Starting point is 00:01:29 No, I can't. It's time to dominate your fantasy league. Off to the races, and he stays on his feet. It's just going to go the distance. Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath. Holy cow, Gino Smith to the Jets. Isayevichko to the Lions. What?
Starting point is 00:01:51 Reagency Day 2, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the show. It's fantasy football today. Greg Dolcich, the guy who had 41 or more yards in four. of his last five games. Back to the Dolphins. So a lot to talk about. Welcome to the show. It's fantasy football today with Dave, Jamie Heath
Starting point is 00:02:07 and me. I'm Adam. What, Dave? Problems? You're not even naming the biggest free agency signing of day two so far, and that's Romeo Dobbs to the Patriots. Yeah. I didn't see the guaranteed money, but very similar contract to Wondale Robinson around four years and $80 million.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Romeo Dobbs to the Patriots. Rico Dowdell, something that happened yesterday, but after we were on the air, RICO Dowell, two years, $12.25 million to the Steelers. So all that talk about Jalen Warren outperforming Bucky Irving, maybe was a little premature. Yeah. Gone.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Anyway, let's get Jamie. Do you have a big winner or big loser from, not necessarily day two, but since the last time we spoke? I guess it would be Romeo Dobbs. I mean, you know, he's getting an opportunity to replace Stefan Diggs and be the, at least as of now, the number one receiver for Drake May and the page. Patriots. And if you just look at the role he's stepping into and the targets that he's replacing,
Starting point is 00:03:05 Diggs averaged six targets a game last year for the Patriots. And Romeo Dobbs had eight games last year with at least six targets. He averaged over 16 PPR points per game in those eight games. So there's a huge opportunity for him here to have a career season and hopefully be a, I don't know, must-start fantasy web receiver, but in the conversation in three-receiver leagues for sure. Dave, how about you, big winner or loser? I'll say that Garrett Wilson's a loser with Gino Smith going to New York. Gino was pretty good a couple of years ago in Seattle.
Starting point is 00:03:38 He's had some great numbers with the receivers there. Last year, not so much. Not that he had dynamic receivers in Vegas. But I just, I don't know how good of a pastor Gino Smith is going to be. And if he struggles, we saw last year, the Jets gave a quarterback the hook early in the middle of the year. Will they do it again? and Garrett Wilson, for what it's worth, he's shown us flashes for a while,
Starting point is 00:04:02 and then he ends up not being good by the time the season's over. So I'm a little hesitant to call him a top 12 fantasy wide receiver. And I don't know how many of you guys were anyway, but I think he's much easier to accept as a number two wide receiver with Gino as his quarterback. If I know anything about Heath Cummings
Starting point is 00:04:22 after working with him for, what, what, 10 years? I don't even know. I think we are at 11 next week. Heath likes this for Garrett Wilson. I did not move Garrett Wilson. I think this is very much the same situation that Garrett Wilson's been in almost his entire career. I agree. Where did you have them?
Starting point is 00:04:50 Or where do you have them, I guess is probably the best question. 16? Yeah. I must have been the high guy on Garrett Wilson before free agency started. What was the quarterback that you were anticipating that you were going to be? I don't know. I was just, I was just figuring it would be somebody a little bit more exciting than Gino.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And I would say that Gino's an upgrade over what he had last year. And what did he do last year? 14.2 PPR points per game, which given the- I do have to azer-stat that. You have to Azer-Stat that because he left. Yeah, sure, right. Because in the beginning of the year, he was awesome. No, he barely played one.
