1. Setting the Stage for the Draft

The episode kicks off with the hosts expressing their excitement about the looming fantasy football draft. Andy Holloway sets a competitive tone, thanking listeners for their dedication:

Andy Holloway [02:06]: "Thank you for being better than your league mates, for being competitive and loving fantasy football."

Jason Moore echoes this enthusiasm, highlighting the draft's proximity and the fun it brings:

Jason Moore [02:15]: "the draft is right. I mean, it's right around the corner. It really is. And that's wild. It's exciting, it's fun."

---

2. "Who am I?" Game: Unveiling David Montgomery

To kick off the podcast, the hosts engage in a playful segment called "Who am I?" where they provide clues about a specific fantasy football player, and listeners are encouraged to guess the identity.

Clue Progression:

• Jason Moore [04:27]: "Clue number one. I have finished as a top 12 fantasy running back one time in my six-year career. It was not 2024."
• Clue number two [05:04]: "In 2024, I had more receptions than Saquon Barkley, Kyron Williams, and James Cook, even though I played in fewer games than each of them."
• Clue number three [06:43]: "In 2024, it was my first season below 200 rushing attempts, below 800 rushing yards, and I had 240 fewer rushing yards than the year prior."
• Clue number four [08:44]: "I still managed to score 12 rushing touchdowns in 2024."

After a series of thoughtful guesses and discussions, the reveal points to David Montgomery, highlighting his consistent performance despite a dip in rushing metrics.

Andy Holloway [09:55]: "The one thing that surprised me the most was actually that David Montgomery has only been an RB one once. That was the hesitation I had that threw me off. That's surprising."

Analysis: The hosts delve into Montgomery's value in drafts, comparing him to previous players like Alvin Kamara. They emphasize his reliability and potential longevity, making him a valuable asset for fantasy teams.

Andy Holloway [11:32]: "I am pretty Bullish on David Montgomery being a value in drafts... This is not a team that's going to say, David, you're out."

---

3. "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire" Segment

In this entertaining segment, titled "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire," the hosts challenge each other with statements about players, determining which ones are fabricated.

Round One: Dubious Distinctions

• Jason Moore [17:04]: "Stat number one or fact number one. Will Levis has more starts with three or more turnovers in his career than starts with two or more passing touchdowns."
• Fact Two [19:01]: "James Conner has 34 rushes that have gained 10 plus yards, fourth most among all running backs and none of them resulted in a touchdown."
• Fact Three [19:59]: "Jaylen Warren is known as a valuable receiving back. Through three seasons and 604 routes run, he has never gotten closer to the end zone than the opponent's four-yard line after a reception."

After deliberation, it’s revealed that the first statement about Will Levis is the lie.

Jason Moore [21:14]: "I'm going to lock that one and it's the lie. I think the Connor one's true. I think the Warren one's true."

Round Two: Certifiably Insane Statistics

• Fact One [22:53]: "Cardinals tight end Trey McBride recorded the most receptions ever for any tight end over their final eight games played in a season."
• Fact Two [23:05]: "Brock Bowers finished as the tight end one with a rookie record of 112 receptions. Yet he gained the fewest fantasy points of any top 10 tight end on plays inside the 10-yard line since the George W. Bush administration ended."
• Fact Three [24:48]: "Nick Westbrook Akina is the only player in NFL history to total nine receiving touchdowns in a season that all occurred within one time zone."

The trio debates fiercely, ultimately identifying the third statement as the fabricated one.

Kyle (Guest) [28:36]: "...The lie is Will Levis three games with three turnovers. You were right on Andy."

---

4. Listener Mailbag: Answering Your Questions

The hosts transition to answering listener-submitted questions, providing personalized advice and sharing their expert opinions.

Question from Bonkey Dan [37:27]:
“What do we think about George Kittle this year?”

Andy Holloway [38:27]:
"George Kittle is competing with Debo Samuels and Brandon AiU. He's not likely going to be drafted above Trey McBride or Brock Bowers. At best, he's going to be the tight end three off the board."

Discussion Highlights:

• Team Dynamics: Mike Wright discusses the 49ers' strategic moves and how they might impact fantasy valuations.
• Player Analysis: The trio evaluates George Kittle’s prospects, considering team competition and offensive strategies.

Another listener, Tiger Tron, inquires about Ashton Genti's potential as a generational talent. The hosts dissect Genti's abilities, comparing him to other standout running backs and debating his draft prospects.

Jason Moore [43:08]: "I would say he's a generational talent."

Andy Holloway [44:32]: "With the way that running back goes, you know, I think there's four or five teams he could [go to]."

---

5. Strategic Insights and Recommendations

Throughout the episode, the hosts offer strategic advice for both redraft and dynasty league formats. They discuss the benefits of keeper leagues, balancing long-term team building with the excitement of draft day.

Andy Holloway [49:18]: "It is the Best of both worlds. ... It really is the best of both worlds."

Jason Moore [49:26]: "We've had a keeper deadline at the NFL draft, so you have the entire offseason... It's part of the fun."

---

6. Final Thoughts and Upcoming Content

As the episode nears its end, the hosts remind listeners to check out their Ultimate Draft Kit, designed to equip players with the tools needed for a successful draft. They also preview topics for upcoming episodes, ensuring listeners stay tuned for more expert analysis and entertainment.

Jason Moore [50:26]: "We're going to be going through the biggest free agency winners and losers. We'll also catch up on any news that we missed by Pre-recording a little bit."

[Andy Holloway]

Playing some games.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, we're playing some games today. Kyle the Borgogan put together the Liar Liar. Just kind of some two truths and a lie. We'll try to figure that out on the fly. Have no idea what that segment's going to entail.

[Mike Wright]

We are like, we're recording a bit early because the kids are on spring break. This is like field day. Oh yeah, this is like the field day for us because we're all getting ready to go on to our spring break. But we had. Look, we got to get a show out for everybody. So when school's like field day.

[Andy Holloway]

We don't have anything to teach. Let's just make them run around.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Or if you're in Arizona, water day. Which that was the best.

[Mike Wright]

Like I. The reason I thought of that is because my son is legit has field day today.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

And he is furious because they had removed all the water stuff.

[Andy Holloway]

Come on, man.

[Jason Moore]

Have you. I mean, it works out how cold it is today.

[Mike Wright]

When they planned it, they didn't realize that we were going to have this weird cold vortex come into Arizona at our school.

[Jason Moore]

Jason, I'm sure you did the same thing. It was leaky can races.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah. For sure.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Over the head.

[Jason Moore]

Over the head.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Hey, I'm getting nods from the solo deucer back there in deucer's alley. We did those as well. It was a good time.

