Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.
Mike Wright
Welcome in, Andy, Mike and Jason, the Fantasy Footballers. Back with you.
Jason Moore
Andy is tickled.
Mike Wright
Well, I just. If we hit the button where, you know Al Borland, the producer extraordinaire, he's just like. It's like, are we ready to go? Let's go. Let's get the show started. And then he just throws back a meat stick. I just. It made me laugh.
Jason Moore
Currently chewing.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Jason Moore
How are you doing, Owl?
Mike Wright
Doing great.
Andy Holloway
You waited till that moment.
Mike Wright
He waited till that moment. That's why it was funny to me. I think Josh, Papa Josh has set a precedent that you can eat a meat stick anytime. Typically, we've got, like, 30 seconds at the top of the show before anything is thrown our way. Oh, so you thought I wouldn't throw? I thought it was my window.
Jason Moore
You know, you could. Your window could also be before.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. You've had a window of, like, hours.
Mike Wright
Oh, man.
Jason Moore
Too busy getting ready for this awesome show.
Mike Wright
Nice save. Tuesday, March 17th. Jason Moore is here.
Jason Moore
Happy to be back.
Mike Wright
Back in the building. You didn't miss nothing.
Jason Moore
Yeah. Anything happened in the NFL while I was Gone.
Mike Wright
All Mike's dreams came true with Ken Walker.
Andy Holloway
Some.
Mike Wright
Some Romeo Dobbs. All of his dreams were shattered with Trey Benson and Ben Sennett.
Andy Holloway
The big dreams worked out.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
The smaller dreams is not as much.
Mike Wright
You have to sacrifice. We know that. Cmc. He had to drain the life of all of his teammates.
Andy Holloway
And I get like Trey Benson. I guess if that's how it has to go for Ken Walker to fly.
Mike Wright
Right.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
Sorry, buddy.
Jason Moore
You're going to take that deal.
Andy Holloway
Sorry, my guy.
Mike Wright
Get your applications out. Lord sacrifice, welcome in one and all. We have a very important episode today. It is our coaching changes episode. We're going to talk through, kind of zoom out a little bit, talk through all of the big hires and changes. It'll give us another chance to talk about the Cardinals for a second. Jason. I just hate them.
Jason Moore
I'm so happy to hear that, man. They are just.
Mike Wright
I just hate them.
Andy Holloway
I don't have a care.
Jason Moore
Hate them from the top down.
Mike Wright
Mike is just living in some sort of. They can study this in books.
Andy Holloway
What he's doing to his mind now. We're good man.
Mike Wright
So who's your team in 2026? Mike?
Andy Holloway
Don't have one.
Mike Wright
Okay.
Andy Holloway
Don't need.
Mike Wright
Okay. New approach. Don't need one.
Andy Holloway
Actually. No. Correction. Borrows McLemonade.
Jason Moore
Ah, his fantasy team.
Mike Wright
That is one of the helpful things. And everyone out there can know this, especially those that are fans of the Cardinals, the Browns, the jets, the Falcons. Yes, I'm including the Falcons now. Oh, the Raiders. If you're a fan of those teams, you always have your fantasy team to distract you. It is a massive difference. Since I started playing fantasy 10, 15 years ago, my days were ruined by the Cardinals. Now I do. I hide behind my fantasy team.
Jason Moore
Now your days are ruined by your fantasy team.
Mike Wright
Yeah, that's fair.
Jason Moore
It's way better.
Mike Wright
But yeah, we got a big important episode today. We do have some news to catch you up on. Stuff we haven't had a chance on the show to talk about yet and we'll get right to it. Ultimate DraftKit.com if you want the UDK preorder the Dynasty pass. You want to check that out? Lowest possible price right now@ultimate draftkit.com I do not believe we're including any complimentary meat sticks in the UDK this year. Although we will consider that as long as AL pays for them. Into the news we go.
Jason Moore
News and notes from around the league.
Mike Wright
But we have not had the chance on the show to talk about the signing of Kyler Murray. Mike And I had the Thursday show. I think we inferred that, you know, we knew that Kyler was traveling.
Andy Holloway
It was the most probable situation.
Mike Wright
So it ends up being a one year deal that includes a no tag clause. So they can't like start him and do well and then tag him for next year. They'd have to sign him to a contract.
Andy Holloway
That was smart by Murray.
Jason Moore
Very, very smart. Because that's exactly what I would do if I was the Vikings.
Andy Holloway
Yes.
Jason Moore
Get a great year out of them and then be like, haha, gotcha.
Mike Wright
Well, I bet they wish they had done that with Sam Darnold.
Andy Holloway
Sure.
Mike Wright
In hindsight. But the Vikings, all of the public comments, all of the Kevin o' Connell discussions, all of the, you know, perspective they want us to adopt is that JJ McCarthy and Kyler Murray will have the opportunity to equally compete for the starting job, which I think is true.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Mike Wright
Ish.
Jason Moore
Yeah. No, it's. The opportunity is there. The ability is not really a competition.
Mike Wright
It's like when Papa Josh and the Falcon did the foot race thing. It's like you have a chance, right? Yeah, you have the chance to win, but.
Jason Moore
But one of you turns out so slow.
Mike Wright
Very slow. So really an open competition. We'll let you figure out who that was.
Jason Moore
Well, I mean, we would all assume it's Papa Josh because of the age, because he's so old.
Mike Wright
Right.
Andy Holloway
It's not.
Jason Moore
He won.
Mike Wright
It's not.
Andy Holloway
Just, just remember there is a chance. It's very small. There is a chance Kyler loses the competition.
Mike Wright
It is a chance.
Jason Moore
How would that make you feel?
Mike Wright
Mike would be happy.
Andy Holloway
I'd be very happy.
Mike Wright
Yeah. Mike would be very well, because he is a J.J. mcCarthy. Stan.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Mike Wright
And then also, like we talked about this on the show on Thursday, Jason, like, there's two perspectives to take on J.J. mcCarthy. And I was surprised that Mike is still in on him because Kevin o', Connell, you know Mike, you're a big fan.
Andy Holloway
Oh, yeah.
Mike Wright
He's always succeeded. So then one argument is like, well, if you can't succeed with JJ McCarthy, that is the greatest indictment on McCarthy possible. The other perspective is that he'll figure it out with J.J. mcCarthy. Not the one I take, but I think McCarthy. I think Murray, barring injury, will probably. I do agree.
Andy Holloway
I'm just saying how funny would it
Jason Moore
be
Andy Holloway
for all of this hullabaloo, Kyler Murray is here to save the Minnesota Vikings.
Mike Wright
Well, I will say this. Minnesota doesn't know it yet, but that's what they want. That's what they should Want Kyler to lose. Yeah. Because that means J.J. mcCarthy is really stepped up. Because I don't think of it. I think it's closest because Kyler's job.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Mike Wright
So that means that J.J. would have to be that superior in camp, that much of a difference maker in camp. And that's what you'd want as a Minnesota fan as a long term solution at the position. Kyler. Okay. If Kyler succeeds, that's awesome. How far does that go? And then how many years do you want to make a big financial guarantee to Kyler?
Andy Holloway
Right.
Jason Moore
I think he's perfect for the Vikings. Sorry, Vikings fans. He is the perfect quarterback to get you to the playoffs. End of. End of the road there. Like he's not going to win a Super Bowl. Kyler isn't.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. The. The one playoff experience with Kyler Murray was. Does. That was one of the worst games of a quarterback that we have ever seen in the past.
Mike Wright
Aaron Donald had his way.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. Kyler and the Cardinals did nothing in that game.
Mike Wright
So.
Jason Moore
But for fantasy.
Mike Wright
Yeah. I mean it's great for the potential of Justin Jefferson to be back for Jordan Addison, for the offense in general. You really didn't have a lot of hope very often with the Vikings offense last year. In fact, your most valuable time was Carson Wentz. So that says it all.
