Starting point is 00:00:00 This is fantasy football today from CBS Sports It's time to dominate your fantasy league Here's some combination of Adam Dave Jamie and he NFL draft Eve baby Yeah, what's up? Welcome to the show Wednesday April 23rd quick programming reminder for you NFL Draft Eve, baby. Yeah. What's up? Welcome to the show Wednesday, April 23rd. Quick programming reminder for you.
Starting point is 00:00:30 We will not have a typical Thursday morning show. We'll have a Friday morning show to an extent, because we're going to be on it like midnight, midnight right after the draft ends. You're going to hear the reaction from us on Thursday night, on Friday night, and then on Saturday. So every time a day of the NFL Draft wraps up, we will be here to tell you the winners and losers
Starting point is 00:00:48 and all the fantasy reaction. We haven't had a trade of a first round pick yet. It's pretty wild. Usually there's something that happens before this. Give me guys, give me a team you think that's gonna make a trade in the NFL Draft for a first round pick. It's gonna involve a first round pick, a big trade, and I'm not even gonna call on anybody.
Starting point is 00:01:06 You guys just call it out. Go, give me a team that's gonna make a trade. Giants. Tampa moves down. I heard Giants, I heard Tampa. Heath, what'd you say? I said Giants. Two, oh, what kind of,
Starting point is 00:01:17 what do you think the Giants are gonna do? Mara's gonna get pissed that they take Carter at three, and then he's going to call down and say, go get quarterback X who's still available, which is probably going to be Sanders. So you're going to make some dumb trade, maybe with Tampa and get back in the first round and draft Sanders.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Heath, what do you think the Giants are going to do? I thought they were going to trade back into round one to draft a quarterback. Yeah, same thing. Right, okay. Seems like it wouldn't be a huge surprise if Sanders is not the second quarterback off the board. Some Tyler Shuck buzz right now.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Round one. Probably should only be one quarterback. It's not a great draft, right? I mean, it's not, there are not 32 first round caliber players in this draft, right? Nope. There will be by the time we evaluate this, you know, three years from now.
Starting point is 00:02:10 But I think going into it, I mean, look, last year you had the excitement of the six quarterbacks, right? So this year it's not a quarterback friendly draft, especially with the drama taking out of it that Cam Ward's going to go one. So where does Sanders fall? Really the draft I think should start at four, you know, with New England. You know, the first three picks should be locked in barring a trade. You know, so you look at Hunter and Carter, like those guys should be no brainers after
Starting point is 00:02:34 Ward goes at one. And really what the Patriots are going to do it for, to me, is where it all starts to get interesting. I think it could be a great draft for our purposes. I mean, yes, running backs, the tight ends, there's some really exciting wide receivers. It's sounding more and more like Travis Hunter is going to be a wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I'm really, really, really getting amped up for these rookie picks. Yeah, baby. All right. Love that spin. All right, let me give me one draft pick or trade you'd like to see. That's what we're gonna talk about today.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Do have a lot of news and notes, including an update on Christian McCaffrey, on JJ McCarthy, on CJ Stroud. So we'll get to that in a minute. But today's topic is dream draft day fits. Dream draft day fits. I could have said that better. The best landing spots for both prospects. And maybe we'll talk about some veterans that could get moved as well. Jamie, give me one draft pick or trade that you'd like to see. One draft pick or trade. I'd like to see the Bears move up and get Ashton Gentry. Is that your favorite spot for Genty? I like it better than Jacksonville, which is what you're hearing a lot of now. M2,
Starting point is 00:03:37 you know, the Jags of five. I mean, ideally, yeah, I think it is, you know, I mean, just knowing that what the Bears have done with this offensive line, history of bears running backs when they're great, they're great. I yeah, that's my favorite spot for anybody. But I think I go Raiders, but or you know, I go Cowboys, we won't get there. Broncos. Broncos. You can take everything that Jamie said about the Bears and add Sean Payton in his track record with running backs. I'd rather him go there. Bears are a close second. I only fear the situation being like he shares in Denver with somebody stupidly.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Like, oh, we like estimate on short yardage or, you know, Dylan McAlphin is still going to be, you know, in the passing downs role. Or you know what? Hey, Tyler Beatty, Batty, whatever, in the passing down as well. Or, you know what? Hey, Tyler Beatty, baddie, whatever your name is. His name is a day. Uh, Blake Watson, you know, somebody stupid has some, some too many touches there because Sean Payton is Sean Payton. I just love that I yelled out bidet. Uh, I think Sean Payton, if he's making a big trade up to get Ashton Gentile, he's going to give Ashton Gentry like 80% of the workload. And I would, I would hope, see, I think, and look, Ben Johnson, obviously he's coming from
Starting point is 00:04:50 a situation where he shared, you know, two guys share the ball, but to me that situation is the best. That's just like, I can't even imagine what Denver would have to give up to get up to, like, are we saying they're going to trade to 10? Cause if they're trading up to like top six from 20, yeah, not that he's not making it to that. Jetty's not making it to 10. Yeah, I don't think he is either.
Starting point is 00:05:13 All right. So, but obviously Denver could pick a running backs in any, any, well, that was my favorite. That was my, my hope is, and I think we all, maybe all had somebody different for running back spot, but I'd love to see Trevion Henderson there if they can. Yeah. I mean, Gentie goes top 10 and Hampton goes before it gets to them. I think Henderson, he's going to have to share there, but he could fit into that
Starting point is 00:05:36 third down pass catching role and also have some explosive playmaking ability as a rusher if he has maybe, I don't know, 10 rush attempts per game and catches 75 passes. And so Henderson to the Broncos. And that's going to make a big difference in rookie drafts is how many of these running backs we get in round one. So I'm cheering for at least three of them. I think that's what we'll get. So Sean Payton has been a coach, a head coach for 17 seasons. What do you think the most amount of carries for a running back is? I'm going to give you a number. 250 over or under most running back carries, most carries for one single running back under
Starting point is 00:06:18 Sean Payton as a head coach over or under 250. I'll take the over, but it's not by a lot. over or under 250? I'll take the over, but it's not by a lot. I feel like Mark Ingram might've had 250 plus one season. So I'm gonna tell you that I would've loved to have time to fact check this, because I- Oh God. I think the answer is under, I think it's 244. Back in his first season,
Starting point is 00:06:43 the only like real workhorse was Camara. You just had to look this up, but you didn't check it. I did this research three years ago or whenever he got hired by the Broncos. So I just want to go back and make sure. And then I updated it with the last two years, but I don't think there's a single 250 carry running back. In 17 seasons, I've got five instances
Starting point is 00:07:01 of a running back getting 226 or more carries. However, we do have a 50 catch running back in 12 of 17 seasons. And it probably would have been 16 of 17 seasons if we didn't have injuries to guys like Reggie Bush. It was basically Reggie Bush every time getting hurt, Pierre Thomas getting hurt. So you're going to like it's a lock for 50 catches. The last two years,
Starting point is 00:07:22 Javante Williams said 50 and 52 catches. So that's that just always happens. In fact, no, no, sorry, Samajay P. Ryan had 50 catches two years ago. Javante had 52 last year. All right. So we've got Gentie to the Bears, Trevion Henderson to the Broncos. Dave, did you give one? Uh, Gentie to the Broncos. Oh, Gentile to the Broncos. Okay. Give me one of your veterans getting traded things. One of my veterans getting traded things. How about Kyle Pitts to the Seahawks?
