to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in Tuesday, the end of February. What day is it? It's the 24th. We're just a couple of guys doing a show. The Fantasy Footballers podcast, Andy, Mike. Cardboard bear, extraordinaire. Yes. It looks a little different in here, Mike, in the midst of some studio renovations.

Yes. You, the listener at home may not have fully realized. I mean, we said, hey, we're recording some stuff early because the three of us are going to take a break. And while that was going, the shows are still coming up. But the crew around here, because we said get to work. We're out. No, physically get to work. Tools.

And we got a little... Adhesives. We got some studio renaos going on. We actually have a new back wall. The brick has been swapped out. We have new... Go to the two-shot. ...the-to-the-shot.

Go to the two-shot. We have some new lighting. What's this? It is not a completed project by any stretch of the imagining. That's why Jason wouldn't show up. He's like, if it's not completely ready for me, I'm not setting foot into the office. He is still in his trailer? Yes.

He's in his trailer. And he's in a bad mood. because we're not done. But we are working on it. And the guys did a lot of hard work while we were gone. I feel like I've been gone in eternity, even though we had a show on Thursday, because I missed that show.

Right. And then we took a week off. And I purged my brain from football, mostly. I'm focused on current events like 90s basketball. But we're back in the building. You love the Jordan cards. I do love 90s hoops, yeah. But it is Tuesday.

February 24th, Mike Wright is here. I'm Andy Holloway. This is the fantasy footballers podcast. We would be remiss if we didn't tell you the ultimate draft kit. The Dynasty Pass is live right now. Yeah, we got a deadline coming up. Combine. No.

Oh, you're talking about for the promo. Yes. Yeah, I thought you're talking about the impending combine, which we release a second update to the Dynasty Pass after the Combine. but no, it is the 24th of February, and if you don't pick it up by March 1st, you're going to miss out because you'll have a chance to win a listener league spot to play with us in 2026.

So ultimate draft kit.com. If you're already an ultimate foot clan member, you're entered to win. If you've already picked it up, you're entered to win. But this is the lowest price you're going to get on the Ultimate Draft Kit, the number one draft day tool, all of the tools and resources, the Dynasty Pass, all that stuff.

Ultimate draft kit.com. And I would say if you're going to get it, you know, because we know a lot of you wait a while. If you're going to get it, get it with a shot to be in the listener league. I mean, I would. And that's UltimateDraftKit.com. All right. We have a quick question today, Mike.

I say, we do real quick. We need to be better on following up on these because we put out the call. Oh, we do. We put out, do we got the horn? I think so. There, there we are. Ladies and gentlemen, Foot Clan, you did. it. The FSGA Awards took place. The best social media content, which is completely a fan vote.

Bang! Took it down, baby. Took it down. We are so back. So thank you for taking the time to vote for us. So we did take home that award. Got us a nice little trophy when we appreciate it. Yeah, no. And I think we also took home the best video show. And once we won that, we were like, let's change it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're like, let's change everything about it. Down. All right, we do have a quick question, Mike. Shall I proceed?

Yes. Okay. We wanted to ask the question right here right now, late February. Which players do you estimate will have the biggest drop in average draft position this upcoming season? Which, it's hard to predict because we don't know where free agency is going to land and where the draft's going to go, but there are players that are subject to change. There's a couple freebies. I think Isaiah Pacheco is the. the big time one

who he was a fifth round pick last year and he will be completely replaced on the Kansas City Chiefs I think he's even is he a free agent I think there was some news that broke about him a couple days ago as well but it's just he he will be replaced yeah he's played four years so he will be looking for a

new contract and I don't the way that things have turned for him man he burned Bray he burned real bright in those first two years and then just was never able to keep it going. But, I mean, he will go from a fifth round pick to be basically undrafted, because I can't imagine he's getting a free agent job. Yeah, and I would say the one that I went with is the player I want to talk about. Because I think there was a point where I thought he'd be traded, but with the recent news about Travis Hunter's role in the offense, I no longer believe that at all. It's Brian Thomas Jr. who was a second round pick. He was a sensational.

rookie and his underdog ADP right now is in the fifth round. I think it'll stay around there. I think there's great hesitation around Brian Thomas Jr. There should be. And it's just a strange thing when a player goes out and shows you what they were capable of doing as a rookie, putting up prolific numbers, certainly acting the part of a true alpha. And then to what happened this year, the emergence of Parker Washington, they trade for the trade and extension for Jacoby Myers, the drafting of Travis Hunter. Like we are all going to have to adjust our expectations for Brian Thomas Jr.

