The Frenzy Continues + Kenny G Breakdown, Spears & Boars - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/23

in 2019, the last big time season he was out there on the field. This is our, I think, most exciting debate topic is whether we actually believe Kenny Gallaudet to the Giants can bear fruit for fantasy football players. Daniel Jones, there are metrics that bend him towards, hey, this could be a promising situation for Kenny.

G, third best PFF grade and highest passer rating on 20 plus yard throws. Kenny G led the NFL in 20 plus yard targets in 2019. A match made in heaven. Kenny Golliday is a big-bodied contested catch guru. He's not a separator metric-wise. He doesn't get a lot of separation. It's gotten better, but yeah. Yeah. That's not his game. Not his game. Daniel Jones.

We don't know what his game is going to be. This feels a whole lot like the last Mitch Trubisky season in Chicago in the sense that a declaration on his future will be made this year, in my opinion. Daniel Jones's success or failure this season will determine his longevity, dynasty value, potential to be a starter, or does he go the way of Trubisky and go back somebody else up? Yeah, I agree completely. I think that that's...

what the Giants are seeing as well. But what they have done here is they have given Daniel Jones the ability to succeed by having a true number one wide receiver. It's not like what happened with Sam Darnold where it's like, we need you to step it up.

But you don't get, you get Breshad Perman. That's, so congratulations. This is a situation where I think, uh, Daniel Jones. I mean, look at the weapons that the New York Giants offense has around Daniel Jones now with, um, we'll start at the bottom, Evan Ingraham. Stop it. Um, you, you've still got, I think, a very good wide receiver in Sterling Shepard.

Things will open up for him. Kenny Golliday, superstar John Ross, and of course, Sequin Barclay's coming back. So you have a really, really nice wide receiver crew for Daniel Jones. You would even list the person who's playing over John Ross. Oh, nobody's playing over John Ross. You're talking about Darius Slayton? Yes. Yeah, this news, the Kenny G. signing was devastating for Darius Slateen's dynasty value. It's a very, very bad. Look, he's not betting on Daniel Jones to supply.

multiple valuable pass catching options is a bad bet. He hasn't given us a reason to believe otherwise. Kenny Goliday, however, not a volume receiver. This wasn't picking up Alan Robinson and free agency. Kenny Goladay is a put him down for 70. Put him down for 75 maybe under this contract. 75 would be nice. I don't think he's getting more than that.

So I think we see potential because we've seen potential from Daniel Jones, Darius Slayton, at times in the past, even Evan Ingram, big games, big moments. But you have Matthew Stafford, who's a much better quarterback than Daniel Jones is. And you're downgrading quarterback unequivocally. Yes. You are also in a position where, you know, this team I still think is going to be predicated on the return of Saquan Barclay and his involvement in the running game, being able to succeed. Do I think that they're a better team this year than last year?

When you acquire Ghaladay and Barclay in the offseason, which is basically what they did, you have to get better on offense. Yeah, I mean, I see this as a downgrade for Kenny Goladay. When I'm looking at how many targets there are there, how many weapons to catch targets, you're looking at a guy who's probably going to be sub-70 receptions, which can be fine. Two years ago, he only had 65 receptions when he was the wide receiver six. But then you just talk about...

Is it going to get better going from Matthew Stafford to Daniel Jones? I don't think so. So, you know, I think Kenny Gallaudet will probably be outside of my top 15 wide receivers this next year, still an elite talent. But on the flip side, I think this is really, Daniel Jones should be a good fantasy option because he still runs the ball. I was going to ask you where Daniel Jones ended up eighth at...

Quarterback rushes and where did he go? Number seven in quarterback rushing yards last year. We saw that he beat. We've seen over the last couple of years he's willing to run. He's willing to trip, but. He needs to because he's only averaging, like last year he was 210 yards of game passing. 14 games started under 3,000 yards passing. But again, the chicken or egg, I mean the Carson Wentz debate, like who was he supposed to throw to? You know, like.

Well, now he's got Kyle Rudolph, Mike. Do we want to mention that? Kyle Rudolph joining the squad. Kyle Rudolph is a legit signing for this team because he's going to be blocking. Evan Anger will be the one out there as the move tight end and their offensive line needs help. All right. Rubber meets the road. Is Kenny Gallaudet a top 15 wide receiver in fantasy? That's been the bar for Godwin and Robinson in recent debates. I am going to say no. I do not think he's a top 15.

