Stack Attack! + High Risk Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast for 8/25

to be a like a full-time pro starter. It was funny when Gentie, though, when Gentie seemed like he went down, Underdog put out like how low Gentie went in some drafts and how high Mike Washington went in some drafts. And I believe Mike Washington was drafted at like 37 overall. Holy balls. What? Yeah. And it's it's, um, what? I want to.

It's the combination of the exciting long speed play in the preseason with, oh, you're the only guy. You're the full-time starter somehow. But this is like this is a very bad situation, a team that you don't expect to score a lot and, you know, a day three running back without production. His profile isn't really good. Like AJ Dylan, it reminds me of that a lot where it's like AJ Dylan had a combine like Derek Henry. Yeah, he's not Derek Henry or he would have been in college. Mike Washington.

has a combine like the best of them. But his, you know, is... Well, let's do the exercise then. Okay. Let's pretend Genti did have a season-ending injury. Where does he actually belong in terms of starters? And I think you start to have that conversation. You have it right around the Bayshall-Tooten area. Because if you knew Mike Washington was going to be a starter, you know, Tutton, Price, Warren, Stevenson, these are committee situations. I think Washington would be a committee as well. But I think...

what you're saying is right, but then it was compounded by the long runs and success in the preseason, the explosiveness, those physical gifts on display. I mean, I'm sure you're taking them over Chuba. I'm sure you'd probably take them as a starter. Would you take them over Romandre or Warren? I mean, probably. I don't think so. I think I would rather have the better offense. Maybe Warren. Romandre is on a good offense, and Warren is a, I think I would take Warren ahead as well.

Do you think Mike Washington deserves to be drafted? Yes. You do? Yeah, because we right now. Right now. You know, insurance situation? Well, at the very, at the very least right now, I mean, week one, Genty is rumored to not, we don't know that he's going to be back for week one. The last I saw is, it's potential. He misses week one. So this is where the last was like, we're hearing it's a low ankle sprain. Right. As compared to high. Which would be good. Which.

But that's the thing is we're hearing. Why can't we get an official? Because they don't have to really report that stuff. Mike Washington deserves to be drafted. The preseason has been solid. There's a chance that Gentie misses time. And based off of what this is, I'm not saying Genti won't be like the man for the Raiders, but it's like based off of what Kubiak just did in Seattle, Mike Washington.

might be in the plans to be someone who's getting like 35 to 40% of the of some rushing attempts here if you build zero RB the that's exactly Tyler Ljir and Mike Washington those like guys who yeah exactly like they might be great starters if those are your and if it if it is a high ankle sprain like he'll be out multiple weeks and then he gently won't be ready to go on that first like the first couple weeks

The Texas traded for former Patriots wide receiver, Kishon Booty. They've been trying to get that booty out of town.

What do you guys make of that? Them trading him? No, no. Just that all of the news, the offseason was like, Kisham Booty's, you know, he wants a trade. He, and then it sounded very much like, oh, well, the team is, they're quite open to trading him away. I mean, he was not like a dominant part of their offense last year, but I think he showed that he belongs on a football field. He would have easily been there. He was a great deep threat.

He would have been a starting wide receiver for them. I feel like it was the final year of the contract situation that is hanging over it. They have a lot of other weapons. What's wild to me. But why not ride it out? I think this was for booty. I think this was they, I think they are doing booty assault. Okay. Because when they, when they, they're going to ride, right. Right. Right. Not our fault. Yeah. Kishon.

When Kashon requested a trade, it was like you signed Romeo Dobbs. He was upset for sure. Yeah, you signed Romeo Dobbs and then you sign, you get trade for AJ Brown. You're like, oh, I don't have the opportunity to thrive. He wants a place where he can. And then with the injury for the Texans, it's like, okay, he's at least got the opportunity. Maybe Hutchinson starts the season as the second wide receiver. I think Booty is a better wide receiver. And so in Booty's mind.

He's got the... How many times can he say Booty in one minute? In Cajon Booty's mind, I think he's excited about the opportunity to thrive in a situation where, you know, he doesn't have to overtake two other people ahead of him. Here's something that's not been said. And it'll open up opportunities for Kyle Williams and DiMario Douglas and some other past catchers. What's wild to me is that we're sitting here. This is the team that went to the Super Bowl and the Patriots.

All their, you know, schedule notwithstanding, amazing season, MVP candidate and Drake May. And two of his primary targets last year that were significant contributors to this team were Kashan Booty and Stefan Diggs that are gone. Right. The past catchers are great names with Dobbs and A.J. Brown, but we actually haven't seen them together, right? So, like, it's just a little bit unique to me to have a top five offense passing-wise.

reset all of your past catchers, and then expect it to just work perfectly from day one. I thought somebody shared a tweet, and I put it in the chat somewhere, maybe you guys can find it. It was basically something I would love to actually see for all the teams. And when people speculate about preseason numbers, I tell you, I hate completion percentage. They should be trying new stuff. They should be failing in preseason. I hate it when they go through, and they're like, you mean in camp? In camp, yeah, yeah.

