Deucer's Alley is a hot, steaming pile

After naming the hosts, the opening adds a pile of Deucers. The desk upgrades that to a hot, steamy, steaming pile, asks how Deucer's Alley is doing, receives a positive reply, tells the crew they look hot, recoils at the result, and orders push-ups. The next paragraph calls Al Borland Jason Moore's best friend.

moment

Brooks cannot buy a genuine award

The hosts say Brooks's ego wants the sports-podcast awards and call him a man of infinite wealth. Asked what can be given to such a man, they settle on an award because it is something he cannot simply buy; Brooks is a rich man of honor who needs it to be genuine, although the desk is willing to discuss a manufactured off-air Oscar labeled Best Actor Jeff Bezos.

moment

The Dynasty podcast reaches number one before episode one

The newly announced Fantasy Footballers Dynasty podcast becomes Apple's number-one sports podcast before publishing a real episode. Its only release is a one-minute Jason teaser, though the desk insists it also contains Mike's fire intro music that will become the official show opening.

moment

Dinner Butter tells Jason to stay hungry

Jason wears the recurring Dinner Butter shirt during the quick question. The garment immediately turns the question's transition into two 'stay hungry' cues.

moment

Trey Sermon over Waddle ends in the laptop long con

Jason admits that a running-back need made him select Trey Sermon even while debating and knowing he should take Jaylen Waddle. Near the close, Andy claims Sermon from dynasty waivers after a tiny Philadelphia practice puff piece. When the desk proposes swapping Sermon for the Waddle Jason now owns, Jason punishes Andy by unplugging his laptop charger; Andy will discover the damage hours later, and the physical long con nearly spills his drink.

moment

Brian Edwards is the invisible practice player of all time

The hosts explain Brian Edwards repeatedly earning jobs and snaps without production through an invisibility cloak. He may be the greatest practice player ever, dominating so thoroughly that he is too tired for games. Later, a Trey Sermon practice puff piece is called the most Brian Edwards news ever produced.

moment

Kyle hears Lamar Jackson in Desmond Ridder

Asked for a hometown Falcons reaction to Desmond Ridder being named starter, Kyle says that sounds like a weird way to pronounce Lamar Jackson. He admits his heart still hopes for Lamar, but if Atlanta chooses Ridder, he will sadly roll with it; the desk immediately notes the sadness.

moment

The Fantasy Genie grants three offseason wishes

A listener calls as the Fantasy Genie and offers each host one offseason wish. The first two unlabeled wishes send DeAndre Hopkins and Austin Ekeler to Buffalo, with Bijan Robinson replacing Ekeler. Mike refuses to wish for Trey Lance greatness and asks only to learn whether Lance can play after two full offseasons of argument; the hosts predict the 49ers injury chain may keep the answer elusive.

moment

Jason recuses himself from the Bijan train to paradise

A listener asks whether to trade Josh Jacobs for the dynasty 1.01 and Bijan Robinson. The Bijan Minute is announced, Jason is deemed too biased to answer, and his face is said to reveal the verdict anyway. The broader discussion turns Bijan belief into a train for which every host owns a ticket and paradise is the current destination.

moment

Greek-god Kelce will peak at human fifty

Normal tight-end aging is rejected once Travis Kelce is classified as a Greek god. In god years he will peak at human 50, leaving another decade and a half; he should grow healthier, stronger, and perhaps an inch taller the next season because Zeus is still a growing young man.

moment

Kelce carries a co-managed dynasty team through the playoffs

A host and Mike's co-managed dynasty team is described as a repeat champion debating whether to trade Kelce. The hosts say the roster routinely limps into the playoffs as merely good, then Kelce converts it into championships; Kyle simultaneously berates the team in Slack. The current transcript never names the team, though the co-management and later corpus context likely identify it as Dino Junior.

moment

The Kelce boomerang sells a screenshot taste

A host's verbal slip about giving up Kelce inspires a strict boomerang trade: Kelce may leave only if the other manager sends him back and pays a third-round pick. The renter gets no games, just a little Kelce dust and enough time to take a screenshot and flex online. The actual remembered acquisition bundled Kelce and Mike Evans for Chris Godwin, Gabe Davis, Greg Dulcich, Jaylen Warren, a second, and two thirds.

