Now streaming. Everyone who comes into this clinic is a mystery. We don't know what we're looking for. Their bodies are the scene of the crime. Their symptoms in history are clues. You saved her life. We're doctors and with detectives. I kinda love it if I'm being honest.

Solve the puzzle, save the patient. Watson, all episodes, Now streaming on Paramount Plus. What's up and welcome to fantasy football today, presented by BetMGM, the sports book Born in Vegas. Hopefully last year you drafted Brian Thomas Jr. and Bucky Irving and Ladd McConkey and Brock Bowers. Those are all late-round rookies, and they were league winners. for you. But guess what? League winners are not just late-round picks. You could argue Sequin Barclay was the MVP of fantasy, and he was a first-round pick. So who are the players

that are going to win you your league this year? Who are some good league winners? I've got two right here. L.O.L. Jamie Eisenberg and Heath Cummings, what an intro. Hey, Jamie. Quick question before we get into the league winners, I mentioned Lab O'Conkie. But did you move him down after the Chargers signed 33-year-old Keenan Allen? I did, Adam. Just a few spots. So he was wide receiver 13 for me. Now he's wide receiver 16. He was an early third round pick. Now he's a mid third round pick. I just put him behind guys like Devante Adams, Jackson Smith, Najigba and Garrett Wilson. You have to be a little bit concerned because of another mouth defeated in an offense that is still going to be predominantly run heavy. McConkey was

awesome to close the season last year, averaging over 20 ppr points per game in his last eight outings. But you also have to factor in that Keenan Allen has a strong history with Justin Herbert. He could be the primary slot receiver, which might be a problem for McConkey, and Greg Roman's track record does not suggest that two wide receivers can finish in the top 20. So I think Keenan Allen's going to be a little bit of a problem for all the receivers there, a slight downgrade for McConkey, an obvious downgrade for Trey Harris, Quentin Johnston, and Lambert Smith, and we'll see if Keenan Allen at 33 still has something left to offer. Heath, I was going to ask you the question. You know, I think I have a better question for you.

let's revisit my quentin johnston for your isaiah likely in dynasty what do you think let's let's do these trade i did like that offer when you first made it both players have been downgraded now and so i still don't like that offer i think i'm the old isaiah likely until he flashes again i will say i didn't move mcconkey i did downgrade his projection but i had such a big gap from wide receiver 13 to wide receiver 14 i've been fighting with myself all summer not being able to find anybody i want to rank at wide receiver 14 so i still left lad at wide receiver 13 did bury all the rest of the guys listen guys fantasy football is about trash talk right so i you know i haven't done this yet just wanted to just wanted to show off some of my bling talking about league

winners here look at that look at that this is no one way to celebrate anyway i think it's also it's no i was going to say it's a great idea a to put the put the trophy in front of your microphone I want somebody to hear you. Yeah. The necklace there, whatever you got. Trovee Smack, unbelievable company that gives us these things. I have two of those myself. They do a great job.

If you ever want to celebrate your league winners, you can get the stuff from Trophy Smack, the products that they offer. Second of all, I highly encourage you to check out Adam Azer on X when he posted the picture of him wearing said belt, necklace, whatever. It looks like he's about to fall over. Is that what? I didn't know what was so funny about that picture. We'll bring it up later.

I'll set it to the producers. Heath, why don't we get into your league winning quarterbacks here? So you each gave me one early round pick and one guy who's going 10 or later, round 10 or later, about that anyway. So you've got Jaden Daniels who averaged 32 and a half fantasy points per game, I think in his last eight games, including the playoffs.

It's insane. And you have Justin Fields as well. Take it away, sir. Yes, this is my QB1. and he's almost never drafted as the QB1. And as we see ADP start to reflect more home league drafts, more normal people drafting, not just us. We're going to see Josh Allen and the Marge action both move up towards round two

and move into round two. I think you'll still see Jaden Daniels in round three. This is a guy who, as a rookie, 3,500 yards passing, 800 yards rushing almost 900. And that doesn't tell the full story yet. I'm on with Adam Azer. So let's Azer stat it. just a little bit. He had one game in the middle of the year where he played fewer than

10 snaps. In week 18, he left early because the commanders didn't have anything to play for. And so if you just look at those 15 games that he played a full game, it's almost 4,000 yards passing for a guy who could run for 900 yards and produce 35 touchdowns, this is the guy who I think will be the number one quarterback this year and you get him at a discount. What about McLoran, though? Terry McCoran is currently a small concern. If we get to mid-August, it becomes a bigger concern. If we get to late August, maybe I'll start freaking out a little bit.

But I honestly still believe, like, as with most of these situations, not always, but as with most of these situations, this will be resolved, and he will be a commander. Justin Fields is the other guy you mentioned. Jamie's going to talk about a late-round guy, Drake May. but Justin Fields you don't really you'll take him in the late rounds that's where his ADP is going you don't consider him a late round guy right

I'd take him in round eight for sure I'd take him in round seven if I had to but you don't another guy who could run for 800 yards could challenge double-digit rushing touchdowns we haven't seen that from his career but you'll probably get six at least I know there's been some bad reports and some training camp stats from the last week

about Justin Fields as a passer but if you look at when he's played in actual real NFL games, the interception rate has improved every year of his career. The completion percentage has improved every year of his career. Passer rating as well. Even his sack rating has gone down each of the last three seasons. He has become a better quarterback. And if he's even an average NFL passer paired with his former teammate, Garrett Wilson,

this is a guy who's rushing could make him a top five quarterback. Okay. So before we get to Jamie, I'll give you guys a little trivia here. It's on the topic of Jaden Daniels. Jaden Daniels was number two in the NFL among quarterbacks in fantasy points scored per game based on just yards. Who is number one?

