FA Frenzy Continues + Longshot Season - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/14

I mean, he has three consecutive years, 98th, 114th, and 79th. Well, it's not three consecutive years, Andy. No, that's four years, but three times he played. Yes. Yeah. He's 31. It's over. Yeah. Farewell. I would bet a lot of money on Michael Thomas never having two consecutive relevant fantasy days in a row the rest of his career. Yeah. Noah Brown, back to the Texans. That's fun. Yeah. Honestly, that move is, that's a bigger move than you think. As in calming your fears for Nico and Tank. Calming the draft fears that Houston will, I mean, it's not like Noel Brown's going to stop them from taking best value on a one of the many good wide receivers necessarily, but it does help you imagine their plans without a rookie whiteout. Greg, Dorch, back to Arizona, one year deal. The Dorch. Greg, they hate you. Maybe not anymore. Well, maybe.

Devante Parker was released and then signed by the Eagles, a one-year deal to Philadelphia where he will get no separation, but he's big and strong and can catch a touchdown. And he will still make a lot of money. Mack Hollins, the bills, brought in Mack Hollins, who has grown another foot. So he grows one foot taller every year. I believe he is now 6-11. It's because of his ferocious hatred for soup. And he doesn't wear shoes, right? Is that it? When he prefers. Have you seen this? And he hates soup. What kind of take is that? Because you can't eat it with your hands. And he wants to eat like a wild man? I guess. He's really into medieval times. I'm pretty sure like all them, like the wild men, they make soup. At least a stew. Yeah, like a stew. Have you seen the videos of these people who cut the souls off of their shoes? I have seen that video, yes. And it is stupid.

It is foul and disgusting. Because they want to be barefoot, but they realize that no shoes, no shirt, no service. Yeah, like a functioning society denies them in. So they wear fake shoes so they can spread their foot germs everywhere. What is that? And that the germs from the floor of the store also they take home with them. Yeah. You know what's on that floor? Fecal matter. Wait, why? Why is there? You think they don't go in the bathroom? Oh, okay. But you're saying that you track. There's poop everywhere, man. Oh, my gosh. I never thought you have, if you're barefoot, you got to go in the bathroom barefoot. Yes, you do. You don't have like bathroom shoes you bring with you. I don't know. I don't know what that's about. Hunter Renfro has been released. Alan Robinson released. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to jump into the tight ends here. Hunter Henry, back to the Patriots. That's what we hoped for. That's what we thought would happen. And that's what happened. Yep.

Johnny Smith, two-year deal with the dolphins. Okay, Gerald Everett, two-year deal with the Bears, musical chairs. Mike Gisicki, to the Bengals. Mike Gassiki, just so you know, he lines up in the slot like 60, 70% of the time. That's all he does. So Drew's sample coming back as well, but if you want, like, I'm guessing at some point during next season, you will say, is Mike Gisicki a streaming option this week? That's my prediction. I don't disagree with that. The Rams have signed Colby Parkinson to a three-year deal, big money, 15.5 guaranteed. Colby Parkinson's a great run-blocking tight end, and they, this is good for- There has to be more. It's good for Kyran, man. It's good for Kyran. It feels like there has to be more. What do you mean? Like, not just run-blocking. I'm saying, I think there could be some fantasy value here. Higby's still there?

Well, but Higbe is coming off of a devastating injury. And then we had Davis Allen, right? So I get the names right. I'm just these two last name guys. Like Colby Parkinson, I believe in our dynasty league, he got scooped up. And I think that's, I think that's a good savvy move of if the guy got paid by a team that there's, there's tight end value for the, for the Rams. Go check it out. Go see for your waiver wire if he's there. He has not, I mean, I don't know. I don't know if I agree with you. It's long shot stuff, but we're in long shot dynasty season where you got to follow the money. His last two years, ironically, the exact same 34 targets, 25 receptions, two consecutive years. Yeah, but he's up against Big Montana, man. What are you going to do? Yeah, 40% of snaps. So, no, he's worthy of a dynasty ad. We talked about Disley. Noah Fant, two-year deal to come back to Seattle.

and Austin Hooper still playing football this time with the Patriots. Whoa, I missed that one. Yeah. All right. I have wondered if all of these like middle tier tight ends hang out. And they're like, let's see if we could do it. Let's get another deal. And they're like, our position's very hard. I think that is the tight end position is one of the most misunderstood when it comes to fantasy in reality. Fantasy players don't understand the offensive line. and therefore they don't understand half of what a tight-in does on a regular basis, if not more than that. I think that's the truth. And so we kind of gawk at the numbers, and we think the numbers always translate to fantasy, and they just don't in that position. Irv Smith, one-year deal with the Chiefs, we mentioned it. Okay. It's not a big deal. It really isn't. Well, it's a one-year deal, so of course it's not very big. We'll take another break. We'll talk about some other news that...

