Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath. Welcome to Fantasy Football Today, everyone. It's New Year's Eve. Happy New Year, Jamie, and Eve. Welcome to Fantasy Football today, everyone. It's New Year's Eve. Happy New Year, Jamie Isenberg. Got some resolutions ready to share? No, but I'll make some up. Okay, like regular resolutions? Non-fantasy?

No. Can you make resolutions? I am going to make a resolution. What is it? I'm going to try to stick to it. Well, I fail every year. It's always like exercise. Never do that.

But I'm going to try to cut down on my profanity this year because you know because now i can't you know he's gonna start my little kid's gonna start saying what i say so i gotta start cutting out of the profanity a little that's a good one it is a damn good resolution welcome to the show jamie and i are here in studio in fort lauderdale and we do have some fantasy resolutions for you we'll go through all the coaching news. Not that much this year, but Ron Rivera hired by the Redskins. I've got some five random topics that I'm actually really excited to talk about.

Matthew Stafford's in there. Jimmy Garoppolo's in there. Tampa Bay, something about them, in there. So we'll get to that. I'll start with the coaching news. So what's the biggest fantasy coaching news so far? Biggest fantasy coaching news so far? I don biggest fantasy coaching news so far biggest fantasy coaching news so far um i don't know if there is one fantasy wise there hasn't really hasn't

been anything yet because we don't know who some of the new hires are going to be right obviously losing some of the key coordinator slash coaches could be prominent but um i guess one if you're interested in the Jaguars passing game, or offensive general, the fact that we're just finding out right before the show that Doug Marone is going to return for the Jaguars. So John DiFilippo, I guess, is going to be back. And that is

probably a good thing for their passing game, because we saw some strides this year from them. Probably a good thing for Fournette. Because I'm of the mind that he won't duplicate his, replicate his pass catching prowess. Heath's like, well, they're going to keep the same offensive coordinator. I don't know if Heath thinks he'll have the same amount of catches, but that'll still be very important. I would say he'd be around 50.

Yeah, but he was like around 80 this year, wasn't he? No, that's hard to replicate for what his skill set should be. And I wonder if the Week 17 performance from Rykel Armstead opened some eyes a little bit because he looked explosive. All right, so we'll talk a little. I have a few Week 17 leftovers to get to, but mostly we're looking forward. We'll give you those resolutions.

We'll read your emails, fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. It's a really good time to send your emails in. Again, fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. And if you're one of those people that's like, hey, you never respond to my email, well, make sure you're sending it to CBSI, the letter I, not E-Y-E, because some people do that.

And we don't respond to that because that's not a real address. Winners and losers in terms of the coaching news. So I have Baker Mayfield as a winner and I have Daniel Jones as a loser. Do you agree with those? No, because I want to see who the Browns hire first, because I don't think this offense was very good to begin with. It just seemed dysfunctional, you know?

Just a fresh start for Mayfield, for Beckham, for Landry. I can't see them being worse. I do agree with Baker. I'm sorry. Yes, it's a win for him. Yes, so I apologize. Daniel Jones, I don't know. I mean, if they bring in somebody that's better than Pat Shermer,

and I think it's more about the personnel at this point. Who's better than Pat Shermer? You. To be fair, he's got a very good track record. He's a good coordinator. As an offensive coach. He's not a good head coach. I don't like Daniel Jones having to learn a new offense.

And, yeah, the uncertainty. Because I actually, if Pat Shermer ends up as a coordinator, you and I debated this on the radio show on Saturday night, if he ends up somewhere as a coordinator, I would consider that a good hire. You know, I like Pat Shermer in terms of fantasy offense. What he did with Case Keenum was pretty remarkable. What he's done with the Giants, even Eli Manning wasn't that bad last year. And this year, I thought Daniel Jones outperformed just about everyone's expectations.

He's a good play caller. And maybe when he has the right personnel, he'll be better. But I think that's an incomplete. I don't think it's a win or a loss yet. Because if they get somebody who's on par or better, it could be good for him. Jason Garrett right now is still the Cowboys head coach. Not expected to be the Cowboys head coach. This is a weird one because his contract expires, I believe,

on the 14th of January. Yeah. So they don't necessarily have to fire him. Right. Just fire him. Just let him have two weeks. What do you think about Chad O'Shea getting fired, the Dolphins coordinator? Didn't surprise me totally.

I mean, the offense wasn't great. You know, Fitzpatrick saved them in a lot of situations just by his nature of play. They couldn't run the ball at all. You know, I mean, it's hard to necessarily say it's a fair slate for him because of the talent he was dealing with. And, you know, offensive linemen shuffling in and out. And, you know, guys that are, you know, they're NFL caliber players, obviously, but they're not superstars. And so, you know, guys that are, you know, they're NFL caliber players, obviously, but they're not superstars.

And so, you know, how would he have done with stars or potential stars or, you know, established players? So, Chan Gailey is a guy that's had a lot of success in the NFL. It's just, it's weird that he's back again. You know, you just don't, you know, think about guys at his age that sort of leave the game for a little bit and then come back. We'll see. You know, that's one, I think, where you got to see who they're working with because there's

so many uncertainties with. Yeah, they're going to look very, very different. So honestly, to be quite honest, I just don't think there's that much to dissect here. Well, I think if you're looking at it from the Washington defensive perspective, Ron Rivera will do some good things there. You know, it's it's i didn't see the contract numbers yet it's it's weird that that's where he wanted to go because yeah you know you're you're dealing with um you know a team that just has not had a lot of success and you think for a guy that's

probably trying to get a super bowl or or has some sustained success after what he went through in carolina the last couple of years. You know, I don't know if there's a situation that's dramatically better that was available to him, but right. We don't know who wanted him, but like if I'm, if I, if a lot of,

a lot of people obviously were sort of tying him to the giants because of Dave Gettleman. Yeah. And if I had my choice, I would prefer the giants over Washington because I like Daniel Jones better than Dwayne Haskins. I think there's probably a quicker path to victory there. There's no guarantee, but I just think you look at what the talent

for both those teams are. The Giants' talent base right now seems to be a little bit better. All right, so where were the openings? We had Washington, we had the Giants, let's say we have the Cowboys, we have the Browns, and Carolina. Is that it, five of them? Now that Jacksonville is locked in, and Atlanta is locked in. Let's say you're a hot head coaching candidate.

