Hey, this is Alan Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars, and you're listening to the Fantasy Footballers podcast. To the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in. Welcome to the show. You know, that didn't sound like David Johnson at the beginning of the episode. That wasn't David Johnson, so... That's why. That is why. That was the... The Target Monster.

The AR-15, Alan Robinson himself, joining us on the show today. Kind enough to provide an introduction to the show for you as well. And so you don't want to miss that interview. That is coming up here shortly. And it's a good one. Alan Robinson was one of those guys that just burst onto the scene last year. One of our favorite...

players coming out of his rookie season, which was marred a little bit by injury. He was Mike's My Guy last year. If we have another My Guy episode coming up here and you see who we're latching onto, well done, Mike. Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. Whoever Mike has is his my guys, we get on this show as an interview the next off season. Yeah, and while it was difficult to get Alan Robinson, we could probably get Jeremy Hill pretty easy. Oh.

I thought we were... Maybe not now. Sorry. We love you, Jeremy. Welcome and welcome to the fantasy footballers podcast. I'm Andy Holloway, joined by Jason Moore and Mike, the fantasy hitman, right? Yes. We are your tried and true year-round fantasy goodness that drops into your pocket. Your huckleberries, if you will. Were your huckleberries?

I don't know about that. I don't know if I want that as the officially trademark motto of the show. I'll be your Huckleberry? No. I was with you. No, I mean, I'm all about that movie. Oh, a movie reference that Andy actually gets. We did it America. That's one of my favorite movies. He sees two of us. Let me tell you this to start off. He's got one gun for each of us. And we've, that's another great line from that. We've got, uh...

We've got a great show ahead for you. We've got a lot of news in the fantasy world. We've got the Alan Robinson interview. We got a bunch of mailbag, which is, we picked out a bunch of great questions that we think applies to everybody. But to circle back to Tombstone. That's one of the great disappointments in my marriage. You want to hear that? Because Tombstone is one of my favorites. Let me just throw this out there. If there's a cowboy character to play in any video game, I play the cowboy character. This is factual information. I like...

Cowboy movies. Now, I'm not like a cowboy. I could, I would die on a ranch in like five days and like I couldn't do the cowboy thing. But there's something heroic about cowboys that I love. And so I love cowboy movies. Modern Westerns. I love modern westerns. Three, 10 to Yuma, those type of movies. So Tombstone's like one of my favorite movies ever, I've always loved it and I've always esteemed it almost at Jurassic Park levels. Whoa. Whoa. When I was dating. Oh, wow. Jurassic Park levels? Almost, I said. Okay. And when I was dating my.

wife now when she was my girlfriend back then i was so excited to show her tombstone because she had never she had never seen it and she fell asleep in the first third of the movie and just it almost was a deal breaker it was almost a deal breaker but luckily she loved drastic park oh okay so there's my story we're back uh i i have two quick questions for today

Before I get to that, I will tell you, you can find us on Twitter at the FF Ballers. We're going to be doing a lot of live streaming and things. So you want to connect to us on Twitter so you can know what's happening with the show. This is going to be a really fun summer. We've got a lot going on, and that's how we communicate a lot of different things. And so check us out on Twitter at the FFFballers. We're on the Fantasy Sports Network. We're also on YouTube where you can get the show after the show. And the website, of course, the Fantasyfootballers.com where you can get our brand new draft kit.

Pre-ordered up, it's good stuff. So two quick questions. Quick question number one, it's super important. In our dynasty league, Jason, who are you drafting with the number two pick? In a little pre-context, Mike has the number three pick. I have the third pick, and so Jason just made the move to get up to number two, and I said, you know, who are you going to draft?

This is a startup dynasty. And this is the rookie part of the draft. And in a very John Foxian-like move, Jason thinks he has some type of advantage over me by not sharing this information, this ridiculous information where he already knows who he's going to draft. I said, well, you can tell me, or I will bring it up on the show.

Because if we bring it up on the show, then he has to answer the question. You give me too much credit in thinking that I have some advantage over you. I didn't think I had an advantage over you. I just knew you wanted to know. And I enjoy bringing you pain and suffering. But because it's been asked on the show, and we will always give our personal information. Well, you care so much more about the Foot Clan than you do, Mike. Yes, I do. Here would be my top.

four rankings for the rookie dynasty draft in most formats. Ezekiel Elliott will go number one. I did trade up to the number two. I'm going to grab LaQuan Treadwell. I think long-term value. He's a touchdown type of receiver. That body style, he fits what Teddy Bridgewater can do. Over the coming years, I believe that Adrian Peterson will not.

He's not going to play forever. He will not play forever. And then number three, where you are drafting, Mike, I know you're between Cory Coleman and Josh Doxon. And I would go Doxon, even though I think he's going to have a worse year this year in a dynasty setup. You've got a long-term value. Pierre Garsohn's not going to be long for that team in years. Probably this will be his last one, and I think you're in a better situation. Whenever there's a tiebreaker, I go not Browns.

