To the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore.

and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. The Fantasy Footballers Podcast Thursday, January 27th. Part two of the truth episodes on running backs. Jason Moore is here. Excited to be here. Jay Gray is angry to be here. I'm Andy Holloway, and we have Al Borland in the house today. What's up for Clayett? And the Borgogan is here in studio.

Hello. And that was going to work. You're going to need to work on that. On the intro, on the welcome. That was friendly. Yellow. He comes from a, I mean, comes from Georgia. They're friendly down there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Friendly down in the south? Yeah. He's got a lot of yalls. He does. He's never going to lose the yalls, I don't think. No, it's part of who he is. And we don't do a lot to kind of.

institute strong English language skills around here. I'm doing my best to tear those abilities down. So Mike should be back with us on our next episode. We'll be digging into some of the very interesting running back names on today's show, Jason. Yeah, I mean, this is really where it gets very interesting to look at not necessarily the top.

end running backs, but the ones that really mattered and maybe they were better in the second half of the year or got off to a strong start and disappeared. And we need to know, like, what is the truth of their outlook going forward? Yeah, because we're going to have a, you know, new set of rankings before you know it heading into 2022. And we'll figure out the truth today. We did get some Sean Payton news. That's really the big headline newswise for.

Fantasy players. Sean Payton's going to step away, temporarily, perhaps. I listened live to almost all of his 90-minute press conference, which was very different. It's a bit long. He started it off by saying, like, I'm going to take everybody's questions. I'm going to be here a while. And I was like,

Really? Is that true? Yeah, that's what he said. And he stuck to that. He was there for a long while, shared a lot of stories, really made the moment about himself. We will be losing the Sean Peyton loves Tayson Hill, and so Tayson Hill will get playing time narrative. We're losing the Sean Peyton anything narrative as he has gone, other than the Sean Peyton rumors to other teams, which won't happen this year. But he literally said in his press conference, he said, I'm not, I don't like the word retire.

And I'll be honest with you. Coaching is probably in my future. So, like, he's going to come back coaching. And teams will offer, I mean, he's, you know. He's under contract with the Saints through 2024. So if he was to return, you would likely get a situation. The best one I can think of is the Grunkowski situation, where he was under contract with the Patriots, retired for a year to avoid a trade to the Lions. And then came back and they worked on kind of a.

I remember what the pick was, but it wasn't a lot to get him to Tampa Bay. And I think the same thing would happen. A lot of rumors about Dallas, right? And maybe a year from now. A lot of hopes about Arizona. From you. Yeah. So there was another thing that happened during the Weekends games that we didn't bring up. And I just didn't know if you saw it or had an opinion on it. Well, let's hear. But did you see the whole champagne thing with Patrick Mahomes' wife?

No, but I can't wait to hear. So I want you to see this live here. So I sent it to you just now. You can take a look at it. His wife was up in a suite and they won the game and she's busting open champagne. Okay. I'm seeing it. And then the champagne, she just douses the crowd beneath her.

Just pouring champagne on it. Congratulations, everyone. You've been champagne by Patrick Mahomes' wife. So is this? This is controversial because people think that this is like a very rude thing to have done, right? Like, you know, you're in the locker room. You get champagne on you. You take a quick shower. You're done. These people, they're in the cold. They're doused to champagne. They've got to walk back to their cars. Do you think this is appropriate? I do. I think this is appropriate. Who hasn't had...

beer accidentally spilled on them every game you go to. Here, you're all celebrating. That's how I kind of feel. Everyone's going nuts. And then afterwards, you might be upset for a second. You might be like, oh my gosh, what, oh, oh, yeah. But what about, I mean, there had to have been a handful of Bill's fans down there. Oh, good. That's what you get. Not exactly controversial to you. No.

Made too much of it. I think that's a lot of fun. Real quick, before we move on from Sean Peyton, what effect does this have on Alvin Camero? One of the best running backs. We talked about him last episode because I do think this signals a tear down, if you will. They were already on their way down without Drew Brees. They didn't make the playoffs. You dealt with Michael Thomas's injury and really an anemic offense entirely. But without James, his injury, without Tassum, his injury.