What would your preferences be? Oh, Dallas is number one. Dallas one. I would say Cleveland two. The only thing that makes me nervous about Cleveland, if I'm a prospective head coach that has options, is they just don't have a long track record of sticking with one guy i mean you look at the coaches that have come in come out you have now the one and done with um it's two one and dones really because rob chunziski was one and done too so you know there there's a there's

a history here of not giving your coach the chance to sort of stumble through some things and and learn so if you're matt rule for for example, who doesn't have any NFL coaching experience, if you fail, is it I'm out in two years now after not doing well over that span? So what's number two for you? I would think the Giants. Really? Just because, again, you have...

I think Daniel Jones is going to be good. I do think that you have young running back who's obviously excellent. You have some key pieces offensively. Defense obviously needs a ton of work. A ton of work. But it feels like once you have the quarterback in place, you can make some things happen. And I do feel like Daniel Jones is legit.

Not that Dwayne Haskins isn't. He has a chance to show some things. But Jones-Haskins right now, I would take Jones. Not that I would take them over Baker. So you go Dallas, Giants. Probably Cleveland third. Carolina. Washington.

Yeah. I mean, Washington, what a bad franchise they are right now. They just must have thrown a lot of money at Rivero. I guess. Hard to overlook. All right. So that's pretty much going to wrap up our coaching discussion. Obviously, we have three episodes per week during the offseason,

and we'll tell you about all the coordinators that get hired, the head coaches that get hired. But right now, until those hirings are made, there's not much to break down. Now, if you heard our Sunday night show, we gave you our nominations for the Fantasy Awards. You can go on our Facebook page and vote for them. Our Facebook group is Fantasy Football Today. You can vote for them on that page,

and you can vote for the bust via Apple Podcast Review. That's where we're going to collect the votes for the biggest bust of the season in fantasy. I think it's Le'Veon Bell, personally. I think he would get my vote. David Johnson, come on. All right, that's fair. Okay, fine.

David Johnson. Gosh, Le'Veon was so bad. So, yeah, send us your votes. At least you knew you could sit David Johnson. At least you could replace him at one point. If you knew that you could sit him, that probably means he's a bust. Yeah, but what I'm saying is you're still starting Le'Veon Bell.

I would take the eight points of Le'Veon Bell as opposed to the zero of David Johnson. You didn't have to start the zero. You got to put someone better in. Probably better than Le'Veon Bell. That's still your first or second round pick. Yeah, it's bad. It's bad.

All right, well, there you go. See, the bait rages on. So you can vote for that one on Apple Podcasts. The other ones vote for on our Facebook group. Playoff Pick'Em. You got a few days to get your picks in. It's almost time. CBS Sports has a new way for you to up the action. It's Playoff Pick'Em.

They're very thought-provoking. I love all of your random things. Random slash playoff. All right. I worked very hard on these five random things. I think you're going to enjoy them. They're very good. They're very thought-provoking.

I love all of your random things. Random thing number one. Julio Jones in week 17 had seven catches for 78 yards on 13 targets. Matt Ryan threw over 50 passes. Why do I bring this up? He's also banged up in the game. Tampa Bay Buccaneers against number one wide receivers in their last six games. They faced Julio Jones twice.

They faced Kenny Galladay, who's a top five receiver this year. They faced DeAndre Hopkins. They faced DJ Chark. None of them scored. Only Julio Jones had even 50 yards. They've got some young corners. Carlton Davis, who's been awesome. He's the one.

Jamel Dean. Sean Murphy Bunting. They're first and second year players. They just completed their rookie or their second seasons. Davis has come on very strong. This team has the looks of a great secondary. And I just think it's noteworthy. We'll have to wait until week one to really put it into focus.

But what they did there, and it sort of ties into what Bruzerian said about Jameis Winston. He believes in his defense now. And he's not going to deal with 30 interceptions going forward. Oh, well, I mean, nobody should deal with 30 interceptions. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, I think this is a credit to Todd Bowles. It's a credit to this defensive coaching staff, what they started with and what they were able to mold at the end of the season.

These are the type of improvements you like to see from young players, and it's why they got rid of Vernon Hargraves, too, is they wanted to let these guys flourish. So if they're able to keep Shaq Barrett, which is pretty important, they have two players of pretty significant prominence who are free agents, Jameis and Barrett. And if they can't work out a long-term extension with one of them, they're going to have to use a franchise tag on one of them. And so at this point, you don't want to let the quarterback go because that's tough to lose but Shaq Barrett is a big part of this too yeah you need to have that pass rush so I think this is gonna be one of these defense I don't know if they're gonna be a great DST fantasy wise but

this is not going to be one of those scenarios what we've talked about for the last couple years right pick on Tampa Bay right not anymore no by way, they led the NFL in passing yards two straight years. Passing yards allowed. I'm transitioning to their offense, sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, just another side note. The best passing game in the NFL two straight years, but now you combine that with the defense.

Maybe the passing numbers will come down a little bit, but you've got the makings of a potentially dangerous team there. And we know that run defense has been great all year. All right, second random thing. Matthew Stafford, on a per-game basis, do I guess where he finished? I know this. He was top three. Yeah. He was second in six-point, third in four-point per pass in touchdown leagues. What do you make of that with Stafford?

He was on pace for 5,000 yards, 38 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. This is a team that struggled to run the ball early in the season, as we recall. We talked about Kerryon Johnson's PPR numbers were okay, but his rushing numbers weren't so great. And a defense that was not probably as good as it should have been based on some of the talent that they acquired. Remember, we talked about, oh, this defensive front could be amazing when they got Trey Flowers and Mike Daniels.

And we thought that they would be pretty good, and it didn't necessarily pay off. So it put them in some tough spots. I think you look at it as if they're able to retain everyone. I don't, and maybe you want to look this up, Marvin Jones. I think he's either entering free agency or he's got one more year left. So Galladay, Jones, Hawkinson, I don't know if Amadol is a free agent too.

