Fantasy Football - Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2026 - Podcast for 2/19

14:33Andy Holloway:there yeah i don't want i think it's george let's get into the mock the fantasy footballers mock draft All right, some fun February fun. Who put that R in there? Some stupid Englishman. February. It's ridiculous. But some fun February fun here as we're looking at the high end, the top guys that we're thinking about. The 101, I will not let you wait any longer. I will break the suspense. It's B. John Robinson.

15:11Jason Moore:Oh, man. I thought I'd get him. B.

15:15Andy Holloway:John Robinson, Atlanta Falcons. We already touched on it at the top. He was just, he was on the field, the best running back in the NFL. I don't think it's even close, and that's not a disrespect to Gibbs and company of guys who are truly elite. B. John is just different, and the fact that Algier might be moving on, uh is exciting it really like if we can truly get bijon all of those touches in the green zone he'll he would end up lapping the field i believe so i'm taking him confidently with the first pick

15:54Jason Moore:good luck now yeah i know now now it gets much more dicey when you actually have to put some of these guys in the same tier in order um you know the you got the three pack of wide receivers we've talked about recently, Puka Nakua, JSN, and Jamar Chase. I'm probably going to take one of them. You've got another tier of running backs. I'm curious where the running backs, what the order they go in here. Obviously, Christian McCaffrey was the number one fantasy asset this last year, but now a lot of workload, another year older, whatever. We'll see how strong you are, Mike, since you're the – He's CMC.

16:35Jason Moore:Gibbs, who obviously can be super explosive. Jonathan Taylor.

16:40Andy Holloway:Jonathan Taylor, I think, at this moment in time, he's the hardest one to evaluate because up until the Daniel Jones injury, he was the number one guy by points per game. So I guess when I'm saying how great Bijon was, Jonathan Taylor, go ahead, take offense to that. But it really fizzled out in the second half because they didn't have a quarterback. Meanwhile, B. John's getting it done with the likes of Michael Penix and this version of Kirk Cousins. So that's what I'm saying. That's why B. John's at the top for me. But Taylor's like, where will he go in this first round?

17:20Jason Moore:Well, he will not go at number two. Okay. Because at number two, I'm going to take Jamar Chase. That's the three-pack. A wise man. That's exactly what I would have done. Puka is awesome, so consistent, but his play style gets himself injured. JSN, they're coming off of a Super Bowl season. They're going to be playing a number one schedule. I mean, these are splitting hairs, but when you've got Jamar Chase is, I think, the most talented of those three, and I think his quarterback is the best of those three, so you've got to swing for the fences even though things tend to always go wrong for the Bengals.

17:56Andy Holloway:Sure. I mean, they went pretty right for Jamar Chase, the wide receiver four on the season, even with a catastrophic first month. If you don't remember how bad it was in the first month, week one, Jamar Chase scored 3.6 points and a half PPR. Week two, electric, he's the wide receiver three. Unfortunately, though, Joe Burrow gets hurt in that game, which leads to 6.4 points in week three against Minnesota, 4.8 points against Denver and then the magic that was Joe Flacco number one being traded interdivision number two it's Joe Flacco as much as we praise Joe Flacco for fantasy football purposes on this show because in his elder years he really has come through but

18:49Jason Moore:he did the thing he did the thing that we've always said Why don't you just throw it to your best player every play? How about 23 times? He threw the ball to Jamar Chase 23 times in one game. Some quarterbacks don't throw the ball. They don't drop back 23 times in a game.

19:08Andy Holloway:Unfortunately, very, very lazy. Yet, co-champ of the League of Records, Kyle's not here, because I would ask, what is the most targets anyone's ever gotten in a game? I don't know if we have anyone who could be a crack researcher. Oh, gosh. Matt is so sweaty right now. Do you even know how to research, Matt?

19:26Jason Moore:He doesn't know how to spell research. I'm going to ask chat GPT real quick. Oh, gosh.