Starting point is 00:05:25 one of the games. He left one of the games. He only played six healthy games. And in those games, he was a nice BPR, a blank guy with Justin Fields. He was wide receiver 10 per game in the first six games of the week, which included getting shut down by Patrick Sertan, three catches for 13 yards. The first five games of the season, forget it. He was amazing. And he did that. The first six games of the year, Garrett Wilson, wide receiver 10 per game. His quarterbacks were on pace for 2,981 yards and 20 touchdowns. Gino Smith was really bad last year and he blew that away. He was on pace for 3,428 yards, which is
Starting point is 00:05:57 bad, and 22 touchdowns with 19 interceptions. The Jets quarterback is only on pace for three interceptions. The picks are obviously concerning, but you know, Gino Smith, let me just tell you what, and I'm not disagreeing with you, Dave, necessarily. Gino Smith's 35 years old. He's going to be 36, but just, I'll tell you
Starting point is 00:06:13 what his wide receivers have done. In, in 2022, Tyler Lockett was wide receiver 16 per game, while D.K. Metcalfe was wide receiver 24 per game. 23, Metcalf was 23rd per game. Lockett was 41st per game. In 2024,
Starting point is 00:06:28 JSN was wide receiver 22 per game and Metcalf was 32 per game. And last year, Brock Bowers was tight end four per game and was on pace for 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns and 11 healthy games with Gino Smith. What was Trey Tucker? Yeah, Trey Tucker had 696 yards and five touchdowns in 17 games. But we've never had a wide receiver finish higher than wide receiver 16 with Gino Smith. However, it was always.
Starting point is 00:06:52 always there were always two guys. It was always either Metcalf and Lockett or JSN and Metcalf. It's not that good, but that production right there is not so bad. In fact, he was top 12 yards per game three straight years before last year. Yeah, all the more reason to view Gino, or not Gino, Garrett Wilson is more of like the 15th wide receiver amongst the position when you go into your drafts. Not a top 12 guy. All right, but you see the difference though, right? He doesn't have a Tyler Lockett getting 100 targets doesn't have a JSN, you know what he's he's he's it. I think if Wilson
Starting point is 00:07:26 stays healthy, you'll probably end up being good value assuming his ADP is probably in that round four range. All right. Yeah, okay. Garrett Wilson or Luther Burden. I still have Wilson had a burden.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Hey, Heath, who's a winner or loser for you? I think Jalen Warren is a loser. Maybe not relative to what he ended up in last year with Kenneth Gainwell, but relative to the opportunity of having this backfields, I mean, the big losers, Caleb Johnson, it might be over for him.
Starting point is 00:07:58 But I think with the connection that Mike McCarthy has with Rico Doudal, and I think McCarthy's pretty fond of Rico Duttle, this could very well turn into a situation where Rico Douddle has more rush attempts on a per game basis than Jalenor. So I think he goes from that low-end RB2 status to more of a flex for now. Last season, Warren was the number 19 running back per game with only 40 catches in 16 games because Kenneth Gainwell had led the team in receptions, right?
Starting point is 00:08:32 Gainwell. This is the strangest thing that I saw when looking at these guys last night was that Rico Dallow has more targets each of the last two years than Jalen Warren. Really? He played more. 2024. Warren missed a few games.
Starting point is 00:08:48 He missed two. He played 15 in 2024. He missed one game in 2025. And it was his best year. But he lost his third down roll. He's almost certainly going to get that back this year. But now first and second down will be, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Who's going to lead the team in carries? Best guess? What do you think? I would still say Jalen Warren, but it's probably going to be close. I bet it varies from week to week. And that's going to be real close to call between the two. Yeah. I've got Warren by just a touch. I think I'd rather have worn for the receiving chops
Starting point is 00:09:25 but they're both right in that range he thought about All right, well, you know, last yesterday was so fun Today Boring Yeah, pretty much You know, we still have Tyreek Hill, we still have Kyler Murray, so have Joanne Jennings out there Maybe they'll get signed You need to get excited about Isaiah Pachecoe.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Yeah, you know what? what, I think it's, now's a good time to maybe look at some Twitter polls. So it's kind of interesting. Last week, David Montgomery was traded to the Texans, and a big piece of that run game is gone, and now Jamir Gibbs, number one overall we were talking about, even if maybe you had him there to begin with, but I didn't. Now Tyler Algier is gone as well. We didn't talk too much about that yesterday.