There may be dominant games. I don't think there'll be dominant seasons anymore in the same tier that he did as a rookie. And that's, to me that's a weird thing when your rookie season may be the best one you have for your entire career. Yeah. But it feels like that for Brian Thomas Jr. And so I don't think he's going to be traded. But then, and the news recently has been that Travis Hunter is going to be a full-time

corner, part-time offensive wide receiver, which, I mean, that gives Brian Thomas Jr. some stability. The Travis Hunter thing is so weird. I don't know if there was ever thinking back, like, could it really fully

work? Like, they traded a lot to go get Travis Hunter, who, great player, I think he can be excellent at whatever position they specialize him in. But the the allure of the unicorn who could play. He's like, oh, can he play two full-time starter positions for us?

I don't know if I don't know if that's ever going to come to pass. And trading all that to move up to number two for a DB. It's the trade that does it because it's like if you just had the pick. Oh, and you draft the prolific corner back. I'm fine with that. And you get some offensive reps from that corner. I mean, that's cool. I mean, it's like the trade that you traded for someone that you felt like you needed to be full-time both ways.

Yeah. And I don't think it's, doesn't sound like that's going to happen. Which I just wonder, though. Like, I just wonder how alternate history plays out if he doesn't get hurt. He had a 100-yard, like, 10 catch, whatever it was, 14 target game. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was like, that was the moment I traded for him in a fantasy league. It was, there was a lot of garbage in there. There was.

These were bloated numbers of a team that was down multiple scores. But it was post-by, and it was like, ever. that they had worked him into the offense. I think it was right before the buyer. Oh, you're right because he got hurt on the Bible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he had the big game and then you're like, maybe they do even more with the bylaws.

All that being said, it's like after that point in time, they extended Jacoby Myers, right? After that point in time, Parker Washington has a breakout due to opportunity, which shows them what they have in him. So I guess I just wonder what would have happened. Sure. And obviously an injury changes everything. That's the luxury of Travis Hunter.

Is it's like if Parker Washington goes down, if Brian Thomas goes down, You can play him more. Yes, you can. You can play them more on the offensive side. So that's kind of the name for me. Outside of Pacheco, Mike, is there another name that you think is really vulnerable? Well, I mean, I said there's a couple of freebies.

I'll throw Camara in there as well, who right now, he was a fourth round pick last year. Right now in best ball, he is going in the 13th round, as we all expect. We expect a replacement of some sort for Camara as it's, you know, as he faced. off or rides off into the sunset. I'm not going to call fate. Alva Camara ruled. Alva Camara had a great career. All great things must come to. Yeah, but they have to, especially at the running back position.

I wonder the the panther situation at running back is going to be very interesting. We all expect Rico to elite. I expect Rico to leave. Yeah.

Will he get the bag that he wants? I don't think he will ever be content in this world. I really don't. Like Rico will always accurately think he gets if he gets paid, but I don't know that the, I don't know that the bag nor the starting role is out there for him. But I think at this point, no matter what,

even if he goes and takes a time share backup position, it's not going to be with the Panthers. I think he's going to be too upset. And then you have, what do the Panthers do of Chuba who's still, I mean, still being paid very, very well. And then Jonathan Brooks.

is Jonathan Brooks actually back after another ACL tear. I won't be shocked if they take a running back. Oh, man. What a mess. In the middle to late rounds as well. Well, they have Trevor E.T.N. as well. Sure. Who they drafted.

So maybe they feel like to have enough. Chuba, who was a fourth rounder last year. Right now he's in the eighth. He's going to be, I think he'll be very interesting of like a guy in that those later rounds. They're like, this is a starting running back for a team that really can get the run game going. Chuba in the fourth was not super alluring to me last year of, I mean, I'm team Rico, and it kind of just turned into a big mess for everybody. But Chuba in the eighth? Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, more interesting. Yeah, there'll be a lot of, you know, we've got the combine coming up. We'll have the draft, we'll have a free agency. And a lot of these depth charts are going to shake out. Yes. And we update those as well in the ultimate draft kit, keep you apprised of everything. Let's catch up on some news. News and notes from around the league.

All right, we just said it. The NFL Combine starts on Thursday, February 26th with those boring defensive linemen and linebackers. Yeah. And then Friday they give you the DBs, and then they're like, hey, here, have a little tight ends in there. Well, I mean, that'll be fun. Ken you on Sadiq? We will be on Sadiq, watch. Eli Stowers.

I mean, there's some interesting tight ends this year. Sadiq does lead the way, though, as someone who... He's probably going to crush the combine. Oh, he absolutely will. He is a very athletic big man. I genuinely think he's going to be pushing top 10. Oh, man. Which is a terrifying proposition for fantasy players.

Yes. Which we're going to talk about one getting franchise tag that we have to deal with for years. Saturdays, quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs. and then Sunday the offensive linemen. Big news, though, the Cowboys, they signed Giovante Williams to a three-year $24 million contract. Congratulations, Javonte. That feels like a true accomplishment.