Starting point is 00:07:57 Gets a fresh start out. Atlanta doesn't have to pay him or even entertain the idea of paying him. And he just goes to Seattle to play out the rest of his contract. And then he moves on after that. Does he crack your top 12 in the time? No. Okay. All right, listen, do you wanna win a spot
Starting point is 00:08:19 in the podcast league? We've already got over a hundred entries into this contest and it should be a lot more because like I said, it's important to practice patience here. See if there are some trades, fill this out tomorrow if you want. But here's the URL, go to tinyurl.com slash FFT 2025 draft. So here is the, our NFL draft contest where you're going to tell us the top 10 picks in order spell their names correctly. Don't have to worry about which team is selecting them. You just tell us who you think the top 10 picks are going to be in order.
Starting point is 00:08:52 The form says who will be the first pick will be the second pick and so on. And we'll take whoever has the most correct answers, you know, in order. And they're in the podcast. Like if there's a tie, there's a very funny tie breaker in there. So please go to tinyurl.com slash FFT 2025 draft. And remember full name and correct spelling is required for your entry to count one entry per person. So don't fill it out too early here, but don't wait too long. Got to do it before the draft starts.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Yes, sir. I've got the running back that went over 250 carers with Sean Payne. early here, but don't wait too long. Got to do it before the draft starts. Adam? Yes, sir. I've got the running back that went over 250 carries with Sean Payton. Who you got? Tiki Barber 2002. Sean Payton was the offensive coordinator of the Giants. I did not count that,
Starting point is 00:09:35 but was I right that nobody else did or? I think you're right. Yeah, I think 240 is the high and it was Kamara. Mark Ingram only had 230 as his high. Okay, check 2006. Somebody had 244 carries. It might have been Reggie Bush. I don't think it was. I'll check though. Yeah. 2006, the Saints, his first year. Okay. Let's take a break and we'll come back with the answer to this riddle and some important news and notes after this. Overheard just before the break, Dave went, oh.
Starting point is 00:10:07 I got the answer. what do you got? Deuce. Do you see a 244 Deuce McAllister? 244 in 15 games. So clearly he was pacing for over 250. Great. Great job by Thomas in the, in the private jet. What's he got? Yeah. Schaefer knew it. Schaefer knew it. Schaefer knew it.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Yeah. Very good. Very good. But in that same year, Reggie Bush had 88 catches. So, and 55 carries. Wow. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Maybe, maybe they just take Trevion Henderson and Quinshaw and Judkins. And, uh, we've got a couple of top 20 running backs, but it's interesting. You think if, if the Broncos draft Trevion Henderson, you're ballparking about 10 carries per game? That was a guess. Okay. Do you think he's capable of more than that? Yes. Yes. I just don't, I'm not sure that Sean Payton is capable of having a primary pass catching back who also has a huge role as a rusher as a rookie. Gotcha. All right. News and notes.
Starting point is 00:11:06 It's 10 carries a game spending a first round pick on that would be, it would be disappointing. Yeah. What a Camaro average is rookie. That's exactly what I was just going to look at. And they had more kangaroos. They had Adrian Peterson for four games, right? He averaged seven and a half rush attempts per game. And I think like if you told Sean Payton with the 20th pick overall, you're
Starting point is 00:11:29 going to get Alvin Kamara production. Even though he wasn't a first round pick, I think they'd be pretty happy with that. Yeah. For the next eight years. I'm telling you, if he goes, if Trevion Henderson goes to the Broncos, I'm pretty sure I'm taking it with a third pick in our dynasty draft In our city. That's a good good choice. Yeah over over Hampton to the Raiders. I Don't know
Starting point is 00:11:54 Probably prob. I don't know. I think I'm picking that draft Yeah, maybe I'll trade back. I think I'm taking a wide receiver All right news and notes Christian McCaffrey says he has zero restrictions. McCaffrey first round. He will be by the time we get to dress. Yes, McCaffrey, I'm not going to rank him that way, but he will be. I like that.
Starting point is 00:12:18 All right, here's the thing. We're going to take Gentie over McCaffrey, right? Let's revise the question. If Ashton Gentie over McCaffrey, right? Let's revise the question. If Ash and Gentie goes to the following teams, I would take him over Christian McCaffrey. Denver, Chicago, Dallas, probably Las Vegas as well. Denver, Chicago, Dallas, probably Las Vegas as well. Anyone disagree with that or want to add to it? Patriots or Giants if they surprise us.
Starting point is 00:12:56 What about the Jaguars? Could you imagine if the Giants did this? No. It'd be fantastic. It'd be the greatest night. Like I need a 50 point game from Cade Cunningham and the Giants take out and I like I'm not even on the Thursday night at midnight show but I'll be up there. So I wouldn't even mind it. I mean he's that good but no it's got to be Carter. I would mind it a little bit but anyway Jaguars if he goes to Jaguars, would you go Genty or McCaffrey?
Starting point is 00:13:27 Genty. Probably Genty. JJ McCarthy has no limitations. He missed 2024 with a tournament. That's good. CJ Stroud is going to have more pre-snap responsibilities. All right. Let this man work. It's good. Let's worsen your offensive line. You don't have one of your best receivers, but hey, do more. Yeah, he should. Well, you know, do more before the snap, right? The Jaguars head coach, Liam Cohen, he was asked about his potential number two wide receiver. He mentioned Parker Washington and Diyami Brown. Got to figure they're going to draft someone. I think they're going to draft someone, but I hope like for people who are making roster cuts in deeper dynasty leagues or maybe even regular dynasty leagues, depending on what you think that is, like Parker Washington, someone who may be on your chopping block.