The numbers of like, it was a list of the receptions by pass catchers from New England. Caught from Drake May. Caught by, from Drake May in the entire training camp. And it was like, A.J. Brown was number one. Dobbs was number two. Romandre was number three. Hunter Henry was number four. Like Booty was way up on that list. He was not as high. But yeah, it was, A.J. Brown, Romeo Dobbs. Ramandre Stevenson, DeMario Douglas, Hunter Henry, then Kay Sean Booty.

Don't worry, Trayvion's there just below Eli Raridon. But I would love to see that from every team to get a little bit of an idea of where these guys are going regularly in camp. Like, you want to ask me who the past catchers to roster are? I mean, it's Brown and Dobbs. And Dobbs is not getting nearly enough talk on a team that was a top tier passing percentage offense. We're sitting there, AJ Brown. Like, Dobbs is sitting right there. I agree.

The news on Dobbs has just been kind of weird. There's been a couple days where it was like, oh, hey, it's Romeo Dobbs day. But it kind of few and far between. And then A.J. Brown gets there was talk at the beginning of they're not fully connecting. But the stuff I've been reading lately is very, very positive for A.J. Brown. It's for Dobbs, it's like, how do they actually?

put these wide receivers you know on the field is it the just standard okay we got brown and dobs are going to be on the outside and then douglas will just be the slot player or are they going to move romeo dobs where he'll get to do he'll play some big slot i think they've been i because that would be humonging him around to be a little bit of the big slot which you see in the second you know target pecking order from camp that that role is very valuable historically from the patriots so

I'm open to Dobbs. Like, that's another name where it's like Dobbs or Jacoby Lane. Dodds or Jacoby Lane, I would rather have Dobbs. On the on the booty to Houston side, I have so, I have no interest in any way, shape, and form, prokation booty in Houston from a fantasy perspective. He was on one of the best passing offenses in football last year, played a ton of snaps for them. And still, you know, he had his splash games, but consistency-wise it was trouble.

He's touchdowner boss. Yeah, to me it's just, that's a tough thing to ask of C.J. Stroud and a defense and a running game offense. I don't know. I just, I don't care. I think Booty will be, if anything, he's just, he'll be on the waiver show when Hutchinson inevitably is overtaken. Breece Hall on track to play week one. He was dealing with the groin. Must the butterfly stretch. By the way, we did an embarrassing butterfly stretch analysis of all staff members yesterday. Some of you.

Papa Josh. Impressive. Papa Josh must have tore those groins as a young man. Doesn't have them anymore. No restrictions. Knees to the ground. But on the other hand, Al Borland has work to do. I do. Not a, not a butterfly that could really get off the ground, I don't think. You know what I mean? That was a caterpillar stretch. I tried flapping those wings. Yeah, you could. Got a lot of crisscross apple sauce going on, eh? Oh, yeah. No, I love chairs. The news about Ashen Jensis. I use nature's chair.

ankle sprain more low than high. That's good. Hopefully. We'll see. More low than high. It's such a weird phrase. The high versus low is like different ligaments. I don't, it's not literally like a percentage of direction. I don't get it. Trayvon Henderson has been diagnosed with a low right ankle injury and will undergo further precautionary tests. Malik Neighbors was wearing a non-contact jersey on Monday's practice.

reasonable to assume he will be ready for week one according to John Harbaugh. That's big news. Chikori Kraski Merritt injured is growing. Yeah. Thank you. Sorry. That was honestly embarrassing at this time. Well, I was not be ready. I was reading because we have in Monday's practice, but I think I had read something that it actually happened last Thursday. Rashad White returned to individual drills. So there's a little flippy floppy of availability for the running back room.

Trey Benson, set free by the Cardinals, released. What a great third round pick he was. I saw one play yesterday. He had one play with Arizona that accounted for 11.5% of his total yards on the team ever. That's how he utilized he was in Arizona. Dude could not stay healthy. Well, I mean, year one, he was buried behind James Connor, who at that point was still playing very good football. And then he couldn't stay healthy. This was, if you're a...

Benson believer like I am, this was the only way forward. It's, I mean, it's probably over. But if he stayed on the Cardinals, there was no path at all. Michael Flores said Monday, Jeremiah Love is progressing in his recovery from a high ankle sprain and will remain sideline this week. Is that, now I know the rumors were the high ankle. Does that like an actual confirmation of it? I don't know. Okay. I saw it reported as high ankle, but I did too, but I thought it was, they were like, we're not sure.
