Fantasy Draft Redo + Remember the Titans, Buy/Sell - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/14

Is there, that's a very ominous bell? Is there also a joyful bell? I think this should be an ominous bell. This is a terrible, terrible thing that has happened. Because Lev Bell is about to ruin someone's running back core. It's going to happen. I mean, look, I made a tradeoff for the last night of trying to, trying to capitalize on King and Drake's touchdown, just out of fear that.

You know, oh, he's struggling, you know, the Cardinals running back coach was the former Pittsburgh Steelers running back coach. And what if he signs? Like, it's just one example of like, if Lev Bell signed in Arizona, Kenyon Drake is just over. Just completely done. If Lev Bell signs in Arizona, he's going to be bad. Sure. But my point is, wherever he signs, he could just flat ruin somebody. Yes, you are. You are correct. Yeah, he should have been released a little earlier. It might have ended up in New York.

The flexibility of Levy on Bell in an offense. He's going to be added to a roster. Jason's absolutely right. And it will be better for Lev Bell wherever he goes because it's been atroche, whatever you said. And this is unbelievable. I mean, the Jets are almost like... What is happening? It's like a sitcom or something that you don't... They're not in on the joke and everyone else is. It...

The rumors started filtering out yesterday or the day before of the Jets are trying to trade Levi-on-Bel, and it was, man, who's possibly going to take on that contract? They're going to have to work something out where the Jets are willing to pay a lot of the contract. I mean, a lot of the same arguments we have when we were talking about David Johnson, even though the Cardinals were able to trade David Johnson for possibly the best wide receiver in football. But this is...

Just absurd. The dysfunction that is happening with the New York Jets that they just cut Levy on Bell. And it's so bizarre because Bell, Bell got what he wanted. Like there's, obviously there was stuff going on behind the scenes that we do not see. Arguments between him and Adam Gaze. There's, there has been the whispers of, uh, uh,

personality conflict since the signing happened, you know, right after it happened, it got leaked out. Adam Gaze did not want this to happen. And he finally released Levyon Bell. Bell gets what he wants. He gets his money. And now he gets to go play for somebody else who has more than zero wins. So let's make some predictions on Levy on Bell's potential destinations. I've got four teams. Man. I got four teams. Okay.

that I think are interesting. And I'm looking at a team that is maybe on the bubble of competition and could need help there, could need depth. Okay. Believe it or not, at the top of my list is Tampa Bay. Oh, they're on my list for sure. I know that they've done McCoy and they've done Four Nett. But.

Ronald Jones can't catch the ball and Kishon Vaughn's a rookie. And when it comes to trust in this window that they have, Tampa Bay is at the top of the list. The fact that they went after LaShawn McCoy and then grabbed Leonard Fournette, they're searching for Lev Bell. I don't know if they can afford them now with all the running backs on the roster. The Mount Rushmore of washed running backs potentially. Let me give you another team that's winning games, but their offense hasn't looked good and they lost a running back. Chicago Bears.

Okay. With their pass catching running back going down, they could use some offensive weapons, and they're in the hunt. That is a, that's a great point. Yeah, absolutely. People have whispered about New England. Yeah, that's kind of the go-to for any type of players available. I really don't, because I, with what James White brings to the offense, I don't think you need to bring in that personality. I will bring up two others. Philadelphia and Las Vegas.

Okay. Those would be too, Las Vegas because they just want all the past. They want all the past catchers. It's just something they're competing right now and it seems like, okay, this is something they could logically say puts us over the hump even though it's stupid. What we don't know about Lev is what's he going to be looking for in a contract? Because he's like the Jets owe him money. They still owe him guaranteed money. My dark horse here is one.

Because we don't know the status of Nick Chubb. Like there was the whispers that this injury that Chub had while he's on the IR, this might be like a six to eight week injury for Nick Chubb. I think the Cleveland Browns are a dark horse in this race for Lev Bell. Interesting. Interesting. There was some news this morning from Doug Peterson when asked about Love Bell.

because I guess some other people threw them into the mix. He says, I'm extremely comfortable with the guys we have. I think we found our three-down guy in Miles. So Miles Sanders managers can, yeah, yeah. There was some other news this morning, running back related. Yeah. Yeah, like not going to hit the bell for this. But Melvin Gordon charged with DUI late Tuesday night. They have the Patriots this week and potentially.

you know, a serious situation for Gordon in terms of discipline. He was also going what is registered as 25 to 39 miles over the speed limit. I don't know the laws in Denver. I can only speak to Arizona, but here that would count as criminal speeding, so that would be two very large strikes. And for fantasy football, moving aside from what he did, for fantasy football, we don't know.

if Melvin Gordon will be playing. If he is out this week, it will be a team decision. The NFL, the league, generally waits on these situations for all the legalities to play out and then a player receives a suspension. All right, but that, you know, Lindsay has been brought up a couple times as a cursory ad for waiver purposes. He needs to be added now. If he's just, if he made it through your waiver run, he should be picked up immediately.

