This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports.
Here we go!
Email us at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com.
Here we go!
It's time to dominate your fantasy league.
Let's go!
Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
A little ADP review on today's show.
Welcome again to Fantasy Football Today.
What's going on?
Adam Azer with Dave Richard and Jamie Eisenberg. We're also going to talk about sleepers and read some emails at
fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. Also, a very fun quarterback strategy that I did not come up with.
I will not take credit for it, I promise. What's up, Dave and Jamie? What's up, Adam and Azer?
I like that. I can do that.
Most people just call me by my last name, but Adam and Azar works for me.
Hey, Dave, how you doing?
What about when you're around other members of your family?
They know I'm Azar.
They know I'm kind of carrying the team.
They call you Azar, and they call your brother DA.
Nobody calls him that.
We did at Miami. It's been a while.
It has. It's been a while. It has.
It's done.
All right, so we're going to start with five fun questions like we did on yesterday's show.
And I've got some fun things to promote, including a way to save a little money at Sportsline.
Okay, so I do want to talk sleepers.
So first question is, how do you define the term sleeper?
Someone drafted with a middle or late round pick who you think will be better than expected.
Who I think or you think?
Well, you're the one drafting them, right?
Yeah.
So you must think that they're going to be a sleeper.
Are we cool with that definition?
Mid to late round pick will exceed draft value?
Yep.
Okay.
Who is the sleeper you are targeting in every draft?
Curtis Samuel.
Paris Campbell.
Curtis Samuel, let's talk about this. You really are targeting him in every draft, Jamie.
Yep.
Go on.
Well, I mean, it's a receiving core that I think is somewhat wide
open. I mean, I, I do believe that DJ Moore has a higher ceiling than, than Curtis Samuel, but
the value getting for Samuel as the second guy in that offense or a second receiver in that offense,
um, I think is incredible. Um, I just, you know, like the way that he finished last year, I think,
you know, his, his standing with the team entering his third year in the NFL
is pretty solidified.
I don't expect.
It's hard to count on Greg Olson playing 16 games.
It's hard to count on Chris Hogan being in a prominent role.
Outside of McCaffrey as the slam dunk guy for touches,
it would not surprise me if he's better than DJ Moore this year.
Here's my favorite stat on Samuel. Last seven games, he averaged 11.6 PPR points per game.
DJ Moore, same span, 12 PPR points per game. So if the difference between these two is going to be
less than half a PPR point, and you can get one in round 10 in your drafts, round eight if you're
picking with Jamie, go with the one you get in. Later than that, round eight if you're picking with Jamie.
Go with the one you get in.
Later than that, Samuel's ADP is 132 right now.
All right, so even later than round 10.
But Jamie, you're taking him round eight, round nine,
somewhere in that range.
Yep.
Okay, here's my least favorite stat about not just Samuel,
but basically anybody in Carolina
that you have to consider here in the passing game.
Let me just finish doing the times 16.
Cam Newton in his career has averaged 3,703 passing yards per season.
3,703 per season per 16 games, I should say.
And he's usually right around that number.
I mean, that's a pretty strong number.
Only once in his career has he thrown more than 24 touchdown passes.
That was in his MVP season.
I do think you should be encouraged.
He threw 24 last year in only 14 games,
and he was playing with a shoulder injury.
But I wonder, guys, if people are going to draft DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel,
and obviously Christian McCaffrey with a top five pick,
is there enough to go around?
Or does somebody suffer?
You know, like, does it come at the expense of McCaffrey?
Does it come at the expense of DJ Moore if Curtis Samuel has a good season?
Of course, we don't really account for Olsen anymore,
but that's just kind of what I'm thinking.
Well, the tight ends.
I mean, you know, Ian Thomas, I think,
showed us at least in one of the two games last year that,
or one game at the end of last year, that he can be, you know, play Thomas, I think, showed us at least in one of the two games last year that or one game at the end of last year that he can be, you know, playmaker should also go down again.
It's just expectations.
You know, I don't expect Curtis Samuel to come in and be a even a thousand yard receiver, you know, but it's it's the hope that he's eight to nine hundred yards, you know, four to five touchdowns.
I think, you know, 65 plus catches. I also think he'll do some damage, you know, with the ball in his hands behind the line of scrimmage.
You know, whether it's catching screens or, you know, some, you know, jet sweeps, whatever.
You know, they get creative with those guys, both him and Moore.
It's not somebody I expect to be a week in, week out starter for me.
But, you know, bi-week replacement, third receiver in a three receiver league, you know, when I need him.
But if DJ Moore doesn't take that next step, you know, Samuel started trending that way.
You know, I think, I mean, you know, I look at third-year receivers all the time.
He's tracking in the right direction, you know, building towards something.
And so could he exceed what I think he's going to do?
Potentially.
But it's not an offense that's going to all of a sudden morph into the Chiefs or the Rams.
They're not going to be that kind of a dynamic passing game.
You just have to understand what you're getting.
This offense is predicated on making plays after the catch.
And it's part of the reason why Cam Newton had the year that he had last year before his shoulder fell out of its socket.
And these are two receivers that are very good at getting open in the short area, making a guy miss, and then getting yards after
the catch. And to me, if they're similar, I can't see spending the draft capital on Moore.
If he's the same guy as Samuel, in order for him to not be that guy, then you've got to see DJ Moore
get more targets week in and week out. And to your question, Adam, I think it's going to vary.
I think McCaffrey's going to get
his every week. And then after that,
it's going to be a toss-up. One of those two...
Like,
DJ Moore might get six to seven a week
and Curtis Samuel might get four to
six. I think if you put it in that
type of a ballpark, then that's
a fair expectation. And that's probably
why Moore will go ahead of him, but I don't know
if that's enough for him to go six rounds
ahead of Curtis Samuel.
Also, it's easy
to forget Curtis Samuel because
DJ Moore, first round pick. Curtis Samuel was a second round
pick. He was the 40th pick in the draft
in 2017, so there
is pedigree there. But he had a quiet rookie
season, just nine games played,
15 catches, 115 yards.
