essentially free. I mean, not free, but you know what I mean? They're very, very late in drafts. When I, I'm a big comp guy. And, you know, a lot of times I just let it kind of come to me. And when I was breaking down Hampton, I kept going back to DeMarco Murray and who was good for a couple of years, really good. But kind of, you know, volume and he was a little stiff. I mean, he was a great lateral agility guy.

And my hot take at running back in the draft class last year was Quinn Sean Judkins greater than Amerian Hampton. I thought Judkins, to me, looked more dangerous than Hampton. And I think Judkins showed better when they were, when you look at whatever reps both guys had last year when healthy. I thought Judkins probably looked better. Judkins was an absolute superstar in college. And the thing about Judkins is, is if you're looking for like these notes or these tips on whether or not a guy's good,

ask Ohio State because the entire, you know, world was in love with Trayvion Henderson. And they bring him in in the summer and basically say, no, this guy's better. And they said that like we knew this going into the draft. And obviously Trayvon Henderson still has like this massive hive and these people that love him and think that he's amazing. I know he's an explosive player. Ohio State told us they think Quinn Sean Juckins is a better player than Trayvion Henderson. QJ is awesome.

He's one of my favorite running backs. I definitely prefer Quint Johnston, or excuse me, Quinn Sean Judkins over Amaray in Hampton. And I think that's a super sharp take. He's the man. The one thing I will say that I didn't kind of mention with Amari in Hampton last time is that, you know, what's actually more important for a running back than being good? at football is just getting the entire workload. And so when you're when you're Marian Hampton and you were drafted that high,

it actually might not matter whether or not you're terrible. They might just say whatever he's going to, you know, he's going to run into the line every single time in game four yards carry. And if the line's good enough, the office is good enough. You know, he's going to have space built for him. But that is something different than a player that is actively finding and creating space. When you see these elite running backs, Bijon Rahmison, Jumeer Gibbs, Saquan Barclay, guys that.

create something out of nothing. I don't think Amarian Hampton is that guy. That doesn't mean he can't have success, but I don't see that with him at all. Yeah, like I love separatists at wide receiver. I love guys who create their own offense by making guys missed. That's like number one. Can you make an unblocked defender miss?

And, you know, I'm a little suspect there with Hampton. By the way, the name that came to mind for me when I watched Judkins broke him down, Marshawn Lynch That's nasty Yeah I love it Yeah I think

I mean people kind of forget About Marshawn Lynch too Like they remember him as a bruiser But like pretty amazing combine Like pretty amazing athlete Like you know in history He goes down as the guy that That trucks folks

But like this wasn't an S tier athlete Big body That just had a nose for contact And we actually I had a Marshawn Lynch comp a few years ago This we'll find out if this is good or not but Chris Rodriguez, Jr. came out from Kentucky. I felt like he was of the Marshawn mold, just not quite as athletic.

So that limits the cap. I'd like to see Chris Rodriguez Jr. in the Liam Cohen offense this year with everybody just in love with Bachel Tooting because I think that guy has a similar, the guy has a similar nose for contact. And it's the, you know, the analytics guys hate this. He gets better as the game goes on. And that might not bear out actually in the numbers, but you could feel it. Defenders are scared of this guy, you know.

when he's when he's out there late at least in college we haven't seen it so much in the NFL but yeah i i love that comp for quenchon jen jenkins early on though before things kind of unraveled i mean he was pretty good man jenkins opened the season big time and real quick on on marshon this is how big of a marshawn lynch guy was i was he had his rookie year in o seven it was good same draft class as adrian peterson it was good wasn't great the next year o eight i put him on the cover of my magazine i'm like this guy is incredible And people are like, I remember telling other people in the industry, like, oh, who are you putting on the cover? Because I, you know, started putting a guy on the cover.

I did an interview. I was like, I'm going Marchion Lynch. This is May of, oh, wait. People are like, okay, brah, whatever. Well, see, this is, this is the vibe. This is, this is a challenge. This is a challenge to the audience. I want everybody in the audience.

If you find a receipt about a fantasy football take better than John Hansen showing a literal. magazine that he printed about Marshaun Lynch in a Buffalo Bill's jersey. I challenge anybody to find a better successful receipt in the fantasy space than that today. That is that's a grail. That's a big time. I absolutely love that. Well, now I have to go to my famous Lynch story that I've told a million times, but for those who've never heard it, I flew up to Buffalo May of 2008. I have a great picture of me interviewing Marshawn. And I'm talking, I'm waiting. I'm in the practice bubble. And I'm waiting for Marshawn to come out. And I'm talking with Chris Brown, who is their play-by-play announcer right now.

He replaced, I think it's John Murphy, about five, six years ago. But Chris Brown, before that, was just kind of like the Nate Zagura of the bills. He worked for the team website, writer, reporter. And I knew that Marshaun was like a somewhat mercurial guy, if you will, and a little standoffish with the media. So I'm talking to Chris Brown. I'm like, well, what do you think? He's like, well, look, if he likes you, you're in.

He'll open up. But if he doesn't necessarily like you, then, you know, it might be a little bit of a tough interview with a lot of short answers and things like that. So I'm like, all right. So I see him walking up to me. And, you know, I'm a little crazy. At the time, I was like a 39-year-old, you know, pasty white guy. And Marshawn's like a 22-year-old, you know, hood type of guy.

