teams right now. Well, and that's why it's difficult for me because Mark Andrews, like you said, he's the difference maker at a position. In a dynasty league, there aren't very many difference making tight ends. I mean, it's the same in redraft. You know, we have maybe four players at the tight end position every year where you just, you plug them in and you're happy, the vast majority of the time because they go out there and they put a big fantasy numbers. It's how do you view Terry McLaurin? Where?

Where is he going? Did you see the best of Terry McLaurin last year as a rookie? His quarterback situation is questionable at best. They are, you'll be interested to know. Mark Andrews is younger than Terry McLaurin. Oh my gosh. He did come in as a baby boy. Mark Andrews is 23 years old. Terry McLaurin is 24. Did you see the?

The newest comp from head coach Ron Rivera. He's throwing comps out willy-nilly. Let me think. The first one, he's got Christian McCaffrey already with Antonio Gibson. That is correct. Okay. So that comp was perfect. So this is for Terry McLaurin? Yes. I haven't seen it, but I would guess it would be Steve Smith. Oh, I'm going Jerry Rice. No, it's a recent. It's DJ Moore. And DJ Moore.

Because Rivera was there. He's just confident. I feel like DJ Moore is so young, you need to comp him to somebody still. Yeah. I was just talking skill set. Sure. And DJ Moore had a real breakout season last year, not that McLaurin didn't. It is very hard. I think I'm still going to take Terry McLaurin here, but that's, that's tough. You need usually in a Dynasty League. You're going to need four.

good young wide receivers. I only need to fill one tight end spot. I wish my title was stronger in the aforementioned champ champ dynasty league. But you did win the championship. Right. After trading Mark Andrews away for John Ross. Yes. And, you know, it's because I've got four stud wide receivers. My, my tight end position is, I mean, I've got. We got Jack Doyle.

Yeah, Jack Doyle and Hayden Hurst. And I do have no fan in Eric Ebron, but it's just piecing together a start every week. Just go trade for Blake Jarwin, who will turn into Mark Andrews. I'm guessing you have Blake Darwin, Mike. Look, I cannot confirm nor deny. I also have Terry McLaren. I can tell you we will not be having negotiations after this show. I'm fine with my slew of five Blake Jarwin's I have already. You think I'm trading Blake Jarwin after all this time?

Not happening. How dare you even ask? This is just getting me excited for another season of Dynasty. Yes. Fantasy football is super fun. Next question. Well, right before the show, there's some rumors about Rahim Moser getting paid, extended. Get that money, man. And I just got him in the Dynasty League, and that would make me feel very good about that acquisition. All right. Is it a bad idea to take Justin Jefferson over Jerry Judy in my rookie draft? Asked Joseph Flanagan. Hmm.

It's a lot of J's. No. No, I wouldn't. But this is where you have to pick the wide receiver prospect you prefer, the offense you prefer. Kirk Cousins versus. Exactly. Drew Locke. Yeah. I mean, I would take Jerry Judy because of the talent, but the situation is far better for a very good Justin Jefferson. So you do you. Both should start from day one. Yes. I would just highlight the fact of.

A few years ago, there were three wide receivers, and they were all taken in the first round. We had... You're talking about the Corey Davis year? We're talking about, no, LeQuon Treadwell. Now I'm struggling even to think of anybody's name. Was that the John Ross here? No, no. Cory Coleman. Yeah, Corey Coleman. And Josh Doxon. And those were all consensus top four picks behind Zeke. There was a wide receiver that year who was drafted by a team in the second round.

So he fell. That receiver is Michael Thomas. You do you, man. If you believe in Justin Jefferson, that's what I'm saying. If you clip that section of this show out to highlight what rookie draft pick trading variation can become, you know, you can end up with crap. Trade rookies. Do not highlight that I took dachshund over Michael Thomas. Oh, man. You did.

Yeah, of course he did, because everybody did. This is why we usually will err on the side of taking the known vet over the higher potential rookie because the hit rate of rookies is not what you think it is. Oh, man. And I brought up Corey Davis and Justin Blackman, Michael Floyd. There have been some big old dynasty withs.

TBD. It feels bad right now that you could have drafted Josh Jacobs. Yes. No question. No question. And the pathway for Harry to make you feel okay. Or AJ Brown or, you know, just a cruel beast dynasty. Fantasy football is no fun. Next question. The real key is you've got to take all the great players and then let the bad one go by. That is one of the best strategies that we.

adhere to all right randall wants to know what what round you would consider devon singletary an actual value oh a value where i'll tell you where he's going i'll tell you right now 38th overall pick rb 21 is that so fourth round playing a little adp price check here are you i'm okay with that i think i am too i'm okay with devon singletary i i know that the there is a ground swell for zach moss and i think it's it's fair that they're they were both third round

players, but I still, I think that Singletary has actually proven it on the NFL field. I think he will be the leader of the timeshare. And I, I still have Singletary coming through and being a good fantasy player as well. So a value, you know, fifth round. If you get him in the fifth, I think you, you got a very nice value, because I would take him at, at cost in the fourth round. Now, he's going around David Johnson, James Connor, David Montgomery, Levill, Rahim Mustard. So, well, yeah, okay, okay.