That's a pretty good receiving core there. And Carrion's a pretty good pass catcher. Yeah. If they were to use him in that regard. Nobody's going to really want him, Matthew Stafford, next year in drafts. He's an interesting sleeper. I just don't like quarterbacks that don't run.

And what he was doing— Which is funny because you were the one driving the Breeze campaign. I like Drew Breeze. He's exceptional. They were back-to-back in fancy points per game. Yeah. But Breeze obviously has done this a lot. Stafford—

He's done this a lot too. No. Not to this level. Exactly. Not to this level. Exactly. Not to this level. But I mean, he's a 5,000 yard passer. Those don't come along very well. 5,000 yards.

But he's not really a 5,000 yard passer. He's done it before. He was on pace for it. And his yards per attempt was like sky high. It was second best in the NFL. Best of his career. Yeah. So I just don't really think that he can do that again.

But he's an interesting player because I do think that if he plays, I think he'll be top 12. He'll fall into that, top 12. He's kind of like Phillip Rivers, but like what Phillip Rivers has been. Sure. Right? Consistently top 12. Always underrated. Top 10.

Always underrated. But he's also sort of a dinosaur because he is completely immobile, basically. He's not going to give you any rushing production. Sure. And you have to adapt to the times times so he's not the kind of late round flyer i'd like to take but but you say adapt to the times and yes lamar jackson was obviously amazing do you consider mahomes a running quarterback or he just runs he'll give you something with his legs okay so give me give me a number here because the the three guys that i think everybody's looking at is running running quarterbacks in the top 10.

So I just wrote this yesterday. It's on the site, our top 10 quarterbacks. It's Lamar, Kyler, and Josh Allen. Those are the three right now that are running 500 or more yards. So Jameis Winston had 250 yards. That was ninth best at quarterback. Put it right there. So 250.

Uh-huh. Is that the number that you're considering to be a running quarterback or does that have to be closer to five no no it doesn't have to be five okay so 250 yeah yeah okay so mahomes will probably give you 250 when he's healthy yeah right rogers used to but he doesn't anymore russell wilson will probably give you 250 when he's healthy depending on cam 250 is probably easy for him yeah okay so that's another guy I think that's going to be interesting on draft day as well. You're only going to get maybe seven or eight of those guys? Well, like I said, Winston was ninth in rushing on quarterbacks.

But you'll have more. I mean, I think Daniel Jones will break into that group. Yeah, look, maybe ten, right? Okay, so let's say ten guys. But their passing also has to sort of but they'll also get some rushing touchdowns matthew stafford is 14 in his career but josh allen had nine you know i mean that's gonna come down yeah yeah but i'm just saying so if you if you're looking for a late round pick in fantasy at quarterback what do you want you want upside or you want top 12 but if you if you're saying that okay so stafford on a

good year for him and when i say good year like what he was trending toward this year is a great year the best he would have had ever but good uh second best good year for him is probably 4400 yards 2017 4,429 touchdowns with 10 interceptions okay Okay. Very good year. So if you know you're getting that. Yeah. And 50 yards rushing and maybe two rushing touchdowns. Let's just say. Okay. I'll give him 100 yards.

He's usually around 100. That's a top 12 quarterback. It is. The question is, is it a top 12 quarterback that you really want to roster? You know, because it's a safe top 12 quarterback. It's not a league winning top 12 quarterback. But this is the type of guy you pair with a Daniel Jones or if you think Dwayne Haskins can make the leap. Or Joe Burrow.

Or Tannehill. Fitzpatrick. The type of guys that have huge volatility. But this is the safe guy. I guess I could make the case that you could have a quarterback strategy that would completely ignore somebody like Matthew Stafford. Unless you say, well, look what he did in these eight games in 2020. He's capable of that. But you could have a quarterback strategy that basically says, I'm only swinging for the fences.

I'm only taking guys who could finish top five. And Stafford, I really don't think could. But it also comes down to not just your draft approach to quarterbacks, your draft strategy in general. Because if you're going to swing for the fences, you're going to start to take these guys like Kyler and Josh Allen and the unproven guys over the course of – You would definitely take them over Stafford.

100%. But what I'm saying is there's going to be a group – we've already established this, and we probably haven't said it enough on this venue. But we all have five of us. You, me, Dave, Heath, and Ben Gretch have the same top four quarterbacks in some order. Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson. Five is where it gets crazy. I don't remember who I have five.

And then you have Dak. Okay. I have Jameis. Somebody else has Dak. Dave has Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan feels like a better version of Matthew Stafford. Yes. Okay, so it's all over the place where we're going with the

so five through ten is going to be where I think that's where your fantasy league could be decided. Yeah. If those four guys do what they've done or have shown the potential to do. But each of the last two years, Lamar Jackson was not a top 12 ADP quarterback. He was 14th. Where was Mahomes? Probably around that, right?

11 through 14. Right. But that's what I'm saying is this is where your draft strategy comes into play. Because those first four guys are probably, based on ADP, first three rounds, let's just say. I'm probably being conservative, but first three rounds. No, I wouldn't be surprised. I think round three is... No, I mean, not on our teams.

No, I mean, you usually take Rodgers in the third round. If I'm going to take him there, it's only going to be an expert draft because nobody else is taking him. Like, if we're drafting with general public, we're not getting those quarterbacks. We're going to be lower on it. We're going to be lower on the quarterbacks. We roll out of bed lower on the quarterbacks. Those four guys are going to be first three-round picks. Then it's going to be, okay, when do those next group of guys come off the board?

How excited are you about Kyler Murray in year two? How excited are you about Josh Allen in year three? How excited are you about if Dak gets maybe Josh McDaniels or Greg Roman or, you know, somebody who can change his game a little bit or enhance his skills? Or if Jameis stays with Bruce Arians and, you know, there's 5,030 on the table again with 250 rushing. You know, so those are the guys that are going to be, I think, the ones that people sort of gravitate toward. And then it's do I want Matt ryan do i want carson wentz do i want drew breeze aaron rogers or do i just say i don't care who i end up with because maybe i pair stafford and sam darnold maybe i pair um stafford and daniel jones you know this is i think where stafford comes into play philip rivers if he stays in Los Angeles,

that's how he's sort of been viewed. This is, I think, what people do. And I know you're sort of pushing this idea a lot, which I'm sure a lot of people are going to get behind, of I don't necessarily need to take the superstar quarterback, but I'm going to take two with the hope that I hit on one. And if I hit on that one, then I don't have to worry about the second guy. Yeah, I know.