He's walking up to me. And I talk like this joking around for real. and I'm not trying to be a pose or anything like that. It's more of an homage to the culture. So he walks up to me and the first thing I do, I extend my hand. I was like, yo, Marsha, what's up, dog? What's cracker lagging? And I was like, that's risky.

That is risky because he could be like, man, get the hell out of here, bro. But what did he say? He's like, oh, damn, you don't smoke my language. And boom, after that, we were good. So these, you know, coming from the NBA side, these guys every day are dealing with folks that are just like trying to keep it siloed and very, very professional. And that's definitely appreciated. But if you can have a, you know, a little bit of personality and, you know, get through to a guy as a human and not, you know, an athlete that you're interviewing, that's going to go a long way for reporters and for folks that are working in that space. So one of these days I absolutely love it.

One of these days I really want to get a hold of Marchdown. because unfortunately like said we hit her off really well he wasn't really good with the media i'm like what's up with you in the media he was like well you know i'm trying now this is why you know i invited you in to interview me i was like well yeah let's let's keep it going and all that and at the end of the interview he asked for my card he's like yeah let's keep in touch but what happened was he got in trouble with the law uh like a week or two later and then he just kind of closed up and didn't do any damn interviews at all for a good bit. So, but now he's doing podcasting.

So I'm going to try to reach out to them. Anywho, let's move on. We're taking up some good time here. I'm going to go running back with my next pick. This guy, I've been all in on this guy from day one. Now, last year, I had him on my target list all year. But when the summer came and the vibes were horrendous, I bailed. But there was a time when I,

I thought he was such a good value in drafts year one, year two, especially. I used to call him Fleece Hall. And I'm going with Breece Hall. He's a very complicated evaluation because, well, he's on a dysfunctional team and a dysfunctional organization. The 22 ACL hurt things. The poor quarterback play, Justin Fields, Syrod Taylor, freaking Brady Cook. It was bad.

He wasn't exemplary by any stretch. However, the Jets low-key were pretty effective, you know, handing the ball off and run of the rock. He was tied for 11th in attempts with Jemir Gibbs last year. New York was ninth in yards before contact per attempt. They were 11th in rushing yards per game. They had the fifth lowest stuff rate in the league. They were dead last in rushing attempts inside the five. So he only scored four rushing touchdowns.

his three targets a game last year, by the way, by far the lowest and the worst of his career. But one little silver lining among all running backs with at least 10 grabs, he was fifth in YPR with just under 10 yards per reception, 9.7. You know, I look back under Frank Reich. I'm not the biggest Frank Wright guy, but, you know, way back in 2020, Naheem Hines and Jonathan Taylor combined for 99 receptions. with Frank Reich. So let's assume that

Breece is good to go healthy and the offense is just don't suck. That's it. Let's just be mediocre. You know, everybody thinks mediocre means you stink. No, mediocre is average. Okay, so just be average and feed the rock to Breece Hall.

And Gino Smith, please, get them five targets a game, four or five targets a game, which I think he will. Move the ball a little bit, have a little better offense, get the touchdown numbers up to like, six, seven, eight, you know, get the catch totals back up over like 40, 45, 50.

Then I think we're looking at nothing, not going to be a great value, but, you know, pretty damn good pick here. I took them in the FFPC out of the five hole. I'll give you the draft. I opened up Jackson Smith and Gigbud five. Came back. I took Derek Henry. Running backs were going off the board left and right.

Up when I made this pick, fifth pick of round three, 57% of the picks were running backs. So I'm like, people are getting in the running back business, causing the wide outs to slide a little bit. And I ended up getting some good ones. So I gladly snapped up a breeze hall there with the fifth pick of round three as my RB2. Amazing pick. And I'm with you 100%. Had you not chosen Breece Hall on your list, he was going to go on mine. I think even I like this pick even better than the Chase Brown pick.

There's not really another running back out there that's this talented that is, you know, this far down the board. Exactly. He's absolute nails. He's sick. He's the man. I don't know that I need to say much more than that. He's just awesome. The offense might suck, but even if they're down bad in games,

you know, I'm hoping he'll catch a few more passes this year, like you said, and can kind of put it together from a fantasy perspective. They've got a couple backs there that figure to mix in in Braylon Allen and Isaiah Davis even potentially. But this guy's a lot more talented than all those guys. I know people like Braylon Allen. They're not in the same team. He's a guy. This guy is, even if Braylon Allen's a guy plus, I mean, this, like, I do believe

Breece Hall is genuinely a superstar. I mean, he's just unbelievably talented. So I'm happy to take that bet every day of the week. And I got another guy here who I think has superstar potential. And this might, you know, they might cut the live right now and end the show because people are not going to like this. But give me a chance to defend this pick, okay? Quentin Johnston.

