Trade Betrayals, Film Standouts + Major FF Questions - Fantasy Football Podcast for 6/7

with positional, like, requirements. So whenever I try to balance a draft, I just like that freedom later on. As opposed to, let's say you go wide receiver, wide receiver, wide receiver, like you are, you got to have some gall to take a fourth wide receiver at that point. Here's a question, really important one, Jason. Instagram from Kellan, how do you guys keep your voices so silky smooth after the UDK videos? Oh, they, well, one, they don't start.

Silky smooth. No. They're made... He said honey. Honey is how bears do it. Yeah. For sure. We make our voices silky smooth because of those videos. Those videos are the workouts. Prior to those videos is horrendous. Yeah. It's just like... Smoker level. This is what my voice sounds like. And then once we do a hundred videos, this is what you get. The end result is

beautiful. Yeah, and then you start doing all the drops for us and everything. Instagram question from C Griffin 864. Why not take CMC number one? Why not? Well, the answer is injury history. On our profile video of Christian McCaffrey, I basically said, I think if you're not a coward, you should take CMC number one. And I said, I am a coward. Right. Two of us have them number one.

This is the right crew to ask why not to. I will say this, like in the ultimate draft, get one of the interesting components to the auction values for these players is the auction values factor in risk. So even though two-thirds of us have Christian McCaffrey at number one over Jonathan Taylor, Jonathan Taylor has a higher auction value in those rankings because of the risk aversion and how you're distributing your budget. Yeah, I mean, on a on the field basis,

Christian McCaffrey is the best. He'll score more than everybody, at least he has over the last several years. And there is no real reason. There truly is no real reason to think that Christian McCaffrey will get injured again based upon the injuries he's had in the past. But should it happen, which it could happen to anyone, it could happen to Jonathan Taylor. Should it happen, it will feel.

so obvious and like you are such a dumb dumb. Yes. And you will, I mean, I can't do it because I've had it. I've had Christian McCaffrey parts of the last two years. I think if I haven't experienced the last two years, like if I'm someone that just didn't have the pleasure of having Christian McCaffrey on my team, I'd be like all in on him this year because Kyle, read that stat out loud. He's played 10 games last two years and seven were in the top six.

Yeah, I mean, he is a game breaker. Two of those games, he didn't score a touchdown. Let me ask you a question here, Jason. Do you believe his value changes if they are the team that gets Baker Mayfield? Yeah, yeah, I think his value is, I think the offense is significantly better with Baker Mayfield than with Sam Darnold. Okay. More touchdown upside. I mean, if you tell me.

Does Baker get double-digit rushing touchdowns with Sam Darnold or with Baker? It would be with Baker, not only because more scoring opportunities, but Darnold actually will run touchdowns in around the goal line far more than Baker does. Here's a question from Alex on Instagram. Best fantasy football, or sorry, biggest fantasy football argument, the three of you have been in. Debo is the one that comes to mind for me.

I mean, genuinely, like, we had an off-the-air argument, and Andy has boom-shack-a-locked me on that one. It's one of the very rare times we've had one of those, too. It's the only one that comes to my mind. Can you think of? Well, look, I took it as leagues, and I do have one with Mike. Oh, okay. Which is what better day to bring it up than when Mike isn't here to defend himself. Don't go on him. But he has nothing to defend himself with. I mean, there's no defense for what he did. But, I mean, years and years ago, ironically,

at a flag football game, I had told him that I was closed, like I disclosed with a disclaimer. Like I said at the beginning and go, hey, I'm going to tell you this information, but this is in confidence. And I, can you believe he did this? And I told him, I said, hey, I'm closing in on a deal for Calvin Johnson. Like it's, it's at the 11th, you know, it's about to happen. I just need to, you know, I'm massaging this. I'm talking to this other manager in the league. This is at flag football.

Where we're teammates. Yeah. You know, just like. Friends even. Friends even. Formerly. And then I go home and lo and behold, what pops through my inbox? A trade has been accepted. A trade has been accepted. And Mike, the fantasy hitman, right, has traded for Calvin Johnson in the league. Oh, man. That's brutal. I didn't know if we would ever speak again. I can't believe that.

were on a show together after something like I can't believe just hours of therapy that's like that's like that's a cold-hearted betrayal get that person out of your league type of move I was so mad I get it I was so mad but at the same time at the same time Mike learned that

There's a line? No, I'm saying that a very valuable player was willing to be parted with by their manager and he went and he got the job done. It was cold-blooded. Let me ask you this. Did he win the championship that year? I don't think so. I don't think so either. So, okay. If he had it would have been acceptable. Honestly, I think that that was half of why we're still friends is that the trade didn't work out to give him a great advantage the way it looked like it was going to. But yeah, obviously that's why he's not here today.

I brought that back up. It's the anniversary. Every year. We can't be in the, we can't spend any time together on that day. June 7th is a day we don't talk about. All right. I think that's going to wrap it up here for today's episode of the podcast. Thank you for joining us. Ultimate draft kit.com.
