Welcome to Fantasy Football today on this Monday.
And it feels like the Super Bowl was just played.
That was incredible.
I mean, it's kind of a letdown.
What do you think for the encore?
I tried to tell you.
I tried to tell you.
Good luck, Roger Goodell.
Super Bowl 55 and a half.
55 and a half.
Yeah, it was amazing.
Here's your stat of the century.
Just read this on NFL.com.
The four divisional round games
were decided by a combined total of 15 points.
That's an average margin of victory
of 3.8 points per game.
That is the lowest average margin of victory
in NFL playoff history
in a round with at least four games.
You know, there aren't that many rounds with at least four games. You know, aren't that many rounds with at least four games, but still, it was that good.
Four walk-offs.
Four walk-offs.
All right, Jamie, what was the second best game of the weekend?
Oh, I think both of them were yesterday.
You know, with the Bucs and the Rams.
You know, just the fact that the Bucs made it a game after really looking awful
through the majority of three quarters. And so, you know, they got clearly lucky with some of the
turnovers from the Rams, his field goal by Matt Gay. But, you know, you thought Brady, you know,
can you imagine if he had come back from first 28-3 against the Falcons in the Super Bowl and
then 27-3 against the Rams there? Quarterbacks named Matt or Matthew would have definitely been scared about ever playing
him again.
But yeah, it was probably yesterday.
But all the games were great.
Yeah, the Bucs game was so pathetic.
It wasn't even a great comeback.
It was just the...
Drama.
Yeah, it was just the Rams wee-weeing down their leg uh it was it was
really it was really bad dave you think the two fumbles by cam acres matter do you think uh sony
michelle gets that job back next week i bet there's a more defined split between those two
like they they mix and match them they're gonna have a hard time trusting acres. I know they went right back to him after that first fumble that he had,
but the second one,
I know he got more playing time after it,
but I wonder if they just have to think twice about it.
Is it even worth it?
Is it worth putting him on the field?
He's looked good in spurts,
but I don't know if he's necessarily back to where he was pre injury.
And maybe they should just put Sonyny Michel back in that spot.
Henderson might be back as well.
So I bet we see more of a committee next week.
His rush average is not going to look very good in the playoffs, most likely,
because he's just going to face really good run defenses, right?
He's going to face the Bucs this week, and he's going to face the 49ers next week.
The only thing I cared about was the playing time.
The fumbles, yes, problem, and we'll see what they do.
But that was pretty telling, the The fumbles, yes, problem, and we'll see what they do. But that was pretty telling, you know, the fact that he, you know,
one game in, and it was okay, you're the guy again, go.
You knew it was going to be a struggle for him, you know,
but the fact that he played as much as he did, and like Dave said,
that they went back to him after the fumbles.
We'll see what happens next week.
But Michel was terrible in Week 18 against the 49ers,
so I can't imagine that he's going to have a more significant role, much more significant role.
He'll have a bigger role potentially,
but I still think this is Akers' job,
hopefully forever.
In six-point-per-passing touchdown leagues,
Joe Burrow and Ryan Tannehill combined for 20 points.
Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes combined for 90 points.
Dude, how about saturday there was
two wins with one passing touchdown combined between those two teams and it was tannahill
it was tannahill wow rogers none yeah roppolo none burrow none crazy crazy all right so let's
do a fantasy winner and a fantasy loser. Dave, which one would you like?
Winner's the most obvious thing ever.
Well, who?
Gabriel Davis.
Okay.
Exactly.
Well, I think Cam Akers has a, even despite the fumbles. We had him last week, though.
Yeah, we did have him last week.
All right, Dave, Jamie, I'll give you Gabriel Davis.
Dave, you think of a loser while Jamie talks about Gabriel Davis.
I mean,
look, he's... This is a great stat I saw this morning. He
scored more touchdowns
in the... Am I getting this
right? No, it can't be.
Great stat, Jamie.
It's more touchdowns
in the last five games or so than
CeeDee Lamb had all season.
Whatever his seven touchdown
stretches um i'd probably butcher step but in any event he's just fantastic i mean you know the four
touchdowns that he had um set a record the the two touchdowns in the final two minutes uh set a
record um yeah he's he's uh he's gonna be everybody's favorite breakout candidate next season
um i just went back i i knew i had drafted him in one of the two drafts that we did and uh you got him in one and i got him in one yeah you got him in the ppr
when i had him half ppr right and i was mad i knew that you did because i was trying to get him in
the other one too my my receiving core in that league is keenan allen calvin ridley darnell
mooney and gabriel davis uh if you tell me i get those four guys okay sign me up all day long
keenan allen who long keenan allen who
huh keenan allen who darn on mooney gave me alan calvin ridley darn on mooney and gabriel davis
obviously ridley's a wild card but you know we're all hoping he's going to be back and in a good
situation um and that's with dalvin cook and giovante williams so uh and devin singletary so
you know you get you get uh the opportunity to see what he can be in a full-time role.
Get Emmanuel Sanders off the team so he doesn't have to have any concern
about him being in the way.
He's got so much upside, Gabriel Davis.
He does, but we shouldn't just ignore.
Well, maybe it's seven touchdowns in the playoffs is more than what
C.D. Lamb's had this season, the last two playoffs combined.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay, that makes sense.
Four yesterday with over 200 yards.
Eight catches, 201 yards, and four touchdowns on 10 targets.
Wasn't that long ago, week 18,
he had three catches for 39 yards on 14 targets.
So he had, you know, almost his,
he had more than a third of his entire season output yesterday. He had 549 yards in the regular season
and 201 yesterday. What's the danger here, Dave,
in maybe overreacting to Gabriel Davis' big game?
The overreaction is to draft him too early and to put him
in round four or something like that, where you expect him to just have a chance to take
over as the number one
wide receiver in Buffalo.
You can't do that.
No.
Well,
even if you,
you know,
I mean,
people are going to draft digs obviously,
but,
but if you expect,
and I think he's the loser,
like,
I think that he's the one that you go back to and you say,
well,
where,
where was he?
He came up small in the game against Kansas city.
