to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in Thursday, February 26th. Welcome into the fantasy footballers podcast, Andy Holloway here. Mike Wright in the building. And a cardboard. Yeah. Jason will be back on the next episode is what I'm hearing. That's what the rumors are.

I feel like we would have been better off just leaning into the you know, we damaged him with the 20 ounces of W root beer for those that don't know. On the spitballers episode last week, we made Jason who cannot burp. He has a scientific condition. We thought maybe the method that we would approach fixing him. Retrograde chrysorphic.

Gius dysfunction. Yeah, you're still happy you decided to read that? Well, I mean, I crushed it, so. Yeah. No, he has, so he has that, we think. And I think, you know, it's like a, it's a true fact, but I think he takes a little bit of pride in it. Like, it's like a cool, unique, like, I can't burp.

It's weird. I mean, he's always said it. And it wasn't until the, we were recording, like, we're actually looking it up. And yeah, it turns out this is a thing and people get it. there's like a yeah you can get like a Botox injection somehow Botox fixes it which I think you should do based on our

scientific study that we then proceeded to we thought maybe we could force it yeah and our path was like hey a 12 ounce A and W root beer would be the path and then you know the falcon grabbed the 20 ounceer and then Jason downed it in like four seconds because I was challenging I was talking about

how I was like hey guys have you ever done the thing you know where you drink an entire can of soda and you don't allow yourself to burp until the end. And if you've never done it, it is extremely painful. By the time you're about halfway through that soul, you're like, oh man, and then you get to the end and it just, the air has to come out of your body. It has to. Well, unless you have a R-CPD. Yeah, it never came out for Jason. No, no. He proceeded to what I would call a pregnant state. Yes. And then he remained in that for 24 hours.

But that is not, you know. Yeah. That's where that was a different show. Yeah. So there you go. This is our last opportunity for this. The UDK pre-order you have until March 1st to pick it up,

Ultimate draft kit.com. That is your last chance at four different bonuses that we are including, which include a chance to win a listener league spot. and you get some discount codes, and it is the lowest possible price. So we want to say that right here right now. And Mike, what do they get access to immediately? Well, if you, the UDK officially launches on June 1st. However, should you want the UDK Plus, that will also come with a DFS pass.

So, you know, if you want to play Draft Kings, Fandul, any of that stuff, that will launch in the football season. But right now, we are in dynasty season. So the UDK Plus comes with the dynasty pass. The first drop of that is live. You know, we get our initial rankings. You can look at the production profiles. The team opportunity pages are gigantic and constantly updated of showing, like, what players are leaving a team?

What percentage of carries is a team losing? So, like, you know, is that a good landing spot for someone kind of preparing yourself for the draft? And the combine is going on right now. You know, the things that we really care about, that hasn't started just yet. and Saturday. But very, very soon. And then next week, that's when we will be formulating drop two of the Dynasty Pass, where we update those rankings. We get another mock draft in because we get more information. Players start separating themselves. The, who will be, who will be the Matthew Golden of this year? Because we've had it now. Yeah. We had worthy,

and then we had Golden, two guys where they're, they're really, really fast. And their production profile said they should not be drafted in the first, and yet they were. Well, we actually had a conversation about the 40 times again on the footcast yesterday, Jason and I, where we were just talking about like the greats, right? Like, how in the world? I know what makes for the best TV consumption of the combine is these very, like you can watch a 40, right? They don't have the pads on, which of course they play in pads.

We've said that a million times. I don't know why they don't run drills in pads. That would tell me something, right? There's a little strength aspect, right, to the sprint of carrying this extra weight. I mean, at least a helmet. At least a helmet. But the other part was just like the micro differential. Like there's another player this year that might break the record, right?

Oh, my gosh. I mean, the greats at the wide receiver position. Larry Fitzgerald, first ballot Hall of Famer, 44745. Antonio Brown, 44745 range. Yeah, there's Calvin Johnson, okay? That was a little bonus on top of everything else he brought to the table. But man, I still find it like strangely rudimentary how we need these like marketable numbers. And I'm not saying it's not impressive and awesome that you can run really fast in a straight line.

It's just so not indicative of everything you can do as a wide receiver. And I don't know how many John Ross's, Xavier Worthies, Matthew Golden's, Darius Hayward Bayes that we need to figure this out. Like cool. Like if you can run in a straight line and catch a long touchdown pass, that's cool. I don't know if that makes you a first round pick. What's difficult about it is we know historically that 40-yard dash time is not the most, when you're talking correlating to future success.