Starting point is 00:10:13 He's with Arizona. So I did a Twitter poll. Who you taken first? I think it said in full PPR, Bijon Robinson or Jamir Gibbs. Now, I did this before the Pacheco signing. I'm going to guess about half these votes, 646 votes, about half of them before the Pacheco signing, half of them after the Pacheco signing,
Starting point is 00:10:33 because I looked there were 300-something when the news broke. That doesn't mean that everybody knew about it when they voted. But even still, Bijon was crushing Gibbs. He's got 62% of the vote to 38% in PPR, who are you drafting first, Bijon or Gibbs. And, you know, the numbers are really? similar. They were within a half a point of each other last year. And you look at Alger and Montgomery, and they had fairly similar numbers too. So it's almost like they're losing kind of the same guy.
Starting point is 00:11:05 But yeah, I was a little surprised teeth by these results that Bijan getting 62% of the vote, even before the Pacheco news. What's your take on this whole, on Gibbs with Pacheco and who's RB1? I don't think Isaiah Eichiko matters for Jemir Gibbs and I think like 60, 40 you have to choose one of them. So that's not that big of a gap.
Starting point is 00:11:31 I currently have Gibbs ahead of Bejohn but they're both obviously fantastic and both could score 22 fantasy points of game next year. Dave, who you taking first? Bejohn or Gibbs now? Still have Gibbs first but it's extremely close between the two of them.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Jamie? I don't want to pick third in drafts this year. It still gives for now, but I think the last week or so has been more favorable for Bijian than it has for Gibbs because Gibbs at least got some competition. Gibbs' offensive line has gotten worse, and I think the quarterback situation for Bijan has improved because Tua has been very good in throwing to his running back,
Starting point is 00:12:16 certainly Devon H in the last few years. That's a good point. Over the last two seasons, the Detroit Lions running backs as a whole have averaged 28.16 fantasy points per game. That is number one by about four and a half points. They have been by far the most productive backfield in fantasy in full PPR. Buffalo is two. I don't know who number three is, sorry, but Atlanta's four. Atlanta's four at 23 fantasy points per game.
Starting point is 00:12:45 What really blows me away, though, is Detroit has 43 goal line carries. in the last two years. Atlanta has 29. So just a lot more opportunities, a lot more scoring opportunities. But, you know, Bejohn's been more carries and more catches. I'm pretty sure two straight years,
Starting point is 00:13:00 definitely last year. More catches. Yeah, I think two straight years, more carries and more catches than Jemir Gibbs. I mean, Bejohn had 103 targets last year. That's amazing. Yeah. Gibbs wasn't too far behind.
Starting point is 00:13:14 What did Gibbs have last year? He had 94 targets in 17 games last year. Bejon had 103. Just very similar seasons in those two backfields, I'd say. And I mentioned this couple, I think last week. Yeah, David Montgomery had 13 of 17 goal line carries for the Lions. Jemir Gibbs had four goal line carries, and he still scored 13 rushing touchdowns last year.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Shaver, let's scroll up and take a look at another Twitter poll. Let's see, what's next? Which one are we going to? Who would you draft first and half people? PPR. See, I told you guys, you were crazy. We were talking about full PPR. Who, okay, fine. You know what? You think that's enough to do this? It doesn't matter. I mean, Wondale might catch 40 more passes than
Starting point is 00:14:02 40. That doesn't really change the poll at all. I would agree with these results that in half PPR, I would also take Mike Evans first. Mike Evans, Wondell Robinson, or Chris Godwin. Evans is getting 60% of the vote followed by Godwin, then Wondale close behind Godwin. But it's such a blowout that I really think if I put full PPR, it would still be Evans. So take that. Might be. People are wrong all the time.
Starting point is 00:14:26 How about Goblin over Wondale at half PPR? According to the voters. Your anti-Wondale propaganda has been very successful. Brian Dable wasn't listening to me. I think I have a couple more Twitter polls there. Let's see what else we got.
