Can you believe this?
No, I can't.
It's time to dominate your fantasy league.
Off to the races, and he stays on his feet.
He's just going to go the distance.
Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
Big week for NFL fans.
It is NFL Draft Week, and we welcome you to our coverage.
It is Monday right now.
We'll talk about the NFL players, the veterans who have the most to gain or lose after the NFL draft.
Wednesday, we're going to probably unveil a mock draft.
We'll see.
That's the plan.
But if we cover most of that stuff on today's show, we might not do that.
And then Thursday, there will not be an early show.
There will be a recap as soon as day one is done. We might not do that. And then Thursday, there will not be an early show. There will be a recap
as soon as day one is done.
We'll be on the air Thursday night. Same thing
Friday night. Same thing at some point
on Saturday. We'll give you a recap of day
one, day two, and day three.
Adam Azer here with Jamie Eisenberg.
Dave Richard should be joining us shortly.
And
we
have a good show for you today.
Your email is at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com.
What's up, Jamie?
I'm very upset with you and Thomas
for editing out the muted version
of the bonus podcast we did on Jameson Williams.
Nah, you should not be upset at all.
That needed to be edited out.
Oh, it was so funny.
It was funny, but it was embarrassing.
I don't know what happened there.
I was just in the middle of my intro, and then all of a sudden, I went out.
But yeah, that was the Jamison Williams news.
So let's talk about some news and notes real quick from around the NFL,
and then we'll get Dave on, and we'll talk about the players
who could be affected by the NFL draft.
Akbar Baja Biamila of CBS's The Talk.
He tweeted that Derrick Henry was being traded to the Eagles.
This is a former NFL player.
His brother also played in the NFL.
But he tweeted that Derrick Henry was being traded to the Eagles.
There hasn't been much around this, Jamie.
What do you make of that?
I mean, it seems like everybody's refuted it, So I'm going to guess it's still could happen.
Obviously, you know, the Eagles definitely have a needed running back and the Titans
since the off season have been trying to unload Derrick Henry's contract as they're
looking like a team that's ready to rebuild. So I can only go back to, you know, the closest
reference I have, which is I spoke to Chigokonko of the Titans, and he hopes at the time, this was two weeks ago, that Derrick Henry's still part of the team.
So if he's moved, the Eagles make a lot of sense.
But, you know, seemingly everybody's refuting this trade happening.
A.J. Brown's like, bring it on.
Yeah.
A.J. Brown likes him.
Okay, Josh Jacobs has not signed.
Who doesn't like Derrick Henry?
What's that?
Who doesn't like Derrick Henry?
I like Derrick Henry.
We interviewed him.
It was cool.
That was a few years ago.
He's probably still cool.
Josh Jacobs has not signed his franchise tag.
He will not take part in the voluntary offseason program.
So that's him and Saquon Barkley in the same situation.
The Jets, some Jets news.
They re-signed their starting center, Conor McGovern.
And more importantly, they could be trading for Aaron Rodgers this week. There is some buzz that it will happen sometime this week.
In terms of them re-signing their starting center, the Jets, they look like if they get Aaron Rodgers,
they look like a really good team. They've got a stud receiver, we think, stud running back,
we think. Of course, there's an injury factor there. Hopefully a stud quarterback. They had a great defense last year.
But the offensive line is a huge, huge issue for them.
They were 27th in run blocking, 30th in pass blocking.
This is the New York Jets we're talking about, according to PFF last year.
And, Jamie, a lot of people are mocking an offensive lineman to the Jets
with the 13th pick.
They also have 42 and 43.
For now.
For now, right.
But, you know, reportedly that first-round pick is off the table.
But, yeah, I mean, if you were doing a mock draft,
are you mocking a left tackle to the Jets?
I would think some semblance of an offensive lineman makes a ton of sense.
You know, you look at, like you said, everything, for the most part,
is somewhat covered.
You know, they brought in a receiver in Mikko Hardman to add to their group.
The tight ends they addressed last season.
Quarterback, they're about to upgrade.
You said the defense is certainly on the rise.
I agree with that.
So offensive line is something that you have to have when you're talking about a 39-year-old quarterback.
So I would imagine that's the huge part of their draft process is to add some pieces there and whatever's going to be left in free agency
once some guys get cut.
So they'll certainly be tweaking that group for sure.
And I just wonder, though, when you give the PFF run-blocking grades,
what their run-blocking grades are when Brees Hall was there versus not.
I know you're giving the season grades overall,
but it's always interesting when you lose
a talented player like him
and how things change because they grade based on
what they're seeing. They don't know the schemes.
They don't know how the personnel grouping is supposed to be.
Only the NFL teams know that.
I wonder if it was slightly better when Brees Hall was there.
Okay, and we'll see if they
can get anything out of Mekhi Becton.
They have to decide if they're going to pick up his
fifth-year option. I think they're probably not going to, but that doesn't mean he won't be. He'll be on the team, see if they getekhi Becton. They have to decide if they're going to pick up his fifth-year option. I think they're probably not going to,
but that doesn't mean he won't be. He'll be on
the team, see if they get anything from Becton.
On that topic, I just want to say I did listen to
something very interesting over the weekend, very fun. It was
the latest episode of the
With the First Pick podcast. They recorded it on
Thursday. They brought on Emery Hunt.
Emery gave his mock draft, and his
mock draft was not what he expects to happen. It's
what he thinks each team should do. And I just, it was interesting perspective. And then Rick Spielman, you know,
for those of you who don't know, I've talked about every week and promoted the podcast. Rick
Spielman is actually great on the air. He's really funny. He's got a great rapport with Ryan Wilson.
This was a terrific listen. So, um, it, it helped me, you know, it has helped me get ready for the
drafts and I strongly recommend a listen to the With the First Pick podcast.
I also recommend downloading the CBS Sports app.
I was on the app the other day, yesterday actually,
waiting for the Knicks game to start,
and I was just reading about all of the prospects.
We have profiles on at least all the first-round prospects,
so on the app right there if you just go to our draft coverage.
So check out the CBS Sports app.
You can get lightning-fast live scoring. It's a really Sports app. You can get lightning fast live scoring. It's
a really great app. You can get breaking news alerts.