Okay. Of the Chargers. And I did mention, you know, about Amaranhampton that I was going to come back to the Chargers offense. Nobody will disagree with this. There is going to be a star that emerges this year in Los Angeles. It'd be just the craziest thing in fantasy football if, with the offensive linemen coming back, Mike McDaniel getting in the mix, that Justin Herbert didn't take a step, and the Chargers didn't become, you know, one of the better teams in the NFL and really take that step.

step. Well, what does that look like? How does that happen? Right. The most likely, in my opinion, way that that happens is through Ladd-McConkey, right? Sure. But it needs to be said that it's not impossible that that happens through Quentin Johnston. And here's why. He has this bad narrative about him because, you know, he struggled with drops early on. He, he, you know, had a rough kind of go the first couple of years. Here's the deal. Don't double count that. We already knew. We knew this when he was a prospect that this guy was a project. So when a project, like Anthony Richardson, potentially, when a project comes into the NFL, it doesn't have immediate success. We all basically say, oh, we were wrong. This guy's not good. No, he's a project. We already

knew this. Don't double count that against him. So now we're like last year he showed real signs of putting it together and becoming the player that people thought he could be. You know, we're so used to in society these days, the instant gratification and the I need it today. I want the wide receiver. That's the best wide receiver in the NFL by week four. I want the Odell Beckham Jr. That just doesn't happen very often. But what does happen is guys in year three, four,

five, figure it out. And especially guys that we already knew had a developmental runway and needed to figure some things out before they become that star that they were meant to be. That's the case, in my opinion, with Quentin Johnson, and he may not be better than Lab McConkey this year,

but at price, there's like a better, there's a good enough chance that he's the guy that makes this thing go and is the deep ball guy. And, you know, we've seen him have nine catches in a game, 10 catches in a game. Like, this isn't a guy, this isn't a one-trick guy. And once he fully puts it together, and there's a reason to believe that he hasn't yet, this could be a superstar. And I know someone like Brett Whitefield would agree, like, this was a project guy.

Don't double count it. Don't still hold him, you know, don't still hold it against him that he was bad as rookie year. We knew that was going to happen, or at least we felt confident that that could be the case. True, true. Well, I'm not a big Johnson guy, but I will say this. I'm very high in the offense this year. I've heard that McDaniel and Harbaugh, I mean, I just love, I never met Harbaugh, but I've met McDaniel. Guys, he's great, man. You got to love it. But they're two, they're kind of weirdos in the best way possible, you know? And we all know that Tuatunga Vailoa has massive limitations, like zero second reaction ability. yet, you know, he led the NFL and touchdown percentage in YPA back in 2023, and he led him

in passing yards the next year under McDaniels. So I'm very high on Herbert and the offense in general. So I can't hate too much on Quentin Johnson because, you know, he is a big play threat, red zone threat and all that. So it is definitely potential. I will say too, I have skin in the game with these two guys. And in, you know, when I was on the clock, you know, I did make this decision. I had Lab McConkey and Quentin Johnson both on a dynasty team, and I thought the smartest move was to get, you know, fair market value on Ladd McConkey and hold Quentin Johnson. And that's exactly what I did. So I converted, you know, Lab McConkey into a couple of good players. I think, I think I packaged him up in like a Drake London deal, which was, you know, kind of a no-brainer.

But yeah, when I was presented with this conundrum, I did choose to cash out on the value of Lab McConkey and roll with Quentin Johnson. I think there is a legitimate chance that he, you know, leads this team next year. And I'm also, like I said, low on Hampton. I'm extremely low on Arronday Gadsden, and we don't have to get started with that one because, yeah, it won't do anybody any good. But everybody drafting him and Njoku and then my boy, Charlie Kohler, I mean, I know he's not, but I know they're already calling him the number one tight end.

He might. Charlie Kohler, I legit think there is a chance that he's the number one tight end on this team. And if he is, no tight end on this team matters, right? So it's less about who leads and more about, like, how this is going to be split up. Like, nobody here is going to matter unless, like, a David Njoku, if he really just takes over and, like, dominates snaps, that could be the case. But, like, Ronday Gadsden is the fakesh is the fakesst, like, value in the world right now. It's, it is, and even before the Njoku trade or the joku signing, he was the biggest fakes value of the world.

The games where he succeeded and had this quote-unquote breakout, there was like a game against the Vikings where they won by 40 points. There's a game against the Jags where they lost by like 40 points. It's very like, it's very. Matchup specific. Yes, yes. And it was, but what happened, John, is all of these crazy outcomes happened in a literal five-game stretch. So in a lot of cases, a guy will have a great week two, a great week seven, a great week 13.

but what happened for Runday Gatson is all of these weird games happened in a week, you know, the week four to week seven, eight, nine stretch. So it looks like a breakout, you know, when you're just looking at the numbers. It was not a breakout. He is not very good. He can't block. He's not going to be on the field because Charlie Kohler is a much better blocker. This guy is a receiver masquerading as a tight end, and he's not good enough to play receiver.

So in those games where they were down big, he got in the mix, but I know I I said I wasn't going to go into it and then I immediately went into it. Yeah, I don't like a Ronde-A-Gas and I don't like a Marian-Hampton. So I feel like it's consolidated enough. It's Ladd-McConkie or it's Quentin Johnston. And I'm going to take the cheaper of the two. I think we're, I think we're vibing here. No doubt about it.

Real quick, I'll tell a quick Ladd-McConkey-related story, which to this day, I'm fascinated. I moved to Southern Georgia. My daughter went to college in Savannah. She just finished her sophomore year. So I sell my house in New Jersey. I use a very reputable, good realtor who's never not lived in South Jersey, he's South Jersey guy all the way. But he played football at Georgia.

