AFC South Breakdown + HYPE Train!

Week one, the first target that goes to Jordan Howard is getting bobbled and intercepted. Oh, no. Don't you do that to him? There's just no way. With all that pressure now, that first target is going to be like right off the chest. Nine route. First play from Snap, or first snap, they need to run Jordan Howard on a nine route from the slot. Just do it. Get it out of the way. All right. Do you believe that Jordan Howard will?

improve his reception totals. Yes, I do believe that. All right. Tampa Bay talking about Deshaun Jackson that he's been working in the slot. Why is this relevant? Well, last year's rookie wide receiver, Chris Godwin, has established himself on the outside opposite Mike Evans. And here we have Deshaun Jackson now, potentially competing for snaps in the slot, moving inside at times. Adam Humphreys is there. They have a pair of great tight ends in O.J. Howard.

Cameron Brate, does this decrease your excitement for Deshaun Jackson this bit of news? It does for me, not because I think he's not going to be great in the slot. That's a great location. But I believe the reason they're moving him to the slot is because Chris Godwin needs to be more involved. This will be Deshawn Jackson's last year in Tampa Bay. Chris Godwin.

is the future there. Matt Harmon from reception perception, which you can, you know, you can view those reception inside the ultimate draft kit. He was a big fan of Chris Godwin last year as a prospect, just absolutely great at the contested catch. And so, yeah, this is the buck saying we've got to get him on the field. Let's move to Sean Jackson to the slot. One of the things from our ultimate draft kit that we mentioned is we update it frequently. And that includes the sleepers breakouts, busts, and values, which got a complete.

overhaul yesterday. We pulled some people out Deshawn Jackson. We took this news combined with other bits of news that have come along about Chris Godwin, the James Winston suspension, those type of things. Deshaun Jackson is no longer a value in the ultimate draft kit. There are a number of new names in there that you can check out. I will say it's Deshaun Jackson from the slot is actually appealing.

To me. I agree that I think it was the right move for us to move him out of the values. Tampa Bay, I'm looking at Sharp Football Stats.com, and he has charted out Tampa Bay. 62% of the time they went three wide receivers, which is in the top half of the league. So we know that more and more and more, three wide is becoming the go-to formation.

So he will be, even if Chris Godwin takes the job on the outside, Dijax is going to be out there a lot. And then he's going to be matched up against an inferior corner with his speed. So it's still interesting to me. All right. I had to turn it back on for this one. The Providence Journal's Mark Daniels is writing that Cordell Patterson has been turning heads as a receiver during camp. Now, for those of you that do not know, Patterson,

was signed by the New England Patriots traded for by the New England Patriots this past off season. I want people to understand the turnover that has happened in New England at the wide receiver position. Brandon Cooks. He's gone. He's no longer there. Julian Edelman suspended for four games to start the year. Malcolm Mitchell has now been released from the team. Jordan Matthews. Jordan Matthews. Gone. Gone. So.

there is the potential for some gadgetry with Patterson. What do you guys, do you buy any of this hype? Because of all the hype players in the NFL, Patterson's had his day on the hype train. He wrote it around for two years. More than two. The only way that Corderell Patterson will be.

relevant in fantasy leagues more than likely is if you're in a return yardage league they'll use them in special teams but i i will say this like i i have him in our dynasty league and uh you know i'm flaunting this news to these guys yes i i quarter al patterson is an excellent running back and they should use him that way and i wouldn't doubt if if they get him you know five or six carries a game corduro paterson

has been on the hype train so long. I'm going to refer to him as the snowpiercer because that's his entire existence. He's never lived anywhere else. He has only lived on the train and it's only to escape from the outside world. I kind of like that. Yeah, that's a good one. He will have probably die on that train. He will have some big plays and I'm with Chase. If he's on your dynasty waiver wire, certainly you should have scooped him up.

as soon as he went to the Patriots, but I'm not expecting big things. All right, Adam Schefter reported the number three overall picks. Sam Darnel, quarterback, has a very fair shot to be the week one starter. He is the one QB I thought would for sure start week one. Yeah. And, you know, for somebody that I'm a fan of, Robbie Anderson, I actually, it gives me more hesitancy about Robbie Anderson simply because there's going to be growing pains with Sam Darnold. Maybe he doesn't take as many chances. Josh McCown is a gunslinger.

and threw it up for Robbie Anderson in a lot of circumstances that, you know, Sam Darnold may do that. Right. You know, Robbie Anderson has a way of getting open, but it gives me slightly less confidence because we haven't seen it before. Right. The athletics, the athletic reported that Darren Sproles could have a, quote, real role on the offense this season. One of the best things as a player is to have a role on the offense if you're on a team.

