Fantasy Football - AFC West Breakdown + Mock Draft Promises - Podcast for 7/14

You have Bowers, you have Gentee, and you have no one else to even, like, consider looking at or... For fantasy? You don't even have someone else, in my opinion, to consider thinking about considering. Like, I'm not going to be worrying about Jalen Naylor. They're a tier below consideration? Correct. So, I really like both Bowers and Gentee. They're going to have so much volume and they have so much talent that that just... That combination, when you're that good and you get that much work, yeah, it's going to be tough sledding. Yeah, you're going to be playing down and you might not score as many touchdowns.

But you're just going to volume your way to fantasy points. Mike, you know where Jason and I stand on our love of Gentee going into the year. But does the upside of Gentee and that workload outweigh the risk to you for a team that's projected to only win five games? So, Gentee is like... You know, I'm a few spots behind you guys because I just... I think he's... The situation is risky. I have no problem. Ashton Gentee, the player, is awesome. You know, he did handle a huge workload last year, which is... Somehow it's an ability. I mean, I don't know how to quantify it, but there's just guys that can do it and there's guys that cannot.

He, you know... When a play actually gets going, he's electric. He will force a missed tackle. I think, you know, they took Mike Washington Jr., just size speed freak. They took him in the fourth round. The way that Koob's handled Charbs and Ken Walker gives me at least a little bit of pause that a backup might be in there more than you want. So, it's... I think he is a sketchy pick at ADP where I can see everything going right and he's just truly, truly a dominant player because he's... The talent wins out. Like, do you think he could lead the league in rushing yards?

No, not in rushing. Okay. And if you're saying, like, yards from scrimmage, maybe. He has to catch a whole bunch of passes. I got you. You know what I mean? I'm like, you can't lead the league in rushing. I don't like that start to the year, man. Chargers on the road, Saints on the road, Chiefs, New England, and Buffalo. With their situation, and they're going to win... I'd be like, let's say they have a great year. They win six games. Like, the first overall pick to winning six games with a quarterback switch. That's a solid season. You can't lead the league in rushing with that.

Nick Chubb could. Kyle, that's an interesting trivia question. Like, what's the... Worst record for a rushing leader? I wonder if he could get it. Get that stat for us before the show ends. I don't know if he's that talented. I think... I think two things left to consider. We saw last year Kirk Cousins. When he took over, Drake London was injured for most of those games. B. John Robinson. And Kyle Pitts. Yeah. And Kyle Pitts. Yeah. The tight end and the running back. The consolidation for Kirk Cousins was unbelievable. 106 target pace for B. John during those final games. Pitts was great.

So, you've already seen... Like, when I watched Kirk Cousins' film, he has lost it. He does not have the deep ball. He's not... I love Kirk Cousins. We've always been a big stan of Kirk Cousins. Yes. Back in the Vikings' day, we felt like he was so under-respected. But he is not that guy anymore. But to the tight end and running back, you know, not the deep shots. Those aren't going to happen. But he's going to support these two phenomenally. And then the other thing that I don't think we've made enough big a deal about is the offensive change here.

Clint Kubiak coming in is not just a good offensive mind coming in. Sure. He's replacing an inept situation where you had this weird nepotism with Pete Carroll hiring his two sons as like an offensive assistant and offensive line coach. And then ends up firing other people, but not his sons. It was just like... It was a really bad situation they were in. And they're going to swing the pendulum to a really good situation. They still don't have the talent on the offensive line. But I believe that there will be... I mean, I really like those two players. I think... I mean, I would...

I have no fears of either one at value. I think Gentry returns on value this year. And Brock is... So, I must stand corrected. As there was a player on a six-win team who led the league in rushing. Okay. In 2010. You want to guess? Oh, I could never. No, you couldn't. But his name's Arian Foster, baby! Oh. Your dream boat. Yeah. That's how good Foster was. All right. Thursday's show is a mock draft episode. Yeah. You do not want to miss that one. And then we'll start jumping into the NFC on Saturday. Yeah. Get into the UDK. Hey, Jason is guaranteed a new feature that we're not sure is even going to be there.

Oh, yeah. Update your app immediately. UltimateDraftKid.com. Give us feedback. And let us know how those mock drafts are going at sportatfantasyfootballers.com. How in the world does a running back have 1,600 rushing yards, 16 rushing touchdowns? So he averaged over 100 yards per game on the ground. And you're 6-10. Maybe. How is that even possible? I wonder what they were in one-score games, Mike. Probably pretty crappy. All right. That is going to do it for today's show. Shout out to Arian Foster, my main man. Maybe we'll get one of those years from Gente. Goodbye. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers Podcast.