19:30Andy Holloway:Oh, that's going to work.

19:31Jason Moore:It looks like 71 targets in a game once.

19:36Andy Holloway:But keep us posted if it sounds remotely good, and we definitely won't report it. Yeah, I would have taken Jamar Chase at number two. And here's the thing. Puka has – I mean, he has his touchdown situation with Devontae Adams, Adams will be back. Oh, Matt is saying Brandon Marshall with 28 targets. Sounds reasonable.

19:59Jason Moore:That's awesome.

19:59Andy Holloway:It sounds reasonable.

20:00Jason Moore:Sounds like him with the Jets. Oh, yeah. Was that Jets or Bears? Broncos. Broncos. I mean.

20:06Andy Holloway:You got it totally wrong. Puka has the touchdown situation with Devontae Adams, and I can't imagine Adams is not back. And then Puka has a new OC. I'm sorry, JSN. So Jason is going to beat one of these first four picks, but we're just saying for things that have changed, Jamar Chase and company, they're running it back, and we love that. We want them to run back that defense as well. So you want Jamar. That's who I would have taken at number two. So at number three, I'm going to go with Puka Nakua in this spot. Oh, Jeremy is saying Chase's 23 targets were tied for third most in a game. Chris Chambers had 26.

20:50Andy Holloway:Back in 2005. 23 is still pretty good. All right, I'm going with Puka Nakua here at the third overall pick. Yes, everything we said about wide receivers, how scoring was down, especially in that wide receiver two range, but the elite of the elite were still difference makers. So I'm going to go ahead and jump on board here with Puka. He's just, as you said in the office, Jason, thank goodness Puka found football.

21:21Jason Moore:Yeah, because... Because... Yeah. What would that... Puka. Crazy guy be doing? He'd be... Can we get this man a handler? I think he would be... We need a PR handler to just be a Puka. Annoying all the other construction workers. You know what I mean? He'd be like, oh, Puka, calm down. Just put the next brick.

21:40Andy Holloway:It is... He's ridiculously good at football. I love him. That's where I'm going to go. Before we get into your next pick, Jason, we're going to take a quick break.

21:54A nod can say a lot of things. Sometimes it says, what's up, man? Sometimes it says, I see you, bro. Or sometimes it says, wow, the stylists at Sport Clips really did their thing with that cut. They clearly leveled up your fade and it looks sick. I've got to get myself to Sport Clips ASAP. Because that's what our stylists at Sport Clips do. Give you a fresh haircut that doesn't just get noticed, it gets nods. So choose your time, choose your stylist, and check in online. Sport Clips. Sport your look. On September 25th. Me, me, me! No one's coming for us. It's just you and me, boy. 58 miles. Part of the Beast is the must-see adventure of the year.

22:38An incredible story of survival. I got you. One of the most extraordinary on-screen bonds you'll ever see. Only the greatest dog to ever walk the earth. Brad Pitt. I'll get you home. Heart of the Beast. Pauline Theater, September 25th. Rated PG-13. Maybe inappropriate for children under 13.

22:59Andy Holloway:All right, we're back. Wait, Josh. Puka? Puka's? He just said that he likes skydiving. That was the response. I like skydiving. Puka's shooting his shot publicly on social media? Yeah. Yeah. It was pretty funny. Oh, my gosh. Hookah. All right.

23:18Jason Moore:Anyways, he's good at football. He's good for fancy football. Jason. He's a fun time. This makes it very easy to me. To me, it goes B. John Robinson and then the three-pack of wide receivers. That's how I had it, too. Before questioning whether it's the next wide receiver up or the next running back up. So I'll take JSN. I don't have a lot of fears here. He is going to have 30 % of the targets. and if you get 30 % or more of the targets, you're pretty much a guaranteed wide receiver. One, he's great around the end zone, somehow is always open, and obviously had the breakout. Super Bowl champs, easy.

23:55Jason Moore:I don't think there's much to explain there.