Darren Sproles offer fantasy guys. We don't talk about him. We talk about Corey Clement, J. J. Jai. We talk about the other offensive weapons there. But Darren Sproles, I think we think of as an afterthought, a little used player. Do you think he could have more of a role? Is there a chance that he's going to be added on fantasy rosters at some point during the season? Yes. I think there's a chance he will be added because he'll have a big game or two. But he's going to be more of a thorn in the side of the Corey Clement truthers than anything. Okay.

I did drop him in my dynasty roster last week. He was picked up. So speculative ads. All right. There's been a lot of talk about Cortland Sutton, wide receiver for the Denver Broncos. Gonna be a beast. I heard an interview with Demarius Thomas talking about how impressed he is with Cortland Sutton, how Sutton goes up like he's getting a rebound in the NBA and can box out and go get the ball and runs.

Good rounds. I want to just warn the show. We have hit two basketball references. Yes. So we need to be careful. If we go over three, I'm pretty sure the table explodes. Shaq, so far, and then we'll go with what, Charles Barkley here on the rebounding. Oh, come on! Okay. Be careful. Did Jason just change our news report? Oh, I was really hoping I could. The last bit of hype. I can hide this one. Jason has taken the font size.

down to nearly impossible to read and also changed the font color to a near impossible to read gray. I couldn't delete it. Why don't you read it in the voice that you would prefer? Uh, okay. So this one is out there. The lion's second round running back carry on Johnson. He's shown well in past protection, uh, through training camp. So next moving on. Next bit of news. Don't not draft carry on Johnson in your mock drafts. If carry on is showing well in past protection.

That is humongous for getting him on the field. The reality is he is so far in a way their best running back. And he's talented in all facets of the game that he's got to one out there. The issue is the Lions. The issue is they've not been a...

quality running team in a long time. Their offensive line is good on paper, but has not yet been seen in reality. The offensive coordinator. They're offensive lion. Are you anti-selling right now? No, I'm just, I'm saying that Carriott Johnson is great. The issue you have to worry about is the lion's offense as a whole, their ability to run the ball. But I think he's going to succeed. I mean, obviously I think that. And the time. The biggest truth there is. To be startable. Startable. Right. Yes. I mean, we've seen.

We've seen players do it early, Dalvin Cook last season, and we've seen players take some time. Alvin Camara took a few weeks, right? We thought the depth chart looked murky for Alvin Camara last season. Most people that, you know, finished the year with Alvin Camara, they scooped them off of waivers in week three. All right, we've got to get into our divisional breakdown. Before we do that, I want to thank today's sponsor. You've heard of them. We love them. It's Casper.

We're going to look at a division that I think is one of the most competitive in the NFL. This thing turned around. Jacksonville, 10 and 6 last year, Tennessee 9 and 7. The Texans obviously lost to Sean Watson during the year, 4 and 12. The Colts without Andrew Luck, 4 and 12. But I'm excited to talk about this division and what's going to happen and all of the potential fantasy values that exist. Let's kick it off. Jaguars. All right, let's talk about the Jags.

I think the one thing, there's lots to talk about in Jacksonville. I know there's a lot of question marks around the past catchers and the wide receiving core, but let's bring this up. The Jags ran the ball on 47.6% of all their plays last year. That is the highest total in the NFL more than the Dallas Cowboys, more than the Bills, more than the Panthers, more than the Vikings, all teams that we associate with running the ball. The Jaggs did it the most.

And it's exactly what Tom Coughlin wanted. They wanted to take pressure off of Blake Bortles. They invested a very high draft pick in Leonard Fournett. And they committed to the run. And it led them to a wonderful season. They're a running and defense team. So that brings question marks forward when it comes to fantasy value, right? I don't think anybody here is questioning the value of Leonard Fournett. I think we all believe in Leonard Fournett as a top ten.

running back. Am I right? Yeah, 100%. The only worries with Leonard Fournett has been his injury history. But even, you know, I think sometimes that's overblown because his injury history has caused him to miss a game or two, you know, here and there is not something where he's, you know, had to miss an entire season. And so, you know, they're going to run the ball. This is what they found success with last year. And last year, their strength of schedule against...

the run was one of the hardest in the league. They had the 31st, easiest schedule against the run. I'm even more confused. So, I mean, and this year it gets a lot easier. They also improve their offensive line. I want to throw that in there. They signed the biggest catch of the offensive line during the off season, guard Andrew Norwell out of Carolina. And that's huge for me. And they were a middle of the road ranked.