It does. Because he could have been like the worst-case scenario for a running back prospect. Never get paid. Flame out of the league due to injury. And I don't know, get a job at Walmart. Yeah. But instead, he redeems himself with a fabulous year in Dallas,

and now they sign them to a three-year deal. 16 million guaranteed. Congratulations, Javante. Cowboys, Stephen Jones, said the team will place the franchise tag on George Pickens. It's the only way forward. It's the only way. Well, I'm saying, like, this is, you have to.

You can't just let George Pickens walk. Yeah, whether it's sign and trade from this point or keep him or extend him or whatever. This is, unfortunately, this does not give us any true information on what is the future, like what is 2026? for George Bickens, where will he be? We still don't know that, but this was the first piece that had to happen.

Another bit of franchise tag news, Kyle Pitts, the expectation of the Falcons. Oh, boy. We'll use the franchise tag on Kyle Pitts and work on a long-term extension. Kyle Pitts, he is 25 years old. Dude.

Oh, Kyle. He did have a game. A game of games, though, I mean, an all-time record. There you go. You think of their offense right now, and you're like, you take Kyle Pitts out of it, and they feel doomed.

Like, how do you give Michael Pinnock's any chance at being a success if you're just deleting Kyle Pitts from this offense, and it's Drake London, who dealt with injuries and no one else in the receiver room? So that'll be interesting. Kirk Cousin's going to get released. So it'll be Michael Pinnock's with another shot. Do you think it works out?

Kyle's listening with Bated Bro. I am hopeful? Nope, no. Nope, I lied. I lied. I'm very, very skeptical. I'm hopeful in terms of I want it to work because I want every quarterback to work.

I'm not hopeful thinking it will work. Kyle's thoughts are, quote, nothing will ever work out. That's a very Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns. He is good, good. I still think those four teams, we should pool our players. I mean, let's figure this thing out. Seahawks, unlikely.

It was first reported that they would, or might consider it, but now unlikely to franchise or transition tag. Super Bowl MVP, Kenneth Walker. Get that's money, Ken. You want him to leave? Or you just want him to sign a big deal there? I just want, I want my guy to get paid. and I mean, yeah, there's a couple spots I'd rather him go to.

Because Charbonnet will come back. Like, the ACL is not the end of Charb's career. No. It's not the end of Zach Gertz's career either. Oh, my gosh, this guy. But, like, Walker coming back, he'll have, you know, despite what happened there at the end in the playoffs where they had no choice and they have to keep giving him the ball over and over. to great success I might add Super Bowl MVP

but like if Charbonnet had torn his ACL in week five or six like they wouldn't have gone just Walker they would go get someone else to have the complimentary piece so if he goes back to Seattle you know what it will be that's that's where it's I don't necessarily want him to go back selfishly for my dynasty yeah and then you know

I know injuries never concern you but it's one of those things or is like, did his success come by them managing? Is that the situation where Ken Walker's best in this league? Could be. It could be. Managed reps, not every rep. But this one just blows my mind.

I feel like we could spend forever in the news with what we have here. The Jets will quote, probably, according to the athletic Zach Rosenblot, probably use the franchise tag on Brees Hall. Look, I understand, let me say something. I understand that they got no idea what they're doing. You're a professional athlete. You're one of the, I believe, 027% of the kids that grow up to become a professional athlete. I'm talking to Breeze.

So I'm saying all this to say, I understand like how fortunate he is to be a professional running back. But of all the players I've ever known, he feels the most in prison than anybody I've ever. I just, how do you not, you don't like him, but you keep him. It's like a dysfunctional marriage or something. Just let him go. Let him go be free. Yeah, he will. It's better for the kids.

If he signs and plays on the franchise tag, yes, we're talking a lot of money for him, but then nothing guaranteed for the future. Like, you play on the franchise tag. Franchise tags for Ronnie Bex is just awful. You're saying because their windows are so small to make money. Because if he goes out on the franchise tag, blows up his knee. Kyle, figure out what that number is.

is going to be this year. Because we got like CMC's contract. You've got some big contracts out there. I wonder if it represents two or three years with the money in some regards. It could. But yeah, to me it's just weird. It feels like vindictive. Kyle's saying 14 and a half.

I mean, that's a lot of money. I know. It's a lot of money. But it's like, Breece Hall in the open market, But Brees Hall gets more than 14 and a half guaranteed. He does, but he should probably get that after this year. Yeah. But yeah, I get what you're saying.

Also, you don't want to spend your entire career playing for garbage. It feels like the more he wants out, the more they want to keep him. The trade deadline felt vindictive and stupid. They could have gotten money or picks for him then. And then now it feels like maybe there's a trade in the works. Maybe it's just let's get assets. Let's franchise him and trade them. I don't know.

Tyree Kill has been released. Okay. Congratulations, I guess. There's part of me that feels like it's Kansas City or bus for his return. I don't think he's going back. Yeah. And he still has a nebulous legal surroundings. Oh, let's talk about.

