Jason enters the stat cave while Andy vacations on Stattin Island
Jason says his brain lives inside Google Sheets, may respond with formulas, and emits a recorded 'beep-a-boop.' He describes his own process as a cave while Andy takes spreadsheets to a pleasant porch in the woods that Al names Stattin Island.
moment
The best wall jersey goes to the Foot Clan
The hosts put a signed Justin Jefferson jersey into a free Foot Clan giveaway even though they admit the best memorabilia is normally kept for their own wall.
moment
Dynasty Week names its companion-podcast crew
The main show identifies the weekly Dynasty podcast as Matthew Betz, Kyle Borgognoni, and some combination of Mike and Jason, calls it a smashing success, and plays a dedicated Dynasty Week drop.
moment
Andy and Brooks are the no-pick crew
Andy and Brooks run their shared dynasty team like the Los Angeles Rams: veterans only, no rookies. Each new draft class merely unlocks picks farther in the future for Andy to trade; he already offered a 2026 pick and expects them gone within a month.
moment
Jason locks rookie tight ends inside a candy-filled bear trap
Jason says Kincaid will fail because he is a tight end and no tight ends are good, restates his first-round rookie-tight-end ban, and puts the historical success chance near 10 percent. The hosts visualize Kincaid as a golden bear trap filled with ice cream, candy, and a million-dollar lottery ticket that probably costs the drafter a leg.
moment
Brooks cannot subtract one from the UDK countdown
Brooks initially asks the desk to hold for the countdown, then later recovers today's 23-day answer from yesterday's Slack post of 24, prompting the warning not to make Brooks do that math.
moment
Clyde is mold Mike cannot rage-drop
Mike sees Clyde Edwards-Helaire as mold in the walls of his overfilled dynasty roster. The hosts plan a luxurious rage drop in a bubble bath with wine and adult contemporary music and call the eventual release Thanos-level inevitable, but Mike still cannot do it because a future backup opportunity might revive hope.
moment
Al dusts off the Postman drop
Dan Arnold's signing prompts 'The postman is back,' and the hosts can see Al searching for the old drop, ask whether it had dust, and confirm he cleaned it off before use.
moment
Mike Evans gets an empty-bag retirement ceremony
The hosts recommend riding Mike Evans into the sunset until football stops; one day only an empty bag will remain in the manager's hands, and they imagine a backyard thank-you ceremony. The discussion then invokes the Champ Champ Champ team's championship success.
moment
Andy's steamiest projection sends commuters into ravines
Andy's model accidentally places Terry McLaurin above CeeDee Lamb. The desk calls it potentially the steamiest take in show history; Mike says he would smash the computer, hide the result, and start over, while listeners' cars are imagined falling into ravines and AAA receives calls.
moment
Owl spends years pre-building before the fire sale
Asked how he has remained in a four-to-eight-year rebuild, Owl says he was actually mediocre and middle-of-the-pack for years before beginning the true rebuild last season. The hosts name that phase 'pre-building,' praise the burn, and cite his eventual fire sale and decision to keep DeAndre Swift as a cautionary example while admitting that punching Al is always fun.
summary
Episode notes
During Dynasty Week, Jason says his brain is inside Google Sheets and may answer questions with formulas and a recorded 'beep-a-boop.' Andy contrasts Jason's stat cave with a porch-and-woods rankings retreat that Al names Stattin Island. The show launches a signed Justin Jefferson jersey giveaway despite admitting the best memorabilia is usually kept for the studio wall, then identifies the weekly Dynasty podcast crew as Matthew Betz, Kyle Borgognoni, and some combination of Mike and Jason. Andy and Brooks are the no-pick crew, managing their shared dynasty team like the Los Angeles Rams; Andy already offered a 2026 pick and expects all the future selections to disappear within a month. Jason's established rookie-tight-end hostility dominates the Dalton Kincaid debate: the odds are only 10 to 12 percent, the temptation becomes a golden bear trap packed with candy and a million-dollar lottery ticket, and failure may cost the drafter a leg. Brooks struggles to turn yesterday's Slack countdown of 24 UDK days into today's 23. Mike calls Clyde Edwards-Helaire mold in his dynasty walls and imagines a ceremonial rage drop performed in a bubble bath with wine and adult contemporary music, but says the Thanos-like release is inevitable and still cannot press the button. Al dusts off the Dan Arnold Postman drop. Mike Evans's eventual decline becomes a backyard thank-you ceremony for an empty bag, followed by a reminder that the Champ Champ Champ team won again. Andy's accidental Terry McLaurin-over-CeeDee Lamb projection is called potentially the steamiest take in show history; Mike would smash the computer and start over, while the hosts apologize to commuters whose cars have fallen into ravines. Finally, Al is interrogated about rebuilding for four to eight years, corrects that to years of mediocrity followed by recent rebuilding, and accepts 'pre-building' as the label before the hosts revisit his fire sale and DeAndre Swift linchpin. Direct-video review shows the ordinary three-host desk throughout and a three-human Deucers Alley cutaway during Brooks's corrected countdown; it does not show Jay, a stat cave, bear trap, spa ritual, dusty drop, smashed computer, or ravine. Those are dialogue-rooted ideas for later animation, not footage claims.