The 40 is very, very low. However, the 40 does correlate to draft capital, which draft capital does correlate to. So it's the thing, though, of like, don't double count it. Yes. Like the NFL is already going to count it. Don't let him run it. And he's a first round pick.

You're like, well, he's the first round pick and he's so fast. Yeah, no, it's a good point. But all that stuff, you know, that goes into our thinking in the dynasty pass and letting you, giving you kind of the information and benchmarks for production that are more desirable for a player, where the path becomes clearer for them to become a true impact player at, in fantasy football. or there's late round guys, you know, like that's how you find Pacheco's and things, is you look at the production profile. Like, hmm, okay, there's a path here for that player to move up.

And should that happen, look at their production profile, look at all these other things. And so, it's just, Dynasty Prospect season is so, so much fun. Yeah, and we're, and I know Jason's in the middle of trying to build a prospect model out right now. Mm-hmm. You've been building one for years. There's so many different ways to evaluate prospects. and, you know, we do the film work this time of year. We get those updates in the Dynasty Pass.

All of that. If you're going to grab it, grab it before March 1st, Ultimate draft kit.com. All right. It is a game time day. It's a game time day. We're playing games today. Yeah, I mean, we call it the field day. Yeah.

For the fantasy footballers, because this particular spot in February. Like... The 26th. Yeah, I mean, there's some news for. us to talk about, but, you know, there's not a ton going on as we're waiting for the combine. Once the combine is over, things start moving really, really fast. But right now we're just going to play some games. Have a good time. We are going to play some Who Am I, Mike. That is our

quick question of the day. I'm going to read one clue at a time. And you can play along at home. First clue, Mike, we're going to try to figure out who this player is. Okay. Clue number one, my fantasy football breakout. Okay. Was not until my third year in the league. Okay. A year three breakout. I don't think I have a guess yet.

Year three, year three, okay. Year three breakout. Okay. All right. Clue number two. I have not played a full NFL season yet. Okay. I appreciate the yet.

That's optimistic, right? Like, I'm going to get there. So no full seasons yet. I don't have a guess. I don't either. Clue number three, I have never caught more than 80 passes in a season. See, I now do have it. I think I have a guess.

I had a guess, but Pierce has played four years. You know what? And I think my guess is wrong too because I was going to go Quentin Johnson, but last year was second year, right? No. Oh. No, last year was year three. Was it?

No, I think I'm wrong. Was it year three? I feel like Kyle can try. We're allowed to look at that, right? Yeah, you can look at that. Okay. Yeah, because Quentin Johnston was the one I went to right away, and I don't think that's right. I think last year was his sophomore. No, that was year three. Oh, that's my guess. Yeah. I'm supposed to write that down quietly. Quinton Johnson. Okay. Based off of the clues, it's pretty a good guess. Okay. Clue four, Mike. My nickname is kind of gross. Huge. That's not the clue. I've finished. as a top 10 fantasy wide receiver two of the past three years uh oh oh i didn't actually didn't look at that

part of of Quinn but he's not a top 10 no he's not that's not him what i'm glad i wrote that down quietly so wait i didn't okay so he didn't break out until year three but he's been a regular fantasy dominator for multiple seasons oh so that's where i i was thinking it's just a year three yeah no no yeah that was a little they could have played four years or five or six all right in the breakout just happened in year three. Finishes the top 10 fantasy wide receiver two of the past three years. Okay. You don't want to guess?

Do you have a thought? Well, I will say I am physically I'm here. Right. Okay. You're not cognizant. Your brain is not there. I am running purely on Theraflu and caffeine at this point. Okay.

So guessing is not at the top of the list. Survival. and making it through the show. So I need to jump on your back. Please carry me. Clue number five. Well, my guess was way off. So clue number five, my quarterback has regressed

since his exciting rookie 2023 season. Not played a full season. Oh, this, I know the answer to this. Okay. Quietly write it down. I think the answers. When do you guess out loud? Right, right now.

Okay, Nico Collins. That's my, that's my guess. Oh, yeah, that's a. That's my guess. That's a good guess. Because I remember, man, we were waiting for that breakout. It finally happened. Exciting rookie year, C.J. Stroud.

That's a great guess. My name is, here's the answer key. It's Nico Collins. No. It's Nico Collins. We did it. You and I, our powers combined. Nico Collins.

That's kind of you to give Andy some credit for that. Thank you. I was steering him. Theriflu and caffeine. Okay. Third straight thousand-yard season, one of six wide receivers to accomplish that, Nico Collins, along with AJ Brown, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, Cidieland, I'm on-Ross, St. Brown. Still, in my opinion, purely on skill, talent, ability, I still think he's underrated. I still think Nico Collins is underrated and underdrafted more often than not.

