Fantasy Football - Favorite Stacks + Commish Tips, Camp News - Podcast for 7/26

14:24Mike Wright:I will do my best to remind you.

14:25Andy Holloway:If your target becomes Dak Prescott because you have Seedy Lamb, I think, honestly, the George Pickens, whoever drafts it, that's the only team you've got to actually be concerned about. going to be hyper-targeting Dak.

14:38Mike Wright:Jason, let me put you to the test here because I'm curious. Dak is the first pick of the 11th round right now. Bo Nix is the second pick of the 8th round. Let's say you get in. It's 9-0-6. So Bo Nix has dropped a round and a half. But to get Dak, you're probably going to need to pull the trigger here. And you have CeeDee Lamb on your team. Which player do you select?

15:01Jason Moore:So I'm pretty bullish on Bo Nix. I like him a lot. He is much higher ranked in my rankings than even where he is going average draft position. So he drops down to the ninth. I will probably take him. But there are ways in which that doesn't go well. I would have no problem double tapping. You know, if Dak's there at ADP in the 11th. Sure. Great. I'll take him too. And, you know, not being committed to the every week start playing matchups and having two options that could both in their own right end up being high end.

15:34Andy Holloway:Kyle just gave us a scorcher. He says, over the last two years, the Dallas stack, which Kyle, I assume you're saying C.D. Lamb and Dak Prescott, in full Dak starts, that is an important qualifier, 38 points per game for the two of them. That's the same as the Joe Burrow-Jamar Chase stack over the past two years. I mean, it's been incredible. I mean, we've talked at length about Dallas.

16:05Mike Wright:I think Dak is so undervalued. The biggest thing that we've talked about is, you know, Sam Darnold was great in a clean pocket. Dak has spent the majority of his career with a top five, top ten offensive line. Yeah. How do things go for Dak in that regard, and can they execute the offense? That is changing hands again. So, you know, new head coach, new offensive line, do things just go back to normal cd lamb thinks they will if you listen to him talk well he doesn't want to talk about how great he is andy right yeah i mean like part of it is it's like okay if all of this were a guarantee dak would not be drafted here yeah well it's that's the reality is it is a um we know what the upside is and the upside is best in the league wins you a title there aren't

16:53Jason Moore:a lot of players that have that kind of upside dak prescott has a year with four games started a year with 12 games, started in a year with eight games, started three different seasons where he was unfortunately, you know, season ending injury and he did not have great fantasy years. Every other year of his entire career, which is six other seasons, he's been a top 12 quarterback three times in the top six.

17:15Mike Wright:Now, did you learn about his injuries from Jerry Jones's press conference? Is that where you were informed about?

17:21Jason Moore:He's very upset about paying, signing a contract for a player who might not even play.

17:27Mike Wright:He did seem to hold them accountable for missing the time.

17:30Andy Holloway:Well, you got – I mean, it's a slippery slope, Andy. You can't – you're letting guys get away with being hurt. Having a fractured ankle? It is. It is a slippery slope. That's not how we did it. Tell them to look in the mirror and think about whose fault it was.

17:42Jason Moore:Keep that foot on is what Jerry's saying. He said, Dak, that was so selfish. To have your foot removed from your body? I just paid you money.

17:50Mike Wright:That was selfish. Not how they did it back in the 30s. all right into the news news and notes from around the league

18:03Mike Wright:all righty we've got some stuff to talk about justin fields left practice on thursday with a dislocated toe in his right foot this was uh we're recording thursday afternoon that was this morning first he was carted off then there was some news that hey they didn't you know why'd they take the why'd they take the cleat off if his knee was hurt because they were worried about acl and then it became the foot and then became the toe and it was uh we're hoping it

18:28Andy Holloway:would go to toenail but it just stayed at the toe yep we don't know as of right now what toe it was but no it wasn't the big one the process of elimination we know that the jets have that like their official social media accounts came out and listed him as day-to-day so should be a nothing burger.

18:47Jason Moore:Should be okay, but I still do worry

18:50Andy Holloway:for a mobile rushing quarterback. Well, and a brand new offense. You need to pay attention. If he ends up missing two weeks of camp, I mean, now we're in a big deal because you're running into the season.