He came up small in the game before.
I know he had the two point catch or whatever.
That's it's not enough, in the game against Kansas City. He came up small in the game before. I know he had the two-point catch or whatever.
It's not enough.
But he was outshined in the first Bills win in the playoffs by Dawson Knox and Davis.
And then Davis just goes ham in the second game.
And if this is the direction that the Bills offense
is going to move into, it makes sense for Buffalo
to spread it around and have more weapons
and be more diversified.
But it just kind of feels like maybe we're going to be overrating Stefan
Diggs and people taking him with a top 30 pick might be not doing themselves
a favor.
I don't know if he's going to remain dominant as the heavy target guy.
Like he was two seasons ago.
Like it was one season ago.
If that's the case, you're getting a steal for Stefan Diggs.
He's not getting out of the second round.
I mean, he's still got so much upside.
You know, you can't overlook the body of work that he had all season.
And the hope would be is that, I mean, obviously, you know what the Patriots did,
you know, with JC Jackson and trying to take him away last week.
And this week, you know, Chiefs maybe had a similar game plan.
I don't know.
I haven't gone back and looked at it yet.
But I'm going to guess that, you know, most teams' plans, which it should be,
and then Gabriel Davis' emergence will hopefully help that,
is to take away your best option, which is take away Stephon Diggs.
So if you start to open up the other side of the field,
you can't take away Stephon Diggs, then that helps Diggs moving forward.
He was seventh in targets per game among receivers this past season.
Is he going to be top seven again next season?
I mean, I guess he's still going to be top 10.
So, you know, you factor in A.J. Brown missing time, you factor in, still going to be top 10. So, you know, you factor in AJ Brown, missing time,
you factor in,
you know,
quarterback changes around the league,
you know,
so he may slip a little bit,
but,
uh,
there's still too much upside with him in this offense.
And,
and Gabriel Davis,
Adam,
your question is,
you can get overdrafted.
Probably.
So,
because you know,
we'll,
we'll,
we'll overhype him as an industry.
Um,
you know,
there'll people that,
you know,
one or two,
they'll probably call him a bust.
They'll say that don't buy into just the playoff performance and look at more of what the body of work is.
I'm sure they're not done tweaking their offense yet,
but it's hard to overlook what he can be.
I'll go back to something you said about Dawson Knox at the beginning of the season.
Attach yourself to good quarterbacks.
It's not a bad idea to attach yourself to a good player like this.
One more thing.
What does Buffalo do at running back this offseason?
Hopefully not much.
I mean, Devin Singletary seems to prove himself.
I agree.
I hope they don't do anything.
But if they go splash city at running back,
I wonder if that changes the tenor of the offense,
which, I mean, I wouldn't want them to do that, of course.
I want them to throw 45 times a game just like everybody else.
But if they try and improve that run game this offseason
and it works, that's going to hurt everybody in the passing game yeah jamie you combine gabriel
davis and darnell mooney this was a full or half ppr league half yeah that in a full ppr league
that's a that's a risky combo depending on where you get them and like you get gabriel davis in the
ninth round or whatever and whatever but uh you talk about two guys who have a 50...
Gabriel Davis, 56% career catch rate.
It's been basically the same both seasons.
Darnell Mooney, 60% catch rate.
I guess they go deep, right?
They're high ADOT guys, especially Davis.
And in a PPR league, I guess my concern is Marvin Jones.
We're not talking about number one or number two receivers here.
I don't think Davis may creep into that conversation
depending on how you build your team.
And Mooney might as well.
But you're going to rank Davis in your top 24, no?
Yeah, but again, it's about your build.
So you could still go one running back and three receivers
in your first four rounds and get one of those guys.
You're not gonna get both at this point because Mooney's type will get out of
control and Davis's type is certainly gonna get out of control.
Yeah.
All right.
I won't be able to draft that receiving core again if Ridley's right.
Well,
but I think you should be able to,
because I don't know that.
Not without going receiver,
receiver,
receiver,
but I don't know that.
Okay.
I mean,
your first two of Keenan Allen and Calvin Ridley would have to be, no, I receiver. But I don't know that... Okay, your first two of Keenan Allen and Calvin Ridley
would have to be...
No, I don't know.
I mean, the way our last two drafts have been,
Ridley's made us a lot of score.
I did Dalvin Cook in the first round.
Forget Keenan Allen.
So it's an upgrade over Keenan Allen.
I would have to go four receivers in a row
and just go zero RB.
It's just not happening.
I just don't think that Gabriel Davis...
What round do you think Gabriel Davis should be drafted in?
He's going to go in that 45 to 55 range, 45 to 60 range.
Wow.
Mid-round four to end of round five.
I don't think he'll go that high.
He has to have a legit breakout.
He has to be the number two wide receiver consistently for the Bills.
And I don't know.
That feels high to me right now.
You know the way this works. now. I'm telling you,
you know the way this works.
No, I'm not.
I'm not disagreeing
that it should happen.
It feels too early for me.
What about you?
In the round four range,
it feels early.
I think round five,
based on how receivers
start to fly off the board
in that three through five range,
he is absolutely getting drafted
in the middle of round five.
But should he?
I'm not saying he will he.
I'm saying should he?
It depends.
I mean, I can only tell you where I'm going to rank him.
So I know where I'm going to rank him is somewhere between 20 and 30.
And so he's going to be drafted in that range.
That's where those guys go.
And Dave, what do you think?
I think he's going to be ranked somewhere between 20 and 30 as well.
I might have a hard time putting him in top 24.
Yeah, maybe some maybe right around 55.
Like Jamie said, 45 to 55, 45 just freaks me out there's no way
maybe around 55th overall people are going to start gravitating toward taking him i think if
you get him in around six at this point it's it's fine and if you looked at the at the 70s of of adp
last year i'll try to get it let's go PPR. This is where I'm thinking guys like
Juju Smith-Schuster and Chase Claypool
and Jamar Chase were going off the board.
And that's kind of where I thought
he might end up.
When you're talking about top 60,
you're talking about Cooper Cup,
DJ Moore, Tyler Lockett, that group.
