Fantasy Draft Redo + TNF Preview, Buy or Sell - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/13

You know, he's obviously a dominant force at the running back looks great. So this is where he belongs to me. All right. Mike is on the clock. Right now the top 10 quarterbacks, if you're curious in four-point leagues, Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Kyler Murray, Jalen, Matthew Stafford, Sam Darnold, and Dak Prescott. So this would be between the two breakout wide receivers for me. And goodness.

You're talking about Cooper Cup and Mike Williams? Those are the two guys I'm talking about. I mean, since we're deciding kind of as a group, and these aren't really competitive. Cooper Cup will be the next pick for me if he's still on the board. Yeah, I would agree that when looking at these guys, Cooper Cup has done it before. He's part of what we know is a great offense. I believe the Chargers are as well, but we know the Rams can be. The connection has been there. Chargers are a better offense.

You think the charges are a better offense in the Rams. I do think that there are better offense in the Rams. Yeah. That's where the conflict is. Herbert is great. I mean, it's proven, but is this really what we're going to see the rest of the season? Mike Williams was number one in week three. Yeah. Number 106 in week four, number one in week five. Yeah. But the 16 targets was so exciting. Yeah. I'm going to, I'll go, I'll take Cooper Cup.

here. Cooper Cup of Coffee. What's the right pick? He, yeah, he's done, Mike Williams has done things before, of course, but, you know, and buy weeks at the beginning of the season don't matter, but Cooper Cups' buy week is week 11, where Mike Williams is on the way right now. So maybe that's a little of, can have you lean one way or the other. Okay. This is tough at 17. I'm between a few players. Giants, Detroit, Houston, Tennessee.

That's a nice run here for Cooper Cup coming up. You might want to trade for him. Man, this is really tough. DJ more in consideration. Yeah. Had his kind of down week finally, which we hadn't seen, but he had three straight top 12 weeks. James Robinson should be thought about just for what the year-long situation looks like. You know, Trevor Lawrence making some strides, the offense making some strides. Robinson is just...

going out there and dominating on a weekly basis at an important position for your team. Stefan Diggg should still be remembered here. What do you guys think? D.K. McCaff. The two players that I would be between. It's kind of scary because of Gino Smith. Yeah. The two players that I would be between right here are Sequin and Jonathan Taylor. You would take Sequin here? He might be out a month. Did you forget he was hurt? I completely forgot. What an idiot. No, of course I wouldn't take Seekone here.

Well, that makes it easy on me. It would be Jonathan Taylor, who's just, he has looked great the last two weeks, two top ten running back performances. We've always known the talent if they utilize him the right way, which they have the last couple weeks. He would be my pick. Yeah, I'm going to take James Robinson. Ooh. So I'll leave you, Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, I would say in your face, Jonathan Taylor, in your face, Antonio Gibson, and in your face, Joe Mixing. I mean, that's a real support saying.

you would take he's been great and he was the running back seven last year but talk talk about taking believing in him more than those guys yeah i mean jonathan taylor it's not a coincidence that the weeks that naeem hines has been banged up and hurt that jonathan taylor's been more involved it's not that i don't believe he's valuable to your team i just slightly lean the robinson direction um for a kind of you know and gibson's a good argument too but injury risk there

I don't know. I'm going to go James Robinson. What I've seen recently is he's the biggest leap in terms of where we were and where we are. Number three, number seven, number 10, the last three weeks, scored every week. Should have scored more last week. Carlos Hyde was on the field late and, you know, dumb coach. A dumb coach is not going away. No, but James Robinson is forcing his hand.

And he's doing it every single week. So I'm going to just, he's my Daryl Henderson leap here, the way that you took him at 10 based on projection. I regret trading away James Robinson in our dynasty league. I regret trading him away in the listener league. So come up and it's paid with the pick. It's really hard for me to not take Stefan Diggs here. I still believe in obviously his talent, the bills, Josh Allen. But I will take Jonathan Taylor.

Lock that in at running back. He has the chance to submit himself as one of those elite guys. He has a talent to do so. So at this point in the draft, I would grab him. And then at this point, then I would believe in Mike Williams. I'll take my, this one's easy for me. He's the number one overall wide receiver currently, you know, I guess tied in points per game with, or close enough with Cooper Cup. But the transformation that the Chargers have taken.

I would take the chance of buying in right here. There's a, I mean, barring injury, there's a, I would say a probability that he leads to league in touchdown at the wide receiver position. Because his size and what this offense has been able to do, 25% target share, just being 6-4-220, and whatever they're doing, they're keeping him safe. Well, and it's, you want volume.

I want a high volume of plays, and it might sound inconsequential, but the fact that Staley is willing to go for it so many times on fourth down, number one, there's an extra play. There's a potential extra target right there, but that's sustaining your drives. That's keeping your offense on the field even more than...

then most of the offense is out there. What's funny is, you know, if you're, like, I was out of town this past weekend, so I didn't have the nine televisions up. And I'm in the red zone channel. And then I'm like falling on my phone and I'm like in the scoring apps. And we get to, I'm looking to see what happens with Justin Herbert. I'm like, oh, it's fourth and seven. So I go to another game. Right. I go to another game going, okay, they lost possession. Then I flip back to it.