I mean, I'm talking back in the day. This guy's like in his 70s. Played football at Georgia. Interesting, right? Because I'm moving to Georgia. So I started looking at houses down here. Long story short, I get a realtor. I just interviewed Ladd McConkey on Sirius XM on the morning show, like maybe a week

earlier. And my realtor in Georgia, she's like, oh, my son, I told her, you know, she asked what I did for living. She's like, oh, you know, well, my son is on the Georgia Bulldogs. He's an offensive lineman. I was like, oh, that's cool. I said, I just interviewed Ladd McConkey, a great kid. She goes, that's his roommate. Ladd McConkey's college roommate. His mom was my, my realtor down here. That's a small world. That's like football karma right there, don't you think? absolutely and it does make it feel like small world kind of thing and of course you know that's that's just the guru magic you're going to cross pass you're going to cross paths with these guys and uh you know give give the people what they need information wise so i you know i

there's a hey i'll do whatever it takes to be right if it takes having it like you know look into uh the family life or or what kind of video games they play or how they you know but ironically like oh yeah a great kid she's like oh yeah he was just over my house the other day yeah we love lad you know um brock bowers too by the way there's this old there's this harry potter line in the final harry potter movie where you know harry basically asks a question and he's like don't you think that's kind of peculiar and you know the dumbledore basically says you know the more i think about it i don't think it's peculiar at all you know that's just that's the guru vibes that's that's how it goes down you know so i'll give you another one yeah i'll give you another one on that note that again it's

it's a vibe thing is a little peculiar i've had my football my career in football for covering the NFL for 31 or 32 years, right? Growing up, my father would always pound the table for this guy's the goat. And guess what? I bought a house a quarter mile away from his childhood home. Jim Brown. How about that? It's no one, no one can challenge the vibes.

No one can challenge it. It's written in the stars. I actually put an offer on the house across the street. But I didn't get it. And I'm only a quarter of a mile away from it. Anyway, enough name dropping. Well, no, it's not enough name dropping because the next guy that I'm going to mention, and I've interviewed a couple hundred players at the combine, best vibes, number one,

this guy's number one. I know whether or not you believe in the injury prone tag. I know our guy, Dr. Edwin Porras, doesn't believe in it. How about this? Okay. Okay. injury prone is a fallacy, but some guys are prone to injury. And this guy is, it's Ricky.

I go first name only on, no, I'll go Ricky Pierceall. But I can't quit Ricky. He's only 25 years old. It'll be 26 in early September. Mike Evans, you know, he's seven years older. He's played through recurring hamstring strain since 2019. Those soft tissue problems, they rarely go away. He does have to find,

durability. He's got to find a way to play, to avoid and or, you know, play through injury. But if he can, I mean, this guy, look at his numbers with volume. I know it's a small sample, but this is pretty insane. Eight career games with six or more targets for Ricky. Here's what he's done. Four for 73 with a touch. Eight for a buck 41 and a touch. Six. Six. for 69 and a touch four for 108 eight for one 17 six for 96 and five for 85 I mean that's kind of crazy just throw him six or more balls and if he's healthy basically he's going off that's 16.85 points per game which would rank wide receiver eight on the season last year if you take His six healthy games with five or more targets in 2025.

He was fifth in the NFL with 2.75 yards per route run. Fourth in the league with 4.29 yards per route run against man coverage in that span, along with 2.64 yards per route run against zone. That was ninth best. Among 109 receivers with 200 routes, he was third in win rate, eighth in separation. So his data was excellent. The offense is excellent. and look, we're all making a big deal of it.

And by the way, I was on this with JSN last year. People were worried about JSA. No, no, he was one of my top targets. I don't care how many, if they only throw it 440 times a year, JSN is getting a rock. And he did. The Niners, they're going to run a lower percentage of 11 personnel.

Got to get Kyle Eustech on the field, right? So that's good. That's what you want. You only want two wideouts on the field, and it'll be Ricky playing. playing the Z, Mike Evans playing X, and again, all we need to do is be available, and Ricky's going to ball out this year. 100% in, obviously, you've got a nice little baked-in window here as much as the 49ers

want to lie about George Kittles' availability. I know, I know he is Superman, and we should never, you know, doubt George Kittle, but this guy is not going to be back early season. It's just not going to happen. I don't know. In the age of peptides, maybe he is. I don't know, but I have a hard time believing he's going to be back. And like you said, this is now consolidated down to Mike Evans and slick Rick here. So I absolutely love it at the price. And I know a lot of people are going to be in on Mike Evans. He's probably going to be a favorite.

And I think for good reason, but, yeah, at cost, like, just go with Ricky every single day. And my guy, Brock Purdy, will get him the rock and make it happen. A fantastic offense. Obviously, McCaffrey catches a lot of passes, too. but yeah with kiddle out of the mix like the door is completely open you've seen juan jennings last year have have some amazing games and in the past like this is a brett whitefield guy ricky parasol a lot better than than a joan jennings type uh i think the 49ers are extremely happy to to have him in the mix and like i said you know earlier with devante adams if you don't get first place you get last

place so i really don't care if his hamstring falls off the bone mid game uh that's fine i'm if i wasn't going to get first i'm i'm fine to have last place so I love taking, I love taking Ricky. I got a story about that with Brett, because I'm at the Senior Bowl with Brett, and we're walking down the bleachers. I don't think it was a year that I went with you. It was a year before. Walking down the bleachers, and he's like, oh, yeah, here's my guy, Ricky Pearsall.

