Fantasy Football 2017 - Ballers LIVE! - Bold Predictions + Fantasy Stories

But he's building himself physically like a running back this year. I mean, he came in last year and put up huge numbers in the opportunity that he had. And now you have him on one of the best offenses. I think he made the right pick with Time Montgomery there. They didn't have anybody in the backfield behind Time Montgomery. So I think Williams, Jones, those are depth pieces. I think you'll still see them spell Time Montgomery. They don't want him to get hurt. That's been the one thing that has been a problem for Montgomery. But I think he made the right pick. I think that's kind of repetitive from the show from last time.

What do you feel about Tyree Cohen taking the role for Jordan Howard's? Because I also got him doing the turn on the third. He won't take the job. He won't take Jordan Howard's job. Nothing like that at all. But he will, I believe he will spell him. Jeremy Langford just got cut. Kadeem Kerry is on the IR. So, I mean, it's Benny Cunningham in front of him. And Cohen has shown so much in preseason. And Jordan Howard has shown us.

what he is as a pass catcher and that's not that good not his strength so they went and they got a guy that who he's capable they can he can run the ball if they need him to but he should be a pass much better in ppr but jordan howard is is his job is safe yeah Cohen won't take over unless Jordan Howard gets injured yeah even then I mean Cohen is he's a little he's a little man he's a little man yeah he's not big and and

You know, to speak to the Jamal Williams thing, early in the offseason, I did not want to believe in Ty Montgomery. They go out and they draft Jamal Williams, and I think, okay, he's going to be the first and second down back because that's kind of his skill set. But it's clear that Ty Montgomery will be the first and second down back and is also the better pass catcher. So I'm not worried about Jamal Williams encroaching at all. When you cut Kristen Michael, there's a big void.

And you can only fill that void with a whole bunch of running backs. I cut that drop out of here. It's not even there anymore. The people are sad. I'm sorry. All right. I feel great about it. I had to add Adam feeling back in. Thank you, Mike. Yeah. Right on. There we go. Next question. Next question. There we go. Thanks, Judge. Hey, guys. A big fan. First question. Can I have that jersey?

Oh, you might be able to get that. TBD. Okay. Stick around after the show. All right, perfect. And then second question, who's going to be your next lottery ticket that could be next David Johnson? Doesn't have to be a running back, but a receiver. Maybe somebody is going to be a first round player next year just because of scarcity in their backfield. You guys have a pick? Doesn't have to be a running back? Doesn't have to be a running back? You know, the guy that I think is going very late who has both the opportunity and talent would be Corey Coleman.

Corey Coleman was drafted to be an Oda Beckham, Antonio Brown type of receiver. He's flashed it, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy. Now he has the opportunity as the number one wide receiver there. Kaiser has the arm to get him the ball. So he's like the lottery ticket type guy that I'm not expecting it to happen, but it absolutely could happen at the end of this year.

Everyone next year is keeping Corey Coleman at this great values. But Jason, but Jason, what about Kenny Britt? That was a... Wow, you just got Bo-Poy. Oh, my goodness. I got Bo-Pone. That's what it's like. It's the worst. It's the worst. It's the worst. He had that ready. So he didn't care what your answer was. Here's the thing about Kenny Britt. Kenny Britt.

is safe and he absolutely could stop Cory Corman from doing it. He doesn't care. But I'm just saying, Cory Coleman has the ability to do that. Kenny Britt does not. My answer, I'm going to throw out Deontay Foreman, if they move on from Lamar Miller. And I'll say the same thing for DeAndre Washington. If Marshaun shows up and he's got nothing left, he can only handle one year, DeAndre Washington will be the man next year. I've got one pick as well, but I'll hit a drop for it.

Yeah, I think Adam Thielen. The debate. Diggs, Thielen. It's not going to be a debate next year. I think Adam Thielen breaks out. I like Marley Mac. Next. Who? Marley Mac. That's not bad. Not bad. Yeah, everyone might retire other than him. That's true. All right. Hey, guys. What's up? My name is Brock. Hey, Brock. Awatuki. All right. Brock Atuki. There you go. Yeah, it is now. The original Brockness monster. Before you guys stole it. You look like you can hang some wallpaper as well. A little bit.

