Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Dynasty Season & Ultimate Draft Kit (UDK)

• UDK Pre-order Reminder: Last chance before March 1st to access 4 bonuses including a Listener League spot and discounted pricing ([04:21]).
• Dynasty Focus: UDK+ includes the Dynasty Pass, which now features updated rankings, production profiles, and “team opportunity pages” highlighting vacated touches and how to spot emerging talent.
  • “Dynasty prospect season is so, so much fun.” – Andy ([08:52])
• Combine Talk: Combine is about to start, fueling new data for dynasty rankings and further mock drafts ([05:53]).

2. The 40-Yard Dash: Overrated Metric?

• NFL’s reliance on the 40-yard dash is debated:
  • Mike: “How many John Ross’s, Xavier Worthy’s, Matthew Golden’s, Darius Heyward-Bey’s do we need to figure this out? …I don’t know if that makes you a first-round pick.” ([07:08])
  • Andy: “40 does correlate to draft capital, which draft capital does correlate to [success]…” ([07:42])

3. Prospect Evaluation Approaches

• Multiple models and methods at play in evaluating rookies—production analytics and film breakdowns both emphasized. Jason (absent) is working on a new prospect model ([09:00]).
• Pro tip: Use production profiles and team need analyses to identify breakout candidates before the NFL does ([08:19]).

---

Important News & Analysis

Texans & Joe Mixon

• Texans expected to part with Joe Mixon ([19:04])

Takeaways for Fantasy Managers

• Watch the Combine, but don’t double-count 40-times when NFL teams already will.
• Dynasty season is in full swing: Now is the time to use deep production profiles and spot vacated opportunities before rookie hype inflates ADP.
• Monitor NFL moves for undervalued trade/sell-high windows (e.g., Woody Marks pre-draft if Mixon is cut).
• “Year three” breakouts still matter: Don’t abandon prospects who haven’t hit early (e.g., Nico Collins).
• Andy is the best arm in the office, and Jason is statistically always “coming in hot” (and misses the fewest shows).

[Podcast Announcer]

Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.

[Mike Wright]

Welcome in. Thursday, February 26th. Welcome into the Fantasy Footballers Podcast. Andy Holloway here, Mike Wright in the building and a cardboard extraordinaire. Yeah, Jason will be back on the next episode is what I'm hearing.

[Andy Holloway]

That's what the rumors are.

[Mike Wright]

I. I feel like we would have been better off just leaning into the, you know, we damaged him with the 20 ounces of root beer. For those that don't know, on the Spitballers episode last week, we made Jason, who cannot burp. He has a scientific condition. We thought maybe the method that we would approach fixing him.

[Andy Holloway]

Retrograde chrysophyngeus dysfunction.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. You still happy you decided to read that?

[Andy Holloway]

Well, I mean, I crushed it, so.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, no, he has. So he has that. We think. And I think, you know, it's a true fact. But I think he takes a little bit of pride in it. Like, it's like a cool, unique. Like, I can't burp.

[Andy Holloway]

It's weird. I mean, he's always said it and it wasn't until the. We were recording, like, we're actually looking it up and yeah. It turns out this is a thing and people get it.

[Mike Wright]

There's like a. Yeah, you can get

[Andy Holloway]

like a Botox injection somehow Botox fixes

[Mike Wright]

it, which I think you should do. Based on our scientific study that we then proceeded to. We thought maybe we could force it.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

And our path was like, hey, a 12 ounce A and W root beer would be the path. And then, you know, the Falcon grabbed a 20 ouncer and then Jason downed it in like four seconds.

[Andy Holloway]

Because I was challenging. I was talking about how I was like, hey, guys, have you ever done the thing where you drink an entire can of soda and you don't allow yourself to burp until the end? And if you've never done. Is extremely painful, by the time you're about halfway through that soda, you're like, oh, man. And then you get to the end and it just. The air has to come out of your body. It has to.

[Mike Wright]

Well, it did.

[Andy Holloway]

Unless you have rcpd.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. It never came out. No. He proceeded to what I would call a pregnant state.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes.

[Mike Wright]

And then remained in that for 24 hours. But that is not, you know.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, that's where that was a different show.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. So there you go. This is our last opportunity for this. The UDK pre order. You have until March 1st to pick it up. Ultimate Draft Kit dot com. That is your last chance at four different bonuses that we are including, which include a chance to win a listener league spot and you get some discount codes and it is the lowest possible price. So we want to say that right here, right now. And Mike, what do they get access to immediately?

[Andy Holloway]

Well, if you. The UDK officially launches on June 1st. However, should you want the UDK plus, that will also come with a DFS pass. So, you know, if you want to play DraftKings, FanDuel, any of that stuff that will launch in the. In the football season. But right now we are in Dynasty season. So the UDK plus comes with the Dynasty Pass. The first drop of that is live. You know, we get our initial rankings. You can look at the production profiles. The team opportunity pages are gigantic and. And constantly updated of showing like what players are leaving a team, how what percentage of carries is a team losing. So like, you know, is that a good landing spot for someone kind of preparing yourself for the draft? And the combine is going on right now. You know, the things that we really care about. That hasn't started just yet, but very, very soon. And then next week that's when we will be formulating drop two of the Dynasty Pass where we Update those rankings. We get another mock draft in because we get more information, players start separating themselves. The who will be, who will be the Matthew golden of this year? Because we've had it now. Yeah, we had Worthy and then we had Golden. Two guys where they fast. They're. They're really, really, really fast. And their production profile said they should not be drafted in the first. And yet they were.

[Mike Wright]

Well, we, we actually had a conversation about the 40 times again on the footcast yesterday. Jason and I, who where we were just talking about like the greats, right? Like how in the world I know what makes for the best TV consumption of the combine is these very like you can watch a 40, right? They don't have the pads on, which of course they play in pads. We've said that a million times. I don't know why they don't run drills in pads. That would tell me something. Right? There's a little strength aspect, right to the sprint of carrying this extra weight.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean at least a helmet.