Lamar Jackson. Now, who is number three? Joe Burrow. No. Just Yards. Burrow was fourth. Josh Allen Fifth

Just yards Justin Fields No I didn't I don't know if he even qualified actually I guess I could have looked at that But I don't think it would have been I don't know Baker Mayfield

It's a little surprising Baker Oh yeah Pretty impressive All right James let's look at the two guys You gave Joe Burrow Did you know he was number four Among quarterbacks

And fantasy points per game on yards alone I heard that. That's great. Amazing. Go ahead, sir. I feel like, you know, Burrow, not that he's being treated as an afterthought, you know, some people call him a sleeper. But in the case of, you know, when you talk about the top three quarterbacks, he doesn't ever get mentioned.

And last year he was number two in points per game and is coming off an amazing season. You like to reference the stats all the time about what he does when Jamar Chase and T. Higgins are both healthy. And he's basically a 5,000-yard passer has the ability to be a 5,000-yard passer. And I think he's the most likely guy to get there if we are talking about passing yards leader. So you look at the receiving core, you look at the defense that is once again most likely going to struggle. I think they're going to have to be one of the most prolific offensive teams,

which they would be anyway even with a good defense. But they're going to have to be to win games and be competitive. So Joe Burrow might be one of the best bargains at any position because you're getting him in some cases a round or two later than Lamar Jackson, who is going to hopefully be better based on what we saw last year and was better than Burrow last year. But when you compare him to Josh Allen and now Jane Daniels, you might be getting the better quarterback at a discounted price. And in some cases, he goes after Jalen Hertz as well. So I love the value for Joe Burrow any time he falls into late round four. I certainly get him around five.

I took him in round six or seven, I believe it was, in a best ball draft the other night. That's four points for passing touchdown. So that changes some things a little bit. And if you want, and by the way, this is something that Adam Major is going to do. He's going to grade all of your drafts. You can reach out to him at 9-5-4-4. No, but Adam will grade all of your drafts. If you have Joe Burrow on your team,

he will personally get you a trophy smack trophy belt and give it to you because he loves Joe Burrow that much. I don't think I've said this this year yet, but Joe Burrow is actually number two in my quarterback projections in terms of fantasy points. So I agree with Jamie completely on this. I rank Omar Jackson and Josh Allen higher because I think the odds of them having a 30 fantasy point per game season,

are considerably higher than Joe Burrow. But if you're asking me who's going to score 26 this year, I think I'd dig Burrow. That's sort of what I meant when I was joking, somewhat jokingly calling him a sleeper. So the last two of the last three years... Oh, that was you? Yeah, she's with Mar Chase and T. Higgins healthy.

We're talking 29.1 points per game and 28.2 points per game and 6 points per passing touchdown leagues. All right, let's get to your next guy. It's Drake May. Obviously, a harder sell. you know, and a little bit different than Fields. I would also take Fields as more of a league winner over Drake May. But the concept is somewhat the same.

The theory is somewhat the same is that he's going to do a lot of things with his legs, at least that's the expectation. And so last year you take the 10 healthy games, we're going to azer stat this one. You take the 10 healthy games. He was on pace for 630 rushing yards, 10 healthy games that he played, which would have been third among quarterbacks behind Lamar Jackson and Jane Daniels.

Now, I don't think he's going to be a 600-yard rusher. I'm hoping for 500-plus. What we did see with Josh McDaniels, the offense coordinator for the Patriots, he had Cam Newton, who's a much different running quarterback than obviously Drake May, but he had a lot of run concept designs, a lot of first option runs, not just running while scrambling. But while that's a big part of his game, I think the additions in the receiving court are huge. So you bring in Stefan Diggs, you're bringing Kyle Williams, you bring in Trevion Henderson, and then you obviously add Josh

McDaniel. So the system should be better, the weapon should be better. A guy is going to take a leap in year two. I don't think he has the ceiling to be a top five guy, but top eight is certainly on the table if things go right again it's a big ask but the value is amazing if you don't like drake may as your only quarterback you compare him with a number of guys justin herbert brock purdy Jared golf whatever the range of quarterbacks you're looking at easy to take a second quarterback with drake may we did a draft last night adam and i did to benefit st jude and i took drake may in round 13 i believe or no i'm sorry round 11 as my only quarterback and we noted a lot of guys that were available on waivers so you have to know your league and if

everybody's going to take two quarterbacks but as a one quarterback option I think there's top 10 potential, and again, maybe a little bit higher. I think I'm the low guy on Drake May. Definitely at CBS. I'm not sure about the industry because I've been more skeptical of the receiving core, but some of those questions are getting answered for me in training camp. I'm going to move him up to QV-19, which will still keep me as the low guy on Drake May. The thing that I am worried about is repeating the rushing production from last year.

