Hello and welcome
0:02
to episode 706
0:05
of the
0:07
official establishtherun.com
0:10
podcast. My
0:22
name is Adam Levitan. I am one
0:24
of the co-founders here at ETR as always joined
0:27
by fellow co-founder Evan Silva. And
0:29
the best players left in free agency are
0:32
now Dustball as we're talking about Ryan
0:34
Tannehill, Tyler Boyd, Clyde Edwards-A'Lare, Logan Thomas.
0:36
So I think it's finally Evan. I
0:38
think it's finally safe to say that
0:40
we can wrap up free agency, put a bow on
0:42
it once and for all. How's it
0:44
going today? It's going great. And
0:47
that means we're going to move full head on steam
0:49
into the draft very, very soon. We got a bunch
0:52
of great shows coming up, but we got
0:54
a bunch of stuff to cover, you
0:56
know, from this last wave of free agency. I'd
0:58
say we're about 80 to 90% done with free agency. There
1:02
were a ton of signings this year.
1:04
Obviously we got that salary cap bump by 30 million
1:06
up to 260 million. Teams
1:09
were very aggressive. But
1:12
yeah, what's left of the
1:14
free agency class is crumbs. On
1:17
today's show, as Evan mentioned, we're going to discuss
1:19
the fallout of the moves that were made since
1:21
we last recorded. So since we last recorded, that
1:23
was March 14th. So there's
1:26
been a bunch of really important moves that have happened
1:28
since March 14th. We're going to break all those down
1:30
at the end of this show. We will also highlight
1:32
our 10 biggest fantasy
1:34
winners of the free
1:36
agency period. Before
1:39
we get into it today, two
1:41
quick reminders. First, it is with
1:43
great joy, unbridled enthusiasm. I
1:46
can let you know spring football is
1:48
back this spring. There is just
1:50
one league. It's called the United
1:52
Football League as the XFL and the
1:54
USFL have merged. UFL, the United Football
1:57
League, eight teams, 10 week
1:59
regular season. as the sick puppies
2:01
that we are. We are of course
2:03
covering the UFL with projections, ownership, top
2:05
plays, depth chart, lots more. These
2:08
minor leagues for all sports, but these
2:10
minor leagues for football and preseason NFL,
2:13
to me, you can create the biggest
2:15
edges there. They're just the best because
2:17
we are digesting and getting information on
2:20
injuries and usage that is just
2:22
not publicly available. It's just really hard to
2:24
compile all that. We do all that work
2:27
for you. So if you're interested in the
2:29
UFL, head to establishedrun.com. Now you'll see the
2:31
UFL tab there. With more
2:33
info, team previews are already up for free.
2:35
Depth charts are up for subscribers as
2:37
well. First round of projections for week one will
2:40
be up Thursday. Second, still
2:42

3:15
right, Evan, let's get into it here. Here
3:17
are the 12 most
3:19
important things you need to know from the
3:21
final 10 days of free agency. Again, these
3:24
are moves that were made after on March
3:26
14th or later.
3:29
First biggest move was one I actually tweeted about
3:31
before it happened and Jets Twitter picked it up
3:33
and they went nuts and it was positive. And
3:35
so NetJets Twitter loves me now. Shout out to
3:37
you guys. Of course they hated me when I
3:39
was saying bad things about the Jets last year.
3:41
But anyways, Mike Williams, who
3:43
was of course cut by the Chargers,
3:46
does a one year up to $15
3:48
million deal with The
3:50
Jets. Now Mike Williams has had his fair
3:52
share of injuries. He's coming off of an
3:54
ACL tear, but they desperately, in my opinion,
3:56
needed help. opposite. Garrett Wilson. Al Lazard was
3:59
a mess. Last. Year. So now
4:01
you give Aaron Rodgers. Three. New
4:03
op eds of lineman you give him gear
4:05
wilson you can breeze have give big Mike
4:07
Williams get of argue the an arguably the
4:10
Nfl best defense. And. they had attended.
4:12
Overall pick. On. Paper at him. And.
4:14
I want to get to get of the Mike Williams
4:16
move but just on paper this roster. I
4:19
think it's really good. Man, I took some long
4:21
shot futures on them. I can talk about it
4:23
a second here this past week. or what you
4:25
think of Mike Williams. Signing. With
4:27
the Jets world's first of all, the
4:29
blur roster does look good on paper.
4:32
They. It's like the biggest boom bust roster
4:34
in the Nfl because it's a bunch of
4:36
due who are. Have. As
4:38
had you know, quality Nfl careers
4:40
but are on the on the
4:42
downside of their career or coming
4:44
off of significant injury. I thought
4:46
the Mike Williams deal was worth
4:48
every penny though, and it was
4:50
initially. now says up to fifteen
4:52
million. Look deeper. It's a point.
4:54
Three million. One years. A point Three million.
4:57
I think that's entirely worth it. For.
4:59
A player that was playing at a really high level.
5:02
This past season what it was only
5:04
three games was averaging almost ninety yards
5:06
per game. Ten. Yards for to heart
5:08
target. The year before, he averaged almost ten
5:10
yards for target. You. Know where
5:12
We saw him as a featured part of
5:14
the offense with the Chargers. He flashy ability
5:16
to be a one a receiver. So
5:19
but it will come down to health. he's not. This is
5:21
gonna have to have that on his plate. With.
5:23
Garrett Wilson. And. The Just I
5:26
think right now it to just three. If
5:28
if the season worse are today, the Jets
5:30
three receivers set would be Mike Williams and
5:32
Dare Wilson on the outside. Out.
5:34
Some combination of our Lazard and
5:36
Xavier Gibson. On. The inside. I
5:39
mean, I. Do Not
5:41
think that Mike Williams fantasy.
5:44
Outlook. Is as strong as it is
5:46
as a real life move. We have a huge
5:48
gap between Gary Wilson and Make Lives. We have
5:50
gear Wilson eleventh overall. In our underdog
5:52
rankings right now. Mike Williams ninety third overall,
5:54
so that is a big big gap. Mike
5:56
Williams has been a big. Touchdown
5:59
guy. I think that
6:01
Aaron Rodgers highlighting running backs and
6:03
my reason we have Bruce Hall up there
6:05
as a very nice first round pick as
6:07
well. He's going to get a lot of
6:09
touches too. So it's not like I'm excited
6:11
or overly excited about Michael Williams from fantasy
6:14
from real life though. I did take jets
6:16
30 to one Superbowl jets, plus 300 to
6:18
win the AFC East and Robert Saleh, which
6:20
I don't even love because God, I feel
6:22
like coaches could hold this team back, but
6:24
Robert Saleh 25 to one to be the
6:26
coach of the year. A little sprinkle there
6:28
as well as we start to build the
6:30
futures portfolio for Yeah.