Andy Holloway
It really says.
Mike Wright
And they still were above.500 and won their last five games. Is a very good team. And Kyler is definitely enough. Like if you look at this, just put the other names that could go there. Right. Like if it was Geno Smith or it was Aaron Rodgers or Kirk Cousins or Joe Flacco. Like Kyler's the best of those choices.
Jason Moore
Yeah, he is.
Mike Wright
So they have to be encouraged that at a minimum they have a backup plan that is existing there. Rashad white signs a one year, $2 million deal with the Washington Commanders, which now puts their backfield as a. I mean, Eckler's still under contract, right? Or no.
Andy Holloway
No, I think. I think he's done.
Mike Wright
Okay, then that's a mistake by me. I mean, he's obviously recovering from a major injury Achilles tear, but I thought he was still under contract. If he's not, it's Jakori Krasky married and Rashad White right now.
Andy Holloway
He. Eckler is a unrestricted.
Mike Wright
For you. Okay. So he's gone.
Jason Moore
This is, I think a really important pick and player for fantasy right now before the seventh pick in the NFL draft.
Andy Holloway
Right.
Jason Moore
Happens.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
Like you have to kind of call your shot on whether Jeremiah Love Rashad white on a $2 million deal does not preclude you from taking Jeremiah.
Mike Wright
Oh, no. This is.
Jason Moore
I mean, but should Jeremiah Love not be there?
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
Then this is. Then this really matters.
Andy Holloway
Rashad White matters for Jacori Crosby.
Mike Wright
Merit, too. It's a little baby deal for Rashad White.
Andy Holloway
And I mean, they're just. They're building team ASU over there.
Mike Wright
Wow.
Andy Holloway
Brandon Ayuk is definitely next for Washington.
Mike Wright
Interesting. Yeah. Because Rashad White, Jaden Daniels. Yeah. Boy, I wonder where Jeremiah loves going. We did this on the foot cast. I think we were walking through those picks. Or maybe it was the Thursday show. I lose track at this point, but to me it's really Tennessee. I don't think that it's going to be New York. And I know we don't want it to be with Cam. Scatter. Boo. But I do think I put my chips in Tennessee. I think that.
Andy Holloway
Which then I think Rashad White is a very interesting dynasty acquisition.
Mike Wright
Yeah. You've never believed in the talent, though.
Andy Holloway
No, no. But he. But he. He will catch a lot of passes.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Mike Wright
Do you see the several videos and the images and the debut of the new Titans jerseys?
Andy Holloway
Yes.
Jason Moore
I like them.
Mike Wright
Fabulous.
Jason Moore
Oh, okay.
Mike Wright
Fabulous. Delightful. Wonderful. Well done. Falcons are getting new ones this year, too. Thank goodness. That was like a two year trial.
Andy Holloway
Which. The. Was it the Falcons, where.
Mike Wright
I love new Texans. I love new jerseys, by the way.
Andy Holloway
No. Yeah, well, no, we had that, but we had like.
Jason Moore
Who was the.
Andy Holloway
Who was the team where we couldn't tell the number?
Jason Moore
Oh, yeah, that was the Falcons. That was. That was Bijon and Mooney. The number one.
Mike Wright
Seven and one was a seven. Yeah. Jason was outraged on a weekly basis.
Jason Moore
It was dumb. The number one. The numbers mean things, right?
Mike Wright
You really. I'm going to be honest with you. You should be able to tell the difference between Darnell Mooney and B. John Robinson.
Jason Moore
Okay.
Andy Holloway
When it's there when things are. But when things are going fast, it's just a point. Wait, not what.
Mike Wright
Yeah, that's fair.
Andy Holloway
Mooney.
Mike Wright
That's true. Who was it?
Andy Holloway
Get out of here, Mooney.
Mike Wright
Which running backs were like the one number off? I'm trying to.
Andy Holloway
Corum and Kyron.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Mike Wright
Oh, yeah. That one's annoying.
Andy Holloway
Where you're like, touchdown.
Jason Moore
For what?
Andy Holloway
Corum.
Jason Moore
22. 3. Dang it.
Mike Wright
Yep. How about this move? The Seahawks signed Emmanuel Wilson to a one year deal, adding to their pile of backfield options. Did you see the comments on George Holani as well?
Andy Holloway
No.
Mike Wright
You did not.
Andy Holloway
I did not.
Mike Wright
They Said that they are. The belief around Seahawks people is that they believe he has a lot more to offer and they want to get him more opportunities.
Andy Holloway
Hey, I've seen how they believe in Charbs, so that makes sense.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
I mean, they saw Emmanuel Wilson, they
Mike Wright
were like, yeah, Charbs, Emmanuel Wilson.
Andy Holloway
Wilson's actually. He's fine. I think this is a very important signing for fantasy with charbonnet. Like, his ACL surgery was February 20th. That is, he will not be ready to start the year. Like, he might not be ready till October, November.
Mike Wright
There were a lot of people, probably doctors, I'm guessing, that agreed with a lot of urine eye medical analysis on the last show.
Jason Moore
Oh, about the Achilles.
Andy Holloway
The Achilles. We're stacking them.
Mike Wright
Even some people are on board with me where you just. You have a gap year between college and the pros where you break everything and you let it heal stronger.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Mike Wright
People are really getting on board from what I'm hearing. At least three or four of them. Amari D. Markado, one year. Deal.
Andy Holloway
Who are which, Oddly enough, they're no longer allowed to practice anything in the medical field.
Mike Wright
Who isn't?
Andy Holloway
The doctors who agree with us.
Mike Wright
Oh, certainly. Yeah. They've been revoked. Chief signed to Mara Di Mercado. Depth piece there.
Jason Moore
Perfect. Perfect.
Mike Wright
Really matter Tutu outwell to the Dolphins, Calvin Austin to the Giants.
Andy Holloway
I mean, two.
Jason Moore
Two.
Andy Holloway
Oh, no.
Mike Wright
Calvin Austin of the Giants is a nice addition. Calvin Austin had. He made plays like he's not going to be wandale replacement, but it's also. He's a good player.
Andy Holloway
Sure.
Jason Moore
He's what they wanted Jalen Hyatt to be.
Mike Wright
Yeah. I mean, he actually will make place, in other words.
Jason Moore
Yeah. Get down the field fast, get open, stretch the field.
Andy Holloway
I can't believe McVeigh let Tutu go.
Jason Moore
I know, right? It's like always been his dude.
Mike Wright
Well, there's A.J. brown. Rumors we're recording the show a little bit early, by the way. So if A.J. brown has been randomly traded and we're talking about it now, I apologize. But you imagine A.J. brown to the Rams.
Andy Holloway
Chill out.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
Louisiana.
Jason Moore
Don't do that.
Andy Holloway
Calm down.
Mike Wright
Maybe the right mathematical process to go through because you got puka and he's a legend, but maybe two veteran stars equals one veteran star. Maybe that's the way you should be looking at it. And Adams plus AJ Brown equals 17 games played. Maybe that's the way you should look at it when you add the. You know, like they should add Mike Evans and then they got to add Keenan Allen. Do you Know what I mean?
Andy Holloway
Sure.
Mike Wright
San Francisco, you get. You add those two guys and you'll get 17 weeks.
Andy Holloway
I mean, it would.
Jason Moore
Brown.
Andy Holloway
Brown to the Rams would be ridiculous.
Mike Wright
They will be. And then they added Trent McDuffie.
Andy Holloway
They're going to be ridiculous. I'm saying for the Rams.
Jason Moore
I just realized, guys, Kyler Murray is going to be the rams quarterback in 2027. Like, that's the plan. Because there was. There was all the rumors that they wanted him, but he would have to sit for a year behind Stafford. Makes sense. So what does he do? He goes signs a one year deal with a no tag clause with Sean McVeigh's buddy is like, hey, go, go play over there for a year.
