Tier Drop Candidates + 2018 Rookie Review: QB & WR

It is very interesting to me. Just the absolute target domination when he play. But his health is highly questionable at best. All right. Let's go ahead and take a couple minutes for Foot Clan Mailbag before we shut down the show. Mailbag. All right. If you have a question, go to the website. The fantasy footballer.com or you can dial our voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB. Here's a question about, well,

Hunter Henry. Tyler and Buffalo says, hey, ball, there's just one player you did not touch on in your truth episodes because there was no truth to him this season. But going into next year with the abysmal tied-in landscape, what is the truth about Hunter Henry? The truth is we were all very, very disappointed to have to report the news last year that he was going to miss the season.

We're all very excited to see what he could do, stepping out of the shadow of Antonio Gates, a shadow that has grown larger in recent years. Oh, however. No, that's great. That was a great joke. Thank you. He looks like twice the man he used to pee. And I'm twice the man I used to me. Look, Hunter Henry is absolutely worthy of top ten, tight in consideration. Absolutely, he's top ten. 100%. He is, once you take out the...

primary target tight ends, like the ones that are the primary target in their offense. Maybe Kittle is a primary target on his office. Definitely Kelsey. Then it's like, okay, everyone else is going to have bad games where they disappear. Hunter Henry will as well. But he's going to be involved enough, talented enough, and on a good enough offense where he'll be the tight end six or seven. Here's the thing that I want to contextualize with Hunter Henry, and I think he fits into the Trey Burton hype category, where...

You kind of see the path and you think he's going to have the great opportunity. But Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, Melvin Gordon out of the backfield, Austin Echler out of the backfield. And both of you guys have thrown a lot of shade on Philip Rivers next year for whatever reason. So I feel like you guys. I have. Oh, okay. Maybe him. I was like, I still like. Well, you said you take Baker over? Yeah, for ceiling. All right. Because Philip Rivers will still be in that. Bake. 12 range. Philip River's ceiling is still pretty nice. It's still pretty nice.

But regardless, I'm just saying, like, it's easy for us to get hyped about the next tier of tight end. I'm not saying Hunter can't deliver, but I'm with you, Jay. I think eight to 12 is a more reasonable expectation for Hunter, Henry. Yeah, sure. You know, I think in that eight range, he'll definitely be a top 12 guy because it doesn't take much to actually finish as a top 12 tight end. And, you know, you compare him against trade burden. And I would just say the difference there is.

Trey Burton came over, got the big contract, the system looked great, but Hunter Henry, the player, he was drafted to be a great tight end. You know, he's 65-250 versus 6-3-2-35 with Burton. So, you know, I think Hunter Henry. Aren't they all drafted to be great? Well, I'm saying he costs a lot more. We expect you to be. Wasn't Hunter Henry a second round draft pick? Yes. Second round and it's contract year. But he's gone into that. Sure. And he's coming off an injury too.

Yeah. But my point is Hunter Henry was drafted in the second round. Trey Burton was undrafted. So he was coming out of college supposed to be a star. All right. If I were the commissioner of the NFL, this is a question from Matt in California. If I were the commissioner of the NFL, I would do what to make the pro bowl watchable? I would do blank to make the pro bowl watchable. I would 100% make it a flag football game. I would take the pads away. I would take the helmets off.

I'd watch the players. I'd mic everybody up on a seven second delay. But I think that would be fun. Watch the actual players, get to see them, get to watch them, talk smack, and, you know, play, have fun. Take a little bit of the injury risk away. I mean, you can still tear your ACL. I think you add to it. Yeah, that's, no. I think you might. I think that the players would play all out.

without pads more so than they would like in pads i feel like this just nobody's giving it they're all keep it the same but instead of an uh an arm band that the quarterback has he's got a a smartphone everybody who's watching on tv at home they vote on one of three plays on every play you get to pick the play let him run the play a little bit of active participation in the pro bowl that's my that's my guess not bad i'm with you jay that i've forever

I wanted it to be flag football, but. Boring. No, no, I don't think it would be boring at all, but I actually think that's the problem is the injury risk will go up. Because the chance of guys trying to do, I'm talking to the skill players, going for super fancy, like real hard cuts, real strong juke moves.

They're not trying to juke anybody. But when they're the pads. Do you guys go watch the American flag football league and Chad Johnson? They're not trying to juke anybody when they're in pads. Not in the Pro Bowl. Sure they are. Not having pads. Pads off does not mean they're going to try to cut harder. I don't buy it. All right. If they get shoved down or hit in the air, then sure they're at more of a risk without the pads. But you can't hit them at all.

James in Texas has a dynasty question. He's about to start a dynasty league for the first time. I was wondering what is the appropriate amount of bench spots to have. So the total amount of spots, I'll just give you the over arc. I like to have 30 players per team. And then the starting roster be quarterback, two running back, two wide receiver, one tight end, and then two flex.

Yeah, and one of those would be your Superflex. Yeah, and if you want to go with a Superflex, I fully support that as well. And they're remaining on the bench. Absolutely. All right. Pristine deal a day. Oh, well, this is just perfect, isn't it? Nick Chubb, a signed Cleveland Brown's logo football. Yesterday sold for $54.99, which is very one cent away. Oh, that is. I'd paid the extra penny just to get it right on the dot.

There's a Kenny Gallaudet jersey brand new up on our wall today that we got from Pristina. Yeah, I've been hitting up Pristina a little bit. Yeah, I noticed. That's right. Here's the thing. I check the credit card statements, Mike. Here's the thing, if you want. Business expense. If you want to win these things. Now is the time. Yes. To be fair. Not if you want, if you want Patrick Mahomes gear or Julian Edelman gear. That's tougher. Good luck.

But everyone else now is the time. So head on over to pristine auction. Make a completely free account. Make sure when you do it that you let them know that you found out about them from the fantasy footballers podcast. All right. We'll be back with some more rookie review on Thursday. Some fantasy valentines and a whole lot more. No tats and flaps, though. I promise. Yeah. Goodbye.
