being the number one tight end to possibly the number one scoring non-quarterback. Because Travis Kelsey frequently, if we do the experiment, he would have been the wide receiver, seven. You give him one and a half per reception, and he easily jumps to being the number one wide receiver. It's ironic. At a position where you just play one player, though. But there's so few. So this is very specific information, right? You're basically, to me, in a dynasty startup,

I would be interested in Mark Andrews. I would be interested in George Kittle to pay the premium. You would pay. George Kittle is the best option. Kittle in this format is probably a back of the first. He's at least a second round pick. He's the best tight end in this format. Yeah, if you wanted. Might be the best player. If you wanted one of those two guys and you want to pay up, fine, go do it outside of those two guys. Andrews is not in that category for me. He is for me. Because he's a, he's more touchdown dependent. It's very low.

PPR compared to... Yeah, I think he'll just continue to get more and more involved. Hayden Hurst gone. That's projecting forward. But I'm just saying they're young and involved, you know, whereas Travis Kelsey is like, okay, he's probably the one at a tight end this year. But how many years left does Travis Kelsey really have? And if there's a dynasty startup? Yeah, and you're not betting. I mean, look, betting on tight ends that haven't done it. That's not a fun bet. I mean, some hit, some don't.

You're going to pay a premium for Noah Fant? You're going to pay a premium for Mike Gassicki? I'm not. I'm not going to pay a premium for those guys. What about Q? No, Jerry, he's old. I know. I know. I just wanted to say. Oh. That's it. No, I'll, here's what I'll do. I'll sign a relatively under the radar, Jonah Smith, have him explode, and then I'll be happy. That's fair. Not physically explode. I hope not. I would be very unhappy. Okay. All right. My tight end just exploded. That'd be bad.

You love Jono this year, though. I like him. I mean, I guess he's going to end up being attached to me because he's my number seven tied in. I like him too. I mean, that's love for Jonah. Yeah. Number seven. I think he could be good. But you love him. I love him. You want him to score your touchdowns. All right. Danny in Massachusetts. Are there any players you treat differently in leagues that give bonus points for 100 yards, long touchdowns, etc.?

Sure, sure. I mean, Julio. I mean, Julio is a player that is a premium in bonus points for 100-yard games. You might even look at players like T.Y. Hilden or other ones that. We play, our League of Record actually does give a two-point bonus for 40-yard touchdowns. So guys like Tyreek or Deshaun Jackson. Hollywood. Hollywood. They can put up monstrous plays. I have never once.

And maybe you guys do. This is great insider information against my league mates. I have never once ever thought about that scoring aspect when making a draft pick ever a single time in the whatever 15 years I've been in that league. The 100 yards makes a much bigger difference to me. Yeah, it's more predictable. Yeah. And there are wide receivers that are touchdown dependent and there are ones that are heavy yardage guys. Julio is.

Quite simply annoying and predicting touchdowns. But if you get a bonus for 100-yard games, that he makes, he's probably my number one. There you go. All right. Paul in Deary Ireland. Oh, man. Oh, Paul. Now, if I, let me just say this before I ask the question. The way you just reacted to Ireland compared to the way you reacted to the United Kingdom earlier. Well, Ireland is in the United Kingdom. That's true. That's a strong point. So there you go.

But why so particular about Ireland? I just love specifics. When you say the UK, I'm just like, that could be Canada. Yeah. Oh, this better mental picture. Part of it. Exactly. All right. In my dynasty startup draft, I ended up drafting both Melvin Gordon and Philip Lindsay. Gross. Would you keep both or try to trade one away? I would try to trade the one named Philip away.

That's what I would be trying to do. Who's buying Philip Lindsay right now? This man bought him in a dynasty. But there's a difference. You end up drafting, but in a dynasty startup, everybody is drafted. At some point, maybe he drafted. If there's ever a time to sell him in a dynasty, it's now because you don't have any of the bad, I mean, just point to something in the past. It's going to be better than something in the future. I would hold on to both these guys and have the handcuff. I would hold them.