He's a good running quarterback, but he averaged an absolutely insane. I believe it was 7.8 yards per rush attempt, which quarterbacks just do not repeat. And I think with Josh McDaniel's offense, while he does have that Cam Newton experience, which he'd probably like to have those couple of years back of his life, most of the time that Josh McDaniels has been calling plays, it's get the ball out quick, make the right read. If it's not there, throw it to the running back. And that's what it sounds like they're coaching Drake May to do.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see both fewer rush attempts for May and a lower average. Okay. well, before you look at this picture or while you look at it, just I want everyone, I swear, I have more than one t-shirt. But we're going to take a break with this there he is.

It is probably my favorite shirt. I just let it know, it pops. But we'll get some running back league winners when we come back on fantasy football today. Let me tell you if there's a surefire way to wake up feeling fresh after drinks with friends, it is with pre-alcohol. Zbiotics, pre-alcohol, probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.

It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration. that's the blame for those rough days after drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow.

I first gave Z-biotics a try at my brother's wedding last weekend. I had a big night ahead, dinner, dancing, drinks, and a best man speech. So a little extra on the drinking front. But I did have a Z-biotics before it all started. Honestly, I was a little bit skeptical. but the next morning, we were up and out the door for an 8.30 tea time. Me and my brother, no problem. It was crazy.

I felt sharp and ready for the day. Now it's something I reach for. Whenever I know the night might be going long, it's bioengineered to help you feel your best the next day. Have a pre-alcohol before your next big night. You'll be glad you did. Summer is here, which means more opportunities to celebrate the warm weather. Before that backyard barbecue brew, glass of pino,

watching the sunset at the beach, Or cocktail by the camfire, don't forget your Zbiotics pre-alcohol. Drink one before drinking and wake up feeling great and ready to take on the next day.

League winning running backs from 2024, Sequin Barclay, Jamir Gibbs, Bucky Irving, Chase Brown. There are others. Let's talk about 2025, though. Who are going to be those guys that send you to a fantasy championship? Heath and Jamie have some names. Here is Heath's list of league winning. running backs. Devon A. Chan, he's going at the two-three turn right now. Kyron Williams, I'm sorry, at the one-two-turn.

Kyron Williams is probably going at about the two-three turn. DeAndre Swift, round five, six, maybe, and Trayvion Henderson, not long after DeAndre Swift. Heath, take us through your list. Yeah, a couple of these probably seem pretty obvious. I don't know how A. Chan falls to round two in any drafts. He was over 20 fantasy points per game as a rookie in nine full games. last year, almost 23 fantasy points per game when Tuotanga Vaila was healthy. He is my favorite to lead running backs in targets, receptions, and receiving yards this

year. He was outstanding in that regard last year. Now Jonu Smith's gone. Now they're talking about how he's to even improve more in the passing game. This is one of the few running backs that if their team gets worse, he may actually get better for fantasy football purposes. Kyron Williams, over 21 touches each of the past two seasons. seasons. I don't think Jarquez Hunter changes that. They just gave him a new deal. Obviously,

they like him. Expect double-digit touchdowns. He should be an easy round two-click. DeAndre Swift, I've talked about all summer. The lead back in a Ben Johnson offense was R.B. 15 per game the last time he was paired up with Ben Johnson, much improved offensive line and kind of a struggling pass game right now. So maybe they run it a little more than they planned on. And then Trevion Henderson was my second favorite running back in this draft class before the NFL draft. The guy in front of him, maybe beside him now, Romandre Stevenson has both a past protection problem and a fumbling problem. Trevion Anderson doesn't do either one of those things. What he does do is he makes everybody who goes to Patriots training camp say, wow,

their offense looks different when the ball is in Trevion Henderson's hands. Yeah, Trevion Henderson, super exciting player. Let me just focus on DeAndre Swift for a second here, Jamie. You said on our running backs preview show that you thought he might be top five. at the position in receptions. I challenged you on that, but I want to give you a stat that surprised me a little bit. He had the fourth most routes run among running backs last year. Part of that is staying healthy, but also it's just, it's a really impressive number. He didn't have a high enough target per route run rate, but that should give people hope.

I mean, he was running a ton of routes last year, and no reason to think it won't be the same situation. The guys ahead of him were Devon A. Chan, Bajon Robinson. and Breece Hall. And then number four was DeAndre Swift. Number five was Kairn Williams. Kyrin Williams, another guy in he's listed, I think has a potential for a lot more catches. He's on the field all the time. Just needs some more targets. But Jamie, I think it's easy to make the case for A. Chan and Kiron. And I would say even Henderson, because he's so exciting. It does, do you think DeAndre Swift has that type of upside, that league winning

upside? Absolutely. You know, especially at his cost. And I think that's a big part of this, is that you're getting, I don't know if he's going to be a top five running back, but I think top 10 is within the realm of possibilities because, look, we are trying to attach a lot of the Detroit offense to the Chicago offense because of Ben Johnson. And right now we're seeing the path of maybe Swift becoming Jamir Gibbs. We don't necessarily have an easy target for who's going to be the David Montgomery. So Swift does find a way to get more touchdowns. We know he struggled at the goal line, and that's sort of been a knock against him his entire career.

if he could find a way to maybe get 10 plus rushing touchdowns or at least somewhere to 10 to 12 total touchdowns. I think there's 1,500 total yards on his resume and north of probably 60 or maybe even 70 catches if this offense works in his favor, which right now it seems like the MO is Caleb Williams get the ball out of your hands behind a better offensive line with a better system.

