Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Tier Breakdowns, Pat Mayo from FNTSY Network, News

If he's going to be in the mix, like you might be looking at a situation where there is no leadback in Seattle, then we're all screwed. So Rawls is the candidate to have the job if he is healthy, and I think if he is healthy, maybe expect, I don't know, with a bum ankle.

75% of what you saw last year. And if that's the case, and he still is getting, let's say, 65 to 70% of the snaps, 80% of the carries out of the backfield. I think he's in the RB2 discussion, but I'm not going to go out of my way to draft Thomas Rawls. And he falls to me. I think he's a very interesting gamble because of the upside. But, I mean, I just look at this list of wide receivers that are running backs. And maybe it's the way that I have them ordered. I don't know. But I just don't like any of these guys. All right. We'll get you out of here on one more.

What I think is a decently hot take, a medium, medium-tempered hot take. And you have Michael Thomas over Willie Sneed in New Orleans. And Willie Sneed is a guy who I like a lot, but you feel like the rookie can overtake him for fantasy value. You've got to talk me into this. I just think they all play at the same time. And when you're talking about volume, yes, he might lead in receptions. He might get up there in yardage. But I just think that Thomas is going to be...

end zone threat. He's a gigantic body. We saw that Drew Brees, you know, he likes to throw him around the goal and he gets a bit sneakier. He hands it off to a fullback every now and then. And they have Mark Ingram, who's not afraid to twinkle toes out of bounds. So, I just think it's a possibility where if stuff jibes with him early, he can become more ingrained. And just, I'm not super high on Willie Steed. Plus, you look at the guy, there's no way that he doesn't get busted for PEDs very, very soon. Oh, that's a hot take.

Just look at it. Just look up any pitcher of Willie Snee. The guy's veins are bigger than my leg. So I'm not skinny guy. I got a thick base here. So those things are popping. So I just like the upside. Maybe I'm enamored with a rookie. It's not like I've ranked them super highly. I think they're flyers at the end. If you're looking for a consistent, I don't know, wide receiver four or five that you need to plug in during biweek, maybe plays a flex and a PPR. You're probably going to go safer with Willie Snee. But I'm going to shoot for some upside with Michael Thomas.

Sure. All right, Pat. Tell the people where they can find you and find your work. They can't. I live in a closet. If you mail me, your address, I can get back to you by snail mail, and you'll get my week five rankings in like week seven or something like that. I'm not sure. That reminds me in 1994.

Yes, yeah, I'll have everything printed out on pieces of graph paper. I'll be good go. Now, you can follow me at the PMME on Twitter. You can find me at, you know, Fantasy Sportsnetwork, rotoexperts.com, sportsgrid.com, daily roto. I mean, a lot of places, although it's all the same stuff, so you just need to find it at one place. He's all over Google. You can Google him. It's very easy. Google is top-notch for me. That's how people know about me. All right, thank you, Pat. All right, thank you guys.

I'm dominating. That is between you and Pat Mayo along. Dominating. Well, yeah. What are you competing with? Just like Andy. There's a fantasy baseball. Oh, man. How have I not got on?

Get out on a... You're a terrible person for bringing this up, Jason. A pedestal. I remind these guys as though they care every single day. I am 9-0 on my first real... I mean, I played last year casually. This is the first year I tried to play fantasy baseball. I am 9-0. And dominating. And beating a friend of... Sounds like it's pretty dumb, eh? Am I right? A friend of mine... Beating a friend of mine who...

played for years and years and cannot stand that I'm winning. And it's so spectacular. All right. That is it for today's show. We've got good stuff coming next week. We got a mock draft episode. Got some mailbag. Lots of good things. Last reminder, guys. Sound the horn. One final time. Foot Clan. Let's do it. Let's close this weekend. All right.

And for the sports and recreation. Every day until... Just June 12th. The 12th. It's just four days more. Four more days. Sunday is the last one. And then we will not talk about it for a while. We will never mention it for another calendar year when we come in for our defense. And then we'll mention it for a couple of weeks. We appreciate it. It means a lot to us. It really does. And all the support that we've got on Twitter about it is great. So that is it. I think...

I think I will bid everyone for a well. We'll see you all on YouTube. Yeah, go to the YouTube's the show after the show. Oh, I have a taste test today. What? I love food. So you will get to try that out. This is great news. Head to head, baby. See you.
