FA Frenzy + Big Questions, Who Am I?

This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Every football fan is different. Some won't wash their lucky mustard-stained jersey until the season's over. Some insist they can't sit down on third downs and some pick their favorite team because, I don't know, just like football fandom, nobody's life is exactly the same. And that's why State Farm gets to know you, not as a policy number, but as an actual person.

so they can help personalize a coverage plan that's just for you. Whether it's game day or just another Tuesday, State Farm has you covered. This is the story of the one.

To the Fantasy Footballers Podcast. Coming to you from pristineauction.com studios with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Ah, welcome in. Woo-hoo!

Rockets away today. Welcome into the show. The fantasy football is back again, Andy, Mike, and Jason. The date, it's Tuesday, March 19th. We've got more free agent frenzy on the show today. I'm going to play a game together, a little Who Am I, get you through all the fantasy football news, notes, information. How are you gentlemen doing this fine afternoon? I'm all right. I'm all right.

Now, in fairness, you did say you were extremely tired. Well, here's the problem. Post lunch tired. I ate a pizza for lunch. And while most people eat a slice of pizza, I ate a pizza for lunch. Well, and where you went wrong was you had the box, too. You ate the box and the pizza. He likes roughage. A side salad as well. Get that fiber. And a bread. And a bread. And a loaf. A roll. I really overdid lunch today.

Yeah, you did. And I was kind of proud because you were eating your salad, and it seemed like that was your meal. Right. And then I got my meal. And then I was like, are you, is that what you got? And you're like, mm-mm. Okay. But, Mike, how are you doing? Doing fantastic. We had the rights at Sunday, fun day at the zoo, which is always delightful. I think my face got a little bit burnt. That's life. That's life. Yeah, you took pictures of giant spiders and sent them to Jason. I did do that. Very much appreciate it.

You're welcome. He's not, Jason's not a fan of spiders. All right, here is the quick question of the day. It is a, well, it's one of these. Oh, that drop right there, that's a, don't want it too often. You don't want it not often enough. You need to mix that thing in every once in a while. Should be a, should be a, every episode drop. No, no, hogwash. By not often enough. Continue. Here's the game. Brooks put it together. I don't even know the answer. I haven't, I haven't looked at it yet. So I'm playing as well.

Okay. Excellent. The game is who am I? Here is your first clue. In my five-year NFL career, I have played 16 games twice, okay? Okay. Five-year NFL career, 16 games twice. I don't think you have a guess yet. I don't. The second clue. In both of those seasons, I saw 151 targets. So not a quarterback. Got it.

Not a quarterback. Five seasons. Only two with 16 games. And in both of the 16 game seasons, saw 151 targets. All right. We're moving on. Next. Next clue. In one of those seasons. If I guess, is that, am I out? Yes. If you guess now, that's your guess. You don't get this guess willy-nilly. Well, that's I had to verify. Now he's writing it down. In one of those seasons.

I was a top 10 receiver. And the other I finished outside the top 24. It's funny. I have one guess in my head, too. Wow. Okay. So that means. I'll take my shot right now. And I might be way off base, but I'm going to say Alan Robinson. Oh, that's a great guess. That's a great guess. I was going to say that this has to be a player who, based on those clues, has only finished as a top 10 wide receiver one time. In five years.

That seems like it has to be the answer. That's got to be Alan Robbins. Because it was the breakout year. Well, let's check the other clues. Let's verify whether these clues match up. All right. Clue four, I had more touchdowns in 2015 than the rest of my career combined. That makes sense. That still makes sense, I think. Yep. I think he had 10, right? 15, I believe. 14. 14 says Brooks. Verifying the answer. And then number five was my quarterback is Hall of Fame caliber, according to Jason.

Oh, stop it. So, uh... How dare you, Brooks? I got a snake, man. Well, how do you... Let's transition this. So it was Alan Robinson and Brooks. Did you put the answer in here? Yes. And I should, it's just specified Jason, his quarterback now. Yeah, Jason. I figured as much. Mitchell Trebisky. All right. So, so, Alan Robinson, he's interesting because I've looked at him in Dynasty leagues and I've said, like, like half the time I really want him.

It all looks good to me. And the other half of the time I'm like, I'm just not sure what the rest of his career is really going to be. And we have players in Chicago that we've had expectations for. Trey Burton, you know, Jordan Howard first half of the year, Treek calling up and down. It seems like Nagy is kind of agnostic when it comes to where the targets are going to go. And maybe there's not enough. Like, how do you feel about Robinson Dynasty-wise? To be fair.

Mitchell Trubisky is pretty agnostic to where his targets go when he's just throwing at one person. That's true. From an accuracy perspective. That is correct. I'm glad you're on board with me. Mike, yeah, I mean, the reality is you just said it, right? He has five seasons, only one good season in the NFL. And so it was great. It was great. It was great. And there were reasons on film that really showed why he should be a good receiver. He runs great routes. He has good hands.

Things haven't worked out for him, but he's only 25 years old. That's what I want to bring up is, you know, you feel like he's been in the league for five. I mean, Calvin Ridley, rookie last year is 24, right? Alan Robbins has been in the league for five years and he's 25 years old. I think he's still a really good dynasty asset for potential. But I do worry. I mean, I have him in our dynasty league and I worry about will he ever meet that potential with Mitchell Tribesca. I love the offense. I love the head coach.