[Mike Wright]

It was like just full on double dare stuff.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, yeah. Fun times. All right, field day for the footballers going on today. We got a giveaway. Keep the party rolling. FootClan giveaway.com sign Drake London Jersey go to FootClang giveaway.com to enter for free the draft kit at ultimate draft kit.com but let's go ahead and let's play.

[Andy Holloway]

I want to play the game.

[Jason Moore]

All right, we're gonna play some who am I? I'm gonna give you clues one at a time. They'll become, you know, less helpful to more helpful in the clue department. If you think you know the answer, let me know.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

But keep it, keep it quiet so people at home could play along a little bit of who am I on the low. Yeah, keep it on the low. All right. Clue number one. I have.

[Mike Wright]

I know who it is.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, boy. Wow. Take your guess, Mike. That's it. You're luck.

[Mike Wright]

I wrote it down.

[Jason Moore]

No. I have finished as a top 12 fantasy running back one time. We got a running back in my six year career.

[Mike Wright]

Six years.

[Jason Moore]

And it was not 2024.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, all right.

[Jason Moore]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

So one timer, six years now. So he's going into year seven.

[Jason Moore]

I have finished as a top 12 fantasy running back One time in my six year career. It was not 2024. So I assume neither of you are locking in on that.

[Andy Holloway]

No.

[Jason Moore]

Clue number two. In 2024, I had more receptions than Saquon Barkley, Kyron Williams and James Cook, even though I played in fewer games than each of them. So. So in this past year Going into year seven in this past. So the clues here. In the past year, wasn't a top 12 fantasy running back, but has been.

[Andy Holloway]

But has been.

[Jason Moore]

And also in 2024, did have more receptions than Saquon Kyren and James Cook.

[Andy Holloway]

On a second contract. Missed games.

[Jason Moore]

You're putting the. Jason's doing the mental exercises. Nobody locked in.

[Andy Holloway]

I have a guess.

[Mike Wright]

I don't yet.

[Jason Moore]

But you're not locking.

[Andy Holloway]

No, I'm not locking. That's not enough clues.

[Jason Moore]

You're not going for a clue to lock.

[Andy Holloway]

That's big points. Do I get big points? A lot. I will lock the heck out of this.

[Mike Wright]

Of course you get big points.

[Andy Holloway]

I am locked.

[Jason Moore]

Big points.

[Andy Holloway]

Big points.

[Jason Moore]

Doesn't know what points are. Doesn't know how many to win, but gets big points.

[Andy Holloway]

There's only one.

[Jason Moore]

So you're locked.

[Andy Holloway]

There's not even, like, rounds to this.

[Jason Moore]

No, I like your. So you're locked.

[Andy Holloway]

But if you lock first before Mike and you get it right, you win. Okay. That is just saying I am 100% locked.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

I reserve the right to change my mind.

[Mike Wright]

That is.

[Andy Holloway]

He's locked, but he has the key. Exactly.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, my God.

[Mike Wright]

Look, I locked it.

[Andy Holloway]

I locked it. I could unlock it.

[Jason Moore]

All right, Clue number three.

[Andy Holloway]

There's a button you push, it just wipes the board.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, you do have one of those little. What do they call those? Boogie boards. Boogie. Clue 3. 2024 was my first season below 200 rushing attempts, below 800 rushing yards, and I had 240 fewer rushing yards than the year prior.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't like that.

[Jason Moore]

Does that not fit with your luck?

[Andy Holloway]

Say it one more time for the people.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. In 2024, it was my first season below 200 rushing attempts, below 800 rushing yards, and I had 240 fewer rushing yards than the year before.

[Andy Holloway]

Wow.

[Mike Wright]

I have my name down that.

[Andy Holloway]

Really? Really? Really?

[Mike Wright]

Oh, unlock.

[Andy Holloway]

I am unlocked.

[Jason Moore]

You're unlocked. Who were you locking? I think it's bad to share.

[Andy Holloway]

I was thinking Tony Pollard, Second contract, missed a couple games.

[Mike Wright]

That's the name I just wrote down.

[Andy Holloway]

But I don't know that he's been over 200 carries his whole career. I feel like he was an efficiency guy.

[Jason Moore]

I think it's good to hear people hear you.

[Mike Wright]

2024 was my first season below. Oh, yeah. Then it can't be him.

[Andy Holloway]

But I do have another.

[Jason Moore]

You heard above. Yeah. So, yeah, Kyle apparently had been guessing Tony Pollard on his side. Tony Pollard is not the answer.

[Mike Wright]

No.

[Jason Moore]

So for those of you at home.

[Mike Wright]

After rereading clue three. It was very obvious it was not Tony Pollard.

[Jason Moore]

So one top 12 finish in a six year career.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

More receptions last year than Barkley, Kyren and James Cook. Not combined, but each of them individually, but played less games than them. And fewer than 200 rushing attempts last year. Below 800 rushing yards and 240 fewer rushing yards than the prior year.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm locked.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, you're locked.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, that's still pretty big points.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that's pretty good. That's not big, big points, but that's.

[Andy Holloway]

You do have a slight deduction for.

[Jason Moore]

Locking and unlocking, though. Mike, are you. You're not locked?

[Mike Wright]

No.

[Jason Moore]

Okay. Clue number four. I still managed. This one's gonna. This one's gonna make it easier. I still managed to score 12 rushing touchdowns in 2024. Jason is.

[Andy Holloway]

Do I have it?

[Jason Moore]

If you're on the YouTube, you can see some initials on the board.

[Mike Wright]

From what I can see, it looks like bm.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Good healthy bowel movement.

[Jason Moore]

It's not BM, but the initials.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. And that's where you're going with.

[Jason Moore]

That's who he's lent a lot.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I'm lost.

[Mike Wright]

Doug Martin.

[Jason Moore]

Which. Those at home. I mean, if you're still playing along. You know what DM stands for?

[Mike Wright]

Dungeon master. Yes. We all know.

[Jason Moore]

Mike. Are you. You want the last clue?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I want the last clue.

[Jason Moore]

Last clue is my show nickname. Got used when I had more opportunities.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Jason Moore]

Yes. The answer is DeMarco Murray. No, it's David Montgomery. Which, you know, sometimes it's fun to see it laid out that way because, you know, to look at last year and say it's his first year, fewer than 200 rushing attempts, below 800 rushing yards, he got hurt.

[Andy Holloway]

The one thing that surprised. Surprised me the most was actually that David Montgomery has only been an RB one once. That was the. That was the hesitation I had that threw me off. That's surprising.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Let's see. Let's see where he actually.

[Mike Wright]

He did it in year two when he put up 1070 on the ground.

[Andy Holloway]

Then he's really.

