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

Because they're not saying anything. I'm assuming there's also degrees. Well, it's more high than low. Yeah, I just mean like there's got to be a worse or better. Yes, there are great. High ankle spraying grade-wise. We had a mild setback for Keaton Mitchell, who had missed practice on Sunday and Monday. I mean, he was flashing in the preseason. They want to utilize him, but if he can't stay healthy, which has been a problem for Keaton Mitchell. True. I mean, he missed an entire year in Baltimore and had other injuries.

That's something to pay attention to. You would love Omarine Hampton to get some pass-catching third down work that would be going to Keaton Mitchell to concentrate it a little bit. That's the biggest concern. Brian Thomas Jr. is, quote, all right. After falling on his shoulder, there was some news reports this morning that... All right. All right. That he was down and people were worried. And then...

This is exciting. This is terrible news for Michael Pennix. Kevin Stefansky said Michael Pennix and Tuo Tongue Vilo will split first team reps on Monday. I saw the stats. Pennix, you've got to have a setback, brother. Pinix was four for eight. So you can start. Yeah. And Tuo was 0 for 3. Yeah. So all that. Man, that is. Oh, boy. What they wouldn't do for should do or Sanders over there. Am I right? And then Alan Robinson. The target monster. The last time we over here I say that.

officially retiring. He was a my guy for Mike in 2015. Oh, yes, he was. Yes, Jacksonville. That is. That was a good one. He led the league in touchdowns. Yeah, that was a great year. That was a pro bowl year for Alan Robinson. Alan Robinson, great player. Thank you for the, uh, didn't have the career. I think we might have hoped from that point forward. No, no, he didn't. But the target monster was awesome. It got me, I believe, League of Record Championship that year.

You have, yes. He had that play down the sideline. Oh, yes, the Saints. I think you said you. I was in my boxers. High kicking in the living room. Yes, sir. That's what I remember. The title is mine. I guess you remember it too, huh? Let's do some mailbag. Mailbag. Mailbag. Damn. If you have a question for the show, go to the website. The fantasy footballers.com.

Or dial our voicemail hotline. We have a couple of voicemails today. 302464 TFFB. We'll start with one of those. Hey, ballers. Just wanted a quick question on a keeper that I have in an upcoming league. Should I keep Cam Scataboo with my ninth round pick? Or should I keep Quinshan Judkins with my 16th round pick? Thanks. Love the show. Man, that's such a good question. Cam Scataboo for a ninth, Quinshan Judkins for a 16th.

I think you've got to start with just who do you like more? Because the ninth round is where, you know, that's where I'll start taking quarterbacks. I'll start taking my late tight ends because the running backs and wide receivers there are, you know, they're not exactly the guys that are high odds to be good. So if you, if you're like definitely on the scataboo side, I don't think the value from 9 to 16 is worth switching, but the question is which side are you on right now with the recent kind of.

vibes that it's not going to be the Scataboo show. They bring in Najee. The way that they've been talking, it just doesn't seem like he's going to be a three down back. Although Tyrone Tracy feels like he has really just... He's a zero down back. Oh, man. I mean, his preseason... I'll take Cam here. Oh. And you're Mr. Judkins. Yeah. I'll take Cam here because you know what? You can talk a big game about not giving the ball to Cam Scataboo a lot.

but when your alternative is to hand it to Devon, Singletary, Tyrone, Tracy, or the often Achilles, Najee Harris, who, by the way, this is not Najee from five years ago that was, you know, more of... Even five years ago wasn't great. Exactly. That's my point is, like, we hear the name Najee, and we're like, oh, my gosh, what a threat. Like last year, this was the, Najee was the threat to Hampton, right? And so I think when push comes to shove and this team needs to get going,

Three, four weeks into this season, I'd be shocked if Scatterwood doesn't have the workload. I hope you are correct. I don't have a ton of faith in the coaching staff up in New York to make real good decisions with their offense. But of these... You want to know a little bonus to picking Cam here? Please. You don't have to watch Watson. Yeah, that's a... Look, it's Camp Scabu for me. I want to watch the Giants. I think the Giants are going to be a good team this year. I don't know that we're going to...

