0:14

Rich Dotson. And
0:19
welcome to Dynasty Nerds fantasy football podcast. We
0:21
got where we were from here. You're so
0:23
hungry. You didn't know the name of our
0:25
show. I was just thinking about pressing that
0:28
button. I'm Rich Dotson. He's
0:30
Matt O'Hara. Hey, yeah. He's
0:32
Garrett Price. Definitely forgot how to intro
0:34
us. Dude, my brain just fell. I
0:36
had like four cups of coffee, extra
0:38
honey. I have no food
0:40
in 24 hours. I had to stop the
0:42
show to go get a piece of the wheel cheese,
0:44
a little mozzarella. There's a lot of
0:47
calories in honey. So it's not like you've been not
0:49
getting calories. You're
0:52
fine. Okay, doctor. You're
0:54
fine. I'm too mad. I'm
0:56
hungry. I'm going to have to watch a
0:58
baseball game. Aren't you
1:00
going to eat during that process? I hope so.
1:02
Yeah. That your kid had a
1:05
some award banquet thing. Son of a
1:07
shit show. Damn it. I do
1:09
have an award show in like an hour and a half. Oh
1:13
man. Better take some cheese to go. I'm
1:16
going to make sure that I added this. It goes.
1:18
It goes from six 30 to seven 30. Um,
1:21
and a tribe game starts at seven 30. I told
1:23
my son, I was like, cause a sports award show
1:25
for fall sports and football and stuff. I
1:28
don't care what happens. Who does what the
1:31
moment that the coach says, thank you.
1:34
You get up and we're walking out of that building
1:36
sprint. Oh
1:39
dude, I would completely forgot how to go. At
1:42
least you get to listen. I just saved you. I just
1:44
saved you. It's a, it's a
1:46
five man drive. Okay. You're fine.
1:49
It's right down the road. So yeah, let's get through this show so daddy can go
1:51
eat. I'm gonna say that cause
1:53
my wife yelled at me. I was like, daddy gets
1:56
a big piece of salmon. She's like, if you call
1:58
yourself daddy one more time. the
8:00
youngest and I do think you'll get the most from
8:02
Murray. So unfortunately that does leave Baker Mayfield kind of
8:04
as the odd man out here. There has to be
8:06
an odd man out. There's going to be some odd
8:08
man out coming down here that I do not want
8:11
to get rid of. They're all good players. It's really
8:13
tough. So you got to cut, like we're always in
8:15
the same thing. It's like, Hey, keep trade, cut this
8:18
model, this model, and this model. I'll be like, but I
8:20
love them all. They're
8:22
also pretty. It's like keep trade, cut
8:24
ice cream. Like I just, I'll
8:26
eat all three. You're lucky to put like jalapeno
8:28
pierogies in there. Cause otherwise it'd be the last
8:30
one standard. Progies
8:32
are good. Jalapeno. Progies are really, I've
8:34
never put jalapeno. I don't think I've ever had
8:37
a jalapeno. Like a spicy, uh,
8:39
potato. Like you, I mean, I know what a proggy
8:41
is. Progies with cheese. I love them. Sour cream, sour
8:43
cream. So it's mixed with like a hot, so it's
8:45
a little spicy. Oh, it's the best. I mean, I'm
8:47
signing me up. It sounds good. I love a little
8:49
kick. Yeah. I just never had it. I love a
8:52
little kick. All right. So let's go to the wide
8:54
receiver position. We've got three young
8:56
receivers here. Keep
8:58
sell cut Garrett Wilson,
9:01
Drake London and
9:03
Rashid Rice. Please someone
9:06
else go first. Cause I still, I
9:08
made the sheet and this was
9:10
the one of all of them that I was like, I
9:12
truly have no idea. Yeah. That's like getting
9:15
rid of cheap, keep trade cut chicken wings,
9:17
burgers, and pizza. It's like, dang,
9:19
I got to live. Right. 23, 24.
9:25
How old were she, right? He's got 23. I think
9:27
it's only gotta be pretty close to that.
9:29
This one's pretty easy for me. Is it?
9:31
Oh, I'm struggling. I am going to keep,
9:33
I'm going to keep Drake London who's
9:36
currently YR five still super young, 23
9:38
years old. He is the 23 stepping
9:40
into his, finally stepping in here
9:42
as the number one with Kirk cousins. They have
9:44
Michael Pennocks to back him up who did really
9:46
well. The guy in that frame of Roman doomsday.
9:48
So there's a very clear path to his success.
9:50
Long-term he'll get extended. He's finally produced in a
9:52
very high level drafted head of Garrett
9:54
Wilson. I'm going to trade Garrett Wilson again, kind of
9:57
falls back into my biggest return here is going to
9:59
be Garrett. So when players are like
10:01
this close for me, it's easy. The
10:03
trades should be the easiest one for me. Is
10:05
he going to get the biggest return though? Now
10:08
with the Devontae Adams news, this does make it.
10:10
I think Drake London is the guy you trade
10:12
here. Okay, well, let you get to
10:14
your take and you can trade away Drake London if you want.