And I didn't think he'd make it there.
So, yeah.
It could be splitting hairs.
You know, it could be 65,
you know, but it's very hard
to imagine Josh Allen's
number two receiver
after the playoff performance
he just had
getting out of round six.
Okay, so round six last year?
Just to kind of put in context,
it could be we're chasing
Meekle Hardman again.
Yeah, right.
You know,
I don't think that's the case,
but that's same type of feel.
Oh,
the number two guy opposite these two other great pass catchers in this
case is really only one,
but you know,
loaded offense,
great quarterback and the guy doesn't deliver.
I don't think Gabriel Davis is that guy though.
I think he's going to be more involved and better.
Are you taking him over St.
Brown?
Um,
equanimous? Yes. Okay. What about Amari Cooper? Are you taking him over St. Brown?
Equanimous, yes.
Okay.
What about Amari Cooper?
No, actually, you need to answer the... I want to know the answer for both of you.
I would take Amari St. Brown.
Amari St. Brown, because that is really interesting.
Okay.
As of now, as of now,
because we don't know what the Lions are going to end up doing.
Amari Cooper versus...
How could you take Gabriel Davis over Amari Cooper?
I wouldn't.
Right.
I wouldn't either.
And then what about, like, Mooney?
Like, are we getting closer with Darnell Mooney?
That's the type of player you're looking at, I think.
You know, it's...
Does Justin Fields take the next step?
Who's the other receiver in Chicago?
Who's the coach in Chicago?
I mean, you know, there are a lot of questions
still to be answered there,
but they're a very similar range.
I don't think there's a lot of difference between the two of them.
I just... I think I can name 25 other receivers i would put ahead of
gabriel davis even after yesterday and i love the guy all he does is score touchdowns i don't know
if he can do it for you know nine of 17 games next year maybe he can and if he can then yes he's worth
a pick in the top 50 oh the the touchdowns crazy. He has 16 games in his career,
regular season games,
with four or more targets.
And he has scored a touchdown in 10,
at least one,
in 10 of those 16 games.
He has a magnet for the end zone.
All right, so we're 15 minutes in.
We haven't even talked about the game,
but let's just talk about the game.
But also let me promote something here.
If you're listening on Spotify,
please leave a five-star review.
You can do that, obviously, on Apple Podcasts.
I got to read some of those Apple Podcasts questions
that are coming in.
But Spotify, you can do that there.
So anywhere that you can leave a review, please do.
And Spotify is one place that you can do it.
We have three shows this week.
We have Running Back and Wide Receiver Reflections
coming up on Tuesday
and Thursday, respectively,
plus a recap of the half PPR mock draft
also on Tuesday.
Anyway,
yeah,
you know, that game,
obviously,
probably shouldn't have kicked off
at the end there, right?
Probably should have squibbed it
considering Tyreek was back there.
I get it. I get why they kicked off you
know you you're you're trying to tyreek was back there right no yeah somebody said to me i didn't
think he was either but um you're trying to you know if you squib it and they and they pick it
up short it's the same thing they're just down on the ball right there the idea is to kick it
yeah kick it to the five you want to kick it to the five. You want to kick it to the five?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then it's,
I don't know.
It didn't seem like you see,
you know,
at the end of a game where teams line up their defensive backs really close to the sideline.
So you can't get out of balance on them.
And it seemed like they were kind of half doing that.
And Kelsey kind of even made reference to that when he,
you know,
when he had his big catch
to set up the field goal.
And it's like, they have three timeouts.
You don't have to guard the sidelines.
You got to cover the field.
You don't have to worry about them
getting out of bounds.
Leslie Frazier and Todd Bowles
at the end of the games yesterday
really kind of,
you have to question what they were doing.
Oh, the zero blitz.
Yep.
Bruce Arian said, never question it.
But did you see that some of the Bucs...
Let me see if I can find this quote from Levante David.
I think it was.
It was like, I don't think everybody knew what the play call was on the Bucs.
They said some people knew, some people didn't.
I'm pretty sure Levante David said that.
I'll try to find it.
And Bruce Arians even said, you don't question the play call.
You just make sure all 11 guys are on the same page.
So I think there was a little bit of confusion there.
Dave, what stood out to you in that Bills-Chiefs game?
What stood out to me in the Bills-Chiefs game?
You mean like from the end of it all?
Anything.
I thought the last two plays, the defense that the Bills set up for those 13 seconds were terrible.
You know, these basic prevent defense type plays.
And I thought it was clever that the Chiefs instinctively knew on the first play to just hit the middle of the field and get as many yards as you can.
And then Kelsey not getting pressed off the line and just being wide open and able to gain yards after catch.
I thought that that was crazy.
And you knew as soon as Kelsey caught that second pass that the game was over,
or at least it would come down to the coin toss,
I guess I should say,
but like whoever was winning that coin toss was going to win the game.
And now like everybody's going crazy about the overtime rule and what it
should be.
I just feel like in the moment,
people just wanted to watch more of Mahomes versus Allen,
you know,
doing their best Madden
impersonation and just chucking downfield
against each other. But
I think the Bills deserve to lose the game based on
how the thing went down
at the end.
Jamie, what if we did, instead of a coin toss
at overtime, because I know people are salty about
overtoss, what if they did rock, paper, scissors?
I like it. Right, because then
it takes a little bit. Then at least you feel
a little bit more in control.
People were critiquing
Josh Allen for calling tails.
It's so stupid.
The Chiefs, this
rule cost them
an opportunity in 2019.
That's right.
Then you get a chance to
get my homes on the field.
I think instead of changing the overtime rule,
I have a different proposal.
One of these teams should move to the NFC.
So this is a Superbowl moving forward as opposed to,
you know,
just a divisional matchup or a championship game.
So I would like to move one of them to the NFC.
Yeah.
Trade them with the Giants.
The NFC could beat up on the Giants.
Yeah.
We'll take all the bills guys. Right. They trade him with the Giants. The AFC could beat up on the Giants. Yeah, we'll take all the Bills guys, right?