moment

Secret podcast league mates become best friends

A listener asks whether friendship can survive discovering that a league mate listens to the same fantasy podcast. The answer is not only yes but better or best friendship: listeners have humor, nice clothes, good smell, handsomeness, independent wealth, books, and perhaps a Dodge Stratus. Awesome league mates are presumed listeners, although the podcast remains hush-hush until the secret is revealed.

moment

Pacheco's cue fires before the fast feet return

The closing question names Isaiah Pacheco, and the hosts pause to thank and acknowledge a sound cue firing; its words are not captured by the transcript. The next paragraph immediately returns to Pacheco's familiar physical marker: the feet are very fast.

summary

Episode notes

Direct review of the published video confirms Andy, Jason, and Mike at the desk, three human crew members in the Deucer's Alley cutaways, and no Jay Griz cutout, image, or fourth host. The studio opens by calling the crew a hot, steamy pile in Deucer's Alley and ordering them to do push-ups, then identifies Al Borland as Jason Moore's best friend. Brooks wants a sports-podcast award because his infinite wealth cannot buy a genuine one; the desk calls him a rich man of honor and imagines purchasing an off-air Oscar from the manufacturer. The newly announced Dynasty podcast is already Apple's number-one sports podcast before its first real episode, powered only by Jason's one-minute trailer and Mike's finished intro music. Jason visibly wears the recurring Dinner Butter shirt and receives a 'stay hungry' cue. The strategy discussion becomes personal show history when Jason admits drafting Trey Sermon for need over Jalen Waddle; Mike is reminded of Royce Freeman over D.J. Moore and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Near the close, Andy claims Sermon from waivers after a practice puff piece, and Jason visibly reaches across to unplug Andy's charging cable—the long con that will only hurt hours later and nearly spills Andy's drink. Brian Edwards supplies the template for that puff piece: his repeated jobs and empty snaps suggest an invisibility cloak and perhaps the greatest practice player ever. Kyle is asked about hometown Atlanta naming Desmond Ridder its starter; the program cuts to the three-person booth as he calls that a weird pronunciation of Lamar Jackson, admits his heart still hopes, and then sadly agrees to roll with Ridder. In the Fantasy Genie segment, the first two wishes send DeAndre Hopkins and Austin Ekeler to Buffalo, with Bijan Robinson replacing Ekeler, while Mike asks for no success at all—only a definitive answer on whether Trey Lance can play. The established Bijan Minute immediately disqualifies Jason from a listener's Josh Jacobs-versus-1.01 question, and the hosts imagine everyone buying tickets for a Bijan train to paradise. Travis Kelce is protected from aging by Greek-god math: he peaks at human 50, grows healthier and taller, and remains Zeus. A host and Mike describe their co-managed dynasty team as repeat champions whose Kelce advantage turns limping playoff teams into winners while Kyle berates them in Slack. Another host proposes a Kelce boomerang trade in which a rival pays a third-round pick merely to hold Kelce long enough for an online screenshot before returning him. Finally, league mates who secretly share the podcast are declared better or best friends: they are funny, well dressed, good smelling, handsome, independently wealthy, well read, and likely Dodge Stratus drivers, though the show remains hush-hush secret sauce. The final Isaiah Pacheco question triggers a likely established Pacheco sound cue before the desk remembers his extremely fast feet.

All right, we got a great episode for you today. We're talking about a whole lot of NFL news. We're talking about some dynasty questions. Do you draft for need? Do you draft best available? And we dive into the mailbag and ask the fantasy genie to grant us a wish. Enjoy the show. To the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in. Thursday, March 30th, the fantasy footballers podcast, Jason Moore, Mike, Wright, Andy Holloway, and a pile of deucers. Hot, a steamy, steaming pile. How are you guys doing over there in Ducers Alley? Doing great. We're looking pretty hot, all right. Oh, man. Gross. Great. Do some push-ups. Glad I threw it over there. We've got a great show. Way to reference a show that.