10:16
This daddy over here is keeping him, okay? He's
10:19
the burgers of this joint. Okay. And Garrett Wilson,
10:21
for us, is the chicken wing. Very popular, probably get
10:23
the most return for the chicken wing. And
10:26
the burger, like his gun, very equally, is
10:28
Rishi rice. Rishi
10:30
rice, he's got some legal troubles. Might
10:32
be suspended beginning of the year, coming off a
10:34
knee injury. Is it LCL? Is that what it
10:36
ended up being? Yeah, just LCL, that's it. So
10:39
to me, yeah. I
10:42
mean, if you say sell Drake
10:44
London, keep Garrett Wilson, okay, I have no argument against
10:47
that too, but I just, my argument is for selling
10:49
Garrett Wilson because I get the biggest return on Garrett
10:51
Wilson. If that's not true, and somebody's
10:53
like, hey, I'll give you a bigger return for Drake London to be
10:55
the Drake London. As of right now, in stone, keep
10:58
Drake London, sell Garrett Wilson, cut
11:00
Rishi rice for me. I think Drake London right now
11:03
is a hot ticket item. You know what I mean?
11:05
He's wide receiver five. He's
11:07
the youngest out of all of them. He's the only guy
11:09
on this list that's got a chance to be the number
11:11
one wide receiver in the offense down
11:14
the stretch this year, right? I mean, that's,
11:17
you know, obviously- Rice is injured and Wilson
11:19
now has Adams. Correct. So
11:21
I mean, for this year, I think Drake London
11:23
is the guy that you trade just for that
11:25
reasoning. And- Yeah,
11:27
but wouldn't you want that for long term? I know, that's the
11:30
hard part too, where I'm like, oh, but he has PENIX. And
11:32
yeah, like he's your best bet to have the, like the
11:35
most score, the most fantasy points to this group too. But
11:38
will it be the same with PENIX?
11:40
We've seen him disappear before. And now
11:42
that Kirk is there-
11:44
Yeah, but you can call disappearing with
11:48
Desmond Ritter as a disappearing
11:50
act. That's a good point. Yeah. He
11:52
does suck. Well, because Zach Wilson was the quarterback.
11:54
Right. But he wasn't. He had
11:56
a thousand yards. Yeah, that's true. He was still
11:59
there. He still managed- somewhere
22:00
and be the number one, I'm going
22:02
to trade Jackson Smith and jig book. Cause
22:04
he'll give me more than Jameson Williams. And
22:06
James Williams is the easy cut for me
22:08
here where I liked the player, uh, definitely
22:10
flashes. He liked this past week, you know,
22:12
show that he could be a very solid
22:14
fans receiver, just way too inconsistent, whether it
22:16
be injuries, the surrounded target shares going around
22:18
him. Uh, it's
22:21
just not enough for me to remotely consider keeping
22:24
him here or train them here. So to me,
22:26
this was pretty simple. And I
22:28
wish, I wish Jackson Smith and jig, but
22:30
was my hold and like a
22:32
sell T Higgins, but the more I
22:34
watched Jackson Smith and jig, but it seems like
22:36
his best case scenario and fancy football long-term is
22:39
probably a wire receiver too. He doesn't
22:41
offer that wire receiver one upside that I wish I could, I
22:43
w I want to see, um, out
22:45
of them and T Higgins does. So yeah, that's
22:47
my logic. Um, Hmm.
22:52
I mean, I love T Higgins long-term. I mean, obviously this
22:54
year he's, he's still going
22:56
to be stuck in some sort of timeshare, but
22:59
I also, I mean, Jackson Smith and jig is
23:01
going to have better days ahead. And if they're
23:04
going to be coming up as
23:06
early as next season, when he's the
23:08
second, that second option, but two
23:10
or three years down the line, he could be the number one guy
23:12
there. Um, and
23:14
Jameson Williams has done enough this year
23:17
that I'm excited about him. Um,
23:19
you know, he really kind of resurrected his career a
23:21
bit in his, is
23:23
this third or fourth third year? Right?
23:25
Yeah. In his third season. So, um,
23:28
this one is, this one is particularly
23:30
difficult for me because I don't want to cut any one
23:32
of these guys. I really don't. You want shares
23:34
of all three of them. And be fair, there's nobody I want
23:36
to cut at all. I
23:40
want them all on my dynasty. You're on a
23:42
redraft Ross. You're not cutting any of these guys.
23:44
But I think, I think T Higgins still holds
23:47
the name, does he not? As far as trade
23:49
value goes out of, out of these three guys,
23:52
it's close between him and Jackson Smith and jig,
23:54
but probably I would think it would be T
23:56
but, but the upsides we have a T Higgins
23:58
upside. So to me, with
26:00
that one. I do think he's the one guy that
26:03
we could see the most
26:05
realistic value spike in this
26:08
coming year. I don't like Jamison
26:11
Williams, I think is probably close
26:13
to his peak now where he was in
26:15
the valley and now he's ascended, but I
26:17
still don't think we're ever going to see
26:20
him be a wide receiver one. So
26:22
I don't know that he's going to get there for
26:24
me. In Jackson Smith and Jigba, I really like the
26:26
prospect, but I just don't know
26:28
what to do with the Seattle situation. I
26:31
thought by year two, it would be a little more
26:33
clear and I think it'll be more
26:35
clear in year three, but I still don't even
26:38
feel super confident in that, but I do feel
26:40
confident that Tegan's is going to get paid and
26:42
be a wide receiver one. So I'm going to
26:44
keep Tegan's trade Jackson Smith and Jigba and
26:46
then cut Jamison. You and I have been very
26:48
symbiotic. We have been. I'm going to pick up
26:51
Jamison Williams and drop somebody else
26:54
and I'll pick up whoever it was
26:56
you cut. I don't remember Jackson Smith and Jax
26:58
is within Jigba. All right. We should trade them
27:00
to each other. That'll be easier. That way nobody
27:02
else picks them up. Let's
27:05
go to tight end. We kind
27:07
of talked about on the first
27:09
show outside of Mr. Brock Bowers.
