0:00We close out our final rankings week with the quarterbacks.
0:03I mean, this position is so freaking deep. A lot of strategy is involved here.
0:07Like, should you even draft up with your Josh Norris and Lamar Jacksons?
0:11And if not, there's some mid-round quarterbacks that really suit our fancy, that catch our eye.
0:15Or is it just as simple as someone falling and whoever falls is the one you should select?
0:21By the way, we really like Brock Purdy this year.
0:23I think he's a, you know, the most undervalued quarterback in drafts.
0:27But on top of that, every single year, there's a late-round quarterback that smashes.
0:31Last season, Drake May, Daniel Jones, and we give two or three of our favorites to finish they do that this year.
0:37So stick around for this episode of Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh and Hayden.
0:41Let's talk quarterbacks. I mean, I would say Hayden, the position has never been better than it is right now.
0:47That's probably not true, but at least it feels that way for fantasy football where you can go like 24 players deep with your starters.
0:54That makes Superflex incredibly intriguing this year. So this video is for single and double quarterback leagues out there.
0:59I'm going to just kick it off with Josh Allen at the number one spot for us.
1:04This whole conversation, this whole episode is also going to be a little bit of an offensive focus too, along with the individual players.
1:11And that makes sense with Josh Allen, where we think his offense is going to change quite a bit.
1:16Like since Joe Brady took over as the play caller, they've been 31st, 25th, and 30th in dropback rate.
1:22Now Joe Brady's probably going to have his influence on it without Sean McDermott telling him to run the football a bit more.
1:28And that might change Josh Allen scoring from maybe less rushing into more throwing, but that just still is going to make him the quarterback one of all.
1:36Yeah. He's been the top three quarterback in four straight seasons, finishing the quarterback one in three of those seasons.
1:42He's cleared almost 24 fantasy points per game in all of those seasons.
1:46So he's just been completely dominant. It doesn't matter which type of offense he's been playing in.
1:51He's been a downfield offense. He's been in this balance run first offense before.
1:54So it hasn't mattered when I run the math on him.
1:58Fantasy points over replacement per game in half PPR.
2:00He's finished as the 30th, 18th, 30th and 19th overall player.
2:03So that's the sweet spot. That's round three for me.
2:06But there are some indications like that. This could be one of his like better Josh Allen years.
2:11They're all awesome. But you add DJ more Dalton Kincaid's healthier.
2:14And you have the head coach is now like the guy that he's like best friends with.
2:19I could see this being like even more of like a let's just go all Josh Allen and maybe downgrade the James Cook rush attempts per game.
2:27Yeah. Most rushing yardage since 2022 for him. He is fifth year in a row of at least 500 rushing yards on the ground.
2:3414 rushing scores his third straight year with at least 12 rushing touchdowns.
2:37It's pretty cool. Pretty good. Pretty good. He's like the number one red zone quarterback in the NFL now, despite everyone still believing that's Jalen Hurts.
2:45It's now Josh Allen. I think the more interesting conversations where you should take him.
2:49So we have six people at Yahoo doing rankings.
2:52All of us. I think all of us have a great analysis.
2:55We're between 30th and 41st overall across the board.
2:58Boone, who always wins the rankings awards. He has them lowest at 41st and most of us have like at 30th overall.
3:04So that's the range. I'm 34. So I'm closer to the end of round three, but on a bunch of home platforms
3:10that you use, he's going to go in round two.
3:13We've talked about this before where I like the two V twos of like the wide receiver that you can get in
3:19round two and the quarterback you can get in round nine versus the quarterback.
3:23That you get in round two and the wider receiver that you get in round nine.
3:28Yep. Super deep this year, like beyond deep. Well, that brings us to Lamar Jackson as the quarterback too.
3:33And there's almost like a two round gap between these guys in drafts right now.
3:38Last year was just up and down. Like we know through four weeks, he had three top five scores and was the
3:44quarterback to overall scoring, but then he missed, you know, games with a hamstring injury and other things on top of it.
3:50When he returned, he was quarterback 29. And now he goes from Todd Munkin calling plays.
3:55You kind of open up this Lamar 2.0 to win another MVP.
3:58Yeah. I'm very fascinated to see what Declan Doyle does.
4:01Yeah. I think that Declan Doyle has probably the best chance of like kind of these new play callers, like him versus like David Blau.
4:08I'm starting to feel a lot better about like Declan Doyle and how everyone seems to be reporting that he's just the man.
4:15Um, and then with Lamar Jackson, like every single time he has a new play caller, like he wins like some type of award.
4:21So whether it's the Heisman trophy or MVP. So, uh, over the last couple of years, it's been Lamar and Josh Allen, then everybody else.
4:29And maybe someone like Jacoby lane makes the difference.
4:31Now, I think the one thing in the back of my mind with Lamar is this offensive line makes me really nervous.
4:37And I think like it hasn't been the best offensive line recently for like the last couple of years in Baltimore, where
4:44it was at one point, a big strong point, man, they have to like figure out center and they have a left
4:50guard who I think is awesome, but he's a rookie.
4:53Both tackles have been kind of in and out of the lineup before right guard isn't like a, a, an awesome player either.
4:59So that's like the one difference between Josh Allen Lamar is like, I think that the bills offensive line is like multiple tiers better than Baltimore's.
5:07Yeah. Now, if he plays like a top three quarterback this year, then Declan Doyle is going to be a head coach this time next year.
5:14You know, it really is that simple. Uh, one way of doing that is we've heard about it in preseason is the under center stuff.
5:21Uh, per reebs 33% of the Mars Jackson snaps were under center last year.
5:25And he led the NFL with a 75% completion rate while averaging 9.2 yards per attempt and league high 11.2 touchdown rate when under center.
5:32So yep. Is that just a small sample? Can we make that 50% or is this really cool?
5:37And we should lean into that even more. I remember for a long period of time, his numbers throwing over the middle
5:44and like deep middle, which is the most valuable part of the football field.
5:48Uh, he was by far the best quarterback at that type of stuff.
5:51So like the under center play action, like that's kind of where you're trying to target.
5:56Um, so doubling down on that part of it could like create a huge explosive season.
6:01And Lamar's been doing that since the Bobby Petrino days at, you know, Louisville on top of this.
6:06So, uh, that was very much a pro style offense and he's carried that stuff into the league.
6:11Okay. You have Joe Burrow as your quarterback three.
6:13This is where we slightly differ. Tell me why.
6:16Uh, I moved Jalen hurts ahead of him, but it's all in the same tier.
6:20Um, I was, I guess this is the order that it gave us.
6:24And I have Drake may as my quarterback three, I believe.
6:27And I think somehow some way our aggregation of quarterbacks is Joe Burrow as quarterback three, even though neither of us have him as quarterback three.
6:34This doesn't make any sense. Um, yeah, I'm trying to figure this out.
6:38Are you checking the numbers here in the backend?
6:41No, I must have Drake may like fifth or something.
