You don't want that hustle, and you definitely don't want the bustle. The bustle is dangerous. What is the bustle? I know what the hustle is. The hustle is quick movement. The bustle, I think, is thorn-related on a bus. Oh, really? Hmm. I'm not sure. Is that real, or is that a... He's trying to... No, that was... A thistle joke? Yeah, I was going for some kind of thistle in a bus. Do we have to restart the show? Oh, man. What?

2:31 ↗

That's not great. I assume bustle is like people up there, thank you. Like in New York City, right? And you're on the- They're bustling everywhere. Well, you're walking around on the street and you're rubbing shoulders with people. Is that the bustle that you're trying to avoid at the supermarket? Brooks, help me here. I don't know, man. You don't know. Al, you're a man of the people. It's like when you're on the dance floor.

2:54 ↗

You know, don't just stand there. I'm really sorry, Judge. I'm really sorry. Thank you. Here's a nice definition online to be bustly astir. That's the definition. Can I get a definition on the definition, please? All right, here we go. Here's a better one to move briskly and often ostentatiously bustled around the kitchen. That's, this is Google. This is not me, you cannot blame me for this. So we're ostentatious now. Yeah. With our bustling. I apologize for inquiring. Sophisticated.

Tuesday, March 30th at the fantasy footballers Jason Moore, Mike, the fantasy hitman. Right, I'm Andy Holloway. Free agency winners and losers show today. Oh, baby, and some trades. Yeah, there's some trades we have to talk about in our news segment. And breaking out the dynasty download today, this off season as we get ready for 2021. Well, it's not off season for Dynasty leagues, right? It's just always. Yeah.

3:54 ↗

I mean, well, it's just near crime season. What do you call it? Season? I mean, honestly, it's in season and season. Yeah, it's the 2021 season. Like it begins as soon as the other one ends. I do feel like this is dynasty season. Yeah. That makes sense. So we have dynasty download on the show today. And Mike broke out a new drop for us. Oh, man, did I?

4:18 ↗

Twitter at the FFF ballers, defanacyfootballers.com's the website. Jointhefoot.com is our community of patrons supporting the show. If you are looking to get into a league, I have seen many folks come out over the last couple weeks, and they have been very thankful that they found Fooklandleagues.com, which is one of the perks of supporting the show. You get like-minded, fantasy crazy people that want to be in leagues together and be active and make trades and actually participate.

4:48 ↗

And, you know, it's fun to win a league where the other 11 people don't play. But it's really not. There is a lot of bustling in those forums. Yes, which you might not have in your home leagues. So you can check that out at join the foot.com. And let's talk news. News and notes from around the league. It just goes to show all of human history still no thistle jokes that have landed. That's right.

5:21 ↗

I don't think I'll get one. Well, we know Al Borland really enjoyed. Because he knows. He knows I will not give up. Yeah, unfortunately. All right. Well, NFL owners anticipating what we've been anticipating, a 17-game season for the NFL. This means if you adjust your league to kind of match what I would say will recommend and everybody will be doing, you're going to have a 14-week regular season.

5:50 ↗

for the first time in history. And buy weeks to deal with, maybe in a different fashion. And then you're also going to be looking at benchmarks for players in a whole new light. I mean, we're going to be redefining what a good season is. We being media, those that you're listening to, talking about seasons, a thousand yards is not a thousand yards. And.

6:12 ↗

You know, in addition to that, we finally become week 17ers. Ourself, our championship week will be in week 17. We've always looked down upon week 17ers. And now we have joined them. If you were a week 17er, just stay the same. Stay right there. Yeah. Don't adjust anything. Big trades. Big, big trades. And I'm glad that these happen now, to be honest with you. It's going to make it easier.

6:40 ↗

for us to we're going to be breaking down rookies we're going to be talking about the draft and if we make a bunch of predictions and then draft day trades happen it doesn't help anybody but they happen ahead of time the 49ers receive the number three overall pick all they had to do was give up the number 12 overall pick a third rounder this year and first round picks in 2022 and 2023 all in

7:09 ↗

All in on insert name here because we don't know definitively whether this will be handicapper right now. Where are you at with the number three pick? What quarterback do you believe? Oh, man. You've got to bet your house on something today, Mike. That name is who? So the 49ers, if you haven't been paying attention, are throwing smoke bombs and smoke screens everywhere because it was.

7:39 ↗

What is out there in the media right now, and maybe the Jets are smoke screening as well, everyone. Everyone is throwing excessive smoke bombs. But what we believe today is Zach Wilson will be the number two pick. So that leaves of the first round quarterbacks left. You have Justin Fields, Trey Lance, and Mac Jones. Now, here's where the slide of hand is happening. Because.

