Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Free Agency Day Two – Major Moves and Immediate Fantasy Impact

• Romeo Doubs to the Patriots

  • Contract: Four years, ~$80 million, similar to Wondale Robinson.
  • Analysis: Doubs likely moves into the role vacated by Stefon Diggs and stands as the clear #1 receiver option for rookie QB Drake Maye.
  • Jamie: "Huge opportunity for him here to have a career season and hopefully be a...must start fantasy wide receiver. But in the conversation in three receiver leagues for sure." (03:03)
  • Draft Range: Round 7-8 in PPR, depending on future Patriots moves.
  • Slot Role Concern: Doubs rarely plays from the slot (12% slot rate) but expected to stay outside and lead the Patriots’ receiving corps.

• Geno Smith to the Jets / Garrett Wilson Stock

  • Dave views Garrett Wilson as a "loser" from this signing, questioning Geno's ceiling compared to Wilson's prior fantasy ranks.
    • "I'm a little hesitant to call him a top 12 fantasy wide receiver." (03:43)
  • Heath and Jamie are more optimistic, citing that Geno Smith is at worst a minor improvement or status quo over Wilson's previous QB situations.
    • Heath: "I did not move Garrett Wilson. I think this is very much the same situation that Garrett Wilson's been in almost his entire career.” (04:51)
    • Adam: “He was wide receiver 10 per game in the first six games of the week, which included getting shut down by Patrick Surtain. Forget it. He was amazing...” (05:44)
  • Consensus: Wilson stable as a strong WR2 with WR1 upside depending on Geno’s play and lack of competition for targets.

• Isiah Pacheco to the Lions

  • Move is seen as giving Detroit quality running back depth but not threatening Jameer Gibbs’s role unless injury strikes.
  • Jamie: "If [Pacheco is] a 150 touch guy and six, seven touchdowns for the season, like where you're going to draft him, that's pretty good." (19:13)
  • Best late-round investment; handcuff with touchdown upside.

---

2. Winners and Losers – Depth Chart Shifts

• Jalen Warren (Steelers RB) as “Loser”
  • Addition of Rico Dowdle (2 yrs/$12.25 mil) complicates the backfield.
  • Heath: "[Warren] goes from that low end RB2 status to more of a flex for now." (07:57)
  • Uncertainty over who will lead in carries; consensus slightly favors Warren for his receiving ability.
• Garrett Wilson (Jets WR) vs. Luther Burden (Rookie WR)
  • Dave: “I still have Wilson ahead of Burden.” (07:52)
  • General expectation is Wilson remains a premium pick over rookie receivers, pending camp reports.

---

3. RB1 Debate: Bijan Robinson vs. Jameer Gibbs

• Key Twitter Polls:
  • Full PPR: Bijan Robinson gets 62% over Gibbs (11:03)
  • Panel Take: Both Bijan and Gibbs are seen as Tier 1 backs; Gibbs slightly edges Bijan in Heath & Dave’s rankings, but situation remains fluid.
    • Jamie: “… the last week or so has been more favorable for Bijan than it has for Gibbs because Gibbs at least got some competition. Gibbs’ offensive line has gotten worse… quarterback situation for Bijan has improved…” (12:07)
  • Goal-Line Touches & Recap:
    • Detroit RBs: 43 goal line carries in 2 years (most in NFL).
    • Gibbs: 13 rushing TDs on only 4 goal line carries.
    • Bijan: 103 targets last year, Gibbs 94.
  • Bottom Line: Both are excellent; Gibbs (for now) is RB1 for Heath, Dave, and Jamie, but the margin is razor-thin.

---

4. Twitter Poll Rapid Fire — WR & RB Battles

• Half-PPR WR Poll: Mike Evans (60%) dominates over Chris Godwin and Wondale Robinson.
  • Heath: "People are wrong all the time." (14:36)
• Half-PPR RB Poll: Ken Walker (52%) clobbers Kyren Williams, Derrick Henry, and Javonte Williams.
  • Jamie: "He's the shiny new toy going to a great team, you know, so there's, there's a lot to love about [Ken Walker]." (15:37)
• Cardinals Backfield Poll: Tyler Allgeier (68.4%) dominates over James Conner and Trey Benson.
  • Dave: “I'm struggling with Connor versus Algier.” (21:04)
  • Consensus is that Allgeier is the likely fantasy pick, but the backfield carries a "see results" sentiment (dubious excitement).