6:44And Burrow is my four. It's yes. Overall rankings, 61, 61 and a half 62 for our average.
6:49So like it's the same player. And I think that's the difficult quarterbacks that I kind of end up with more often
6:55than the Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson territory. Okay. And you've been breaking that, uh, tie in favor of Drake may.
7:01Yes. Okay. Why don't you tell me why before we get to go?
7:04Okay. Then I'll just throw Drake may up there.
7:07We'll make this in a full blown conversation. I mean, what Drake may did last year in terms of explosives and scrambles
7:13is kind of exactly what we want out of the quarterback position.
7:17Uh, I mean on throws 20 plus yards or more down the field, he was third in completion rate with a leak
7:23high five touchdowns, uh, 30 plus yards. And then those targets were going to Matt Collins, Kayshaun booty and Stefan digs.
7:29And now he gets AJ Brown and Romeo Dobbs to do that too.
7:33Um, I mean, and he also led the NFL in scramble attempts last year was third and yards gained from scrambles had three touchdowns off scrambles.
7:40Um, he only had 20 design quarterback runs. Maybe they do that a bit more often and only through two seasons to
7:46design rushing attempts inside of the five yard line.
7:49That's it. Or he can do more of that.
7:51And we saw like Trevor Lawrence get way more of that last year.
7:55For example, Drake made that this is a untapped area of his game.
7:59So, um, there were some down post season things.
8:01And we can talk about that here in a moment.
8:04But the regular season was unbelievable for Drake. Yeah.
8:07Drake may is awesome. I think the AJ Brown stuff is just going to be a huge, huge win for him.
8:13And Romeo Dobbs, like a better, maybe safety blanket.
8:15I think Eli Raritan offers more than Austin Hooper.
8:18So there's a lot of ways that this environment is going to get better.
8:22There's more depth across the offensive line. Hopefully their left tackle will Campbell is healthier.
8:26This season does not have that horrific stint last year.
8:29So I think Drake may is going to fall out this year.
8:32I think for me, when it comes to the quarterbacks in this range, do I have AJ Brown or do I have
8:39T Higgins or do I have with Jalen Hurts?
8:41Do I have Devante Smith? So I think for the most part with within these tiers, it's, do I have their top receiver or not?
8:48It's kind of how I'm going into these drafts.
8:51Cause I think all these guys are so close together.
8:54Yeah. Um, maybe if I didn't have any of the receivers, I would go with Jalen Hurts first, uh, for me personally,
9:00because of how much of his game is built off the rushing attack.
9:04And, and I like Jalen Hurts this year because he's leaned out this year and it sounds like they're going to give him more design carries last year.
9:12They scaled back as design carries was not nearly averaging as many rushing yards as he typically does.
9:17It sounds like they're still going to do the tush push stuff.
9:20And then I would just like to see him with a competent offensive coordinator again, because whenever he has one, he's been a top three fantasy option.
9:28So I've been drafting Jalen Hurts of this group the most personally.
9:31And what's new about him is you can draft him first and then draft him Kyle and Dallas Goddard.
9:37Where typically both the pass catchers go ahead of Jalen Hurts, which made it a little bit harder to stack.
9:42On the rushing note, he had 3.3 design rushes per game last year, which was by far his lowest of his career.
9:49And then he only had eight carries from the one yard line and he only converted five of those for touchdowns last year.
9:55When in previously that was 15 and 13 in two previous years.
9:59Um, and also like he had one game last season where he scrambled a lot and it was really successful and they
10:05basically won the game because he scrambled. I remember all the other ones.
10:09He kind of looked like lethargic and slow and lumbering.
10:11And, but yeah, he has slimmed down and he did a GQ interview and all that type of stuff.
10:17So maybe that turned good on him. Yeah. I mean, they finished 19th in scoring last year.
10:22Uh, and they've been top 12 in scoring every other time that Jalen Hurts has been the quarterback.
10:27So fix the run game. It fixes everything else.
10:29Uh, okay. We do need to rewind and talk about Joe Burrow.
10:33Cause somehow, some way he is our quarterback here.
10:35I'll bring this up. Okay. I mean, with Jamar Chase and T Higgins on the field, the past two seasons, which is a huge number, that's 550 attempts.
10:43He's completed 72.3% of his passes for eight yards per attempt and a 7.3 touchdown rate.
10:48Like just be normal. Bengals. Let's have these guys play 14, 15, 16 games together.
10:52And if that happens, like Joe Burrow truly could finish as the top two or three or four quarterback this year.
10:58Yeah. I think he can easily win MVP this year.
11:01Like Bengals, I think are way more competitive than they have been previously.
11:05It seems like it's been a normal off season aside from there, like trying to implement more under center stuff, but they
11:11can abandon that if it's not working. I think that it will work to be honest.
11:16Um, and Joe Burrow is awesome. So like, there's almost like nothing to say.
11:20Like, I don't even know what I would bring to the table to say about Joe Burrow.
11:24Like, I think especially if you have Jim, I would say if you have Jamar Chase or T Higgins and he's available
11:31in the sixth round, you draft him. I think before that, it gets a little bit too risky to me because he's
11:37not going to have the rushing numbers that it typically takes to be a top two fantasy quarterback in the modern era.
11:43Um, like even like Tom Brady and a lot of the seasons would be like the tight end three or tight end
11:49four or the quarterback three or four. Um, so that's where like, you know, Lamar should go ahead of them because he
11:56has that nuclear season where Joe Burrow, it's, it would be the Matthew Stafford season from last year, which you can still finish the top five.
12:03Yeah. Rebs noted this, that over the past two seasons, Bengals games have averaged a league high 53 combined points per game.
12:09So a lot of people might say, Hey, with an improved defense, that means they won't put up as many points.
12:15I will add with a better defense that puts you in shorter fields.
12:19Yep. Easier, you know, areas to score points. Like for example, I think the Jaguar scored something like 122 points off of turnovers last season.
12:26Like, yeah. So often we just hear, Oh, you want the quarterbacks with bad defenses, that's from Hey, sometimes ones that create
12:32a bunch of turnovers and that it's not sticky year to year can also lead you to awesome fantasy seasons and shorter fields.
12:39The spot you want to avoid the most is when your defense can't stop the run, which like we've seen this with
12:45the Bengals in particular, where like it's just run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run touchdown.
12:51You're like, damn, there goes six minutes, eight minutes off the clock.
12:54And they gave up a touchdown. So, um, and there's no risk of turnovers.
12:58So like, that's, that's the spot that the Giants have been in.
13:02Yes. So like if your defense is giving up big explosives through the air, that's fine for fantasy.
13:07You just don't want like 10 straight run plays.
13:09And like, there goes the entire quarter. Okay. Jaden Daniels is our quarterback six.
13:13Um, it's one of those offenses I was excited for in June and less excited for now in early September.
13:19Uh, namely because of the Laramie Tunzel injury. And also the center has barely played football this preseason.