Starting point is 00:14:43 We've got. Who would you draft first in half PPR? Ken Walker, Javante Williams, Derek Henry or Kyron Williams. Why do you do that to Javante? I looked at some fantasy pros like industry rankings and he was in that group. So I put him there.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Ken Walker, Javante Williams, Derek Henry or Kairn Williams, half PPR. It is not even close. Ken Walker with 52% of the vote. Next is Kiron Williams at 22%. Derek Henry 19%. Javante Williams, 7%. Jamie, what do you make of how lopsided that is? Ken Walker like blowing away Kiron.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Williams and Derek Henry and Javante. I mean, it makes sense. He's the shiny new toy going to a great team. You know, so there's a lot to love about, especially what he just did, you know, with the Seahawks in the postseason. So it's not that surprising, especially when you put in Derek Henry who people are scared up because of his age and everybody hates Kiron Williams. And then you just did that to Javante.
Starting point is 00:15:39 He's just disrespectful. What did I do? So not a surprise. I would take Ken Walker over with these guys too, but it's, um, it's a little surprising that's that much. I got to take a break here, guys. We'll get back to the day's events and more. We'll talk about Rashid Shahid.
Starting point is 00:15:57 I wanted to talk about the Cardinals' backfield a little bit more. And, yeah, and more after this. I had a thought about Isaiah Pacheco. Yeah. I thought maybe if he ended up in the right spot, maybe he could be the next Giovante Williams. Guy who, like, maybe look like he'd be done. But two years removed from a serious, serious injury,
Starting point is 00:16:18 regained his form. and got an opportunity. Remember how excited people were about Jaden Blue? Because they didn't take Javante seriously at all. So I thought maybe if Pacheco ended up in the right spot, he could be that. I think the best case scenario now is maybe Gibbs misses a few games and he goes in and plays well and gets a better. I don't know, is it a one-year deal? I didn't even see that I tried to find the contract.
Starting point is 00:16:41 They haven't released the terms yet. Yeah. I don't know what it is. But he's not, I don't think he's reviving his career. I think the big difference there is the pedigree between Williams and Pacheco, right? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, it's not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:16:54 You want him to be Giovante Williams. I'd take David Montgomery. I mean, if he could be that for Detroit, I don't think he will, but, I mean, you're talking about a guy who scored 33 touchdowns in three seasons. Like, if he can have that opportunity and maybe get, look, Montgomery had at least 180-some-od touches each of the three years he was in Detroit. It'd be shocking if Pacheco gets that.
Starting point is 00:17:15 But if he's 150-catch guy and six-stitch. seven touchdowns for the season. Like where you're going to draft him, that's pretty good. And then like you said, if Gibbs misses a game or two, then he does step into that role as the lead guy there, number two fantasy running back for those weeks. Like he's a good late round investment. By the way, if you're wondering,
Starting point is 00:17:37 is Jemir Gibbs just not that good at the goal line? Actually, no, he's amazing. He's had 20 carries from the- anybody was wondering that. I wonder if anyone has ever wondered that. Well, now you know. 20 carries from the 3-yard or closer. He has scored on 14 of them.
Starting point is 00:17:53 I would have to bet that Jemir Gibbs is one of the best touchdown percentages from the 3-yard-liner closer in the NFL. If there's ever like a Dan Campbell guy, it's Isaiah Pacheco. Like, just runs angry. He'll get a lot of fourth-down opportunities. He sure does. Okay. I think Montgomery was more of that guy.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Sure. Who would you rather draft? David Montgomery or Jalen Warren? Montgomery. Yes. In all form in full PPR? Especially half in non-PPR. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Okay. All right. Last Twitter poll, I just wanted to get into the Cardinals backfield. Which Cardinals running back? Will you draft first? James Connor, Tyler Algier,
Starting point is 00:18:40 or Trey Benson? I'm glad you did this one. No, you're not. No, I am. Because I'm struggling with Connor versus Alger. Well, the people are not. 803 votes, 68.4% preferred Tyler Algier. Then 22.4% Connor, 9.2% Tray Benson.
Starting point is 00:19:00 If ever, there was a place for C results on a poll. Like someone could very much want to say, I would not draft them at all. And what could they, what do they do here? They just say, how can you be in that group and not be able to say who you would take first. I mean, Trey Benson is basically C results
Starting point is 00:19:22 because nobody's going to draft him. Trey Benson's their most explosive running back. And there are still Trey Benson truthers out there. Yeah, clearly. It's easy for him.
