Introduction: Back in the Studio

After a period of remote recording due to quarantine, the Fantasy Footballers are thrilled to return to their studio setting. The hosts engage in light-hearted banter about Mike's persistent sweat issues, adding a humorous touch to their reunion.

• Jason Moore (00:41): "It's quite the picture... Mike's got the hat on. Well, I still haven't gotten a haircut."
• Mike Wright (02:12): "I've been dealing with unbelievable sweat problems in my office... Need to have it tested and over."

Buy/Sell Segment: Double-Digit Receiving Touchdowns

The trio dives into their Buy/Sell segment, where they discuss whether the number of players catching double-digit receiving touchdowns in the 2020 NFL season will be over or under five and a half.

• Jason Moore (05:25): "Last year we only had three players in the NFL with double-digit receiving touchdowns."
• Andy Holloway (07:08): "I have two players who are double-digit touchdowns according to my ranking, only two. But I have six players who are at nine."

Consensus and Predictions:

• Andy Holloway (07:15): "I will start your take under my two are Tyreek Hill and Devonte Adams."
• Mike Wright (08:06): "I have projected out five players who I believe will hit the double-digit targets."

Final Call:

• Jason Moore (08:00): "I'm calling for a repeat of the same three guys from last year."
• Andy Holloway (07:38): "I have two players at double digits and six at nine. So I'm very close but sticking with my rankings."

News and Notes: Seahawks' Running Back Situation

The hosts discuss recent developments in the Seattle Seahawks' running back roster, focusing on Chris Carson's role and potential acquisitions like Devonta Freeman.

• Jason Moore (09:10): "Chris Carson had a strong start last year but dealt with some fumbles."
• Andy Holloway (10:33): "This is why Chris Carson is so high in my rankings. The backfield is an injured Rashard Penny and a rookie."

Analysis:

• Mike Wright (10:47): "Seahawks are trying to find another backup, which solidifies Carson's importance."
• Jason Moore (11:08): "It would not affect me very much at all."

They further discuss the potential impact of Devonta Freeman's involvement on Carson's usage and the overall Seahawks' offensive depth.

   • Question: "In a one player keeper league, should I keep Chris Godwin or Josh Jacobs?"
   • Responses:
     • Andy Holloway (31:08): "Leaning towards Josh Jacobs."

     • Mike Wright (45:40): "Roll the dice on Philip Lindsay’s future."

[Andy Holloway]

It is a real treat to be here under the bright lights of the studio.

[Mike Wright]

This is a lot brighter than my room.

[Jason Moore]

You're both at a much higher resolution than I remember you.

[Mike Wright]

Also, far less sweaty. Over on my side of the desk. I've been dealing with unbelievable sweat problems in my office. I don't know what it is, but you're.

[Jason Moore]

I mean, it's been a couple of months. You really haven't been able to engineer yourself a right pit solution.

[Mike Wright]

I do.

[Jason Moore]

I have a fan. I Have a fan. You don't have enough.

[Andy Holloway]

Wait, you have a fan on your right side.

[Mike Wright]

And still there is a desktop fan that is pointed, precise, with precision right at the armpit.

[Jason Moore]

Are you gonna have to hold the right arm up during the whole show? That might be the solution. Mike, you might have to go hands up.

[Mike Wright]

All right, well, next show I'll just put a roller coaster on my green screen.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, no, I'm doing real well.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, let's do some buy, sell.

[Andy Holloway]

Buy or sell. Presented by Pristine Auction.

[Jason Moore]

We were going to do some buy, sell, but I'm going to detour real quick. Oh, just because it is wonderful to also see both of our producers here in studio. Al Borland, Judge Giamatti tucked away across the room. But thank you both for all of the legwork that you've done over the last two months as we've been, you know, juggling quarantine and at home and different Internets, router restarts and low resolution mic robot voices. And you have made it all spectacular. And I can tell you, speaking on behalf of the Foot Clan this time, that they are so thankful for that because as far as they know, the podcast listeners, I don't know that they can tell that there's been a difference. And that's all on you guys. So thank you very much.

[Andy Holloway]

It's amazing because I know some, you know, there are major, major companies that make podcasts in studio all around the world that because of this time you go and you listen to those and they sound like they're all at home. It doesn't sound the same because it's not the same. And you guys have made us sound great.

[Jason Moore]

No, I have an email in my inbox right now that's like, can you help me? Help, Help us. Help us get to the sound quality they're our producers. They're ours if you buy or sell. I'm buying both of them. That's all I'm saying.

[Mike Wright]

What could we fetch on the open market?

[Andy Holloway]

That's for one of them.

[Jason Moore]

You like sell one because we got two.

[Andy Holloway]

Go to eBay.com fantasy footballers.

[Jason Moore]

If you put them both up for bid and we just take whoever sells for most, that's kind of the better thing for our economy here.

[Mike Wright]

All right, my wheels are turning.

[Jason Moore]

This went from thank you to we're selling you on the open market really quickly. Well, I refuse to work for anyone else.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, a little Jordan situation.

[Jason Moore]

Dang.

[Mike Wright]

Lowering the salary.

[Andy Holloway]

Lowering the salary.

[Jason Moore]

All right, buy, sell. We're looking at, looks like Brooks said, an over under a five and a half. We're looking at number of players to catch double digit touchdowns in 2020 because last year we only had three players in the NFL with double digit receiving touchdowns. It was Mark Andrews, Cooper Cup, Kenny Golladay. But back in 2018 we had nine of them. Antonio Brown, Devonte Adams, Ebron Tyreek Hopkins, Kelsey Ridley, Lockett, Mike Williams. Oh, Mike Williams. Remember that?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I do.

[Jason Moore]

It's two years ago over under five and a half.

[Mike Wright]

You guys remember this thing Two years ago.

[Jason Moore]

I guess I'll just sell it. I think I'll take the under. I don't know if I even can apply like strong logic to my answer here. I feel like I'm just guessing but I would say about. I think five players will do it. So.

[Andy Holloway]

So here's what's interesting. Obviously we stat out everybody for the ultimate draft kit and when we're stating these out, we are.

[Jason Moore]

I guess I could look at that.

[Andy Holloway]

You could look at that.

[Jason Moore]

Let's see if I'm a buy or sell.