And he was hurt to start last year too.
Okay. Let's get to our next question. Which popular in the industry sleeper are you avoiding, Dave?
Lamar Jackson. I don't think he's worth the risk given the talent rich position,
even though we're talking about taking Lamar Jackson with a late round pick. And it's hard
to nitpick a late round pick, but I would just prefer
to go in a different direction. A quarterback, not only are we unsure of how accurate he'll be
on his longer throws, I think there's questions about his durability and whether or not he'll
be able to hold up for 16 games running as much as he does. Okay. Lamar Jackson, Jamie in the,
in the industry sleeper you're avoiding? Paris Campbell.
I know he's one of Dave's guys,
but I just don't see him making a significant fantasy impact this year with all the mouths to feed in this Colts offense.
I think it's going to be hard for him to stand out among this group of Hilton
and Funchess and Ebron and Doyle back, hopefully 100%,
what they'll get from the running backs.
I think he's going to be one of those guys that's better for the team than better for fantasy.
So I was surprised to see.
I actually thought,
because you see usually in the industry drafts,
Funchess goes significantly ahead of,
significantly, four or five rounds ahead of Campbell.
But Campbell's ADP is higher.
It could just be, I'm looking at our ADP.
Our ADP could factor in rookie drafts.
But I'd much rather have Funchess than Campbell this year.
Okay. I brought this stat up before. I'll let you respond,
Dave, since you had Campbell as the sleeper you're targeting.
Lux had five
healthy seasons. He's produced
a 1,000-yard wide receiver every
year, but no number two
wide receiver has had even 800
yards since Lux's rookie season
when Reggie Wayne and T.Y. Hilton both had
860 or more yards
wayne had a huge year but last four healthy seasons for way uh for luck the number two
wide receiver has not even gotten to 800 yards so why are you targeting paris campbell i think
he gives indianapolis something that they haven't been able to give luck for a long time which is
a reliable slot receiver he He's incredibly fast.
He's a good route runner. He's got room to improve there, but he's coming off of a 90 catch,
1,000 yard, 12 touchdown season at Ohio State. This guy can make great plays after the catch.
I am very confident in the offense in Indianapolis, the scheme in Indianapolis,
and I think he's their best fit in the slot. I know that they've talked about, before the draft, they talked about Devin Funchess playing in theapolis, the scheme in Indianapolis. And I think he's their best fit in the slot. I know that they've talked about, before the draft,
they talked about Devin Funchess playing in the slot.
And I know that they were impressed with Devin Funchess in OTAs,
and we'll see if he gets that opportunity.
But I went back and checked, and 43% of all targets to Indies receivers last year
went into the slot.
43%.
Well, that's because Hilton plays in the slot, and he's going to continue to do that as well.
I think that number's going to go
up partially because of Hilton, but also because
of Campbell. I'm banking on him
having a sizable
role from week one. Let's see what
training camp brings. Let's see what the preseason brings.
I think Campbell's
got very
good ability and is in the right offense
to produce.
Okay. Two more questions. These actually come from our listeners. Fantasy to, uh, to produce. Okay.
Two more questions.
These actually come from our listeners,
fantasy football at cbsi.com.
Drew from London wants to know what are the best players to draft as handcuffs,
AKA which players stand the most to gain by another player losing their
role due to injury or change in role.
So he said,
uh,
stand the most to gain,
that is the British version,
I guess,
of Stan to gain the most.
But yeah,
so who are the best handcuffs is essentially the question,
uh,
for,
from drew.
You can start in new Orleans with Latavius Murray for Alvin Camara.
If anything ever happens to Camara,
Latavius Murray is going to have a huge workload.
I think that that one makes a lot of sense.
You can go to
Pittsburgh next. James Conner missed time last year. Jalen Samuels stepped right in. This year
will be a little bit different. Samuels will have a role from week to week. And if Conner gets hurt,
Benny Snell will probably get some opportunities. So is that really a good handcuff? I think I think
Samuels is a good handcuff. I don't think he's a i don't think it's quite as good as latavius
to camara but i think he would register as one of the top 10 handcuffs that you could go and get i
mean we saw it last year samuels was good when yeah it's just a matter of whether or not he gets
that workload exactly i mean you know you start in kansas city with carlos side first starwin
thompson second just to see what happens in case damian williams doesn't hold up um you know those
two guys would probably split the touches, but you take Hyde first.
I got a good sneaky one.
I got a good one too.
You can look at Giovanni Bernard with Joe Mixon.
Exactly.
Giovanni Bernard, 17 touches and 19 touches
in two games without Mixon last year.
19 PPR fantasy points, 24 PPR fantasy points.
Very good stuff from Giovanni Bernard.
And obviously Daryl Henderson with Todd Gurley, if in fact Gurley's Very good stuff from Giovanni Bernard. And, you know, obviously Daryl Henderson
with Todd Gurley, if in fact
Gurley's knee becomes a problem at some point.
We've known Dalvin Cook to miss playing time
over the past couple of seasons, so
Alexander Madison sure seems
to be the backup to him.
Would they ride him as much? I don't know who else
they'd give the ball to there.
Mike Boone, I think, is the other,
the third stringer. There could be somebody else
that mixes in, but
I think they like Madison to
fill in for Dalvin Cook.
He's a cheap one to get.
Sorry, Adam. If you end up drafting Dalvin
Cook in round two, you can get Madison
round 10, round 11.
Pick your 49ers backup.
Yeah.
All right.
From Julian, in a 12-team
league, how many teams should make the playoffs?
Six.
How do you do it? How do you structure
it? Either do
top six. If you do
divisions, that changes things a little bit.
I think top six, or you do
five in the highest
point leader.
You could also do
five in the highest point leader. You could also do five and the highest point leader.
Okay, some people do division winners and then the points leaders.
Yeah, whatever you want.
You like buys?
Sure, yeah.