---

5. Quick Hitters & Notable Moments

• Romeo Doubs Draft Range/Comparisons: Put in the round 7–8 range, alongside Wondale Robinson and slightly behind players like Christian Watson and Jacoby Myers.
  • Jamie: “Round seven is probably where I would look for him." (26:00)
• Rashid Shaheed to the Seahawks:
  • Jamie: “... not the best receiver that I think will fit this system, but he certainly can stretch the field and make plays.” (31:36)
  • Not considered a top-50 fantasy wide out; matters more for NFL than fantasy unless return yardage is rewarded.
• Tight End Moves: Greg Dulcich to Dolphins and Noah Fant to the Saints discussed; neither seen as fantasy-relevant outside of deep-league speculation (33:23).

Notable Quotes

• Jamey (on Doubs): "There's a huge opportunity for him here to have a career season and hopefully be a, I don't know, must start fantasy wide receiver. But in the conversation in three receiver leagues for sure." (03:03)
• Heath (on Wilson & Geno): "I did not move Garrett Wilson. I think this is very much the same situation that Garrett Wilson's been in almost his entire career." (04:51)
• Jamie (on Gibbs/Bijan): “It's, it's, it still gives for now, but I think the, the last week or so has been more favorable for Bijan than it has for Gibbs because Gibbs at least got some competition. Gibbs offensive line has gotten worse and I think the quarterback situation for Bijan has improved..." (12:07)
• Jamie (on the Doubs signing): “It’s a matter of, like, was this somebody that they made a conscious effort to target to go get, or is this who they settled for because A.J. brown and Brian Thomas weren’t going to be traded...” (28:27)
• Dave (on Rashid Shaheed): "Not a top 50 wide receiver." (32:46)
• Jamie (on Allgeier): "I don't try. Benson is basically see results because nobody's going to draft him." (21:39)

Final Thoughts

• Day two of free agency felt underwhelming, with most major moves carrying moderate rather than seismic fantasy value.
• The RB1 debate is wide open and will be hotly contested all summer; Gibbs and Bijan are nearly interchangeable in analyst rankings.
• Romeo Doubs is the biggest “winner” of the day for fantasy but carries some skepticism depending on New England’s next steps.
• Uncertainty remains in several backfields (Steelers, Cardinals) and WR corps (Patriots, Seahawks), making upcoming pre-season and camp reports crucial.

[Heath]

It's time to dominate your fantasy league.

[Adam]

Off to the races and he stays on his feet. Chris is gonna go the distance.

[Heath]

Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie and Heath.

[Adam]

Holy cow. Geno Smith to the Jets, Isaiah Pacheco to the Lions. Free agency day two. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show. It's fantasy football today. Greg Dulcich, the guy who had 41 or more yards in four of his last five games back to the Dolphins. So a lot to talk about. Welcome to the show. It's fantasy football today with Dave, Jamie, Heath and me. I'm Adam. What Dave problems.

[Dave]

You're not even naming the biggest free agency signing of day two so far. And that's Romeo Dobbs to the Patriots.

[Adam]

Yeah, got. I don't, I didn't see the guaranteed money, but very similar contract to Wanda Robinson, around four years and $80 million. Romeo Dobbs to the Patriots, Rico Dowdle. Something that happened yesterday, but after we were on the air. Rico Dowdle, two years, $12.25 million to the Steelers. So all that talk about Jalen Warren outperforming Bucky Irving maybe was a little premature. Yeah, gone. Anyway, let's get Jamie. Do you have a big winner or big loser from. Not necessarily day two, but since the last time we spoke, I guess it

[Jamie]

would be Romeo Dobbs. I mean, you know, he's getting an opportunity to replace Stefan Diggs and be the, at least as of now, the number one receiver for Drake May and the Patriots. And if you just look at the. The role he's stepping into and the targets that he's replacing. Diggs averaged six targets a game last year for the Patriots, and romeo Dobbs had eight games last year with at least six targets. He averaged over 16 PPR points per game in those eight games. So there's a huge opportunity for him here to have a career season and hopefully be a, I don't know, must start fantasy wide receiver. But in the conversation in three receiver leagues for sure.

[Adam]

Dave, how about you? Big winner or loser?

[Dave]

I'll say that Garrett Wilson's a loser with Geno Smith going to New York. Geno was pretty good a couple years ago in Seattle. He's had some great numbers with the receivers there. Last year, not so much. Not that he had dynamic receivers in Vegas, but I, I just, I don't know how good of a Pastor Geno Smith is going to be. And if he struggles. We saw last year the jets gave a quarterback the hook early in the middle of the year. Will they do it again? And Garrett Wilson, for what it's worth, he's shown us flashes for a while and then he ends up not being good by the time the season's over. So I'm a little hesitant to call him a top 12 fantasy wide receiver. And I don't know how many of you guys were anyway, but I, I think he's much easier to accept as a number two wide receiver with Gino as his quarterback.

