Yes

... all three Cowboys fans, so it would, it would hurt us all a lot for Derrick Henry to take over Emmitt Smith's rushing record.

But no, I mean, the, the thing with Derrick Henry in this one is it's pretty simple.

Like, he is very game script sensitive when it comes to how his fantasy production goes.

And when he is in games where they're going to win the game, um, he's usually a player that scores 20-plus fantasy points every single time.

Like, it's, it's very consistent for, for him.

He, he scores the touchdowns.

Yeah

I'm not quite sure where I stand yet, but where are you with this Cowboys defense under Christian Parker?

I think we're going to be at least average this season.

Um, You know, you have to think about the upside of what happened versus last year, right? So last year, we come in with Eber Flus.

I think we, all as fans and analysts, basically recognized that that situation, just the way the defense was called in general, was pretty bottom tier, right? So that's step one.

Then you add all of the players that we've added in the offseason as well.

We talked about Caleb Downs, Toby Durant.

And then getting players healthy, right? DeMarvion Overshawn, Javon Ravel, a year or two ascension of Donovan Azaraku.

Like if he's your third or fourth linebacker, I feel way better about their entire unit.

So are you reading this the same way? And you think that this is becoming a pretty clear picture for us with these two guys?

I'm not 100% sure.

The problem with this is that, one, Bucky played the first three snaps, and all of those were run plays, and then they took him out, and he never came back in for the rest of the game.

I think it was Gainwell that came in for the pass.

The second series, yeah.

And that was it.

Right.

And I know the big beneficiary and Houston, you know, is, is going to be Nico Collins, but as well as any of your thoughts here, you know, for the Patriots with booty leaving.

So,

yeah, it is Mazda more for me.

So it's not about the pro.

So I'm going to assume that a lot of your stuff is driven off of like the prospect profile.

And then even though like, you know, some of the metrics before before the injury last year were like better than Michael Wilson.

So you would assume that he's going to be the number two or so target on the team.

And I think my assumptions are a little bit different.

So yeah, let me know what you think about Jalen Hurts.

Go.

He's one of the guys that popped in the model, um, because typically guys that run these more, like, deeper route tree situations aren't always gonna pop in this model, but the fit with Jordan Love, who's actually a really good deep ball player minus when it's to Matthew Golden, um, [chuckles] he's, he's, they're just a really good fit together.

And, um, and the things that Christian Watson runs and what I project him to do in this offense this season, um, is going to allow him to really get unlocked in this situation.

The offense in general does a lot of cheat codes.

They like to do a lot of play action, under center work that, that ... typically does stuff that at least gets guys, um, in space a little bit more often.

Like, you can see situations where you do an under center play action play, and the linebackers take a step forward.

It gives Christian Watson a little bit of space to leak in between the two, the, uh, the linebackers and the safeties, and then you just have a little bit more space to potentially break off a big play.

I don't want him to steam too much 'cause I've been loving him.

So do you expect him to lead this wide receiver room? And if so, do you expect him to pay off his ADP?

Yeah, I do.

The thing that I think is really interesting too, because a lot of this ADP stuff comes back to like, you can't really stack rank all the players because the running backs will likely end up like rated higher than a receiver.

So it really comes down to like your roster construction.

Let's say that Parker Washington got like 900 yards and eight touchdowns or something like that.

Would we feel good about it? I actually think that that would make him like pretty much probably rated higher from a wide receiver ranking perspective versus his ADP.

But when you stack them up with like running backs and other things like that, it wouldn't necessarily like pay off relative to like maybe a Tony Pollard, Juba Hubbard, whatever.

But I'm curious to hear what your perspective is.

So do you expect him to lead this wide receiver room? And, and, and if so, do you expect him to pay off his ADP?

Yeah, I do.

Um, the thing that I think is really interesting, too, because a lot of this ADP stuff comes back to, like, it...

You can't really stack rank all the players 'cause the running backs will likely end up, like, rated higher than a receiver.

So it really comes down to, like, your roster construction.

Um, let's say that Parker Washington got, like, 900 yards and 8 touchdowns or something like that.

Would we feel good about it? I, I actually think that that, that would make him, like, pretty much probably rated higher from a wide receiver ranking perspective versus his ADP, but when you stack him up with, like, running backs and other things like that, it wouldn't necessarily, like, pay off relative to, like, maybe a Tony Pollard, Juba Hubbard, whatever.

What do you think?

me

the questions have been why are you doing this like what's your thought process behind it i've seen in random discords too because people will tag me in like i think i've been tagged in in some of your guys's discords too and people will ask me questions like you know what's your read on this And my answer is, like, the reason why I'm doing this is because, one, I've done this for previous years.

Like, I've been doing FFPC main event contests.

I've been doing Underdog for a while, DK, everything.

I just decided to get out of the shadows.

But really, I'm still in the shadows if you look at my background.

But that's kind of why I decided to do it.

Like you can have the Jaguars in every draft that you do.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So we don't have to belabor that point.

So I think some things that you got through that you were talking about are reasons why I may, you know, it's not easy to fade a guy with this profile, right? Because you see the rushing upside, which is typically what we like to see.

We talk about Rich Rebar building that like profile of like a Konami code quarterback.

Jackson Dart kind of fit that profile like at first before the injuries and then they kind of scaled that back, right? You have to project what you think is going to happen in the next situation.

How many times did we see him go to that blue medical tent when he was doing the more running opportunities that he ended up taking, the scrambles that he was doing? He had a lot.

Make the bear case on Jordan Addison.

Tucker Kraft is going three and a half rounds ahead of him, and he's coming off a significant injury himself.

Yeah.

So people might not know this, but I have a little bit of a medical background.

Not, like, super deep in the weeds, but, um, work with medical professionals a lot.

So I've talked to a number of people that, that have specifically performed this procedure that George Kittle, uh, went through and exactly what his injury is, and then have also sourced information from people on Twitter who kind of, like, have read more about the situation in general.

Um, the big thing here is that the Achilles used to be...

And I, I'm a Cowboys fan, so this is going back way back in the '90s.

Are we just overthinking this? Is this Se- Saquon Barkley with the Eagles in '24, uh, 2.0?