Download that. And Jamie, this is
what everybody wants to know about.
The draft contest.
How to get into the podcast
league. Thomas Schaefer is going
to be taking on the brunt of this work
here, so thank you to him.
If you email thomas.
schaefer. Yeah, I know it should probably so thank you to him. If you email thomas.shafer,
yeah, I know it should probably have a C in the last name,
but it doesn't.
It's S-H-A-F-E-R, thomas.shafer at paramount.com.
Is that right?
Okay, that's right.
All right, here's the contest.
You're going to email NFLDraftContest
to thomas.shafer at paramount.com, and you're going to guess the first 10 picks's the contest. You're going to email NFLDraftContest to thomas.schafer at paramount.com.
And you are going to do, you're going to guess the first 10 picks of the draft.
The teams do not matter.
Don't tell us the teams.
Just tell us the players and how they're going to go, one through 10.
One, Bryce Young.
You know, first and last name would be helpful, but whatever.
One, Bryce Young.
Two, Will Anderson.
Whatever you think it's going to be.
You don't have to tell us the team.
Just the top ten picks.
You have to get the order right.
It's not just, oh, these were the ten players picked.
You got to get number one was Bryce Young.
Number eight was whoever, Skowronski.
And whatever it is.
You got to get the order right.
And whoever gets the most right is in the podcast league.
So email your top 10 picks in
order. No teams, just the players to thomas.shaferatparamount.com. I'm telling you no teams
because I've done this contest many years and I know what people do. And they also say, hey,
I got eight right. Well, you got the names right, but you didn't get the order right. You got to
get the order right. All right. I've been throwing a curveball here. I thought Dave was coming on today. Heath is coming on today.
Hey, Heath, what's up?
This is like a, there was a pitch you could throw in the game.
I think it was RBI baseball, or maybe it was just baseball.
Back on the Nintendo, where it would actually break twice.
So this is the double breaker, because I was originally scheduled to be on the show.
Then Dave had to take over.
Now I'm back.
I think my technical difficulties have been resolved.
I will no longer ruin the show with my sound,
just with my takes.
Well, that's all we ask, Heath.
You could have the worst takes in the world.
We just need you to have good sound.
We appreciate it.
Heath's Dynasty show is tomorrow.
YouTube.com slash Fantasy Football Today.
And we're putting it in the audio feed as as well so that's going to be part of
the news yes yes that that will cut down on my twitter mentions considerably i'll tell you just
briefly guys about my weekend i went to nando's house and i overflowed his toilet so that was
awesome yep yep so pour it out of the bowl and onto the floor, and I had to turn it off from the bottom.
So that was great.
What?
Yeah, that happened.
Did you pee or poop?
I peed, thankfully.
So that was Saturday.
And Sunday I went to the Nicky.
Please tell me what his reaction was.
He brought a plunger down, and he was like, oh, you turned off the water.
I'm surprised you even knew how to do that.
So it was really, I bore the brunt of it, got my socks all wet with toilet water.
I had to go home in a pair of his wife's socks, which fit me perfectly.
It was great.
And then Sunday I went to the Knicks game, my first playoff game at MSG.
I was so excited. I had a splitting headache. I went to the Knicks game, my first playoff game at MSG. I was so excited.
I had a splitting headache.
I went with Frank Stamfel.
I left him at about three minutes left in the first quarter,
tried to get some Tylenol.
I had to go to the nurse's office at MSG.
No.
Yep.
They had to take my vitals.
I missed a chunk of the game.
I almost fell asleep at halftime.
I finally recovered around the fourth quarter, and I enjoyed a quarter of the game. I almost fell asleep at halftime. I finally recovered around the fourth quarter,
and I enjoyed a quarter of the basketball game.
So you said your first playoff game at MSG,
had you been to a Knicks playoff game?
In Miami.
Somewhere else?
Yeah, in Miami.
Okay.
Several of them.
But yeah, I'd always wanted to go to one in Madison Square Garden,
and the one quarter that I was conscious, it was pretty great.
So anyway, let's
get to the show here.
Players who could be affected by the NFL
draft. Alright, Jamie, you vaguely
just said Carolina,
Houston, and Indianapolis. You're expecting
quarterbacks, I guess,
for them. Houston seems a little less
certain, but you have two picks.
Alright, so
are you expecting good things
for the players on these teams, Carolina,
Houston, and Indianapolis, relative
to last year?
I mean, I would hope
that they're better relative to what
happened last year with some of the players.
There's a lot of new faces
on a few of these teams, Carolina for sure.
You know, I think
when it comes to Indianapolis,
as long as the quarterback play is better than Sam Ellinger and Nick Foles,
because for Michael Pittman, for example,
his numbers with Matt Ryan weren't horrible.
His numbers with those other guys were just absolutely disastrous.
And I think just what these guys could potentially get
with hopefully better quarterback play
will be better than what they currently have.
So that was kind of just they'll gain from the draft would be my hope.
Heath, what do you think?
Yeah, I mean, it depends.
I saw a bunch of chatter yesterday and looked.
I'm working on my mock draft, and I think Will Levis is now projected
as the number two pick according to gambling odds.
I'm not sure.
I don't even know how much some of these guys are going.
Is Anthony Richardson going to play a lot in his rookie year?
That will be the thing that determines it,
but I do think wherever Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud go,
those teams are probably going to get an upgrade in year one.
Yeah, I have to do a mock.
They're making me write an article. I can't believe, I have to do a mock. They're making me write an article.
I can't believe you guys have to do that for a living.
I have to write a mock draft for this site.
Is anybody not going to mock Bryce Young to the Panthers?
That's going to be everyone's number one.
I'd be very surprised if that's not the case anymore.
I'm mostly just using the betting odds
and determining the order in my mock.
So yeah, for sure, Bryce Young.
Okay, so
which player on Carolina,
Houston, or Indianapolis do you think has the
most
to gain from
having a new quarterback?
Of those teams, I would say
probably Michael Pittman. And this
is really also a Gardner Mitchell conversation too,
just because I think he's better than what Sam Ellinger and Nick Foles were
last year. So, you know, just anything is, is, is a benefit to him.
