Fantasy Football 2018 - Free Agent Frenzy!

quite often next year. Do you change your opinion of Emmanuel Sanders now? Yeah. It's an arrow up for all the receiving options. Agreed. This was enough of an answer to the question of the quarterback in Denver. Like you're happy with this sign. It is for me. It is for me that Thomas's should be that back in one. I wouldn't be happy if I was a Broncos fan. This isn't like a guy that's going to take them to the Super Bowl or anything. But from a fantasy perspective, yeah. Heck yeah.

Okay, all right. Let's transition now. We've got to talk about your team now. Okay. This is going to be get old quick. No, it's not. It's going to be great. You bandwagoner. You don't get back on when this next quarterback leads us to the promised land. Sam Bradford, aka Sammy Biscuits, aka now Sandy Biscuits. He's out in the desert, a lot of sand out here.

Thanks for explaining the joke, Jason. You're welcome. Here for the people. The joke stood on its own. It probably needed a little help. Sandy Biscuits. One year deal for Sam Bradford. I rejoiced in the fact that Sam Bradford was, in fact, not Mike Glennon being signed by the Cardinals. And then moments later, Mike Glennon, yeah, that tweet did not age well. Moments later, Mike Glennon was signed by the Cardinals to be the backup to Sam Bradford. Okay, Sam Bradford.

71% completion rating in 2015, started last year on fire, injured the rest of the year, always injured, has had a couple of 16 games seasons. It's still only 30 years old, but this is a prove-it deal in Arizona, and they are trying to catch the Kurt Warner, Carson Palmer, lightning in a bottle, but will they? It 100% comes down to his health. I mean, he is a good...

quarterback. Like you said, he's only 30 years old. This was the best hope that was left when they signed Sam Bradford. I think it was a quality signing for the Arizona Cardinals. It's great news, I believe, for Larry Fitzgerald. If you want to talk fantasy, he needs over 93 receptions to hit that number two. And it...

Number two of all time. Number two of all time. And this is the type of quarterback with his accuracy that's going to be able to be perfect for Larry Fitzgerald. So it's just a matter of how many games does he play? If he plays 14, 15, 16 games, this is absolutely great. If you want to be hyped for Sam Bradford as a Cardinal fan, go watch week one of the Vikings versus Saints. If you want to be on the opposite.

Go watch the game where he came back. I think it was against the Bears. Mm-hmm. And that it's health. Everything is health for Sam Bradford. Yeah, I watched the highlight to that first. And let's be realistic. Let's be realistic. His health is not good. And I don't think he will play. Thanks. I don't think he'll play better or worse than your grammar. I do not believe he plays nine games. So I'm, I think he's going to play eight or less games and the Arizona Cardinals will be.

a hot dumpster fire this. What does it mean for their 2018 draft? Do they still draft a quarterback? I think Mike Glennon says that they don't draft. Oh, don't say that. Look, I don't want it, but I don't believe that they draft a rookie in the first draft. What Mike Glennon needs to say is I quit and then leave. Cardinals also released Tyrone Matthew. They also signed Andre Smith, former offensive tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals, who traded for Glenn, whose first name I.

I'm forgetting. Cordy? Cordy, thank you. I wasn't sure where you were going. I was about to say Corley a couple of times. All right, let's go to New York. It's better there. Is it? Is it? I thought we were going. It's not. Well, no, I thought we were going to the New York Giants. I don't know if it's better there either. Let's go to New York twice. Let's start with the Jets. Josh McCown, one-year deal. Teddy Bridgewater, one-year deal. Isaiah Crowell.

Three-year deal to take over that first and second down roll. Blah Powell is still there. I actually think this is good news for Isaiah Crowell. You know, he was two years ago, he was good with the Browns. Last year he was poor with the Browns, but he's still young. He's still capable enough. And this is a team that wants to run the ball. I mean, that's their desire. Todd Bowles is a defensive-minded coach. That's...

kind of how they've been set up. Matt Forte two years ago was pretty serviceable for fantasy and last year had health issues and he's going to come in and take over that role. I think this is a better situation. Crowell is in a better situation this year than he was last year. That's my belief. And because of his previous season's stinkiness, I think Crowell will be cheap this year. I actually don't agree. I think he's as, I think he's in just as bad of a situation.

I don't think there's a lot of touchdowns to be had there, and I think he's going to stink. The good news for fantasy football players is, like Crowell, the running back doesn't necessarily have to be that good to still give you some fantasy value. Yes, it's opportunity. What a sentence that Isaiah O'Reall can take to heart. He can take it to the bank. I mean, he doesn't care what I have to say. Yeah, I mean, the reality is Crowell last year was terrible. He was the RB 30.

in standard scoring, which is not good enough. I mean, you got some games out of him where you could get a start, but it's not good. But the reason why Crowell was especially bad was because you were drafting him in the second third round. Yeah, that's true. And if you got Crowell in the eighth, ninth round, you'd be like, okay, the RB 30 in the eighth, ninth round, that's fine. So do you like Isaiah Crowell more than the new running back of the other New York franchise? Jonathan Stewart. Yep. Stewart will run behind Nate Solder.

Who has signed a four-year deal. Jonathan Stewart signed a two-year $6.9 million deal. Why? Why is such a good question? I just really want to congratulate Jonathan Stewart and his agent. You did it. You did it. That's impressive. You know somebody. Unbelievable. He's a good guy. Nice fellow. Says nothing to do with that. Jonathan Stewart. What is he next year?