in that category that are going to have valuable roles. So I want to talk about some of those guys right now. Old, bland, and undervalued. When did that drop? When did you do that one? I don't know. It caught me off guard too. All around the mulberry bush. All right, players that are not old busted for fantasy football probably are in people's minds. Give me a name. Somebody that you think will be ignored or undervalued. I'm interested to hear your case here on yours, Mike, because this is a really good name because I am fatigued. I am worried. So tell me why maybe we shouldn't be. So it is Mike Effins of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, wide receiver who has never had fewer than a thousand yards every single year of his career.
Fun stat when I did the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I broke down the target market share, the percent I thought that he would receive of the team on the targets, his yards per reception, all that stuff. When I hit Enter on my final thing on the yardage, I was not trying to do this. He ended with 1,001 receiving yards to keep the streak alive. So last year it was 1100 yards and 15 games. That was... No, that was one game. 1100 yards in one game. Oh, yeah, thank you. It was a little bit juiced by a 200-yard performance of the final year, or the final game of the season for him. But even before that happened, he was still on a 17-game pace of 1100 yards, which when you throw that out, you say, hey, you know, we finished 11-80s. That sounds fantastic. Like, that sounds like a really strong season. And then you realize that's...
That's 65 yards a game. That's what Mike Evans was doing. He was putting up five for 65. He was not scoring touchdowns, so that is a little bit of a concern. But the fact is he was still pacing for 1,100 yards. The quarterback situation, the offensive situation is completely changing around him. That is true, and it is a little bit scary. But Mike Evans is still a good player. For someone to go out, he's almost 30 years old. and have a 200-yard three-touchdown game. There are very few wide receivers in the NFL that can actually do that for one game. Mike Evans is not what he was five years ago. He will not be what he was for your fantasy team this year with that, but he's going to be just, I think, left for dust. People are not going to be interested in Mike Evans, and he's someone who can still
give you some burst games, and give you some consistent production along the way. And he's going to be, he will not be regular Mike Evans draft price this year. You know, he certainly won't. I mean, I worry because he's, he'll play at 30 years old this year, which I don't think is too old for him. He, you know, like you said, that final game, you saw that he still got juice. But the situation around him at age 30. with Kyle Trask slash Baker Mayfield. Final year of the contract, let's say he has a real dud season. Does he have at age 31 teams clamoring to give him a heavy role in their offense? I'm sure he'll get another contract, but a lot of times we see those plus 30-year-old once great wide receiver switch teams a la, you know, AJ Green, and just pretty much be irrelevant. So I, like, I am a little worried that.
how much I would pay to acquire Mike Evans. I do think that the situation could have been worse at quarterback because I think Baker's the guy. If you listen to the comments from Bruce Ariens, I don't know if you saw them recently, but I mean, he says he has, he had Baker Mayfield ahead of Stroud, Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson, Will Levis in this draft. Well, Bruce Ariens also hates rookies. Well, yeah, I mean, I'm just saying that he set out of those four, he has Baker ranked higher. He said that was his honest opinion. What did he say about Mr. Trask? I didn't see any comments on Trask. Darn it. But like I know some people are projecting those guys to split this year because they're kind of hedging. I think it'll be Baker. And I think Baker is more in the realm of what you got from, you know, look, James wasn't a good quarterback, but James provided value. And I don't think that Baker is James, but Baker is also not.
only a dink and dunk quarterback that's not going to challenge down the field. And look, if you throw the ball up to a guy that big, you're going to have an opportunity for touchdowns, which that variability for Mike Evans has always been there. If it's a 7-8-9 touchdown year, you're going to be really happy with the draft pick. You're probably getting 70 receptions and you're probably getting 1,000 yards. So it's an interesting name because I do think, you know, we've been here before with Mike Evans, where he's just kind of, everyone's used to Mike Evans. There's lots of reasons to not take him this year, which maybe people are looking for. So I get it. And so in your dynasty leagues, what are you, how are you pricing Mike Evans as either I'm going to trade him away or I'm going to trade for Mike Evans? I don't know that I can receive enough back for Mike. Like I don't know that I'm going to get a first round pick for someone's great. You have, you have Mike now. Okay.