23:58Andy Holloway:All right. It does get a bit more difficult here. I want to, you know, like there's the loyalty bump, the pay for what you did for me, but we can't do that in fantasy football and so no i will not be taking christian mcafree

24:17Jason Moore:at this spot not yet no i think no picking mcafree right here

24:25Andy Holloway:how i feel about the the 2026 that would be the coward move is just be like no i'm just gonna take christian mcafree interesting who is in my list he will go in this first round But for me, with what I'm projecting to happen for the Detroit Lions and the seeming to be phased out David Montgomery, lots of rumors abound of will he even be on this team? Now I know it's the devil you know if Montgomery's on the team, it's Gibbs and Monty, and Gibbs took over. You know, Monty, despite Guns Mahoney, a.k.a. Dan Campbell's, insistence that we're going to get David Montgomery more involved in the game plan he would I he was just misspeaking because he meant Jameer Gibbs because that's what they actually did a guy who can you know the rattle off multiple games of three or more touchdowns and it was unfortunately if you had Gibbs there was the collapse at the worst possible time in championship week but if you had Gibbs there's a good chance you snuck into the fancy playoffs and he he got you to the championship game so I'm going to take Gibbs here as my RB2 yeah that

25:41Jason Moore:that makes sense personally I would take the guy that I'm going to take now over him and it is again not Christian McCaffrey it's actually Jonathan Taylor okay I I think that when the Colts get reset this offseason they dealt with so many just terrible injuries down the stretch which obviously none bigger than the one to Daniel Jones. But it's hard to remember how good they were, how dominant they were. They were beating the crap out of everybody. They needed three quarters to pretty much shut down their offense every game. And injuries piled up, and it made Jonathan Taylor into a very consistent, good fantasy option.

26:23Jason Moore:But it took him away from being, I can't lose in fantasy football because I've got Jonathan Taylor.

26:28Andy Holloway:His first 10 games, Jonathan Taylor hit the 30-point marker five times. Oh, my gosh. It was so good. Me, he was. Donnie, it was so good when I had you and you were healthy. He was outrageous, and that included, what, three? No, I'm sorry, four number one overall finishes, including week two against the Denver Broncos, who, as we learned throughout the season, they were in elite defense. And then the masterpiece before everything, and honestly, it didn't collapse for Jonathan Taylor over the second half after the bye week because you had 13.6 against Houston, 11.4, 11.6, 15 .4. Yeah, that's what I said.

27:13Andy Holloway:He was a really good option, but he wasn't a dominant. Right, but the masterpiece was right before the bye week against the Atlanta Falcons, 32 carries, 244 yards on the ground, three touchdowns. Three for 42 through the air. Almost 50 fantasy points. I mean, you won that week. Yes, I did. Yes, I did, Mike. That's the part where you probably went all in. Yeah, that is exactly what happened.

27:44Jason Moore:I was like, I'm going to live forever.

27:46Andy Holloway:Nothing bad can happen. Yeah. And then you won the championship and I didn't. That's where the luck portion of fantasy football shows up and can really derail and disenfranchise people. But Taylor is difficult for me because the second half numbers are good. But the second half numbers, those are not first-round running back numbers. And I just don't know what do they – I mean, number one, Daniel Jones is not technically under contract. I think he gets a big payday from the Colts. Yeah. But he will have to rehab and recover. and how much Anthony Richardson do you get at the beginning of the year?

28:30Andy Holloway:Because Jonathan Taylor with Anthony Richardson has not been good for fantasy. I will say this.