They still got the ball. That's right. And so, yeah, our hero. We love you, Staley. It's funny. You know, there's a bunch of names now where it's like confidence check, right? Like how confident are you that this beginning of the season will be replicated for the duration? And you're talking about players even like Cordero Patterson, right? Half wide receiver, half running back. Sure. Super integral to the offense. 100% man. Yeah. And I look, the trade offers for Cordero.

have been kind of crazy. And I've turned down ones that I think are, some people think are outlandish. Like, turned down Calvin Ridley for Cordero in our listener league. That's wild. Because. Oh, you did? I did. You asked for our opinion. And I was right on the fence. And I turned it down because running back was a position of greater need on my team. Calvin Ridley thus far. Like, you can't, you need to take something away from Calvin Ridley. You do.

Like the way we talked about in the off season. Oh, yes. This is a player on his fifth year option looking for a contract and is actually, it's not just, it's not just Calvin Ridley doing the same old things. And then Matt Ryan's missing him or the offense. It's a little bit of Calvin Ridley too. Like he has not been as good this year. He is a part of the problem. And so I didn't do it. I just didn't have confidence that he's going to be a dominator. And that's what I would have needed to get rid of Patterson.

So here I am. It's my pick. Mike Williams off the board, Jonathan Taylor before that, and I'll go Antonio Gibson, running back for the Washington football team. Yes, I don't blame you there. I would say Gibson can make it through the season with his stress fracture in his shin and just manage the pain and then let it heal during the offseason. Well, yeah, that's what Antonio Gibson does. He did it last year, too.

The lack of involvement in the passing game is so depressing after, you know, hyping us up in the offseason that this is what we're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to get him more. And the end it's just two targets every week. It's funny because the last three weeks for him, 13, 17, 12. So he's been consistent. And he gets two targets. That's what you're going to get from the Tony Gibson. Give him more, please. Dos.

All right, I am back up. There are, to me, five wide receivers. I am interested in one running back and one tight end on these next four picks that we have left that I would be willing to take. I am going to put my pick as a vote of confidence in Stefan Diggs. Okay. He has obviously not been phenomenal so far this season. He's a guy I would be willing to trade for.

You know, people are scared about Emmanuel Sanders, Dawson Knox. And at the end of the day, Stefan Diggs is phenomenal. He is an unbelievable wide receiver on one of the best offenses with one of the best quarterbacks. It's going to work out. So I will draft him. Really, one touchdown in five weeks has been the problem with Stefan Diggs. It could have been too.

I don't think he knew that safety was there. Yeah, we talked about that. Did you? Yeah, it kind of looked like he was. It wasn't pure show off to me when I saw the play. But I think he was just oblivious to the fact that guy was there. So. But why turn your head and not just run forward? Because you thought nobody was there. If you genuinely think no one's there, it's not showboating. Yeah. You know, you don't, you don't sprint. If nobody's there, you just walk. Yeah, but I think that's a valuable.

A life lesson for Stefan Diggs? Yeah, I mean, that's you saying you take Diggs over Debo Samuel. That's you saying you'd take them over Jamar Chase. Hopkins, DJ Moore, C. Lam, and Jamar Chase. That's, that was my list. All right. Three picks left here. We got Thursday night preview to get to Mike. Where are you going with this one? The argument for Debo here is I get it. But this is still season long. And what's going on with like?

what's going on with Garoppolo, will that transit, the full transition to Tray Lance happen this season, and I still believe that it will at some point, which now you have, you have huge question marks of how the offense is going to work, especially Debo. So I'm just going to take what I believe is a nice, safe pick with massive upside to each and every week. I will take DJ Moore. My guy from last year. Does that still count? Oh, yeah. Are my guys from last? Yeah, you mean my guy Cooper Cup? Oh, you mean my guy, Hollywood Brown?

Yeah. I, like, did they think it was about last year? No, yeah, we're just one year, yeah. I used 2022, baby. That was a 22, my guys show. I don't know why people don't understand. I, I'm going DJ more here, but I honestly think that if you took Hollywood Brown right here, as crazy as that sounds where he was at the beginning of the off season.

I am 100% bought into the breakout of the passing game for Lamar and Harleywood Brown. He looks sensational on that field. You know, it's still hard for me to, I agree. He's an outs. That game was incredible. That game was insane. His 85% completion percentage was mind blowing over 400 yards passing. But that's not how they want to win a football game.

is falling behind with a million mistakes. So I still think that there are going to be weeks where you are not as happy, especially with Bateman's return. But to illustrate that, our website, we have a consistency score to all wide receivers. Markey's Hollywood Brown in his last 17 games is an A inconsistency. You're one drop away from our viewpoint of Hollywood Brown going, we should have taken him in the top 15. I'm going to take Cordero Patterson.

Really? Whoa. Yeah. It is my last chance to pick a player here. And he's a wide receiver who has received six or more targets for four straight weeks, 82 yards, 82 yards, 60 yards. That's all the receiver side of things. Then this past week they give them the ball 14 times in the backfield, you end up with between six and 15 carries and you're going to end up between six and 10 targets every week for Cordero Patterson.

And there's really no reason that this offense is going to go away from him at all. So it's a matter of confidence here to take Patterson. And I think he is a bit of a cheat code where I just think people need to accept it. Okay. I mean, obviously, you know, if it sticks what's been happening, then it's a great pick. What is he, the running back for?

Currently on the season? He's had two weeks where he didn't score. And he's been a top, he was top 22 in both weeks. So. All right. This is the last pick of the 24 we're going. I'm going to take Darren Waller. I've lived the life without tight ends. It's not fun. George Kittle is gone. Hawkinson is maybe not what we hoped. So Waller is the last tight end standing of that tier. Andrews knocking on the door. Sure. All right. Let's hop into the preview.