Starting point is 00:14:16 And I'd like to wait until we get through Friday before I make that decision. I would like to Jaguars to trade down and take Tyler Warren or Loveland, I guess. The Jaguars like to trade down and have the option to take Tyler Warren. Yeah. Let's see. Albert Brewer of Sports Illustrated who reports that there's some buzz about maybe James and Williams getting traded. James Cook is not at the voluntary OTAs.
Starting point is 00:14:42 George Kittle is not at voluntary OTAs. George Kittle is not at voluntary OTAs. Kirk Cousins is at voluntary OTAs. Jalen Warren signed a one-year $5.3 million deal. The Steelers, More Steelers News GM Omar Khan says he thinks DK Metcalf and George Pickens will be exciting for everyone to watch. So he's basically saying Pickens is going to be on the team. The Eagles gave their center Cam Juergens
Starting point is 00:15:04 a four-year $68 million extension. The Titans are going to stay at number one. And Ashton Gentey was asked up where he thinks he'll be drafted and he said he thinks he'll go between pick six and 12. And of course, Jacksonville has picked five. So maybe he needs to amend it to five to 12, but he expects to be drafted very early.
Starting point is 00:15:23 All right, we'll go to our fantasy wishlist here. You guys told me some destinations that you'd like to be drafted very early. All right, we'll go to our fantasy wish list here. You guys told me some destinations that you'd like to see for rookies. Dave gave us veterans. Heath, you already mentioned Trevion Henderson to the Broncos, but what about his backfield mate Quincheon Judkins? I like Quincheon Judkins to the Bears in round two.
Starting point is 00:15:40 We had Matt Waldman on FFT dynasty earlier this month. He has Judkins as his number two running back in the class and the, the, by far the best rusher besides Gentie. I think he could fit very well in year one with Deandre Swift playing that Deandre Swift role that he played in Detroit. Judkins could have a double digit touchdown season and eventually just be the clear number one running back for Ben Johnson. I'm going to be 100% honest with you.
Starting point is 00:16:12 I was listening to that episode yesterday and I didn't get to Judkins. I'm like, I'd be the best part of that episode. So I'm on Hampton and Henderson now. That's been the interesting thing about it. We just finished Tuesday. We did tight ends. We've done all the positions now. So if you go FFT dynasty, wherever you listen to podcasts, you can hear all the positions.
Starting point is 00:16:34 But the interesting thing was the way I organized it was we went one through six by consensus. But a lot of times the guy who I was talking to did not agree with that order. So it took us a while to get to Judkins because he's not a top three back by consensus, but he is the number two back for Walden. I hate that. I feel like there's a stats versus film fight when it comes to Judkins. Cause when you watch him play strong physical runner, you notice on film that he doesn't have breakaway speed, but he can do pretty much everything else that you asked for. You just wish that he would use his agility
Starting point is 00:17:09 a little bit more to make guys miss. He's a little bit more physical. You look at the stats and Adam, we've talked about this with Judkins, his stats are gross. You see the lack of explosiveness in his numbers, the yards per carry. You pointed out how Trevion Henderson has a better yards per carry average than Judkins did last year. And Judkins was in a completely different offense the year before, and he still didn't have a good rushing average. He was playing a little hurt, I think, in his second year at Ole Miss, but still.
Starting point is 00:17:36 There were moments where he looked great, but on film it's different than what the stats say. Well, I think that's interesting dichotomy and it's gonna be an interesting case to follow in his first couple of years in the league. Yep. Yeah, no, I was saying I don't like this. I was ready to be kind of lower on Judkins
Starting point is 00:17:56 and then he's saying that Matt Whitman has him second. All right, how about another Buckeye? Emeka Buka to the Packers. Is that good? You know, we have not had in two seasons of Jordan Love, we have not had a 100 target receiver. Last year we had four guys have between 70 and 76 targets for the Packers.
Starting point is 00:18:18 So it's interesting. It's like, I love Jordan Love. I love this offense. But is it a good destination for a wide receiver Heath? It has not been. I am hopeful, like we've heard a little bit of talk about Green Bay maybe wanting a number one wide receiver. Josh Jacobs certainly thinking they need
Starting point is 00:18:36 a number one wide receiver. I think if they used a first round pick on Iqbuqa, he would be their best wide receiver and certainly in terms of earning targets. And I think he would break that mold. How many Packers receivers in the last four years have averaged seven or more targets per game? I'd say zero.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Well, there was an Adam season in there, right? Yes. Okay. So one. One. And it's Devante 10.6 targets per game in 2021. But I just, literally the last three seasons, the next best target getter, at least on a per game basis, is Alan Lazard at 6.7. I've talked about this. Like I think when you're doing that and it's working, then you're much more likely to stick with that than when you do that and Jordan Love has a down year.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Look at the graphics. We've already got a buka on the Packers. I love it. That's fantastic. Well, also they were one of the most run heavy teams in the league last year and that has been a departure third highest run rate in the NFL last year, fourth and running back carries, but usually they're a very balanced offense and four of six seasons under Matt LaFleur, they're usually right around 15th in pass attempts and then right around there and running back rush attempts. They're very balanced.