6:33
Nathaniel back, Nathaniel Hackett back
6:35
safely as the Jets offensive coordinator. All those, as
6:38
I was putting those bets in, I was like,
6:40
I can't believe I'm betting on this dolt Nathaniel
6:42
Hackett again. I can't believe I'm putting more money
6:44
on this guy, but yeah, I
6:46
do like the roster a lot speaking
6:49
of the chargers. So once Mike Williams went, it
6:51
was kind of assumed or thought at least that
6:54
Keenan Allen would be staying. Turns
6:56
out chargers went to Keenan Allen, asked
6:58
him to take a pay cut. He said, nah,
7:00
man, I'm coming off my best year. I'm not taking a
7:02
pay cut chargers say fine. We trade
7:04
you to the bears for around
7:06
four pick. So this one I thought was
7:09
a little surprising to me. I mean, they
7:11
left themselves, the chargers did with absolutely nothing.
7:14
Josh Palmer and Quentin Johnston are their wide
7:16
receivers. Their tight ends are Hayden Hearst, Will
7:19
Dustley and Donald Parham. They're running backs are
7:21
Gus Edwards and Isaiah Spiller. They have, they
7:24
they've come in here, this new regime and
7:27
given them no weaponry, given Justin
7:29
Herbert, no weaponry. And it scares me. So
7:31
first, Evan, what'd you think about Keenan Allen
7:33
going to the bears for around four pick? Well,
7:35
it was extremely critical of the bears off season
7:38
and the last show that we did, I thought, and
7:40
then I think it was the same night that we,
7:42
that we sent that out that they made the trade
7:44
for Keenan Allen. I was like, this
7:47
is one of the better moves of the
7:49
off season. I think, you know, giving an
7:51
incoming rookie quarterback, a steady, sure-handed,
7:54
great route running possession
7:56
receiver to compliment DJ
7:59
Moore. Keno knows
8:01
how to get open. That's something that
8:03
I think, I mean, look, he's what, 33
8:05
years old now. And yet this is not
8:07
necessarily a move made for the long
8:09
term. But it's
8:11
a guy that I think that into his mid 30s
8:14
will still have the capability to get open. He's
8:16
always, you remember him coming out of college, he ran
8:18
like four seven, but he's had like
8:20
a borderline hall of fame career because he
8:22
just knows how to get open period. Especially
8:27
on because Caleb Williams is so good as
8:29
like a second reaction, improvisational
8:33
quarterback. Like this guy
8:35
is someone that he can rely on to get open
8:38
in those scenarios. And even when he's playing within structure,
8:40
I thought it was a really smart move by
8:42
Ryan polls. I thought that the
8:45
price was great for what they got
8:47
him for. So big
8:49
clap for the bears on this one. Okay,
8:51
our first run of ranks here, we have
8:54
DJ more 28th overall, Keenan Allen, 55th
8:56
overall market has it a little bit tighter
8:58
there. But I think that's fair given how
9:01
well DJ more perform than where Keenan Allen
9:03
is at in his career. The question
9:05
I have for you Evan is what are the
9:07
charges going cuz I'm concerned. I am very concerned
9:10
that they are gonna try to turn Justin Herbert
9:12
who I think is very good young quarterback. I
9:14
know people disagree. I
9:16
think Jared's nervous very good young quarterback and
9:18
who can play aggressively. They're gonna try to
9:21
turn him into like Trent Dilfer on those
9:23
Ravens teams. The problem is he's not gonna
9:25
be that efficient. I don't think given the weaponry around
9:27
him, the run game led by Gus Edwards and Isaiah
9:29
Spiller and I understand they have to track the draft
9:31
coming up and they have the high pick. I believe
9:33
they have the fifth overall pick but still man, what
9:36
are the charges doing? They have nothing at the
9:38
skill positions right now. Well,
9:41
Jim Harbaugh at Stanford
9:44
used Andrew
9:46
Luck as a low volume passing
9:48
quarterback then he had Alex Smith
9:51
in San Francisco. Greg
9:53
Roman when he was in Baltimore Lamar Jackson
9:56
very low volume quarterback. That's what I would
9:58
expect at number. 5
10:01
overall, it seems
10:03
like it's going to be wide receiver or
10:05
Joe Alt out of Notre
10:07
Dame. And it wouldn't
10:09
surprise me if they went with Joe Alt
10:11
because of the philosophy that they seem to
10:13
be pursuing right now. I mean,
10:15
but you're right. It's almost like they are punting
10:18
at wide receiver. As
10:20
you mentioned, Josh Palmer, again, I
10:22
don't think you can rely on anything coming from
10:25
Quentin Johnson after what he put on tape as
10:27
a rookie. The good
10:29
news is that the wide receiver class is really, really
10:31
deep. So in later rounds, they'll have to, they'll be
10:33
able to take some shots, but it wouldn't
10:35
surprise me if they went with the tackle at number
10:37
five. Okay. You want to be a really good running team. Your
10:40
running backs are Gus Edwards and Isaiah Spiller, you know,
10:42
so I'm not even that excited about that. And
10:45
I understand that they can get running backs in the draft
10:47
also just worried about what they're doing. And
10:49
we do have Justin Herbert very low in the ranks. We have
10:51
him as our QB 16 right now in
10:53
fantasy. And I believe last year we were up way
10:56
higher on Justin Herbert market is around
10:58
QB 16. We're at QB 12 on Justin Herbert right now.
11:00
Again, we're at QB 16 on him. A
11:03
very telling decision that they made, and I'm
11:05
not even saying, I'm not saying that it's
11:08
a poor decision or anything like that was
11:10
that they elected to keep those two pass
11:12
rushers. Remember they were in a position where
11:14
they can move on with Mike from Mike
11:16
Williams or Keenan Allen or
11:19
Joey Bosa or Khalil Mack. They wound up
11:21
keeping Mack and Bosa and letting go of
11:23
both of the wide receivers. Yep.
