AFC East Breakdown + Scariest Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast for 7/13

Cases you can make for Antonio Gibson or Hunter Henry or, you know, DiMario Douglas. Maybe he steps up. But the probably that's it. Ramandre Stevenson checkout. I think I've gone through the full cycle of trying to be optimistic about this roster and then realizing that it's probably not going to happen. And then when you look at the opening schedule, you're going to beat Cincinnati and Cincinnati in week one? No. You're going to beat Seattle? I mean, that's. At home? Maybe. You're going to go to New York and you're going to go to San Francisco. So one in three is probably your best case scenario to start the Gerard Mayo era. Yeah, I was going to say it looks to me like Drake May will be starting week five. Do you think that the Jets, dolphins and Bills fans, how many years of this do they need to feel better? To feel about what they went through? At least a decade. You've got to go through a full 10 years. Yeah, you've got to have 10 years to where you just don't really remember anymore. Okay.

Yeah, the projected win total, four and a half in a tough schedule. So they're underdogs in every game this year based on Vegas lines. I think the most interesting thing about this team, like if I'm like, what are the cool storyline? Well, like, what is interesting? What am I fascinated to find out? I am just fascinated to find out which wide receivers make the roster. It's just there's so many. There are so many wide receivers here and they can't all make the roster. Well, and it's like I see Jalen Polk and Mario Douglas and Kendrick Bourne and Javon Baker and.

Then they got KJ Osborne. Don't forget about Juju. Juju's there and then Thornton. Oh, yeah, second round pick. He may not. No, I mean, most of these guys won't be there, but it's like, it's just. You want to try to predict this division? I do. This one is tough. Oh, it's super easy for me. Okay, it's not tough. Go ahead. You'll be go first? Yeah. Dolphins win the division. I think they've got the best roster on both sides of the field. Bills. are going to be second the jets great defense i don't believe in the offensive weapons patriots last i have the jets winning division and when you when you look at the when you look at it's not that spicy they won seven games they are the second highest odds to win the division they have higher odds to win the division than miami does um so buff you know then i have buffalo

I'm sorry, I got the Jets, then Miami, then Buffalo, the New England. So I just made the bet. I just sent Josh Allen out in Dynasty. And so I'm going to follow that through with how I see the, you know, it was one thing to switch the offense like they did over the back half of the year and have some success. It's another thing running it from the top without the stability of Stefan Diggs. Like I know he wasn't involved that much. He's still running routes. He's still part of the defensive. Yeah, that's true. Like, I don't think he's going to, Keown Coleman is not getting the same kind of coverage that Stefan Diggs is getting. They're going to bring some, you know, linebackers up. They're going to be able to watch that running game. The hardest part for me was Bill's versus Jets. Like I feel like the way that I look at it is like, okay, the Patriots are last. I think the dolphins will win. Got it. I just couldn't go back and forth. But when I thought about, so the seven wins for the Jets, four of them were against.

Tommy DeVito, Sam Howell, Bailey Zappy, and Russell Wilson. So it was like, okay, you can win those. They can win them again. They can. They got a great defense. Yeah. So, Mike, where are you going? They also beat Josh Allen and Jalen Hertz and C.J. Stroud. Oh, man. Selective. Selective. It was very selective because it was right after the showdown. I'm going to go. I think the bills will stay at the top. Then I'll take the Jets, Dolphins, Patriots. Sorry. That is three very different. Well, not the Patriots. The Patriots are right where they're going to finish. For the page, it's just, is Drake May the guy? Like if Drake May is the guy, then they will figure it out really quick. I definitely think it will be a very fun division to watch. I think Drake May is the storyline that I'm most excited to see in New England. But, you know, we've been surprised.

We've been surprised quite a bit with the turnover in the division. It's just injuries are a big part of it. I mean, the Jets story last year is different on one injury, right? And there's a lot of questions to be answered. Yeah, and obviously when these teams go from worst to first, it is oftentimes the biggest deal is the quarterback. I think none of us would have ever projected last year that the Houston Texans finished first in the division and are awesome because we didn't think rookie C.J. Straub would come in and be. that good. And so Drake May has got a lot of talent. If Drake May comes in and is Justin Herbert, you know, then the Patriots aren't going to look at. The Patriots have a very good defense. I think Jarob Mayo is going to do great things. I think it's just a very tough division to come in and do it in year one. All right. On Tuesday we have the AFC West, so we'll wrap up the AFC divisional breakdowns. Thursday, we'll take a break between the two conferences.