We'll just...
The...
This could be...
No, like the Giants are actually part of the...
No, I wouldn't like that.
This could be...
This could be, you know, like Packer.
This could be what it would be like
Aikman, Steve Young, or, you know, every year.
Oh, Brady Manning.
Sure.
Brady Manning, sure.
It's a good one.
I forgot about those guys.
Alright.
I've got a feeling we might be saying
something similar next week about
I'll take Mahomes Burrow every year.
I mean, don't forget Justin Herbert.
I mean, Trevor Lawrence, if he
materializes into what he can become.
The AFC is just loaded
with if these quarterbacks become
what they're capable of being,
and obviously you saw the two last night,
and we think Burrow is establishing himself,
and obviously Herbert as well.
It's going to be fun for many, many years.
You know, as Roethlisberger retires and Brady's mulling it over,
and who knows what Rodgers does,
the league is in great hands with their quarterbacks.
Okay, I'm really close to finding this quote here.
But in the meantime,
I have to find this.
Okay, here
you go. Levante David, hurry up.
Guys scrambling all over the
place trying to get lined up. Just an unfortunate
situation. Some people got the call.
Some people didn't. It is what it is.
They had a great play call lined up. They made
a play. It just sucks for us to lose in that matter from battling back the way we did and then yeah bruce arian said
never second guess just make sure all 11 are on the same page so that didn't happen that must be
what happened that's from the athletic not everybody got it also the grim reaper quote is
awesome when things are grim be the grim reaper Reaper. That's what... It's so awesome. I mean, what a...
You know what that is?
That's Al Pacino to Jamie Foxx.
When things get grim, be the Grim Reaper.
Oh, in Any Given Sunday, yeah.
So actually, that brings us to our next topic here.
I have a movie review I'd like to give.
I saw a movie for the first time.
Taken 4?
Which one? Taken 4? Which one?
Taken 4?
Taken, no.
Dave, you still haven't watched Taken?
No.
Not yet?
Okay.
I was a little busy this weekend.
I was a little busy too,
but Friday night,
I got...
Ozark.
Yeah.
Maybe it was Thursday.
I think it was actually Thursday night.
Yeah.
Very fortunate.
My wife was getting our daughter,
one and a half year old,
to sleep,
and my wife fell asleep in the process.
And I was like, yes, I can watch anything I want tonight.
Whoa, hey, this is a PG show, Adam.
Why?
All right, so after I watched that, Jamie,
I decided it was time to finally see.
Come on, this is actually, you're going to finally see. Come on.
This is actually,
this is,
you're going to like this.
Okay.
The notebook,
the empire strikes back.
Oh,
nice.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What'd you think?
It's good.
I mean,
it's really good.
I don't,
I don't think it's one of the best movies I've ever seen,
but I felt the same.
I think I actually liked the new hope better when i know nobody has
that opinion but it wouldn't be my opinion if it were completely different um but it was really
good i'm gonna watch anything yeah well great thank you um yep yep yep yep uh anyway that's
that's there you go uh it was good and i think the best thing I would say about it is that when it was done,
I was, like, dying to watch Return of the Jedi.
It's too bad you didn't watch Return of the Jedi with Princess Leia's bikini.
Is that Return of the Jedi?
I'm looking forward to that.
Hopefully my wife falls asleep and I can watch that in the dark.
Okay.
We got some news and notes for you.
Also, I want to know.
You make me sick, man.
I want to know.
I want to know when Dave has a moment to himself, what kind of beer he's cracking open.
We'll talk about that in just a moment.
Let's do some news and notes.
Tom Brady could retire.
Aaron Rodgers doesn't know what his future holds. Sean Payton is reportedly considering leaving the
Saints. Dave, the NFL landscape could be so different next season. It definitely could.
I would be surprised if Brady retires. I would be surprised if Sean Payton leaves New Orleans,
although I think this is his way of trying to get more money out of the Saints. So they'll probably get that.
Rogers is the one where I think that landscape changes.
They are in so much trouble in terms of cap space.
I think the Saints have the they're the most over the cap going into next year.
Packers are right behind them and their their way out of it is to trade Aaron Rogers and
not tag Devonta Adams and they'll get there I know that
they should do everything in their power to keep those two guys and maybe they can and you can
always work around cap space but that's going to be tough for them this is going to this could be a
very very massive changing of the guard in Green Bay Rodgers is not staying if Adams is gone there's
no chance I can't see it with what they have to potentially replace. I mean, you could probably move on
from both Smiths on the defensive side,
Preston and Z'Darrius, just based on what
their injuries
plus production was this past season.
Amos is probably somebody they can
move on from. Bakhtiari, they obviously
got through the season without him.
There's some probably big-name players they can move on
from. You wonder if there's maybe an Aaron Jones
move just because of the position.
But if there's no Adams, there's no Rodgers in Green Bay.
I can't see that happening.
You know, I don't think he'd want to stay if he doesn't have him there.
Why would he?
Well, what actually would make a ton of sense for Rodgers if he could find his way, if he does leave.
I know Denver, from our standpoint, would be a lot of fun for fantasy.
But, you know know he's talked
about um how much playing with a you know above average defense means tim he clearly had one this
season uh new orleans will make a ton of sense you know if they could find a way to make that
happen obviously like you said dave they're both in sort of salary cap hell but playing for sean
payton in in that type of uh scenario i think he would probably relish that because i think part
of this is you know if you look at ro, I don't know how much the, the,
the weather plays into this, but like who wants to,
who wants to play in that, you know? I mean, just how, how,
how difficult that is, you know, it's, it, I know that they're,
they're the home team. They should have the advantage, but it's just,
you know, why, why would you put yourself through that?
If you didn't have to.
Well, he seems to like it. You know,
he says that it kind of wilts the the weaker teams
i'm sure he look he's a packer he loves it you know i mean he's he you know whatever the the
off off um off season differences have been with management in front office you know that that's
obviously a problem for him but he's he's embodied that team i mean you know it's it's really a shame
that you know for 33 years i think it's been that farvin rogers, you know, it's really a shame that, you know, for 33 years, I think it's been,
that Favre and Rodgers have two Super Bowls.