Yeah, I have Mike Evans. Yeah, so I feel like the right approach, unless you can get, you know, what projects to be a high-end first-round pick, which I would take for Mike Evans. Oh, yeah, I think anybody would. Yeah, and I don't think you're going to get that, in which case your best bet is to just ride him into the sunset. You know, sometimes that is the best thing with these. really good aged veterans. You know, it was like for years and years and years. It was like, oh, do I trade Larry Fitzgerald? Do I, you know, he's 30. He's 31. No, just just keep getting fantasy points every year from him. And eventually he will retire or has he even retired? He will stop playing football. And I think that's my approach with Mike Evans. Yeah, you will look in your hands. One day the bag will be there. And you'll say, well,
That's all right. And then you'll just have a have a ceremony where you go in the backyard. You're like, thank you. Thank you. I've definitely tested the market and I haven't received responses proportional to what I, the Mike Evans name has been in the past. Oh, I know because I tried to trade him last year. I mean, eventually I successfully did, but people were not respecting the Mike Evans. And they would have won a championship if they had just. No, no, I respected it. Yeah, I had them on my team. Oh, yeah. Well. Yeah, I lost in the semis, Mike. We did. Champ, Champ, Champ over here. Mike Evans. I've got another 30-year-old. If people trusted me, they would have won a championship. Hey. I trusted you. 203. I didn't say it was going to be great before then. I just had championship games. Do I get a championship out of Mike's statement?
No, no, you do not. So my pick for old, bland, and undervalued, not really bland by any means. Not really old. Not really old. Well, he's 29. He's known as two years older than your old pick. He's still a first round pick in startup drafts. Well, my pick is not selected for old. It's selected for bland. Oh, okay. I didn't know we were, uh, I selected mine for old. 29 year old, Tyree Kill. To me, the reason that I'm bringing him up is because when you hit this age, sometimes people get scared. When you see the reports, and I know this in our league, when the reports came out about him wanting to retire after this contract, I got an offer. And so it's like I would go out and trade for Tyree Kill if I can acquire him because my belief of Tyree Kill is that you're going to get three more full seasons.
That's what he basically what his contract actually is. And all three of those, I believe, are going to be elite, going to be absolutely phenomenal. And sometimes you, you know, these crazy speed guys in the NFL, the ones that are just like wildly different than others, we've seen it with some. you know, Hall of Fame cornerbacks. They just don't lose their speed. You know, uh, Deshawn Jackson. Like, you just stay fast. And if that's your weapon, I don't think he's good, I think he's going to play phenomenally for three years, be great for fantasy for three years and then move on. And that's kind of the window that I look at my dynasty rosters with. If you're, if you're trying to be like, I care so much about six, seven, eight years from now that, I mean, situations change too much. So for me, I'm still willing to pay premium. Like,
pretty much top dollar for Tyree Kill because I believe that he will dominate for several more years. So would you trade the 103? Oh, that's a great question. So would I trade Jackson Smith and Jacob, but for Tyree Kill? I would. I would trade every pick except for the 101. I tried really hard to get Tyree Kill this offseason in Dynasty. And he's number three for me in redraft this year. I agree with everything Jason said. If there's any doubt going through anybody's mind, it is a little funny because of our mental perception of, like Mike Evans feels like he has maybe entering a nursing home at 29.7. Tyree Kill is 29.1, and I agree that he's got everything left in the tank. I think he's going to be dominant. But they're not that far apart age-wise. No, they're not. So that might speak to Mike Evans having more value for a couple of years where- Mike Evans was still 14.6 yards per catch.
