AFC East Breakdown, Kaboodles of Advice

Just $62 bucks. And if you're like me and you buy into the Corey Davis potential, because I'm not even going to call it hype. You need more than like about four catches to get hype for this season. But the potential of Corey Davis, a sign, Titans, Corey Davis jersey, $46 yesterday. Best deals in all of sports memorabilia, longtime partner of the show. If you haven't checked it out, let them know the fantasy footballers sent you. All right, we're moving on? Yep. Bills. Oh, unfortunately.

Well, Chase. Wow. I will say this. Of the three teams we have left to cover, I have a little bit of love to share for one of them, and it surprised it myself. Oh, you declare? I declare. It's not the bills. Here's the thing. I guess I've been pretty supportive of the bills on this show compared to you guys in the last few months. You have this cloud now hanging over LaShawn McCoy.

We don't expect it to affect this season. We don't know. We really don't know anything. There hasn't been any news. But let's put it this way. Well, Sean McCoy was going to be the one volume-filled bright spot of this team. Or at least in Jason's case, you know, like somewhat bright spot. It's a nice dim light. A dim volume. He doesn't disagree with the volume.

No, I don't. I don't. I mean, he's... This was a rushing team, six in the league last year, because of Tyrod Taylor and LaShaul McCoy combining for what they did. Negative point differential, not a lot of weapons right now. Calvin Benjamin can never stay healthy, and even if he is healthy, is he the best number one option for A. Jamie Karen and Josh Allen. If Zay Jones is healthy, no one was worse at catching the ball when he was targeted than Zay Jones last year. It was appalling. Charles Clay?

We've seen what Charles Clay is. I like Charles Clay. But I like Charles Clay like, you know, for what he is. He's not going to become something new this year. Right. He is a middle of the road, productive, not fantasy impressive tight-in. Yeah, I think that's a perfect way to say. He's not fantasy impressive, but he is a fantasy usable tight-end, you know, in the right match. Well, this past season, Charles Clay on this show was Mr. Necessary.

Well, sure. For a reason, because they needed a pass-catching weapon. And that very well may continue this season. They will need pass-catching weapons this year. They've also lost three starters on the offensive line. Cordy Glenn, Ritchie Incognito retired. Eric Wood is gone. And to echo that, pro football focus has projected them as the 29th best.

offensive line in football despite finishing last year as the seventh best. So it feels those losses are huge. And a lot of times we hear from Bill's fans saying, no, this guy's in the wings. They were prepared. Reminds me so much of what we heard last year when the Bengals lost, you know, a.

Big chunk of their line. They're like, no, they were prepped. Guys were in the wings. I trust pro football focuses offensive line gratings. They look at each player that is slotted in and the depth and all of that. I mean, the line's going to be bad. I'm not saying that they don't. Of course. Players emerge and then they become stars. They don't start that way all the time. That being said, this is a fantasy show. Look, I feel like the bills currently, the situation in Buffalo is you're resting on the fact you made the playoffs.

Congratulations. You had a nice year, but normally those teams don't ship off their starting quarterback. So you don't have your starting quarterback. You don't have your offensive line. You don't have pass-catching weapons that are viable. You play in a division with the Patriots. This is like. Kelvin Benjamin is a value. That's what I was going to ask. Where's the actual silver line? Where's the fantasy value? There's always fantasy value. The silver lining is with Kelvin Benjamin. Right now in PPR leagues, he's being drafted as the 48th.

wide receiver off the board. Now, could he finish as the 48th wide receiver? Absolutely. He's, you know, he's slow and plotting, but he's a big bodied guy. And when you get near that end zone, you don't have a lot of options there. I really do think the Calvin Benjamin, I mean, you look at who he's going around. Yeah. Calvin Ridley, Nelson Agilar, you know, Mike Williams, Kenny Stills. And you've got a guy there in Kelvin Benjamin. He's at least the number one on his team. He's the number one on his team. The bills are going to score points.

They're an NFL team. So Kelvin Benjamin is a guy that whenever I am, he ends up on a lot of my roster. He does. I can never do it. Because I can get him so late. And I'm grabbing a. Now, you know, you don't get him in the tight end spot. That would be really nice. That would be nice. He is, I believe his game speed score was dead last in the wide receivers. And then behind several tight ends. I believe it. But he's large. That was going to be my question. Mike, is there a secret diamond?

In the rough in Buffalo. Could it be at the quarterback position? Is there a chance that you get a special performance from Josh Allen this year or something to surprise you? I am looking for hope. I want to draft a bill, Mike. I just want to. If Josh Allen's the quarterback, it's going to be something. All right. When you're here, you're here. Dolphins. All right. I've heard a lot from Dolphins fans. And just Zay Jones.

has to be better. He can't. He can't not. My key to the bill's office is Zay Jones. We had a segment a few weeks ago called Meat on the Bone where players, where they finished for targets as compared to where they finished in for fantasy. And you can see just a very strong correlation. Meanwhile, Zay Jones, I'm trying to pull it up. It was.

It was as bad as you can possibly be. He was he was 50. Oh, 55th in targets. All right. I'm not letting that one go. Hit me. 50th in targets. And 88th in fantasy finish. Yeah, he was terrible. He needed to get his head on straight. And if this offseason is any indication, we're still going to be waiting. Yeah. Oh, I believe in you say. Dolphins.