I mean, that's just maddening how good those two guys are.
I mean, you know, two of the top 10 best quarterbacks of all time
and only two Super Bowls combined between the two of them
with the same franchise.
Yeah, right.
But look around the rest of the league.
I mean, there's a team an hour and a half south of there.
Or not an hour and a half.
That's Milwaukee. Five hours south of Green Bay. That would love to have a championship
over the last 30 years. They don't have one. Buffalo would love to have a championship.
You know what they've been through. Sure, but they haven't had those two guys. You say you
have those two guys. Of course. No, no, no. I completely get what you're saying. I get what
you're saying. Just so it's out there, Smith and Smith would save them a lot of salary cap space
too. So there's a way for them to keep
Rodgers and Adams, but then their
defense could be pretty
ugly next year. Bakhtiari
is staying. His cap number is too high
to let go.
They have not drafted
I'm pretty sure, I don't know this for
100%, but I'm pretty sure this is right.
They have not drafted a running
back, wide receiver, or tight end in the first round
since Javon Walker in 2002.
That's insane.
And it's just, he needs it.
They're slow and boring, and it works.
He makes it work.
He makes it work, yeah.
But at the same time, you need another guy
to give you an explosive play every now and then,
and I think it's catching up to them.
It kind of reminds me of the Patriots at the end there,
where it's like they just didn't really have enough on offense.
They could get by with Brady and Gronk or whatever for the regular season,
but for the Packers, their number two receiver is always Aaron Jones.
It's just not good enough.
I just know Pete Prisco talks about this all the time. Aaron is always at Aaron Jones and it's just not good enough. The whole thing been, you know,
I just know Pete Prisco talks about this all the time.
The guy got Valdez scaling more involved.
They got to get more because he's their speed guy, you know,
so they needed to have something.
It doesn't necessarily have to be him, but you know,
how to find somebody in that role. Cause you know, they,
they've been lucky. I mean, you know,
what Devante Adams was based on where he was drafted and becoming the best
receiver in the game, you know, that's, that's a blessing to to them and you know what Alan Lazard was finding him off the scrap heap
solid player you know Robert Tunyon last year solid player you know these guys like you said
Adam they weren't it's like we're investing in this he's going to become something you know
they've had to cultivate it and that's credit to Aaron Rodgers and the coaching staff there but
yeah I mean you know it's it's uh it's a frustrating situation when you're hoping that your quarterback is going to rescue you time
and time again. Whereas like the chiefs, like Nicole Hardman, for example, he failed,
but he was a second round pick, you know, like there, there was, there was an investment there
and trying to find something to compliment it. The bills, you know, we've talked about this
many times, you know, it started with John Brown and Cole Beasley, and then eventually the trade
for Stefan Diggs, you know, you're trying to build around your young quarterback.
The Dolphins tried to do that.
They tried to go out and get Will Fuller and draft Jalen Waddell
and keep Devontae Parker.
So it's like you have to do those things to make your quarterback better,
and the Packers, they just expect Aaron Rodgers to rescue them,
and he has more times than not, except in the biggest moments.
It works.
You can't really criticize them because they keep doing really well,
but they just fall
a little short.
Anyway, let's see.
Pittsburgh defensive
coordinator Keith Butler
retired.
The Ravens fired
defensive coordinator
Wake Martindale.
No surprise.
Carolina hired
Ben McAdoo
as their offensive
coordinator.
I love that.
Yeah.
Well, look,
he had a good
track record when he took over for the
giants they went from 28th in points to 12th and then sixth the next year um and then when he became
the head coach they stunk they were 26th and 31st in points but you know look his his his first year
as the giants offensive coordinator was also odell beck's rookie season, so I think that had a lot to do with it too.
Do you ever forgive him for benching Eli?
I don't care.
Yes, I've forgiven him, but it was so silly.
Yeah, I don't know.
Look, he wasn't a terrible offensive coordinator.
The thing is, Matt Rule really, really, really wants to run the ball, right?
He's like Mike Zimmer.
Is that how you read it? He wants to run the ball, right? I mean, he's like Mike Zimmer. I mean, is that how you read it?
I mean, he wants to run the ball like 30 times a game.
I mean, I think if he had a better quarterback,
that might change his mind.
But, you know, he also had a running quarterback too.
I just thought that he basically got rid of Joe Brady
because they didn't run the ball as much as he wanted to.
Maybe.
Matt Rule, by the way, according to The Athletic,
could be interested in the Michigan job if Jim Harbaugh leaves.
Matt Ryan most likely will not be traded, according to The Athletic.
Chargers GM Tom Telesco said that they need to reduce
Austin Eckler's workload.
He basically said they really want to get another running back involved there.
And he also said that Mike Williams is a big part of the team.
We will see.
Jerry Jones was critical of Amari
Cooper. Thought that was interesting.
And of course, the biggest
football story of all
was the Giants hiring
Joe Shane to be their GM.
Only big because we learned how to
pronounce Joe Shane's last name.
S-C-H-O-E-N.
Pronounce Shane.
Congratulations to Benji Haney.
Who's Benji Haney, you ask?
Well, we have something called the FFT Open.
And if you want to be part of it, you can be next year.
It's posted in our Facebook group.
A guy named Casey Simons runs it.
He does an amazing job.
Over 200 teams. This is like our little version of the Scott Fishbowl. Fantasy Football Today
listeners competing against each other. Benji Haney won the 2021 Fantasy Football Today Open.
Well done, sir. And thank you to Casey for running that. Okay. Dave, I saturday was a tough day for you and me uh in the sports world so i hope you
went home from a one point miami hurricanes college basketball loss to their bitter rival
florida state and you cracked open a miller light right i didn't quite do that i picked up my wife
and then we went out to an outdoor sports bar.
And now we can pick up the story where you left off.
And watching the game on Saturday night,
definitely ordered myself a Miller Lite and just relaxed and took a lot off and just watched some football.
And Miller Lite has always been a great tasting light beer
for people who love beer.