Oh, hey. Rashi Rice. You know, the news was not all just like basic bullet point news. Because we also, I mean, we got the, the super tragic news about Rondale Moore. Yes. We're out in Arizona. I mean,

Arizona drafted Rondale Moore. He was a part of this franchise for a long period of time. I mean, there's no, you know, seemingly okay way to even react to that news. Sure.

Because it's just, just report it. It's super tragic and sad. And, you know, he had gone through catastrophic injuries and multiple years in a row. And when we talk about him on the show,

not him, but like injuries, it's just like a sentence. Yeah. Like for us, it's a sentence of like, okay, this guy tore his ACL. For the player, it's like, you know, it's years of rehabilitation and work and time

and all the implications for your career and life's work. Instead of getting to play the games, you're just trying to fix your knee. Yeah, and this is not a player with a secured. It's not like his entire future in the NFL was secured coming back from injury either. So it's really sad to get that news. So we do have other chiefs news,

the restructuring of Mahomes contract to save the money. And then the Rashi Rice news, he was accused, according to TMZ, of violent and abusive behaviors in a lawsuit. It's a civil lawsuit. The news around Rashi Rice this time of year from about February to September, not really been great.

No. No, it has not. There was also rumors for Kansas City about their interest in Travis E.T.N., which probably the biggest reason that Jason would like to be here right in this moment, is to think about his dynasty team. with Travis E.N. landing in Kansas City.

It would be pretty good. He's a free agent. I think it would be pretty, pretty good. Not everyone can go to Kansas City and have like superstar success. Travis E.T.N. would be awesome there. He would.

Zach Ertz is expected to return for a 14th season and to be clear from his ACL injury, which was in week 14 of last year by week one. I looked at the career numbers for Zach Ertz. It feels like the world tried to retire him after 2020.

And this will be six seasons since then if he plays this year. Right. So he's kind of sticking it to you, Mike. He won't get out of the way. He, yeah, and I hate what Zach Hertz has become

in my life. He's a roadblock to all your other players. Yes, because Zach Ernst is an all-timer. Like, I think he's like top 10 in receptions and yards at the position. in the history of the NFL. He is an all-time player. Great player. Can still help a team. But yeah, I mean, it was like, Zachertz was in the way of Tray McBride. You like, you couldn't get who is now we look at. One of the best tight ends in the league. I think he has more coaches than Jason Whitten.

I think he has more career catches than Jason. There were, there were multiple years where it was like, dude, PPR, Zachertz. It was awesome. but in the way of nothing man we got the falcon back there giggling because you said pee pee pee pee oh it just it was a normal sentence okay okay you know grow up

goodness gracious he can't even raise his head but he was so he does not have it was a one year contract with Washington as I assume we're referring to Ben's Senate who we are I still I have Well, I have a hope that he'll just get a chance.

That's where it starts. Of course. You just want to get a chance and see if it will actually work. So where will he go? What team would Washington actually bring him back? Not completely sure. Well, one more for you, Mike. The Patriots.

Ah, yes, yes. Patriots have officially released Antonio Gibson. Yeah. I mean, that was pretty inevitable. All right. We'll take a break. We'll come back with some mailbag. All right, let's get into it.

Mailbag. Do you have a nice break? I had a delightful break. Yeah? Do you think about football very much? I mean, I was still checking in on the Twitter X machine just so I can stay apprised of the news. But I was trying to unplug.

You went up north for a little bit, didn't you? Yeah, oh yeah. Those red rocks. I got healed in the vortex. Sedona? Yeah. How long were you up there? Three nights.

That's nice. Look out. The vortex will get you. They're everywhere there. I don't, I don't even know what they are. I don't know what they're. Is that, is that an aliens thing? It's an energy.

Oh, is there, there's crystals and. Up in the vortex? Vortices, vortexes? Brother, I couldn't not know what you're saying more. Also, how would it, like, when someone says vortex, I imagine, like, literally a tornado. Yeah, that's what I picture. But it's violent and it's probably got some lightning in it. But this is a healing tornado.

It does the opposite. It puts stuff back together. Honestly, at this point, I'm really glad I didn't, I wasn't up there after all that you said. It was awesome. All right, we're into the mailbag. If you have a question, go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com. Click that, submit a question button or dial our voicemail hotline. 302-464 TFFB.

Looks like we got a voicemail question. Not sure I'm a fan of the topic. Let's find out. Hey, ballers. What on earth do I do with Kyle and Marion Day and Dynasty? Help me out. I feel like this is going to be a fun one to talk about on the show. Take care.

All right. Kyler Murray in Dynasty. My current thought process and belief is, I think he's the quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals this year. I know there's a lot of smoke. So I'm not saying it won't be surprising if he's moving on. I just believe that where the Cardinals are. with the contract situation that he probably just ends up playing it out in 2026.