I need to change that answer. Bell's four picks ahead of it. Okay. He's directly ahead of David Johnson, though, in best ball ADP right now. Directly ahead of James Connor. Yeah, I feel like I would take those two guys above Singletary. Would you take? I mean, I'd take David Montgomery over Singletary. I had to make that decision in one of my leagues. I would as well. This is what I was going to bring up. It's not about what round a guy is a value. It's about...

Where does he slot in, among other people, in tiers? You know, we look at tier base drafting, and I don't see him as a value ahead of David Johnson and David Montgomery and these other guys. But he's not an afterthought. I think he can be, you know. If I could wait around and get David Montgomery, that'd be great. Yeah. Yeah. So where he's currently going is not a good enough value. That's fair.

All right. This question comes in from Gus Bussanuski. And he asks about Gus Edwards saying, are both Gus Edwards and Justice Hill drops in Dynasty now? I would not drop them. Agreed. But I understand the question. I have Justice Hill and a legion. To me, he is pretty much dead to me.

One injury at a fickle running back position for a team that runs the ball so much. It's really hard to just completely give up on those guys. Also, tell us what your knuckles feel, Andy. Oh, my God. It just exploded. Are we popping our knuckles? Is that what we're doing now? Sorry. He reads the bones. Oh, my goodness. It's a vision of. What it got, Gus Edwards was like over five of carry last year.

Gus Edwards was awesome last year. Like fourth quarter Gus was just owning the NFL. I think he had 133 carries. Yeah. That's a decent amount of carries to run at five point something and clip. But he's a, but he was irrelevant, right? You're not playing? It was relevant to your point that if an injury happened, this team could trust Gus Edwards over Jacob Dobbins. It's very possible. Instantly.

Because you might, you know, just in the way the offense functions and runs and third downs and all those things. Like Gus, like you said, don't cut him. If an injury happens, he may become... Yeah, but he's at the bottom of your bench. Sure. Is he lower than Justice Hill? No, I think Justice Hill is the lowest to me. Those two players threaten year one Dobbins' redraft views. Yes, for sure. I do think Dobbins is going to dominate, though.

Not year one. Would you cut Darwin Thompson? Yeah. That's the other question. Darwin Thompson and Justice Hill are virtually identical to me. You don't have to, but they're the fourth guy. You might want to. Oh, I'm saying like maybe there's maybe there's a rookie chilling on your waiver. Like, like Adam Troutman, the tight end for New Orleans. I would rather drop Darwin Thompson and.

Put him on my bench and see if he develops. Do you rather have Darius Geis on your bench than all three of those players? Yes, for sure. He has the opportunity to be the starter for his franchise this season. All right. Facebook question from Stephen. Earliest, you would reach on a player like Madison or Hunt when using a first rounder on Cook or Chubb. Well, I think there is a differentiation there between Madison and Hunt tier-wise. Yeah. Hunt has a potential week-to-week utility.

you know, running back three, flex. Like, you're not starting Madison week to week, right? Well, at least you wouldn't have last year. I can't. It's hard to change, but at this point, if you're projecting the change, it's up off of what evidence. Yeah, you have no reason to do that. Do you reach for Hunt if you're the chub owner? Or do you find yourself stuck in a place where all of a sudden you're starting to Browns running backs every single week?

Yeah, I think I would prefer to be one or the other. I mean, you're not going to want to start them both. You're limiting your upside doing that. You're limiting your upside on a week-to-week basis, having them both on your team. That's a roster spot that you can't be getting points from another NFL team. So I would prefer not to have both of them. Madison and Dalvin Cook, that's more of a, it's more of a handcuff.

where Madison would be amazing if Dalvin Cook misses time. Crime Hunt is going to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season. What do you guys see as his future in Dynasty? I think it depends a lot on this season to me. If I had to handicap it right now, I don't think he's going to get a leadback job again. Okay. I think he will, but he won't get a bunch of money. I think he won't.

But I think he will. You know, respect my thoughts. And I think he might. Welcome to the fantasy footballers. Were you happy with having Devante Freeman and Kevin Coleman together for many years? Because Coleman was standalone, you know, he went in the fifth round, six round for two or three years in a row. I think the...

point here is that you don't need to reach for Hunt if you have Chubb. It's not a negative to have both. He's still a handcuff and a usable asset and an unrestricted free agent at age 26. So Hunt has standalone value, but that just because you have Chub does not mean you need to draft hunt over people that have a better fantasy outlook that are going to help your team at that position or others. Yeah. And another way to think about that is, you know,

You don't need to reach for Hunt if you could draft another play that you could start every week anyways. I mean, if you look at Hunt and he may end up not being a weekly start, he might end up being just a player that when Chubb goes down gives you great value. If he goes down. Sure. Instagram question from Greg. As a wide receiver two for your roster, do you prefer Robert Woods or Calvin Ridley? Foof.

I love both of these players this year. Robert Woods is my selection here, though. I love the upside of Ridley. I think Woods is locked. Yeah, I'm identical to you. I, you know, as my wide receiver two, I want consistency. I want high targets. And while I think Ridley's ceiling is actually higher than Robert Woods.

Robert Woods is very, very safe to me. And if I can have him as my wide receiver too going out there and getting 130 plus targets pretty much guaranteed barring injury, I love having that kind of consistency in that slot on my fantasy roster. Give me Woods. Instagram from Garrett Johnston, when would you be okay, taking a chance on carry on?
