Episode notes
The hosts run a 12-team half-PPR mock draft with Andy as a mayhem commissioner. Each competitor gets three powers: veto a pick and force another position, replace a pick with Andy's choice, or hand control to the opponent. The draft produces running jokes about the turn, Mike's late receiver haul, Jason's forbidden Alan Robinson, and the fantasy names Fergalicious and Babe Davis. The Dynasty segment celebrates nasty-boy waiver hits and best-ball volatility.
Inside the episode
64 passagesfor us for fantasy. Dalton Kincaid is so alluring of he was the first round pick. Did the bills, Kyle did the bills trade up for? Yes. So they traded up for Dalton Kincaid. That's another input of how much a team really wants to get a player. They don't want to take a chance that they're not going to get him. The comps coming out are ridiculous. The training camp has been great. The training camp has been great. The snap numbers. were already very interesting from their first week. And I'm scared to go for redraft because of knowing what the investment means that I have to take him. I probably have to ride it out for a couple weeks, see if he's actually going to turn into anything. And then more than likely, I'm going to have to go to the waiver wire or make a trade and fill my tight-in position that way. But in best ball, you're going to take multiple tight ends. So you get at least a little bit of exposure to
What if he is the one outlier? Because outliers do happen. You get athletic upside. Yes. And we say, I mean, look, let's just be honest here. Rookie wide receivers make contributions all the time. Yeah. Dalton Kincaid, yes, he's categorically a rookie tight end, but the odds are he's going to be running routes the majority of the time. If he's on the field, Gabe Davis inconsistent, no Isaiah McKinsey, Cole Beasley is gone. Khaled Shakir has been. Everything I've read at camp and I've read a few things, it's been fine. It's been Deonti Hardy who's getting the bus. Yeah, he's getting opportunities, which is a name people should know about. So if... He was mentioned as a nasty boy yesterday. You know, if you pretend Dalton Kincaid's drafted as a slot-wide receiver, then that category changes. It does. So, and Kyle Pitts had a thousand receiving yards as a rookie. It wasn't a fun ride, but in basketball, I get the argument. I, I...
totally see the argument and obviously much better in best ball than in redraft. My issue is on Underdog, he's the tight end 11. It's just like specific. That's fair. That's fair. It's just I feel like he's too hot. Yeah, I mean, like someone like Joanne Johnson, who maybe you don't like the fact that the New Orleans Saints have John Johnson and they have Foster Moreau and they have Tayson Hill and now they have Jimmy Graham on the goal line. But guess what, like John Johnson is showing out a camp. And I'll just take all his good games and none of his bad ones in best ball. So, all right, those are some ideas for you.