1:18 ↗

A hasn't aired yet, and B isn't this podcast. Yeah, but the listeners, they'll get it eventually and then they'll go, oh, okay, I get how he really slandered him and they will applaud me for it. Al Borland, best friend of Jason Moore. Yeah. Big show today, some news to talk about, some news for probably Mike to overreact to. What could you possibly talking about? Just trying to preempt that. I know what's coming. I can hear it. Can hear the train on the tracks. But we'll get into it in a minute here. A couple of headlines at the top. You can head over to Foot Clan Vote. If you have a minute, we are nominated for a couple of sports podcast awards that, frankly, Brooks wants to win. I mean, it's really his ego that we're dealing with right now. Brooks, Brooks just. The man who has infinite wealth. Right.

2:16 ↗

What do you give to that man? Awards. You give him an award. You give him something you can't just buy. Brooks, can we do that? Yeah, why don't you just buy it? No, it has to be genuine at the awards. Come on, for Klan. I need him. He's a rich man of honor. Otherwise, I would like, I'll take an Oscar. Can you just go to the manufacturer? Best actor Jeff Bezos. No, like, but I mean, you know, they have like the awards they give away when it's like not on air. And I'll just be like, yeah, I got one of those. Just, just fill me in. Yeah, I mean, you could, you could probably buy, you could probably buy some things, but he wants to earn them. Yeah. So that's footclanvote.com. And then a huge shout out to everybody out there that has subscribed to the fantasy footballers dynasty podcast. We made the announcement on Tuesday. I'll make it again. We have listened to the, uh, the bellowing cries of the dynasty community.

3:15 ↗

Boo. We watch Dynasty. It's like a whale, a whale cry. And we have a Dynasty-specific show coming out once a week, starting on Wednesday, April 5th. It's going to be hot. You can go over to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, everywhere you listen to podcasts, follow the show, the Fantasy Footballers Dynasty podcast, which is now, at this moment, despite not having an episode, the number one sports podcast on Apple. Fantastic. You did it, Bookland. It has an episode, but that episode is actually one minute long and it's just a teaser trailer from Jason. That being said, it is not just a teaser Taylor from Jason. It's trailer from Jason. It is fire intro music that you have made, Mike, that will be on the show. That will be the intro music. You'll find out soon, but it is so good. So thank you for supporting that. You're going to enjoy it. It's going to be fun. Rookies.

4:14 ↗

Dynasty landscape news, lots of good stuff. And of course, the Ultimate Draft Kit with the Dynasty Pass is available right now at Ultimate DraftKit.com. Quick question of the day. It's an important one. Jason is dawning his dinner butter shirt today. And here's the quick question. Stay hungry. Should you draft? Stay hungry. Should you draft for need or best available player? In Dynasty rookie drafts, this is in some ways maybe the worst question you could ever ask because I think everybody has stared this in the face and looked at rookie rankings and looked at their team and then felt at a crossroads between the...

5:12 ↗

Do I take the player that people say I should take or do I take the player that my team really needs that I believe in? And it's brutal. I mean, I think is it fair to say that everybody's made a mistake because they've chosen the wrong answer to this question? Yes. And let's just call a spade a spade. This isn't do I draft best player available or position of need? This is really specific in almost every league. It's I need a running back. Yes. I mean, that's what it always is. I really need a running back. And so should I draft them ahead of these other wide receivers that you've got ranked ahead of the running backs? Or, you know, do I fill that out? My team is good, but I'm desperate for a running back. And I can tell you straight up, I have, I know the correct answer to this, but you don't. Doing the correct answer is harder than it seems. And I have.

6:09 ↗

made the egregious mistake and just what which one are you thinking of in particular particular i'm thinking of when i took uh running back from the san francisco 49ers when they traded up uh for always a reminder there they traded up to get was this tray sermon yeah i don't know i mean you're the one who did it but yes i remember it very clearly um it was funny my my team was stacked at wide receiver and had some problems running back. And so I did select him. Do you remember some of the people you passed on? I remember one of them. I remember the one that I was debating between because I knew I should have taken. Who is that? I was Jalen Waddle. Whoops and Jesus. Oh, man. Just take the best player. Take the one that you know is.

