Let's talk news. News and notes from around the league presented by Sleeper. It was just one play, Jason. It was one play during the upcoming season where he would have gone for an extra...

20 yards, but then he got tripped up. He got that. Turf monster got him. Well, it was a replay review, actually. He stepped out. He stepped out on a screen pass. I just realized that. Tyler Lockett. That's how detailed our projections are. Tyler Lockett is a, is definitely an unofficial my guy. Like, I'm, if we were doing my guys as late as we usually do them.

We all know what that means, Jason. That means that if Tyler Lockett goes ham, you get credit. If Tyler Lockett sucks, he's unofficial. Look, I didn't say that. No, if you think you're like shedding light on a situation. I'm shedding. This is for the listeners. This is not for you. We know who you are. Yes. And that is exactly right. Listeners for years. Listeners, when Tyler Lockett goes ham, I won't get credit.

All right, this is news. Jets wide receiver Robbie Anderson missed practice on Tuesday with a calf injury. Adam Gaze came out and said, look, I don't know if it's a concern. Anytime you have a soft tissue issue, it's an unknown. That's why he's day to day. We will keep working on it. Hopefully he'll be ready to go. It's so lame. Eleven days is a good amount of time to get right if it was a minor strain. Yes, but it's so lame. It's also, it's scary because.

While he should be okay for week one, he now carries risk of a reaggravation. That's the real fear. It's not whether or not he'll be ready to go. It's whether or not he's going to hurt it worse once he's back. So the risk rating is higher on Robbie Anderson now if you have your drafts. The upside is still there. I mean, he was already up against it. I think he was a good wide receiver. Schedule-wise, he's already up against it. Week one.

He should see Tredavius White, one of the best cornerbacks in the league from the Buffalo Bills. If he's already a bit hobbled and just trying to play through something, this is, like I said, so lame. Yeah, it is lame because you spend, I mean, I don't mean you, I mean, we, all of us, the fantasy owner, you at home. So excited for Robbie Anderson's potential. Jason literally brought up the Jets in like multiple context this week as a team that he's got good vibes for. Thanks, Jay.

You're welcome. And now you just have a little bit of a cloud hanging over him. You got a cloud hanging over this guy. Deshaun Jackson suffered a broken left ring finger in Tuesday's practice. The team is optimistic. He'll be ready to roll in week one. Again, I was going to light him up. I was going to play him. Week one. I'm feeling a little bit uncomfortable now. We don't know. He's visiting a hand specialist as a precautionary measure. That's what they said yesterday. George Costanza.

No, no, no, that's a hand model. Oh, not a hand specialist. It's very different. But, yeah, I doubt Deshaun Jackson to be a hand model with how that finger looks right now. This happens to wide receivers pretty frequently. Yeah, and he'll play through it. He will. But it will affect him. Yeah, it's just not what you want. But you don't always give what you want. Bill O'Brien, not hopeful that Kiki Q2 will be ready for week one. What happened? All we had was the report that he returned to practice.

But that was kind of, I guess, a very cursory return. Yeah, I mean, this is the frustration. If you actually, you know, see his quote and watch, he's frustrated. And how could you not be as the head coach of Kiki QT? You've never had him. You've only seen little flashes of this great wide receiver that you drafted to be a part of your team. And he is, he's just always injured. I mean, he is.

as bad as it gets out there. I love Kiki QT's value early in the off season. He was one of my favorite targets. There's no way I will draft him. He's just too. His soft tissue is made of tissue paper. And you don't want soft tissue paper. Nope. Great point. Not concerned about Cam Newton. That's what Ron Rivera said for week one. No doubt in his mind that'll play. I don't think fantasy owners were very concerned in the drafts that I've been witnessing.

Should be there. And then we brought this name up actually on our series XM show on Monday. Dari Agungboale. Yes, that's a player. It's an awesome name. He's also going to be the buck's third down back to start the year, at least according to beat reporters in Tampa. It's not been a pretty picture trying to sift through the Tampa Bay backfield. But Agumboale is getting first teamwork with Ronald Jones with Peyton Barber.

That's how bad a pass catcher and pass protector Ronald Jones is. This is why I've been saying all offseason. If you can't pass protect for Bruce Ariens, you aren't getting on the field. And the truth is Ronald Jones will be on the field. And it will be at the expense of Peyton Barber. And it will hurt if you roster both on, I don't know, your League of Record team bench.

