Fantasy Football Podcast 2017 - Free Agency Predictions, Fantasy Implications

I will sacrifice. All right. You know, the guy that I think is a nobody to somebody is actually a somebody for fantasy just about every year, and that's Brian Hoyer.

Brian Hoyer is going to sign. There's a lot of talk at the comment right now from GMs that are saying, you know, look, we just need to sign someone like a Brian Hoyer and draft a quarterback for the future. He's not a great long-term answer. Do a lot of people use him as that like that? Yes, that's, I saw a Twitter report saying that that's what they're hearing. A lot of times sign someone like a Brian Hoyer and draft a quarterback. And then Brian Hoyer like pops up. Hey, guys. I'm.

I'm right here. They're like, no, we need someone like a Brian Hoyer, not the Brian Hoyer. All right, I'll leave. You have. And then Ryan Mal pokes his head and goes, huh? A guy that's had streamable fantasy relevance in Cleveland, in Houston, and in Chicago. He was great in Houston, and he was great in Chicago. That's my point. And so, I mean, if I'm a GM, give me Brian Hoyer for cheaper over Jay Cutler.

a hundred out of a hundred times. Do you think a guy like Sean McVane knows in his heart already that if he just brought Brian Hoyer in his season would be better than if he tried with Jared Gough in any way? He knows it would be, but he wouldn't do it. That's not what Los Angeles fans want to hear. That being said, they want to hear the future is bright for Jared Gough. Man, they, I love, I just love that Houston, they got rid of Brian Hoyer and they brought in the $70 million Brock Osweiler. And they could be decent with Brian Hoyer.

All right. Finish this thing up for us, Mike. All right. Are you making a change? Are you going with this name I see on paper? No, I'm going with that name on paper. I didn't even have to write that name down. I wrote that in for Mike. My esteemed colleague knows my train of thought, can I interest you in 27 carries for 119 yards and two touchdowns? 27 carries.

That was, no, not really. That's not the way to interest me. No, I'm not interested in 27 carries. Those were very efficient. Jason and I pass. I like the player, but not interested in 20s. You lead off with, can I interest you in 27 carries? For a hundred and 19 yards. Okay. Well, yeah. Mr. Todd Gurley. Welcome to 4.4. How many people run 27 for 119 yards? There's always a handful of Andre Ellington's in the world. That's what, 4.4. 4.4.

It's not like he ran for eight yards of carry on 27 carries. Mark looks genuinely flabbergasted that we're not like in awe of this hypothetical. I am. You don't like 4.4? Say his name. Rex Burkhead. Deal with it. Rex Burkhead is going to take this world by storm. He will get an opportunity. The great. The great.

Evan Silva also agrees with me that Rex Burkhead will be something. Look, I think Rex Burkhead is actually a decent running back. I just can't fathom the lead off of can I interest you with 27 carries for 100 yards? Like, no, not really. No, it wasn't 100. It was 119. My apologies. You should. You should feel terrible. Oh, Rex Burkhead closing out the show. Hold on a second. I want to give you, I want to break this down for you because I thought this would happen. Let me remind you, 2011, this player.

109 attempts for 531 yards and one touchdown. 4.9 of carry. Toby Gerhardt. Oh. Very good player. Very good. Unless he's on the one yard line. Listen to this, 2013 for Minnesota. 36 for 283. That's 7.9 a carry for Toby Gerhardt. You can interest me in that. You can interest me in that. You can interest me in that.

All right, we better wrap this up before it gets out of control. Stay tuned for the show after the show. Go subscribe on YouTube and enjoy what is about to come. Or don't. I won't.
