THE MEGALASHOW! Bold Predictions LIVE in PHX - Fantasy Football Podcast for 8/29

Ben Johnson's like, let's do some cool crap now. So I think you're going to see it. That's how he says it too. That is the quote. He loves cool crap. So Caleb, I think we can get there. Loveland, top three, probably not the boldest of the prediction. No, that's about the easiest thing you've ever said. But you, I mean, you mentioned this the other day. First rookie to lead the team in receiving yards since 1983. Dicka, I think was the last one to do it. Mike Dicca. So I think Lovelin can get there. He's crushing camp again. Ben Johnson loves him. We're good.

So let's get more bold. Burden. Top 10. Do we have Luther Burden on any teams yet? Oh, man. There's a row of guys just arm crossed like, no, I don't. No. No. I never will. No. Probably Packers fans. Ben Johnson's own words. I mean, we've quoted it. I'm buying Luther Burden stock right now. I'm calling that inside. Andy, I thought these were bold predictions. Well, for you, they might not be. Not just saying what's going to happen.

But that's insider trading to me. Ben Johnson knows what's going on. 25% target chair on 110 targets. I think he can get there. No more DJ Moore. He's in Buffalo. And last three games we saw Luther Burton, 18 for 289 and 3. I think he can get there. Swift, I mean, even Mike is saying good things about D'Andre Swift this year.

that's crazy but to me it's just math it's like a math equation for yeah that's what it is it seems like that's what it is for you too but it's like good offense scoring opportunities receiving work enough carries the math checks out and then the last one roam in the top 20 Jason you'll be happy to hear this he did lead the team in first read target share I know that his entire problem was that was the foot that's it he was hurt it was the foot it was injury it was

You know, you started hot, then Jason traded for him and ruined a season. Which is what he did last time. I did feel like my journey. And I'll give you the Ben Johnson quote again because we like it, whether it's hyperbolic or prophetic TBD. I want to have the highest scoring offense ever. Yes. And then he quoted the 2013 Denver Broncos who scored 37.9 points a game, which by the way had the Peyton Manning with the touchdown.

He wants to surpass them. By the way, that year, Peyton was number one. No Sean Moreno. Shout out to the giant tier. Oh, yeah. The RB4 that year. Demarius Thomas was the wide receiver one. Decker was the wide receiver nine. Welker was 20. They had three in the top 20 that year. And Julius Thomas, fantasy legend, beast, was the tight in three. So I'm bought in the Bears breakout in 2026. All right.

I think that was Jake. Let's go Indiana. I think that was Jake. The Indiana Bears are breaking out. They needed to get out of Chicago. The Hammond Bears. Hammond Bears.

Yeah, this is not all agreed upon. Everybody does. The promised ones. The year two running backs disappoints in a major way. Boo this man. Boo.

Your booze fuel me. Makes me feel better by myself. Gentie, Hampton, Scataboo, Judkins, and my sweet, sweet, sweet Trayvon Henderson. That's fine. You can hate all you want. Hate all the way to the bank where there will be no money left because the running backs are going to disappoint you at their ADP. How does that make you feel, Jason?

Yeah, Jason, talk to me about this. I think some of these are correct. I think you are painting with a really, really big brush that makes no sense. Hampton's going to crush. It's not broad. It's big. But I, you know, Gensi scares the tar out of me right now. All right. Look, here's why this is a bold prediction. Year two running backs, it's normally a great bet. But here's the- So far I'm not convinced. End of story.

In fantasy, these are the things we want. We want opportunity. We want someone who's at the top of the depth chart, the offensive system, the trends, the team's success. But what do they have to do to actually pay off for their draft cost? Ashton Gentie, going still as the running back seven, despite, owie, owie, owie, owie, owie. Howie, please shut down practice. Everyone take a knee. It's me, Ashton Genty.

The Paul Pierce. I might have popped my pants. Oh, I twisted my ankle. Get up, you baby. I got one guy on my side. Look, injury aside, he's being drafted at his ceiling. The rough, we've been over the schedule. It's terrible. The Raiders are currently favored in three of 17 games for the running back seven in the early second. We did this last year, everybody. Didn't work out. Hampton.