I like buys.
Give buys to the top two seeds.
I like two divisions, and division winners get buys.
Next four best records are in.
That's how I do it.
But I do like the...
All right, Jamie, what did you say?
So top two and then three more based on record,
and then the sixth spot goes to the highest scoring remaining team?
Yes.
Gotcha.
Because we always have those situations where somebody gets unlucky.
Right.
Okay, a couple things i want to promote this show
is gonna be on video i am gonna have to get a little bit dressy maybe see here's the thing
like the baseball guys i do the baseball podcast on video and they don't get dressed up at all
like they wear like t-shirts dave jamie heath always dave and jamie at least always have a
collared shirt on so i don't want to be super underdressed.
So you guys need to tone it down a little bit.
No.
Come on.
It's going to be 8.30 in the morning.
Who wants to be dressed up that early?
Maybe we should go with backwards hats.
Adam, I have 14 shows to do throughout the course of the day.
Yeah, but this is your first.
I'm giving you a breather.
You don't have to be dressy for this one.
Sorry.
All right, well, we'll see what happens.
But we're going to be on YouTube.
Find our YouTube page, we'll see what happens. But we're going to be on YouTube. Find our YouTube

So the Chargers, according to Charles Robinson of Yahoo,
they are dug in on their stance with Melvin Gordon.
So we talked about this at length yesterday.
Anything you want to add, guys?
You know, I keep dropping him.
I dropped him from 8th to 12th.
You know, I keep moving Eckler and Jackson up.
It's time to start preparing as if he's going to miss some time.
Jeez, man.
So lame.
Come on.
Sucks.
You know, I always reference that Dynasty League I have.
I drafted Gurley and Gordon with my first two picks.
The league folded after one year.
Now I'm happy about it.
That's good.
That's why you play to win.
You draft to win now.
Yeah.
In all those long-term formats.
Because you never know if it's going to last more than a couple of years.
Needs to be some type of dynasty prenup.
Cincinnati signed Tyler Boyd to a four-year $43 million extension. He is on the
absurd ADP list, the absurd-o-meter. So we will talk about Tyler Boyd very shortly,
but this is a nice little vote of confidence for a guy who was the number 17 wide receiver
in both formats last season. Oh, I jinxed the Falcons, by the way. But before I get to that,
Atlanta head coach Dan Quinn
talked about how deep and talented
the team's running back group is.
Oh.
Hmm.
That reaction?
Yeah, we had Pete Prisco drink
on our CBS Sports HQ show
the last two days from Atlanta.
And he said that one thing Dan Quinn told him was
they're going to make an effort to run the ball better,
run the ball in more obvious running down situations.
Freeman will be the lead guy, and then we'll see who's behind him.
This kind of confirms what I was worried about with Freeman,
which is they don't want to overwork him.
As long as he's healthy, there will be games where they need him,
and he'll have 17, 18 touches with gusts up to 20, 23.
But there will probably be more games where he's 15 and fewer.
Okay.
Jimmy Garoppolo's knee is looking good, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
Not too knobby.
Not too knobby.
Good knees.
Dallas is going to release
wide receiver Alan Hearns.
NFL Network's Mike Garofalo
says it could take a while
for Trent Williams,
the left tackle for the Redskins,
to return if he returns at all.
Is this the lowest scoring team
in the NFL,
the Washington Redskins?
Probably, yeah.
Okay.
Even the Dolphins have a better outlook. Probably, yeah. Okay. Dallas...
Even the Dolphins have a better outlook.
Probably, yeah.
Dallas center Travis Frederick,
ready to go for training camp.
He missed last season with Guillain-Barre syndrome,
so good to see him back.
Huge.
Very, very good player.
Very important.
Okay, here's how I jinxed the Falcons.
Safety J.J. Wilcox tore his ACL,
and Michael Bennett broke his ankle.
That's not the same Michael Bennett that's, you know,
the Michael Bennett, by the way.
It's a guy that's just named Michael Bennett.
Yeah.
But still, these are depth pieces at worst,
and not good, but you know what?
Good job.
We can overcome it.
The good thing is, if they go to the game, hot dogs are going to cost them like $250. Oh, you know what? Good job. We can overcome it. The good thing is if they go to the game,
hot dogs are going to cost them like $2.50.
Oh, you know what's a good podcast entry?
What?
For the podcast league,
we should have people send in their rival of their favorite team
and the best way that you could jinx them.
We're going to have some type of contest.
Okay, we have some new listeners.
This doesn't have to be the main contest, but I think this is a funny one.
So if you're a Giants fan, let's just say your name is Adam,
someone can send an email saying, I hope Ezekiel Elliott does blank.
I'm supposed to say it out loud or something?
No, just the funniest one. You'll say the funniest one.
Yeah, so we'll have a podcast league.
We'll have two podcast leagues, actually.
One of them will be a 14-team PPR league.
The other will be a 10-team half PPR league
that Heath is the commissioner of,
so there will be no kickers.
And yeah, I'll announce details on how to enter.
Also, we have a segment that people don't really know about
that you should know about.
It's one of our most fun segments,
one of everybody's favorites.
It's called the Fantasy Regulators.
You send in your commissioner questions.
We regulate. We
play the Regulators music in the background, and
everybody has a good time. So if you
have a Regulators question,
please put Fantasy Regulators
in the subject line. You have to do that.
Fantasy Regulators. And it
wouldn't be a bad idea to put Fantasy Regulators
and then, like, football in the subject
line, just so I don't mix it up with the baseball ones,
but the email address,
fantasy football at cbsi.com.
Two more notes,
Darius Slay and Damon Harrison,
perhaps the two most important players on the Lions defense.
They will report for the start of camp and Washington cut linebacker,
Mason Foster.
This is,
this is interesting.
According to the NFL network,
Steve Weiss,
people he's spoken to in Los Angeles, including Todd Gurley himself, say they do not see a dip in his production.
Hmm.
Look, as the Gurley guy, nice.