13:24We know Jaden Daniels rookie season. They actually played Brandon Coleman at left tackle.
13:28And that's who once again is doing this. Now that was a great fancy season for him.
13:33I will also say going back and watching all those games.
13:36That was really basic offense. You know, he excelled in it.
13:39He was fantastic. He took it to the next level, but we know that things got stale last year.
13:45So I don't know. Hopefully this is the team that makes my nerves stupid in preseason.
13:49Uh, but I actually think they're kind of warranted here.
13:52Yeah, I think they are warranted. They're just more risk for ruin here versus the other environments.
13:57Just like the skill groups, the offensive line, the, I'd also say mystery offensive coordinator, like just total, total mystery.
14:03So I just think there's more ways this one can go wrong.
14:06And at the same time, even when things are going wrong, if he's averaging 65 rushing yards per game, it doesn't matter.
14:12And sometimes that's kind of how the cookie crumbles where like it's a total shit show.
14:17And there he goes for another first down as a scramble and like it didn't matter.
14:22So I can only break ties against him. I can't like actually lower him in my like overall rankings.
14:27Like I'll throw Jalen hurts ahead of them now, but like, I'm not going to like throw him behind Dak Prescott and Justin Herbert.
14:34Like those guys just don't have the same upside as Jaden Daniels, even in a bad situation.
14:39He did post 5.7 rushing points per game last year, which was the quarterback five.
14:43So like there's your floor. And then he was also the quarterback five in points per game before he left.
14:49I mean, he only played 38% of snaps last year.
14:51I actually, and people might think this is crazy.
14:54I actually have Caleb Williams ahead of Jaden Daniels.
14:57That's not that crazy to me. There are obvious areas where Caleb Williams needs to improve.
15:01And yet he was still the quarterback eight in points per game last season.
15:05Like he had an accurate rate of 14.6, which was worst among 33 passers that qualified last year.
15:10Ben Johnson has, and that was again with a first time playing with Ben Johnson as his coordinator.
15:15And we know how it seemed like miserable last preseason was and training camp was that he just couldn't, they couldn't gel with it.
15:22And then still it was a very good season.
15:25So with that in mind, Ben Johnson has said, yeah, I want to have like the highest scoring offense of all time this year.
15:32And if they have the highest scoring offense of all time, Caleb Williams would be better than the quarterback seven.
15:37Yeah. And then, like you said, the second half of the season is when Caleb was like really starting to come on.
15:44So I like from week 12 on, he was on the field.
15:47That's when Colson Lovelland was on the field. All of it.
15:50Yes. Yeah. This team, the offensive line's awesome still.
15:53So I feel very good about Caleb Williams. And he can run more than he has been, than he's been tasked with as well.
15:59And speaking of bad defenses, the bears defenses, it's a tragedy.
16:03It's a tragedy. What's what's happening there? And that quarters and safety, there are a lot of no names out there right now.
16:09Nope. Nope. They're all banged up. They still can't rush the passer.
16:13They didn't fix that in the off season. And then, um, yeah, that's a good team for them to make the playoffs.
16:19They will have to be like top five ish in points this year.
16:23It's a stack division and, um, it'll be fun to watch though.
16:26Yeah. We disagree with like a lot of individual quarterbacks.
16:29Like, but I think we all have them in the same cluster and I'm kind of ranking them in clusters.
16:35Yes. Like they split up a tier break of wide receivers and running backs.
16:38And I'm like, okay, I would be happy to draft three or four of these quarterbacks in this area.
16:44Uh, and that brings us to Dak Prescott. Who's our quarterback eight.
16:47I mean, he's been a top eight score in points per game and five of his last six full seasons.
16:53Yeah. So I think Dak Prescott versus Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence kind of like the, the, that's the same type of quarterback, uh, more or less.
17:01And we love the coordinators. We love just the overall environments that these guys are in.
17:05And I just think Dak Prescott has done this for the longest as like a proven fancy commodity.
17:10So he's first on my list. That offensive line is all returning.
17:14The play callers are returning. The skill group is all returning.
17:17And he was awesome last year. And the Cowboys, one of those defenses where they could not stop the run for so
17:23much of the ball game that the game would like just disappear all of a sudden.
17:28And I think that's gotten there. And there's a great shot at them with this new coordinator to be league average at worst this season.
17:35I think the Cowboys can be the one seed this year to see it.
17:39Like this team is, I think very, very good.
17:41So in this grouping, you have Dak highest. I actually have Justin Herbert highest for a few reasons.
17:47I mean, the on-off splits with Joe Alt are incredible.
17:49They are truly incredible. Like again, Reeves' worksheet had this.
17:52Justin Herbert averaged 0.56 fancy points per drop back with Joe Alt on the field compared to 0.43 without him.
17:58That sounds small, but that's the difference between ranking as the quarterback 7 and the quarterback 21 in points per game on a weekly basis.
18:05And so that was Joe Alt really by himself with his offensive line.
18:09And so at worst, hopefully we have Rayshon Slater, hopefully, and Joe Alt.
18:12And then maybe the interior is a wash compared to what it was last year, you know?
18:17Yeah. Yes. I just don't want him running for his life than he was last year.
18:22He was hitting a league high 129 dropbacks. We know he broke his hand.
18:26We know he had rib injuries. We know he had all of it.
18:30I just think it's almost limitless potential with Justin Herbert in a Mike McDaniel passing game.
18:34Yeah. And then I think that I just trust McDaniel to like scheme around the offensive line and with either like quick
18:40hitting offense stuff or getting him out in the move a little bit more than what I thought last year.
18:46Last year was a very like traditional offense. So I think that'll help him out.
18:50The more you learn about Tua in this Falcons quarterback battle, the more you have to appreciate Mike McDaniel.
18:56And then like the upside case becomes more and more evident the more you learn about Tua away from Mike McDaniel.
19:02Tua had a quarterback five overall season in 2022 without rushing numbers.
19:05So that's the ceiling that you have with Justin Herbert, who's like obviously light years better than Tua is.
19:11It's not nearly as good as the same skill group as what Tua had during those seasons.
19:15But I think he belongs in the Dak Prescott tier.
19:18I just have Prescott. He's done this too many times.
19:21I think it's fair. Trevor Lawrence is next. I'm low-key worried about this offensive line.
19:25We talk about offensive lines all the time. I mean, 80% of it will be starting in new places.
19:31Anton Harrison is moving from right tackle to left tackle.
19:34Van Lannen has been injured most of camp and he's moving over to right tackle.
19:38He's played three positions, but you know, now be the start on that side to, you know, get pregnant on in at left guard.
19:45They're moving in someone else to the right side, so on and so forth.
19:49So yeah, that's the crux of everything with this team.
19:52And then also I brought this up that Jacksonville scored.
19:54It wasn't 120 points. It was 110 points off turnovers last year.
19:58And I doubt they repeat that. Yeah. And then Trevor also had all those goal line touchdowns, which he could repeat that.
