Keep/Trade/Cut + Herbert Outlook, Expired Milk - Fantasy Football Podcast for 6/3

The Dalton Schultz one. If you listen to Beat Riders in Dallas, it was a breakout season for Dalton Schultz. Even though he's not the athletic profile, Blake Jarwin, he caught 63 passes. He had 615 yards. And even when, like, Tyler Higby, had a breakout season for the Rams, once Gerald Everett shared some of that role with him, it didn't matter. But you are, but you are in fact saying that Blake Jarwin would have had a breakout season last year. Is that good enough for you? It is a small bit. He absolutely would have.

He would have had a bigger season than Dalton Schultz. You were so close to glory, Mike. What's funny is Dalton Schultz did that with, well, maybe it's the reason he did it, but no, no, Dak. Yeah. Yeah, Dalton Schultz could have had a bigger season, which means Blake Jarwin could have had an even bigger season. Oh, man. What could have been? Blake Jarwin probably would have won an MVP is what I'm saying. I think there's a good chance. At least the top three in the running. Right. He's not a quarterback, so it's difficult to. Right. That's the reason. Speaking of Mike's champions, Washington head coach Ron Rivera said,

said Antonio Gibson can make a big jump in 2021. What else did Antonio Gibson say, though, Andy? He said that the toe injury that forced him to miss the last two games of the year has lingered throughout the start of the off season and that he is still rehabbing and that he's able to make cuts. He needs to, but it's something he'll have to monitor moving forward. That is not what I want to hear. It was also not the last two games of the year because he came back and played football. So fresh off of his toe injury.

My champion ran the ball 19 times for 75 yards in the final game of the season. I mean, look, you know, I've talked about it on the show. I'm in on Antonio Gibson this season. I think he's going to be so much more involved. I think the team wants him to be a massive part of the passing game. I don't think they want J.D. McKissick's quality dumpoffs that they want home run ability. They want to have, you know, the amount of plays in Gibson's hands where one in 20 is going to go for.

40 yards and change a game. But this is concerning because my understanding and expectation prior to hearing about this was that that toe injury was completely gone. I mean, this is months and months later. If it's lingering, I've reached out to Matthew Betts, our injury expert, we'll update the UDK and I'm sure as we could tell you to talk about Gibson going forward. We'll see if that.

Is a normal timeline recovery nothing to worry about or if that means that there could be more potential for reaggravation or problems in 2021? I would be buying the dip. If people are out there letting this affect their view of Antonio Gibson in September right now, I would jump on that. I'll just throw out that J.D. McKissick was much better yards per reception than Gibson last year for that home run ability.

and he caught a lot of passes. He did catch a lot of passes. He had 110 targets, 80 receptions. Yeah, I'm not saying that J.D. McKissick is not good or that he, that Antonio Gibson clearly showed more home run ability on the targets that he had. But clearly, I mean, we've seen them both on the field. When you talk about the explosive athleticism, Gibson's an entire another level. And it takes the reps to be able to get that.

I mean, we'll see how they utilize them, but that is my expectation. Where do you have Antonio Gibson? I have Antonio Gibson right now as running back coming up. I have them at RB11. I've got them at 13. Okay. I haven't at 13. Many other mic-related news that we need to get into there, Brooksie? Oh, man. You got any old flames, old fantasy flames that you want to talk about? Anything going on with. How's Jeremy Hill? Is Robert Griffin doing anything, Jeremy Hill? No.

Wait, what was that, Brooks? Yeah, Jeremy Hill. Ah, we don't talk about him anymore. I don't know who you're talking about. New phone. Who did? All right, that was today's, well, did you, did you, I know you're a leg man with Mr. A.J. Dillon. Did you see the, this is the thing now in the off season? All we do is post quads. The geo quads? I'm telling you right now, if you're a professional running back in the NFL, you better have some quadricep muscles.

Yeah, I mean, they all do. That's the thing. They're just wearing shorter shorts than they use the way. Exactly. If you zoom in on a good amount of their, you know, exposed leg, it's going to look good. They're a professional running back. They're going to be, what? That guy's got some muscles on him. Hold on. What I want to see is the guy that's got no quads, but is a superstar running back. Well, we'll see the rail legs. We need to see Melvin Gordon's quads. We need to see this. We need to figure this out. They're probably pretty good.

They might be. But do you not remember the photo of him next to, like, Mixing and someone else? Oh, it didn't look good. Oh, and he had the Mike Wright caps. I'm guessing Ronald Jones's calves are in question, too. Well, no, quads. Quads. Maybe. Maybe. I don't know. Quad watch. We met Ronald Jones, and we were like, you're very small.