19:02Mike Wright:Kyle Shanahan said he'd be surprised if Ricky Pearsall wasn't practicing by Sunday. Okay. Kevin Stefanski said it's fair to say Jerome Ford is the team's top running back right now. Fair to say is also what we would say about it when Quentin Judkins isn't playing and you have a or under contract fourth round dylan sampson to compete and ford has been established there and

19:20Andy Holloway:so but don't worry uh ford has been missing some practices but he'll be okay he's dealing with something maybe okay playing for the browns uh jordan schultz reported that free agent noah

19:33Mike Wright:fant will visit the bangles he's like oh now you want me around huh well no offense was a money problem i was talking about oh okay yeah sorry no offense still just 28 i think and so the bangles looking into him it would suck because i think a sickie is like kind of a week to week you know

19:50Jason Moore:he's desperation play for those games that t higgins miss yeah you know which we know is usually

19:56Andy Holloway:coming you throw in gisicki or maybe no offense no offense has been very disappointing yeah kyle

20:04Mike Wright:pitts by the way has been working oh my gosh with the falcons wideouts and then all the all the camp news is oh we're giving the ball to kyle pitts who by the way 24 and on the last year of his

20:14Jason Moore:contract yeah contract year young man go earn the next bag yeah he's not gonna do that well he is i mean you know that kyle pitts is gonna get a big money offer to this offseason unless he comes

20:26Mike Wright:out and just completely collapses i don't know if that's a concession young i i promise big money

20:34Jason Moore:though like top top tier yes he will get a large what's fall on i guess 600 hold on what what

20:41Andy Holloway:yardage total is fall on face uh like 400 yards okay so his sophomore year when he missed yeah

20:49Mike Wright:i was hoping you forgot that um all right so kyle pitt's getting a lot of attention i mean we this is his time of year he is he's actually been one of the most dominant offseason tight ends that i've i've been around since my fantasy career began so um is there is there a world so So, like, we're super. Is it Trey Burton? Trey Burton's a good dominant offseason tight end as well.

21:11Jason Moore:Yeah. He got the bag. Yeah. So, we are very early. Training camp just started this week, just a couple days ago for most of these teams. This is, you know, two, three days into camp. Obviously, all the news out is how great Cowpits dominated. He was the clear number one target in the 11-on-11s. Oh, he's being a monster, whatever. And we brush it off and we joke it aside. is there something that could happen this off season this training camp this preseason to make you actually do it again so i go into this year and then he went down at practice

21:47Mike Wright:with a trainer so if he did oh yeah he did oh i missed that after a diving catch so we don't know the status he's probably fine to answer the question if if we went into the season one weapon short maybe i look it's 24 yeah i'm just saying rookie season i'm wanting to you know what the actual your temptation level is here's the truth that nobody wants to hear and i'm not trying to advise you draft kyle pitts you talked about him getting a big money deal and you look at the yardage he put up he was over 600 yards for the last two years if you grade that on a scale of what he should have been it sucks if you grade it on a scale of what's pretty okay for a tight end 600 plus yards and you know 50 plus catches uh you know what he had 90 targets two years ago it's serviceable right it's it's not special and we needed special for the draft price and we've needed special for four years and i won't touch him yeah for fantasy that's the story is 600 plus yards is what you're going to get so a streaming option he should do stuff right He should.

22:50Jason Moore:He should. But will he?

22:53Mike Wright:But not special stuff. I just hope he can run faster than he looked last year. He doesn't even want to weigh. He doesn't want his voice. I feel like.

23:02Andy Holloway:Guys, I have a lot of heavy takes out there in the ether right now.

23:06Jason Moore:I don't need to be attached to Kyle Pitts. But I will say this. Having posed these questions, I can tell that there is greater than 0 % of Andy Holloway. No. greater than zero that thinks there's a path for him to be really successful. Mike is at zero.

23:25Mike Wright:Only one of us in this room went out and traded for him on purpose in Dynasty, and it wasn't me.

23:31Jason Moore:That's true.

23:32Mike Wright:And it wasn't Mike.

23:33Jason Moore:But for the record, I paid jack squat. I'm buying on the penny scale. I did not go out and trade for Kyle Pitts because I think he's going to be great.