20:04But some of those were beyond fluke. He maybe falls down and then runs for runs one in.
20:09And he's doing the big, yeah, there was some, there was some BS going on over there with the Trevor Lawrence rushing
20:16stuff, which I think will end up hurting him just a little bit, but he was the quarterback for last year.
20:21So, um, like this is why I'm a Trevor guy.
20:24Yeah. I, I have no reason to, to be betting against Trevor Lawrence with Liam Cohen.
20:29And, but this is why when we talk about the Josh Allen stuff, it's, it's not just what Josh Allen's going to do.
20:35It's within the context of how many other options there are in fantasy.
20:39We're halfway through this list of guys that I feel comfortable drafting.
20:43Like we're only halfway through with this. And Trevor is going in the seventh round, for example, on Yahoo.
20:48And that's earlier than he will go on other platforms out there.
20:51So I'm very comfortable, like you said, with Trevor Lawrence being my quarterback one.
20:55Uh, and he led all quarterbacks and fancy points scored inside the red zone last season.
21:00And it's a lot of what you talked about too, with the rushing, my favorite, actually value on the board.
21:06And maybe my ranking pushed him up here because he's my quarterback nine, but he's quarterback 11 for us as Brock Purdy.
21:12Um, he returned to the lineup in week 11.
21:14Then he went on to complete 70.6% of his passes, which was second best average 7.5 yards per attempt, eighth best, and
21:21posted a 7.6 touch on rate, which was second best.
21:24Was he throwing to anyone good? No. Anyone? Uh, did he have offensive line injuries in front of him?
21:29Yep. He also completed a leak high 61% of his passes, 10 plus yards on the field.
21:34The second time he's led the league in that.
21:36And over the past three years, he's been quarterback eight, 12 and six in points per game.
21:41And you're able to get him as the quarterback 11 at worst, you know?
21:45Yep. Sometimes it's quarterback 13 and these other platforms too.
21:48Yeah. I mean, last year was like the gangster season for Brock Purdy because nothing was going his way.
21:53And he still was a quarterback six and fancy points.
21:56So that was like a stamp for Brock Purdy.
21:59He's that's an awesome, awesome season that he had.
22:01It could get better this year. I think the biggest difference between the two seasons is one is now everyone's another year older.
22:08Uh, uh, and last year's schedule was a complete joke.
22:11This schedule is pretty difficult. But, you know, that's why you go from quarterback six to quarterback 10 and no one complains
22:17and we're on to the next one. And if we're talking about stacking, I mean, you know, I get Sean's dribbling in every single league.
22:24And so it's easy to stack here with Brock Purdy.
22:27Okay. Bo Nix is next up for us. Um, he's been the quarterback 10 and eight and fancy points per game to open his career.
22:34Again, you can get him as the quarterback 11 plus in drafts.
22:38I mean, it's crazy. It's crazy. And now he gets Jalen Waddle on top of it.
22:42Yes. Top 10 quarterback and back-to-back years to start his career.
22:45Very difficult to do. Add Jalen Waddle goes after.
22:48And guess what? I can't even say I'm better than this.
22:51I probably rank him as my quarterback 10 or 11.
22:54Like, this is how every one of these quarterbacks, we're like, he was better than this.
22:58And I rank him lower. Like, we're going to do this the entire episode.
23:02Like, this is, this is why you have to wait on the position.
23:06Well, I mean, Matthew Stafford's a perfect example of that.
23:09He won the MVP. He won the MVP. Finishes as a top four quarterback.
23:13In scoring. And here he sits as quarterback 13 for us.
23:16And in consensus, he's quarterback 16. You know? I mean, yeah.
23:19It's a very difficult podcast to do because, like, all these guys are awesome.
23:23You guys should just stack. Pick the quarterback for the guys that you've been drafting the most on that particular team.
23:29Draft whoever's falling. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah.
23:32Matthew Stafford could easily throw for 44 touchdowns again this year.
23:35Like, no one would be surprised by that at all.
23:38And he's going as a quarterback too. It's almost a feeling I get in drafts where I'm staring at the board and
23:44it's like, okay, I don't like any of these other wide receivers or running backs.
23:48So, I'm going to take a look at the quarterback spot and then take someone I feel good about.
23:54Like, in the expert league that we did, that was when, you know, it was like DK Metcalf at wide receiver.
24:00And I was like, okay, I'll take the quarterback here now.
24:03For other people that might be, you know, when it's Chris Godwin at the wide receiver board or, you know, Jonathan Brooks at the running back position.
24:10It's like, okay, now I'll take my quarterback. Just one thing, why we talk about under center play action so much.
24:16On under center play action last year, Matthew Stafford threw 20 touchdowns and one interception.
24:21He probably was looking at the receiver on like only 16 of those.
24:24And he probably had four no look play action over the middle passes for touchdowns last year.
24:29He was unconscious. Okay. One of your big stands at quarterback though this year is Jordan Love.
24:34He's consensus quarterback 18 and he's quarterback 14 here.
24:37Yeah. So, this is like the tier now that I'm where I'm drafting these guys.
24:41So, it's Jordan Love's. It's Kyler Murray's. I'll do two of this tier because now we're into the range where we're talking
24:47pure backup handcuff running backs or wide receivers that I just don't trust at all.
24:51So, this is where my entire starting lineup has been filled up.
24:55I have a bench player at running back and wide receiver.
24:58And then you enter the Jordan Love kind of tier of players.
25:01Jordan Love is, first of all, he's been a top 12 fantasy quarterback before.
25:05This is an offense that's always extremely efficient. It's always just about the past attempts.
25:10And over the last couple of years, they've been dead last in neutral pass rate and neutral pace.
25:15And I think that was a Josh Jacobs stat.
25:17They, at one point, had a good offensive line and they had question marks and a lot of youth out with the skill group.
25:24Now, we can just flip that. Now, they have experience in the skill group.
25:28Their offensive line's bad. And Josh Jacobs might have to go to jail.
25:32So, I think they're going to pass the ball a whole lot more.
25:36They're going to play with more pacing. And then I think that Jordan Love's numbers.
25:40He doesn't have to be more efficient. He just has to drop back more.
25:44Micah Parsons is out. The entire division is completely loaded.
25:47I can easily see Jordan Love having his best career numbers across the board this year.
25:51And I think that it's really easy to stack his team up with Christian Watson.
25:56I draft a lot of Matthew Golden. You can like Tucker Craft and Jaden Reed.
26:00So, it's pretty rare when all three of your wide receivers go ahead and your tight end.
26:05And then you're the quarterback that goes after all of them.
26:08Like, how does that... Like, that doesn't make any sense to me.
26:11So, he's probably a good pick. So, if we're ranking a bunch of these guys ahead of consensus, that means one has to fall.
26:18And it's your beloved Jackson Dart. I mean, I thought I'd be much different than you on this.
26:23But he's my quarterback 15. And here he stands as our quarterback 15.
26:27I mean, the numbers last year, you can bring them up.
