The TRUTH About Fantasy WRs in 2020, Part 2 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4

uh the surgery that he had to have on his arm so perhaps a another off season well does he come back bigger bin or just big bin because that's enough i think that hurts him too he doesn't seem like he's in the best shape you know he's certainly not the plant man right no so uh but he's he's a meat man yeah yeah yeah meet me only what was that sound drop hey where's the meat

Oh, my goodness. Where's the bee? That was really fast. Well done. Is that Al? Has to be. Man, got the meat drops on speed dial. Very nice. Big bovine over here. Look, that's why I like Deontay more than Chase Claypools because I believe that the short and intermediate routes are going to be the.

where he's able to continue throwing the ball. Let's go to another potential edition by subtraction group of three wide receivers that all finished in the top 25, but finished at 22, 24, and 25. DJ Moore, Robbie Anderson, and Curtis Samuel is a free agent. Thank goodness. He will not be back with Carolina. I'll be shocked if he is. Go make a lot of money, Curtis. Curtis will be gone. Now, DJ Moore, Robbie Anderson together. I hear the lions are desperately needing wide receivers.

Are we for Curtis? Yes, just go somewhere. I think Washington. Great. All right. DJ Moore finished at 22, consistency rank of 28. Let me check Robbie. Robbie was 24th, consistency rank of 19th. And then Curtis Samuel ended up 25th with a consistency of 28. Now, who would you rather have had between those three players? Well, if you're just talking about the whole season. Is it Robbie?

The whole season. No, the whole season I would take DJ Moore. But Curtis Samuel, if you're looking at the way he produced, those first six weeks, including, I mean, he missed a week, but those first five games where he was active. Nothing, honey. They were not utilizing him. There was all this off-season chatter of they're mixing things up. They're going to be creative about how they get Curtis Samuel the ball. Oh, and then early in the season after two weeks.

CMC goes down and, oh, they're going to get Curtis Samuel 10 carries a game. Yeah, and they didn't. But then they did. Curtis Samuel was sensational. I don't have the, I can. Wide receiver 10 in total points from week seven on. So there you go. Yeah, yeah. So if you knew who it was going to be for the second half, you would you would take Curtis Samuel. But that was an impossible. Absolutely. When you combine more and Rob me Anderson and then.

The Teddy Bridgewater effect, it was impossible to start Curtis Samuel down the stretch, but you should have. It was very similar to Marquis Hollywood Brown. When you start so poorly, it takes. It's always pretend when they're getting better. It takes too long. You need them to prove it for too long before you're willing to go back in on a player. And, you know, because sometimes it's not real. Sometimes they just show up twice and then you get burned on that third game. But I do think that this is an offense I'm interested in. I like the coaching staff.

The office is going to be better with CMC. And I'm most excited to see what they do with quarterback. Because Teddy Bridgewater, they hate Teddy. I'm sorry. I mean, they love the guy as a man, but they are trying everything they can. They've been involved with, you know, they were offering up. Same with Alex Smith. They love Alex Smith, but yeah, let's find somebody other than Alex Smith. Absolutely. And so if there are only two guys here and the potential of a quarterback improvement, and Carolina has been high on all the Vegas odds of landing some of these.

bigger names, you know, I wouldn't rule them out for Deshawn Watson because of that number eight pick. What if it turns out to be Derek Carr? I don't think they would go from Teddy to Derek Carr. The Raiders are... That makes perfect sense. The Raiders are promising there is a... Or, you know, the Whispers are... It's a hot market. Hot market for Derek Carr. I think that's where Watson ends up. Panthers? No. Oh, with the Raiders? Yeah. Yeah. I want to take...

You know, you talk about split pies in the situation. I'm going to, I want some humble, I'm going to take some humble pie. Okay. Now, look, I didn't produce with one of my my guys, somebody that finished at ninth with the consistency of 44 and discombobulate the entire economy of fantasy football. What I did was I gave you mediocrity from the beginning, through the middle, and then all the way into the end. Consistency. Very smooth. With, uh, Pooper Cup. And, uh, that's 27th at 27th and finish.