Yeah, whenever there's... That's fair. If hypothetically you're at number five, like I am in that draft, who's number five on your list? Is it Sterling Shepard? Is it Boyd? I am a big fan of those two guys. It would certainly be one of those two. It wouldn't be Derek Henry. It would certainly not be Derek. The bus. It wouldn't be Henry for me. All right. Question number two is this. Mike, I'll let you answer this one. Carson Wince, Sam Bradford, who has more fantasy points is here? Ooh.

Carson Wentz. I'm going to go Carson Wentz. Yeah, Sammy Diapers has, well, we're jumping into the news, so maybe we'll get to the, let's go to the news first. Yeah, that's what I'm leading into that, so. Breaking news. Whoa, breaking news? Sam Bradford is back at, is back with the Eagles. That's how you spin it. Oh, yeah. That's where you spin the wrong button. That was the breaking news this morning.

Sam Bradford has decided to report apparently $20 million. $20 million is enough reasons to play football for a living. You know, in all fairness. You were the first on the Sammy Baby. I was on Sammy Baby, but I don't blame him for coming in a little late because I think if the teammates were to see at day one the red eyes and the leftover tears, it would have, you know.

lowered their belief in him as their quarterback. So he had to wait until... He had to get his puffs on? Yeah, he had to wait until his swelling came down. So here's a different kind of dabbing. That's the eye dabbing. Here's my take on Bradford. I completely agree with the logic that him and his agent are presenting of he will not be given a fair chance throughout the entire year. Completely agree with that. It's totally true. However, you signed a guaranteed contract for guaranteed...

I think it's even $22 million. And the contract didn't say you can't draft a quarterback. You will get that money no matter what. It sucks that they have the future. They're in Carson Wentz. They gave up the sun and the moon and the stars to get Carson Wentz. So he's going to be the starting quarterback. However, what you have to do out there, you have to go put some good tape down so that you can either get traded or have another chance as a starter, not just a backup. I do believe they want.

to start the season with Bradford and let Carson wins have some time to mature. He's coming out of a, you know, not the greatest competition in college, too. So I think you want to let him adjust to the pro-level game. But I wonder if the Philadelphia fans who are often unrelenting will allow that to happen. Not much. It'll be over. I'll give you over under six games for Sam Bradford. That's a big number. I'm still going to take the over. I will take the over as well. I believe.

You believe what then? I believe Sam Bradford has a pretty good year. Plays most, if not all of the year because the division is weak. I believe the Eagles are in it as much as any other team in that division. And if they're in the running, they are not going to take him out to put wins in. So I believe Sammy Biscuits is a good enough play this year. Even from fantasy, I wouldn't draft him, but he'll certainly be an early streamer for me. I mean, because you really...

By saying that, saying you believe the Eagles are going to compete. I do. The situation in which she comes off the field is one where they are restless and they need to put in the rookie and they want to kind of change the look to the future. Or he gets hurt. All right, let's move on. Next bit of news, Seahawks have given third round pick, CJ Pro Seize, reps with the wide receivers. He's a former wide receiver at Notre Dame. Interesting. I think this is exactly what we said on the show, which is, look, they know how to utilize skill position players.

whether it is, Harvin for half a year, Tyler Lockett, they want to use players in unique ways and put them around Russell Wilson and let them do what they can do. And if you can put him in on the field as a wide receiver and have Thomas Rawls on the field, why not have more weapons on the field? But this does to me affirm what we believe, which is that ProCise isn't going to threaten Thomas Rawls for first and second down work. I don't see a situation where that happens.

at all. I can't really foresee one. Sands injury. Yeah, I can agree with that. To me, I really think that Pro Cise will, it might just be small, but I think that he will have his fantasy impact this season. I don't think we're a year in wait for Pro Cise. I think this year he will have at least a few games of note. Let me ask you this. If you had to decide between Pro Cise right now and

Bilal Powell as a fantasy draft pick, who would you actually choose in that situation? Because you've got Forte and Kyrie Robinson and Powell in New York, and now you've got Rawls, and you've got ProSise, you've got what Alex Collins? I'm going to go with Powell here for this reasoning of we've seen how the Jets want to use him. So either Ryan Fitzpatrick comes back and Powell will get some dump-offs or

It will be Gino Smith running the offense. There will be close to no rushing attack for the Jets because teams will know that Gino Smith stinks, and then Belal Powell will get on the field for dumpoffs. I want you to know how relieved I am in some degree that I'm no longer waiting with bated breath for Ryan Fitzpatrick to sign with New York the way I was when in one of our major leagues Brainer Marshall was going to be my potential keeper. Like I still obviously...

I am concerned about it. I believe Fitzpatrick will be back, which will help Marshall owners, help Decker owners. Your concern just shifts in your personal league from the re-signing of Ryan Fitzpatrick to the health of Thomas Rawls since he was kept in Brandon Marshall's place. But there's good news here, which also speaks to C.J. Pro Seis and his value. A doctor on rotoviz wrote up a good article kind of going over his exact injury and his recovery time table. Talking about Thomas Rawls.
