Eating in the words. Right. You're not. Yeah. Yeah. See me. Yeah. I I I feel see feel seen. Yeah, it's just there's there's send so many things video. Of you reading your article. Yes. Read me your words. Oh, no. Somebody's gonna do that now. Oh, my bad. I'm not the one always going. I check, a couple layers left. Alright. Quick question of the day. What is one dream draft pick you want to happen during the NFL draft? Anything you want for whatever reason you want? So just a dream situation. I mine's the layup. You want me to go first? Sure. All of ours is yours, Mike. Is but it's selfish. And yet, it's for everyone. It's the selfish thing, but it's the right. Yes. Yeah. It is. Sometimes it's it's okay to be selfish. It is okay. It is absolutely Marvin Harrison Junior to the Arizona Cardinals. Marv is gonna go early in the draft. There aren't very many teams unless the team moves up and and shocks us, but there are not many situations where there's a franchise quarterback This could he can be the number 1. It can be a great offense, and it just it works out for everybody. Works out for Cardinal fans. It works out for fantasy football fans. Works out for the people who have the 101 in rookie drafts and once in single quarterback where you don't have the situation that the patriots take him And then the Cardinals take Malik neighbors and you go, oh, no. It's another Clyde versus Johnny Taylor situation. So let's just let this happen. Let us have this. Just just play it by the go chalk. Yeah. The way that CJ Stroud just spoke from the podium yesterday about Marvin Harrison. I don't know if you guys saw that. I did not. Yeah. I I did watch it. He basically just said at the end, he's like, the teams at the top just be smart. Like, dumb. Don't be dumb. Don't be dumb. Like, he's clearly the best wide receiver. You know, the so, yeah, Cardinal's fans as we 3 are want him, but it makes sense. I mean, they don't have a wide
Brief as well as we can. Alright. Unless the, unless Deuceers Alley has any more news for us, do is there anything back there we need to know about? No, sir. Okay. We'll jump into the running backs. Running backs. See? Told you. We did we jumped in. Efficient. Now we're into the running backs because of, that guy said so. Alright. Wide receivers last week, running backs this week, and very excited to talk about these guys. There there's some very interesting decisions to be made, and it's easy, I think, when you're talking about Dynasty startup drafts, dynasty rosters to, you know, draw a pretty clear line of, you know, the age situation at running back. Yeah. You everybody wants a young Bruce Hall, Bijan Robinson aged superstar. However, there aren't a lot of them. There there just aren't. And there is a lot of trust in, I guess you'd call elder statesman or proven veterans such as, you know, James Conner, right, and Raheem Moster with 20 touchdowns last year. And and so the the trust we saw in David Montgomery in the beginning of the year over Jamere Gibbs. And so, you know, it is interesting in redraft, I think, when you look at that age situation. You know, I don't pay too close of attention to that in a redraft format. I don't know if you guys are any different. I mean, I I pay attention because the the age cliff, it it happens. Like, James Conner James Conner is the first guy we're gonna talk about here at number 20, who he is tied for 20th. He has been a a true anomaly of just throughout his entire life, his story from
Offense here. You want pieces of it. Jane Reid trying to trade for Jane Reid right now in Dynasty is gonna be extremely difficult, and there is still a chance that he just that was kind of the the most efficient and the best that you'll ever see Jane Reed. He'll be a good player, but maybe he never really comes through for for Dynasty. So if if I'm if I'm going after a Green Bay Packer, it's probably Dobbs or Dontavion Wicks just because they're cheaper. And I'd I I really don't know who is going to emerge. I I think that Christian Watson is from a is the most talented, the highest ceiling should he be able to become a more refined wide receiver and if he can ever have a healthy hamstring. Yeah. I mean, that's the issue. I I I think even as an unrefined receiver, he can get it done if he can just get on the field and stay there. He dealt with his hamstring issues. And and to be to be fair, that is an issue. I know we don't try to qualify guys as injury prone, but this is a human being guy is a problem. That from basically pee wee, you know, football all the way. He's dealt with injuries his entire career. That being said Is he at the top of your list? At the top of my list. It goes Christian