23:45Mike Wright:Here's who you draft Kyle Pitts ahead of. Let me give you that list. You draft him ahead of Pat Fryermeath. Yeah. You draft him probably ahead of Gesicki, Kate Auten. You draft him ahead of the slowest man on earth. Dalton Schultz. Those are the low upside guys. You might as well just take Kyle Pitts just in case. 100%. So that's the story. And that's all we're going to say about that.

24:10Jason Moore:What is Dalton Kincaid? Kincaid. Kincaid or Pitts.

24:15Andy Holloway:I would take Kincaid. I would take Dalton Kincaid. Yeah. He's at 12, by the way. He hasn't disappointed me that many years in a row. No, and we know he's... He hasn't been there long enough, Mike. Exactly. Give him time. Oh, yeah.

24:25Mike Wright:I'm not saying we aren't going to get there. That is the funny thing. Dalton Kincaid's rookie season, about 670 yards receiving. And Pitts has had 600-plus the last two years. So they're both just equally disappointing. That is it for news and notes. We will take a break and hit the mailbag.

24:45Andy Holloway:no matter what triumphs are in store this season legendary game days start with a Miller Lite Miller Lite is a true American pilsner and the original light beer brewed since 1975 made with simple ingredients including malted barley for rich balanced toffee notes and its iconic golden color it delivers the dependable taste beer lovers have trusted for 50 years And with just 96 calories and 3.2 grams of carbs per 12-ounce serving, Miller time is always a good time.

25:53Mike Wright:All right, Foot Clan, whether you are on the go or at home, T-Mobile, well, they're built to keep you connected wherever you're scouting your fantasy team. And that on-the-go part, that is important. With America's Best Network, you'll be connected to the latest news and player projections, so when you're on the clock, you can draft a winning team. I can think of so many situations where that element of being connected while you're on the go is fundamental to fantasy football success. I'm in the midst of multiple leagues right now where I am responding to trade offers. We are massaging the trade offer.

26:23Mike Wright:We want to make sure that I'm the one that gets the player, not another player manager in our league. So trade offers when you're on the go, all the news that's breaking so you don't make a mistake, and my favorite thing, maybe I'll mention it. Look, you're sitting and you have a quiet moment somewhere out and about. You want to jump in the UDK. We got the player profiles. You can watch all of those in there with T-Mobile. You can jump in on the player projections and our stat projections and all the 130 ,000 words of content. Again, T-Mobile making that easy to do. Every bit of news, things are changing all the time.

27:26Mike Wright:All right, it is time to jump in a bunch of your, jump in and handle a bunch of your questions. Here we go.

27:34Mike Wright:mailbag

27:35Andy Holloway:mailbag

27:36Mike Wright:if you have a question for this show you can go to the website the fantasyfootballers.com you can click the submit a question button or you can dial our voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB nothing entertains us more than you calling the voicemail hotline and maybe making a slight mistake in your attempt to ask a question we do those are fun we do get entertained by that but let's start out here go ahead Nathan Nathan. Nathan Platt. Yeah, thanks, buddy. Here we go. Into a voicemail.

28:08Jason Moore:What's up, ballers? This is Nathan, longtime supporter of your show. Love everything you guys do.

28:13Andy Holloway:Keep it up. My question for you is, do you think Ashen Jenty is being drafted too high at his ceiling, like we saw Marvin Harrison Jr. being drafted at last year, or do you think he could crack that top five RB for the year? Appreciate it, guys. This is Nathan who had the voicemail. Was that him? Yeah, it's the same guy. Hey, he's not a quitter.

28:32Jason Moore:Yeah, he came back with a vengeance. That sounded like a guy who didn't mess up the first time. That was excellent. I mean, we don't know. Maybe he didn't. Maybe there were two guys named the same. I believe Ashton Gentry could end the year as the running back one. Okay. That is a quick and easy answer for that one. I don't think that he's being necessarily overdrafted. I do think he's near his ceiling. But when you're drafted that high, I mean, that's a pretty good ceiling. A lot of those guys are. I think Bucky Irving is being drafted very much at his ceiling. But Jente, the thing that holds him back from the number one overall to me is just simply, do you think that the Raiders' offense is going to have enough scoring opportunities for him to have 10 touchdowns?

29:19Mike Wright:Are the Falcons a guarantee to be an offense better than the Raiders? I don't think so.

29:23Jason Moore:No, but they play such an easy division. They'll have games where they are.