27:12
He's kind of in his own tier and
27:14
then there's the conversation for two, three, four,
27:16
five, six, whatever. So here's some
27:18
guys that would be in contention for that. Maybe
27:20
number two spot Dalton Kincaid,
27:23
Sam LaPorta and Trey
27:26
McBride. So keep sell
27:28
cut. Everything's been very clear to me up
27:31
to this point. Okay. But now you're messing
27:33
with my heart. You talk about the tight ends
27:36
and I like all
27:38
the other players. Boy, do I love all these? Like I
27:41
want all of them. I want all the tight ends. So
27:43
again, this comes down to me. The first question
27:46
I asked, cause I like them all
27:48
pretty close equally. Like tier wide, like rank
27:50
wise, they're all next to each other. Who
27:52
will get me the most? Who's taking me
27:54
the most to me? That's clearly Trey McBride.
27:57
He's my cell. So it comes down
27:59
to cut
28:01
Sam LaPorta or cut
28:04
Don Cacade. And listen, I
28:06
ain't just walking out on my husband like that. And
28:08
he still has a clear path to be the number
28:11
one option in an offense. We already saw what just
28:13
a little bit of sprinkle of James and Williams in
28:15
this offense can do to the guy like Sam LaPorta.
28:17
He is currently wide receiver, 17, Sam LaPorta.
28:21
Yeah. Tight end 17. What
28:23
did I say? Why were you seeing tight end 17? So
28:26
as crazy as this sounds to me, it
28:30
makes Sam LaPorta like a pretty easy
28:32
cut here. Cause he's still not, we
28:34
don't even know if he's a third reading this
28:37
offense at times, definitely like Jamir Gibbs there having
28:39
James and Williams kind of coming into the pitch.
28:41
A lot of miles to feed. A lot of
28:43
miles. I'm like Tim Patrick looks decent in this
28:45
office and Cooper's only there for a little bit
28:47
longer. So to me it's Don Cade, uh, trade,
28:49
trade, Trey McBride keep
28:52
Dalton, get Dalda Colton, can't speak
28:54
English worse. And
28:57
caught Sam LaPorta cause Sam LaPorta has
28:59
done diddly squat for me this year.
29:01
And Hey, he's got to go.
29:03
He's he's one year one. He's tight on 17, but
29:07
they've already had their buy. So
29:09
I mean, he is averaging
29:11
7.8 points per game compared to 8.1
29:13
for Dalton Kincaid. So
29:15
it's closer than maybe sad. Like
29:18
it should be, it's 13 points
29:21
per game versus 12 and a half points
29:23
per game. Like it should be more like
29:25
that. It's not not this year. Seven versus
29:27
eight. Trey McBride. And that's that's standard. That's
29:29
not standard. Oh, that's so sad. That's
29:33
PPR. Trey McBride on
29:35
the other hand, 12.2 points per game. So
29:39
I agree with you, Rich. I think Trey
29:41
McBride is the guy that you sell just
29:43
because tight end numbers. We are finding out
29:45
our very fluky year to year. Um,
29:49
so I think I'm going to go with the hot hand there
29:52
for the trade. There is
29:54
no right answer for this cut and keep there
29:56
really isn't. It's a win-win situation. No matter
29:59
who you keep. Yeah. Who you cut, who
30:01
you trade. But I do think the deciding factor is
30:03
the fact that Kincaid's just higher
30:05
on the pecking order in his
30:07
own offense. So I'm gonna stick
30:09
with Kincaid as well. So I
30:11
am copying you Rich. I think
30:13
your logic was sound there. I
30:16
can't even poke a hole in it. I have brains working at 33%
30:18
right now. I'm surprised on
30:20
one that is arguably the closest that were
30:22
three for three. I'm in the same boat.
30:24
I just put a tweet out yesterday and
30:26
boy I had some people mad that I
30:28
actually put Kincaid at two. I saw Zoltan
30:30
even came at you. Oh man, everybody came
30:33
at me. And the funny part was the
30:35
tweet was literally like, I don't really care the order
30:37
that you put these in after Brock Bowers. Like, and
30:39
then everyone's like, you're an idiot for having them there.