[Mike Wright]

At least a helmet. But the other part was just like the micro differential. Like there's another player this year that might break the record, right? Oh my gosh. I mean the greats at the wide receiver position. Larry Fitzgerald, first ballot hall of Famer, 44745. Antonio Brown, 44745 range.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

There's Calvin Johnson. Okay, that was a little bonus on top of everything else he brought to the table. But man, I still find it like strangely rudimentary how we, it's. We need the, we need these like marketable numbers. And I'm not saying it's not impressive and awesome that you can run really fast in a straight line. It's just so not indicative of everything you can do as a wide receiver. And I don't know how many John Ross's, Xavier Worthy's, Matthew Golden's, Darius Hayward Bays that we need to figure this out. Like cool. Like if you can run in a straight line and catch a long touchdown pass, that's cool. I don't know if that makes you a first round pick.

[Andy Holloway]

The what's difficult about it is we know historically that 40 yard dash time is not the most. When you're talking correlating to future success, the 40 is very, very low. However, the 40 does correlate to draft capital, which draft capital does correlate to. So it's the thing though of like don't double count it.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Andy Holloway]

Like the NFL is already going to count it. Don't let him run it. And he's a first Round pick. You're like boys, a first round pick. And he's so fast.

[Mike Wright]

No, it's a good point like this.

[Andy Holloway]

But all that stuff, you know, that goes into our thinking in the dynasty pass and letting you, giving you kind of the information and benchmarks for production that are more desirable for a player where the path becomes clearer for them to become a true impact player at. In fantasy football or there's late round guys. You know, like that's how you find pachecos and things is you look at the production profile. Like, okay, there's, there's a path here for that player to move up and should that happen, look at their production profile. Look at all these other things. And so it's just Dynasty prospect season is so, so much fun. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

And we're. I know Jason's in the middle of trying to build a prospect model out right now. You've been building one for years. There's so many different ways to evaluate prospects. And you know, we do the film work this time of year. We get those updates in the Dynasty Pass. All of that. Grab it. If you're going to grab it, grab it before March 1st. Ultimate draft kit dot com. I want to play the game. All right. It is a, it is a game time day. It's a game time day. We're playing games today.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I mean we, we call it the field day.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

For the fantasy footballers. Because this particular spot in February, like the 26th. Yeah. I mean there's some news for us to talk about, but you know, there's, there's not a ton going on as we're waiting for the combine. Once the combine is over, things start moving really, really fast. But right now we're just going to play some games, have a good time.

[Mike Wright]

We are going to play some. Who am I? Mike? That is our quick question of the day. I'm going to read one clue at a time and you can play along at home. First clue, Mike. We're going to try to figure out who this player is.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

Clue number one. My fantasy football breakout.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

Was not until my third year in the league. Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

A year three breakout.

[Mike Wright]

I don't think I have a guess yet.

[Andy Holloway]

Three. Year three.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. Year three breakout.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

All right. Clue number two. I have not played a full NFL season yet. Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

I appreciate the yet.

[Mike Wright]

That's optimistic.

[Andy Holloway]

Right.

[Mike Wright]

Like I'm going to get there. So no full seasons yet. I don't, I don't have a guess.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't either.

[Mike Wright]

Clue number three. I have never caught more than 80 passes in a season. See, I now. I now do have. I think I have a guess.

[Andy Holloway]

I had a guess. But Pierce has played four years.

[Mike Wright]

You know what? And I think my guess is wrong, too, because I was going to go Quentin Johnson, but last year was second year, right?

[Andy Holloway]

No. Oh, no. Last year was your. Was it?

[Mike Wright]

No, I think I'm wrong. I feel like.

[Andy Holloway]

Kyle, we're allowed to look at that, right?

[Mike Wright]

You can look at that. Okay. Yeah. Because Quentin Johnston was the one I went to right away, and I don't think that's right. I think last year was his softball.

[Andy Holloway]

No, that was year three.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, that's my guess.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

I'm supposed to write that down quietly.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, sorry.

[Mike Wright]

Quentin Johnson. Let me write that down real quick. Quietly Johnston. Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

I think it's based off of the clues. It's pretty good guess.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. Clue four. Mike.

[Andy Holloway]

My nickname is kind of gross. Huge.

[Mike Wright]

That's not the clue. I finished as a top 10 fantasy wide receiver two of the past three years. Oh.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, I didn't. I actually didn't look at that part of Quinn. But he's not a top 10.

[Mike Wright]

No, he's not. That's not him. What? I'm glad I wrote that down quietly. So, wait, I didn't. Okay, so he didn't break out until year three, but he's been a regular fantasy dominator for multiple seasons. Oh, so that's where I was thinking. It's just a year three.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. No, no, that was a little. So they could have played four years

[Mike Wright]

or five or six.

[Andy Holloway]

All right.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, the breakout just happened in year three. Finished as a top 10 fantasy wide receiver two of the past three years.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay,

[Mike Wright]

you don't want to guess. Do you have a thought?

[Andy Holloway]

Well, I will say I am. Physically, I'm here.

[Mike Wright]

Right. Okay. You're not cognizant. Your brain is not there.

[Andy Holloway]

I am running purely on theraflu and caffeine at this point.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

So.

[Mike Wright]

So guessing is not.

[Andy Holloway]

Guessing is not at the. At the top of the list. Survival and making it through the show. So I need to jump on your back. Please carry me.

[Mike Wright]

Clue number five. Well, my guess was way off. So clue number five. My quarterback has regressed since his exciting rookie 2023 season. Not played a full season. Oh, this. I know the answer to this.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

I think the answer.

[Andy Holloway]

Quietly write it down.

[Mike Wright]

I think the answer is when do you guess out loud.

[Andy Holloway]

Right. Right now.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. Nico Collins. That's my.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah, that's a.

[Mike Wright]

That's my guess.