[Adam]

If I know anything about Heath Cummings after working for him, working with him for how much? What, 10 years? 12? I don't even know.

[Heath]

I think we are at 11 next week.

[Adam]

Heath likes this for Garrett Wilson.

[Heath]

I did not move Garrett Wilson. I think this is very much the same situation that Garrett Wilson's been in almost his entire career.

[Jamie]

I agree.

[Dave]

Where did you have them? Or where do you have them? I guess is probably the best question.

[Heath]

16.

[Dave]

Yeah. So I must have Been the high guy. On Garrett Wilson. Before free agency started, what was the

[Heath]

quarterback that you were anticipating that you were going to be?

[Dave]

I don't know.

[Adam]

I was just.

[Dave]

I was just figuring it would be somebody a little bit more exciting than Gino. And. And I. I would say that Gino's an upgrade over what he had last year. And what did he do last year? 14.2 ppr points per game. Which, given the.

[Adam]

You have to hazer stat that. Because he left.

[Dave]

Yeah, sure, right. Because in the beginning of the year, he was awesome. First.

[Adam]

No, he. He played. He barely played one of the games. He left one of the games. He only played six healthy games. And in those games, he was a

[Jamie]

nice PPR point guy.

[Adam]

With Justin Fields, he was wide receiver 10 per game in the first six games of the week, which included getting shut down by Patrick certain. Three catches for 13 yards the first five games of the season. Forget it. He was amazing, and he did that the first six games of the year. Garrett Wilson, wide receiver, 10 per game. His quarterbacks were on pace for 2, 9, 81 yards and 20 touchdowns. Geno Smith was really bad last year, and he blew that away. He was on pace for 3,428 yards, which is bad, and 22 touchdowns with 19 interceptions. The jets quarterbacks are only on pace for three interceptions. The picks are obviously concerning, but, you know, Geno Smith. Let me just tell you what. And I'm not disagreeing with you, Dave, necessarily. Geno Smith's 35 years old. He's gonna be 36. But just. I'll tell you what his wide receivers have done in. In 2022, Tyler Lockett was wide receiver 16 per game, while DK Metcalf was wide receiver 24 per game. 2023, Metcalf was 23rd per game. Lockett was 41st per game. In 2024, JSN was wide receiver 22 per game, and Metcalf was 32 per game. And last year, Brock Bowers was white, was tight end four per game and was on pace for a thousand yards and 11 touchdowns in 11 healthy games.

[Jamie]

With Geno Smith, what was Trey Tucker.

[Adam]

Yeah, Trey Tucker had 696 yards and five touchdowns in 17 games. But we've never had a wide receiver finish higher than wide receiver 16. With Geno Smith, however, there was always. There were always two guys. It was always either Metcalf and Lockett or JSN and Metcalf. It's not. He's not that good, but. But that production right there is not so bad. In fact, he was top 12 reason yards per game three straigh years before last year.

[Dave]

Yeah. All the more reason to view G or not. Gino. Garrett Wilson is more of like the 15th wide receiver amongst the position when you go into your drafts. Not a top 12 guy.

[Adam]

All right, but you see the difference though, right? Is he doesn't have a Tyler Lockett getting 100 targets, doesn't have a JSN. You know what? He's, he's, he's it.

[Jamie]

I think if Wilson stays healthy, he'll probably end up being good value, assuming his ADP is probably in that round four range.

[Adam]

All right.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Okay. Garrett Wilson or Luther Burden?

[Dave]

I still have Wilson ahead of Burden.

[Adam]

Hey, Heath, who's a winner or loser for you?

[Heath]

I think Jalen Warren is a loser. Maybe not relative to what he ended up in last year with Kenneth Gainwell, but relative to the opportunity of having this backfield. I mean, the big losers, Caleb Johnson, it might be over for him, but I think with the connection that Mike McCarthy has with Rico Dowdle and I think McCarthy's pretty fond of Rico Dowdle, this could very well turn into a situation where Rico Dowdle has more rush attempts on a per game basis than Jalen Warren. So I, I think he goes from that low end RB2 status to more of a flex for now.

[Adam]

Last season, Warren was the number 19 running back per game with only 40 catches in 16 games. Because Kenneth Gainwell led the team and he led the team in receptions. Right. Gain.

[Jamie]

Well, he had a 73.

[Heath]

Strangest thing that I saw when looking at these guys last night was that Rico Dowell has more targets each of the last two years than Jalen.

[Adam]

Weren't really played more.

[Jamie]

2024, Warren missed a few games.

[Adam]

He missed two. He played 15 in 2024. He missed one game in 2025 and it was his best year. But he lost his third down role. He's almost certainly going to get that back this year. But now first and second down will be. I don't know who's going to lead the team in carries. Best guess. What do you think?