Starting point is 00:19:32 I'm not, I wouldn't say I'm a Trey Benson Truther. I would just say I'd still like to see what he's capable of. You know, he did a pretty good job in week four. You know,
Starting point is 00:19:41 we scored like 14 points against the Seahawks. And that was it. So he showed he could catch some passes. He scored 10.4 fantasy points on 13 touches against the Seahawks. But he had five catch. It didn't really do much.
Starting point is 00:19:56 But can we play my game now? Yeah, sure. Okay. This is going to be a fun game. I want to thank Sam Block for putting this on Twitter. So don't look at Twitter. He counts. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, about 20 quarterbacks that have started for the Jets since
Starting point is 00:20:18 Gino Smith started for the Jets. Okay. So these are all the sandwich quarterbacks between Gino Smith and Gino Smith. Mm, sandwich. Let's go Adam, Jamie, Dave. Name one. First one that can't is out. Oh, me first.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Justin Fields. Justin Fields, good. Sam Donald. Yep. Trod Taylor. Oh, I was going to say him. I'm just stealing your move. Oh, Tim Boyle.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Tim Boyle's correct. Brady Cook. Brady Cook is correct. Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco is correct. Dave's cheating. No, I'm not. Normally not.
Starting point is 00:21:00 I'm struggling. Oh, Zach Wilson. Josh Wilson. Josh Johnson. Is that correct, Keith? Josh Johnson? Okay. I think I'm out.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Yeah, now I'm struggling. Come out. Yeah, I'm blanking. Three, two, one. Yeah, I'm not giving you an answer. We're wasting everybody's time. Mike White. Mike White.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Thomas is in the game for Dave. Mike, wait. Yeah, no, I'm out. You're out. I'm not even going to bother. There's so many easy ones left. I know, but I'm so bad at this kind of stuff. Let me say, okay, hold on.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Give me five seconds here. Four, three. Don't count out loud. That's so rude. I do that during the feud, I know. All the time. Yeah, I, I've got nothing. Jamie, can you get one more for the win?
Starting point is 00:21:56 No. Okay. So would you like the names now? Yeah. But you didn't guess? Matt Sims. Michael Vic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Ryan Fitzpatrick. Bryce Petty. Josh McCown. Trevor Simeon. Luke Falk. Chris Trevler. Aaron Rogers. Christian Hackenberg.
Starting point is 00:22:20 So I think that's just a fun game. And also my pushback against Dave saying that Gino Smith is a downgrade for Gero Wilson. Fair point. It's been really bad. But the thing about like, I guess I haven't looked. Let's look right now, Garrett Wilson's yards per target in his four seasons. No, it wasn't even that good. So how was he so good last year?
Starting point is 00:22:47 He had almost, he had over nine targets per game. He had that every year of his career. Was it the touchdown? It must have been the touchdowns. He had four and seven games. He had, he said, four in 17, three and 17, seven and seven. Is that eight? And 2024 was by far his highest catch rate, which catch rate factors into yards per target.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Probably better catch rate because he was playing with Aaron Rogers. Yeah. But, yeah, I'm just, you know, with Garrett Wilson, he had had 147, 168, and 154 targets every year of his career. And he had never really been that good for fantasy. and he finally was this past year with four touchdowns really in six games
Starting point is 00:23:29 like I said I mean the seventh game he barely played four touchdowns and six games will do it for you okay let's talk about Romeo Dobbs give me a round Jamie
Starting point is 00:23:38 where you draft Romeo Dobbs very similar in the same range we were talking about Wanda Robinson yesterday you know you're looking at again big opportunity right now so round seven is probably where I would look for him
Starting point is 00:23:49 you know Diggs was just over 14 PPR points per game last year I think Dobbs can get there. That'd be a career high for him, but I think he can get there. So hopefully we get career season for him. And it's all contingent on the Patriots, not doing anything else. Because if they don't do anything else,
