Buy or Sell: JULIO Dynasty Value + Mailbag Mania - Fantasy Football Podcast

High profile quarterback like they are projected to do, then I'm not confident there. I'm going to take Devante Parker here. And the reason for that is if your scenario comes through, like, okay, if he has Fitzpatrick, he's great. If he doesn't, then he devolves into the same situation Terry McLaren's already in. Yeah, but to me, it's between Devante Parker and DJ Chark.

DJ Chark, you know, got off to such a strong start last year, you know, when he ended up with Minchu, he was phenomenal. Now I expect Minchu to come in, win the job, and, you know, DJ Chark dealt with injuries, the second half of the year. So I agree with you that, you know, okay, then it's a bad situation like Tara McLaurin already has. But where do you stand between those? This is a really, really difficult situation.

I don't want to just buy into the fact, okay, Devante Parker was a top 10 guy last year. Let's just take the guy who finished his top 10 and not even account for how awesome Terry McLaurin was. And that was his rookie year. I mean, he's going to make the jump. Like the second year jump could happen for Terry McLaurin and launch him into becoming in elite player at the wide receiver position. He will be hamstrung likely by Haskins.

Haskins showed a little bit. Washington's also flirting with the idea that they just grab a different quarterback. So I don't want to instantly dismiss Terry McLaurin. Man, this is a really, really difficult question to answer right now. I think if I had to do it, just lock it in right now, I would probably still end up taking Parker. I think that's okay. I mean, because you talk about taking a second year leap or something from McLaren. Look.

We all love Terry McLaurin, the talent here. Parker put up 1,2009. Right. He took the leap. Yeah, you know, and again, the Year 5 leap. That everyone was waiting for. Classic year five leap. Yeah, that's the year where you always go from about 300 yards receiving in one touchdown to about 1,200 and 9. But in year 5. And then I know we all watched Parker and we saw it. This wasn't, it didn't look fluky.

But what are the chances for Devante Parker that was just this one magical season he had with Fitzpatrick where he just kind of had it figured out and then it goes back to being... I would say one in five. If I set the line at a thousand yards receiving in five touchdowns, are you giving the nod to McLaurin? Are you giving the nod to Parker to hit that mark next year? I think that's a good way to look at it. I would give the nod to DeVante Parker. I think he's...

the safest of these three. And I don't know how much more upside McLaurin or Charkab over Parker. So I'm going Parker here. Mike's right. I mean, it's not an easy question. And it's one that you'd like to delay your answer on for as long as possible. I'm sure he just asked because it's fun. Like this is what we're, it's like we're us with our keepers. I'm still doing the keeper dance. Oh, yeah. And I don't have to lock them in for her.

Whatever, like two months? No, the best is when you think you've made your mind up so you tell everyone around the office. You're like, guys, I figure out what I'm going to do. It's definitely these players and these players. And then like a week later, you're like, yeah, I've completely changed my mind because I've played out another scenario. Well, did you hear this? This clown over here is trying to send Melvin Gorn to Detroit so we can blow up all my keepers. Talking about anonymous Jason? Yes. Well, no, this was real Jay. No, I, I don't know if you guys know this, but I was actually.

on that episode. Were you? That you were talking about that. Yes. I was sitting there in that chair, Mike, saying nothing. Oh, I don't recall. You weren't here. And Jason completely buried the fact that I had picked Gordon to Detroit before he did. So now we've got two of us trying to root you. I see what's going on.

So I see what's happening. But I couldn't say anything. So YouTube community question from Brady. Have any of you guys ever mastered true thoughts on a player on the podcast in order to help your own fantasy football team? No. Basically leaning into hype you don't actually believe in. No. Maybe in the first three episodes of the show about five years ago. So we haven't done this. It sucks because a lot of times I don't want to say something on the show, but I will always, always, always.

Say it even if it is to my own detriment. If I'm trying to trade for a player and I know they're going to hear me talk them up, I'm always Foot Clan first. And I know all three of us are. We will always speak what we believe to be true. But I do remember the email correspondence that we found between you two gentlemen when you were contemplating starting this whole venture about doing this and your biggest worry.

Was that? Yes. That you were emailing back and forth and like, oh, man, but then all of the league banks would know what we want. And that was a legit concern at that point. We weren't three straight title matches. You guys were terrible. We were making also zero dollars from the podcast. So it was a matter of, look, that league was more important at the time. I can tell you now that when we spend our Sundays rooting on games, it's about whether our picks come to fruition for the foot clan.

more than it is our teams. And if they can both align, it is a great and wonderful Sunday. That's a great Sunday. Yes, it is. All right. Let's go ahead. And this is another important YouTube community question here. For draft potlucks, do you bring chili with or without beans? Discuss your preference, chili with or without beans for those draft potlucks. By the way, YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers. Look, I'm a meat eater. And I love meat. But chili has beans.

That's how I view it. Like, beanless chili is... I think... It's meat sauce. Yeah, exactly. That's 100% right. Which is super good. I'm not... Yeah, I'm not disparaging meat sauce. I could take some meat sauce. I like meat. I would eat plenty of meat sauce, but it's not chili. Yeah, I mean, you are correct in the fact that, like, if you get chili without beans, it's called chili with no beans.

It's not chili. It's not called chili. Here's the problem now. Or am I wrong? I've had the chili with too much beans. Sure. I don't want just bean chili. Meatless chili. That's bean sauce. You want bean sauce or meat sauce? No, just give me some chili. That's a nice combination of the two. I think we've broke this down in a real way. Yeah, all right. If I want beans in. If I had to choose between.