[Andy Holloway]

That's a good guess because I remember.

[Mike Wright]

Man, we were waiting for that breakout. It finally happened. Exciting rookie year. C.J. stroud.

[Andy Holloway]

That's a great guess.

[Mike Wright]

My name is. Here's the answer key. It's Nico Collins.

[Andy Holloway]

No, it's Nico. We did it. We?

[Mike Wright]

You and I.

[Andy Holloway]

What?

[Mike Wright]

Our powers.

[Andy Holloway]

What a team effort.

[Mike Wright]

Nico Collins.

[Al Borland]

That's kind of you to give Andy some credit for that.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, thank you. Thank you. I was steering him.

[Mike Wright]

Theraflu and caffeine. Okay. Third straight thousand yard season. One of six wide receivers to accomplish that. Nico Collins, along with A.J. brown, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, CD Lamb. I'm on Ross St. Brown still, in my opinion, purely on skill, talent, ability. I still think he's underrated. I still think Nico Collins is underrated and underdrafted more often than not. And look, you just saw some of the reasons why. One, it took you three years to break out. Two, your quarterback looks like dog water right now.

[Andy Holloway]

And it's.

[Mike Wright]

And then the other one, you know, the volume hasn't been there. And then he's missed games. Right. I've never played a full season. He always misses some time. But you know, if you put one full season of Nico Collins out there on the field for 17 weeks, there's a chance he's the top three wide receiver.

[Andy Holloway]

100%. It's just. Can Stroud get it together?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

And that is a really big question at this point.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, there were trade rumors and the GM came out and said it's moronic to trade him. I mean.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I think that's when you've played.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, he kind of reminds me a little bit of Kyler because. Yeah, just on the kind of career. I mean, it's not the same, but a career trajectory where like look super promising MVP candidate, lot of expectations and then just slowly playing worse at the position ever since he told Caleb Williams to hang in there in the middle of the field.

[Andy Holloway]

So looking at the box score here. So Stroud missed weeks 10 through 12. So that's when the giraffe came in.

[Mike Wright]

Davis Mills.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes.

[Mike Wright]

So you can still recall who looks like a giraffe? Well, yeah, your brain is working on that capacity.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean, come on. Come on.

[Mike Wright]

Mike Glennon.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, two of his. So in terms of highest scoring finishes on the year for C.J. stroud, number two and number three came with Davis Mills and not Stroud. Not that he didn't have some good games with Stroud, but like that is.

[Mike Wright]

Well, it's not.

[Andy Holloway]

That's not what you like to hear.

[Mike Wright]

It's not a great recipe for fantasy success when look Stroud to win, they don't need him to be amazing.

[Andy Holloway]

They just need him to be pretty good defense.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Because the defense is so great. So like from a fantasy perspective, that's not great. We've seen this be a challenge for Philadelphia when their defense is really good, not counting on the wide receivers. So Nico might have the skills to be top three, but maybe not the situation. Let's talk some news.

[Podcast Announcer]

News and notes from around the league.

[Mike Wright]

Are you kidding me? Jordan Schultz reports that there is strong belief that former Saints quarterback.

[Andy Holloway]

What? Send in the car. Send in the car.

[Mike Wright]

What? Derek Carr is very serious about unretiring and returning to the NFL. Hmm. You can only play in the front yard with your kids so many times before you want to come back to the NFL. Derek Carr. Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean he would, he would be

[Mike Wright]

much better than a lot of.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, he would be. And yet not really help anybody.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, we'll see. We also have. Right after I said definitively I think they won't trade him, Dan Graziano comes out and says teams are monitoring the trade market for Brian Thomas Jr. Yeah, it's just.

[Andy Holloway]

Tis this season.

[Mike Wright]

I mean that he's still. He's still a candidate. He's still a candidate in the sense that like his expectations for his role in the offense probably don't meet what the teams are.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes. It makes. There is a world where it makes sense for Brian Thomas to be traded and yet it would a year three first round wide receiver. So you have him. You would have control of his contract for. No, for three.

[Mike Wright]

Three more years. Yeah, for three.

[Andy Holloway]

Because you get with the fifth year option and it just the price you're paying for what the level of talent for Brian Thomas you would have. I feel like the trade would have to cost so much.

[Mike Wright]

You're probably right.

[Andy Holloway]

Or one of those things. Or it comes through and you're like, what? They traded Brian Thomas for a third round pick. And he just like.

[Mike Wright]

And then you start to say, oh, it must have been bad.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. This, this report. Everything about this report made me laugh.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, good. Loved it.

[Mike Wright]

Are you in the same camp?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

I mean this is just silly. Fox Sports reporting Cardinals Kyler Murray prefers to be released ahead of free agency.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, does he?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Cool.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, does. Oh, he does he. He would prefer to be able to pick the team he wants to go to for the contract that he wants to go get.

[Mike Wright]

It's. It's great. It's great. Apparently.

[Andy Holloway]

Why would he want that?

[Mike Wright]

Kyler and general manager Monty Austin Ford have not even spoken since the season ended. He's. It's over, man.

[Andy Holloway]

It's. Look, I. I was on record on Tuesday of I most logical is that Kyler is still on the team. But we are. The saga is not close to done.

[Mike Wright]

No. No. And then we also got a report from Aaron Wilson, great reporter out of Houston. Texans are expected to part ways with Joe Mixon.

[Andy Holloway]

They think this quote.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, this. You want to read it?

[Andy Holloway]

Speaking about Joe Mixon, they think he had surgery. They think maybe he did. How do you not know Joe Mix it. What are you doing my guy?

[Mike Wright]

Well, he tried to recover with some techniques that I don't think were team approved last year. It didn't work out, never got back and now probably won't be a part of the team moving forward. So like, I think Woody Marks is one of those interesting names because every. Everything about Woody Marks, the numbers behind his production, the fact that he's a later round pick, the fact Joe Mixon has gone like he probably is not going to work.