Did you pick up Agumba Walling? Of course. You're going to get the trifect on there? I'm going to add Ellington as well. Oh, for sure. You got to scoop them up. I want four bucking your backs on the bench. That way I can cut four players in week one for the waiver wires. The Tampa Big Backfield. Gross. Gross. Anybody who sees me roll them into the lineup is just licking their chops. That was today's news and notes.

pack white castle sliders. All right, it's time. The judge has his robe on, the gavel locked and loaded. Let's enter the courtroom. The fantasy court with Judge Giamatti. Plaintiffs Jason and Andy are accusing Mike the fantasy hitman Wright of putting a hit out on Carson wins his enormous value in 2019.

enormous value enormous value so we're accusing mike we're accusing mike of this that's darn right objection leading the witness um that's just he's not the witness he's the judge you're leading the judge that's acceptable yeah you can you look great today by the way man so good that robe so so black basically this this uh discussion this uh case comes down to the fact that jason and myself very very

Hi on Carson Wins this year. He's a my guy for me. Jason, you have ranked him, just like I've ranked him. We've both got him as a top five quarterback. Mike, you've got him down at number 10, the double digit numbers. That sounds disgusting. Here are some thoughts about Carson Wins. One. Your honor. Your honor. Your honor. Carson Wins has already been.

the number one quarterback in fantasy while he was out there a couple years ago in his MVP season. During that time, he was on pace for 4,000 yards, 41 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Last year, he was on pace for 4,400 yards, 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, which would work out to more fantasy points. The difference, the only difference, is the rushing totals. Last year,

He was wearing this big knee brace coming off an ACL injury and was not running the ball. I expect him to be fully healthy. He has not had a brace on. He is mobile. People are talking about we've got the same old Carson Winspeck. And he has the best receiving core of his career adding D J.J.R. Sega Whiteside, a year two from a rookie tight end, Dallas Goddard, who's probably the best tight end in the entire national football league.

May I, Jason? Yes. He also jumped his completion percentage from 60 to 70 percent last year, had a better passer rating, was actually playing very, very well. One year removed from the ACL. Now you've got your legs back. You've got the ability to run just a little bit more, more confidence in the leg for planting better weapons. We've talked about it. I said it before. Chris Sims came out and said, look, Carson Wentz is the more physically gifted version of Andrew Luck.

And we know what luck has done. Uh-oh. He is being ranked by Mike, in my opinion, and others. The only people that don't have them up in that upper echelon are those that are worried about the injury cloud. It's the basis of availability, not ability. And he's got the weapons. Erds, Jeffrey, who, by the way, Mike, you love Alshon, Jeffrey. I do. Miles Sanders. Mike, you love Miles Sanders. I do. What a pass-catching threat he is. Dallas Goddert, Nelson Aguilar.

D. Jacks. I do love Dallas Goddard. Yes, you do, Jason. And we've broken down just the tangible, measurable impact as Sean Jackson has as the best deep threat in football on any quarterback. He's come in contact, two minus James Winston. Better weapons, removed from injury, proven he can be a top three fantasy quarterback. Has a great play caller in Doug Peterson. And I will end with this, Mike.

Baker Mayfield, you have them at 5, you have Wins at 10, and as Jackie Childs would say, that is outrageous, egregious, preposterous to give Baker, who has never done it, the 5 rank, and Wins, who has done it, the 10 rank. I hear what my colleagues are saying here. I just, I'm not exactly sure where to start. Let's start with Carson Wins last season. Full admit.

Admission of guilt would work for us. Okay. I will be ready for your admission of guilt because last year while he was playing, he was the quarterback 18 in points per game. His 16 game pace, Jason, I am so glad you brought that up. 4,400 yards, 31 touchdowns. That reminds me of a couple fellas. Last year, Kirk Cousins, 4,300 yards and 30 touchdowns. Jason, you have besmirched the name of Kirk Cousins as a fantasy player last year.

Philip Rivers, 4,300 yards and 32 touchdowns. I love the way he runs the ball. Okay, well, Kurt Cousins, Philip Rivers. Quarterbacks 11 and 12 on the season last year. Let's get to the rushing fallacy. 2017, when Carson Wentz was your quote MVP run, he was averaging 23 rushing yards a game. That's not a running quarterback. That's a mobile quarterback who can move around in the pocket. That's fine. But he doesn't put on rushing yards.