Starting point is 00:19:55 So that's one of the reasons why you didn't have any 80 target guys last year. They didn't throw the ball very much. But I do think that- They have good players. Maybe Ibuka would be the best guy, maybe, but they have good players, right? Like they still need to get Reid going. They still need to get Dobbs and Kravitz. So I don't think I want to see these guys end up on the Packers personally. I don't want to see this either, but you know, like to Heath's point,
Starting point is 00:20:19 it and this is what I was getting at. Like their guys are good, but they're probably not great. Like Jayden Reed might be great, Christian Watson might be great, but they just haven't shown it consistently yet. You get the guy, you use the guy, and he might be the guy, Ibuka. So that would be the hope. Again, it's kind of like Sean Payton going,
Starting point is 00:20:43 if the Broncos were to trade up, you're not trading up to give a guy 10 carries per game. You know, you're trading up hopefully to give him, you know, a pretty significant workload. If they're making a move like this for a team that during Aaron Rodgers' entire tenure, they don't draft a wide receiver in the first round, like this is going to probably be a first round pick
Starting point is 00:20:59 if they're going to do something like this. Last Packers receiver drafted in the first round? Javon Walker. Correct. Wow. 2002. All right. Luther Burden to the Dolphins.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Is this, are you hoping for a Tyree kill trade? Well, I mean, I don't know if it even takes a trade at this point, but I want him to be somewhere with a creative play caller that doesn't think that he has to run all the traditional routes to be a superstar. Cause I think Luther Burden has superstar abilities and maybe he's better at some of the routes that we didn't get to see at Missouri, but it sounds like there's quite a bit of question about that in the NFL circles. And I think that you put them in a Mike McDaniel offense, especially with this recent turn towards lower ADOT
Starting point is 00:21:53 and Birdon could be an absolute superstar. Where is there a destination for Birdon that would be like that, but with less target competition where he might be able to contribute more immediately. What about Houston? There'd be less target competition in Buffalo. I'd be worried about Houston being that team this year because they just got Kirk. But after this year, sure. I mean, I know we're all pretty excited about Juan Jennings and Ricky Piercel, but it's
Starting point is 00:22:29 San Francisco. Yeah. They replaced one Debo with another. If you got the second round, I think Giants would be a good spot. Maybe they've already got one deal. Yeah, whatever. Yeah. Well, for the half the games of the season that Wondell's out for, they could use burden. What about the jets? If you liked, um, once they get a better quarterback
Starting point is 00:22:50 situation, what about that's the guy that I'd love to have teaming up with Garrett Wilson. Yeah, it's a good call. But, uh, Schaefer says, what about the Patriots? Patriots definitely need a, I know they have digs, but they could use a number one receiver. What do you think about the Patriots? Anybody to the Patriots. Yeah, he could lead the Patriots and targets. Yeah. All right. And then this one would be for 2026 and beyond, I guess, Harold Fanon to the Chiefs. Yeah. And he is one of my favorite players in terms of where I rank him versus consensus. Led all of FBS, not just tight ends in both receptions and receiving yards,
Starting point is 00:23:35 kind of an untraditional, I guess, mover. And some of the athletic testing isn't fantastic, but if you put him in round three, let him play alongside Travis Kelsey for a year, and then just be the number one tight end in Kansas City, I'd love it. All right, let's go over to Jamie's fantasy wish lists. He's got Ashton Gentey to the Bears. He's got Omarion Hampton.
Starting point is 00:23:58 So you have, here's my question. I'm gonna read your top four. I'm gonna read your four running backs, right? Gentie to the Bears, Omarion Hampton, those of you who don't know, he's a bigger guy. He can catch passes, he can pass protect. There was a good debate about his pass protection skills
Starting point is 00:24:15 on the Dynasty podcast, but he could be a three down back to the Broncos. Trevion Henderson, who's a smaller guy, not necessarily an every down running back, but a great pass catcher, explosive player, going to the Raiders and Quinshaw Judkins going to the Cowboys. Does it matter which team? Like, do you care which player goes to which team or do you just want to see Bears, Broncos, Raiders, Cowboys, investing early in a running back?
Starting point is 00:24:47 It does matter. But yes, these are the teams I think that have the biggest needs for those positions, for that position. Okay, so how would you rank them if these came true? I know Genty would be one. Genty to the Bears, Hampton to the Broncos, Henderson to the Raiders, Judkins to the Cowboys. How would you rank them? Like that. Genty to the Bears, Hampton to the Broncos, Henderson to the Raiders, Judkins to the Cowboys. How would you rank them? Like that.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Gentie to the Bears, Hampton to the Broncos, Henderson to the Raiders, Judkins to the Cowboys. It's interesting, Henderson to the Raiders. What kind of workload do you think he would get if they took him, like, I can't imagine they're gonna take him with, what do they have, the seventh? So this was a round two pick. Okay, so this would be a round two pick for them.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Yeah, what's your outlook there for him? Because I think the Raiders is a great spot just given the history of Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly. But what do you think about this smaller running back compared to the other three guys and Trevion Henderson? I think the pro is that Chip Kelly's worked with him. The con is that Chip Kelly's worked with him. Because clearly, Chip Kelly did not give him the feature role like we would have liked to see. So it was capping his workload.
Starting point is 00:25:53 So does that carry over to the NFL? But also, it's clearly somebody that knows him and maybe knows, hopefully, that he's capable of more. And we give him a little bit of an extra opportunity to prove that on the next level, especially by investing in early second round picking them. So it really comes down to who is going to be the second guy with Henderson. So is it Zameer White?
Starting point is 00:26:12 Is it Sincer McCormick? Is it somebody else they're bringing? Is this one of those situations that Emory was talking about, Emory Hunt, who we had on last week about teams doubling up on backfields? And this is one that can get overhauled and would not surprise me by any stretch, just given the guys that they have there on their current roster. If they bring in two rookies, is it, let's say, somehow Caleb Johnson falls and we're looking at Henderson and Caleb Johnson because they take him in the fourth round or whatever
Starting point is 00:26:37 power back you want to throw there that might be of interest to the Raiders and having that one-two punch. So I still think Henderson's got an opportunity here to be a three-down guy, certainly somebody that can work on passing downs and hopefully show off his explosiveness. So yeah, he would be in the conversation to be two, knowing that Sean Payton may not use Hampton the way that we want him to use Hampton. But at the same time, there's, you know, big opportunity for all of these guys if they end up as featured backs, which is what we expect.
Starting point is 00:27:10 All right, so again, it was Gentie to the Bears, Hampton to the Broncos, Henderson to the Raiders, Quinshawn, Judkins to the Cowboys. Travis Hunter to the Patriots. That would be fun, unlikely, but that would be fun. Matthew Golden to the Texans. What made you settle be fun. Matthew Gold into the Texans. What made you settle on that one, Gold into the Texans? I think just knowing what Tank Del was and what they kind of are missing right now.
Starting point is 00:27:34 I mean, Nico Collins obviously is an alpha and should be able to dominate no matter who's playing with him as we've seen over the last couple of seasons. Christian Kirk, Dave alluded to this, more of a short area target guy that will play in the slot, especially what D'Amico Ryan said, that that's kind of how they view him, seeing what he can do in that role. I think Golden can be an outside threat that can make some big plays and not have to worry about necessarily being a go-to guy but still be productive. Again, very similar to what Tankdale has been for the Texans and for CJ Stroud.