He's a $52 million cap hit right now in 26, and then it drops substantially down to a 7.2 if they were to cut him after this year. But I think he ends up just in Arizona. You need to hold on to him. Let the new scent of Lefleur, as, or I'm sorry, the scent of McVeigh by way of LaFleur coming in.

Let that give you some hope. Everyone right now is, you know, like they're looking at Minnesota. And it's like, who can we get to Minnesota? How do we get quarterbacks to Minnesota? I think Kyler's in Arizona, and I think that J.J. McCarthy is the starting quarterback for Minnesota, despite what all the media is trying to do right now.

Yeah, I'm really curious what. So I would just be holding. What's going to happen? Yeah, I think there's no way his value can be lower than right now. Correct. There's probably no player with a more negative sentiment that's potentially fantasy valuable if they're a starter. Then Kyler Murray.

Nobody's interested. They've all decided that they're out. I don't know if he'll be in Arizona or not because I don't really know who's pulling the strings there. Like you bring in the floor as sort of you waited a long time to bring him in. You wanted Kubiak. you know, Bidwell is kind of controlling. Oh man, do you see people talking to Bidwell again?

Yeah, about him being the president. Yeah. And he's like, well, no, I'm the president. I know. And you're like, we know, we know, we know little guy. You're doing a bad job. We know a little guy. A bad job.

We know, buddy. We know you got, you got, you own the team, buddy. You did a, you worked real hard and you got the team. The numbers are staggering for NFL teams of owners who make them, sells the president versus owners who bring someone in to be a president. The teams that bring someone else in far, far more success. I wonder why. I wonder why bringing in a full-time person who's like, you're a, you are a football,

you can be the president. You could be the manager of the football team over the guy who just got the team. And all that to say, I think it's going to kind of be up to them. Do they want the reset, like, psychologically in Arizona? Because you bring in a new coach, you let go of Gannon. There's part of me that thinks that they, whether it's the right decision or not, Leflore might not get the say in it, and they may just want the reset. They might.

To, you know, new coach, new quarterback. Is it Malik Willis? Is it Tyson, Bejant? Tyler, Bejit, right? What, secret Bejit, man? You didn't know this? No, I have not heard this. No, there's rumors around Bejant.

No way. about Tyson Bajent coming to Arizona and being the quarterback. No. Because Chicago paid him a decent amount of money to be a backup. So it would be a trade. But there's rumors of some interest there. Look, it's all the path to number one for Arizona. It's all a path to Arch Manning or Dante Moore or something.

That's my view of this season. I think the Cardinals, the reason they wouldn't bring Kyler back is that they want, they want to go out there and compete their way to number one. It's very possible. Just to kind of wrap up with the question. because I believe that Kyler is the quarterback for Arizona, that still has value for dynasty.

You want starting quarterbacks on your roster no matter what. And also, what if I'm wrong? And he goes to Minnesota. If Kyler Murray ends up the starting quarterback of Minnesota, he will be good for fantasy football. And that will be like a complete change in people's perspectives.

I feel very confident about that. I, like it, you know, J.J. McCarthy, it didn't immediately work fantasy-wise for him. But when you get competent quarterback play for Minnesota and the KOC offense,

Carson, Carson Wentz. It was fine. So in Dynasty, the value is way too low right now to get anything back. So I'm just going to hold cross the fingers. Would you actually go get him? Because it's that low, man. It's that depressed. Sure. I feel like

he would be, I feel like you could go get him for, like, let me ask you this. Would you trade Riley Leonard for him? Yeah. Okay. You're saying the, like, the, just the hopeful backup quarterback. Would you trade Will Howard for him? Oh, yeah, probably.

I mean, that one, it feels like more of a longer shot that Will Howard actually ends up to start it for Pittsburgh. Than Riley? Then. I feel like Howard is a higher odds than Riley. Yes, yeah, but I'm saying they're both very low odds compared to what Kyler represents for your team. Would you trade Tyson, Bates? For him? Yes, I would.

Okay. And I, like, if I'm a team that needs a quarterback in this particular drive class, I'll send a third. That's what I'm curious about. Yeah. I'll send a third for a second. I don't think we mentioned that there was a report that the Colts are looking at a long-term deal with Daniel Jones.

Yep. So, makes sense. This question comes in from Twitter from Booky Betts. Which team do you think will go from worse to first in their division? one team, so since 2015, at least one team every year drafting inside the top 10, either wins their division or 12 games that year. Interesting. So worst to first.

So what are the worst teams? We've got the Jets, Browns, Titans, Raiders in the AFC. We've got the Giants. Right? The Lions? Yeah. The Lions finished four. I mean, give me a layup.

The Saints and the Cardinals, I mean, I would say it's the Lions and Giants. I think those are the two most interesting ones. The Giants are interesting to me. It's funny is I would put it on Shuck. I mean, that division's one to pick four. Yeah. No, I mean, I don't. That division is always wacky.