And look, you just saw some of the reasons why. One, you took you three years to break out. two. Your quarterback looks like dog water right now. And it's, and then the other one, you know, the volume hasn't been there. And then he's missed games, right? I've never played a full season. He always misses some time. But, you know,

if you put one full season of Nico Collins out there on the field for 17 weeks, there's a chance he's the top three wide receiver. 100%. It's just can Stroud get it together. Yeah. And that is a really

big question at this point. Yeah, there were trade rumors and the GM came out and said it's moronic to trade him. I mean, yeah, I think that's not great. I mean, he kind of reminds me a little bit of Kyler. Because, yeah. Just on the kind of career

I mean, it's not the same, but a career trajectory where like, look, super promising, MVP candidate, a lot of expectations, and then just slowly playing worse at the position. Ever since he told, called Caleb Williams to hang in there in the middle of the field. So looking at the box score here, so Stroud

missed weeks 10 through 12. So that's when the giraffe came in. Davis Mills? Yes. So you still can recall who looks like a giraffe. Well, yeah. Your brain is working on that capacity. I mean, come on.

Mike Glennon. Two of his, so in terms of highest scoring finishes on the year for CJ Strzrow. Number two and number three came with Davis Mills and not Stroud. Not that he didn't have some good games with Stroud, but like that is... Well, it's not... I'll say this too. It's not a great recipe for fantasy success when...

Look, Stroud, to win, they don't need him to be amazing. They just need him to be pretty good. Yeah, because the defense is so great. So, like, from a fantasy perspective, that's not going. Great. We've seen this be a challenge for Philadelphia when their defense is really good. Not counting on the wide receiver. So NICO might have the skills to be top three, but maybe not the situation. Talk some news. News and notes from around the league.

Are you kidding me? Jordan Schultz reports that there is strong belief that former Saints quarterback. What? Send in the car. Send in the car. What? Derek Carr is very serious about unretiring and returning to the. NFL.

Hmm. You can only play in the front yard with your kids so many times before you want to come back to the NFL. Hmm. Derek Carr. I, I, okay. I mean, he would be much better than a lot of quarterbacks.

Yes, he would be. And yet, not really help anybody. Yeah, we'll see. We also have, right after I said definitively, I think they won't trade him, Dan Graziano comes out and says teams are monitoring the trade market for Brian Thomas Jr. Yeah, it's just tis this season. I mean, he's still, he's still a candidate. He's still a candidate in the sense that like his expectations for his role in the offense probably don't meet what the teams are.

Yes, it makes, there is a world where it makes sense for Brian Thomas to be traded. And yet it would, I mean, a year three, first round wide receiver. So you have him, you, you would have. control of his contract for, no, for three. Three more years, yeah. For three, because you get with the fifth of your option. And it just, the price you're paying for what the level of talent for Brian Thomas, you would have, I feel like the trade would have to cost so much.

You're probably right. Or one of those things, or it comes through and you're like, what? They traded Brian Thomas for a third round pick. And then you start to say, oh, it must have been bad. Yeah, yeah. This, this report, everything about this report, me laugh. Oh, good, because I loved it.

Are you in the same care? Yeah. I mean, this is just silly. Fox Sports reporting Cardinals, Kyler Murray prefers to be released ahead of free agency. Oh, does he? Yeah, cool. Oh, he does?

Oh, he does? He would prefer to be able to pick the team he wants to go to for the contract that he wants to go get? It's great. It's great. Apparently, why would he want that? Kyler and general manager Monty Austin Ford have not even spoken since the season ended. It's over, man.

Look, I was on record on Tuesday. Most logical is that Kyler is still on the team, but we are, the saga is not close to done. No, no. And then we also got a report from Aaron Wilson, great reported out of Houston. Texans are expected to part ways with Joe Mixon. They think.

This quote. Yeah, this, you want to read it? Yeah, speaking about Joe Mixon, they think he had surgery. They think. maybe he did. How do you not know? Joe Mixed, what are you doing?

My guy. Well, he tried to recover with some techniques that I don't think were team approved last year. It didn't work out. Never got back. And now probably won't be a part of the team moving forward. So, like, I think Woody Marks is one of those interesting names because everything about what he marks, the numbers behind his production, the fact that he's a later round pick, the fact Joe Mixing is gone, like, he probably is not going to work. I think he gets replaced.