11:25
Yeah, clearly. I'm not going to
11:28
be focused on defense right now. Maybe you know, if they're focusing on both
11:30
lines, maybe it'll be all or maybe they'll trade back and try to get
11:32
multiple picks, but we're going to have a lot
11:35
more draft speculation coming up soon on
11:37
future shows. All right.
11:39
This one is exciting for fantasy. I think
11:41
Marquis Brown, Hollywood fake Hollywood
11:44
from Hollywood, Florida, not California, Marquis
11:46
Brown, one year deal with
11:48
the Kansas city chiefs just
11:50
makes a lot of sense for me
11:53
from both sides from Marquis Brown's side.
11:56
If he can stay healthy and
11:58
not drop the football like other charges. other
12:00
Chiefs wide receivers did all last year. Marcus
12:03
Brown is going to hit free agency again in 12
12:05
months at a very young age. And he just saw
12:07
Cala Ridley get 50 million guaranteed. I
12:09
mean, assuming Marcus Brown plays well with Patrick
12:12
Mahomes this year, he could really break the
12:14
bank. I like that from their perspective, from
12:16
Marcus Brown's perspective, from the Chiefs perspective,
12:18
Marcus Brown is best wide receiver
12:21
talent. Mahomes will have had since
12:23
Tyree Kale left, I think pretty clearly.
12:27
So yeah, I think it's a win-win on both. Evan,
12:29
what did you think of Marcus
12:31
going to the Chiefs? Yeah, Rashid Rice is
12:33
pretty good, but they play different roles. You
12:35
know, I mean, this
12:37
is what they need on the perimeter. As
12:40
you mentioned, you know, he's not a consistent
12:42
touch for the football and he's battled injuries,
12:44
but his skillset when he's healthy.
12:47
I mean, I think that, you know, this is a
12:49
guy that can absolutely separate, get behind the defense,
12:51
take advantage of what Patrick Mahomes brings to the
12:54
table. I really like this signing. You know,
12:56
it's not like a long-term investment by any
12:58
means. Marcus Brown is 26 going on,
13:00
27 years old. I
13:03
still think they need another dude opposite
13:05
him. You know, it's like enough
13:07
with the playing, Justin
13:09
Watson, you know, 60% of
13:12
the snaps, you know, you obviously can't rely on
13:14
Kaderius Moore, Sky Moore. I think it's pretty much
13:16
a dust ball at this point. I
13:19
still think that they should look long and hard at
13:22
a wide receiver with the 30 second overall
13:24
pick. They should not
13:26
be done here. Well, especially since Marcus Brown is only
13:28
on a one year deal. And if he has a
13:30
good year, he's going to be very expensive and the
13:32
Chiefs might not be able to bring him back. We
13:35
do have Rashid Rice, 21st overall, of Marcus
13:38
Brown, 62nd overall in
13:40
our rankings right now. One
13:43
thing on philosophy, we were just talking about
13:45
this, we've been working on the Travis Kelsey
13:47
ranking, which is a very difficult ranking. Chiefs
13:50
philosophically, though, like what they did last year,
13:52
rely on the defense, run the ball more,
13:54
run the ball in the red zone more.
13:57
I think that could still kind of be sticky. people
14:00
are all that's going to regress. They're going to go back
14:02
to being super pass happy. I don't know. They're, they put,
14:04
give a lot of money to Chris
14:06
Jones. Obviously they lost speed,
14:08
which we'll get to in a second here. They still have McDuffie.
14:10
So I don't know. I kind of think that the way they
14:12
played last year might be the best way for
14:14
them to win right now. But yeah, that's
14:16
definitely an interesting philosophical question on how the
14:18
chiefs are going to play. Well, one of
14:20
the things about the chief's defense last year
14:23
is it was really, really young. I mean,
14:25
Brett Veach has been on fire hitting on
14:27
draft picks, uh, on the front end and
14:29
on the back end on defense.
14:32
And so, and they're bringing like the
14:34
vast majority of those dudes back and
14:36
they re-sign Chris Jones. Yeah. So no,
14:38
no question. See Spagnolo back as well.
14:41
You know, the chiefs like that they're going to
14:43
be really good on defense can be unsticky from
14:45
year to year. Okay. But on paper, they look
14:47
like they're going to be one of the best
14:49
defense in the league again. Yep. Okay.
14:53
Speaking of wide receivers signing with
14:55
AFC contenders, I like this
14:57
deal. And you know, I did some, you know, kind
14:59
of harmless tweet where I was ranking the remaining free
15:02
agent wide receivers left and I had Curtis Samuel
15:04
up there pretty high and people were getting all
15:06
over me. People do not like Curtis Samuel. I'm
15:09
not, I have not given up
15:11
on Curtis Samuel out of all those guys that
15:13
were left, he was clearly the youngest. He's super
15:15
versatile. He can play all over the field, play
15:17
in different positions for the wide receiver. Bills get
15:20
him for three year deal worth up to 30
15:22
million. I'm sure the real money
15:24
is nowhere near that. I
15:26
think it's a good move for the
15:28
bills who desperately, desperately need weapons, especially
15:30
after losing Gabe Davis. Evan, what'd you
15:32
think of the Curtis Samuel deal? I
15:35
liked it, you know, and the bills have
15:38
had players like this before and
15:41
they've had levels of success with
15:43
them. Isaiah McKenzie, Deontay
15:45
Hardy, Khalil Shakir a
15:47
little bit. Um, but
15:50
I think Curtis Samuel is better than all those guys.