[Jamie]

I would still say Jalen Warren, but it's probably going to be close.

[Dave]

I bet it varies from week to week and that's going to be real close to call between the two.

[Heath]

Yeah, I've got worn by just a touch.

[Adam]

Okay.

[Dave]

But I think I'd rather have worn for the receiving chops. But they're both maybe right in that range he talked about.

[Adam]

All right. Well, you know, last. Yesterday was so fun. Today boring. Yeah, pretty much. You know, we still have Tyree Kill, we still have Kyler Murray. So Juwan Jennings out there, maybe, maybe they'll get signed.

[Heath]

You need to get excited about Isaiah Pacheco.

[Adam]

Yeah. You know what, I think it's, now's a good time to maybe look at some Twitter polls. So it's kind of interesting is last week David Montgomery was traded to the Texans and a big piece of that run game is gone. And now Jameer Gibbs, number one overall, you're talking about even if we maybe you had him there to begin with, but I didn't. Now Tyler Algier is gone as well. We didn't talk too much about that yesterday. He's with Arizona. So I did a Twitter poll. Who you taking first? I think it said in full ppr, Bijan Robinson or Jameer Gibbs? Now I did this before the Pacheco signing. I'm going to guess about half these votes, 646 votes. About half of them before the Pacheco signing, half of them after the Pacheco signing because I looked there were some 300 something when, when the news broke. That doesn't mean that everybody knew about it when they voted. But even still Bijan was crushing Gibbs. He's got 62% of the vote to 38% in PPR. Who you drafting first, Bijan or Gibbs? And you know, the numbers are really similar. They were then were within a half a point of each other last year and you look at Algerian Montgomery and they had fairly similar numbers too. So it's almost like they're losing kind of the same guy. But yeah, I was a little surprised teeth by these results that Bijan getting 62% of the vote even before the Pacheco news. What's your take on, on this whole on Gibbs with pacheco and who's RB1?

[Heath]

I don't think Isaiah Pacheco matters for Jameer Gibbs and I think like 60, 40, you have to choose one of them. So that's not that big of a gap. I currently have Gibbs ahead of Bijan, but they're both obviously fantastic and Both could score 22 fantasy points a game next year.

[Adam]

Dave, who are you taking first, Bijan

[Dave]

or Gibbs now still have Gibbs first, but it's extremely close between the two of them. Jamie, I, I don't want to pick third in drafts this year.

[Jamie]

It's, it's, it still gives for now, but I think the, the last week or so has been more favorable for Bijan than it has for Gibbs because Gibbs at least got some competition. Gibbs offensive line has gotten worse and I think the quarterback situation for Bijan has improved because Tua has been very good in throwing to his running backs during Devon Hn the last two years.

[Adam]

That's a good point. Over the last two seasons, the Detroit Lions running backs as a whole have averaged 28.16 fantasy points per game. That is number one by about four and a half points. They have been by far the most productive backfield in fantasy. In full PPR. Buffalo is two. I didn't. I don't know who number three is. Sorry. But Atlanta's four. Atlanta's four at 23 fantasy points per game. What really blows me away though is Detroit has 43 goal line carries in the last two years. Atlanta has 29. So just a lot more opportunities, a lot more scoring opportunities. But you know, Bijan's been more carries and more catches. I'm pretty sure two straight years. Definitely last year. More catches. Yeah, I think two straight years more carries and more catches than Jameer Gibbs.

[Jamie]

I mean, b. John had 103 targets last year. You know, that's amazing.

[Adam]

Yeah, Gibbs wasn't too far behind. What did Gibbs have last year? He had 94 targets in 17 games last year. Bijan had 103. Just very similar seasons in those two backfields, I'd say. And I mentioned this a couple, I think last week. Yeah. David Montgomery had 13 of 17 goal line carries for the Lions. Jameer Gibbs had four goal line carries and he still scored 13 rushing touchdowns last year. Shaver, let's scroll up and take a look at another Twitter poll. Let's see what's next. Which one are we going to? Who would you draft first and half ppr? See, I told you guys you were crazy.

[Heath]

We were talking about full people who.

[Adam]

Kate. Fine, you know what? You think it's enough? You think that's enough?

[Heath]

It doesn't matter. I mean, one day might catch 40 more passes than Mike Evans. That doesn't really change the the poll at all. I would agree with these results that in half PPR I would also take Mittens first.

[Adam]

Mike Evans, Wandale Robinson or Chris Godwin. Evans getting 60% of the vote followed by Godwin. Then Wanda close behind Godwin. But it's such a blowout that I really think if I put full ppr it would still be Evans. So take that.

[Heath]

Might be people are wrong all the time.