Okay, as the Gurley fan on this show, like the biggest one, that means nothing.
Nothing to me. Absolutely nothing.
Unless it's McVay.
McVay already said he's good to go.
It's just, a lot of this stuff is just
talk right now. Coach speak, right?
A hundred percent. A hundred percent.
But, again, if you're...
We've really gotten nothing
from
our NFL insiders
saying that Gurley is in trouble.
Yeah.
Unless I'm missing something.
No, and we're going to talk about Gurley.
And everything from the Rams has been,
he's going to be fine, he's fine,
he's going to be okay, he's fine, he's fine, he's fine.
Like, we're going based off the owner
saying something to our John Breach.
Right?
I don't know who said it, but right.
John Breach said it has an arthritic situation in his knee,
but that's not something that could be debilitated.
And then Draynor said something similar about how he doesn't expect there to be a drop-off.
I mean, it could just be something that's completely overblown.
I mean, we talked about it yesterday, I know,
but it's something to really put in the back of your mind.
Oh, the front of your mind.
So his ADP is going to be first in the absurd-o-meter.
I'm going to tell you the ADP.
You're going to tell me how absurd it is on a scale of 0 to 10.
That's coming up right after this quick break on Fantasy Football today.

on fantasyfootballcalculator.com todd girley is the 15th overall player off the board
so the absurdometer you're going to tell me 0-10.
0, that is a completely reasonable pick,
not even a little bit absurd.
10, it is a completely absurd pick.
People are crazy for taking Todd Gurley 15th overall.
I have not seen Todd Gurley go this early
in our mock drafts in a long time.
So 0-10, guys, on the absurd-o-meter.
I'll give it a 5,
because I think some people believe that Todd girley is going to be just fine and there's other people that are willing to
safeguard a todd girley pick in round two um in early middle round two like 15th overall would
be actually that's early round two they're willing to go round six or round seven with
daryl henderson to lock up that ramsfield, which honestly is not a bad idea based on the track record of Sean McVay
and his clever play calling and what he can do for running backs.
So I'm going to give it a five.
I'm not ready to draft him at 15th overall,
but I get why people do draft him there.
Jamie, zero to 10?
Two.
I mean, I think I have him ranked 19th.
Do you? Because that's
interesting.
How recent is that, that he's 19th?
I have felt like
you and almost everybody else that we draft
with, internally really, passes
up Gurley until early in the third round, which
would be 26th or so. I'm sorry.
I have him 23rd in non-PPR.
I think he's probably the same.
I don't know. I've been moving those guys
around quite a bit.
So 23 in non-PPR
and 23, both.
Okay, so now you want
to recalibrate? You still think it's a two on the
absurdometer? No, I don't have a problem with it.
Again, I think he's the type
of guy that is not, if you're taking him
around two, I don't think he's going to crush your team.
And if you're in the camp of what you're saying, Adam,
is that he's going to be fine,
which again is starting to trend a little bit more in that direction,
then you're getting a guy that's going to win your league.
Okay, I'm not exactly sure he's going to be fine.
You're hoping.
I felt there was a little bit too much of an overreaction.
15 does feel a little early to me.
I don't know which running...
I can't sit here and say, oh, Dalvin Cook's much safer.
I can't say Nick Chubb and Damian Williams are much safer than Todd Gurley.
And just to put it in perspective, on a per-game basis,
in 2017, he was 4.1 more fantasy points better per game than any other running back in non-PPR,
2.7 more in PPR. In 2018, he averaged 3.5 more fantasy points per game in non-PPR than any other
running back and 2.5 more in PPR. So he's just so much better when he's at his best.
But I don't think you guys are overreacting really that much.
Just a little bit.
But don't start questioning yourself because you have every right to be nervous about Todd Gurley.
I mean, he's already torn his ACL and now he's got this arthritic condition.
And he was terrible at the end of last year.
And they drafted a running back, the third running back off the board
in the NFL draft,
it's funny,
he was terrible in the final two games,
the NFC Championship game
and the Super Bowl.
In the first playoff game
against the Cowboys,
he ran for 100 yards,
scored a touchdown.
He had a lot of open space in that game.
Yeah.
Totally fine.
Yep.
Yeah.
And that was the first game
after the injury.
Yeah.
So,
it was also after a bye,
right?
It was also after a bye, for what Huh? It was also after a bye,
for what it's worth.
It was, but still, it was a Super Bowl.
No, it was after missing
three straight weeks,
because he missed...
He missed four weeks of playing.
Two games, bye week,
or three games, three weeks of playing.
Right.
Two weeks, two games,
and then a bye week,
and then that big game
against the Cowboys, yeah.
It was, I mean,
and Anderson also had a big game.
Yes.
Okay.
Moving on.
Next up on the Absurd-O-Meter.
How absurd is it to take Damian Williams' 20th overall in half PPR?
Zero.
Four.
Three.
Okay.
20th, Dave.
I know you've always been the high guy on Damian Williams.
Is that too rich for your blood?
Maybe a little bit.
I'm going to take a tight end.
I'm going to take Kittler-Earts ahead of Damon Williams there.
So if one of those tight ends is there, I'm going to go in that direction.
But he's just at the door of a huge opportunity.
He's really good as a pass catcher.
He's really good as an edge runner.
He's never had an opportunity like this before.
And even last year, I think he only had one game with more than 15 carries but he's going to get a lot of catches he's in a great offense that box
will never be stacked against him i i think he's going to be the one that they use most in short
yardage and goal line situations he was last year that'll come down to how carlos hyde looks in camp
but i i believe that damian willian Williams will be a good fantasy running back
this year.
Does it concern you that
in six seasons with Andy Reid
as their head coach, only two Chiefs running
backs have had more than 40 catches in a
season?
So that would be Jamal Charles had 70
in 2013 and Kareem Hunt had 53
catches in 2017.
What would Hunt have had in
2018 had he not gotten kicked off
the team? Not many, actually. It was a little surprising.
His catches were
low last year. They were down.
