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

Oh, gosh. No, no, no. I'd like to thank Andy and Mike, with whom I couldn't be here. I really mean it, guys. Okay. You're a big part of this. Okay. And I hope that one day you both are able to join me in the Fantasy Footballers Hall of Fame. Hey, you have my vote. Wait, is this better than the Ring of Honor? It is better than the Ring of Honor. It's so much better. It's a step above Ring of Honor, which you are the only entry in. All right. I'm two times. I'm two times.

I'd like to thank my family who has my heart and soul and are here to support me today. What is happening? I couldn't do this without you. I'm especially glad that my children are here for the first time so I can embarrass them by saying something like, see, I told you your dad was famous. What is happening? And finally, I'd like to thank the Foot Clan, the undefeated, incomparable, beautiful, funny.

sexy, strong, intelligent, emotionally available, financially solvent, perfectly hydrated, high credit scored, and suspiciously fertile, footland. Somehow, despite all of that, you're still willing and wanting to watch us three middle-aged dads argue about fantasy football like our lives depend on it. Foot Clan, this fake honor is for you!

There's lights and everything? Okay. Okay. Where do we go from here? Okay. He's got a jacket. He has a bust. That was unbearable. Okay, so I've got to give a little bit more context here. Okay, two days ago. What? Two days ago.

No, everybody on our team has been in on this like six months. Not everybody. Not these guys. Two days ago, a really dumb NFL owner did what started this whole thing and he decided to induct himself into his Hall of Fame. You don't even know how close I was to getting it a third time. No, no, no, you don't know because Andy had the idea and he went to Jeremy.

And he said, hey, I want to induct myself to the Hall of Fame. I was doing this on the Monday show, man. And everybody was doing it. Everybody in that bullpen who knew this bit was happening was like, oh, no. Is that why he wasn't quite as excited for it as I thought? Because he was scared out of his mind that you were going to wreck it. I'm the first. All right, back to the bold predictions. Oh, my God. I hope you start sweating from that jacket. I was earlier thinking, gosh, I got to put on a jacket later. Oh, my gosh.

Andy, we have so many people to fire. I know. I know. I'm building the list. All right. What just happened? Yeah. Yeah, he's got. Like, people like, Mike is laid out. It did not know this was happening. All you had, you just have on. Yeah, you just have some honor. He has fame. I'm a Hall of Famer. Anyways, as the first. How do you get back to the show from that? Well, we go with.

The Hall of Famer's bold prediction, of course. I have nothing to hold up or where. Here, you can hold on to this. You're going to love it. No, no. As the first Hall of Famer, I'd like my first bowl prediction to be one of my classics. Oftentimes at live events, I have called the fantasy trap team, the team that... I hate you. Has to, yeah. Yes. That has done poorly. All the way back to 2016, the Carolina Panthers.

The Washington Redskins the next year, both of those teams collapsed. You predict the demise fantasy-wise for certain teams. Yes. The way I can predict the demise of most of our employees after this event. Exactly. Really good. The Cleveland Browns are up. Remember when.

Baker and OBJ as the Browns were the hotness. Yeah, yeah. That was my bus team that year. The 22 Dallas Cowboys, the hotness. Zeke didn't finish the top 15 running back. That got injured as bad. Now, I also did predict the 2018 Patriots and they won the Super Bowl. You said it was the beginning of the end. And they won the Super Bowl. So here's what I'm saying. Either I'm right or they're going to win the Super Bowl. Yes. Yes. It's pretty binary. And my fantasy trap team this year.

is the Jacksonville Joy Killers. You're not going to like it. You're not going to like it. But listen, I'm a Hall of Famer. You can't touch me now. Where did you get that jacket? I don't want to know the answer to any of those questions. You're going to like the way I know Mike. I guarantee it. There's no way men's warehouse did that jacket. No, no, no. I did pay for this. Oh, personally. Oh, yeah. Okay.

It's better. Yeah. So here's the thing. The Jacksonville Jaguars are really exciting, fun, hot offense. Liam Cohen. Give me the Leon Cohen drop. Oh. I did hit it a couple times. Yeah, there you go. By the way, it worked. They're very, very exciting. You know, Trevor Lawrence, everything goes to him. So let's start there. Trevor Lawrence, I've talked about this. He's in line for some major, major regression.

He's a horse boy. Way to take it down from joy and excitement. Dude, nothing can take it down for me. I don't know what you're talking about. I feel great. He had nine rushing touchdowns last year. Four of those were the results of red zone scrambles the most in the NFL for context. Lamar Jackson hasn't done that in the last four years. Like that is not repeatable. So if you take his rushing touchdowns away, you look at the backs, the hotness.