Mike Wright
The farm team is the Viking opportunity.
Jason Moore
Yeah. Calling it now.
Andy Holloway
Oh, man.
Mike Wright
All right, let's jump right in.
Jason Moore
Coaching carousel.
Mike Wright
All right, we have a lot of names to get through, but let's go ahead and recap what we're seeing for 2026. Last year, in 2025, we had seven head coaching changes. The year before, eight, the year before, five, and then nine. So this, this year we have 10 and 21 new offensive coordinators, which is wild because there are 32 teams.
Jason Moore
Oh, man.
Andy Holloway
Well, because teams keep hiring defensive head coaches.
Mike Wright
Yeah. Those numbers actually math out pretty good. Like, if you have the most new head coaches, a lot of those are going to be standout offensive coordinators. So let's do a quick. Let me get a quick reaction from both of you to the results of the seven hires of last year.
Jason Moore
I thought it was pretty good. There are a couple of.
Mike Wright
I was going to go one by one, but.
Jason Moore
Oh, all right. It's just a lay of the land. I think it was a successful.
Mike Wright
Overall, it was good.
Jason Moore
It was a successful year. Two atrocious ones. And then everyone else was pretty good.
Mike Wright
So Ben Johnson, obviously, great. Two thumbs up.
Andy Holloway
Awesome.
Mike Wright
Liam Cohen.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. Considering there was what, seven last year? And you, Kellen Moore, you have three coaches that I feel Rabel. So four. Four coaches that you feel good about the direction of the program.
Jason Moore
Aaron Glenn, he's not one of them.
Mike Wright
Pete Carroll.
Jason Moore
And that's the other. Those two are outright just catastrophes.
Mike Wright
One of them still got the job,
Jason Moore
which I think is a larger catastrophe. Right. Like, it would have been less bad if he didn't have the job.
Andy Holloway
More egregious. Jason. The New York jets retaining the services of Aaron Glenn.
Jason Moore
Okay.
Andy Holloway
Or the New York jets trading for Geno Smith.
Jason Moore
Oh, man. I'm going to say retaining Aaron Glenn.
Andy Holloway
Okay.
Jason Moore
Because Geno Smith is probably the best quarterback they've had since Geno Smith.
Mike Wright
Every bad team needs, and I know this is a Cardinal fan, every bad team. What you need is a. You need a story. It may be an improbable one, but you need the way that you could succeed this year.
Andy Holloway
There has to be some remote 35% target share. Garrett Wilson.
Mike Wright
Well, fantasy, yes, you'll succeed.
Andy Holloway
No, that's also. That's their best chance of success.
Mike Wright
But I'm just saying there are some teams this year that I do not have the story for. That's all I'm saying. Like I don't have a story for the Cardinals. The Cubby Brissettes as a starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals is not a story.
Andy Holloway
Their story is the number one pick.
Jason Moore
Yes, that is the story. The story is how do you get the number one pick? And right now they're projected to have the most cap space in the NFL next year. So this is a, this is a 2027 plan. So they can lose to.
Mike Wright
What's your jets story?
Jason Moore
Oh, that one is. That one is tough. I mean obviously number one pick Gino just proved he can do that, you know, so that's.
Mike Wright
He's already proved he can get you. That's why they brought.
Jason Moore
Who do we bring into it? Sure. The number one pick.
Mike Wright
Oh my goodness.
Jason Moore
Do the Cardinals and Jets play this year? Because that would be a very important game.
Mike Wright
That would be a very important game.
Andy Holloway
That's the one that has to go up to Alaska.
Mike Wright
Alaska and play the Some fast facts on the coaching changes over the last decade. NFL teams hired 70 head coaches in the last decade. Only 33 of the 70 had NFL offensive play calling experience of the 70. So it's 47%. Seven of the 10 new hires this year did. So maybe that trend is starting to change. Younger coaches perform.
Andy Holloway
Trying to help.
Mike Wright
Yeah, we've been trying to put the
Andy Holloway
work telling you what you need to do.
Mike Wright
Younger coaches perform better in year one than their aged peers. 30s. If you're in the 30s as a first year head coach, almost a.500 winning percentage. If you're in your 40s, 0.424. So 42% winning percentage. And if you're in your 50s, you're at about 45%.
Andy Holloway
Do I have some great news for you guys. The Arizona Cardinals do in fact. No play the New York jets in Alaska. It's in Arizona. Unfortunately it is in Arizona. It's a home game, but holy crap.
Jason Moore
I'm pretty sure that will decide the
Andy Holloway
the order of the top three.
Jason Moore
I believe the Cardinals have a much more difficult schedule.
Andy Holloway
Oh, thank goodness.
Jason Moore
Yeah. Thank goodness.
Mike Wright
The Cardinals home schedule includes the Eagles, Broncos, and Lions.
Jason Moore
Yeah. Oh, my.
Mike Wright
Do you realize the fun irony of Arch Manning and Marvin Harrison being the tandem?
Andy Holloway
Yes. I mean, that is like running it back.
Mike Wright
It's like running it back. Yeah. All right, let's get into it. 10 teams with new head coaches.
Andy Holloway
I don't think they will be as good. Sorry, Arch.
Jason Moore
You got a.
Mike Wright
Let me. Let me just understand.
Andy Holloway
Becoming Peyton is a. That's far away.
Jason Moore
Because I just ask Marvin how easy it is to become dad. It's not a guarantee
Mike Wright
if you guys have had this backwards philosophy where you're abandoning your home team.
Andy Holloway
Yep.
Mike Wright
But let me understand. Are you putting.
Andy Holloway
They abandoned us.
Mike Wright
Are you putting it. Because you're not switching teams? Like. Like, I can get more on board with it. Are you setting it aside? Are you putting it in the closet?
Jason Moore
Yes.
Mike Wright
You're putting it in a box, but
Jason Moore
it's on a top shelf. I need a step stool.
Mike Wright
Oh, you as well?
Jason Moore
Oh, yeah.
Andy Holloway
I'm in the attic, bro.
Jason Moore
Oh, you.
Andy Holloway
I need a ladder. Wow.
Jason Moore
Yeah, I mean, I could see mine.
Mike Wright
Your attic doesn't have one of those pull downs? The auto pull down ladders? You have to bring a ladder.
Andy Holloway
No, we have those in Arizona.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
I don't.
Mike Wright
So you. You guys both have placed your fandom in like, a cardboard box and threw it up in the attic.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Mike Wright
Next to some old clothes, and mine's
Jason Moore
next to other teams boxes. And I'm just.
Andy Holloway
I will say it's. It's hard to, after this long of a history of rooting for one team to, like, really get on board with someone else.
Jason Moore
Yeah. We say we don't care, but then all of this news we're talking about is like, we want them to get the number.
Mike Wright
I was gonna say, if you had the number one pick, you'd be pretty excited.
Jason Moore
I would be.
Mike Wright
Okay. Yeah. You guys are just working through some stuff. The Cardinals new, new head coach, Mike
Andy Holloway
LaFleur, they at least got this one right.
Jason Moore
Yeah. Checks a lot of boxes.
Mike Wright
You've got young, 39 years old, good
Jason Moore
offense, good McVeigh, Shanahan, trees, both of them. Great.
Andy Holloway
Hair is questionable.
Mike Wright
Hair is. At 39, the hair is a problem.
Jason Moore
It's just the style, though.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Jason Moore
Yeah. He's got good hair.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
It's just what he's doing with it needs to change.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
Which, I mean, to be fair, this is the analysis.
Mike Wright
Jonathan Gannon. It was not the hair it was the, the stuff underneath.
Andy Holloway
It was the brain.
Mike Wright
The brain whiz pops the Cardinals and 12.
Jason Moore
Jacoby, you got a fire in your belt. How'd you drive here? Oh man, take the bus. How did we ever not know how bad it was going to be from day one? I mean we did all right.