28:35Jason Moore:If it turns out that Jonathan Taylor has an opposite season to what he just had where he gets off to a decent but slow start and as the team gets healthy and Daniel Jones comes back in the playoffs, you get this monster, you win the championship. it yeah you absolutely could I will not be scared off of his situation he's he's too good of a running back too special of a human we we always bring up Derrick Henry when it comes to the outlier human being personally I think Jonathan Taylor is is in that boat I know he doesn't weigh 250 pounds but he is and always has been a different breed he dealt with injuries we forget that his second year in the league like he was the running back one overall in fantasy then he dealt with injuries for a while um bad quarterback play bad team as soon as he's back to a good team it was the running back one and then quarterback injury it it hasn't been a uh pretty ride but he is just

29:34Andy Holloway:too special all right so that puts me up yes sir took jonathan taylor there are two players who i think that they're really really close in tier and this is where I would take McCaffrey. If you don't take my next guy with your next pick, that'll make it easy for me. Why don't you pick it up? I already know who I'm taking. Christian McCaffrey, the workload was just absolutely outrageous, so that definitely is a red flag. 440 opportunities for Christian McCaffrey. I mean, 100 receptions, 102 for 924 yards. He was the focal point of the offense. I think he will remain the focal point of the offense.

30:25Andy Holloway:They have a lot to decide with Brandon Ayuk speeding his way out of San Francisco. We still aren't sure if Ricky Pearsall is an answer. I think Jennings is up for – I mean, Jennings always wants more money. Jennings. so there I mean there's a lot to find out and then the biggest piece of all is George Kittle with his Achilles tear right uh in the postseason right yeah yeah so George Kittle will be really up against it to to be back to start the year and like there's a difference there there's a huge difference in so I'm curious what you're calling for here because last year you were Mr.

31:09Jason Moore:I'm taking Christian McCaffrey every single mock draft. I'm taking him over way over his ADP because right if he's healthy if he plays the season he's the number one running back. He was healthy he played the season he was the number one running back. So correct on all accounts. Now the thing is is that should still be true. I realize that the Kittle injury is actually probably harmful to Christian McCaffrey but it's not harmful in the sense that now he's going to be you know the running back 10. Christian McCaffrey is usually either the running back one or two or he was injured. Like that's his entire career after his like sophomore season.

31:49Jason Moore:So what are you actually calling for? Because we've had some off the air Christian McCaffrey conversations and you seem very not bullish on him this year the way you were last year. You seem very worried.

32:01Andy Holloway:I would say, I mean, what did I just take him? Where are we? What pick is this? Pick seven. I took him as the seventh player for a fantasy football draft. I'm not bullish to the point of him where I felt just very convicted that if he's healthy, he'll be the number one guy.

32:21Jason Moore:But you took Gibbs over him, and you would have taken Jonathan Taylor over him. Jonathan, I would not have. Okay, but you think Gibbs over McCaffrey, is it because of what you think they do if they both play 17, or is it risk aversion because that's what I'm asking? Do you think Gibbs is a better scoring asset if they are both healthy? No. Okay. So then it is you are afraid that Christian McCaffrey won't play.

32:48Andy Holloway:I am afraid of the – I do buy into the when a player touches the ball and gets hit that many times. And that's just the regular season. Look at Saquon. Exactly. And McCaffrey is – McCaffrey will be 30, right? I believe so. Because he is 29.7 right now. So that should put him on pace to be 30 before the year starts. Massive workload over the last... It's hard to know the efficiency for sure. Because in 2024, he was at four yards per carry. But he played four games. He carried the ball 50 times. But he was at 3.9 this past year. How many had 102 receptions? That will be... Honestly, that will be everything.

33:35Andy Holloway:And that was, he hadn't been over 100 receptions since his year three in 2019 back in Carolina. Will he continue to get that level of targets? Because if he has 100 plus catches, then he's easily a top three running back. And Christian McCaffrey is, he's one of the guys to me, he is different. Where he's past the age cliff. Like the age cliff for running backs where things really start to go south is about 27 years old. and yet here he was at 29 being the number one fantasy running back. I have a little bit more concerns where I'm not at the point, like last year it was at least seemingly perception.

34:19Andy Holloway:Maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong of how I remember it. You either were in on McCaffrey or you're just like, I'm not drafting him in the first round.