If they don't draft somebody, all of a sudden you'll be like staring. Who is the... What, Damien Pierce? No, that's a good one. But I was thinking Raiders... Oh, oh. Running back up, we were like, oh, you're... Zemir White didn't get replaced in the draft.

And then we're like, cool, let's go. And people drafted him. And it didn't work. No. So, yeah, I mean, I just think Woody Marks could have... Let me put it this way. There could be a small period of time in which he is a dynasty tradable asset. I would be trying to trade him.

Because when mixing gets cut pre-draft, that's your moment. Go frame Woody marks up as the starter for a team. It's pretty good. Playoff team and then cash in. All right, we'll take a break and we're going to play some liar-lier, and I'm quite afraid of whatever they've prepared for us. All right, we lose control of this show. That's what normally happens this time of year.

And we're going to play some liar-lier, which apparently I have a drop for. Oh boy. Lyer, liar, Pants on fire. And we do this on spitballers. It's two truths and a lie. This is normally Kyle the Borgogan

puts together some madness, takes great pride in it. We try to determine which of these things are true, which one is a lie. And according to his records, I guess this is the seventh time we've ever played this on the show. He claims that one time you were fortunate enough to win, Mike, and the rest, we have lost.

I do remember winning. I don't remember that we've played it this many times, though. Yeah. Every time you're like, hey, we're going to do liar, liar. I'm like, we do that on the... I know. That's the spitballers. Yeah.

Well, round one, we play three rounds, and if we can make it through three rounds determining what the one truth is, then we're champions of the world. And I'm going to be jumping in for Jason. That's right. Oh, yes. I do not know the air. answers to this either. Al Borland is going to contribute because we can't give Kyle a, you know, a 2V1 situation. That's right. Round one is titled Our Powers Combined, which is already

frightening. All right. Here's your three potential truths. Number one, in 2025, tied end Tucker Kraft played only eight games. True. Yeah, nailed it. Yet he had more receiving touchdowns versus man coverage, then C.D. Lamb, Nico Collins, Michael Wilson, Jamar Chase on the season combined. So this is Kyle 101. We're drilling it down to man coverage. Tucker Kraft, more touchdowns against man than Lamb, Collins, Michael Wilson, and Jamar Chase combined. Truth number two. I don't know, nerd. Yeah, that's what I want to say. Goodness gracious. That's what I want to say. Number two. Go outside, nerd. Mighty, Mike Wondale Robinson

had as many 20 plus yard air, uh, 20 plus air receptions. Okay. In 2025 is Jameson Williams D.K. Metcalf and Roma Dunes A combined. Okay. That one. So three guys that are downfield threats, Williams, Metcalf,

Adunzei, Wondale. Okay. Yeah, I think that one's possible. I think that one's very possible. How many did Metcalf have? Exactly. That's exactly why I think this one. Do he have one? 20 air yards? Not Air Yards probably. Yeah, he's had long receptions that were a result of him running.

Yeah. Number three, Jackson Dart and just 12 career starts has more passing touchdowns against zone coverage. Well, this is nerds back. Then Kyla Murray has over the last three years combined. We don't know this, Kyle. We do not dig into the nerddom. I mean, okay. I think the Wanda one's true, Mike.

I think that one's true. Okay. I think that one's our layup. The question is which of the other ones are true? Tucker Kraft had a bunch of... Well, only one could be true. Yeah, yeah. Or no, one's a lie.

There's two true. That's what I say. Oh, right, all right. I don't know what I'm doing. I know you are on drugs. Wondale Robinson, I'm going to count that one myself. You don't have to do that. I think that one's true.

I have no idea about this man versus zone decision. Al, do you want to weigh in with your two? Your Green Bay Packer's super... My only insight is that I feel like maybe, I'll put that Tucker Craft one in there just to get me to vote with my heart. Oh, yeah, because that could be a trap. Because he'd wanted you to do this. I don't know the answer.

But I am going to be taking Tucker Craft as the lie for that reason only. I mean, the Kyler Murray one is a bit of a trick because it's like the last three years combined. Well, Kyler played what? A handful of games this year and then missed the entire season two years ago. So he played like 16 weeks versus. or, you know, whatever, 20 weeks versus Jackson Darts 12? I think that one's true.

I'm going to take Tucker Craft as a lie as well. Oh, man. Oh. Kyle has let us know we're going to know none of these. What are we doing, Kyle? We're playing a game. Okay, so you guys are both in on the Tucker Craft. Or not in.