Mike Wright
Cardinal should have watched that and been
Andy Holloway
like, you have failed your physical with Cannon.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Mike Wright
So does Leflore. If you think they're playing. This is the hard part of the NFL. Right. You say you're playing for 2027. This is a first time head coach. He's not playing for 2027.
Andy Holloway
Correct.
Mike Wright
This is the hard part about getting the number one pick is you can come in and we believe he's a talented coach. They got the coach higher. Right. They were the number one passing team in football last year in Jacoby starts. I mean 40 pass attempts per game. We talked about this. Like if you bring in Jacoby Brissette, it's, it's not inspiring for Cardinal fans. It's really good for Trey McBride. It's really good for Michael Wilson potentially securing more of a wide receiver. 2, 3 fantasy role. Marvin Harrison being something there is stability in that.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Mike Wright
The same way with Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce. You keep the name that you already know.
Jason Moore
Obviously the fantasy implications are what we're talking about today. This is phenomenal. You've got a young offensive minded head coach from a running tree and a passing tree inheriting a team like I made a lot about towards the end of the year. Jacoby was throwing the ball 40 times a game. He was on pace for 700 passing attempts. Not going to happen again. This is as close as you're going to get where the defense, they're not, they're not investing in this team. They are not making this team like where you're, you're really going to be competing for the playoffs in year one. Yes. Michael Floor will be trying to win games. He's a young first time head coach. But Monty Austin for the GM is not investing in the 2026 Cardinals. The defense is going to be bad. I think Josh Sweat maybe requested a trade.
Mike Wright
Maybe didn't. Said he didn't.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, that came out. Was.
Jason Moore
Yeah. But they do that sometimes. They come out and they're like no, I didn't. And then they get traded and it's like. But regardless, I think it's going to be a bad defense and a good offense despite the fact. I mean Marvin Harrison. We'll have the debates right now. I know Michael Wilson is being drafted ahead of him. You guys in basketball? Yeah.
Mike Wright
Really?
Jason Moore
Yeah. I mean it was like a good player. Yes. Michael Wilson looked great. Trey McBride obviously is awesome. And the running game should work with this scheme. So I think there will be plenty of fantasy. Good.
Mike Wright
What was your reaction to Tyler Algier as we go through the coaching changes? If there's a relevant free agent. You didn't get to talk about them. I'll get your like two second thoughts.
Jason Moore
Yeah. I mean I. It was really an anti Trey Benson. What's that?
Andy Holloway
That was your time, sir.
Jason Moore
All right. I think that the. The run game will be a 1A of James Conner until he's injured and then a 1A of Algier.
Mike Wright
The Cardinals did suffer the most injuries in football last year. 40 players missed a total of 318 games. That was the worst in the NFL. We talked about the final four teams in the NFC combined didn't have as many players on the injured reserve as theirs on a Cardinals did. So were they a bad team? Yes. Was their offense really productive for fantasy? Yes. Is Michael for a good offensive coach? Yes. So is Nathaniel Hackett going to do anything as the new offensive coordinator?
Jason Moore
We hope not.
Mike Wright
We hope not.
Jason Moore
Especially considering last year he was a defensive analyst.
Mike Wright
Cardinals are plus 260 for fewest wins in the NFL.
Jason Moore
They have the longest odds of a Super bowl of all teams.
Mike Wright
Yeah. That would correlate with how bad we expect them to be.
Andy Holloway
Hackett's still getting jobs.
Jason Moore
This was like an important. Like my floor.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
It really was. I mean person to person. I mean. Stop it. LaFleur wanted to. Hackett bad brother.
Andy Holloway
You got to be a head coach. It was awful. You got to be an OC for the Jets. It was awful. Like someone else. Someone else gets an opportunity.
Mike Wright
He was mid season fired by the Broncos. Right. Isn't that what that was? Believe like a real quick firing. I believe that's. We'll take a break.
Andy Holloway
That's like three years ago. I don't remember.
Mike Wright
We don't. We don't know. Have you ever wished you could make something happen just by thinking about it? Well, WIX may have just answered your prayers. That's right. WIX has done it.

Mike Wright
All right, we don't have to talk about the Cardinals anymore. They were one of the ten head coaching changes. We'll move on to the Atlanta Falcons who are 8 and 9. They have a collection of left handed quarterbacks now new head coach Kevin Stefanski who we love. So that is. You know their story feels a little bit similar to the Cardinals where like the actual head coaching hire we have good confidence in lafleur Stefanski but beyond that you look at the rest of the off season moves very weird but they will. I you know I do believe in Stefanski.
Jason Moore
I don't have the same view that you have on lumping them in.
Mike Wright
Well, you didn't spend a whole week talking about the free agent pickups. That was a good time. Yeah, that was a good time.
Jason Moore
The Falcons, I mean, obviously they brought in a hodgepodge of unimportant people, but with Stefanski there, you know how good his running game has been, how dedicated he is to the run. The fact that they've got Bijon here and honestly, like pinnocks, I don't know that he can really be what they hoped when they drafted him. And Tua can come in here and win games.
Mike Wright
You think to a wins a job because they also put it out there yesterday that it was like both players know they're coming in to compete for the job.
Jason Moore
I think to a wins the job.
Mike Wright
The offenses for Kevin Stefanski have ranked in top 10 in rush attempts every year from 2019 to 2023. To your point, their offensive line was middle of the pack at 14th. They do not have a first round pick because.
Jason Moore
Because of poor decisions.
Mike Wright
Yeah, I mean, they're. They're dealing with James Pierce situation as well. They need wide receiver help. I don't think.
Jason Moore
No.
Mike Wright
Zacchaeus is the answer.
Jason Moore
He's the perfect answer. So 35% target share, Drake London, that's.
Mike Wright
That's fair. They got a new offensive coordinator, Tommy Reese. Zach Robinson was there, who we liked.
Andy Holloway
I mean, are we going to be just brought back into Kyle Pitts right now?
Mike Wright
I think so.
Andy Holloway
I mean, the Stefanski, you were like, hey, top 10 in rushing attempts and all those. And they've given us at least the Cleveland Browns over the past few years. There has been fantasy tight ends.
Mike Wright
This is the Browns moving over here too. Tommy Reese is the Browns offensive coordinator.
Jason Moore
Yeah. At the end of the year, I do think that he'll be a top six tight end.
Andy Holloway
So it's the tight end one.
Jason Moore
But it will. Yes, but it's. It'll be irrelevant. I mean, I brought that up on the things to remember. Although, man, the things to remember episode I was thinking about this.
Mike Wright
Uh oh.
Jason Moore
One of my things to remember was that if you're not taking basically Brock Bowers and Trey McBride, then just check out. Just punt completely. Don't fall. Like, I got to have the next guy. And then after that, after that episode, dude, the DJ Moore and the Michael Pittman maneuvers.
Mike Wright
I'm like, Warren and oh, no.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
I'm like, oh, come on. I'm supposed to remember not to draft those guys. And now you're making me really hot and bothered.
Andy Holloway
If you want to put Warren and Loveland into the your four Guys of like draft one of these four or log out. We'll allow it.
Mike Wright
If you want to leave. Fan and out of it. Like we would.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
You know, I mean, it is super ironic that. I mean, it was. That was part of the issue was the target share. Now both of those guys could legit lead their teams and targets.
Mike Wright
I think they're both players I'd be fighting for as of right now. Yeah, but you know, at the time of you saying it, that wasn't the case.
Jason Moore
Right.
Mike Wright
Anyways, we obviously saw it coming. Baltimore new head coach, new offensive coordinator. It's wild. We had the show. We were talking about Rico Dowdle going to Pittsburgh. Right. And how I still cannot process moves to Pittsburgh without seeing Mike Tomlin's face and how he will treat the offense. Same thing as with Harbaugh here in Baltimore. I feel like those two stalwarts for so many years, it's really hard to process how a team functions when you've seen Baltimore and what they've done and all of a sudden it's Jesse Minter. All of a sudden it's Declan Doyle. That offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. Are you. Is that a comment on his name?
