bitter beer face you get when you think of the Giants, which is easy to do. You think of the team. You think of the offense. You think of O'Dell Beckham Jr. And you think of what happens to offenses when there's quarterback controversy or a young quarterback comes in. And it's kind of a lookaway situation, right? Yeah. I mean, that's definitely a legitimate fear. And I, this is why he's, I mean.

Inside the episode
138 passagesWe're, you know, picking fights here, but he's my number two. Oh, gross. How dare me. How dare me? But, you know, there are concerns because the offense is bad. If they were to go away from Eli, amazingly, I think it would still be bad for the team in the short term. Maybe that's wrong. No, I think you're 100% right. But Odell Beckham being out makes a huge difference. We've already seen it, right? Odell Beckham.
missed several games last year. We're talking five fewer fantasy points per game for Sequin in those games that O'Dell Beckham missed. So, you know, look, if he's not moving the chains and Golden Tate probably not just picking up the slack, it's fewer. He'll pick up some of it, though, right? Those are unexpected misses. You didn't have Tate around. Yeah, he'll pick up a little. But if you, you know, if he misses three or four fantasy points game and you're comparing it, because if you want Zeke, you better take him with that number one spot.
So, I mean, really, when we're talking right now, this player, we're only talking to the people who are at the number one pick, and they can pick anyone in the league, who are you going to go with? Personally, I'm going to go with Zee. I think to speak briefly about your point about Eli versus Daniel Jones, I will say this on record. It will be worse with Daniel Jones. It will not be a better situation. Eli Manning, in all of his problems and all of his issues, last year, 4,200 passing yard.
multiple 300-yard games throughout the season. That's not what you're going to get with Daniel Jones. It's not like Daniel Jones has the potential to say maybe he checks down more. No, right. No, it's impossible. We already know Eli's going to throw the ball every single time that a guy gets in his face to Seekwon. Yeah, and you've seen a season with Sequin succeeding on a losing team with Eli. So if the season is going bad, now the problem is if it goes that bad, Daniel Jones probably will take the field.
which could be an argument in favor of McCaffrey or Zique or Camara. Right. For that variable. A little bit of a consistency problem. The one spot of how can things go wrong for me for Barclay, it just comes down to his breakaway percentage and how elusive he is isn't going to go away. But, I mean, he was tops of the league, tops for running backs when it comes to his breakaway percentage and these huge runs.
that turn into ESPN top 10 highlights because it's a 50-yard touchdown run. If those come down, which I do expect them to come down a bit, but if they come down too much, that's just where you end up disappointed with Barclay. I'm looking at his game log.
These are separate games. Long of 68. Long of 71. Yeah. Long of 50. Yep. Long of 68. Wow. Yeah. The thing is, I think you could probably do it for a couple more years the way AP would do that for a few years. And that's why I'm saying I'm not fading him at all. But if...
If there's a place where you're disappointed because you took him number one and he ends up as the number six, the number seven running back, that's the area of the game that I see that doesn't hold up. Do you think that the reason he has such great breakaway potential is because they're like challenging him to run the ball? So the whole defense is up at the line. 100%. And if he breaks through, there's no one deep worried about the deep game. Yeah, and you're the safety blitz, man. If you run that on Madden.
And you bring everyone in, and the running back just happens to stay up. And here's a free 50-year touchdown. It's also going to continue to have big plays in the screen game the way Gurley did in Los Angeles. He's also very fast. He's really good players. And he's great. Quadriceps are bigger than my entire body. So to run it back, number 10, Todd Gurley, number nine, David Johnson. Number eight, Devante Adams, number seven, Julio, touchdown Jones.
Number six, DeAndre Hopkins. That's our best nickname of all time. Yeah, it's so innovative. Number five, Melvin Gordon. Number four, Alvin Camara. Number three, Christian McCaffrey. Number two, Zuku Elliott and number one, Sequin Barclay. Oh, gosh, really? I was rapping here, voice of public opinion. But where's Pat Mahomes?
This wasn't a top 10 quarterback countdown. Yeah, that's a good point. Get out of here, quarterback drafter. Did you get some Tyreek news you wanted to bring to the table? No. Okay. All right. Well, before we shut things down, let's do this. All right, it's a player not in our top 10, but yesterday on pristine auction.com, he signed. Levy on Bell, Jersey.
A Jets. Oh. $73.71. Purchased by Adam Gaze. Oh, no, wait. That was not Adam Gaze. But every single day, we always bring you like a deal of the day. There are hundreds that sell each and every day at pristine auction.com. And if you use the registration code, Ballers. Ballers.

Well, let's talk to Presti Knox about that. It would not work very well for the fantasy payouts. No, that's true. I mean, look, you can do that. I just get $10 back. Yeah, it's a $20 league, and I put in $20. I won $120. Thank you for tuning in, Phookland. We will see you next week. Goodbye.
