Surprise LIVE Episode! Bounce Back Players + Ask The Ballers - Fantasy Football Podcast for 4/6

He was with Greg Roman in Baltimore when they used him as a touchdown machine. So he's coming over, knows the system. He will have goal line opportunities. He's better than Christian McCaffrey is what I'm saying. That's what the people are hearing. That is, wait, who is? Say that sentence. Gus Edwards is obviously clearly, this is a real take, so much better at playing running back than Zemir White. Okay. Oh.

I was ready to cut it up I was ready to cut it out all right let's move on here we got a question in the chat from Colton who says is Christian Kirk a buy or a cell I've asked this question to myself and I don't I know my answer for sure and I think he's a buy I really do he's not someone that you need to go buy high on but

I feel like right now he's undervalued. Like, I've drafted a lot of Christian Kirk in best balls right now. So when I look at is someone to buy or someone to sell, it's essentially saying, are they more valuable do you believe than where their average draft value is or less valuable? And I think right now he's being undervalued. He is a very good player. His opportunities, you know, with Calvin Ridley being gone.

will go up even if they bring in a rookie. This is a guy who two years ago was a wide receiver won. He was the wide receiver 11 in fantasy football. So it's not like his ceiling isn't to be able to be really good for fantasy. You like him more than the fantasy opportunity for Gabe Davis? Oh, yeah. So, I mean, that tells you like if Calvin Ridley had re-signed there, you'd be drafted Ridley over Kirk. Correct.

But because Gabe Davis signed there and they've said all the flowery things, like Gabe's going to let us do all these amazing things as the pretend Calvin Ridley we signed. But we all, I think we all look at Kirk and say, oh, interesting. Or Zay Jones. Interesting, right? Yeah, for sure. I think Kirk is, and the fact that they went out and got Gabe Davis says they might not invest in some rookie wide receiver that's going to come in and impact Christian Kirk. Krisha Kirk's their one. And.

What's going on? Gabe Davis is a great blocker, so good news for Travis. Sorry, I'm following the chat, and I'm going to have to throw over to the Deucer's Alley camera here. But somebody said, where's Walmart Borgononi? Is he fired yet? And I think they're referring to our new guy. Walmart Borgononi. Walmart Bouganoni. Get wrecked. So that's Matt sitting over there in Ducer's Alley helping us out. The Falcon.

Yeah, we call him the Falcon. He's new to the team. But if you want to call him Walmart Borgannoni, you can't. Oh, man, that's good. Josh was very displeased by that. What a compliment. The only problem I have is what a compliment it is to Walmart. To Kyle. To Kyle. Because it's like, I don't think Matt's a bad looking dude.

Right. And so it's like, wait, but you're the Walmart version of it's more of the role. I didn't think it was a visual thing. Okay. Oh, I was going visual. Yeah, I thought it was visual. Oh, I mean, she's kind of beard. All right. Well, congratulations, Matt, for those few moments here. Get bodied Walmart. Somebody said. Get bodied Walmart. Oh, boy. Dollar store, Kyle. Yeah, no, thanks. Very nice. Deucer's Allie. You never know what to expect over there. No. Nope. There's new faces all the time. All right.

Timothy did want to know if he can get the Oh my gosh. The UDK song. Yes, you can get the UDK song because it's great. Stop asking for this. Only four more seconds, Mike. Now, are you kind of opposed to that song just because you weren't the one that actually made it?

No. And you make so much of the show that you kind of feel like your glory is being stolen? No, not at all. Like that song was made by Walmart, Mike Wright. I enjoyed it very much. It's just, no. Hey, if the people want it, I guess the people want it. Can't stop the greatness. That's what, that's what I'm seeing. I've just, I've moved on.

Lama Two-Face would like everybody out there to know that if they win the Powerball. Because I know...

Did anybody win the big billion? Oh, is it up right now? I think they won the money. But I guess in the future, if Lama wins Powerball, he's going to throw a massive foot plan party at Lama's house. Fantastic. Okay. Kent wants to know keeper-wise. Would you go with J.S.N or would you go with Zayflowers? I think that is a good...

question. It is. So good that Jason is struggling immediately. Yeah, I exhaled. I don't like the question. It's Zayflowers for me. It is Zayflowers, but I don't want it to be Zayflowers. I understand that. And that's why the Xcel, because it should be JSN. It should. This feels like saying, correct me if I'm wrong, this feels like saying like an old school question of like, who's a better keeper? Is it Jarvis Landry in his heyday? Or is it like a great outside wide receiver in his heyday? Because I think.