6:59 ↗

really good? You know, I did think, I mean, full disclosure, I thought Trace Herman was going to be good. His situation looked great. I thought his film was good enough. And when you go to the San Francisco 49ers and Kyle Shanahan, that running scheme, the future did look bright. So I don't, I was wrong on that. It was just bright for Elijah Mitchell. Yeah, right. Exactly. It turned out it was Elijah Mitchell, which thankfully I did grab him in the third. But, yeah. Jalen Waddle was a known commodity, a great prospect of first round. Pick number six, five, five. He was six. Six. Yeah, in the NFL draft. So you just don't pass on those guys. It's a mistake. If you, in the end, when you draft a player who is good for fantasy, they are more valuable than when you draft the player who is bad for fantasy, trade them for a running back. Why do I feel like in our experience specifically? I mean, Mike, you have a Royce.

7:53 ↗

Freeman in your past. Yeah, it's a Royce Freeman DJ Moore, pretty similar. And you also have a Clyde Edwards Aller in your past. Yes. So is this specific to running back mistakes? Yeah, it very much is. I'll fill in a little bit here saying it's when the draft capital is that egregious, you got to take, you got to take the, and I know, I've talked about the NFL makes mistakes. But the game of probability, if a wide receiver is drafted at number six overall versus a running back who was selected in the third round, you got to go with the wide receiver there, just because the odds are. As you're moving along into, you know, like the second round and the guys are in, you know, the tiers are emptying out. Well, now I'm down to a tier in my, in my rookies, you know, like a tier three wide receiver or a tier three running back.

8:46 ↗

then go ahead and take for need. But if there is still a top tier position, like, and I don't, even if it's running back or wide receiver, just whatever it is, and there's just a huge, staggering draft capital difference between the two players, I'm going to chase the probability and the analytics of that player working out for fantasy. Yeah, and I would add quarterbacks in a Super Flex league. Sometimes, you know, you might be in the... early second round and there's a quarterback that pretty much isn't going to do anything but you need quarterback so you grab them over really good prospects there at running back and wide receiver you've got to just take the the highest probability hit of talented players versus need and I think that yeah because I think the running back thing specifically has to do with people understand that when you have that magical you know secret weapon at running back

9:44 ↗

how powerful it is. And it's easier to be tempted by the Clyde, Sonny Michelle, Rashad Penny. You know, there's a laundry list of fairly high draft capital running backs that haven't panned out because everybody's hunting for the next Sequin and McCaffrey. And so I think that temptation becomes the greatest when it deals with a running back. But for those guys, like looking at that conversation, even, you know, a round one versus a round three. player of probability of hitting, it's a wide margin. But you can have that micro tier of looking in the first round. Although Sony, Rashad, even though I think Rashad Penny, he seems like a hit as a player, but his body doesn't want to play football. Yeah, that's a, that's a, called a fantasy bust. But the, uh, and Clyde Edwards, Alar, those are later second half, uh, rookie picks in the first round where Saquan, Christian McCaffrey, Leonard Fournette had his time, but those were,

10:45 ↗

like top 10 picks in the NFL, a much higher rate of hitting. Let me give you some data behind this situation. Of the 40 running back selected since 2015 in Dynasty rookie drafts, okay? So that is players selected inside of Dynasty rookie drafts that were third or later in the NFL draft. So I guess you mean third overall. Five became RB1s their first year. So five of 40. So third round? Is that what we're talking about here? Yeah, third round or later, like Roy's Freeman type. Yeah, because it, yeah, the first and second round of draft capital matters is so much. Yeah, so I mean, it's just you can spin yourself into a circle. Is that how the phrase? Yeah, I would say a spiral, but. I lost the idiom halfway.

11:38 ↗

That works. And obviously this sounds wrong. I mean, a spiral is a circle. You spin yourself into a spiral. Spiral is not a circle, right? It's circular, but it's not a circle. A circle connects on itself. I'm thinking of like when you throw a football in it spirals. Do you spin yourself into a circular motion? Into a tizzy? Is that a thing? You can, but that's not a geometric shape. Right. That's just a word we made up. Yeah, I'm just trying to remember the phrase. Spin yourself into. Oh, you work yourself into a tizzy. Yes, you spin yourself into a spiral. Right around, baby, right now. Professional. Obviously, every single year, the rookies that are coming out, there are differences. There might be four great wide receivers, one great running back, vice versa. This year, if you're not up to date on the rookies that are coming out and you're looking forward to them.