Go check him out. Runs a vertical route smokes a DB. They come back, runs another vertical route, smokes to DB. I look at Brett. I'm like, can he be my guy too? And the other thing about Ricky is eighth in separation score. When I called him a separatist in my interview, he loved the term separatist. And he asked if he could borrow it.

I'm like, dude, take it. It's all yours. If you're in company with Brett Whitefield, you're in good company. You know, it's like Scott and him always say if Brett and Scott are aligned on a guy, that guy is going to hit, you know, 100% of the time. If you're aligned with Scott, if you're aligned with Scott, if you're aligned with either of those two guys, this is the guy. So, Brett and I, we're both in on Pierce more than everybody else that year, by

way. Alec Pierce. Yep. My, my Alec Pierce, I like, I don't know, I feel like maybe folks when up and I maybe it's just my own personal thoughts, but I feel like when I go on streams, I just kind of regurgitate a lot of what Brett says. But Brett and I, I think, look at things the same way, though he is like infinitely, you know, more experienced and, uh, definitely intelligent when it comes to football than I am. Mine, mine is definitely more like vibes based where he is a legit, you know, analytical and film genius. Absolutely. But I do end up more on the side of Brett's, you know, thinking.

And I do maybe on the analytical side. But I definitely loved Alec Pierce. And if he's in on Ricky, I'm in on Ricky. If you're in on Ricky, I'm in on Ricky 100%. And we talked about this in the pre-show to move on to the next guy. I'm just going to throw it up there. It's Matt Stafford for my fourth guy, but it doesn't have to be Matt Stafford, right? Because we talked about this, like, and people know this, but just wait on your

quarterbacks this year. Wait, wait on your quarterbacks. Hell yeah. This is the MVP, you know, of the season last year. Unbelievable. And he's, you know, in Super Flex, he's an eighth round guy. Daniel Jones is an eighth round guy. Malik Willis is a late eighth round guy.

You know, even if, you know, I guess Kyler's steaming up a little bit, but even if you believe in Kyler, that's a late seventh round guy. Like, but Matt Stafford's my favorite quarterback, you know, in these late rounds and, you know, for watch what happened last year, right?

I mean, like, this isn't an age concern where it's like, oh, you know, I know he had the back issues last year, but that ultimately ended up being smoke, or at least he made it look like smoke because he went out and bawled. The offense is going to be great with Big Vey. What are we doing? Like, why are you taking a guy, like, I don't know,

why are you taking a, even a Caleb Williams? I know people are stoked about him? Why are you taking a Caleb Williams? why are you taking a Justin Herbert in the second round? Why are you taking a Patrick Mahomes in the third round when you have Matthew Stafford available to you that late? It makes absolutely no sense. Yeah, I'm comfortable with Matthew Stafford as my QB1.

And honestly, if you're in a Superflex, you roll a Matthew Stafford, Malik Willis. Like, I think you're fine. I think you're absolutely fine at quarterback, and you made up so much value, you know, at the top of the board with, like, at running back specifically, because I think you can find quite a bit of wide receiver value late. Not so much on the running back front.

But yeah, scoop those running backs up early, wait on those quarterbacks. There's six or seven different guys you could take in those late rounds that'll make you just fine in Superflex, assuming you get Matthew Stafford as your QB1. Absolutely. It's insane how deep everything is. And we were talking off the air about Stafford. I'm like, yeah, I mean, he's not going to get. what was it, 44 touchdowns.

Again, like, let's be honest, that's not going to happen. And I'm like, yeah, you know, he's going to get 37, which last year would have been second in the NFL behind Stafford. So, like, he had 46. Wow, 46. That's insane. I mean, they only have 17 good tight ends here, Trey. A note on that, you know, I sat in with Chris Wecht, our projections guy, and he has a fancier title than that. I don't want to demean, but he's a genius.

So the sharpest guy maybe in the company. And he's talking about Devante Adams, are basically saying, like, as many touchdowns as he scored, he should have scored more. And so, like, there's actually where you would assume, like, the regression is coming in the touchdown department. There are things, and certainly there is regression coming on 46 passing touchdowns, like, to your point.

But it might not be as, like, severe as you think. There actually might be room for, you know, a little bit more to happen. So he could be. you know, over 40 again. And just, just nuke. And yeah, in the Superflex League, like, you just slot them in there. And as your quarterback, one of you forget about it every week.

And geez, like, in Dynasty right now, I have a Matt Stafford, Pooka, DeVante Adams, stack. And, you know, I know stacking is more in the best ball streets and in DFS. But this offense, how does this offense fail? I don't know. I don't see a path. So I think that's one of the safest things you can do with the Matthew Stafford value as low as it is.

And then last but not least, my fifth guy, who is my guy, and I ended up drafting four of these guys. I took in an FFPC draft over the weekend, the big gorilla puppy. I took Brise Hall in the third. I took Tyler Warren, second half of the fourth. I took Christian Watson, second half of the sixth. And let's see. and I took this guy in right after Watson.