[Mike Wright]

And caught 54 passes and then he was fringe in 2023. Yeah, I mean, RB13.

[Andy Holloway]

That. That was the thing is. Yeah, he was just one spot after. It's surprising that a guy can have 13 rushing touchdowns and not crack the top 12.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Yeah. What is your general sentiment around DM next year around David Montgomery, where I think a lot of people believe that, you know, this is going to be Jameer Gibbs's peak seasons?

[Andy Holloway]

I am pretty Bullish on David Montgomery being a value in drafts. We see this from time to time. Like we saw it with Alvin Camaro in back to back years where you're playing awesome, you're having an excellent year for fantasy, you're gold. And then you miss the most important part of the playoffs. You know, the end of the season comes around, you let me down and you're older. So now everyone is scared, like it's just going to go away. The Detroit Lions are. Even if David Montgomery gets a little less and Jameer Gibbs gets a little more, which totally can see that happening. This is not a team that's going to say, David, you're out. Like they gave him a contract.

[Jason Moore]

How do you think he is? Do you already know the answer?

[Andy Holloway]

I don't know. I would guess just under 28.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Right around 28.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. He's 27.8.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Wow.

[Jason Moore]

Three years left on the contract.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Three years left on the contract. He's got money, he's great for the team. He's excellent around the goal line. So will he be a top 12 running back next year? No. Will he be a value for wherever he's drafted? Absolutely. Barring injury. I don't see a world where, you know, 28 year old David Montgomery behind that offensive line disappoints and doesn't get opportunities next year.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. It's interesting. He had the reception stat there. Right where he was despite playing 14 games.

[Andy Holloway]

That was a little. I mean. Yes. That's cool.

[Mike Wright]

He had 36 last year.

[Andy Holloway]

That was what I was going to say. It's not like he had a ton of receptions. They picked out guys who had great fantasy seasons with surprisingly few receptions.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Tried to trick you.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Like Saquon for being the number one running back had.

[Mike Wright]

It is a game.

[Andy Holloway]

Right, right. That I won.

[Mike Wright]

You did.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, you did. You got some points and yeah, Monty, because of unlocking.

[Mike Wright]

Just letting you know in normal game show format, when you, when you smash the button, you give your answer.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. If you had locked Pollard, you would have been the first. Wrong guy.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I didn't. I unlocked you.

[Jason Moore]

Did you play the game by any means necessary. Now what about the 14 games in two consecutive years? Is that a concern?

[Andy Holloway]

I don't think it's a concern. He's built for a workload. I mean, you can argue one that that's a pretty good amount of games for running backs to finish in consecutive season.

[Mike Wright]

You expect to miss 1 to 2 a year.

[Andy Holloway]

Also, he tore his ACL and was done for his career and then played in the playoffs. You know what I mean?

[Mike Wright]

Was it that, what was it an ACL injury?

[Andy Holloway]

No. Well, it was a fear of whatever it was. Yeah, it was meniscus.

[Mike Wright]

They were going to shut him down for the year.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. And then he got like 17, 17 doctor opinions until he got the one that's like, no, you're good, bro. Just.

[Mike Wright]

He just had to keep going down. Eventually we went to Bob. He's on fifth Street. He cleared me. We're good to go.

[Jason Moore]

You can find a doctor on Instagram reels.

[Andy Holloway]

I think he just kept going. Doctor on demand. Refresh. What do you think about this picture? No. Okay, Refresh. What do you think about this?

[Jason Moore]

All right, let's go ahead and we'll take an early break and then we'll jump into Liar. Liar.

Jason dominant victory and. But I'm playing along in this one, so let's do it.

[Mike Wright]

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

[Jason Moore]

All right. So Beboppy, you got that Spitballers skeet up. Apparently this is the sixth time we've played Liar Liar. Kyle has. Kyle has put this entire Liar liar segment together today. How many rounds are we doing? Three rounds. Three rounds. That is correct. Three rounds. Kyle, is he on the microphone? People can hear him?

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, sir.

[Jason Moore]

That's a shame.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

All right.

[Andy Holloway]

Sorry about that, everybody.

[Jason Moore]

Round one titled Dubious distinctions.

[Andy Holloway]

Dubious.

[Jason Moore]

So the way this works is I'm going to read three supposed facts. Two of them are absolutely true. One of them is absolutely a Kyle manufactured lie.

[Andy Holloway]

I hope he manufactures lies better than owl on the spitballers because I still. I have watched my dogs not be in the direction of north and south when they poop. That was not a fact. Anyways.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, that's. That's a deep cut. Here's stat number one or fact number one.

[Mike Wright]

I think it's a. Your dog problem.

[Andy Holloway]

It's both of them. So he's my dogs. Okay. It's not a fact.

[Jason Moore]

What was the conjecture? The concept was that dogs always poop things. Dogs have a strong preference for aligning.

[Andy Holloway]

Their bodies along north south axis when defecating.

[Jason Moore]

So strong.

[Andy Holloway]

That was not how it was not worded. Strong preference.

[Jason Moore]

Yes, it was.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, it was. Now. Yeah, I have no idea how I worded it. Yeah, it definitely wasn't worded like that. It should have been.

[Jason Moore]

And Jason's contention was that they do not.

[Andy Holloway]

They do not always. Which is how the word. I'm going to pick it up, look it up, because I'll be honest. I will let you know what I put in the doc. Yeah, I know.

[Jason Moore]

If you spun a human around. If you spun a human around in a circle a bunch of times and then let them go and had them. And had them nap. Yes. Well, I mean, eventually, like. And you have them naturally choose which direction they would sit to go to the bathroom, would humans do the same thing?

[Andy Holloway]

I would sit forward on the toilet each time?

[Jason Moore]

No. There's a hole in the ground in this situation.

[Andy Holloway]

No. There's no. I would not look at the sun and be like, I'd like the sun on my back.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I'd be barfing in the hole.

[Jason Moore]

All right, we are getting away from this game. All right, round one. Dubious three supposed facts here. Will Levis has more starts with three or more turnovers in his career than starts with two or more passing touchdowns.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, that one seems good.

[Jason Moore]

That one seems definitely.

[Andy Holloway]

Say that one more time.

[Jason Moore]

I didn't puzzle that. More starts with three or more turnovers.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

Then starts with two or more passing touchdowns.

[Andy Holloway]

Holy moly.

[Jason Moore]

That seems very plausible stat number two. Fact number two. James Conner has 34 rushes that have gained 10 plus yards, fourth most among all running backs and none of them resulted in a touchdown.