I just don't know that Stafford is that guy. No, but Stafford is the I-know-what-I'm-getting guy. Right. So the floor is hopefully safe. So Tannehill and Stafford is not a bad pairing. Baker and Stafford is not a bad pairing. Joe Burrow and Stafford, if Joe Burrow looks like – The thing is with Joe Burrow is like –

He's probably not the best example. I'm not going to – because Kyler Murray had a good rookie year. Baker Mayfield had a good rookie year. Yeah, right. What I'm getting at is people get enamored with the next guy. And so it's not necessarily a bad thing to take the next guy and the safe guy with the hope that you're getting 44 and 30. You said 29?

44 and 29. 42 years ago, yeah. 4,400 and 29 touchdowns. Look, and Kenny Galladay is really awesome. So he's going to elevate Stafford. The point is people should know how good Stafford was in those eight games. Not every game was great, but he had a huge game at Arizona. Not a surprise.

Huge game against Minnesota. Huge game against the Giants. Huge game at Arizona. Not a surprise. Huge game against Minnesota. Huge game against the Giants. Huge game at Oakland. It's another thing to keep in mind. Three of those four blow up games were against three of the worst past defense. They're also going to play a last play schedule again. And what we're seeing is as great as Minnesota's defense is, and we'll see how they finish in the playoff,

that secondary is starting to fall apart a little bit. Guys are getting older. Green Bay secondary, I think, is on the rise, and their defense should continue to be good. But we saw some flaws in the Chicago defense. So two of the four. But they're still good. They're still very good, but it's not the same as it was two years ago.

And so you're seeing some flaws in two pretty established defenses that he may have to throw against. And with one superstar wide receiver and a budding tight end that could be a star, that's a lot to like. All right, next observation here, random fantasy observation. Derek Henry was the number four running back in non-PPR, number eight in PPR on a per game basis,

which is really interesting that he had such a great year and he was RB8 on a per game basis in PPR. However, he's within one fantasy point per game of being RB4. But you just look at the trends. This was such a strange year. You had four running backs who finished top 12 in points per game in PPR with less than, I want to say, 40 catches. There were only two of them in 2012. like okay so so the four this year were derrick henry remember this is points per game in ppr less than 40 catches henry was rb8 he had 18 catches ingram was rb10 he had 26 chubb was rb11 he had 36 and chris carson was rb12 he had 37

the only two who were top 12 last year on a per game basis in ppr with less than 40 catches were kareem hunt who was on pace for 38 catches he missed five games and leonard fournette who was on pace for 44 catches he missed in eight games um so you know it's just in ppr where's derrick henry gonna go what he did with 18 catches very unusual unusual. And I just don't think I'm going to draft him as of right now. Sure. I think when you think of Derrick Henry, like, you know, the historical guys you want to compare him to, think Michael Turner at his best in Atlanta. I was going to say Marshawn Lynch.

That was the second name I was going to say. Marshawn Lynch at his best in Seattle. You know, guys that are going to be maybe 25 catches, maybe. Right. If you get 30-plus, that's a dream. But think about the touchdown potential, the yardage potential, what their role is in this offense. And this is kind of, I think, you know,

depending on your preference of the type of players that you take. I'll give you a good comparison, because I think he was, at least going into the last week, he was pretty close in PPR. Maybe not per game, but seasonal points. Austin Eckler. So imagine Melvin Gordon's gone,

and it's Eckler and Justin Jackson as the two main guys for the Chargers. Who's more appealing to you as a PPR guy? Eckler or Henry, you're saying? Mm-hmm. I would say Henry. I have my doubts about Eckler, but it's a good question. But that's the type of, you know, a guy that could be 80 catches

and has shown the ability to find the end zone, so he could probably score 10 touchdowns. Mm-hmm. Maybe 1,500 total yards if things go right. I got a fun one for you here. I'm looking up Marshawn Lynch. His last season in Seattle. Fairly typical year for him.

1,300 rushing yards, 13 rushing touchdowns, and I actually caught 37 passes. All right, so I got to pick a different year then. I'll pick 2012. Oh, that's a really good year though. That's 1,600 yards. Let's do 2011. That's Derrick Henry though.

I guess, but 2011, 2012. All right, fine. You know what? Let me come back to this since I had to pick a different year because Derrick Henry's not catching 37 passes. But basically, I'm going to find out where Marshawn Lynch would rank today based on like a typical Seattle year. So I'll going to find out where Marshawn Lynch would rank today based on like a typical Seattle year. So I'll get to that in a second. Let's go to our next. Oh, this one

you'll like. Random fantasy observation. I might owe Jamie Lunch. I don't remember if that was the terms of the bet. Yeah, Lockett versus Metcalf. Lockett versus Metcalf. I thought Metcalf was going to lead the team in touchdowns. I think if he had caught that ball that Russell Wilson just airmailed right before the Lynch touchdown, he was wide open in the end zone. They would have tied, and I would have taken that as a win because technically he would have led the team in touchdowns. So would Lockett. Lockett finishes with eight and Metcalf with seven.

So congratulations on your lunch. Thanks, bud. And then finally, observation number five. We didn't really talk about Metcalf with seven. So congratulations on your launch. Thanks, bud. And then finally, observation number five. We didn't really talk about Metcalf, though. We were singing the praises of the Sunday show of Terry McLaurin and A.J. Brown and Devo Samuel. I feel like Metcalf gets overlooked with those guys. He had a really good season.

Not by me, because I love him. He had a really good season. He's such an interesting player. You know Lockett led the NFL in red zone targets? Interesting. Yeah. Metcalf had a good amount, but I's such an interesting player. You know Lockett led the NFL in red zone targets? Interesting. Yeah. Metcalf had a good amount, but I thought he was going to play that role. Lockett's touchdown catch Sunday night was one of the best throws I've ever seen Russell Wilson make.