Yeah, I already answered that. I agree. 15, man. That's a great bar. I would say no right now. Rankings are not done, obviously, but just so it's like that gut check. But I can't imagine he'll be in the top 15. All right. Well, let's talk about another wide receiver that finally found a home. Oh, a one-year contract. The Dolphins signed Will Fuller. Cool. The fifth.

formerly of the Texans, one-year deal with two. How is he at slants? Will Fuller? Yeah. He's very fast, so, I mean, assuming he gets hit in stride, he could do very well. So you guys are, you guys have played fantasy football? Yeah, dabbled. Dabbled. Are you aware of a phenomenon that takes place when you have a player on your team, on your dynasty team? Mm-hmm. And something like, I don't know.

They sign with the dolphins. And what you do is you try to maybe find the silver lining of the situation. Because on the surface, maybe the situation looks like it's a bunch of slants in not the best situation. Maybe on the surface it looks like 10% of Tua's passes for 20 yards down field. I went and watched a lot of film. Tua? Of Tua throwing the ball deep. Like his deep route. He had some nice deep balls that were.

dropping out of the hands of Jaquine Grant or others that shall remain nameless. Is there a world where, look, Will Fuller, much like Kenny Gallaud, he's not going to live on 100 reception seasons. Do you think that there's some potential here in Miami? No, I mean, he could. Will Fuller is the dude. Make the case and then trade for Will Fuller. Go, go. I would rather trade and then make the case. The case is simply volume. He's.

He will be the number one guy down there without a shadow of a doubt. Shadow of a doubt. Like in whose, I mean, I guess Parker. Yeah. So you look at that. That's interesting to me. I think so. I think Will Fuller is the number one. Jason, do you have that exact same interpretation of the move? I do think that he would be the number one here. Because the way that Parker was used with Tua.

It didn't fit to it. Parker Fitzpatrick, but they needed someone that could have a little bit more separation. And like you said, Mike, Tua wants to hit a guy in stride. He's good at leading a receiver. So I think Will Fuller will be the number one here. It's just a matter of obviously he hasn't played a full season ever. And he won't this year. He will miss week one. That's right. He has suspended. Incredibly, Ryan Fitzpatrick's percentage of throws 20 plus yards downfield was lower than Tua's. That will shock the world.

That is. Both of them were horribly low. So the offense was maybe more to blame. For one, this is not Will Fuller bias because I don't, I'm not that excited about him in Miami in terms of being able. I don't think he'll go very high in drafts. I think the question marks are all over the place. But I am not one of those people that thinks Tua can't improve. Like there are those out there that really, really hate Tua. He is on a great team.

that is putting him in a great position. He didn't have a lot of weapons. They might draft a really significant running back. They're one of the few teams that's like, it's sitting right there for them. I think Tua has much more potential than we saw. Look, I hope I am wrong because I am one of those that you have described. I don't believe Tua will be a great quarterback. And maybe that's not fair, but I will.

It's a prove it situation to me. Obviously, getting Will Fuller with Devante Parker. And if they get a good running back, he'll have the opportunity to prove it this year. I just don't think it'll happen. All right. Many more free agent topics to discuss. Before we do that, it is time to thank today's sponsors. Guys, 2021, it's looking up.

Washington signed a new wide receiver slash running back slash weapon slash.

Percy Harvin. Curtis Samuel, formerly of the Panthers, three years, $34 million, $34.5. Yeah. Don't want to take that away from him. Respect the money. Yeah. You know Brooks does. We talked about him on the footcast because that deal had happened when we recorded our bonus episode of the show this past week. Bonus. Reunited with Ron Rivera. Apparently they tried to trade for him before the season last year when Ron Rivera arrived in Washington.

And he loves Curtis Samuel. They were unsuccessful and now they get him for free. So not for free. Three year 34 and a half million dollars. Didn't have to give anything up other than the money. What do we think about this signing? This is the place that I thought Curtis Samuel would sign. I think maybe Mike you agreed on our free agent prediction. I like it. It's a good spot. It's, it's very, very interesting because which.

use of Curtis Samuel do we actually see in Washington? Because last year with Matt Ja Rule, you know, he was kind of all over the place. He was used way different than he was when Ron Rivera was there. When Ron Rivera was there, Curtis Samuel was the deep threat. Curtis Samuel was running nine routes all the time. And I don't know if you guys remember the couple years ago when Cam Newton's last year.