We think that one's a lie. Yeah, yeah. I'm saying, like, you're locking that in. We're so not in on that. That's fair. So it's just do we put all the eggs in one basket of the Tucker craft. It's just, what's your conviction?

Mike, you're the only one to win this game against Kyle. Yeah, but as the note said, I was fortunate to win. I'm going to go, I'll take the dart one. All right, Kyle. You eliminate us immediately if Wondale is the lie. Yeah, you guys have a lot to learn. It is Wondale. That's the lie.

But how close was it? He had more than Jameson Williams, which is very different than how he used to be used. Yes. The other one's far out past him. Oh, okay. Okay. Well, that's a round one loss. Now we play for Bride.

Round two. Geography for dummies. Perfect. Number one. Oh, yeah. Beautiful. Beautiful. Garrett Wilson has never caught a touchdown in a city located west of Dallas, Texas.

Through his professional and college career, 91 games worth. So he can't catch a touchdown west of Dallas. What are these spreadsheets? What is happening? I'm just picturing the Jordan get help that we sent him. Oh, man. Number two, through five years in the NFL and 889 career carries Chubahubah has never had a single run of 15 yards or more in the mountain or West Coast time zones.

All right. The worst part about this is two of these have to be true, which means he knows whether they're true or not, which is the worst. Number three, good night. Counting his 13 games as a rookie, the preseason, college and high school. High school. Tightened Mason Taylor has not forced a mistackle in 47 of the 50 United States. I'm going with that one. As the lie.

Oh, no, that was definitely true. Mike is so. I don't know how to play this game. You should because we've played it before. What? How much Theraflu, Mike? Was it a whatever the maximum. Was it a big glass?

The maximum maximum dose. This is good. You should go home after this. I plan on it. So Mason Taylor, that one is definitely true due to no dog. No dog. And you shouldn't know his high school stuff, Kyle. I got to believe Garrett Wilson's caught a touchdown west of Dallas.

I'm going to call the Mountain West Chuba Hubbard one a lie, although I don't know, man. Go ahead. Al, what do you think? I'm going to go with Garrett Wilson as the lie because I do have it on good authority. that Mason Taylor, if freshman year of high school broke a tackle or forced to mistackle. You've got that in your archives? Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's true.

He might make the Mason Taylor want to lie if you want to go that direction because he will want to prove that Mason Taylor can't break tackles in 49 of 50 states. It would be great if that one worked. Yeah, I was backwards on that. Oh, so is that what you mean? I got to lock that in as the lie. Okay. So you're doing what I'm thinking.

Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. So I've got the Chuba Hubbard as a lie. You've got the Mason Taylor as a lie. It would be insane for a human being to make it into the NFL. He was a second round pick. Am I remember that correct?

Mason Taylor? That's correct. Okay. For a guy who got drafted in the second round, going back into high school to not be breaking tackles. Are you going on Mason Taylor? That would be weird. Yeah.

Okay. Reveal your stupidity, Kyle. Mason Taylor is true. he's only broken tackles in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana. Oh my gosh. Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana are the only states he's broken a tackle in. Kyle? That's correct.

Unbelievable. Amazing. All right. So which is the lie? The lie is Chuba. He broke a tackle in Arizona as a rookie. Yes. You mean?

For 15 yards. Yes. Okay. Wait, is that the one that I? No, that's not the one I picked. I picked Gary Wilson, didn't I? So I got to, you picked, you picked Chuba. I got it.

right? Dude, nobody knows what's going on? I think so. Kyle, what did I pick? Only the audience is going to know? Yeah, Chuba. Okay. Okay, so you're winning. Apparently. I don't feel like a winner. Everyone is losing. I'm winning, but do not feel like a winner. Round three, the year of Mike is the title of this. Oh, it was a good year. Okay. Here's your three potential truths. Number one. Sometimes footballers are running late in the morning in which they publicly share in the company slack that were quote coming in hot. Yeah.

That is the phrase we share. Since the beginning of the fantasy footballers podcast, Mike has coming in hot more than Andy but fewer than Jason. That's one that we're going to try to figure out if it's true. So according to that, Jason would be the most. More than Andy. Jason would be the latest man. That would have been the way a normal person worded it. Yes.

Okay. Like it could have been like Jason has the most. That could have been like the truth. But he's trying to frame it in a year of Mike. Very tricky. Number two. During weeks 1 through 18 of the NFL season, the word, quote, the word pants was mentioned more times on the podcast

than the number of targets George Pickens had, which was 137. So did we say the word pants more than 137 times? Very possible. How do you know? I think he's scraping transcripts or something. Number three, Mike. I need to know if the drop counts as a mention.