29:27Mike Wright:with you know splitting hairs i i look at both of those guys is i think both can finish number one

29:34Andy Holloway:i yeah i'm okay with the the genti draft price but i get it it is a little scary like i think that the falcons offensive line is better and so you think that genti can't where's his range of outcomes no i i think it it's it's possible like your small probability that he could finishes the overall number one running back especially with the the guys we have going this year and i the question comes down to do they spend what was he pick number five i believe so reminder wait no what pick did you four five are you talking about jenty four five six he was picks

30:15Jason Moore:four five and six um he was the sixth six yeah because five was the jags and then they moved

30:20Andy Holloway:Like I said, six. Spending the sixth overall pick on a running back to not feature that running back would be idiocracy.

30:31Jason Moore:I mean, with a depth chart, they could have spent anything.

30:34Andy Holloway:All I'm saying is if anything can go wrong, it's the coaches outsmart themselves and waste a draft asset like Ashton Chetty.

30:46Jason Moore:When is the last time Pete Carroll took a first-round running back and decided to not give him bell cow usage. You are kind of proving the point.

30:55Andy Holloway:He obviously not that high up. But yes, for those who are new to the game, Rashad Penny, what it could have been, and then Rashad Penny could not beat out, what, like last pick of the draft, Chris Carson?

31:10Mike Wright:Yeah, I mean, you get a little hairier when you're in the 20s when you're drafting rookie running backs. But Matthew writes in off of X, says, how early is it to set or how early is too early to set up your live draft date for your league?

31:24Andy Holloway:When do you set yours up to wait to set it up now?

31:28Jason Moore:But what date should your draft be? My recommendation is as late into the preseason as possible, like the weekend before kickoff is great. We have hours on. Is it Labor Day, Labor Day, which is September 1st.

31:41Mike Wright:It's as late as we can do it while everybody can still make it. That's what we do.

31:44Andy Holloway:It's as late as possible. I mean, things are different now of the way because, you know, it used to be we all know that week three because there was four weeks of preseason. Week three is the dress rehearsal where the starters will go out and they will typically play an entire half. I feel like that doesn't happen anymore. No, it doesn't. Because, I mean, we only have the three preseason games. You have in, like, week two they're not going to throw everybody out there for a half. So preseason is far more different when you're talking the risk of injuries in a game practice of course the risk of injury is still there but it is not i don't think it's nearly as important to go as late late as possible as it used to be um going back 10 years do you

32:27Mike Wright:want to know the running backs taken in the top 10 if you want a memory refresher when we look at genti or trent richardson um trent richardson you go back further for trent richardson that's

32:38Jason Moore:2012 is it's 2012 are we going back to the christian mcafree leonard fournette draft

32:42Mike Wright:that's 2017 McCaffrey was eight Fournette was four Zeke was four overall the year before Saquon was two in 2018 Bijan was eight in 2023 Gentry was six last year um and then if you keep going back you go to Trent Richardson um which ironically if you don't remember I was gonna say

33:03Jason Moore:he was not he was a this is 100 hit rate it's pretty close to being good for those top 10 picks Trent Richardson after that rookie year Bichon

33:13Andy Holloway:Bichon finished at 9 he was only 12.8 points per game I feel like he's a good example he was a disappointment of yeah that's a good example of what

33:22Mike Wright:the range of outcomes is I think because it's not like Bichon was a bad player it's just his circumstances what the team needed from him other backs like dude

33:32Andy Holloway:they used Tyler Algier way too much his rookie year was infuriating and touchdowns he had four receiving, but he only had four rushing touchdowns. Oh, and you remember how much red zone work

33:42Jason Moore:Algier got his last year? Oh my goodness. Arthur! You dirty

33:48Mike Wright:man. Alright, we are back into a voicemail question.

33:53Jason Moore:Hey, Ballers. I'm taking over as commissioner for my fantasy football league. Any general advice about taking over from a commissioner? Thanks.

34:02Andy Holloway:New commissioner tips. Rule with an iron fist!

