Tough Calls, Dynasty Values + Ways to Determine Draft Order - Fantasy Football Podcast for 7/3

Uh, uh, you who says, or I mean, Instagram question says, uh, do you prefer six or four point passing touchdowns and why? Six, um, because I think that that's what, you know, quarterbacks are very important and, uh, everybody else gets six for a touchdown and it just feels a little bit more balanced. Um, but it doesn't really make that big a difference because it's, you know, it does the same thing for the whole position. So it's, I think, I think that.

six point versus four point gets overblown sometimes. It's the biggest difference. It's the running quarterbacks in the four point that distorts them even more. It's not a huge difference, but when quarterbacks, and now we're seeing it more and more, they start carrying the ball into the end zone and you get two extra points. To me, that feels bad. What are you talking about? My quarterback, my quarterback threw a touchdown.

How is that not just as valuable for their team? Why should I only get four points and your quarterback ran one in and they got six? I won't even let either of you be on the side of four point. I would not permit that because it's another avenue in which, like, you're already frustrated that rushing quarterbacks get a point per 10 rushing. Yes. Versus giving them point per 25. Well, you know, when you have six point touchdown leagues, you give.

touchdown centered Matt Ryan's a chance at competing in fantasy. A touchdown is a touchdown. Yeah, and you give them a shot, like somebody that does throw the ball a lot more, at least can compete week to week. So I think that's why we all prefer it. Yeah. All right, Twitter question from Joseph. Can Mike pick a random tattoo of his and explain it? We are also on YouTube. So Mike, that might be better for the YouTubers. Which random tattoo?

Which one, which tattoo that you guys can see? Might be right there. Okay. Music? What is that? It's just, that's a music is my weapon. Oh, all right. I mean that. Oh, and that was with the soldier. That one's pretty, that one's pretty self-explanatory. What does it mean? It means. It means that I'm a musician and that my weapon of choice is music. Is your words or is your rifts? Is music? But, yeah, I mean, I don't know. I've a lot of, none of my tattoos. I see a spaceship? How many tattoos total would you say,

are on your two arms because I can't tell where like one's a new one or that's you you reach a point in your tattoo career where you people you don't say well how many tattoos do you have you just say I have tattoos right and that's where you're at yeah how many tattoos my arms are covered my ribs are covered yeah I guess Jason was just talking about oh the spaceship but that's a hard one to get on camera but that was um the my right arm is all traditional

That's the art style of the tattoos. And a very, very common traditional tattoo is a sailboat, or not, but like a, almost like a pirate ship, old fashion. It's really, really common. And I like them a lot. But I was like, that's not who I am. Like, so what mode of transportation? The sailboat of the stars. Yeah. And it was like, oh, like, I thought it was a neat idea for personalize it to me. It's the ship idea, except it is more.

For my personality, I'm a science and space enthusiast. So I went with the old school space shuttle. Nice. Naji Harris question from. Oh, even better. On Instagram. You have any Naji tattoos yet? Not yet. All right. I got a space saved. Oh, no. What's the highest you're comfortable with drafting Naji Harris in a redraft league? Second round. Oh, yeah. Would you take him in the second round? Yeah, I would easily take him in the high second round. Yeah, the second round is the answer.

for me. When I look at the guys going in the first, I would take them over him. The question is, what wide receivers would you take over Najee? Metcalf? I would take, yeah, I would take Metcalfe. I would take Ridley. I would probably take Michael Thomas. And obviously the guys above that digs and Hopkins. I am higher on Michael Thomas, I think, than.

you two are i believe i thought i was the highest i mean i could be wrong but i believe in him i i think and i i still have tason hill as the quarterback i think he only has room to go up if james winston becomes the starter but he's update i am in fact the highest on michael thomas okay what are our rankings has been the most vocal though six and seven six and seven i i speak with my actions and my ranking where do i have twelve yeah you you hate so you have six i have them seven yeah not just me i mean i i i

I don't know the exact league format, but I saw he went in the fifth round of some sort of dynasty draft. The fifth round? Of a dynasty draft. What are we doing people? It's probably a super flex, but still, fifth round. Okay. I have a new value pick for our next value show. But, yeah, I would take Najee over Michael Thomas. I would take Najee over Michael Thomas. Calvin Ridley was the only wide receiver. Jason mentioned that I would probably take over Najee.

Twitter is kind of a follow-up. It comes in with the title of Winston MVP season. So if you want to know where the opinion is. But read the Twitter handle. Yeah, at Breeze the Goat 9. Oh, man. This guy loves the saints. Says what makes you think Tayson Hill will start.

Over James for the Saints. This is a great follow-up question. Talk about timely here. This is very funny because I'm projecting James Winston to be the starter. You two both have Taysam Hill. And I can easily explain why you're projecting Taysam Hill. Yeah, the reason is because last year, and you're a Saints fan, you might remember this. Drew Brees got injured. And on that roster was James Winston and Tassum Hill. And they said,

which guy should be my starting quarterback? And they went with Taysom Hill. That's why I believe they will go with Taysom Hill again. And, you know, they might change. They might come into an offseason and say, well, I didn't like what we did and I didn't like our offense. And James Winston has LASIC and he's so much better now. But that is my thought, is that we usually when we see a team's actions versus whatever is said by the beat reporters, actions.

