OBJ Bombshell + Free Agent Frenzy!

Yes, you have a giant Beckham-shaped hole in your offense. Oh, no you don't. Evan Ingram shaped. It plugged. That hole does not exist and it goes to Evan Engram. My reign of terror, it continues. Mike is having a good dynasty. Evan Ingram is the major beneficiary in this offense, but should Dynasty Keeper League owners be looking at Sterling Shepard, be looking at Russell Shepard, be looking at, no.

Corey Coleman, who is tendered at a first round value today for some reason. Who was going to go take him at a different value? Well, that's where there's a dispute because it was reported he got a first round tender. We're talking about Cory Coleman. Then Ian Rappaport came in and said it was an original round tender, which is a first rounder. But then there's these weird logistics of, for example, I'll talk about Josh Gordon, where beat reporters are breaking down.

The Patriots gave Josh Gordon an original round tender, which would be a second round, because he was a second round supplemental guy. But because they classified it as an original round, the compensation that the Patriots would get if somebody actually signed Josh Gordon would only be a third round pick. So I'm not exactly sure what that means for Cory Coleman. But to answer your point, who was going to come and get Corey Coleman? Nobody. I am baffled that they put this tender on it. But he was...

The Giants are his third team, right? Yes, if you count the bills. And the irony is, let me read you the 2017 Cleveland Brown's offense. Deshone Kaiser, Isaiah Crowell, Corey Coleman, Rashad Higgins, David Injoku, that was the year he was drafted, right? 2017. Now Mayfield, Chubb, Hunt, OBJ, Landry, Calloway, and Joku. And also, to me, I want to get your guys' take because I don't think we've even talked about this. Nick Chubb gets a bump.

For me, he goes up just because of off. I don't care how much they're going to be throwing. He's going to be on a much better offense. You get those, he's the goal line back and those goal line opportunities have now gone up. Yeah, I mean, when you look at the great running backs, right, look at Todd Gurley.

Great offense. Alvin Camara, great offense. Lev Bell of years past was on a great office. Look at the difference when David Johnson was number one. It was touchdowns. When Todd Gurley's offense sucked, Todd Gurley sucked. When David Johnson's offense sucked, David Johnson sucked. Yeah, this is great news for Chubb. Good for Hunt when Hunt gets involved. You know, it's great. I do think Sterling Shepard to get back to the giant side of the ball. I think he's going to be he'll definitely get a bump up. He averages about two more points fantasy wise.

uh in the games that odal beckham's been out now he he can't step up i think i think sterling shepherd is a fantastic fantastic receiver but he's not he can't step up into that role he can't be a one for fantasy but i think he'll be a solid he may have no choice two and a half he uh two and a half star two and a half we all agree this the foundation for this super team was set by hugh jackson though right oh totally all just like the ramp was set by fisher

All right, I've got a lot to talk about here before we jump into the full free agent frenzy and talk about the rest of the big time deals. This show may last forever. That's okay. After today's show, you want to keep listening because Brooks has put together a very special montage for show 700 to celebrate the 700 different nicknames or so that we have come up with on accident over the course of 700 shows. After the episode.

There's what? How long is it, Brooks? About five minutes? Yeah, about five, six minutes. All right, there's a little montage afterwards he put together. It's really fun. It's pretty funny. And so you can tune in on YouTube. It might be better to watch it. It's pretty funny. That's what I was going to say. Definitely check that out on YouTube because you get to see a lot there. It's really fun. Before we leave the discussion, Andy, I want to hear you work through real quick. Where is Evan Angram in the tight end?

Packing order. Yeah, because you want to hear somebody else say it out of that. Yeah, well, Mike and I did it at lunch. So I want to hear you do the thought experiment. Firmly ahead of him, Zach Ertz, firmly ahead of him, Travis Kelsey. Sure. I would say I am more confident in George Kittle. Yes. That's the end. Yeah, that's where we got. That's where we got. That's where we got.

He's in a tier. Kevin is Ingramham and eggs. He's in a tier with other people, O.J. Howard, Eric Ebron and some others that, you know, if you want to argue he's not number four, that's absolutely fine. I think you could make the argument that he's not. And the basis for that argument would simply be the implosion of the New York Giants as a whole. If Eli Manning begins the season.