that we haven't covered yet. Some teams with opportunities remaining and players still out there. And then if we have time, we'll do some mailback. Checking on A.J. Dylan, Mike, is he easy? Did it happen? No, no. Goodness, no. I got, I got Derek Henry on the Ravens. So I don't know. You did it mid-show. Guys, keep an eye on. I don't know if there's enough magic left. I used maximum magic on that. Do you realize the joy that I will feel when A.J. Dylan signs with the Baltimore Ravens. That would be whatever. That would be perfectly fine. You'd be fine with it. Okay. By the way, what was the touchdown total, Kyle, for Gus Edwards last year? 13. 13. 13 touchdowns for Gus Edwards. I feel like that's the quietest 13 that have ever happened. Oh, man. Mike, you're excited. You're going for a repeat in our dynasty league. Sure am. And those 15 touchdowns from Derek Henry are going to help. All right. Jimmy Garoppolo, Mike. No longer at Raider. Nope. No longer a Raider.

Let them off the hook when he popped for PEDs. Because then they got to just let him go without having to pay him anything. Still handsome. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? You know what the worst part is? He's going to get handsomer. Oh, because men get. Well, just that, that face with that hair and that beard. Goat full Clooney. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. As soon as he starts graying, you'll be like, gosh darn it. Jimmy, stop. It's not fair. Yeah, yeah. Don't bring him into an insecure locker room. That's all I'm saying. Drew Locke won your deal with the Giants. I'm hideous. Mason Rudolph to the Titans. These are all backup deals. Cardinals signed DJ Dallas to a three-year $8 million deal. So there you go. That's good for the Connor. To me, that's good for James Connor. Sure. Perfect kind of guy not to mess with your workload. Ty Johnson back to the bills, one-year deal, running back.

Um, Deerunis Johnson, back to the Jaguars. Amir Abdullah won your deal with the Raiders, Salvin Ahmed, dolphins. He's back. Yeah, there you go. So, um, what are the big free agents sitting out there right now? Hollywood Brown doesn't have a team. Curtis Samuel doesn't have a team. Those are the, I mean, those are ones that you're paying close attention to. James and Crowder has a team. We didn't have that in there. Apparently that was not important enough to talk about. James and Cratter is over he's 62 years old. He's still playing. He's one of the first players in the NFL to collect a paycheck and Social Security at the same time. It's incomprehensible. Let's see. So Tyler Boyd, I'm trying to run through the wide receiver names real quick. Tyler Boyd feels like the best player. Zeke is still out there, not that that matters a whole lot. You think Tyler Boyd? I think Hollywood's the best player. I'm sorry, besides Hollywood.

Because you had already mentioned him. And then the running back. No team for Beckham? Yeah. There's the, yeah. I don't. The Beckham signing last year was so weird. But for the running backs, it is, yeah, J.K. Dobbins would should be the best player, but coming off of that injury, who knows. And then you have just kind of the, the lumberers, you know, and Clyde, A.J. Dillon. The lumberers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's what they are. The lumber is that if they're in the right situation, right situation, like you put, you put one of them on the Cowboys and you'll have some excitement for it. You realize we got nearly 30 seconds of that sound, of that sound right there. Yeah. Like if I wanted to let it go for 30 seconds. That is how long it takes Clyde to run 40 yards. I put the ball in the tee and you hit it, you hit it right out. It is interesting right now just to mention it.

As we get into, you know, a lot of the big running backs are gone and Dallas doesn't have a running back, right? The Cowboys fans are furious. Because they haven't done anything. Yeah. Well, yeah, they've not done very much. The Raiders have Zemir White. Man, Zemir White dynasty managers are just, they're white knuckling right now, just holding on to the edge of the cliff. Because he was great. Zamir White was great for fantasy. This feels like, is Zemir White going to be the Rashad White? Is it a white offseason again where you're like, remember you're just, you're threatened that Rashad White would lose his job? And then to me, the Raiders identity is too built on the running back for them to go ahead with just Samir White. But if they do, that is a huge endorsement of what they believe about it. Yep. They did try to bring Josh Jacobs back. I would be shocked if they weren't in on third round running backs. But that's just me.

So those are two teams to watch in that department. Let's jump into the mailbag unless I'm missing anything new going on. Not yet. We'll keep wishing. The league is looking into potential tampering by the Eagles and the Falcons related to Sequin and Cousins. There should be like a sour grapes rule where like teams that miss out on a guy can go complain. And these teams, you just, you know, you don't have to announce the deal right away. You know what I mean? Where when tampering opens up and there's immediately this huge agreement, it feels like, just sit on it for an hour. Be like, oh, no, we were really talking. No, I think that you can't because the deal, you're talking about when the league year opens? No, no, no, I'm talking to. No, see, the tampering period, you got to put it out in public so that it's harder for the guy to change his mind because he can change his mind.