34:28Jason Moore:Pretty much. McCaffrey went to a McCaffrey truther. He didn't just fall to a spot where people are like. A catheter? He went to a, oh man, a catheter. That's painful. Yeah, last year it was people were in or out on him.

34:44Andy Holloway:So it's like this is, I'm in. I'm just not as in as I was last year. So do not hear what I'm not saying. I'm not afraid of Christian McCaffrey. I'm going for a repeat in our dynasty league. I'm super pumped that Christian McCaffrey's on that squad. I'm not trying to dump him. I'm not trying to collect a check before it all falls apart. He is. I'm just going to, like Christian McCaffrey to me, in Dynasty, if you're a rebuilding team, you should definitely trade Christian McCaffrey and do what you can. If you're a contending team, I will hold the bag. I will let it. You'll hold until it's dust. I will let it turn into a flaming bag of poop in my hands because with him, I feel like it's not over until it's over.

35:31Jason Moore:Yeah. That's what we've done with Derrick Henry when like five years ago we were supposed to sell him. It's like, no, he's different. We're just going to keep getting fancy points until he is done. Here's the spot to take CMC because I do think he represents kind of the end of a tier. The next running backs up, James Cook, Devon Achan. What do you believe about Gentry or Hampton? It feels like a step down. so I'm going to look at the wide receiver position here I'm currently taking the fourth wide receiver off the board because we had the big three pack go two, three, and four well why take the fourth wide receiver off the board when I can still take the third wide receiver off the board I'm talking about the guy who finished his wide receiver three last year wide receiver three the year before and wide receiver three the year before that he is the perennial wide receiver three I'm taking Almond Ross St.

36:28Jason Moore:Brown I think that he is.

36:30Andy Holloway:So are you just making a funny joke here about why not take the wide receiver three? As in you don't.

36:37Jason Moore:Yes, I'm just calling him the wide receiver three because that's what he's finished for three years in a row.

36:42Andy Holloway:The statement kind of sounded like, oh man, I'm glad I didn't get one of those other guys because Amon Ra is actually the number three.

36:48Jason Moore:I don't know which one of those guys will fall behind him, but mathematically it has to happen. By the end of the season. But we know he won't pass two of them. Oh, no way. No way. so you got to take the other two you you got to take those three ahead 66 chance but yes 66 percent of the time it works every time um Amon Ross St. Brown is and and still like I feel like forever won't be the sexiest pick you don't see him as somehow able to finish as the wide receiver one overall even though he's been pretty close every single year but if you want a consistent guaranteed target monster on a very good offense and just there's no questions right like to me that I don't worry about anything I just know he's going to be targeted around the goal line he's going to be targeted between the 20s he's going to play through injury there's really no downside to Amin Ra he's still in the middle of his prime and he does six celebrations where the It balances on his head.

37:53Jason Moore:Has a good podcast? Is it good? I don't know. He does a podcast? I was trying to give the man some props. I don't know. I don't listen. But it's fake. That was phony baloney praise. People say he's got a good podcast. Who? I just did. See?

38:14Andy Holloway:Oh, man. Facts. I've never thought of that as a... A source says... I never thought of that as a defense. The people are saying that it's good.

38:25Jason Moore:Right, and it can be yourself. Yeah. Because now I'm telling the truth. I am my own source. I have a source.

38:32Andy Holloway:I feel like the snake ate itself of your circular logic there, my friend. Amon Ra, I don't believe that. So was that? That was not. That was not. That was not.

38:42Jason Moore:Can I guess who the other name? Sure. Seedy? Nope. Oh, wow.

38:46Andy Holloway:All right. James Cook. Okay. All right. James Cook, who somehow throughout the process of his career, I've never had the pleasure of having James Cook on my roster. I have had the pain of, okay, next week's matchup. Who am I? Oh, my God. I have to play against James Cook this week. And it is terrifying every single time. He can't hit – I'm sorry. He hasn't hit the high end of the running back finishes, the super high end, because 21 receptions, 44, 32, 33. At this point, this is just – this is what the offense is. I don't know that it's who he is. It's who Josh Allen is. It's who he is in this offense, at least.