Without head coach, you're going to have a bad offense next year. That is a guarantee from me. Terrible cap situation. They will be an awful offense next year. And we just talked about on last episode the value of drafting players with great quarterbacks who are on winning teams. Yeah, Alvin Camara is going to be a difficult call because his utilization.

and the way that they were dependent on him. Like that goes out the window. You just don't know what the next play caller is going to bring to the table. Like you said, and you're in a division where it's just hard to see that future with the existing players working out. And so then you talk about tear down and you talk about an elite runner, right? I mean, Alvin Camara is great. He's under contract. I mean...

It scares me. Yeah, I mean, I guess it's too early to know and prognosticate, but it is a good reminder that soon in a month or two when all the coaching changes have happened, we will have a very important offseason episode on the coaching changes update and what the outlook is going for because, you know, you're listening right now this time of year, which means you're an avid fantasy football player.

You know the impact that these coaches make on these teams. And we'll talk all about, you know, Ben McAdoo. Do we have to? Well, we don't have to now, but we will then. What's crazy is you have a division now with, and you brought this up, Matt Ruhl. The fan sentiment around Matt Ruhl, who might bring in Ben McAdoo, it's not great. And then you have Tom Brady, who if he retires, which could happen.

Sounds, he's definitely got people scared. Do you have, is Matt Ryan the best quarterback in the division? No. He is, though. If Brady retires, he is. I. Name a Panther. Name a saint. Uh, okay. Name a buccaneer, not named Tom Brady. That's easy. I know that this will sound hot takey. I don't think it is. If you say Sam Darnold. No, I'm not going to say Sam Donald. I really, truly.

liked Kyle Trask, who was the rookie last year, who was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who just spent a year behind Tom Brady. He's not better than Matt Ryan. At this stage in their career, well, put it this way. If I was a GM and I had to take one of those two guys, I would take Kyle Trask over. That's lunacy. I'm building for the future. Yeah, but that is. What does Matt Ryan do for you? He does something that Kyle Trask has never done, which is some stability and moves the ball. And like, we just don't know what Trask is.

Sure. You liked him, but... He could be nothing. All right. It's a weird division, is all I'm saying. Like, anybody from that division, if Brady walks away, anybody could be on top of it. Genuinely, next year. All right, let's remind the listeners, you can find us on Twitter at the FF Ballers. Follow Jason at Jason FFL. Mike is at FF Hitman. I'm at Andy Holloway. We're on YouTube.

And we are not far from Super Bowl Sunday. And the UDK pre-sale begins on Super Bowl Sunday. Yeah, I've seen a lot of questions from people about what are the top tips for a dynasty player in their first full off season. And a lot of that is going to be looking at.

rookie profiles and getting used to the names before the NFL draft. We'll have a lot of the information. If you get the UDK Plus on Super Bowl Sunday, that will already on that day come out with the dynasty pass. And so you'll have access to really start looking into next year's players today. Yeah, team needs. What are these teams going to be looking for in the draft? The fallout of free agency, the NFL draft, it's significant. Dep charts.

long-term dynasty value of players. You saw last year. We were all projecting, oh, Atlanta's going to end up with a running back or Miami's going to end up with a running back. Those teams didn't. You were surprised with the James Robinson news with Travis E.TN. And so you have different values that change really. And you have to shoot your shot. I mean, we're going to have lots of takes on this show where it's like, hey, do you believe in this guy long term? But that's going to help your research. And that's coming very, very soon. Let's get into the truth.

You want answers? I think I'm entitled. You want answers. I want the truth. You can't handle the truth. The Saints are moving to Kevin James as their new head coach, by the way. Did you know that? I did. I did not know. That is breaking games. He has a tremendous amount of experience. Playing Sean Payton. Yeah. No, that's, that's great. Looks just like him.

I couldn't get past. If you don't know what we're talking about, Kevin James played, and this is the... Plays. Right. This is the phenomenal actor who brought you Paul Blart. Right. King of Queens. I do like him, but he played Sean Payton in a Netflix movie that just came out. And I... Have you watched it? No. No, I haven't. Because of the resemblance issue. I couldn't get past.
