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

All right, the Chargers signed Jared Cook. Jared Keek? We had a, that's good. That's actually a great signing for both Jared Cook and for the Chargers. You lose Hunter Henry, and he is as good a replacement as was out there on the market for a pass catching tied in. And we're not going to play a game.

You know, but we had one kind of prepared. Oh, a mini game? A little mini game between Jared Kuk and Mark Andrews. Okay. In the last three years, both guys have played 45 games and both guys have had the exact same amount of games played, the exact same amount of yardage, 2,105. Really? More targets to Mark Andrews, more touchdowns to Jared Kuk.

And they both have 12 top five weeks at tight end over that stretch. So Derek Kuk is a good player. Interesting. That was the conclusion of the game? That was the conclusion. It didn't say anything about Mark Andrews in a negative sense. No, I decided to not make it a big official game because it does include Mark Andrews's rookie year. Yeah. I think the reason people are more interested in Andrews is what good, like Cook's not on the way up.

Right, no, clearly he's not. They're crossing on their... But it's possible that Justin Herbert is on the way up. No, it's a good signing. It makes perfect... It gives Jared Cook potential. All right, Gerald Everett. One year deal with the Seahawks. Yeah, it's... It is interesting of the places that Gerald Everett could have gone. I mean, you don't have... Is it Will Disley? Is Big Montana still the starting tight end?

I don't know. That remains to be seen. We can only help Mike. Well, you can't because Gerald Avers has been sitting on my dynasty squad for feels like 2,000 years now. And the new O.C. from the Rams has experienced with Gerald Everett. Likes him. So let's see if he can turn into the number three option for the team. Oh, he'll be more than the number three option.

I think Gerald Everett could easily turn into the number one option when it comes to the passing game because Disley didn't look. No, no, I'm talking overall. Oh, gotcha. Yes. I think he will be. I thought you were throwing. Oh, you've locked a D.K. McCamp. Gerald Everett is set to take over the world. No, I thought you were putting him behind Greg Olson and Big Montana. Well, Will Disley, I think, will, because of familiarity, will stay number one on the depth chart and a year removed from the injury.

But I think Everett's in perfect position to disappoint people again, just like he always did. This is great for Tyler Higby, though. That's a name entering the offseason that I was excited about. We've seen, you know, we had all the debate last year. Is it Higby? Is it Everett? And the conclusion that Andy and I came to was that this was about Everett being gone. And if you look at those splits when Higby was good, when they were both on the field, Higby was not great. But I promise that Higby and Everett.

are not on the field at the same time this year. So that's great news for Tyler. Well, twice a year they will be, Jason. At the same time? Well, not at the same time. Well, they'll like, when they're running on and off the field, technically for a moment, like a brief moment. Yeah. I think one of them have to be playing special teams. Um, Dan Arnold, uh, two years six million dollar contract to go to Carolina. Uh, uh, he will.

He will have an opportunity. I mean, he will. Ian Thomas was out there running around all the time. Just running around doing nothing. Just running. Just Ian Thomas did less than nothing on that team. You want to know who's going to make Dan Arnold look good. It's Ian Thomas. That's true. Mitchell Turbisky signed a backup deal with the bills. Barely. Do you know how big that contract was? Was it the two and a half million dollars? Two and a half million dollars.

That just feels like the market could have been larger. Now, what did Jacoby Brissette get? Take a lot. It's like 10. What did Tyrod get? That's a third string deal. Yeah, I mean, it's like that had to be all that was out there. From number two draft pick overall. Trade it up for. The Bears fans don't need to hear this. Okay. I'm sorry. But it's, I mean, it's all factual. It's all true. That is a whoopsie daisy. I mean, Mitchell Tribiskey signed a bottom of the basement deal.

on a team where you will guarantee have no opportunity. Correct. Like, there's not a work, like, what's the worst situation you can have? Like, behind Mahomes or behind Josh Allen? Or, I mean, I just, it's bad. He's really into winter sports. Maybe. I mean, Mitch is. Loves snowboarding. Boo. Um, Jacob Hollister signed by the bills to play tight end, whatever. Bashad Perryman, uh, back or on the lions now.

formerly of the Jets. I mean, he's going to start. Yeah, I mean, I added Tyrell Williams in a Dynasty League this week. He was on the waiver. You bet he was. Oh, that's a really good ad. Because I'm like, I don't, it feels like John Brown in, uh, in Las Vegas where it's like you might as well add no, if they're sitting out there. 100% you should like Perryman and Tyrell that are going to start. Tyrell Williams.

and Brashad Perriman are like the poorest man versions you could possibly get of Kitty Colliday and Marvin Jones. It's like, I mean, they're like the same kind of comps as those two guys? You think they gave them the two lockers? Yeah, I hope so. They're like, come on, guys. You could step right in. I know it. Hey, Deshaun Jackson, one year deal with the Rams and Matthew Stafford. Okay. That's somehow you're, all you said was okay and it was still a little too optimistic for me. I'm not optimistic for fantasy. I'm just.