30:41
I was like, I literally just said, I don't care
30:43
what order you have them in. Literally don't care. So
30:46
it was kind of funny. But I
30:48
did have like how I had it listed at
30:51
the moment was I had Kincaid at two and
30:53
then McBride at three and LaPorta at four. And
30:55
so it was just gonna line up nicely for
30:57
me. I'll
30:59
keep Kincaid, I'll sell McBride
31:01
and I'll cut LaPorta. All right. Last
31:04
one here before we get into the rookie
31:08
quarterback roundup, let's go
31:10
to these three starting quarterbacks. Joe
31:12
Burrow, CJ Stroud
31:15
and Jordan Love. Keep
31:18
trade cut. Burrow's the
31:20
oldest, huh? Burrow is the oldest. He's
31:24
super ancient. Yeah. Basically one
31:26
foot in the grave. CJ Stroud's 23
31:28
and Jordan Love's gonna be closer to
31:30
that. He's gonna be around Burrow's age.
31:33
This one's easy for me. It's gonna
31:35
kind of shock a little bit maybe, and a cut,
31:37
but maybe not. I'm keeping Jordan
31:39
Love 100%. Okay. Jordan
31:42
Love's 25. Yeah. I'm all in on
31:44
the Jordan Love bandwagon. Every time I see you watch, I
31:46
watch this guy play, I'm like, this is a top five
31:48
quarterback. Points per game. He's number three. He missed those games
31:50
early in the season. Yeah. Points per
31:52
game. He's having a 20. Jordan Love, you gotta keep it.
31:54
Yeah. He's, he's my keeper. Right
31:56
now, overall, Joe Burrow's
31:59
quarterback four has. has a name, has Chase, he's
32:01
my trade. Pretty easily,
32:03
oh. Who do you think has more dynasty value
32:05
right now? Is it CJ Stroud? Actually. Or
32:07
is it Joe Burrow? Yeah, I was gonna say Joe Burrow
32:09
is my easy trade because I think he gets the biggest
32:11
return, but you're right. I think CJ Stroud actually probably would
32:13
get my biggest return, because he was gonna be my cut.
32:16
Because I think overall from
32:18
fantasy points per game perspective, he's the least
32:20
valuable. I would agree with that. He
32:23
doesn't really offer Russian upside. He
32:26
offers such a high floor, which is nice,
32:28
but he's more like Pat Mahomes was. Yeah,
32:31
probably, yeah, honestly probably
32:34
slightly over. Valued.
32:37
But he's so young too, so he's not truly
32:39
overvalued, but if you're looking for upside,
32:42
you want 100%. Again,
32:44
if I go trade Jordan Love for CJ
32:48
Stroud, I'd do it all day long. So I'm
32:50
keeping Jordan Love, I'm trading CJ Stroud, I'm cutting
32:52
Joe Burrow. Real quick, is Jordan Love QB3 right
32:54
now for you then? Would
32:57
it go Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels,
32:59
then Jordan Love? Because while he looks. I
33:01
might be there. Because I'm moving him up
33:03
to the quarterback through. Look at that. For
33:07
me, I don't have a lot of instant reactions.
33:09
I usually analyze these things in my brain before
33:11
I make a decision. Oh, he already is, thank
33:13
you. For
33:15
this one, as soon as I saw the list, I went
33:17
bye Joe in my brain. That was it, bye Joe. That's
33:20
what popped in. With your weak ass wrist. That's
33:23
part of it. But I mean, it's
33:26
the lack of rushing upside. It's all those
33:28
other kind of things that kind of, who
33:30
knows what you're gonna get out of him. He
33:33
said lack of rushing. I'm gonna rip off a 50 some
33:35
yard touchdown. Do you see him the other night? Did he really?
33:37
Yeah, he literally had like a 50 yard
33:39
rush for a touchdown. He got pumped afterwards too. He
33:41
did, he said, read it beautifully. What'd he say? He
33:44
said something on camera, he was like, oh, what'd he
33:46
say? Look at him, Joe all pumped by himself. Like,
33:48
he said something at the end of that touchdown and
33:51
the camera caught it too. And I was like, what
33:53
are you doing? Look at Joe. Just the frosted tips?
33:55
Yeah. Good, that's Joe at
33:57
his best. When he was just like that full. weird
34:00
died. It was a big time run. No, he ran
34:02
on here. Not even close. I feel like he lost
34:04
his mojo at that point. Um,
34:06
glad to see that it's back. Maybe I should keep him. Um,
34:09
anyway, Joe's gone. Jordan love your keeping.
34:12
So that makes CJ Stroud my trade
34:14
for me. And I think CJ Stroud, he's
34:17
got the highest value, right? Like that's, I
34:19
think so. Although I'm guessing loves got it.
34:21
I mean, he's like, he'd be three overall,
34:23
but love, I think he's going to love
34:25
is like in here. So I can't
34:27
just, I can't get rid of him. No, but I
34:29
think it's one of those times where the heart and
34:31
the head line up because he,
34:33
everything he's doing shows. Yep. This is legit.
34:36
He's got a young receiving core, a coach
34:38
that you trust. That's a good offensive mind.