So the guys behind him right now stink. The opportunity is fantastic. He's been very, I think, sort of underrated in terms of his performances. As you've noted time and time again, he's always been a top 24 running back, sort of hovering around that 24 number. But as Heath alluded to, last time he's with Ben Johnson, could be the number 15 running back. And again, a few things break his way, maybe cracks the top 10.

So absolutely league winning upside. And a lot of people just want to pass over him. Understandably so. But I think Heath is targeting him very aggressively. I'm going to target him not as aggressively, but I like to get a lot of shares of D'Andre Swift. I think he's going to be one of the better fantasy assets that you got, especially as a number two running back. Do you guys prefer Swift or Henderson? Heath and Jamie.

swift for now okay all right let's take a look at jamie's list of potential league winners at the running back position christian mcalfrey a round one pick chase brown 27th overall an average draft position on fantasy pros and full ppr omari and hampton we might see this adp rise he's currently a round four pick and rj harvey is a round six pick so you got mcalfrey brown hampton and harvey don't you spend a lot of time on mcalfrey clearly the the situation is If he's healthy, he's going to be in the mix for the top three, maybe not just at running back, but overall. Last time we saw him over 23 PPR points per game, we know what he can be in the San Francisco

offense. Last year was a disaster with the four-miss games. So if he stays healthy, he's going to be one of the better values that you get in the back end of round one, depending on where his average draft position settles. You mentioned it, Chase Brown, 27th overall on the fantasy pros, ADP. I like him as almost a mid-round two pick. So once you get past Josh Jacobs, I think he's in that conversation with Jonathan Taylor and Bucky Irving and Kairn Williams.

There's just so much to love about the way that Chase Brown finished last year, and you've already heard coaches on the Bengal staff saying that he's going to be a household name. So, yes, they have some Aj P. Rinton, maybe steal some passing down work, and maybe Taj Brooks will be an option that they used to supplement some of Chase Brown's workload last year, which was impressive down the stretch once Zach Moss got injured. Well, Moss is already off the team. I think Chase Brown's going to be the guy, and as we talk about a lot, this Bengals offense could be the best in the NFL.

so I want to get pieces of that offense, and I will take Chase Brown, certainly back into round two if he's there at 27th overall. That's an easy selection. Amarian Hampton's got this weird situation going on with his teammate with Najee Harris. We do not know when Harris is going to return, still dealing with this eye injury that he suffered on the 4th of July, walking around the practice field, not even running yet. So it's going to seemingly take some time for Najee Harris to get back on the field

and get in football shape, and that's just making things great for Hampton, who's going to be on an offense, I think, going to be heavy running the ball. We saw last year J.K. Dobbins was fantastic when he was featured for the chargers. And I think Hampton has a prospect right now better than what Dobbins was last year. So immense upside for him. Passing down work will be a problem. Just reception totals will be a problem. But if he can get somewhere above 30 receptions, I think that'll be great for him. Then RJ Harvey's probably going to take a J.K. Dobbins injury to happen. Oh, by the way,

that happens almost all the time, unfortunately for Dobbins. But last year missed four games, we know he's had a hard time staying on the field. I think Harvey playing for Sean Payton, even with Dobbins on the field, he'll still be productive. But if there ever were a situation where he's the only running back there, or at least a featured running back, potential workhorse. He could be one of the better past catching running backs. Remember, Giovante Williams had 50 catches last year for this Broncos offense. And Harvey could be more explosive based on what we saw from Williams last year. So there's a lot of upside for RJ Harvey behind almost everybody we've mentioned.

You know, the four guys that he'd said, Harvey should go behind those guys as well, behind Trevion Henderson, behind Omarian Hampton as rookie running backs. But again, the upside is just immense. And I think, Adam, you'd probably agree with this. If they never signed J.K. Dobbins, we may have been talking about RJ Harvey's a third-round pick right now based on all the expectations for him following the NFL draft yeah some people might have taken him seventh overall in a dynasty in a dynasty rookie that's not bad though stop bringing that up it was just disappointing uh heath what is your hesitation with omari and hampton you don't

seem to be staying at the hampton in like dave and jamie are i i think jamie hit on it and it's just the history of gregg roman's offenses are generally low pass volume and low target percentage for the running backs. The fact that they just added Keenan Allen already had Ladd McConkey, they're going to throw a little bit to the tight ends, probably more than they should based on who the tight ends currently are. I just don't know that he gets to the 30 receptions. And then I haven't gotten to the point yet where I've just ruled out Najee Harris having a role early in the season, maybe all season, as the type of running back who's very good in

past protection and doesn't fumble. The opposite of Remandre Stevenson, The longer we go, though, without Harris really doing anything football-related, the more I'll move Hampton up and Harris down. I just don't want to go too far too early and then have to switch it up again. Man, Greg Roman, I think it's 11 seasons as a coordinator. Surprisingly, only one running back has finished higher than 10th per game. Was that Mark, Ingram? No, I'm sorry, it was Sean McCoy.