So what happened was I opened the draft, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Derek Henry, Breece Hall. I got my anchor one wide receiver. I got my one two punch at running back. I got my tight end stud and tight end premium. Then I actually took DJ Moore. I know he's a little polarizing. And I've, I was,

I've basically been a DJ more guy, but he's kind of annoyed me a little bit. By the way, there's an interview where I did in the conference, bond. I didn't get a good vibe. He's a little surly, quite frankly. Then I come back because I was kicking myself, man, I should have taken Watson in the fifth proactively as opposed to more. But Watson fell to me in the six. In round seven, I've got my stud tight end, tight end premium. I've got my three whiteouts already. I've got my two running backs already. So I basically, you know, almost have

a starting lineup. But I did want to get a running back. And I did want to get a guy. Obviously, with a healthy role, which is not easy to do in round seven. Now, there are some other guys who have solid roles that went off the board right after I took this guy. Tony Pollard, I was kind of in on Pollard last year. Not that I was pounded at the table, but he was on my list. He'll do better. Ironically, and I apologize for Pollard, but ironically, he did better than I hadn't projected, which is all about volume.

Remandre is somewhat intriguing. I also took this guy in front of my guy, a Rashad White. I think Rashad White has a chance to lead that backfield, but I don't know. He doesn't command the ball. He's a great receiver. I mean, he'll be the third downback.

I took a guy who, to me, looks like a 250 plus touch guy. It's Chuba Hubbard. Mr. Every other year, Chuba Hubbard. Now, let's go back to his third's, his second season at Oklahoma State, which would be 2019. 328 carries for over 2,000 yards.

Scored 21 toddies. But then in 20, in 20, he fell off. He got hurt. He only played the seven games. So I remember Brett, I believe, I think it was Brett, you know, comparing his tape from that big year to like maybe year one in the NFL. And it's like, he's not as good. I think the every other year thing in large part is injury related.

He might be a guy who just, hey, look, he's not a stud. He was only a fourth rounder. So, you know, he needs good health or else, you know, maybe his game falls off a little bit. And he did get hurt last year early in the year, which opened the door for Rico Doudal. But we're only one damn season removed from 2024 in which he, He had 250 carries, 1,200 yards, 10 rushing touchdowns. You know, they signed them to that big extension. He also, you know, did pretty good work in the passing attack, 43 grabs.

He actually had three receiving touchdowns last year. Now, when we obviously, Jonathan Brooks, that's a huge story. But I don't know, man. If you're, if you're truly counting on Jonathan, raise your head if you're counting on Jonathan Brooks. I mean, it's possible that he returns the form and seriously factors into the backfield. But I think we're probably better off being a little skeptical there. And look, you need two running backs to get through his season anyway. So they'll be room for another back.

It's not like, you know, if Jonathan Brooks is good and productive and, you know, efficient, whatever, that Hubbard's dead. You know, I think Hubbard's going to be the lead guy. Pass pro. You know, he was out there a lot last year in passing situations and all that. So I think there's a clear path here for 250 plus touches. And look, I think the offense is probably still ascending. You know, when Bryce Young's your quarterback, what's your identity? You're running the rock, baby.

And, you know, to that point, they use their number one pick on Freeling. They got the best offensive tackle group in the league. Ikea Kuanu, Taylor Moten has been a solid. veteran for years, Freeling. And then Rashad, Rashid Walker, as your backup, that's pretty damn good. And I think this O line is solid.

And the identity is going to be the running back, the running game. And then you add the fact that he's got versatility. All we need for a great ROI, even if Brooks is pretty good, is for Chuba to be relatively healthy, play 13, 14, games. I think the offense may still be ascending. Dave Canales is good. He's just good.

He's not a genius brain of stretch, but he's solid. I've talked to a number of players who've played under Dave Canales, and he's very good at maximizing his players' talents and putting them in a position to succeed, namely Rashad White, by the way, who told me that on two different occasions. So Chuba Hubbard, what's six, seventh round pick, like an RB3. I'm feeling it. especially like we talked about in that area of the draft where there are no running backs i mean it's right it is dead um i would i would uh offer this to the folks the narrative right now out there is that jonathan brooks is this upside play right um and he's you know a guy that could potentially prove to be you know better than just your your replacement level guy he could be a superstar right

um i understand that narrative and i see that narrative but let me point you to a situation where that narrative was the case last year, and it's the Dallas Cowboys, right? So we look at the Cowboys last year all summer long. It was basically Jaden Blue, Jaden Blue, Jaden Blue, Jaden Blue, and we know what Javante Williams is, so let's just go Jaden Blue. Well, then what happens?

Javante Williams, you know, out of nowhere, becomes, you know, one of the most effective backs for Fantasy at cost was, you know, close to a league winner, you know, with the numbers that he was putting up. So it does, there, people want to say, like, it's what's the word I'm looking for? They want to say it's not smart to bet on the average guy versus a guy that we don't know, right,

and could have all those outcomes. It's absolutely an outcome, and it's probably the more likely outcome that Chuba Hubbard is average plus and then just dominates the work. We don't even know if Jonathan Brooks can stay healthy, number one. I do like the bet on Jonathan Brooks. If you're wanting to take a dart and, you know,

just pray that he's a superstar. I like it more honestly, probably in Dynasty than I do in redraft, see if you can acquire Jonathan Brooks and hold them for a couple years. But even if, and to your point, too, even if Jonathan Brooks is the man, it's a year or too early for Jonathan Brooks to do a full takeover, probably. So where you're getting Chuba, you're still going to get value. So I like the way you laid it out, and I like that side of the argument. And, you know, Rico Dada was absolutely smashing last year.