[Adam]

How about Godwin over Wondale at half ppr?

[Heath]

According to voters, your anti Wondale propaganda has been very successful.

[Adam]

Brian Dabel wasn't listening to me. I think I have a couple more Twitter polls there. See what else we got. We've got. Who would you draft first in half ppr? Ken Walker, Javante Williams, Derrick Henry, or Kyron Williams.

[Jamie]

Why you do that to Javante?

[Adam]

I looked at some fantasy pros, like industry rankings, and he was in that group, so I put him there. Ken Walker, Javante Williams, Derek Henry or KYRON WILLIAMS? Half PPR. It is not even close. Ken Walker with 52% of the vote. Next is Kyron Williams at 22%. Derrick Henry, 19%, Javante Williams, 7% Jamie, what do you make of how lopsided that is with Ken Walker? Like blowing away Kyren Williams and Derrick Henry and Javante?

[Jamie]

I mean, it makes sense. He's the shiny new toy going to a great team, you know, so there's, there's a lot to love about, especially what he just did, you know, with the Seahawks in the postseason. So it's not that surprising, especially when you put in Derek Henry, who people are scared of because his age and everybody hates Kyron Williams. And then you just did that to Javante and he's just disrespectful.

[Adam]

What did I do?

[Jamie]

So, not a surprise. I would take Ken Walker over these guys, too, but it's, it's, it's a little surprising that, that much.

[Adam]

I got to take a break here, guys. We'll, we'll get back to the day's events and more. We'll talk about Rashid Shahid. I wanted to talk about the Cardinals backfield a little bit more and, yeah, and more after this.

[Adam]

I had a thought about Isaiah Pacheco.

[Heath]

Yeah?

[Adam]

I thought maybe if he ended up in the right spot, maybe he could be the next Javante Williams guy who like maybe looked like he'd be done, but two years removed from a serious, serious injury, regained his form and got an opportunity. People were. Remember how excited people were about Jaden Blue because they didn't take Javante seriously at all. So I thought maybe if Pacheco ended up in the right spot, he could, he could be that. I think best case scenario now is maybe Gibbs misses a few games and he goes in and plays well and gets a bet. I don't. Is it a one year deal? I didn't even see that. I tried to find the contract.

[Jamie]

I haven't released the terms yet.

[Adam]

Yeah, I don't know what it is, but he's not. I don't think he's reviving his career.

[Heath]

The big difference there is the pedigree between Williams and Pacheco.

[Jamie]

Right.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Well, I mean you want him to be Javante Williams. I take David Montgomery. I mean if he could be that for Detroit, I don't think he will. But I mean you're talking about a guy who scored 33 touchdowns in three seasons. Like if he can have that opportunity and maybe get. Look, Montgomery had at least 180 some odd touches each of the three years he was in Detroit, it'd be shocking if Pacheco gets that. But if he's 150 carry 150 touch guy and six, seven touchdowns for the season, like where you're going to draft him, that's pretty good. And then like you said, if Gibbs misses a game or two, then he does step into that role as the lead guy there. Number two fantasy running back for those weeks. Like he's a good late round investment.

[Adam]

By the way, if you're wondering is Jameer Gibbs just not that good at the goal line? Actually no, he's amazing. He's had 20 carries from anybody who was wondering that.

[Heath]

I wonder if anyone had ever has ever wondered that.

[Adam]

Well now you know, 20 carries from the three yarder closer. He has scored on 14 of them. I would have to bet that Jameer Gibbs is one of the best touchdown percentages from the three yard liner closer in the NFL.

[Jamie]

There's ever like a Dan Campbell guy. It's Isaiah Pacheco like just runs angry. He'll get a lot of fourth down opportunities.

[Adam]

He sure does. Okay.

[Dave]

I think Montgomery was more of that guy.

[Jamie]

Sure.

[Adam]

Who would you rather draft, David Montgomery or Jaylen Warren?

[Jamie]

Montgomery.

[Heath]

Yes.

[Dave]

In.

[Adam]

In all form in full ppr,

[Dave]

especially half in non ppr.

[Adam]

Yeah. Okay. All right. Last, last Twitter poll. I just wanted to get into the Cardinals backfield. Which Cardinals running back will you draft first? James Connor, Tyler Algier or Trey Benson?

[Dave]

I'm glad you did this one.

[Adam]

No, you're not.

[Dave]

No, I am because I'm struggling with Connor versus Algier.

[Adam]

Well, the people are not. 803 votes, 68.4% preferred Tyler Algier. Then 22.4% Connor, 9.2% Trey Benson.

[Heath]

Ever there was a place for see results on a poll. Like someone could very much want to say I would not draft them at all. And what could they, what do they do here?