You got to go out there the second he handshakes you, your Twitter team has got to be sitting there with a button to click so that that guy has to publicly change. Then take him to a nice lunch. Yeah. So he can't do anything and you can delay it a little bit. They'll consult with you, Mike. We'll figure it out. Let's jump into some mailbag. Mailbag. I just remembered the brownies. Just now. I've been thinking about him the whole time. All right. If you have a question for the show, you can always go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com. or dial our voicemail hotline 302-464 TFFB. Do we have any voicemail today, Brooksie? No, sir. All right. First question from Joshua. Oh, boy. What do you do if your league commissioner keeps canceling trades just because he doesn't like them? I've figured out two different trades with another league mate. The commissioner vetoes them because he believes I should be sending more. Keep in mind the first trade proposal was proposed by the other player. The commissioner thinks I'm trying to swindle him.

There is nothing you can do except leave the league. It's a turtle alert. Yeah, that's a bad situation. That's a commissioner who is overreaching on what their power should actually be. A commissioner is not there to do that. You are there to put out fires and make sure that the league is moving. forward getting draft date set this generally happens at least from my experience in leagues where where it was like one dude's idea to make the league and then wrangled a bunch of people into it and then so it's their league it's very possessive could be uh oftentimes that's what i've noticed but there's there's nothing there's nothing you can do because that's who this person is the only thing you could do is try to propose something where like trades are not subject to commissioner approval and get the league to agree on it

Just take it out of their hands. I'm guessing the commissioner will not approve. Yeah, no, you're right. You're right. All right. What is this? Backstory and favorite moments with Jay Gris. This question comes from YouTube. James Wainwright. Apparently, this is from our research department. debut episode for Jay Gris was episode 376. Yep. And we are on episode. 1,558. So the back story of that was we knew that Jason was going to miss some time and we thought it would be really hilarious to put a nonsensical cardboard cut out. And we ran through all the options like, do you put just a super shredded guy back there? Do you put a shredded guy and put Jason's face on it? And then we landed, we saw this bear and thought, no, that's funny.

It was real close to being like a tank top, you know, muscle man. But no, it's, but it's, yeah, we went the more logical choice, big cardboard bear. Yes. Which apparently that was the same episode that you had cut your hair. Yep. And that point has been pointed out. Kyle, have you built like some sort of robust database of moments? I mean, I also found out today. that Jason has missed just five of the last 350 shows. Now, I would not know this data, but Kyle's got a database of fantasy footballers information. Kyle sounds like he should be doing important work. And I don't mean... Wait, wait, I know what you mean. You mean like with some other organization... Yes. I don't mean within our operation. For humanity. I mean, like, this man has investigational skills that could be...

taking the world into a better place. Instead, he wastes them on fantasy football. He should be doing background checks on police officers. Yeah. He should be doing vetting somewhere from a major, you know, nuclear plant. It's like, like what the top 10 most wanted list. Kyle, Kyle knocked that out in about three days. Found them all. Oh my gosh. Yeah, Kyle should be looking for murderers and thieves. Yes. But instead, he finds data nuggets on Jay Gris. Oh, man, Kyle. His parents, I promise you. His parents have to be so proud. Let me say this slowly. You're not wasting your life. You make a difference. You matter. Okay. Well, he could be wasting life and making a difference. Both could be true. All right. Nick wants to know from Instagram. How do you avoid fantasy fatigue? You just take the breaks when you need them.

That's the answer. How do you avoid fatigue in anything? Yeah, you got rest, man. I heard an expression. Don't let the load overwhelm your limits when it comes to stay. So that might be decreasing the amount of leagues you're in, taking a couple months off, even though we're here year round and entirely dependent upon your listenership to pay our employees. Take a break. Take a break. Put the show on in the other room. Hit play. Yeah, give us those listens. Give us the listens, but leave the room, you know? But no, just take a break, maybe cut the leagues back, and there you go. This is a funny one. Rick wants to know, why does Mike always say the last words on the pot? Because Andy says the first one. Obviously. This is not rocket science, people. You ever heard of taking turns? I'm really enjoying the show today. I don't know if it's just the brownie smell in the air.

Thank you, everybody, for listening to our podcast. Thanks for letting us do this for a living. It makes sense. Yeah, that's, I mean, clearly. Should the bear do it? No. Mike would never let me do both. Yeah. We own the company equally. Goodness. But obviously, yeah, Jason's silent. Yeah. Yeah, it's not his turn. He's spending that time dreading doing a YouTube promo. That's it, what he does at that moment in time. Yeah, that's accurate. All right. I think we're going to wrap things up. I like this one real quick. Okay, go ahead. From Riley in Nebraska. Should I trade Jordan Love for Kirk Cousins and a second round pick in a dynasty two quarterback? And I would say no. Okay. I'd rather have Jordan Love in the second. Yeah, I'm kind of excited about Green Bay. Don't tell Al. Or wait, Jordan Love for Kirk and a second. No, I'd rather just have Jordan Love. If I have Kirk Cousins and I can move him in a second for Jordan Love.

In a Superflex, I would be very interested in doing that. Word of the day, Mike, as we close things out. Word of the day for March 14th is emulate. Okay. Oftentimes, Al Borland tries to emulate our success in fantasy football. Immulate. That's the word of the day. That'll do it for the fantasy footballers podcast. We'll catch up with you next week. Jason will be back. Until then.