Never going back to the hand store. It does. It does. It does. Yeah, it's got the word pants in it. That's fair. Number three, Mike gloriously rode CMC and Bejohn to a league of record championship this year. Yes, yes.

Coincidentally, their combined yards from scrimmage in their careers. Good night. Counting regular season and playoffs is the exact. driving distance from Mike's house to the footballer studio. Please. That has to be true. It has to have aligned. So that would be their combined yards from scrimmage in their career.

Counting regular season in playoffs, I feel like that one's true. He had to jackknit that thing together. Hard. I think that Mike is the most coming in hot. No, I think Jason is. Dang it. It's not me. I don't say coming in hot very much.

I think I might be coming in hot, but I don't say it as much as Jason does. So I feel like that's true. I'm going to say that the pants one is wrong. I don't think we said it. I'm on that one too. I don't think we said it 137. 137 is that's a lot of pants.

See, that's what I was going to lock in too. Okay, no, you should. No, for the sake of, I can't. I mean. What are you trying to tie? You got to play the game theory. Yeah. So for that reason,

I'm going to say that Mike is the latest man of you three. Okay. And he's the one. Oh, he posted the chart. The coming in hot chart. That is the lie. Andy's actually coming hot more than Mike.

But Jason is also the most of the last. Oh, so I got it right for the wrong reason. But I got it right. Interesting. So it looks like Mike and I were tied in coming in hot in 2024. But I had a couple. but then I had a couple more in 2025 and Jason is blowing us away

I mean if you For the people that can't see this Kyle has a line graph Put this up on the screen Can you get this on the screen For those watching? Not very easily though Yes you can

Okay I believe in you I'm on it I'm gonna send you the I'll send you the image All right And then you post this on the screen Jason is coming in hot at a ratio of 2 to 1 to 3 to 1 minimum

And I, that's why I said, I think his phrase, man. Wait, just so we, which one is the, uh, oh, there it is. Yeah, there's the, there's the chart. So are you telling me we never even used the language coming in hot before about 2021? That is correct. So we just started saying, that became an excuse. And Mike, or no, I, I debuted that. You were the first in 2022.

And then you got, and then Jason's like, I love that phrase. I didn't know I could come in hot. Amazing. Amazing. Excellent work, Kyle. That didn't answer our question, though, right? Yeah, it did. That's the lie.

Yeah, because it's fewer. Oh, you're right. But it's more, not more than Andy. So the pants one is true? 144 pants. 144 mentions of pants on the show. 145, baby. Incredible.

And then, of course. Of course, the CMCB genre is true. I mean, that makes so much sense. Of course it's true. It had to, I mean, Jupiter had to align with Mars. Your season was just... It was a good time, man. Yeah, I just...

You should try it. Do you feel like... Do you feel like you're going to have to pay for it? Do you know what I mean? Like, everything lined up so much. Right, right, right, right. Will the creditors... Yeah, a pendulum swing of like you stub your toe ten days in a row.

or something happens. Here's the thing. Yes. Absolutely. Also, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. You don't even care. No, I don't.

Take my life. Just give me that season. All right, we'll take another break. We'll be back with some questions. All right, we are going to jump into the mailbag. I feel like I'm supposed to thank Kyle for that segment. Kyle, how long did that take? Yeah.

Yeah. did we pay for? How many hours did we pay for? You guys are out all, you know, last week. Okay. Right, but you were not. Which doesn't answer the question. Some of those do not take as long as you think. The Bejon CMC maybe took like 20 minutes. Okay. I mean, you were doing some, don't you have some analytics too on the attendance record over? He's got everything, man. You want you want mighty ducks analytics? He's got him. He does have all the mighty ducks analytics. But you know, like how many times we've done three-man shows versus two-man shows, how many times the bear's been

on screen in 11 years? Aren't we going into year 12? Jason's stats are slipping recently, boys. Oh, are they? What trends can you share with us on the air? Because he's not here, so we don't care what you say about him. He's still coming in hot today. You have any hot stats you want to share?

You can break in any time in Mailbag if you have a hot stat on Jason's numbers. Jason's missed the fewest amount of shows out of anybody. All time? All time. That's not what I asked from you. I want stats to make me look good. You said he's been slipping.

That's the stuff we wanted to hear. I'll get you one later. Okay. All right. Into the mailbag we go. Mailbag. Mailbag. If you have a question, you can go to the website,

the fantasy footballers.com. It's also where you can find the UDK. And click that submit a question button. Send us your question or dial the voicemail the voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB. Let's kick it off with a voicemail question. Somebody sent in this week. Hi, Matt.