[Andy Holloway]

You know the reality is we start out things that are probable not, you know, predicting all the, all the outliers.

[Jason Moore]

That could happen are not in your ranking.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't have anybody out there with 15 receiving touchdowns because that, you know, that happens and that could very well happen this year. But that's not what I'm going to project.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, but just think of the glory if you made that call if you picked the guy with 15.

[Andy Holloway]

I have two players who are double digit touchdowns according to my ranking, only two. But I have six players who are at nine. So I am very, very close. But I'm going to stick with my rankings. I will, I will start your take under my two are Tyreek Hill and Devonte Adams.

[Jason Moore]

I have two as well to Mari Cooper and Tyree Kill. Oh but I have Adams cup, Golladay and Andrews all at nine and I've.

[Andy Holloway]

Got Michael Thomas cup Golladay, Marcus Brown, Jared Cook and Travis Kelsey at 9.

[Mike Wright]

All right, you and Hollywood this year.

[Jason Moore]

You may have to, you know, step up your game there. That's going to be my guy that.

[Mike Wright]

It'S going to get out of control. This over under it tried to catch me slipping. Tried.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

But I have five. I have projected out five players who I believe will hit the double digit targets and it's actually a. I'm calling for a repeat of the same three guys from last year. But I will add in Devonte Adams and Adam Thielen.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh wow.

[Mike Wright]

I got Adam thielen down for 10 touchdowns.

[Jason Moore]

There were.

[Mike Wright]

I'm selling because I had five if.

[Jason Moore]

You'Re curious in 2017 it was three. So back down to three. Five in 2016 but 13 players in 2015.

[Andy Holloway]

It was a good year.

[Jason Moore]

Ted Ginn was one of them.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Hey Jay, you remember that?

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, I do. It's a little further back but that.

[Jason Moore]

Was buy or sell brought to you By Pristine Auction pristineauction.com Use the code Ballers and get a $10 credit.

[Mike Wright]

Dollars.

[Andy Holloway]

Don't use Ballers and don't get a $10 credit.

[Jason Moore]

That's true. That is an option but it's a dumb one.

[Mike Wright]

I don't know why you dumb option.

[Jason Moore]

Stupid. Let's get into some news.

[Andy Holloway]

News and notes from around the league.

[Jason Moore]

All right. We've talked about the Seahawks backfield, talked about Chris Carson recently. A lot of risk it seems my guy last year, Chris Carson, really strong start, dealt with some fumbles, still helped a lot of people. I'm not as confident that he'll be the guy this year. There had been Marshawn lynch rumors and now the Seahawks have made an offer to Devonta Freeman. Now he turned it down but according to Adam Kaplan they extended the offer because they don't think Rashad Penny will be ready for week one. Freeman is 28 but I think we all agree has lost a step. At least it looks looked that way for the past year and a half.

[Andy Holloway]

So how does Freeman have the gall to turn down offers right now?

[Jason Moore]

Carlos Hyde did that. I mean Carlos Hyde, yeah, you know, you believe that you are what you are and you only got a small window and you're sometimes he.

[Mike Wright]

What he's betting on is the situation where someone gets hurt in training camp because it's honestly that's a good bet. It happens every single year. But will a Will a running back position of note open up that they're willing to pay him? That would surprise me if I were Freeman. I mean, I guess I have no idea what the contract is, so I won't even comment.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, this is. But this news coming out. Seattle trying to go get Devonta Freeman. That's. That's the important thing for fantasy. This is why right now Chris Carson is so high in my rankings. This is why I have him for 300 rushing attacks.

[Mike Wright]

Because they're trying to find another backup.

[Andy Holloway]

Because there aren't other people there.

[Jason Moore]

That's the question is if they sign Freeman, if Freeman relents in a month and goes, oh, wow, my market is what everybody's been telling me. Chris Carson, which is why that's called the Davian Clowney problem. But what happened? Does he hurt your view of Chris Carson very much? Because it's not a majorly.

[Andy Holloway]

Majorly.

[Jason Moore]

It would not affect me very much at all.

[Andy Holloway]

Here's why. It's a major change to me because the reason that I have Chris Carson with 300 carries is almost solely because the backfield is an injured Rashard Penny and a rookie, you know, later around D.J. carson, Dallas. Well, Chris Carson should be back in plenty of time before the first week. His timeline was fine.

[Mike Wright]

I bet I heard the word should.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, I mean, I don't know the future if he.

[Mike Wright]

But I mean, but the question is it's. It's a variable word. It's a. It's not a. Chris Carson is ready for week one. It's. He's supposed to be ready. It's like Seattle needs to get people in the.

[Jason Moore]

Seattle has said that he'll be back, and there's no signs that he won't be. But he had 278 carries last year. Penny had 65, Homer had 18. This was all Carson last year.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Jason Moore]

So I don't know what Freeman represents depth wise. I don't know if that is a bridge to Penny as the backup, if that impacts you very much. If Penny's supposed to play this very small role, then Freeman plays a small role for a few weeks and it shouldn't affect Carson.

[Mike Wright]

It's the. If they are actually trying to get Marshawn lynch back on the team, even though I think Freeman has lost a step at this point, Freeman would be better for the team than Marshawn would be okay.

[Jason Moore]

The 49ers, Raheem Mostert, a little bit of a hype train here. Quote, put on some more muscle in order to shoulder a 200 carry workload this season. I'm very, and have been very excited about Raheem Mostert's potential this upcoming season. They're such a good running team. I realized that we don't know how that carry breakdown. We don't know whether McKinnon will be for some role and we don't know whether it'll be a Coleman week or a Moser Tweek. But I'm trusting the film and the film tells me Rio Mostard is their best running back.

[Andy Holloway]

He was 5.6 yards per carry.

[Jason Moore]

That also tells me he was their best running back.

[Andy Holloway]

And that's surprising because every single time that I watched balls, you thought it'd.

[Jason Moore]

Be seven or eight.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it was like he just, he was, he was electric. But he only had 137 carries last year. So he's, you know, Matt Burrida's gone. Jerick McKinnon is back.

[Jason Moore]

In theory, Raheem Most are proved himself over the back half of the year to the point where, look, they made a Super bowl run and he was the backbone.

[Mike Wright]

Right.

