Fantasy Football 2018 - Forgotten Players, Beckham Rumors, The Woke One

Kenny. Yeah, Kenny Stills is the wide receiver. I want Kenny Stills on my baseball team. I think you guys are proving my point. Oh, no. It's rough. It's rough. It's rough in the Miami streets right now. Yes. The Jets have agreed to terms with TP himself. Oh, he's back. Man, this has been for the nicknames and this show's ability to entertain.

Chris and Michael and now Terrell Pryor back, signed by the Jets, tons of opportunity. This could be a lot like. I think it's a great sign. Yeah, it's like it was in Cleveland. He could be a centerpiece of the offense. And you've got Josh McCown. Are you going to do this again? No, I'm going to do this again? The Terrell Pryor. No, no, no. I'm not hyping him up. I'm just saying for the Jets, this is a, this was a great signing, a low risk. You get Terrell Pryor for a year. Do you know the money on this deal? Does anybody know the.

No, I was just looking it up on Spotrek, and they still do not have information on it. Okay. It cannot be very much. While he was in talks with Seattle as well. And we don't know, you know, look, there's always over under $6 million. I'll take the under. I'll take the over if we're talking both years. I thought it was a one year. Is it more than a one year deal? Is it two? I'm only seeing the one. Yeah, I thought it was a one year deal. I'm going to say $6 million. That's my guess.

Well, you can't. You said over under. Six point five, then. I'll take the over. All right. All right. The Cowboys, this is an interesting signing. They have picked up Alan Hearns, formerly of the Jags, who was cut last week, two-year $12 million deal, ironically, $6 million per year. And then Deonte Thompson, also signed by the Cowboys. The Hearns signing was after the Deonti Thompson signing, which now makes the Deonti Thompson signing just...

Seemed really bad. The depth chart right now in Dallas was going to be before the signing, it was Des and Beasley. And it hurt Terrence Williams. Yeah. I mean, you have depth. I prefer in fantasy football to just ignore the existence of Terrence Williams. That's perfectly fine. That seems the appropriate decision. And Ryan Switzer. It just, it was.

The signing of Hearns, I thought was fantastic for Dallas. It just, it stinks that you would. Switzer and Beasley aren't going outside and Terrence Williams is recovering from a broken foot and questionable for even the offseason program. Yeah, exactly. I was going to bring that up about the foot. But I also think the Thompson signing is good from a standpoint. They don't really have a speed guy. Yeah, they do. Alan Hurons. I don't see him. Yeah, I mean, I post. Alan Huron seems more of a full route tree, fill the outside, compete with Terrence Williams, Deonti Thompson's depth.

downfield, Bryce Butler replacement. That's how it looks to me. But Alan Hurts, let's talk about him. If Des is beyond his prime, which I think I might even have you guys both agreeing with that. No. I do not agree with that. Well, we're a majority. Statistically agreed with it. If Des is kind of, and right now they haven't even talked to him about a contract yet, there's still a chance that they go wide receiver in the first round, and Des Bryant is getting pushed towards the door. That would be just...

But regardless. Four football decisions. Alan Hurst, does he win the outside job? Yes. Alan Hurons will be the starter. I think there's a lot of people who you think that Terrence has that job right now and Alan Hurons has to fight him off. No, I say the contract puts Alan Hurons in the driver's seat. And I would also add that the talent puts Alan Hurons in the driver's seat. Brooks, that makes you feel good as a Dallas fan, doesn't it? Oh, yeah. The Terrence Williams deal was four year 17 million. Well, that was a mistake.

Well, I agree, but you're acting like the money for Hearns meant that Williams wouldn't be able to compete. I think they... There was a clerical error, and Terrence Williams somehow got that contract. How'd you like to be the Eagles? You've replaced Tori Smith with Mike Wallace, a one-year $2.5 million contract and an upgrade. Stop helping the Eagles! Oh, is this changed from a stop helping the pads to a stop helping? It's ridiculous. The moves that they were able to... Yeah, but you can't get a repeat Super Bowl without helping those two teams.

The circular logic of moving pieces that they've been able to do that eventually turned into changing Tori Smith into Mike Wallace, who's been far more productive. He's way cheaper for them. And it's way cheaper. I mean, hats off Philadelphia. I think this is insurance if Matt Collins doesn't develop too. You've got a veteran piece there. Someone who can still, probably can't, he can't stretch the field like he used to.

He really can't. He's still fast. Yeah, he is. When you look at next-gen stats last year, he was faster than Tori Smith. Yes. So they literally upgraded the speed over Tori Smith. Well, they didn't exactly capitalize on Tori Smith speed last year either. So those are two guys aging downfield. The Jaggs have re-signed Corey Grant. So there's just them signing, him signing the Tinder. Correct. So a one-year deal for the Jaguars. Somebody did it pay attention to deep, deep pick, dynasty pick. Yeah. Seahawks would he signed Mike Davis to a one-year deal.

It's interesting. So right now we have Chris Carson and Mike Davis heading up the backfields. It was interesting that they chose not to tender Mike Davis. I mean, they won because they didn't tender him and they've re-signed him. But he would be the backup to Chris Carson if Seattle doesn't do anything right now, in my opinion. You also know that DeMarco Murray visited Seattle and then they ended up signing Mike Davis to a one-year contract. So they must have felt that that was a better decision for their depth.