26:30But they don't necessarily apply here because it's new players.
26:33It's Malik Nabors on the field. It's, you know, new people calling the plays.
26:37But 42.5% of his fantasy points last year were via rushing.
26:40The only player that had a higher percentage than that was Justin Fields.
26:44Yes. Now, that was because he only had tight ends to throw the football to and not even great tight ends.
26:50So, it should be a big difference that Malik Nabors and Isaiah likely bring to this team.
26:55Yeah. So, I think he's just going to get squeezed for the reason that you just mentioned.
26:59I don't think he's going to run as often.
27:02And I think that's just going to make him have to get there with more passing volume.
27:07And I think that he is going to be able to do that.
27:10I think that he's a better passer than other people getting credit for.
27:14I think he's plays with good touch. But last year, it was just like a complete, like, just shit show surrounding.
27:20He was second most EPA on the ground, only behind Josh Allen.
27:24He was still 13th in EPA per play, 17th in success rate.
27:27But a lot of that was just the rushing stuff.
27:30He was also first in passer rating on plays excluding the first read.
27:34So, when he's out in the scramble drill and stuff, he can make those plays work.
27:38Hopefully, the first read stuff gets settled down with Malik Nabors and Isaiah likely.
27:42And if that's the case, he can out-produce this.
27:45I would just be fading that he's just going to be quite as good as a rushing threat as he was last year.
27:51And I think that would be smart for the Giants to get him a little bit more calmed down.
27:57Yeah. Dayball would call design stuff near the goal line.
27:59I don't think they're going to do that as often.
28:02And I think that they've tried to hammer in his head, like, hey, just scramble less.
28:07Yes. Yep. Okay. It wouldn't shock me at all if Kyler Murray jumps up a tier if he has a great season.
28:13That's what is going to happen. He could also have a poor season.
28:17So, we're almost middle grounding this, I think, as the quarterback 17.
28:20He's my highest drafted quarterback. Just like on how many teams I have him, he's the one I draft the most.
28:26How do you feel about that? Fantastic. I love Kyler Murray.
28:29I think Kyler Murray is going to be, you know, he's frustrating.
28:33But when the surroundings are awesome, that he can have awesome seasons.
28:36So, I think he's like the perfect example of like bold predictions.
28:40Like, Kyler Murray, comeback player of the year. We just wrote something up on Yahoo.
28:44And I had Kevin O'Connell as coach of the year.
28:47Like, it's stuff like that where the Vikings are just going to get red hot if Kyler Murray has a season I think he can have.
28:54It's one of the best offensive lines he's ever played with.
28:57Both tackles are good. First round guard. You have Kevin O'Connell, Jordan Addison, Justin Jefferson, Hawkinson.
29:02It's just way better than what he's been dealing with previously.
29:05And I think he's going to figure it out.
29:08Plus, he's going to run more. I think we're going to have a good idea after the first three weeks.
29:13If he's comfortable, if he's standing in there, you know, trusting the environment, trusting that primary, trusting the tight window throws.
29:19Or is he like trying to find space to throw to?
29:22So, it'll be interesting. I'm really excited to watch him.
29:25Yeah, I think the Vikings are like one of the teams that want to watch the most this year.
29:31Like the Bears and the Vikings are definitely up there.
29:33I'm also curious, is Kevin O'Connell going to do anything now that he has an athletic quarterback?
29:38He's never really had like an athletic quarterback going into here.
29:41Other than Josh Dobbs in that like three games.
29:44Off the plane. And that was one of the coolest games ever.
29:47Okay, Jared Goff is our quarterback 17. He was the quarterback 12th in points per game last year.
29:52That was when, you know, his play caller got fired halfway through.
29:56He is though, I mean, there's a reason why we have all these other names ahead of him.
30:01And especially like the two previous and Dart and Murray, because they're going to offer some rushing.
30:06Jared Goff, he literally has to have like a Matthew Stafford-esque season for him to be a top seven quarterback.
30:12And that's in the range of outcomes here, but it's just the lack of rushing compared to a bunch of the other athletic quarterbacks we have.
30:19Yes, but I think he's very firmly on the table of having MVP season.
30:23That's the hard part about this. And I'm okay with him as the quarterback if I'm waiting for the entire time.
30:29You know, I know what I'm getting from him no matter what.
30:32But three straight seasons, he's finished second in passing yards.
30:35So it's literally only about the passing touchdowns. And you mentioned it, they're supposed to score all those points.
30:41They're favored in what, 14 games or 14 dome games.
30:43And, you know, like the defense stings. Like he could easily have a like 5,000 yard season with 44 touchdowns.
30:49And like all of a sudden we're like, is Jared Goff the MVP of the league?
30:54Like how did, how did we let this happen?
30:56But I think like that type of scenario, like is, is within the range of outcomes.
31:01So I think you should draft him. They have a bunch of injuries on defense open season too.
31:06So that's one to watch with some explosives being allowed.
31:09Okay. I have Patrick Mahomes as my quarterback 13, but between us, he's quarterback 18.
31:13This is interesting. I mean, he finishes the quarterback forward and points per game last year.
31:18Now a big part of that was 25% of his fantasy points came via rushing and he tore his ACL.
31:23So that's not going to happen again, but I can also paint a picture of, Hey, can walk to the third just
31:30makes the passing game easier for him. And he finally can connect on these downfield throws.
31:34You know, he was 11th in the league last year and 20 plus yards on the field.
31:39But again, he was 23rd in the completion rate of those.
31:42So I don't know. I don't want to be flat out fading the maybe greatest talent quarterback that we have other than Josh Allen.
31:49I don't want to be doing it either. I guess I have to do it.
31:53Um, from 2023 until he tore his ACL, the chiefs were 16th in points per game.
31:58You know, I think he's not going to run as much on the beginning.
32:02One's expecting that. And then I just still have worries about the tackle spot, um, and the receivers.
32:07So my homes could easily do it. You know, I just don't draft any rushy rice.
32:11I don't feel like I have to drag Patrick Mahomes up the board.
32:15That's a lot of Xavier worthy. Yeah. But that's usually kind of after where Patrick Mahomes is being drafted.
32:21I draft a lot of, you know, I draft a lot of Xavier worthy on my Kyler Murray teams.
32:26It's kind of that situation. Yeah. If you want to draft Patrick Mahomes, I'm not going to disagree with it.
32:32I just think that we're in, this can be like, I think a transition year as they kind of figure out what
32:38the future of this offense is going to be.
32:41And I just still don't think they have the wide receiver talent slash the, they have some real offensive tackle concerns.
32:47That makes me look a little bit nervous. Yeah.
32:49I think they might be starting like a seventh round or undrafted guy along their offensive line too.
32:54And there's seven problems. Jalen Moore inside maybe. Yeah.
32:57But even their left tackle, there's still just some oddities with him.
33:00They know his back sore because he's putting on more weight because he's coming in light.