34:40
Like all of those pieces lineup, kind
34:42
of like how it did for a long time with
34:44
Moam's. Now he's lost some of like the weapons. That's
34:47
kind of hurt that. But, uh,
34:49
yeah, I'm I'm three for two
34:51
in a row that we're three for three on. Let's, uh, let's

37:55
I'm so close to you. I really want a chicken sandwich
37:58
with cheese on it. All right. QB,
38:00
quarterback, rookie, I put too
38:02
many words in there, rookie quarterback, round up. Uh,
38:05
we're, we're just going quickly. We're not going to spend a
38:07
ton of time here because of my stomach because of her
38:10
just stomach, but let's
38:12
go through the, the quarterbacks that were either
38:14
first round picks or have at least played
38:17
this year as starters, uh, go
38:19
through them quickly, recap what
38:21
they've done so far this year. And I want to keep a
38:24
few things in mind. One, I want to
38:26
say like at roughly their
38:28
current costs, are you looking to buy
38:30
these quarterbacks or sell these
38:32
quarterbacks and then just
38:34
keep in mind. We did
38:37
this study about rookie quarterbacks this off
38:39
season, the benchmark for
38:41
first and second year. So it's not,
38:43
it's not a, they're not dead if they don't do
38:45
it as a rookie, but in their first or second
38:47
full season, they need to hit that
38:49
17.5 points per game. Numbers
38:52
show us that if they don't get to that point,
38:54
the odds of them getting there are extremely,
38:57
extremely unlikely. So keep
39:00
that in mind. I do. Let's go. So
39:02
first one's Caleb Williams. He was now
39:05
averaging 16.8 points per game. Uh,
39:07
1,317 yards, nine touchdowns, five interceptions, 25 attempts, 169 yards, rushing,
39:12
but zero Russian touchdowns. And
39:14
for me, I'm all, I'm still all in on Caleb Williams
39:16
over these last couple of weeks, if you go back, I
39:19
mean, let's just cut it in half the season and a
39:21
half, uh, over the last three
39:23
starts, he's seven touchdowns, one interception. He's
39:26
looked significantly better, consistent with these last
39:28
three weeks, coming up this week, where
39:30
he arguably his best game in London
39:32
too, which is tough with losing sleep
39:34
and all that, like four
39:36
touchdowns ran for a career high 56 yards
39:38
on, uh, on top of that. So
39:41
through for 20, 26 yards looked really
39:43
good, uh, in that offense. Look, they
39:45
had full command of it really starting to come into his
39:47
own a little bit here with the weapons around him and
39:49
a draft couple around him. I think Caleb Williams is still
39:51
a very fine prospect. It's, it's hard to like,
39:53
I know it's hard for so many people
39:55
like over these last couple of years, like we're looking for this immediate,
39:58
uh, satisfaction. It's so
40:00
hard for a rookie quarterback to come in
40:02
and look good. You know, I know see
40:04
this founded last year, but not
40:06
at a high level from a fancy football, uh,
40:09
uh, outlook doing, coming right now. Like he's like
40:11
a, he's a high end quarterback too, from fancy
40:13
football. Kayla. Yeah. I think you, they'll,
40:15
they'll have like a Pat Mahomes kind of type arch
40:18
type quarterback, just at 22 years old. I think he'll
40:20
Williams looked really good these last couple of years or
40:22
at least these last couple of games. And
40:24
I would totally expect him to get significantly
40:27
better, right? Like he's number one overall pick comes
40:30
with all, all the high praise, everything on tape
40:32
looked really good. And this is what I like
40:34
to see. A rookie quarterback come in every single
40:36
week, just look a little bit better. He started
40:38
to clean things up. You know what I mean?
40:40
He's a little bit telling those offense better. Obviously
40:43
there are still some things that he needs to
40:45
do better from an accuracy standpoint, right? Cause he's
40:47
what is it? 65% of his
40:49
passes are not catchable to DJ
40:51
more. So there's some
40:53
things he's got to clean up and get passes anyway. Right.
40:56
So, you know, he's, there's still room for him
40:58
to get better, which I think is encouraging. And,
41:01
and I do think he'll kind of continue to
41:03
progress like you were saying. Would you, would you
41:05
guys be buying Caleb Williams right now?
41:07
Obviously the, the cost has gone
41:09
back up to probably roughly where it was
41:11
after the, these, these past few games, somebody
41:13
that you're interested in buying. Uh, I'm
41:16
assuming you're probably not selling, but maybe you are. Maybe,
41:18
maybe you're looking to get out from underneath them. Where
41:20
are you guys at as far as that goes? Yeah.
41:22
I mean, obviously if you have Caleb Williams, you drafted
41:24
them, you probably had to one, one, one,
41:26
two pick, right? That's where you're at. You're at one,
41:28
one, one, two. So you're probably in rebuild mode. So
41:30
it's kind of hard to like, you're
41:33
not selling them. You're going to be perpetually rebuilding
41:35
if you get rid of a guy. This is
41:37
a cornerstone type of guy for a rebuild. But
41:39
if he ended up on a team with a
41:41
contender, like players that I would have, I
41:44
wouldn't have a problem selling them for would obviously be like,
41:47
I love to get rid of some like older guys that
41:49
have high upside. Like I would trade Joe burrow for him.
41:51
I would trade Lamar Jackson for him. Again, if I was
41:53
going to ask him rebuilding, who'd
41:55
you rather have between him and Purdy? I would
41:58
take probably Caleb. I think I would.