I wish you wouldn't have said that because I didn't. I only saw the replay. I didn't see the throw. I don't know what happened. He apparently. I looked up. It was a touchdown. They're celebrating. It was right on the line of scrimmage. Oh, throw. I don't know what happened. He apparently. I looked up. It was like touchdown. They're celebrating.

It was right on the line of scrimmage. Oh, yes. I saw it. His foot just behind the line. His body was over, but his foot was still behind. The whole body. And he just threw a dart with, I don't know what the defender was, was just draped all over Lockett.

It was a beautiful play. Yeah. So Metcalf is interesting. This crop. I'll talk more about that with the resolutions but these rookie wide receivers are just amazing they have the chance to be what you have you have to wonder if there's going to be some you know setback for whoever it may be but aj brown looks like a star in the making um obviously metcalf if his route tree continues to grow and you know they don't do anything to change this receiving core because

as we know they've tried you know by bringing by bringing in Josh Gordon in the middle of season. But if it's Lockett and Metcalf at the top, there's a lot to like about him as a go to guy for Russell Wilson. Debo Samuel has been, you know, just making so many plays, whether it's running the ball or what he's done as a receiver, you know, over 100 yards in that game Sunday night. And and obviously Terry McLaurin, you knowin, with what he's shown you this year, those four guys, you can make a case, they're all top 24 receivers going into 2020. So could this really be right? In PPR, non-decimal scoring,

look at just one of our leagues. Derrick Henry scored 242 fantasy points. He is currently RB7 in PPR. The stats I gave you earlier were per game. This is full season. RB7. Go back to 2011. Marshawn Lynch had 1,200 yards, 12 touchdowns,

plus 212 receiving yards, 28 catches, one touchdown. Derrick Henry scored 242. Marshawn Lynch that year scored 243. I mean, again, you know, these are the things you sort of have to you know, what your mind is telling you of PPR, need a receiver out of the backfield, need

you know, 50 catches. I need Alvin Kamara. I need Saquon Barkley. I need those guys, even into the early part of round two. His comps are going to be Aaron Jones and Nick Chubb.

In what respect? Derek Henry's? Those are his peers of who you're drafting him around. Oh, who you're drafting around. They're not statistical comps. No, no, no. But in terms of where they're going to go drafting. Because I think it's still... Sorry, you said Aaron Jones and who? Nick Chubb. Nick Chubb's ahead

of him. I don't think so. You don't think so? I don't have it ranked that way. Oh, really? I know you do. I think you're the only one. Or maybe Dave. I'm writing it today. Look, if Kareem Hunt comes back, it'd be different, right? But if Hunt's not there, Hunt's a free agent now. You know, Chubb was, I think,

an easy pick to be ahead of Derek Henry and they're the two leading rushers in the NFL, but the catches were there for Nick Chubb before K I think, an easy pick to be ahead of Derrick Henry. And they're the two leading rushers in the NFL. But the catches were there for Nick Chubb before Kareem Hunt got there. He was on a nice 50-ish catch pace. That's more than 30 more. Right now I have, and again, for all of us, subject to change. Right now I have Henry 6, Chubb 7. Dave has Chubb 5, Henry 9. Heath has Henry 5, Chubb 7. Okay. Dave has Chubb 5, Henry 9.

Heath has Henry 5, Chubb 7. Ben has Chubb 6, Henry 9. And you have Chubb 5, Henry 9. So it seems as if Heath and I are the only ones taking Derek Henry over Nick Chubb as of now. And me, Dave, and Ben have Henry 9th? You all have it, I think, 5-9 or 6-9. That's funny. Yeah, look. The top five, I think, 5-9 or 6-9. That's funny. The top

five, I think, are going to be the same for everyone. In some order, right? Well, no. I guess Heath has Derek Henry above Alvin Kamara. In PPR, huh? In PPR. Everybody else has... Oh, no. So does Dave. Dave has Chubb over Kamara. That's interesting.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. That's interesting. Yeah. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to seeing it. I mean, he's obviously really good. You made a good point about him kind of getting beat up and the physical goal that he takes. It could be a concern. It could be a concern. You know, now it's two years of this grind of, you know,

hit after hit after hit. And those guys don't last very long. I don't think it's going to happen this year to the extent of the fall off the cliff here. But you just have to wonder about that. All right, last random observation. Passing yards per attempt leaders. You never really finished the Metcalf one, though. Oh, I owe you lunch.

Oh, well, what was this random? I owe you lunch. That's it. All right. Here are your passing yards per attempt leaders. Top five. Ryan Tannehill, 9.6 yards per attempt. That is one full yard ahead of Matthew Stafford.

That is an unbelievable number, 9.6 yards per attempt. No way is he doing that again. He probably won't even be 8.6 next year. So Stafford's number two at 8.6. Garoppolo is number three at 8.4. Mahomes 8.3. And then we have Dak Prescott and Jameis Winston tied for fifth at 8.2. Who stands out to you on that list?

Tannehill, Stafford, Garoppolo, Mahomes, Prescott, Winston. Stands out in terms of being surprised or stands out. Like,

yeah, you know, Mahomes is pretty good. Spin it with some fantasy analysis. Like what would you want to highlight there? I think Garoppolo can be a better fantasy quarterback than he showed this year. I don't know to what extent, but we were so excited about him going into 2018, and then he had the ACL tear, and then it was like,

okay, let's see what kind of quarterback he is coming back. And he's had certainly some highs and lows, more lows than highs from a fantasy perspective. But this shows you that there's been some unlucky performances. We go back to week one against Tampa Bay when he had the two touchdowns that were called back, I think, to George Kittle. He's had some unlucky games. I think it's just he doesn't throw enough. He's 19th in pass attempts in the NFL and third in yards per attempt. So I just,

that to me is an upside guy because the thing about the yards per attempt is that it's very consistent with San Francisco quarterbacks under Kyle Shanahan, Garoppolo in his five or six starts, and then all the crap we had last year and then Garoppolo this year. And that's what drew me to Garoppolo as the trendy guy that I liked in drafts. It didn't work out. I mean,

at the end of the year, when they got Emmanuel Sanders, he was on pace those 10 games. He was the number 13 quarterback on a per-game basis. He was on pace for under 4,300 yards with 32 touchdowns to 11 interceptions. So they obviously are a huge running team, and that stinks. But he is a guy, if things go differently. He does a great defensive team, too. Yeah, right.