If I could get Mike Evans to go be a flex or a wide receiver two on a dynasty team on the cheap because people want to cash in on the, you know, the age and go get younger. I mean, would you rather Brandon Ayuk or Mike Evans on a contending team? Ooh. I think they're going to be near enough to each other this year where I'll still take the age. Okay. The player I'm going to bring up is, is. It's very intentional. It's Terry McLaurin. I traded him too. Because fundamentally Terry McLaurin is a very good player. He's great. And he's under contract for three more years. He had the ninth most receiving yards last year, the fourth most deep targets. And I know we're going to spend a lot of this offseason talking about Johan Dotson, because I think he's a very good player that's going to get a lot of attention. I think he's a breakout candidate. And here's Terry McLaurin.
who has gone on the roller coaster ride of quarterbacks that I talked about earlier. Here comes Sam Halen, Jacoby Brissette. Last year is Taylor Heineken and what, Carson Wentz? You know, we've been through the game with Terry McLaurin, and it's not a very fun one because you just, it's unpredictable. But every year we have these weeks where he come on and reflect on the week. I'm like, oh, yeah, Terry McLaren was doing Terry McLaren stuff this week. He's a really, really good wide receiver, and I don't think he's probably valued. the way that he should be. Because the situation is not very fun. McLaurin is not, he's not broken out into being a kind of like a foundational roster piece. Yeah, he feels like. Which people thought he would. Yeah. And it's, I think that's the quarterback problem. He's just kind of been stuck at, and by stuck, I mean, he's still, you know, the last three years over 1,000, over 11002 of those three years. But for Terry McLaurin, it is, it's.
Touchdowns. I mean, five this past year, five before that, four. His rookie year, he had seven. That was the, and he had, you know, Alex Smith, I believe, for, wait, who did he have, was it Alex Smith? Kyle, am I remember that right? Yeah. So we had Alex Smith for, for some of that at least. So he's a, he's a fantastic player, but he will continue to be limited by his quarterbacks. Yeah, so, I mean, you're going to have probably. A lot of, I think a lot of Jahan Dotson excitement and not a lot of Terry McLauran excitement. So what would you trade for Terry? Would you go late first round pick? Oh, absolutely. Okay. Absolutely. If I could, if I could take like a 108, we were just talking about how to me that is, I mean, if anyone would fall hook line and sinker for that, I would do it without thinking. Would you do it for a first and a second this year? Yeah, this year I would.
You know, if it's a late first. Right. If it's a late first and add a second to get a known commodity that, look, the quarterback situation isn't better. It's going to be the same that he's experienced. But like you said, 1,100 yards, two of the last three years, over 1,000 all three years, very consistent. He was the wide receiver 14 this past year. And when I finished some of my stats with, you know, obviously this is some on the commanders and some on the cowboys, but I was kind of shocked to see that. He was ahead of C.D. Lamb in my... Terry? Rankings for this season, yes. The way that I've got the... What? I know. That's... Look, that's one of the... It surprised me. The reason I'm bringing this up was I wasn't trying to have that happen. But I think that the market share for this commander's team is going to be... When I went back and I looked at the games that Dotson played in healthy. And...
looked at the tendencies of Sam Howell. That would be a top three steamiest take in the history of the show if that's where they end up. That may be number one. There you go. I'm not saying it's going to be loved by everyone. Mike, are your pants? Did they fly off when I said that? If I ranked, that way my statistics came out. And look, these things happen. But I would take my computer. I would smash it to pieces. I would never tell anyone what just happened, and I would start over. Yeah. No, I get it, but I do think that the commanders... I've got McLaren at 22 right now. With the way that the target market share is going to break down for certain players, J.D. McKissick being gone. I don't think Curtis Samuel is going to be as involved as he was last year. If you look at the games where Dotson was healthy and you look at how the target market share broke down, I think it's going to be really heavy on McLaren and Dotson. Those two guys are going to get...
probably, I think, 50% of the targets. And there's a Mike McCarthy problem in Dallas. Well, I was going to add, Jason actually projected Dag Prescott for eight pass attempts to skip. That's right. Which is what hurt the CD Lamb, because he had seven of them. When I said he was ahead of C.D. Lamb, I have Terry McLaurna as my wide receiver 82. And C.D. Lamb is going to catch half of those passes. Yeah, half of the eight attempts. Four passes. I didn't know we were going to get, like, some magma on the show today. I was not ready. Wow. Glad it was you, not me. I apologize for the insanity of that. You should apologize to everyone who's in a ravine right now. Because they were a car in the cars off of them. I'm just having a nice commute to work. And now they're on the side of the road. Sorry, everyone. There's a lot of people on the side of the road right now. I hope you have good insurance. Yeah, AAA getting some calls. Let's talk some mailbag. Let's do it. Sure.