Yeah. Thank you. The hot Hampton. The hot Hampton. The hot Hampton. Hot Hampton. Hot Hampton. Stop into a New York deli by yourselves. It's delicious. It does sound like a sandwich. It really does. And look, I'm just, I'm the lowest because it's the Chargers. It's already happening. The center. He's out. For not, not one moment this off season have we got this man to believe in. No. Justin Herbert and Mike McDaniel. And I want y'all to remember that. You know what I mean? Yes. He's going as the running back nine.

Just behind Gentie. Like, he's being drafted at his ceiling. Meanwhile, Chase Brown. Ken Bone Walker, being drafted after Hampton, guys on truly prolific offenses that we know. I mean, you just heard Joe Burroughs going to break the record for everything. So why would you not want Chase Brown? Cam Scadaboo, Matt Nagy, need I say more for this man? That's the end of the argument. Quinn Sean Judkins, on the ice and fire episode, he was my.

Not fire pick because, look, the offensive line, it's in shambles. You like your Cleveland starting quarterback, everybody? You like him? Too bad. He's going to start for you. Enjoy that one, suckers. Mike is just attacking. Because they're like, these are bold. But this is the one, like, I went into my rankings and I looked at players versus ADP and I went, oh, I know what I have to do.

I have to crap on these guys. Henderson, the ADP is terrifying. Henderson, of these players, is actually, he's great. He's a really, really good player, except Mike Vrable, king of making really, really good decisions with his personal life. Oh, get bodied. Oh, yes. This is like when the politician... I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying you've got to...

But the, you know, you're putting the dirt on. He's already in the green. You're telling me you can't just do like a visit to Sedona with your best friend? Don't even go down the road. Interlock fingers? Nothing going on there. But anyways, look, even I understand what's going on in New England. They like Ramandre. They're going to go to him. You hear that, Jason? The beat reporters, they're very clear. Ramondre is ahead on the depth chart.

Until we do. Oh, yeah. That's right. Until we do not. Technically until week three. You would be into week three. No, you don't predict injury. That is fucking don't. I'm Babe Ruth in this thing. I'm calling my shot. Right there, baby. Week two. No, Jason, you have to point. Yeah, I guess there's more like down there. But here, here's the thing is. Tanya Harding. Is second year running backs, it's supposed to replenish things for fantasy football and every single one of them.

is being drafted extremely high because they should be. I'm just super scared that all of them are going to disappoint us for fantasy football. Boo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We all have, we all have, you know, there's. I hope your booze are ready. There's positive bold predictions and there's negative bold predictions. They both are important for fantasy football. So I don't blame you in saying that. I see some of what you're saying. My only issue really is Hampton because I love them.

Also, I would like to bring up something, Mr. Wright. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We are in the middle of a chopped draft on Sleeper. And with your first round pick, with your first round picked, you selected a Marion Hampton. Liar! Yes. Liar. Liar. Liar. Liar. All right. Okay. On to the next.

I have a much more important... I can't hear you. Oh, you can't? Well, then listen to this bold prediction. I predict that one of us will be enshrined in the Fantasy Footballers Hall of Fame tonight. No. What? No, no, no. This is my bit. Thanks. Ladies and gentlemen, for years, the semi-precious fantasy footballers ring of honor.

has recognized only those bold enough, those slightly above average enough, and those shameless enough to induct themselves. But tonight, the bar must be raised. After an exhaustive selection process, conducted entirely by a committee of one, only one man has been deemed worthy of an honor greater than all those that came before him.

His lifetime achievements are far too expensive to list here this evening and largely irrelevant to this decision. Tonight, the Fantasy Footballer's Hall of Fame is proud to welcome a husband, a father, a friend, and now a Hall of Famer. Ladies and gentlemen, please join us in celebrating as Jason Moore presents Jason Moore.

for enshrinement is the first ever member of the fantasy footballers hall of fame congratulations jason jason more the newest inductee to the fantasy footballers hall of fame wait jason is removing the tarp is that oh somebody grabbed that man a microphone oh okay why we guys i am blown away this is

This is a crazy honor I couldn't have seen coming. Oh, thank you. You are a snake. Um, so I'm, I'm, I'm not really prepared. Andy, did you know this what's happening? I had no idea. I'm not really prepared for this. Excuse me. Uh, all right. Speech, speech, speech, speech. I hate this. I hate all of this. Okay, first of all.