But if you, if you look at it right now, I mean,
he's the best receiving option unless I'm missing somebody of,
of those three teams.
No, right now.
Feeling, you know, well again, you know, right. It's, you know, Nico Collins know right it's you know nico collins and
john mechi we don't know what's happening there um indianapolis it's easy you know so
i i and and you know you extend it to the running backs too you know if the quarterback plays better
i would hope jonathan taylor just being healthy is going to produce but you know i think just
getting better quarterback plays going to help him significantly um for hou You know, not that Davis Mills was a complete disaster,
but he did not take a step forward,
which I'm sure the Texans would have liked because then they could certainly
avoid taking a quarterback,
which is what seemingly you're hearing out of Houston this year that they're
not thrilled with this group. So, you know, I, I think just, again,
any better play at that position. And I agree with Heath,
if it's Anthony Richardson going to one of those teams,
then it's probably not the best scenario for what they're looking at in year one it's great for
him and his fantasy outlook because of the things that he's potentially going to do but in terms of
what is going to happen with those guys you know i was trying to think like okay you know some of
dan scenarios like i don't think the falcons are taking a quarterback personally um i i don't
remember some of the there was one other one i think that was just out there for me but i gave you you know the other the others on the flip side of it the
seahawks take a quarterback or the raiders take a quarterback and then we have sort of this
uncertainty about what those teams are going to do at some point during the season if the guy that
is entrenched as the starter to open the season struggles i think we should talk a little bit
more about michael pitman heath he did not exactly build off a very encouraging second season.
On a per-game basis, he was a big difference here in the formats.
Number 36 per game in non-PPR, number 21 per game in full PPR.
99 catches, but only 925 yards, only four touchdowns on 141 targets.
He played on a team with terrible offensive line play
and terrible quarterback play.
His ADOT was really low,
and they just became this team that was throwing the ball a ton,
really, really short yardage.
It was dreadful.
You know, what do you think about Michael Pittman, I guess?
And obviously, it wouldn't shock me if they picked a wide receiver, you know,
to bolster that group at some point in the draft. But do you think Michael Pittman could skyrocket if it's say CJ Stroud, not Anthony Richardson, who goes there?
Well, yes, I do think he could still skyrocket. I also agree with Jamie that they already have
a quarterback on their roster better than the guys they were playing in the second half of the
season. I don't know if Gardner Minshew currently is better than Matt Ryan was last year,
but I'm not sure that I would rule it out because he wasn't very good last year either.
But there was like 35 of his 141 targets came from Ellinger or Foles.
And that's not that many, except when you consider that he turned those 35 targets into 185 yards.
Oh my gosh.
5.3 yards per target.
To pass from one of those guys to Pittman was basically the same as a rush attempt for someone like Nick Chubb.
He was not very good with Ryan, but he was closer to 7 yards per target.
So, yes, I think there is a huge opportunity.
I would expect him to be more efficient next year with Minshew.
Now, the other thing we don't know, and Jamie referenced it or you referenced it with the
wide receiver, is will he get that type of target share in a new offensive system?
As the team's currently constructed, you'd have to think probably, but they could add
people that would change that.
In his games with Matt Ryan, he averaged 14.5 PBR points.
In the games without him, it was 10.4.
That's enormous.
But the thing is, it was not the type of Michael Pittman we want to see.
It was a 6.9-yard ADOT.
He should not be used like that.
We remember what happened.
They couldn't protect the quarterback, so they were getting the ball out super quickly, throwing the ball
a ton. There was a point where
Paris Campbell was borderline
must start. He was on such a hot streak.
Michael Pittman, but it was all PPR.
His ADOT in three seasons, Pittman's
been 8.4, 9.8, and then
6.9. It's just, I don't know.
They need to protect the passer better. They also need
a guy who can move a little bit, because that was a problem.
Matt Ryan couldn't move. It's why they went with Ellinger.
So I just...
Well, they went with Ellinger to tank.
I mean, let's be real.
That's true.
But they did cite, you know,
Frank Reich basically apologized to Matt Ryan
for not being able to protect him.
And then this question here from Silver Soul Jones.
Colts fans would like to know,
who's better for the Colts
long term, Hendon Hooker, Anthony Richardson, or Will Levis? I mean, if we were to project out and
say that Anthony Richardson becomes what he could become, it's a no-brainer, but that's the if.
Will Levis, this is why the betting odds have changed. Will Levis in NFL circles is skyrocketing up draft boards.
Now, that doesn't mean he's going to go two.
It doesn't mean he's going to be the second quarterback taken.
But it's just everything that you hear from people who talk to people on teams
and don't report these things, they love Will Levis.
They love the things that he's capable of doing.
Now, he could easily flop.
There's no doubt about that.
But I would say probably will levis if
you're if you're asking me right now of the three guys for a long term okay uh guess what he to me
is in terms of upside and safety he is the the better of that trio upside there's no question
it's richard hey dave can you hear me yeah what's up now we up? Now we're all here. We're all here. Rock and roll.
Ready for technology.
Hooray, Dave is here.
All right, Dave, so here's our topic of conversation.
Carolina, Houston, and Indianapolis.
They have players that stand to hopefully benefit from new quarterbacks.
Carolina, Houston, and Indianapolis.
We talked about Michael Pittman.
Is there anyone else on these teams, maybe a running back,
that you think could get a boost from the NFL draft?
Obviously all the pass catchers in Carolina
because it looks like it's going to be Bryce Young.
Have you talked about Bryce Young and the impact there?
Not really, no.
Okay.
They don't have a great receiving group.
It's a bunch of solid.
Adam Thielen at this stage in his career, pretty solid. He's going to get an opportunity to play a lot. That's good.
DJ Chark, a little bit of potential there. We've been fooled by him before.
Same thing with Aiden Hurst. They really need to add another wide receiver
for the long term. I'm thinking they do that in round two. That
might be the guy who benefits the most and hurts all the veterans who are there.
Okay.
Yeah, look, I'm not going to force a conversation here.
We covered this, and we'll cover it more when the draft actually happens.
There are some other players we need to talk about,
like Tony Pollard and all these running backs.
And I think Tyler Algier, I want to talk about the Falcons,
what they might do with their first pick.
