You are listening to this before your fantasy football drafts have taken place. I've been to the future, and those that followed the advice from the Fantasy Footballer's Ultimate Draft Kit had a spectacular season and with certain many victories. It's almost as if Biff had given each of them a copy of Grey's Sports Almanac. I'd highly recommend heading over to www.ultimateraftkit.com without any further delay. A fantasy footballer's podcast.

with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in. My calculations are correct. It's Friday. It's one word, Andy. It's one word. It's my calculations. Good, Scott. Welcome in. Look, I mean, great friend of the show, Doc Brown. Doc Brown. It's not even.

It's not even the actor. It's Doc Brown. Right. Doc Brown's the good friend of the show. He's the close friend. Good buddy. All right. It's Friday, August 21st. Welcome into the Fantasy Footballers podcast. Excited to be with you. We are entering the time machine today. And I really like this show. I like this episode because everybody, last year's fresh on your mind. You have all the breakout candidates. And we're going to take time today to look at.

those players and who we project is maybe taking on those roles for this upcoming year. And thankfully we have the ability to travel to the future and see that. So these are just stone cold locks. Oh, fantastic news. From what I understand. Last year we did okay on the time machine. Of course we did because we were in a time machine. Yeah, we tried to go to the future and find the George Kittle.

found Mark Andrews. Oh. That was the projection last year. Excellent. Jason tried to go to the future and find the 2018 Robert Woods for 2019. I found him. He went with Robert Woods. It was Robert Woods again because guess who the 2020 Robert Woods is going to be. Yeah, you took an easier route. Like that one is genetically true. But it was also fantasy true. And we'll be again. Please draft your Robert Woods.

And Mike was trying to find the 2019 version of Nick Chub, running back that came along swiftly back half of the year. We went with Devin Singletary. It really had a nice finish to the year. So it's proven. We can travel into the future. Now, we had a fun time yesterday on the My Guys episode. Hopefully you caught the Blake out and the Drake out. So it was fun. You can find us on YouTube. You can watch that episode. The Jake out?

Okay, okay. Yeah, it's Friday. I'll take it. Yeah, the Josh Jake out. Yeah, it's Friday. You are getting C-grade material at best. It also means something else. Put Clan Friday. It's Foot Clan Friday. That means a weekly giveaway for one of our supporters over at Jointhefoot.com. It's an especially great time to support the show at Jointhefoot.com because we just launched the largest fantasy football year-long tournament in

existence. We are reaching out to Guinness, Book of World Records, to... Are we really? Well, see, that whole thing, we thought we might, but then we realized it might just be a big racket. I mean, you've got to pay an application fee. I don't think there's any limit on the amount of world records that can exist. So what if someone comes along and... But what if we had...

a piece of paper from Guinness. Yeah, that'd be nice. That'd be pretty cool. I think we're going to pursue it. Yeah, we'll pay the money. But no, you can support us to join the foot.com, get into the Meglabel Tournament right now. And we are giving away today on Folklime Friday a signed Keenan Allen jersey. Complements our friends at pristine auction. Yeah, and the winner is Bannertown Fruit Bats. Oh, congratulations. Which is a person. Or a team. Could be. A team of people.

You can use the code ballers at pristineauction.com, get $10 off your first item. Signed Keenanell in Jersey. Congratulations. Bannertown FruitBats. You can follow the show on Twitter at the FF Ballers. I recommend that you do. Find us on Instagram.com slash fantasy footballers. And appreciate everybody that is leaving the show a review on Apple Podcast. Subscribing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you're listening. Thank you very much. We were right in the thick of it.

You can feel the energy for the season. You really can. I mean, you know, it was a little slower starting this year with kind of the nebulous unknown and the lack. I had to call AAA to get in here, jump start the car. Yeah, need a locksmith, you know, break in, break back in. But now the floodgates are open. Friends and family and, you know, co-workers of.

Yours, our coworkers have been into fantasy for quite some time now, are all flooding back in and the conversations are starting, the draft talk, the messages on Twitter on Instagram. It's wonderful. Jason's especially excited because he received an invite from yours truly to get into the Family League that last year I set up a like a father-son league.

And we had some people in it from the Foot Clan. Last minute thing. My two sons learned how to play fantasy last year. So first year they came and said, I wanted to learn. So they jumped in. And Jason's got his whole family in it. Very excited because for the first time ever, my family is starting up in fantasy. And the idea of like, if my boys actually love it, because I'll never force them to. But if we could just chat fantasy football day, that'd be awesome.

