Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Good Vibes / Bad Vibes, Fantasy News

Two-for-two catches for 33 yards had a very good preseason finale. Obviously, they did not play. What? They didn't play Langford. They didn't play Kedeme Carey. And they didn't play against tough competition. So you have to take that with plenty of salt. Always a good thing to see when you draft a running back. And he performs into those circumstances, fixes his kind of preseason vibes. Does that worry you at all from a Jerry Langford? No. And I think it will worry some people in your league. So maybe this will help.

You draft Jeremy Langford this weekend. Kevin White caught four for four targets for 57 yards. Showed a couple flashes of competence. There he is. That's cute. Tyler Gaffney left the preseason finale with an ankle injury. I think this is important just because the ankle injury is mostly minor. But he is definitely one of those guys that's on the roster bubble. He is like for me today. And I don't know if that would happen or not. But I am watching for, I'm on Tyler Gaffney alert.

Because I think if he makes the roster, I'm not really, you know, looking for Legerat Blunt because I think they'll end up splitting. But if he got cut because of the injury or anything, because he was already on the bubble, if he got cut, then I'm back on Legerat Blunt. Here's, and again, I'm an ASU guy, so I have a little extra attention paid attention to guys like DJ Foster. DJ Foster had a very good game last night.

nine of 10 receptions from Brady for 110 yards. He is built to be a third down wide receiver type of running back. He also had nine carries for only 22 yards. I think that there's a chance that, you know, Foster makes the team and Gaffney doesn't. Yeah, I mean, beatwriters are saying that Foster is already, even before that game, some of the beatwriters were saying Foster's a lock to make the roster. So let's go, Bashad Perryman. Hey!

Hey, look. I am so proud of you. What? Bashar? He got. He played. He played. This is the first time in his career. Two of four targets for 25 yards. Aren't you? I am actually. He's got to be very happy. I am thrilled. All sarcasm aside, I'm thrilled to see him out and playing. You just never know because such a seemingly minor injury. Obviously it wasn't. But what seemed to be minor at the beginning of last year kept him out the whole year. Then you come back with.

what seems like, well, it seemed like a torn ACL. And then it was mine. You just don't know. And we've never seen him actually play a snap of preseason or regular season NFL football. So this is great news. It's another one of those things yesterday on the, if you didn't hear the show yesterday, go back. It's a pretty fun show. We did our 10 ridiculously bold predictions for the year. One of mine was, oh, and by the way, there's like 170 comments on the YouTube video for that of people.

Either making their own taking their own or insulting a variety of ours in big ways. Some people really agreeing with the one I said about Joe Flacco and the Ravens. And look, Perryman's a guy didn't even mention yesterday, I think, in the list of weapons that he has that nobody knows fantasy-wise who's going to produce, but he still has this assortment of weapons. You know, it's kind of like New England, where the ball gets spread around.

or at least the projection of the ball getting spread around. Oh, is it, you know, James White? Are we going to see Hogan? Are we going to see Edelman? Are we going to see Benet? Are we going to see all these different options? There's a Grinchill. So I think that they'll have some. He'll have weapons. He'll find them. Pairman's probably not on the fantasy radar, but there you go. So we're going to now break into our good vibes.

And our bad vibes. And I'm excited about this. Let's go ahead and jump in. You better check yourself before you wreck yourself. Got to check yourself, Mike. Always. Every day. Always. You don't want to wreck yourself. That would be a mistake. Let's check in on the guys that we feel have made a movement. Sure. Sure. Some of this is preseason playing.

Some of this. I'm having an eight-year-old Jason over there. Some of these are guys that had question marks at the beginning of the off season or the preseason that maybe we're feeling better about, worse about. And so good vibes, bad vibes. Let's start with some bad vibes. Let's start with some bad vibes here. That's the exact sound bad vibes make. Let's go with Will Ty. Oh, man.

So talk about this, Mike. This one is extremely disappointing. The Giants tight end. So bad vibes about Will Ty for the Giants. The New York Giants have, we know that there is a tight end battle that's been going on. Larry Donnell and Will Ty. We've seen them both Flash. Will Ty most recently. They picked him up last year and he was performing not only for the team. Once he really established himself and was playing full time, he was a back end tight end one.

He was putting up good fantasy numbers, and it's a guy that I've been hoping I could target late in my drafts. I've been projecting him to be the starter, but he played in the fourth quarter last night of the fourth preseason game. You don't do that if you're the starter. No, you certainly don't. So bad advice for Will Ty. You guys both told me on a show about a week and a half ago or two weeks ago.

that you'd be totally fine taking Will Ty at the end of a draft and playing him. And I told you I thought that was crazy. If Will Ty was the starter, I absolutely would be. At that point, it looked like he was going to be the starter. I mean, he was the first guy out in the preseason. He played the first snaps. He was getting the targets. And I definitely think whoever the starter is there.

is going to be capable of scoring as many fantasy points as other middling tight ends around the league because they target the tight end in the red zone. So that's why this is really sad with Will Ty. He's playing in the fourth quarter of the fourth preseason game. That's like Austin Sparion Jenkins playing 56 snaps. Was that the punishment that ASJ got for yelling at Cutter in the game? Oh, Cutter said, no way. Wink. He said, no, that's not a point. I just needed to see him more. I believe Cutter also, I know, I believe.

Did he say wink? That would be great if Cutter actually said, yes, we love ASJ around here. Wink. He doesn't even wink. He just says it. Yeah, he just says it. Yeah, you don't play 59 snaps or whatever ASJ does if you're in the solidified starting tight end roll. Now, wait a minute. Maybe you show him off to trade him. Does that mean that we should be worried about, you know, maybe Tom Brady's not going to.

Not going to be the starter. Slightly different circumstances. That was just so crazy to me. I don't care. I think it's super smart. You do? Oh, yeah. Oh, you could not convince me that it is a wise decision. Okay. Super smart is not right. I understand it. He's had almost no reps in the preseason. He's going to miss the four games. They wanted to get him some live reps. He was clearly on the same page. Now, if he gets hurt, Belichick's question for the rest of his career. But you've got to do some things like that. It wasn't the starting line, though.

That's true. I'm not putting out the golden boy without some serious beef in the front. All right. Let's jump into another good vibes. Let's go good vibes here. Good vibrations for Rashad Jennings. I'm going to give Rashad Jennings some good vibrations here. Sticking with the Giants. Yeah, we're sticking with the Giants here. Look, the foreheaded rotation seems to be gone. Paul Perkins is a rookie.

You have Shane Vereen who will be involved, obviously, and I think effective. But Rashad Jennings has this starting job on lockdown, making him a great draft day value. I feel really good about, like, we had the draft the other day, our listener league draft, 14-team league. I felt really good grabbing Rashad Jennings. You cursed my name when I did it. Yes. And just throwing him in there as a running back, too. I feel good about that. You know, Andre Williams played a tonne last night. But you know who played before Andre Williams?

Orleans Darkwa. Orleans Darkwa. Andre Williams, I'm like refreshing the page waiting to see Andre Williams has been released. I'm putting this one out there that I think he is not long for the roster. So do you guys feel good about Rashad Jennings with me? I feel fantastic. I, unfortunately, I feel like the whole world does because he's rising too high up 80. He's in the 6th. I think he's still a good value in the 6th. Big jumps. Yeah. So, yeah.

All right, before we get into the rest of the good vibes, bad vibes, we need to pause for just a second and thank the sponsors to this show. The sponsors of the podcast help keep the lights on.