15:53
Uh, if I were to do rankings and I liked
15:55
what Khalil Shakir did, I would have
15:57
Curtis Samuel above Khalil Shakir. Right
16:01
now, yeah, Curtis
16:04
Samuel can be a high percentage. He's at first
16:06
of all, a player that you can hand the
16:09
ball off to the back and they can
16:11
make plays that way. But
16:13
he can also be a high percentage receiver
16:15
might make life a little bit easier on
16:18
Josh Allen, bring that, you know, make sure
16:20
that completion rate stays high. I
16:22
liked it a lot and I think that the actual
16:24
numbers of the the base value three years, 24 million,
16:28
very, very palatable. Yeah. And the way that the
16:31
bills played down the stretch last year was not
16:33
the way that they played for most of the
16:35
Josh Allen era. They went to a far more
16:37
run, heavy scheming fewer three and four wide receiver
16:39
sets. We have that reflected in the rankings a
16:41
little bit here, Curtis Samuel. We have 130 overall
16:44
clear Shakir 132 overall Kincaid up at 77 James
16:46
Cook up at
16:51
59, but yeah, you know, super
16:53
interesting offense and excited to see
16:55
Curtis Samuel with Josh Allen
16:58
and more of a featured role than what
17:00
he's had. I'm interested to see if anything
17:02
might happen between now in the draft regarding
17:04
Stefan Diggs because I'm just
17:07
not a hundred percent sold that
17:09
he's going to be back with the
17:11
team. I'm obviously I don't know anything,
17:13
but you know,
17:15
I just I don't know. I'll be
17:18
waiting to see if anything happens there with
17:20
Stefan Diggs. Yeah, really tough ranking on
17:22
Stefan Diggs. He's been going in like
17:24
the end of the second round, early third
17:26
round in drafts and it's hard to
17:28
pass on him there, but things there's
17:30
definitely a lot of smoke down the stretch each of the last
17:32
two years. A trade
17:35
a rare NFL trade of skill
17:37
players. The Falcons gave up Desmond Ritter
17:39
to get Rondale Moore
17:41
from the Cardinals. Obviously
17:44
Ritter will be there to back up Kyler
17:46
Murray. More interesting for us is how Rondale
17:48
Moore fits in this new Falcons offense. Obviously,
17:50
we're expecting them to run a
17:52
ton of three wide receiver sets this year.
17:55
That will be it looks like will be
17:57
Drake London Darnell Mooney and Rondale
17:59
Moore. Now, I'm a
18:01
Rondell Moore guy. I like Rondell Moore.
18:03
I was scared at his inability to
18:06
earn targets last year, especially because Greg
18:08
Dorch was out there earning targets at
18:10
a way higher rate than him, often
18:12
in the same role. So I don't
18:14
know, maybe Rondell Moore is
18:16
better in my head than he is in real life. What did
18:18
you think of the Falcons trading for Rondell
18:20
Moore? Well, you know, I've
18:22
kind of made my thoughts clear on Rondell
18:25
Moore for the last couple of years that
18:27
I think that he should be not
18:29
a wide receiver and more of like a slot back
18:32
or even like a change of
18:34
pace back, who you give the ball to on the
18:37
ground five to nine times per
18:39
game. And
18:42
in the NFL, he is averaging five
18:44
yards per carry this past year. He
18:46
averaged over six yards per carry in
18:48
college. He was at like eight yards
18:50
per carry. He's not big enough to
18:53
even do, you know, what Austin Eckler
18:55
did. But, you know, that type of
18:57
player, Austin Eckler, earlier in his
18:59
career. But I think it
19:01
with the Falcons right now
19:03
on paper, they are Drake
19:06
London as their number one. On
19:09
the outside, Darnell Mooney is that field stretching role
19:11
player on the other side and then
19:13
Rondell Moore probably in the slot and
19:15
maybe used a little bit in the
19:17
backfield, although they are bringing back Bijon
19:19
Robinson and Tyler Algier. So
19:22
they may not find any room for him
19:24
in that capacity. I think that, but I
19:26
think that he projects right now as their
19:28
starting slot receiver. Yeah.
19:30
I mean, there's not much of an appetite for
19:32
Rondell Moore right now. We have him ranked 204th
19:34
overall. His ADP is like 212 right
19:37
now is Rondell. Darnell Mooney is going much higher up
19:39
in the 150s range. And
19:41
of course, Drake London. I mean, we'll get to him
19:43
here in a second at the end
19:45
of the show, but yeah, very excited about him. One
19:48
thing I think that is somewhat
19:50
important to note as we start
19:53
to talk more about fantasy football is
19:55
the impact From like the
19:57
Falcons, their defense right now. Needs
20:00
a ton of work. I mean they're
20:02
good. Players are are are on defense
20:04
are starting to get old. They got
20:06
to defensive backs that are good and
20:08
then. Almost nothing else.
20:10
Grady Jarrett is getting old. They have
20:12
no edge. pass rushers, a minister a
20:15
projects as a shootout team. Of
20:17
as they move on to Zap
20:20
Robinson. I either. Oh see, I
20:22
mean classic Her cousin seem right? how many
20:24
Kirk Cousins teams have been thrown from forty
20:26
yards? Give up four hundred yards? You know?
20:28
it's like. Yeah. It's shaping
20:30
up really well for falcons infinity more
20:32
on that at Canada, so. Does
20:35
the fields We will talk about this. I
20:37
feel like for two months Finally finally we
20:39
have a resolution to the Just Field saga.
20:42
Goes. The Steelers for conditional
20:44
twenty twenty five Round Six.
20:47
Pick. Mike. Tomlin said that Russell
20:49
Wilson is still in pole position. To.
20:51
Start and I have with him. I think
20:53
Russell Wilson will start. Week. One I
20:55
guess the question of in his d thing
20:57
just the fields make starts for the Steelers
20:59
this year. and what you think about the
21:01
Bears. Moved. To finally get rid
21:03
of him for effective week pennies. I mean fractions
21:05
of pennies on the dollar? Well, it was your
21:07
snowballing in the wrong direction. You know? There was
21:09
a time like entering the Combine, I thought that
21:12
the Bears might be able to get like a
21:14
second in a five. And went to
21:16
the Combine. Didn't. Think they were
21:18
going to get that and then I was like
21:20
other human gonna get a five and they wound
21:22
up getting what a conditional five that. I.
21:25
Am twenty twenty five. So.
21:27
Essentially a six users was would just
21:29
down around. Is. A mean that
21:31
the i'm in a. They. Had
21:33
to come up for nothing at the
21:35
same time, I don't understand why there
21:37
would be any pressure to start Russell
21:39
Wilson under Just And Fields. Just And
21:41
fields the work for another. Give me
21:43
one of the most run heavy teams
21:45
in the Nfl. Justin
21:48
Fields ring so much more in
21:50
the running game. Then. Does Russell
21:52
Wilson? interesting feals? Has a chance a
21:54
chance? I'll be a
21:56
perhaps slight to be the Steelers quarterback.
21:59
Of. the future Russell Wilson does not have
22:01
that. So,
22:03
I don't know, can you make the case
22:05
for me why Russell Wilson should be favored?