33:05And there's, there's some weird stuff going on. Let's talk Baker Mayfield.
33:08Tale of two seasons for him. Red hot. The ball going through defenders hands for a long touchdown.
33:13So he met at Buka escaping sacks at a ridiculous rate.
33:16Uh, and then he gets banged up and it all kind of crumbles after that.
33:21Yeah. It's interesting. You know, he has great seasons with Liam Cohen, obviously Dave Canales before that.
33:26Then an off and on season last year with Josh Grizzard.
33:29And then now we get Zach Robinson. So you have like two guys that get head coaching jobs, one who gets fired after one season.
33:36And so like, what is the outcome going to be here with Zach Robinson?
33:40Yeah. I think Zach Robinson is probably, I would say better offensive coordinator.
33:43Um, and Baker Mayfield last year, he was still the quarterback 18 per game.
33:47And that was when the offensive line was like completely banged up.
33:51Like this, like going into the year, like a lot of people have the bucks, the best offensive line in the NFL.
33:57So, you know, we're drafting him where he finished last year when the offensive line was.
34:02Banged up. I think the hard part is what level of Chris Godwin are we getting?
34:06Cause last year was not a good version of Chris Godwin.
34:09And then is a Mecca Buka like a star receiver or is he banged up and kind of plateaus this year?
34:15And then all of a sudden, like he doesn't have the weaponry to like fully get help.
34:20So I think that's to me, the bigger concern.
34:23Malik Willis is our quarterback 20 ahead of a bunch of other names.
34:26I'll continue saying it that the rushing that he brings is the floor and the passing is the ceiling.
34:32I already think that some of his passing work is a bit underappreciated just in terms of sticking in the pocket and
34:38scanning the field and firing down the field. Um, but we'll see if he has enough pass catchers and then especially enough
34:44of a good defense to like keep them competitive in games.
34:48But, uh, Malik Willis and super flex. Hell yeah, give it to me.
34:51I'm in a super flex draft with your favorite fantasy analyst and I'm the last to draft a quarterback.
34:57And I got Malik Willis after going with four like studs at other positions as my quarterback one.
35:02Um, we'll see if that works out. I think he's got plenty of upside here and they don't have a backup quarterback.
35:08So I think that people are overstating his bench risk odds.
35:11And if you guys are playing for redraft, even if he gets benched in week 10, like you would have the information by then to make another move.
35:19So pure upside over the last three seasons, 159 plays.
35:22He is the quarterback one and EPA per play quarterback one in completion percentage over expected quarterback 11 and success rate out of 79 qualifiers.
35:29Those are passing numbers. And then as a rusher, he's top five in the league.
35:33No doubt about it. Complete freak more like he's well-built.
35:36So you can do a lot of like the red zone stuff with him.
35:40Um, but he's also like, I'm going to say he's just as fast as Jaden Lamar, but he is extremely fast in a straight line.
35:47So it's like better than like the Jackson dart tier of player, like as a scrambler.
35:52So you're going to get some crazy numbers from, from while he doesn't have, you know, a big cap hit, I believe
35:58next year in terms of guaranteed money, I still would be surprised that they're like, oh yeah, let's go with XYZ quarterback
36:04that we traded for to be our starter at some point this year.
36:08I mean, it might, I will say because everyone assumes that Malik Willis is just going to suck this year.
36:14Like, I don't think that like we should be assumed that he's just going to be a terrible quarterback.
36:19Like they, like there's some proof of concept with him.
36:22Um, so next Tyler shock started about halfway through last season.
36:25They drafted Jordan Tyson to hopefully take this offense to the next level.
36:29Jordan Tyson will miss at least the first six games.
36:32It sounds like, uh, and so now we're back to Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson on an offense.
36:37That's going to run the most plays in the NFL behind a good offensive line.
36:41Good offensive line. I like that. He had, um, he was the leader in yards per attempt on plays, excluding his first read.
36:48You go kind of watch those plays. He's willing to like get through his progression, throw the ball over the middle, which I just appreciate.
36:55I think that's like pretty, like, you know, it's like a veteran type of rookie season for him considering his age.
37:01Not that surprising there. Uh, and then he surprised, uh, was the Buccaneers for like three explosives on the ground.
37:07Um, kind of clustered those ones together, but he, he reminds me of Ryan.
37:11Tannehill. Um, and I think it's a kind of exciting offense.
37:14The skill group is still pretty, I mean, pretty rough shape, uh, without Jordan Tyson.
37:18Um, versus Devin Neal today. Hayden. Did they? Dang.
37:20They cut Devin Neal today. What can you do?
37:23What can you do? Uh. Pride of Kansas. He was fun.
37:26All right. Let's throw in CJ Stroud up next as our quarterback 22.
37:30I mean, we had that great rookie season. That was with Bobby Sloak.
37:34That was extra protection. They were red hot in terms of Nico Collins and tank Dell and even Noah Brown.
37:39And then ever since then, like you talked about looking at the, you know, offensive line rankings.
37:44I think Mike Clay just put something out and had the Texans at like 31st.
37:48Um, I agree. And that's kind of the key to all of this.
37:52Like Nico Collins is great. Uh, they just lost Jaden Higgins, which is a huge deal.
37:57And then, you know, CJ Stroud is coming off a disastrous post season on top of it.
38:01So this is one that like, I want them to hit it red hot from the start.
38:06And if it does, then we could be in for a really fun season.
38:10And if it doesn't, then like the storyline continues.
38:13Yeah. He's just one of these guys for fantasy purposes, just never gonna fully get there.
38:17Looking back to 2023 was his big year. He was the quarterback 14 and he averaged.
38:22He's just not a big quarterback. Yes, exactly. He's just not going to run around enough.
38:27And the Texans are never going to ask him to do a whole lot because their defense is elite.
38:32And, you know, they always want to play conservative ball with him.
38:35So I think he's gonna have a better season for the Texans and not going to be relevant for, for fantasy and,
38:42uh, losing Jaden Higgins, I do think was a big deal, but I think that, I think Nico Collins can go absolutely crazy this year.
38:49And Stroud will be better for Nico Collins. I just don't think he's going to get there himself.
38:54Okay. Next we have Sam Darnold and it's interesting.
38:56Like, I don't think, sorry, Seahawks fans, that they're going to repeat as Superbowl champions.
39:01Um, and even when the Seahawks were Superbowl champions, Sam Darnold finished as the quarterback 27 in points per game.
39:06So yes, he might throw more, but this is another one of those.
39:10You don't get big win upside here. Yeah. It's the same conversation with Stroud.
39:14I think Sam Darnold ran really hot last year, throwing the ball down the football field.
39:19We've seen Stroud do that for a season. Then it kind of regresses.
39:22The defense is always awesome. And then you don't have to throw the ball that many times because you're in close games and low scoring games.
39:30Um, uh, so yeah, Sam Darnold next to Seahawks.
39:32Stroud makes all the sense in the world to me.