8:09 ↗

I would think it would be Justin Fields. I still think that Justin Fields is the second best quarterback in this draft. And we've heard him linked to the number three pick. But now the 49ers were going to attend a pro day, except Justin Fields Pro Day fell on the exact same pro day as Mac Jones. You can't be two places and won. You cannot be. Well, you can send some representatives from your team, except they are sending the big dogs.

8:38 ↗

They're sending Kyle Shanahan and General Manager Lynch to the Mac Jones Bro Day. But is this simply a tactic to throw people off the dissent that they do not want the number two pick to end up being Justin Fields? All right. So make your pick. Who do you believe that the San Francisco 49ers will pick at number three? Justin Fields. Andy? Mack Jones.

9:03 ↗

I am Justin Fields. I still think it's going to happen. I'm not falling for it, Shanahan. I was trying to find the angle because I was like, well, what advantage are they gaining? But what you're saying is right about not wanting to, they're not wanting another team to trade with the Jets. Right. And go take Justin Fields at number two. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I'm going to stick with. I think Mack Jones is. It's too obvious. What's interesting is look at last week. You had.

9:34 ↗

mock drafts that you made fun of here on this show. Yes, do do vows. That had Justin Fields dropping to nine. Those look better. Look, here's what is so, I'm not going to say, the word's not hypocritical. I don't even know what it is. Inconsistent, annoying. Every year, it's consensus, consensus, consensus. The consensus, right, that has Paxton Lynch in the first round, a DAC in the fourth.

10:04 ↗

You can be different. If you have somebody that you always speak highly of Kyle Shanahan. If Kyle Shanahan goes Mack Jones at three in the face of a thousand Justin Fields truthers, what are you supposed to do? Take the guy everybody says you should take Chicago? No, no, no. That's a good jab right there. Absolutely not. If Kyle Sanhan is taking Mac Jones, then he is their guy. When you move up to number three and you're burning.

10:34 ↗

Two extra first round picks and a third. Mm-hmm. You are okay with two outcomes. You are okay with at least two guys because Trevor Lawrence is number one. At least we have the Jaguars not doing the, well, I don't know who we're going to take number one. Get out of here. What teams do that? Gardner Minch who's our guy. Like the calves when they landed the number one pick for LeBron James. Oh, we don't know.

11:04 ↗

I just think more teams you subject yourself to criticism when you don't go by consensus. When consensus happens and it doesn't work out, you get to look at everybody, all your friends and say, well, everybody had them there. Well, I don't think it's just consensus because they are also going off of not just, and I'm talking about the big media mock draft for people, they're not just going off of.

11:27 ↗

they're scouting of these players. They're also, they're plugged in to teams. So they are trying to gleam and siphon as much information as they can and then put players in draft positions based off of that news as well. And that's what makes it really difficult to believe it could be Mac Jones because Mac Jones fell to 12 in most mock drafts. And that's not to say he would get there. And if that's your guy, you go get him. But to trade three firsts.

11:53 ↗

and a third to get a guy who might have fallen to you really early seems. Well, and this is a draft with a lot of quarterbacks that might go in the first round, and a lot of teams competing for franchise quarterbacks. Right. So there could be a lot of movement or would have been a lot of movement on draft day. Here's what I, part two, okay, part two of this news is, and I've read what Kyle Shanahan saying and.

12:18 ↗

You know, Jimmy Garapolo is on this team. Ian Rappaport coming out saying he's the starter for 2021. I fully believe that. I believe Jimmy Garoppolo will start and be their quarterback next year. So they're drafting Trey Lance. Ooh.

12:35 ↗

Well, I don't, I know, you're saying that because Mack Jones, you believe is more starter ready. Right. And this is a team of development. Yeah, I don't think it's, I don't think it has to be a developmental quarterback to sit a guy down for a year. You can do that with really good quarterbacks and have it end up the way you want it to. This team believes that last year with the injuries, it was an anomaly. They have a bunch of pieces back and they're ready to win. And integrating a brand new rookie quarterback does not equate to.

13:05 ↗

getting back to the Super Bowl. I mean, it just doesn't. So for fantasy purposes, we're going to have to navigate this. We're going to have to look at Jimmy Grappolo and say, okay, he's the devil we know in this offense and what it means for Dibeau and what it means for IUC and what it means for this offense. And that's a lot of times better than trying to project what a rookie might do if he comes in a week. Now he might come in halfway through the year if it's going wrong. It could remind you of the Alex Smith Pat Mahomes situation where Alex Smith was

13:35 ↗

Goodish quarterback. Kansas City was good that year. Yeah, absolutely. And they played the whole year. Yeah, he played the whole year. And that wasn't because Patrick Mahomes was a developmental guy who sucks, obviously. But it worked out for everybody. All right. And then there was a follow-up trade. The Miami Dolphins playing full-on fantasy football. Oh, man. And they received, they traded the 12. They just had picked up. And they got the six. And essentially.