39:40Andy Holloway:Yes. Yes. The player, I mean, to put him on a Shanahan team, I bet James Cook is catching 80-plus passes on that often. But he was the rushing leader. He didn't even play the final game of the year. He has been historically a very healthy running back. I mean, snaps be darned. Like, this dude was on the field 56 % of the snaps for Buffalo. It does not matter. It was crazy. When he's on the field, he's getting the ball.

40:10Jason Moore:The issue with him is he was so touchdown dependent and his touchdown rate was outlier high, but he wasn't getting volume. He was not – this was a player who literally the year prior had 207 carries.

40:27Andy Holloway:Right.

40:27Jason Moore:That is such a low number for to be a reliable RB1. To be the running back eight. Yeah, that just doesn't happen. That only happens if somehow you get 16 rushing touchdowns. Oh, he did. And that's why he kind of fell in drafts because it's like you can see the writing on the wall. This is a platoon situation where you need those touchdowns. He's not a prolific pass catcher in this offense. And then they're like, ah, how about we just give him the ball over 300 times and make him the leading rusher in the NFL.

40:55Andy Holloway:And the team has – they're going through some changes. They got rid of their head coach. They said McDermott hit the bricks. But they took their OC and made him the head coach. And so that – so things are the same. like it with joe brady at in charge he's still the mastermind of the offense he the the offense is josh allen and james cook and until otherwise noted i mean does it we'll just go through the hypothetical because that's where we're living right now george pickens is traded to buffalo what is your opinion of james cook is up neutral or down it would be pretty neutral because i am

41:37Jason Moore:bullish on James Cook already. I think that this is a player that they're going to try to give 300 rushing attempts to this season as well. He has established himself as the leader, not a committee back. They paid him a lot of money. He's going into year five. He's in the perfect age. So I think he's going to be great. You could say arrow up because the offense should be even better with George on it. But I, you know, he could end up taking drives away. You know, when George Pickens has a 60-yard touchdown bomb, well, then that kind of nukes a little bit of James Cook's points. So I think it'll be pretty neutral if that were to happen.

42:19Jason Moore:James Cook, to me,

42:21Andy Holloway:if you're trying to zoom out in longer term, I don't know yet if James Cook can be one of those guys that hits 28 29 and he's still dominating for fantasy football agreed but this like he the juice is still there right now at a at a very very high level he's a dalvin james cook because i mean they're they're literally genetic they are brothers but i mean cook was more beat up i mean cook tore what tore his acl his rookie year he had to wear the device all the time even though somehow the device powered him up. But the point being, James Cook, he still has it. He is one of, you know, it's like, so we got B.

43:09Andy Holloway:Bijan, Gibbs, Taylor, and James Cook. Is there anyone I'm not remembering where it's like every single time, if they're on your opponent's roster, every time they touch the ball, you go tackle, tackle, tackle. Because, you know. A-chan. Oh, yeah, A-chan. We'll put A-Chan in that list. Don't let him touch the ball. Because they can rip off 50-yard touchdowns. I thought those happen every week.

43:36Jason Moore:Those are terrifying. And you're 100 % right. If you play fantasy, you know exactly what the feeling is. You're watching against this guy and you just.

43:44Andy Holloway:Or you're up 35 points. Tackle him quick. Going into Monday night and James Cook is on the other side. You're not sleeping well. You're not counting your W because you know what can happen.

43:55Jason Moore:Yeah.

43:55Andy Holloway:So before you go into yours, Jason, we've got one more break.

45:33Andy Holloway:All right, Jay. First round of our earliest mock draft. Three players left. In the history of 2026, we have three picks. You have two of them. I only have one left. And I think mine's pretty spicy.

