Studio Return + Big Boy Questions, Sweat Issues - Fantasy Football Podcast

That also tells me he was their best running vet. And that's surprising because every single time that I watched you get the ball, it was eight. Yeah. It was like he just, he was, he was electric, but he only had 137 carries last year. So he's, you know. But Matt Buret is gone. Jerich McKinnan is back in theory. Rahim Most approved himself over the back half of the year to the point where, look, they made a Super Bowl run and he was the backbone. Right. Of that team. Those are situations for fantasy, at least for me, that I'm looking to.

to say, you know, there's the consensus, and then there's outliers and players that have the chance to emerge. And if you give Rahim Moster 200 carries in San Francisco, aren't you excited about that? Yeah, this is one of those situations. It pops up every single year. Do you take the player with the cost or do you take the value? Do you take the second player who looks like he could be in an equal competition with Rahim Moster talking about Kevin Coleman, who.

He was the featured guy for a while over the second half of the year. It really turned into the Rahim Mostert show except for the one playoff game. For me, this is a scenario where I'm taking the higher price guy. Often you'll hear us on the show, oh, I'll just take the value. Well, I'm trying to tell you, we don't just always take the value. Sometimes we'll pay up. I'll pay the premium. And if I'm going. And if I'm going in on San Francisco's running game, I will pay the premium.

I'm going to take the shot for Rahim Mosterd. Mosterd or Leonard Furnett right now. Fornett? As of right now, Fournett, but that's a house of cards that could come crumbling down any day. I have Mostert in that situation, but they're pretty closely ranked. They're close to each other. Thank you, Mike. Yeah.

Look, man, I've been out of the studio for a while. I gotta get some practice. Yeah, no, it's good, man. It's good. Oh, man. All right, the athletics, Jay Glazer believes Tayson Hill will be the guy for the Saints after Drew Brees retires. Stop it. Really? That's your response? Yes. Everyone says this. No, he's not. Why?

Why? Because they had their quarterback go down to injury last year. And you want to know who stepped in, not Tayson Hill. And then after Teddy leaves, you want to know what they did? They went and signed James Winston as a backup quarterback. Taysom, I mean, you don't need to carry three quarterbacks in the NFL if you've got your backup. I mean, Taysam Hill's not a quarterback. Well, I don't buy that logic entirely. I mean, they've talked about why that is.

I mean, Taysam Hill, they use him all over the field. They use them in special teams. They use him to block. They use him to catch the football. He's part of a design for the team now with Drew Brees in the offense. Yeah. And I just, I don't, and I believe that that is what his role is. You ever met Sean Payton? You ever listen to him talk? I think Sean Payton believes very, very firmly that he can make Taysam Hill a NFL starter.

That is his pet project. I don't disagree with you. Where I side with Jason is this organization, this professional NFL team heading into next year if this is Drew Brees' last year. Which, by the way, what are your odds on that? Because I got it about 80%. Yeah, I would say much higher than not. But as of right now, Taysam Hill is going to be 30 years old in August. And he will have thrown the ball in the NFL.

15 times. You're saying that's the future of my team. That's maybe, maybe it could happen. It would be an absolutely wild story, but I tend to side more with Jason that. It did also take two playoff, two separate playoff games where he threw a pass to get up to 15. Yes, I had to go and I counted him. It's 13 regular season passes. He's thrown it in the playoffs twice.

You're really going to turn your team over to that guy? I think it's a possibility. And so does Jay Glazer here. Jay Glazer has been in on it from the beginning. Most? Jay Glazer has stock in Taysom Hill. Most quarterbacks have not throwing the ball at all until they become quarterbacks and throw the ball. I mean, they're a lot. But they're not turning. They're fifth graders at that point. No, I'm saying they're not turning 31 before they get their first start in the NFL.

That is correct. And that's a fair point. Jamie Swinson's 26. He won't be under contract next year, but he will have experience in the system. And the team, you know, they're not stupid. They're going to give both. I mean, both guys could have an opportunity. Let me ask you this. Drew Brees gets injured week five. Who's the quarterback? It's probably James Winston. So I don't see why Tatham Hill would be their quarterback in the future. That's just what I'm saying. Yeah, I understand. I understand. But that same thing happened last year, too.

And they made Bridgewater. And then they gave Taysam Hill a bunch of money. Yeah, they did. And then signed Winston. Because you need more quarterbacks. You don't need three quarterbacks. You do when you play one quarterback all the time on your regular offense. If Taysam Hill gets hurt, you have to have, I mean, you got a different situation there. But hey, we'll find out. We will. That's the glorious thing about all these predictions. All right. Let's go ahead and, uh, oh.

There's a lot of pressure, guys. Before I hit the mailbag drop, I'll repeat what I said earlier. 11 days left. The Ultimate Draft Kit at Ultimate DraftCit.com. Me, me, me, me. Make sure you check it out. It's going to be beautiful. UDK. It's going to be spectacular. The app is upgraded. The charts are upgraded. There's new additions. It's fantastic. Yeah.

And we're going to have a football season, and it's going to be the greatest one ever. Mike, I can't wait any longer. I hope you're ready. Mailbag. I loved it. I loved it. I loved it so much more because when we're on Zoom, honestly, it doesn't line up. No, it lines up for me perfectly. Yeah, and it lines up for the end user. But just so you know, we're well aware. We hear Mike on Super Delay, and he just sounds stupid. Yes.

It's a really stupid bit to start. I disagree. It's spectacular. All right. If you have a question for the show, head to the website the fancy footballers.com. Click the submit a question button. You can also dial the voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB. We do have a voicemail question we'll start with. And it's a young fantasy fan that has a question for us. Excellent. All right. Hi. My question is.