Jason Moore
Yeah, Doyle rules.
Andy Holloway
Well, yeah, there is that. I just. That's, that's. It's intense.
Mike Wright
Declan.
Jason Moore
He is Declan. 30.
Mike Wright
Get over here, Declan. You're grounded.
Jason Moore
He's 30 years old. 3 0.
Mike Wright
Oh, he can still be grounded.
Jason Moore
He can still be grounded for sure. He rides his bicycle to work. You know, obviously, Sean McVeigh was 30 years old when he got hired as a head coach. So he's very interesting, well regarded. But I don't know, I like young. You know, this guy played Madden.
Andy Holloway
You know what I mean?
Jason Moore
Like, you know, he, like yesterday, yesterday, last night he was playing Madden. I want that.
Mike Wright
The big concern I have right now. And Mike, you've. You've shared it. When we've talked about losing Patrick Ricard and Lindenbaum. Linda bomb their offensive line.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Mike Wright
You know, you. This was. By the way, Declan Doyle was the offensive coordinator for the Bears last year.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
No, no, we like that.
Mike Wright
He drew up that sweet fourth down play where. Where, where Caleb went backwards for 20.
Andy Holloway
Oh, right, right, right.
Mike Wright
Yards and then chucked it. That was all him.
Jason Moore
Amazing work.
Mike Wright
Defensive coordinator. That's what Jesse Mentor was the defensive coordinator of the Chargers in 24 and 25. But the offensive line is concerning.
Andy Holloway
Yes.
Mike Wright
You know, they lost Isaiah likely in free agency. Another, you know, one of the more explosive weapons. Yes. Mark Andrews is under contract. He's in the sunsetting part of his career. Zay Flowers is there. Bateman. But I just think it is.
Andy Holloway
Thank goodness they have their first round pickback.
Mike Wright
Oh, my gosh.
Andy Holloway
Because they could really use an O lineman.
Mike Wright
Yeah. And another first round pick back from the next year. And let's be honest, we'd all rather have two first round picks and Hendrickson for sure than we would Max Crosby. And no first round picks. But, you know, you don't get to, like, you don't get to go all the way to the end.
Jason Moore
I think you do, man. Everybody. Everybody is so big mad at the Ravens. And I'm like, you should be. I'm like, good for you. You've made your team better. You did what you should do. If I was a Ravens fan, I'd be like, sucks for you.
Mike Wright
I mean, it does suck for all the teams that were like, they went out and spent money like the Raiders and the Cowboys who wanted Max Crosby. Now they can't get them because they signed other guys. I mean, it's within the rules.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, it's.
Mike Wright
So it's now a matter of do those teams want to do.
Andy Holloway
It did make their team better.
Jason Moore
I saw. I saw immediately, like, that the entire NFL is going to have a hard time, like, working with the Ravens or this. No, they're not. If a deal makes sense for a team, they're going to work with the Ravens again.
Mike Wright
This feels like a fantasy trade, though, where. And we've been down this road with certain people where the deal's like a handshake deal or it's almost done. And then they get the reaction of the league.
Jason Moore
Oh, yeah.
Mike Wright
And then they go, let's put the poll up. What do you guys think? You like this deal? And then you get the reaction. You get to go, nah, that's bush league. That's what this is. This is Bush.
Andy Holloway
Oh, it was fantasy.
Mike Wright
There's no question. This is bush.
Andy Holloway
It's both. It was the correct move for the Baltimore Ravens and it was Bushley.
Jason Moore
I can agree with that.
Mike Wright
Yeah. Okay, Buffalo, new head coach, new offensive coordinator. They were 12 and 5 last year. Why not change your head coach and your offensive coordinator
Jason Moore
and then keep your offensive coordinator.
Mike Wright
That's right.
Jason Moore
Joe Brady, make him the head coach.
Mike Wright
The head coach, which is good.
Andy Holloway
I think it was the right move.
Mike Wright
They hit their cap with McDermott. Yeah, yeah. No, I can see that. And we'll. I mean, it's going to bear itself out this year. They already made the move for DJ Moore, but this was a run first team. Joe Brady, there is stability.
Andy Holloway
Right.
Mike Wright
Normally when you lose your offensive coordinator or rather your head coach, you have massive instability. It's not good for fantasy players to not know what to expect. You can know what to expect on this team for James Cook, for Josh Allen. You have the same guy and they were a run first team. They led the NFL with 109 rush attempts inside the red zone. Joe. Joe Brady, 36 years old.
Jason Moore
This isn't really a coaching change. I mean for fantasy football, right.
Mike Wright
For us it isn't for us it
Jason Moore
is not a coaching change at all. The offense is being run. Joe Brady called plays last year. Joe Brady's calling plays this year. He'll have someone additional to help him design and run stuff. It was a defensive minded head coach at the top prior to this. So this is just more of the same. Personally, I love this for fantasy. I don't think it's a. I don't think it was the right move or higher for the Bills, but I get why they did that and really there's. We can't look at this team and say, say anything different about what to expect from the offense.
Mike Wright
Well, other than the loss of.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. Gilliam, full fullback. Gilliam is gone. They lost their left guard as well. So those are, I mean just like the, the Ravens will have some question marks at the O line. The. As will the.
Mike Wright
The Buffalo Bills who were sixth. I think.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, they had a very strong line and so you would. Being that strong of a unit already, you should. They should be able to figure it out. But those, those things matter.
Jason Moore
This is also a deeper offensive line draft. They don't necessarily have like the one superstar elite tackle that's, you know, the number one pick. But I think that these teams will be taking lineman in the first.
Mike Wright
Jason, we didn't get your. Let's get your couple moment reaction to D.J. moore to Buffalo.
Jason Moore
I mean I adored that move for literally everyone. Only from a fantasy football standpoint. Contracts and price don't matter to me. So. Is it good for Josh Allen? Yes. Is it good for DJ Moore? It's, it's. He's probably the biggest winner because he looked dead for the Bears. And then, and then you look at the Bears and you go, okay, Colson Loveland has the opportunity to be the number one target. Or Luther Burden or Roma Dunes. Like it hurt nobody. Like Caleb is not a down arrow losing DJ Moore, but Josh Allen is an up arrow. So. And the only person it may be hurt to like Khalil Shakir, don't care.
Mike Wright
Well, in 2024. So two years ago, Allen was the first top five fantasy quarterback that didn't have a top 36 wide receiver because Shakir was 38th. He did it again last year, two consecutive years where he didn't have a top 36 wide Receiver option.
Jason Moore
I do not believe that happens this year. I think DJ Moore will easily finish 36.
Mike Wright
Yeah, I think you're probably right. So that's the lay of the land with the Buffalo Bills. Why not talk about the Cleveland Browns who lose Kevin Stefanski, they got a new head coach. It's Todd Monkin, the offensive coordinator out of Baltimore. Stay in division. They were 5 and 12 last year. They punted the ball the most in the NFL 93 times.
Jason Moore
That's Defansky.
Mike Wright
That's true. Todd Monkin comes in 60 years old. I don't know the 60 year old stat.
Jason Moore
It's not going to work, man. This is not. Look, I know we all like Todd Monkin from a fantasy standpoint. He likes to air it out, play fast, do great things as what's my age again?
Mike Wright
Honestly, I didn't realize that's what that drop was. Yeah, I thought that was the actual song.
Jason Moore
But 60 year old, first time head coach for the Browns who don't have a quarterback in place, like, it's just. This is a. This is a placeholder for two years.
Mike Wright
That drop had not been used since 2017. By the way, let me give you some sweet stats about old, old Dudes taking over eight first time head coaches over the last 25 years that were or older. They averaged 6.4 wins in year one and only Mike Zimmer and Bruce Arians lasted more than three years. This is, this feels like like a lifetime achievement award, right?