So if you need just a few good friends or your wife, whatever it may be,
and a beer with taste you can depend on, grab yourself a Miller Lite made from simple
ingredients. Miller Lite is for people who love the taste of beer. Malted barley gives it the
rich, balanced, toffee note flavors and the golden color that you know and love. So you've
heard Dave talk about it. It's also just 96 calories. It's great taste. Miller Lite, great taste, 96 calories.

As teams get eliminated, we
ask one question about each team.
We'll start with Tennessee.
We see just how good
A.J. Brown is. Five catches, 142
yards and a touchdown. He can be
uncoverable sometimes. He can also be
frustrating. What is A.J.
Brown's ceiling, Jamie Eisenberg?
I mean, he could be top five. I don't know if he'll ever be number one in this offense with
this quarterback, but there's certainly that chance, but he's got to stay healthy. That's
the biggest thing. You know, that's, that's certainly been an issue for him through three
seasons. I just think if he's, if he's on the field for, you know,
13 to 15 games,
you know,
even with Tannehill and not knowing what they're going to do opposite him and Julio Jones is still going to be on the roster,
but there's just so much to love about what his game is and,
and the potential on the upside that he brings.
So he's a,
he's an easy player to target around too.
Last year,
you finished seventh in fantasy points per game in PPR.
He had 70 catches, 1,075 yards, and 11 touchdowns.
That feels pretty close to what his ceiling is.
So could he crack a top five list at wide receiver
in points per game in PPR?
Sure.
But I don't think he can get much higher than five.
He's somebody
that you can debate Stephon Diggs with.
Yeah, so let's do it.
Diggs or A.J. Brown?
I would take A.J. Brown in non-PPR.
I would take Stephon Diggs in PPR.
I think I'll take Brown in both
just because I expect
there to be enough change in that Buffalo
offense to maybe
drive down those targets for Diggs. I don't want to make it sound like I hate digs by the way,
but there was talk about him being maybe still a first round pick.
No way.
Second round pick is where he's going to end up.
I wouldn't surprise me if Brown was taken ahead of digs in a handful of
leagues.
I guess the only thing is digs 164 targets in 17 games.
And I just don't see how
A.J. Brown gets 160 targets,
right?
Again, we don't know.
I don't know if Mike Vrabel,
I can only assume he's happy with Todd Downing, but
you just never know.
If there's a coordinator change,
it's very unlikely that they move on from Tannehill
unless there's a trade. Like, hey, Green Bay,
we'll send you Ryan Tannehill.
You give us Aaron Rodgers.
He wants out.
Let's make that happen.
Then A.J. Brown's stock gets even higher.
But there's no way I would ever take A.J. Brown
over Stephon Diggs in PPR.
The catch potential is so much higher for Stephon Diggs.
Here's something to consider for A.J. Brown,
why it's hard to evaluate players, right? So if you look at 2020 and Dave already gave the numbers,
1,073 yards, 11 touchdowns, he was number five per game and non PPR number seven per game and
full PPR. Uh, and compare it to 2021, he had the same amount of targets. He actually had just one
more target in 2020 than he had in 2021, but the numbers were so much
worse in 2021. So it
wasn't even like, well, he was hurt. I mean, he was a little hurt,
right? He was banged up, but he was also
playing through injuries last year,
and bottom line is,
106 targets in 2020, 105
targets in 2021, but
he goes from 1,070... How many games? Same amount of games?
14 games
last year, 13 games this year.
But there's some where he left with injury and whatnot.
But 206 more yards and six more touchdowns in 2020 compared to 2021.
And the only thing that I can look at that really changed,
that seems obvious to me anyway, just looking at the stat page,
how about his yards per yards after catch per catch it went from 6.2 yards after catch per catch to 3.9 which probably means
he had a few plays in 2020 where he broke a tackle and gained 40 more yards or something like that
compared to 2021 and that could be the difference, you know,
in having this incredible year and having a kind of a disappointing year. That's what he does. He
makes big plays. But that was the only thing that, how do you explain that? Same amount of targets,
200 fewer yards, five fewer touchdowns. I don't know. Maybe it was that. It's kind of interesting.
All right, for Green Bay, here's the Green Bay question.
Let's just focus on the running backs,
or else we'll spend a half hour talking about Green Bay.
What do you expect from the Green Bay running backs, Dave,
with or without Aaron Rodgers?
I think they're going to be a big focal point of the offense, obviously.
It's a strength that not many teams have to have two running backs like this
that they can use in and out.
And as long as they're both healthy,
I don't think either one's going to get more than 15 touches in a given week.
I don't think it's going to be as simple as Aaron Jones plays between the 20s
and gets all the catches, and then A.J. Dillon just gets the short yardage work.
I think there'll be some mixing and matching.
There will be selective moments where Jones will see more catches Jones is going to get
more catches but I bet there's going to be selective moments where Jones is working at the
goal line and Dillon is on the sideline there'll be some third downs where Dillon's on the field
and Jones will be on the sideline so I'm I'm expecting it to be a little messy but probably
something close to what we saw toward the end of the regular season,
where they're both going to be useful for fantasy managers,
but neither one will have, like,
you can't reliably start one as a top-ten type of running back.
Jamie, do you think Aaron Jones is clearly better
than A.J. Dillon going into next year as a fantasy asset?
Clearly, no.
Better in PPR.
Maybe clearly in PPR, yes.
But no, I don't think so.
I think Dave said it best.
It's a luxury that they have that most teams don't.
But the bigger issue is Aaron Rodgers.
So with Rodgers, I think you could feel comfortable about Jones
maybe in the back end of round two.
I'm most likely going to see him go in round three.
For Dylan, probably the earliest you'll see him go is maybe round five in PPR,
maybe close to round four in non-PPR,
depending on how the running backs come off the board,
and probably similar in half.
He was one of the guys, and we'll talk about this tomorrow,
that I was looking to see where he was going to go because, you know, people get excited about the,
the next, what, you know, the, him, Tony Pollard, those are the two I was looking at, you know,
because could you see maybe a changing of the guard? So if Rogers is back, if Adams is back,
if it's the same cast of characters from the main guys you're looking at in the Packers,
I think you could feel comfortable about Jones as a number two running back and Dylan as a
potential flex with the lottery ticket upside.