Starting point is 00:28:05 I think this is a team that is going to invest in a wide receiver. At what point in the draft will be the telltale of how we view these guys. But it would not shock me if they look at it and say, as Dave alluded to, Kirk's on a short-term deal. No Tank Del maybe for who knows how long. Hopefully he's back sooner than later, but that was devastating injury. And so do they sort of restock the cupboard a little bit at that position and get a significant playmaker who, you know, is, you know, for the most
Starting point is 00:28:34 part, been in their backyard. I think Golden to the Texans, Travis under the Patriots. And then we got a couple of literally in their back or he's from Houston. Uh, well, not literally in their backyard, cause that would be like, he'd be like in their backyard. He's from Houston. Well, not literally in their backyard. Cause that would be like, he'd be like in their back, you know, in the owner's backyard. You know, that would be bad. Colston Loveland to the Chargers,
Starting point is 00:28:54 Mason Taylor to the Dolphins. I'm really excited to see, oh, that'll be fun. That'd be a nice little family storyline there. Colston Loveland- I was debating it was either gonna be Taylor or Gatston just for the time. There you go. All right, Loveland to the Chargers, Mason Taylor to the Dolphins. Yeah, I'm so excited to see where these tight ends end up.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Unfortunately, there's so much, you know, the Colts taking Loveland or Warren. I don't think we want that necessarily, but the Chargers- The two scenarios that are gonna be frustrating, but you could see where they make sense is if the Jets take Warren and the Colts take Lovlin. Yeah. Right. That's... Not to be fair. That would suck. Justin Fields, I know it was Tyler Bajin helping as well, but Justin Fields did have Colt Comet's
Starting point is 00:29:34 best season in 2023. You know, so and I think we all agree that Warren's a better prospect coming into the league than Colt Comet was. So, would not be surprised if Fields can still get some great production out of Warren knowing that the receiving corps is just miserable behind Garrett Wilson right now. The Colt situation, again, does a guy that can be a little bit more successful in the middle of the field, especially a bigger target because their tight end play has been sort of uninspiring from one guy. But if you look at what Richardson has done with the group of tight ends that he's played with, combine those numbers, it's not awful. So again, prospect goes there, then prospect like this goes there, whether it's one of
Starting point is 00:30:19 those two guys. The hope would be that what Richardson has done this off season working with Josh Allen's quarterback coach or Daniel Jones, that that player can still be somewhat productive, maybe just not to the high end potential that we see that they have if they went to a better team. I'll be interested if, because Jacob yesterday on the tight end preview likes Loveland more than Warren. And I'll be interested if Warren goes to one of these places
Starting point is 00:30:45 like the Colts or the Jets that we're not super excited about and Loveland goes to the Chargers if that becomes a more popular opinion. If who, if Warren goes to the Jets. If Loveland's with Justin Herbert and Warren's in a spot that we don't really like. Yeah, yeah. Well, there's a fraction of people
Starting point is 00:31:02 that think Loveland's the better prospect. Yeah. And that's the, you know, I know Adams putting the Hall of Fame already, Warren, but he is. Yeah, there's a, this is clearly a landing spot conversation. So if that happens, then yes, you know, I think we will be looking at it and saying, okay, and it might not just be these two, you know, it could be your guy from Bowling Green, it could be Mason Taylor, It could be my guy from Miami, Elijah Ruyo. Yeah, you know, that at least for one season, they end up being the better player. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Um, okay. I remember Brock Bowers having poor quarterback play all the way back in 2024. Yeah, that's a good point. I, I, but I don't, I know it's not the same thing because he, having poor quarterback play all the way back in 2024. Yeah, that's a good point. I know it's not the same thing because he was effectively their number one receiver. And I'd have a hard time believing that any tight end with the Jets or the Colts would be the top target getter with those teams.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Yeah, so he also had the, I do want to talk about the Raiders because they had the fourth most pass attempts in the NFL last year. And I just wonder what that offense is going to look like now with two coaches who are historically lean run heavy. But I went back, I looked at Pete Carroll every year in Seattle, right? Because sometimes they were the most run heavy team in the NFL, but they also had a four or a five year stretch They had a top three defense In fact, I think they were number one in defense four years in a row not gonna be the case with the Raiders So these these coaches want to run the ball
Starting point is 00:32:33 Chip Kelly and Pete Carroll, but when the Seahawks Regressed defensively when they became either kind of just an average or below average defense They actually threw the ball a decent amount, you know, not top four, but top half of the league basically. So I do think it's kind of interesting if the Raiders bring in Tett McMillan, let's say, and they have a huge decrease in past times, like they, I think worst case scenario for Bowers, maybe no one cares, maybe he's so good, no one cares, would be McMillan in round one, and a running back in early round two. And they are more committed to the run
Starting point is 00:33:08 and they have a more target competition. And I wonder if that would change anything. Pat, can you check running back in round two? I actually am thinking a good rusher because they couldn't run the ball last year, right? They had terrible running backs. So if they have a guy that could actually put them in the top half of the week.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Amir Abdullah was awesome. Yeah, helped some people in the fantasy half. Amir Abdullah was awesome. Yeah, helped up some people in the fantasy playoffs, but you know what I'm saying. I think to your point, Adam, like, yes, it could impact Bowers. I think really the only thing where that comes into play is if you're on the fence between Bowers and McBride. 100%.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Yeah. But I'll give you one more scenario where maybe says another guy that could, well, Kittle could, right? Like Kittle's so good, but you know, I was gonna draft him ahead. What if Mark Andrews gets traded? I'd be excited to talk about that. And I think we're gonna talk about that
Starting point is 00:33:51 when we look at Dave's veterans who could be on the move. Mark Andrews, ooh, yeah, it's a juicy destination for him. We're gonna take one more break. We'll be right back on Fantasy Football. Before we do that though, just one more reminder, tinyurl.com slash FFT 2025 draft, tinyurl.com slash FFT 2025 draft. Submit your picks there. We'll be right back. So Dave took the veteran approach. Let's see which veterans could be on the move and how
Starting point is 00:34:18 that would affect fantasy. And if Mark Andrews gets traded to a good spot, it would be great, I think, for the tight end position because it would be a boost for Andrews and it would be a boost for Isaiah likely. This would be great. Dave, where do you want to see him go? Let's get them reunited with Greg Roman in LA with the Chargers. And then the Chargers don't have to go and spend a first round pick on a tight end. I mean, they could, but why would they if they're going to acquire Mark Andrews or maybe they miss out on both of them and that's their plan C is to go and just trade away of, you know, round three, round four, probably round four. Keith, would you take a fourth rounder for Mark Andrews
Starting point is 00:34:59 just to get them off your team? No. I don't know why you'd want to get him off your team. He's very, very good. I understand. But I take a third round. If you're able to unload a contract and you know you're not going to extend him and you can get a draft pick for him. Maybe, maybe. If I was the Ravens, I would view myself as a contender this year. Right. That's the thing. It's like you're still very much a strong Super Bowl contender. Do you want to strip down anything that's worked for you?