And this is full rebuild. And in week three, they're moving in a youngster. That's a huge problem for Evan Ingram. That's where I would say you're holding your breath. Because as it stands now, if Eli's the quarterback for the season, Everton Ingram's probably their leading receiver at the end of the season. Him or Barclay. Barkley going to catch eight passes a game. Sir Charles? All right. YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballer. Subscribe. Click the bell.

All right, two things. First of all, free agent frenzy. The news encompasses everything on today's show. So we want to give a shout out to the sleeper app. You probably, if you have it on your phone, your watch, you probably heard it. Some blowing up. Something happened every two seconds. Check out the sleeper app.

uh second of all i don't feel like i feel like love dinners is one of those things that when you say it you you probably should like explain it no every time no my wife or never say never let it let it be out there in the ether man really love dinners yeah we love each other and we talk and we cook a nice dinner together all right now we understand just making sure all right levion bell

The bell tolls for the... The bell toll was expensive, Levion. Yeah. I feel like, look, lots of rumors out there about where he could go, potential destinations, the Ravens, the 49ers, the Raiders. It ended up that the New York Jets, they came a call in. Four years, $52.5 million. He joins Sam Darnold, Robbie Anderson, Quincy and Nunewa, Jameson, Crowder.

It's an interesting team. Isaiah Crowell, Elijah McGuire in the backfield. If you had hopes for somebody else, you know, at the running back position in a dynasty league, I'm sorry. But it's Lev Bell's job. It is a very interesting team. I make the joke every year. They compete to be second behind New England. But they have the makings of, look, it's going to come down to a step forward for Sam Darnold. I think that's actually what's going to.

bring the top 10 type of value to levy on bill it's going to be does he catch enough passes from darno does the offense move enough to where he's scoring touchdowns do you guys agree with that i mean i have him uh my early top 10 before he had a home i had him at ninth overall and i guess i haven't really sat down to say hey do i move him based on the jets placement but i like him there i think nine is about where i want him i'm comfortable uh and again that's nine not the ninth running back but ninth overall pick what do you think guys

Yeah, he belongs there. He was not in my top 10. I wasn't going to have him be in my top 10 prior to a landing spot. But this is a, I believe, a pretty good landing spot. We've seen Isaiah Crowell and stints, you know, be able to have success. Now, Adam Gase is, you can argue he could be a problem because of the fact that he does stupid things that.

most people with the brain disagree with. However, he has had running back success. Massive fantasy running back success. Yeah, for all, I mean, Kenyon Drake has had success under him. Frank Gore continued, you know, to do work. And so with this level of money, that's what we always talk about is like, what's the investment in the player? They haven't invested so much capital that they will give him the rock over 300 times. He's, he'll get what, 280 or so carries.

I can't even count the number of receptions he's going to have. Darnold checking down to him. I think it's a really nice fit. Darnold will throw the ball to him a lot, and I think he's going to help Darnold. So he'll be probably in my top five running backs. I just think there's too much work, too much talent. But, you know, do I see him with the potential to have...

you know, number one, like the best season? No, I don't think he can do that. I don't think the offense is going to score enough points. I agree. The volume will completely be there. My biggest question for Levium Bell as he switched teams was how good would the offensive line actually be? And at least according to pro football focus, they're heading out of the season rankings. The Jets were 25 in terms of offensive line power rankings. Let's see if they can

shore that up. But Levi-on-Bel has a very unique running style. Will it translate? Will it work? With a bad O-line? With a bad O-line. And that's just me playing devil's advocate over here because opportunity is everything in fantasy football, and Levy and Bell is going to get a ton of it. In 2017, Bell led the league with 321 carries. The leading rusher last season was Zeke with 304.

Behind him was 261, so this is not the same NFL Bell left, you could argue, with just the increase in passing numbers, but he should be able to get enough from Darnell out of the backfield to be in top 10 consideration. It's not, you know, there was a push by the 49ers reportedly. Yeah, allegedly. Multiple sources have said that. And what does that say to you about Jerich McKinnon?

Matt Berita, the confidence level of Kyle Shanahan in the return. Because we just talked about Jerry McKinnon. And I asked you, I said, hey, what's the difference in your hype now for Jerich McKinnon? And a year ago, and you said there wasn't a really big difference, but we did point out, look, you're coming off the ACL, and then you didn't know what you had in Burita. But does this, does that news affect you? It doesn't affect me because they didn't get it. It does affect me.
