Fantasy Fallout: McKinnon, Lev, Cuts & Breaking News

has been cleared to practice. Yes, he's back. Just so people are aware. I see this as a poor man's Tennessee Titans situation, where you've got Derek Henry, who is the first and second down back, and you've got Dionne Lewis, who's, you know, more the third down back. He's the past catching role, but he's also going to be involved in first and second from time to time. They'll split the carries, but the targets go to...

the smaller guy, and I would always prefer to have the guy involved in the passing game. I have statted both of these guys out, and I have Alf leading the way in the carry count. But at the end of all the stats, when you factor in both the carries and the targets, the receptions, and that work, I have a barita significantly ahead of Alf in just fantasy points scored. Now, if this is a standard league, that definitely switches. Alf has averaged nine receptions per season.

in his career. Sure. The receptions are not going to be there. This isn't a young Alf. This isn't a Washington Redskins offensive line. Agreed. You know, this is, this is not as good a situation. People even go, okay, well, look at Alf last year. Yeah, the Cowboys' Offensive Line was also very good. You're with the Niners' Offensive Line. They're getting things better, but it's... Agreed. I will. Rebutto, Mike? My rebuttal? Since you got two of us in one of you, you're going to talk one more time.

Alfred Morris, I can't argue against the age of 30, so things are against him. But as far as a running back goes, he is a younger 30-year-old. His rookie season, he was 24 years old. This isn't a guy who's been in the league since he was 20. And he's only got 1,400 carries on his body. That includes the playoffs. That's not anywhere close to the danger area for someone who's 30. And I saved...

Kind of my last piece of evidence. Oh. Because you guys are very interested in the pass catcher for San Francisco. You know who caught more passes than Matt Barita? Kyle Usecheck. Yeah, they'll use him. On 42 targets, so more than Matt Barita with a catch percentage of 78.6%, a far more efficient. Fucking 20 points better. I love Kyle Uschick. Kyle Uschick is, he is the problem.

He is the biggest problem, in my opinion, for Matt Berita. The one thing I will say, the one thing I will say, I'm still placing my cheaper bets on Breedick, because like Andy said, and that's fine with that. Brita will cost you less than Alf right now on waivers in trades. But I do think Alf has the higher ceiling in the sense that I don't believe Matt Breita can be in every down. Like, if one of them were to be a fantasy star this year.

It would probably be Alf. I don't think either one of them are going to be a fantasy star this season. And the last thing, because is Alf still down at like 39 for you, Jason? Yes, he is. Because I just believe that touchdowns in itself will take Alfred Morris higher than that. Okay. Last year, Berita only had two carries inside the 10. They did not want him being used there. Carlos Hyde 27. You want to know what I'm interested in?

Who the judge would take in the late rounds. Let's get a ruling from the judge. Can we, uh, wait, you didn't know this would come in, Brooks? You didn't know this was on the way? Did you know there was a judge Giamati segment happening? It's a big decision. I had to listen to the arguments. They're both very good. All right. It's out of respect for you guys. All right. Let's get the ruling. Rule in favor slightly of Matt Breda. Okay. Any form of PPR. Okay. First off, we're going to need another.

ruling from a judge who can pronounce his name right it's like cheetah that's how you need it's breeder like cheetah but that's okay i mean your job is not to thank you no no legal things like legal names baby josh dang it oh yeah baby josh you yeah i came in this morning and i went i went in to use the restroom and guess what the water was on in there and you know who that must have been oh that's a baby josh that's a baby josh move leaving the water on wasting the water my goodness here's what's funny

In 2012, the top three rushers in the NFL were Adrian Peterson, Alfred Morris, and Marshawn Lynch. And we're still talking about him in 2018. This is ridiculous. For a month. Fair enough. It's funny, though. It really is. And here's what I want to know. I'm going to bring this up. Should the Retskins have just kept Alfred Morris? Yes. After all these years and their struggles behind Sinner?

Or, you know, at the running back position. Possibly. Well, they have Adrian Peterson as they're starting running back this year. To be fair, it wasn't trending well. It was not trending. Like Alpha, I mean, he went down in production every single year and they just figured we're not going to pay this guy. It's just a funny thing. It is. It is. Weekly rewind. All right. We're going to catch you up on some of the bigger cuts. Some of the signings that have taken place. Injury news. Dept chart news.

We're going to give you a quick run through just so you're primed and ready to make good decisions this week. Don't forget, footclaim giveaway.com. There's only three days left. You can win an autograph, DeAndre Hopkins, Jersey, a couple copies of Madden or the UDK for Life. There are some of you I know that are still drafting this week. So get the ultimate draft kit while you have a chance. And we were on there updating that thing the second this news broke.