Starting point is 00:24:06 there's competition for targets is Matt Collins and Kashan Bouty and Kyle Williams right now. So I think Dobbs can step into that role. And again, last year, eight games with at least six targets, he averaged over 16 pPR points per game in that stretch. So I think he's got a lot more to offer than what he's shown in Green Bay so far. I've got one spot behind. one deal. So I agree completely with right in the same range. Dave. I got him a tear below. And it's
Starting point is 00:24:32 not because of talent. I think he's very talented. It was fun to actually go back and watch some of his reps from last year. Remember, what's the biggest problem that we have with the Packers' offense? They spread the ball around so much. I think that'll still be the case to a degree in New England. Keep in mind, Sivan Diggs led that team in targets last year. He had 100 targets over the course of the year. Don't ask me if you played all 17 games. I don't know off the time I had if you did. So it, there's no guarantee that Dobbs is going to be in line for seven plus targets per game, but somewhere between, if he's north of six, I think that's a career high for him. I think he was right around like five and a half pretty much every year in Green Bay. So I'd be willing to give him
Starting point is 00:25:17 another full target per game. And that'll obviously puff up his numbers, but I still think we can do a little bit better than that in that round seven range than Romeo Dobbs. So I'd probably take him in round eight. What do you make of the fact that this may not matter at all, but Stefan Diggs was their slot guy and Romeo Dobbs has about a 12% slot rate. He basically never plays in the slot. So Dave, what do you think that looks like for the Patriots? I don't think they're going to wedge him in anywhere. I think the nice thing about Dobbs is he can win at all three levels and he's he's a smooth route runner. He's got very good hands. He's got great quickness. And he's versatile. He can line up inside or outside. I would guess they would keep him outside more often than inside. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:08 It's a matter of like, was this somebody that they made a conscious effort to target to go get? Or was this who they settled for because AJ Brown and Brian Thomas weren't going to be traded? and they couldn't get Alex Pierce because his price was too high and the colds weren't to let him go. So who's a bigger winner today? Christian Watson or Romeo Dobbs? I would draft Watson ahead of Dobbs
Starting point is 00:26:35 if that's what you're having. I would too. It's close though. But I didn't really move Watson because I wasn't expecting Dobbs to be back. Right. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:46 It's actually if you look at Dobbs' season, when Watson came back, he got a lot fewer targets. He was on pace for about 80 targets when Watson was playing. All right, let me throw out the wide receivers who went in round seven in our latest draft. And you tell me, would you take Romeo Dobbs or this guy? Now, remember, this was before the DJ Moore trade. So first guy is Romodunze. Adunze.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Yes. Jacoby Myers or Romeo Dobbs? Jacoby. Dobbs. I have Myers just ahead of Dobbs. That's assuming Brian Thomas is still on the team. Correct. Yeah, a report today that they are not looking to trade Brian Thomas,
Starting point is 00:27:29 even though there was a report yesterday, that they might be looking to trade Brian Thomas. Yeah, that's called somebody from the team reaching out to Schefter and saying, hey, can you say this, please? Michael Wilson or Romeo Dobbs. Dobbs. I kind of like Wolf. What did you say, Heath?
Starting point is 00:27:51 Dobbs. Dave. I kind of like Wilson. Like Wilson. All right. And Tyreek Hill. TBD. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:01 All right, that's it. Then there's actually Mike Evans. Mike Evans and Alec Pierce with Romeo Dobbs. Way out of Dobbs. Just before Dobbs. Pierce, Dobbs, Evans. Okay. Rashid Chaheed.
Starting point is 00:28:13 There's a lot of money. Way behind. Yeah. But, you know, look, he's shown he's better than what he was with Seattle. I mean, he mid-season trade did basically nothing other than great in the return game. They gave him three years, $51 million with $34.7 million guaranteed. Jamie, what do you think about Shaheed back to the Seahawks? I don't love it, but I understand why they did it.