I'm Los Angeles here. And I was wondering, if you guys were due to the NFL Combine, which event would you be respectfully best at? Love the chef. Well, I mean, there will not be a respectably part. So what would we perform best in relative to the NFL players or against each other. Just, you know, it's yourself.

I mean, we did a combine challenge a really long time ago. Don't look it up. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't think we did especially well at any of it. No, we're now 10 years older. We did not. I mean, we're not fast. No. We're not strong compared to NFL players. Correct. We're not quick.

No. Maybe the gauntlet, I could catch the ball in the gauntlet. Right. As long as you don't get in the face, you're okay. Right, right. There's a chance of that. I'd like to see Al Borland do that one.

Remember when I threw him that pass out here in the street? Then he fell. And then he fell down. Yeah, that part where he fell down. Yeah, that one's a truth. You remember that, Al? I do. But in our flag football days.

He's been wearing bottom. He's been wearing bottom ever since. No, flag football 100% catch. 100% catch rate. How many total catches do you think I threw to you? Or how many passes did I ever throw to you? Three. Three?

Yeah. You think he doesn't know? I caught them all. Man. How hard was it? Don't worry about the one where I ran the wrong way after Kets. Did you? Yes.

How? Did you get spun around? Our first season. Oh, incredible. Oh, the first season. Yeah, my bearings were all off. This week without Jason has just focused on Bodman over there. Yes.

I mean, it was like a checkdown. It wasn't like a designed play for me. And you just tossed it to me and I just ran the wrong way. I have no memory of this But that is fantastic Yeah I guess I'll go Gauntlet I feel like I can catch it

So we'll see I don't know Mike I don't do the vertical No vert Verde is never broad jump I've always been okay Wonderlic

Oh please I mean I don't know what's not on the medicine You're on now No no no no He's the one on the Wonderlic right now Well I'll probably still beat Stroud Right He was the one who

Had the massive failure Yeah, he was the one that had the failure and then dominated as a rookie. Yeah. And we were like, oh, great. Yeah. Maybe it matters. I don't know. Jason, you can give him some bench press, I guess.

See what he holds. Can he bench 225 though? Probably not. No, none of us can bench 225. No, I don't think so. Rep, Rep 225? Maybe, I don't think we can get one. We will die.

I don't think we could get one. Maybe. You want to try that one out on our list of challenges? That's, I feel like you. Did you see the kids? If you're wrong and you can't, Ben, you can't get up one rep, you're going to hurt yourself. Did you see the kid, the 14-year-old kid who just dropped 450 on his chest? What?

This is going around right now. He actually had to come out and talk about it. He's alive? He's alive. The freeze frame of the bar and how far depressed his chest is when it lands. He had three useless spotters. Why are we letting 14? year olds bench that much.

We shouldn't be. But yeah, you had a spotter, you know, the normal, like the set spotter behind, and one on each side and all three of them were you did nothing. What? He instantaneously dropped the bar. Thank goodness he's alive. Didn't break anything somehow. I guess at 14, you're gumby.

Your bones are gumby. But no, that was interesting. That was insane. Jeremy does want to let people know he couldn't. He's confident he can get at least one. I'd like to know. I'd like to know. Thank you for letting them know.

We should try that. Is that because of the really ripped abs? That's right. Couple squares right before the lift. It's my free work out. Is he like your spinach? Yeah. It's like you power up like Popeye.

It's only, he only sprays them right there. Sprays it right onto the abs. Just get so ripped. Teddy writes in, any year three breakout predictions. Ooh, like someone who's going to jump into the top three? Yeah. any year three breakout predictions uh that's the Marvin harrison junior neighbors class so next year will be year three for neighbors in Marvin um man I mean neighbors is a little too

neighbors needs to be healthy I mean I feel like he's already broken out too he has but he needs to be if he's healthy he's just he's going to dominate we got the big year from the ETJ and Ladd already. Kenneum Coleman, not predicting that one. No. I do not have a prediction for that. Oh, no, I do. Trey Benson.