45:47Jason Moore:Oh, interesting. So let's see what you do. Well, then it probably won't be my pick because I think mine is, at this point, a layup. I believe that there will be people who think it's the beginning of the end for CeeDee Lamb. I will not be one of those people in the slightest.

46:06Andy Holloway:Good, because I will not stand for any CeeDee Lamb slander. Or slaughter, if you want to do a Lamb joke.

46:13Jason Moore:Oh, nice. Swish. Thank you. But yeah, CeeDee Lamb was hurt this year. Obviously, George Pickens was awesome. And things did not go well for the Dallas Cowboys. But he is the number one target. He is in his prime. He is one of the top six wide receivers in the NFL just by talent. If you trade him to another team, he's that team's one immediately. If you trade him to another team, he is that team's one immediately. He's a dominant player who has been the wide receiver one overall in fantasy in the past already with Dak. So I have no fears about CeeDee Lamb. And I feel like there is, you go from CeeDee Lamb to huge question marks up next.

47:02Jason Moore:Justin Jefferson, he just had a whole season where he sucked. And we don't know the quarterback situation. Maybe they get Kyler and then Justin Jefferson's going to fly up. Malik Nabors, oh man, so good. how's his recovery? Is he healthy? Is he healthy week one? I don't know. Drake London, George Pig, you enter a tier where I think there's a lot more questions than on CeeDee. So I'm going to take CeeDee off the board here and if you want to go wide receiver, you've got to do more calculus.

47:32Andy Holloway:Okay. CeeDee is I believe the appropriate pick. I would despite Amon Ross and Brown always being the wide receiver three I would take CD over him as of right now. So now I'm going to pickle because my list is, I believe at this point I would just gamble and I would take Malik neighbors right here. Cause I think Malik neighbors can be the overall number one wide receiver. So I'll just throw that out, but I, but I want, I'm going to put my spicy pick in here because let's have some fun. It's chase Brown. I knew you were going to do something stupid. it it is chase brown and the what i hope i'm doing here for people is chase brown will not be drafted in the first round of fantasy football drafts no he will not his production by the end of the year will yet again be that if someone who should have been taken in the first round so hopefully i'm look i'm not trying to blow up adp or anything right here i'm just letting people know that that my confidence in chase brown especially with the it's rumors and speculation right now of an extension because if an extension comes through especially before the we do i would say we're early nfl draft could still ruin things for chase brown i fully admit that but i think that i think the extension is coming for him and that will that will squelch Is that a real word?

49:02Andy Holloway:I don't know. Yeah, that's a real word. And it was a perfect. Would I use it right? You nailed that. Chase Brown is going to dominate for fantasy football yet again. Do not let the like just like Jamar Chase. The beginning of the year was awful for Chase Brown. And yet once Joe Burrow was back and the offense was who they actually are. Chase Brown just Chase Brown carried people to titles. Yeah, it was.

49:30Jason Moore:Chase Brown will be a good value in fantasy drafts because he won't go here. He doesn't have a big enough name, big enough NFL draft capital, an early enough start to his fantasy success in his NFL career, a slow start to last season when people drafted him and got just completely burned out. I mean, he was a My Guy for you last year, and you felt like you took the biggest L. Oh, it sucked. It felt so stupid and bad. and then, you know, five weeks in, all of a sudden he became exactly who you thought he would be.

50:04Andy Holloway:I mean, Chase Brown, you have, so through six weeks, he did not finish inside the top 20. Week one he was running back 21, week six he was running back 20. So I'm saying that's how bad the start was for Chase Brown, running back 34, 49, 37, 28. he started the year like that six weeks and yet he still finished as the running back eight over the course of the season because the second half was so good and I don't I don't think I'm I'm not saying Chase Brown could be like the a top three running back but he can be a top six maybe even a top five type of a guy that you don't have to pay up for yet again and I will be very excited to take him in drafts.

