Player Price Check + We Have Liftoff! - Fantasy Football Podcast

of the season for Tevin Coleman. I know he had the playoff game where he came out and he crushed out of nowhere. But besides that, it was really, really bad. Everything was going to Mosterd. There is the injury history with Coleman, too. Yes. So we saw it at the beginning of last year. I think he missed. Rahim Moster also has.

Some injury history. Yeah, Rahim Moster. I mean, there's a reason he's putting more pounds on his body because he's worried about... Because he's got those Omaha steaks. Yeah. So I just... You can strap those on his pads. I am also adding 10 pounds. Getting ready to watch football. Right. I don't want to be injured this year watching football. You've got to protect yourself. Putting on mass. Yeah. So I just pulled up the ADP now that we...

have had it revealed. And listen to this four pack of running backs that are going running backs 40 through 43. It's Tariq Cohen, Philip Lindsay, Tevin Coleman, and Matt Berita. Now, only one of them. Mike's face went full. Only one of those guys has the chance to be the starter week one, right? I mean, nobody else in that group could actually be the starter week one. And only one of those guys is on a prolific rushing offense.

So to me, this is, I'm, I look at Kevin Coleman like a guy I don't want this year. But for where he's going, the running backs is going around. Do you want him in the ninth round? Yeah. I would. Yeah, I would. And Andy does not. I'm thinking. You're taking too long. I mean, look, yeah, ninth round. You take your shot.

at having a running back that matters. It's not fun to try to find ones that matter when you're on the waiver water. Let me read running backs behind him and you guys chime in when you say that's the guy I would rather have as my late round running back. Okay. Matt Breed. Latavius Murray. Darrell Henderson. I'm sorry, Darnell Anderson. No. Both names. No. Alexander Madison. No. Tony Pollard.

No. Duke Johnson. No. Boston Scott. Devanta Freeman. Justin Jackson. You see the point. There's no other. Murray is the only one that you look at and you say you know he's going to have carries in a good offense. It's a similar situation. Great upside. That's a handcuff. Exactly. But I mean, we know what Kevin Coleman has been and will be. He's not going to be a top 12 running back. Not over the course of the year. It's not going to happen. I agree. But he could be on a week to week basis if you catch the right week. Yeah. And my point is.

that he could be the week one lead starter. Yes. Which Murray won't be. There's no one else. He is the last potential week one starter according to Fantasy ADP. Sure. So I'm in. All right. Let's talk about Cortland Sutton. He's our consensus number 25 overall wide receiver. Oh, I can guarantee he's being overdrafted where we have him.

Yeah, last year he finished at wide receiver 19, 16 games, 72 for 11006. We know we've seen the highlights. Very bad end of the year. A beast. One of the things that happened in Denver once Sutton got going is teams realized they didn't have to guard anybody but Cortland Sutton. It's one of the reasons I think Fant had some decent games at the very end of the year is Sutton was getting shut down. But teams can't do that this year.

That's kind of where I'm going. I'm going with the fact that the drafting of Jerry Judy is pretty important to the success of Cortland Sutton, perhaps in the same way that you need a healthy Deontay Johnson evolution for Juju to be relevant. You need more than one guy so that you can't be shut down and the only focus in an offense. We've got him at 25. Where do you think he's going?

He's probably near a top 15 wide receiver. There's a lot of hype for a guy who is, you know, he was drafted to be a star. Last year, he did everything in his power to show that he is for real. And I believe he is absolutely for real. Like, you don't make some of those highlight catches. However, there are so many question marks. There's a reason that I've got him down in my 20s. But I think that the...

Usually when there is a medium breakout on a wide receiver of a young one, the next year, his ADP is you've got to, you've got to buy in and go all in to get him. Yeah, he's at 501. So he's the wide receiver 17 off the board. So well above where our consensus has him. Probably, I like the phrasing that you just brought up, Jason, which was medium breakout. He had kind of a medium breakout, which is the kind of breakout you have on a team that's.

Not necessarily fun to watch all year long. That starts with Joe Flacco. Exactly. Talent is there. For sure. Variables are there in the consistent play of Drew Locke in the way that the end of the year function for Sutton and him existing as that wide receiver won with Jerry Judy and company. I think this team will run the football quite a bit. Do you, since we have them below there, are you going to spend the first pick of the fifth round on Cortland Sutton? Are you going to

Look elsewhere. I probably am not. I feel like my ranking is too low for Cortland Sutton. Given the range of outcomes, given that he was a 1,100 yard receiver last year, it's just very difficult to buy into Drew Locke production. I mean, Drew Locke is surrounded by weapons, but Drew Locke's production, he was 4 and 1.

As a quarterback. He won four out of the five games that he started. He must be great. And he failed to break 200 yards in three of those games. That's not a lot. One of those games was 208 yards. Ooh, he broke it though. Yeah. He smashed it. His big game was against Houston, 309 and 3, which at that point, Houston was just hemorrhaging points to the quarterback position. Houston, we have a problem. Yeah.

You're on fire today, Jason. I'm just here for the quick witty comments. That's it. No one saw that coming. Yeah. But that's what I mean. Like 200 yards. That seemed to be his baseline. Can that really improve over the course of the season? It can certainly improve. Oh, I know it can improve because 200 yards is really low. Yes.

