the target share that Philip Rivers just gives to his running backs no matter what. Oh, Danny Woodhead. Yeah. I mean, historically, there's so many guys. Darren Sprouls. Even Melvin Gordid, the reason he was able to be great for fantasy is because of all the receptions that he was getting. So we do. We need to revisit what Naheem Hines could be in this offense. I had a tip on yesterday's show. Don't just look at the prototypical as a, as a.

42:43 ↗

an option, and they have the best offensive line in football and the most check-down happy quarterback in football and a lot of inexperience at wide receiver. You have T.Y. Hilton deals with injuries. You have Michael Pittman and Paris Campbell, both essentially rookies this year. And here you have Naim Hines squirting out of the backfield. All right. Very important question here from Fantasy Football Clinic. Who is the most guff player?

43:13 ↗

in the league not named Russell Wilson. Oh, Mr. Unlimited? Well, you have Jared Guff. Oh, okay, okay. But I don't think that's the spirit of the question. No, we're talking Guff on the field or at least Guff off the field, but Guff in the person. Hmm. It's really hard to look beyond Russell Wilson. I think the most, I have the answer, unfortunately. Al Boylan's not going to like it. It's Aaron Rogers.

43:43 ↗

No. Aaron Rogers. What? He's got, you've seen those guffy faces he's got on the field? No, that's because he don't take no guff. Oh, come on. And his wide receivers are just, they are shoveling the guff all over the field. Sometimes you're the one with the guff and he doesn't ever take. You're the one with the guff.

44:02 ↗

standing up for your man Aaron Rogers over here. Really? We're best friends. I don't know if you've seen my pin tweet. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, I agree. He doesn't strike me as... That video had a lot of guff in it too. That video is pure guff. I will go through it again. I promise you, guff free. How about, man, Jarvis Landry threw Hard Knocks last year just made me... Oh, I love Jarvis. Oh, yeah. Give me some Jarvis. I was in on Jarvis. All right. Odell's got way more guff than Landry does. Maybe.

44:32 ↗

I don't know. I feel like we are all working from completely different definitions of what Guff could possibly mean. Wait, this weird, ethereal word of made-up word Guff? No one can define it. What coach has the most Guff? Ooh, most guff at the coach. I feel like this one. Most of them get fired, so. Yeah, it's, it's not Adam Gaines. He's the worst. He's the worst, but I don't think he's. Matt Nagy. Yeah, that's a good one.

45:02 ↗

Those press conferences last year. Oh, we really want to run the football? Yeah. No, yeah. You got it. Matt Nagy. There you go. Well, because, like, the way I'm looking at is all those dumb trick plays that don't work. And he's like, what about this time? It was a lot of gup on the field. Yeah, you know what they won't see coming? Magic trick. Mike Davis. Is this your card? Yeah.

45:27 ↗

Is this your card? Sandrino in Switzerland has a question. Oh, Bonjour. Wants to know why is Sammy Watkins not being drafted? Because he's been drafted before. Yeah, we've dealt with it so many times. Scar tissue. Scar tissue is the reason that Sammy Watkins hasn't been drafted. Oh, man. How did he not come up with Guff? Look at his Twitter account. Look, so for Sammy Watkins.

45:59 ↗

Why he's not being drafted, we know he had to take less money to stay with the team. He is kind of acknowledging he will have a, he will be less involved this year than he is hoping for and he's okay with that. He had almost 100 targets from Pat Mahomes. That is in a great offense. He was on the field. He's a lies. And here is his fantasy finish week by week. We all remember at week one.

46:27 ↗

He was the number one wide receiver. It was unbelievable. Here's the fantasy finishes from then on out. 49, 44, 57, 139, 51, 38, 131, 5045, 67, 103. It really seems impossible. He's on the field. He's getting targeted from Pat Mahomes in the Chief's offense. It's how many times can you touch the stove?