Starting point is 00:35:31 That's fair. But let's say they don't feel that way and they're going to harbor ill feelings over how their season ended. And Mark Andrews moves on. I'm not saying, listen, we're dreaming here, right Adam? So putting Andrews on the chargers gives him fantasy life. And it makes Isaiah likely a good fantasy tight end as well. Makes the position stronger, deeper, cooler.
Starting point is 00:35:54 It just, it just kills the Tyler Conklin narrative. That would be, that would be terrible. Um, yeah, I, I think this is one of the few spots where Andrews could get traded, where I would be as excited or more excited about him. I mean, he had 69 targets in 17 games last year. He caught 90% of his end zone targets, nine out of 10. He's never had a year where he's caught one. What?
Starting point is 00:36:22 The one in the playoffs, the two point conversion. Oh yeah, I guess he said his gloves were very wet when he dropped that ball. But I just think that there's no chance. He scored 11 touchdowns, he led the position in touchdowns and he was tight end eight per game in PPR. Six per game in non, seven per game in half. I don't want him on the Ravens anymore.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Like I don't know if he would get 69 targets again. That's very low, but I don't know that he would get more than that. They clearly like flowers and they like Bateman and they like lively and they don't throw that much. So I want him off the Ravens. And they added Hopkins who could be an end zone threat. Yeah. And maybe, maybe it's an age thing
Starting point is 00:37:02 or maybe it's just the way they want to go. I would just say like it was one year and you did have, it was the car crash in the training camp, right? Yeah. Um, and the year before he was on pace for 104 targets the year before that, he had 113 and 15 games. I just, I'm not sure I'm ready to say after one season of bad target volume, that's just what it is in Baltimore.
Starting point is 00:37:25 What do you have in particular? Uh, 85 90. Like that seems fair to me. Yeah, right. 69 does seem low. Um, and then remember there was, there were two games back to back weeks, three and four where he had no catches on one target. And then after that, let's see if I have his pace after that. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:37:45 last 13 games, he was on pace for 78 targets, 14 touchdown pace in those 13 games. Well, per 17 games, but he had 11 touchdowns in those last 13 games after being completely uninvolved and we were ever, you know, should we drop them? Should we drop them? And no, I hope you didn't drop him. But I, but I- They save them 11 million bucks if they trade them. Right. Without any, you know, taking some of the money that they've guaranteed them.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I just think the other angle is, is not just about Andrews, it's also about Lively. You know, I think we want to see him get an opportunity to be fantasy relevant. Yeah, for sure. All right, Dave, you've got the Steelers making a move. And who do you have going to the Steelers? It's not sexy, but Derek Carr or Kirk Cousins, we know that
Starting point is 00:38:34 potentially available. And Aaron Rodgers seems like he's dealing with some stuff off the field that's slowing him down to make a decision with the Steelers. So maybe Pittsburgh gives up next to nothing to acquire either of those quarterbacks and they go into the season with one of them under center. And the only reason why there's even mild appeal is because of who they're throwing to. They've got a nice combo there with Metcalf and Pickens. You can throw in Freyrmuth, Jalen Moore and he'll catch some passes out of the
Starting point is 00:39:00 backfield, it's not a bad receiving court for. So any quarterback that goes there, certainly in two QB leagues, that makes them mildly appealing as a number two QB. I don't think either of them would get drafted into one QB. I don't think Rogers would get drafted in a one QB. But it gives them a little bit of life and it certainly provides at least a veteran presence, a quarterback for their two studly receivers. You were saying lively, weren't you? Yeah, like 100%. I said, I said it.
Starting point is 00:39:32 You're saying lively. What is with me? Lively? I thought I thought the first time like that. I hear it right. I said it multiple times. Yeah, you did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Wow. That's very strange. It's okay. Let's talk about Kurt Buzzens. And he said something very interesting about Kurt Cousins. He said he hurt his shoulder and his elbow in week 10, and it affected him going forward. And he had just thrown seven touchdowns in his previous two games at Tampa Bay in Dallas.
Starting point is 00:40:04 His first nine games he completed 69% of his passes, 7.9 yards per attempt. Then, hurt his elbow in his shoulder, last five games he completed 63% of his passes, 7.5 yards per attempt. He was on pace for three touchdowns and 31 interceptions and he lost his job. So I did want to bring that up.
Starting point is 00:40:21 It's not like Cousins was so good. He was very limited. His mobility was non-existent, but he was a lot better before what he says was an injury that he sustained. So maybe he's not completely cooked. All right, Dave, running backs. You got Ken Walker to the Raiders. You got Travis Etienne to the Patriots. You got Chris Olave to the... Oh, he's not a running back. Ken Walker. I'm Ron Burgundy. Ken Walker to the writers. Travis, it's the end of the Patriots. You think these, something like this could happen? Well, these are two running backs that are in their final year of their contract and
Starting point is 00:40:56 we have a new coaching regime in Seattle. I think Zach Charbonnet is a great fit for what Clint Kubiak wants to do as far as having a guy that's versatile and catch the ball in the backfield. There were times last year where it was so obvious, at least to me, that Zach Charbonnet was the better running back for Seattle. They should have gone with him down the stretch instead of Ken Walker. And Walker was beat up. That could have been part of it. But I think that there's a path here for if Seattle wanted to kind of make a change at running back, you get rid of Ken Walker, you keep Shaq Sharbunny, you make him the lead guy, you draft another running back. And maybe in that case, Pete Carroll's got a guy that he's trusted, that he can use as
Starting point is 00:41:35 a stopgap running back and maybe even potentially pay him, someone who's familiar with his quarterback. Then you don't have to go and spend that second round pick on a running back. Maybe that's an option for them if they don't get Ash and Gentie. And we would love any running back that goes to Las Vegas. Walker would be one of those guys. So I think that would actually be great for Walker if he's in a situation where he's not sharing with Zach Charbonneau. Maybe the Raiders don't spend anything more than a round four pick on a running
Starting point is 00:42:02 back to go behind Ken Walker, ETN to the Patriots, that's just a guy who could work on passing downs and kind of be relegated to a smaller role and be a plan B for the Patriots if Ramadre Stevenson can't fix his fumbling issue. I think it's going to be fascinating to see if Genti goes to the Jaguars or if there's another one of these veterans that get significant competition, is there any trade market for any of these guys? So like ETN's the one that's been thinking about this just with all the potential of Genti going there.
