We might be low, but you do want them on your team. That's a two. Are you, you ain't paying one receiver two prices in the draft. I'm not going to have them on my team because I'm not going to pay, I'm not going to pay over what I know ahead of him in my rankings. Yeah, I mean, but he's going to win people weeks, period. I mean, he's going to win three games a year for somebody. If Tyler Lockett was on the Tennessee Titans, I would view A.J. Brown.

53:22 ↗

more like I view D.K. Metcalf. I don't think either team's going to throw the ball a ton, but the talent and the ability. But with A.J. Brown being alone, I'm excited about his prospect of having those targets come his way, whereas they're not all going to go to D.K. Metcalfe, and it's still a smaller pie. I think that's a good comparison, though. Both teams proven efficient over time. I mean, those guys are going right next to each other in the tracks. Same targets here last year, too, by the way. And so I'm going to take A.J. Brown over Metcalfe if I'm taking that archetype.

53:52 ↗

I think that's probably an important statement because I don't think that's how it's rolling out in ADP. All right, let's move on. One more segment. Dynasty Download. I'm glad to see we updated the graphic. What happened to my head? Well, the Dynasty Download segment, it's evolving, Mike, and it's new. And the graphics, we keep upgrading, upgrading them. Well, I guess the real question is, how did we get life-size?

54:25 ↗

of my head in that graphic. Well, we got an 85 inch television. That's how we started. So I definitely, if you want life size, don't look at this on your computer or your laptop. You're going to need full television, maybe if you've got a projector. You need a lot of pixels. Yeah, a lot of pixels. YouTube.com slash the fantasy football. I think we're going to keep working on that graphic each week. Oh, are we? Yeah. Well, we just want to refine. We're good perfectionists around here. It's right. It's much better now. Than last week? Yeah. Yeah.

54:54 ↗

All right, Dynasty Download. Here's what we're going to talk about today. It's a trade for, tradeaway, or hold for Kareem Hunt. Oh, man. Still just 25 years old. Right now is Dynasty Startup ADP is 58 off the board in the Chris Carson, Melvin Gordon, Mostert Range, Deontay, Gala Day Range. Last year, I can tell you, I really loved and hated.

55:25 ↗

having Kareem Hunt on my team because I loved the end of every game and it was brutal as a fan. There were multiple games during the season where I never saw him. He didn't take the field until the second half or he took the field three times and got one handoff for one yard and you'd go in at halftime and you'd go.

55:46 ↗

Oh, gosh. Why is this my flex? I should, because he was always a flex choice for me. So it was always like, I had another wide receiver. And the wide receiver would have a nice first half. I'd be like, oh, I made the wrong call again. But nine times out of 10, he was the right call because he found his way into the end zone or the passing game in the second half. And I love Cleveland. I think Cleveland is a great team going into 2021. So, oh, that was just reminded me. I had a Jason Moore style.

56:15 ↗

Cleveland Browns won the Super Bowl on my dream last night. They are. If anyone wants to put some futures on my bets. Do we have any sample size of your dreams, Mike? Have they come true? I would have to check the tape on that. I don't think so. They are in consideration when, you know, my dreams? Your dreams are in consideration for just what I enjoy in life. But no, I mean, when I'm looking at who I think are, you know, the Super Bowl.

56:40 ↗

matchup for 2021. I mean, they have to be up there. The team is great. Now, the issue that Kareem Hunt has is a Nick Chub problem. And we don't know whether he'll sign, you know, that second contract. I think if all of us were to place a bet on whether Chubb will re-sign with the Cleveland Browns after his rookie contract is up, we'd all bet heavily that it will happen. Yeah, right?

57:08 ↗

Yes. So, you know, this is one of those things where as Hunt gets older, he's not going to go and get a massive contract from another team. I think this is his role from here on out. So that's how I view him in dynasty, even though he's young. I view him as the two of the one-two punch of the Cleveland Browns for the next three or four years. In which case, I'm a hold because I know that when- You won't get the value you want in a dynasty trade.

57:38 ↗

for Kareem Hunt because you can't craft a narrative that makes sense. No. And maybe I'm willing to buy if someone is very low on him, but it's tough because he was the running back 10 last year, which seems weird. And I don't think people realize he was a top 10 fantasy running back last season. I think you'll see some regression from Kreme Hunt, too. Because he was under 200 carries. He only had 38 receptions, but he scored five times through the air. And I just wonder if that five receiving touchdown number comes down and, you know,

58:07 ↗

He's just so dang good, though. He's a great player. And when they're winning, they're willing to throw him out there to end the game, right? He'll break off five, six, seven-yard runs for the whole fourth quarter, and Nick Chubb will, you know, drink a strawberry dacry on the bench. I mean, Cream Hunt ends the game. Well, and that's the thing is, like, you're talking about fresh legs and the, you know, less risk of injury. There were only two running backs in the top 24.

58:33 ↗

that played 16 games last season. Cream Hunt's one of them, and it's probably because he played half of every game. You know, he's getting a six or eight game. Well, how long was Chub hurt last year? What was that scratch? I believe it was weeks five through eight. So I think he missed four games, if I'm remembering that correctly. Yes, he missed weeks. He was injured in week four, so essentially missed that entire game. But so four through eight. So the opportunities were through the roof. And now he wasn't as efficient.

59:03 ↗

But from weeks 5 through 10, you know, 20 opportunities a game for Hunt, which was not his normal. I mean, after Chub came back, he was down at 12. So you went from 20 to 12. So some of his finish was kind of propped up by that injury. Yeah, and what's ironic is that was what was super disappointing. Like I was all in on Kareem Hunt for where he was being drafted because I thought he's an RB2 with Chubb on the field. And if he goes down, he's a guaranteed top five guy. Well, Chubb went down.

59:33 ↗

And it was like, oh, this is just like, I know the opportunities went up, but he didn't do much more with it. And you were super disappointed last year when you had the four-week stretch of all cream. I was, yeah, I was super bummed. I'm going to go trade away. Final answer. I think you trade Cream Hunt on the basis of the running back 10 finish. I'm going to try to get, work him into a deal and get somebody that I'm a little more confident in their workload and opportunities are more than 10 to 12 a game. Mike? I'm not going to trade for him.

60:04 ↗

Yeah. Hold or trade away? I think I would trade him away. I think I would try my best to do that. He is a difficult case, man. Yeah, I mean, it's all a matter of what you can get. You know, let's put it with rookie picks, okay? You can trade. What do you think you can get for Cream Hunt first? That's the first question. You can trade Cream Hunt in most leagues for... I don't know if he can get a late first for him. No, I don't think you can.

60:33 ↗

Yeah, I don't think you can. So in that case, rookie picks are, man, I'm not trading a second round pick for. If I had the 109, 110, 111, and I could trade them for cream hunt, I would do that.

60:43 ↗

So I'm more on the buys. Yeah, because he's a quality fantasy. You don't like the mystery box very much. I don't like the mystery box. It's a really good. That's a great analogy. My dynasty outlook is I want known commodities over possible upsides from mystery boxes. What's inside the mystery box? Oh, usually. Pichon Vaughn's in here. I don't get the LeBron card when I open the pack. And I know it can happen, but it doesn't usually. So I'm taking the known commodity in Cream Hunt, who I know is.

61:12 ↗

Awesome. You have used the strategy of cowardice to get yourself two championships. Yeah, that's right. Thank you, Mike. Very nice compliment. Really appreciate that. So not wanting the mystery box is also cowardice. Yes. Well, yeah. Leading two championships. It could be a boat. Yeah. Yeah, that goes a long ways.
