Fantasy Football Podcast 2017 - ADP Price Check, TD Celebrations & Maaailbag!

are going to play to win a Super Bowl this year. And their best weapon on offense is not Brandon Cook's a newcomer coming in. They want to win games. And Tom Brady and Julian Edelman have proven that they have a rapport and a connection and that they can move the ball and score points. People jumping off of Edelman just because there's some other changes. I think they're making a mistake. I completely agree. I love Edelman.

this year. And we're going to move on to another wide receiver who I think we like him in this office. We picked him up in our fantasy pros dynasty league. That's Quincy and Noonois, who's a bit of a little waiver wire action guy last year for the New York Jets wide receiver. Where is Quincy and Noon going? He's, he's a 14th round, 14, 14. 14.1. Quincy Enigma.

I'm going to say he's going in the 10th. I'll go 10. In Andy's 10th? I'm going 1010 1010. 10 10 10 10. 10, 10, 210. 10. 21. 1401 is 14.07. Wide receiver 70 off the board, which is absolutely ludicrous to me. It is maybe ludicrous. And let me tell you why. I'm as with you on Quincy and Nuwa as one can be. He's going to be one of our sleepers.

But there is a world. And if you saw the reports today, Christian Hackenberg supposedly leading the quarterback competition in New York. Hakenberg's ahead of Petty? That is ahead of Petty and ahead of Josh McCann. Oh, get out of here. That was the report today. I'm saying there is a world where a quarterback not named Josh McCown and a healthy Eric Decker in New York City causes concern for me about Quincy and Noon Raw and the volume.

So that would be the reason why I would be hesitant. Right now I really like his potential. But we've all kind of had an opinion thinking maybe Eric Decker is not going to be there. But if Eric Decker is there and he's the one and they have two backfield guys in a limited passing volume team, you know, I just have a hard time. I mean, last year, Jared Goff's number two doesn't get you excited. Right. So that would be my worry. Yeah.

And I get that. I do. But I mean, it's not like they didn't have Brandon Marshall last year and bad quarterback play last year when a noon while was involved. I don't have a noon while going crazy, but I've got him with 68 receptions this year, which was my wide receiver 41 in PPR. So to get him at wide receiver 70. Yeah, that's tremendous value. You know, I mean, I will say this. When I'm in those late rounds, it'll depend on the makeup of my team where I'm going, do I want a home run guy who has some crazy.

upside potential. I don't know that Anunwa has that. But if I want someone that I think he can start my flex if I need, because I've gone crazy potential earlier, then Anunwa should be able to do that. If I'm drafting 67 receptions, I'm doing it with a 24-year-old wide receiver. I'm not drafting a 67 reception projection guy that is old.

I'm taking the young guy because at least if you're spending a late round pick on a noon while, at least you can watch week one and two. And he has the potential to do that. I mean, Jason, you barely projected him over last year, and I think that that's a good projection. Last year, 58 for 857 and 4. If he levels up because he's given the one roll or high volume or maybe it's a quarterback surprises, at least you can learn that the first two weeks. He's not somebody that you know is only going to get a few catches. And he's always cut our eye.

When we watch, you know, the quick question was about watching film. Yes. I think we've got an article written. Always. I think it was Kyle Borgenoni who did the Quincy of Noon. What's his name again? Maybe. Borgo Gnone. The Borg. The Borg. And the reason he catches your eye is because he is 625 and runs a 445. I mean, you're talking a guy on player profiler who his, you know who his comp is when you're talking production and athletic model?

Gordon. Yeah. So then the last thing I wanted to say about Quincy was his splits with Fitzpatrick versus someone else. Now some of these games are about half Fitzpatrick. If you recall what was happening with the New York Jets, they couldn't decide if Fitzpatrick should be the quarterback. Should he not? Should he be Bryce Petty? But the 14 games where Fitzpatrick played at least a little bit, 11.5 p.P.R points a game.

I'm going to guess that without him. There was two games where Fitzpatrick was not there, 3.8. Yeah, and that makes sense because I was going to say, I'm going to guess that he goes completely through the floor. And the reason was because if you remember, when Bryce Petty took over, there was only one man who got the ball. And that was Robbie Anderson. 99% target share volume to Robbie Anderson. You know what's funny is Jason has made the case that the Jets are doing everything in their power to lose this season.

I think the Jets have made that case as well. The fact that I just reported Christian Hackenberg is leading the way. See, I'm telling you. Should tell you everything you need to know about that potential. I mean, that is. And that fits in for me with Innuir, some sweet, sweet, stinky garbage time. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's find that drop for the first time this year. All right. Let's let's, uh.

Are we, do you want to, is there, give me one more name and then we'll jump into the mailbag. I'm going to give you one more name, uh, because the height machine of this man has been quite strong. Hmm. This off season. Talking about Brooks? No, the Brooks height machine's always at 11. Always at 11. No, because of the additions to this man's team, the general public have begun salivating at the potential of James Winston.