Starting point is 00:42:34 What would the Jaguars take to give up ETN as sort of like their 1B or backup knowing that Tank Bigsby could certainly fill that role. So seventh round pick, sixth round pick, like would they consider that? Because I can't imagine the team's going to offer much more knowing that he is in a final year of his deal is certainly underperformed and how loaded this class is that you can still get somebody on day three that may have more upside and you have more control with their contract than trading for ETN who hopefully will still have an opportunity someplace else. And then you spend that forward a
Starting point is 00:43:10 little bit to like JK Dobbin is still out there, Nick Chubb is still out there. Where do they end up after this draft knowing that there's going to be so many players from this draft class populating around the league? Oh man, I would absolutely love Ken Walker to the to the Raiders. So let's just say Ken Walker to the Raiders. And they decided to just cancel the NFL draft this year. No other running backs are going to these teams. Sorry, the rookies are just gonna have to wait till next year. Would you rat draft? Would you rather have Walker on the Raiders or Sharpen a on Seattle?
Starting point is 00:43:43 Would you rather have Walker on the Raiders or Charbonne on Seattle? Walker. I think it's Walker. I think it's Walker, but I think it would be very close. I mean, I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I imagine Charbonne is averaging at least 15 points per game in games without Ken Walker. He's been so good. I might have it. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Chris Olave to the Bills, Jacobi Myers to the Cowboys, a couple of wide receiver trades. How about Jacobi? How about Olave to the Cowboys? No, I like that. Olave to the Bills, Myers to the Cowboys. All right, Dave, that's fun. Cowboys say they're going to do something. They say they're going to be aggressive. I would hate the Myers move. How come? Because right now he's the number one receiver for the Raiders and he'd be going to the something that they say they're gonna I would hate the Myers move.
Starting point is 00:44:26 I'll come. Because right now he's the number one receiver for the Raiders and he'd be going to the number two guy for the Cowboys. Would you say he's still number two on targets? Is he is he really the number one on the Raiders though? He's number one receiver. Yes. Right. But if he's still number two behind Bowers, is it that different than being number two behind Lamb? It is, right?
Starting point is 00:44:46 Yeah. Much. I'd rather him stay in his current role while assuming nobody... Let's go back to your cancel the NFL draft. If we're keeping him there or moving him to the Cowboys, I'd rather him stay with the Raiders. And I know the Raiders threw a lot of passes. I believe it was the fourth most in the NFL last year, but like as the number two in Las
Starting point is 00:45:07 Vegas, he was on pace for 158 targets over his last 10 games. That's a lot. That's very much a lot. So Myers is in the last year of his deal. Olave is in his fourth year. Do the Saints pick up the fifth year option on Olave? I would, but what if they don't? If they don't, then that means that they're basically telegraphing that it's a make or break year for him if he stays in New Orleans. Or can they get something good in trade for him and then Buffalo goes and they get the field
Starting point is 00:45:44 structure that they've been looking for and a potential number one receiver in a lobby provided that he can say healthy that buyers. It's definitely a downgrade for Myers because I still think CD lamb is going to get his. But we could see some serious target funnel edge where lamb and Myers get everything, whoever that number two receiver is in Dallas is going to get a lot. The tight ends maybe get phased out and the Jalen Tolberts and Cavante Terpens
Starting point is 00:46:10 of their world get phased down a little bit. I think it would be okay for Myers, probably no better than a low-end number three receiver. Whereas right now, before the draft, Myers is a high-end number three receiver in Las Vegas Now if you're if you're spinning this forward and the Raiders are drafting Let's say McMillan or they're getting you know one or two receivers then absolutely get Myers out of Las Vegas and let him be the number two guy in Dallas Yeah, so as of right now how many of the rookie wide receivers if they were drafted by the Dallas Cowboys of the rookie wide receivers if they were drafted by the Dallas Cowboys do you think would be better than say Jacobi Myers if he were the number two receiver on the Dallas Cowboys? Next year? Yeah. None. I mean if they got
Starting point is 00:46:57 McMillan at first of all I think that would be weird if they got McMillan. I can't believe you said none. I'm so surprised. Obviously, like hunt, you wouldn't take Hunter? Oh, Hunter. Yeah, sorry. That's not realistic, though. No, it's not. But I'm just curious. I'm just putting this class in perspective on
Starting point is 00:47:13 you're saying you're saying the Cowboys take Macmillan or the Cowboys trade for Myers. Yes. Yes. Right. I would take Myers for this year. Wow. Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Oh, wow. Dave triple. No, I think I'd probably take McMillan. Okay. And as much as I love golden, I don't know if I could take golden. What about a Buca? I would take at least five guys, I think.
Starting point is 00:47:38 I think Jacobi Meyers. Over Meyers? Okay. I think he's such a non-upside guy. He's- I don't disagree with that, but I think just for one year adjusting to the league, being the second guy, he played in the slot,
Starting point is 00:47:48 like I have no problem with him over those guys. I don't think anybody has huge upside if they're playing next to CDLAM as a rookie. I mean, I kind of, not huge upside, but they really don't have anyone else, right? It's, you could see a guy go in there and get 110 targets maybe, something like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:09 If they throw as much as they have in the last couple of years, yes. And that's also contingent on them not being able to run the ball. Yeah, Myers just doesn't really do any, he doesn't do anything after the catch. He just, he's not a downfield threat. Whereas Luther Burden is both of those things, for example.
Starting point is 00:48:25 And I would say we'd have a much lower floor, but could actually have a much bigger impact than a guy like Myers. I only ask that because I guess I wanted to know if we kind of know who Jacoby Myers is. I just want to know how you guys feel about this receiver class. Who has the potential to be more than that as a rookie? And it doesn't seem like you guys feel like they're that many. Well, I mean, you're putting it in a very small scenario here of what the upside play is.