34:06Mike Wright:Yes. We hear so many questions every year about basically bad things commissioners do. So I think one angle you could take is some of the things that have been absolutely insane, which is like not considering the opinions of the rest of your league. Our leagues are majority vote or super majority vote for all of our significant league changes. We certainly don't do things that we've heard commissioners do like, hmm, I just changed the way the rules work after the week to benefit the commissioner or other people in the league, like neutrality, democracy, and activity. If you want to look to the positive side, a good commissioner facilitates the organization of a league in a manner that allows communication to be easy, people to be excited.

34:57Mike Wright:For so many years, we did things like weekly write-ups about teams and how they performed, trade reviews. You don't have to do all that other stuff, but just keeping the league active. A couple really good managers, like the commissioner can be one of them, and then a couple more, like two or three super active, energetic people can define an entire league and get everybody on board. They really can't. They can move the needle. We've had leagues where we lose one or two people that we didn't want to lose because they just had something going on. They wanted to leave the league. And you miss them.

35:27Mike Wright:You miss the activity. That is correct.

35:30Andy Holloway:We have – Wait, what do you have? It's not breaking news. Super breaking news. But Najee has been spotted at Chargers practice. Now he is wearing gigantic sunglasses. And a hoodie. So we cannot get a... We've been waiting to see that eye. I'm zooming in on this. I'm trying. This is eye gate. But he's at least there.

35:53Jason Moore:Yeah, he's there. I feel like he's trolling us. You know what I mean? I hope. I hope he's trolling us. I hope like, you know...

36:01Mike Wright:Here's the funny thing is you could... I mean, if you wanted, you're practicing outside. You play games in a helmet with a visor. He doesn't ever have to show us. You could never see it again. He can keep that eye secret as long as he can play football. So you guys were both reacting. I was giving commissioner information. It was great info, dude. You guys saw it. You don't know what I was saying. Great info. You saw Najee, though, appearing at camp. Okay. We had to dive in. Do not unilaterally veto trades as a commissioner.

36:32Andy Holloway:Yes.

36:32Jason Moore:Also, don't have a veto period.

36:34Andy Holloway:Yeah. Yep.

36:35Mike Wright:Turn that off. Unless there's collusion, which we repeat. You can kick someone out for collusion.

36:40Jason Moore:I'm not saying you can't cancel a trade, but don't have the 24-hour window or the 48-hour window for trades to be approved once accepted. Yeah.

36:50Mike Wright:1996 called. Once it's rules back. Yep. Anything else for commissioners that you want to mention? Just be cool, man. Yeah. Just be cool. Don't be a loser. Yeah.

37:01Jason Moore:That's really good advice. I mean, it's good.

37:02Mike Wright:tips right let's go over to the ducers because i know nobody's better on the mic than matt over there matt are you the commissioner of any leagues yeah i have a couple actually so are you look do do people look up to you in those leagues are you a good commissioner yeah i'm the best commissioner okay they respect me a lot they do yeah they love me and do you rule i mean any of these things we say have you gone against them like are you unilateral in anything no no vote on everything have you had to kick anybody out yeah i kicked out my brother one year. He's back, but he colluded. Oh, wow. You let a colluder back?

37:38Mike Wright:Did he sign a document promising he wasn't going to do that again? He forged a document. It was about a three-year ban. Oh, that's a good ban. I mean, I guess you don't have to like... If someone colludes, are you done with them? Is that a lifetime ban?

37:53Jason Moore:I don't know, man. What if they're just a young kid just finding their way in the world? Yeah, I don't know. Let's say Calvin Ridley you know he got his ban for betting right on sports but what if he was betting on the falcons do you let him back does the nfl let him back uh pete rose says no they don't right well i mean that was a different world also falcon way to fly we were working we were practicing before

38:19Mike Wright:the show almost covering his mouth when he talks yeah but he did do better and so i'm very proud of you thank you blah blah kyle would like the world to know you're an idiot if you bet on the

38:28Jason Moore:Falcons. Well, I mean, when I say bet on the Falcons, I don't mean to win. You could bet on them to lose. That's way worse. That would be a big problem.

38:36Mike Wright:Yeah, Pete Rose always bet on his team to win, and they didn't let him. See, I don't see why that's that big of a problem.

38:41Andy Holloway:That's why I didn't want to get into this conversation.

38:44Jason Moore:Pete Rose conversation? No, the bet on your own team to win. What is wrong with that? What is wrong with that, like, ethically? I mean, like, oh, I'm going to have to play so much harder now.

