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

Cooper is set up for such success this year in Cleveland. And he was, but he was also set up for success last year in Dallas. I know C.D. Lamb is there to be, you know, the next big thing. But C.D. Lamb was, like, 1100 yards and six touchdowns. There's still plenty of room there for Amari Cooper to come through and have himself a big season. And he just, he did not where, so the perception. I'll take McLaren. Okay. Really? The perception to me.

And I could be wrong, but this is how I feel about these players is Amari Cooper, even though these guys are about the same age, Amari Cooper is tailing off, and Terry McLaurin still has an unrealized ceiling. And that could be completely wrong. Before you speak on this, Jason, I want to throw another name out there so you can talk about all three. Sure. DJ Moore. Right, yeah. Or Amari Cooper, because it's the same situation with the kind of like untapped ceiling versus.

situation. Yeah, DJ Moore and Terry McClureen are very similar in that respect. So much talent, bad quarterback play, and you wonder what's going on, but DJ Moore is so young. He's very similar to Amari Cooper when he came in the league very, very young. I mean, you're talking about Amari Cooper. He's had five years. I know we said he's only been a wide receiver one once, but five times he's been a wide receiver two. Terry McLaren literally has only been a wide receiver two once, a wide receiver one, never. They're about the same age.

Amari's tied to a better quarterback. It's an easy Amari Cooper for me. Is that Marry Cooper over DJ Moore then? No, DJ Moore, you know, Amari Cooper and Terry McLaurin are both 26. I believe DJ Moore is still 12 years old. DJ Moore is 25. He's also, he did it? He hit 25 and he's never had a fantasy finish above 18, ever. Yeah, he just had his birthday. So, yeah, I still, I still would lean DJ more there. So what I?

The talent and the extra, like, year and a half. Yeah, you take a McLaren and DJ more, Mike. Then DJ more? I would take DJ more of those three. And I would take, I think I'd still take Terry over Marty Cooper. I think, I understand what you're saying. His, his, uh, um, Marty Cooper is an example of like the running back that is like Zeke. I mean, Zeke is 26. And yet.

It has like a football age that's a little bit different. And Amari Cooper's football age was one in which the Dallas Cowboys were willing to give him away for nothing. So there was a decision made there almost like Julio Jones, where Atlanta said, well, it's over. And then it's, so that possibility exists. Like Amari Cooper being an 800-yard season.

wide receiver for a couple years does exist. Yeah, I think the real crux of this is, Mike, you said, you know, Amari Cooper's arrow is kind of pointing down. Terry McClurens could still be pointing up. Yes. If you're going to say who has a top six season, it's probably not Amari Cooper, it's Terry McLaren. But the truth is, it's neither. The truth is these guys are wide receiver twos. That's what, that's what's happening. And so I feel like it's,

I feel like it's more likely than Amari Cooper has. Now, what if I don't want to have Amari Cooper on my team? Which guy do I pick? Terry McLaurin. There you go. All right. That makes it easy. Yeah, it's actually real easy then. All right. I think we're going to wrap it up. One more quick reminder, ballerslive.com. If you want to go to the show in Detroit or Los Angeles or our Phoenix show in September. I recommend running to the computer. Like right now, just like don't.

Walk. I will say that I know of at least one incredible person that is coming to all three, despite the fact that they are not actually near each other. No. And they win. They win the prize. They win the prize. And this is not a person who's traveling with us? Correct. Yes. I am also going to all three. Really? Yeah.

Were you not aware of this? No, I didn't, I did not know of a super fan. Yes, we are very fortunate. It's going to be a lot of fun. Is this fortunate or is this restraining order stuff? No, no, no, no. This is all beautiful stuff. But we, I think we're going to do some special stuff of these live events too. Right. Spend some time doing some AMA stuff afterwards, have a little discussion with everyone there as well as the live show. So it'll be a lot of fun. That's ballerslive.com. Otherwise.