[Andy Holloway]

I think he plays.

[Mike Wright]

If they don't draft somebody all of a sudden you'll be like staring. Who was the.

[Andy Holloway]

Damien Pierce.

[Mike Wright]

No, that's a good one. But I was thinking Raiders running back and we were like, oh, Zemir White. Zemir White didn't get replaced in the draft. And then we're like, cool, let's go. And people drafted him and it didn't work.

[Andy Holloway]

No.

[Mike Wright]

So, yeah, I mean, I just think Woody Marks could have. Let me put it this way. There could be a small period of time in which he is a dynasty, tradable asset.

[Andy Holloway]

I would be trying to trade him

[Mike Wright]

because if mixing, when mixing gets cut pre draft, that's your moment.

[Andy Holloway]

Go.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, maybe you want to Woody Marks. Yeah, go frame Woody Marks up as the starter for a team that's pretty good playoff team and then cash in. All right, we'll take a break and we're going to play some liar, liar. And I'm quite afraid of whatever they've prepared for us. What's going on? Foot clan. Running a business. Well, that's complicated. I mean, especially when you have to hire guys like Al Borland and Papa Josh. But there's probably about 55 programs that you need. Also expensive. And since they come from different companies, they don't always play nice with one another. What can you do, right? Odoo. That is what Odoo has all the business software that owners need. We're talking sales, CRM, manufacturing websites, literally every kind of software. And it's all on one platform, so it all works together seamlessly.

You're not sacrificing, and it's just a better experience than that hodgepodge of different programs that you're using right now. And what is the most amazing part of Odoo? It's that you're not paying that premium you'd expect to be paying for it.

[Mike Wright]

All right, we lose control of this show. That's what normally happens this time of year. And we're going to play some Liar, Liar, which apparently I have a drop for. Oh, boy.

[Podcast Announcer]

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

[Mike Wright]

And we do this on spitballers. It's two truths and a lie. This is normally Kyle the Borgogan puts together some madness, takes great pride in it. We try to determine which of these things are true, which one is a lie. And according to his records, I guess this is the seventh time we've ever played this on the show. He claims that one time you were fortunate enough to win, Mike, and the rest we have lost.

[Andy Holloway]

I do remember winning. I don't remember that we've played it this many times, though.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Every time you're like, hey, we're going to do Liar, Liar. I'm like, we do that on the.

[Mike Wright]

I know.

[Andy Holloway]

That's the spitballers.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Well, round one, we play three rounds, and if we can make it through three rounds determining what the one truth is, then we are champions of the world.

[Al Borland]

And I'm going to be jumping in for Jason.

[Mike Wright]

That's right.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yes.

[Al Borland]

I do not know the answers to this either.

[Mike Wright]

Al Borland is going to contribute because we can't give Kyle a, you know, a 2v1 situation.

[Al Borland]

That's right.

[Mike Wright]

Round one is titled our Powers Combined, which is already frightening. All right, here's your three potential truths. Number one, in 2025, tight end Tucker Kraft played only eight games.

[Andy Holloway]

True.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Nailed it. Yet he had more receiving touchdowns versus man coverage than CD Lamb, Nico Collins, Michael Wilson, Jamar Chase on the season combined.

[Andy Holloway]

So this is.

[Mike Wright]

This is Kyle101.

[Andy Holloway]

Yep.

[Mike Wright]

We're drilling it down to man coverage. Tucker Kraft, more touchdowns against man than Lamb Collins, Michael Wilson and Jamar Chase combined. Truth number two.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't know. Nerd.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, that's what I want to say.

[Andy Holloway]

Gracious.

[Mike Wright]

That's what I want to say.

[Andy Holloway]

Number two, go outside. Nerd.

[Mike Wright]

Mighty might. Wanda Robinson had as many 20 plus yard air. 20 plus air yard receptions in 2025 as Jameson Williams, DK Metcalf, and Roma Dunes a combined.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay, that.

[Mike Wright]

So? Three guys that are downfield threats. Williams, Metcalf A Dunes A Wondale. Okay, I think. I think. I think that one's very possible.

[Andy Holloway]

How many did Metcalf have exactly?

[Mike Wright]

That's exactly why I have one.

[Andy Holloway]

20 air yards.

[Mike Wright]

Not air yards, probably. Yeah. He's had long receptions that were a result of him running.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Number three, Jackson Darden, just 12 career starts, has more passing touchdowns against zone coverage.

[Andy Holloway]

Nerds back then.

[Mike Wright]

Kyler Murray has over the last three years combined. We don't know this, Kyle. We do not dig into the nerdom. I mean. Okay, I think the Wanda one's true. Mike. I think that one's true.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

I think that one's our layup. The question is, is which of the other ones are true? Tucker Kraft had a bunch of.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, only one could be true.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Or no. No one's a lie.

[Mike Wright]

There's two truths. That's why I say only one. All right.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

All right.

[Andy Holloway]

And I don't know what I'm doing.

[Mike Wright]

I know you are on drugs, Wanda Robinson. I'm going to. I'm going to count that one myself. You don't have to do that. I think that one's true. I have no idea about this man versus zone decision. Al, do you want to weigh in with your Green Bay Packers?

[Al Borland]

My only insight is that I feel like maybe Kyle put that Tucker Craft one in there just to get me to vote with my heart. Oh, yeah, because that could be a trap.

[Mike Wright]

Because he'd wanted you to do this.

[Al Borland]

I don't know the answer, but I am going to be taking Tucker Kraft as the lie for that reason only.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, the Kyler Murray one is a bit of a trick because it's like the last three years combined. Well, Kyler played, what, a handful of games this year and then missed the entire season two years ago. So he played like 16 weeks versus or, you know, whatever. 20 weeks versus Jackson darts 12. I'm. I think that one's true. I'm going to take Tucker Craft as a lie as well.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, man.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, Kyle has let us know. We're going to know none of these. What are we doing, Kyle?

