Important Questions + Injuries, Rookies, and Unobtanium - Fantasy Football Podcast for 8/24

last year. Just pour it on. Pour it on the old man. Ridiculous. I hope you're listening, Andy. Very important question from Jared on the website. Would you be able to accept any of your kids becoming fans of a football team not named the Arizona Cardinals? Well, yes and no. I...

Look, I mean, we dealt with this this last year. My youngest, Isaac, for some reason, said he is a 49ers fan. And the some reason is probably because they went to the Super Bowl. And, you know, you get a lot of publicity. He doesn't know. And so what I've, what I have concluded, what I've told my children is, look, they do not have to love the Arizona Cardinals. That's that they're their own man.

They're going to grow up and they're going to make their own choices. I'll try to guide them to good decisions. But ultimately, they're going to have to learn how to make their own decisions. Exactly. I want to teach them how to make good decisions, but they can come up with the answers in their life. So I told them they can, they don't have to be a Cardinals fan. They could be a fan of anybody not in the NFC West. Yeah. But I will not stand for them to pick the Niners or the Seahawks or the Rams. That's just illegal.

Yeah, I've dealt with it as well. My boy who's into football, he picked up on the, he was a big Broncos fan for a while. Oh, what a great, what a great conference that is. Yes, I mean, I allowed it to happen. We're getting him there. I think we are getting him there. But unfortunately, he loves Lamar Jackson. Like he's all in on Lamar Jackson, which it's not unfortunate to be in on him. But he's now a massive Ravens fan.

So, hey, that's great. You got to have a fan in each conference. The issue with our children being Arizona Cardinals fans and why both of us have the experience of them picking other teams is because they're young and the last few years, the Arizona Cardinals have just hard to root for. Fair, fair, fair, fair. Just a couple more questions before we wrap up the show from YouTube. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Oh, yo, yo, yeah, yeah. Deep trade cut. Alexander Madison.

Tony Pollard, Boston Scott. Now, let's go, I think this is an interesting place to jump in with this information because I wasn't sure how to take it. Adam Schaefter said, and this is just him speaking personally, if Dalvin Cook doesn't have a contract before the season starts, a new contract extension.

Schefter is saying he will have hesitation to draft him in fantasy football. Shefter is a big fantasy football player. He's also a big-time big-wig reporter getting all the news. Do you, does this is based on the new CBA. There were all the reports that Dalvin Cook was going to hold out that he was not going to get camp. Well, sure. But there were.

A lot of people around him near him saying that he was going to hold out. Now, he didn't. But then the CBA makes it to where you can't really hold out a camp or you're going to lose so much money that it's not worth. I mean, the only reason you're holding out is to get more money. So if now it guarantees you less money, you don't do that. But the change here, and I do think we will see this. I don't think it's going to come from Dalvin Cook, but I do think we will see a player.

in the future as the as players are adapting to this new CBA, the power goes back to the player as soon as the season kicks off. So they could be there for camp and then hold out from the actual games just like they used to be able to hold out. And I think that is what Schefter's basing his fear on, is that the power goes back to the player as soon as the ball is kicked. If they want to hold out, that's when they'll do it. And so he has worry because.

he'll have the ability to do it then. But Dalvin Cook has been talking about week one. Levion and Bell talked about it too. Sure, but Levion Bell was not talking about it while he was in camp. In camp. Okay. So that's that's a wide difference to me. Levyon Bell was, you know, saying all the things he could to get his contract. Dalvin, they've broken off.

contract negotiations. Dalvin is still there, still saying he's focused on week one. So back to the question, Madison, Boston Scott, Tony Pollard, keep trade cut. So you've got two guys here that presumably are not going to do much without an injury to the starter in Alexander Madison with Dalvin Cook and Tony Pollard behind Ezekiel Elliott. Boston Scott seems like a low upside but high floor.

PPR guy who will be involved in the offense no matter what. But I'm going to cut him. Sorry, Boston. I think your low upside, I would rather have Madison or Pollard. And I think you've got to go Madison due to not just the contract issue, but also the injury history of Dalvin Cook and the higher probability that Madison has to start games over Tony Pollard. So I'm going to trade Pollard.

I see it the exact same way. Alexander Madison is the long-term hold here. We don't know. We don't know if Dalvin Cook is going to be back or not. But if Dalvin Cook moves onto a different team, Alexander Madison will be the starter for the Minnesota Vikings. And it'll be fun to talk about him next off season. All right, Jay, we're going to get you out of here on this one. This is a, this is brutal.

This is absolutely brutal for me here because this is off of YouTube. We have a half point PPR question. Terry McLaurin or DJ Chark greetings from Brazil. Wow. I see why that's brutal for you. These are these are my guys. My guys. All right. DJ Chark or Terry McLaren. You could argue both have quarterback. Okay. Well, let me tell you who you should draft between those two guys.

is DJ Chark. We've seen a little bit more on the NFL field from Chark than Tara McLaurin. I believe that the Jaguars will score more points than the Washington football team this year. I think Gardner Minchu is a better quarterback, at least for fantasy purposes, than Dwayne Haskins.

And we saw Chark be a top 10 wide receiver before his injury last season. He's coming into year three. I mean, look, obviously we all like both of these players. But I'm going to take Chark ahead of McLaurin. I don't know, man. Get them both. That's my recommendation is they are both excellent candidates for massive breakouts this year.