So I just had my auction draft yesterday, and I got sniped on a lot of late-round running backs. Okay. So I need a guy who's potentially undrafted, who has a chance to take over starting by week five. Undrafted. Undrafted. Take over by week five. You want to take the shot on James Connor? When the bi-week start kicking in. I mean, James Connor, but I bet Connor went in the draft. I'll throw out Charles Sims. Did he get drafted? No.

Yeah, Charles Sims, he could, if... Did Alvin Camara get drafted? He did. All right. Yeah, I mean, Rex Burkhead? Did Rex Burkhead get drafted? He did not. All right. I mean, you have to take a shot on somebody that the pieces have to fall into place. Did you answer James Connor? James Connor is still there. I mean, to me, he's just a huge upside guy. I mean, there's nobody else there that cut Nile Davis.

Backup running back for the Steelers. And they'll throw out Sharkandrick West. Despite my full belief and love for Kareem Hunt, he still is a rookie, and Char West has proven it before. So he's worth a late stash. Did Wendell Smallwood? Did he get drafted? That was the name I was just going to bring out. He did not? He might be your ballwood.

What are you talking about? Windle Smallwood is the number one on that list. I got Sprouls. Okay, all right. I would put Windle Smallwood number one on that list because James Connor will only be good. James Connor will only be good if Levy on Bell is injured. That's blunt. Yeah. Windle Smallwood could just, like you said, take over by week five as the starter regardless of injury. Yeah. Cool. Thank you. Thank you. Next question. Good work, Brooks.

What's up, guys? Hey, how's it going? I want to hear your thoughts on this potential trade. I give up Jordan Howard and Brandon Cooks for DeMarco Murray, Derek Henry, and Demarius Thomas. I do it. Say that again. You give up Jordan Howard and Jordan Howard and Brandon Cooks on the Patriots. And you get the Titans and Thomas? The Titans back film. That's a pass for me. That's a pass for you. That's a hard pass. Split the difference, buddy. Yeah. I believe. You're in on Cooks now. Fully in. That's probably why.

Yeah, I mean, I believe in DeMarco Murray a whole lot more than I do in Jordan Howard, so you got a deal. Oh, boo. All right. Thanks, guys. Take the verified advice. Okay. Here comes Teddy. Next question. We just need that to be a drop. Hey, guys. What's up?

I'm wondering why Teddy Bridgewater, would you draft him and then put him in your eye out? No, I'm sorry. I would say you won't. But I would not. Maybe just moral support. Carmen is the reason I'm here. And she has both David Johnson and she took Dalvin Cook before I could get him in my Dynasty League. Well done. So she gets Dalvin Cook for the rest of his career in my dynasty league. We're also in another league, which is a one-to-one year. And she took Dalvin Cook in his second round. Oh, man.

Straight trolling you at this point. You know she knows. You wear the jersey or a lot, don't you? I have the trade window open. I was going to either let you make any trade. You think it's fair. You want Dalvin Cook. I want Dalvin Cook. Wow. Any trade you guys pick. Andy's the trade master. See, generally, generally from a trade strategy perspective, you don't just open the window with like your trade partner in here and just say whatever you want to give her. Whatever.

And that's bad. That's a bad leverage play. One year of Dalvin Cook for me. You've got to be putting Latavius Murray highlights on in the background of the house. That's what you do. Yeah. I think we should try, Andy, you should try to just pressure a really good deal to get accepted solely because it's coming from you. Give him a win here. I have Kreme Hunt. I have Thai Montgomery. I have Golden Tate. You took him in the second round? Brandon Cooks. You got to give her tie and something. Tie and. Yeah.

And then you're in good shape. If you really want the hometown guy. Golden Tate, Brandon Marshall. Don't do it. No, it's not going to get it done. I can't take you the whole way. Tie and. I just got to start you off. That's what this show's all about. We don't do it for you. Would you accept Ty and Golden Tate? Oh, you're really trying to pressure. And Golden Tate? Counter with Demarius. What is happening? Who Saturday won? I don't know. All right, thanks. Next question.