I can tell
you he had
26 catches in 11
games.
So he wouldn't have gotten to 40
based on that pace.
You said Charles and who else? Westbrook?
No, Hunt's rookie year.
53 catches.
Read with the Chiefs.
And those are both Alex Smith.
Those are both Alex Smith.
Mahomes is clearly going to be the type of guy
that's going to try and look down the field as opposed to the dump
off more so than Smith was.
Look, if you're buying Damian Williams, it's not so much you're buying Williams,
you're buying injury.
But off the top of my head, without knowing that stat,
I would think if Damian Williams is the Chiefs' starting running back,
I would just think, eh, 60 catches.
But maybe I'm thinking too high.
I look at Damian Williams
and obviously I was the anti-Williams
guy, and again, this is
more, not more, this is
all Andy Reid.
I feel like Damian Williams
is a better version of what Spencer Ware
was coming into the year where Ware was supposed
to be at least the lead guy before
Kareem Hunt. We all
thought that Hunt was the more talented player.
There's not a Kareem Hunt on the roster
because Carlos Hyde is not that guy.
Darwin Thompson is not that guy.
He might be, but it's hard to project that.
Not yet.
So I think Williams has the chance to,
if he stays healthy,
to keep the job all year,
to be very good in that job,
and to be a great fantasy option because of what Reed's track record is.
He's been a head coach 20 times.
11 of those 20 years, he's had a running back finish as a top 10 PPR guy.
And that includes some of the best players at the position.
If you want to go from borderline Hall of Fame guys like Brian Westbrook and Jamal Charles,
what we've seen from Kareem Hunt, he was fantastic as a rookie.
You have one year of Deuce Daly doing it.
If you want to talk about a guy that wasn't exactly very good
in terms of comparing him to these other guys,
he was obviously good as a player.
And Williams, you take his numbers from what he did in those six games,
over 16 games is amazing, factoring the playoffs.
But it's just a matter of he does not profile as a great player.
He's in a great situation.
And so we could see, because there really was no competition
when he took over for Hunt last year,
you could see a situation where Hyde takes some work,
Thompson takes some work.
But if he does solidify himself in this position,
20 is not a leap to get that type of player.
And the Chiefs are ready to give him that opportunity
to solidify himself as their starter.
They've been talking that way all offseason long.
And Adam, would you say 24 catches in five games is good?
Yeah, he was on pace.
That's what he had the last five games with Mahomes.
28 targets, 24 catches, 210 yards,
and he had three touchdowns through the air.
Five games? Because I had
because he played six games as, you know,
getting a lot of work. Uh-huh.
That's just specifically the last five. He had more
carries in those last five games. He was
on pace for 64 catches based
on his last six games, including the postseason.
So he would have, you know,
broken that mark. All right, next up. You have to wonder what
Hardman's role is going to be, too.
Next up, same team.
Patrick Mahomes,
35th overall.
Mahomes scored 68.5
more fantasy points
than any other quarterback
and four point
per passing touchdown leagues
and six point
per passing touchdown leagues.
Ninety-four more fantasy points
than any other quarterback.
35th overall.
Absurdometer, Jamie.
Zero.
I'm going to say five. It's like three.
When you take Mahomes, you better be sure you're not passing up anybody else that you would look at and say, there's somebody who can start for me at running back, receiver, or tight end and give
me solid production over the course of the season.
I'm looking at our rankings right now
and our top 200 PPR.
I have him 43.
Dave has him...
Lower than that.
54.
And Heath has him 41.
Anything in the third round to me
is perfectly acceptable for Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah.
Unless it's a 2QB league
and you want to take him in round one,
I get it for a super flex.
Just the history of guys who have epic, epic seasons
and what they do the next year.
Right.
It's chasing them in round one that's the problem.
I think if you're taking a swing in the third round,
I have no problem with that at all.
But what if he finishes as the number five fantasy quarterback?
If he finishes in the third round,
I think that would qualify as a disappointment. If he finishes as a
number five guy and it's a complete downturn
for the position, then I think you
had a bad draft. If he finishes as the
fifth guy and we see the year that you're expecting
for luck, the year that Heath is expecting for Watson,
what I think Aaron Rodgers could do
and all those guys are competing for
the number one spot, then it's
a different conversation. But clearly
you're drafting him to be the number one guy again.
Yeah, I just think since you can make the case
that Rodgers, Luck, Watson,
I really don't see Mayfield,
but those other three guys beating him.
No, but you could see Cam, you could see Ryan.
I could see Cam.
I could see Ryan, but I think the other three are really in the discussion with Mahomes.
Yeah, I mean, if the Falcons are going to run the ball again,
it's not going to be Ryan to the same level that we've seen,
but he's going to be in that conversation.
But the other three, Rodgers, Luck, and Watson,
those are the three that are the easiest cases to make as QB1 with Mahomes.
If you don't really see that much separation,
then I think 35 is too early for Mahomes.
If you do see a lot of separation, I'm not going to fault you for that.
Just know that Peyton Manning,
Mahomes scored the most fantasy points since Peyton Manning in 2013.
2014, Manning had another amazing season, and he was QB4.
But he was also older.
You know what?
Who's the best comparison?
Who's the best comparison then?
I think I got it.
To Mahomes?
Yeah, to what Mahomes just did.
I wonder, is it Marino?
Marino.
Yeah.
So I went back and I looked at what Marino did in 1984.
But just comparing it to himself, Dan Marino never had a better year than what he did in 1983.
His second year in the league league he set at the time 84
1984 right he was he came in in 83 1984 just about 5100 yards 48 touchdowns 17 interceptions
a passer rating today's nfl that's a 7000 yards incredible 108.9 passer rating which was like
unbelievable back then his second highest passer rating actually came in 1986.
It was 92.5.
Okay, excluding his rookie year, he didn't throw that much,
and he actually did have a very good passer rating.
But 92.5 was basically his second best passer rating behind 108.9.
So in 1984, he has the amazing year.