38:55Mike Wright:There's nothing independently in a vacuum, that narrow channel of betting, there shouldn't be anything that is bad about that. I think it's just

39:03Jason Moore:the slippery slope argument. You've got to have a hard and fast rule that you can't.

39:07Mike Wright:You betting on the game, you just can't have that be part of this sentence. Right. I get it. I get it. But at the same time, the people

39:13Andy Holloway:who pay you are literally betting on you to go win the game for your team.

39:18Mike Wright:Yeah, you certainly can't do any lines or your performance or your yards or anything like that. Yes, I agree. Just to your team to win.

39:25Jason Moore:The NFL should have one rule. You can bet on your team to win Moneyline.

39:29Mike Wright:Or just part of their contract every week gets put in. Oh, yeah. Their money gets conditioned on a bet.

39:35Jason Moore:Are there? I wonder if there's contracts for just wins and losses. Yeah, there's wins for sure.

39:39Mike Wright:This is why Mike didn't want to have his cards. There basically are doing this. There are.

39:43Jason Moore:There's got to be escalators with wins. There are. That's a bet. That's basically a bet. You're betting on yourself to win. When you sign that document, you bet on your own team. Suspend them. Suspend them. Contract looks like betting.

39:53Andy Holloway:I don't know.

39:54Mike Wright:All right. uh here's a question from you not a professional youtube question this is a uh frequent question asked by a lot of people every year brent writes in well first he says mailbag yeah if you could pick any spot to draft from which spot would it be and why this is the first question by brent despite listening for six plus years we do get this question every single year because a lot of leagues allow you to pick your draft spot that's part of the sometimes you do reverse order of standings gets 1 through 12 and sometimes you get first pick of spots so in this draft in this year

40:36Andy Holloway:I think what's the latest I can get Christian McCaffrey any pick in the first round

40:42Jason Moore:he's on average in the second

40:44Mike Wright:your spot's probably 9 or 8 give me a late spot I'm probably more around the 5 or 6

40:52Jason Moore:range this year yeah i i feel like there are who's the necessities chase the super necessities uh

40:59Andy Holloway:jay john b john saquon parkley jefferson cd jefferson a lock he is top of her tier okay yeah

41:08Mike Wright:he is to me uh gibbs so that's why i'm like five six around gibbs range man i see i feel like i am

41:14Jason Moore:and cd you can put cd in i'm almost fine with like 11 or 12 right now i i think i i think i would take 11 because to me yeah you're not getting bijon you're not getting saquon um you're not getting jamar chase so to me like top three is worth it but if i were gibbs gibbs is great but gibbs versus

41:32Mike Wright:genti um gibbs you know it's chase brown uh derrick henry henry i i feel like when we did the mock

41:40Jason Moore:drafts and you got saddled with the turn i loved your team yeah i i like the guys at the turn you I'm looking at the people that are going around that spot. Derek Henry, Ashton Jensi, Nico Collins, Chris McCaffrey.

41:53Andy Holloway:You need to look at the way back in, though. Okay, so right now ADP is Nico. Then it's A-Chan, Brian Thomas Jr., Brock Bowers, Jonathan Taylor, A.J. Brown, Josh Jacobs. If I hit a point where you feel like there's a massive drop after Jacobs. Are you talking about in the second round? Yeah.

42:12Jason Moore:Yeah, I think that's about where it drops unless you love McBride and want to go with a tight end i think i'd go with the back half of the first if i could pick

42:23Mike Wright:uh we have an instagram question from liam ppr keeper question brian thomas jr amon rossst brown oh man brian thomas is 22.8 amon ross 25.8 i am very cozy with amon ross yeah this is an easy

42:40Jason Moore:Amon Ra that if you're in a keeper league this was a mistake that for years and years I think our original league made nobody does this anymore but they treated it like it was a dynasty league you know if you're keeping three guys the age really really doesn't matter you're you're probably not going to keep the same guy that you think you're going to have forever forever it just doesn't work that way so who's better this year they're both young and now if Amon Ra was 29 right now, okay, maybe I'm going, I don't know how he's going to do this year and next year, but if you're still in the prime of your career, it doesn't matter whether you've got more years forward.

43:18Jason Moore:I just want to make sure you're okay next year.