Starting point is 00:28:33 I mean, they obviously gave a draft capital to go get him, and he was a big part of their overall team success. He's a difference maker and special team, so that's huge for what he was able to accomplish for them and hopefully still be able to accomplish. He's obviously not the best receiver that I think will fit this system, but he certainly can stretch the field and make plays. I hate it because I wanted to see Tori Horton get a. a opportunity, which may not come now, barring a potential Cooper Cup injury or Shaheed injury,
Starting point is 00:29:01 but it feels like that's going to be their three receivers to open the season behind JSN. And so Tori Horton may not get a chance to get more playing time or more targets. But I understand the move from the Seahawks standpoint. He's just not going to be a great fantasy asset going into the season, barring some significant change either he didn't pick up the system quickly enough, and they didn't use them on offense to the degree that maybe the Saints did or at least have in the past, But I just don't think that Rashid Shaheed is going to be as good of a fantasy asset as he was in New Orleans, per seade the last two years. Anyone have any thoughts on a Shahid?
Starting point is 00:29:34 We can move on. I think it's great for the Seahawks. And unless you're in a return yardage league, I don't really care for fantasy. Not a top 50 wide receiver. I don't think you should be in a return yardage league. I love return yardage league. He's got a couple of them. Wait, I had a new idea for a fantasy playoff format.
Starting point is 00:29:54 It was really great, but I don't think I remember it. How timely. Day two, man. Boring. Just like not much to talk about. He was really wanted to talk about Greg Dulcich to the dolphins. Very exciting. Maybe their second target.
Starting point is 00:30:19 It may be. How about Noah Fant going to the Saints? Does that matter at all for Juan Johnson? No, thank you. I don't think it probably Maybe it's a tiny dean But no Arizona
Starting point is 00:30:33 Was Joanne Johnson drafted in our early mucks Let's see Johnson No but Caleb was Now you know there's another really There's another free agent out of Dallas got her Still waiting for him to get signed He's good
Starting point is 00:30:51 And Zach Ertz Yeah He's too old And he's hurt. It's coming off of an injury. Let's see. We got Tyquan Thornton back to the Chiefs. We got Kendrick Bourne to Arizona.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Mm-hmm. You know, the Texans have made some moves on their offensive line because before free agency started, they had traded juice scrugs. They had traded Titus Howard, but they signed Ed Ingram. They re-signed Ed Ingram. They re-signed Trent Brown or their tackle.
Starting point is 00:31:25 And today they got Braden Smith, Colts Wright tackle, two-year, $25 million deal. So that's good. I don't know if we talked about the Patriots getting Elijah Vera Tucker, but that could potentially... Did not that happen last night, so we wouldn't have talked about it. Yeah, that could potentially be pretty impactful. He's good when he's healthy.
Starting point is 00:31:43 It's a great gamble. He's fantastic when he's healthy. He just has not been healthy his entire career. Okay. One of my favorite signings for the Giants was their right tackle. Germaine, Illumina. three-year $39 million with $26 million guaranteed for a good starting right tackle. That was a hell of a deal.
Starting point is 00:32:03 And that's been most of it. It really hasn't been that much this cycle. But hopefully we'll have more headlines for you tomorrow. All right. Good show, guys. Free agency to get self tomorrow. What? Officially.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Oh, right. Signed deal. Talk about it all again then. Maybe somebody will back out. Ooh, that'd be fun It's happening before. Who would back out? Let's see.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Most likely to back out. It has to be from yesterday. It's Cordell Flot. I want to go back to naming Jets quarterback. Can't believe you guys missed Aaron Rogers. That's the silliest thing. I have a great day, everybody. Honestly, I don't know that we will definitely have a show tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:32:58 but whenever I'd say Kyler, Tyreek, maybe Goddard, Joan Jennings, whenever these guys do end up signing or, you know, reportedly signing. Diggs? Diggs, yes. Yeah, you know what? We're going to stop the world for Stefan Diggs. We're going to do a podcast.
Starting point is 00:33:16 I don't know if we're going to stop the world, but I think we'll do a podcast for it. All right. Thanks, everybody. Naddy Harris. Yeah, sure. Talk to you next time on Fantasy Football. Podcasts. Thank you.
