Trevor Lawrence, which I would not. But I think the next guy off the board for me would be Fields. You take Fields? Over Lance? Yes. Oh, I would definitely be Lance. Just the rushing ability is too high. I did question the Lance versus Lawrence and landed firmly on the Lawrence side. But it was at least a legitimate question for a while in my mind with Kyle Shanahan, the draft capital, and the rushing ability.

42:05 ↗

Tray Lance would be my number two. And that makes sense. In Dynasty, when you're making this projection, you're not just looking at, you know, like the ceiling for Tray Lance is obvious if he's great, if he's a superstar. But you are making a bet on a player's ability to be a long-term starter at the NFL level, which I'm more confident of Lawrence's ability to do that than I am Lance's right now. And Fields. Yeah.

42:33 ↗

I'm more confident in Fields than Lance. Right. That's why he's second for me. On the career arc of who's going to play 10 years and become a franchise quarterback. I'm more confident. And so I get taking him second. I just, when you look at the upside, let's say they both hit, Lance's rushing ability makes Fields look like a pocket passer. Yeah. And he's not. And like Fields was my favorite quarterback when I was doing the scouting. But just the where Trey Lance went, he.

43:02 ↗

in my opinion, he doesn't have to be great. He can just be a good, competent quarterback with those weapons. Then you add in the rushing ability and he will be fantastic for fantasy. I still wonder how much he sees the field this year. Yeah, that remains to be seen. Let's say with the 49ers here, Instagram question from Chuck Alicia says, which if my name was Chuck, frankly, that would be my nickname. Chuck delicious.

43:31 ↗

Jason, you want to take a crack at that name? Chagalicious. No, never mind. Can we delete that? Which 49ers running back? You made me do it? I know. Which, you sure you weren't, your voice isn't from screaming for Logan Paul in that fight? I'm pretty confident, yes. That wasn't the Mayweather. I remember I could hear you hooting and hollering from down the road.

43:58 ↗

Which 49ers running back do you think he'll end up being the most happy with by the end of the year? This is a regrettable question based on the trade offer Jason got in his dynasty late the other day. I still think you have to go most here. He is the starter. He'll be the most active when he's healthy and he'll be good. It's just a matter of can he stay healthy? Yeah, and he's already not healthy again. Right.

44:27 ↗

That team just draws straws walking onto the practice field. I mean, you see, Brandon Ayuk's hurt, too. Now, have you seen their practices? They have to try to lift these semi-trucks. That's all they do, all practice long, is they just, they want to show strength, and they try to lift these things. Otherwise, they're doing crazy dives off of, like, 40-foot diving boards. I mean, it's just these practices are out of control. I thought it was the potholes that they build into the field. That's part of it, absolutely. They want to make sure that they're able to avoid. They even have a.

44:57 ↗

Three spots on the field with landmines. It's one of those don't hit that spot. And that's the field they play the dodge ball tournament with medicine balls. That's right. That's true. You might want to eliminate those risky behaviors, San Francisco. Is there a chance that like they just treat their injured players so well? Like they get a private facility and like really nice food.

45:17 ↗

And they want, this is like, as every training. Oh, oh, my knee. I'm going to have to go to the spa. Right. You need to toughen up. Xbox again. No, darn. I don't think they have water. Mother Madden tournament, Ayuk. I don't think they allow water, though, at practice. Oh, that could be it. Yeah, it could be it. Yeah, Moster's banged up again. Jeff Wilson's already hurt. Brandon Ayuk is hurt. I mean, the. Maybe it should be fielded over Lance.

45:45 ↗

I have Rahim Moster in a dynasty league. I offered James Robinson for Trey Sermon this weekend. Oh, I would have turned that down before you even sent it to me. It was turned down when it was sent to me. With a vengeance. Because the answer, Moster just can't stay on the field, man. Well, Trey Sermon has an injury history. So this is not the right team to arrive on. And that's why the answer is Wayne Galman. Oh, my gosh. That is not an answer. That is always a question.

46:15 ↗

Okay. Dynasty trade question from YouTube. Ben wants to know. In Dynasty, is it Ronald Jones or a 2023 first round pick? First. Oh, 23. Hmm. No, I need to remind Jason, like Ronald Jones is younger than Najee Harris. And Ronald Jones was amazing last year. I'll take Ronald Jones. Yeah. It's too far in the future. If it was 2022, I'd take the first. But I'll have two years of something.

46:45 ↗

Yeah, and I agree with that too. I think we said this last year because it's just the reality for Tampa Bay, but there will be incredible fantasy value at the running back position on Tampa Bay next year. It's just a matter of identifying it. From weeks four on, Ronald Jones was a 1,300 yard, 9 touchdown running back that, you know, caught 34 passes. From week four, that's his 17-game pace.

47:15 ↗

And then they're like, playoffs come, it's important. Lenny, you're up. Yeah, I mean. They saved him. Well, he was hurt. He got hurt at the end of the year, missed two games. I'm just highlighting that on the field, he's 5.1 of carry for the entire year. He's a good running back. He's a dynamic running back. A 90 yard touchdown will help your yards per carry. Well, sure. Thank goodness he can do that. That is fair.