Mailbag. Bagel bag. Fantasy. Thank you. If you have a question for the show, go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com. Click the submit a question button or dial the voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB. We got a voicemail question, Brooksie? I have a question. Uh-oh. I was looking at Jason's ranking. Oh, man. I feel like we could spend the entire. Great Scott. It's been the rest of the show there. Wow. All right. Here's a voice mail question. Hey, Ballers. This is Amp from L.A. I have a dynasty question here. And I just wanted to know when you take over a bad team and you totally didn't make it that way. What do you do? How do you improve it? Well, you certainly blame the previous manager publicly. Number one, you say, I didn't do this. This is not my fault. So the question is if you're taking over an orphaned.
dynasty roster and it's a bad roster what do you do uh i mean the the first thing i would say is mentally accept what this team is and what you are going to have to do uh like as in time wise the amount of time you're going to have to invest of losing seasons to get this thing back into shape and the the quickest way really is you're going to have to look at your blue chip players And you're going to have to go and search inside because trading, trading blue chip players is very, very, very difficult. But it can be done. There's going to be a team out there that has a bunch of picks or maybe some young players that you can trade your superstar for and just you've got to start accumulating picks and accumulating youth. Because for you, these old bland undervalued players that we just talked about,
Their value to you is trading. They're not going to help you right now because if you're years away, Mike Evans, who is going to be 30, he's not going to help you when he's 33. You need to be looking towards the future and... You got to be throwing some haymakers, too. Yeah, and you want a shotgun approach rookie draft. So what you're saying is right. You trade a bunch, whatever veterans you have, you get picks for them, get as many firsts as humanly possible, tear your team down to the nubs. Because honestly, you want to make sure that you get that 101 or 102. You want your team to be bad because the difference between whether you get that 101 or whether you're mediocre and you're picking at the five spot.
You need one of those foundational players to build a new lineup on. And if you've got six, seven, eight picks, then you can shock an approach and maybe you hit on three of them. And now you've got three great young players to build on going forward. So that's usually my approach. Just tear it down to the nubs. It's like baseball rebuilding. If you're an MLB franchise, I mean, you need to stock the farm system and give yourself the highest. percentage chance of having some young players come up and emerge, like you said. And honestly, the nicest thing about taking over the orphan team is that you get at least five seasons of at the end of the year when someone looks at the result, you get to go with the line. These were the cards I was dealt. Yeah. Let's check. Owl. You've been rebuilding your team for about 12, four to eight years or so. How have you managed to stay rebuilding?
That is not entirely true. I have been very mediocre for four to eight years. How have you managed to stay rebuilding? The actual rebuild just started last year. Oh, okay. And the previous few years were more. It was middle of the pack every year. Actually, genuinely, I think. Pre-building. First of all, two things. One, Mike, excellent. Excellent work there. I mean, that was a great line and he deserved everything you gave him. But also, I think Owl's team is a great. example, he was middle of the pack. He never did the tear it down to the nubs approach. And he just was, you know, outside of the playoffs, but never getting a good enough pick to where he could rebuild. And so last year, you actually did. You had the fire sale and you got rid of players and you look for the- Do you still have DeAndre Swift? We do. That's his one. No, I mean, that was, I remember being pretty jealous of DeAndre Swift the last few years on your roster.
and trying to come after him and feeling like he was kind of the linchpin of your future. I bet you can get him now. Well, I'm just thinking back as it's like, man, that outlook changed for somebody like Dandre Swift that seemed like he could be foundational. And that's just, does that say anything about the rebuilding process? Because you can. Yeah, it's not a perfect science at all. But that's why Jason was saying shotgun approach of, there will be hits in the first round of the rookie draft. There will be some big hits, but when you just have like one or two, your chance of hitting the guy who really breaks out, it's not high. And be excited for 2024 because you have like this year we were pumped for Jackson Smith and Jigba to come into the draft and be the number one wide receiver. But you knew that this wasn't a Jamar Chase level of excitement. You're pumped for him, but you know that the NFL isn't going to take him in the top 10.
Next year, we have Marvin Harrison Jr. Oh, baby. Go Cardinals. He will be a Jamar Chase level of wide receiver. He should end up getting drafted top 10 minimum. He, I think he could, yeah, I think he could end up being a two, three pick. But is there, I guess the reason I brought up Swift wasn't just, I mean, punching Al, always willing. It's a good time. But not really the point. The point was like, there was opportunities on a rebuilding team to trade. DeAndre Swift for a couple of years. So it's like you could have accumulated assets when that other younger asset's big. How do you make those calls? You just try to make the best decision you can at the time and you'll get some right and you'll get some wrong. It really does go back to the, when we say the shotgun approach, it just means you need more ammunition so that some bullets hit. That's that's all it is. You want you really, really need.