If things go differently and he throws five more passes per game or something like that, he could be awesome. Because I don't think he's that good, to be honest with you. I think it's a system thing. It's a lot of yak. It's a lot of Debo. I don't think he's that good of a quarterback. Well, that was the case with Kittle in 2018, too.

Yeah, his yards per attempt is going to be really good. By the way, he led the NFL, Garoppolo, in touchdown passes inside the 10-yard line, which really surprised me. But they're one of the highest scoring teams. So I see some sleeper appeal there. Just, you know, he's got to throw more. Alright, Jamie, thank you for

your thoughts on my five random observations, which were very thought-provoking indeed. News and notes. Adam Gay spoke to Le'Veon Bell about his role for next season. Interesting stuff going on there. Did he speak to Bell or did he just speak to the media? No, he spoke to Bell apparently. Oh.

But this whole thing about the burner account, you're following all this stuff? I am. It's so weird. I am. Just look it up, people. AJ Green said he would like to return to Cincinnati.J. Green said he would like to return to Cincinnati. Austin Hooper said he'd like to return to Atlanta. Bruce Arian said Tampa Bay can win with a different quarterback.

Eli Manning might— Not exactly what he said. He said, yeah. He's like, if we can win with this one, we can win with another one. What a quote that is, by the way. Yes. That is worse than what I said. That's a negotiating point. I mean, you know, he's a free agent, so.

I guess so, but he's a straight shooter. That's the reason you've got to love Bruce. Yeah. Eli Manning might retire, but Phillip Rivers wants to keep playing. Anthony Costanzo, Colts left tackle, he might retire. Some playoff injuries of note. Kansas City safety Juan Thornhill towards ACL. Miles Sanders day-to-day with an ankle.

Brandon Brooks, a right guard, he's out for the season with a shoulder injury. Zach Ertz, I'm not really – well. They're hoping he's going to practice this week. I mean, this is a weird game because I think Philly is the better team right now. I know. But they're so beat up. They're so – I mean, Seattle's beat up too, but – I don't think – I don't know if Philadelphia's a better team.

They have played. If they were healthy, I think right now they're better. Yeah, yeah. They've played four of the five, four of the worst teams in the NFL, plus Dallas in their last five games. They've placed Giants twice, Redskins, Dolphins, and the Cowboys. The Cowboys game was a very impressive performance. The last two weeks, I watched pretty much all of the game

on Sunday against the Giants. Their defense really played well. Their secondary played very, and I was surprised because they're so beat up at cornerback now. When they're able to get to the quarterback, when they're able to rush the passer, I mean, it's the same for any team, but when you're able to rush the passer,

it's such a different dynamic for any secondary. Yeah, but it's weird. They've been a very Jekyll and Hyde defense. They're playing pretty well right now. They should have beaten Seattle the first time they met in Philadelphia. It was bad weather. It was a weird game. A lot of drops by Metcalf in that game, though. Wilson could have had a much better game.

Wentz as well. That's the story all year. Wentz right now, the last month, is playing out of his mind. He's playing pretty well. What did I see. He's playing pretty well. He is. What did I see? He's the first quarterback to do something.

It was so interesting, and I have no idea what it was. I showed a graphic during the game, the Week 17 game. Damn it. It was so impressive. I wish I had written it down. Well, it was great stuff. T.Y. Hilton played through a two-centimeter tear in his calf. Probably hurts.

Two centimeters? Nothing. Let's tear your calf. We'll just do one centimeter. We'll see how you do. Do whatever. Will Fuller has a chance to play this week. Dalvin Cook expected to play this week.

That's awesome. The Raiders re-signed left guard Richie Incognito. Two years, $14 million. And Michael Kendricks, linebacker for Seattle. He's out for the season with a torn ACL. Another big blow for them. Alright, let's do some 2020 revolutions and resolutions as well.

And we'll read some emails to finish the show. I will draft two quarterbacks in most of my fantasy leagues. That's my first resolution. You've talked about this a lot. It comes down, I think, to – because we have a lot of people that play in different leagues. If you only have a five-man bench, it's hard to do. Not for me.

I'm going to do it. Yeah? Yeah. You know what I'd like to do? I tried to do this this morning. I ran out of time. I'd like to go back. Let's do it right now.

Give me one of our 12-team leagues. Pick your favorite. Do the magazine league. You want that one, right? I Give me one of our 12 team leagues. Pick your favorite. Do the magazine league. You won that one, right? I won that one, sure. Thank you for picking that one. Let's look at the draft results. We did this in June, granted. That's why I wasn't going to pick this one. I just want to see the last three or four rounds.

Let's go round 11. Deion Lewis, Tom Brady, non-quarterbacks. Deion Lewis, Justice Hill, Bears, Nikhil Harry, Jalen Samuels, Kiki Cutie. I bet you're going to find one gem in there. Yeah, sure. Kiki Cutie, Darwin Thompson, Greg Zerline, James Washington, Jimmy Graham, Vance McDonald, Jordan Reed, Alexander Madison.

I wonder what team he ended up on in this league. Bruce Anderson, Anthony Miller. I wonder who took that. What I'm going to say is that. You have mostly. Bad players who get cut. And then the good players. Like Alexander Madison. And Anthony Miller.

Who you drafted. They end up on different teams. So. I think we kind of. That's why I'm happy to take two quarterbacks. But how. What's the size of the bench in this league? 15 rounds. So what is that?

Six. Six? Okay. Makes a difference. Okay. Five is pretty shallow. I think I'd probably still do it. The thing about that, though, is, to your point, is the talent pool of quarterback on the waiver wire is going to be more vast.

In our leagues, but not in most. No, in a five-man bench. I'm talking about. Oh, in a five-man. Yeah. So in a six-man bench, it's a little different. You can get away with carrying two quarterbacks because you still have,

you can carry two running backs, three running backs, two wide receivers, and then the quarterback. Most fantasy leagues aren't going to have people that take two tight ends. All right, give me a resolution. It's more of a league thing.