Jason Moore
I'm happy for Monkin like he was.
Mike Wright
He will be able to tell his grandkids that are now 20 in their 30s, maybe that he was a head coach. It's so mean. It's so mean. But seriously, dude, that's. I mean, congrats.
Jason Moore
Yeah, I mean Monkin was desired to go with Harbaugh. That was, you know, that was the intent. But then he had the opportunity to land a head coach deal in his 30s. And he will probably be the OC for Harbaugh again in the near future.
Mike Wright
The Raiders changing. Well, should we talk more about the Browns and what to expect that offense? Maybe for a moment here?
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Mike Wright
Their offensive line was 31st. They have quinch on Judkins injured. He'll be coming back. The entire offensive line is changing over this off Season. Their quarterback is Deshaun Wallace.
Jason Moore
Maybe.
Mike Wright
I mean right now I think.
Jason Moore
Yeah, it's one of those two.
Andy Holloway
Yes. The answer is Sanders. But if you get to camp and that. And it's Gabriel Sanders. Watson, I think. And it's an actual competition, not a. We're just going to give the job to Sanders to see if he can do it. If they go with who is the best right now, Watson will win the job.
Mike Wright
Man, Watson was real bad though.
Jason Moore
He was. I mean he was. He would never.
Mike Wright
Certifiably the worst in the league. It was not a Pro Bowler.
Jason Moore
Like should we talked about this back in the day when it was. When it was first. It's hard to remember how good Deshaun Watson was. He was. There was a reason that amidst all the allegations he was given.
Mike Wright
Guaranteed or whatever.
Jason Moore
Given. Unbelievable.
Andy Holloway
He was given over $200 million.
Jason Moore
200 million guaranteed. 100%.
Andy Holloway
It was 100% guaranteed. Contract and picks.
Jason Moore
And picks.
Andy Holloway
Yes.
Jason Moore
Because he was that good.
Mike Wright
How much was it?
Jason Moore
Yeah, it was 200 plus. Yeah, it was definitely 200. And they weren't alone. The Falcons tried to get. That's how good he was. But I remember bringing this up like sometimes these are human beings like Tiger Woods. Tiger woods was unstoppable.
Andy Holloway
Right.
Jason Moore
And then he had a personal issue 30, 230 and it was like you're just not the same.
Andy Holloway
Look at the player again.
Jason Moore
And Deshaun Watson has never. He never got back to being.
Mike Wright
No. He was one of the worst players I've ever seen.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Mike Wright
Playing the position.
Jason Moore
I mean I don't think it's impossible that Shador beats him. But if I had to call my shot right now with the first time head coach I think it will be.
Mike Wright
So with all of that in mind, Harold Fannin Jr. Can he overcome.
Jason Moore
I mean he played with the same crappy options last year and was awesome.
Mike Wright
Yeah. Las Vegas new head coach, new offensive coordinator. They're making moves this off season. They acquired Max Crosby recently from the Baltimore Ravens. No. Clint Kubiak. I'm excited.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Mike Wright
I think this is. This was the best hire of the off season. You're going to get Fernando Mendoza with the number one overall pick.
Jason Moore
First three you do after cubes comes in the door is you get a center to upgrade a changes line.
Mike Wright
That is what the best center.
Jason Moore
I mean this is just not hard, man. Just good football maneuvers.
Mike Wright
Yeah. I mean an offensive line makes mediocre players good. Everything good players great. Great players. Legendary.
Andy Holloway
Fix the offensive line.
Jason Moore
I think the real question.
Andy Holloway
Great things will happen is going to be.
Jason Moore
You're going to have a. We know it will be an improved run game. You're going from the nepotism failure of Pete Carroll's son as the offensive line coach that was reported to be just an abysmal catastrophe and the offensive line stunk.
Mike Wright
To a cube reported by my eyes.
Jason Moore
Yeah. To a cubes.
Andy Holloway
Peter thought he did a pretty good
Jason Moore
job run game that we know is good. An upgraded offensive line with a center we know is good. And then you've got Ash and Genti there but you also have a clear and obvious want desire declaration for a running back by committee situation. So that will be like the coaching change here. Is it an up arrow for Genti?
Andy Holloway
Yes.
Mike Wright
For me it is.
Andy Holloway
Yes.
Mike Wright
For me it is. For me. I'm all in on Genty.
Jason Moore
Really.
Mike Wright
Yeah. I am not and I said this when that report came out at the committee. I'm not convinced that you know I put zero stock in the just because it wasn't the guy that they drafted. This is a top five pick. I think Jinty's got the goods. I think you need. He's the best player on the offense outside of Bowers. Right. I mean this is it's him and Bowers right now you sound like me
Andy Holloway
talking about Walker other than the top five. I can't give you the top five pick part of the argument but yeah,
Mike Wright
no I look if the difference the sentiment is negative around Genti.
Andy Holloway
Oh it's.
Mike Wright
He'll end up on my guy. It's not going to end up happening.
Andy Holloway
I don't think it should be negative but they're we just as of right now. You still have to wait because the who is the RB2. They. There's no one on the team right now. At least there shouldn't be a player on the team who takes a ton of.
Mike Wright
There's nobody. That doesn't matter to me. They're not drafting Jeremiah Love and once you go beyond Jeremiah Love, I'm not going to care about the name that
Jason Moore
you tell me they have too many needs to take like a second round pick on Coleman which would be just about it. I mean I agree. I was worried when that when that news came out.
Mike Wright
If you told me it was Aaron Jones I'd have been like ah crap. But a little bit of crap with
Jason Moore
yeah with Aaron Jones being gone, Tyler Algier being gone all the like there's no free agents left to really come in and compete and split. So I don't, I don't. I don't disagree, Andy. I do think it is an arrow up.
Mike Wright

Mike Wright
All right, it's Malik Willis's team The Miami Dolphins brand new head coach, brand new offensive coordinator, Bobby Slowik. Welcome back to the okay to the prime time. It worked so well in Houston.
Andy Holloway
Okay.
Mike Wright
Jeff Hafely taken over Mike McDaniel era over in Miami. They make the splash on Malik Willis. Jason, we didn't get to hear the thoughts. Malik Willis to Miami. It was your pick. It was the one that you hit.
Jason Moore
And he basically said at the press conferences because of those guys, he like, he just knew these guys from his time and the Packers. I don't know, man. I. It's hard for me. I know you're in on Malik Willis as a talent. You believe in him. You made that really clear. I'm not there. I don't think we've seen enough to know if he is really actually good or not.
Mike Wright
That much is a guaranteed truth. Like whether you believe or not. We definitely haven't seen enough to be like proven.
Jason Moore
Yeah. And they gave him a lot of money and they kind of, they acted like it was proven. So I don't view this as necessarily smart. I also think it'll be a down arrow. You know, you bring in a defensive head coach and Bobby Slowik as the offensive coordinator and a mobile quarterback. I don't think this is going to be great for the Jalen Waddle type. The. Just the passing volume. I would not expect to be. I would, I would think that their plan is going to come in here and improve the defense, run the ball better. You know, that's. That's probably their best player.
Mike Wright
Is arrow up for hn for you?
Jason Moore
Not really because I think it'll be neutral because it's the receiving game will probably go down for him as the, you know, rushing attempts go up for the team. So I'm not, I'm not like anti this but I'm not excited for.
Mike Wright
Here's the nice thing for HN. This was a 29th ranked offensive line that he produced at the level that he did last year. A. I mean he's, he's an A consistency. Probably the most consistent running back.
Jason Moore
Yeah, he was the only one that did not have a bust game.
Mike Wright
I mean Dolphins right now are the team directly behind the Cardinals with the highest odds to finish last. So that's not great. No, I don't, I don't love either higher. But I do think that Malik Willis for fantasy will be very good. I think that's where I'm pretty.