22:07
I understand that he's had more success from
22:10
a one-loss standpoint over the course of his
22:12
career, but so is Joe Montana,
22:14
and he's retired. Exactly what
22:16
Mike Conlon said. He said, body of work, right,
22:18
body of work. And I think in
22:21
NFL circles, Justin Fields is not
22:23
highly regarded, and maybe Russell Wilson still is
22:26
at some level, at least his body of
22:28
work is. So, I know you've talked about
22:30
Justin Fields being unable to process, when
22:33
he drops back, unable to process fast enough
22:35
at the NFL level that can send coaches
22:38
to the moon. I agree with you, though, if they want to win the most
22:40
games this year, to me, it would be just
22:42
start Justin Fields and run the ball 30 times
22:45
a game, you know, and try to win that way.
22:47
This is an off-topic tangent, but I
22:50
thought, and the owner's meetings are going
22:52
on right now, and there's
22:54
a coach's breakfast where the reporters go,
22:57
all go around and talk to the coaches, and
22:59
Shane Steichen, I thought, the Colts' head coach, had
23:01
one of the most interesting interviews
23:04
talking about, like, their
23:06
specific roster and what they want to do,
23:08
and talking about Anthony Richardson, Justin
23:10
Fields, we talk about how he's a slow
23:13
processor. Shane Steichen, who has had an incredible
23:15
amount of success with various
23:17
quarterbacks throughout his time as
23:21
an offensive coordinator head coach, was,
23:23
like, a boullient about Anthony Richardson's
23:26
ability to process quickly. We didn't get to see
23:28
a lot of Anthony Richardson as a
23:30
rookie, but Shane Steichen admitted that he was
23:32
blown away with how quickly Anthony Richardson processed
23:34
information. I know that you love Anthony Richardson.
23:36
He's going to be such, he should be
23:38
such a fun player if he can stay
23:40
healthy this year. He's going to absolutely smash.
23:42
We have him up as our QB five
23:45
right now, so, I mean, we're not sneaking
23:47
him past anyone. His ADP is QB five
23:49
also, but, yeah, he's, Anthony Richardson
23:51
is going to smash. Okay. Speaking
23:53
of quarterbacks, a small one here, Sam Howell to
23:55
the Seahawks for some pick swaps. The only reason
23:57
I wanted to bring this one up is
24:00
A, it's obvious now that the commanders
24:02
are taking a quarterback with their first
24:05
pick, but B, some people
24:07
think Geno Smith is on thin ice. Geno Smith
24:09
isn't good enough. He's not an NFL starter. He's
24:11
a sub-average NFL starter. And they bring in Sam
24:13
Howell, who took so many sacks last year, but
24:15
had some decent moments as well. Do
24:18
you think there's a real competition here, Evan, now between
24:20
Geno Smith and Sam Howell? And how do you
24:22
think that plays out? I do not,
24:24
but at the same time, it's an
24:26
entirely new coaching staff. So, you
24:29
know, if for some reason the new coaching
24:31
staff gets frustrated with Geno Smith, maybe
24:33
they could look into Sam Howell. There were moments early
24:36
in the season last year and
24:38
even around mid-season where Sam Howell, like I thought,
24:40
all right, he looks like he has a starting
24:43
skill set. But
24:46
I think that that kind of ran its
24:48
course. And he just reminds me
24:50
of like Ryan Fitzpatrick. He could have a
24:52
Ryan Fitzpatrick year, where he hangs career, where
24:54
he hangs around like 10
24:56
years. He gets in there. He's
24:59
a high variance backup. I kind of liked the
25:01
idea of having a high variance backup instead of
25:03
a quarterback who's just going to run the offense.
25:05
And you know, you got to run the ball
25:07
to move the ball. And you end up punting
25:09
a lot. Like you have a high variance quarterback
25:11
who gives you a chance to like actually
25:13
win games and score points. And I think that
25:15
Sam Howell gives you that because he's willing
25:17
to be aggressive. He's also probably going to
25:19
take too many sacks and he's going to make
25:22
some mistakes just like Ryan Fitzpatrick. But
25:24
you know, Ryan Fitzpatrick had runs where I mean, shoot,
25:26
you won like 10 games in
25:28
a 16 game season with the Jets one year
25:30
and they have weapons.
25:32
So they give Sam Howell, let's say
25:34
Geno Smith got hurt. Sam Howell would like become
25:36
an interesting fantasy quarterback. Like last year, Sam Howell,
25:39
I think he finished as a top 15 fantasy
25:41
quarterback in for a lot of the year. He
25:43
was a top 12. Yep, for sure.
25:45
And he gave you a little bit with his legs.
25:47
Also, yeah, it's an interesting point because like the
25:50
Browns went to Joe Flacco last year and he's,
25:52
you know, his lows are really low. He throws
25:54
a ton of pick sixes, but his
25:56
highs are really high too. And you saw that with the Browns. He
25:58
won't come back player of the year. going nuts. So
26:00
yeah, it's an interesting thought on backup quarterback strategy.
26:04
A couple of defensive moves I wanted to touch on here. I know
26:06
we don't normally do too much on
26:08
defensive moves, but this one I thought was
26:10
interesting. Ligeria Snead, the Chiefs trade Ligeria Snead
26:13
to the Tennessee Titans for a 2025 round
26:16
three pick. Titans then turn around and give Ligeria
26:18
Snead a $76 million deal with $55 million guaranteed.
26:20
Now, the Titans are
26:25
blasting. I mean, Snead, $55 million
26:28
guaranteed. Ridley, $50 million. Lloyd Cushionberry, the
26:30
center, $26 million. Chuduia Wozier, the cornerback
26:32
who will play opposite Snead, $19 million.
26:35
Tony Pollard, $10 million guaranteed. Kenneth Murray,
26:37
$7 million. I mean, they're going to put a
26:40
lot of talent, I guess, around Will Levis,
26:42
but I still don't have a great feeling about them actually being
26:45
good. I'd probably feel better about it if they had Ravell to
26:47
be honest, but of course they let Ravell
26:50
go. What do you think about the Snead
26:52
move and then also the Titans just absolutely
26:54
blasting in free agency? Yeah. Well, they had
26:56
a lot of money and
26:59
they spent it. Their
27:04
new head coach is Brian Callahan. You
27:06
brought his dad,
27:08
Bill Callahan, one of the
27:10
best offensive line coaches along. I
27:13
guess they're going to mostly bank on that. I
27:15
think that they'll probably draft another offensive lineman. They
27:18
actually probably should draft like freaking three of them,
27:20
but their offensive line looks really
27:22
bad right now, even
27:24
after they signed Lloyd Cushionberry,
27:27
like glaring holes
27:29
at multiple positions.