12:31 ↗

That's going to be basically next week's shows. Tuesday, we got quarterbacks and running backs. Thursday, wide receivers and tight ends. And if you are in the dynasty, we're going to start with running backs next week, dive even deeper, go to more prospects. We're going to get you prep for this NFL draft coming up soon. That way you know all the players that some succeed and some fail. You know all of them. Yep. All right. Great news. News and notes from around the league. Falcons head coach Arthur Smith named Desmond Ritter, the team's starting quarterback. Cool. Thanks, Arthur. That's going to work real well. Sean McVeigh said that Matthew Stafford is healthy. There won't be limitations. Ready to rumble. That's good. All right. Eagles are bringing back to Kelly Green alternates. That's great. Yeah, everyone loves that. It is one of those universal things. Like, I've never seen, I've never seen someone with the take like, man, I hate those Kelly Green. They're so ugly. I've never heard that once. That's great.

13:34 ↗

And then, you know, Brian Edwards and Marquez Callaway signed one year deals. Yeah, yeah. Brian Edwards to the Saints, Marco's Callow Day to the Calaway to the Bronco. It's going to work this time. It's going to work this time. I mean, it's funny that he, this is 100% your friend Derek Carr doing you a solid. That's what that is to me. It tells me that Derek Carr still believes it's going to work this time. Four time is the trial. Oh, man. How Brian Edwards keeps. getting jobs and snaps even, like, and do nothing with it. It's like he has the invisibility cloak on, on the field. He's on the, he's on the field. It's because he's he's so good. He has to play that way. He, he just all the defensive coverage goes to Brian Edwards. Do you think he is the best?

14:24 ↗

practice player of all time. Like he just must dominate these practices. Maybe. He gets tired. You know, it's like, man, I did so much work at practice. I'm not ready for this game. The Cincinnati Bengals have signed tight-end Irv Smith Jr. to a one-year deal. He was a second round draft pick in 2019. He's played just eight games over the last two years. There was so much optimism around Irv Smith, especially once Kyle Rudolph left two years ago in Minnesota. And it has not come to fruition just 24.6 years old, gets an opportunity to, you know, kind of, you know, it's a good situation. We talked about tight ends being, or I'm sorry, Cincinnati being one of the places where a tighting could go and have some success. We, the difference between, I think, this and like Evan Ingram and Jacksonville one year deal is that.

15:20 ↗

Obviously, Evan Ingram had had more historical success on the field. Irv Smith, I don't think he's been over 350 yards in a season, maybe around there. But obviously, an athlete, obviously somebody that can score some touchdowns. What was your reaction to this move? My reaction as someone who I have Irv Smith on one of my dynasty rosters and I've liked his talent in the past. He's never been able to be on the field. This was great news. I think it's actually good for everybody. Irv Smith was pretty much dead in the water. value-wise. It didn't look like he was going to have a situation where he could be fantasy relevant at all, probably the rest of his career. I kind of forgot he was a free agent. Exactly. Because you hadn't heard a single thing. And to show up in the vacated role of Hayden Hurst for a high-powered team that you know is going to throw for 30 plus touchdowns, like this is his chance at, you know, doing something of relevance for fantasy football. And then on the flip side,

16:24 ↗

I actually, you know, I don't think Irv Smith is going to be a reliable weekend, weekout, starter, no tight ends are. And I think he will not be as good as Hayden Hurst was. So this isn't huge. But he is good enough to help the offense, to help Joe Burrow. He'll have a few touchdowns and a couple big plays that can help open up the offense. Right now the depth chart is Irv Smith Jr. and Devon Ozzy, Ozzie. Who is also. So several disappointments, his, you know, at the tight end position, but that have athleticism. And for Irv Smith, like if these trends continue, you had, you know, just a couple years ago, you had C.J. Usama was the starting time for the Bengals. He leaves. Got that money. Haydenhurst. One year, repair some value. Goes and signs a three-year $21 million deal. If Irv Smith can.

