Carson Wentz Reaction + Jason’s Collections, Mailbag - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/23

I mean, if you're like, well, he gets injured too much, he's too old. Well, you were right. Oh, well, when he's on the field, he's great. You were right. I went back and I watched every Jalen Hertz throw. And I forgot about the, like, 81 yard bomb to Desha. I was like, oh, Deshaunette playing football. Look at him. Why don't, like, this dude's still got the burners. But, yeah, he's irrelevant. And if he, if he decides to not hang him up, but sign with some other team as a gadget speed guy, he'll, he'll be irrelevant for fantasy. He won't have.

enough volume to be someone that you could reliably plug into your lineup or even have on your roster. That's how I view him. Well, you're dead right. I mean, he hasn't had a top 36 finish since 2016, a top 20 finish since 2014. His days are done, but still seem to have the wheels when he was out there on the field until, you know, the wheels got hurt. Marvin Jones says he wants to sign with a Super Bowl contender.

Let me name some teams that you could put Marvin Jones on because he can play. Baltimore, Green Bay. Yeah. What was that again, Jason? Yeah. I mean, that is, can you picture a better situation? No. Like, I think that is the perfect, that's the peanut butter and jelly. You know, here's a red zone deep field stretching guy.

that is far more reliable than an MVS, you know, or an Equino or Z. Brown. Or a Lazard. Yeah, for sure. You know, Aaron Rogers could absolutely support both of those guys. And he's got the mold of a touchdown machine. It's just like the literal perfect pairing, in my opinion. Other destinations could be Tennessee. Corey Davis could be leaving Washington, Indianapolis. We just talked about Indianapolis. That would be a nice destination. Somebody for Carson Wins to overthrow.

At first, at first I thought of that like a monarch or a government, like he's going to overthrow him. And then I was like, oh, no, that makes far more sense to just simply pass the ball a little too long. All right. And then the athletics, Jeff Howe reporting the Patriots have had conversations regarding every potential quarterback trade target in the league. Yeah, that makes sense.

And according to every other team in that market, they said, how about no? You sit in this for a while, Patriots. Oh, my goodness. An idea of the league locking out New England for a little while. A little bit of a break. Any other news that we need to talk about? I don't believe so. We're going to get into the mailbag, but before we do that, guys, it's important that I tell you about our friends at Hello Fresh. Hello Fresh.

See, there was a point in time today where we weren't sure Mike was going to be with us on the episode. On the episode, yes. And, uh, right, right. Sound a little ominous there. Yeah, we thought he was going to get overthrown by a, no, uh, but luckily he was here because there was some, you know, we have a very sophisticated kind of system at the fantasy footballers for when a responsibility comes up. And maybe it's, uh,

You know, you got the ad read for the day or you got to record a shout out video for the Foot Clan or need to do a promotional video. And yeah, some stuff is, you know, more fun than others. Some stuff is just like, you know, I'm busy. And we have a policy where if you touch your nose first, you don't have to do it. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And Jason had touched his nose. So I was going to get stuck with a mailbag drop today, apparently. And that just wouldn't have been good. Mike saved the day.

Thank you, Mike. You're welcome. Thank you, Mike. All right, into the mailbag we go. If you have a question for the show, go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com. Dial the voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB. Are you on the mic today, Al? I am. All right. Well, that's good. No voicemail questions today, huh? I'll be honest. Brooks is out, and I couldn't figure out how to access them. So here we are.

Yeah, shout out to Brooks under the weather today. So Al Borland, that's okay. You couldn't find the answering machine at the office. Exactly. Man, I wish we had an old school answering machine and we heard them coming in during the day. Oh, that would be awesome. That would be really funny. Because you'd hear people mess up their question because you know people call up the voicemail line and record it a couple times. All right. First question today, it's a dynasty question from Twitter.

Would you rather have Sequin or Derek Yeti moving forward in a dynasty league? Sequin. Yeah, it has to be Sequin. I realize he's coming off of an injury. But when you look at Sequin Barclay's age versus a second contract player like Derek Henry, I love both. I'd like to have both. But you're talking about a three-year age gap. And usually when you're looking at running backs, you're like you're hoping for three good years. You know, by the time.

three years is on, now Saquan is the age that Henry is already. Well, let me try to sway you the other direction. Who's better next year? I would pick Saquan in a redraft. Yeah, I'll still draft Saquan above him. Did you sway me? No, I didn't sway you. You answered the wrong thing. Would you draft Derek Henry over Saquan due to the injury concerns? And is that injury concerns? Derek. Derek Yetty was better than Saquan the year before without injury concerns.

So, I mean, head to head, he was better. Then he wasn't hurt last year when he, and he was 2,000-yard rusher. Established offense that can get into the red zone. He's got touchdown guarantee far superior than Saquan Barclay. I mean, I don't even know who the quarterback is in New York. Do you? Right now I do, yeah. Danny Dimes. Yeah, I mean, is that guaranteed for, would you bet your house on the fact Danny Dimes is the quarterback in week 10 next year? Barring injury. I do not.