27:32
That would be the biggest weakness that
27:34
I would see. That's a
27:36
very big one because it doesn't mess well with
27:38
Will Levis whose sack rate last year was way,
27:41
way, way, way, way too high. That
27:43
would be the biggest concern. I
27:46
guess the feeling right now is that they're going to keep
27:48
DeAndre Hopkins, even though they could create a
27:50
lot of salary cap room by letting him go.
27:52
They don't necessarily need that salary
27:54
cap room. I don't know. The whiteout
27:56
court has a lot of potential on
27:58
paper, Tralon Burks. Calvin Ridley,
28:01
DeAndre Hopkins. We like
28:04
the talent of Chig, Akanko.
28:06
You know, can't say the Titans don't have weapons. Um,
28:10
what do you mean about Levis? Just,
28:12
just generally, like Levis is going to be
28:14
an interesting fantasy player,
28:18
I think as like in two QB leagues
28:20
and in these super deep. That's
28:22
Paul Lee. He certainly has some weaponry around him now
28:24
and given their running back room, like they
28:26
don't have a thumper, right? They have Pollard and they have Spears. They
28:29
could be really throw heavy. I think it is not because
28:31
of line thing squared away. Any thoughts
28:33
on Levis? I mean, shoot, Brian Callahan comes from
28:35
the Bengals who've been very, very throw heavy, a
28:38
lot, a lot of shotgun, a lot, a lot
28:40
of passing. Yeah. I pass rate. So yeah,
28:43
that's, that's definitely a possibility with
28:46
the, with the stated offensive line. I think you're going
28:48
to want to get Will Levis
28:51
getting the ball out of his hands as
28:53
quickly as you as humanly possible. Because
28:56
he ran into the sack problems and
28:58
their offensive line is such an issue.
29:00
I don't know. I think that the
29:02
jury is out. Obviously, Will Levis, Levis
29:04
came out and he looked great initially.
29:07
And the more he played the worst that he got.
29:09
And there were some really bad games there
29:11
down the stretch. And there, the history of
29:13
second round quarterbacks is just, it's
29:16
not very good. So
29:18
I definitely have a level of skepticism, but I
29:20
mean, I'm trying to stay open minded on him.
29:22
And again, the weapons, like he's got the weapons.
29:24
Yeah. I mean, a quarterback
29:26
who can move a little bit with Hopkins Pollard,
29:28
Ridley Spears, Chig, Burks,
29:30
I mean, his ADP is
29:33
230th overall right now in one QB. All right.
29:36
Another move. I just want to give a tip
29:38
of the hat to Aaron Donald to make a decision to
29:41
retire, even though he's still playing at a dominant level.
29:43
So shout out to Aaron Donald, certainly one of the
29:45
best players of our generation. And
29:48
then just what the Rams are going to look like this year, I
29:50
was kind of thinking they've
29:53
spent a ton on their interior offensive line, something
29:55
crazy, like a hundred million or something. They spent
29:57
this all season on the interior of their offensive. Line
30:00
defense though without Donald could be
30:03
bad. Again, leading to my
30:05
shootouts, Puca is going to be a top
30:07
10 pick. Kyra Williams is
30:09
going to be a top 12 pick as
30:11
well. But yeah, Evan, any thoughts on the
30:13
Aaron Donald retirement and what the Rams defense
30:15
is going to look like this year? They
30:17
did steal Kobe Turner in the third round
30:20
of the 2023 draft, which takes a
30:22
little bit off of that. But
30:24
I mean, don't you think that Kobe Turner benefited from playing
30:26
next to Aaron Donald? Of course he did.
30:29
It's almost like losing two players, maybe
30:31
even two and a half. That's how
30:33
high impact of a presence Aaron Donald
30:36
was. I mean, I
30:38
think that this is going to be a shootout team. It
30:41
looks like a shootout team on paper. They
30:43
also lost their defensive coordinator who
30:45
did such a great job. Raheem
30:47
Morris replaced him with Chris Shula.
30:50
But yeah, I mean, their offensive line all of a
30:52
sudden looks really good, especially
30:55
that interior. Stafford showed
30:57
that he can really still play last season.
31:00
Cooper Cup showed that he's
31:02
probably on the downside, but
31:04
not totally finished. Once
31:07
he finally got healthy last year, and obviously Puka,
31:09
a baller. And yeah,
31:12
Kyra obviously a baller. So I think they're going
31:14
to score a lot of points again. Yeah, I
31:16
mean, we're above ADP on Puka. We have a
31:18
seventh overall. We're above ADP on Cooper Cup. We
31:20
have a 34th overall. And we're
31:22
pretty close on Kyra as well. So three
31:24
huge fantasy players on the
31:26
Rams for sure. Let's
31:29
go to a couple of small ones
31:31
here. Dante Foreman signed with the Browns.
31:33
So the Browns running back room now
31:35
looks like Jerome Ford, I would consider the
31:38
number one. Then Dante Foreman.
31:40
And then Pierre Strong. And then maybe Nahim
31:43
Heinz on the roster too. Of
31:45
course, I did not mention Nick Chubb, who we do not
31:47
expect to be ready for week one. We do not expect
31:49
to be ready for week four. We really don't know exactly
31:51
when he'll be ready. But man, Nick
31:53
Chubb's left knee has been through absolute hell going back
31:55
to the Georgia days. I mean, we're talking about like
31:58
decade of. left knee
32:00
issues for Nick Chubb and going through
32:02
a very difficult rehab again. So, hard
32:04
on expectations there, but I did think
32:07
Deontay Foreman for real cheap was
32:09
a fine signing for the Browns. What do you think
32:11
about that and their running back room? Great
32:14
sign. Have you ever since Deontay
32:16
Foreman made it back from
32:18
that Achilles, you know, he's
32:20
been, and it took him four years
32:22
to come back. I
32:24
mean, I think he's been really impressive.