And time and time again, they chose Chuba Hubbard, you know, over RICO Duttle. So you have to look at that with Dave Canales, like I think he's a very good coach. You have to look at the fact that, you know, every single time that he was presented with that decision, he seemed to choose Chuba Hubbard, even when Rico Douddle potentially was out playing him. So, and it's worth noting.

I don't believe either of those two guys were Dave Canales' draft picks or at least that regime. I think he came at the year after Chuba Hubbard. I could be wrong on that. Yeah, yeah. They block it up pretty well. They were 13th in the yard before contact per temp last year, 10th best stuff rate in 2025 and now they added a number one pick to the mix the

offensive line and Freeling. Make it happen. I'm a big fan of it. And again, we talked about there's nothing else going on in those rounds. So anybody that has a pulse in those rounds, you know, or a path. This could be a league winner in round six or seven. This year's Javante Williams, I think absolutely is in the range of outcomes, you know, for Chuba Hubbard.

Right. I'm going to go way down the board for my last guy. And, you know, people get sick when you do this. But there's a real case, and you're going to look at my, you know, T-shirt and my, you know, gear all around the room, and you're going to give me the Homer allegations. And that's fair. I will take them and run with it.

I'm taking Zachariah Branch. And it's because he's free, basically. If we go look at the guys that are going around Zachariah Branch, you're talking Tank Dell, who I don't even know if he's a lot. I haven't seen. I don't know where he is. Trey Tucker, who I actually like. Ray Davis is handcuff.

Devin Neal, handcuff, triple handcuffs. He's behind Camara, if Camara sticks around, and E.T.N. Najee Harris. Jalen Wright, Caleb Johnson. I mean, these are guys that... Zombies. These guys are like... These are zeros.

Night of the Living Dead. They're walking around like zombies looking for eating brains over here. And you never say never in fantasy, but a lot of those guys I named, there is not a case for those guys to be relevant this year in fantasy football but when you look at a guy like zachariah branch the case is like not a difficult one to paint right here let's start with like the drawbacks he might suck you know he might be a total like fraudulent gadget guy and his game might not translate to the NFL at all that's kind of the the narrative on him and that absolutely might be true but when you look at the falcon situation right now they have nobody right so and as much as people want to say that they're great prospect evaluators and

they know what they're looking at you know people get guys wrong every year if they didn't get guys wrong right we wouldn't play fantasy football because we'd all know the answers and there'd be nothing to do you know what I mean it'd be we wouldn't have a game to play uh if we're wrong about Zacharii branch and he's actually like decent uh this falcons wide receiver two spot has been fruitful in years past uh darnel mooney you know had some crazy games, not last year, but the year before. And the offense should get better this year for a multitude of reasons. You know, it's Kevin Stafansky coming to town, who for my money is one of the best

coaches in the NFL. And I, you know, I went on the record last year and said, I would give, I don't know if this is kosher, but I said I would give my right, left and middle nut for Kevin Stafansky as the Falcons head coach. And it happened. And so here we are. I love Kevin Stifansky. There's nobody else.

It's Zakias, you know, Casey Washington draft pick from the other year ago that nobody knew who he was. There's nobody else for this wider receiver two spot. And it's perfect. He's in a perfect situation alongside Drake London, who's going to, you know, kind of dominate and command the attention of the defense. And then Zachariah Branch can do this gadget guy stuff. He could take these screens. He can play over the middle. The guys that are in favor of Zachariah Branch, they often comp him to Tyree Kill.

That's the ceiling, right? Yeah. They say that this guy could be Tyree Kill. I think that that outcome is like less than 5%. But if it does happen, you know, all of a sudden, this guy can put up those like Darnell Mooney numbers. And if he's better than Darnell Mooney, he's going to put up ridiculous fantasy numbers.

And people don't like this either. But this is the truth. It's gospel for me. Tua Tagaviloa is the best quarterback the Falcons have had since Matt Ryan by a margin. And, you know, maybe that says more about the Falcons than it does about Tua himself. But it's you have to keep that in perspective. That this guy has been memed into oblivion and everybody hates Tua. He's a lot better than anything else the Falcons have had.

You're talking about guys like Marcus Marriota, Desmond Ritter, the ghost of Kurt Cousins. Like, this is the best guy they've had. And what does he do well? He's accurate and he's great, you know, in the middle of the field underneath. he's great on his first read. That is what Zachariah Branch, in theory, will be doing. These underneath, these gadgety, these screen, these. So it just makes too much sense for a guy that's effectively free, you know,

going, you know, the same place Najee Harris is going. Why would you ever take Najee Harris, who isn't even on a team? Right. When you can have this guy who has an opportunity to actually matter, especially in Dynasty. But even for redraft this year, I think there's actual legs. You know, my phrase with Ritter was, if your guy's Britter, you're in the shitter.

And here's my notes on Zachariah Branch, by the way, because before Brett Whitefield put out his great work on the Fantasy Prospect Guide, what I like to do is I like to go in and I don't listen to anybody else, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you know, what everyone else is saying about anybody. And then I write down some notes and I compare it to everybody else, I guess, basically. So here's what I wrote about Zachariah Branch. Good hands, adjust well, really jump. off the screen with a speed a great play speed it gets a lot of screens and underneath routes

um but i also wrote um very violent runner like debo how about that have you ever heard a debo comp has anyone gone debo with it i've heard the tyreek one i haven't heard i haven't heard the debo comp um but a toughness and competitiveness to him that was my final point no and yeah i think that I believe his uncle was an NFL player. Like I think this is, you know, this is pedigree. Let me double check that. This is live TV. I'll Google this.

