The TRUTH: RBs Part 2 + Title Game Talk, Musical Chairs - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/31

Did something happen after 2020? Like, did someone leave the team? Well, no, yeah, the arrival of your hero, James Winston at that point in time. Hey, I would take that if they would let it play. Instead, they're like, no, we're going with Andy Dalton. So, yeah, Alvin Camara in a dynasty format. This. You are just, Delvin Cook or Alvin Camara? Dalvin. Even if he, even if he, even about Dalvin Camara. Would you take him over both? Sure. I think if Dalvin. Cook gets cut, which is a lot of alliteration. I would still prefer where he goes to over Alvin Camara situation. And legalities. Unfortunately of the, you have March 1st is the assault case for Alvin Camara that there's video of it. So that likely turns into a suspension. I have, I have no idea. Is that one game? Is it six games?

Don't know. I would rather talk about my made-up scenario. Is Devin Singletary under contract next year? He's a free agent. Excellent. What about the brothers? You talk about him leaving Minnesota. Devin Singletary is a free agent. What if you put the brothers together in Buffalo? Dalvin and Jane. I like it. Pretty, pretty fun. That would be a lot of fun. I think I'd be a little freaked out as a Delvin Cook manager, though. I was going to say it probably wouldn't be the best situation for his fantasy. Yeah. Totals. Finishing up here, we already talked about Zeke, who was at 19. We talked about it on the last show. So James Connor ends our show. I mean, he's great. James Connor was great. He was so good. And he's a player that you'll look at six months from now, five months from now, whatever. And you'll say, oh, he finished at 20. Oh, he's old. But when he played football this year in the second half, he was really good.

James Connor was one of those guys that destroyed my teams. Because I was, all the chips were in on James Connor. The entire offseason, I couldn't believe his draft value. He felt like he was plummeting for a guy who was coming out of a huge performance. Things had not changed. If they had changed, they'd gotten even better in James Connor's favor. He's going to score so many touchdowns. So I'm drafting him everywhere. And then the start of the season is just atrocious, followed up by a... a lengthy injury, you missed three games. So by then, your teams are already, you're having to make decisions about, do I hold on to this guy? My teams are already wrecked. And then by the time it goes back, you don't have him anymore, and he has this huge run takes people to titles. Number one, Jason, number one over the second half in terms of consistency rank. Yeah, the truth score. He was unbelievable in the second half of the year. Now, part of that is the fact that.

One player that was absent was Kyler Murray for a lot of those games. Kyle was looking up some of the splits as to how James Connor has been over the last two years with Kyler and without Kyler. It's drastically different, and it's primarily because of the opportunities. In games with Kyler, 14.8 opportunities per game. Games without Kyler, 22 and a half. Some of those games, you know, it's a smaller sample, nine games without Kyler. Some of those games were when he lost. Chase Edmonds as well and had a bunch of carries. But I do think there is some validity to this, where when Kyler's not there, James Connor became kind of the focal point of the offense. He had to. The offense ran through James Connor with a backup quarterback in place. That being said to start this next year. Yeah, it's going to be that to begin the year, probably. It's going to be a backup quarterback. And, you know, they're still paying James Connor quite a bit of money. We'll have to see what.

the offensive system. There's going to be a lot of offensive change in Arizona. But what we do know from the end of the season is that James Connor was a very effective running back once again. And, you know, RB5 from week nine on. Can catch the ball, can score touchdowns, can move a pile, and we'll be valuable without Kyler. All right. What's the truth about Jonathan Taylor? Give it to me in a couple sentences here since he finished at 35, but obviously the number one pick off the. in fantasy dress. Yeah, the second half when he started to get healthier before then re-agravating the injury, he was consistency rank of nine. He's a very good running back. Just had a cleanup procedure on the ankle. Betts says that this should not be a concern. He should come into 2023 fully healthy and he'll be a top three fantasy pick. Any concerns with being, you know, generally within the vicinity of Jim Mercy?

Yeah, yes. A few concerns. Few concerns. Lesson to be learned on Colts players. So did you ever hear the, do you hear the story about Josh McDaniels and the Colts? Because you remember, oh, the, remember he spurned them at the altar, right? The poop story. I, yes, yes. Okay, I have not heard. First of all, if there is a poop story in football, it should be on this show. So, Jason, you have not heard this. So Josh McDeanels, if you remember, he was going to take the job. I do remember when he was the head coach of the Colts for a moment before Frank Reich, and then he just bailed on them. The story is being reported that his wife essentially was so kind of, let's say, skeved. Spooked. Spooked by her interactions with Jim Ersei. When he came over, he was like very weird at dinner and then, like, departed to the restroom.

for an elongated amount of time. Like the amount you spend. Right. So a big bada boom. Like a big boom. And then came a really uncomfortable amount of time in a bathroom for this professional meeting. Right. Like should I call an ambulance? Like 40 minutes type of. What? I don't do that. No, I know. You would. But you don't. So they backed out. So they backed out. I think they were trying. Was that on McAfee? They were talking about that. Yeah, I don't remember where I got reported, and I don't care. But it's, yeah, because I don't care where it was reported. It's true story. It has to be true. I mean, never lost a coach due to a bowel movement, but, uh, wow. But what, uh, they still, what are they, what are they going to do? What are they going to do? Oh, you, you, you're setting, you want me to, like, tease you went to Jeff Saturday discussion here, Mike? Mike would love it. I don't think you want, I think you want this to happen. Here's the thing.

It's the angels on the shoulder of like. The angel on the devil, you mean? Yes. But it's not two angels, Mike. Correct. But for the Colts, the team, the human beings that have devoted their life to the game of football, the fans who have devoted so much time and heart and energy and money into the Colts. For them, I don't want Jeff Saturday back. For the content. For the Benny Hill music playing on a weekly basis. then Jeff Saturday can go there. But, well, St. Cardinals will share this music. But, like, the fact that Jeff Saturday went out and did what he did, which was fail at epic proportions of the worst collapse of all time, and then the final week of the season losing to the worst team in football. And Urse still wants to hire him.

as the head coach is. Guess how good of a friend he is? You've got a friend in me. We need the FBI looking into what is happening over there. All right. Quick shout out. Damien Pierce, Hall, consistency rank of 13. Breece Hall, consistency rank of four in his limited opportunity. Breece Hall, I had teased a video a while back of there was five running backs that finished over the 70% good threshold. And it was who's the fifth one? I don't think anybody guessed it. It was Brice Hall who had a down week one, as you would expect, and then Dominion. Breece Hall will be part of the rookie review episode coming up soon. We're also going to break down the truth of the wide receiver position. Next time on the fantasy football. Goodbye. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast.
