Fantasy Football - NFC East Breakdown + Training Camp Begins! - Podcast for 7/22

He might not be around. I mean, well, that's what I'm saying. He's going to be interim. But week five or six. He's going to have to hail Mary put the guy in. Are they going to win at Washington in week one? No. Are they going to win at Dallas in week two? I don't think. Are they going to win against Kansas City and L.A.? The Chargers? Certainly not. I mean, their first four, their first four games of the season are like, that's rude. They're honestly scary enough to be like, like right now, Malik Neighbors is ninth pick of the draft, wide receiver six.

I like Malik neighbors. I really do. Does that go bad? I do worry about like if I'm having to decide between two guys to have really close there, I want some upside. Jackson Dart does not represent some sort of special upside. Oh, but you know who does? James Winston, baby. I agree with you. Do not put Jackson Dart out there this year. Yeah. Why don't you play the long game, Giants? Have a couple stupid games with Russell Wilson and be like, oh, this doesn't work. You'll figure that out soon. And then protect Jackson Dart and give fantasy goodness and put in James Winston. And then lo and behold, I will be throwing Darius Slayton into every single lineup I have. Let's just, no one's going to want to hear this. So that's why I'm talking because you guys can be mad at me. Yes. Um, 170 targets, okay, from a league neighbors. Last year.

last year and he had a stretch of games that he played all the snaps in where his weekly finishes were 43 38 29 30 26 29 12 32 yeah but that's they were really fine i mean i know those those fantasy finishes aren't the week that aren't the like number five number six but though that's that was 10 point if i get 10 points a game from my from my first round pick Yeah, I mean, 10.4 fantasy points, 9.4, 11.3, 12.4, not full PPR, half PPR. He scored. You're not super excited, but I mean, he missed two games and he was the wide receiver seven on the season. I know. I know that the targets are there. But it's, it's a frightening weekly start. Let's say Russell Wilson plays the first half of the season. Is that an upgrade or a downgrade from Daniel Jones? Neutral. For a fantasy standpoint. Neutral. Maybe worse. I think it's.

I think it's worse. Yeah, it might be worse. Yeah. I don't know if Russ will hyper-target. Yeah, I don't know if they throw it as much either. Exactly. I think they will not throw it as much. So Garrett Wilson's time in the New York Jets has been maligned by fantasy players. And like those of us who still support Gary Wilson, it's tough. You're like, I'm telling you. I promise you, the guy is just, he is good. But we keep drafting him and we keep. Failing now I mean obviously neighbors finishes at the wide receiver seven a a 32 point game which is like that's part of the Malik neighbors experience as you can get a bunch of 12s and then you're gonna get some 25 some 32 point games which not every wide receiver can do that he's amazing he's an amazing player we have him at six and seven yeah but I don't think that that's and he's being drafted at what six

When you look at him, let me ask it this way because the only thing we're talking about on this team right now is Malik Neighbors. When you look at him, Brian Thomas Jr. And you see both sides of the coin for each player. How do you make that decision? Yeah. Yeah, it's really tough. Malik Neighbors was obviously drafted ahead of it. Mike just agreed that it was hard. He did not answer. No, because I don't have it. I know. My mom had told me if I don't have something to say, don't say it. It's, I feel like. If these two gentlemen did exactly what they did their rookie year, and we're in the exact same position that they are in. Okay, everything is 100%. What is real right now, if only one thing changed, which is in the NFL draft, Brian Thomas Jr. was drafted ahead of Malik Neighbors. I think if fantasy drafts, Brian Thomas Jr. would be easily the guys being drafted ahead. It's weird because it's like...

Is it unfair to Brian Thomas Jr that I still believe Malik Neighbors is more talented? Because I think he is. I think Malik Neighbors brings more to the table. I don't think that's unfair. Like if you were doing the Madden toggles on all the different stats, there'd be more. There's more on neighbor's side. I would agree with that. I mean, Brian Thomas played every game and ended with 1,282 yards. Malik, you know, missed two and ended up with 1,204 yards. Yep. Yeah, it's going to be rough. But if I were Brian Thomas, I would be calling my friend Malik neighbors daily to remind him that I had a better year. Yep, you would. You would. You really would. And Jason will call you tonight and remind you you you have the toilet trophy. I will. Who wins the division? Give me your order. The Giants. We've got the NFC East. We're wrapping up the divisional breakdown. Who's going to do it?

I will do it. You'll do it? Yeah. Okay. Philadelphia Eagles, Washington commanders, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants. Yeah, that wasn't what I was saying. I was saying who's going to do it and not do the obvious, I mean, that's. Well, you didn't use those words. You just said, who's going to do it? So I jumped in. All right. I got my picks in first. Put your DAC where your mouth is. Who's going to rank the Cowboys a little higher, Jason? Oh, okay. Yeah. Who's going to copy me? It's a common expression. Yeah. I'm copying you. I'm not going to copy you. I'm going to copy Andy. Oh. So all that talk and Dallas is still third. It's a copy of a copy. I guess all that talk was backing up there.

fantasy, not their reality. And it's been a multiplicity situation. I wanted to put the Giants above Dallas, but man, they got the worst schedule in football. I can't do that. I can't do that. I think Dallas will be. Dallas has a quarterback. Just okay. And I think the Giants will be bad. All right now the odds are Philly minus 130, Washington plus 205, Dallas plus 550. And the Giants, you could win a lot of money if they win the division. One more division left, the NFC West on Thursday, the Rams 49ers, Seahawks and Cardinals. We've got mailbag shows coming up.