30th inconsistency, despite being drafted as the wide receiver 15, all the way to the point of his quarterback now being jettisoned from the team. And it was an extremely disappointing year for Cooper Cup. Now, 92 receptions? That's great. That's great. Yes. He had 94 the year prior. He was the wide receiver for the year prior. You tell me he's got 92 receptions from Jared Goff, and I tell you he's got at least 12 touchdowns.

Because that means he's getting the ball around the goal line, right? How many? Doesn't he got 12? He's got 12 minus most all of those. Three touchdown. Three touchdown. That was the story of his season, wasn't it? No touchdown. Yeah, I mean, that's really all it was, was the inability to get the ball into the pay dirt, and that's fantasy gold. So, you know, the truth for Cooper Cup is that he was. The gold's in the dirt. Gold's in the dirt, baby. I mean, that's where you mine it, right?

It makes sense. Yeah, you mine the dirt. You mine the earth. How do you find gold? I think you mine, you dig for gold, right? What am I digging in, guys? Now, are you visualizing that you're just like, when you dig, eventually you hit a solid rock of gold? That's how I wanted to happen. All right. I mean, that would be nicer. I hope it's like two feet down.

And it's just a block. Huge block. And it's a brick of gold. I would like, yes, I would like it to be a perfect ingot. Just complete. It's good use of that word ingot. Not a lot of chances to do that. Very difficult to lift. And I want to, if I throw my back out, so be it. But I would like to find that two feet down into my backyard. Okay. I want to bring up another player as we close things down here. I don't want them forgotten.

because he actually had the consistency rank of 10 overall. But again, a really rough beginning of the year. 32 was Chris Godwin. Now, he was drafted as the wide receiver 6, but he finished as the consistency rank of 10. We said from the whole beginning that these two guys were probably not delivering on ADP, so we were staying away. But a consistency of 10 on a wide receiver 6 draft price, 58% good games, it was just a very good second half of the year for him. It was.

But not expect it, not to expectations. I mean, injuries really derailed the season for Chris Godwin. But the positive spin, like you said, very consistent. He's a good wide receiver. He is an excellent player. He's going to get some money. It might be from the bucks. It might be from somewhere else. But it will be a much better season next year for Chris Godwin. Any other wide receivers you want to bring up? You've got, uh,

You got people that. Julio finished a 53, but 14th inconsistency. I was going to say, guys, you don't want to forget, and we won't, but Julio still has it. Michael Thomas had a rough go due to injuries, and he'll be back. He'll be strong. So you don't want to forget about those guys. This isn't the last show before draft. I have not. Yeah, Sean Payton, we want, we want James back. Okay. We'll see. Keep your options open. Still no update from Breeze.

No, he's got to, come on. Don't hold your team hostage. Yeah, just let him know. It's fine either way. You know, no, it's not fine either way. Either way, Jason, you don't want him to hold the team hostage. Drew Breez coming back is holding the team hostage. Now, let me, let me ask you this is, um, you don't want him back, right? No, that's Mike's point. Well, unless you're like, maybe you're a Falcons fan. Then you, you do. You're like, oh, yeah, Drew Breed should come back.

It's funny because it's like the bad Breeze bird in the hand or the Winston Hill free agent in the bush. I mean, what's better for Michael Thomas? The team is better next year with Drew Breeze. I do believe that than whatever their alternative is. But I don't think they're good enough to win a Super Bowl. I don't think Drew Breeze can, when the team happens to get down, could just.

bring him back. He can run a very successful high win percentage team over the course of 16 games. But when you've got to beat the best. Pennington? Chad Pennington? Yeah. From the Jets? Yeah. Drew Bruce has to go Chad Pennington style. Well, it's just called Big Bovine style. I mean, Big Ben. That's what he did. He just, the offense turned into just dink and dunk. Yeah. When your arm goes, nootly. I mean, it's too bad. But for fantasy. Walk away, Drew.

For fantasy, we can all dream of James Winston and those interceptions. Yes. Oh, they're so good for fantasy. All right. Anybody else you guys want to bring up or is that going to wrap up today's? I'm sleepy. Let's close it up. Michael Thomas, just for the record, I just say it out loud as we close the show. Finished as the wide receiver 98 in total fantasy points. Whoopsies. And not close to, now he was drafted as wide receiver one in case you were curious. He did not return draft day value.