I don't blame you for that at all. So from worse to first, I would say, I think the saints have the best chance. What happened to your, what happened to your giant? You think they got a shot? They have a shot. Sure, they have a shot. It's looking at the opponents. Like the lions, it does feel like the layup,

but it's like Chicago and Green Bay are legit. Yeah, the divisions are way harder. And Minnesota's season is so funny. They were nine and eight. Yeah. The Vikings were two games out of first place in the NFC North and everyone's view of the, was like this season was an absolute disaster.

They were 9 and 8. They won their last five games, I think. Like, they are, the Vikings are not out. From 9 and 8 again. Instagram question from Tim in Ohio. What do you think Cam Scataboo? Well, he says Cam Scatabum.

Yes. What is his ceiling next year? He had that ankle fracture dislocation. We'll see what happens. happens if he's ready in the, you know, the later part of the off season for week one. Sealing for, I mean, I love the past catching of Cam Scataboo, and I love the established relationship between him and Jackson Dart. I mean, what is the ceiling? Do you want a number?

Can I know what you're going to ask? Can Scataboo be a top 12 guy? Probably. He was on his way. Yeah, I would say probably. I think I'd probably, if you had said, top 10, I might have paused. I mean, I think probably 10 to 15 is where I project his potential. Yeah, I think that's about right. I mean, part of his success, I mean, you had a couple things go right when he was kind of cooking. You had injury, right? The rest of the backfield was pretty beat up. You had no Malik neighbors in the passing game.

But, yeah, I mean, he's 24-year-old running back. I can catch the ball. I mean, you've got to imagine he can finish. sure he's going right now in best ball as the running back 19 so yeah he is being injury concern he's being drafted aggressively for someone whose ankle was you think 19 is high it just based off like right now right now to invest at running back 19 it was someone you don't know for sure they're going to be ready for the season that that's where I think that again I mean that's why they think the best ball plays in a big part there because ceiling, you know, you're betting on a swing. And when you're 24, year two, I think that you have high upside, even if there's a lot of risk. Here's a couple names going behind Scataboo right now.

Trayvion Henderson. Okay, that's interesting. Javante and R.J. Harvey. That's what I mean. I would say, that's an aggressive threat. Trayvion, I'm surprised is not ahead of him. Javonte and Harvey, I would probably put behind him in a best ball league. For sure. Not in a redraft. I think I think of it different in a redraft. What is this question? What is, what, who put this in here? I don't know, read it. I don't even, I don't want to read it.

I'm going to make Al read it. Al, next question. Oh, from Ben. Next question. Ben M. Levy. This one's from Ben M. Levy. Yes, over on Instagram.

And he wants to know what does Jason smell like. And I have to defer this to the captain of the ship because. Dude, I can't smell nothing. Whiskey. Old fashions. Leatherbound books. He smells like a... I'm very happy to report that I don't know.

Like, it's not an odor in which I can know that. Which means he's doing... Like, I'm not a fragrance guy. Are you a fragrance guy? I'm not. Does anyone here do the cologne? I feel like Falcon probably does. Are you shaking his head?

Nope. I do. You do? What's your, what's your scent? Cheap stuff. I don't know. I'm not saying it without sponsorship money. Oh, okay, okay, okay.

He smells more like a roller skate rink. And I'm embarrassed. Axe body spray. It's close to that. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's an axe knockoff? Yeah, I can't afford that.

Like machete? I think it's called. bod man. Oh, oh yeah. Oh man, I can't believe you made me admit this on the Windex bottle. Yeah, it sure does. For more because you get more? Yeah, like if do you need to smell good? I'd be surprised he doesn't mix his own. And also applies like cleaner. This thing is like index.

It's it's not a pump. It's not a finger pump. It's a full you pull. You need a third party to bring it come in here and bring you down. I mean, I'm happy to say. I wish I hadn't spoken up. You're not. Oh, dude, that's great. The worst guy is the is the too much the too much guy can know how you get too much a windex bottle this one comes in a hose oh he has nothing left to say

I mean I don't I'm HR here I haven't had any complaints about you being an overpowering sense so you're all right say something all right because a an over a coloner that'll nuke a whole building permanent no you've never done that

see we couldn't If we had known that you were a bod man, we would have gone straight to you in this segment to start it. Do you use the one? The name of the sense is even more embarrassing. Yeah, do you use the one that is called really ripped abs? That's the one. Does it work?

No. It's the smell of it. It smells nice. Does it smell like really ripped abs? What does that smell like? No, I don't know. I want to describe for the audio audience. What this, I'm looking at a picture of this.

this looks like something you would detail your car with 100% this is what you spray onto your dash and then buff it off amazing oh yeah Kyle just said it looks like armor all it is it's his armor

shine your dash and smell like cash what do you want to smell like really ripped ass yeah the other scent is most wanted oh they're getting a lot of of airside. As you see, I'm not sure we're getting a sponsorship on this, on this product anytime soon.