[Andy Holloway]

That feels so, so true. I mean, that guy breaks. I mean, he plays every time and he's never broken away in his life.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I was going to say there's multiple times I thought he was going to score and he didn't. I know that. And the third fact, slash, maybe lie. Jaylen Warren is known as a valuable receiving back. Through three seasons and 604 routes run, he has never gotten closer to the end zone than the opponent's four yard line after a reception.

[Andy Holloway]

I know he did not have any receiving touchdowns this last year, but I don't know if that's being used against us here.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I feel like if I know Kyle, he would want to amplify your somewhat unsubstantiated hatred of Jalen Warren.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, I was thinking you were going like the Will Levis one. The Will Levis one to me seems like one of those where because we know he turns ball over a lot and we love, you know, making fun of Banana Rama that you would just amplify the bad and we'll just accept it as true. But you think that.

[Jason Moore]

I think he wants to keep you with the necessary ammo to dislike Jaylen Warren, who will probably be the starting running back next year and probably a good pick.

[Andy Holloway]

I want this said really clearly because it is, it is a, this is a fact. I think Jalen Warren is an excellent football player and if he is the guy next year, I am all in on Jalen Warren.

[Jason Moore]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

My dislike of Jalen Warren was 10 points per game was the. While he was the backup to Najee, he wasn't good for fantasy.

[Jason Moore]

I think the Will Levis stat is the lie. I'm going to lock that in and we'll take turns being the first person to lock.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

But I'm Going to be three is a lot. I think that Will Levis stat is a misdirection by Kyle and I'm going to go. I'm going to lock that one and it's the lie. I think the Connor one's true. I think the Warren one's true.

[Andy Holloway]

I, I'm, I'm very happy you locked in the Will Leviss because I could see it going that way. I'm going to lock in the Jalen Warren because he's been such a good receiving back. But if he has not gotten to the goal line ever or even closer than the four yard line, it would be surprising. Seems like a great find. If that is true.

[Jason Moore]

Mike, it's decision time.

[Mike Wright]

Do we, do we play the game?

[Jason Moore]

Oh, because you're saying if we could all make it, one of us will make it through. I wouldn't play the game. I try to get it right.

[Mike Wright]

All right, well, it's, it's us versus Kyle, which is. It's an important thing that, that we win.

[Jason Moore]

But he's, he's remote. We can just hang up on him.

[Mike Wright]

You know, I'm going to go with the Warren one.

[Jason Moore]

All right. Two votes for Warren. My choice was Will Levis. Kyle, are you going to be the one revealing here or Al or. I'll let Kyle do the honors. What's the actual lie here? The lie is Will Levis three games with three turnovers. You were right on Andy. Okay. All right. So the. So I'm alive.

[Andy Holloway]

Andy's in the lead.

[Jason Moore]

I'm alive. Kyle is getting us ready for round two which he has titled certifiably insane statistics. Here we go. I'm sure this is going to get bad. Kyle is. Takes a lot of pride in this stuff. Stat. Number one. Cardinals tight end Trey McBride is a certifiable beast.

[Mike Wright]

He recorded.

[Jason Moore]

That part's next.

[Andy Holloway]

Next question.

[Mike Wright]

You can't have a half lie, right?

[Jason Moore]

He recorded the most receptions ever for any tight end over their final eight games played in a season.

[Mike Wright]

That possible? That feels possible because it started slow for Trey McBride because the Cardinals are being buffoons. So that one man. Yeah, that one feels plausible.

[Jason Moore]

Number two, Brock Bowers finished as the tight end one with a rookie record of one hundred and twelve receptions. That's. That's true. Yet he gained the fewest fantasy points of any top 10 tight end on plays inside the 10 yard line since the George W. Bush administration ended.

[Mike Wright]

Kyle, how convoluted does the status.

[Jason Moore]

This one's pretty convoluted and true. I bet. I bet that one's true.

[Andy Holloway]

He was fantasy, but not.

[Jason Moore]

How many times do you work the George Bush administration into his show?

[Mike Wright]

It's not the Bush one. It's just.

[Jason Moore]

It's the time.

[Mike Wright]

It's fun to call back to. You're like, hey, we haven't seen this since Jimmy Carter.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, it is. It is a fun thing to say.

[Andy Holloway]

Now, this is. I thought first, at first that this was the fewest fantasy points of any of those tight end ones, but this has the fewest fantasy points of any top 10 tight end of 10. Right. Right inside the 10. I'm just thinking it doesn't take much to be a top 10 tight end. Did he really do that?

[Jason Moore]

He didn't score a lot. But you would think that McBride had fewer than Bowers because McBride didn't score.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, McBride scored two touchdowns inside the 10 that were not receiving.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

So three rushing and fumble recovery.

[Jason Moore]

Bowers had what, like five touchdowns?

[Mike Wright]

I have no idea right now.

[Jason Moore]

All right, the third stat here. Nick Westbrook Akina is the only player in NFL history to total nine receiving touchdowns in a season that all occurred within one time zone.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, my gosh, Kyle, you're so stupid.

[Jason Moore]

So when you say certifiably insane stats, I interpreted that as like, these stats will blow you away.

[Andy Holloway]

Right.

[Jason Moore]

I think the key word here is insane. An insane person would find these stats. That's the key. Yeah, you're right on your history and.

[Mike Wright]

You'Re going, this is.

[Jason Moore]

That would be central time zone.

[Mike Wright]

And Tennessee is. Is Tennessee in central?

[Jason Moore]

Nashville is central. Yeah. I mean, how would you know this?

[Andy Holloway]

Also, like, what database do you go to compare? Like, I get. I get that you could look at, you know, Nick Westbrook, Akini and say, oh, look, all his were in one time zone. But now how do you compare that to all of NFL history? You got a time zone reference guide.

[Jason Moore]

And what cocktail of drugs did you combine to develop these stats?

[Mike Wright]

Guys, I'm stuck on Tennessee is in central.

[Jason Moore]

What'd you think there est.

[Mike Wright]

I'm looking at a map of the United States and where the middle line.

[Jason Moore]

Is, it's a split.

[Mike Wright]

And Tennessee is very clearly not in the middle.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, so Tennessee is half Eastern, half.

[Mike Wright]

Central, half their state is on one.

[Andy Holloway]

That happens. That happens. It's okay.

[Mike Wright]

No, that's not okay. That's dumb. You're like, over here is 2:00, over here is 1:00.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean, you do that anywhere. You do it literally wherever it changes, whether it's a state line.

[Mike Wright]

But I have to go across A border.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't.

[Mike Wright]

There's people who check and make sure that I'm not bringing in fresh produce.

[Andy Holloway]

Only in California, I don't know.

[Jason Moore]

But they don't check the produce in Tennessee. On this line, though.