[Jason Moore]

Of that team. Those are situations for fantasy, at least for me, that I'm looking to, to say, you know, there's the consensus and then there's outliers and players that have the chance to emerge. And if you Give Raheem Moser 200 carries in San Francisco, aren't you excited about that?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, this is one of those situations. It pops up every single year. Do you take the player with the cost or do you take the value? Do you take the second player who looks like he could be in an equal competition with Raheem Mostert? Talking about Tevin Coleman, who he was the featured guy for a while over the second half of the year. It really turned into the Reheem Mostert show. Except for the one playoff game. For me, this is a scenario where I'm taking, I'm taking the higher priced guy. I often you'll hear us on the show. Oh, just, just take the value. Well, I'm trying to tell you we don't just always take the value. Sometimes we'll, we'll pay up. I'll pay the premium and if I'm.

[Jason Moore]

Going Mostert's the premium and if I'm.

[Mike Wright]

Going in on San Francisco's running game, I will pay the premium. I'm going to take the shot for.

[Jason Moore]

Raheem Mostert, Mosert or Leonard Fournette. Right now.

[Andy Holloway]

Fournette.

[Mike Wright]

As of right now. Fournette. But that's a, that is, that's a house of cards that could come crumbling down any day, I have most in.

[Jason Moore]

That situation, but they're pretty closely ranked, so I seem like closer. They're closer to each other. Thank you, Mike. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Look, man, I've been out of the studio for a while. I gotta get some practice. Swings.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, it's good, man. It's good. All right. The Athletics. Jay Glazer believes Taysom Hill will be the guy for the Saints after Drew Brees retires.

[Andy Holloway]

Stop it.

[Jason Moore]

Really? That's your. That's your response?

[Andy Holloway]

Everyone says this. That's. No, he's not.

[Jason Moore]

Why?

[Andy Holloway]

Why? Because they had their quarterback go down to injury last year. You want to know who stepped in? Not Taysom Hill. And then after Teddy leaves, you want to know what they did? They went and signed Jameis Winston as. As a backup quarterback. Taysom. I mean, you don't need to carry three quarterbacks in the NFL if you've got your backup. I mean, Taysom Hill's not a quarterback.

[Jason Moore]

Well, they. You. I don't buy that logic entirely. I mean, they've. They've talked about why that is. I mean, Taysum Hill, they use him. They use them in special teams. They use them to block. They use him to catch the football. That he's part of a design for the team now without. With Drew Brees in the offense.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. And I just. I don't. And I believe that that is.

[Jason Moore]

You ever met Sean Payton? You ever listen to him talk? I think Sean Payton believes very, very firmly that he can make Taysom Hill a NFL starter. That is his pet project.

[Mike Wright]

I don't disagree with you. Where I side with Jason, is this organization, this professional NFL team heading into next year? If this is Drew Brees last year.

[Jason Moore]

Which, by the way, what are your odds on that? Because I got it about 80%.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

I would say much higher than not. But as of right now, Taysom Hill is going to be 30 years old in August, and he will have thrown the ball in the NFL 15 times. That. You're saying that's the future of my team? That's. Maybe. Maybe it could happen. It would be an absolutely wild story, but I tend to side more with.

[Andy Holloway]

Jason that it did also take two playoff. Two separate playoff games where he threw a pass to get up to 15.

[Mike Wright]

Yes. I had to go and I counted a minus 13 regular season passes. He's thrown it in the playoffs twice.

[Andy Holloway]

You're really.

[Mike Wright]

You're really going to turn your team over to that guy?

[Jason Moore]

I think it's a possibility. And so does Jay Glazer. Here.

[Mike Wright]

Jay Glazer has been in on it from the beginning.

[Jason Moore]

Most.

[Mike Wright]

Jay Glazer has stock in Taysom Hill.

[Jason Moore]

Most quarterbacks have not thrown the ball at all until they become quarterbacks and throw the ball. I mean, they're.

[Mike Wright]

But they're not. But they're not turning.

[Andy Holloway]

They're fifth graders at that point.

[Mike Wright]

No, they're not turning 31 before they get their first start in the NFL.

[Jason Moore]

That is correct, and that's a fair point. Jamie Swinson's 26. He won't be under contract next year, but he will have experience in the system. And the team, you know, they're not stupid. They're going to give both. I mean, both guys could have an opportunity.

[Andy Holloway]

Let me ask you this. Drew Brees gets injured week five. Who's the quarterback?

[Jason Moore]

It's probably Jameis Winston.

[Andy Holloway]

So I don't see why Taysom Hill would be their quarterback of the future. That's just what I'm saying.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I understand. I understand. But that same thing happened last year, too, and they made Bridgewater, so.

[Mike Wright]

And then they gave Taysom Hill a bunch of money.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, they did.

[Andy Holloway]

And then signed Winston because you need more quarterbacks. You don't need three quarterbacks.

[Jason Moore]

You do. When you play one quarterback all the time on your regular offense. If Taysom Hill gets hurt, you. You have to have. I mean, you got a different situation there. But, hey, we'll find out. We will.

[Andy Holloway]

That's the glorious thing about all these predictions.

[Jason Moore]

All right, let's go ahead and. Oh, well, Mike, you.

[Mike Wright]

You have a lot of pressure.

[Jason Moore]

Guys, I hit the mailbag drop. I'll repeat what I said earlier. 11 days left. The ultimate draft kit@ultimate draft kit.com. make sure you check it out. It's gonna be beautiful. It's gonna be spectacular.

[Andy Holloway]

The app is upgraded. The charts are upgraded. There's new additions. It's. It's fantastic.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. And we're gonna have a football season, and it's gonna be the greatest one ever. Mike, I can't wait any longer. I hope you're ready.

[Mike Wright]

I'm ready.

[Andy Holloway]

Mailbag. Mailbag.

[Jason Moore]

I loved it. I loved it. I loved it so much more. Because when we're on Zoom, honestly, it doesn't line up.

[Mike Wright]

No, it doesn't. It lines up for me perfectly every time.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, and it lines up every time for the end user, but just so you know.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, I'm well aware.

[Jason Moore]

We hear Mike on super delay, and he just sounds stupid.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Andy Holloway]

Never coming.

[Mike Wright]

It's a really stupid bit to start.