I don't think that they will, I mean, I don't expect them to make any kind of move to replace Danny Dimes. Oh, they are, they are ready and willing to get rid of Danny Dimes in New York. This is not, their future is not committed to. We need to stop calling him Danny Dimes on the show. Why? Just because it's a bad nickname. Because it's bad, it's a bad nickname. I was just. Now is it bad because it's like.

That's just kind of a losery nickname. Or is it bad because it's actually like he doesn't really throw dimes. It's a little bit of both. No, I thought it was Danny Dimes because you get 10 cents on the dollar in terms of the ball. All right. No, it makes sense. Well, so Danny Nicol, I think will be the quarterback next year. I certainly think it will start that way. But they were starting to call for somebody else halfway through the year. That dude, that dude turns the ball over.

And it makes him really happy to do it. Steve in Ohio, who do I keep? All would be for a fifth rounder. Antonio Gibson, Justin Jefferson, Cam Acres. Oh, brother. All for a fifth. So this is really tough. I think you could make an argument for any of the three. When I'm looking at these players, I feel like the safest option is actually Justin Jefferson.

I think he is a very known commodity at that position. However, in a Keeper League, where you're going to have the best players kept already and out of value, I feel usually like I'm going to prefer to hold on to a running back. And if I do, I'm going to keep Cam Acres personally and hope for that upside of him inheriting the Todd Gurley role. But, I mean, if one of you argues for the third man, Antonio Gibson, I'd be like, yeah, I'll see it. I get it.

Mike, are you Jefferson or Gibson? I, no, I'm Acres right now. Are you? Yeah. Didn't we have this discussion on the show recently, the Acres versus Antonio Gibson? Possibly. We were talking Mixing versus Gibson, but I'm just, the volume they were giving Cam Acres at the end. And it's so difficult because everything Jason said is true. It's like, the risk of Gibson and Acres is far greater than Justin Jefferson.

the upside of getting a top five running back, which is it's in the realm of possibilities for both of those guys, in my opinion, that would outweigh what Jefferson could give you. All right. I think Elaine Jefferson. Instagram question from Dominique Shields says if you had to sport one uncommon clothing accessory for the rest of your life, what would it be? You could have a special hat, a cane, a scarf, a monocle, that type of accessory.

uh someone assuming jason would be a fedora no oh yeah we we had that we had fedora week and it was a huge not success it was oh it was a great success it really depends on whether you were the one wearing the fedora see you were and that made it not a success for you right i enjoyed it yeah i mean i think it was because how stupid i looked in it and how it doesn't fit my head at all and my head looked stupid and shrunken and um

No, if I'm going to, if I'm going to sport one accessory, I don't know. Could a, like a sports jacket? Could that be an accessory? Like I'm always, I'm always wearing a little blazer. It depends how weird it looks. Yeah. Not a regular one. Like a dumb and dumber one, maybe. Why is it got to be weird? I got to have a stupid scarf if I got a scarf on.

Uncommon clothing accessory. I mean, people wear sport jackets. When's the last time you've seen me wear a sport jacket? That doesn't matter. It's not uncommon. Why are you trying to look cool with your uncommon clothing accessory? All right. How about a cane? You want a cane? You're going to need one soon enough. No. I'll go bow tie. I'll go straight up bow tie because I feel like bow ties with t-shirts. That's just a...

It's a classic gag. And I'm not getting out of the T-shirt world. So I'm going Aussie cowboy hat. You know that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. I'll take some kind of cool neck scarf. All right. Nobody went monocle. All right. Dynasty startup question. Monocle, man. That's a lot of work. I don't have the eye muscles for a monocle. But let me ask you this. Everything you say when you use the monocle, are you smarter?

Like if I was sitting here, you're asking me a question on the show, and I pull the monocle out before I answer, hold it up like I'm looking. Uh-huh. And then answer, am I wise? No. Only if you have a British accent. Much snootier. Okay. Like, I feel like you are, you come off as just really arrogant, but I don't know about smarter. All right. Yeah, the monocles, you know, LASIC really got rid of the need for the monocles. That's from what I was. Yeah, that was it.

Also, Mike apparently looks like Cam Newton. That's what Al Borland is saying. Oh, with the killer scarfs? Yeah. You guys saw the Cam Newton. I have to bring it up. You saw the Cam Newton. I've seen clips of the interview a little bit. Well, not the interview. I'm talking about the kid at his camp that was calling him out. Oh, I heard about it. I didn't watch it, though. I earned a lot of respect for Cam. Yeah, that was pretty incredible. Yeah, the kid was atrocious. He was just...

basically trash talking Cam at his own camp for being a free agent. And Cam showed like a ton of restraint, I thought. Oh, yeah. Cam, Cam was great in that. So some kid is at the Cam Newton camp. Yeah. Like paid a bunch of money to go to the Cam Newton camp. Cam Newton, a previous NFL MVP was in the Super Bowl. I understand maybe he doesn't have what he had, but he can still teach you.