And that will be right after this quick break on fantasy football today.
Did you know that across Ontario utility damage happens 19 times a day?
That's over 4,222 incidents a year.
Don't let your next dig be one that causes costly delays or safety risks.
Before you break ground,
make it a point to request a locate.
It's not just the law.
It's a step to keep your team and community safe.

Data sourced from the ORCGA 2023 Dirt Report.
Welcome back, everybody.
We got the whole gang here today.
And Heath, I know you're going to like this stat.
Just need a moment to bring it up.
But yards per target.
Mike Williams.
I want to talk about the Chargers wide receivers
because they might draft a pass catcher.
We brought this up last week.
But not this specific thing.
Mike Williams, yards per target.
So yards per target, you know, I look at it,
take it with a grain of salt.
But this is a guy every year he's pretty good.
He's been in the league for six seasons, I believe,
maybe five, over the last five seasons.
Yeah, six seasons.
But over the last five seasons,
here are your best wide receivers
in terms of yards per target
who have had 200 or more targets.
A.J. Brown, Justin Jefferson, Tyler Lockett,
Mike Evans,
and Mike Williams as number five.
Then it's Jamar Chase, Tyreek Hill, Debo Samuel,
Mecole Hardeman, surprising, Julio Jones, T. Higgins.
That's a superstar list with some Hall of Famers on there,
and Mike Williams is fifth in yards per target
among wide receivers with 200 or more
targets over the last five years. Um, what do you think happens if the chargers draft a wide
receiver in the first two rounds? I think we're going to lower expectations for Mike Williams,
but, um, and I think he's the problem is you said yards per target, take it with a grain of salt. I would say no.
Just compare guys at similar target amounts,
and 200 over four or five years doesn't really tell us very much.
It means you've got 40 or 50 targets per year.
The problem for him earlier in his career is he was an elite yards per target guy.
He never had more than 80 or 90 targets over a 15-game sample,
so it wasn't that meaningful. Yeah, he was just 80 or 90 targets over a 15 game sample. So it wasn't
that meaningful. Yeah. He was just a willful or a Gabe Davis or whatever. Um, the last two years,
he's both earned a lot of targets and still been in that elite range. Keenan Allen, on the other
hand, gets a ton of targets and is more like Deontay Johnson in terms of yards per target,
which isn't that rare for a receiver that works that close to the line of scrimmage.
I think it depends on the type of wide receiver they add.
But mostly, I think, whoever that first or second round wide receiver is,
we're not going to like them as much as a rookie
as we would have if they'd gone somewhere else.
Dave, if the Cowboys draft a wide receiver in the first three rounds, let's say day one or day two, would that change anything for anyone, for CeeDee Lamb, for Cooks, for anyone?
OK, Jamie, same question to you.
That's a hell of a face.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, you know, this is one of those situations.
Same like the Chargers, you know.
When you have an aging receiver as part of your group,
the Chargers do with Keenan Allen, you know,
so they have to, you know, start to prepare for what's next.
The Cowboys bring in Brandon Cooks.
He's not a long-term solution, you know,
so they have to probably figure out what's best,
especially after Jalen Tolbert didn't work out for them last year year that doesn't mean he can't but you know so i i
wouldn't be surprised but yeah it would change some things i think stevie lamb is still has the
chance to be elite because he's proven that you know picking up his fifth year option is a smart
move on on their part but um look michael gallup they don't know what they have i i think coming
back from you know a year removed from his ac. They're talking him up a lot, which is encouraging. And again, Brandon Cook's acquisition was a very smart move on their part,
but can he still run to the level of what they probably need him to do? So yeah, it would
downgrade probably more so the second and third tier guys as opposed to CeeDee Lamb, because I
think he's still locked into being that guy, that alpha, that elite fantasy option as well.
Okay, now Dave.
David Walker in the chat says,
why wouldn't the Chargers draft a player like Trey Flowers,
or Zay Flowers, excuse me, or similar,
who can replace Keenan Allen when his contract or playing time is up?
What do you think about that?
I think he can be more than that, though.
We talked about Zay Flowers as somebody who, like,
that's his floor is to be a slot receiver not
that Keenan Allen was a full-time slot receiver last year they use them a little bit more on the
outside I think I think Flowers is maybe one of their top targets this year because he can win
downfield there's evidence of that and whether or not he become he becomes the replacement for Keenan Allen
long-term remains to be seen.
He could just be their number one receiver potentially as soon as this year.
And so I think that that's something that they're looking for for their offense.
I'm probably going to mock him to the Chargers in a mock draft
that I'm writing this week and definitely see a fit there.
And not necessarily as a guy who's the next Keenan Allen,
but a guy who can be the first day flowers in this Chargers offense. They need somebody who can attack downfield.
Do you guys think the Falcons might take Bijan Robinson eighth overall?
Does anybody think that's a possibility?
That's also something I'm mocking.
It would surprise me, i i think you know
anytime you have an opportunity to get a difference making player you know if that's the route they
decide to go they just have so so many other holes to fill like it would to me it would not make
sense but um you know you never know what what you know any team is you know we never thought cd
lamb was going to the cowboys for example when they drafted him, knowing the receiving core that they had at the time.
So nothing would be out of the realm of possibility.
But if I'm the Falcons, to me, that would be a stupid draft pick to take Besar Rob.
What have they done each of the past two years?
What?
They've taken an offensive skill position player that they didn't necessarily need.
Well, they didn't have receivers last year.
They absolutely needed them.
They needed them.
Yeah.
Well, I don't think they need them.
They need a quarterback.
Honestly, what they should do is if the Texans pass on CJ Stroud,
they should give Arizona whatever they want to move up to three
to get CJ Stroud.
Okay.
So what?
Okay.
So I think that would be a great spot for for bijan what do you guys think
if he went to the falcons that would be one of the winners winning spots from i don't know if
there's a loser spot for bijan but that would be one of the best spots he'd have a shot at 275
touches they're easy all right let's look at this question here all right jamie well let's look at
this question from Trevor.
If Bijan goes to the Falcons,
where would you take him in a 12-team PPR league draft?
Jamie just said he didn't love it.