What an amazing time to take a break. I'm just, I'm just visualizing the, the process in the morning of putting it on. Well, I'm looking at the names of, there's other more names? There's uppercut. I'm happy to spend the rest of the day right here. Okay, upper cut. Look out for, uh, there's uppercut, really ripped abs. Most wanted liquid titanium. Come on. We're just, this is a product invented by AI. But there's Fresh Guy. Fresh guy sounds all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is that a winter green? What colors that bottle? I don't know. They're, it's out of stock. I hope every fragrance is the same. I hope every bottle is the same smell and they just name it different stuff. What is like the fruit loops or what's the?

Oh, yeah, where the, the, you're like, it's actually just the same. the same flavor. Yeah. This is incredible. I hope there's, I hope there's one that's like bald spot. Every insecure, it's just named after insecurities of men.

Mobs. Lovely handles. Are you, sir, do I detect a hint of moops? Oh. Oh, my. Very sophisticated. Oh, yes. Do I catch some really ripped abs?

Oh, I love the off-season so much. What do you think, Jay? Ah, yes. He's more of a musk, man. Of course. Oh, there we go. There we go. I hope you graduate through them as you get into better shape.

Oh, gosh. They're going to get a random sales spike. Oh, this is fabulous. Well, thank you for your question, Ben. Oh, man. And you'll be able to buy autograph bottles of a bod by Al Borland on the shop tomorrow. Question from Aaron Brown, 9751. Where do you rank Chargers weapons with a healthy offensive line?

Which wide receiver would be the number one? You got McConkey and Trey Harris, Quentin Johnston, I think Quge is still at the top for me. When they say weapons, are you counting, I mean, are you counting Hampton? Gadsden? I think they just want to know about the wide receiver. Don't make it too complicated. Well, uh, LAD or Trey Harris.

If I had to pick one, I'm picking Ladd. Okay. Of that group. I mean, I just, he does not probably have the, the monster upside but I feel the safest with him is that a bad feeling no I think it's fun the chargers start but he kind of got it going

the chargers are going to be very fun of seeing where 80p shakes out as we jason and I really like tray Harris I think he is a good prospect just he was a like he was more set up

and then they and then keen and Allen became available for them and they and they picked him and Keaton Allen had 24% of the targets. Heal up this offensive line, get this new offense cooking, and Q's going to be at the top for me. That's how I'm going to handle it. And then between Ladd and Trey Harris of the value they bring you in the draft,

I think that will be where it's very interesting. Is Trey Harris just kind of left in the double-digit rounds? Because if that's going to happen, then he will be on a lot of my teams. Liquid titanium. Most wanted. Really ripped abs. Fresh guy. Fresh blue musk.

Dark ice. Blue surf. Oh. Fruity. Yeah. Okay. Iconic. And uppercut.

Oh, and the most popular? Reserve. Mm. Now that sounds... That's distinguished. Yeah, that sounds like a... That guy has all the Britannicas. Annie the Nanny.

How early should I be picking and researching players for the 2026? fantasy football season. Well, you can't, you probably shouldn't be picking them right now. No, no, no. But, well, I mean, if you're playing basketball, but maybe selecting. Researching, part of the advantage of the year round is, like, you get to track the, the sentiment on the public of how they're looking at players. And you get to, like, that's where you extract the value is you, you have a player that your process says, okay, I like, I like, I like, I think the talent, the opportunity is there. You're like, oh, and the public has shifted because there's a new hotness or there's a new shiny player that we're really interested in.

And now I'm going to get value. So that I, to me, you know, just at least not everyone's a degenerate like we are here where we're just, you know, getting all the news all the time. But keeping at least one eye on what's going on, I think is a smart move, just the whole time. Yeah, and the NFL does you a favor. It doesn't really give you a break, right? Like it doesn't, you know, the combine's coming soon. Then you're going to have the league year start in March. Free agency is a humongous opportunity to talk about

and pay attention to where you're kind of thinking about players and then you'll be into the draft. And, you know, this show is year-round. So you can come hang out with us. We'll do that DJN work for you. Yeah, yeah, we will. And we'll smell good doing it. Mike, we might as well take this one without Jason.

Jason here. Sam writes in from Instagram, what's your favorite card in your card collection? Mike and I have been, speaking of degeneracy. Yes, yes. We have been into the trading card world. My son got me into it about August of last year, and I really ran with the ball after that. Yeah, as of I, I have jumped in. It's the parallels of fantasy football and card collecting is very, very strong. my favorite card in my so my personal collection or PC if you're in the hobby as we

how how arrogant are we we're like it's the hobby oh it's like of all hobbies yeah yeah I don't know what do you do oh I'm in the hobby and it's like card people like yeah he collects cards the hobby 1.7 billion dollars in card sales on ebay last year.

