The TRUTH About Fantasy QBs in 2020, Part 2 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21

was not the issue. But I am currently inclined to just believe that narrative that he hurts Baker's ability to spread the ball around the way that it's best for the offense. We've seen nine games without him, 23 with those two on the field together. He's three points better without Beckham. It was part of that rookie year too where you didn't have him there. And he went and showed you, you know, red zone efficiency. You weren't forcing the football in. It's a worthwhile.

discussion, no question. And what Beckham has coming back from an ACL after declining seasons as well will be interesting. They did have the number one offensive line in all of football, the offseason moves that were hyped and talked about on the show. They came to fruition in building this team into a playoff.

contender. So give me another name that you guys want to discuss here. Golf was 18th with 26th rank consistency. Bridgewater was 19th with 27th consistency. The retiring Rivers 20th at the position. But there are names such as Carson Wins, Joe Burrow, Dak Prescott. That could be interesting to talk about. Yeah, Dak Prescott is someone we cannot forget about. We, you know, at the end of...

the year. He's far down the rankings. When you project out next year, you're going to have a hard time putting him like top three because we saw all these guys. We saw Kyler and we saw Josh Allen and we saw obviously you got Mahomes and Lamar was great the second half. But Dak was fantastic. He was consistency ranked quarterback seven above most of these guys we've been talking about. He was, you know, in weeks two, three and four. He was the quarterback one, four and one. And then he got injured in week five.

So it's, I think he's going to be able to do it in New York with the Jets? I believe Dak will be back with the Cowboys. And he should be an absolute lock for a top five quarterback. I think the defense is going to stink. His weapons are great. C.D. Lam's got another year under his belt in this offense. And, you know, assuming that he's healthy, which, you know, the money on the contract will probably tell us loud and clear.

I think Dak is someone you just can't forget about. And he will almost assuredly be a good value next year because of the injury this year. I was going to ask you, do you think he goes past six, seventh round, eighth round? I think that Dak is primed to be drafted right in that Josh Allen spot of last year. I mean, we're still really a long ways away, but I get the feeling that Dak Prescott is going to be a fantasy footballer darling come the draft season.

Yeah, and it's hard to talk about Joe. I will be all. If he's back in Dallas, I will be all in on him. I'm with Jason, that he has top five potential. We've never seen him be bat for fantasy football. And you've got to be excited about Blake Jarwin's, you know, triumphant return. Yeah, who cares about C.D. Lamb? Imagine week two and four when, when Dak Prescott was the number one overall quarterback and he didn't have his best weapon.

Joe Burrow, just quick passing thoughts on him. I mean, it was, we didn't get a C very much. But I think we were all impressed with the way he competed on a regular basis in a tough division. T. Higgins looks like he has a bright future. Yeah, I think 30th ranked offensive line. But the story of Joe Burrow is really going to be the multi-year recovery situation. Yeah.

for the torn ACL, MCL, PCL. All the Ls are down, man. The medical term for what happened is shredded knee. Right. And it sucks. And it might be a while till we see. It may make it hard to project some of their passing weapons next year. But bright future for T. Higgins, I think a bright future for Joe Burrow, but a tougher place to get it done. You know what I mean? It's almost the... Sure. It's like Stafford, right, in Detroit. And you're like, well, you know,

Maybe you could have been luckier to be drafted to a different franchise or a different opportunity, but I think we all like Borough talent-wise. Talent-wise, but with the recovery of the knee, I think he can come back from it, but he won't be on my draft board. I can't imagine that Burrough, especially the first half of next year, is close to the player that he will be. He won't be 100% halfway through next year. I will not take him off my board. He's great.

But he'll be low on it. He'll be low on it. Okay. That's a big board. That's a big board. All right. Is this a three quarterback league? Great. Joe Burrow. I believe Jason already has him on his dynasty team, right? He's just tucked away in the recovery room part of your team. Yes, exactly. The IR. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, that'll do it for today's episode of the podcast. More truth episodes.

across a number of positions. Brooks, what's our next position that we're going to break down? Getting into the running backs. Oh, yeah. Okay. So that'll be fun. Anything else that we need to cover today? You guys got anything on your mind? Jason, how are you doing? What shirt are you wearing today? I know it's YouTube, but it's a bright shirt. A bright Nike shirt. My man.

All right, that's pretty nice. That's pretty nice. All right, that'll do it for today's episode. Thank you for tuning and supporting the podcast.