Was it? Would it be Dionne Brash, would it? No, no, no, no, no. It's, uh, let me see here. I will pull it up right now. Cliff Branch. Oh, what? Yep.

Are you kidding me? Zachariah Branch is the great nephew of Cliff Branch. Oh, man. Cliff Branch is one of the best deep threats. It's an NFL history. So it's the pedigree. It's the vibes, right? Whoa.

Yeah. So I think that people are sleeping on this a little bit. They're sticking to everybody's priors where they're just like, you know, I like to bring up the meme players. You know, you look at my list. It's pretty obvious. Chase Brown is, or Quentin Johnson is a meme player where people like to make fun of them. Zachari Branch is a meme player where people like to make fun of them. That's where the value is because people are just looking at these guys.

Even Christian Watson in some regard, though, he's getting more respect now. you know, it's the hamstrings, the shit, you know, he's always hurt. Like, the guys that people are going to meme and make fun of, that's where, you know, you can find a little bit of value. And I think Zachariah Branch is right there just because, and the, the meme ability with the least amount of legs is prospect evaluations. Because, you know, it's impossible, right? If you see a guy in the NFL that's always hurt, well, that's tangible. He is always hurt.

Like, that's a real thing. a lot of people get these prospect evaluations wrong and people surprise every single year. So with the prospect evaluation, if you're being compressed because everybody says you suck when you haven't played a game in the NFL, I think there's the most legs there for that to be incorrect. Boy, Cliff Branch, wow. Zachari Branch and Cliff Branch, about the same body type, 510, 511, like a buck set. Cliff Branch was the man because Al Davis was all. about pushing that ball way down the field for the radius and he was a guy uh 1976 24.2 yards a catch

uh 12 touchdowns even in his 30s you know here's a 34 years old 1982 the year i graduated eighth grade i knew all about cliff branch 19.2 yards of catch wow my opinion of Zachari branch is just improved a little bit. He's the grand nephew of Cliff Branch. If I can ever do that, if I can ever, you know, get you excited about a guy, that makes me feel like I'm doing an okay job. So I absolutely love that. Another thing I'll say about Zacharii Branch, right? And this is a, this is a Brett Whitefield staple that I love. I think this is one of the smartest things I hear constantly on shows is you should not knock a guy for, you know, not doing something he wasn't asked to do, right? So in, right?

Georgia, right? They're telling him these gadgety, it's screens, it's whatever. Like, he wasn't asked to do some of these things that people claim he cannot do. It's possible he can't do them. But like, don't double count that. Don't say, yeah, it's impossible for him to do it because he didn't do it at Georgia. He might not have been asked to do it. He wasn't

asked to do it. So, you know, so with some of these guys, you got to, and I'm not saying, Brett's a big Zachariah Branch guy. He's definitely not. But, you know, the point stands, you know, don't knock him because he didn't do it at Georgia when he wasn't asked to do it. that's, Brett always says that and I think that's one of the sharpest things when it comes to, you know, evaluating prospects is, is that sentiment. Yeah, you know, slot guy, screen guy, you know, 81 grabs and all that. And by the way, I live in Georgia.

I've actually been a Georgia fan from, you know, back when Herschel Walker played. I'm not a huge college football guy. But the quarterback's not that good. Gunner Stockton, by the way, is not that good. So maybe with improved quarterback play, I mean, I think Tua is definitely better than Gunner Stockton in terms of accurately throwing a football and all that. So there it is. We did talk about this before the live stream here, Trey, that you're normally looking at an hour and a half and you're like, oh, if we can bang out 45 minutes. No, we're going to go the hour and a half. So we got a lot of years. We didn't know if we were going to be able to fill the time.

I think we filled it no problem. Oh, I felt at least 20 minutes name dropping on this thing. Oh, and that's fine. You know, I will say, you know, not to schmooze, but it is an absolute honor to, you know, be on with you and get to share the stage and do this whole thing. I had a blast, and I hope the folks enjoyed it, too. I think this is, I think this is awesome, the new live stream we're doing. And, you know, we're working really hard behind the scenes. So it's just this for me is, it's a dream to get to work here and do these things.

And, you know, John will be on with me and Tom and Joe, best bets during the season. You know, if you're on YouTube right now, you can click on our channel and you'll find our betting channel. It's slow right now because there's nothing to bet on except for futures, but we're hitting them every week. We don't stop. So, and can't wait to get John in the mix. But thank you, seriously, John, for stepping in today and letting me, you know, ride shotgun with you. I had a blast. Hey, it's my honor as well, because I see all the great work that you're doing and getting involved in the, you know, the multimedia facet.

of all this, but I'm ready for the props. In fact, you know, I'll come on in the preseason because I did put up an article up at FantasyPoints.com where I popped out 15 futures for the season. And hey, J.J. McCarthy was the first one, and I died like a dog on that one, but I was still 10 and 5. Still profitable. So I'm going to have a similar top 15 list of season-long props to bet on.

So we'll wrap it up here. I'm sure our guy Theo Griminger will be back tomorrow for another edition of Fantasy Football Daily here at FantasyPoint.com. For Trey Camberling, I'm John Hanson. We'll catch you on the flip side.