I don't want. Because of what you would get for Philip? Exactly. And you're playing Dynasty. I'm rolling the dice that Philip Lindsay ends up on a different team next year. I guess if you can get nothing, you might as well have to handcuff for your guy. I really think you'll get nothing. That's a strong point. Mike in Hopkins, Michigan. That's not a bonjour. It's not. But it is in Hopkins. DeAndre, Michigan.

With Jason Witten gone. Oh, is this from you, Brooks? No, sir. With Jason Witten gone and a premier quarterback under center for Dallas, why is Blake Jarwin so low in the ranking? It's a great question. I ask myself all the time. Because he's lower for me. Of course he's lower. Because can I remind people Jason Witten's already missed an entire season? Just for those that aren't aware that are waiting for the Blake Jarwin explosion?

Like I know it takes a while for tight ends and he was much younger at the time. I think he was a rookie. He was second year, I believe. He might have been a rookie. He was a rookie. You're talking about 2017? I'm just saying there's a year where he was entirely, where Witten was already gone. 2018 was when Witten was gone. Yeah, it was Blake Darwin's second year. So we've been here before. Now, Jarwin was better last year. But it is a far cry to jump from 35, 40 receptions to the.

you know, six, seven hundred yards, Jason Witton level of involvement in the office. I have. That's why he is lower. I have Blake Jarwin ahead of Austin Hooper and Hayden Hurst. Yeah, I love it. I don't, but I love it. Yes. No, then. Mike's the best about Blake Jarron right now because it's always like, yeah, let's go. I know I obviously have much lower than you, but let's go. I am trying to be measured, but hear me now. It's hard to contain it. Hear me now.

Jarwin will be on a lot of my teams. I've been holding Blake Jarwin on our dynasty team. He'll be on a lot of waiver wires. Yeah. He's going to be. To start the year is all I'm saying. Jarwin has a chance. Is it your strategy right now? If Jarwin's going to be on a lot of your teams, you're 100% of the leagues that you're in, 100% of them, you can get him with your last pick.

Is that your strategy this year, Mike? Why I have him ranks alone? No, no. I'm manipulating the market. No, I'm just saying you could put him as your number one tight in. And in 100% of the leagues, he will be available for your last pick. Cooper, Gallup, Lamb, Elliott will all have more receptions than Blake Jarwin. I... So the fifth option of an offense, I'm going to take my shot at a Gisicki, who could be the number two option in the offense. It certainly feels like that, but...

I think Jarwin will have more receptions than C.D. Lamb. I think that's fair. It could be close. Okay. I could still put them at four in the offense. You could. I got you. All right. Last question here. I don't know who it's from. Oh, bonjour. Zeke or Kenyon Drake, DJ Chark, J.K. Dobbins. Is that the question? This is a dynasty. I'm not sure I understand. All three of those? Yep.

So dynasty trade. Give me all three of them. Dynasty trade Zeke or Kenyon Drake, DJ Chark, J.K. Dobbins. That one. Give me the package. This is where I'm willing to trade Zeke. Yeah. This is what you need in a hall for Zeke. You need to be able to trade Zeke for, I mean, this is unbelievable. Like Kenyon Drake for this year is going to be awesome. I think long term he'll probably be signed to the carnels, but maybe he's not. And then the following year, you just get to turn to J.K. Dobbins.

Who's going to be a beast when he's the starter for Baltimore? And you get DJ Chark. It certainly seems. The DJ Chark's the best player in this side. You got to make it. You got to take it. Yeah. All right. What are the bids on eBay up to there, Judge? $12. Oh, man. That's disappointing. No, $12,000. 55. Oh, there it is. Are you, uh, how are you feeling back in the captain's stare there?

I love it back here. Yeah, it's great to be back. Glad to be out of the house? Yes. I think we figured out before, like at lunch, that you were probably the person that has been outside of your home the least. Yeah. That sounds about it. This is the first time that he's, his mailbox is overflowing. This wasn't the first time, was it? Not the first. Okay. Second. I'm sad to learn that this is not the captain's chair that I sit in.

I feel like you're just learning that now? But I'm at the center of the table. I like how you're opening your arms. It's the Truman Shell Complex again. He's opening his arms wide like we all don't have the exact same chair. Mine's in the middle. Thank you for tuning in. We'll see you next week. Goodbye.