Ingram was 10th per game in 2019 with Baltimore. you had Ingram at 10 you had McCoy at 12th per game in full PPR you had McCoy at fourth per game and those are the only three that I see that finished higher than 17th per game

which is really amazing because you know back in the day it was like Frank Gore 17 catches 28 catches 16 catches 11 catches in full seasons I think we expect more than that from Hampton

Hampton good pass catching profile coming into the NFL however it's a good point you make I mean there's not That history is not very encouraging for Greg Roman. It's also, though, to be fair, a lot of Roman's history has been with running quarterbacks, and Justin Herbert is not necessarily a running quarterback. Absolutely, and J.K. Dobbins had 32 catches and 13 games last year on pace for 42 catches.

He was RB 18 per game last year for the Chargers. All right, so those are some running backs that could be league winners for you. You can get in different spots in your drafts. We'll talk about wide receivers when we come back. Travis Hunter is a fascinating player. First of all, if you can get IDP points, you might be the second round pick. But even if you can't,

Travis Hunter might be one of those league-winning wide receivers. Who else makes the cut? We'll tell you after this. The new BMO, V.I. Porter MasterCard, is your ticket to more. More perks. More points. More flights.

more of all the things you want in a travel rewards card and then some get your ticket to more with the new bemo v i porter master card and get up to $2,400 in value in your first 13 months terms and conditions apply visit bemo.com slash the i porter to learn more let's talk about league winning wide Receivers, you don't want the boring guys, the ones that get you 12 PPR points per game, the Khalil Shakirs. He might want them late enough in your draft. But right now we want guys that are going to smash their ADP, win you your league. Who are those special someone's at the wide receiver position?

Here are four names from Heath and four names from Jamie. Heath has Drake London, Jerry Judy, Travis Hunter, and Tederoa McMillan. And three of these guys, Judy Hunter and McMillan, going in the same. range in drafts London a solid second round pick heath tell us about your list yeah i think when we talk about like the top seven or eight wide receivers you pretty much always hear the same name drake london's names is usually not a part of that which means it's not early second round sometimes it's mid second round when his name goes off the board he had 293 yards receiving in his last two games of michael pinnicks last year if michael pinnix is a good NFL quarterback and darnell mooney's not

100% healthy. Drake London has a chance to be a top five wide receiver or better in the NFL. He needs somebody that can get him the ball down the field and then also somebody who can get him the ball in the end zone. But I certainly think that's a possibility. Jerry Judy was a top five wide receiver with James Winston last year. Now he basically has the other version of James Winston, Joe Flacco, who looks like he's going to be a starting quarterback. Joe Flacco is thrown for 4,700 yards and 32 touchdowns in his last 17 NFL starts. Don't yell at me. I know he's not a good winning NFL quarterback, but he's a great fantasy quarterback, at least for his wide receivers. Travis Hunter and Tederoa McMillan, the best two wide receivers in this rookie class.

I know it wasn't a great wide receiver class and certainly maybe not a deep wide receiver class, but I think these two guys could be really special right away. Hunter has the target competition in Brian Thomas, but we're talking about probably the best player in college football last year, maybe the best football player on the Jacksonville Jaguars right now, and maybe somebody we're talking about as one of the best players in the NFL in the future. Every single day, no matter what position he's playing, he's making spectacular plays. His head coach recently said he'd like to see him play 80% of the snaps on offense. I've got him right now at wide receiver 24, and that's basically with 75% of the snaps. If he's at 80% and exceeds my touchdown

projection, the sky is absolutely the limit. And then McMillan just earning all of the targets in Carolina and apparently catching all of them as well. We've seen, Price Young focus in on one target and Adam Thielen. Now, that was a low efficiency target. What if he throws the ball 140 times to a guy like McMillan who can also go down the field and make big plays? He could be a huge surprise as of a few. So first of all, before I throw it to Jamie, Heath,

how do you rank those last three on your list? Is it in order, Judy Hunter, McMillan? It is currently Judy Hunter McMillan, but I'm like three more Travis Hunter highlights away from just moving him into the top 20. And Jamie, how do you rank those three? I haven't McMillan Judy Hunter right now. I do think that Hunter is so polarizing,

and it's going to be fun to see how this all plays out. You know, I wonder if, you know, he said he's making players all over the field. I wonder just at some point if he's tired in a game or he starts as the season moves on to show that he's maybe better defensively than offensively, and they need him more over there. you have to factor that in, you know, just in case he's not able to play 80% of the offensive snaps and 80% of the defensive snaps.

And so it's a little bit concerning. You know, you've already heard a lot of current players say, it's impossible for him to play both. And you've heard Travis Kelsey say, well, if I'm playing against him off his, I'm going to run him down the field all the time, just get him tired. And Devante Adams came out recently and said, it's impossible for him to do this. So clearly there's a reason why no one has done it before. So we're going to see how this all plays itself out. So I would prefer to draft him as more of a high-end number three fantasy receiver as more than compared to a starter.