42:00
would too. It's higher upside. He has
42:03
higher upside, but Purdy is safe.
42:05
So safe and so good. I
42:09
think Stroud and Purdy are better are
42:11
better comparison than like Caleb because
42:13
he's just so young for so much more. There's three
42:15
years offer so much more upside. That was the Russian
42:17
ability. Do you rather
42:19
Stroud or Williams? Stroud
42:22
today but like, that's close. It's
42:24
pretty close. If I'm if I'm, if
42:27
I can get a plus I'm getting yeah plus
42:30
it's it's Caleb Williams. You
42:32
think you think Caleb Williams you can get Caleb
42:34
Williams plus a little bit for C.J. Stroud. I would do
42:37
that as well. I think so. Yeah, I would. If I
42:39
could, I would. Yeah, I don't know about straight up yet.
42:41
But if I could get it any plus
42:43
on top of Caleb, I agree. I agree with that.
42:45
I don't know how much plus you'd get though. I
42:47
don't think a lot. I'll take a second. Yeah, I
42:49
think I think I might do it for an extra
42:51
like those are good dynasty moves and make some time
42:53
see that like if you have a guy that you
42:55
view pretty equally kind of like our keep
42:57
trade cut segment, right? Like like, which guy
42:59
just offers me the most if they're pretty
43:01
close in value like and
43:04
I like a player like I like Caleb Williams, right? If
43:06
I can move Stroud who again like I
43:08
like Stroud but like listen, the reason I like
43:10
Stroud is because he's so young. Right. He's got
43:13
good weapons round. He's super efficient. Yeah. So it's
43:15
not like I like he doesn't offer like a
43:17
lot of metrics that I love from a fantasy
43:20
football standpoint. So if I get a little
43:22
bit more Russian upside of Caleb Williams even like
43:24
I'm flipping C.J. Stroud for Caleb Williams for any
43:26
plus like whether it be because I need one
43:28
out or preferably just a second round pick. Yeah,
43:30
like to the point of like
43:32
I would give CJ Stroud plus for date, Jayden Daniels
43:34
like I would give plus like I don't know how
43:37
much I probably give CJ Stroud and easily
43:39
two seconds for Jane Daniels. Agreed.
43:42
Yeah, I would make that move.
43:44
You're making the right kind of move if you're doing
43:46
that. Those are all kind of moves like say that
43:48
Garrett Wilson Drake London like okay, what do I get
43:50
more for at that point? Like yeah. And for me
43:52
like I'm with
43:54
Garrett like I don't think I'd do it right now straight up
43:57
but I would definitely like if you're any plus on top I'm
43:59
I'm thinking is Jane He's
44:01
my number two overall super flex player. Yeah,
44:04
he's my number two overall quarter. He's my
44:06
number two overall quarterback in Fantasy
44:12
In one QB. I probably be tempted to put Jane
44:14
Daniels ahead of Josh Allen just because of how much
44:16
younger he is But I still haven't gotten that far.
44:18
He's my number two overall player in super flex It's
44:21
not even if I was in if I'm in a
44:23
one QB league with you, I got I got Jordan
44:25
love What would I have to give on top to
44:27
get Jane Daniels prime out? in
44:30
a one QB in a one QB I'm
44:34
just kind of just curious how cuz I mean that's he's
44:36
a true difference maker there. I mean he's They
44:39
both are and and what's funny is
44:42
like Jordan loves averaging points three points
44:44
more per game than Jane Daniels But
44:46
Jane Daniel is also a rookie expect him to get simply better
44:49
And I think I also expect them put another
44:51
really significant good weapon around
44:53
him I expect them to grab more offensive weapons
44:55
whether it be T Higgins would be
44:57
a really good sign in like for Washington That's where
44:59
him in mcclaurin. Yeah, if you want to ask my
45:02
like early spot where T Higgins gonna end up It's
45:04
gonna be Washington, but it's
45:06
such a hard it could still be easily Tennessee go back
45:08
to his old coach could be yeah, so Where
45:11
he's from what would it take on top to get Jane
45:13
Daniels in a one QB? I
45:17
don't I Don't
45:20
know because like I feel like what I would
45:22
want would be unrealistic to ask for Because
45:25
if you offered me a second, I'd rather just
45:27
keep Jayden Daniels, right? So
45:29
like a first probably wouldn't happen and a first
45:31
one in a first one to happen at one
45:33
QB league So that's why I asked this was
45:35
gonna be different from a player standpoint Like it depends
45:37
where my team is right like either An
45:40
upside player that I like for you to be like a
45:42
guy like Jameson Williams, right? Like if okay, I'll give you
45:45
Jordan love and Jameson Williams for Jane Daniels
45:47
for you. I'm sure that probably like enough
45:50
to possibly getting done For
45:52
me like yeah, lad mcconkey and Jordan love for
45:54
Jane Daniels would get done. Okay, someone was like
45:56
myself That's a first round pick but at least
45:59
you take the Pick again, you shows you the value of
46:01
the draft picks over the player, right? Like it's so much
46:03
easier like who are they're at like lab
46:05
McConk you're the first most people go on the first But
46:09
it's really close because you're literally talking my
46:11
number two overall quarterback and my number three
46:13
overall quarterback So he's split hairs But a
46:15
one QB like that Russian outside offers so
46:17
much more And they would
46:19
come down to like is it six points per touchdown
46:21
or four point? I guess we started talking about Jaden
46:23
Dan. Yeah, and we got to and honestly we don't
46:25
even need to talk much about him I think everybody
46:27
has him as a top five quarterback. Yeah in dynasty.