[Andy Holloway]

We're playing a game. Okay, so you guys are both in on the Tucker Craft or not in.

[Mike Wright]

We think that one's the lie. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I'm saying, like, you're locking that in.

[Mike Wright]

We're so not in on that.

[Andy Holloway]

That's. That's fair. So it's just. Do we put all the eggs in one basket of the Tucker craft?

[Mike Wright]

It's just. What's your conviction, Mike? You're the only one to win this game against Kyle.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, but as the note said, I was fortunate to win. I'm going to go. I'll take the dart one.

[Mike Wright]

All right, Kyle, you eliminate us immediately if Wandale is the lie.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Kyle Borgogan]

You guys have a lot to learn. It is Wandale that's the lie.

[Andy Holloway]

But how close was it?

[Kyle Borgogan]

He had more than Jameson Williams, which is very different than how he used to be used.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes.

[Kyle Borgogan]

The other ones far out past him.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, okay. Okay. Well, that's round one loss. Now we now we play for pride.

[Mike Wright]

Round two. Geography for dummies.

[Andy Holloway]

Perfect.

[Mike Wright]

Number one.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah. Beautiful. Beautiful.

[Mike Wright]

Garrett Wilson has never caught a touchdown in a city located west of Dallas, Texas. Through his professional and college career, 91 games worth. So he can't catch a touchdown west of Dallas.

[Andy Holloway]

What are these spreadsheets? What is happening?

[Mike Wright]

I'm just picturing the Jordan get help that we sent him. Oh, man. Number two. Through five years in the NFL and 889 career carries, Chuba Hubbard has never had a single run of 15 yards or more in the mountain or west coast time zones. All right, the worst part about this is two of these have to be true, which means he knows that whether they're true or not. Which is the worst? Number three. Good night. Counting his 13 games as a rookie, the preseason college and high school, high school tight end Mason Taylor has not forced a missed tackle in 47 of the 50 United States.

[Al Borland]

Meow.

[Mike Wright]

I'm going with that one as the lie.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, no, that one's definitely true.

[Mike Wright]

Mike is so.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't know how to play this game.

[Mike Wright]

You should because we've played it before.

[Andy Holloway]

What?

[Mike Wright]

How much Theraflu. Mike. Was it a.

[Andy Holloway]

Whatever. The maximum.

[Mike Wright]

Was it a big glass?

[Andy Holloway]

The maximum. Maximum dose. Okay.

[Mike Wright]

You should go home after this.

[Andy Holloway]

I plan on it. So, Mason Taylor. That one is definitely true. Due to.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, he needs to be true.

[Andy Holloway]

No, dog.

[Mike Wright]

And you shouldn't know his high school stuff. Kyle, I gotta believe Garrett Wilson's caught a touchdown west of Dallas. I'm going to call the Mountain West Chuba Hubbard 1 a lie. Although I don't know, man. Go ahead, Al. What do you think?

[Al Borland]

I'm going to go with Garrett Wilson is the lie. Because I do have it on good authority that Mason Taylor, freshman year of high school, broke a tackle or forced to miss tackle.

[Mike Wright]

You've got that in your archives.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Al Borland]

Now see, I'm pretty sure that's true.

[Mike Wright]

He might make the Mason Taylor want to lie. If you want to go that direction. Because he will want to prove that Mason Taylor can't break tackles in 49 of 50 states.

[Andy Holloway]

It would be great if that one worked.

[Al Borland]

Yeah, I was backwards on that.

[Mike Wright]

Huh? Oh, so is that. Is that what you mean?

[Al Borland]

I got to lock that in as the lie.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, so you're doing what I'm. I'm thinking. Yeah.

[Al Borland]

Okay. Yeah, sorry.

[Mike Wright]

So I've got the Chuba Hubbard as a lie. You've got the Mason Taylor as a lie.

[Andy Holloway]

It would be insane for a. For a human being to make it into the NFL. He was a second round pick. Am I remembering that? Correct. Mason Taylor.

[Kyle Borgogan]

That's correct.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay. For a guy who got drafted in the second round going back into high school to not be breaking tackles, that would be weird. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, reveal your stupidity, Kyle.

[Kyle Borgogan]

Mason Taylor is true. He's only broken tackles in Florida, Mississippi.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, my gosh. Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana are the only states he's broken a tackle in. Kyle.

[Kyle Borgogan]

Correct.

[Mike Wright]

Unbelievable. Amazing. All right, so which is the lie?

[Kyle Borgogan]

The lie is Chuba. He broke a tackle in Arizona as a rookie.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Kyle Borgogan]

You mean for 15 yards?

[Andy Holloway]

Yes.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. Wait, is that the one that I. No, that's not the one I picked. I picked Garrett Wilson, didn't I?

[Al Borland]

So I got you picked Chuba.

[Mike Wright]

I got it right, dude. Nobody knows what's going on. I think so, Kyle, what did I pick? Only the audience is going to know.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Kyle Borgogan]

Chuba.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay. So you're winning.

[Mike Wright]

Apparently. I don't feel like a winner.

[Andy Holloway]

Everyone is losing.

[Mike Wright]

I'm winning, but do not feel like a winner. Round three, the Year of Mike, is the title of this.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, it was A good year.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, here's your three potential truths. Number one, sometimes footballers are running late in the morning in which they publicly share in the company Slack that were, quote, coming in hot. Yeah, that is the phrase we share since the beginning of the fantasy footballers podcast. Mike has coming in hot more than Andy, but fewer than Jason. That's one that we're gonna try to figure out if it's true.

[Andy Holloway]

So according to that, Jason would be the most.

[Mike Wright]

More than Andy, but few. Yeah, that would make sense.

[Al Borland]

Jason would be the latest man.

[Mike Wright]

That would have been the way a normal person worded it. Yes. Okay. Like, it could have been like, Jason has the most. That could have been like, the truth. But he's trying to frame it in the year of Mike. Very tricky. Number two, during weeks one through 18 of the NFL season, the word quote, the word pants was mentioned more times on the podcast than the number of targets George Pickens had, which was 137. So did we say the word pants more than 137 times?

