because he kept him for a 14th. David Johnson for a 13th or Rawls for the 14th. Those guys were both undrafted, therefore they apparently, they were both undrafted. Why are they in different rounds? Yeah, that is a little strange. I am also interested in your thoughts about trading these players or picks for picks next year knowing that you can keep them at their draft positions. Is he saying he can keep two? So that would mean that David Johnson...

66:37 ↗

Gets bumped up to a 13th or somebody does because of the 14th? Oh, yep. There you go. That is why. He can keep two, so you wouldn't keep them both at the 14th, because you don't have two 14th rounders. Well, this got real easy. So, David Johnson and Thomas Rawls are your keepers. I thought we were deciding between David Johnson and Thomas Rawls. And I had my arguments already in my head. And then, yeah, that's clearly the...

67:00 ↗

clearly the right move. You want to keep those two young studs who look like they are going to be dominant. As far as trading them, somebody might come with a really strong offer for them. You have to be strong. What could be stronger? What could be much more strong than years and years of potential value in those two backs? There's your word though. That's why. You just said potential. The value that you could get, if somebody came to you.

67:26 ↗

And they wanted to offer you the sun, moon, and stars for the potential of Thomas Rawls. Make me an example, then. Adrian Peterson and a pick? Yeah, I probably wouldn't do it. Okay. But that's, I might. Adrian Peterson's done it. Someone could come with a strong offer, and between the two of them, I would keep David Johnson. Okay. I mean, the whole point is that Rawls and David Johnson, as much as we want to put their posters on our wall, they haven't been printed yet.

67:54 ↗

You can speak to your own walls. Well, because I have a mural. I say you paint on your own walls. You got a giant David Johnson face that you sleep. It's right on the ceiling. Yeah. And so when you close your eyes at night, you see David Johnson up there. All right. Tyler in Memphis, he needs help keeping two and a 12 team half point PPR. AP for a first, I for a 14th.

68:15 ↗

Watkins for a 15th. He also has a seventh pick, and if he doesn't keep AP, he'll be looking at Des or McCoy in the first round. Maybe not McCoy anymore. We'll wait and see. Let's wait and see. All right. So what would you do in that situation? You got AP for a first. You got values with Eifert and Watkins. If it's me, I'm probably AP and Watkins. Watkins is automatic. I think I'm with you, Andy. I'm going to take AP over Eifert and roll with it from there. I'm going AP and Sammy Wonkins. I'm going to leave my first round.

68:45 ↗

open if I fall back and it's Des, great. All right. All right. Great. No running backs. You have no running backs until the second round? And I completely understand that, which if you're, I don't mind keeping Peterson in the first. It's just I want that open and Peterson, maybe he'll be there for you to redraft him. Who knows? Doubt it. Yeah, doubt it. Because he said he's looking at Desmond McCoy. That's right now.

69:15 ↗

I mean, lots of things can change. But essentially what you're saying is you'd rather have Dez and Eifert than AP, because that's what that trade would be, right? You'd be trading AP for Dez and... Or McCoy. Yeah. That's fine. McCoy gets cleared. Everything's a okay. Yeah, long way to go before we find... We better check TMZ right now. Patrick, because that's where we go for all our news. Patrick, it's funny because that story breaks, and I'm like, I bet they got some news on that. Yeah.

69:44 ↗

They've got all the nightclubs covered, front to back. Patrick in Atlanta? Where is that? Is that under the sea? Yeah, I think it is. Oh, man. He's found it. Whoa. All right, we get to keep four players with no round penalty. All right. We start three wide receivers and quarterbacks get, I think he means, and quarterbacks get six points per passing TD.

70:06 ↗

They don't start three quarterbacks. With Megatron retiring, I need help deciding on my fourth keeper. I'm keeping Rogers, Julio, and Alan Robinson. All right. Should I keep Josh Gordon, Latavius Murray, or Carlos Hyde with my fourth keeper? It's a little early. When do you have to decide? Yeah. Josh Gordon is a great option as a keeper here. If he is back, obviously you don't know that. Now, you've already got two wide receivers, so that would give you a...

70:34 ↗

That would just give you a beast wide receiver core, but it would leave you empty on running backs in a four-keeper league, meaning you are going to have slim pickings at running back. So I would probably lean Latavius Murray. I lean Josh Gordon. As do I. I'm pulling up Josh Gordon highlights right now just so I can start getting hyped. Boy, he was good. Yeah, I can hear him.

71:01 ↗

I can hear him coming through. My bet. He was very good. So, all right, that does it for today's show. Make sure you stay tuned for the show after the show, which is on YouTube exclusively. So check that out. And thank you for listening. We'll be here all off season. We've got more great stuff coming up soon. You guys have any parting words before we move on here? Yeah, go watch some Josh Gordon highlights. He's really good. He is a ridiculous human being. He is a very, very, very.

71:28 ↗

good wide receiver. And I hope that he gets it all together. And we don't have any more drama because everybody knows that Cleveland fans need a little bit of good news right now. Paul Mary J. Blige, no drama. Goodbye. Goodbye, everybody. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast. Join our fantasy football community on join thefoot.com.

As a fan chosen for the halftime challenge, I love sports. For a chance to win the big prize. But when my half-court heaved only goes half the distance. How embarrassing for him! I wonder, is Sport Clips better than sports? Because Sport Clips' haircuts is sports on TV, plus an expert haircut, hot steam towel, and massaging shampoo. Tear up his comically large check.

72:23 ↗

which is better than sports plus public embarrassment. Sport Cliffs. It's a game changer. Check it online at sportclips.com. Your favorite fall flavors are back at Starbucks.