Yeah, I don't know what Arizona is doing. I don't either. That's the end of the sentence. I don't think they know what they're doing. President and owner Michael Bidwell has no idea what he's doing. Yeah, not just owner. Presidents and owner. Oh, Kyle's reminding of Ben Senate, maybe.

but I think that I think James Connor will be gone I think they'll just decide to clear house not that he can't play Connor Connor's a goner Connor oh nice Connor could go somewhere and still be very productive but I think that they will probably move on they you know there was chatter of

the Cardinals being linked to Breece Hall which obviously that can't happen The jets shut that down so quick it could theoretically happen if they transition and tag him because then Breece Hall can go get offers and the Jets just have the right to match it. I don't know. I still believe in

Trey Benson as a player who just really hasn't had his opportunity yet. We'll get to see Jonathan Brooks back out on the field hopefully next year. Blake Corum is a player that can come into the conversation as one that's... Brelin Allen if Breast leaves. Sure. I'm not sure that he's... Do we get Pierceall for more than a game of consistent? That would be another name with them not having wide receivers.

There you go. All right. Warren writes in from X is Caleb Williams the top tier quarterback next year. He had the high-end finishes this year, five games of 24 plus points. He had the big playoff performances that I think impressed a lot of people.

He has a slew of weapons that we love. Luther Burden. Yes. Mr. Love, Mr. Lovel, land. That would be, you know, Enrona does he see a top tier What does that qualify us?

Top six? Yeah, I mean, just a guy you're playing A Difference Maker every single week. I don't believe that right now. I don't think so either. We got to fix that completion percentage. We have, what, 58%? Was it really that bad?

I always forget how bad it was. 58% completion percentage. That is... That's not good enough. That's not good enough. Now, that'll... That number will come to bear over time. So I would say as of right now, no, but he's mobile.

I mean, he's, he is unbelievably athletic. Yeah, he does some. He's so fast. He does some crazy stuff. He kind of reminds me sometimes of Steve McNair, escape is, you know, being able to escape in the pocket. Mr. Ugly Parr writes in on Instagram. Okay. Who in the office throws the,

football the best? That's Andy. Andy was the quarterback on the flag football team. Yeah, that flag football team. And he was the quarterback because he could throw the ball the best. Yeah, that was how A plus B there. And I could throw it the very best with my 100% completion rate. Yeah. How much offense did you ever play? Al? I played O line quite a bit. Did you? Okay. I couldn't

remember. And those were good old days. Good old days. Lots of surgeries. Lots of surgeries from those days. Most of them by Papa Josh. Papa Josh, two ACL tears? Yep, and a toe surgery. And you repaired how many of the ACL? Just one.

Okay. All right. You gave up after the first surgery, right? No, I had the first surgery, came back, and then blew it out again. Yeah. Yeah, that's what giving up after the first surgery means. Yeah, I left it all on the field. My ACL's still there.

You did, and we won our one championship. All right, Mario in Mexico, Buenos Dias, Foot Clan leaders. I'd like to submit a formal request for Jason to host a show. Oh. I'm sure it would be a lot of fun. For who? To find fun and define. It would be fun.

It would be something. He would be just fine. Yeah. All right. YouTube question. What do you value more? Your internal scouting or how the NFL values? a player, aka their draft capital, especially when they are very, very different.

When they're very different, I do tend to let the draft capital change. I mean, it's not changing my opinion, but it's changing what I believe their outcome are, or what the outcome could be. The NFL gets a lot of things right. I mean, it, obviously not every time, because we just had Camp Scataboo which was the declaration for me

was until the NFL tells me that that Cam Scadaboo is not the guy I believe he is then he went in the fourth round that draft capital says he can't be it

but he was immediately so I mean it is the year of Mike I think some of your stuff in that department worked out pretty well I mean Travion as well went much later than people expected they thought maybe Chicago would take them

really early in the draft he you know I don't I don't know what we call Trayvion right now. I don't think we call him like this. It was, I don't know if he came through for his draft, his ADP in fantasy football. What is he moving forward? Like if you just have to throw out a number for Trayvon next year,

it's February, you've got to throw out a redraft number for Trayvon. I don't have a great conviction about this. It was a special year for New England. Their schedule was very easy. They have a shared backfield. I think he improves in year two. What was his fantasy finish this here? Kyle, do you know that off the top of your head?

I'm guessing 20. Trayvion Henderson finished as the running back 19. Okay. But I feel like 16 is maybe where I'd throw them right now. Yeah, right around a top 15 guy. Yeah. Yeah. So one last reminder here.

Ultimate draft kit.com. This is our last chance before March 1st, which I believe is Sunday. I think it's Sunday. Is that right? That is correct. Last chance, Ultimate DraftKit.com, if you want a chance to play in the listener league and get a spot there.

We are going to say goodbye. That is the end of this show. We're going to let Mike get better. Back to bed. We'll be back to full strength, hopefully, next week. And we appreciate all of you listening here in February. Goodbye. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast.