39:35Okay. I have Daniel Jones quite high. I am buying that Daniel Jones looks better than any of us could have anticipated in April or May or June.
39:43He was the quarterback seven in 13 full games that he played last year.
39:47Now that offense is also like the number one scoring offense in the league, but I could easily see Daniel Jones, who
39:53is the consensus quarterback 24, um, finish as like the quarterback 14 this year.
39:57I like it. I, I, if we're doing super flex, he's like kind of the last one I'm going with and feeling
40:04a bit better than a lot of people that would also end up with Daniel Jones feeling in that Malik Willis team, my quarterback too is Daniel Jones.
40:12So I like this. I like this. Uh, that's like doing the absolute least you can do in super flex is those two.
40:18I think the offensive line is fine. Right. And I think Shane Sykin is really good at his job.
40:24And you have Jonathan Taylor to, you know, to maintain stuff.
40:27And then I think Tyler Warren is quite good.
40:29Yeah. And Alec Pierce seems like he's destined to play in week one.
40:33And so with that group, if Daniel Jones apparently is super human recovering ability, like I'm not asking him to do what he did last year.
40:40I'm asking him to do like half of what he did last year.
40:44Yeah. And I mean, last year he had 12 rushing yards per game.
40:48It's not like that. He was like getting home because he was just running like he was as a rookie.
40:54So, uh, I think it's a good call, but I didn't, I didn't, I didn't move him up.
40:59It's just one of those where we find certain play callers that are really good.
41:03Um, have a nice fit with quarterbacks that are kind of like point and shoot passers.
41:07And I feel like Daniel Jones is the point and shoot player that Shane Sykin just wants to utilize on the field.
41:14You know, not asking him to do too much more.
41:17And it's like, Hey, here's your answer. Pre-snap based on this coverage.
41:20If they change it post-snap, here's your answer. He says, yes, sir.
41:23And he rifles it in there. Yep. Yep. But are you biased because you met the man you shook his hand?
41:29Um, that video never came out. Be careful. That video never came out.
41:33Let's put it that way. Uh, Bryce Young's up next.
41:36Uh, Hey, I don't think the Panthers are going to have a great season.
41:40Really? Yeah, I agree. I agree. I mean, the opening of training camp after day one, when you have a new starter
41:46at left tackle, a new starter at right tackle and your edge two goes down all on by that in that first day is pretty rough.
41:54Um, I mean, it's asking Monroe Freeling to like switch from the left side to the right side and he might be able to do it.
42:01There's going to be some growing pains on top of that.
42:04Uh, and then, you know, Rasheed Walker got no money from anyone to play the left tackle spot.
42:09And then they had a ton of injuries along the interior of the offensive line last year too.
42:14Yeah. Freeling people were like, can you just play the position he played?
42:18Cause he barely played in college. Like now you're asking him to change positions on top of it.
42:23It's asking. And I think Freeling is going to be awesome.
42:26Like he is a prototype, but this is a huge ask for him to immediately start on the right side.
42:32He was somebody that you're like drafting him because in three, four years from now you have a finished product.
42:38Like this year is like, you change positions. You're at, you're asking for too much.
42:42Um, Bryce has had moments where he's ran around and then had some big plays in fourth quarters where he's like been
42:48able to get home as a quarterback too. He's going to have to do that a lot.
42:53Like he's going to have to put on like that superhero cape in second half of games and like throw the ball, like pinpoint accuracy to the sideline.
43:01Uh, you're gonna need a lot more of that from, from Bryce.
43:05The defense is probably gonna be a little bit better than where at one point it completely had bottomed out.
43:10It's like, maybe that helps them. The division's still bad.
43:13So I don't see like the true upside case, like the turn, turn your career around type of season this year.
43:19I just don't think it's going to happen. Well, they can't rely on second half comebacks like they did last season.
43:25And you know, the defense is part of that too, but it's also starting hot on offense and you know, they switch
43:31play callers from Canales to Brad Edzik and just throw the football down the field more often the first eight, nine weeks of the season.
43:38We talked about that last year when they finally did it last year, good things happen too.
43:43Um, I also think having Jalen Coke in the first half of the season is going to be big.
43:49Like that, that, that should help. They really didn't get them until about week eight, week nine of last year too.
43:55And team Mac and Coker is a good tandem.
43:57Okay. Cam Ward. What do you want to say about Cam Ward as our quarterback 26?
44:02Hopefully everything in August was wrong. Um, I mean, just last year as well.
44:06Um, I also think the context of like what he was as a prospect, I think still matters here because I really
44:12did enjoy him as a prospect, but I think both of us did feel squeamish like, uh, like how could this go wrong?
44:19It's like pretty easy as how, how, how this can go wrong.
44:22Um, and like, that's kind of what happened last year and what's continued to happen in training camp.
44:27The skill group is a lot better. Wandale as a safety valves better than what they had in the slot last year.
44:33And then obviously Cardinal Tate and plus Calvin really missed most of the season last year.
44:38He's out there. So I think the skill groups a lot better.
44:41I just don't think the offensive line is actually better.
44:44And I think that was a big problem with Cam Ward.
44:47He's very lackadaisical and what the offensive line that causes like huge, huge turnover.
44:51So I can just like inescapable. Um, at the same time, like he does have theoretical upside.
44:56I think he can play like a style of like Jordan love, like kind of a fun, just air it out quarterback.
45:02I just don't think that that's what day ball is trying to get out of him.
45:07Like, it seems like he's trying to, I don't know what day ball is trying to do.
45:12Yeah. Um, I mean, that part makes me nervous.
45:14The fit. If August is any indication, this is like maybe the final year we get Brian day ball as a play caller in the NFL.
45:22So we'll see BPR scam. One Dale Robinson, uh, Fernando Mendoza isn't starting week one, but we have him higher than a bunch of other quarterbacks.
45:29They're going to start week one. Yeah. I think he's going to start week six.
45:33That's gonna be my guess. I think it's the two home games after playing in new England.
45:38I think that's going to be my, where I'm drawing the line this year for Fernando.
45:43Fernando's got real tools. He can throw the ball to the sideline down the field and then he can also run people over.
45:49Um, so I think that there's a little bit more fantasy appeal than people would kind of give him credit for.
45:55Like, this is not Jared Goff. This is like a different style.
45:59He's closer to like Trevor Lawrence to me. Um, and I think he's going to play a lot of games.
46:05And I think that Clint could be a competent coordinator.
46:07So I wouldn't be surprised in the back half of the year.
46:11He's the quarterback 17. That does anything for anybody?
46:13Uh, let's talk Gino Smith and the New York jets.
46:16Okay. They're scheduled to open the season is the Tennessee Titans.
46:19And then they also get the lions defense in week three and sandwiched between there.
46:24They get the Packers without Micah Parsons. So like, I like it.
46:27Maybe we have a little nice start here for Gino Smith.
46:30If Frank Reich has kind of like found this calendar and knows it's 2026.