I feel like in case of McMillan, he's just somebody that continues to rise in my rankings. And I think after I'm done today, I already moved him this morning to 26, I believe it is. He's going to move into the top 24. Like there's just so much upside for this kid. And every draft we do, it seems like we're behind consensus for where we are at CBS. Everybody else seems to be drafting him as a top 20 guy.

Like the upside could be just amazing for him. Okay. Jamie, let's take a look at your list here. You've got Tyreek Hill, Garrett Wilson, Jackson, Smith, and Jigba. All three of those guys could be drafted in the third round. And James and Williams, more like a fifth round pick. So, yeah, explain your list and why you have these four. Yeah, Tyree Kill is sort of low-hanging fruit.

I mean, obviously, we saw what he was two years ago in terms of his production, each of the first two years with the Dolphins. And then last year, everything just fell apart. He had the wrist injury, two of them, six games. The offensive scheme change where they were trying to get the ball out quick, which I don't think benefited him in terms of the routes that he runs and how he gets his production. The fact that he came into camp this year, more dedicated to the team after everything that he said at the end of the season last year, lost some weight.

The loss of Jonu Smith, I think, will help both receivers in terms of Tyreek Hill and Jalen Wattle. So if Tyreek is right, and I know he's getting to that age where he got to be a little bit concerned, you know, now he's 31. I still think there's one more potentially great season for him. So he's talked again about chasing 2,000 yards. I don't think that's realistic, but can he be north of 1,500 yards? Can he get back to 10 plus touchdowns? Can he obviously be 100 yard, a 100 catch guy?

I think that's within the realm of possibility. So I would actually take him in round two. Love getting him in round three. In the case of the other two receivers, J.S.N. and Garrett Wilson, JSM we saw last year. You know, two games without D.K. Metcalf on the field. He was amazing from that point forward. It was like middle of the year.

He finished the season on such a high note. They bring in Cooper Cup. They obviously change coordinators, change quarterback, a lot of things, moving parts there. But by all accounts, JSN is having a great camp and making plays. in the slot and on the outside, which I think matters because he's going to move around a little bit more so than he did last year when he was primary the slot receiver. So lots of love about his situation. Heath alluded to this earlier when he's talking about Justin Fields. The Justin Fields Garrett Wilson relationship will hopefully carry over from college at Ohio State to the NFL and Wilson's obviously had disappointing quarterback play the majority of his career. I don't know if Justin Fields is the exact guy to elevate him to the status that maybe a lot of fantasy managers are expecting him to reach. But if you are looking at him as a potential top 10 guy and he's being drafted just outside that. range. There are so many target opportunities for him. And I know, Adam, you're going to say, well, he's had so many target opportunities each of the last two seasons, which is clearly the case. But as we saw last year, if Devante Adams never joined the Jets, we would be looking at

Garrett Wilson potentially as a top 10 wide receiver without question because the amount of targets that he got, the production that he was starting to show with Rogers right before Adams joined the team, it was starting to look a little bit elite. And I think he has a chance to get there. Obviously, for the case of Jameson Williams, there's a bigger ask. Can he get more targets? Can he get more receptions. The yards and the touchdown should be there for him because he's going to make some big plays. He's going to get some probably manufactured touches, whether it's jet screens, jet sweeps or bubble screens because I think the Detroit offense will still do that even without Ben Johnson there. But all you've heard all offseason, the drumbeat has been pretty consistent.

James' breakout coming. And so does that come at the expense of Mount Ross St. Brown? Does it come at the expense of Sam Laporta? We saw LaPorta's number trend down last year because Williams was finally looking like the first round talent he was expected to be, had the ACL tear, had the gambling situation, played a full season last year, and looked like a future star. It could finally come together this year, and you don't want to miss out on that.

Heath, any agreement, disagreement on Jamie's list of Tyreek, Garrett Wilson, J.S.N, James and Williams. Yeah, I pretty much agree that they could all be league winners. I have been a little bit more skeptical of Tyreek, not because I don't think he has the upside, because I worry about the floor and the vibes in Miami are not exactly great right now. It doesn't seem like this offensive group

or maybe even the coaching staff is all totally in agreement. And so I worry a little bit of that side of it. And with Garrett Wilson, I know I had Justin Fields as a league winner. The only thing really, I think that connection will be good and Fields will be better as a passer.

It's just that a lot of times when we've seen Garrett Wilson have high target totals, it's been on a team that's throwing the ball 550, 600 times. I just worry that Justin Field that is very best is leading an offense that's throwing 475 times, but no doubts at all about Garrett Wilson's talent. I totally agree with that. The 470 passes may all go to Garrett Wilson based on this receiving quarter.

You mentioned what he did with Aaron Rogers, but I think he was on pace for 200 targets with Aaron Rogers. He's had over 140 in all three of his seasons, and Garrett Wilson's never finished higher than wide receiver 19. I haven't pulled the trigger there on Wilson near the three-four turn. I certainly prefer JSN. So who do you like better there, JSN or Wilson?