Jason Moore
But just for him.
Mike Wright
You've got the cheat code for Malik Willis and I think Jalen Waddle without Tyree Kill. It's pretty clear he's going to be the. I mean he's going to be the linchpin of the offense. Right?
Jason Moore
I know they bring him back. The walrus. Kidding.
Mike Wright
I doubt it.
Jason Moore
Nah.
Mike Wright
Yeah. I mean not. I mean I don't know. I don't know how the Miami fans are feeling right now. They pick at 11. Slowik was a. I mean to be clear, he was a head coaching candidate.
Jason Moore
Oh yeah. He was on fire because rookie Sensation, you know C.J. stroud was like oh man. The offense and it was him and Ben Johnson, they were the two hot commodities.
Mike Wright
He should have taken a job.
Jason Moore
Well, I mean it worked for Ben Johnson to not take the job. They both went back.
Andy Holloway
Turns out Ben Johnson was good.
Jason Moore
Right.
Andy Holloway
And then you had the next year of Sloke with CJ Stroud and you went what happened?
Mike Wright
I will be curious to see if Miami spends some picks on some of the top tier wide receiver talent. That would be. If you add another big name here, it's going to make it really hard. Like you said, if the passing volume isn't where it was before and you add a bigger A Denzel, Boston or Concepcion or something or even somebody higher because they pick at 11. I mean they could.
Jason Moore
They could get Tyson.
Andy Holloway
They could end up with one of the big three.
Mike Wright
Something like that.
Andy Holloway
Not impossible.
Mike Wright
That'll be something to watch. But the Giants 4 and 13 last year fourth in the NFC East. Hello. John Harbaugh. Yeah,
Andy Holloway
you said I just. You would.
Jason Moore
You're sad at Mad Nagy.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, I mean it's like.
Mike Wright
Yeah. What is. What is that Expound on your.
Andy Holloway
Because that's how the higher feels to me. It was like oh well this guy just is such a long tenured coach. Of course we need. We got to get this guy in. You're like. And he's been fine. Like the Ravens have been fine. You know what I mean of it. He's older than Monkin and I would say yeah, but he's not a first.
Jason Moore
Yeah, he's a very.
Mike Wright
No, I'm a.
Andy Holloway
It's the like that team feels like they really. For the. For who he had. You had a quarterback. I mean very few teams actually have a quarterback. You have a true franchise quarterback in Lamar and you really, really underperformed. So that's where it feels more of a.
Mike Wright
This is. I don't feel like I've heard this from you yet. I mean are you been working through it because you love Jackson Dart Scatter Boo. You love neighbors. I feel like this is a Bit of a resignation to like you'd love to believe differently.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. So in terms of the players, I still believe in them and I still believe in Jackson Dart. You just don't get the. Like your pit crew is not nearly as strong as it could have been for them. It doesn't mean you can't still be solid and great for fantasy. But with Harbaugh as the head coach and then Matt. Matt Nagy is just the.
Mike Wright
What he's gonna say the worst. Oh, just the worst.
Jason Moore
Was it reported that Cliff Kingsbury was coming here at 1.
Mike Wright
For a minute, for a moment.
Jason Moore
Yeah. And I was like, oh, yeah.
Mike Wright
Singing in the streets.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
And it's like, gotcha. It's.
Mike Wright
He took the mask off Budget Nagy.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. Who failed as a head coach and then goes to the Kansas City Chiefs and. And their offense just falls apart.
Mike Wright
The Giants were very good when Dart was on the field last year. They were only minus 13 and 12 starts in terms of point differential. They were minus 47 without him. He is a really good player and the offensive line is good. And if they add to it at the fifth pick and they don't go Jeremiah Love, which I don't think they will, I mean they were the ninth ranked offensive line last year. Like perhaps the Giants protecting this dude that is already trying to hurt himself.
Andy Holloway
The. Maybe the Giants at the. While everything was going off, they didn't feel confident they could get lafleur or Kubiak in. So they just were like, well, let's get what we. A well respected person that we think can turn the program around.
Mike Wright
I just feels a little disrespectful to John Harbaugh to categorize him as an inferior hire to Michael Floor.
Andy Holloway
Well, I'm calling it an inferior hire because we know who Harbaugh is. We don't know who Matt LaFleur is
Jason Moore
yet, but I think that's exactly why they hired. I think we know that he's good.
Mike Wright
That's why you hired.
Jason Moore
While you're disappointed that you didn't get a Super bowl win and you didn't necessarily. I'm saying the Lamar Jackson era of the Ravens has been disappointing only in the playoffs. He has not been disappointing in the regular season. I mean, they've been one of the most dominant teams over the last five years. Super bowl odds very high. They have disappointed in the playoffs. But I think, you know, for fantasy football, I think you can get a lot out of this team.
Mike Wright
The glass half full perspective needs to be the way that Vrabel Performed with New England. Like Vrabel came in, he was struggling. It's culture in Tennessee and he changed the entire culture of the organization. That's what I look at with Harbaugh. It's like the struggles for Variable were much more significant than Harbaugh at the end of his tenure there to where he's not bringing in majestic play calling. Maybe you get that with lafleur. You get some kind of special offensive system and that's where you look at Nagi and you can't get excited about offense. I completely understand and see that. But I want this team in games. I want this team in games that matter as the season goes on. And by goodness, please make camp Scatter Boo relevant again. Yes, they did. I'm looking at this offense. It's Scatter Boo. They have Tracy, right? They paid for Singletary this offseason. That's not a team ready to bring nobody.
Jason Moore
No, that's. That's smoke. That's a smoke screen. The whole. We're looking at Jeremiah Love. Not happening.
Mike Wright
The Pittsburgh Steelers are now coached by Mike McCarthy.
Andy Holloway
I say the same thing for him.
Mike Wright
And their offensive coordinator is Brian Angelico, who's replacing Arthur Smith. Replacing Arthur Smith. Sounds great.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, we can get on board with that.
Mike Wright
We had some great times in Dallas with Mike McCarthy.
Jason Moore
Who's their quarterback?
Mike Wright
That's not important.
Jason Moore
Oh, okay.
Mike Wright
That's silly me, but it's Kirk Cousins.
Jason Moore
Really. I mean, he's.
Andy Holloway
Who's left? Who's left?
Mike Wright
Unless it's Aaron Rodgers or it's Kirk
Andy Holloway
or it's Howard, which you would think if. I would think if it were Rogers and you're the Pittsburgh Steelers. You can't do it again, right? You can't just be held hostage by Aaron Rodgers.
Mike Wright
Oh, yeah, you can. No, you can't because you don't have another choice. You've. You've volunteered for hostage situation. You went in and you strapped your arms together and you locked the door behind.
Andy Holloway
Hey, Rogers, from the outside, can you tighten this for me?
Mike Wright
Jason, we didn't hear.
Andy Holloway
Your hands are too wiggly.
Mike Wright
We didn't get to hear your. So they. For a moment there, Caleb Johnson looked like he might have a role in this team. And then they signed Rico Dowdle. How was that? Fifteen minutes.
Jason Moore
It was. It was the best time of my life.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Jason Moore
No, I've. I've moved on. I moved on. I moved on. Come on. You made.
Mike Wright
Carry on. Double. You double up on.
Jason Moore
Carry on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I have punted him off.
Mike Wright
You Might want to stay away from Johnson.
Jason Moore
Agreed. Agreed.
Andy Holloway
David Johnson was awesome.
Mike Wright
That's true.
Jason Moore
It's just K. Johnson's okay.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Mike Wright
Yeah. Got to figure out your Johnson rules, as you call them.
Andy Holloway
Kevin Johnson was good.
Jason Moore
Yeah. It's a basketball thing. Maybe my, my love for KJ has seeped over to the NFL.
Andy Holloway
I mean, just don't fall in love with bad running backs.
Mike Wright
Oh, that's it. That was it. That was it right there.