We've talked about this a lot. I want to change waivers to be on Wednesdays. Because of injuries. Yeah. I mean, it just logically makes more sense. I think one thing that bothers me that you can – there's a setting in our CBS leagues that you can change that you should put accelerated ad drops on.

If a guy gets dropped on Tuesday in some leagues, Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, he can't be added for a Thursday game. And we need to change that. There's just some obvious things. And again, in the commissioner product, you can do that on CBS. Every league should be decimal scoring at this point. Yeah, I think that's something we're going to change too. I don't want that. That's Heath. Yeah, he's the's something we're going to change too. I don't want that. That's Heath.

Yeah, he's the driving force behind that one. All right. I would like half my leagues to be Tuesday waivers and half Wednesday. I have right now two leagues that run Wednesdays. And you know so much more. It's a good point. It's a good point. You have so much more information.

So it just makes it so – logically, like I said like i said it just it just seems i change our podcast though i don't know why um well no if the industry is still tuesday yeah i guess because our leagues are different i'll give you a few more resolutions i will not listen to people who tell me i'm quote reaching for a player i seem to remember being told and i not saying by you by the way but in general that that i reached for mile sanders told you in this june draft i took him in the sixth round so i'm going to tell you something which i don't think we've ever talked about um i picked right before you in this league if i remember correctly how did you remember that because i took james white over mile sanders with the thought of and i when i picked it, I was like, why did I take James White? Not in PPR.

Not in PPR. I thought I was going to get both. Oh, okay. Yeah, and I took Sanders, right. Yeah, I don't really believe in reaching. The only time I think you're reaching is when you have some ADP data and you can get the guy with your next pick. And it's obvious that you can.

But if you like someone, go get them. I mean, you know how I feel about that yeah i'm always in that belief but um our drafts versus non-analyst drafts are so different because i know the guys you like you know the guys i like i know the guys dave likes dave does and those are the guys's like, so it almost as if we have to take these guys. Like I had to take Chris Godwin early because I liked him so much. Sorry. And other people were taking him. What a shame.

And the flip side of that, Curtis Samuel. I had to take him early because, you know, it's not let's say like, you know, I like this guy first and then somebody else does some more research and they like him as well. Dave liked Darren Waller a lot. And then so it was, oh, I'm going to take him two rounds before he probably should go. A, just to mess with Dave. And B, because we shared the same feelings on his upside. So those things I think come into play but uh in in for the people who are listening you know i think when you look at adp and you say you see mile sanders is around eight pick and you

want to take him in round six or you see devon singletary is around 10 pick and you want to take him around eight if you have conviction about somebody you absolutely should take him it's it's who cares what somebody else says well dalvin cook too was an example because people you know if you had taken him, if you had had like the sixth pick or something and you didn't think he'd be around

in the second round, you'd take him, you know, you believe in that and there's going to be guys in the first round, in the second round of ADP, if you think that they

could beat Dalvin Cook, just take him in the first round and we won't scoff at you. Well, we might, but, you know, I mean, that's the nature of what our job is.

Our job is to evaluate drafts, you know, so it's, you know, We might. I mean, that's the nature of what our job is. Our job is to evaluate drafts. So it's looking at where we have – I'm trying to think. Derrick Henry, good example. You have him ninth, which is going to put him in the second round. Heath has him fifth. That's going to be a first round pick. So Heath's going to say, well, there's no way you're getting him in the middle of the second round. But for you, that's the only spot you feel comfortable taking him.

By the way, I have Marvin Jones with one year left on his deal. Okay. That's what I said. 2021. How about that random thought? All right. I'll give you a few more New Year's resolutions. 2020 resolutions. I will not draft a D more New Year's resolutions. 2020 resolutions.

I will not draft a DST early. No way. Why would you? Every year, like, it's just... But who does? Of us, among us. I mean, we tell people, it's the same with quarterbacks. You know?

Yeah. You look at the... I mean... The last two years are the best example of it. Jacksonville's defense was historical in 2017. Yeah. They fell off the map in 2018. Right, right.

The Bears' defense was fantastic in 2018. They were a disaster in 2019.. Right, right. The Bears' defense was fantastic in 2018. They were a disaster in 2019. So there's no reason. Who's number one next year? I think the Niners, Ravens? Patriots? Yeah. I think people will look at the Patriots, though,

and realize that it was the competition. Because they are a really good defense, but they're not necessarily a playmaking defense. No, but in people's minds. Ben even said it on the show Sunday night when we were joking about... That was, I think, a joke. No, I'm saying it was a joke.

I think in people's minds... Look, the Patriots defense won a lot of people, got a lot of people into the playoffs. Yeah. Because you got some easy wins through the first eight weeks of the season. When I kept looking halfway through the year with the teams that were in first place, so many of them had Patriots DSL. Yeah.

But they really were extremely ordinary second half of the year. I mean, they just, in the biggest moment. Let's do this. In the biggest moment of the season for New England, the biggest moment of the season, they let Ryan Fitzpatrick in their building drive down the field and score a touchdown let's take a look when their game against the ravens was week nine so that's second half of the year their last eight games let's see where they ranked week nine

through week 17 my final 2020 resolution um i will this is actually an interesting one i will not if i may say so myself i will not overreact to the success of the 2019 rookie wide receivers uh none of them by the way were top 20 in ppr we just when your random thoughts was how good they were i mean that in relation to the 2020 rookie wide receivers because it still is rare for rookie wide receivers to have a big impact even though they were all so good this year. AJ Brown was number 14 in non-PPR, but number 23 in PPR. McLaurin was right around there.

He was 23rd-ish. Darius Slayton was low end number two. DK Metcalf was right there. He was 32nd. Deebo Samet was 35th. We had had four straight years, really, I think, of wide rookie by-receiver. Before you move on, think about where those guys were drafted in relation to the top

guys, how they finished. Nikhil Harry, Marquis Brown. Right. Exactly. The excitement level over those two, industry-wise. Yeah. Harry in particular.