32:26
He was impressive in Carolina. He
32:28
was impressive with the Bears. Now he
32:30
goes to a team that has a great running scheme, a bunch
32:33
of, you know, stud run blockers. I
32:37
was going to be like high, really high
32:39
on Jerome Ford, actually. And this
32:41
takes a lot of air out of that
32:43
balloon, I believe, because Deontay Foreman is a
32:45
guy where you can put it in his belly, 15, 16,
32:48
20 times in a particular game,
32:51
and he can be really productive
32:53
and wear down a defense. I mean, he's like, you
32:55
know, Derek Henry minus, you
32:58
know, 20 pounds, but I mean, he's, he's
33:00
a big boy. He's a horse. And
33:03
yeah, this really hurts my outlook for Jerome
33:05
Ford. Okay. Also, speaking of the
33:07
Browns, I just want to tie up the
33:09
bow on the Jerry Judy thing. So last
33:11
time we talked about Jerry Judy getting traded
33:14
this time, what happened since we last recorded
33:16
was Jerry G got an extension. Now the
33:18
reported numbers were 41 million guaranteed. That sounds
33:20
like a lot, but that was baking in
33:22
the 13 million that he was already going
33:24
to get this year, no matter what. So
33:26
it's only 28 million in new guarantees for
33:28
Jerry Judy, not a ton for a good
33:31
wide out. The question is, is he a good
33:33
wide out? Now, one thing I did think from
33:35
this extension was we were talking about who's going
33:37
to be ahead, Jerry Judy or
33:39
Elijah Moore. Given this contract, I kind of think
33:41
that Jerry Judy is going to be ahead of
33:44
Elijah Moore. I'm curious who you
33:46
think is better between those two. Evan, any
33:48
thoughts on the Browns decision to go ahead
33:50
and extend Judy early here? It
33:55
was a little bit surprising. I thought that they were just
33:57
going to maybe write it out on that one. The
34:00
the the fifth year. Yeah,
34:03
but I mean that way it was a large sum of money
34:05
They wound up pretty much just guaranteeing that and the next year.
34:08
It's really a two-year guaranteed deal You
34:12
know Jerry Judy's 24 years old
34:14
let me see when he Yeah,
34:17
he turned art so he turns 25 in a month But
34:20
I mean that is really really young still
34:22
yeah for a dude who it feels like
34:24
he's been in a league for like You
34:26
know six years, but I mean I think
34:28
it's worth a shot. He's had You
34:30
know repeated high ankle sprains, which
34:33
just torpedo seasons especially for a
34:35
for a wide receiver That
34:37
that works like Jerry Judy. I mean
34:40
he's you know very reliant on agility
34:42
and footwork So you suffer in
34:44
high ankle sprain that can be really tough So
34:47
much of the fantasy outlook comes down to I
34:50
think to Sean Watson They're
34:52
gonna I mean, but yeah, I would
34:54
agree in two receiver sets Amari Cooper
34:56
at X Jerry Judy
34:58
at Z Elijah Moore
35:00
in the slot that's the three receiver set
35:02
in two receiver sets Amari and Judy Yeah
35:05
I was Actually like Jerry Judy's
35:07
gotten so much crap from everyone and so publicly
35:10
from Steve Smith at the Steve Smith thing people
35:12
were like Steve Smith is gonna
35:14
cause Jerry Judy money because now everybody you
35:16
know everybody respects Steve Smith so much He
35:19
still got his you know 28 million extras so
35:21
you know good for Jerry Judy all
35:23
right Last
35:25
one year before we get to the biggest winners
35:27
of free agency as their Madison stays in the
35:29
league I thought maybe there was a chance he'd
35:31
be out of the league But I was very
35:33
Madison stays in the league gets a deal with
35:36
the Raiders now The question is what will the
35:38
split be between is Amir white and Alexander? Madison
35:41
or maybe they'll add another
35:43
person another back to this
35:45
room We have a projected with
35:48
Amir white pretty far ahead and a bunch of the
35:50
Antonio Pierce comments Make me
35:52
feel pretty good about that, but what do you think
35:54
about Madison to the Raiders and how that shakes out
35:56
for Zimir? Well, Antonio
35:58
Pierce was asked about Alexander Madison
36:01
and Harrison Bryant, specifically
36:03
Harrison Bryant, who
36:06
the Raiders signed to I believe one year deal only 1.5 million.
36:08
I might be a little bit
36:11
more away from the Browns of course I won
36:14
a Mackie Award and the response
36:16
was a resounding Harrison Bryant, Alexander
36:18
Madison are gonna be backups to
36:20
Michael Mayer and Zamir White. I
36:24
like Zamir White. I don't know what his ADP is
36:27
right now but I will plan
36:29
on being ahead of him in my
36:31
rankings. Zamir White ADP right
36:33
now is a hundred and third overall.
36:35
That is nice. I
36:39
do think it will come up as people start
36:41
to digest what the Raiders are doing
36:43
here and how valuable really that role was on
36:45
the Raiders last year. I mean running backs starting
36:47
right back for the Raiders was heavily involved in
36:50
the past game, heavily involved the
36:52
goal line and seeing volume of 20
36:54
plus touches so that included Zamir when
36:56
Jacobs was out. That included Jacobs not
36:58
having a very good year and especially
37:00
Antonio Pearson. He would talk about carry
37:03
numbers in his post-game press
37:05
conference like we want to
37:07
get this dude a certain number of carries. When
37:09
you can have that kind of accountability
37:12
and reliability from
37:14
your fantasy running back especially if we get
37:16
him at freaking number 100 overall. I mean
37:19
that would be really really nice. He should definitely be
37:21
in the top 75 right now. Alright
37:25
now we are going to do
37:28
whatever he wants. Everyone's lists, everyone's
37:31
rankings. We're gonna give that to you
37:33
now. I'm gonna start
37:35
with number 10 and go to number one
37:37
the biggest fantasy winners of the
37:39
free agency period. Drumroll please.
37:43
Number 10, Josh
37:46
Palmer and maybe, maybe
37:48
if he has any ability at all, Quentin Johnston
37:51
of course when you lose Keenan Allen and you
37:53
lose Mike Williams I do think the Chargers will
37:55
be very very run-heavy and it will not be
37:57
pretty and I think they're gonna add someone
37:59
but still. When you lose Michael Williams and Keenan
38:01
Allen, it opens up so many targets, Andrew Eldeverett
38:03
opens up so many targets, Josh Palmer
38:06
and Quentin Johnston, at the very least,
38:08
our volume beneficiaries right now. Number
38:11
nine, Curtis Samuel, talked about this
38:13
one already at the top, goes
38:16
from maybe the third option, from
38:18
a Sam Howell offense to
38:21
perhaps the 2B behind Dalton
38:23
Kincaid for Josh Allen, pretty
38:25
valuable boost there for
38:27
Curtis Samuel in projection. Number
38:30
eight, Zach Moss.