It's good for the team if he can play. Yes, that's the big if. And it's, the NFL is better when Deshaun Jackson is playing. Josh Reynolds, former Ram, now a Titan. This one is actually interesting to me. This is a name. Hey, guess what? One year deal.

Sure. I mean, so many of them are this year, but this is a situation where he's going in in replacement of Corey Davis. And when I look at Josh Reynolds, I said he's a solid NFL wide receiver. He's nothing spectacular, but he is not a bad wide receiver. And when you look at Corey Davis, you go, okay, maybe he's a little bit better than solid NFL receiver. Maybe he's a good NFL receiver. But the gap between Cory Davis and Josh Reynolds is not that large.

And so you're inheriting a spot here where there are targets and touchdowns and yards to be had. So Josh Reynolds, I don't know that he's on Dynasty waivers or not, probably not, but he's a name that, you know, at the very end of drafts or in bestball leagues or in Dynasty, at least check the waivers because he will be relevant for Fantasy next year. Could be. Could be. Who are some big names still left out there before I get into Mailback?

That we haven't talked about or they haven't signed? We said Fournette, Connor, Lev Bell, Mike Davis. Those are the running backs. James White's still out there. Gurley. Oh, man. How quick was that fall? Antonio Brown. Yeah. Antonio Brad. T.Y. Hilton, we said earlier, is still out there. I'm trying to remember any other big names we're waiting on. I think that's really good. Sammy Watkins is still out there. Larry Fitzgerald still unsigned. Golden Tate.

So, D.D. Westbrook, Mike. How do you feel about that? D.D. Westbrook, back to Chicago? Or to Chicago to be with Nick Foles? Yeah. You're sweetie. No more big tight ends available, are there? Jordan Reed. Jake, but. Okay, so no. Correct. All right, let's do a little bit of mailbag before we close this thing out. Mailbag. Mailbag.

I think he will end up probably in the third round because he will go. No. No.

Really? Back of the second, top of the third is where I think he'll land. He's going to be firmly supplanted by Calvin Ridley. That's what I'm going to ask you. Is he going to go ahead of or behind Ridley in every draft? I believe so. You know, in the vast majority. Could that be a, like a really sad thing for a Ridley manager? Yes, that could be a trap. Absolutely. I was going to say middle of the second round for Julio. I think when push comes to shove, do you think he goes ahead of Keenan Allen?

I would take Julio over Keenan. He'll be right around there. Michael Thomas? I know Michael Thomas is going to go further down than we think because of the situation. That is an excellent question. And right now, I think I would take Julio. Okay. So you're hopeful. Hopeful. Yeah, it's definitely a riskier pick. I'm looking at some super early ADP. Obviously, this is very, very early.

But it has... Early in the morning. Only early in the morning. It has Julio going on average at 306 behind Michael Thomas, Mike Evans, and Keenan Allen ahead of it. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Right now I don't know if there's going to be a lot of Julio excitement. I wonder if it'll change, though. I'm excited to drive Julio in the third round. I would love to grab. I mean, that's running back, running back, Julio. I'll start my draft that way every time. I still got Matt Ryan. Still throwing the ball a ton.

All right, here's a website question from Colton and Alexandria. Adam Thielen or Terry McLaurin in a PPR? Mike, I know the other day we talked about McLaurin. You said he's firmly a top 25 wide receiver. How do you see this right now? Is it a tough one? It is a tough one. Oh, I'm going to take Terry. I think I'll take Terry. Jason? I'm going to stay on the Adam Thielen side.

I definitely think it's close. And if you're talking about who's going to have the best year possible, if both hit, I think it would probably be Terry McLauran because you're coming into, you know, year three where maybe he takes a step forward. He's finally got a quarterback that can, you know, the upside is there. Whereas I think with.

Thielen, his best seasons are now behind him. But he's just been so rock solid for fantasy for so long. I didn't see anything on film that made me doubt him. His situation, his quarterback is better. So I'll stick with Thielen this year. Probably going to find ourselves getting beat by a lot of teams that have Adam Thielen and Julio Jones at wide receiver one and two on their team. All right. We want to thank.