[Jason Moore]

I disagree it's spectacular. All right, if you have a question for the show, head to the website, the fantasy footballers.com. click the submit a question button. You can also dial the voicemail hotline. 302464, TFFB. We do have a voicemail question we'll start with. And it's a young fantasy fan that has a question for us.

[Mike Wright]

Excellent.

[Jason Moore]

All right. Hi, my question is, in a standard scoring non PPR league, who would you choose as the second overall pick in the first round? Thank you.

[Mike Wright]

Bye.

[Jason Moore]

Second overall, Christian McCaffrey. I'd like him to drop it. I will take Christian McCaffrey, but non PPR that being thrown out there. I know. Saquon, Zeke, those are both players in that category. Does it go away from Saquon if it's fully non ppr? Are you looking at Zeke in that situation or is it Saquon for you?

[Mike Wright]

Jay, who do you got? You got Saquon or Zeke as your number two guy?

[Andy Holloway]

I have Zeke, so I have Zeke as well. I mean, Saquon is such a PPR machine. He's always bumped up there. And if you look at, okay, touchdowns are really valuable in standard scoring leagues. Who's got the better offense? Who's going to have the more opportunities? Now, Saquon could end up with more touchdowns than Zeke. It's happened before, but I would put the betting odds on Zeke to have more chances near the goal line.

[Mike Wright]

I'm trying to find out my point total. So I got, I got. I have Barkley by about 15 points.

[Jason Moore]

In a non PPR, nine PPR.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

All right. Thanks for the question. Here's a question from Ian in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Sheboygan, O.J. that's not a bonjour.

[Mike Wright]

Sheboygan.

[Andy Holloway]

I was really itching for a girl.

[Mike Wright]

You love to get Sheboygan. Yeah. Yes. Jason, high five. That was a deep cut, man. I wasn't sure if anyone would get it.

[Jason Moore]

I mean, what else was there to say there? I was hoping we also.

[Mike Wright]

I need to go wash my hands after. Yeah, I was gonna say this is a problem.

[Jason Moore]

Did you just high five?

[Mike Wright]

Oh, we did. Okay, sanitation, clean up.

[Jason Moore]

I'll just leave this sanitizer over here.

[Mike Wright]

Leave this here.

[Jason Moore]

This is why we've stayed. We're on like 60 day quarantines each, though. I think you guys are okay.

[Mike Wright]

I don't know. I don't trust this.

[Andy Holloway]

Here's the thing, Mike. If you don't have it, you can't give it to me. And if I can't If I don't have it, I can't give it to you. But I am positive we just created it right there.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, with the high five?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, the high five creates it.

[Mike Wright]

Don't worry, we're sanitizing.

[Jason Moore]

My goodness.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm staying over here.

[Mike Wright]

Look, man, this is a new world. This is a new wild west.

[Jason Moore]

Isn't it weird, though? I mean, just. Isn't it funny how science can get thrown out the window there and it's just like, yes, feels completely weak. I watch. I can't watch TV shows anymore. If I watch something that was filmed and there are now groups of people super close together.

[Mike Wright]

What are you doing?

[Jason Moore]

I'm like, oh, come on. That's very scary.

[Andy Holloway]

You wouldn't do that. This is totally unreal.

[Jason Moore]

I saw a picture of our live tour from last summer. I'm like, get away from each other.

[Andy Holloway]

Move. I can't wait for the world to come back.

[Jason Moore]

That wouldn't be so bad. Yeah. All right, Ian and Sheboygan, Wisconsin, what are your thoughts on eliminating the tight end position completely and going with two flex spots instead? Do you feel the position is weak enough to consider a change like that?

[Andy Holloway]

I am completely fine with it. I wouldn't say that I would fight for it because you would still have tight ends in that situation. You would cycle the tight ends into the flex or into, you know, you can even put them in, you know, just a wide receiver, tight end flex, something like that. Pass catchers. So, yeah, you'd have your Mark Andrews and Kelsey's and Kittles and, you know, a handful of people that are involved. And what that does is it makes it a little bit more of a fair playing field. And fair. There is an air quotes because you have the choice to draft Kelsey or Kittle or Andrews early and sacrifice elsewhere. I like the strategy. I don't have any reason to change it, but I actually do think it's. That it's a fine change if people have a problem with the tight ends.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I wouldn't be pulling the tight end out. I think it's a great draft dynamic. I think it's a fun thing to try to identify the Jonu Smiths or the Mike Gasickis of the world and. Or the Kittles of years past. Mark Andrews last year. That's just a strategic element that I don't see the need to remove because the same kind of logic would apply. Just, you know, seven flex spots. I mean, just start whatever position you want.

[Mike Wright]

It's like adding a super flex. It's Adding another quarterback where you're trying to make this position inside the overall team at like create more of a value or make it more part of everything. So I'm not removing tight end. I like the idea of deciding how I'm going to construct my team. Am I going to just punch that position and try and overpower with my running backs or my wide receivers or do I stabilize that and, and take the hit somewhere else? It's, it's all part of the game of balancing how the points are coming in.

[Jason Moore]

All right, this next question is a keeper question from Ryan in New Jersey. Should I keep Dalvin Cook in the late second round or Lamar Jackson in the 16th round?

[Mike Wright]

My goodness.

[Jason Moore]

Thanks, guys. Big fan of the show now. Appreciate the question, although it is excruciating because Dalvin Cook in the second, obviously that's a value. It's a value. It's not the value that Lamar Jackson for free is.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, this isn't, this isn't a hard one for me.

[Jason Moore]

I'll be taking Lamar.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm taking Lamar Jackson. If I can get Lamar Jackson in the 16th round, I'll draft someone good in the second. And here's the deal. They won't be as good as Dalvin Cook, but the gap between who I'm getting in the second round to Dalvin Cook versus who I'm getting in the 16th round or, you know, I would draft quarterback in the ted to Lamar Jackson. Yeah, I'll sign me up for. And how fun is it to have Lamar Jackson? Like I don't get Lamar Jackson. A lot of our listeners don't get the opportunity because they're not going to draft an early quarterback. You're not. And you get them. So that's.

[Jason Moore]

I actually, I love being put in the position where I can pick him in a question because we don't like what you're saying. Like we just don't get to do it. And it almost comes across as though because we're late round quarterback advocates, it's like we don't want a great quarterback or we don't want the best quarterbacks. I mean, I would like Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes to be my quarterback.

