Mock Draft Battle! Ballers vs Ducers - Fantasy Football Podcast for 8/15

who is now drafted in the 11th round. And I just think that's worth a conversation because Caleb, Lawrence, Goff and Daniels, there is not, it's a decent chance Herbert is just fine and fine for fantasy. Could be. I mean, it's the combination of not only the offensive concerns that we've had for the whole off season of knowing that the Chargers, while they should be a higher scoring offense, it'll be very high T combined with his injury. pushing him down to here. All right. We're back on the clock after the Daniels pick. We can do what we want because we have, we've got our onesies taken care of. We're at five wide receivers on the roster. There are some names that are interesting at that position. You could, you know, Curtis Samuel with his opportunity in Buffalo, Adonai Mitchell seems to have an opportunity with injury.

in Indianapolis, Kalil Shakir. Where are you guys real quick on the Buffalo wide receivers? I take Shakir over Samuel for upside. Because I have, I've been the offseason of Curtis Samuel. I'm trying not to let just one preseason thing completely sway, but it looks like it might be Shakir. over. And this is leaving Keon Coleman out of the equation. I'm saying between Curtis and Shakir, I think I may have switched to I'd prefer chasing after Shakir. He's got a higher yards per catch, which in this offense with the extension of the play. Sorry, Jason. That's why I would go with him. But Jason, what do you think? Yeah, I'm still very much in the belief that Curtis Samuel is better than Shakir will be more involved. However, the type of player that Curtis Samuel is doesn't really make sense for our roster. We're loaded at wide receiver now.

and we're looking for high, you know, potential. So, you know, Shakir makes probably more sense for our roster build than Curtis Samuel, who's just like a veteran plug and play. The one thing I'll point out, we only have three running backs. There's still a starter available. There are studs. I'm curious who you think the starter. Like a full starter. A full starter. You're talking about Chuba? Yeah, Chuba is the starting running back for Carolina. He was the running back, I believe, nine over the back half of the year. He's injured right now. Right this second he is, but they said it was not serious. And Jonathan Brooks will not be playing to start the year. Just throwing that out there because. I think to start the year, though, he wouldn't be in our lineup. That's where I am saying. We got A. Chan and Pacheco and Walker. So he's not going to crack our lineup until later when Jonathan Brooks comes back. Later, you might see someone like Rico Dowdell. I know Mike's unbothered for him in the sense of taking over.

for a really high-powered offense in the Cowboys. So, like, I would rather go that way for our build personally. I would be personally, Dowdle would be the guy. But it would go, for me, it would go Dowdle, J.K. Dobbins, and then Chuba. Both of you disrespect and the Chuba. It's everything Jason said of, this is, I want a player. John Then Brooks is not going to go week five, he's not the full-time running. No, but it's after. Once he's back, is it just now a mess of multiple running backs? Just like all the other guys that you were saying. But for a bad offense, you're choosing between the Panthers or the Cowboys. I think that there's a chance for both Dowdell and Dobbins by the time a couple weeks in the season have passed that one of them, you can tell they are the guy. To break it down for the listeners here, roster construction really matters.

For our team that has three stud running backs, I would much rather take a guy who could have something happen, break out later, you know, like a Rico Dowdell. If I was the Ducer's team, I would prefer a Chuba. You know, you're looking to pick up people off the waivers later, but you need starters week one. Well, they'll get their shot. I took Doudal for you, Mike. And then Ad9 Mitchell goes at 1105, Charbonnet, Curtis Samuel, with the Ducers back on the clock. And real quick to put a bow on that, the Carolina Panthers opening schedule is the Saints, the Chargers, the Raiders, the Bengals, the Bears. Like this is, that's going to be tough for the running back. All right, Ducers, you've got two picks left. They went with Kalia Secure. Okay. Fryermuth, Jacoby, Komet, and Mike Williams rounding out the second to last round. And then Joshua Palmer, I was going to bring his name up. Sure. But I did not. Chuba goes at 12.

O2, Kirk Cousins, Kendrae Miller, and the Ducers have a final selection to add to their roster, which they will be doing in just a minute. Be with you in a moment, everybody. You can make the pick, Josh. This is why in school they make someone the leader of the group. Right. Because if they all do it, no one does it. And Josh is still not taking his pick by any second. We're going Jalen writes. Oh, that's good. That's a really good pick. I like it. I would like to have this last pick. I don't care. Go ahead. Jalen Wright off the board, Aaron Rogers goes in this round. Dobbins is gone. Jason, you can. I'm going to take a guy that we all believed in going into last year, and no one believes in going into this year. But if Jaden Daniels has a great season and is a really good quarterback, which is our quarterback, and you're drafting for things to go right. Don't click it. I don't like it. Just hold on a second. Hold on who is. It's Jehan Dodson. Did you see? He played.

Too much preseason. Way too much preseason to feel good about. Dodson. Dodson, we've got Dodson here. I was actually more encouraged by what was happening in the preseason for Dodson. And then literally this morning, there was another report of Washington still looking for their wide receiver two. It's not good, dude. It's not good. It's your pick. Last round pick. He played like the whole game or something. Your last round pick. You're hoping that you know week one immediately because do I have something here or is this the guy I get to cut for the week one waiver superstars? Okay. Well, I got to make the pick. So I'm taking it. Dantavian Wicks. Yeah, okay. I'm in. I'm back in, baby. I love Dontavian Wicks. You know, when you're at the last round, scroll down. Scroll down further and make sure that you're looking at all the names.

All right, why don't you run our team back for the listeners, Jason, and one of the deucers that can play paper rock scissors D while you read it and figure out who's going to read their team? So at quarterback and tight end, we've got Jane Daniels and David Nujoku, happy with those late round options. At wide receiver, Jamar Chase, Tank Dell, Calvin Ridley, Rushie Rice, JSN, and Don Tavian Wix loaded with six of those guys. And then at running back, Devon A. Chan, Isaiah Pacheco, Ken Bone Walker. and Rico Dowdell. I love our team. I like that team. Oh, yeah. All right. I like this team. I'll assume Al's going to read the team back here. Yeah, I'll read it here. We got, excuse me, Jordan Love throwing the football for us, Trey McBride at tight end. We've got Breece Hall, Giovante Williams, Tajay Spears, Chase Brown, and Jalen Wright at running back. And our wide receivers are Chris Olave, Debo Samuel, Amari Cooper, Jalen Reed, Jaden Reed, and Khalil Shakir.