46:29
I don't know that anybody wouldn't know this
46:31
point So I don't think there's a lot
46:33
to go over just highlighting the fact 22
46:36
points per game. He's really freaking good like
46:39
He's got ton of rushing like we kind of sorry
46:41
went through Oh, I remember like I got a lot
46:43
of backlash cuz I did it right away I moved
46:46
Jane Danos up to my number two overall dynasty super
46:48
flex player that over Caleb over Everybody
46:50
over CJ Stroud when people were like over
46:52
CJ Stroud like yeah all day Overseas it
46:55
like all day all night ten out of
46:57
ten times over CJ Stroud Obviously
46:59
I have Jordan Love I had a CJ Stroud too. So I
47:02
was wondering where did where how high is
47:04
Jane Danos get up? your dynasty ranks and
47:08
Super flex a little that's check. I haven't met three
47:10
right now three who's two I'm
47:13
going to adjust it. I I was slow to move
47:15
Pat Mahomes, but at this point I have to I
47:18
have I moved Pat Mahomes on like QB 10. I'm
47:20
not moving him that low I actually still have
47:23
Pat Mahomes there too as well. I've been I've been
47:25
really hesitant to move him He's just not score. He's
47:27
but it's it's been rough for 19
47:30
for almost a year now. Yeah, so is it under
47:33
eight twenty under nineteen points? Yeah
47:36
So yeah, it's time what you can't do cuz if
47:38
I offered you Jane Daniels for Pat Yeah, Pat Mahomes.
47:40
I offer you Jane Daniel straight up. You would snap
47:42
accept it. Of course. So yeah, so your rankings
47:45
are wrong agreed, let's
47:47
go to Let's go to number three because there's
47:49
not a ton to do with Daniels on top
47:51
of what we've already done Drake may
47:55
I'll be the first to admit as much
47:58
as I've been kind of the leader
48:00
of the Drake may fan club
48:02
for this show. I
48:05
was pleasantly surprised in this first game. I thought
48:07
this was going to be a rough game. You
48:09
put them out there with missing his running back
48:12
one, a terrible offensive
48:14
line, very, very limited
48:16
receiving core and okay, tight ends.
48:19
And you're going to tell me that he's
48:22
going to go out there against Houston and put up three touchdowns.
48:24
I did not see that coming at all,
48:27
but I will say I was very encouraged. 21 and
48:29
a half points in his only start so far, 20
48:31
of 33, 243 passing yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions. Also
48:37
put an additional five attempts out there for
48:39
another 38 yards, which is, which is not
48:41
nothing. You know, almost an
48:43
extra four points. If you get 40 yards, roughly
48:45
40 yards a game from a guy, that's, that
48:47
adds up. That adds up real quick. So
48:50
overall by QB one material for, for you
48:52
guys, this was one of the guys that
48:54
I arguably wanted to talk about the most with
48:56
doing the segment because it was his first game and
48:58
what we saw, what are
49:00
your guys's feelings on Drake may? Um, cause
49:03
I know I, I was alone on
49:05
Drake may over McCarthy, which I'm sure a lot of
49:07
people would put him over now. You flip
49:09
flop. Do you kept going back and forth? You can make up
49:11
right. The day of the, we did our draft party. I was
49:14
talked into, we, we kind of talked to this group and I
49:16
said, okay, I'll take JJ over. It's real close. But
49:18
then literally when we left, I did my, I did my rankings.
49:20
I put it right back to me because I remember Jared put
49:23
on, like, oh, you already flipped on may. I'm like, yeah, I
49:25
got to take may over. Uh, JJ it's
49:27
pretty easy. The more I think
49:29
about it. Yeah. So, so with
49:31
that, what are your guys's
49:33
feelings on Drake may? Obviously it's one game. It
49:35
is so much could still go wrong, especially on
49:37
a team this bad, but what are your thoughts
49:39
on him for a quarterback as young as he
49:42
is. And that is experiences, you know, a lot
49:44
of other core best coming into first starts. Uh,
49:47
you mentioned 243 pass in yards, three
49:49
touchdowns and as a rocking star, like through
49:51
two picks and he lost a fumble,
49:54
um, started off like early in the
49:56
game was a little rough looking for him, but after
49:58
a halftime, he really settled in. and
50:00
looked really good. It's
50:02
good, like really
50:05
good for somebody who's coming in for their first
50:07
start against a pretty good defense versus
50:09
defense of the men in the field. Yeah,
50:11
and all the scenarios got
50:15
me very optimistic about Drake May. Like he uses
50:17
legs, he kind of showed it like he did
50:19
in college. He said almost 50 yards rushing. His
50:21
arm looked fantastic. All the high
50:23
points that you saw on tape for Drake May kind of showed there
50:25
in the second half of the game. He's
50:28
so young. Very young, yep.