necessarily love how Nagy implements everything, but I think their defense is underrated, and I believe that, you know, we haven't seen them with this many good offensive weapons in a while. Dart, if he's the real thing, you know, didn't get neighbors, has neighbors, didn't have Cam, has scattered there. I really wish they still had Wondale. I feel like that's the missing piece of that team is I wish they had Wondale neighbors likely Cam. I hope that like Malachi Fields and some of these other guys can step up. That's just.

the one thing that sticks out. But, yeah, I hope you're right. It'd be fun, right? Yeah. Are you taking Cam or Judkins? I'm going to take Scataboo. I believe that he's just so talented. And I, Judkins, I worry, won't have the pass catching rule, whereas Scatabu is such a good pass catcher. Hey, ballers. This is Dan and South Bend. I want to see if you guys think I'm overreacting. I'm thinking about trading Judkins or Ramonday Stevenson.

Stevenson being on what I feel is going to be a much better offense than Cleveland. What do you guys think about that? I appreciate it. Love the show. So this is trade, Quinn Sean Judkins for Romandre. Sir, I would, at first I would say, I don't think you're overreacting to believe the Patriots offense will be better than the Cleveland Browns. I'll start with that one. I don't think that's his overreaction. Is just, are you going as far as saying I would rather? I mean, basically, would you draft?

remandre ahead of judkins here's the here's one thing i will mention to you when you think about this on a points per game basis stevenson was better than judkins last year yeah 11.6 to 11.2 fancy points per game it's remandre i don't think there's anything wrong with taking remandre he just oh there's planning wrong i have the back to back in my rankings right now who do you have higher

I've got Quinn John Judkins a spot higher than Ramandre right now. Yeah, I mean, I think it's, I think that's a, like Jason said, pick the guy you like the most there. I don't think that's a problem. If you have more conviction around goal line opportunities for Ramandre, because Watson hasn't sniffed the goal line in five years. We talk about, you know, when you're in a tier, that's when you use tiebreakers. And if you want to use the team, the environment as the tiebreaker, great, do it. We did get a fun little update from Jordan Renan over there in New York.

The unofficial giant depth chart for the finale just got released. Camp Scadaboo, the starter. But listen to this. Here's the backup. The backup is, the RB2 is Tyrone Tracy or Najee Harris or Devin Singletary. That's the listed. Brother. Have some backbone. Who knows who the backup is? The backups don't. You can't tell Tracy's the backup. No. Can his preseason.

has first letting Jackson Dart die on the field because of entirely your fault. And then fumbling in the red zone the next week. Not a good luck. No, it's not. Not bright. There you go. All right. Our next question comes in from Preston in Utah. If you draft Josh Allen, is it worth targeting DJ more later in the draft to get that stack? Yeah, I think so.

I'm a big fan of... Oh, you're in now. I'm not necessarily in the sense that, like, I'm not personally taking a lot of DJ more. I see... I'm not completely opposed like I was earlier. He's looked really good in camp. You know, it seemed like at his age, he had lost it with the Bears. Changing teams to a team that can do it without him. You know, they've done it the last couple years. It seemed very uphill sledding to...

have DJ Moore workout. However, this offseason, DJ Moore's looked really good. I mean, I know we've gotten duped in the past from Alan Robinson looking great in camp and then he doesn't have it. So I'm fine letting DJ Moore go. But if I were to have already drafted Josh Allen, that's the place where I take DJ Moore personally. Would you go, would you rather do that or would you just wait and have like a Dalton Kincaid Josh Allen stack?

I mean, I, those are both things in the back of my mind. I think I prefer that one manager in our upcoming draft. Is this like to split the difference on, like with Kincaid or Goddard or all those later round tight ends, it's like, that'd be awesome to have the stack. It'd be awesome to take a shot on DJ Moore if he's around late. I feel like he's going to get ignored in a lot of drafts. I mean, that could be an underrated stack for sure. You're in the late fifth or in the early six. I'm trying to pull up 80p real quick.