As Mike just said, they speak louder than words. That's right. And their actions in pretty much an identical situation already picked him. So that's why I'm going with Taysom. Yeah, I think it's getting closer to a toss-up for me on where I think they'll end up. Taysom certainly, I think, impressed in his opportunity. But I don't know. I believe he was three and one. I don't know if they'll view it as the best ceiling for their team. That's kind of where I'm.

Curious? I think the... I'm just vetting it, but that loss... He lost to the Eagles. Mm-hmm. That's a bad loss on your record. Well, that was the first, I believe that was the first Eagles game with Jalen Hertz. So it was kind of a surprise. I think they were... All right, that's very shocked. Surprised. Yeah. Thank you. Nate Jensen, 85. Is Joe Mixing a buy or sell in full PBR Dynasty?

A buy. He's 24 years old, four-year, $48 million extension before last season. I'm with you on that. I would say he's on the buy side. Yeah. And I am not a Joe Mixon truther or backer. But his opportunity this year is absolutely tremendous. You have Somaget P. Rine behind him. And then...

I think it was Chris Evans, the kid they drafted in like the fifth round. This is Joe Mixon's backfield to be not a Christian McCaffrey level, 80, 90% of the snaps, but for the most part, a three-down skill set, three-down type of a workhorse running back. How successful will that be? That remains to be seen, because we've seen Mixen be incredible. We've seen Mixen be inefficient.

But I think that this offense is going to be solid. So a three-down running back inside of a solid offense, that's what you want for fantasy football. Instagram question from Tyler says, yo, yo, yo, ballers. Yo, yo. Two-part question. Oh, cheater. How do you decide on tier-based rankings and who fits into which tier? And do you group positions together in tiers or keep them separate?

So we sit down the three of us together and we go through the actual rankings and decide exactly where we believe each tier drop is. So that's kind of how it is a manual process that we do by hand. And then we do have it set up to adjust for scoring format. So if you then go in, it will factor in how you score these players. And then as far as how you use them, one.

You know, tier three wide receiver does not necessarily mean that they are better than a tier four running back or vice versa. It's just about, and this is the great part about tier base drafting, is that you, you know, it's almost like you should take the numbers out. These are just groups of players, and you can see how many are left at each position that are about the same quality that you're going to get. And it's actually an indicator of what position.

You should draft when you're on the clock. So people are always like, well, you know, I, how do you cycle all these in and know which position? This is how you decide what position to draft. You look at how many people are left in the tiers that you like and say, oh, there's plenty of this tier of quarterback left. I don't need that yet. I can still wait. I can grab the last, you know, oh man, running back in wide receiver. There's really only one or two of wide receivers for running makes. Let me grab the last guy.

of the tier that I like in Position X. And those are available in the Ultimate Draft Kit. That's right. That's right. Picking a question here. Instagram question from Zonda Panda. Zanda Panda. Around what age would a wide receiver in Dynasty be considered end of career? Well, I mean, it depends on, why are you laughing?

I didn't hear any of the question because all I could think of was Zonda Ponda. I don't know. I don't know what's wrong with me, guys. That's a good band name. Zonda Ponda? Yeah. Yeah. They'd be definitely an EDM for sure. Probably one of the mask wears. Let's hear this question. Have you guys seen? Have you guys seen Zonda Ponda? Zonda. Or it could be a snack. Zonda Ponda? Yeah. A snack? Like a dessert type of a snack. Like a dessert type of a snack.

Like a pound cake? Do you have a slice of a zondiponda? I was like a hostess. A hostess would make a zondaponda. Okay. I'd eat one of those. For sure. Let's hear that question. Yeah. What age do you consider the end of a career to be in Dynasty for a wide receiver? For a wide receiver for me, it's 31. And that's a generic, generic answer that does not apply to everyone. Like Adam Thielen right now? Is this career over?

No, I think he's got one good year left. So you take it on a case-by-case basis, right? I don't ever just assign. I say 31 is like the generic number. Sure. But I don't ever assign that to someone and it's a death now. I mean, you're pretty much perfect. So then I know. You know, Larry Fitzgerald played way later. Julio looks to be great. You know, I'm fine going over that or below that number. But generally speaking, wide receiver as a whole

31 is the age where it precipitously drops off. Great vocabulary. Zond upon. Robbie Anderson question from Deport 11. Why is Robbie Anderson's ADP so low? That's a great question. I believe. Here's the thing. I really, really like Robbie Anderson and Curtis Samuel this year. Like I'm, I'm, are you remembering that Curtis is not on the team anymore?

Yes, but that's why. I mean, their, their, his leaving has, I feel like, opened up a great path forward for both of those guys. And I think they're both screaming values right now. Okay. Makes my dynasty team feel better. I mean, Robbie Anderson should be, he should have a thousand yards easily again. How many touchdowns will he get being that really short, you know, close to the line of scrimmage for his average depth of target?

That remains to be seen because you can't even DJ Moore with his huge A-DOT couldn't get touchdowns last year. Have you ever seen DJ Moore and Zondaponda together? No. I think DJ more open for him. Lella. Oh, okay. Like DJ Moore's on the ones and the twos. Zondapana has just got a big panda helmet. This train is jumping the shark. Look, here's what I think about. Jumping the shark station train. Robbie Anderson. Robbie Anderson.

has proven on the NFL field he can be a downfield home run, awesome electric wide receiver. Last year he proved he can be a possession guy, 136 targets. I believe they have an upgraded quarterback. The team believes they have an upgraded quarterback. Now, that's not saying. I'm not sure they do. Well, they literally paid money and capital to make the move. So I'm positive they believe they. They hope. They are willing to pay.