50:31
So, and again, I mean, if you're
50:33
talking about like a great buy, which you're not gonna be able to
50:35
go get him because people invest a lot into him. Like
50:37
Drake May offers a lot of upside. Let
50:39
me. With some weapons getting
50:41
around him. His arm looked good, his leg
50:43
looked good. His decision making the second half looked
50:46
really good. It looked like a very promising prospect.
50:48
I miss the fumble. How did that come about?
50:51
Or what was the scenario? Did you guys see that or no?
50:53
I'd have to go back and watch it. I believe it was
50:55
on a sack, but I don't remember
50:57
for sure. So I'll go back and watch the full game.
50:59
Cause that's one of the ones where I really want to
51:01
go back and see every snap of his.
51:03
And I saw him on like red zone and stuff like
51:05
that. So I'm pretty sure it was on a turnover. That
51:07
is how I saw it as well. So I missed that.
51:09
And I was just curious. Cause the one question I had
51:11
about him, it was kind of like the elongated delivery. They
51:14
kind of just him taking kind of a while to get
51:16
rid of the ball. So I
51:18
just wanted to know if that was kind of one of
51:20
those things where he was dropped back for pass. He tries
51:22
to go for it and somebody knocks the ball out of
51:24
his hands. I don't think that was the case. I'm with
51:26
you. I can't really remember. Okay. No big
51:28
deal. I'll go back and watch it
51:30
myself, but Drake may, I mean, obviously this is all encouraging,
51:32
you know, you don't want to see the three
51:35
turnovers to go along with the three
51:37
touchdowns, but the dude has, he's
51:39
got talent. He could spin it. You know
51:41
what I mean? And we saw him kind
51:43
of resurrect Hunter Henry for a week. Kayshaun
51:45
Booty came out and was, it
51:48
was looking good. Who knows? Maybe that guy
51:50
emerges as, as a thing. Kayshaun
51:54
Booty was, it was never
51:56
a, really a skill thing. He was kind of,
51:58
he was a bit of a knucklehead. Like
1:06:00
he, people like we see Spencer Rattlers all
1:06:02
the time at very best, his best case
1:06:04
scenario, he's Gardner Minshew. I
1:06:08
mean, I, I understand
1:06:11
the, the likelihood of
1:06:13
him becoming a startable quarterback for
1:06:16
fantasy football is,
1:06:18
is not high. Anybody that's not a day
1:06:20
one pick. Yeah. It's not high,
1:06:22
but like of the guys that you take
1:06:24
in the on from day three, I
1:06:29
think there's a little bit here, especially in
1:06:31
a Kubiak offense, which is actually a very
1:06:33
good fit for how he plays, which is
1:06:35
a little bit more like a home style
1:06:38
where a little more ad lib, a
1:06:40
little more run around a little more like that kind of
1:06:42
stuff. Like I actually don't think he's a terrible fit depending
1:06:44
on how the season goes. He might get more starts. Most
1:06:49
of these incompletions were actually later in the
1:06:51
game when they were just down so much. He's just
1:06:53
having to chuck it down the field through some picks because of that too.
1:06:56
Like he, they were down a billion
1:06:58
points. He just had to chuck it.
1:07:00
So early in the game, he actually
1:07:02
played pretty well. Still had
1:07:05
250 yards. Like, listen, again, I
1:07:08
don't know. I'm, I'm not as out as you are.
1:07:11
I, what do you give
1:07:13
him? If he didn't poop to bed, dude, he's
1:07:15
a six foot 24 year old quarterback that
1:07:17
to me offers almost zero percent long-term
1:07:22
upside. That's how I've seen him since the draft. I would give
1:07:24
her, I would have what Rich just said is how I viewed
1:07:26
him. But here's the thing. I
1:07:29
never even put him
1:07:32
in a queue to be drafted on any one of my, I
1:07:36
don't have a lot of them, but here's the thing. Even just from
1:07:38
a roster construction standpoint, if
1:07:40
you give up a third for him or have
1:07:43
a third easy, like, okay, you
1:07:45
lose your third. Who cares? If a quarterback,
1:07:47
even Tracy cares, even remotely hits like exponential growth on
1:07:50
that. Cause
1:07:55
you know what? And next year's draft and the third
1:07:57
round I can grab a different Spencer Rattler. I
1:08:00
mean, then why not just take this in the third round. Which
1:08:02
I wouldn't do it because I would grab the Tyrone Tracys. All
1:08:04
right. This running back class is going to be so deep, there's
1:08:07
going to be a lot of Tyrone Tracys to grab from it.
1:08:09
It's just, man, like for that, like I
1:08:11
don't like, like, here's, don't I'm going
1:08:13
to have a third floor? If I have
1:08:15
Derek Carr and I need another
1:08:17
starter because nobody else is going to start, then I'd probably trade a
1:08:20
third for him maybe. That,
1:08:22
like, I'd have to have Derek Carr. I
1:08:25
mean, anybody that has any start, you're going to have to give
1:08:27
a third floor. Yeah, but he
1:08:29
sucks. I disagree. That's right.
1:08:31
That's what we're here for. All right. Can
1:08:34
daddy go eat? Adios.