You added Deshawn Jackson. You added Chris Godwin. You added O.J. Howard. A lot of, a lot of very, very special pieces for the offense. Where is James Winston going? And mock drafts. I'm putting him at 802. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'll go 808. Oh, the kick drum. That's a music reference for all my music friends out there.

James Winston is actually going at 905 as the quarterback 12. I was shocked to see that he was only the 12th quarterback. Would you know, would you believe he's my number 12 quarterback? I absolutely would. James Winston is so tantalizing because of the weapons and yet so frustrating in general to watch perform on the football field because he takes the chances and they're very exciting and they're very fun.

But he throws, nobody threw a higher percentage of bad passes last year than James Winston, statistically. He threw the most unquatchable passes in the league from a starting quarterback. He does not, he has accuracy issues, issues that having 6.5 Mike Evans has masked. He will have to be efficient with those deep balls to Deshaun Jackson. I don't read much into Howard and Godwin giving him some sort of.

magical offensive prowess. But he was good enough last year in spurts that when you give him these weapons, 12, I feel so comfortable with 12. It's where he'll probably, he'll stay there the whole offseason. Yeah, and I'm fine with having me at 12. Deshaun Jackson. Jason has him a bit higher. Yeah, he's my number 10 right now. While Godwin and O.J. Howard, I agree with you. They maybe don't raise the bar for me a ton this offseason.

Deshawn Jackson does. I think that he can make a difference. He should. Yeah. To me, putting Deshawn Jackson on that team is plus four touchdowns minimum for what Winston's potential is. Guys going around the same area as James Winston. These are guys who are actually a bit behind him. So it was the question of quarterback 12. That's pretty good value. You've waited. Everyone else has taken a quarterback. You've loaded up. But these guys are behind him.

10.09, Matt Stafford. 11.09, Andrew Dalton, and 1312, the emergency parachute himself, Blake Bortles. So do you feel like you would like to go in on Winston as the quarterback 12 or maybe still wait for someone like Dalton? No, I would still wait. In fact, I have Matthew Stafford ahead of James Winston in my rankings. So if he's going behind, sounds good to me. Yeah, unless you're talking about.

Significant keeper lead or dynasty, in which case Winston is certainly an attractive dynasty piece, no doubt about it. All right, nice ADP price check, Mike. Thank you. Good job with that. I want to say, you guys have it easy, man. Just sit over here and just fire back insane amounts of knowledge. Your job is easy and very fun. All right. Well, good, good. We're going to jump into.

The mailbag. I do want to take this. Well, then you should continue doing my job. Oh, it's so easy. Wait. I can do that. I can do that. Oh, wait a minute. No, I'm not doing that. There's no chance.

You can also leave us a voicemail 3-0-4-664-TFB. We're going to jump right in on this mailbag to a voicemail question. This one comes in. Looks like from California. Hey, this is RJ from Oceanside, California. And my question is this. How do you suggest that change and rules to your league when you're not the commissioner?

Should you put it on your group league page or just tell your commissioner or bring it up the draft? For instance, I want my league to change from our waiver system from a first come first serve to a fab-based system. How would you guys recommend about going back to that since I'm not the commissioner? Thanks. Bye. Thanks for the question, RJ. Good question. Here's what you've got to do. First, start getting your league used to the idea of fab. Make sure that everyone knows.

what it is how it works we have a great article on the website plant those seeds of fab for beginners and then i'm going full washington dc i am turning into a lobbyist and i'm talking to the commission i'm talking to everyone just man have you have you seen how great see how great this fab thing is i mean man i sure would be great if

If a league like ours could switch over to fab. I mean, I don't know. I'm just spitball here. You're right. You put some bugs in the ear so someone else can bring it up. You plant, you put, you get your crops ready. And then when the time is right, you pounce like you pounce like, he is a fab time. Yeah. And then and then you pose the question. I went to macho man for some reason. And then after you've had all your one-on-one individual conversations with people.

you know, teaching them convincing. How are you feeling about this FAB? Then you can post to say, hey, I know a lot of us have been talking about this FAB system. So I wanted to bring it to a vote. Oh, yes. Because then the people that maybe you haven't had those one-on-ones with, they're going, oh, okay, this is something that other people like. House of Cards on this. You'll know the votes before the votes come in. Yeah, oh, yeah. We've got enough votes for this thing to pass. No, that's not a bad idea. And ultimately, I will say this about FAB when people have tried to institute it.

You know, explain it in a simple way to people. Because the one thing that I've seen people shy away from Fab for is because they think it's too complicated. Too much work. And I think that's a lack of communicating a good fab system. A fab system is about equalling the playing field and adding more fun to your league in terms of a daily bidding. It's fun to check every day. And we get it. There was resistance in our Keeper League to switch to Fab. Yeah, but now it's fabulous. Yeah, I had to.