[Mike Wright]

I will take Lamar Jackson.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Harris in Moses Lake, Washington says with Robbie Anderson gone and a wasteland at tight end in New York. Hold your horses there. Hold your horses. Shouldn't this make Jameson Crowder a huge value? What is his ceiling in Florida with no real veteran competition? Well, I agree. Crowder could be a value.

[Mike Wright]

Yes, I do agree with that.

[Jason Moore]

But I disagree with the contention that it is a wasteland at tight end in New York. In fact, I think Chris Herndon has.

[Mike Wright]

A guest started up again. Huge opportunity you got us that that thing's going to take. It's a post a huge amount of gas to see.

[Andy Holloway]

Last year Chris Herndon was someone that people were all about. They were really excited. I would we.

[Jason Moore]

He was in the udk.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Andy and I were about the Herndon life.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I mean and then he was not about it. He only played in one game. But he's coming back. And reports out of the jets area are that they expect big things for Herndon this year. But to the question of Jameson Crowder, I think he will get a ton of targets like he usually does.

[Jason Moore]

As I said, he's not a player that's going to take a step forward. He will be what he is.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

But especially in the ppr. Yeah. There should be extreme value for Jameson Crowder.

[Andy Holloway]

I've got him with 125 targets and not getting to 900 yards.

[Jason Moore]

Now if I recall, Herndon was suspended, then on his return from suspension got hurt.

[Mike Wright]

That is correct.

[Jason Moore]

Well done.

[Andy Holloway]

But now. But now no longer suspended.

[Mike Wright]

That's true.

[Jason Moore]

Or hurt.

[Andy Holloway]

We hope.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, well that's good. Chris in Liverpool.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, bonjour.

[Jason Moore]

There you go. In a super flex league draft, when do you suggest taking quarterbacks in mocks? They fly off the board early. Mahomes and Jackson are always off the board before the middle of the second round. Ppr, super flex. Where do you suggest taking quarterbacks?

[Andy Holloway]

You know we've always advocated the tier based drafting, the ultimate draft kit. We do all of the positions in tiers and so it doesn't really change going to a super flex saying, you know, you're drafting quarterbacks not based on I don't draft until the 10th round. You're drafting quarterbacks based on I need someone from this tier. That's where I feel comfortable. That's where I think the value is. And then if in your specific league, in a one quarterback league, that tier of quarterback ends up being the seventh round because everyone's drafted them or the 10th, then whatever. So when you apply that to a super flex league, I think you take a look at the tiers and say I want a quarter. I want, you know, three quarterbacks total. And so I'm going to take two of these late guys that I like and maybe one of those medium type players. And from league to league it's different. If you want Pat Mahomes or Lamar Jackson, that's. That could be the second and third pick gone in the first round. I wouldn't take that approach. So I'm probably starting my quarterbacks somewhere around round four. But that's totally different for every league.

[Jason Moore]

Mike, do you have anything to add?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, it's just, it's looking at the point differential inside the position. Like the running backs, wide receivers are getting in the first round. Compare them to, let's say you have the 101, like now you're at the back of the, or at the back of the second, beginning of the third. What's the difference between those? Just those running backs there. And if you had taken a quarterback compared comparatively to a quarterback you can get in the fourth or the fifth round, they're just. Quarterbacks are much closer and more, more.

[Jason Moore]

Repeatability generally happens at the wide receiver position than the quarterback position from year to year fluctuation.

[Andy Holloway]

Right.

[Mike Wright]

And it's so like to finalize, what I'm saying is like, yeah, you'll have, you'll have. Every year we'll have a Lamar Jackson, a Patrick Mahomes, one outlier quarterback. But the rest of those guys, they're not that far apart.

[Andy Holloway]

And let's say you wait, right? Let's say you wait in this two quarterback league and you end up with your first two quarterbacks being laid around guys Ben Roethlisberger and Matthew Stafford. That's right. That's great.

[Jason Moore]

Those two specifically, if you could position yourself to grab those two guys and.

[Andy Holloway]

Then you grab a third late guy like a Derek Carr or you know, even like a Drew Lock, that's a hopeful, I would be 100% fine with that. And the rest of my roster is loaded.

[Mike Wright]

Right.

[Jason Moore]

All right, let's go to Tom in Ohio. One player keeper league. Godwin or Jacobs?

[Andy Holloway]

That's a great question. I see those guys so similar respectively. Godwin is to the wide receiver what Jacobs is to the running back.

[Mike Wright]

Really?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

In my ranking, probably fair. My first impression is it's like, oh, Jacobs is riskier. But Godwin's fairly risky in the new situation too and done it for a year and Jacobs was dominant on the ground. I see it as Jason does. The one thing I'll throw out there before you answer is just that if you're in a one player, two player, three player keeper league, please don't over emphasize the idea of long term commitments to players.

[Andy Holloway]

Right?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, it's not a, it's not a dynasty league. If you're in a 1, 2, 3 player keeper league, it's okay to have turnover at that keeper position. Don't spend all of your time thinking because you might think, oh, wide receiver. I'm just going to go the wide receiver for long term value here. That's not. I would actually probably lean the Jacob side.

[Andy Holloway]

Those type of leagues, one or two keepers where people aren't wanting to say, keep Julio Jones because like, well, he's 31. What? You keep it. You know, it's fantastic.

[Jason Moore]

All you care about 1400 yards counts just as much at 31.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. So here I lean the Josh Jacobs side.

[Mike Wright]

But where do you currently have Josh Jacobs in your running backs? Do you have that number in front of you?

[Andy Holloway]

I can grab it. I've got Josh Jacobs as my running back, 10, Chris Godwin as my wide receiver, seven. Okay, so they're, they're.

[Mike Wright]

If I had those rankings, yeah, I would go with Josh Jacobs. I have Jacobs at 6 and that's perfectly fine.

[Jason Moore]

But I say it like that every time.

[Mike Wright]

It's always, it's always a whisper.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, because you're Ms. What the Whisper is saying. Your subtext is please get the passing work. You're saying, I've got him at. Please get the passing work.

[Jason Moore]

That's how I told John Groot as well. I said I got him at six, six targets a game. Come on.

[Mike Wright]

Right now I have Godwin at 3 and Jacobs at 11 in their respective positions. So if I'm in the draft, I would probably take Godwin first, and that's how I would approach this.

