Players We're Afraid to Be Wrong About - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/2

Yeah. Which seems to match all other actions external of that relationship in the public and everything he's been doing. He does not have an extension with the Rams. The fact that he doesn't have an extension with the Rams. There are behind the scenes, there have to be questions. How in the world does a player that good? So important to your Super Bowl, you know, odds on favorite champion roster, not have an extension for a player like that. I mean, this is one of the best wide receivers.

performance-wise in the NFL. And the NFL has come out and said, you know, players like Puka Nakua, Rashah Bateman's matters, still under review by the National Football League. Am I nervous to take him at, I mean, we have a draft on Monday that I'm pretty sure he's going to go number two. But it's nerve-wracking to do that. This is not, oh, man, it's not Rashad Bateman, where he's the last pick of your draft. You're like, whatever happens, happens. This is very good chance if you take Buka and something happens. Your season ends.

Because losing your first, I mean, not necessarily, but you lose your first. It's like CMC's injuries. You know, it's going to be massive. You have a gigantic hole that you have to dig out. Let's assume the first three picks are Gibbs, Bijan, Jamar Chase. So then this is why the question is, would you still take Puka at four? Because that's where the questions really start. I would personally, as of this moment knowing whatever we don't know, I would rather draft Christian McCaffrey, Amman Raw, JSN.

And then I get really questionable on the Jonathan Taylor James Cook. So I'm pushing him back down the first round for me. Okay. But it's not, not too far. Would you, would you guys rather draft the Jonathan Taylor James Cook tier of running back or the Pook? I would take Pook because I want to win the league. And I think Pook is, I think Pook is worthy of being the number two pick in the draft. Sure. Mike? I think.

At this point that moving him behind J.S.N. and Amin Ra is probably just the, like, those guys are awesome. Yeah. You know. If all people play 17 games. Yeah. You're, it is, it's probably in terms of like fantasy tiers, it would be a step down. But with a pick that high to still get the production from, that you would expect from JASN or Amin Ra.

I think it might be worth it now. The Rams are not deep at wide receiver, and they haven't added anybody, and that is one of the only saving graces I have right now. They haven't even added a Kalam Johnson equivalent at wide receiver, unless you count the trade for two-two, which maybe you can. I count Terrence Ferguson. Yeah, I know you do. You're a little too, I mean, you're maybe not too, but you're just very. I don't know. You're very Fergie-licious. This reminds me of when Jason loved Mark Andrews, and we were like, what are you talking about?

And then Mark Andrews was like the tight in two that year. TBD, he hasn't done anything yet, but the opportunity for a great offense, and I think he's a really good player. But he's in a, I mean, it's dumb. It's a last round dart throw hopeful projection. One more. Okay, sorry. No, I'll just say it's not something you can like easily say, well, obviously this is coming. There's just a pathway that you could see how it comes in.

If it comes, it's a really high upside pick. I like this one just real quick, but from off of YouTube from Nick, am I crazy to take AJ Brown over JJ or CD? Uh, not crazy, no. No, I don't think so. Jack wants to know best tips for the Megalobole as we close things out. Well, I mean, this is a tournament style play. So genuinely, I don't look at, you know, matchups and, and.

Things like that. You got to win for individual. But let's be honest. Like the top six out of every 12 teams get in the playoffs. You just have to be top half. But you have to make the playoffs. So I am looking at the schedule in the, you know, in the fantasy playoff weeks. Look at that week 17, you know, I guess week 18. Well, they're very competitive. I mean, when are you saying to look at those? I'm saying even in your draft. Oh, man. Not me. Like.

If you want to win the actual league, you've got to go for extreme high upside. You've got to have a few players that really break out. And obviously, you can't only fill a roster with high volatility. You're not going to get to the championship for that, but you do need a handful of those, like, nuclear options. Running back seem to go higher in Megalibald drafts. So do my guys. So you're competing with a ton of footclam people.

Something to keep in mind with those drafts starting up on September 4th. You can get in there, Megalobole.com. That was The Mailbag, presented by Paramount Plus.