In 1985, his fantasy points, I calculated his fantasy points
based on six-point-per-passing touchdowns.
83 was 457 fantasy points.
Sorry, 84, 457.
85, 303.
And he had an amazing year.
He led the league in passing, but he went down to 303.
So he bounced back in 86 with 408 fantasy points, which was incredible.
And he led the NFL in passing again, but that's 408 fantasy points compared to, at his peak, 457.
So there is just no way in my mind Patrick Mahomes is producing like he did last year.
It's just a matter of does his regression catch up to the league?
Yeah.
All right.
So next up.
I mean, look, Brees is the only quarterback in NFL history
to have back-to-back 5,000-yard seasons.
I think it wouldn't be a surprise if Mahomes does this year.
All right.
So I don't know this, so I just want to look it up.
After his first one, Drew Brees, how much did his touchdown –
how far did his touchdowns drop?
I don't know.
All right, let me look that up.
Next up is Tyler Boyd, 67th overall.
What is the absurd-o-meter on that?
That is maybe a little late.
Tyler Boyd, 67 overall.
Round six.
Middle of round six.
12-team league.
That's a little absurd. Let's give it round six. Middle of round six. 12-team league. That's a little absurd.
Let's give it a six.
I think he's a round five player,
maybe even late round four in full PPR.
Okay.
So a six for Tyler Board Jamie?
Zero.
Oh, really?
You think that's okay?
You think that's not too late?
Yeah, round six is fine for him.
So, you know, I've asked this question on Facebook.
Join our Facebook group, Fantasy Football Today.
Who are the hardest players for you to gauge this offseason?
And Boyd is a common answer.
You know, it really came out of nowhere last year
for him to be a top 20 wide receiver in only 14 games.
Real quick, where do you guys stand on him?
What are your thoughts?
If Zach Taylor's offense in Cincinnati is going to be similar to the types of offenses he's worked
with before, it should agree with Boyd very much. He's a tall slot receiver who proved last year
that he could thrive in that role. He'll do it again, and he'll continue to get targets and all sorts of wonderful numbers because of it.
We've seen this offense with Cooper Cup, Mohamed Sanu.
Those guys have stepped up and put up good to great numbers when they've been given the opportunity.
And I just think Boyd's on track to be a nice, safe number two fantasy receiver.
Okay, Drew Brees, just to go back he actually threw
for 5 000 yards three straight years but 54 76 and then down to like below 5200 fantasy points
went from 483 431 435 bum loser and then and then the year after, he only threw for 4,952 yards. He doesn't even try.
Miles Sanders, 83rd.
Jordan Howard, 85th.
Which one's more absurd?
Miles Sanders, 83rd overall, or
Jordan Howard, 85th?
Neither. Neither.
These are good, you think? Yeah.
You're seeing Sanders fall for obvious
reasons. Health. Now more
competition.
And Howard has just kind of lived in that spot,
which I think is fine.
Yeah, I think I've been overdrafting Miles Sanders.
I definitely have not been waiting until round seven.
He's probably been more of a round six pick for me.
So that's an alert.
I could probably wait a little bit longer,
or maybe I should.
All right, Miles Sanders and Jordan Howard going late in the seventh round,
83rd and 85th overall.
Larry Fitzgerald, 99th overall.
Is that absurd?
Zero to ten on the absurdometer.
Larry Fitzgerald, 99th.
In half PPR?
Yeah.
Three?
I was going to say like one.
I don't think people are going to be that excited to draft Larry Fitzgerald,
but this is about the time when you would consider it.
See, let me tell you who's going after him at wide receiver.
Corey Davis, Kiki Cutie, Nikhil Harry, DK Metcalf, Marquez Valdez,
Scantling, Cortland Sutton, Golden Tate, D.D. Westbrook, Curtis Samuel.
Wow, where's D.Dee Westbrook, Curtis Samuel. 99th overall.
Wow, where's DeeDee Westbrook going?
117th.
That's like an 8.5 on the ludicrous scale.
Absurdometer.
Too high or too low?
Too early or too late for DeeDee?
That's too late for DeeDee.
Yeah.
I'm taking DeeDee.
I'm taking most of those receivers over Larry Fitzgerald.
Right.
That's why it feels a little absurd to me, especially with Kyler Murray.
We have no idea what to expect.
100%.
And they have a revamped receiving core.
You know what I mean?
It could be a situation where Fitzgerald's coming off the field at times.
Yeah, we got to bump that up.
Let's do the absurdometer again.
I forgot what you said, but I'm asking you again.
But at the same time, though, I don't have a problem taking a chance on them there.
If the conversation is the number,
the number's fine.
The receivers that are going after them,
some of it is just crazy.
Like Samuel should go ahead of him.
QT should go ahead of him.
Sutton should go ahead of him.
Valdez-Ganling should go ahead of him.
But I'd take him over Metcalf.
I'd take him over Harry.
I'd take him over...
I don't know what else you said.
Valdez-Ganling?
No, I'd take MBS over him.
Sutton?
I'd take Sutton over him.
Golden Tate?
That's questionable.
He said Tate's the last one for me on the absurdometer.
114th overall.
Half PPR.
Really?
I can't stand Golden Tate, and I think that that's pretty absurd.
That's absurd.
He should be hired.
Yeah, it's round 10.
It's too late.
Yeah.
I feel like I would swap Tate and Fitzgerald's ADPs.
Like, Tate feels more like 99th overall.
Fitzgerald feels more like round 10.
Sure, yep.
Okay.
Well, thank you for participating in the Absurd-O-Meter, everybody.
Wait, Heath has a participation, too.
I can queue it up, you know.
The master side. I'm not going to do the
compilation but hold on let's let's get that heat set oh here it is ah there we go
okay the facebook group is uh it's fun facebook uh fantasy football today is the group i posted
a twitter facebook poll not a twitter poll, that asked about quarterback strategy.
It was very strange.
And then I got reported for spam in Facebook.