Yeah, it's a $1.7 billion. It's a very, it's a very thriving business. And Mike was 1.2 of that. Yes. Mike owns eBay. My favorite card.

My personal collection is gridiron Marvel's cards and my favorite card. I mean, it's recency bias, but like I have a Dart PSA 10 Marvel that is pretty awesome. We both have a horizontal

Larry Fitzgerald downtown in honor of the goat, the Hall of Famer, first ballot. Yes. I do have a PSA6-86 rookie Michael Jordan. I collect a lot of Michael Jordan cards. I see now you're in nerd territory.

I know. I'm sorry. Talk about Dart. He was the number one sale of all of those $1.6 billion in sales. Question from Wax against the Machine. Keep trade cut. Marvin Harrison, Jr., D.K. Metcalfe. Well, Evans is my cut.

Cut and D.K. Metcalf is my trade. Marv is my hold. I don't want D.K. Metcalf in my life anymore. I don't want. The irony of all those three, I'd want Mike Evans in my life. His life is just, he's just on an expiring career. Yeah, he's towards the end. The, I was surprised by the way the news was being reported on Mike Evans of, like, we found, hey, Mike Evans is going to test the market.

But every report was Mike Evans going to return for another year. And it's like, was there any question that that wasn't going to happen? I think at this point, it's like when Larry was entering, every year they're asking Larry in the offseason. Are you coming back? Are you not? I was surprised that that was the sentiment of the reporters. Like, hey, big news. Mike Evans is going to come back. He looked like he still had. Maybe the free agency?

Yeah, so he's going to go get some cash. Okay, keep trade cut. Marv, Metcalf Evans. I mean, I assume we're talking a longer dynasty view, so I would take Marv. Yeah, I mean, I don't want to, but I'm going to. Instagram from YMV, I've been playing redraft for 15 years. Do you think switching to Keeper is worth it? Our Keeper League is my favorite league because it's not overblown.

The impact of your keepers can really matter. And it matters more in our league because of the, you can trade draft picks. So it's like when you sell your draft picks for the next year and you're like, man, I'm not even going to be able to compete. If you have strong keepers, even if you don't have draft picks, you can still compete. So in ours, we have a three keeper. It doesn't overpower things. So, yeah, I would pick it up.

You don't have to abandon your redraft. You know, three. I think most people can handle three leagues. If you're really, if you're into fantasy football, which you're asking a fantasy football podcast, a question. You like the game. You can handle a redraft and a keeper. Last question, Super Sharp 17.

What do you all do when you're not talking about fantasy football? I'm probably driving my son around to his football training. Yeah, you are. This is all I do now. You're always, like he needs a license stat. Yeah. But he's not old enough for a while. Yeah, that'll get you.

You could give him the car, but that's, no, that's, you do. You're always, like, at a different event or, even when I ask you, you know, I was like, oh, you want to go do something? Oh, no, I'm at this park on the moon, uh, in the middle of the cold. Bro, I have, he has his first tackle game on Saturday. It will be the farthest I've had to go for it. Oh, really? I'm, we're pretty much driving down to Cass Grant for a, congratulations, for a football game.

Yeah. That's amazing. What are we doing? You sport, I mean, that number is real, by the way, 0.07% of kids go pro. Kids make a professional sports league. Not to say don't pursue sports. Just saying, like, I don't know.

That's interesting with how crazy, kids sports have become super profitable, super hyper-concentrated, you know, this is not a joke. I don't know if you knew this, Mike, because he don't follow baseball. I believe an 11-year-old was just signed. That's not a joke.

Signed to... To a million, over a million-dollar contract. What? From the Dominican. The Phillies signed an 11-year-old. By a professional baseball team. I see Deucers Allie going, what? You're lying.

No, this is real. It seems illegal. It didn't... I'm sure when they got the $1.2 million check, they were like, this is so legal. Kyle says correct. It was a futures contract. But it's like...

What? But that highlights what I'm saying. Like it's a crazy amount of time that you have to invest. Hey, but you've got to chase your dreams. Sure. Yeah. And by chase, he means dad drive me around everywhere. Yeah, no, that's, yeah, no, the card collecting thing has been kind of a fun hobby.

I mean, we're all, every, all three of us are dads to three kids. So they take up a lot of the time in a good way and or in Mike's or in a bad way. Yeah. So, all right, we're going to wrap it up. Thanks for joining. us. Thursday, we got some game time, some Who Am I, some liar, liar in store for Thursday. We'll see how the studio evolves by then. And it'll be something you can watch. I tune in. I mean, you never know what's going to be here. It might change every show. Who knows?

Yeah, it'll be a process over the offseason. But shout out to the deucers and the team for their hard work and we'll keep refining it. And I'm sure the comments will tell us everything we need to know. So that'll do it for this episode of the fantasy footballers. Catch you on Thursday.