43:21Andy Holloway:Aminrah is much safer to make sure that you have a locked-in wide receiver one, but it's like Brian Thomas Jr. could be the wide receiver one, and I don't think Aminrah can. So it's just what do you prefer? Man, I think Oman Rock could probably do it. I don't think he can be number one. Three is not close enough for you? He's been three the last two years. No, because when you finish at number one, generally you're multiple points per game ahead of number three. That's true.

43:52Mike Wright:Okay. We'll take another quick break. Come back with more of your questions.

45:34Mike Wright:YouTube question from Aloha Ace. Omarion Hampton or Chuba Hubbard as your RB2 in a full PPR league? Oh, man. With all the Najee news. Najee's back. With all the Najee news, Omarion Hampton's certainly an interesting name. Oh, man. I haven't moved Omarion to the place I would believe he belongs if Najee didn't start healthy. right we all have them pretty close i mean i got him at 19 right now jason 22 mike 17 but again yeah we need this is one of the most camp dependent adjustments possible chuba i have one spot higher right now jason has chuba higher and mike has him lower if i knew that naji was healthy and playing i'd probably just stick with these rankings and i'd probably go with chuba i think he's going to get so much work i'm optimistic for carolina's

46:27Andy Holloway:offense to have success and yeah the the thing about Hampton is you're you're gonna need to make sure that you have a more dependable running back two for a chunk or two of the season because like Chuba you right in running back two he's gonna be their main guy for the entirety of the season. Hampton, it might take time. I am still going to bet that over the course of the season, Hampton will be the guy.

47:00Jason Moore:So you're saying if you go high T and this is your fourth round pick and he's your third running back, you've got a stud wide receiver. Maybe you went Jamar Chase in the first round and then you go running back, running back, running back. He's your third. Then I would take Hampton over Chuba. I don't mind that. I do think that Chuba's a good back and I think he's going to be pretty safe but when we talk about play style of fantasy football and whether you're really truly trying to win your league feels like omarion hampton is the the better pick the the better offense the more run heavy team the better talent it's like the i mean he was the first round

47:34Andy Holloway:or hampton was the first round and nick chubb was not but it's like the nick chubb year where carlos hyde was in nick chubb's way and then about halfway through the season or whenever it was I believe they traded. They traded Carlos Hideaway and also Nick Chubb is just and I could see the exact

47:51Jason Moore:same thing like if you're telling me Dallas halfway through this year isn't knocking on the door to get Najee right when they go when they look at that team and go that that team probably wants to get rid of Najee and give the ball more to Hampton. I could see something like that happen. Yeah.

48:06Mike Wright:You guys enjoy the Jim Harbaugh gif of him behind the Peaking through the curtains. I don't even know what it was. I didn't see it. Are you kidding me? Oh, dude. Look at it right now. Someone pops it. You can find it anywhere.

48:22Andy Holloway:The lack of memes for what that moment was is disappointing. It's just spectacular. Have we memed this? It's social media, man. Have we memed this? Falcon? What? Oh, my God. You're fired. Again. You're fired. Pay attention to the show. The Chargers put up a video, and then at the end it zooms in, and it's Harbaugh peeking through some curtains or something. You basically see this slow-mo video of Justin Herbert.

48:51Jason Moore:Oh, my gosh. Are you kidding me?

48:54Mike Wright:It's awesome. It's unbelievable. He is such a football guy.

48:58Andy Holloway:And I have not seen that thing memed the way it deserves it, especially from our own social media account.

49:05Jason Moore:We need to download that thing and go to work. Who fixed it? He's just. that is an inappropriate look he's giving giving Herbert yeah sometimes I honestly

49:16Mike Wright:I honestly think Jim Harbaugh wins by sheer force of whale sometimes really like just loving the game and thinking about the game you saw his podium attire right he had cleats on to a degree his passion for football is it's just it's summed up in that meme so make sure you post it and make sure you

49:40Andy Holloway:Harbaugh would trade his family for a Super Bowl win

49:43Jason Moore:I think he would I think he'd put his family in the game and force them to win a Super Bowl

49:50Mike Wright:but it comes from love this is not like Bill Belichick would also have sacrificed his family for a Super Bowl win but with a scowl on his face Jim Harbaugh he would convince the family that it's a good thing to go down for this win he's just such a he's a great coach and sometimes i just i'm just shocked um but i you know it wore out its welcome in san francisco one point in time too so all right uh this is a fun question from the website caden writes in from calhoun louisiana hey ballers hey i've recently gotten my wife into fantasy football and on draft day she also uses the udk and she takes advantage of the vast knowledge it provides how do i navigate draft day when she is looking at the same cheat sheets i'm looking at uh he he left a note in the details uh which oftentimes people put their league format in the details field this one says we're both very competitive good note thank you so you know our i would say this to start and you guys throw in what you think the udk is not um like a a set of like 15 steps to win your draft.