Yeah, I mean, look, there's loving him to, like,
there's 25 teams I think I would rather see him go to,
you know, just because I think he's going to lose touches there.
I don't think Tyler Algiers is going to go sit on the bench.
Thoughts, guys? Heath, Dave, anyone?
I think early on, Tyler Algier might not go sit on the bench. But also, they run the ball so much
that Bijan could have 300 touches
and Tyler Algier could have 150.
450 running back touches in an Arthur Smith offense
is no problem at all.
Yeah, I don't think I could resist him as a top 15 pick in PPR redraft.
Definitely first two rounds for me.
Yeah, he's not escaping round two, no matter where he goes.
Yeah, these are tough stats to know everything, what to make of it.
But the Falcons, PFF gave them the number one run blocking grade in the NFL.
And I've mentioned this a lot.
Todd Bowles, head coach of the Bucs, said the Falcons have some of the toughest run schemes
to defend against. Meanwhile, they were 10th best in running back yards before contact per carry.
So I think that's pretty disappointing. Algier was something like 24th in that category,
yards before contact per carry among running backs with 100 or more carries.
He was 24th out of like 42.
Patterson was better.
I think that it was a good year for Algier.
I was watching a little bit of him today.
I feel like he takes what the blockers give him,
and they gave him a lot.
And he's kind of elusive, and he can break tackles,
but he just doesn't run away from people.
I feel like, oh my gosh, if B. John Robinson got the workload
that we want from him, that Algier got down the stretch,
on Atlanta with the way they block, with those schemes,
could just, oh, look at Dave.
I guess the thing that I hate about it is
that doesn't make them a better team overall.
I think it does.
Because they need explosive
plays, and they don't get that from Al Jain.
I mean, again, you're not making yourself a Super Bowl
contender by taking B. John Robinson at eight.
That's why they need to trade
up for a quarterback. So who would you take?
Jamie, you a pass rusher?
I would look decent.
That could be Jalen Carter right there.
Probably
not, right? But it could be Jalen Carter right there. Probably not, right?
But it could be.
Maybe.
I mean, if you get four quarterbacks in the first six or seven picks?
Just trade eight for 14 and Mac Jones,
and then take Bijan at 14.
Okay.
All right.
Does that make them a Super Bowl contender, though? Well, I don't think there's a path. There's not a pick that Does that make them a Super Bowl contender, though?
Well, I don't think there's a path.
There's not a pick that makes the Falcons a Super Bowl contender.
No, not in 2023.
But how do you get there by 2024, 2025,
when you have hopefully a quarterback in place?
I think if they take any of the quarterbacks,
they can make the case that they could at least contend
for the division this year.
Oh, I think they could contend for the division.
The four of us could contend for the division right now.
Disaster.
Yeah, it'd be interesting if Christian Gonzalez
and Tyree Wilson were
available and Bijan Robinson were available.
So Christian Gonzalez, the highest
rated by most people, cornerback
in this draft out of Oregon. Tyree Wilson
defensive end from Texas. I don't think they're going
corner at this point with what their offseason looks like so far.
Probably not, but they don't have a solidified number two starting cornerback.
And Terrell is –
They just cut Casey Avery.
Right.
They traded for –
Okuda.
Jeff Okuda.
But Terrell, they're going to have to pay soon.
So a lot of people think you can never have enough corners, right?
Yeah, it's not a – look, if the choice is B. John Robinson or a corner,
from a team-building standpoint, you take the corner.
A lot of people think you can never have enough corners.
Arthur Smith thinks you can never have enough tight ends.
I don't think they're going to take a tight end at eight.
You don't think so, Heath, right?
No.
Okay, good.
I don't.
Is there anything else here, guys?
I mean, there's so many ways we can go with this,
but might as well just wait for the draft
to unfold a little bit.
But any veterans you're targeting right now in Dynasty
or you're trading away in Dynasty
or anything like that?
I mean, I think the two Chiefs wide receivers
because I looked at their odds last night
and I think they're most likely positioned to draft in round one
as offensive linemen and number two right now by betting odds as wide receiver.
And Tony and Sky Moore are both so unproven
but have such enormous opportunity.
If you added a guy like Zay Flowers or Jordan Addison or someone like that,
it would certainly complicate their path.
I would be looking to sell Tony Pollard
right now if I can get an early
first-round pick for him.
How early? Why?
Because if they draft Bijan Robinson,
which is certainly a possibility.
I don't know that Bijan's making it to 26.
You don't know that
Dallas is staying put at 26?
You think they're going to trade up for Bijan Robinson?
I mean, listen, we're a fantasy show.
I love that we're excited about B. John Robinson.
The NFL does not value running backs. As good as this
guy is, they just don't value that position.
They do when it's a guy like this.
No, they did.
They did four years ago
with Saquon Barkley.
At that point,
it was already a running backs
are meaningless type of league.
It was a passing.
And what have we learned since then?
That they could have taken Baker Mayfield
or Sam Darnold
instead of Saquon Barkley.
The thing is,
yes, running backs are not
going to win you a Super Bowl,
but there are so many busts
in the first round.
And it does seem like B. John Robinson
is one of the safest picks.
I totally agree.
So I don't think he's making it 26.
The league has told us differently.
I don't.
All right, so have there been any prospects even close to this since Barkley?
Close to this?
I mean, Taylor wasn't getting this type of hype,
even though he's not that far off from a prospect.
That class was special,
and they all went in the second round for the most part,
except the Chiefs took the wrong one.
What are Bijan's odds, Heath?
I believe I saw him at like minus 200 for under 15 and a half.
Okay, so that's...
So they're expecting him to go he will in the top 15
but that's the thing Jamie if you say you're trading
Tony Pollard are you running the big risk of
them not getting Bijan Robinson
but it doesn't have to be just Bijan
it could be Jameer Gibbs it could be
Charbonnet you know
from what you would think
a day two running back for them would make sense
unless of course Bijan falls
right and I think there's a bigger I think that's a good call regardless of what happens A day two running back for them would make sense, unless, of course, Bijan falls. Right.
And I think there's a bigger – I think that's a good call regardless of what happens in the draft
because Tony Pollard is pretty old for a running back
who's never been a full-time running back,
and he's only signed to the Cowboys for one year.