It wasn't really his fault, but not injured. No, but there's not a track record of Patriots and young receivers doing well. Patriots DST 15th in our standard scoring in their last eight games. 15th. Yeah, I think the 49ers are going to be probably the one that I look at as the best. But you have the ravens defense i think can add a couple pieces and still be really good as what we saw from their secondary and now they sign marcus peters to a three-year extension um the bears defense i know you know

mentioned that they're not the same but they're still going to be really good yeah they're pretty banged up this year wise yeah um i mean Patriots, obviously, are still going to be in that group. Trying to think of who else. Rams. If there is one. We'll see. I mean, Wade Phillips may be gone. What's up with that?

He's not the problem. No, but he's getting up in age, and I'm sure he probably wants to do some other things in life. I think he wants to stay with the Rams. But they didn't fire him. I'll tell you what. The Browns coach, if Miles Garrett suspension does not linger,

you know, that's another one that started to play really well. Yeah. The Steelers still, I mean, that defense was great. Yeah, what's wrong with me? I've been saying for weeks the Steelers have the best defense in football. So, maybe it's them. They're really good, but you gotta have that edge rusher for sure. Alright, let's read some emails.

FantasyFootball at CBSi.com. Adam in Chicago. 12 team, half PPR, keeper league. He's got the 6th pick, keep 2, and their corresponding draft pick. All of them can be kept for one additional year except for Devontae Adams. So we've got Adams in the

2nd. It's half PPR and you're picking 2. Adams in the 2nd, Robert Woods in the 3rd, Miles Sanders in the 4th, two adams in the second robert woods in the third miles sanders in the fourth michael gallup in the ninth russell wilson 13th round mostert last pick hunter henry last pick mccall hardman last pick golden tate last pick all right so let's eliminate golden tate and hardman that's probably not gonna take russell wilson in the 13th round. I don't know. I won't eliminate him.

I don't think you can take Devontae Adams in the second round. I don't know. Not getting any value there. You can get him, right. All right, so I don't think you should take Robert Woods in the third round either. No. All right, we got Miles Sanders in the fourth. Michael Gallup in the ninth.

Wilson in the 13th. Mostert and Hunter Henry last pick. You're keeping two? Yeah. Based on value, I might go Gallup and Henry. I can't pass up Miles Sanders in the fourth round. And you can keep him for another year. At the fourth round value?

I don't know He's a second round pick next year For me, he might be a first round pick He won't be a first round pick There's no chance he's a first round pick I don't necessarily agree with that You have him ranked 10th at the position There's not 10 running backs

Miles Sanders? You have him ranked 10th Nuh-uh You have him ranked 7th Yeah, I think that's a top 12 pick. I don't think so. There's only one wide receiver that I can tell you right now that I'm definitely taking gold.

You're taking PPR Miles Sanders over DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah. Did you see how bad of a year DeAndre Hopkins had? Did you? This is a bad year. Yeah. I mean, that's a funny thing. Let's do this right now actually because I'm kind of curious. DeAndre Hopkins. Compared to what he usually does, DeAndre Hopkins scored 263 fantasy points.

Where would he have ranked last year with that wide receiver? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. That's amazing. He was the number three wide receiver in fantasy and PPR. He scored like 70 fewer points than he did last year. I think he'll be better. But the thing about Hopkins is he averages about eight targets per game with Will Fuller this year. Pretty interesting.

I love Miles Sanders. This is what I'm talking about when I don't want people to – I'm not worried about people telling me I'm reaching. I think Miles Sanders has number one running back in fantasy. Okay, so I can see if you're picking in the 10 through 12 range. Yeah, that's where I think he will be for some people. Just you. I think he'll be for some people. Just you. I think he'll be a mid-second round pick. I don't even rank him in my top 10.

Yeah, you're too low on him. Your top 10 running backs, you're too low. He's the man. He is the man. You see what he's been doing lately? He's the man. Really good. Oh, my gosh.

He's amazing. He's in my top 12, but not in my top 10. Yeah, and I love Miles Sanders. This is how I felt about Jeremy Hill going into his second year. We all know what happened there. All right, next. So, okay, you're keeping Gallup and Henry? I'll keep Sanders and Henry.

Thank you. Make it easy for you. I'll keep Sanders and Gallup. Gallup in the ninth round. He's very good. Second email is from Jay, a.k.a. Mr. Waverwire. Looking ahead to next season, we can keep only one player and only for one year. It has to be somebody after the third round.

If you pick them up off waivers, they are your sixth round pick. Why do we always want to say ravers instead of waivers? Do we or did I just do that? You did. I do it too. Ravers? Yeah. We're exciting too. Ravers? Yeah.

I guess we're exciting people. We're like Scooby-Doo. Full PPR. All right. So who do you like? Aaron Jones in the fourth. Yes. Cortland Sutton in the sixth.

You're not going to go with Aaron Jones, I don't think. Devontae Parker in the sixth. DJ Moore in the ninth. Winston in the 13th or Darren Waller in in the 15th only keep one yeah joe aaron jones in the fourth courtland sutton and davante parker in the sixth dj more in the ninth dj more jamis in the 13th and waller in the 15th dj more do you think that cam newton hurts dj more no you don't think so no okay i don't think so? No. Okay. I don't think that DJ Moore is only good because of Kyle Allen. No. But we don't know what Cam's

tendencies are. We don't know if he'd be more of a Curtis Samuel guy. How can you not be a DJ Moore guy if you're any guy? It might just be... The funny thing is, Curtis Samuel is supposed to be the downfield guy, right? More of a downfield guy than DJ Moore.

That's Cam's strength. They might just throw for fewer yards with Cam Newton. They might. You know? If Cam's the guy there. If Cam's the guy, yeah. All right. Good show, Jamie.

That's all the emails we got? That's it. I responded to some. Didn't read them on the air. But, yeah, it was a good time To get your keeper questions Or any questions Send them in Fantasyfootballatcbsi.com You want to change

Any of your top 10 running backs Before I publish it today? You remember the list? Yeah go ahead You got Miles Sanders 1 McCaffrey 1 Barkley 2

Elliott 3 Dalvin Cook 4 Nick Chubb 5 Kamara 6 Sure you want Chubb over Kamara on PBR? No, I don't. I want Kamara, five.