Yeah, so what happened was... And we met Melvin Gordon. Right afterwards. And he was much larger. Ronald Jones was criticized for being, you know, just over 200 pounds. And I met him. And he looked like, this looks like a big, strong athlete. You know, I, you know, he should be able to do some stuff. And then it was like 10 minutes later, we go and meet Melvin Gordon. We're like, oh my goodness, you're a superhero. Like Ronald Jones looked like a friend of ours that's just a just...

He worked out. He worked out. This guy looked like, I don't know, I don't know people like that. Melvin. Melvin Gordon was from a different planet and Krypton. Yes, exactly. So, yeah. And then their careers have shown, have bared that out a little bit.

That was today's news and notes presented by Sleeper, Switcher League to the Fannis Growing Fantasy Platform today. And before we jump into Keep Trade Cut, guys, we have a lot to talk about.

The sons are up 28 with 318 left in the second. Oh, man. I was getting worried. They were going to lose that massive lead that they had a couple days ago. He's got a great. Oh, dad. Oh, dad. He's got the great sports almond neck over there. Oh.

Have them make a bet. I'll bet they win by 30. I'm thinking, I hope it goes the way it went yesterday. Keep trade cut. Pretty simple. Let's start by looking at some second year running backs. DeAndre Swift, Detroit running back, J.K. Dobbins of Baltimore and Clyde Edwards, Alair, Kansas City. All of these players, similar ADP, consensus rankings, pretty close. What are you doing? Yeah, I mean, when I look at this, it's,

The cut is easy for me. It's J.K. Dobbins. I love the talent. I love the fact that this team runs. You saw him dominate. It's easy? It's easy for me because he is the one that I am the most fearful of due to the lack of pass catching. He's not a Derek Henry sized outlier behemoth that I feel like can carry the ball 370 plus times like Derek Henry did last year. So he's going to have to rip off.

outstanding touchdown run after outstanding touchdown run. I'm not talking about inside the five. I'm talking about they're at the 18 and he scores a touchdown on that play over and over and over, which he did last year. So you know, this isn't anti-J.K. Dobbins, but out of these three, he doesn't catch the ball. So that to me out of these three makes him an easy cut when the other two are very solid pass catchers with the quarterbacks who have at least shown that they will throw to a running back in the past.

The keep for me is Clyde Edwards Allaire. Clyde Edwards Aller has really just, I mean, the disrespect for his disappointing season has gone way too far. People don't think he's any good. And this is coming from someone who was not his biggest fan coming out of college. But the reality is he's tied to the Kansas City Chief's offense. That was still his rookie year, right? There's still stuff he can learn. We're acting like...

Well, we saw what he could do last year and he'll never get better. Next. Next. Like, maybe he's going to get more involved in the passing game. Maybe, you know, I remember those games over and over. Wait, does J.K. Dobbins learn, though? He can't learn? J.K. Dobbins is a very good pass catcher. It's irrelevant. It's not him to learn. It's Lamar Jackson. They would have to learn how to throw the ball to a running back. He doesn't do it. He chooses not to.

And that's probably a good choice. Like if I had the ability he has with my legs, I'd be like, do I want to dump it off to this guy or just run away from everybody for 20 yards? Dobbins is the easy trade for me because he is the player that the NFL reality doesn't match the fantasy reality because of the things that you said. So I think most people's perception of J.K. Dobbins this year will be higher than his fantasy output. So I think he's going to be, he's going to be my trade.

The keep is hard. Like who's got the biggest ceiling of these three running backs? I think Clyde has it because of the Chiefs, because of the total points that the offense is going to score the ability to be involved in the passing. And really the depth chart there is still great for him. I'll keep Clyde. I'll trade Dobbins and I'll cut swift. Like when you're talking ceiling, who are you more concerned about taking touches? Darrell Williams or Jamal Williams? Williams off.

I love it. Probably Jamal. For me, it's Jamal. Not that Darrell Williams is a fine player, but Jamal was handpicked by the new regime to come in and be the one that spells DeAndre Swift. I lean with Andy that I think Jake Dobbins is the trade, but it is not easy to me because, yes, the pass catching is not there. But to me, at the end of the year,

J.K. Dobbins has 13 rushing touchdowns, and DeAndre Swift, due to what's going on with the Lions, has five. That won't surprise me in the slightest. And that type of a touchdown gap more than makes up for the difference in the past catching, where Swift can have 60 receptions and Dobbins can be down in the 15 to 20 range. But that amount of touchdowns really changes things. It really changes things on a week-to-week basis where it's not just...
