Fantasy Football - Breakout Picks + MEGALABOWL is BACK! - Podcast for 8/19

Dude, I don't want safety in the seventh round. I want a player who could, if things break right, that guy could end up in the top 20. And so I'm still behind 80 p on my projection, but I have no problem with that, with the draft pick. I thought he was going to go like in the fifth and I was going to be super out, but this is fine. So he's, Roma Dunes is 23 years old. Colson Loveland's 21 years old. Luther Burden, who looks great. I love this college state. 16 years old. He's not. He's actually 21 as well. But next year, like you think about the transition of this team. Next year, DJMR will be 29. I don't know how they... He'll be 29 years old. They have to trade him because his contract is... Yeah, they're not getting out of that. It's very lucrative. It's going to make some complications. He signed it the right time. Yeah. I mean, there may be a way out. Maybe it's to be a trade. We did poll the Foot Clan over at Foot Clan Discord on the Discord channel, which Papa Josh, he helps run the Discord. He's over here in Ducer's Alley.

And we've got, what, 50, 60,000 folks? We're over 60K now. Nice. So you can go join. It's free. You can join the Discord server. But we got the most popular breakout answers to hear from the Foot Clan. Number one by far was Ricky Pearsall. Smart people. Marvin Harrison Jr. was another big name. Okay. That one is, I think that's fair. It's like the Rome conversation. It's like the Caleb conversation. Please, Marvin. Be good. Yeah. Come on, Kyler. Drake May. Yeah, I agree with that a lot. Ameca, Egbuka, of course, and Amari and Hampton. A couple more rookie breakout picks. In fact, more and more this offseason, I just, you know, when you look back on 2025 and you say, what's the lesson we learned? I do think it will be a tale of rookies this year. Like some people were, some people I saw were making comments about like we had more rookies than normal in are my guys. And it's like, we've had 100 my guys in 11 years.

and this was the most rookies we've ever had in there. There's a reason for them. We're trying to give you the best players to draft. We're not paying attention to how many years they've played. It's the best player for this year in accordance to draft position, and rookies get discounted. This year in particular, there's talent we believe in at the rookie position. And the rookie running back class this year was especially good. I mean, we knew about that two years ago, that last year was a weak rookie. running back class and this year would be good and then they ended up going to situations that are advantageous you know in the ultimate draft kit we've got so you know our breakouts a lot of them are rookie running backs and it's like we were we had the conversation like can we can we have another rookie it's like well we just want to get we just want to get right we want to give you the best picks and it seems like this year i agree with you andy it's going to be a lot of the rookies yeah there's some rookies we just really believe in the opportunity the talent the draft capital all of the

the math equations and they get discounted in drafts sometimes and we'll see how that looks on draft day with travion henderson and some of these players shooting up the board but there's still some guys that are going to stay really really low in draft so we've got sleepers values bus shows coming up we've got a Superflex mock draft episode. Oh, man. Super flex people. Mike, I'm looking at Mike. He's like, bros are so excited. I can't wait. He's like, are we doing that? I can't wait. See how late I can take my quarterbacks. Oh, baby. He's only going to take one. He still takes one. Yeah, it's just guys, it's not too quarterback. It's super flex. Yeah. We've got a bold predictions episode coming up.