Now, if Rogers leaves, that becomes where your trust factor goes
with these two guys because clearly the scoring potential goes way down
depending on who the quarterback is.
If it's Jordan Love, then how do you justify Aaron Jones in the third round?
Maybe the fourth round because, like Dave said,
he'll still be the focal point of the offense,
and Dylan probably gets more work.
But, my gosh, it's just going to be so hard to say same level of confidence with both those guys.
And just for the record, we've done two mock drafts.
Dylan went 60th overall in the full PPR mock and 64th overall in the half PPR mock.
Yeah, Dave, I was trying to tease it for tomorrow so people were excited.
Yeah, and I mean, you worry without the touchdowns what A.J. Dillon would be.
And without Aaron Rodgers, how many touchdowns could he score?
Sure.
I wonder if Rodgers leaves if they just become so run-heavy.
Also, did you already say that, Dave?
I don't know if you did.
No, but it makes sense.
Also, Matt LaFleur has been an offensive coordinator
or a head coach for five seasons now.
I keep updating this, that every year.
Five seasons, three different teams,
and a running back has been second on the team in targets
all five years.
Gurley, Deion Lewis,
and then three straight years of Aaron Jones.
You just wonder, is it the personnel or is it the coach?
Yeah, I mean, that's definitely part of it.
But it seems like that's a part of the offense.
Because, you know, if Devin Funches
had ever materialized in Green Bay,
would Aaron Jones be second in targets?
Maybe they'll draft like Kenny Pickett or something.
There's a chance he could be on the board.
They use a little capital if they lose Rodgers.
That'd be fun.
You think they spend another early round pick on a quarterback?
I don't know.
If they lose Rodgers, I think it's got to be on the table.
But that would obviously be throwing in the towel on Jordan Love.
He did not look very good.
Limited sample size.
Real quick break. When we come back,
we'll talk about the Bucs, who also
might lose their quarterback, and what would that mean?
Boy, it was pretty
good, actually, the last time they did not have
Tom Brady. They had two
wide receivers who were top four per
game. We'll be right back on Fantasy

tampa bay buccaneers i really hope so because because I think at least you know what you're going to get
from Godwin and Evans.
You're going to get
great fantasy production
if Tom Brady's back.
So let's talk about this team.
And Jamie, you can have the first word.
How do you evaluate
the Bucs passing game
with and without Tom Brady
going into 2022?
Yeah, and you kind of said something
that we should also clarify.
So are we just assuming
Chris Godwin is back
and staying in Tampa Bay? And what about Gronk and what about fournette because they have so many you
know this is either run it back or blow it up because they're you know i can't imagine that
these guys stay if you know it's doubtful blaine gabbert but kyle trask or you know if they you
know bring in somebody else which probably would be the route that they go, but you know, Brady's going to keep those guys most likely until certainly Gronk
and maybe Godwin.
But, um, so I think if, if, if Brady's there, you just count on them still doing the same
thing, you know, Evans and Godwin, assuming Godwin is a hundred percent by training camp,
which, you know, hopefully is with an ACL tear that you're looking at two top 15 caliber wide receivers.
We know what the upside can be.
They could be top 10, but probably still safe to treat them as round three picks.
Godwin better in PPR.
Evans better in non-PPR because of the touchdown potential.
If there is no Brady and Godwin's gone, then Evans becomes probably still a round three pick
depending on the quarterback because you know what the track record is.
Basically, it's 1,007.
He rolls out of bed getting that.
But it just won't feel as comforting.
You know, Winston, you knew what you were getting because of Bruce Arians.
And I think if Brady leaves, Arians might consider going as well.
You know, maybe he just decides, okay, I've had my run.
I'm going to turn it over to either Bowles or to Leftwich
and let them have their opportunity to be a head coach
because they're certainly deserving. Bowles going to turn it over to either Bowles or to Leftwich and let them have their opportunity to be a head coach because they're certainly deserving.
Bowles obviously done it before.
That's an offseason
worth monitoring for sure.
What happens in Tampa Bay changes the landscape
of a lot of fantasy assets and Gronk probably
retires again.
Dave, do you think
that
maybe they could bring Jameis Winston back?
Let's say Brady's gone.
He's available. Like last time Brady...
He's available.
Yeah, right.
Last time Brady was not on the team.
He said he loved him.
Yeah, it would make sense, right?
A lot of turnovers,
but he got better at that
in New Orleans.
But he threw for 5,000 yards.
He was a top five quarterback.
He was top eight per game.
And like I said,
Chris Godwin and Mike Evans
were top four per game.
Godwin was the number two
wide receiver in football and fantasy that year.
And Rashad Perryman was one of the waiver
wire darlings. Oh my gosh, Rashad Perryman, his last
six games, he had like 500 yards
and five touchdowns or something like that. I actually have
that somewhere in the notes.
It was
500 yards and 560 yards and five touchdowns
in his last five games, which is crazy.
That's Bruce Arians for you.
I mean,
would this feel different than the Packers losing Rodgers?
I think they could still be competitive
because I can't imagine Bruce Arians having a quarterback
that can't push the ball down the field.
If Brady leaves, whether they bring back James or not,
it'll be somebody they'll find somebody who has a strong arm and they'll
just hope that that guy can not make a lot of mistakes.
And if they can do that,
then it'll be a similar type of offense.
The defense is still good.
I know that they didn't win on Sunday,
but they're still a good defense and they can find running backs and the
offensive line is going to be good.
I don't think that line is changing that much
without looking at their cap situation.
They have money to spend.
They're not up against it like the Saints or the Packers are.
So, obviously, it would go without saying
that the offense would be amazing if Brady stays.
If they get a great quarterback to replace Brady,
like Rodgers, for example, goes there.
Some crazy scenario.
That would be amazing.
And we'd be all systems go on everybody that's left in that passing game.
And yeah, I think Godwin stays.