I don't know what that was about.
It's so weird.
It's like, it's in my group, man.
I'm not spamming anybody.
But the question was,
how do you feel about drafting a second quarterback
in a 12-team, one-quarterback league.
And the options were only if I miss out on a stud QB.
I often or always draft two QBs or never.
And that's actually not how I put that.
That's how they're ranked in terms of votes.
I've never won.
No, never's in last of these three options.
What?
Yeah, people take two quarterbacks,
and I do too, more often than you guys do.
I would have voted for,
I often or always draft two QBs.
You guys, though, would have voted for what?
Never.
No, wait, wait.
That's not what I would have.
I shouldn't say never, because I have.
I didn't vote for that,
and that's not what I would have.
I'm sorry.
I would have and did vote for,
only if I miss out on a stud quarterback do I draft a second that's how i draft how about you
guys the only time i draft a second quarterback is if i feel like it's an absurd value
in one of the drafts that we've done i got got Kyler Murray. I didn't need Kyler Murray.
I got him in like round 10 or round 11.
We did the pick-by-pick series for the site.
I think I got Drew Brees in round 14.
I had Aaron Rodgers in round six or round seven,
something like that,
and Drew Brees was still sitting there.
I don't know what I'm going to do with him,
but I bet that if I trade Drew Brees in the season after I take him in round 14,
I'll get a player in return who was drafted before round 14.
That's if you trade for a quarterback, which we don't usually see happen in our analysis.
No, I'm not expecting to get a big, big player in return for him.
Quarterback values are depressed.
All right, so I'm looking at your team here.
Who's the first guy you're cutting?
Well, Josh Gordon might be the first guy you cut.
But you're not cutting anybody you drafted barring injury in the first 10 rounds.
Well, I mean, maybe Campbell.
Who are some candidates?
Or Darwin Thompson.
Huh?
Oh, okay.
I was asking for some cut candidates.
So round 10 was Paris Campbell.
If he doesn't do what Dave thinks he can do, that's a cut candidate.
Darwin Thompson, if it's Damian Williams for the first seven or eight weeks
and then Hyde's the one mixing in, that's a cut candidate.
Gordon is somebody you can cut.
So that's always the question.
Who are you going to end up releasing
when you have to make a move,
especially when it's a guy you're not playing?
That's the problem with drafting two quarterbacks.
It's good to have on draft day.
It's good to have when you start your season,
but you're going to end up giving somebody
a potential starter that they're not going to end up trading for.
Well, yeah, I understand that.
But in listener drafts, non-analyst drafts just be mindful people
take second quarterbacks oh totally i get it i get it i mean you see it with the average
opposition and i understand why you know it's exactly what they've said you know there's just
great value when you see these guys late but it's it you know and and there's more
ability to there's more likelihood of of those trades happening in those leagues than our leagues.
Okay, so again, the poll question was,
in a 12-team, one-quarterback league, how do you feel about drafting two quarterbacks?
The winning answer is only if I miss out on a stud QB.
That's what I voted for.
The second most responded or the second most answered option i don't know was i
often or always draft two quarterbacks and then third was never so i've got a quarterback strategy
and i relied on a little bit of help on this one one of our listeners before you get there though
i just want to give you an example this is just one of the analyst drafts that we did this is
the one we did with guys from other sites.
How many people do you think of the 12 owners took two quarterbacks?
Five.
Less.
Two.
Did I?
No, I had Rodgers.
Only if I missed out on a stud.
You took Rodgers.
Evan Silva established the run, took Russell Wilson and Ben Roethlisberger.
And Michael Fabiano from NFL.com took Jared Goff and Lamar Jackson.
Yeah, so, yeah, that's not going to happen in most 12-team leagues,
but fair enough.
And that means the waiver wire is going to be loaded.
So, oh, yeah, the strategy.
Pairing a quarterback with Drew Brees.
This is inspired by listener Mike Sanda,
who has been doing a lot of research and sending me some emails,
and his emails are really long,
so I don't really get a chance to read them on the air,
but I wanted to use some of his work.
So I took his idea a little bit.
His idea was to pair Roethlisberger and Brees
and use both of them at home.
And hopefully when one of them has a road game, the other one is at home. It has worked out. If you had done that, you know, for the last few
years, you would have basically had a top five quarterback. Of course, you would have had to
invest a lot more in them than you would this year, Rothlisberger and Brees. This year, it doesn't
really work out. So I set out to find who is the quarterback that you should pair with Drew Brees.
The idea being you start Drew Brees in every home game because last year he scored, he played seven
home games and he scored 28 or more fantasy points and six point per passing touchdown leagues in
five of those seven games. He averaged 321.6 yards per game with 21 passing touchdowns in seven home games uh full disclosure
2017 he didn't really do that great at home he played well but he just didn't throw that many
touchdowns but for the most part that was the theme of the season yeah that was just right exactly
but for the most part we know what drew breeze is he is a monster at home if you think that's
going to continue then all you need to do is find a quarterback
for weeks 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11,
13, and 16.
And it looks like the best options
to me are... Or don't draft Drew Breeze.
Or don't draft Drew Breeze, but this is
really cool because... No, I'm just saying
if you don't want to deal with that head.
Lamar Jackson.
And let's just say you want to look at the first half
of the schedule and then worry about the rest after.
So that would be weeks 2, 3, 6, 7, and 9, okay?
Lamar Jackson in 2, 3, 6, 7, and 9 faces Arizona at Kansas City, Cincinnati at Seattle, and New England.
So Arizona at Kansas City and Cincinnati are his first three matchups when Breeze is on
the road. Josh Allen might really be the answer to this question of who to pair with Breeze.
At the Giants, Cincinnati, a bye week, unfortunately. Miami, Washington at Miami.
Those are his first five games when you aren't using Drew Breeze. I think Garoppolo's got some good matchups.
Phillip Rivers has some good matchups. Tom Brady.
Like Tom Brady
at Miami in week two.
The Jets at home in week three.