Starting point is 00:48:52 And so again, these guys going to be the number two receiver versus a guy who's sort of been that and I think could adjust to, certainly has adjusted to a lot of different play callers, would adjust to playing with a veteran quarterback, would different play callers, you know, would adjust to playing with a veteran quarterback would adjust to going to a new system would adjust to being a complimentary, you know, option like, you know, I don't know how much those guys will fit into that. I don't see a lot of opportunities for receivers to come in and be the number one guy to you. Hunter aside.
Starting point is 00:49:21 It I guess it depends like how you view Judy. Let's just say Hunter goes to the Browns, right? Does he automatically become better than what Judy's been? The Raiders, I mean, again, we're talking about these guys comparing them in Dallas. The Raiders can certainly draft one of these guys as well and they can be better than Myers. New England, especially knowing that Stephon Diggs is coming off, I think CLTarren is 31, so they can be better than Myers. New England, especially knowing that Stefan Diggs is coming off, you know, ACL Terran is 31, you know, so they can be better there. But yeah, it's not exactly like an open market for, you know, finding a number one receiver. But again, going back to like his point with, you know, Abu Kuh going to the Packers, like
Starting point is 00:49:57 when you have a team that has no real number one guy, you know, so any of these guys could walk in and I should say, I think it's really more like McMillan, maybe Golden, maybe Obuka, you know, like do those guys automatically become the alpha of their receiving court? Buffalo? And for what it's worth, like we saw Jacobi Myers two years ago as the number two behind Devonte Adams who had 175 targets that year. And Myers averaged 13 fantasy points per game playing with Aiden O'Connell and Jimmy Garoppolo.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Good call. Yeah. So I think playing with Dak Prescott, he could get close to 14. Yeah. Okay. And Dave, you've got Kyle Pitts. Yes. Can be a number one receiver. Who's that? Carolina. Yep.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Kyle Pitts to the Seahawks. We talked about Mark Andrews to the Chargers, Dallas Goddard to the Saints. Familiarity and Kellen Moore's offense and an opportunity to play as often as he did in Philadelphia on a team that doesn't have as many targets or at least prominent targets. Not exciting. What's worse for Dallas Goddard? Because I've kind of thought Dallas Goddard to the Colts obviously makes sense because the connection to the coaching staff.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Is the Colts worse than the Saints for a tight end? Are the Colts worse than the Saints? I would say so. I think you go to the Saints, you could potentially be the number two pass catcher there for at least a better thrower. Who's the quarterback? Assuming it's Carr. Oh, if it's Carr, I'd much rather be on the Saints, but I don't know if it's going to
Starting point is 00:51:40 be Carr. What if it's a rookie? Yeah. Sanders, Dard. I'd rather go to the Colts. You'd rather go to the Colts? going to be car. What if it's a rookie? Yeah. Sanders, dark. I, I'd rather go to the Colts. I wouldn't. I'm not sure Michael Pittman and Josh Downs are that much bigger target competition than Chris Alavi and Rashid Shahid and the saints have Alvin Camara.
Starting point is 00:52:01 I think he'd be asked to block more in Indy. Why are we putting him on this team? It's like, gosh, what, where do you want to send him? What did Dallas got her do to you? Just send everyone to the chargers. I think that's what all I see him go to the charge. Yeah, Mark Andrews is there. I actually think the Giants, they need to upgrade their receiving core in some capacity and it's either going to be receiver or tight end, but I could see them
Starting point is 00:52:25 being in the market for, for, you know, they got a washed up quarterback, they might as well get a washed up tight end to go along with them. I mean, what did we do to Dallas gutter? I'd rather go to the Giants than, than the Saints or the Colts. Well, I mean, they brought up pits to Seattle. I mean, Seattle's not exactly got a slam dunk starter with no fan.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Seattle's a great opportunity. Jackson dunk starter with no fan. Seattle's great. Jacksonville is a great opportunity. Absolutely. All right, guys. You ready for this week? Oh, so excited. Yes, I am excited. By the way, Heath, I know you took a shot at the Knicks there, but I hope we all have some Florida Panthers fever. We beat the crap out of our arch rival last night and it was awesome. Great. That's my favorite hockey team.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Yeah, I don't, you know what, Jamie, I'm in. I got, I was in-ish last year. I'm more in. I think I can name like 13 players. That's kind of good. It's kind of a lot. Like, I feel like I'm a fan now. Did you have an opportunity to go to a game
Starting point is 00:53:22 and you said no? No, I went. You went to a, didn't you have the opportunity to go to a Stanley Cup game and you said no? No, I don't think so. There was something. I didn't mean to take a shot at the Knicks. I just, like this, man, it's every night we got three great games with superstars from the past eras and superstars like Cade Cunningham from the current era. Cade Cunningham is pretty amazing. But the playoffs have been kind of crap so far. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:53:51 How many close games have there been? The Nixon Pistons has been okay. I forgot about that rule. No, I mean, what's been good about the playoffs? The Clippers. It's been good. Not good. That's been great.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Great series there. The first round, the first round, I have low expectations for the first round anyway. You know, but, yeah. Oh, it's a Golden State game tonight? Yeah. I'm looking forward to it. Celtics magic without Tatum.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Yeah. Definitely out. Well, maybe not. He should be. I believe they are 0-2 without him against. Yep. Did you see the series odds for that series? Maybe not, he should be. I believe they are 0-2 without him against. Yep, imagine. Did you see the series odds for that series? Minus 10,000?
Starting point is 00:54:32 It was minus 5,000. And just for reference, the Cavs and the Thunder were like 1,600. Yeah. And the Celtics were minus 5,000. It was ridiculous. I can't wait to read the comments on how FF today turned into FBT.
Starting point is 00:54:52 That's okay. We're allowed at the very end of the show. We're allowed to do, and honestly, we are allowed to do anything we want at the very end of the show. Anything we want. We give you 50 minutes of fantasy football content. I'm gonna tell you that I was watching Righteous Gemstones
Starting point is 00:55:04 like 1.30 in the morning last night, cracking up. I love that show. Everybody get on board. We'll talk to you tomorrow night, super late, after round one is in the books. Hope you all enjoy it. And we will have a breakdown for you. See you then.