[Mike Wright]

This is. That's absurd. Kentucky.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I was gonna say Kentucky. You're gonna have a problem with the.

[Mike Wright]

Panhandle down in Florida.

[Jason Moore]

A little bit of Florida.

[Mike Wright]

Y'all need to get it together. What is happening, Mike.

[Jason Moore]

Mike has strong opinions. Mike scrapes because look.

[Mike Wright]

Look how it curves. So look. Look at the.

[Andy Holloway]

Look at the.

[Mike Wright]

What the.

[Andy Holloway]

Yup.

[Mike Wright]

Of Michigan. What it. Nobody.

[Jason Moore]

They're listening on a podcast. Nobody can look at it. I know you're saying.

[Andy Holloway]

I know what you're saying. But also, it's a globe. So while we're looking at a flat map, it's not really.

[Jason Moore]

Mike doesn't believe that.

[Mike Wright]

Look, Kyrie makes me to say, but Michigan's curving over Wisconsin and so you can go north and be in a different time zone. This is absurd.

[Jason Moore]

Back to the absurdity notwithstanding. Well, these are insane stats, Mike. So insane seems to be ridiculous. Now, the three stats, just to remind people. Trey McBride records the most receptions ever for a tight end over the final eight games. Brock Bowers, Fewest fantasy points of any top 10 tight end on plays inside the 10 since the Bush administration.

[Andy Holloway]

When.

[Jason Moore]

When about was that ended in, I guess, 09. Yeah. And then the Westbrook Akina is the central time zone. I feel like, what's worse? That Kyle does know the Central Times on stat or that he made it up?

[Andy Holloway]

The problem is you can't make up a lie. Like, couldn't it accidentally be true if he can't vet it? You know what I mean?

[Mike Wright]

You can't prove me wrong.

[Jason Moore]

Any lie could technically accidentally be right until you vet it.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm going to take The Brock Bowers one. The top 10 line. Feels like there's got to be tight ends snuck in that did less than Brock Bowers.

[Jason Moore]

I'm with since the Bush administration. I'm going Bowers.

[Mike Wright]

I like the Trey McBride one. That one feels the most true. I'm going the Westbrook Akini one.

[Jason Moore]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

For principle.

[Jason Moore]

All right, Kyle, reveal. The Westbrook Aquina is a complete lie. He caught touchdowns in multiple times.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, that's how you know it's a. Oh, Derek Gummy.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, well, that's what I was trying. Like it was at nine at home, where all his touchdowns and home games.

[Jason Moore]

That's what I was thinking about that.

[Andy Holloway]

In hindsight, it was unlocked. Clearly Unlock it was so clearly that one. Because you can't vet this. There's no way to know this Kyle vet stuff.

[Jason Moore]

Kyle figures out ways to figure this out.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh my God.

[Jason Moore]

You got AI now.

[Andy Holloway]

So absurd.

[Mike Wright]

I'm back, baby.

[Andy Holloway]

Kyle, I love you. You are so stupid. You are such.

[Jason Moore]

It's going to get worse because he just revealed the third round and it's about me apparently.

[Andy Holloway]

Andyisms.

[Mike Wright]

Let's go.

[Jason Moore]

Great. Great. Kyle always surprised isn't this. Didn't he do a liar liar where he figured out the amount of feet it would take to walk to the Cardinal stadium or something like that was passing.

[Mike Wright]

It was like Ryan Fitzpatrick's passing yard.

[Andy Holloway]

Had the exact same number of feet.

[Jason Moore]

Look, I'm going to volunteer somebody else to read these ones. I'm not reading about my own.

[Mike Wright]

All right.

[Jason Moore]

Andy has a.

[Andy Holloway]

Since 2021, Andy endured three separate tooth related injuries. Yet he missed fewer footballers episodes due to tooth related injuries than episodes Deucers exited mid show to go poop. Okay. Three different tooth injuries missed fewer episodes than Deucers pooping deuces do. Some interesting possible fact number two, since losing in the league of record championship game to owl Andy. Remember you did that. Andy has mentioned baseball on a higher percentage of footballers episodes than Anthony Richardson's career completion percentage.

[Mike Wright]

So we're talking that means a little.

[Jason Moore]

Over 40 something percent.

[Mike Wright]

Is he down at 44?

[Jason Moore]

He's probably around 50.

[Mike Wright]

It was about half.

[Jason Moore]

50.6.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

Oh man.

[Andy Holloway]

All right.

[Mike Wright]

So just over half.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. And the final possible truth. Andy has said the phrase pack your things to employees in the fantasy footballer Slack channel fewer times than the number of rushing touchdowns Taysom Hill has had in his career. 33. Taysom Hill has had 33 rushing touchdowns.

[Jason Moore]

I think I've fired people more than that.

[Andy Holloway]

You have to have fired people.

[Jason Moore]

I mean fake fired. Fake fired people.

[Mike Wright]

You guys are just not at all surprised at that. Taysom Hill has 33 rushing touchdowns.

[Andy Holloway]

He's had a long career.

[Jason Moore]

It does feel like every year is the same for Taysom Hill, which like his career is infinite. 33 does.

[Andy Holloway]

Are you saying maybe that's the lie? No, that part Taysom Hill only has.

[Jason Moore]

That part can't be the lie. Yeah, that part can't be made up.

[Mike Wright]

Blowing my mind.

[Andy Holloway]

Don't tell Kyle what he can't do with his lies.

[Jason Moore]

So I think I've said pack your things. More than that, I would say you.

[Andy Holloway]

Mentioning baseball on more than 50% of shows seems like. I know we bring it up, but that I don't think you mention it on more than half.

[Jason Moore]

No, And I don't remember missing shows with my teeth. I remember flipping spots and sitting where Mike was sitting. Yeah, maybe I missed a show with a tooth.

[Andy Holloway]

Medusers poop so much.

[Jason Moore]

I've never pooped mid show.

[Andy Holloway]

That's true. It's the two that are missing right now.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, where could they be?

[Andy Holloway]

Inducers alley. And to be fair, we did verify before the show that one of them was literally pooping while, I mean, he was on the zoom. But he's pooping. Like, come on.

[Mike Wright]

He's zooping.

[Andy Holloway]

He's. Oh, zooping. Nice.

[Mike Wright]

You ever take a good soup?

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, man, I feel like that's going to hurt. My enjoyment soups at the Olive Garden now. I'm a big Zupa Toscana fan, and now I got a new imagery that I don't want to deal with there.

[Mike Wright]

My bad.

[Jason Moore]

But he doesn't get the. He doesn't get the Zupa trophy.

[Mike Wright]

No, he's not here. All right, so it's a tooth one. Baseball versus Anthony Richardson or firing people versus Taysom Hill. Rushing. Touchdown.