The Giants. He always digs at Miami though.
Not always, but it's sort of
a mixed bag. You are right. I went back
and looked this morning just because I felt the same way.
Like last year he threw for three touchdowns
at a big game.
At Miami, the Jets, the Giants on a Thursday at the Jets.
Those are his first four games in the non-breeze weeks.
And Kirk Cousins, like I didn't include Green Bay that much as a tough matchup,
as an easy matchup because they have done so much to improve,
but they actually have to go out and improve. Because last year they improved.
Last year they were terrible against the pass.
But Kirk Cousins at Green Bay, Oakland, Philadelphia,
at Detroit, at Kansas City through week nine.
That's pretty good to pair with Drew Brees.
What do you guys think about this potential strategy?
I'm intrigued by it.
But it's going to be contingent on getting Drew Brees in round 10 plus.
And it's going to be contingent on just how much bench space I have.
And if I want to go with this strategy here i am in my draft room waiting for drew brees to fall to me and i see
one of luck rogers watson it probably won't be watson r Mayfield. Okay. Fall to round seven.
I'm going to, I'm aborting the Drew Brees mission to go and get one of those.
Well, Brees' ADP on CBS Sports is round seven.
Okay. So we're done with this then because if someone else is going to take Drew Brees in round
seven, I'm not going to follow through.
Yeah.
I guess you got to be in a league where Brees falls a little bit farther than that.
But even if you, even if you like him in round seven, which is also where he is on Fantasy Football Calculator, 82nd overall.
Even if you like Drew Brees there.
I mean, he is so damn good at home.
If you are one to take two quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Jimmy Garoppolo to a lesser extent are the three that I would really focus on.
All right, so let me ask you a question, Adam.
So let's say you do this,
and then you get the one bad game of Breeze on.
You said you had five of seven that were really good?
Yes.
And one of these guys do well in those weeks.
You live with it.
Don't you pivot?
No, no, you live with it.
Well, it's two bad games in a row.
Then maybe you start thinking about it,
but I think you understand that no matter what you do,
if you have two quarterbacks on your team,
you are going to make wrong decisions at some point over 16 weeks.
Sure.
But, I mean, at what point, if it's the 2017 Drew Brees again,
do you start to say, okay, this theory is not working?
I don't really.
How many games do you want to give it? I don't really plan for that. I'm just curious. No, I don't really... How many games do you want me to give it?
I don't really plan for that.
I'm just curious.
No, I don't think it's an easy question to answer
because if he's the 2017 Drew Brees
and he's a bust and you screwed up,
but if you think he's the Drew Brees
that's going to be really good at home
and probably not worth using on the road,
then this is what you do, I think.
What if he has an easy matchup on the road?
Do you still...
Yeah, one of those matchups is...
One of those road games is at Tampa Bay.
So I think you...
You know, that's a good problem to have.
When is he at Tampa Bay?
He's at Tampa Bay...
11.
Week 11.
So who has a tough matchup in that week of those guys?
That would be... If you don't want to use Josh Allen that week.
If you don't want to use Lamar Jackson against Houston,
you start Breeze that week.
Or the third door is to look and see who's on waivers.
You can drop Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen or Jimmy Garoppolo, and then you start the quarterback that you pick up off waivers. Yep. And you can drop Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen or Jimmy Garoppolo,
and then you start
the quarterback that
you pick up off
waivers.
Who's to say Nick
Foles isn't lighting
things up by that
point in the year?
You just grab him
off waivers,
because a lot of
quarterbacks who are
going to be good
are going to be on
waivers.
Yep, yep.
Okay, well, I
thought it was an
interesting strategy,
and I want to thank
Mike Sanda for all
of the work he puts
in in his emails.
I will keep,
I will keep that strategy in my back pocket.
And if I find myself in a draft where by some,
for some reason I'm without a quarterback and seven of them are off the
board,
I'm going to strongly consider this.
I don't mind it.
It's just not,
it wouldn't be my first choice.
Okay. Uh, we're going to take a quick break and when we come back, we're going to finish our
show with your emails. We have a mailbag
show coming tomorrow, so just a few emails today.

All right.
He wants answers to these either ors.
T.Y. Hilton versus Stefan Diggs.
PPR, by the way, with 100-yard receiving bonuses or rushing.
Hilton by a nose.
A.J. Green versus Keenan Allen.
Green.
Keenan Allen.
Mark Ingram versus Kenyon Drake.
Drake.
I have Drake higher.
It's PPR.
Yep.
James White versus Tariq Cohen.
White and PPR, Cohen and non-PPR.
I'll take Cohen in both.
And that is it.
Thank you, Duncan.
Next question is from Scott from Boston. In the mock drafts I've done so far, I end up having to choose between Philip Lindsay or James White in the
seventh or eighth round. They seem very close. Who is the better choice, in your opinion, in PPR,
Philip Lindsay or James White? I don't think James White does what he did last year. And I think Phil Lindsay has a pretty good opportunity to get close to it.
I think even if he's sharing with Royce Freeman,
he can get close to 1,000 total yards.
And I think he'll catch, I don't know, not as many passes as James White,
but at least half as many.
So I would lean toward him.
I'll take White and PPR, Lindsay and non-PPR.
This is from Seth from the Capitol, where Abe Lincoln is best known for.
Springfield, Illinois.
Keeper question.
PPR, keep one.
McCaffrey in the second round, Tyreek Hill in the fourth,
or George Kittle in the eighth?
McCaffrey in the second, Kittle in the eighth. Tyreek Hill in the fourth or George Kittle in the eighth? McCaffrey in the second, Kittle in the eighth.
Tyreek in the fourth.
Kittle in the eighth.
Yeah.
I think if it's for one year, it's got to be Kittle in the eighth.
Okay.
Let me find one more keeper question, and then we'll finish the show.
Did you guys have a nice day today?
Nice day at work?
We got our pictures taken.
Oh, cool.
Yep, so when you see us on your Roku and all your OTT devices,