Yeah.
So he does not have the same guaranteed outlook
that younger guys in a similar spot.
I think trading him for a first round picks a great goal.
Okay.
So I've got Pollard in our dynasty league.
Let's say you guys were interested in him.
What first round pick would you offer me for him?
Well,
I can only give you my own.
And which is what,
where are you picking in round one?
You're at the back.
I think I'm 10 or 11.
I don't know.
Right.
And I wouldn't do that.
That's what I'm saying. It'd be an early first.
You could tell me if you would. I don't know if I would trade them for 105.
Yes, but you're a contending team.
So it's more along the lines of a team that's not contending that is looking to be competitive in 2024.
That's true.
I would target 103, 104 in a one QB league,
and I would be happy with 106, 107 in a super flex league.
Sure, sure.
I get that too.
The Dynasty League they're talking about is not a super flex league.
No, it's a one QB league.
And Pollard's upside shrivels, even if they get Charbonnet,
just makes perfect sense that Charbonnet could handle
a lot of that Ezekiel Elliott role.
And then Pollard's back to being 40 snaps a game,
35 snaps a game.
I think it triples if they take anybody in the first two rounds,
you know,
the,
the,
the,
there's going to be,
even if it's Gibbs,
you're right.
There's going to be,
you know,
they,
they may go over Spears in the third or fourth round.
You know,
they could have one of those situations where somebody falls to them that they really like.
Look, their depth is not good.
Ronald Jones and Malik Davis are not what you want with a guy coming off a broken ankle.
So they're adding somebody in some capacity.
Again, it could still be Joe Mixon gets cut.
Dalvin Cook gets cut.
They end up in Dallas.
Leonard Fournette goes there.
You know, we could see there's plenty of options that they have. Dalvin Cook gets cut. They end up in Dallas. Leonard Fournette goes there.
There's plenty of options that they have.
The situation that ruins Pollard is something of significance.
Some veteran of significance, some rookie of significance,
and that's why you're trying to get ahead of it.
That's how you win in dynasties.
You're trying to get ahead of these situations.
Yeah.
If you are trying to win in dynasty though, for this year,
maybe you should just keep Pollard because if they sign him to the franchise tag, you got to figure for this year, he's going to have a pretty big role for the Cowboys, right?
Sure. I don't think it's getting worse by any stretch than what it was a year ago,
but to what the guys just said, there there's, there's a pretty clear path of the Cowboys telling us,
their coaching staff said so.
In private meetings with media members last year,
they said so.
That they don't want to put too much on Tony Pollard's plate.
It makes sense.
Keep him as fresh as you possibly can.
And then let him be the elite level player
that he might be for a year or two.
And so adding to that backfield to whatever capacity, a bigger back like
Charbonnet, maybe a smaller back like a Spears or Jameer Gibbs, you know, if that's the route
they decide to go, you know, somebody who is going to take work off of his plate. We're hoping,
I think everybody has him as a breakout candidate. We're hoping that he is going to be a 250 carry
guy, a 45 plus catch guy.
That might not be the case with some significant addition in some capacity.
And there's still, and will probably be more,
but there's still a handful of past really good running backs,
including the one that Dak keeps saying he hopes they re-sign.
Yeah, Zeke, right.
Would you guys, let's just take Pollard specifically here.
If I was going to tell you that the Cowboys were going to draft
Zach Charbonnet or Jameer Gibbs,
who would you rather them draft as the Pollard manager?
Who would be less of a threat to Pollard?
Charbonnet.
Agreed.
I think.
I disagree.
The only thing is, Zeke had, what, 11 touchdowns from the two or closer?
Whatever it was.
He was the goal line back, yeah.
Right.
So if they were to draft Gibbs.
That's Charbonnet, not Gibbs.
Right.
If they draft Gibbs, I don't think Gibbs can handle that role right away.
Does that mean Pollard gets that role?
Oh, wait.
Maybe I got confused with my stupid wording of the question.
If I had Tony Pollard, I would rather draft.
He's a bigger threat to Tony Pollard.
I would rather draft.
Charbonnet is a bigger threat to Pollard than Gibbs.
That's what I think.
You guys agree or disagree with that?
I think Charbonnet is a bigger threat to Pollard's ceiling.
I'm going to do Adam's favorite thing.
I think Charbonnet is a bigger threat in non-PPR
and Gibbs is in PPR.
Gibbs could end up replacing Pollard.
I want Pollard to be
the primary running back for the
Dallas Cowboys. You want him to lead them
in carries and lead them in rushing? I want him to own the
carries. I want him to lead by a significant margin.
Charbonnet, to me, is a bigger threat to
that than Gibbs. And you're willing to sacrifice catches
for that. I'll sacrifice some catches.
I still think Pollard's awesome in the passing game
and cannot just be a two-down back.
You'd be dumb not to get Tony Pollard.
Jamie said earlier, though,
I don't think they're going to make him a three-down rushing back
and they're going to throw him the ball 75 times.
Yeah, he's losing in some ways.
I'll take 40 catches.
You're losing one of those things.
Right, but to the degree of, is he going to lose 20 catches 25 times or so. Yeah, he's losing in some. I'll take 40 catches. You're losing one of those things. Right.
But to the degree of,
is he going to lose 20 catches
because Gibbs is there?
Or is he going to lose every opportunity
to be the goal linebacker,
which is something that was pretty significant
for Ezekiel.
He scored 12 touchdowns last year,
you know, to have a bigger back in there.
But I think, you know,
just to make this a little bit broader conversation,
not just Cowboys.
I mean, would it shock you if the Giants, knowing that Saquon's going to walk maybe in a year,
take a running back? Would it shock you if the Raiders take a running back, knowing that Josh
Jacobs is going to walk? The Titans, if they take a running back because they're a Henry situation,
knowing that he's going to be a free agent next season? There's a lot of guys, you know, and if
the Vikings keep Dalvin Cook, they can go that route. If the Bengals stick with Joe Mixon,
they can go that route. You know, there's a lot of backfields
that are going to be threatened by this class,
you know, to whatever extent they get threatened by,
you know, so from Tyler Algier to, you know.