Andy Holloway
Mike, Mike, I was with you on Caleb. I was not on Caleb, though.
Jason Moore
Carry on. Got injured. He was gonna be so good.
Mike Wright
I hate both times.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. Caleb is not an injury.
Jason Moore
No.
Mike Wright
Pittsburgh Steelers 10 and 7 last year. This was a 10 17. They hit their, their whatever McDermott moment. They. They're done. The Tomlin era is over. Tomlin steps down. McCarthy takes over. It was good for fantasy with McCarthy in Dallas with CD Lamb. We got an amazing wide receiver. One CD Lamb year with Mike McCarthy. Dak Prescott was good. There is a. There is a bit of the same argument for Mike McCarthy that you can make with the Harbaugh higher and the variable higher. It's a kind of a stabilizing presence, not an inspiring play calling situation. But Arthur Smith was frustrating as well.
Andy Holloway
I mean,
Mike Wright
you've got Michael Pittman, Pitty City. Now in Pittsburgh, you've got DK Metcalf. You've got a quarterback at some point. Are you mostly negative, mostly positive. What's the view of this hire? The.
Jason Moore
I'm fine with the hire personally. From a fantasy football perspective, Mike McCarthy can get enough out of the passing. It really comes down to the quarterback. Like, you know, I'm not. I don't look at the Steelers and say, this is a downgrade for fantasy football. Bringing Mike McCarthy in to replace Mike Tomlin. To me at, you know, it's a wash is how I view it. And I'm hopeful that maybe it actually is an improvement. They'll play a little faster, throw the ball a little more, but it really. They can't do that if they don't have a quarterback. And honestly, they don't have a quarterback because I don't think Aaron Rodgers is good enough. Kirk Cousins probably isn't good enough.
Mike Wright
What are you supposed to do when you're 10 and seven and you won your division? Because if you like, if you won your division and you succeeded and these are your quarterback options, like rebuilding, you don't have a pick for that.
Jason Moore
Yeah, it's tough. I don't think there's an answer here
Mike Wright
that's not Russell Wilson. We know that from years gone by. Tennessee 3 and 14 last year, full overhaul. They were 30th in points per game. I think we talked about it last week. Cam Ward was much, much better over the back half of the year. 10 touchdowns, one pick over the last 10 games. Robert Sala takes over. Brian Dable, offensive coordinator, maybe back where he belongs, you could say.
Andy Holloway
Certainly as an oc, certainly where his
Mike Wright
blood pressure medicine wants him. I mean, that dude. That dude went through it in New York because he did have. He had the combination of like not doing well and really having some terrible luck.
Jason Moore
Yeah. At the same time, for sure. And I think, I don't think this is like Brian Dabel did not win as a head coach, but I don't think he is a bad head coach.
Andy Holloway
You laughing at the bald squad?
Mike Wright
I am laughing at what is being titled the bald squad. Their entire coaching staff is bald.
Jason Moore
It's the largest. It's. It's absurd. You got to go look at the pictures.
Mike Wright
Brian Dable, you know, that's Gus Bradley bald. Unbelievable.
Jason Moore
I mean, it's like 10 deep.
Mike Wright
This is. I mean there had to have been genuinely a team barber that just got laid off.
Jason Moore
I don't know what when the name. I don't know when the naming rights for the stadium, but like Gillette.
Mike Wright
Oh, my God.
Jason Moore
You know, someone out here really needs to get on this.
Mike Wright
It's comical. Salah getting another shot. Not in New York. You like the hire.
Andy Holloway
I understand it because when you go to the jets and you fail, it's probably. There's a good chance it's not completely your fault. I mean, just like in Aaron Glenn, maybe it's not completely as well.
Mike Wright
And goodness. Head coach of the Buccaneers who had his opportunities?
Andy Holloway
Todd Bowles.
Mike Wright
Todd Bowles had opportunities in New York. Yeah, you're right.
Andy Holloway
I mean I on the team of. I don't like when my. I don't want my franchise to hire a defensive guy at head coach because then you lose your OC and you just have to keep replenishing that part of your team. But as like where it stands right now as these two guys, I think it's all right.
Mike Wright
It's good for Cam Ward. I think Brian Dable being there, I think is a benefit to him. This was one of the worst offensive and defensive teams last year. Robert Sala should be able to do some things to fix the defense. They were 28 the points per game last year. I'm kind of cool with it. And now they got new jerseys. You know what I mean.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. Sometimes you got to look fresh and wigs.
Mike Wright
I expect Cam Ward to take a step forward. I think they'll add a big weapon beyond. I mean, they already signed Wanda Robinson.
Andy Holloway
Please.
Mike Wright
But I mean if you, if you take an offense like Cam Ward, for all of his flaws and I recognize how many there were in the beginning of the year, this was one of the worst teams in football. This was a bad offensive ensemble. You add Wanda. Let's say you add Tyson or you add.
Andy Holloway
Well, I don't think they'll get one because I.
Mike Wright
You think it'll be Jeremiah Love. Okay, well even that is a massive help to Cam Ward. Jeremiah Love can catch the football. Jeremiah Love can take that pressure off of you to be everything for your team.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, you can do that.
Mike Wright
I think this is one of the sneaky resurgent teams. I don't know if it happens this year, but I do like the hires. It's hard to be the number one pick because 50% of number one picks in the last decade have a new head coach in year two. That's how it works. Right. You're a bad team. Yeah.
Andy Holloway
And that's the thing about this team. Okay. Let's say the Tennessee Titans, they surprise. They have. They're an eight win team.
Mike Wright
Eight, nine.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. Yeah. Brian Dable's getting interviews to be a head coach.
Mike Wright
That is true.
Andy Holloway
Like that. And then that'll be a problem. So it's like if you succeed, telling
Mike Wright
you how to avoid this.
Jason Moore
If you succeed, you fail.
Andy Holloway
You're going to fail.
Mike Wright
They should flip flop to keep.
Jason Moore
Oh, that's the way. Because Robert Salah is a great dc. We're going to, we're going to fire.
Mike Wright
We're going to demote co head coaches.
Andy Holloway
Have we ever had to?
Jason Moore
No, there's no way. There's no way there's ever been co head coaches.
Mike Wright
There should be here.
Andy Holloway
This is the perfect scenario.
Mike Wright
Bald. You can't tell which one's walking down the hall.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Mike Wright
Now you could tell's got a beard. That's the difference.
Jason Moore
Yeah. One's got a beard, one's got a belly.
Mike Wright
They're both table.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Mike Wright
Anything else from the Titans that you want to talk about? I mean, I think adding Jeremiah Love, all of a sudden this team's really exciting and fun.
Andy Holloway
I will call them fun. I would not call them exciting. Which are my love.
Mike Wright
You like the Wandell signing, Jay?
Jason Moore
It's fine. I mean we all three predicted them to sign him to, you know, have Wandell essentially follow Brian Dabel over here. They needed it. And he's a good wide receiver. But I am less bullish on Cam Ward's step forward than you are.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Jason Moore
And so if it doesn't happen. If it doesn't happen, then you're just left with mediocrity.
Mike Wright
We have any final numbers? Kyle, on the free agent predictions episode, did you happen to track any of that stuff? No, we're still waiting on a couple of signings. Good work.
Jason Moore
Yeah,
Andy Holloway
he doesn't want to call the game before the game is over.
Mike Wright
What signings are we waiting on? Aaron Rodgers.
Jason Moore
Everything and nothing.
Andy Holloway
Oh yeah.
Mike Wright
Okay. Yeah, I got you. You're very smart, smart person. All right, Thursday we're going to do some trending or ending and talk about a couple other offensive coordinator changes. And yeah, a lot's going on right now. The NFL drafts right around the corner. We're always updating our pre draft rookie rankings, which are changing and you can check all that out at ultimate draft kid.com, the dynasty passes out right now. We'll be back before you know it.