JSN, but they're back to back for me. You know, I think, again, there's similar scenarios here, you know, in terms of maybe how they get the job done. But, you know, you are talking about guys that could easily be the best receivers on their team. There's questions about their quarterbacks because I don't think Donald does what he did last year

in Seattle after leaving Camden O'Connell's system. But again, you know, you look at path to success. They both lost guys on their own roster that would probably be roadblocks in terms of, you know, D.K. McCaff. being an impotent to what J.S.N. ceiling can get to and the same thing for Adams leaving the Jets. I think they're just going to get a lot of opportunities here. But I agree with you. I think JSN's just a little bit better place right now than Garrett Wilson because of where Wilson has been

and just hasn't been able to produce that level yet. I just hope that he has at, at worst, and I know that's asking a lot, but at worst, the DJ Moore season with Justin Fields is what we saw in 2023 when Fields finally had a receiver get elevated to, you know, near elite status. I hope Garrett Wilson does that this year, if not better. Better is going to be tough. That was an amazing season for DJ Moore. That would be great. That would be great for Garrett Wilson,

and we'd love to see the production match the talent. All right, when we come back, we'll talk about league-winning tight ends. Wait until you see this list. I mean, league-winning tight ends. This is a harder list, for sure. We'll be right back on fantasy football today. Now streaming

Solve the puzzle Save the patient Watson All episodes Now streaming On Paramount Plus Welcome back to fantasy football today. League winning tight ends.

Some league winning tight ends from last year, Brock Bowers, Trebek Bride, George Kittle. Let's see what we've got for you this year. The names provided are Brock Bowers, Traybik Bride, and George Kittle. Before we get into these, you know, fine, fine, let's get it. After we get to these, we'll talk about some other possibilities of league winning tight ends. but, you know, obviously they're going to have to be pretty great because Bowers is a second round pick.

McBride's going at the two-three turn. Kittle is kind of at the three-four turn. Jamie, do you think these guys will outperform their draft position? Talk about them as league winners. They're sort of being drafted to be that. I think they will. I mean, you know, you look at the situation for all of them. You know, Bowers, I was a little hesitant just based on the addition of Gentie

and maybe being a little bit more run-focused offense. I've since put Bowers ahead of McBride. I've kind of gone back and forth. all off season on these guys for a long time. I had McBride first. But obviously looking at what Bowers did in his rookie season, I think the quarterback upgrade and just the system upgrade, plus the opportunity to maybe just across the board score more points for the Raiders will help him. And the best part will be for both of these guys in terms of Bowers and McBride, can they find the end zone more? And if they do, and we're talking about eight plus touchdowns for both of them,

it's a bigger ass for McBride based on his track record. But obviously if they can get somewhere close to double digits and touchdowns, based on what they did last year, they're going to be in the 100-catch range. Like, that's just amazing for tight-end production. The fear for Bowers is we've seen two stand-out rookie tight ends in the last 10 years or so. Kyle Pitts had the 1,000-yard season and really fell off the following year, had a quarterback change, which I think is just something to note. But I think in the case of Pitts that year, the quarterback change was a downgrade.

This, I think, is an upgrade for Bowers. What we saw from Sam Leporta was obviously a lot of touchdowns. Well, Bowers isn't working on that same situation. Like, he's going to have the opportunity to maybe increase that total. as opposed to where La Porta was coming off just an amazing touchdown season, his rookie year, two years ago. McBride, I love the way that they finished last season just specifically for him, focusing on trying to get him in the end zone. Surprisingly enough, despite the fact that he didn't score, he was in the top three in red zone targets.

If he can ever find the end zone just more consistently, he's going to be an absolute monster. So I think almost he's the better bargain of the two top end guys. And then the situation in San Francisco is pretty clear right now. George Kittle was number one in terms of points per game last year in PPR. You have Brandon Ayuk on the Pup list. You have John Jennings dealing with a calf injury. And Ricky Piersall has yet to prove he can stay healthy. Forget about everything that happened with the gunshot wound.

He had an injury situation last year and a hamstring injury already this year. So Kittle may be just the best bet of any of these three guys based on where he's going. I never brought this up with you, Heath. But you were not on the show when I brought this up. But just thinking about Bowers and McBride, they average. about 15 and a half PPR fantasy points per game last year. So to George Kittle.

They were all in the same range. So I thought, can they get to 17? And I looked at the last, I want to say six or seven years, go back to 2018, and all the tight ends who averaged 17 or more

fantasy points per game, I think there were six of them, and I think three of them were Travis Kelsey. The other three were Mark Andrews in a year where the Ravens surprisingly threw the ball a lot. Zach Earths in 2018,

which I think was a very good year for the Eagles passing. offense and Darren Waller one year. All of those players were on offenses, passing offenses that threw for more yards than what the Cardinals and the Raiders did last year. I just wonder if these are prolific enough passing offenses to give us a 17 fantasy point per game, tight end. What do you think?

