Stat Surprises + Burning Questions - Fantasy Football Podcast for 5/17

So 130 targets, you have 150. Jason, I don't know where he had them. I have them at 22% 127 targets. So, yeah, that'll be... Back in 2019, Cortland Sutton had a line of 1100 yards and six touchdowns, and he did that with Joe Flacco. It's not, yeah, it's not a question of whether or not he's capable. It's a question of, did you pick the right horse? Sure. Yeah, and that's why, like it could be... Which, I mean, this could be one, like Jason said, that we just should have said,

Well, duh. They extended him. They believe in him. I think both him. He's the superior talent. Him and Judy are both going to have very strong years. So the most shocking for me was where C.D. Lamb ended up in my rankings because I think we've said it multiple times this off season. There's this kind of, I think.

earned trepidation that comes along with cd lamb a lot of it was going into last year and maybe disappointing on people's expectations right he was supposed to be the ridley of of last year with the big leap forward it didn't happen 79 for 11006 it's not awful it's not incredible it's not a jefferson season that's for sure so i kind of thought hey i'm going to end up in that boat where cd lamb is a wide receiver two

and he's going to be up and down, and he ended up at six. And that's with, you know, his target share going from 18.9% last year to 21.4% in this offense. Michael Gallup is not going to be ready. James Washington is not going to dominate targets. Jalen Tolberg could be somebody we're sleeping on in this offense, but C.D. Lamb ended up in a position where, look, we know what the offense is going to do. We know what Dax capable of.

and he ended up at sixth. So the opportunities in front of him, the passing volume, I mean, they threw the ball of 643 times last year, and you're losing Amari Cooper out of this offense and Michael Gallup for a portion of the year. So sheer volume and dependency on C.D. Lamb put him much higher than I expected him to be. So that was a bit of a shocker to me. There are a number of players that, you know, when these go live,

And you'll see them soon on the website and you'll see them in detail in the ultimate draft kit. I think you'll be, well, we'll hear from you. Let's put it that way. Sure. It'll be interesting. Any other things to cover in the quick question there? Any other things you wanted to mention? I think those were good little tease. Those were, those were a good little tease. Those were, is that said right? Tees is. Those were, that was a good little tease. There you go. News and notes from around the league.

Real grammar police going on over there. Yeah, I felt bad about it. I should have just moved on. The people are happy for our show. That was good. All right. Jarvis Landry signed a one-year deal with the Saints, base salary of $3 million. Okay. You know, I don't know what to make of the deal. I did see him go off the board instantaneously in all of the drafts that were in the middle of being.

You know, slow drafts happening. He went off the board in my dynasty startup like that moment. Sure. They happened. He's not on the upper trajectory as a player. He's on the Emmanuel Sanders plan, which could be okay. I mean, Emmanuel Sanders had moments in San Francisco. He had a couple moments in New Orleans. He had moments in Buffalo. So can Jarvis have moments? Yes. Would I have more confidence in them if Drew Brees was the quarterback?

Yeah, or Josh Allen, yeah. So I think that they, I mean, this Saints offense gets Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry and Chris Oliva. They're very interesting. Added to them. So what will they do is kind of my question. I'm very curious about the prescription for James Winston last year was not the same one that we saw in Tampa Bay. It was basically.

He was a 14 to 3 touchdown interception ratio. He wasn't throwing the ball a whole lot. So will that continue? Or now that he has weapons, will they entrust him? Or will the defense be good enough to where you don't have to, right? You're not just going to tell James, go throw the ball like crazy and turn the ball over and bring your team down like you did in Tampa if you don't have to. But maybe they can compete now.

if they're challenged by a big offense. Yeah, I think that's the exact right way to look at it. They're going to contain James and try to mitigate his turnover prone nature, which you saw in a small sample last year. But I mean, goodness gracious, last year you're throwing to Marquez Calloway and Treyquan Smith and Deonté Harris. And now it's, you have legit wide receivers. So should they run up against, you know, Tampa Bay in division and they need to.