Just see the future. Just see the future. Or, yeah, one of those books from the future. Instagram question from Spin John 24, single quarterback league, Traylon Burks or the 107 rookie pick. Oh, man. I would take Traylon. Traylon. I believe that when he was on the field, which was not enough his rookie year, he was actually pretty good. His targets per route run were pretty good. I liked a lot of what I saw, enough to where I didn't. You know, we talk a lot about when a rookie wide receiver comes out and fails their rookie year. They usually don't just turn it around. Failing doesn't mean bad stats just necessarily. That's not the end of it. Like Traylon didn't have a great statistical season. But when he was out there, he passed the eyeball test. He looked good. His numbers were good behind the scene. And the depth chart right now is... I think Tennessee has the worst wide receiver depth chart I've ever seen.
Yeah, I mean, it's... Legitimately, I think it's the worst. It's... Because like you said, Trailing did not prove to a high degree that he could even remotely hold up this entire offense. And then you go Nick Westbrookickeke and Kyle Phillips. I mean, the options they have there are devoid of real confidence. So it's just for the context that we have are... Racy McMath. Oh, what a name. So good. Our Dynasty League, I got Zay Flowers at the 107. Now, I don't know if Zayflowers will always be there for people out there. But Zay Flowers or Traylon Burks is. Yeah, I'll take it Zayflowers. If that's on the table, so I guess it's really close. That's tough. Instagram question from Philaphia. Who is your dynasty RB1? It's Bejohn. Hasn't played a snap of NFL football yet.
But his draft capital talent situation says we know he's going to have a great rookie year. He's younger than everyone that we know is going to be irrelevant back. He's going in the first round of redraft leagues right now. He's usually the third running back taken that I've seen in best ball draft. So if you're talking about that happening for this season now for a 21-year-old running back. There's nobody better. Mike, what is the list of players that are acceptable one overall picks? I think that Jonathan Taylor is still for running back is still worth being the number one. Breece Hall is in that conversation. And then the hardest one there is Christian McCaffrey. Because if you're looking at a three-year window with the situation and the contract that Christian McCaffrey has,
in San Francisco, for three years, he could be the running back one or I won't get super hot taking, but he could be at top five, easily a top five running back each of the next three years and be the most valuable guy, but he is, I mean, his time is running out. Do you think he's worthy of being a 101, Jason? The 101, no, I would never take him ahead of Bejohn, but he is worthy of being in the conversation of how high are you drafting a pretty much 27-year-old running back? Usually it's never. But to Mike's point, if you took the 26-year-old, slightly older, slightly smaller Austin Echler three years ago and just had domination for the last three years, you'd be pretty happy, and it was a good move. And I believe that is... And if you had taken Derek Henry three years ago.
Yeah, I mean, you've, it's rough, you know, everything we talk a lot about making bets on the odds of probability. And, but we've got to have context to it. Christian McCaffrey is an outlier prospect, outlier player, one of the best. What he does with his training and his body is, there's a, it's not like. He's just, he was born a really good running back. This guy is a nut job in the best way possible. And you see it on the field, similar to Austin Eckler. You will look at his workout videos and, you know, what he does for his body. I think you're darn right, Christian McCaffrey is going to have three good years. And I will bet on the rare 27-year-old running back in Dynasty to be a good pick right now. Let me put it.
One interesting take would be like Kenneth Walker was probably a lock ahead of Christian McCaffrey in dynasty drafts. And then he wasn't. Yeah. Jonathan Taylor was probably a lock to be the 101 in everyone's mind for a handful of years. And now he isn't. And so it's kind of, it's tough when you say, like I have him one too. I have Bejan one too, or number one as well. So I don't, I'm not objecting. to the upside there because you get such longevity. But, man, things change really quickly. Sequin was in that boat. I mean, Sequin is not super old yet, but he's not close to number one in Dynasty leagues like he was at one point in time. So I think maybe opening up that window and not locking it in as such a guarantee, like it has to be this guy and leaving a little subjectivity there is wise. I mean, if you are strongly convicted that it should be, you know, Brees Hall, because you've seen it on the NFL field.