[Jason Moore]

All right. Andres in Albuquerque says if I purchase the 2020 Ultimate Draft Kit and the NFL is canceled due to COVID 19, do we get a refund or subscription for the following year? Well, this is something we've thought about.

[Andy Holloway]

Great. That's a great question. We. Look, Foot Clan has always been great to us. We want to be great to the Foot Clan. If you get the draft kit and there isn't, even though we're making the whole draft kit and it's going to Release here in 11 days and we did all the work and you got to read it. If there's no football this year, that's no good to you. So you get the ultimate draft kit the next year. I mean, that's just boom, bam. You're not wasting any money here.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Yeah, that's. That's how we're going to do it. So hopefully we have football also.

[Mike Wright]

Yes, please have football also.

[Andy Holloway]

We're. We're going to have football every.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, that's like.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean. Yeah, everything.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

The latest things coming out are like.

[Jason Moore]

We already know we're going to have players without fans. They're letting it happen.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, we know we're going to have players test positive. Like, we're. We're figuring out what we're going to do in those situations. It's happening.

[Jason Moore]

I just want to see the face masks that have a bunch of technology built into them now.

[Mike Wright]

See the face masks, That's. Do you guys remember when players would have these super shredder masks in? You're talking about in training camp, like Darnell Dockett or Jason.

[Jason Moore]

Was it Jason? Pierre Paul.

[Mike Wright]

Pierre Paul have one, too.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, you look like Shredder.

[Mike Wright]

And they look awesome. They look like superheroes. Let's just do that, man. Jam it all up. Put some kind of filter in there and we're good to go.

[Andy Holloway]

Watch them pass out.

[Jason Moore]

Then I feel like, zoom back from the stadium and it's just the whole. What's the movie that you love that we hate?

[Mike Wright]

Blade Runner.

[Jason Moore]

Blade Runner. It's just dust. There's this rolling hill. It's just dystopian football. I will take this as long as it's football. I agree. I agree. No, I mean, look, we have the potential to create some cool technology and, like, a lot of the stuff that's happening innovation wise.

[Mike Wright]

Right.

[Jason Moore]

Will pay dividends in other areas for longer periods of time.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, remember, do you guys remember last season the Patriots were so sick with the flu, like, not.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Andy Holloway]

Covid didn't exist yet on planet Earth that they had to take two planes. I think it was. They were going to. I want to say Tampa Bay. They were flying down in two planes. A sick plane and a healthy plane. I mean, the regular flu is going to be far less prevalent this year among the players.

[Jason Moore]

People joke about us getting sick. We got the three kids and they're each. And they're in school. And we've had these months where Jason's hacking.

[Mike Wright]

We just take turns.

[Jason Moore]

I'm hacking. Or Mike's hacking. Look, the amount of things we've installed around the studio, I'm not going to say I'm. You know, we may grow an extra arm or something like that from the level of UV light that will be around the studio. But we ain't getting sick anymore.

[Andy Holloway]

No, never again.

[Mike Wright]

Never Famous.

[Andy Holloway]

You heard it here.

[Jason Moore]

Maybe sometimes.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, we're definitely going to get sick.

[Jason Moore]

All right, Tony in Atlanta, as an analyst, when you stat out a player, each player, are those totals always assuming a full season of games played?

[Andy Holloway]

Yes and no. 90.

[Jason Moore]

Well, always by definition, you can just say no, then.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, but it is almost always.

[Mike Wright]

Yes. Except when it's not.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, okay, almost always.

[Jason Moore]

No, it's not always. There are players that have a long enough track record of injury that I do consider that in my season long, I presume 12 games or 13 games most of the time I project an exact 16 game schedule. There are players I account for injury.

[Andy Holloway]

I can only think of one player, and I'm sure there were. But the only players coming to mind that I know I nerfed the stats a little bit of because I expect a couple missed games, was James Conner. I. That was the only one that I kind of actively said. I didn't stat him specifically for 14 games, but I nerfed the stats a little bit, assuming that there will be some missed time.

[Jason Moore]

That's almost always. Mike, what do you do you account for that?

[Mike Wright]

I project 16. I will bake in some injury risk where like games are lower, but I'm still projecting for 16 though. The only guys where I actually lop off games are quarterback positions like. Like Chicago, where I have Foals projected as the main starter. But I think Trubisky plays some games. Same thing for the Chargers. For the Chargers with Taylor. And then in the rook, did you.

[Jason Moore]

Go 16 for Fitzpatrick in Miami or did you split those?

[Mike Wright]

No, I split those as well.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. So there you go. It is important. You mentioned one word there, Mike, that is relevant to the way we project in stat players, which is risk.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes.

[Jason Moore]

We build a risk rating into each player. So even if we project someone for 16 games, which is the majority of the time, like you said, if they have a high risk rating, you need to take that into account when you're making that value proposition in your draft.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. If you're looking at two players back to back, they're projected about the same, same position. Everything's good. And one's got a risk rating of 8 and the other's got a risk rating of 2. That's an easy choice.

[Jason Moore]

Was it Justin Tuck that had the mask and not Jason Pierre Paul? That might have been right. Yeah, I think it was Justin Tuck. Thank you, Al. Let's go here. Dynasty trade, first round question. Sam and Hoboken. Oh, we got Sheboygan and Hoboken getting out of town. No high fives. Get your hands off of each other. Would you trade Leonard Fernet and the 105 rookie pick. Okay. For Cortland Sutton and Marlon Mack.

[Mike Wright]

Wow.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay, I'm going to need to hear that again. I was Looking at Justin Tuck's face mask.

[Jason Moore]

It's awesome. Yeah, it was. You could wear that in here.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I would be safe. Everywhere I go. The grocery store. I'm just wearing Justin Tuck's helmet.

[Jason Moore]

Nothing can get through the mesh.

[Andy Holloway]

No.

[Jason Moore]

All right. Would you trade Leonard Fournette and the 105 rookie.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

For Cortland Sutton and Marlon Mack? And what I love about this question is I look at like Fournette and Mac maybe in the exact same possibly like longevity quotient. Like those two players, they might be expiring like and the one check the.

[Mike Wright]

Date and the 105 could be Cortland Sutton's teammate, Jerry Judy. Oh, this question is ridiculous. Next question.