It can be a trap, too. When you have one highlight real top 10 season earlier in your career, you may never repeat that. That's not a guarantee. I mean, he's been injured severely since then. It's an interesting discussion. All right, let me put it this way. Do you think Alan Robinson has another top 12 fantasy football wide receiver finish in his career? That's a great question. Oh, thank you. Another top 12.

Do you think the rest of his career, he finishes as a wide receiver one in fantasy again? Wow. I am right. I'll say yes. I think yes. He is definitely on the Bears. If you had said top 10, though, I would have been like, no. He's 100% on the Bears this year. I mean, we all know that, but I'm saying like his contract, as in he would be a huge dead cap hit, which there's not even rumors of him moving on. But next year.

If the Bears want to, if they don't feel like they're not getting their money's worth out of Allen Robinson, and they can easily move on from him. Can you imagine if he was only 50% on the Bears this year? That'd be. And then 50% somewhere else. I would imagine that he was traded. Yeah. Do you think so, Jason? I lean no. All right. Because of my belief in Mitchell Trubisky. I hope. But my point was he may escape.

He may escape the bear. What's Mitchell-Chaprio-style completion percentage last year? I know the answer. I'm just asking you guys. I do not. I do not know. For all the insults, you hurling his way. I would guess 62%. Mike? I'll say 61. 66.6% completion percentage. 95 pass-a rating, 2-1 touchdown to interception ratio. First year with Matt Nagy. Not bad. Great. I hope. I genuinely hope he takes a step forward.

He becomes dominant and Alan Robinson dominates because he's on my team. He's really selfish. Yeah, actually, I really listened to you when you threw shade on him and the fact he's on your dynasty team. I knew you were telling the truth at that point. All right.

We're giving away a signed Michael Thomas jersey. That is footclane giveaway.com, and that is courtesy of pristine auction. So, without further ado, let's, well...

We got to do this. News and notes from around the league. Presented by Sleeper. You must be in an NFL offseason if... Bad news is coming out about players. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So let's get people up to speed over the course of the weekend. It was reported and then confirmed by the actual Kansas City Chiefs that Starwide receiver...

who we had talked about being on the precipice of a multi-year potentially league defining contract. Tyreek Hill is under investigation for alleged battery. That's not something you want to read. No. That's not something you want to hear about if you're the Chiefs, if you're a fan of the NFL, if you're a fan of Tyreek Hill, and for those that aren't aware, which is I think most of you are.

He had a prior domestic violence situation before entering the NFL. It's the reason he slipped down to the fifth round. Correct. And he did plead guilty to that, dealt with it. And this allegation also involves his fiancé with whom the first allegation took place. We don't know a whole lot here. And essentially, I went on Twitter and I just posted that if you look at the two police reports, Tyree Kill is named in the first report.

as a person of interest, and that report was closed. Then there's a second report that only names his fiancé. We know nothing else other than this. And Mike came in this morning and was basically saying, man, you know, it seems like every off-season we've got something we're sorting through here. The best advice we can give to you is that the range of outcomes is vast. This could be everything from a non-issue to Tyreek Hill never plays in the NFL again. And that's the truth. Because the NFL conduct policy has two

Well, it has several extenuating circumstance clauses that say that punishment will be more severe if blank. And he qualifies for two of them in this situation. Number one is that you had had something happen before you come into the NFL. Yeah. And for people wondering, like, well, why his incident was before he was in the NFL at all. So this is not the end of the, he's faced no NFL punishment aside from.

the slipping down in draft stock, but the NFL would 100% take that into account if something has happened with this new story. Yes, that is in their personal conduct policy. They will take that into account. The other extenuating circumstances that if any incident involves a child in any way, that is caused for a more severe penalty or punishment. He qualifies for both if he took a part in this. This is called due process at this point.

He is only innocent until. That's why the word until comes after it. So you can presume whatever you want about the situation. That's not our job. Our job is to tell you the facts. Right now, if you're in fantasy football, you are, you know, there are people out there making decisions. I received a ton of offers on Sammy Watkins this weekend. It wasn't for coincidence. It was because of this news because Sammy Watkins all of a sudden looked like maybe Pat Mahomes top target. Right. You know, a team that lost Cream Hunt last year who.

This weekend was suspended for eight games for violating the personal conduct policy. So if you own Kareem Hunt, if you're drafting Kareem Hunt, he's eligible to play after eight games in 2019. And people asked, okay, we know the suspension now for Kareem Hunt. Where are you drafting him? My answer is not. Right. I will not be drafting Kareem Hunt. I'm not holding on to a backup running back for eight.

weeks. Yeah, that was the question. Maybe nine. We don't know when the Cleveland Brown's buy week is going to be. You cannot draft. No, he would be 100% undrafted by me. In my last round, my very last pick, I would not draft him because I don't want to take a bench spot away from my roster for the majority. It's not half the season in fantasy. That's the majority of your season. So, I mean, it's a bad pick. You know, there's sometimes where.