air it out they'll be able to i james was another one that i was surprised at he was a lot higher for me than i thought he was he was lower than i thought he was because i i i love these weapons and i you know i'm 28 always a sucker for james winston i i i'm still a believer but uh yeah he was he was down he's my quarterback 20 right now all right the uh jerry judy news that broke this past week and i think it broke at the end of the footcast on thursday um

What is the latest here? He was held at a county jail of which a name I can't pronounce. Second degree criminal tampering. He was released, I believe, on Bond and has a court date on May 31st. Do we have any update on the implications? Things that were being reported were very...

It sounded minor. The only thing that I would say is an update that we know now because something could still come from this. But what we do know is it is not a... Domestic violence. You really worried when he was arrested and you heard the word domestic in there that there would be a real... Violent component. A real bad violent component that could, you know, destroy a career.

This isn't that. So it's TBD on what would happen. I'm, you know, if I had to guess right now, I would I would guess that nothing comes of this. I think that the judge that let him go said there wasn't much to it. So I doubt that he gets suspended, but there's always a potential. It was reported he locked his child, his child's mother's wallet and baby formula in a car because she took his phone. Yeah, some kind of fight. But he, Jerry Judy did return to.

to off-season workouts today. Or yesterday. The Falcons managed. Yeah, baby. They managed to pry the invaluable Brian Edwards away from the Raiders. Oh, Raiders, you've been fooled. And Atlanta receives Edwards and a seventh, and the Raiders receive a fifth. Oh, baby. I mean, it makes so much sense for the Raiders because you don't need two Devante Adams, right, Mike? Right. So you catch that out of one of them. Derek Carr just kept saying Edwards.

It's very similar to Adams, and that would just, it would not gel. So good work by the Raiders, getting rid of the distraction, because you didn't want too many mouths to feed. Too many Adams type players. Right. Derek Clark can only throw one ball. You're in when Mario, Mariotta and the, Mario, AdWords is kind of your thing. It's a couple of my guys for this year, maybe. It's just delicious garbage. Uh, Falcons also signed Geronimo Allison. They're trying to keep up with the,

Bears, I believe, on signing washed up. The Bears, the Bears also won up them because they signed a one-year deal with Taj Sharp. He's still playing out. Wasn't he on the Falcons last year? Yes, they swapped. Who else did the, oh, Dante Pettis. How do you not have this in there? The Bears brought in Dante Pettus guys. Oh, man. The Bears of the Falcons are just competing for the worst trash rosters. I love it. Is this the thing where like,

If you could, you'd go to a nice steak restaurant. But if you can't, you get steak from a buffet like in mass quantities, like low quality meat, but lots of it. Yeah, I can't have an eight ounce filet mignon. So I'm going to have 32 ounce. Right. Some skirt steak. This is when they, they just, they, when they get the number one and two picks in the NFL draft, they're going to point, we were really trying.

Look at all the signings that we had over the off season. And the Bears fans, they think that I'm picking on them. But listen, you're the team that signed Dante Pettis. Not me. It wasn't me. Keel and Cole won your deal with the Raiders. Well, they had to replace Brian Edwards. Yeah. Yeah. So I think they have Mack Hollins now, too. What? Tight-in, Matt Collins? Yeah, tight-in wide receiver, who's like 15.6 a reception. And always makes...

plays like last year in Miami. He would just make a play here there. He's the Mo Alley Cox of wide receivers. There you go. There you go. He does get bigger by the year. It's unbelievable, man. He's scaled up. It's exactly right. He's not getting taller or fatter. He's just perfectly scaling up. Yeah. I don't know how he does that. I wish I could do it. I only go out. I had a laundry list of what joke to go with there. And thankfully, you fell on. I didn't have a single one.

But that's, T, you're off your game. He's lying. All right, let's take a quick break, and then we're going to dive into some mailback.