I think we would all say, like, doesn't J.S.N. have a higher ceiling? In a career. In a career wise? Like that. Yes. But I think it still might be two years before he gets to be the one. So have you seen the comments regarding the offensive philosophy in Baltimore and how it's going to change? No. So last year, so two years ago, Greg Roman, all those years, it was run, run, run, run. And then.

Last year, Todd Munkin, they changed, obviously a very competitive season. Oh, that they want to run the ball more this year? Yeah, and we were disappointed in the yardage numbers for Lamar last year under the Todd Munkin excitement levels. Andrew's going down. They have flowers here, there, sometimes not, sometimes he is. But they have talked about offensively, like we're going, they brought in Derek Henry, and we're going to run the football more. Now, it's not going to go to Greg Roman days, but I do think you may have a slight balancing that happens.

And that does concern me a little bit for like Zay Flowers benefited from no Mark Andrews and the first year of Todd Munkin's situation like over under six touchdowns for Zay Flowers. Ooh, that's a good line. That's a great line. We just did this whole Cortland Sutton experiment with like yardage and wide receiver numbers and like his Zayflowers over under wide receiver 26. No, it's it. I'll take a better finish than 26. I'd take the under on that.

Yeah, your lines are pretty good. And I think what you're saying is that his ceiling is a little bit more limited than you think it is. That is my. Flowers? Flowers. Oh, yeah, no. That's what I'm worried about. He 100% is. Like role player for the rest of his career is in the cards. Whereas Jason, I think so is an unproven ceiling. He does. But I was trying to find it. And I unfortunately can't because there was also then a Seahawks report.

very recently. We're going to get back to running the ball. So that's where I'm Zay Flowers. Maybe they're both just capped. Let them both be run heavy teams. But Zay Flowers is the number one wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens. Like that is locked in. And JSN, you're hoping that in the second year he gets better. He should see more opportunities than Tyler Lockett, who it certainly seemed like Lockett had.

finally started to show some signs of decline this past year, even though they brought him back. So it's a strange situation because every argument you make for JSN of a, don't worry about the rookie year. He was drafted to, he was a first round pick. He was drafted to be great. He's going to improve in year two. All of those arguments are Zayflower's arguments as well. Yes. But he's already the number one, so I'll take him over JSN. Okay. I guess fair. I think both are very interesting players long term.

Because I think we're going to learn really quickly, like, if both those guys struggle in year two, it's going to be a really hard sell going into year three with just the statistical backing of like players don't generally break out that late in terms of big numbers. And then just another point for Zay Flowers, not that Jason can't, of course, but last year you at least had a few times throughout the season where you got a spike where like a huge play happened. Wide receiver three.

in week 12 wide receiver 7 in week 14 wide receiver 9 in week 17 yeah so those those weeks do exist for zay flowers i don't i think it's more of a he's a nice steady floor player than you're always hoping for ceiling but it does it will happen a handful of times would it surprise you that uh he was only about 200 yards over json's number last year uh

Is that about what you would have expected? Yeah, that's what I would have expected. J.S.N. didn't have a terrible season. Wasn't J.S.N. like 63 for 628 and 4? Yeah. It was just disappointing for what you were expecting. I will say this. If both of them have a mediocre season this year, for dynasty purposes, if Zave Flowers comes out and is mediocre this next year as the one, JSN comes out and is mediocre as the three, JSN will hold value.

because Lockett will be. You'll feel like he's more blocked right now. He had a reason. Yeah. So unless you are confident that Flowers is going to have a great season this year, long term, the value still holds on Jason's side. I do have a question from Caitlin. She writes in and says, should I try to sell Tyreek Hill right now or keep him for one more year? Right. I mean, usually when you have a.

really, really good wide receiver. It is a great task, a great strategic option to trade them. We got there. We got there. Felt the panic attack. Expiratedly. Yeah. Thank you. You know, I traded Julio Jones for a rookie CD lamb plus a first, right when Julio was on top and, you know.

turned into nothing the next year, and that works great. But I do think that Tyree Kill is such a difference maker in total fantasy points versus the field right now this year that I want him on my roster. This is the type of player you need to win a championship. And so it's how I treat McCaffrey in. Exactly. And they are outliers. They are not the, you don't prescribe this towards other good veterans. You only prescribe holding on to them until the end.

for the elite of the elites, the one or two at the position group? Trevor Mike, sorry, Trevor would like to know, Mike. Sure, not Trevor Mike. Trevor Mike. What is Mike's favorite tattoo? I mean, they see, I feel like the whole world, they've seen your right arm for like 10 years. Right. Yeah. So, I mean, they're both. They're both. Can you swap? You can't swap the. My arms?