[Andy Holloway]

Let's assume it's Jerry Judy there.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

And you might not be able to get. But would you trade Leonard Fournette and Jerry Judy for Cortland Sutton and Marlon Mack? I would not. I would rather have the season of Leonard Fornet trades.

[Jason Moore]

Incredible. Fournette and Mac are both playing on different teams next year.

[Mike Wright]

Agreed.

[Andy Holloway]

Hopefully, like they hope they're playing on.

[Jason Moore]

I will take the Sutton and Mac.

[Mike Wright]

As in like they hope they have a job.

[Andy Holloway]

Exactly.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. I'll take the Sutton and Max side.

[Mike Wright]

That's how I lean.

[Jason Moore]

Or just, you know and known that.

[Mike Wright]

Cortland Sutton is a great wide receiver. We hope Jerry Judy is a great wide receiver.

[Jason Moore]

Correct. Correct. Anthony in Norco, California, how are you drafting tight ends in a tight end premium dynasty startup, tight ends get 1.5 points per reception. It's an interesting question too because some of the tight ends that are kind of that have been in the conversation, the upper echelon, Ertz, Kelsey in particular are older. They are getting up there.

[Mike Wright]

Correct.

[Jason Moore]

So tight end premium in a dynasty startup.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm not going to do much.

[Jason Moore]

I mean as in you're not going to overcompensate.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I'm not going to change too much. I feel like, you know, it's, it's. Every tight end will get that same bump. It's kind of like when people ask the question, well, what about six point for passing touchdown Quarterback leagues, you know, quarterbacks are a premium. Do I bump them up? What happens for all of them? I mean, it'll rearrange some of them. Obviously the guys who are.

[Mike Wright]

Well, what it does not necessarily the rearranging is it takes Travis Kelsey from being the number one tight end to possibly the number one scoring quarterback. Because Travis Kelsey frequently we do the experiment. He would have been the wide receiver seven. You give him one and a half per reception and he easily jumps to being the number one wide receiver. It's ironic at a position where you.

[Andy Holloway]

Just play one player though and there's so few. So this is very specific information. Right. You're basically to me in a dynasty startup. I would be interested in Mark Andrews. I would be interested in George Kittle to pay the premium.

[Mike Wright]

You would pay George Kittle?

[Jason Moore]

Kittle's the best option.

[Mike Wright]

Kittle in this format is probably a back of the first. If not.

[Jason Moore]

Yes.

[Mike Wright]

He's at least a second round pick.

[Jason Moore]

He's the best tight end in this format.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. If you wanted.

[Mike Wright]

Might be the best player.

[Andy Holloway]

If you wanted one of those two guys and you want to pay up, fine, go do it. Outside of.

[Jason Moore]

Andrews is not in that category for me.

[Andy Holloway]

He is for me.

[Jason Moore]

But because he's a. He's more touchdown dependent, he's very low PPR compared to.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I think he'll just continue to get more and more involved. Hayden Hurst gone. That's projecting forward. But I'm just saying they're young and involved, you know, Whereas Travis Kelsey is like, okay, he's probably the one at a tight end this year, but how many years left does Travis Kelsey really have? And if there's a dynasty startup.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. And you're not betting. I mean, look, betting on tight ends that haven't done it, that's not a fun bet. I mean there some hit, some don't. You're going to, you're going to pay a premium for Noah Fant. You're going to pay a premium for Mike Gasicki.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm not, I'm not going to pay a premium for those.

[Jason Moore]

What about cu?

[Mike Wright]

He's old.

[Jason Moore]

I know, I know. I just wanted to say.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, no, I'll. Here's what I'll do. I'll sign a relatively under the radar Jonah Smith, have him explode and then I'll be happy.

[Mike Wright]

It's fair.

[Jason Moore]

Not physically explode.

[Andy Holloway]

I hope not. I would be very unhappy.

[Jason Moore]

Okay. All right.

[Andy Holloway]

My, my tight end just exploded.

[Jason Moore]

That'd be bad. You love Jonah this year though.

[Andy Holloway]

I like him. I mean, I guess he's going to end up being attached to me because he's my number seven tight end.

[Jason Moore]

I like him too. I mean, that's love for Jonah.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Number seven. I think he could be good. But you love him.

[Mike Wright]

I love him.

[Jason Moore]

You want him to score your touchdowns? All right, Danny, in Massachusetts, are there any players you treat differently in leagues that give bonus points for 100 yards, long touchdowns, etc. Sure, sure. I mean Julio, I mean Julio is a player that is a premium in bonus points per 100 yard games. You might even look at players like Ty Hilton or other ones that we play.

[Andy Holloway]

Our league of record actually does give a two point bonus for 40 yard touchdowns. So guys like Tyreek or Desean Jackson. Hollywood, Hollywood, they can put up monstrous plays. I have never once. And maybe you guys do. This is great insider information against my league mates. I have never once ever thought about that scoring aspect aspect when making a draft pick. Ever. A single time in the whatever 15 years I've been in that league.

[Jason Moore]

The hundred yards makes a much bigger difference to me.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it's more predictable.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. And it's, you know, there are wide receivers that are touchdown dependent and there are ones that are heavy yardage guys. Julio is quite simply annoying in predicting touchdowns. But if you get a bonus for 100 yard games that he makes, he's probably my number one.

[Andy Holloway]

There you go.

[Jason Moore]

All right. Paul in deary Ireland.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, Paul.

[Jason Moore]

Now if I. Let me just say this before I ask the question. The way you just reacted to Ireland compared to the way you reacted to the United Kingdom earlier.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, Ireland is in the United Kingdom.

[Mike Wright]

That's true.

[Jason Moore]

That's a strong point.

[Andy Holloway]

There you go.

[Jason Moore]

But why so particular about Ireland?

[Andy Holloway]

Why Just love specifics. When you say the uk, I'm just like, that could be Canada.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, this?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, it's better.

[Jason Moore]

Mental picture.

[Andy Holloway]

Exactly.

[Jason Moore]

All right. In my dynasty startup draft, I ended up drafting both Melvin Gordon and Philip Lindsay.

[Mike Wright]

Gross.

[Jason Moore]

Would you keep both or try to trade one away? I would try to trade the one named Philip away. That's what I would be trying to do.

