Fantasy Football - The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Coaching Crazyness, Divisional Recap - Podcast for 1/20

go to an MVP level again, and I don't think you can do it with the personnel that they have and the head coach and offensive system. Like if I was coaching Baltimore today for next year, I think the highest odds of an offensive coordinator, they'd come in and they'd run Derek Henry all the time. That's what you'd do. Because Lamar's been hurt. He's not going to run the same way at his age now. He's going to be 29. He's going to be 30. You can't run them like you used to. He ran for 349 yards this year. He only missed four games. That's a headline to me.

in terms of your stability. What's his consistency grade on the website? Do you want to look that up for a second? He's a B? Yeah. I would love to see him have a superstar tight end again the way that he played with. Well, they have unfortunately locked up all of their tight end money. Well, no, no, no. I would like them to draft Mendoza and I would like them to trade Lamar for that number one pick and unite him with Brock Bowers. I mean, those rumors. No, those are, that's in the rumor meal. The rumor mill has been talking about. There's no way. It took me one second to remember that that was an intentional miss speaking of rumor mill. Yeah. People are talking with the 101. Jason's been talking with his friends. No. You guys haven't seen that. That is not, I am not creating this out of thin air. You're creating out. I don't know who you follow. I mean, it, it makes sense as a rumor. As a rumor, it makes sense because you're saying, okay, if you are.

If you're the Raiders, would you rather draft Mendoza? Of course. But if you're the team that has, I mean, right now, Andy, you were saying all season, like you felt like they're getting near the end with Lamar. They're kind of frustrated. Obviously, they fire the head coach. The expectations were high. If you could trade a 29-year-old that you're frustrated with and maybe a little burned out on for the number one overall pick if you believe in Mendoza. I don't think I was talking about that all season, but I brought up the fact that it was. It was surfaced by others that this is the Cam Newton age where the running cliff happened. And you might not have the same dude anymore. So, you know, I don't know what Las Vegas is going to do. They're going to draft Mendoza. I think they just tried to get, you know, an experienced veteran in Gino and it didn't work. And I feel like the decision was made between Lamar and Harbaugh, and they chose to let go of Harbaugh.

That's fair. To double down. That is that is fair. C.J. Stroud, 21 on the list, 24 inconsistency. Brock Purdy, 23 on the list. Seven inconsistency. Brock Purdy didn't have a long year in terms of games played. But when he played, he was very good. He's going to be interesting next year. His sample is not gigantic, but we've seen, and at least I think we've seen enough Brock Purdy of like that he's a good quarterback. And he is one of the guys that. you know, is not the super scramblers. That can still give us good fantasy value. Having said that, you have, it's all the other stuff around Brock Purdy, that will be the issue. Because when he's with George Kittle, Brock Party dominates. And he will probably not be with Kittle next year. Joe Burrow at 29 and 17 in consistency. Seven in the second half.

great end to the season, everything you hope to see from Burrow, Chase Brown, Jamar Chase, T. Higgins. The Joe Burroughs story is the, you open the book, it's the same story. It's always the same story. If everybody stays healthy. I love that story. And they kept their head coach, right? You don't have that very good. Oh, I'm loving the story so far. Yeah, but there's missing pages every year. No twists. There's no pages. Don't enmite me. Chapter 3 through 12. We're missing. We got to, we opened the book again, chapter 13. It was pretty good through chapter 18. And then they didn't make the playoffs. There was no epilogue to read. I mean, it is great. It is the perfect type for Mike. Right. I mean, there's no team. Yeah.

that better defines Mike Wright's fantasy philosophy than Joe Burrow, T. Higgins, and that team. Yep. Give me players who I know. Christian McCaffrey. I know they're good. They just need to get healthy. Guys get hurt, but I want players that I know that they're good. Ken Walker always hurt. McCaffrey always hurt. I mean, this is, we know the secret now. Who can we find? Jaden Daniels, you've got to be in on Jaden. Brother, have you seen my card collection lately? Jaden. It's all Jaden. Jackson Dart. Yeah. High highly volatile guys because of injury. Okay. Jayden Daniels is the last name worth talking about. A little surprising. He had 0% good games and you go, well, he was injured this year, but he played enough games to where you... He had an okay game against Chicago. Sure, but I'm saying by our truth metrics, zero great games. Sure. You know, 22 points was his highest score of the year. That's not what we saw from rookie Jaden Daniel. It was like it was a...

It's better on my emotions to just throw the year in the garbage can. And I think that's what you should do. Because you have week one, you go, oh, he's the quarterback 14. He scored 20 points. Like 20 points from your quarterback. That's fantastic. Even if it's not. Everybody's healthy in week one. So that's easier to finish lower, right? But the point is 20 points, 19.7 against Green Bay, which you got to go in the time machine and be a week two when we were watching Green Bay. It was. Oh, that might be the best defense in football. Yep. And then he got hurt. So my philosophy with Jane Daniels is you throw it totally in the garbage. You will have no Cliff Kingsbury. That, okay, that is a fair variable. Who did they brought? They brought in, was it Kafka or Blow? Blow, not Kafka. Yeah, David Blow. Blow. Yes, that's good. Is sunlight lower in D.C.?

Probably. I don't really know anything about the eastern half of the United States. I don't either. I want to call it a Coliseum because of how it looks. Stadium? Yeah. No, I want to call it. The rendering because, yeah, the renderings are. Oh, no. Is it awesome? It looks so awesome. For DC, it looks like a, it looks like a DC monument. Are they going to rename? I don't know. I think there's a super strong push to rename the team. Because they got new ownership. Just rename them every five years. Fine. I don't think people are like, the commanders, I think people are just, whatever. The commanders was not an inspiring choice. We tried to help. We went manders. Yeah, but, you know, like salamanders. They're the, they're the commanders now. I don't know. They will hold 70,000 people with a translucent roof. Oh, that's not good for. Team, team, team. For vampires. Oh, okay. Oh, that I got you. This is the David Blas. I'm trying to protect this man. It sounds like the 60 Minamara. We're going to say, we're going to say goodbye.

And then we're going to come back and do another show on Thursday talking the top 10 running backs. I wonder who's in that list, guys. Any other tantrums we want to have. Take care. Goodbye.