Chili with too much beans or chili with no beans and just meat, I would go that side. So apparently, according to Google, the proper definition of chili is the correct marriage of bean and meat. Oh, all right. So we did it. I made that up. Oh, okay. Because you didn't Google it. All right. I think we've exhausted that one. Yeah. Instagram question from Kyle Besh.

How do you guys compare future draft picks versus current players in dynasty leagues when considering trade offers? So usually I am going to prefer existing players over draft picks because one has proven they can do it in the NFL and one hasn't. There's a lot more upside and risk with draft picks over what you know you have. But I mean...

You know, it's really, Dynasty more than Redraft has so much philosophy in how you want to build a roster. I think all three of us are much more on the side of having veterans and known commodities who just help you actually win a championship versus potential and hope of being dominant someday. I want to illustrate that point if you'll give me a moment. No.

Well, never mind that. No. Okay. I just want to read to you the second round picks from last year's rookie draft. All right. Straight through. All right. Andy Isabella. Paris Campbell. Hakeem Butler. Uh-oh. JJ Saga Whiteside. Noah Fant? Who picked that one? Do you want? That was you, Jason. Oh, okay. Good pick. Are you taking a victory lap on Fant right now? All right. Do you want that one to count as a good pick? Yes. All right. Justice Hill.

Devon Singletary. Oh, great pick. Dwayne Haskins. Irv Smith. Ooh, big Irv. Damien Harris. Alex Barnes. Rodney Anderson. Hey, that one can't. That one's a great pick. It's not that the picks aren't valuable. I heard one good pick. It's not that the picks aren't valuable. But, and then if you go beyond that, Miles Boykin, Madison, Bryce Love, Mike Weber, Darwin Thompson, Deontay Johnson.

Yeah, I count that one for sure. It's not even that. It's a steel in the third round. But a good friend of the show, Ryan McDowell, he recently tweeted out the first round ADP of like how many years have we got here like six years or so. If you want to see a horror show, go look at the draft picks because it is just brutal. And we're talking as early as.

2018, Saquan. Okay, easy, peasy. Everyone was going to take Saquan. Darius Geis. Hasn't worked out. Nick Chub, great pick. Rashad Penny. Ronald Jones. Sony Michelle. Royce Freeman. DJ Moore, great pick. I mean, but like that's the first round. Yeah, that's the first round. Those are the highest. And that, and that's the point here is that.

what you know and see with the you know we talk about all these metrics that are sticky what is the greatest way when you're looking at rookies and when you're looking at redraft what is the greatest methodology to find success and there is literally nothing that comes anywhere near as close to previous success yes in the NFL if you've done it

You can do it and probably will again until you hit the end of your career or some, you know, major shift on your team. So, yeah, we're usually a vet over draft pick type of. Yeah. If you look at last year's first round, it was much better. There were a handful, you know, that Daryl didn't make an impact. Nickyell, Harry didn't make an impact. Hawkinson, you know, really not great. Yeah, we'll see. Everybody else in our first round was okay, Jacobs and Sanders.

Montgomery, Kyla Murray, Metcalf, A.J. Brown. But 30 NFL rookies aren't taking over the NFL offenses each and every year. Correct. All right. This one from Twitter. Sorry, actually, from Instagram. From. Oh, my. Bagardian. Oh. Hey, ballers. Love the show. I want to join a Dynasty League. I want to join a Dynasty League. Where does this brother from another mother go to figure that out? And then he gives a fist bump.

Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of different places. But if you don't know where to go, I would recommend footclanleagues.com. Foot Clan leagues, that's, you know, look, that's our people. That's our audience, our listeners. You can join online leagues. You can join local leagues. Get to know some friends in your area. You know, everybody that is there, obviously, is, is, they're more committed.

And, you know, they're like-minded in the sense that they're coming from this show. They like fantasy to be taken serious but also have a ton of fun. Well, think about this. Sometimes people view this show, this is to our own viral detriment, as the secret, right? You find the show and you don't want to tell anybody about it. So why go join a league with other people that might listen to the show?

because it's a lot better than playing in a league with four or five, six people that don't care and ruin the league for everybody else. A competitive environment, a fun environment, one filled with trades and communication and all of those dynamics. Even, you know, thinking up the right rules and the right ways to play, that's more fun. That's more enjoyable. It's like, why do I keep playing pickleball against Owl Bordland? Nobody knows. Right, because you just keep beating up on them. I just keep beating them over and over and over.

You need to find a league. I do. Foclanleagues.com. Pickleball leagues. We're adding them. Happy birthday, brother. That's 100% not true. I mean, just to be clear, it's 100% true today. That is 100% true. Okay. All right. YouTube question. Andrew Nelson. Kenyon Drake or Austin Echler in 2020? I will go with Kenyon Drake. I assume he will get more money than Austin Echler got. To me, this is 100%. What are the chances that

that Kenyon Drake ends up back on the Cardinals. And I have that as a low percentage, so I will take Austin. I'll say if you're deciding right now then, so you're taking Ackler. I'll take Drake. I think he's going to go to the Cardinals. And someone else pays him a good chunk of money. It's going to be a great, he's going to go to Houston. Yeah, but he's been in a different system and had no fantasy success. Austin Echler was a top running back this year. Kenyon Drake has had.