[Andy Holloway]

Who's buying Philip Lindsay right now?

[Jason Moore]

This man bought him, bought him in a dynasty.

[Andy Holloway]

But there's a difference. You end up drafting in a dynasty startup. Everybody is drafted at some point. Maybe he drafted ever a time to.

[Jason Moore]

Sell him in a dynasty. It's now because you don't have any of the bad. I mean just point to something in the past. It's going to be better than something in the future.

[Andy Holloway]

I would hold on to both these guys and have the handcuff.

[Mike Wright]

I would hold them. I don't like.

[Jason Moore]

Because of what you would get for Philip.

[Mike Wright]

Exactly. And you're playing dynasty. I'm rolling the dice that Philip Lindsay ends up on a different.

[Jason Moore]

I guess if you can get nothing, you might as well have to handcuff your guy.

[Mike Wright]

I really think you'll get nothing.

[Jason Moore]

That's a strong point. Mike in Hopkins, Michigan. Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

That's not a bonjour.

[Mike Wright]

It's not, but it is in Hopkins.

[Andy Holloway]

DeAndre Michigan.

[Jason Moore]

With Jason Whitten gone and. Oh, is this a set? Is this from you, Brooks? No, sir. With Jason Whitten gone and a premier quarterback under center for Dallas, why is Blake Jarwin so low in the rankings?

[Mike Wright]

It's a great question I ask myself all the time. Because he's lower for me.

[Jason Moore]

Of course he's lower because can I remind people Jason Whitten's already missed an entire season. Just for those that aren't aware that are waiting for the Blake Jarwin explosion, like I know it takes a while for tight ends and he was much younger at the time.

[Mike Wright]

I think he was a rookie.

[Jason Moore]

He was second year. I believe he might have been a rookie.

[Mike Wright]

He was a rookie. You're talking about 2017.

[Jason Moore]

I'm just saying there's a year where he was entirely where Whitten was already going.

[Andy Holloway]

2018 was when Whitten was was gone.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. It was Blake Darwin's second year. So we've been here before now. Jarwin was better last year, but it is a far cry to jump from 35, 40 receptions to the, you know, 6, 700 yards Jason Whitten level of involvement in the office.

[Andy Holloway]

I have.

[Jason Moore]

That's why he is lower. That's all I'm saying.

[Andy Holloway]

Blake Jarwin ahead of Austin Hooper and Hayden Hurst.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I love it. I don't, but I love it. Yes.

[Jason Moore]

No, man, my the best about Blake Jaron right now because it's always like, yeah, let's go. I know I obviously have much lower than you, but let's go.

[Mike Wright]

I am trying to be measured, but hear me now.

[Jason Moore]

It's hard to contain it.

[Mike Wright]

Hear me now. Jarwin will be on a lot of my teams. I have been holding Blake Jarwin in an on our dynasty.

[Jason Moore]

He'll be on a lot of years.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, he's going to be to start.

[Jason Moore]

The year is all I'm saying.

[Mike Wright]

Jarwin has a chance.

[Andy Holloway]

Is it your strategy right now if Jarwin's going to be on a lot of your teams you 100% of the leagues that you're in, 100% of them. You can get him with your last pick. Is that your strategy this year, Mike?

[Mike Wright]

Why I have him ranked so long?

[Andy Holloway]

No, no.

[Mike Wright]

I'm manipulating the market.

[Andy Holloway]

No, I'm just saying regard you could put him as your number one tight end and in 100% of the leagues he will be available for your last pick.

[Jason Moore]

Cooper, Gallup, Lamb, Elliott will all have More receptions than Blake Jarwin.

[Mike Wright]

I.

[Jason Moore]

So the fifth option of an offense. I'm going to take my shot at a gasicky. Who could be the number two option in the offense.

[Mike Wright]

It certainly feels like that, but I think Jarwin will have more receptions than CD Lamb.

[Andy Holloway]

I think that's. That's fair. It could be close.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, good. Still put him at four in the offense.

[Mike Wright]

You could.

[Jason Moore]

I got you. All right, last question here. I don't know who it's from.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, bonjour.

[Jason Moore]

Zeke or Kenyon Drake? D.J. chark, J.K. dobbins. Is that the question?

[Mike Wright]

This is a dynasty.

[Jason Moore]

I'm not sure I understand. All three of those. Yep.

[Mike Wright]

So dynasty.

[Jason Moore]

Give me all three of them.

[Mike Wright]

Dynasty. Trade Zeke or Kenyon Drake? D.J. chark, J.K. dobbins.

[Jason Moore]

That one.

[Mike Wright]

Give me the package. This is where I'm willing to trade Zeke.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. This is what you need in a haul for Zeke. You need to be able to trade Zeke for. I mean, that's.

[Mike Wright]

This is unbelievable. Like, Kenyan Drake for this year is going to be awesome. I think long term, he'll probably be signed to the Cars, but maybe he's not. And then the following year, you just get to turn to J.K. dobbins, who's going to be a beast when he's the starter for Baltimore and you get DJ Chart.

[Andy Holloway]

It certainly seems DJ Chark's the best player in this side.

[Mike Wright]

You got to make. You got to take it.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. All right. What are the bids on ebay up to their judge?

[Andy Holloway]

$12.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man. Come on.

[Andy Holloway]

No. 12,000.

[Jason Moore]

5.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, there it is.

[Jason Moore]

Are you. How you feeling back in the captain's chair there, judge? Love it back here. Yeah. Great. You glad to be out of the house? Yes. I think we figured out before, like, at lunch that you were probably the person that has been outside of your home the least. Yeah, that sounds.

[Andy Holloway]

This is the first time that he studied. His mailbox is overflowing.

[Jason Moore]

This wasn't the first time, was it? Not the first. Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

Second, I'm sad to learn that. I'm sad to learn that this is not the captain's chair that I sit in. No.

[Mike Wright]

I feel like you're just learning that.

[Andy Holloway]

Now, but I'm at the center of the table.

[Mike Wright]

I like how you're opening your arms.

[Jason Moore]

Truman show complex again.

[Mike Wright]

He's opening his arms wide. Like we all don't have the exact same. Same chair.

[Andy Holloway]

Mine's in the middle.

[Mike Wright]

Thank you for tuning in. We'll see you next week. Goodbye.