[Jason Moore]

It says since I lost the championship game, we've recorded a lot of shows since then. There's no way I'm over 50% on baseball. I'm going to say that one's a lie.

[Andy Holloway]

I think that's the lie.

[Jason Moore]

While I wear my baseball cap.

[Andy Holloway]

That doesn't count. All right, I'm going to lock that one in as well as baseball. More than half.

[Jason Moore]

That does mean, Mike, if you change it right, you would win.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, Jason, you can't win that.

[Jason Moore]

Well, he can't win anyways.

[Mike Wright]

No, he could.

[Jason Moore]

Hasn't he gotten it wrong twice?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, but.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, he could. Oh, we could get it wrong.

[Andy Holloway]

I will lock in last.

[Mike Wright]

It's too late.

[Andy Holloway]

You're already. No, I'm unlocked. I had the key, brother.

[Mike Wright]

No, that key was for a different game. It's a different shape.

[Andy Holloway]

Locksmith. I'm a third generation locksmith. All right, what are you. So you locked in baseball?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

What are you going, Mike?

[Mike Wright]

I'm going. The has said it fewer than 33. I'm going to go with the. Pack your things.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm clearly going with the tooth related injuries. No way is that the.

[Jason Moore]

All right, Kyle, reveal your stupidity. It's baseball. You've only referenced it eight times. Oh, that's not bad. I could work a few more in there.

[Andy Holloway]

That's about, I would say, seven too many. I'll give, like, one out of 50 episodes.

[Jason Moore]

I've only referenced it 11 times is what it looks like. Oh, wait. In three episodes, I've said pack your things 28 times to employees. I feel like it's really dropped off. That used to be like a go.

[Andy Holloway]

To, but it wasn't always slack. It's really. If you added the verbal, which we can't track, I mean, it's got to be in the hundreds.

[Jason Moore]

Apparently, I was the first one you said it to.

[Andy Holloway]

That makes sense.

[Jason Moore]

And somebody. And you didn't listen.

[Andy Holloway]

Probably the most frequent as well. Probably.

[Jason Moore]

I only missed one episode with tooth related injuries, apparently.

[Andy Holloway]

Impressive.

[Jason Moore]

That's good. All right.

[Mike Wright]

Well, I mean, that's more than I've missed for tooth.

[Jason Moore]

Well, you know.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I haven't missed any for teeth either. Now that you put it that way.

[Jason Moore]

Everybody can know.

[Mike Wright]

Which I'm at zero.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I've had injuries. Yeah, Tooth injuries.

[Mike Wright]

Teeth injuries.

[Andy Holloway]

Teeth injuries.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. But I don't think. I think we've had to stop the show for each of you to go to the bathroom.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, yes, for sure.

[Andy Holloway]

But that was not what this was about.

[Jason Moore]

All right, we'll take a break. We'll do some mailbag. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Who is your support system? How have they changed your life?

[Andy Holloway]

Toast sticks, starting at $2.99, are the.

[Mike Wright]

Same French toast sticks you love now. Banana flavored and served with chocolate dipping sauce.

[Jason Moore]

So good. And another way Jack gives you so much more. Does that mean I won that game?

[Mike Wright]

It Does.

[Andy Holloway]

Sure.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

No, you got two.

[Andy Holloway]

I think Kyle won because nobody got all three.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that's. Go ahead and hang up on him.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Mute his microphone.

[Jason Moore]

Pack your things, Kyle.

[Andy Holloway]

Mailbag.

[Mike Wright]

Field day.

[Jason Moore]

Field day.

[Mike Wright]

It's a little loose.

[Andy Holloway]

This episode is brought to you by enjoyment.

[Jason Moore]

All right, Mailbag questions. We're going to answer them. If you have a question, you can go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com, click the submit a question button or dial the voicemail hotline. 302464. TFFB. Oh, boy, oh boy. Do we have. I see.

[Mike Wright]

Do we have what?

[Jason Moore]

I see a voicemail question. That's the one. Okay. Bonkey Dan from Kentucky. What it do, Jason, How'd you enjoy Kentucky for Valentine's Day?

[Andy Holloway]

Was the weather great? Are you moving here soon?

[Jason Moore]

And what do we think about George Kittle this year?

[Andy Holloway]

He gonna be a top three tight.

[Jason Moore]

End with all the moves 49ers are making, or does he fall off the relevant tight end list? First of all, that's Funky Dan from Kentucky.

[Mike Wright]

What up, Funky Dan?

[Andy Holloway]

What's up?

[Jason Moore]

And he wants to know because you went there for Valentine's Day to do a little bourbon.

[Andy Holloway]

We did. We went on a three distillery tour. I learned how little I knew about the bourbon making process. It was a great time. The weather was not great, little sloshy and rainy, but it was.

[Jason Moore]

Didn't you get stuck in Kentucky?

[Andy Holloway]

We did get stuck in Kentucky. The airport couldn't de ice their planes because there was a cold front and so we won't be moving there. I had a great time. But what's the. I will never be back.

[Jason Moore]

What's Kentucky like? In a couple of words?

[Andy Holloway]

Bourbon.

[Jason Moore]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

Whiskey.

[Jason Moore]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

Finn. Full stop. That is. It's unbelievable. Which is awesome. It was just every place we went, every restaurant, every building, every store is just all about that bourbon that Louisville is made for. Bourbon. And college football, I think that's it.

[Mike Wright]

How do people get anything done?

[Jason Moore]

College basketball.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, okay, sure, yeah. College sports. But George Kittle.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Concerns.

[Andy Holloway]

No concerns.

[Jason Moore]

Feeling pretty good about Kittle right now. The.

[Mike Wright]

What the 49ers are doing right now should be very exciting for fantasy football purposes. Like, this is what we want. We want the Cincinnati Bengals of last year. We want a team that can be a high powered, potent offense and then that defense sucks, so they have to keep playing. Like, that's been a huge problem with the 49ers is their offenses have always been strong, but then their defenses are strong or stronger.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, and a big problem with George Kittle is. He's had to compete with Debo Samuels, had to compete with Brandon iu. He's. Now he is like he might be the primary target and if he's not, he's going to be high in the packing order coming off of a great season with a bad defense and he's not going to be the number one tight end drafter. There's no world where he's.

[Mike Wright]

No, no, no.

[Andy Holloway]

No world where he's drafted above Trey McBride or Brock Bowers. So he is at best going to be the tight end. Three off the board.

[Jason Moore]

As much as I'd love to disparage the 49ers because the off season is giving us the storyline of a bunch of stars departing, which is true. They're going to be fine.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They will not. I mean I brought this up on the last episode.

