Of yes. It's kind of like I was saying just a minute ago. To be top five at tight end, if you're talking four and five, those two positions, it's a matter of who. Who caught the most touchdowns? And I think, you know, if you're taking Antonio Brown all his touchdowns away, this is a guy who can break away, have long touchdowns in an offense that usually scores a lot. So, Vance McDonald has that potential. This would be the type of guy. So fantasy football calculators got him going.

55:44 ↗

at the 7-12, almost eighth round. So there you're, you know, what are you giving up? Probably not. I'm giving up. No, I would do that. But if you're in on the top five upside, then I'm okay with that price. Yeah, I mean, I'm going to be on the clock. I'm going to say, do I want to take the shot at Vance McDonald here? The top tight ends are gone, or do I want to take Emmanuel Sanders? Maybe he gets healthy, but I would rather try to fill a role where I go, I'm confident that he.

56:11 ↗

Even if he's not great and just unbelievable next year, he takes a step up from where he was last year because of the departure of the targets that have left, specifically Jesse James. Yeah, it's definitely interesting. Mike may be dancing all season long. Maybe Jason will be. I'll take my Vance dance. I will be. Would you do the Vance dance with Mike? Yeah, I'm securing myself. You can do it. You can definitely do it too, man.

56:39 ↗

Two man van stains. No room for a third though, right? Yeah. He's on my dynasty team. I was just going to say that the dance will have a little bit of remorse because I had to train. You'll be dancing, but then all my points will be going on. Kelsey, Ertz, Kittle, Howard, Engram, Henry, Ebron, Injoku, Cook, and McDonald. Vance McDonald. I do want to get into the mailbag. You got time for a couple questions. Mike, you got them pipes ready?

57:09 ↗

Yep. Mailbag. Bag or bag. Very nice. Very nice. You got a question. Go to the website. Fantasy Footballers.com. Click the submit a question button. You can also leave us a voicemail. 302-464 TFFB. Keep them brief into the point. And we will put them on the show. Brian in Charlotte, North Carolina. So my redraft league, if you win the championship, and he did, you get to choose what spot you pick in the draft order for the following year.

57:43 ↗

Everyone else draws out of a hat. We do a snake draft. Where should I draft this year? I tend to think number one overall. Do you guys agree? What do you think? Standard league, 10-man snake draft. Standard league. So generally speaking, the draft spot I like is the furthest I can get in the first round while still getting what I consider to be an elite running back. Now, maybe it's not the absolute top tier like.

58:12 ↗

Sequin or Zeke, but Barclay Elliott, Camara McCaffrey Gordon, I'm very, very comfortable having those guys as the first player off the board to be the foundation of my team. I mean, Todd Gurley is probably there for me, which would be six. In a 10-team league, do you change your thoughts at all with...

58:37 ↗

Maybe not wanting to drop as far down because you turn around quicker? No way, man. I want to be close to that turn. I'll get me some of that Zeus. That Travis Kelsey is my second pick. Some of that sweet Zeus. Travis Kelsey and a 10 teamer? Good night. I love it. Any thoughts on that, Jay? Where you want to go? Okay. So I know he's on your dynasty team, Jason. So you have the endowment effect is happening. I wish. I wish it was happening, man. I am not.

59:06 ↗

I am not bullish right now. He's on your super team, though. No, I do not have a super team. This is just a regular team that won the championship. Is he in your, is that five that I listed? Is it six with Todd Gurley for you? No. Okay. No, it's not. And that sucks. I didn't realize how much I liked Alvin Camara until I started climbing through the stats. In a standard league, a lot of the guys that, you know, the Camara, McCaffrey, and Sequin.

59:34 ↗

I mean, look, every reception they're gaining yards and getting a lot. But those guys are bumped so much higher in our minds because of their receptions. I mean, I would really want to grab Zik here. If Saquan happens to be everybody's 101, then I would grab the two. And, you know, I want, I want Z. Okay. All right. How about this? Jake and Buffalo, better keeper. Devante Adams in the second round or Joe Mixing in the third? PPR league. Oof. Devonte Adams in the second or?

60:02 ↗

Or Mixing in the third. It is a PPR league. It's mixing. The better value is, I guess it's mixing. I'll take Devante in the second round. Really? I will. Full PPR, most guaranteed, safest wide receiver? Yeah, I think he is safer than mixing. I think I will go that way. I think I will go that way. Adam in Quebec was explaining to... Oh, bonjour. Yeah, thank you. Very nice. Was explaining the draft to my French girlfriend, and she was like, Calamari?

60:32 ↗

And I was like, no, Kyla Murray. New nickname? Is that a new nickname? Calamari? No. Do you guys like Calamari? I love Calamari. But I like some Calamari. I was just going to say all Calamari is not created equal. I love all Kyler Murray. Yes. Calamari great. Calamari can be great. Can be rubbery and terrible if, I mean, only get Kalamari to a good place. I agree with you. I'm guessing Mike does not.

61:00 ↗

eat calomari because he doesn't eat fish and ocean things. The things that mean, we've been changing. You've seen that I'm in on that sashimi life. That's true. So it's possible that I need to reevaluate my calamari takes. Previously, they were very anti. What about your Calvin Murray takes? I'm very pro, Carla Murray. Your stats bearing out that way? Brad Evans just tweeted out the...

61:25 ↗

The prop bets on Carla Murray on the over under. Oh, my goodness. The yards? Yeah, let me try. Over under yardage. I saw something. I'm trying to try and pull it up. You're not going to say four. No. Four yards. No, I would take the over. I think it was like 3,100 yards and I would take the over. See, that makes so much more sense with my rankings compared to your guys. I believe Kyler's going to be in. Look, it's hard. Baker went out and here it goes. Over under.

61:53 ↗

Let's do it right here. Yeah. Over under 475 rushing yards. I'm going to pull up my stats. Yeah, I am too. So over under. Guys, I said I was going to talk to stats. Over under 475. I'll take the over, just barely. I've got the over. Whatever you say, Jason's got the over. 3,100 passing yards. Over. I'll take the over. 17 and a half passing touchdowns. Over. I'll take the over. That's what I said as well.

62:17 ↗

So apparently we are very, here's the truth. I guess we are. I would not take the over on the rushing yards. And I would not take the over on the passing touchdowns either as far as like confidence level to make a bet. The over on the passing yardage I would take for sure. I would, if I were in Vegas, I would be parling all three of these right now. Would you be wearing your cardinal shirt while you did it? No, you can't do that.

62:42 ↗

They've got to hide it. They try and charge you extra. Uh-huh. They try and bump him up. Right when he's done making the bet, he takes off his black overstress. Yes. I'm a guarder's fan. You never saw it coming. They said, wait, you took the over? Yeah, surprising. We definitely didn't see that coming. All right, let's move on. Pristine Day of the Day.