In a standard scoring non-PPR league, who would you choose as the second overall pick in the first round? Thank you. Bye. Second overall pick, Christian McCaffrey? I'd like him to drop the number two. If he's there, I will take Christian McCaffrey. But non-PPR, that being thrown out there, I know Sequin Zeke, those are both players in that category. Does it...

go away from Saquan if it's fully non-PPR. Are you looking at Zeke in that situation or is it Saquan for you? Jay, who do you got? You got Seek or Zeke is your number two guy? I have Zeke, so. I have Zeke as well. I mean, Seekwan is such a PPR machine. He's always bumped up there. And if you look at, okay, touchdowns are really valuable in standard scoring leagues. Who's got the better offense? Who's going to have the more opportunities? Now, Sequin could end up with more touchdowns than Zeke. It's happened before.

I would put the betting odds on Zeke to have more chances near the goal line. I'm trying to find out my point total. So I got, I got, I have Barclay by about 15 points. You know, PPR. In a 9 PPR, yeah. All right. Thanks for the question. Here's a question from Ian in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Sheboygan. Just you know, Jay, that's not a bonjour. Sheboygan. I was really itching for a lot of shot. The girl you love to get. Sheboygan. Yes, Jason. I'm right.

That was a deep cut, man. I wasn't sure if anyone would get it. I mean, what else was there to say there? I was hoping. Also, I need to go wash my hands after. Yeah, I was going to say. This is a problem. Did you just high-five each other? We did. Okay. Sanitation. Clean up on. Judge DiMati, can you get sanitizer over here? Let's leave this here. This is why we've stayed. We're on like 60-day quarantines each, though. I think you guys are okay.

I don't know. I don't trust this character. Mike, if you don't have it, you can't give it to me. And if I can't, if I don't have it, I can't give it to you. But I am positive. We just created it right there. Oh, with the high five. Yeah, the high five creates it. Don't worry. We're sanitizing. My goodness. I'm staying over here. Look, man, this is a new world. This is a new Wild West. Isn't it weird, though? I mean, just, isn't it funny how science can get thrown out the window there and it's just like. Yes.

Feels completely weird. I watch, I can't watch TV shows anymore. If I watch something that was filmed and there are now groups of people super close together. What are you doing? I'm like, oh, come on. That's very scary. You wouldn't do that. This is totally unrealistic. I saw a picture of our live tour from last summer. I'm like, get away from each other. Move! I can't wait for the world to come back. That wouldn't be so bad. Yeah.

All right, Ian in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, what are your thoughts on eliminating the tight-in position completely and going with two flex spots instead? Do you feel the position is weak enough to consider a change like that? I am completely fine with it. I wouldn't say that I would fight for it because you would still have tight ends in that situation. A couple. A couple.

the flex or into, you know, you can even put them in, you know, just a wide receiver, tight-in flex, something like that, past catchers. So, yeah, you'd have your Mark Andrews and Kelsey's and Kittles and, you know, a handful of people that are involved. And what that does is it makes it a little bit more of a fair playing field. And fair there is in air quotes because you have the choice to draft.

Kelsey or Kittle or Andrews early and sacrifice elsewhere. I like the strategy. I don't have any reason to change it, but I actually do think that it's a fine change if people have a problem with the tight ends. Yeah, I wouldn't be pulling the tight end out. I think it's a great draft dynamic. I think it's a fun thing to try to identify the Jonu Smiths or the Mike Gisikis of the world or the Kittles of years past, Mark Andrews last year. That's just a strategic element that I don't see the need to remove because the same

kind of logic would apply just, you know, seven flex spots. I mean, just start whatever position you want. It's like adding a super flex. It's adding another quarterback where you're trying to make this position inside the overall team, like create more of a value or make it more part of everything. So I'm not removing tight end. I like the idea of deciding how I'm going to construct my team. Am I going to just?

punt that position and try and overpower with my running backs or my wide receivers, or do I stabilize that and take the hit somewhere else? It's all part of the game of balancing how the points are coming in. All right. This next question is a keeper question from Ryan in New Jersey. Should I keep Delvin Cook in the late second round or Lamar Jackson in the 16th round? Oh, my goodness. Thanks, guys. Big fan of the show. Appreciate the question, although it is...

Excruciating because Dalvin Cook in the second, obviously. That's a value. It's a value. It's not the value that Lamar Jackson for free is. Yeah, this isn't a hard one for me. I'll be taking Lamar. I'm taking Lamar Jackson. If I can get Lamar Jackson in the 16th round, I'll draft someone good in the second. And here's a deal. They won't be as good as Dalman Cook.

but the gap between who I'm getting in the second round to Dalvin Cook versus who I'm getting in the 16th round or, you know, I would draft a quarterback in the Ted to, to Lamar Jackson. Yeah, I'll sign me up for, and how fun is it to have Lamar Jackson? Like, I don't get Lamar Jackson. A lot of our listeners don't get the opportunity because they're not going to draft an early quarterback. You're not, and you get him. So that's, I actually, I love being put in the position where I can pick him in a question.

Yeah, I think that's Jay saying. Like what you're saying. Like we just don't get to do it. And it almost comes across as though because we're late round quarterback advocates, it's like we don't want a great quarterback or we don't want the best quarterbacks. I mean, I would like Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes to be my quarterback. I will take Lamar Jackson. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

Harris in Moses Lake Washington says with Robbie Anderson gone and a wasteland at tight end in New York, well, hold your horses there. Hold your horses. Shouldn't this make James and Crowder a huge value? What is his ceiling and floor with no real veteran competition? Well, I agree Crowder could be a value. Yes, I do agree with that. But I disagree with the contention that it is a wasteland at tight end in New York. In fact, I think Chris Herndon has a...