50:55Jason Moore:Yeah, I hope he drops much further than this. Get him near the two, three turn.

51:01Andy Holloway:Also, Jeremy has let me know squelch usually means to forcibly suppress unwanted expression.

51:08Jason Moore:That's basically exactly what you meant.

51:11Andy Holloway:What am I? What am I? A word of the day vocab calendar? I mean, we're helping people out here. Please, ladies and gentlemen, find a way to use the word squelch in your in your life today that is a fun word to say all right so i got the i got the

51:25Jason Moore:pressure of the last pick this is really big the issue is there's too many people that deserve to be in the first round that obviously are not going to be there um because there's only one more and you put chase brown in there that's right so you so i i want an apology to one of these guys from you but okay here are the players in consideration devon h and josh jacobs at running back are awesome i will apologize to devon h sure then i will not be putting him in so that you may apologize to him okay um so now it's between and honestly when i look at which is that here

52:03Andy Holloway:please hear what i'm not saying okay i'm not apologizing to josh jacobs for not putting him in the first round. Okay. Then I will select Josh Jacobs.

52:17Jason Moore:I actually am going to take Josh Jacobs. Okay. Josh Jacobs super banged up towards the end of the year. It was a bad finish, and it kind of got in the way of you realizing how – He was great. How dominant he was. I mean, you look before his injury. He got injured in week 11. From that point on, it was really rough. He's trying to play through it. some games he played through it while injured and was awesome other games it was like oh I think he fumbled early and so then was basically benched the rest of the game kind of due to the injury kind of to save himself but you you ended up starting him and he got nothing so it was just

52:53Andy Holloway:this trepidatious end to the season that from weeks one through ten Josh Jacobs was the running back five. He was a couple points ahead of Bijan. He was a couple points ahead of James Cook.

53:09Jason Moore:His pace would have been 20 rushing touchdowns through that stretch while getting over 50 receptions, basically 500 receiving yards, 1200 yards on the ground. He was a dominant force and they're not going away from him right now. I think the offense, they dealt with so many injuries, obviously the quarterback himself and and Jacobs himself going into next season Josh Jacobs is a running back one and he should be there now it's it's tough because Malik Nabors should be here um but the injury uh I I think Hampton um Hampton honestly is the next running back on my on my list when when we go through the UDK rankings and stat these guys out and look at the team projections look at the schedule dive as deep as we do I will not be surprised at all Olive Hampton is way ahead of Josh Jacobs in my rankings, ahead of Devon Achan or other running backs.

54:06Jason Moore:Like Chase Brown. Definitely Chase Brown, yeah. Why is it definitely? I'm just kidding because Chase Brown is a good enough fantasy asset to be taken here. It is one of those things where he's not viewed that way, in which case you want the value. like the the greatest part of chase brown is that if you're smart enough to get him where he's being drafted you're getting a great value if you reach yeah because i took him as what like the fifth

54:38Andy Holloway:running back yeah like that's egregiously high for adp yeah he won't he won't go anywhere near

54:43Jason Moore:there so um just let this be you know a little signal to let him drop to you and be more excited about it but he will he definitely will not be in the first round of adp all right i'm going to list some names after you give an apology.

54:58Andy Holloway:Well, this is what I'm going to list some names and do we need to apologize? All right. Devon HN. Yes. Yes. We apologize. Sorry, my man. There's just there's too much. There's too much. I don't know about the Miami Dolphins right now to put you in the first round. Ashton Jenty.

55:13Jason Moore:No, he earned his second round pick this with his rookie season.

55:18Andy Holloway:Saquon Barkley. No apologies. No apologies. None. Derek Henry. like an honorary apology okay so just like like a uh like a head nod yeah like we get it we get it

55:33Jason Moore:but you get it i'm not gonna say i'm sorry but you know that i'm sorry derrick you know you know

55:38Andy Holloway:you know how we feel but you get it yeah you're awesome can i do a first round pick of derrick