Probably going to draft somebody. Damien Williams signs with the chiefs. One year, $1.5 million deal. Jason, I can't remember. He used to say something specific about Damian Williams. What was it exactly? Yeah, I think Damian Williams sucks. Oh, he's upgraded. I was going to say it used to be stinks. Okay. Well, I apologize to Mrs. Williams. Brooks, do you have the R-rated version? Are we iTunes R-rated? No. Yeah, this is explicit. Okay. This is also why I think that.

Look, Kenyon Drake, he's got Damien Williams out of the way, and the only guy there is Frank Gore as of right now. That's why I like Kenya Drake with Damien Williams. Now, Damien Williams moving over to the Kansas City Chiefs, this is nothing but a depth move, a special teams move. Damien Williams was not as bad on special teams. I wonder if Kenyon Drake is calling Marlon Mack right now saying, dude, what's going to happen? Are they just going to give first and second down to Gore no matter what? Yeah, probably.

All right, battle for the backup role. Drew Stanton, Brock Osweiler, Stanton goes to the Browns, Osweiler to the Dolphins. Who would you rather have as your backup? Stanton. I would much, I've spoke poorly about Drew Stanton before, but if I'm, if I've got a backup. But if you're in a two-story house and you need a wallpaper really high. Oh, Brock Osweiler, for sure. But I mean, which one of them would you rather have?

on the sideline while you've got a player running down towards touchdown. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's historic level. True. Stirling cheerleading. This is just baffling. Honestly, this is baffling to me by the Cleveland Browns. We talked about it in the office. So I didn't convince you with my argument? No. I think. Not at all because you have you, you, you, you, you traded a third for Tyrod Taylor, who is allegedly your starter. You're going to draft a quarterback at the 101.

And you have Kevin Hogan, which whatever, and you have Cody Kessler. But it was just saying you have signed Drew Stanton if the contract is. This is a move. You're saying, okay, we are absolutely moving forward with three quarterbacks. Hogan and Kaiser are gone. They've got two veterans there to. Well, Kaiser's already going. You mean Kevin? Yes. Kessler. Yes. Yeah. This is a locker room move.

It's just to get a veteran who's been around other professional quarterbacks in the locker room. He's a better backup than Kessler. He's a better backup than Hogan. It's fine. But we should not talk about it anymore in a fantasy football show. Your backup is the 101. That's who your backup is. That's fine. Drew Stanton is, he's jiving in the locker room. He's telling jokes. He's keeping people loose.

I'm not wasting a roster spot for Drew Stanton jokes. Can we get? Oh, they have plenty. Plenty of burner roster spots. When Stanton is done in Cleveland, would you mind calling him and seeing if he wants to come in here? I could use him to liven up things around here. Mike's wearing his black t-shirt, all morose. You're getting it today. That's right. Give like giving you a shoulder massage. Martell has been- You want me to get you a hot towel, Andy? Martellis Bennett has retired from the National Football League.

Oh. Goes out a champion. Yeah. Lastly, goes out a champion. That is correct. What a champion runner up? Is that what you mean? No. Oh, yes, it is. Andy, who won the Super Bowl, my friend? Are you going to blame me for a magic? It's always the Patriots, right? I am going to blame you 100% for that. Because I do a fantasy football show. More importantly.

We don't know anything else about this. And big news could break by tomorrow morning. We don't really know. But Ian Rappaport is talking about O'Dell Buckham Jr. He has come out and said that he will not set foot on a field without a new contract. There have been rumors about the Giants preferring to sign him to a contract versus trading him, but there have also been rumors about the Rams right now. According to multiple NFL sources, Ardian talks with the Giants about possibly trading for O'Do Buckham Jr. Oh, Benanas. What are you doing, New York?

sign Odell Beckham, draft the quarterback at the number two, and have a future. I think that there, here's the, and I'm losing the analogy here. The cog in the wheel, the stick in the wheel. What makes the wheel not roll smoothly? Yeah, stick in the spokes would do it. I've never heard that as like a freeze. Okay. We're going to stay there, though. Okay. The stick in the spokes, as they say, is.

the video that came out featuring Edel Beckham Jr. and the fact that there have been some off the field questions that their ownership has had to answer about Beckham. So you have that variable mixed with the injury recovery, mixed with the young quarterback. Let's say it takes the quarterback two or three years to develop. I can see a world where they are looking at it and saying, let's get rid of the headache. Let's get rid of the money, the cap hit. Let's build for the future. Now look, none of that logic is actually going to come to bear when you have a trade. They're never going to get,

Odell Beckham Jr. back. That's the problem. But I still think the trade could happen based on those reasons. I mean, they missed an opportunity here instead of the Cleveland Browns. If New York just would have brought Drew Stanton in, he could have shored up that locker room. Could have cleaned it right out. Got Odell Beckham back on track. He told some funny jokes.

Oh, no. It's more than that. O'Do, you got to stop, man. It's sage advice as well. Listen, I'm Drew Stain. Nobody has more. Nobody has more brain sales remaining than backup quarterbacks. That's so bad. And therefore, they can give very sage advice and wisdom. Speaking of wisdom, support for today's show comes from Squarespace. Are you ready to start your new business?