Right, not the Giants.
That's the thing.
Barkley, and I would hope Jacobs fits in this category
after what he did last year.
They could definitely draft someone for the future.
That guy is not going to do anything significant
to the value of Saquon Barkley.
Yeah, but you say that though.
And look, the Raiders are a better example than the Giants because the Raiders actually
drafted somebody who had at least some of a pedigree was Amir White.
They didn't use him.
So that's great.
But the Giants, knowing that Matt Breida has been a guy that's bounced around the league,
if they go that route, and again, we don't know who's, there's going to be somebody
falls.
That's always the case.
You're talking like a round two or round three?
What are you talking about here?
What round?
No, not round one.
You know, it's – if they find just great value.
You know, there's some buzz just because of the way that they ran at the combine
that Jameer Gibbs on some people's boards is ahead of Bijan Ramos.
It would shock all of us, obviously.
But again, NFL teams view certain players differently.
So Bijan is the first running back that falls. would shock all of us obviously but again nfl teams view certain players differently so bijan
because is the first running back that falls but gibbs slips a little bit or the the shocking case
bijan falls and somebody takes gibbs for first which again would be a surprise but charbonnet
may fall because somebody doesn't want a bigger back or you know someone falls in love like like
dan is with with spears or it's miller or it's you know it's any of these other backs that are being mocked as
the top five guys in the position. Or
receiver. I mean, Zay Flowers may fall, Addison may
fall, somebody may fall, Quentin Johnson may fall.
So you may get one of these situations where, okay,
now, round two,
Giants are like, why would I not move up
to go get Jameer Gibbs and compliment
Saquon Barkley for this year and then maybe we find
out if he's the guy next year. I wouldn't rule it out at all.
Gibbs would be more interesting
because you could immediately plug him
into a third down roll.
I think if the Giants are not taking Barkley
off the field on running downs,
hardly ever.
It's not to take them off the field
on every running down,
but it's anything that's going to be
a knock on where these guys' ceilings are.
I can't, I don't know.
I can't imagine downgrading Saquon Barkley
if the Giants draft a running back in round,
unless it's B. John.
Right, but if you're debating Barkley and Jonathan Taylor,
or you're debating Josh Jacobs and Ken Walker,
or you're debating Derek Henry and somebody else,
these are where these things come into play.
Same thing with Tony Pollard.
Look, we're not going to say, unless it's B. John,
that Tony Pollard's not a top 20 overall pick.
All right, Dave, you want to get in on this? Yeah, I mean, the team that you're missing here is the Chargers.
Austin Eckler, he's in the last year
of his deal. He's getting close to 30. That's the team
that's going to pick one of these running backs.
You're going to see Eckler's value take a hit.
He won't be a top five.
I don't know why that impact would definitely apply to Austin Eckler
and not Saquon Barkley.
It would impact Saquon.
I just don't see the Giants doing it.
Oh.
That's the one place that B. John could go
and they could keep Eckler for a year,
and I would not want to take B. John in the first two rounds.
I think that's the only one I can think of that might actually happen.
Okay, Heath, for Barkley and Jacobs,
what scenario, a team drafts this running back
or a running back in which round
do you think you'd actually downgrade them in fantasy?
Giant's second pick's pretty early, right?
No. I'll tell you pretty early, right? No.
No?
I'll tell you right now.
Mid? Okay.
Then probably just second.
57th overall.
I don't think either one's taking one in the first round.
Obviously in the first round that would.
I think first two rounds it would.
And maybe the Giants are concerned that Saquon means what he says
when he says he's not going to sign the franchise tag.
Right.
And then we get to the point where, okay, he's playing on the franchise tag for both these guys.
You know, do you want to look at the future and get these other guys involved?
Or do you want to just run these guys into the ground and let them hit free agency?
But we can talk about that some other time.
Let's take a break.
When we come back, we'll read your emails at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com.
Welcome back.
Got some good emails.
And if you have any questions on YouTube,
fire away.
Here we go from Ram 12 team,
one QB PPR keeper league.
I can keep seven players forever with no penalty.
I have the sixth and the eighth pick in the first round.
And I also have three picks in the second round,
pick six,
seven,
and nine.
Uh,
the guy drafting first has told me he is selecting Anthony Richardson.
That really confused me because I,
is this like a dynasty draft?
I don't,
I don't think it is.
Um,
what would you get seven players?
That would be 84 players kept.
Yeah,
but still Richardson number one. I mean, that's just 84 players kept? Yeah, but still, Richardson number one?
I mean, that just seems crazy.
But he says he always falls in love with the athletic guys.
I don't know.
Would you guys give up to try to get the number one pick,
or would you try to make a deal with the guy drafting number two?
And he then lists his players below.
But remember, he's got picks six and eight in the first round
and six, seven, and nine in the second round.
And a lot of great players are going to be off the board.
It's a seven-player keeper league, 12 teams. So make a trade to get the first round and six, seven and nine in the second round. And a lot of great players going to be off the board. It's a seven player keeper league,
12 teams.
So make a trade to get the first or second pick.
What would you guys give up with those five first and second rounders that
he has?
You might have to give up almost all of them to move up to two.
And that's if you've got designs on drafting Bijan.
I don't know if it's worth it.
It's a lot to give up, but it depends on who you're keeping.
If you've got seven stud keepers, and you can trade a lot of these picks
that are not really first and second round picks to have B. John Robinson on your team,
I actually think you do do it.
Okay, let's pick his keepers, because he's going to keep Barkley,
Devontae Adams, Travis Etienne,
DK Metcalf,
Calvin Ridley,
probably Justin Fields,
and then maybe Aaron Jones, Joe Mixon.
He's got a good team here.
Yeah, that's exactly what he should do.
He could trade some of those players.
You have enough keepers where you could trade a player
and then still keep someone else.
Does trading the player count as keeping them? enough keepers where you could trade a player and then still, you know, keep someone else. That does,
does trading the player count as keeping them in my keeper league.
You can't trade someone unless you've chosen them.
That's a good point.
It's probably how it works.
All right.
Let me ask.