46:34Uh, but there's enough skill talent here and especially offensive line for Gino to have a bounce back year.
46:40He should. Yeah. One of the best young tackle duos in the league.
46:43And then you are three deep at wide receiver and you're too deep at tight end.
46:48And you got breeze hall. And I think Braylon Allen's a better backup than others.
46:52So like there's really not no excuses here except, you know, it's, it's Frank Reich.
46:56Um, Gino Smith last year was throwing the ball directly to linebackers without checking coverages.
47:01Yeah. It was not, he had not done that before.
47:03Uh, he would take risk in previous years, but last year he was just like Yolo balling it.
47:09Uh, I hope that was a chip Kelly thing and that he has not forgotten how to play football all of a sudden.
47:15But the Jets are a situation where they don't have like a clear cut backup.
47:19Like Clay, uh, uh, what's his name? Um, Kludenik.
47:22Kade Clubnick. Kade Clubnick. Gosh. It's like one of your grooms guys.
47:25Yeah, it really was. Um, I think Gino's going to play for most of the season.
47:30So of the guys we're going to get to next, I feel like he's going to play the most of the season.
47:36Somehow in the experts draft, I wound up with both DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr.
47:41on my team. I noticed. So that was not my plan.
47:44Uh, I'm just hoping one of them emerges and I can dump the other one, but, uh, I am really rooting for Aaron Rogers now this season.
47:52Yeah. Uh, I wish you the best. I can't say I'm joining you on that train.
47:56I mean, I think Aaron Rogers is just like playing a different brand of football than literally the rest of the NFL.
48:02Um, it was not my favorite offense to watch last year.
48:06No, it was brutal. I mean, he had the lowest ADOT in the league.
48:10He can't throw it on the field. He, the only upside is, Hey, we got rid of broader drums, you know, and
48:16we have a new tackle on top of this.
48:18And then hopefully he and Michael McCarthy can find the time machine and dial it back seven years.
48:23But if you remember, and Craig Roosevelt was pointing this out, like the last couple of years of the McCarthy thing was like, that wasn't working out either.
48:31Like he wasn't working in the middle of the field.
48:34Yeah. He, he stopped playing like Rogers. He seems moody.
48:37It was slant flat, slant flat over and over and over again.
48:41Yeah. So we'll see. We'll see. I don't know.
48:43I mean, yeah. Okay. Uh, to close this thing out, got three more and Jacoby Brissette higher, lower six and a hearts for Jacoby Brissette.
48:50I'll go higher than that. Um, I would set it at nine and a half, but it's not going to be pretty.
48:57They're gonna have to upset some teams. Like if they're two and seven, then you pull the, you pull it.
49:02But if they're Owen nine, cause I remember that what he was last year.
49:06Was he? Cause I think he's already starting a streak where they did not win a game for like nine straight.
49:12So like if you lose another five and we're like, okay, as a team, we're Owen 14 with Jacoby.
49:18I'll say this. If I knew I was getting 17 games out of Jacoby Brissette, I would rank him, uh, right next to Daniel Jones.
49:25Yeah. I think that's totally fair. He was putting up some, he was putting up some numbers.
49:30I wish we got seven and I would be drafting all Cardinals higher if I knew I was getting 17 games at Jacoby Brissette.
49:36Uh, cause he was fun. Yeah. He was very fun last year.
49:40You know, we're getting Minshew and then Carson Beck and then we don't know what we're doing.
49:45Right. Yeah. Um, I'm not going to put him on the board because you know, uh, but we have the Falcons quarterbacks next.
49:51It seems like to have played himself out of even for certain being the quarterback one to open the season, which is crazy.
49:58Cause Michael Pinnock says barely practice. He hasn't played a single preseason snap on top of it.
50:03Right. Yeah. Uh, that's horrible. And we as salt, Michael Pinnock has been so far in his career and it's big downfield plays.
50:09If you confuse him at all post snap, he kind of throws it directly into your stomach.
50:14Wasn't my favorite prospect has not, I've not changed my tune, but I think he's going to play most of the season.
50:20Um, yeah. To a loss to job. He's like anti Kevin Stefanski.
50:24I agree with that. Stefanski wants the, you know, Dylan Gabriel to, uh, Hey, I'm going to point and shoot in the direction.
50:30Meanwhile, Michael Pinnock's, I'm not talking about like a freelancer in terms of moving, but he just wants these big shot plays down the field.
50:37And it sometimes doesn't have a lot of timing to it.
50:40Uh, and then that was also an ACL ago.
50:43I remember we were debating, people were debating like if he threw an interception, if he was trying to throw the ball
50:49with arc or if it was right at somebody and like, we had like some big debate and it was like, I
50:56think he was just like, I think he would just threw the ball about eight yards away from where he was trying
51:02to throw the ball to like his when he misses, he misses.
51:05That was an incredible tight window throw to Drake London.
51:08And it went through like three players and you go back and watch.
51:12You're like, actually, he was probably trying to throw to someone else.
51:15Yeah. That was to Darnell Moody. I'm like, no, like that, that was not even to him.
51:20Uh, he has those moments. Yeah. And then we have the Browns.
51:23Um, Deshaun Watson's opening the season. Uh, you know, maybe he's looked better to some people, but then I watch him dirt
51:30a pass with Casey Concepcion five yards in front of him.
51:33That would have gone for 15 plus yards. And, uh, I don't want to watch them play.
51:38Everyone's going to play, you know, there's going to be four quarterbacks at play here.
51:42None of them, none of them are really fantasy relevant.
51:45They each can get pulled in the middle of the game.
51:48I think Shador's no good. I think Deshaun's no good.
51:51Yeah. If we're doing again, um, super flex stuff, I wouldn't draft anyone on the Browns.
51:55I wouldn't draft anyone on the Falcons here. In fact, I think like that undrafted guy from the Falcons might get a start this season.
52:02As crazy as that sounds. I think Penix is draftable and super flex because I think he's going to get most of the season.
52:09Um, but I think I would take like Kirk cousins over the Browns guys.
52:13Like six games of Kirk cousins. Like I think that's going to be more valuable over the Browns guys.
52:19Easily the Browns. It's the worst situation of the bunch, which is saying something for the best situation of the bunch.
52:25Thanks for tuning in this week for our ultimate ranking series.
52:28Plus we did a rookie video on top of it.
52:31Hopefully you're prepared for your drafts this weekend. Uh, and we kick things off on Monday, Monday.
52:36It's Joel Smith and I for waivers this season.
52:38And we'll have a new episode ahead of week one for you just so you can switch up the team that you just drafted.
52:45Uh, talk about all the buzzy names here from August.
52:48And then for this upcoming week, we have Tuesday running back rankings with Justin Boone on the channel.
52:53And then Wednesday morning, Hayden and I are going to record a wide receiver show on top of it ahead of kickoff
52:59on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of week one. Sound good?
53:02Let's do it. All right. Have a great weekend, everyone.
53:05We'll see y'all then.