All right, Kyle Allen medically cleared. He will start in week six. So that is the hope for McLaurin and Gibson and company. Yep. And a reminder, drop it like it's hot. Drop it like a hard. Check who your opponents have dropped in your fantasy league after waivers ran. Some people have had waivers running tomorrow on certain platforms. So kind of a message for both days. All right. Before we get into our...

Redue. Thank you, Mike. Thank you for the edit. Got to spice it up. All right. We are going to take a look. You know, we're five weeks into the season. We're going to take a look at the first round, maybe the second round as well, and just see how things would be different today. Like Jason said, it's kind of a rest of season rankings. If you look at, if you want a refresher, Christian McCaffrey went 101. This is how things played out to begin the year.

Sequin Barclay, Derek Henry, Clyde Edwards, Aller, Dalvin Cook, Michael Thomas, Ezekiel Elliott, Joe Mix, and Josh Jacobs, Alvin Camara went 10th, Devante Adams in the first round, and then Austin Echler. Yeah, there's one player here that I'm really curious. We're going to go in order, take, you know, basically each of one of us drafting. Now, we're not drafting teams. We're just drafting the next best player if we were up.

But there's one player I'm really curious where he's going to go. And we'll see that pretty early. Who is starting? Who's got first pick? Andy Drew, the first pick. It will go Andy, Mike, Jason. All right. All right. If not for the injury that recently occurred, this would be a more difficult decision. Alvin Camara is the pick. I'm going to take him the 101. Interesting. Zeke, Aaron Jones, Cook, Camara, all in contention for the 101 right here.

I will go with Camara. I know Michael Thomas has missed time that might inflate a little bit of what Cameras done. But this is Alvin Camara. This is the top three type of player. He's great. I was curious if the buy week would factor into your decision because the pick you just took will not be playing for that team in this first week. It's true. But I will go with Camara. I think it's the most guaranteed combination of both production and upside in a player right now. And again, it would depend a little bit on what you're looking for.

If you were drafting fresh, but to me, that is a, you're just locked and loaded with Alvin Camarry. You can't run the Saints' offense without him. Right. I would love to take Dalvin Cook here, but the fact that he's going to miss a game. It's interesting how, I'm taking this really serious. I'm trying to break down. Good. If I took a guy right now, I would have to pass on Dalvin Cook because I don't, I'm not buying into Mike Zimmer. It is, ooh, Alvin Cook, Mike, stop. Stop, Dalvin Cook.

I don't think he plays this week. I know for sure he's not playing in two weeks because you have the bye week. So that comes down to Ezekiel Elliott or Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones is past the by week. So you would have him, or you should have him, you know, every single week now through the remainder of the season. Oh, man. I would, if I was picking, I would probably take Zeke.

I think it's a great pick. It's just, I feels like I'm taking the safety of Zeke versus the, you are. I know. That's not bad. And I'm disappointed in myself of the upside of Aaron Jones. I feel like I'm doubting Aaron Jones yet again. The reason we're all in the mess of not having Aaron Jones on our teams, I'm doing it again. Well, look, I'm on the clock. I can rectify that by taking Aaron Jones, which I'm going to do. But the player that I would be considering here.

other than Aaron Jones has actually not been brought up yet, which is Derek Henry. Derek Henry has also passed his by. Winter is coming. It is. You know, he should be in consideration at the very top of these drafts. But I will take Aaron Jones. His receiving work means he's game script proof and he's just been outstanding. Okay. So we've got Camara Zeke, who has an Andy Dalton situation now where I think he'll be.

the focal point, but I'm not really upgrading or downgrading Zeke. I think efficiency, goal line opportunities could suffer if the offense doesn't move as well. I mean, we can give Andy Dalton credit, but not enough credit to say that they're a better offense with him than they would be with Dak. Aaron Jones at the three spot. Okay. So in consideration here, by the way, why don't I just share this? Because this is always interesting at various points of the year.