[Andy Holloway]

Very possible.

[Mike Wright]

How do you know?

[Andy Holloway]

I think he's scraping transcripts or something.

[Mike Wright]

Number three, Mike, I need to know

[Al Borland]

if the drop counts as a mention never going back.

[Mike Wright]

I don't think it does, Kyle. It does. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

It's got the word pants in it.

[Mike Wright]

That's fair. Number three, Mike gloriously rode CMC and Bijon to a league of record championship this year.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes.

[Mike Wright]

Coincidentally, their combined yards from scrimmage in their careers. Good night. Counting regular season and playoffs is the exact driving distance from Mike's house to the footballer studio.

[Andy Holloway]

Please. That has to be true. It has to have aligned.

[Mike Wright]

So that would be their combined yards from scrimmage in their career, counting regular season and playoffs. I feel like that one's true. He had to. He had to jackknife that thing together hard. I think that Mike is the most coming in hot. No, I think Jason is. Dang it. It's not me. I don't say coming in hot very much. I think that I might be coming in hot, but I don't say it as much as Jason does, so I feel like that's true. I'm going to say that the pants one is wrong.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't think we said it. I'm on that one too.

[Mike Wright]

I don't think we said it. 130.

[Andy Holloway]

737 is.

[Mike Wright]

That's a lot of pants.

[Al Borland]

See, that's what I was going to lock into, but.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. No, you should. You should.

[Al Borland]

For the sake of.

[Mike Wright]

I can't.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean, Are you trying to tie. Got to play game theory.

[Al Borland]

Yeah. So for that reason, I'm going to say that Mike is the latest man of U3.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

And he's the one who does. Oh, and he posted the chart. The coming in hot chart.

[Kyle Borgogan]

That is the light. Andy's actually coming hot more than Mike, but Jason is also the.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh.

[Mike Wright]

So I got it.

[Al Borland]

I got it right. For the wrong reason, but I got it right.

[Mike Wright]

Interesting. So it looks like Mike and I were tied in coming in hot in 2024, but I had a couple. But then I had a couple more in 2025, and Jason is blowing us away. I mean, for the people that can't

[Al Borland]

see this, Kyle has a line graph.

[Mike Wright]

Put this up on the screen. Can you get this on the screen for those watching?

[Al Borland]

Not very easily, no.

[Mike Wright]

Yes, you can.

[Al Borland]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

I believe in you. I'm on it. I'm going to send you the. I'll send you the image.

[Al Borland]

All right.

[Mike Wright]

And then you post this on the screen. Jason is coming in hot at a ratio of 2 to 1 to 3 to 1, minimal. And I. That's why I said I think his phrase, man. Wait, just so we. Which one is the.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, there it is.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, there's the. There's the chart. So are you telling me we never even used the language coming in hot before about 2021?

[Kyle Borgogan]

That is correct.

[Mike Wright]

So we just started saying that became an excuse. And Mike or no, I debuted that.

[Kyle Borgogan]

You were the first in 2022, and then you got.

[Mike Wright]

And then Jason's like, I love that phrase. I didn't know I could come in hot. Amazing. Amazing.

[Al Borland]

Excellent work, Kyle.

[Mike Wright]

That didn't answer our question, though, right?

[Al Borland]

Yeah, it did. That's the lie.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Because it's fewer.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, you're right.

[Andy Holloway]

Not more than anything.

[Mike Wright]

So the pants one is true.

[Kyle Borgogan]

144 pants.

[Mike Wright]

144 mentions of pants on the show. 145, baby. Incredible. And then, of course, of course, the CMCB Gen 1 is true.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean, that makes so much sense. Of course it's true. It had to. I mean, Jupiter had to align with Mars.

[Mike Wright]

Your season was just.

[Andy Holloway]

It was a good time, man. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

I just.

[Andy Holloway]

You should try it.

[Mike Wright]

Do you feel like. Oh, do you feel like you're going to have to pay for it? Do you know what I mean? Like, everything lined up so much. Right.

[Andy Holloway]

I think there's going to be a point. Will the creditors.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, A pendulum swing of, like, you stub your toe 10 days in a row or something.

[Andy Holloway]

Here's the thing. Yes, absolutely. Also doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

[Mike Wright]

You don't even care.

[Andy Holloway]

No, I don't.

[Mike Wright]

Take my life. Just give me that season. All right, we'll take another break. We'll be back with some questions. Prime one day delivery is fast. How fast we talking?

[Mike Wright]

All right, we are going to jump into the mailbag. I feel like I'm supposed to thank Kyle for that segment.

[Andy Holloway]

Kyle, how long did that take?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, yeah. How much did we pay for? How many hours did we pay for?

[Kyle Borgogan]

You guys are out all, you know, last week, so.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

Right. But you were not. Which doesn't answer the question.

[Kyle Borgogan]

Some of those do not take as long as you think. The Bijan CMC maybe took like 20 minutes.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, you were doing some. Don't you have some analytics too, on the attendance record? Over.

[Andy Holloway]

He's got everything, man. You want. You want Mighty Ducks analytics? He's got him.

[Mike Wright]

He does have all the Mighty Ducks analytics. But, you know, like how many times we've done three man shows versus two man shows? How many times the Bears been on screen in 11 years? Are we going into year 12?

[Kyle Borgogan]

Jason? Stats are slipping recently, boys.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, are they? Oh, what, what trends can you share with us on the air? Because he's not here, so we don't care what you say about him. He's. He's still coming in hot today. You have any, you have any hot stats you want to share? Kyle, you can break in anytime in mailbag if you have a hot stat on Jason's. On Jason's numbers.

[Kyle Borgogan]

Jason's missed the fewest amount of shows out of anybody.

[Mike Wright]

So all time all time. That's not what I asked from you.