[Adam]

They just. How can you be in that group and not be able to say who you would take first?

[Jamie]

I don't try. Benson is basically see results because nobody's going to draft him.

[Adam]

Trey Benson's their most explosive running back

[Heath]

and there are still Trey Benson truthers out there.

[Dave]

Yeah, clearly it's easy for him.

[Adam]

I'm not, I wouldn't say I'm a Trey Benson truther. I would just say I'd still like to see what he's capable of. You know he, he did a pretty good job in, in week four. You know we scored like 14 points against the Seahawks and That was it. So he showed he could catch some passes. He scored. Sorry. He scored 10.4 fantasy points on 13 touches against the Seahawks, but he had 5 catches. Didn't really do much, but.

[Heath]

Can we. Can we play my game now?

[Adam]

Yeah, sure.

[Heath]

Okay. This is gonna be a fun game. I want to thank Sam Block for putting this on Twitter. So. Don't look at Twitter. He counts. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. About 20 quarter X that have started for the jets since Geno Smith started for the Jets. Okay, so these are all the sandwich quarterbacks between Geno Smith and Geno Smith.

[Dave]

Sandwich.

[Heath]

Let's go, Adam, Jamie, Dave. Name one. First one that can't is out.

[Adam]

Oh, me first. Justin Fields.

[Heath]

Justin Fields.

[Adam]

Good.

[Jamie]

Sam Darnold. Yep.

[Dave]

Todd Taylor.

[Adam]

Oh, I was gonna say him.

[Dave]

I'm just stealing your move.

[Adam]

Oh, Tim Boyle.

[Heath]

Tim Boyle's correct.

[Jamie]

Brady Cook.

[Heath]

Brady Cook is correct.

[Dave]

Joe Flacco.

[Heath]

Joe Flacco is correct.

[Dave]

No, I'm not.

[Adam]

I'm struggling. Zach Wilson.

[Heath]

Zach Wilson is correct.

[Jamie]

Josh Johnson.

[Adam]

Is that correct? Heath. Josh Johnson. Okay, I think about it.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Now I'm.

[Dave]

Now I'm struggling.

[Adam]

Come out. Yeah.

[Dave]

I'm blanking.

[Adam]

Boring.

[Heath]

Three, two, one.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Dave]

I'm not giving you an answer. We're wasting everybody's time.

[Heath]

Mike White Thomas is in the game for Dave.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Adam]

No, I'm not. For me, I'm not even gonna bother. There's so many easy ones left. I know, but I'm so bad at this kind of stuff. Let me see. Okay, hold on. Give me. Give me five seconds here.

[Heath]

Four, three.

[Adam]

Don't count out loud. That's so rude. I do that during the feud. I know all the time. Yeah. I've got nothing. Jamie, can you name one more for the win?

[Jamie]

No.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Okay.

[Heath]

So would you like the names now?

[Adam]

Yeah. That.

[Heath]

You didn't guess. Matt Sims. Michael Vick. Ryan Fitzpatrick. Bryce Petty. Josh McCown. Trevor Simeon. Luke Falk. Chris Struggler. Aaron Rodgers. Christian Hackenberg. So I. I think that's just a fun game. And also my pushback against Dave, saying that Geno Smith is a downgrade for Garrett Wilson.

[Dave]

Fair point.

[Adam]

But the thing about, like, I guess I haven't looked. Let's look right now. Garrett Wilson's yards per target in his four seasons. No, it wasn't even that good. So how was he so good last year?

[Heath]

He had.

[Dave]

He had almost. He had over nine targets per game

[Adam]

every year of his career. It was. It's a touchdown. It must have been the touchdowns he had. 4 and 7 games. He had he said 4 and 17. 3 and 17. 7 and 17 and 4 and 7 is that.

[Heath]

And 2024 was by far his highest catch rate. Which catch rate factors into yards per target. Probably better catch rate because he was playing with Aaron Rodgers.

[Adam]

Yeah, but yeah, I'm just, you know, with Garrett Wilson, he had had 147, 168 and 154 targets every year of his career. And he had never really been that good for fantasy. And he finally was this past year with four touchdowns, really, in six games. Like I said, I mean, the seventh game he barely played. Four touchdowns in six games will do it for you. Okay, let's talk about Romeo Dobbs. Give me around Jamie, where you draft Romeo Dobbs?

[Jamie]

Very similar in. In the same range. We were talking about Wanda Robinson yesterday. You know, you're looking at again, big opportunity right now. So round seven is probably where I would look for him. You know, Diggs was just over 14 PPR points per game last year. I think Dobbs can get there. That'd be a career high for him, but I think he can get there. So hopefully we get career season for him. And it's all contingent on the Patriots not doing anything else. Because if they don't do anything else, his competition for targets is Mack Hollins and Keisha Booty and Kyle Williams right now. So I think Dobbs can step into that role. And again last year, six, eight games with at least six targets, he averaged over 16 PPR points per game in that stretch. So I think he's got a lot more to offer than what he's shown in Green Bay so far.

