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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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
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,
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
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,
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?
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
Yeah.
Very good.
Very good.
But in that same year, Reggie Bush had 88 catches.
So, and 55 carries.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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%.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