People want to know. Where are you drafting him? Not. You're not drafting him. He's going to be worth a pick and right around where Carlos is going. Oh, no. Yes. Give me hard. Hide for sure. See, I still believe that this is a team that could go out and draft a high profile rookie running back. Like San Juan Barclay number two? Yeah, I mean, they could guys. They might. Okay. Where do we want to go now? Let's go to Jacksonville. They signed Andrew Norwell.

Out of the clutches of the New York Giants, offensive guard. This is good news for, well, this is good news for Blake Bortles is good news for Fournette. It's especially good for Fournet. This was the number one overall, pass blocking guard, according to Pro Football Focus. Wow, he was number one? Number one pass blocker. Ended up number three overall when you combine run and pass blocking. It's a great signing. The Jags, they have an interesting wide receiving core.

They let Alan Robinson go. We talked about Robinson to Chicago. They signed Marcus Lee to a four-year $38 million deal. They signed Dante Moncrief to a one-year $9.6 million deal. We got breaking news. Oh, yay. Hit it. Hit it. Maybe. Breaking news. Sorry, I just found out that the Vikings have traded for quarterback Trevor Simeon. There you go. Okay. What did they give up a seven-throne pick? Don't know yet.

I bet it was a seventh round pick. It was a case of Snickers bars. Full case. Full case. But they're not going to transport them in a refrigerated truck. No. If they show up melted, that's on you. Yeah. Good trade, though. Ensure your package. Good trade for Denver. If it was a seventh round pick, that's a great trade for the Denver Broncos. All right. So back to Jacksonville. Dante Moncrief got paid a good amount of money to come in and play one year in Jacksonville. Yes. I think there's been a lot of.

Head scratching. You know, you look at what you have in D.D. Westbrook and what you have in Keel and Cole and what you saw from him last year, Marquis Lee and Company. Part of me says, why didn't you want the premier athlete of Alan Robinson? This is purely from a distance, right? Versus a Lee and Moncrief when you already have depth at the position. So what can these guys be? I mean, I'm not, I don't even know who to draft. I mean, it's Marquis Lee and company.

But is Didi going to be better than Marquis Lee in this offense? I lean no. Okay. But what is Leah? Three? Two, three fringe. Marquis Lee's a good wide receiver. He was drafted. This is a long time ago. So I kind of hate to go back to it. But he was drafted in front of Alan Robinson. He just has been a very injury plagued his entire career. So it's actually kind of interesting that they decided to say, okay, well, this guy had one major injury.

and Al Robinson. So we'll go with the guy who we've had who's been hurt the entire time we've had him in Marquisley. The Moncrief signing is, is the bigger head scratcher. I'm a Dante Moncrief truther.

But even I said, this is weird. Why would, why bring him in for almost $10 million? Well, that's a good point. First of all, is that they're paying up for him. This isn't a freebie contract where they're just adding depth. I believe that they will end up parting ways from Alan Hearns. Agreed. If you look at Hearns snap percentage and his utilization.

With the pieces that are going to get lost here, I think Moncrief is the most intriguing piece for me. I think that, you know, you saw Keel and Cole with the ability every now and then to break out for those long bombs. And Dante Moncrief is fast and Blake Borrell's has a strong arm, if nothing else. And so I'm intrigued here. I'm intrigued. Real strong chin. For Dante Moncrief, he's the type of guy. I got a snake, man.

that I would love right now in best ball leagues because I think he's going to be, you know, a super late. The last round. The last round type guy. And he could end up with, you know, those Alan Hearns type, you know, 7-8 touchdown. Are we going to blitz some of the rest of these signings? Paul Richardson, five-year, $40 million deal to the Redskins will be out wide with Josh Doxon and Jameson Crowder? I don't like it. Really? You don't like it. I hate it. Mike, Paul Richardson, I like it. He will be a wide receiver. Do you like him or Docson more?

I would still say Doxon. Okay. Just touchdown upside. Exactly. That tells a lot. How high is Doxon? The. Exactly. Baltimore. Let's make a big splash in the wide receiver department. They needed to. I feel like this is the... We kept joking in the office. This is a little insight to the fantasy footballers. We kept joking every single time that another wide receiver was signed, it was just Baltimore going, oh, shoot!

Who's next day? This is Ozzie Newsom, their GM. It's like they're running after these guys and failing. He's climbed up the proverbial ladder, and he's jumping off to belly flop into this pool of wide receivers.

There ain't no water in the pool. It's like you're trying to go crowd surfing. Yeah. Oh, someone's going to catch me. Well, John Brown caught him. No, that's someone is Ryan Grant. Holy moly. So Ryan Grant signed a four-year $29 million deal. What? Some of you may be saying things like who's Ryan Grant. Who's Ryan Grant? What? No, Ryan Grant is a- He's a good player. Is he? He's not this good.

And I'm not going good. I'm going. He's fine. John Brown and Ryan Grant are your new starting wide receivers. They've already, they cut Jeremy Macklin today. Wallace is gone. And this is what you got. Ryan Grant. Okay. I mean, all congratulations. I'm defuddled. I am taking back from Jonathan Stewart because I can't, I can't split these. I mean, the agency for Ryan Grant.

Who doggie? You got $29 million for a guy who's got a, he's coming into his fifth year. He's got a career total of 84 receptions. That was last year, right? What? I'm joking. The 84 recepts is. No, 45, which was his career high. I saw on Twitter that he has never had a game with 90 yards. 29 million.

$345,000 per lifetime reception. I mean, we got to talk to this agent. Good on you, Ryan Grant. You interview well. You interview well. So let's actually diagnose. Somebody catches the ball. This is the NFL. Is Ryan Grant the guy you want in Baltimore? I want him more than Brashad Perryman. Mike, you say follow the money. Oh, if you want a Baltimore wide receiver, yes, sure. Certainly signed Ryan Grant.