17:18 ↗

show anything of value. He's going to make himself some money. Yeah, he's still only 24 years old, which is, you know, it is surprising. He's a young, young man. All right. Any other news to go over? No, sir. No. Um, Kyle. Any comments on the, uh, commitment to Desmond Ritter for your hometown team? It's a weird way to say Lamar Jackson to me. I don't know why. Is that, are you projecting something out there? I mean, are you hoping? My heart does, but no, if they go with Ritter, it's just, let's roll with it. Let's roll with it. That was a sad objective. You're going to be getting Ritter that season. It's going to be all over. I liked it. All right, we are into the mailbag. Here we go. Mailbag. Mail bag. All right, we are into the mailbag answering your questions if you have.

18:17 ↗

A question of your own you want to submit. Go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com. Click that, submit a question button. Or you can dial the voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB. And let's start with a voicemail. Hey, guys. This is the fantasy football genie. I'm here granting you each one wish this off season. And I'm wondering what that is. Okay. I have a new wish. Okay. It's a selfish, selfish. Well, of course it is. It works two ways for me. I want DeAndre Hopkins traded to the Buffalo Bills. Okay. Do you appreciate this? I just can't wait to share my wish. So this is for a second round pick. So the Cardinals get their draft capital and my dynasty quarterback, Joshua Allen.

19:14 ↗

gets a season of throwing a football to Stefan Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins, which I think they will break records. Sounds pretty good. If they have those two. So Hopkins, I think, will be fantasy relevant. I think Allen gets better. Cardinals get worse necessarily, but better draft capital. That's where I'm going. Yeah, and I think that is not an unreasonable outlook. Like that could happen. I could see the bills doing that. It would be good for everyone except for Stefan Diggs. My genie wish of the offseason, the reason I laughed is because it would be that Austin Echler is traded to the bills and they draft Bijon as the replacement. So it's a twofer because I want Austin Echler to still have a lot of fantasy relevance. If he leaves, that's the destination I'd want him to go to. The bills have been looking for.

20:07 ↗

this type of back. They've drafted the past catching backs. They brought in Duke Johnson. They were in the Christian McCaffrey sweepstakes. They really, they want to do something that they have not been able to do as an offense because they don't have the personnel to do it, and Austin Eckler can do it. Let me ask you, though, could that be a wrong way to think of it? Because they've added, like Duke Johnson has had success in the NFL level catching the football. You know who else has? Naeem Hines, who they traded for. Naim Hines has had historical seasons catching the football. Still didn't do it in Buffalo. Like, is there a world where they are the trap, past catching, running back team? Because when the play breaks down, Josh Allen, for all the wishes and desires that we have for him to dump it down to a superstar, look, he reacts. Like, and he's got a body that can go and.

21:01 ↗

head downfield instead of dropping it off. I think it's a trap in Buffalo. I completely see what you're saying that Josh Allen isn't going to be the guy that checks it down as much as he tucks and runs. But the versions of Naim Hines and Duke Johnson that the Buffalo Bills received were not peak age, peak career versions of those players. And those aren't players that demand targets that have plays drawn up in the passing game for them that are. regularly called and gone to. They are players who have the ability to catch that checkdown that's probably not coming from Josh Allen. Austin Echler, if they trade for him, give him a contract, they would be putting him into the game plan in the roles where he succeed. So I see that it could be a trap, but I want a high-powered offense. Mike, what is your wish for the fantasy genie? Let's find out if Trey Lance can actually play.

21:58 ↗

Oh, you just want him to be on the field? I won't even say I'm wishing that he plays and he's great. I just want to know at this point. I've had two full off seasons of Trey Lance discussion. Could he be this? Could he be that? Half of people on Twitter. Oh, clearly he sucks. You're like, well, we don't know. And then you got the Trey Lance truth. No, clearly he's going to be good. Well, we don't know. We have no clue what Trey Lance could do on the field. Just what I'd like to find out. It would be great to see because the arguments want answers. Yes. And I've got bad news for you, Mike. I know. I know what it was. We're not getting those answers. I had more thought on the Sam Darnold signing. And I think what it comes down to is they know already for sure that the early offseason programs, the beginning of when they're out there on the field.