Bachel Tutin, everybody wants him. He's being drafted as like, you know, a back end RB2 because a good offense. What's the conversation between Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr.? Which one? Which one? How about maybe neither? Do you realize that Jacobi Myers out-targeted Parker Washington 61 to 51 after the trade to Jacksonville? He's still there. Oh, and then you've got Travis Hunter who, while he himself is not playable for fantasy,

He's going to be on the field. He's going to have targets. He's going to have touchdowns. Those will come at the expense. And don't forget Brenton Strange, who was on pace for 85 targets last year. If Trevor Lawrence Horseboy does not rush for nine touchdowns and all of these good wide receivers are involved, there is a very good chance that...

pretty much everybody on this team disappoints. And I know that, you know, Mike, you like Tutin the way that I like Hampton. I'm not even listening to you. But the truth is, Crod is very possibly a goal line back with Quinn Allen might be a passing downs back. And I just think that this team could actually be good, could work for the NFL offense. And I think there's a solid to really good chance at every single pick.

you're just not happy to play weekend and week out. That sucks. Yeah. Because Jacksonville should be awesome. Jacksonville should be awesome. But there's a chance that there's just too many cooks in the kitchen. But what I'm saying is I think they can be awesome and those players can be bad for fantasy at the same time. It's been an interesting hype ride for two and all off season, the up and down in all around. Mike, you were all the way in. Seemed like a my guy was on the way. Yeah. And you softened a little bit. Yeah. Jason, you're dumb. He's not recovering.

Uh, please address me as Hall of Famer Jason Moore. I'm... Rules are rules, Mike. People don't understand I'm not doing a bit. We had zero clue. I'm so mad about this. He's so mad. Oh. Um, you want to hear one more and on the positive side? Yeah, we got one more. I think it's positive. Um, we're in Arizona. Uh-oh. Things, things, things are tough out here. Uh-oh. All right.

Things are tough out here in the streets of Arizona for this team. And I am here today on this beautiful evening to tell you what shouldn't be a statement that is bold at all. And yet feels like the most bold take of all time. It feels like the most bold take of this day. Marvin Harrison Jr. is finally good. He's good. He's good in football. He's going to be good. Top 15 fantasy wide receiver.

Leads Arizona in fantasy points and the entire state of Arizona collectively. Did you say top 15? Top 15. The whole state of Arizona unclinches their butt cheeks because he's good. It's happening this year. And I want everybody in the building to remember this moment. And if you've listened to the show the entire offseason, you know we have no interest in saying something good about this team. We, we.

hate this team most often. They're not a serious organization. We want to love, but we can't become vulnerable because we know what the outcome is going to be. That might be true. It is the worst. You don't have to win. That's not the game that we play. They have the worst schedule I've ever seen in my entire life. Owen 11 seems guaranteed. But Marvin Harrison Jr. this year for fantasy, finally good. Here's the story of Maserati Marv, all right?

62 for 8, 85, and 8 as a rookie. It wasn't bad for a rookie season. It's really not that bad. Last year, absolutely weird. Played 12 games, went 41 for 608, and 4. These numbers through two years are not the worst NFL numbers you've ever seen. They are absolutely horrific for a fourth overall pick, generational prospect, son of Marvin Harrison.

Those are the worst numbers that that type of person that his son could be putting up. But here's what was weird about last year. You had a concussion. You had appendicitis. You had a foot injury. You had a quarterback change. You had a coaching change. And at some point, that is not a season. That is a game of Oregon Trail. That is a season riddled with dysentery. Your season was ruined. They tried to fjord.

They tried to fjord the river. You lost three oxen. You made me say fjord. And guess what? Seventh round pick. Seventh round pick for Marvin Harrison Jr. In games or he was actually healthy with Jacoby, this is where you got to let the burns go. You can't like carry last season into this year, into your draft. 8.8 targets per game for Marvin Harrison. 14.4 PPR points per game.

And whenever he gets seven or more targets, he's been at nearly 17 fantasy points a game. And what happened when Wilson, McBride, and Harrison were together? I know it was brief. I know it was a moment in time. He led the team at Target chair ahead of Trey McBride. Like, I think the thing out there is the expectations were so unconscionably high. And for good reason, you should not go number four and be at this point in your career without.

breaking records and being great for fans. You still can't handle his jacket, can you? What about this? I love him. You're handsome. Where did you even get that, Etsy? Marvin. You guys did pay for that. We did pay for that one. Yeah, that one you did. Yeah, he bought the jacket. I bought the jacket. I had a feeling we paid for something. We paid in a lot of ways. But to close it out, I think Marvin Harrison, Jr. will actually be good. And a final point there.

Mike LaFleur in Arizona, great play caller, and what he did with Devante Adams, with the Rams, 14 touchdowns in 14 games. He can use a big, talented goal line receiver. If you're in drafts coming up this weekend and next weekend, the price is nice for Marvin Harrison, Jr. He is going to be actually, mercifully, incredibly wonderfully, finally good. Marvin Harrison, Jr.

He's going to be okay. So those are our bold predictions, but that doesn't mean the show's over because we have 800-foot clan in the building. We have a mailbag drop about to happen. And y'all got to help us out with this. We have your questions coming up. I want to hear the greatest mailbag we've heard for any live show we've ever done. In honor of Hall of Famer. Hall of Famer.

Are you guys ready? Let's. Yeah, let's go, 9-99. Let's do it. Hit it, Jeremy. Mailbag. That was a good one. That was very good. I feel like you were on tone and everything. We got the recliner people stood up. Today's mailbag is sponsored by our friends who helped put on this show, GMC. We've got questions from each and every one of you out there. Thank you to everybody that sent them in. We picked some out.

If I say your name and you want to shout and not lie about it, that's cool. But our first question comes in from Earl Snyder. Is Earl somewhere in the building? No. Earl. Was that Hurl? That's not Earl Snyder. He says this. He says, can you give my friend Nick a recommendation for the fourth pick in a draft we have on Sunday?
