Rookie Sleepers + Dynasty Trades, Where’s The Line? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 5/12

to be a necessary piece for Baltimore if J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards aren't healthy. So they went out, they signed them. It makes sense from a just a pragmatic standpoint. You need someone in there. I do think we'll have clarity before most NFL, you know, when we get to the fantasy draft season, we're going to know if Dobbins and Gus are just healthy. They've been practicing. They're a part of this. In which case, I see Mike Davis as irrelevant. And.

He's no guarantee to even make the roster, but he's there now, and he's going to be a great indicator of the health of the other two guys. Other three guys. Sure. Just the Sheltore's ACL as well. Sony Michelle signed by the Dolphins. What? One year, $1.75 million. They now have Chase Edmonds, Rahim Mossert, Sonny Michelle, Miles Gaskin, and Salvin Ahmed. That sucks. So Gaskin might be just done. Gone.

And the gasman could be off this roster. It's clear the dolphins have had enough of the shenanigans of the gasman, and they're moving on. The big question here is who is like the main guy? I think it's still Chase Edmonds. And Sony with a one year under $2 million deal, likely just a depth piece. But for all the people who.

We're, you know, hitting the streets, hitting the Twitter, taking the victory lap of, yes, Chase Edmonds, because he got his contract right away from the Dolphins. And people were very excited that the 49er system was going over there. And Edmonds was, looked like the main guy. He's got company now. I would say this. I've been a little bit excited for Moster, reuniting with Mike Daniel, you know, running that Shanahan offense. He's perfect for it.

But he is coming off of a surgery, and he is not fully healthy. This signing makes me question the recovery of Rahim Mostert and whether or not, you know, is this kind of more insurance for the Mostert recovery or? Well, all signs, I mean, I want to defend Mostert here. I mean, all indications are that he's good to go. I think it's just trying to get rid of the gas man. Yes. The gas man.

has been dead to me before this. He's empty. Yeah. So I, you know, Edmund's going electric. The, the, the, the, the Edmund situation is not easy because he's not a prototypical three down running back. Right. And so, um, you know, if you want to look at Edmonds and Mostert and Sony and say, well, Moster and Sony are going to be some.

James Connor combination. And then Edmonds will play that complimentary role. Like Edmonds will accumulate fantasy points in the most kind of annoying way possible. Like this committee backfield is not one that is fun to stat out. And we're in the throngs of statting every team out for the ultimate draft kit. I didn't have a good time here. Just like we don't have a good time figuring out. Figuring out San Francisco every year. Right.

So, you know, Mike McDaniel will have weapons to use. Certainly. The full schedule for the NFL is getting released today. Yeah, that's fun. Do you look forward to that? I do. I think it's overhyped. It is. Everything is definitely over. I've been told to like it, and I don't think it's that special. I like it because since part of our job entails trying to watch as much football as possible, it.

becomes extremely difficult to physically get to a Cardinal game on Sundays. I would prefer to sit and watch every single game on the TVs we got. So I just look for our primetime games because that's a, oh, mark it down. That's the one week I can actually go to a game and not miss anything. Can I give you a spoiler alert for the schedule release? Sure. You won't like the time the international games are played. Oh, I am aware. Yeah, I do feel like they build it up.

as if we don't know who team who you're playing. You don't know when. Yeah. But we already know who everybody's playing. Yes. But in what order. But win. Yeah. See what I mean. I mean. Do you know? I will tonight. Yeah, that's right. And you'll be excited and you'll, you'll take a screenshot of it and you'll start marking wins and losses. That's probably true. Well, before we introduce a new segment here.

You know, this is news for our kind of show. Yes. There's a pretty important Sam Howl-related update. It's awful. You probably saw it. The commander's rookie quarterback. Now, Sam Hal says he only eats chicken, but listen, he's never, you might say, you might say, hey, is he allergic to, like, red meat? I mean, I'm sure that's a thing, right? No, he's never tried a burger or a steak, won't eat seafood.

orders chicken tenders at steakhouses, brings his own tenders to team dinners. If these reports are true, what are your thoughts? Yeah, Mike, when you say you like chicken, now, are you really thinking I like chicken fingers, chicken, like, they're not bad. No, no, I, chicken, I love McNuggets, I love chicken tenders. They're very delicious, but that's not what I think of when I say chicken. Oh, man, here's a thing. I thought I liked Sam Howells.

film, his production, his age. I like that he was mobile, still had a strong arm. He's completely, I missed the boat big time. I was wrong about all of it. So more likable. Carson Wins in that locker room or seven hell. My goodness. I bet you Carson Wins eats some red meat. I know if I'm going to go have a steak with one of them. It's going to be Carson Wince. Wow. But here, what if I say this? You go out to a steak dinner with Sam.

You order two steaks. You now have two steaks. You're saying because he won't eat it. Right. I would say the only way that I would choose Sam Howl is if I'm buying. If I'm paying for the meal, then I'll bring Sam Howl because chicken's cheat. Chicken tenders. What is that? Well, he brings them. That is probably kids menu. Yeah. Which he probably, I mean, to be fair, he's a kid. Yes. I don't blame him with the seafood. Like lobsters and crabs are really just gigantic insects that are in the sea.

They're delicious, though. But they look like giant bugs. I mean, we can all agree on this, right? They are really weird creatures. They are the bugs of the sea. Yes, thank you. But the sea is prettier. Is it? I mean, they're kind of cooler. Well, they're temperature-wise, yes. Shal-la-la-la-la. Under the sea, man. Yeah, I mean. Everything's better down where it's wetter. Is that the last big piece of news we need to talk about, Brooks? Yes, sir. Offseason going well. All right. Let's take a quick break.

I mean, do you do have some sort of food take that's a Sam Hale-esque that you're afraid to admit? I mean, I'm not afraid to admit, but I have been on record many times saying,

Like, I will take a good cheeseburger over a good steak. You have said that. Yeah, I don't have it, but Al Borland's not here, can't defend himself, so I will happily throw him under this. Nice. Get him. He will not eat seafood just like Sam Howe, but to the point where, like, he has never, ever, ever tried a bite. And he tells people he's allergic.

He's not allergic. He just goes to restaurants and says, he's a filthy liar. Yeah, I can't have shellfish. I'm allergic. No, you're not. You're really not. Now, he says that whether or not they serve seafood. Well, I would imagine it's only if they serve seafood. But in his defense, maybe he is. Maybe he's allergic. He doesn't even know. He has no idea. Okay. All right. Let's introduce a new segment. Where's the line? All right, we are asked very often.

about trades, specifically in dynasty leagues, about acquiring players in exchange for draft picks. In fact, on the Tuesday show, one of the things I talked about as a tip for new dynasty players is that there are going to be a handful of managers in your league that overvalue or undervalue draft picks. And so it is an important component in trading, and it's kind of difficult.