Because it's what, what is your opportunity cost to buy that stack? You're talking, you're passing on. Probably not a lot. Jamo Williams. Wait, what? Luther Burton, Bayshall Tootin, Judarian Price. Oh, I might not have DJ Moore. Yeah, that's your name to. You shouldn't have any of that stuff. Like if you take, was that fifth round? It's late fifth, early sixth round. They're talking, this is sleeper ADP. Yeah, DJ Moore needs to be back of the sixth. Yes. Yes.

So more like you're open to it, but you're not maybe not force it. I'm definitely not forcing that. And to answer your other question, I would rather do the Dalton Cicade because I believe in Dalton Cincade at the position. All right. That's a name. Instagram question from Big neck officer. Big neck officer? Is this Davis Mills? Maybe. Well, that's tall neck. You wouldn't call it a big neck?

That's a good question. I think a big necks is more like, you know, why. Grethy. Brock Leicester. But Shrek doesn't really have a neck. Brock Leicester is more of the law. Yeah. Traps. Who's the Eagles security guy? Oh, I can't think of his name. I know what you're talking about. Big Dom. Yeah, big, big, Dom. But the question is how many games? Or as Matt would say, Big Dim.

You idiots. Yeah, and you tried to delete it before I saw it. What, he typed that? Yeah, he typed it. Yeah, it's just a typo. I'm sorry. He types like he thinks. You understand a typo like big, big dom to big dim is a, it's a pretty big deal. Is your hair all wet? No. What are you doing? Why are you practicing dance moves? Why are you so sweaty? Oh, man. Matthew. Oh, this is great. What are you doing back there? YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers.

He's having a run. He's trying to lean so hard to get out of frame. Is it because of the sweat? No, it's a new look. It's a new thing that my stylist gets me. Oh, now I feel bad. No, it looks great. It's supposed to dry eventually, but it hasn't in an hour or two. They were like, put this oil in? Yeah. All right. From this angle, it's more of a hairnet. But anyways, how many games into the NFL season do you think a team has shown you who they really are?

Oh, that's a great question. We may have to compensate for some of what we do to docers with a deucer of the day award or something. I think we're going to need that. Give it to Matt. That's fine. I'd like to talk about it. You are the deucer of the day. The first ever deucer of the day. Congratulations. We'll be back to talk about you some more. Yeah. Now that you're the deucer of the day, you can take it. Just nominates you for the whole show to get ripped. Yes. Oh, congratulations.

Congratulations on such an honor. How many games into the NFL season does it take for a team to show you who they really are? Gosh. I'm going to say, I got my number. I'm going to, you want to write it down? Yeah. Well, let me, you write your number down, but I'm going to give one thought, which is the Colts last year.

But I guess that was injury. All right. I've got my number. Like trends and just like momentum and stuff, I think that can ebb and flow, but to know who that team is. All right. My number is. Oh, Mike wrote 10. I went 10. Oh, I went six. I went four. Okay. I think after the first month, not the teams can't change to get better. Like I remember. That's why I need more. Like I've seen. I think four is too few for me. Remember when the Denver Broncos were like six and oh or seven and then they didn't make the playoffs? Yeah.

That was the McDaniel year. But those are outlines. I was just going to bring up when the chiefs were 0 and 5 and made the playoffs. That was like they really changed course. Yeah. And so by the end of the year, they are something different than they were at the beginning of the year. Well, let's put it to the test. Okay. Four weeks into last year. Do you want to look at where we were? Oh, that's neat. We have that information. It exists. A little bit. Oh, man. Bills are four and out. Oh, man.

Yeah, I don't think you're going to get good information. I wouldn't do it. I don't think it's the right data. Kyle says 17. We do know through 17 games. Yeah. I should be able to get this data. We'll figure it up. Kyle's on it. Kyle's on it. Yeah, I'm a busy hosting the show. I can't get good data. But yeah, for me it's like six, but I was leaning more towards the high side, maybe eight. I think after six is like you can, you're starting to figure it out. The schedules can be just really complimentary or.