So it's up today. You can print the cheat sheets out. All right. Let's start in Arizona. The Cardinals Cup, Bryce Butler, offseason wide receiver signing. This is interesting only because we, you know, we've had to decide between a few guys in Arizona. It looks like Chad Williams, Christian Kirk. Locked in. And Ricky Seals Jones. Yeah. I'm placing my chips on Chad Williams. I think that early the...

In the earliest parts of the preseason games, that's where Chad Williams was involved. Bradford looked his way. Long term, I like both guys, but if I had to pick one to be a viable wide receiver two in Arizona, right now I'm leaning Chad Williams over Krish Kirk. I agree. Are you? Yeah. Really? Okay, so I thought you'd go Kirk's way, Mike. No, Chad Williams, we do need to remember it was a long time ago, but he was a third round pick.

And he's one of these guys that blows up the athletic measurables. He needs a real chance. And I think he's going to get one here. All right. Only other Arizona news worth noting, Jermaine Gresham did come off of the pup. He's not expected to be ready for the opener. So if you drafted Ricky Seals Jones, you're good to go. But keep an eye on it because he will be back before week six. Looks like Alfred Morris went for $33 of Fab in our listenerly.

I would, yeah, I was, it's upsetting to me because I had that beat at one point. Our listener league is a 14 teamer. So a starting running back is extremely valuable, but I pulled my bid down and I think I lost like five bucks. All right, Baltimore finally said farewell to Breshad Perryman. Yep.

He is working out with the Jets and irrelevant for further conversation. That is 100%. Agreed. Sorry, Perriman. Here's more significant news in Buffalo. Say goodbye to Cory Coleman. Oh, man. There is something. 24 years old, farewell. Something we don't know about. You know, it seems like Coleman has gone from budding star to maybe out of the league.

Oh, he, yeah. Someone will, I believe someone, you think he'll, I don't think he's done. I don't think he's done. He'll end up some on somebody's practice squad. He'll, he'll, he'll go the route of Greg Little. Yeah, it's, it's, it's not good when you've got that kind of draft capital in you and you're traded for a seventh and then can't make the roster with Calvin Benjamin and Zay Jones. You, you can't break in. Jeremy Curley. Right.

I mean, the roster right now in Buffalo, like, I think Curley is a speculative ad, to be honest with you, in deeper leagues, in Dynasty leagues. I don't mind it. They just don't have a lot of pass catchers. But let's talk about Mr. Very Necessary. Say goodbye, Nicolieri. No longer necessary. Your services are not needed. Yeah, tight-in, Nicolieri, who filled in for, I almost said Cassius Clay. How funny is that going to? That's a different person. Little Muhammad Ali reference.

Yeah, no, Charles Clay last year. He's not on the roster. But here's the deal. Nathan Peterman has been named the starter in Buffalo for week one. Here's the real deal. Start the Baltimore Ravens defense everywhere you can. Yes. It's going to be a bloodbath. This is not good. Nathan Peterman famous for a high quantity of interceptions. Five interceptions and a half. This is, in my opinion, for Buffalo a move to protect.

Josh Allen. This is the staff of the Buffalo Bills are going with a full Mayan sacrifice. Nathan Peterman is, look, man, I know you think you earned the job, but this. You earned something. This is, you are the sacrificial lamb. He's going to get, I mean, he's going to get the first three weeks.

Yeah, no, he'll get the first. Do you want to know why? Because Josh Allen's not ready. Well, not because of that. It goes Baltimore, Chargers, Vikings. Oh, no. Sorry, Nathan. Oh, no. Wow. That is not going to be. Oh, no. Week four, the Packers will see Josh Allen. Or Nathan Peterman is the best quarterback of all the time. Those are the best three starts for defense of the season. No, Josh Allen will get in there, but not for a while.

Nathan. And the offensive line is atrocious. Do some push-ups. By the way, before we grab the move on to the Panthers and some news with them and the Bears, big news with the Bears, I want to thank Pristine Auction for sponsoring today's podcast.

Yeah. Oh, no, James Connor got signed. So we're going to talk a little news here because we have to. Yeah, there's a terrible part of this. I'm going out of order here on the show, but as a Levi-on-Bel owner in the listener league.

Leveon Bell did not report to camp today, which was the first, you know, essentially the first day of practice for week one. Last season, we saw his lowest carry count of the season week one when he had held out. So even when I traded for Leveon, I expected a down week, week one. But it might be worse than that. You might need to fire up your backups in this situation. So I was trying to snag James Connor, a guy that Mike...

just dropped to waivers. Yeah, I did. Like a fool day too early. Yeah. I pulled an Andy. What do you think, before looking, I would just want to ask, what do you think James Connor went for? I already saw it, and it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. James Connor went for $40 of Fab. Congrats. Listener of losing $40 of Fab. Yeah. All right. Hey, you want to know what else is awesome, though? I do.