[Jason Moore]

Their odds even right now, I mean, I've checked. They're the sixth highest, highest super bowl winner odds in the NFL. So Jason had brought up that they're the favorites out of the west, but they're the sixth highest odds to win the super bowl post free agency.

[Mike Wright]

So, yeah. I'm looking back at Shanahan's career with the 49ers. I mean it started a little bit bumpy. Then they got all the players in. They go to what was that the super bowl year because they were the NFC champions in 2019.

[Andy Holloway]

They've had some bad seasons too.

[Mike Wright]

And then.

[Andy Holloway]

Right.

[Mike Wright]

I mean after that, then it was a six win team, double digits for three years, then down to the six year spot.

[Jason Moore]

But doesn't that surprise you that the Vegas odds haven't changed to move them lower with all this ground? I mean they were last in the division for what it's worth. Definitely the highest odds of last to first of any team.

[Mike Wright]

I would say it does surprise me. But there is also a. Like they know what they're doing of taking people's money.

[Jason Moore]

Sure.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, sure. The 49ers are still. They're super favorites. Guys get in on this action. Thank you for your money.

[Jason Moore]

Like, yeah.

[Mike Wright]

So I don't know how much the house does that type of a thing, but that's what it feels like to me. How is it not the Rams?

[Jason Moore]

Are you a bourbon guy, Al? Do you like bourbon? No. So Mike, do you enjoy Old Fashioned?

[Mike Wright]

I don't know.

[Jason Moore]

Or like a straight whiskey?

[Mike Wright]

I like it in Coca Cola. Cola. But I'm sure that the bourbon people will find that unacceptable.

[Jason Moore]

That's that. I feel a great deal of pressure to like bourbon.

[Andy Holloway]

Me too.

[Jason Moore]

Especially I hang out with Jason a.

[Andy Holloway]

Lot and he loves the bourbon, but.

[Jason Moore]

I just can't get behind it. And you and I are sipping White Russians. Vodka, tequila, rum. Any of that's fine. I'm not a bourbon guy. Yeah, I've tried. Yeah, no, I've had good bourbon.

[Andy Holloway]

Yep. To each their own. It is not everyone's jam. Just like my wife loves it. I can't stand IPAs.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, brother.

[Andy Holloway]

Exactly.

[Mike Wright]

So bitter.

[Jason Moore]

Mike's gripes and IPAs fit together perfectly. All right, we got a question from Tiger Tron on X. Tiger. Yeah. D. Tiger Tron. Hello, ballers. Is Ashton Genti a generational talent? This is. This is a good question. I have been. I'm such an Amarian Hampton fan that I have felt this, like, hot take, temptation to go and rank him ahead of Genti at times. You know, there's the question marks around Genti. You have to do with, you know, where he played and the competition he faced. But I would. I say he's a general. Yes, I would. Answer the question.

[Mike Wright]

All right.

[Jason Moore]

I would say he's a generational talent. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

So the generational talent obviously means or should mean it comes, you know, once in a generation. He is the landmark prospect, you know, and by generation, I'm not talking like human generation, but like little short eras. Couple years. Yeah. NFL football, you know, you had the. You had the Patton Manning, you had the Andrew Locke, you know, and then it was supposed to be Trevor Lawrence, but, you know, it wasn't. And so when I look at how I view recent prospects, you know, I saw Bijon as a better prospect than Ash and Genti, bigger body, better competition. There are a few worries. And obviously, Ashton Genti is my 101 and across all positions for running backs and for all other positions for rookies. I think he is going to succeed, have great draft capital, be a very great fantasy player. But as far as whether he stacks up where Saquon was when Saquon was.

[Jason Moore]

Coming out, I think Saquon was a better prospect.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

But I think. I think Bijan is the. I would put him in the same tier as Bijan. I would put him probably slightly at or above Jonathan Taylor. And just the fact that he's got the potential to be a top six pick, I mean, I really wish.

[Andy Holloway]

I know it's. I know it's silly, but I. Because he played at Boise State, because he played there, I wish he tested at the combine. It just gives me a little bit of fears because he doesn't need to. If I was his agent, I would tell him, don't you dare. There's nowhere to go but down.

[Mike Wright]

Is he doing a pro day?

[Andy Holloway]

I'm sure he'll do a pro day at some point. Yeah. But I want to see, you know, the official 40 time there, you know, because he's a little bit more undersized than usually. Like the premium guys that are taken first, you know, at the running back position each year are usually 220 pounds, you know, or up there, he's a little bit smaller. And if, if it was okay because he's running a 4:3, you know, I just feel a little better.

[Jason Moore]

I just feel like we're, we're so. Like I'm just going to take what he did at face value for the most part.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. 2600 rushing yards, 29 rushing touchdowns last year. Obviously, he's great.

[Jason Moore]

There's been some, some premier running backs that were discounted due to smaller school narratives. David Johnson's one of them. Who, you know, obviously. What was he a third round pick for Arizona?

[Mike Wright]

He was. Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Out of Northern Iowa. That became an elite fantasy option. Aaron Jones was a smaller school guy.

[Mike Wright]

And Andy, to your point of like you, you like Hampton so much that it's possible that like, if Hampton has a better career than Genty, that that's not going to be surprising to me. I think that's what we're talking about. If Ashton Genty is incredible, but I don't see him. Generational talent and going back. I mean the, the generational running backs who became that weren't even necessarily the first ones drafted. Like Christian McCaffrey is a generational running back. He was drafted behind Leonard Fournette.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean that, that draft class. He was still top 10. That draft class.

[Mike Wright]

He was three guys that you were.

[Andy Holloway]

Wondering if they were.

[Mike Wright]

But they went Leonard four ahead of him. You know, this one's an interesting conversation. It was Ezekiel Elliott, a generational running back.

[Andy Holloway]

He was. Yes.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. Because he was.

[Andy Holloway]

When he was coming out as a prospect, he had zero possible flaws. He was.

[Jason Moore]

That's, that's, that's where you look at like the reason I'm not going to move Hampton above. Even though his outcome could be it could end up better team situation or something and he could be the more productive fantasy running back or the better player. Totally possible. Love him. I don't think it's possible for Jinty to fail with what the draft capital is going to be and his skill set. Yeah. Is he going to End up Barry Sanders. No, probably not. But I don't think it's possible for him to not be productive. I mean, even if he was Leonard Fournette, like, Fournette was still a productive fantasy running back. Thank you. Thank you.

[Mike Wright]

I brought up Zeke because Zeke was the fourth overall pick.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

By the Cowboys. And in that year, in the second round was Derek Henry.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Who?

[Mike Wright]

Derek Henry. That now, now that's generation careers.