All right, what's up? What's up? Hi. Hey, howdy? So who do you think we'll finish higher? Martavis Bryant or Terrell Pryor? Oh, great question. That's a great question. What's your name? Bracian. Bracian? Bracian. Good question, Bracian. Good shirt, too. Nice shirt. You got the right logo on. You're one J away from an awesome name there, Brayson. Martavis Bryant or Terl Pryor?

Yeah, that's actually not even true. Drayson. I'm going, obviously, I'm going Martavis Bryant here. I've been the anti-Torrell-Pryor, and considering that this episode I'm calling for the demise of the Washington Redskins, I'll go upside in Marty McBride. Now, I'll take Martavis as well. Embrace the alien. He has landed. Yeah, all right, I'll just go with you guys. He's back from his vacation. Yeah, I mean...

His vacation. Yeah, he's great. He's great. I'll go with that offense for right now. I'll take Martavis. Good question. Great question. Nice to meet you, Drason. Drason, that's like a Game of Thrones name. Yeah, it is. Next question. How's going, guys? My name is Sean. Hey, Sean. So I got a Z question here. If he does get suspended for the six games, does the value have to give up for him drop as compared to starting week one? And if so, what would that value be? Definitely changes. You're saying when the suspension kicks off?

Yeah, like if it does get pushed next year and he starts week one or he does get the split end for six games. So I took Zieg in the back of the first round of our listener league draft based on the news that's coming out. And right now it's a gamble, right? Jason had the best argument for the Zieg situation, which is if you're in a league where a high percentage of teams, what are you doing? You keep talking, man. I'm figuring it. Just put it on your Twitter. Where a high percentage. I like it.

I get a better reception alone in the podcasting room. If you're in a team where a high percentage of teams make the playoffs, you can draft Zeke higher because you can wait on him, whether it gets reduced to four games and he takes it or three games or whatever the case may be. I'm more a fan of taking him early now because I think the situation is either going to be he's going to fight it in court.

or something's going to happen where it gets overturned or it gets reduced to a point where you're talking two, three games. One of the really nice things about drafting Zeke right now is that since the news has shifted and there's the kind of, is he going to get it reduced or not, Darren McFadden, who was being drafted higher and higher and higher is now dropping like a rock. So you can actually get Darren McFadden at a much better value now, even though nothing has changed. So I would take Zeke higher and look for Darren McFadden in the seventh round. He'll be there. Yeah.

Real quick, so if you have already drafted, what kind of value can expect to give up for Elliot? Ooh. To get them? Yeah, if I'm in need of a running back. Well, where was he drafted in your league? If you need a running back, you need a different running back. Yeah, that's a good point. If you're in need of running back, that's the bad one to go after. Well, right now I got Tuggerli and Cook. You're all right. You think so? Yeah. Where was he drafted, though? Was he drafted later or in the front? End of the second. Yeah.

Into the second, you should be able to get him with something. The problem is they're going to want a running back back. If those are only two main running backs, I wouldn't give up either one of them for a guy that's not going to play. So I think you're probably best to stay put unless he'll take a deal for wide receivers alone. Yeah. He or she. There you go. Cool. Thanks, us. All right. Next, wow. Look at this beard. That might be able to go up, Brooks. That might be to go way up. That's all right. It's maxed out. It's maxed out.

All right, bro. I'm a tall drink of water. What can I do? Leru. So, as the king of nicknames, as you guys are, I'm starting to think that you may need to start trademarking them. I like where this is headed. Yeah, no, you're going to really love where this is headed. Don't worry, I'm not going to show you my team. I was reading the draft grades on a certain website that starts with a Y. Oh, no. I was reading the draft grades because we all poop. Right. I don't care about that. Yep. But.

That's why people love fantasy football. Rule 86. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Rule 86 right there. That is fantastic. Hey, Foot Clan, we've done it. We've made an official nickname that has gone out to the world. Rule 86, Jordan Reed. It exists.