[Andy Holloway]

But I want stats that make me look good.

[Mike Wright]

You said he's been slipping. That's the stuff we wanted to hear.

[Kyle Borgogan]

I'll get you one later.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. All right. Into the mailbag we go.

[Podcast Announcer]

Mailbag.

[Andy Holloway]

Hi, Matt from Los Angeles here and

[Mike Wright]

I was wondering if you guys were do the NFL combine, which event would

[Andy Holloway]

you be respectively best at? Love the show.

[Mike Wright]

Well, I mean, there will not be a respectably part. So what would we perform best in relative to the NFL players or against each other?

[Andy Holloway]

It just, you know, it's yourself.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, we did a combine challenge a really long time ago. Don't look it up. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think we did especially well at any of it.

[Andy Holloway]

No.

[Mike Wright]

And we're now 10 years older.

[Andy Holloway]

We did not.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, we're not fast.

[Andy Holloway]

No.

[Mike Wright]

We're not strong compared to NFL players.

[Andy Holloway]

Correct.

[Mike Wright]

We're not quick.

[Andy Holloway]

No.

[Mike Wright]

Maybe the gauntlet. I could catch the ball in the gauntlet.

[Andy Holloway]

Right. As long as you don't get hit in the face, you're okay.

[Mike Wright]

Right? There's a chance of that. I'd like to see Al Borland do that one. Remember when I threw him that pass out here in the. Yeah, Then he fell and he fell down. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

I liked the part where he fell down.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. That one's a truth. You remember that, Al?

[Al Borland]

I do, but in our flag football.

[Mike Wright]

He's been wearing bob ever since.

[Andy Holloway]

No flag football.

[Al Borland]

100% catch rate.

[Mike Wright]

How many total catches do you think I threw to you or how many passes did I ever throw to you?

[Andy Holloway]

Three.

[Mike Wright]

Three? Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

He doesn't know.

[Mike Wright]

I caught them all, man. How hard was it?

[Al Borland]

Don't worry about the one where I ran the wrong way after catching. Did you? Yes.

[Mike Wright]

How did you get spun around Our first season? Oh, incredible.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, the first season. Yeah.

[Al Borland]

My bearings were all off this week

[Mike Wright]

without Jason has just focused on Bodman over there.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, it was like a check down.

[Al Borland]

It wasn't like a designed play for me and you just tossed it to me and I just ran the wrong way.

[Andy Holloway]

I have no memory of this, but that is fantastic.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. I guess I'll go gauntlet. I feel like I can catch it. So we'll see. I don't know, Mike. You want to do the vertical?

[Andy Holloway]

No, Vert is never broad jump. I've always been okay.

[Mike Wright]

Wonder lake.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, please.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, I don't know what's not on the medicine. You're on now.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no, no, no.

[Mike Wright]

He's the one on the Wonderlic right now.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, I'll probably still beat Stroud, right? He was the one who had the massive failure.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, he was the one that had the failure and then dominated as a rookie.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

And we were like, oh, great.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, maybe it matters. I don't know.

[Mike Wright]

Jason, you can give him some bench press, I guess, see what he hold. Can he bench 225 though? Probably not. No.

[Andy Holloway]

None of us can bench 225.

[Mike Wright]

No. I don't think so.

[Andy Holloway]

Rep 225 maybe. I don't think we could get one. We will die. A bar will crush us.

[Mike Wright]

I don't think we could get one. Maybe you want to try that one out on not really Challenges.

[Andy Holloway]

That's. I feel like you.

[Mike Wright]

Did you see the kid?

[Andy Holloway]

If you're wrong and you can't bend, you can't get up one rep, you're going to hurt yourself.

[Mike Wright]

Did you see the kid? The 14 year old kid who just dropped 450 on his chest. What? This is going around right now. He actually had to come out and talk about it. The freeze frame. He's alive. He's alive. The freeze frame of the bar and how far depressed his chest is when it lands. No, he had three useless spotters.

[Andy Holloway]

Why are we letting 14 year olds bench that much?

[Mike Wright]

We shouldn't be. But yeah. He had a spotter. You know the normal like the set spotter behind and one on each side. And all three of them were. Did nothing. He instantaneously dropped the bar. Thank goodness he's alive. Didn't break anything somehow. I guess at 14 you're Gumby. Your bones are Gumby. But no. That. That was interesting. That was insane.

[Andy Holloway]

Jeremy does want to let people know he couldn't. He's confident he can get at least one. I'd like to.

[Al Borland]

I just wanted to let you know that.

[Mike Wright]

I'd like to know.

[Al Borland]

Thank you for letting them know.

[Mike Wright]

We should.

[Andy Holloway]

We should. Is that because of the really ripped abs?

[Al Borland]

That's right. Couple sports of that.

[Mike Wright]

He sprays right before the lift.

[Andy Holloway]

It's my free workout. Is it you like your spinach?

[Al Borland]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

It's like you power up like Popeye it's only.

[Mike Wright]

He only sprays them right there. Sprays it right on.

[Andy Holloway]

The apps just get so ripped.

[Mike Wright]

Teddy writes in any year three breakout predictions.

[Andy Holloway]

Ooh, like someone who's going to jump into the top three.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Any year three breakout predictions. That's the Marvin Harrison Jr. Neighbors class. So next year will be year three for neighbors in Marvin. Man. I mean, Neighbors is a little too.

[Andy Holloway]

Neighbors needs to be healthy.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, I feel like he's already broken out too.

[Andy Holloway]

He has, but he needs to be. If he's healthy, he's just. He's going to dominate.

[Mike Wright]

We got the big year for BTJ and Ladd already. Kenneth Coleman not predicting that one.

[Andy Holloway]

No, I do not have a prediction for that. Oh, no, I do. Trey Benson.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. I don't know what Arizona is doing. I don't either. That's the end of the sentence.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't think they know what they're doing. President and owner Michael Bidwell has no idea what he's doing.

