Fantasy Football 2017 - Fantasy Superpowers + NFC East Breakdown

I promise you it will not feel good. No, it doesn't feel good to. To draft Legart Blunt. No. But. Felt good to play him last year, though. Yeah. I want to touch on Zach Ertz. The tight-ins were targeted the most in the league by the Philadelphia Eagles 11.6 times a game. This was. Someone beat out Brock? Yeah. Good. So, but it was a low explosion type of offense. Only 10.8 yards per reception. That's 31st out of 32 teams. Was there a contest? By.

It was like Brock and Carson Wentz, like, I can throw it to my tight end 15 times a game. No, you can't. There must have been because Brock is really good at losing, and so he lost that. Go on, Andy. Painful. Currently losing the quarterback competition in Cleveland as well. No, for Wince, it was weapons mixed with a very vanilla conservative offense. They did not put Wins in a position to hurt himself last year. So the question is, is with Alshan Jeffrey.

Are we overreacting to the potential target decrease for Ertz? Because he was great. Ertz was amazing. Ended the year over the last few weeks. By far the number one tied in. Same thing he's done the last couple of years. But that is a huge amount of targets going to the tight-in position. Almost 12 targets a game can't be ignored. No, it certainly can't be ignored. But at the same time, you do have to factor that the other guys, which I think Jordan Matthews is a good wide receiver. But the.

the other wide receivers on the field that led to Zach Gertz being the best pass catcher on the past catching weapon on the team. So that's where Carson Wentz went. So I don't project that pace that Zach Ertz was on when he closed out the season where he was just an absolute monster at the number one tight end over the last four or five games. But he...

He's someone to keep an eye on. Where's he going in drafts? Yeah, I was going to pull up his ADP and give you some decisions to make there because he's an 11th round tight-in. I just have him in almost every league. In a basketball league. I'm in on that. Zach Rich was my tight-in in almost every league. I mean, you're talking Jack Doyle range. He's behind O.J. Howard. He's behind Kyle Rudolph, Hunter Henry. Well, Kyle Rudolph is good. I would take hurts over Kyle Rudolph any day. And I will happily.

Bet that one. If anybody wants a water bet right here right now. Hold on. Hold on. Let me just confirm where I have Mr. Zackertz and my rankings. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, man. We're that's that. Spears got to come up by now. The horses are upon us. It's splitting hairs if I take that one. But I will take it. Waterbed. The last. I love it. Brooks.

Brooks put that one down. That's not my favorite bet I've ever made. Kyle Rudolph. And for those that are brand new listeners to the show that are going, what the heck was that? That was a water bet. And we make many water bets during the year. And you can make many with your friends as well. We made a wheel of water that you spin. And if Mike loses this bet, which is inevitable, he will spin the wheel of. He will spin the wheel of water and be shamed. Be shamed.

And we're going to record a bunch of those this year as well. So wheel of water.com, you can grab the app. It's a free app. We just made it for fun. So you can make bets with your friends and embarrass them. There's no way, though, that I'm letting us finish with the Eagles without bringing up the running back who was taking the offseason by storm. He was going to be a huge part of this offense. And now he is last on the depth charts. Wendell Smallwood.

I thought you were going to say something relevant, and I was going to be so proud of you, Mike. Yeah, that's so irrelevant. I love what you said. But I just, I'm just pointing out to what I'm saying, which is pointing out the offseason hype trains. I know we're near the end, but I am not letting us move on without talking about a different running back there that I actually think, I have a, I have a marker to move him way up my rankings. It's not Darren Sprouls. Oh, it's the new Sprouls. It's Donnell Pumphrey. It's Danelle Pumfrey. I think we are. Pronounce with an umphrey.

I think we are having major weightism. Look, the dude is a thimble. I get it. Weightism is what we have against you, Jason. Well, yeah, I mean, I deal with this every day, so I can speak to it, okay? He's $5.9 a buck 80. That can't work.

Right? I mean, that just can't work in the NFL. Correct. I get it. That can't even work in college. I got him down at 170. That can't even work in college. I mean, it's just too small. Except the problem is he's one of the most prolific college producers in history. Yes, is true. He had 349 carries his last season over 2,000 yards and 17 touchdowns. He has a great offensive line.

All of the reports have been raving about him. And so he's completely dismissed because he's 5.9 and 180 pounds. But the dude is a great running back. Fourth round pick. Passing weapon. I'm just, I'm saying I'm moving him way up. And he is a guy. He is a guy to me. Where if it turns out.

that he is way more involved than they're using le garret blunt as that goal line third down guy because that clearly you know a buck eighty won't get it done when you need yeah he's not going between the tackles he's going in the slot he's lining up wide he's lining up out of the backfield yeah so i i really like the no pomfrey i think we need to to look at him a little bit deeper and get his name out on the show more because i don't think you never really talk about take a minute pause contemplate

Breathe them in. It's easy to breathe. It doesn't take much. It's very tiny. Sproles is still there, though. Yes, but yes, Sproles is there. And here's what's happening. Basically the same player. And that's, that's the narrative. The narrative is he is going to replace Darren Sproles when Darren Sproles leaves next year. It totally might happen. What I am saying is I think that there is a legitimate chance that Sproles and Pumfrey are both used in different roles this year and that Pumfrey is.

Just a running back. What, man, if they lined up. Sproles and Pump. Wishbone. With bones. You can't even see them behind the line. You literally would be like, where's their team? Why does they have nine players out there? It'd be incredible. Guys, this is going to be easy. They forgot two guys. Guess what, guys? Guess what? We'll be back tomorrow. Yeah.