46:54 ↗

Right. Exactly right. Like, learn your lesson. I've learned it. How many fingers have been burnt already? I mean, it's like, oh, maybe this? I've got two fingers left, and those are my favorites. I call them keepers. I'm not touching Sammy Watkins with them. To be clear, to be clear to our listeners, Sammy Watkins will score 40 to 50 fantasy points in week one. In one of the weeks, for sure. Yeah, we're not saying it's impossible. Week one is the worst for him to do that in. He's back.

47:23 ↗

Oh, gosh. Well, I mean, we just talked yesterday. These offenses every year, there's three, four, five, six offenses that sustain two wide receivers. Why wouldn't it be Andy Reid's offense? Yes, it should be Andy Reid's office. It should be. It could be. But if I'm drafting one, it's Nicole Hardman. I would rather take the chance that he plays his way into the role he should have over Watkins than drafting Watkins. Yeah, if you had to lock in.

47:50 ↗

McColl Hardman or Sammy Watkins into your lineup from week one through week 16. You don't get to change it. It would be Hardman for me. Yeah, I'm not touching Sammy. Yeah, it's rough. All right. Last question here, Instagram. How do you prioritize drafting quarterbacks in a two quarterback dynasty startup draft? So this is a dynasty league, but you play two.

48:14 ↗

You can play too. Yeah. So in a normal Superflex or 2QB, a lot of times I try to get two middle tier guys. I don't like going after one of the great super expensive first, second rounders. I'll wait until that fourth, fifth, and then I'll double tap them. But in a dynasty league, quarterbacks do last a long, long time. If I'm at the first or second spot,

48:43 ↗

Probably taking Mahomes. I mean, not many people out there with a 10-year contract in a Super Flex league. So I do think you want to look at quarterbacks early. You definitely need to make sure you're looking at your tiers late and get a third starting quarterback. That's going to be really hard to do in a league like this. I mean, you're playing a Dynasty League. You're already fighting for quarterback depth with one starter. And a two-starter league,

49:12 ↗

longevity has to go into the picture. So that way, if you do need to pivot from one of these other guys, you know, you spend a middle round pick or a late round pick on a short shelf life quarterback, the Phillip Rivers or the big bin to hold you over for a start here or there, you better have that other position locked up for years. And if you've never experienced Superflex dynasty, the backups will be drafted as well. Oh, yeah. So just pay attention to that.

49:39 ↗

What about Josh Rosen? Will he be drafted? No. Tom Brady is going to be great because you'll get him for another seven years and nobody wants him. All right. Before we close it out, I want to remind you two more days left. Get the Ultimate Draft Kit at Ultimate DraftKit.com. Get in on the giveaway, which we have on the live stream on Friday. UDK for Life giveaway. You can learn more about, I think this year, more than any other year, the prepared owner, the prepared fantasy player.

50:09 ↗

is going to make a humongous difference. We, you know, we talked with Adam Lefco the other day about the fact that it's me. We are terrible people. Adam Lefco. I just said with so much love. Oh, we love. So much. But. Yours is so good, Andy. Like, I really do. You guys are so much better at the Lefco than I am. And I take great pride in that because anything to be like that man. Yeah. But.

50:38 ↗

He talked about the fact that how hard is it going to be on Vegas this year? Like one of the indicators that we've brought up as a tip on the show before is Vegas lines, you know, the over unders, what are they expecting out of these performances? They're sharp people. But here we have empty stadiums, no preseason games, defenses that, you know, Jason was making the point might have the advantage to start the season, rookies that don't have the reps we're expecting. Is Vegas going to be able to get a read?

51:06 ↗

on what's going to take place. Did you see Robbie Gould talking about kicking about how when the stadiums are empty, it will change how the wind is reacting inside the stadium? No, I did not see that. Yeah. Also, don't have kickers in your fantasy football league. As you say, I learned about that in his ultimate kicker kit. He's doing a lot of mathematical analysis. That will be weird for, I mean, the pressure-packed parts of football, those...

51:33 ↗

long third downs when you don't have the I mean you go to the stadiums in the NFL now and it's like how many false starts have we caused over the course of the year and here you are on third down you can hear everything I think that that is going to be false starts are going to be far more embarrassing this year yes you know what I mean like it's going to be you didn't need to you could hear me it was him it was him