If,
if he feels like he can get another quarterback at six or seven,
if the guy taking number one is so in love with that,
let a quarterback's just trade Justin Fields for for one and then you get bijan and then your quarterback with your
original pick of six yep um and then i'll just ask you this if would you trade you've got pick
six and eight in round one would you trade pick six seven and nine in round two for the number
one pick yes yes i would trade all five of those picks. The number one pick.
Yes,
you would.
All five of them.
Okay.
Yes.
All right.
If that's what it takes,
that shouldn't be your first offer,
but if that's what it ends up taking to get that pick.
Yes,
you do it.
That's a lot of picks.
Okay.
Next D man.
Who are these players going to be?
That's going to be a,
if you've got the sixth pick and Richardson's going to be gone,
Robinson's going to be gone. I'm sure Gibbs will be gone,
who's left that you're going to be able to get at six overall
in this type of keeper league?
It's not going to be anybody amazing.
What'd you say?
The 12-team league or 10-team league?
12.
12 teams, one QB.
So obviously there's not going to be 15 quarterbacks kept would be my guess
no so it but that's the route i would go i would i would if that manager number one is in love with
mobile quarterbacks here's justin fields i'd rather have bijan robinson and kirk cousins
than justin fields and yeah whoever else he may do that yeah all'll do that. All right, guys.
Well, if you know the guy picking first is going to take Anthony Richardson,
you can just make a trade with the guy picking second, too.
Correct, but you don't know what the guy at second is going to do. Right.
That guy might already have Mahomes as his quarterback.
Why would he want Fields?
Okay.
Sorry.
Next email is from Corey from Lansing.
Since my teen years, I've played two things in the nerdosphere,
fantasy football and Dungeons & Dragons. None. cred of the FFT team. I know you're great at fantasy football, but what experience do any of you have with the world's greatest role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons?
None.
You're not going to read his name, right?
I read it.
Oh, what was it? Corey.
Corey. I don't have any idea
anything about Dungeons & Dragons.
Same. I have a friend
who's in a pretty
big Dungeons & Dragons I don't know, like, world. I have a friend who's in a pretty big Dungeons & Dragons,
I don't know, world.
I have no idea.
I'll see if I can get him to talk about it.
It would interest everyone.
I'm going to sound like an idiot because everybody loves that.
Is that the game that they play on Stranger Things?
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
All right, last one here.
GS from the desert.
Or is that dessert?
Probably, yeah.
Okay, he calls us erudite fantasy football scholars.
That's interesting.
10-team keeper league, half PPR, one QB, six-point per passing touchdown.
I can keep Justin Fields for two years in the 13th and then the 12th round,
but the current holder of the first overall pick is a Bears homer
and is offering that first overall pick for Fields.
I could have Jonathan Taylor, Saquon Barkley, or Cooper Cup.
We keep players in the rounds drafted,
so I wouldn't get any long-term value out of that first pick.
I also have Eckler and Lamb, both as later round picks.
The only elite QB not being kept is going
to be Josh Allen, who might make it to
pick 110.
So anyway, he's got amazing value
here on Justin Fields,
who he can keep in the 13th round this year
and the 12th round next year, or he can trade him
for one year of Barkley or Eckler
or Kup, whoever he chooses.
What do you think?
Or yeah,
or Bijan.
What do you think guys?
Can he,
can he keep them for a first round pick?
Like let's say he drafts Bijan.
Can he keep him next year for a first rounder?
I don't think so.
For the last sentence makes one thing clear is that he can trade Fields and then keep Eckler and Lamb.
So 100%, without a doubt, you should trade Justin Fields.
Okay.
He can only keep two?
Right.
But somehow he can trade one of his guys that he's not keeping.
No, I think he's keeping them and Fields.
Or, he doesn't say how many he can keep.
Yeah, it doesn't say how many he can keep.
Oh, I thought he said.
He wrote in the email, my other keepers are Eckler and Lamb.
Okay.
Both of them later on.
So I think he's keeping those guys anyway.
I'm making the trade.
Yeah, I'm making the trade.
I guess the other question, though, would be is the manager he's trading with,
do they have a quarterback that may have good value as well?
I know you said Josh Allen's not being kept,
but this is the type of things you do to try and take advantage of fandom.
So if the Justin Fields Bears fan has, let's say, I don't know,
Justin Herbert maybe, Lamar Jackson maybe,
one of those guys that are going to be ranked Trevor Lawrence,
5, 6, 7, 8 in that range,
then maybe you could swing that type of deal also.
Justin Fields and something for pick 101 and something else,
another quarterback.
Jamie, do you often button the top button?
No, I did today
for some reason. I think it was because it was
too open with the microphone.
Oh, it was a microphone thing? Okay.
I won't make fun of you then. Looks like you're about to go
golfing.
It is a golf shirt, yes.
You don't golf.
No, I did have
not a funny experience, but funny I guess guess, not as bad as yours. So
usually once a week, I meet a few friends of mine, dads that we have kids in preschool,
and we go to Dunkin' Donuts with the kids before school. And so Heath will know this, Dave,
I don't know if it was raining by you, but it was pouring in Boca. And so usually Simon, my five-year-old, we usually get there first because I drop off my other two
kids at their elementary school. So we usually play catch in the Dunkin' Donuts Plaza. There's
like a little area we throw the baseball around. And so we're playing catch for probably like,
I don't know, maybe 10 minutes. It's raining over there. And a very, very, very kind
sheriff's officer said, excuse me, is that your van over there? I said, I said, yes. Did I do
something wrong? He said, no, your door is open. So the car is just getting rained on.
Oh my God. Oh no. Oh, that's terrible. Usually he closes the door. It's like one of those
automatic, you know, doors. Usually he pushes the button button i guess he didn't do it and i just walked away because it was raining and uh
for 10 minutes it's just pouring into my car oh how bad was it it actually wasn't horrible because
the rain i guess for the most part was going the other direction but his seat was soaked that's so
bad in another seat yeah and dave speaking of soaked i overflowed nando's toilet uh at his house
i texted nando i go nando how in the world did you not say anything about this because i told Nando's toilet at his house.
I texted Nando.
I go, Nando, how in the world did you not say anything about this?
His reply was,
he made me feel bad about always running back
and telling you everything.
Yeah, that's true.