51:00Mike Wright:It's not an order of operations. So it's really a robust tool in which you build your own game plan based on the resources they're in. So, yes, you're both going to have some players you're probably targeting that are similar if you buy into some of our logic.

51:14Andy Holloway:And you listen to the show. Yeah. Unless you got your wife into the fantasy footballers, then may God have mercy on your soul.

51:23Jason Moore:Right. That's going to be real, real tough. yeah I mean there's a lot of different resources in the UDK and and some are better than others we we we say that in the UDK like we have a top 200 you know really encourage her to use the top

51:37Mike Wright:200 yeah we don't like it when you use it you made us make it yeah you clamored for it because

51:43Jason Moore:it's easy but it's not as good as the separate tiered based positional rankings because then it's about roster construction and grabbing the right guys from the right tiers as opposed to just this guy's 10 spots ahead of that guy in a shuffled together list so you know it's use your

51:59Mike Wright:use your brain yeah and then the win will be even sweeter that is true the wins are sweeter when you're playing with good competition all right instagram question when is the best week to set the trade deadline in a dynasty league red merc 92 writes in with this question we have a dynasty league we have a our keeper league and we have trade deadlines that have been different between

52:21Jason Moore:them yeah i think in a dynasty league i i want to say ours is week 12 you guys i think convinced

52:28Mike Wright:me to back it up a week or two yeah i i get it i want to say we were 11 for a while and then i think you're right yeah somewhere around normally about a week later than the nfl than the nfl or the the default in like espn and sleeper and wherever you're playing because i think how we've done it um tyler writes in from x and says bucky irving or t higgins going forward in a dynasty league bucky irving we know just 22 years old entering his second season t higgins 26 just

53:02Jason Moore:signed the contract for your 115 million dollar contract extension this one this one is actually

53:08Mike Wright:it's tough for me i think uh running backs short of shelf life then wide receivers higgins is locked up and attached to burrow for a number of years but i think running back's the harder position to find it overall in a dynasty league if you can have somebody that's really locked in so that's going to come down to your conviction around bucky irving's staying power i think and whether you think he'll be a you know does he get a second contract that's tough for running backs i think i

53:31Jason Moore:and what do you believe about t higgins's meat you know what his muscles no no his muscles his muscles. Thank you. I'm going to close my eyes and pretend I'm not here. I wanted to say his bones, but he's not breaking bones. He's always pulling muscles.

53:53Jason Moore:I'm not here.

53:57Jason Moore:Willie, do you think T. Higgins will be healthy?

53:59Andy Holloway:I still don't know what it meant. It means his body. I hope he means not what I heard. That's what I hope.

54:09Andy Holloway:I'm taking T Higgins Mike what do you think Don't ask me about T Higgins

54:16Jason Moore:I would take Diving deeper

54:18Andy Holloway:I would take T Higgins in a dynasty league Because I think Bucky will be One of those players that just He burns really bright For a couple of years And then we're sad And we just remember the times of Bucky Irving

54:31Mike Wright:It's This one comes down to what depth You have at both positions So I think I'd like to keep Bucky? I'll break the tie with T. Hanks. I mean, the sentence is just unacceptable.

54:48Jason Moore:It's just not. It's just standalone. Not standalone. Look, I'm trying new things. I'm sick of saying soft tissue. Please don't say that one. Don't combine those two sentences together. No soft meat. No, no. No.

55:11Jason Moore:All right. Well, I think the answer was T Higgins. Great show for me. The show is over. It was Bucky for me.

55:20Mike Wright:But the show is definitely over.

55:27Mike Wright:Happy Saturday, everybody. Hope you didn't fall off your lawnmower just then. But we'll be back. Goodbye. Five shows a week soon.