22:55 ↗

The Brock Purdy is not going to be ready. They're aware of that. And so their options are either have Trey Lance once again be the entirety of your first team offense, build for him, and now you've got to make a tough transition, or say, hey, let's bring someone else in and have these guys compete. We'll get used to, you know, have first reps split. So we're not just taking it away from. Trey Lance because we know we're going to Brock Purdy. That's how it feels to me. I feel like they are 100%. And obviously the GM came out. He said he deserves it based on how he played last year unless his arm doesn't work. And the surgery is a failure. Brock Purdy will be the starter. I'm very convinced of that now. It is interesting that the offense made for Trey Lance and made for Sam Darnold or made for Trey Lance or made for Brock Purdy could look very different.

23:53 ↗

from one another. Good, but they, uh, they transitioned from all the offices of plans of Lance right back to Garoppolo, perfectly fine. And then that went right into Brock Purdy perfectly fine. I'm not concerned about the team of, okay, for that, but it's like, man, if you just want to know that. Yeah, that's that at this point. The genie can grant that wish. I just want to know. And I, I, I think Jason could be right of we still won't know. We still, and he'll just be a backup for the rest of his life. And never, we will never, ever know. I mean, do we know more? Or do we know more about Jordan Love than we do Tray Lance? I think so. I mean, at the very, at the very least, they have more practice. We might not know from, from, you know, game action, live, non-preseason play. But at the same time, he's been practicing for years. The Green Bay Packers know what they have.

24:51 ↗

Trey Lance hasn't been practicing while he's been injured. You know what I mean? Like he is a real unknown commodity. But I believe that another team out there, you know, someone like the Colts or the Falcons, like go kick the tires on Trey Lance. But if any, if the San Francisco seasons of the past, you know, recent history are anything to be used as projection for moving forward, Trey Lance will win. fantasy titles this year as Brock Purdy will be the starter and then round what week 10 week 11 he will go on to the IR and then Trey Lance will come in and get injured and then Sam Donald no that's not how it works okay how it works all right let's take a quick break and come back with another voicemail question all right by the way 83 career past attempts from Jordan Love 102 for veteran

Trey Lance. Yeah, I think Lance has three. He has the three starts. He has, uh, Lance has four, I think it's four stars, but three complete games. And, uh, he has much more experience in a, uh, torrential downpour. Mm-hmm. Yes. Full game. And, full game. And third of his career and physical, uh, rehab of injuries. Yeah. Trailer has been doing a lot of that. Different kinds of experience. Yeah. All right. Into the, uh, next voicemail question. Fantasy footballers, Michael, from Van Nuys, California. Appreciate what you guys do. My question, would you trade Josh Jacobs for the 101 in Dynasty? I have the trade on the table. Should I pull the trigger? I would be the one trying to get the number one pick. Mr. Bijon Robinson. God bless. You have the trade on the table? It's the Bejon Minute. Yeah. I feel like Jason's not allowed to answer this question. I agree. Yeah, that's fine. His face tells me how.

I mean, there's not even like, I already know your guys's answer. I know all their answers. I know everyone in the world's answers. But go ahead. I'm out. I recuse myself. Mike? Yeah. Yes, you should. Josh Jacobs in year one of this trade is probably going to be a lot better than Bejan Robinson. I would not put it at probably. I would say possibly. Certainly. Certainly could be. I mean, he was the running back three last year. He could be the running back three again this year. He was the rushing leader, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it was great. I see your point. Like this coming season, Josh Jacobs absolutely could finish better than Bijan. Yeah. That's. He could. Or slightly relevant. Or you have, I mean, it was 1150 yards, 165, 872, 1,600 yards. Or that was Josh Jacobs big Bada Boom season. And then you go back to him being just being good.

which is, I mean, over the 1,012 touchdowns, that's great for fantasy. I want to be, I want to be on the train with you that everybody should just get on the Bijan train. Buy a ticket, man. And we all have tickets and it just goes to, you know, paradise, right? That's the destination. Right now it is. But that's not a guarantee. And you should take Bijon in this trade because it's the best, it's the best player in the deal in the sense of draft capital. age prospect could be a top 15 pick you should do it in a dynasty league but like I said year one you may be better off with Josh Jacobs and we got to remember Josh Jacobs is not he's not like he's 25 yeah he's not very old so there's also the world where he's the better player for three years for the next three years that is that is a universe that exists