47:43 ↗

Clyde could have used a few of those. Yeah, he really could have Clyde. What's the deal, man? I still, Ronald knocking out a 90-yarder. I've answered this question before as far as players you're avoiding. The Buccaneers backfield is one that there's just no value that I want them this year. That changes if it's best ball. Because I do think they're, I think you're right. There will be a lot of value to the running game of Tampa. Mike, are you taking Ronald Jones or Melvin Gordon? Oh, my goodness.

48:11 ↗

Uh, probably Melvin. Jason, you're taking Ronald Jones or Mike Davis. Think about that for a minute. I'm taking Mike Davis and Melvin Gordon. Ronald Jones or Damian Harris, Jason. Ronald Jones. Jones is going ahead of Four net in drafts, not by a lot. He's going pretty high, so. Okay, let's go here.

48:40 ↗

Ravens Wide Receiver question from Dominic. Which Ravens Wide Receiver is the best value this year? That's a really funny question. It's a weird question. It's like if you buy three meals that none of them fill you up and none of them taste very good, like which is the best value? You don't talk that way. It's Hollywood. I mean, he's the only one I think that will have. Is he going behind Bateman? It doesn't matter. I mean, I don't think Bateman has a.

49:12 ↗

better season than Hollywood, and neither one of them are being drafted highly. So that's, you know, that's the other side. I thought that was the part of the value equation. Well, but the value, I mean, if the value is like a ninth round, a eighth round, and a 12th round, then, you know, it's like in a keeper question. You just throw those out. If they're all poor picks, the value isn't there. Curtis Samuel or Hollywood. Curtis Samuel. Best friend of Ryan Fitzpatrick. Come on. We saw the chalkboard.

49:41 ↗

Yeah, they're going around the same range. Oh, that's the easy one. I like that question. Okay, that is the, that is the answer. The best value from the Baltimore Ravens is Curtis Samuel. Heard it here first, draft him. I just wanted to point out that you are giving up something to try to find the value on Baltimore. Yes. All right, Dynasty Download. Dynasty Download. Now it's my head. I don't know why I didn't sign off on this. I didn't approve the usage of my image.

50:15 ↗

Isn't that incredible? You'll be hearing from my lawyer. Yeah, yeah. I'm suing myself. Oh, has anyone ever done that? I'm sure. Yeah, that's got to have happened. People are crazy. People are nuts. This is a dynasty average reposition riser. We want to talk about Michael Carter running back for the Jets. 57201 fourth round pick. He's been more attention has been thrown on to Michael Carter recently.

50:46 ↗

Beat riders in New York say it's just a matter of time until he ends up taking over that job. I hope he still represents the value on draft day when they come or, you know, when draft day comes around because right now he certainly is. He's my favorite kind of sleeper of the rookie class. But what are your thoughts on Mr. Michael Carter?

51:07 ↗

his ADP rising makes sense. His landing spot was great. That was one of the teams that we wanted one of the big names to go to because it was such a good easy depth tart. Depth chart to overcome. Taven Coleman. A depth tartar? A depth tartar. That sounds delicious. Yeah, you put that in the toaster. Oh, a little butter on it. Oh, man. Oh, and then you get yourself a Michael Carter. It's delicious. Michael Tartor. Michael Tartor. Oh, very nice. Oh, Michael Tartner. There's a bakery science degree from...

51:37 ↗

Isn't that what you wanted? That is what I want, a bakery science degree. But the landing spot says that he'll have opportunity because Tevin Coleman is worse. Ahead of him and is awful and is injured and is always injured. However, I still don't expect the team to be that great. He is not a...

51:59 ↗

break away back that's going to have the 90-yard touchdown runs. So I do see Michael Carter with an opportunity, but my projection is more of a Devin Singletary and on a worse offense. So I don't know that he's going to be great ever. I think Kevin Coleman, you can steal some weeks. He's going to go so late in drafts and he's going to start week one as the first snap out of the backfield. So if you want to steal a few weeks of productivity,

52:27 ↗

If you're, if you invested in other rookie running backs and I think Kevin Coleman, you're just going to be able to steal a few weeks before Michael Carter takes over. But I like him. I think there's an opportunity. I think that line might end up impressing people this year. They still got a ways to go, but they got some great pieces on that offensive line. It'll come down to, is Zach Wilson going to check it down to Michael Carter? And, you know, just like off of his, off of Wilson's final year,

52:57 ↗

You can't just say that's going to be a layup that he's going to do it. Probably going to check it down to Tevin Coleman. Oh, gosh. Gross. He's not just spike the ball on the ground. Just punt it. Just kick it away. But the thing is, is Michael Carter is a very good pass catcher. That's where I think if he's going to break out in his rookie season, it'll come with that. It'll only come because he is utilizing the passing game phenomenally. And if he's not, then it won't come.