Well, I think the fact that Brock Bowers just caught 112 passes for 1194 yards with Gardner, Menchu and Aidan O'Connell as his quarterbacks when he was a rookie certainly indicates that if you, and didn't have as good of offensive system, that if you upgrade the offensive coordinator, which they did, if you upgrade the quarterback, which they did, he has the ability, I wouldn't say 17. I think he has the ability to score 19 fantasy points per game. He's already got two touchdowns in one quarter of play, right? What's that on pace for 68? The whole of end game, right? That counts. But no, I think you could double his touchdown total from this year if things go right and there have been two of the last three seasons that chip kelly's been

calling plays his offenses have run at least 1,100 plays and thrown at least 620 passes those were in 16 game seasons if we get a fast paced chip kelly team with gino smith playing like he's played the last couple of years rock bowers could absolutely just smash the tight-in position okay do you guys see any other league-winning potential players at this position? David Nijoku, if Joe Flacco starts the majority of the season. I mean, you go back to that 20-23 year, Njoku, in those six games that Flacco started, five of them, he was over 16 PPR points per game.

And so there's so much upside for what we've seen from Njoku when it hasn't been to Sean Watson. Now there are a lot of things that are changing here. Most importantly, will Flacco start the majority of the season? You know, that's the biggest question. He's also two years removed from playing at that level when he was coming off of his couch, by the way. But can he still get the job done? He looked much better at the end of 2023 than he didn't when his opportunities with the Colts last year.

I don't know if that was system, everything around him. But Najoku has the ability, I think, to potentially push these guys. And that's why I think we're a little bit higher on him than where you see him getting drafted. His average draft position is usually between tight end nine and tight end 11. We have him, I think, across the board as a top five tight end. And then clearly, Leporta, if he can get back to, you know, being the guy that that we saw is rookie season, the guy that we saw at the end of last year, a lot of it is touchdowns. But if that can be a little bit more consistent, he was in the mix to be

tied in one two years ago, can get back to that level of production again, but he's probably going to have to score, I think, in the neighborhood of 12 touchdowns. And if I was going to look for like who's being drafted in the double digit rounds that might turn in a top three or four season, which we've seen almost every year, it would have to be one of the rookies. Colston Loveland or Tyler Warren. There's so much mystery in that. target distribution in Chicago. We don't know if it's going to be Luther Burden or DJ Moore or Roma Dunes A, but if Colson Loveland can be second on that team in targets and Caleb Williams

can be an adequate NFL quarterback, then Loveland has the skill set. If you don't believe it, just go check out Jacob Gibbs' Twitter. I think he's contractually obligated to tweet about how good Colson Loveland could be every four to six hours. And then Tyler Warren, I don't, we hate the quarterback situation, but he could be that safety valve in the passing game and maybe even do a little bit as a rusher. Those would be the two guys that come from the double-digit routes. Well, thank you very much for your league winners at quarterback, running back, wide receiver,

and tight end. Up next, we're going to hear from you. We've got your questions. Ask FFT after this break on fantasy football today. Let's go. Ask us FFT. Oh, this is one of those Twitter doctors, Dr. Quackadoo, MD. Why is Travis Hunter ranked so high in fantasy? You guys just actually talked about him as a league winner at wide receiver.

He's not going to play full-time on all. You know what? I don't need to read this out loud. Everybody can read it for themselves. But, Jamie, why is Travis Hunter ranked so high? I think as we just alluded to, you know, he'd said if his offensive snaps are as high as they potentially could be, he's got an opportunity to be a dominant force and maybe the best receiver for the jacking.

whereas I would still bet on Brian Thomas Jr. But a better system where he's going to get funneled targets from Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence. And sky's the limit for him if he's a full-time offensive player. Ethan, you know, I'll let you weigh in on that, too, just real quick. Yeah, I mean, his coach has said that he wants him to play percent of the snaps on offense. A lot of wide receivers are good and only play 65 percent. So very few wide receivers play 100 percent. I think he is going to play for the most part.

full-time. His quarterback is probably an average NFL quarterback, and we wouldn't view him so terribly if we hadn't tried to elevate him for so long. All right. Next question, please. Mark, what's the main difference between an eight-team league and a 12-team league to running back two wide receiver, no flex? Our quarterback and tight end, a higher priority in this eight-team, no-flex league. Heath, is this an easy yes? It's a much, much higher priority. Yes, the other difference is the agony of setting your lineup in an 18 week

because you're going to have 17 starters on your bench. But yes, I would prioritize the elite players at all positions. Man, when would you take your number one tight end and your number one quarterback in this format? First two rounds if you wanted to. Yeah, I might wait until like after the top three to five at each running back in wide receiver. position we're gone, but it wouldn't take long. All right, let's go to our next one here. We'll give this one to Jamie.

It's from Dean. In Keeper or Dynasty, how many games suspension is the cutoff to end ties with Rishi Rice? What do you think, Jamie? I don't know about ending ties. You know, you're hopefully looking at it more than just the 2025 campaign, and Rice could still be the best receiver with Patrick Mahomes for many years to come. I'm imagine once Travis Kelsey retires, like we're expecting a lot from Xavier worthy and they'll continue to add talent. But, you know, Rice has just been so dominant for the chiefs on the field and even in practice so far.

So I would not be cutting ties no matter what the suspension is. Next. Our last questions from Brett. What are you doing in preparation for the big tennis match? That is a week from tomorrow. I will be taking a couple of lessons next week. Hopefully I have a doubles tournament this weekend. And I am ready.

I am fired up and way too optimistic. But you know what? You got to have confidence. You got to fake it. Even if you don't think you're going to win, you got to fake it.