Watts and Jaden Reed for sealing. Dobbs, wicks. Be because of sealing, and I'm not gonna just predict injury. Any of these guys could get injured next year. If they're all on the field, I believe Christian Watson is the best one. To me, he's the trade for target because Watson? Christian Watson. I I think people are done with him. There are plenty of people out there at least that are done with him, and it might just be the people who have had him that are the most sick of him. Like, yeah. I'll take I'll take anything for this. He has been extremely touchdown dependent in the games that he was valuable for your fantasy team. That has been and I'm It's also true. And it can be good and it can be bad. And and, obviously, he's very capable of getting into the end zone and making big plays. So it'll be fascinating to watch. I think we all believe that Green Bay is gonna have a lot of fantasy value, stability at the coach, quarterback position. It'll be
Compete anymore. Do I sell? Mhmm. I have no idea. Yeah. I mean because you've never been there. That's that's what we're saying here. I mean, that's the question says So our guys dynasty my dynasty team always competes. So we our, our our Dino league has been what are we at? 8 years, 9? Somewhere around there. And Andy's team has never been in rebuild mode ever. I have torn down to the knobs once. I've never torn down to the knobs. I I had 1 year where I traded a couple pieces to get younger. But that that that was the You began a process. Yeah. But, like, you you did. Yeah. But it was 1 year. But it's still it's That's a teardown. You can rebuild over 1 year. So You made the decision at one point in time. I remember it because you said it out loud. You said, I can't win the championship this year. Mhmm. I'm going to forego a playoff run. You gave up playoffs 1 year I and you rebuilt. I mean, you have Bijan and Breeze Hall. You don't get those guys without that approach. Yeah. And and I will say that that so I guess the answer to this question when we're not just joking and we're saying, like, you know, for me, when did that process exist? It was midseason, you know, because, you know, I think if you know before the season that, like, your team just flat can't compete, you're not asking this question. This is a question that you already know. Yeah. You already know. You're like, you've got nothing. Nobody wants to trade for any of your assets. You're gonna be in it for the long haul. I think, primarily, most dynasty managers might not know when. And for me, in my experience, the only time that I did make that decision was when it looked like the playoffs aren't gonna happen for me this year. And so because of that, it's like, I'm I'm out of the running. Let me focus now shift before
Even who the Foot Clan thought was gonna bounce back the most. The only thing I wanted to know was how low is the percentage gonna be on Austin Eckler. And this was way more than I thought. Sway the votes. See if you can make a I don't know what your opinion is on these four names. So here's the name that I was really interested in. Did a bunch of research on. Cooper Kupp was the name I was curious about. He's been awesome. He he was injured last year. He played some games without Cooper Kupp last year. So it was like, I remember him Matthew Stafford. Without Matthew Stafford. He did play several games without himself. That's that's true. He missed he missed a handful of games. But I wanted to know just the truth. I genuinely was like, did he have a really bad season? Did he have a really good season? What's the actual legitimate truth? He had 10 games last season total where he played 95% of snaps or more. I'm taking out games that Matthew Stafford did not play, and I'm taking out games that, Cooper Kupp was injured in and didn't really So how many how many did he play with Stafford at 95%? With Stafford at 95 was 10 full games. Lot of games. It's that's the majority of the season. And his 17 game pace over those 10 games specifically would be Yeah. A 147 targets for 95 receptions, 1152 yards, and 8 and a half touchdowns. That's not bad. That is not That's not wide receiver 1. That is not a wide receiver 1, let alone the wide receiver 1. In fact, that is 12.7 half PPR points per game. That would have basically been identical to what Amari Cooper did last year as the wide receiver 16 in in points per game. So given the age, the rise of Pukanakua and the obvious downturn in production. I don't think Cooper Kupp is irrelevant. I've drafted him plenty in, like, the 4th round when he's there in best ball, But he's certainly done being the I don't think there's a bounce back to where he goes to 2022.