But obviously, he had five starts, you know, and those are his first five starts in his career. So, you know, you usually look at any rookie going into his second year at quarterback saying things are going to get better, not worse, as the game slows down for. Yeah, for Baker. Right, but it doesn't always happen. Drew Locke is the reason I've got Cortland Sutton Lowe because while I do think it's 17's too high. It's too high. I agree. It is too high. That's not to say he can't.

beat it. But now Noah Fant is coming into his second year. They draft Jerry Judy. You have a giant question mark. I think a Melvin Borden out of the backfield. You've got, you've got other weapons there. I mean, you look at Cortland Sutton had six games last year where, you know, he was outside that top 36 wide receiver. Four of those six came in the five starts with Drew Locke. Oh, don't say that. Now it was small sample, so we're not going to extrapolate from a five game.

But if you were to extrapolate, that's the only set you can extrapolate from. Yes, the only thing we can look at is the five games that we have. But, you know, so it's, he's just, he's not guaranteed to take that next step. There's probably guys going behind him that I would prefer over him like a Calvin Ridley, a Robert Woods. Play the same game. What wide receivers are going around the area of Cortland Sutton? All right. So, uh, AJ Brown.

is the wide receiver being drafted one spot ahead of Cortland Sutton. Okay. That's easy. Appropriately. Yeah. I would rather have AJ Brown. Keenan Allen right after Cortland Sutton. Okay. He's a, he's a tough one. That's a tough. Calvin Ridley and Robert Woods are right after them. Both of whom I would much prefer over Sutton. I would as well. Devante Parker, D.K. Metcalfe. That's where he belongs in that group. That's the range. Yep. Yeah. So, you know, and that means to me that, uh,

guys like Ridley and Woods are going to be a better value and land on more of my teams than Sutton. And again, this is a price check. It's not a talent indictment. Cortland Sutton is a great wide receiver, broke the most tackles amongst all wide receivers in football last year. Oh, he's so good. There's a good and a bad when you see the kind of crazy highlights he had last year. It's good because it says this player can dominate. But you only get to make crazy highlights when there's bad balls being thrown your way. And you're not open.

Right, you're covered and the ball is barely catchable. Then you can make a cool highlight, but that's not what you want to bank on. He finished four of the last five weeks at the wide receiver position, 71st, 51st, 52nd, or I'm sorry, 56, 41st, 51st, 45th. And those are the games true lot was starting. Five games that you can't start him. That's painful. So that just shows you, you know, the difference between an upper echelon.

Top tier wide receiver is what are you guaranteed to get every week. And Sutton is not in the guarantee category. That's why we have them a little lower than ADP. Let's talk about Drew Breeze. I think this one's fun to discuss. Drew Breeze is... What are you cackling about over there? I'm just super excited about Drew Reeves. You got another sweet movie reference. Oh, then it's locked and loaded. Just you wait. Just you wait. No, that's jumping John. I can't go to movies. Some...

This is not on me. You go check the film. July, July 3rd, I think that hits in the movie category. So then all of a sudden he's, you go check the film. I just said it. I look over and Andy gave me the eyes like, yeah, we were all thinking it, Jason. Sometimes you don't say what you're thinking. Dude, I would be so much better off if I did not always say what I was thinking. This is just a fact of life. But this is good. For better or worse, this is me. That's the letter.

Your wife wrote you yesterday. It would be better. No. We haven't met the consensus quarterback six. Very enthusiastic about Drew Brie's prospects this year, not really thrown off by the age. I am curious where he's going in basketball leagues right now. Yeah, that's an interesting one because best ball, you know, these are people primarily that are thinking they're...

Their head is in the game. They follow. They track this. The age could. I'm going to guess it's right where we have him. I'm going to guess he's going as the quarterback six off the board. And that would be what? The eighth round, seventh round? Yeah, I'm going to say quarterback eight. I think he's going a little lower. And I mean, I've got him as my quarterback four. So I'm apparently all in on Drew Brees this year. Mike, where do you think he's going? I'm going to reveal. I can't disagree. I'm over here trying to figure out.

He had a great year, and he was averaging 271 passing yards per game. And I'm in on Drew Breeze as well. I'm just trying to craft the narrative of can it not work? And it very easily could not work. It all comes down to those touchdowns where the last three years he averaged 270 yards a game, 266 yards a game. The biggest difference was...

in touchdowns. Can he sustain that touchdown rate? Well, he's going lower than where we have it. He's the quarterback 10 off the board. Oh, okay. Ninth round pick, middle of the ninth round, Drew Brees, sitting at QB10. I'm all about that. I think I will take that. If I can grab my quarterback four as the quarterback 10 off the board, a guy who.

I think is going to actively be trying to break records this season, a guy who has his best wide receiving core now that they've added Emmanuel Sanders and Jared Cook, you know, is fully integrated. Of course, Can't Guard Mike is always there. You know, this is the opportunity for Drew Breeze to go out on a super high note is there. And if he's the 10th quarterback off the board,

I'm all in. I think, you know, we've talked a lot about the upside of Tom Brady, but the risk, you know, and Drew Breeze is in that age category where this team has the, maybe unlike Tampa, this team does have the ability to take the pressure off of Drew Breeze if they want to, with Alvin Camara, with Latavius Murray, with what they can do in the running game. And their defense. And so if the team is, if Breeze is not.

the breeze of old, they have the ability to pivot a little bit. And, you know, when it ends, it ends. Not seeing it happening for Drew Breeze at 41, but, you know, especially with the average depth of target and where he carves defenses up, that being said, it's still one of the risk factors for Drew Breeze. You also, I think, you know, you're going to get less of the weak winning type of performances for Drew Breeze. That's been the problem. He's steady, but he's not going to, Lamar Jackson and Pat Mahomes you a week.