[Heath]

I've got him one spot behind one deal. So I agree completely with. Right in the same range, Dave.

[Dave]

I got him a tier below and it's not because of talent. I think he's very talented. It was fun to actually go back and watch some of his reps from last year. Remember, what's the biggest problem that we have with the packers offense? They spread the ball around so much. I think that'll still be the case to a degree in New England. Keep in mind, Stefan Diggs led that team in targets last year. He had 100 targets over the course of the year. Don't ask me if he played all 17 games.

[Jamie]

I don't know.

[Dave]

So it.

[Adam]

It.

[Dave]

There's no guarantee that Dobbs is going to be in line for seven plus targets per game, but somewhere between. If he's north of 6, I think that's a career high for him. I think he was right around like five and a half pretty much every year in Green Bay. So I'd be willing to give him another full target per game, and that'll obviously puff up his numbers, but I still think we can do a little bit better than that in that round seven range than Romeo Dobbs. So I'd probably take him in round eight.

[Adam]

What do you make of the fact that this may not matter at all, but Stefan Diggs was their slot guy, and Romeo Dobbs has about a 12% slot rate. He basically never plays in the slot. So, Dave, what do you think that looks like for the Patriots?

[Dave]

I don't think they're going to wedge him in anywhere. I think. I think the nice thing about Dobbs is he can win at all three levels. And he's. He's a smooth route runner. He's got very good hands, he's got great quickness, and he's versatile. He can line up inside or outside. I would guess they would keep him outside more often than inside.

[Adam]

Okay.

[Jamie]

It's a matter of, like, was this somebody that they made a conscious effort to target to go get, or is this who they settled for because A.J. brown and Brian Thomas weren't going to be traded and they couldn't get Alec Pierce because his price was too high and the Colts weren't gonna let him go.

[Adam]

So is. Who's a bigger winner today, Christian Watson or Romeo Dobby?

[Dave]

Draft Watson ahead of Dobbs, if that's what you're at.

[Heath]

Yeah, I would, too.

[Dave]

It's close, though.

[Heath]

But I wasn't. I. I didn't really move Watson because I.

[Jamie]

We were.

[Heath]

I wasn't expecting Dobbs to be back.

[Jamie]

Right.

[Dave]

Yeah, right.

[Adam]

It's actually. If you look at Dobbs this season, he.

[Jamie]

He.

[Adam]

When Watson came back, he got a lot fewer targets. He's on pace for about 80 targets when Watson was playing. All right, let me throw out the wide receivers who went in round seven in our latest draft, and you tell me, would you take Romeo Dobbs or this guy? Now, remember, this was before the DJ Moore trade. So first guy is Roma Dunze.

[Dave]

Yes.

[Adam]

Jacoby Myers or Romeo Dobbs?

[Jamie]

Jacoby Dobbs.

[Dave]

I have Myers just ahead of Dobbs.

[Jamie]

That's assuming Brian Thomas is still on the team, correct?

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Adam]

A report today that they are not looking to trade Brian Thomas, even though there was report yesterday that they might be looking to trade Brian.

[Jamie]

Yeah, that's called somebody from the team reaching out to Chefter and saying, hey, can you say this please?

[Adam]

Michael Wilson or Romeo Dobbs?

[Jamie]

Dops,

[Adam]

What'd you say Heath Doves. Dave.

[Dave]

I kind of like Wilson.

[Adam]

Like Wilson.

[Jamie]

All right.

[Adam]

And Tyree Kill

[Jamie]

tbd.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Adam]

All right. That's it.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Then.

[Adam]

There's actually Mike Evans. Mike Evans and Alec Pierce with Romeo Dobbs just before.

[Jamie]

Dobbs.

Why have we asked our contractor we found on Angie.com to be our kid's legal guardian because he took such good care when redoing our basement that we knew we could trust him to care for our kids.

[Heath]

We only met a month ago.

[Adam]

Angie, the one you trust to find the ones you trust. Find pros for all your home [e-mail] Rasheed Shahid. This is a lot of money behind. Yeah, but you know, look, he's shown he's better than what he was with Seattle. I mean he mid season trade did basically nothing other than great in the return game. They gave him three years. 51 million with 34.7 million guaranteed. Jamie, what do you think about Shahid back to the Seahawks?