I know that's what you say you're excited about, but I expected the words out of your mouth to be the idea that I could take advantage of my two sons in a trade and really load my roster. That's what I thought you were going to say. That will be year two. Year two, I will crush their spirits. Training wheels off, boys. Exactly. Daddy is let go of the bike seats. You're going to fall. All right. And you said your youngest son.

really into he wants lamar jackson right now yeah got him into the ultimate draft kit and he saw that he had the most points so he's like he's telling everybody i want lamar jackson you know okay i gave him a little warning about uh well that that's the funny thing my uh my son drafted aaron rogers in the first round last year and it was like hey i just let him i let him go i let him go let him he got the ultimate draft kit and that's somehow he knew that name and he

He won the league. All right. Quick question of the day. We did My Guys yesterday. I wanted to throw this at the end of the My Guys episode. We ran out of time. So I wanted it as the quick question today. My guys, those players are put up on a pedestal. They're associated with you. If things go south, ultimately it may or may not reflect on you. Yeah, I get it. I get it. I deserve it. I get it. I

Yeah, I mean, and I took Dante Pettis away from my my guys, and I still, every 13 seconds, get a tweet about Dante Pettus. But today's quick question, name a player that you want credit for, but no blame. Okay? So you can take a different kind of, a different kind of pick here, because maybe you're picking somebody a little bit more risky.

If you want credit, no blame. I do want credit because I believe in Jerry Judy. I wanted to make him my guy. I think he is a world-class. I didn't know it got that serious for you with Jerry Judy. It did. I think he's a world-class wide receiver. I've been waiting for him for a couple of years just watching the film being like, this guy is better than NFL wide receivers. That was two years ago. Now, right off the bat in camp, he's torching guys. Everybody, the defenders are like, this guy is for real.

And honestly, if it wasn't for this kind of weird, shortened offseason where I just don't know how much you can trust the beginning of the year for any rookies not named Clyde Edwards Allaire, I might have picked him. But, you know, I think it could be tough sledding. I don't know about Drew Locke. There are so many ways it goes wrong. But I want my name associated with Jerry Judy because I do believe in the talent 100%. I will throw two.

Injury plagued wide receivers out there. A.J. Green and Will Fuller. Those are two players that I believe in. We'll talk about Will Fuller a little bit later on the show today. But no, I don't want the punch in the face when A.J. Green goes down during the year. And yet I want the credit if he does well. Because I still believe that we have never seen A.J. Green anything less than spectacular on a football field.

And so, yeah, I want credit. No blame, Jay. No, no, no, no blame. This is a good practice. This is a good practice for everyone. You at home, figure out who you, and claim it. You should tweet it and say, this is the guy I want full credit for if he does well, but please, like, no blame if he doesn't. Everyone should get one, or in Andy's case, too. Mike, who's the player? Can I get three? There are no rules at the Friday. I'm going to go with one.

Because he was nowhere near my guy, but you've heard me talk about him several times on this show. And I get the guff. I get the guff from my co-hosts here. I'm talking about the yak king up in New York. I will talk Golden Tate. Someone from the New York Giants in the wide receiver core is going to make fantasy noise. And everyone is picking and choosing who they think it is. I think that the...

The overall feeling of the industry is it'll be Sterling Shepard. Shepard's a great wide receiver. I just, I still trust in Golden Tate and his ability to get it done. So that's my, that's my free pass. And you know what, Mike? I don't blame me for it. Thank you. Right now. On this show, I can't blame me. You can't blame me in the future either. Oh, that's true. It's the whole point of this segment. That's true.

All right, we are moving on to news and notes. A lot has been happening around training camp. Before we do that, we are doing a live stream. We are answering your questions this afternoon. We're having a party. We are going to be with you for quite some time at 6 Eastern, and we are giving away an ultimate draft kit for life. Plus, an Alvin Camara signed jersey. We're doing that today. I'm very excited. Everybody's ready to go for this season. And what's better than winning a UDK for life? Nothing. Nothing is better.

Yep. And all who preordered are entered. Yeah. UltimateDraftKit.com. You got to get the ultimate draft kit for 2020 before the end of that live stream to be eligible to win. If you already have it, you're eligible to win. Yeah. Great news. Great news. You're in. My calculations are correct. News and notes from around the league. Every bit of news brings a little joy, a little hype, a little terror.

to fantasy football players. Yesterday, Tyreek Hill diagnosed with a minor hamstring strain. He will go towards the team-by-team quota. You must have at least five players with hamstring strains right now, or the league will remove your team. I think it's a matter of how fast are you? If you're really fast, then you hurt your hamstring. It's obligatory. Like AJ Green, huh?