Dolphins are just interrupting everyone. You wanted positivity. Dolphins. I've got the dolphins as the number two in this division. I think they're going to surprise a little bit. The more that I looked into in preparation for this show, what their offense is like, what their defense is like, and of course the division mates, I think you're going to have a little bit more explosive offense.

than what they've had in years past with, you know, you've got Jarvis Landry, who is such a crutch but quality player. Right. Really being inefficient when it comes to NFL, you know, explosiveness because he's, he's, you know, the short yardage guy. Now you have Kenny Stills, Devonte Parker, on the outside, probably more targets going their way. And I believe that Kenyon Drake is a really good explosive running back paired with Belage, a guy that Andy.

likes, and I want to, I need some music, Andy. Wait a minute? No! No! You can't putt! All right, listen. I have said some really bad things. Oh, Mike's goodness. I can't even. He can't see. I can't even. I've said some bad things about Kaelin Belage, mostly that he's a straight line runner, and he's not any good. And I do not believe that he will translate into NFL success, but I am turning the,

corner a little on my belief that he can't because his weight adjusted speed is incredible his past catching ability is very good and those things to me are more important than your juke ability and your ability to you know you're you're running back moves so if i have to

You know, I'm just putting this against what I always value. And the things that I value are with Belage. I just don't like the film because it seems like he never can beat a guy side to side, ever. So that, you know, but my point is he's explosive. If you're telling me he's not going to be able to, you know, have some breakaway play. Same with Drake. Devante Parker got off to a hot start last year. You guys remember the hype around Parker? Yeah. Preseason was unbelievable. Yep.

And then the first couple weeks were pretty darn good, and then he got injured. And that was all she wrote. This team, I don't know if there's a player more extreme in their possible outcomes than DeVonte Parker. Agreed. Because I think the team will give up on him. If he doesn't produce for them, they have enough other weapons. You know, Grant is still there. We don't even bring up Grant's name. And he produced at the end of the season. If Parker can't do it, they're done with him. It's over.

Stills, Wilson, Amandola, Drake out of the backfield, other weapons, I'm with you. I think that fantasy, you know, fans of the dolphins haven't been happy with us because we haven't spoken very highly of the dolphins. That's been because there isn't that, there's a fantasy football show. There hasn't been that out there in front of you, confident, you know, driving player. Last year you had Landry and Ajai. They're gone.

Now, we've had a lot of debate about Drake. Tanahill returns, and you don't know who's going to, like right now, who's the past catching leader? Who do you want to start? Tell me the answer. You say Devonte Parker. I'm not going to say Parker. I absolutely think Devonty Parker. From a fantasy production standpoint? Yes, from fantasy and from targets. I'm going to say Albert Wilson. I still lean Parker as the number one producer, Wilson for, in terms of receptions. This is very similar to the Patriots-wide receivers.

I see a situation where any of these four guys can become week-to-week fantasy relevant. But the path is, it is not the clear one. It's got snakes. It's got vines that are thorny. It's got quicksand. If you make it through. If you make it through, and I'm with Jason that.

I don't think the team has given up on Devante Parker yet. I don't think they have yet. I think they will give him the full season because he's that first round pick. They'll give him the rope. They'll see if he can break out. They rushed the ball 360 times last season, 31st in the NFL. They have a line that ended 29th in Pro Football Focus's ranking and is projected to be the 20th best this year. Good news. Not great. They're the second best.

offensive line in this division according to PFF. The second best. Yeah, look, I think that there is a gap between, I mean, they may finish second, but not give you a ton of options in the fantasy world. Yeah. That can happen. I mean, the bills were an example of that last year. If you didn't have LaShaul McCoy, who were you starting from the bills last season? You would stream Tyrod and you'd play Shady. And you would stream Charles Clay had his games. But there was nobody you could lean on other than Shady. Sure. Correct.

Are we satisfied? The only other thing I would say is that if you're in a two quarterback league, we often say if you're in a two quarterback league, it's nice to draft three. My favorite third quarterback to get right now is Ryan Tano, because he is unwanted. Even in two quarterback leagues, he rushes enough to where he's going to be a good stream from your roster edition late in drafts. You feel like that will continue even though he re-injured his knee last season doing it. And now is two years.

removed from that? I think he's going to run the ball. I do still believe that from what the reports have been from minicamp. I believe he's going to continue rushing. Interesting. Okay. He did have, I mean, it's going back a little ways. He did have a number eight overall fantasy finish back in 2014, 17th the year after, and then 27th after that with the lost season. Jets. All right, let's talk about the Jets.

So here's a good, Devante Parker and Robbie Anderson going right next to each other in drafts. Give me Robbie. Oh, by a lot. Every day. Yeah. Twice on Sunday. I would agree. You're doing two drafts every Sunday? Sunday's a really big draft day, Mike. It's a big day for football, Mike. Yeah. But if you want Robbie Anderson on a Wednesday, I'd rather have Robbie Anderson on Wednesday. Okay. Yeah, no, I would agree with that. But I do think both are good values in the ninth round versus a Jordy and Markey's Goodwin type.

Robbie Anderson last season burst on the scene, had a six-game stretch during the middle of the season where he had multiple top five finishes and was in the top 24 all six weeks. Look, there is a lot of unknown on this roster. They've added Isaiah Crowell, Terrell Pryor, Quincy and Noonwell comes back from injury, and look, they paid some money for a center. Right. And still not projected to be a great line.

I would say the majority of people expected to be the number one pick in this year's draft, Sam Darnold, to be the backup behind Josh McCown. Maybe. Maybe. We really just, we don't even know if, well, I'm saying he could be the starter. Oh, sure, sure, sure. There's a world where we see that outcome as they move forward with this team. But Isaiah Crowell, that's a fantasy name that people were excited about last season. It did not pan out in Cleveland. And now you go to a situation where you have to kind of shrug your shoulders and say, well,