[Jamie]

I don't love it, but I understand why they did it. I mean they obviously gave up draft capital to go get him and he was a big part of their overall team success. He's a difference maker and special team. So that's huge, you know, for what he was able to accomplish for them and hopefully still be able to accomplish. He's obviously not the best receiver that I think will fit this system, but he certainly can stretch the field and make plays. I hate it because I like I wanted to see Tori Horton get a opportunity which may not come now barring a potential Cooper cup injury or Shahid injury, but feels like that's going to be their three receivers to open the season behind jsn. And so Tory Horton may not get a chance to, you know, get more playing time or more targets, but I understand the move from the Seahawks standpoint. He's just not going to be a great fantasy asset going into the season barring some significant change either. He didn't pick up the system quickly enough and they didn't use him on offense to the degree that maybe the Saints did or at least have in the past.

[Adam]

But.

[Jamie]

But I just don't think that Rashid Shahid is going to be as good of a fantasy asset as he was in New Orleans per se the last two years.

[Adam]

Anyone have any thoughts on Shaheed? We can move on.

[Heath]

I think it's great for the Seahawks and unless you're in a return yardage league, I don't really care for fantasy.

[Dave]

Not a top 50 wide receiver.

[Adam]

I don't think you should be in a return yardage league.

[Heath]

I love return yardage leagues. Got a couple of them.

[Adam]

Wait. I had a new idea for a. For a fantasy playoff format. It was really great, but I don't

[Dave]

think I remember how timely.

[Adam]

Day two. Bad. Boring. Just like not much to talk about. He was really wanted to talk about Greg Dulcich to the Dolphins.

[Heath]

Very exciting. Maybe their second target.

[Adam]

It may be. How about Noah Fant going to the Saints? Does that matter at all for Juwan Johnson?

[Jamie]

Noah, thank you.

[Heath]

I don't think it. Probably. Maybe it's a tiny ding, but no.

[Adam]

Arizona.

[Dave]

Was Joanne Johnson drafted in our early mocks?

[Adam]

Let's see. Johnson. No. But Caleb was.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

No.

[Adam]

You know, there's another. Really. There's a. Another free agent out there, Dallas Goddard, still waiting for him to get signed. He's good.

[Heath]

And Zach Ertz.

[Adam]

Yeah, he's too old and he's hurt.

[Dave]

He's coming off of an injury.

[Adam]

Let's see. We got Taekwond Thornton back to the Chiefs. We got Kendrick Bourne to Arizona.

[Jamie]

Mm.

[Adam]

You know, the Texans have made some moves on their offensive line because not before free agency started. They had traded Juice Scruggs, they had traded Titus Howard, but they signed Ed Ingram. They resigned Ed Ingram, they resigned Trent Brown or their tackle. And they today they got Braden Smith, Colts right tackle, two year, $25 million deal. So that's good. I don't know if we talked about the Patriots getting Elijah Vera Tucker, but that could potentially not.

[Jamie]

That happened last night, so we wouldn't have talked about it.

[Adam]

Yeah, that's what I thought. That. That could potentially be pretty impactful. He's good when he's healthy.

[Jamie]

He's just. It's a great gamble. He's. He's fantastic when he's healthy. He just has not stayed healthy his entire career.

[Adam]

Okay. Very. One of my favorite signings was for the Giants was Jermaine, their right tackle. Jermaine Illuminor. 3 year, $39 million with 26 million guaranteed for starting a good starting right tackle. That was a hell of a deal. And that's been most of it. Really hasn't been that much this cycle, but hopefully we'll have more headlines for you tomorrow. All right, Good show, guys.

[Heath]

Free agency kicks off tomorrow.

[Jamie]

What?

[Heath]

Officially?

[Jamie]

Oh, right.

[Adam]

All right. Talk about it all again, then maybe

[Heath]

somebody will back out.

[Adam]

That'd be fun.

[Dave]

It's happened before.

[Jamie]

Who would back out? Let's see.

[Heath]

Most likely to back out. It has to be from yesterday.

[Adam]

It's. It's Cordell Flot.

[Dave]

I want to go back to naming jets quarterback.

[Heath]

Can't believe you guys missed Aaron Rodgers.

[Dave]

That's the silliest thing I.

[Adam]

Have a great day, everybody. Honestly, I don't know that we will definitely have a show tomorrow. But whenever I'd say Kyler Tyreek, maybe Goddard, Juwan Jennings, whenever these guys do end up signing or, you know, reportedly signing, we'll have a show. Diggs. Yes. That. Yeah, you know what?

[Dave]

They they're gonna stop the world for Stefan Diggs.

[Adam]

We're gonna do a podcast. I don't know if we're gonna stop the world, but I think we'll do a podcast for all right, thanks, everybody. Yeah, sure. Talk to you next time on Fantasy Football.