But if it's a worst-case scenario where they don't have a quarterback
that can throw the ball 50 yards downfield,
I think you'd feel that a little bit.
I think Evans and Godwin probably wouldn't be regarded
as top 12-ish type of wide receivers.
If I were Rodgers, that was the first place I'd go if Brady walks.
Warm, good defense, perfect scenario.
And finally, he'll get to just air the ball out,
throw as many times as he wants.
They've been top five and past him.
He'd have to deal with finally throwing a few interceptions.
He wouldn't have Devontae, though, would he?
Unless Devontae... If Godwin leaves and you say, Devontae, though, would he? Unless Devontae...
If Godwin leaves and you say,
Devontae, let's go to Florida.
Maybe there's a trade to be made. They
franchise both receivers and they trade them for each other.
And Godwin goes to Green Bay.
Let's say if Rodgers
goes to Tampa Bay
and Godwin and Evans are there.
Let's say no Gronk, no Brady.
Where do you rank Aaron Rodgers?
I mean, I think he's fourth for me right now.
Yeah.
Maybe three.
Maybe he'd go ahead of Justin Herbert.
Yeah.
Because you just know how much they throw.
They've been top six in past attempts each of the last three years under Arians.
I just wonder if Brady leaves, why is Bruce Arians hanging on?
Because he's got Aaron Rodgers.
Right.
In this scenario.
In that scenario, yes.
Right.
Sure.
Why would he stick around
to coach Jameis again?
Well, you know,
maybe he wants to prove himself.
You know, I can do it without Brady,
just like Bill.
All right, Buffalo.
Speaking of Bills,
I was going to ask
where you're ranking Gabriel Davis
and also ask about Stefan Diggs.
We already did that.
We got a Singletary top again.
Yeah, I mean, we've done that, but we certainly could.
How about Dawson Knox?
We talked about Singletary, not today, but in recent shows.
How about Dawson Knox?
Yeah, top 12, top 10, top 8.
Where's Dawson Knox for you guys? I think once you get past, there's, top 10, top 8. Where's the Dawson Knox for you guys?
So I think once you get past,
there's going to be, I think, a consensus, what, five?
You're going to have Kelsey, Andrews, whatever order,
Waller, Kittle, Pitts.
Those I think are going to be a consensus top five.
I think once you get past that group
and then you get to the Hawkinson, Goddard,
Ertz, depending on where he goes.
Knox is in that group.
Schultz, depending on where he goes.
Friermuth, maybe.
Fant, maybe.
That's, I think, where Dawson Knox is going to live.
He's not going to be somebody that you're going to be actively targeting,
but you know that you can get some quality production from him.
There'll be some highs clearly,
as we saw in the season,
you know,
you wonder what it would have been if he didn't break his hand and had
that,
you know,
I think it was like a two and a half game stretch where he missed.
There was a bi-week in there.
You know,
his,
his stats probably look a little bit better,
but again,
Adam,
you,
you nailed this.
It's attaching your,
yourself to a good quarterback.
And that's kind of what Knox became.
You know,
he became a reliable option in a very good offense that throws the ball good quarterback. And that's kind of what Knox became. You know, he became a reliable option
in a very good offense that throws the ball a lot.
And he proved himself.
And I think that gave Josh Allen the comfort
and confidence to continue going to him.
And so there are games where he's going to disappear
because he's not going to be a five plus catch guy
on a weekly basis.
But the touchdown potential is there almost all the time.
So he's not someone you target,
but he's someone you settle for
and you can feel comfortable starting when the season opens.
Dave, he has fewer than 12 yards in three of his last five games.
That's not good.
You're hoping for more involvement from Dawson Knox,
and we can't guarantee that that's going to be the case.
It was nice that he averaged 10.5 PPR points per game last year,
and he's entering a contract year,
so he'll be motivated to play out in a big way.
But I honestly think that he's going to be
a touchdown-dependent tight end most weeks.
There will be some games, we saw it this year,
where he had four, five, six-plus catches,
and the yardage was good.
But you're starting him because you're hoping
he scores a touchdown, and because Josh Allen
is his quarterback, and it's the perfect type of tight end to settle for
when you get to round nine plus.
This was the group that he's going to be in for 2021.
You're not going to like it, but this is the tight ends
that we were drafting.
It was Gusecki.
It was Logan Thomas.
It was Robert Tunyon.
It was maybe Higby, maybe
Fant, um, you know, the, the guys that were, you know, like seven through 12, you know, so,
uh, we kind of knew that the Goddard situation going into the season, we had hoped that it was
going to do what eventually did, which was split those two guys up. And then you saw, you could
start both of them and they were, you know, very good. Um, but that's the, that's the type of
tight end Dawson Knox and Pat Fryer, which are going to be, you know very good um but that's the that's the type of tight end dawson knox and pat fryer muth are going to be you know touchdown dependent guys we don't know
who fryer muth's quarterback's going to be but um knox i think is somebody like i said you you'll
settle for and close to double digit rounds who do you like better knox or fryer muth knox knox
knox or um oh that's the hard one for me is Fant.
And I think that one will be T.B.T.
Right.
On the quarterback.
But I think it's going to be where does Schultz go?
And I know for me, I'll probably just fall back in love with Blake Jarwin again if he's the de facto number one.
If he's still there.
I think he's free.
They have to cut him.
He's still under contract.
They could re-sign Schultz. That's a move that they probably cut him. You know, he's still under contract. So they could re re sign Schultz.
That that's,
that's a move that they probably should make.
But where does Ertz go?
You know,
that's a big factor too.
You know,
so I think Knox is just somebody that,
again,
you know,
you,
you just kind of see how the draft unfolds for you.
So if you miss on the top five and then that,
I think then the next two,
I think are going to end up probably being Goddard and,
and,
and Hawkinson.
And so then it's that, you know, eight through 12 to 15.
Here's Scott fish always watching saying Matthew Stafford eats breakfast with
Cooper cup. Josh Allen plays X-Box with Dawson Knox.
Is it a sign for the future?
Maybe best friends, right?