[Jason Moore]

That's a. Yeah, that's a better career. That's for sure. All right. Wow. Instagram from Nick Welsh asks the question Breeze hall or the 101 rookie pick.

[Andy Holloway]

That's Genti.

[Jason Moore]

That's a pretty easy.

[Andy Holloway]

If I could. If I could trade Breeze hall right now for the 101 I have, Breece Hall. It's an open offer. Open offer. I believe the person with the one on one is listening on the zoom on the bathroom.

[Mike Wright]

No, no, Josh has it. Oh, Matt manages Josh.

[Jason Moore]

He said no. He's already said no.

[Andy Holloway]

All right.

[Jason Moore]

That's.

[Mike Wright]

No, you don't get to steal that bit. Jeremy, that is. Kyle manages your team.

[Andy Holloway]

He does. And Matt manages Josh's team.

[Jason Moore]

It's already been turned down. Amazing.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

But if you's a top five Dynasty running back, if you could get the.

[Andy Holloway]

One on one rookie pick for Breeze Hall, I would do it without hesitation.

[Mike Wright]

Would you do it for Bijon?

[Andy Holloway]

No, no, I would keep. That's a. That's a great one because I've got Bijan and Breeze.

[Jason Moore]

I don't think I'd trade the one on one.

[Andy Holloway]

I would not.

[Jason Moore]

Or trade Bijan for the one on one.

[Andy Holloway]

No.

[Jason Moore]

But I don't think it's that far away.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no, no. I mean, it could be the wrong decision. It's not such an obvious like, oh, you. I could. I could regret not giving up B. John for the one on one, but Bijan has proven on an NFL field, he's.

[Jason Moore]

Are you awesome? Are you mentally putting Genti in Las Vegas right now?

[Andy Holloway]

No. No, no. You're not. I'm not at all. I mean, with the way that running back goes, you know, I think there's four or five teams he could. He could go to.

[Jason Moore]

Righty. Let's go to andy rue156 on Instagram. Want to change from redraft to dynasty, but everybody loves draft day for redraft. Any thoughts? Yes, I have. I have some thoughts.

[Andy Holloway]

I wonder if we have the same thought.

[Jason Moore]

Do a keeper league.

[Andy Holloway]

That's the same thought.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Do it. Do a keeper league.

[Andy Holloway]

It is the Best of both worlds.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I get this. I love draft day. Draft day is the pinnacle, most favorite day of the year. And you do lose that with a move to dynasty. Because the rookie draft is not draft day.

[Andy Holloway]

No, the rookie draft usually is offline. You're not even getting it together and it's, you know, you know, it's just not as exciting. You spend the whole off season for fantasy football talking about the draft, talking about values, finding the guys you like, avoiding the landmines. It's part of the fun. It's why we're listening and talking on, on the show. And our main league of record, our primary league, is a keeper league with a keeper lottery to ensure the reason we have it that way, the reason we have this randomized lottery, like we basically pick in our league, we pick our best player and we get to keep him no matter what. And then we pick three other players from a different position and whichever ones are our best, whoever we want. But we're going to lose one randomly, like out of a hat. And so keep 2.

[Jason Moore]

Lose 3. Kind of like two truths and a lie and the.

[Mike Wright]

Lose one.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

What did I say?

[Mike Wright]

Lose three.

[Jason Moore]

That doesn't make sense.

[Andy Holloway]

And the entire reason we did it cut that. The entire reason we did that was because we still wanted the draft day to matter. We wanted Jamar Chase to fall back into drafts. We wanted that first round to still be exciting and powerful. And so it really is the best of both worlds. I, I mean, I know who you guys as teams are starting out with. You know, it feels kind of dynasty in that way back.

[Jason Moore]

And we let people trade just for the record, like we have a keeper deadline at the NFL draft, so you have the entire off season. If you want to execute, you know, dynasty style trades, you have from the time that keepers are declared and figured out through the keeper lottery all the way through kickoff to trade keepers and picks so you don't lose some of that flexibility. We open up pick trading right away.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it's so much fun year round and there are things like a dynasty league, which I will never forgive Mike for his death grip on Antonio Brown during the heyday. You had him for whatever that four, five, six year stretch was of dominance.

[Mike Wright]

Oh my gosh.

[Andy Holloway]

And no one could get him from it. It was just like I associate Antonio Brown with you.

[Mike Wright]

It was incredible.

[Andy Holloway]

And so that you get that. But the draft day is the best day of the year.

[Jason Moore]

Here's a good follow up question on Instagram from C. Gable. Can you explain how your fantasy league divisions are set up and how that works. In our league of record we have three divisions with four teams each and you play your division mates two times so we actually start this season. Your first three matchups are against your division mates and your last three matchups in the regular season are against division mates with the middle an assortment of one off matchups with everybody else. That's how we've done it since the beginning. It builds rivalries. It makes the end of the season a very just higher stakes division winner.

[Andy Holloway]

Automatically makes the playoff. Then it's best. Then it's the next best three wild card.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay Mike, maybe this is a good question for you as we come to the end of the show. Steve Sutton 40 if healthy come draft time, will CMC end up a top three pick?

[Mike Wright]

Top three pick? No, because that will be people won't be willing. It'll be Jamar Bijan Saquon.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, like that's Gibbs and Bijan will be dancing around.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I don't think people will steam top five Caffrey right at five. At five makes sense. It's going to be Christian McCaffrey is going to be one of the hardest draft picks and I totally understand it. But he's a guy that in the middle of the first that can literally win your league for you. So it will be very difficult.

[Jason Moore]

One final reminder, head over to get the lowest price possible on the Ultimate Draft Kit so that you can dominate on draft day. Get yourself prepped up and get access for the longest amount of time possible to the actual UDK. Release is June 1st. There's pre order pricing right now so you get a [e-mail] and if you get the UDK plus you'll get instant access to the completely available completely Ready to Rumble Dynasty Pass and you can check that out next Tuesday. We're going through the biggest free agency, winners and losers. We'll also catch up on any news that we missed by Pre recording a little bit. And next Thursday, regress or impress, we'll talk through some more names.

[Andy Holloway]

Before you hit that outro button, I was just wanting to look up the universal Best Ball ADP right now because I was curious about how high Christian McCaffrey would go. Christian McCaffrey, consensus across all Best Ball platforms is right now the 14th player. Holy second rounder.

[Jason Moore]

He would be a very top target for me in best ball in the.

[Mike Wright]

Second round for sure.

[Jason Moore]

Because what rep what he represents is a title.

[Mike Wright]

Yep.

[Jason Moore]

Or sadness.

[Mike Wright]

Goodbye.
