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

When he was hurt the whole time, so it was like Kyle Allen, and you would just see Curtis Samuel doing his thing wide open. And he just was getting. And every week it was the air yards. The air yards are going to pay off for Curtis Samuel. And they just never did. Well, now you got Ryan Fitzpatrick. Like if they go back to that formula of using of the Ron Rivera uses of Curtis Samuel.

That's very interesting. You have him. You've got Terry McLaurin on the other side, so you can't just completely try and remove Curtis Samuel from the game. I think this is a great signing. Washington is going to be incredibly fun for football. Will we get a team name at some point? Yeah. What is that? How many years do we need for a team name? 2020. I believe that's when they're targeting right now for a team name.

It's going to take them that long. I think it can be done faster than two whole years. Yeah. No, it can. It for sure can, but not for Washington. Here's. What animal would you go with? Oh, if you're going animal for Washington? Oh, the hog. The hogs? Yeah. Okay. All right. Yeah. I mean, that's their name. The fans, yeah. The fans do that thing. Okay. Would you put tusks on this hawk? Is it like a havelina situation? You could put some tusks on them. I don't care. Mix it up. Do you have a.

Do I have an animal? An animal? Yeah. Oh, man. You can go alliteration. You can find a W animal. Wardhawk. Oh, that's kind of like a hog. I thought you were going to go wildebeest. Nailed it. Warthog indeed. Okay. The wildebeest. Because I was thinking boar, but that's basically a boar. Yeah. What's with you and boars? You have a lot of boar-related conversations. Spears and boars. The king of the jungle, you know? We have some dreams here.

King of the Jungle. I'm not going to, I don't personally draw too much from his first usage with Ron Rivera and Carolina. What happens when a wide receiver comes on a team and you put him in a position to use his speed, be a downfield threat, I think he's a weapon. I think they're going to use him innovatively. I think they're going to use him in the ways that they use what, like Cam Sims and some of these other weapons in this Washington offense where it's like, look, we're going to manufacture touches for a weapon.

Hopefully they do. So in that regard, I think it does, it lowers the kind of belcalability of Antonio Gibson in the sense that your entire offense isn't Antonio Gibson. It's McLaurin. It's Gibson. It's Samuel. Maybe. It's not to take away from Gibson. Yeah. So opportunities, but as what my champion, Antonio Gibson needs.

He needs more scoring opportunities. I know he came through with him. Didn't he overwhelm? Overperform in that department? Yes. He came through with an absolute boatload of touchdowns that it felt like he shouldn't be scoring that much. So if we can improve this offense, make it more high-powered, I think that's great news for Gibson.

When I look at this signing for Curtis Samuel, I think it's a pretty sideways move for him. We talk up Brian Fitzpatrick as this just fun, awesome quarterback. He's not a great quarterback. This isn't going to some situation that's awesome. It's just much better than Alex Smith. And I, so the way that I look at it is this is sideways for him. I also don't think it impacts negatively Terry McLaren. This is a really nice signing.

for Terry to stay the one on the team, have the majority of targets, but have coverage open up a little bit. Where I love this signing, and I love it for this reason.

is DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson. Getting Curtis Samuel out and officially having him move on is phenomenal because we've talked about it before many times. You want those two target options and that's where fantasy gold comes from. You're not worried about Dan Arnold coming in there and threatening those two guys. Oh, the postman. No, I'm not worried about them. There's no mail delivered on Sunday. There'll be fine. Here's an interesting stat to bring to mind with the same. And I agree. Sideways on Samuel's value.

Good for the team. Oh, yeah. Smooches himself, J.D. McKissick. He was waiting. 995 opportunities last year.

Yeah, and he'll still get opportunities. He will not get hardly any opportunities. The biggest difference for Ryan Fitzpatrick, listen, Ryan Fitzpatrick is not going to be. Alex Smith had games where he was, didn't he have like 15 target games? Sure, that didn't happen. That's not going to happen because Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn't have to do that. He'll utilize the running back. But I think Jady McKissick was a creation based on the fact that you had no other options.

Well, that's why they went out and intentionally signed him in the offseason by this coaching staff. He's still a fine player, but I'm saying for fantasy usage and being able to play him, I don't think it's going to be anything like what we saw last season. All right. The player that I predicted mostly to scare Mike going to this backfield. Yeah. Which did not happen. No, it did not. And it got your guy. So eat that.

by former my guy uh the raiders signed running back kenyon drake two year 11 million dollar contract left the fantasy football world kind of shaking their head and ew what are you gross what are you doing i mean josh jacobs is in trouble kenya drake is useless this is what i meant by the off season another one of these moves

You don't even go to a place where we can just like even prognosticate good things for you, Kenyon Drake. You go to a place to destroy another person. Josh Jacobs is not an, he's an RB2 at best. I know obviously that the draft price of both of these players is going to plummet after this move. And rightfully so, I can't imagine really wanting either one.

on my roster going into 2021, unless it was, you know, a late round pick because you don't know how this is going to break down. I think it's full committee here. I think you're going to end up seeing 50-50. I mean, it's as gross as it gets. 40-40, because Jalen Richard needs to get his. That's right. They will not take him off the field. And they've lost three-fifths of their starting offensive line. Josh Jacobs or Rahim Mostert. Rahim Moster. Moster.

