Starting point is 00:00:00 Miller Lite. The light beer brewed for people who love the taste of beer and the perfect pairing for your game time. When Miller Lite set out to brew a light beer, they had to choose great taste or 90 calories per can. They chose both because they knew the best part of beer is the beer. Your game time tastes like Miller time. Learn more at MillerLite.ca.
Starting point is 00:00:27 Must be legal drinking age. When it comes to Smart Water Alkaline 9.5 plus pH with antioxidant, there's nothing to overthink. So, while you may be performing mental gymnastics over whether the post-work gym crowd is worth it, if you'll be able to find a spot for your yoga mat, or if that spin instructor will make you late for dinner again. Don't overthink how you hydrate.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Life's full of choices. Smart Water Alkaline is a simple one. Fill in the blank on FFT in five right now. Adam and Jamie, here we go. Jamie, if Aaron Rogers plays every game this season, Garrett Wilson will finish as wide receiver blank in full PPR.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Assuming everybody is healthy and that's being drafted in front of him. I will say wide receiver seven. Okay. You have him seventh. I have him. Eighth. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:01:35 Why was there a seven blank finishes as wide receiver one for the chargers in PPR this year? I'll take my chances with lad McConkie. You know, I think he steps into the Keenan Allen role for Justin Herbert, not necessarily getting that many targets, but you look at what these other guys' profile has right now. Quentin Johnston, DJ Chark, more down the field threats. Josh Palmer, I think a guy that will kind of get pushed aside despite
Starting point is 00:02:00 maybe being more talented than people recognize people recognize um there's there's a lot of moving parts with this team and we know they're going to want to run the ball so i think mcconkie getting drafted where he was going to the team that he ended up with he should have the chance to be the best chargers receiver this year would you take him in the top 80 of drafts top eight rounds top 80 overall oh 80 i'm sorry. He's right on the cusp there. Yeah. You know, I, we referenced our magazine draft a few times. I believe he went, if I'm not mistaken, by Thomas ahead of Jaden Reed.
Starting point is 00:02:36 And I was surprised by that. I get it. You know, because we've talked about how Reed really struggled when Watson was on the field. He just crushed it when Watson wasn't, basically. But that's not what ADP is. ADP has Jaden Reed so far ahead of Vlad Mikhalki. All right, number three. Of all the veteran running backs on new teams,
Starting point is 00:02:58 blank will be the best draft value. Of all the veteran running backs on new teams, blank will be the best draft value. There's three that come to mind. It's Gus Edwards. It's Devin Singletary. And I think the one that probably makes the most sense for this is Zach Moss, just because he's going to the best team of that trio. But I'm going to go with Edwards just because I think he's going to fall him in Singletary will fall the furthest. And I know there was video that,
Starting point is 00:03:29 that got sent out yesterday. Somebody tweeted it about JK Dobbins trucking his trainer. I don't know if you saw that. Somebody was holding up a blocking pad and he just obliterated the guy. Very nice. And, you know, I drafted,
Starting point is 00:03:42 we keep referencing this draft, Kamani Vidal, because I think there's some hope for him, you know, I drafted, we keep referencing this draft, Kamani Vidal, because I think there's some hope for him, you know, even in a secondary role. But I think going to the Chargers is big for any of these running backs, and Gus Edwards may have the best opportunity to, you know, be a double-digit touchdown guy. If Deshaun Watson and Nick Chubb are completely healthy, they will finish as QB and RB blank for the year.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Deshaun Watson will finish as QB 14, and Nick Chubb will finish as RB completely healthy, like back to normal? Yeah. Well, no, no. Like back to normal, but coming off major knee injury, but playing. RB 18.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Yeah, Watson has some sleeper appeal. If you just look at how he did last year, played quarterback pretty poorly and was still scoring about 20 points per game because he does a lot with his legs. I think people are pretty much done with Watson, but I don't necessarily think you should be. And finally, Blank finishes the season as the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. So the last five games of the year? The last three games of the year?
Starting point is 00:04:54 The last game of the year? He finishes as the starter. I mean, if we're going to do that, I'll take Justin Fields because I could see a situation where Russell Wilson is struggling in the eyes of Mike Tomlin and not getting the job done and not being the game manager. I think that he was brought in to be and they want to see Justin Fields if a can lead them to, you know, some playoff wins because they'll always be on the cusp or if for whatever reason they're out of it because Wilson has struggled. They want to see what Justin Fields has for next year. So fields.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Thank you, Jamie. Have a great weekend, everybody. We'll talk to you on Monday on Fantasy Football Today in 5.