[Mike Wright]

And not just owner. President and owner.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, Kyle's reminding me of Ben Sennett maybe. But. But I think that. I think James Conner will be gone. I think they'll just decide to clear house. Not that he can't play. Connor.

[Mike Wright]

Connor's a goner.

[Andy Holloway]

Connor. Oh, nice. Connor could go somewhere and still be very productive, but I think that they will probably move on. They. You know, there was chatter of the Cardinals being linked to Breeze hall, which obviously that can't happen.

[Mike Wright]

Well, the jets shut that down so quick.

[Andy Holloway]

It could theoretically happen if they transition, tag him. Because then Breeze hall can go get offers and the jets just have the right to match it.

[Mike Wright]

I don't know.

[Andy Holloway]

I still believe in Trey Benson as a player who just really hasn't had his opportunity yet.

[Mike Wright]

We'll get to see Jonathan Brooks back out on the field hopefully next year. Blake Corum is a player that can come into the conversation as one. That's Braylon Allen. If Breeze. If Breeze leaves.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I just. I'm not sure that he's.

[Mike Wright]

Do we get Pierce all for more than a game of consistency. That would be another name with them not having wide receivers. There you go. All right. Warren writes in from X. Is Caleb Williams a top tier quarterback next year? He had the high end finishes this year. Five games of 24 plus points. He had the big playoff performances that I think impressed a lot of people. He has a slew of weapons that we love. Luther burden.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes. Mr. Love.

[Mike Wright]

Mr. Loveland. That would be. You know. And Roma didn't see a top Tier, what does that qualify as? Top six?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I mean, just a guy. You're playing a difference maker every single week.

[Mike Wright]

I don't believe that right now.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't. I don't think so either. We got to fix that completion percentage. We have what, 58%? Was it really that bad? I always forget how bad it was.

[Mike Wright]

58% completion percentage.

[Al Borland]

That is.

[Andy Holloway]

That. That's not good enough. That's not good enough.

[Mike Wright]

Now, that'll. That number will come to bear over time.

[Andy Holloway]

So I would say as of right now, no. But he's mobile. I mean, he's. He is unbelievably athletic.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, he does.

[Andy Holloway]

He's so fast.

[Mike Wright]

He does some crazy stuff. He kind of reminds me sometimes of Steve McNair. Escape is, you know, being able to escape in the pocket. Mr. Ugly Par writes in on Instagram. Okay, who is the. Who in the office throws the football the best?

[Andy Holloway]

That's Andy. Andy was the quarterback on the flag football team.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, that flag football team.

[Andy Holloway]

And he was the quarterback because he could throw the ball the best.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, that was held A plus B there. And I could throw it the very best with my 100% completion rate.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

How much offense did you ever play, Al?

[Al Borland]

I played o line quite a bit.

[Mike Wright]

Did you? Okay. I couldn't remember. And those were good old days. Good old days. Lots of surgeries. Lots of surgeries from those days. Most of them by Papa Josh. Papa Josh. Two ACL tears.

[Al Borland]

Yep.

[Andy Holloway]

And a. And a toe surgery.

[Mike Wright]

And you repaired how many of the acl?

[Andy Holloway]

Just one.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. All right. So you gave up after the first surgery, right?

[Andy Holloway]

No, I had the first surgery, came back, and then blew it out again.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, that's what giving up after the first surgery means.

[Andy Holloway]

I left it all on the field. My skill is still there.

[Mike Wright]

You did. And we won our one championship. All right. Mario in Mexico. Buenos dias, foot clan leaders. I'd like to submit a formal request for Jason to host the show. Oh, I'm sure it would be a lot of fun.

[Andy Holloway]

For who? To find fun and define.

[Mike Wright]

It would be fun. It would be something.

[Andy Holloway]

He would be just fine.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. All right, YouTube question. What do you value more? Your internal scouting or how the NFL values a player AKA their draft capital? Especially when they are very, very different.

[Andy Holloway]

When they're. When they're very different. I do tend to let the draft capital change. I mean, it's not changing my opinion, but it's changing what I believe their outcome are or what the outcome could be. The NFL gets a lot of things Right. I mean, it obviously not every time because we had. We just had camp Scatter Boo, which was the declaration was for me was. Until the NFL tells me that that Cam Scatter Boo is not the guy I believe he is. Then he went in the fourth round. That draft capital says he can't be it, but he was immediately so.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, it is the year of Mike. I think some of your stuff in that department worked out pretty well. I mean, Trayvon as well went much later than people expected. They thought maybe Chicago would take him really early in the draft. He, you know, I don't know what we call Trayvon right now. I don't think we call him like this.

[Andy Holloway]

It was. I don't know if he, if he came through for his draft. Is ADP in fantasy football, what do

[Mike Wright]

you see moving forward? Like, if you just have to throw out a number for Trayvon next year, it's February. You got to throw out a redraft number for Trayvon. I don't have a great conviction about this. I. It was a special year for New England. Their schedule was very easy. They have a shared backfield.

[Andy Holloway]

I think it. I think he improves in year two.

[Mike Wright]

What was his fantasy finish this year? Kyle, do you know that off the top of your head we can go look guessing 20.

[Andy Holloway]

Travion Henderson finished as the running back. 19.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, so.

[Andy Holloway]

But like really.

[Mike Wright]

But I feel like 16 is maybe where I throw him right now.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Right around a top 15 guy.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Yeah. So one last reminder here. Ultimate DraftKit.com this is our last chance before March 1st, which I believe is Sunday. I think it's Sunday. Is that right?

[Al Borland]

That is correct.

[Mike Wright]

Last chance. Ultimate Draft Kit.com if you want a chance to play in the listener league and get a spot there, we are going to say goodbye. That is the end of the show. We're going to let Mike get better, back to bed. We'll be back to full strength hopefully next week. And we appreciate all of you listening here in February.

[Andy Holloway]

Goodbye.