Josh Jacobs or Ronald Jones. Got to see what pans out there. But if Lenny is gone, Ronald Jones. I'll go Ronald Jones. I'm going to see David Johnson in Houston with the, he's got Mark Ingram and Philip Lindsay. And Philip Lindsay. David Johnson or Josh Jacobs. I think that's where we go. Josh Jacobs. I mean, I know they like to run the football and you're going to have your burst game from Jacobs. But what a disappointing outcome here. Yes. Ew.

It's so, I mean, Jason's the point of the offensive line. What are you doing? They did just lock up a center of the future. Oh, did they? They let Hudson go and they just signed their center of the future to a three-year deal today. No, for the record, is he as good as he an all pro like Hudson was? Not yet. Okay. So the future is not bright, but he is the center of the future. Got it. Well, you need one when you've got your center of the past is departed. That's fair.

Any other thoughts on the Jacobs, Drake, Headshaker? Yes. Ew. Okay. Thank you, Mike. Chris Carson, re-signed. Another resigning. Here we go. But this is a resigning, but this is fantastic. Three years, 24 million, voidable third year. Which, number one, congratulations Chris Carson. He was a seventh round pick. So this dude has been doing everything, having all this success in the NFL, which, you know, the probability was against him. Hey, and he has not made money.

doing it, just, you know, destroying his body. So good for you, Chris Carson, getting that bag. And he's going to be the dude, you know, like that brief window of maybe Chris Carson moves on. Maybe it's Rashad Penny for your thoughts. Yeah. Perhaps there is a redemption story for Rashad Penny. There will not be. It will be all Chris Carson. Seattle will not be letting Russ cook. They will be giving the ball to Chris Carson.

over and over and over. So is he going to be one of the more undervalued running backs again? Usually he is. Yeah, I think it'll happen again this season. With Carlos Hyde leaving, and I do expect Rashad Penny to be more and more involved. He's past his injury. But even still, with Carlos Hyde gone, you expect an increase in workload for Chris Carson, who is an excellent running back. He can catch the ball well. He could do everything. So I think Chris Carson will be a draft day value for sure next year.

sure seems like Pete Carroll has dug in on wanting to get back to what they do best, which is run the football. Makes me wonder if there's another running back on the way to Seattle at some point this off season. That would suck. Don't do it. Yeah. Well, we'll see. Right now they've got Alex Collins and. Oh, that's right. They did add Alex Collins earlier this off season. Right. So Alex Collins and Rashad Penny, it makes it because I agree with you. And it's like, oh, yeah, maybe they add someone.

But at least with those two guys, man, it's tempting to just go, let's go right into the season with these three. I think so. No, I forgot about Collins. They like Collins. I would love Chris Carson in this situation. All right. The Texan signed Philip Lindsay to a one-year deal. Which good. Another guy. Good for you, Philip Lindsay. More than his RFA Tinder, which I didn't bring up on the last show because I was thinking maybe they just cut him.

He ends up getting $3 million for a one-year deal. Tough to be a running back. Yeah. Goes to Houston. Collie. I don't know what's going on. No one knows what's going on. Is Philip Lindsay the number two running back? Houston feels like a team that is just...

They're adding everyone they can at a very lower level of talent. And it seems like they're going to put them in the sifter. And whoever, they're just cut whoever they don't want. This is the Taco Bell menu. They're trying to get it done. But you can go to Taco Bell and you can pay up. You can get a cheesy gordita crunch. And you know what's going to get the job done. But then you're paying like four bucks for something at Taco Bell. You're like, well, hold on. I can get.

47 other items. I get 47 tacos for $3 and that's going to be way better except it's not going to work because you're just going to feel bad and have diarrhea. Was Will Fuller, the cheesy gordita crunch in this analogy? He was and he's gone now. So, yeah, they've signed so many of these like middling wide outs and running backs and pieces to their offense and defense that I feel like they were going to cut half of them before the season. Yes, they will. Dante Moncrief. What? Moncrief is there? I feel like there must be this underground.

like almost out of the league wide receiver like group and they're all on facebook and they're like dude guys go to houston the tex go to houston right now the texas are giving out contracts to all of us um yeah cully the collector as we've been calling him around here i do think philip lindsay is the two i thought when mark ingram signed this is a locker room signing

Colley was with him in the Ravens. He knows he's a leader in the... He is the ultimate hype, man. If you remember those interviews with him with Lamar, he's fabulous. So I think it will go David Johnson, Philip Lindsay, Mark Ingram. But Mark Ingraham is not going to get zero carries. So this is really a backfield probably to be avoided. Randall Cobb, Dante Moncrief, Andre Roberts. Oh, my goodness. Brandon Cook's leading up this crew.

Top 15 widers. QT is still there, right? Kiki QT. Goodness gracious. Chad Hansen. My goodness, yeah. Mike Boone signed to the Broncos to, I guess, be a depth piece. This is actually Lindsay leaving. Don't forget Melvin Gordon. I mean, his legal situation was dropped. Yep. I don't expect there to be penalties from the league in any regard. Shouldn't be. And Melvin Gordon is going to come in there and have a.

an opportunity to be a high volume, probably more valuable than we think back. Yeah, I was kicking the tires on some dynasty, Melvin Gordon trade value because he's a guy that I don't think. People want to get rid of him. Yeah, people want to get rid of them. But I do worry that they're not going to be done here. They will bring someone else and draft a running back of the future. So I'm holding out until after the NFL draft.