38:33
Of course, Zach Moss, Bengals made the decision, hey,
38:35
we prefer to have Zach Moss. Over to you,
38:37
Mixon, you're gonna head back to the episode that
38:39
we talked about that went on, I believe it
38:41
was two or three episodes ago. Can check out
38:43
more for our thoughts on Zach Moss. Number seven
38:45
is the guy we just talked about, Zameer
38:48
White, stepping into some form of
38:51
the Josh Jacobs role now is Zameer White.
38:53
By the way, if you go on
38:55
Twitter, and you search Zameer
38:57
White videos, there's some videos of him lifting weights.
38:59
I love watching these guys lift weights, man. This
39:02
guy was putting up some serious, serious
39:04
stuff. Number six, Christian
39:07
Kirk and Evan Ingram, Cal
39:09
Ridley is now gone, Gabe
39:11
Davis is in, clear out the
39:14
middle of the field for Christian Kirk and Evan Ingram. Number
39:17
five, George Pickens. If Russell Wilson
39:19
is the starter, at least on
39:21
paper, what George Pickens does
39:24
well and what Russell Wilson does well
39:26
really fits, and now Deontay Johnson is gone
39:28
also. So certainly a big win
39:31
there for George Pickens. Number
39:33
four, the big dog himself, Derek Henry,
39:35
I mean, Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry
39:37
in the same backfield, talked on a
39:39
previous episode about how we did not
39:41
think Derek Henry really lost the spot
39:44
or lost a step at all last year, I thought he
39:46
actually had a pretty good year did Derek Henry last year.
39:49
Number three, Josh Jacobs goes from Vegas
39:52
to this ascending Packers offense,
39:54
expecting them to have a really big role. They
39:56
did bring back AJ Dillon, but as
39:58
you saw last year, it's really hard for them. anyone
40:00
to rely on AJ Dillon. Number
40:02
two, Marquise Brown, who we
40:05
talked about on this episode with the
40:07
Rashid Rice and Travis Kelsey, fresh from our
40:09
homes now is Mr. Brown
40:11
and number one,
40:14
biggest fantasy winner of free agency,
40:17
Drake. London. And
40:19
maybe Kyle Pitts. If you think Kyle Pitts is
40:21
good, they will get the NFL's
40:23
biggest scheme change year over year.
40:25
Last year, the Falcons were dead
40:27
last, dead last in 11
40:30
personnel and three wide receiver personnel under Arthur Smith, just
40:32
29% of the time, which
40:34
is outrageously low under
40:36
Zach Robinson, the Rams last year, massive
40:40
89% of the time they were in three
40:42
wide receiver sets. Current 11 set is going
40:44
to be cousins, Bijon, London, Mooney, Rondale Moore,
40:46
and Kyle Pitts. I like
40:48
taking shots on all those guys, but Drake London
40:51
to me, he's been going like second or third
40:53
round. I don't think it's crazy to
40:55
take Drake London and the first round early
40:57
second round right now.
40:59
Super, super exciting. And then the Kyle Pitts
41:02
stuff. God, Evan,
41:04
you want to weigh in on the Kyle Pitts stuff. There's
41:06
an all out war going on in Slack right now about where
41:08
we should have Kyle Pitts ranked. There's
41:11
just so much to consider, you know, the
41:13
MCL, PCL injury. I
41:16
was listening to a Ross Tucker podcast recently
41:18
and he asked Greg to
41:20
sell his thoughts on Kyle Pitts, but Ross
41:23
wanted to energy. Ross does a lot of
41:25
sideline work before and after games. And
41:27
I mean, he knows all the coaches and a bunch
41:30
of the front office people. And he was at a, he was
41:32
doing a Falcons game and the, the, the
41:35
clear cut feeling was that, you
41:37
know, among Falcons personnel was that
41:39
Kyle Pitts was just not healthy.
41:42
And so that, but I mean, like how long
41:44
is that going to be the excuse number one?
41:46
And like, it's not like you had a recent
41:49
surgery to fix that. And we did have the
41:51
initial surgery to fix it. Like it
41:53
clearly didn't fix it. So I mean,
41:55
is his knee just shot? You know, there's
41:57
one scenario that I've thought about is. the
42:00
Falcons trading Kyle Pitts on draft day
42:03
and drafting Brock Bowers at
42:05
number eight overall. Brock Bowers of course played
42:08
at Georgia. That's just
42:10
something that has like crossed my mind. But,
42:12
you know, he
42:14
had the 1000 yard rookie season. He
42:18
hasn't been good the last two years, but he had to deal
42:20
with Arthur Smith and pour
42:22
quarterback play. I mean, there's just so many moving
42:24
parts here. So if
42:28
he's healthy, I think he'll be
42:30
used in a more conducive way. I mean,
42:32
his ADOT was so long last year. Meanwhile,
42:34
guys like LaPorta and Kelsey are getting these
42:36
like short layup targets constantly. Let's get him
42:38
a few of those. Cause, and we've
42:40
talked about this. I'm not sure he can win against defensive backs.
42:42
In fact, Kyle Pitts probably can't
42:44
win against cornerbacks. Get him against linebackers. Get
42:47
him against safety is not
42:49
cornerbacks. So I don't know, man. I
42:51
think a scheme change away from Arthur
42:53
Smith will
42:56
do wonders for Kyle Pitts. And I'm excited about him.
42:58
And he's not as expensive as he was. You know,
43:00
he's just, I'll check his ADP, but it's just right
43:02
now, it's just people have kind of had
43:04
enough. It was another thing
43:06
from the Kirk Cousins introductory press conference.
43:09
He said that he was talking to Kyle
43:11
Pitts because they were the same number. And
43:14
Kirk Cousins like, yo, I'll cut you a
43:16
check, whatever. You know, I just need that
43:18
number eight. And Kyle Pitts was like,
43:20
no, man, just throw me the ball. Like that's all
43:22
I care about. Just throw me the ball. Yeah,
43:25
Kyle Pitts going around 70th overall right now.
43:28
So it's not as, opportunity
43:31
cost is not as high, but yeah. Certainly a
43:33
lot to think about there on all the Falcons
43:35
stuff, but certainly feel great about
43:37
Drake, London right now.
43:40
All right, finally, finally, that is gonna
43:42
do it for our free agency coverage
43:45
